Zhou Shixian was not wrong. Li Zicheng's army set off from Beijing City on April 13th, and joined forces along the way from Xuanfu, Datong, Jizhou, Zhending and other places to move towards Shanhaiguan.

After passing Tongzhou, the troops of the Right Camp led by Yuan Zongdi finally caught up with the large army.

The 130,000 troops mobilized by Li Zicheng from all over the place were finally fully loaded, which was almost double the 70,000 people who were originally planned to go to Shanhaiguan.

To suppress Wu Sangui, more than 70,000 people were enough. The number of extras was to prevent the possible emergence of Manzhou soldiers.

Li Zicheng had never fought with Manchu soldiers. Although he had heard of the reputation of Manchu soldiers being able to fight, these reputations were only accumulated in the battle to defeat the Ming Dynasty's official army. In Li Zicheng's eyes, such reputation would be a big discount because he felt that the person who was the best at dealing with the official army in the world was himself.

Although I am not afraid, I just think it is prepared for any trouble. After all, when I first entered Beijing, the poster was very convincing. According to Gu Junen's suggestion, it would be no harm to keep one more trick.

"Father!" Zhang Nai, the adopted son of Li Zicheng, led a few soldiers, and trotted all the way to him. "The scouts from the front camp have arrived in Guanxi and have contacted Tang Tong. The pass is calm for the time being, and the Wu army has not yet left the city."

"Have all battalions moved as usual?" Li Zicheng asked quietly, "Have the number of people been checked? Are there any of them left behind?"

"My son has just rushed over from General Quan, General Tian Jianxiu, who was in charge of military affairs. After the inspection was completed under the order of his father, all the camps were ready!"

After saying that, he took out a piece of paper and reported it to Li Zicheng loudly.

General Quan Liu Zongmin led the Quan private army, with a total of 18,000 people, and the sons were appointed as the deputy, and Dang Shousu was appointed as the deputy.

General Liu Fangliang led the Zuoying, with a total of 21,000 people, and Liu Rukui was the deputy.

General Yuan Zongdi led the Right Camp, with a total of 23,000 people. Bai Minghe was appointed as the deputy, and Liu Tichun was appointed as the deputy.

General Liu Xiyao led the front camp, with a total of 6,000 people, and Xie Junyou was the deputy.

General Li Guo led the rear camp, with a total of 24,000 people, and Tian Hu was appointed as the deputy.

General He Jin led the Zuo Laoying camp, with a total of 8,000 people.

General Zhang Tianlin of Zuowei, led the Zuowei camp to guerrilla warfare, with a total of 8,000 people.

General Ma Chongxi of Youguoyi led the guerrillas in the Right Guard, with a total of 5,000 people.

After hearing this, Li Zicheng nodded with satisfaction. The more than 110,000 people were basically his old camp.

Interestingly, Li Zicheng's five battalions military system was imitated by the five armed forces governor's office system of the court, and his government was also imitated by the six ministries of the court. However, he changed the statement and called the Ministry of War the Military Government and the Ministry of Personnel the Civil Affairs Government.

"Where is the border soldiers?"

He asked about the elite part selected from the three-sided surrendered troops, including infantry and cavalry.

"Tang Tong's nine thousand people had already taken advantage of Shanhaiguan. A few days ago, he was attacked by Wu Sangui and fought a war. He did not resist and withdrew from Guancheng. Now he has eight thousand people stationed on a stone."

"Well, Tang Tong has lived up to his entrustion."

"Bai Guangen's six thousand people, together with Liu Xiyao's front camp, have approached Guanxi, and Jiang Guan's three thousand people are also moving as usual." Zhang Nai said in detail, "Their morale is not bad. Thanks to the father's grace for sheltering, they all say that they will capture Wu Sangui alive and offer it to his father."

"Is there any news about Wang Zeyao?" Li Zicheng asked with concern.

Wang Zeyao was the Minister of the Dashun Bing Government. After Wu Sangui returned to Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng sent him to Shanhaiguan to make his last effort to persuade Wu Sangui.

"There is no news," Zhang Nai shook his head and said, "I don't think my father needs to hug Wu Sangui anymore."

"Shuangxi, what do you think Wu Sangui is relying on? He dares to return in Yongping." This is a doubt that has been lingering in Li Zicheng's heart. He is inconvenient to tell others. He can only talk to his adopted son. "Although his Guanning soldiers are still capable of fighting, they are only 30,000 people. Among them, the Yi Ding Qi and Mongolian Sharp Ding were only 30,000. In addition, the 10,000 people of the closed general Gao Di and 10,000 people in Liaodong, and at best, 50,000 people. Why do you want to let the father and son be rebelled and touch the stone with an egg?"

"I have heard a statement about the reason why Wu Sangui rebelled," Zhang Nai said in a low voice, "I have something to do with the Chief Sgt. Liu."

"You are also a marquis, and you should be called a title."

"Yes." Zhang Nai replied, "It's Mr. Liu."

The nine marquises of Dashun, Liu Zongmin was Ru Marquis and Zhang Nai was Yi Marquis. However, Zhang Nai was used to calling Liu Zongmin Liu Master since childhood, and he couldn't change it for a while.

Li Zicheng shook his head and smiled, signaling Zhang Nai to continue.

"I heard that after Mr. Liu entered Beijing, he was not satisfied with the first place he lived in. Later, he moved to Tian Guifei's father Tian Hongyu's mansion. There was a singer in the Tian Mansion named Chen Yuan. A few days ago, he asked Mr. Liu to...I fell in love with..."

"If you like it, just like it, just a singer." Li Zicheng saw Zhang Nai hesitantly and thought that this was not a big deal, and it was worth Zhang Nai to give it a special statement?

"This Chen Yuan seems to be from the Eight Beauty of Qinhuai. His stage name is Chen Yuanyuan. It was bought by Tian Hongyu from Nanjing for a large sum of money and gave it to Wu Sangui."

Only then did Li Zicheng understand what Zhang Nai wanted to say, and frowned and asked, "Why don't I know about this?"

Zhang Nai smiled and said, "Who dares to gossip about Mr. Liu?"

"You mean, Wu Sangui is just for this Chen Yuan, so he fired a cannon in Yongping and rebelled back to Shanhaiguan?"

"It's not just for this matter, there's something behind it," said Zhang Nai. "This Chen Yuan seemed unwilling to obey. He contacted seven men and women with another singer named Gu Shou and escaped from Mr. Liu's mansion at night."

"What happened later?"

"Of course I was caught back later. All seven men were cut off on the spot," said Zhang Nai. "It was Chen Yuanyuan and Gu Shou. I heard that when I was taken into the mansion, I was wearing only torn underwear. The situation was very unbearable."

That is to say, Wu Sangui's favorite concubine was probably insulted by other things. Li Zicheng had a calm face and did not speak.

"There are rumors that Wu Sangui heard about this in Yongping and cursed, saying that Mr. Liu was too bullying, so he went back to Shanhaiguan."

Li Zicheng looked at his adopted son, thought for a while before speaking again.

"At this point, Wu Sangui's wolf's ambition has never truly been obedient to this matter. Whether he rebels or not has nothing to do with this matter."

"My son understand." Zhang Nai answered quickly.

It's no use to blame Liu Zongmin. After entering Beijing this time, although Liu Zongmin's behavior was a bit unrestrained and arrogant, he was a loyal old man who had been following him for many years. This time, this time, the front line was still under Liu Zongmin's general order.

"Is the prince okay?" Li Zicheng asked as if he was careless.

"The prince is with him, and it is still quiet all the way," Zhang Nai replied solemnly, "The same is true for King Ding, King Yong, King Qin, and King Jin."

The final question is still about the Manzhou soldiers who have never met and have only been heard of in legends.

"Is there any news about the Northern Army?"

"No." Zhang Nai said with certainty, "Tang Tong has sent out a sentry cavalry. According to his report, no Dazi's forward appeared to the north of Guancheng."

Li Zicheng looked up at the lead-gray sky and made up his mind.

"Okay, I'll send an order to speed up the progress. If Wu Sangui still refuses to surrender, he will eat him in one bite!"
