Li Zicheng has changed, since that day after the divination, Li Zicheng does not seem to be the previous Li Zicheng, the former Li Zicheng was a rogue, but since that day, after those few long live, Li Zicheng's heart has undergone some small changes.

After coming back that day, he asked Li Yan in a joking tone: "Do you think I can really be the Son of Heaven?" ”

Li Yan told him very seriously: "Zhu Chongba can be the Son of Heaven, why can't the king?" If you don't be the Son of Heaven, what will you do? ”

Li Zicheng has come to his senses! That's right! Lao Tzu doesn't be the Son of Heaven, what is he doing against Ming? Just to be a rogue boss?!

Of course, he also has a worried question: "Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, and Yuan Shizhong are all heroes, how can the destiny of heaven only be on me?" ”

Li Yan told him unhurriedly that the biggest dream of these people in their lives is to be a soil overlord, they have no program, no goal, and Li Zicheng is different, Li Zicheng already has his own program, that is, the four big characters of "Juntian Exemption" proposed by Li Yan.

"Hate Mr. too late!" This was Li Zicheng's last sigh, he suddenly felt that if he had gotten this person ten years earlier, maybe he would not have been hiding in the mountains and not daring to go out now.

Li Yan's words planted a seed in the hearts of every soldier who broke into the army, maybe many of them already had this seed, but they didn't notice that after this incident, Li Yan watered these seeds, fertilized them, and let them start to sprout slowly, and these seeds will become towering trees that overturn the Ming Dynasty in the future!

The matter of divination in the temple soon spread, except for Gao Yigong, the entire military camp fell into boiling, and under Li Yan's conscious addition, Li Zicheng's sacredness also began to be established.

Who is Li Zicheng? That's after the Li clan in Longxi! The descendants of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty! What? You said that the place where Li Zicheng was born was the land of Longxing in Western Xia? What does the Xixia surname Wei care about my surname Li? And when did Longxi become the inherent territory of Western Xia?

In the history of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, Li Zicheng often smeared himself as the descendant of Li Jiqian, but this is just like a joke, looking at the "Jiedu Envoy" and "Defense Envoy" set up by Li Zicheng after Jianshun, you can know whose heir Li Zicheng is, not to mention that the Western Xia clan has long been slaughtered by the Mongols, and it can only be said that the face of the Ming Dynasty is gone.

In short, under Li Yan's public opinion offensive, Li Zicheng's identity began to get a preliminary myth, the program is there, the identity is there, and the next step is to go to the specific strategic development, after all, you are the descendant of the Jade Emperor, Chongzhen is still sitting in the Forbidden City, you have to overthrow him, and the world will recognize you.

Three days later, Li Zicheng was promoted to the military meeting.

This military conference can be described as a luxurious lineup, and almost all the generals with old qualifications in the army have arrived, Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, Li Jin, Li Shuangxi, Dang Shousu, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, and Gu Kecheng all came.

In the military tent, Li Zicheng is in the first place, Li Yan and Gu Junen are on both sides, and the generals are standing on both sides of the aisle, and in the center of the aisle is a large map drawn by Li Yan himself.

Li Yan's other skills may not be anything, but he is quite sensitive to the map, although he can't be specific to the mountains and rivers of Fuxian County, but the general outline is still clear, at least it is better than the army to fight by asking for directions, the map is the most important thing in the war, but it is not said that it is the army, even if it is the Ming army, it is estimated that there are not many.

Looking at the map of the mountains and rivers on the ground, all the generals were dumbfounded, although many of them were illiterate, but they had been marching and fighting for many years, they also knew how meaningful this thing was.

"This is a map drawn by Mr. Gu and Mr. Li." Li Zicheng pointed to the big picture spread out on the ground and said, "With this thing, our army will definitely attack the city and conquer the land, and we will be invincible!" ”

It is not necessarily possible to conquer the city and conquer the city, but it is definitely possible to get the first opportunity in strategic deployment.

"It's a good thing...... the generals whispered, they had been fighting for many years, and they could see at a glance what worked and what didn't.

"Today's summoning of all the military is nothing else, Yang Sichang's old thief has surrounded us for a long time, I decided that we can't be so passive anymore, we have to get out! I have to escape from this place of death, and now I want to invite all the generals to think about it together, where should I go in the future? Li Zicheng's eyes were round, and his strong voice attracted everyone's attention.

Liu Zongmin, as the first pioneer under Li Zicheng, naturally spoke first, and said loudly: "I think it's ......."

"Brother Zongmin wait a minute, listen to Mr. Gu first" Li Zicheng raised his hand in a flat tone to interrupt Liu Zongmin's words, his expression was surprisingly calm, as if this was a normal thing.

But is this really normal? This is not normal!

Li Zicheng has always trusted Liu Zongmin, and Liu Zongmin is the first in all military discussions, followed by Tian Jianxiu, and then Li Jin, it can be said that Li Zicheng values Liu Zongmin even more than his relatives who are related by blood.

But this time, Li Zicheng actually interrupted Liu Zongmin's speech! This is a clear signal that Liu Zongmin's performance has made Li Zicheng no longer trust him, and may even be a little wary.

Liu Zongmin is a rough man, but he is not stupid, he instantly realized the problem, his performance some time ago chilled the heart of King Chuang! Suddenly, his face turned red, he wanted to defend but didn't know how to speak, and the generals also looked at him with a lot of amusement.

Gu Junen didn't give Liu Zongmin a chance to defend himself, and directly said, "The subordinates obey the order." ”

"I think that at the moment, we should still follow the established policy, from Fengjie to the west, first hit Kuizhou, and then follow the river into Chongqing, if Chongqing is desirable, then take it, if it is not desirable, enter Sichuan, capture Chengdu, and divide Shuzhong, then you can rely on the danger of the sword gate to block the imperial court soldiers and horses, sit and watch the general trend of the world, if it is desirable, then go out of Hanzhong and go straight to the Central Plains, if it is not desirable, it can also be taken according to the danger of mountains and rivers, and become a hegemon!" Gu Junen still adheres to his strategy of entering Shu.

Except for Liu Zongmin, who was pale because he was robbed of white by Gu Junen, and Li Jin, who was contemplative with his jaw stroked, all the generals nodded in approval, the country of heaven in Shu, and the Bashu Plain are suitable for planting, are you afraid that you won't be able to be a Liu Bei if you enter it?

"I thought it was a good idea!" Dang Shousu took the lead in expressing his approval, he is a native of Shaanxi, and he is also a veteran of the army, when Li Zicheng was beaten only 18 horses left to escape into Shangluo, he followed, Sichuan is of course good, out of Hanzhong is Shaanxi, you can fight back to your hometown.

The surrounding generals quickly nodded in approval.

"King Chuang, I think it's inappropriate to enter the river" At this time, Tian Jianxiu spoke.

"Why?" Li Zicheng looked at Tian Jianxiu and asked.

"I don't understand those big truths, I only know that people who have always entered Shu have no good ends, and powerful characters like Zhuge Liang are trapped in Shu, and if we go in, won't we be trapped there even if we take Sichuan?" Tian Jianxiu frowned and expressed his worries.

"So what do you think we should do?" Li Zicheng also has a lot of trust in this Tian Jianxiu, after all, they are all old brothers, and now that Liu Zongmin has lost his trust, Tian Jianxiu seems to have become the number one confidant.

"I think we should still attack Huguang" Tian Jianxiu didn't know where Huguang was on the map, so he could only point indiscriminately, and then said: "Huguang has a lot of food, and we can feed an army even if we fight it, and Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai are also nearby, so they can support each other." ”

"It's good that Zhang Xianzhong's dog thing doesn't swallow us, and you still want to ask him for support?" Li Shuangxi refuted with dissatisfaction: "Sooner or later, I will kill this ungrateful dog!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong is indeed not a thing, the old king helped him a lot, and Li Zicheng was also very close to him, but Li Zicheng rebelled from Shangluo and went to rely on Zhang Xianzhong, this brute caught the attention of Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses, and actually wanted to kill Li Zicheng to seize his soldiers and horses, but fortunately Li Zicheng was not easy to give, and ran away with people overnight.

But because of this reason, Yang Sichang was able to break through one by one, Li Zicheng is indispensable to this point today without his Zhang Xianzhong's credit, and the people who broke into the camp naturally hated Zhang Xianzhong's itchy teeth.

"What does Mr. Li think?" Li Zicheng turned his head to look at Li Yan, who was standing there.

Li Yan is not in a hurry to speak, he has the least seniority in the army, if he takes the lead, he is afraid that he will evil these fierce generals, Li Yan does not want to intrigue with them, he just wants to rely on his prediction ability to eat, so his natural posture is also very low.

But since Li Zicheng asked, he should also say it.

Li Yan strode in front of the map, the map he drew was not very accurate, and many place names were filled in with Gu Junen's help, so there should be no problem in general, and I couldn't help but see the details.

Li Yan walked to the approximate location of Fengjie, then stretched out his finger to point at Fengjie, stretched all the way to the north, until Henan, and then nodded, and said: "I think, it is not wise to go west to Sichuan, and it is not good to take Huguang in the east, when you go north, go straight to Henan!" ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Li Zicheng was also stunned, and they all looked at Li Yan, wanting to hear how he explained his thoughts.

Gu Junen also shook his head at this moment and retorted: "The Central Plains has been the land of four wars since ancient times, and it is not easy to get it. ”

Of course, Li Yan knew that the first base area that Li Zicheng really established in the future was in Huguang, but the problem was that the current Huguang was completely different from the Huguang in the future, and the Ming army in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen was completely different from the Ming army in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen.

The current Ming army has not yet experienced Li Zicheng's annihilation of several major regiments in the Guannei, nor has it been killed by Huang Taiji in the Battle of Songjin.

"Does Mr. Gu know how much a bucket of rice is sold in Henan now?" Li Yan suddenly asked with a smile.

"I don't know." Gu Junen is very sincere, in fact, in this era of backward information, the Chuang army doesn't know what the situation in the world is, just like they don't know that the reason why they can recover is because the Qing army entered the Qing army in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, forcing the imperial court to draw troops to deal with the Qing army.

Huang Taiji, the biggest anomaly in Manchuria, not only saved Manchuria, which was about to collapse in the later period of Nurhachi, but also saw the value of the peasant army with an extremely terrifying strategic vision.

For these people who don't even know the name of Huang Taiji, they may not have thought that they have become a pawn of the Manchurian emperor outside the gate at this moment.

However, Li Yan came, these Li Yan knew, Li Yan knew what the situation was in this world, because he could see this era from the perspective of God!

"In Henan, a bucket of rice can already be sold for a thousand wen," Li Yan said as he stretched out a finger and shook it.

"So expensive!" All the generals of the army were shocked, they couldn't afford to live at this price, a bucket of rice was a thousand Wen, and the kindest peasants would rebel.

"How does the gentleman know this?" Li Zicheng was quite puzzled, how did Li Yan, who had been in Yufu Mountain, know.

Li Yan naturally thought of an excuse a long time ago: "My subordinates knew some homeless people from Henan before, and they told my subordinates. ”

"The king, fighting rice for thousands of dollars, don't say that it is an ordinary farmer, even the average rich family can't afford this price, and Henan has always been a province with a large population, if I go straight to Henan at this moment, a big banner and a tree, are you afraid of the lack of soldiers? Don't say it's a homeless farmer, it's just a person in the Ming army who is afraid and there is no shortage of people who respond! Li Yan arched his hand and said loudly.

Li Zicheng nodded frequently when he heard this, fighting rice and thousands of dollars, it is indeed an exaggeration, if this is the case, then I am afraid that Henan has become a mess.

"Secondly, Sichuan and Huguang are by no means the best choices, Sichuan is as you said, the country of abundance, the people are relatively wealthy, and the army of the king enters it, but I am afraid that there are many disgusted people and few followers, not to mention that Qin Liangyu of Kuizhou is not a good person, can the king really win the battle? If we can't win, I'm afraid that we will be trapped in Sichuan and will be defeated."

Just kidding, Sichuan is a place where homeless people can go to play? First of all, Qin Liangyu is indeed a famous general, and secondly, the imperial court sent Yang Sichang just to think that Li Zicheng would enter Sichuan and chase all the way, not to mention what if he entered Sichuan? Sichuan is not suitable for the survival of the Liukou, Zhang Xianzhong later went to Sichuan and did not really pacify Sichuan until he died, and the Qing army could only run to Yunnan as soon as it went south, Li Yan did not want Li Zicheng to become Zhang Xianzhong.

"Although Huguang is rich, it is also a place where the imperial court focuses on extermination, and there are many rogues here, if we are here, I am afraid that we will not only have to face the threat of the official army, but also have to deal with the threat of the rogues, so why don't we simply stagger the development and enter Henan?" This is called staggering the track, looking for market segments, don't roll in, Huguang is going to be rolled, what else is the volume?

Zhang Xianzhong at this time is not Zhang Xianzhong who was frightened by Li Zicheng's letter four years later and fled in the wilderness, his military strength at this moment is far greater than Li Zicheng's!
