The Meridian Valley is about 100 miles away from the south entrance, and Li Zicheng led 2,000 troops to join the remnants of Gao Yingxiang. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang have been separated for a year at this time, and when he saw Gao Yingxiang's old and embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help but feel sad, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said: "King Chuang, the little nephew is guilty of a serious crime, causing Zhang Xianzhong to die, and absconding in fear of crime, and failing to come to help, so that you have today's defeat." My little nephew is willing to be severely punished to atone for my sins. ”

When Gao Yingxiang saw Li Zicheng, he was already so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, how could he blame him, and said: "What are you guilty of? If you hadn't left earlier, how could you have retained so many complete troops? I see that the soldiers and horses under your command are well-trained and disciplined, far better than me, and it seems that you have grown a lot this year." ”

Li Zicheng hurriedly said: "What are you talking about King Chuang? The little subordinates are the subordinates of the King Chuang, and the little ones are trying their best to train them, so that they can better serve the King of Chuang......"

Gao Yingxiang smiled, interrupted Li Zicheng's words, and said, "Zicheng, get up, tell me why you came to Meridian Valley?"

Li Zicheng replied: "Yes." Quickly stood up and said: "Before, due to carelessness, Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Zhinan fought, and they failed to rescue, resulting in Zhang Xianzhong's defeat. For a while, he was afraid of your punishment, so he fled to Shanxi and established a base for breaking into the army there. This time, I heard that you were besieging Hanzhong, and it was just an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so I led 20,000 troops to come to the rescue. As soon as I arrived in Hanzhong, I heard the news of the mutiny of your subordinates. ”

Li Zicheng paused, and then said: "I don't know where you are going, but I know that this incident will definitely hit you hard, and I was anxious for a while, and I wanted to make you regain my strength, so I remembered the rumors of the true dragon in the Meridian Valley, and thought that as long as the true dragon is found, and then the incident in your name will definitely be able to make the world move and everyone will follow." So he led 2,000 people here. ”

Gao Yingxiang looked at Li Zicheng's sincere face, and suddenly said, "Zicheng, I heard that your nickname is called Chuang General?"

Li Zicheng was stunned, and he didn't know why he asked this question, so he replied: "Exactly, this is what everyone makes fun of me, which means that I only know how to break through blindly, and I have no strategy." ”

Gao Yingxiang laughed and said: "What's wrong with breaking into the general? Everything is broken out, if you don't break in, how can you get ahead? According to what you say, isn't I, the king of breaking in, the number one reckless man in the world?"

Li Zicheng didn't know what he meant, so he had to be submissive and deal with it casually.

After that, the two teams marched together, and Gao Yingxiang invited Li Zicheng to advance together, but Li Zicheng couldn't shirk it, so he had to agree.

After trekking hard for several miles, Zhuge Yueming climbed to a high place, looked at the terrain, and said to Gao Yingxiang: "King Chuang, it is said that the place where this true dragon fell is at the north entrance of the Meridian Valley, not far from Xi'an. ”

Gao Yingxiang looked at Li Zicheng and said, "Zicheng, what do you think?"

Li Zicheng was flattered and said: "I am the only one who is the king and the horse." ”

Gao Yingxiang looked serious and said, "I'm asking you now." ”

Li Zicheng had no choice but to say: "This meridian valley is so difficult to walk, our army will inevitably be exhausted when we reach the north entrance." It is best to get the real dragon and retreat, if you really attack Xi'an, you may be defeated. ”

Gao Yingxiang nodded and shouted loudly: "Everyone listens to their own." ”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. But no one dares to say more, I am afraid that as soon as I open my mouth, I will follow the deeds and fall into the truth, which is not conducive to future development. But there was a thought in everyone's hearts: "Could it be that Gao Yingxiang wants Li Zicheng to take over?"

After more than ten days of walking over mountains and mountains, trekking through mountains and rivers, everyone finally came to the vicinity of the north entrance of the Meridian Valley.

Zhuge Yue people climbed high and looked into the distance, and suddenly found something, and they were overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "King Chuang, I have found a real dragon!"

"Really?" Gao Yingxiang was also overjoyed when he heard it. Hurriedly climbed the mountain with Li Zicheng, looked into the distance, and sure enough, he found a huge figure in a valley, and a pair of giant wings behind him were flat and open, but they seemed to be scorched and blackened.

"This is a real dragon...... Dead?" Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and a hint of foreboding arose in his heart.

"It doesn't matter if it lives or dies, as long as you get it, you can become famous. Zhuge Yue said.

"Alright, the whole army will set off, and march due north!" said King Chuang, jumping down the mountain rock, and shouted loudly.

As soon as the words fell, suddenly a roar came from all over the mountains, and I saw the mountains and rocks on both sides, and countless soldiers densely popped up on the road in front of them, surrounding the group.

"Gao Yingxiang, you can be captured!" an elegant voice came from the army in front. Gao Yingxiang looked at it, and saw a person with a strange appearance and a calm bearing, and he was the first to ride a horse, it was Sun Chuanting.

For a while, the intruding army was all stunned. A wave of desperation welled up in my heart.

After more than ten days of marching, they were already exhausted, and when victory was in sight, they suffered such a blow as if they had fallen directly from heaven to hell.

And the other party seems to have been waiting here for a long time, not only energetic, but also morale-high, looking at himself like a wolf staring at a sheep.

The number of victories and defeats is known without a fight.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang calmed down, showed a relieved smile, turned around and held Li Zicheng's hand and said: "Zicheng, from now on, you will not be called a general, you can accept my name as the king of Chuang." ”

Li Zicheng was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Why did King Chuang say this? We will swear to protect you from the encirclement." ”

Gao Yingxiang still smiled and said, "I've thought about it, I'm afraid it's the will of heaven that I met you here." If I hadn't seen you grow up like this, I wouldn't have been able to entrust you with great responsibilities, and I wouldn't have been able to die with peace of mind. I have a word for you to remember, we are righteous troops, and we must put righteousness first. The key lies in benevolence, and only those who are benevolent will win the world. You are loyal and righteous, and I am not worried about this righteous word, but you must always keep this benevolent word in mind. If you forget one day, think of what I am like today!"

After that, Gao Yingxiang took out the treasure knife behind him, handed it to Li Zicheng, turned around and shouted: "Today, Gao Yingxiang intends to fight to the death with the enemy, who is willing to follow me." ”

The soldiers shouted one after another, expressing their willingness to follow him.

But Gao Yingxiang immediately whispered to Brother Zhuge and said: "Yue Ren, Yue Ming, I know that you are the best talents in the world, if it weren't for my weak talents, I would have achieved great things." Now I have passed on the name of King Chuang to Zicheng, he is brave and strategic, chivalrous and benevolent, and he will be the lord of the world in the future. ”

The Zhuge brothers and Li Zicheng were all panicked when they heard this, and refused repeatedly, asking to escort Gao Yingxiang away.

Gao Yingxiang's face changed, he raised his long sword to his neck, and said sharply: "If you dare to persuade me to leave, I will die in front of you now." ”

When everyone saw it, they knew that their minds had been decided, and they didn't dare to persuade them again, so they all bowed to Gao Yingxiang with tears in their eyes. Then the Zhuge brothers led the Hidden Knife Gate, the Thousand Eyes Gang, and a thousand soldiers to protect Li Zicheng, turned around and ran towards the south entrance of the Meridian Valley.

Sun Chuanting was also quite surprised to see that Gao Yingxiang did not run away, and said in a loud voice: "Gao Yingxiang, what tricks are you still playing? Today, you are exhausted and have no way to escape, so tie up your hands early, so as not to increase the number of killings and injuries." ”

Gao Yingxiang laughed loudly: "Sun Chuanting, there is only King Chuang who fights, and there is no King Chuang who surrenders, you want me to put on the head, take it yourself!"

Seeing this, the intruding army behind him suddenly boiled with blood, and out of thin air, he shouted to kill the heavens, and killed the officers and soldiers.

Sun Chuanting looked up to the sky and sighed, and with an order, arrows on both sides of the mountain rock rained down and shot towards the breaking army.

――――――――――――――――――――――

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang was captured by Sun Chuanting in the Meridian Valley, escorted into Beijing, beheaded and abandoned the city.

In the same year, Li Zicheng collected Gao Yingxiang's old department and became the new leader of the Chuang army, and his nickname changed from "Chuang General" to "Chuang King". But at this time, he was still weak and had no power to compete with the world's heroes, and when he emerged and shook the world, it would be a few years later.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Beijing City, in the Jinluan Palace.

A handsome young man, dressed in a patched robe, trembles and reads the recital in his hand. In front of him, there was a second-grade senior member, who looked like Sun Chuanting.

With tears in his eyes and an excited expression, he read the report several times, and finally put it aside, suppressed the tremor in his voice, and said to Sun Chuanting, who was kneeling in front of him: "Sun Aiqing, this matter is hard for you." ”

Sun Chuanting kowtowed and said: "This matter is all up to the emperor Hongfu Qitian, and the heavenly dragon god general descended from the sky, so as to break the enemy's offensive in one fell swoop, capture Gao Yingxiang, and quell the rebellion in the northwest." ”

"Oh, the story of the dragon has already been heard all over the world, so what about the gods?" asked the young man with interest.

"Emperor Qi, that god will refer to Xiao Bei, a student of Xi'an Taoist Academy, whose martial arts are superb and are enemies of ten thousand. When Gao Yingxiang attacked Hanzhong, he defended the Qianzhang city wall with the strength of one person, and it was not until the arrival of the heavenly dragon that the situation was reversed in one fell swoop and Hanzhong was not lost. Gao Yingxiang arched his hand.

The young man was overjoyed and said, "Is this really the case? Then I really want to see him." By the way, isn't it about to celebrate the Laba Festival recently? How is the preparation for the competition between the county lords of the ten regions and recruiting relatives?"

Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment, and said: "The people who are in the army are not very clear about such a Fengyue matter, and the emperor still needs to ask Lord Huang Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”

The young man was in a very good mood, and he didn't care, and scolded with a smile: "You old fellow, it's rare to be slippery once a year, forget it, you can go down." Father-in-law Ping, go to Xuanhuang Jin to come up. After speaking, a eunuch beside him took the order to leave.

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he thanked him and turned around to leave.

The young man suddenly shouted, "Sun Aiqing go slowly!"

Sun Chuanting hurriedly stopped, turned around and said, "What's the matter with the emperor?"

The young man smiled and said, "You go to inform Xiao Bei, just say that the widow Zhu Youzhen, everyone is called Chongzhen, and he is invited to come to the Forbidden City to drink Laba porridge on the eighth day of the lunar month." ”
