Chapter 6: Who Makes the Mistake First
Li Zicheng nodded again and again, Li Yan's analysis is reasonable, that's right, the current situation is indeed like this, he has no capital to play in the Huguang high-end bureau, and if Sichuan is a Russian turntable, if you don't play well, you will die with a headshot.
"Having said so much, I don't think it matters anywhere, let's deal with Yang Sichang, the dog thief, first, this dog thief surrounds us every day, and I can't leave if I want to!" Yuan Zongdi scolded and said.
Yang Sichang is indeed talented in encircling and suppressing the Liukou, and he can be regarded as the pillar of the Chongzhen Dynasty.
Everyone also came back to their senses at this time, yes, Yang Sichang can't fly out of the sparrows surrounded by Yufu Mountain every day, here to discuss where to go in the future to develop a little bit of pants and fart, first think about how to go out is true, although you will come to the Henan Grand Stage, but the problem is that you also have to have a life to go!
"Is there anything Mr. Li can do?" Li Zicheng was also aware of this problem, and looked at Li Yan with a very earnest gaze, in a sense, this is the most critical issue now.
Is there a way for Li Yan? Of course not......
In the history books, when recording this history, it is too much of the Spring and Autumn Period, just a sentence that Li Zicheng took more than 100 cavalry to go straight to Henan in the Nanyang area, as for how to break through, what happened in the middle, sorry, the space is limited, all are omitted.......
This makes Li Yan very uncomfortable, although he can predict the future, but there is no way to solve the current situation, and he is slowly discovering a rather frightening problem, he is promoting the development of history, will he really become a part of history if he continues like this?
Because up to now, he has found that all of Li Zicheng's decisions that are in line with history are made with his assistance, so what was the original history? Will your own changes affect the final result? But now there is no point in regretting it.
So in the face of Li Zicheng's problem, Li Yan could only sigh helplessly, and then arched his hand and said: "King Chuang, there is no good way at the moment, the morale of our army is low, the number of people is in short supply, and the armor and gunpowder are not as good as Yang Sichang......
"So what should I do?" Li Zicheng frowned when he heard this, all the grand blueprints are built on living from here, if you can't even survive, these blueprints are nonsense.
"Actually, where is the complete way to march and fight?" Li Yan thought for a while and said: "Even if he Yang Sichang reads poetry and books, studies military strategy, and is a first-class handsome talent in the world, he can't avoid making mistakes, for today's plan, there is only one word 'drag', if Yang Sichang makes a mistake first, then this situation will naturally be broken."
The duel of the top generals is to compete who makes a mistake first, and the one who makes a mistake first will fail, countless cases in history have proved this problem, Li Yan only has to gamble at the moment, bet that Yang Sichang made a mistake first, if he makes a mistake first, there is naturally a way to break the game, otherwise he can only resign himself to fate......
Hearing this answer, the generals were also quite disappointed in their hearts, thinking that Li Yan was talking about the Tao as a figure like Zhuge Kongming, but the result was still helpless about the current predicament, and it seemed that it was the case.
Although Li Zicheng was also quite disappointed in his heart, he did not show it, Li Yan has great talent, this is something he confirmed, and the current situation can only be delayed, to see if there is a turnaround, for the word "drag", Li Zicheng has a deeper understanding than Li Yan, because he has relied on this word several times to sew it out.
"Okay, Mr. Li, let's drag it first, and see if Yang Sichang's old thief is a natural handsome talent who doesn't make any mistakes at all!" Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said.
......
After the end of the military discussion, the generals returned to their respective camps, although Liu Zongmin wanted to hold Li Zicheng several times to defend himself, but Li Zicheng did not give him this opportunity after all, and directly rejected him with busy military affairs, he seemed to have really fallen out of favor, Liu Zongmin could only return to the camp with a gloomy face.
And Gu Junen stopped Li Yan and said to him with a smile: "Mr.'s talent is really admired by Gu, and it is really God's help to break into the camp to get Mr." ”
"Mr. Gu praised it falsely" Li Yan hurriedly shirked and said, Gu Junen is a person he has a good impression of, he is generous, and he is not jealous of him because of his status promotion, but he is more protective.
Of course, in fact, this is also Gu Junen's way of turning Li Yan into his own wings in disguise, after all, breaking into the camp is still the largest martial artist, Gu Junen is a strategist who is difficult to support alone, and he can only endure being humiliated by the martial artist, so he is extremely tolerant of Li Yan.
"However, Gu is still puzzled" Gu Junen looked at Li Yan and said with a smile: "Mr. is also drawing a map, and he is the first to advocate the exemption of Juntian, and he also knows the situation in the world well, so he must not be a child of an ordinary family, right?" ”
Gu Junen, this is something in the words, is it possible to suspect that I am not able to do it? Li Yan frowned slightly, but still politely arched his hand and said: "Hahaha, Mr. Gu thinks highly of so-and-so, but he wants to go to the scientific examination, but he can't pass the exam, isn't Mr. Gu the same?" ”
Gu Junen laughed when he heard this, indeed, he was the one who couldn't pass the scientific examination before he joined the army, why should he do this headless business if he could pass the imperial examination, Li Yan's words made him feel that he was also a fallen person at the end of the world.
"The so-called Xia Zhu is terrifying, and Han Qi is amazing. I'm going to throw in, but right? Li Yan said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Gu Junen felt even more bosom, and immediately laughed, and said, "Yes, yes!" But Mr. is talented, he must be the son of an official eunuch, but unfortunately he has amnesia, otherwise he may still be a young master. ”
"If it is really the child of an official eunuch, it must be a child of a scholar's family." Li Yan also followed Gu Junen's words and said haha, the children of the official eunuchs will drown in the river? What's more, the calluses on his hands don't look like an official eunuch.
Gu Junen's eyesight saw this, no wonder he couldn't get a show talent, Li Yan thought of it quite disgustingly.
Out of sight of the two, one of them was quietly eavesdropping on their conversation......
A few days later, the Ming army camped.
In the past few years, Yang Sichang has aged a lot and is also a lot haggard, although he once forced the rogues into a desperate situation, but these people are like weeds, cutting a stubble, growing a stubble, the wildfire is inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows alive.
Yang Sichang sometimes sighs, has the world of the Ming Dynasty come to an end? The Liaodong Jurchen has already crossed Mongolia, the Great Wall defense line is in vain, the Central Plains is a rogue, the more and more they are suppressed, and even the border army has turned into thieves, he also feels more and more powerless, and there are damn Hongyi troubles in the south.
Two hundred and seventy years since Taizu, is it really going to fail?
Shaking his head violently, Yang Sichang felt that it was better not to think about these troubles, he still concentrated on exterminating the Liukou in Yufu Mountain, looking at the edict of the emperor urging him to quickly exterminate Li Zicheng, he also looked helpless, My Majesty, why are you so anxious?
"Inspector, report from Yufu Mountain!" A general in armor and a sword walked in with a letter.
Yang Sichang was already a little haggard, but he still waved his hand to bring the letter, but after thinking about it, he really didn't want to read it anymore, so he simply said: "Forget it, you can read it to me here." ”
"Yes!" The general is sorry for the order.
"The superintendent personally enlightened, his subordinates have been dormant for three months, the morale in the camp has been sluggish, Li Chuang is desperate and almost wants to die, but there is a thief named Li Yan, who actually deceived the ignorant people with demonic and evil words, and the public is more obedient to Li Chuang, this person has been promoted by Li Chuang to join the army, it seems that after the previous dynasty Shangshu, there are many strategies, I am afraid that our army will be in great trouble!" It is evident that this letter was written in detail during the camp.
"Li Yan? Former Dynasty Shangshu? Yang Sichang seems to be thinking about the memories in his mind, those who can do Shangshu are all dragons and phoenixes among people, it is impossible for Yang Sichang to not remember the children of official eunuchs, but no matter how he searches, he has no impression.
"This is a big deal, if it is really the son of the Shangshu family in the previous dynasty who voted for a thief, he must report it to His Majesty." Yang Sichang said to himself, the impact of Shangshu Gongzi being a thief is too bad.
"Is there any movement over there Li Chuang? Can you try to break through? Yang Sichang turned his head to look at the officer standing below.
"Back to the overseer, there hasn't been any movement yet."
"What about the letters of persuasion?"
"Although the wording is more euphemistic than before, he still refuses to surrender, and his subordinates feel that Li Chuang is delaying time." The general said with his fists clenched.
"Don't think he's stalling for time." Yang Sichang narrowed his eyes and said, "Li Chuang is very cunning, but the old man is also happy to let him delay for a few days. ”
"Why is that?" The general asked puzzled.
"Spring is coming soon, now the old man's energy still has to be focused on encircling and suppressing the thief, although the thief was broken in Kuizhou last month, but after all, it can't be exterminated, Li Chuang's little people are not worried, and let them besiege well, and when the old man cleans up the thief, he will return to the division to kill Li Chuang. Completely wipe out these two giants. Yang Sichang said slowly.
For the current Ming court, it is obvious that Zhang Xianzhong can attract their attention even more, Zhang Xianzhong has tens of thousands of people, and there is already a momentum in the poisonous Shu, if you don't stop it in time, Sichuan will also be eroded, so Yang Sichang is now chasing Zhang Xianzhong to fight, and in February, Zhang Xianzhong was broken in Kuizhou, Zhang Xianzhong's concubine Gao and the military advisor Pan Duao were captured and sent to Xiangyang to be beheaded.
"What's going on with Zuo Liangyu?" Yang Sichang asked again.
"This ......" the general hesitated.
"Say whatever you want." Yang Sichang waved his hand and signaled the generals to report truthfully.
"Although General Soldier Zuo is still pursuing Zhang Xianzhong, his department has always been unhurried, and there are rumors in the army that General Soldier Zuo just wants to ......"
"What do you think?" Yang Sichang's brows furrowed.
"I want to raise Kou self-respect...... The general lowered his head in fear, Zuo Liangyu was Yang Sichang's confidant and favorite general, if he wasn't in a hurry, he would definitely not say that.
"Alas" Yang Sichang sighed, how could he not know that Zuo Liangyu was raising his own respect? But the problem is that now the only person he can rely on is Zuo Liangyu, and he can only open one eye and close one eye, "Order, if there are any more slanderers in the army, they will be beheaded!" ”
"Compliance...... "The general was taken aback.
"I wrote to General Zuo, urging him to hurry up, be sure to exterminate the thief in Bashu, I have already sent a letter to Governor Shao, the soldiers of Bashu and the soldiers of Huguang, can't you exterminate a small thief?" Yang Sichang's tone was mixed with the slightest dissatisfaction, he didn't want Zuo Liangyu to be dissatisfied, but it definitely didn't mean that he could condone Zuo Liangyu to raise his own respect!
"Yes." The general hurriedly took the order, the struggle between these big men was not something he could participate in, it was better to get out of it quickly.
Seeing the people leaving, Yang Sichang pressed his temples, since this time he led the troops, his body has become more and more difficult to support, where is the daily march so comfortable? He coughed and wheezed every day to the point where he couldn't sleep at night, and he felt like his body was about to collapse like this dying empire.
"If Zuo Liangyu can't be used, then who should use it?" Yang Sichang pressed his temple and thought, he had already had a heart for Zuo Liangyu, "Hmm...... He Renlong is good, quite brave, although the military discipline is corrupt, but now the eventful autumn can't take care of so much. Yang Sichang thought about it, and seemed to have made a decision in his heart.
Immediately, he picked up the brush again, and wanted to write Li Yan's name on a piece of paper densely filled with names, and the generals of the thieves were all registered on it, and now it was time to add one.
Not...... Which one is it?
I just heard my subordinates read the letter but forgot to see which word it was, and I was too lazy to look for it, so I simply picked up the pen and wrote a "rock" on it.
Looking at the two small words "Li Yan" on the paper, Yang Sichang smiled with satisfaction......
