Money is not a problem, food is the only one. Zhu Cilang actually saved a lot of money by checking the profits of the eight imperial merchants and Xishan Glass Factory. This money is enough to launch a war and fight against bandits.

But not having food is a big problem. Even if you take the money, you may not be able to buy enough military rations now. Not to mention anything else, if the three major camps go to war, they will need a lot of food and grass supply.

Zhu Cilang asked Liu Laifu to prepare two million stones of grain, which was actually not easy to do. However, Zhu Cilang also knew that this was Laifu's limit.

After all, the autumn harvest has not yet begun. Even if it has already begun, it is quite difficult to collect two million stones of grain in a short period of time. Liu Laifu thought of these new crop seeds promoted this year and gritted his teeth and agreed.

Zhu Cixuan decided to wait for another three months. Three months later, he personally led a large army to fight against the bandits.

Three months didn’t seem to be very long, but Zhu Cilang knew that three months were enough to make bandits bloom everywhere in the disaster area.

Zhu Cixuan guessed correctly. At this time, Huguang had fallen completely. A large number of refugees defected to Li Zicheng, which was not counting. Li Zicheng also incorporated tens of thousands of Ming soldiers.

In Huguang, more than 30,000 Ming soldiers were incorporated by Li Zicheng. In addition to the reorganized refugees, Li Zicheng's team instantly grew to an inflated balloon.

At this time, Li Zicheng could proudly announce to the world: I am invincible!

In fact, it is true that no one in Huguang is his opponent. Even Zhang Xianzhong was extremely envious and jealous. He would have entered Huguang if he had known.

At this time, Li Zicheng's base camp had been moved to Changde Mansion. There were many powerful generals under Li Zicheng's command, and many powerful generals who were good at fighting appeared. These people would become strong enemies of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Yuan Zongdi, Li Laiheng, Tian Jianxiu, Bai Wang, Gu Dacheng, Gu Junen, Hao Yongzhong, Gao Yigong, Liu Tiren and others, all of them were very capable of fighting. Li Zicheng conquered these generals and his power grew instantly. Even Zhu Cixuan at this time might not be his opponent.

We must not underestimate the power of these bandits. At this time, Li Zicheng was the highlight of his life. He was full of powerful generals under his command. It can be said that he was invincible and invincible. The prefectures and counties of Huguang fell one after another, and the entire Huguang land was in the hands of Li Zicheng.

At this time, Li Zicheng began to re-plan the situation in Changde Mansion. The army was divided into two factions, one supported the two factions and the other supported the eastward advance to Jiangnan.

The faction that went north to Henan was led by Liu Zongmin. They believed that Henan was in a disaster at this time. When troops entered Henan, they could continue to strengthen their power. They occupied Huguang and then annexed Henan. Then there was Shaanxi and Shanxi, and finally the army swept the capital. They entered Beijing and took over the old nest of the emperor. At that time, the King of Chuang occupied half of the Ming Dynasty, and then went south to unify the Central Plains.

This move is very big, and the purpose is to push Li Zicheng to the emperor. The emperor takes turns to come to my house next year. Didn’t the Emperor of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty, also beggar. Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, was also a gangster before. Although Li Zicheng, the King of Breaking, was a postman, did not ask where the hero came from. In the troubled times, the King of Breaking can win the world.

The other faction is more cautious. They are led by Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo. Li Guo and others believe that going north to Henan is good. But there is a Hong Niang in Henan and Li Yan. This couple is not a big deal and is specifically against the King of Chuang.

Before, Li Zicheng suffered a loss at the hands of Hong Niangzi. When he went north to Henan, he might have many obstacles. What’s important is that there was still Sun Chuanting in Tongguan, Shaanxi. Sun Chuanting also had elite Qin soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. Before, Li Guo suffered a great loss at the hands of Sun Chuanting, and he was still scared of Sun Chuanting.

Li Guo’s idea was to temporarily occupy the land of Huguang. Then, contact Zhang Xianzhong and join forces with Zhang Xianzhong to strive to capture Jiangnan in one fell swoop.

The prosperous land in Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice. It is impossible with Li Zicheng's power. If they join forces with Zhang Xianzhong, the two are like the Sun and Liu coalition forces during the Three Kingdoms period. You should know that Zhang Xianzhong has many generals under his command, such as the war god Li Dingguo, who had a strong combat power. If Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong coalition forces were all over, it would be impossible to capture the prosperous land in Jiangnan.

Li Guo, whose real name is Li Jin, also known as Li Chixin, was named Buzhi, and was a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty and a native of Mizhi, a native of Shaanxi Province. The nephew of Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising army in the late Ming Dynasty, was named Yihu.

When he was young, he was in the uprising of Li Zicheng, he defeated Sun Chuanting in Tongguan and rushed straight to Shanxi. The Dashun regime was established and he appointed General of the Power and was granted the title of Bohou, and was one of the main generals of the Dashun Army.

However, Li Guo's proposal was soon opposed by most people. The reason was very simple, and Zhang Xianzhong was not a good-looking person. If Li Zicheng joined forces with him, this person would not be able to take action first in the end, and he would attack Li Zicheng after taking Jiangnan.

This is very similar to what Zhang Xianzhong did. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were good brothers who respect each other. But in the end, they became life-and-death rivals. During this period, they naturally involved interest relations.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were originally fellow villagers, and they defected to the King of Chuang Gao Yingxiang. At the beginning, Li Zicheng was just an ordinary general, while Zhang Xianzhong brought his hands to surrender to Gao Yingxiang. In the later period, Zhang Xianzhong's power grew stronger and stronger. At that time, Li Zicheng admired Zhang Xianzhong very much. Both of them had a good relationship, and when they fought, they joined forces, which caused a great blow to the Ming Dynasty.

When the two were in Fengyang, they had a conflict due to the uneven distribution of money and spoils. Of course, all the conflicts were accumulated, and this was just the fuse of the outbreak.

Both Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are very capable, but Zhang Xianzhong's position and power are far greater than Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng could tolerate it at the beginning, but after a long time, he would naturally become an opposite. After that, Li Zicheng's development was better than Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Xianzhong would also be jealous at this time.

Later, Gao Yingxiang was defeated and captured by the Ming army. Li Zicheng, who relied on Gao Yingxiang, had to find another way out. At this time, he defected to Zhang Xianzhong. Although Zhang Xianzhong accepted it generously on the surface, he secretly wanted to kill Li Zicheng. However, Li Zicheng escaped from the trunk mouth in the end.

Unfortunately, the feng shui changed. Later, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by Zuo Liangyu, and Zhang Xianzhong chose to join Li Zicheng in desperation. Li Zicheng didn't want to let Zhang Xianzhong go, so he wanted to find an opportunity to kill him. Later, by chance, Zhang Xianzhong also escaped and saved his life.

Since then, the two completely turned against each other and became enemies for life.

Therefore, Li Zicheng actually refused to join forces with Zhang Xianzhong. Not only did he refuse, Li Zicheng was also on the border of Huguang, and he sent tens of thousands of troops to prevent Zhang Xianzhong's invasion.
