Chapter Seventy-Four: The Faith of the King!
When Li Zicheng heard this, his face suddenly darkened, this guy is still good when he gets cheap! He secretly decided in his heart that sooner or later he would snatch the Forbidden City from that kid's hands, and when the time comes, he must return to him ten times the cheapest he is getting now, ten times and a hundred times!
After Wang Quan said a word casually, he no longer paid attention to Li Zicheng, whose face was dark, bowed his hand to Li Zicheng, said goodbye, and immediately walked towards the west gate of the Forbidden City with the volunteer soldiers behind him!
Looking at Wang Quan's distant figure, Li Zicheng secretly gritted his teeth, turned his head to look at Niu Jinxing behind him, and said: "Old Niu, you just said that if their volunteers capture the Forbidden City, we can also snatch it from them directly! When will we do it? That kid was really too arrogant just now!"
Niu Jinxing's face was not very good-looking, I saw him groan slightly, and then opened his mouth and said: "King Chuang, the original plan of his subordinates was for them to attack their city gate, let's attack our city gate, even if they took their city gate first, our side is estimated to be almost done, plus at that time, our people have almost stabilized the place we occupied in the capital, and it is easy to snatch the Forbidden City from them! However, the subordinates did not expect that they would be able to take the Forbidden City without blood!" Now, I'm afraid it's not suitable for us to snatch the Forbidden City from them!"
Li Zicheng frowned, and was about to speak, but saw Niu Jinxing continue: "Moreover, at this time, our rear is not yet stable, once we really start to snatch the Forbidden City, we will definitely show many flaws, although we may not lose, but it has added too many variables, it seems that it is better to wait a few days to snatch the Forbidden City!"
Li Zicheng's face flashed a touch of unwillingness, but he was not stupid, he understood that what Niu Jinxing said was still very reasonable, so he could only grit his teeth and say: "Okay, just let that kid be arrogant for a few more days!" After speaking, he could only retreat helplessly with the Chuang Wang army under his command!
But said that after Wang Quan left with the volunteers under his command, he did not bring all the volunteers under his command into the Forbidden City, but selected a brigade of troops, which was stationed in the Forbidden City, and the other armies cooperated with the half of the men led by Li Yan to clear the resistance of the capital as quickly as possible, and take the capital into their own hands as quickly as possible!
Before you know it, another day has passed, and on this day, Wang Quan took over the defense of the entire Forbidden City with a brigade.
Wang Quan chose a brigade composed of the earliest group of veterans to be responsible for guarding the Forbidden City, and for a long enough time, he had already engraved the military regulations of the Volunteers in the bones of these veterans, ensuring that they would never do anything that violated the military discipline of the Volunteers in the Forbidden City!
And he himself is responsible for taking a group of students to negotiate with Chongzhen and discuss matters after the surrender!
Of course, Ah Jiu is not here, Chongzhen always thinks that Ah Jiu betrayed his father, therefore, he doesn't have a good face for Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu also knows Chongzhen's temper, and staying here will only make Chongzhen angry, and it has no effect, so she simply hides away!
The next day, in a luxurious mansion not far from the Forbidden City, Li Zicheng sat in the first seat of the lobby, and his generals Niu Jinxing, Dang Shousu, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Zongmin and other generals sat on both sides!
At a glance, that magnificent and extremely luxurious hall, after sitting so many people, there is a feeling of Liangshan Juyi Hall!
I saw Li Zongmin, who was sitting next to Niu Jinxing, said: "King Chuang, the news just came out, just in the past day, there have been dozens of frictions between our King Chuang Army and the Volunteer Army, and the Volunteer Army took advantage of their large number of people at that time!"
Li Zicheng, who was sitting at the top, heard this, but he was annoyed and said: "The number of my Wang army is more than several times that of their volunteers, how can they suffer because they have many volunteers?"
When Li Zongmin heard this, he was speechless, he couldn't say that many people in the Chuang Wang Army were greedy for cheap, and they went to rob the people's things, they were too scattered, and the people who met the volunteers were worried that if there were more people called, they would have less gains, and if they didn't reach a critical moment, where would they be willing to call people!
The volunteers are different, once they see the people who break into the king's army robbing the people, they immediately shoot arrows to call people, although they dare not say that a cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet, but as soon as they hear the sound of arrows, the nearby volunteers will immediately gather.
Although the number of the Chuang Wang army has the upper hand in the total number, once there is a conflict, the volunteers can gather more people in a short period of time, so how can the Chuang Wang army not suffer losses!
Seeing Li Zongmin's speech, Li Zicheng naturally knew what was going on, but the people below were not angry, and there was nothing he could do!
When Tian Jianxiu heard this, he was about to say something, but he immediately saw this magnificent lobby, and the words that were about to be exported seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say it!
Tian Jianxiu is Li Zicheng's old brother who started the army, the so-called old eighth team. In the original history, Tian Jianxiu was ordered to guard Xi'an Mansion, and refused to burn the grain at the request of the people, so he was gradually squeezed out of the core of the Chuang Wang Army, and Fu Chikou was defeated, Tian Jianxiu was seriously injured and did not die, and was rescued by his own soldiers, so he withdrew from the Chuang Wang Army!
However, due to the birth of the Volunteer Army, the stone battle in which Li Zicheng was defeated has not yet happened, and it is very likely that it will not happen in the future, and naturally there will be no such thing as Tian Jianxiu guarding Xi'an Mansion in the future, and being expelled from the inner circle without burning the grain storage at Li Zicheng's order!
Just when Tian Jianxiu was about to speak and stopped, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, and then, Li Zicheng's personal commander walked in and said to Li Zicheng: "Tell King Chuang, a volunteer from outside the door sent a letter from the head of the volunteer army, let me wait to hand it over to you!"
As he spoke, the commander of the pro-soldier took out a letter from his arms, but did not hand it to Li Zicheng, but gave it to Niu Jinxing, who was sitting beside Li Zicheng, very intimately! Then, he arched his hand to everyone in the lobby, turned around and walked out of the lobby!
Niu Jinxing took the letter sent by Wang Quan, immediately opened the envelope, took out the letter and read it!
But after only a few breaths, Niu Jinxing put down the letter in his hand!
Without waiting for Niu Jinxing to speak, Li Zicheng asked directly: "What did that yellow-mouthed boy from Wang Quan say in the letter?"
