Zhang Nai, a general of Li Zicheng, was promoted from the children's soldiers and adopted them as adopted sons, and made many military achievements.

After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he was appointed as the Marquis of Yi. Later, he followed Li Zicheng to retreat from Beijing and retreated to Tongcheng County, Hubei. After Li Zicheng died in Jiugong Mountain in Tongcheng, he followed Li Guo to Pingjiang County, Hunan to defend himself.

During the Shunzhi period, Shiniuzhai was guarded by the Qing army and was killed in battle.

Liu Tichun and Zhang Nai, two generals, were both righteous men who later resisted the Qing Dynasty. Li Zicheng kept the two generals in Huguang, and he decided to lead his troops north and advance into Henan.

At this time, Sichuan Zhang Xianzhong finally appeared. Zhang Xianzhong was thin and slightly yellow inches long, bearded by one foot and six inches, and was a vicious hero. This man was thin and had a slightly yellow face. His eyes were as chilling as an eagle.

In the first month of the leap year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by Zuo Liangyu at Guping Pass and led his troops to break into Sichuan. On the way into Sichuan, he was attacked by Zheng Chongjian and Zuo Liangyu at the Agate Mountain in Taiping County, with heavy casualties. Then he was pursued and intercepted by Huguang Army, Sichuan Army and Shaanxi Army. The peasant army company was severely damaged and retreated to the mountains of Guizhou in Xing'an. He was surrounded by Zuo Liangyu and other troops, and the peasant army was in trouble.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xianzhong, like Li Zicheng, was both an indestructible Xiaoqiang. After entering Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong soon resurrected himself in full blood and strengthened his power again.

In the first month of the 14th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong had been fighting in Sichuan for half a year. At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was chased by the Zuo Liangyu's troops in Huangling City, Kaixian County. Zuo Liangyu's gang general Liu Shijie, and the guerrilla Guo Kaili immediately went to fight. As a result, Zhang Xianzhong was waiting for his work and pulled out a team of elite troops to go around the rear of the official army to attack. Zuo Liangyu escaped, Liu Shijie and Guo Kaili were shot dead, and more than half of the soldiers in the official army were killed and injured, and Zhang Xianzhong won a complete victory.

However, Sichuan could not satisfy Zhang Xianzhong's appetite after all. Since Li Zicheng came from behind to occupy Huguang, Zhang Xianzhong often sighed. He regretted that he shouldn't have led his army into Huguang early. Otherwise, Li Zicheng would have nothing to do.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong called himself the Great Western King, and Zhang Xianzhong was rampant in the world. The most important factor was Zhang Xianzhong's superb guerrilla tactics. In Zhang's army, the ratio of cavalry and infantry was "seven steps and three horses", and the main force "everyone had a good horse or crossed a double horse", "there were horses and the horses were paid, and they went like the wind, and they traveled hundreds of miles a day and night". Whenever they went, they were seized, and the heaviest mules and horses were seized in the team of trophy, and they didn't care about anything else.

Zhang Xianzhong conferred four adopted sons as kings, Sun Kewang as King Pingdong, Liu Wenxiu as King Funan, Li Dingguo as King Anxi, and Ainengqi as King Dingbei. These four adopted sons are all powerful generals.

In Chengdu Prefecture, Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong occupied Chengdu Prefecture as his base camp. He summoned the generals to prepare to study countermeasures from Sichuan.

"This dog-good Li Zicheng actually occupied Huguang quietly. Humph, this guy has lost his luck. He relies on the advantage of natural disasters and has a few hundred thousand people so soon. Brothers, we cannot always occupy Sichuan. Only by going out to conquer the world and grab territory can we gain a foothold. Otherwise, one day, the officers and soldiers will enter Sichuan, and we will not have a place to stay."

After Zhang Xianzhong said this, his adopted descendants, Ke Wang, stood up and said, "Enjoyed Father, let's go out to Huguang and steal Li Zicheng's territory."

Liu Wenxiu also said, "The child is willing to be the pioneer. Li Zicheng was defeated in Henan. He never thought that Huguang would turn over. Originally, this land of Huguang should be ours, so how could Li Zicheng take the lead."

Ainengqi, who is known for his bravery, did not speak, but Li Dingguo shook his head: "Entertainment father, the child thinks it is inappropriate."

Li Dingguo has always been very intelligent and highly valued by Zhang Xianzhong. He was shocked when he heard this: "Dingguo, what are you saying?"

Li Dingguo thought for a while, and then said, "Entertainment Father, we have been in trouble for more than ten years. What is the biggest threat at present?"

Zhang Xianzhong was stunned: "Of course they are officials and soldiers of the court, so that's more than anything else."

After all, the bandits are a group of mobs. When they meet the decisive officers and soldiers, they can only be beaten. In most cases, they are either internal conflicts between the officers and soldiers, or they are dozens of times the number of officers and soldiers, and they are finally defeated.

Li Dingguo sighed: "If the adoptive father's army enters Huguang, he will inevitably have a conflict with Li Zicheng. The adoptive father said just now that our biggest enemy is the officers and soldiers of the court. If we fight Li Zicheng and both suffer losses, wouldn't it be that the court can reap the benefits of the fisherman? The child thinks that the most important thing at the moment is to put aside personal grudges and unite with Li Zicheng to resist the officers and soldiers of the court."

Zhang Xianzhong was afraid that Zhang Xianzhong would not be able to make his personal grudges with Li Zicheng. Hearing Li Dingguo say this, Zhang Xianzhong remained silent.

Under Zhang Xianzhong's subordinate, the left prime minister Wang Zhaolin sneered: "Dingguo is really big-minded. Li Zicheng's despicable villain has repeatedly framed our king. If you join forces with him, aren't you afraid that Li Zicheng will continue to use conspiracies and tricks to frame the king!"

Who is Wang Zhaolin? He is Zhang Xianzhong's son-in-law, also known as Wang Zhaoling. This person is the left prime minister in the army and is highly powerful. However, this person is a completely despicable villain. Wang Zhaolin instigated Zhang Xianzhong to kill innocent people and repeatedly sow trouble, which was disliked by Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons.

Li Dingguo argued with reason: "The grudges we have with Li Zicheng are the first, and we will fight the biggest enemy together. When we defeat the officers and soldiers in the future, we will fight to the death with Li Zicheng again. Now, it is not the time for internal struggle."

Wang Zhaolin laughed: "It's not the time for internal fighting? Li Zicheng's despicable, shameless and insidious villain almost ruined our king's life several times. If this person is not eliminated, it will inevitably lead to future troubles. In my opinion, it is just a word to kill, and he will kill all the way into Huguang. Those who don't accept our king will be killed without mercy. They are frightened and killed, and they are loyal to the king, but they dare not resist."

Li Dingguo was furious: "Kill and kill, you know how to kill, kill indiscriminately, killing innocent people is not tolerated by heaven and earth!"

"Enough!" Seeing that the two of them were quarreling, Zhang Xianzhong shouted angrily, and everyone immediately calmed down. Then, Zhang Xianzhong said again: "I have decided to do it. I hope, Wen Xiu, you two will bring 20,000 elite soldiers and send them to Huguang to test Li Zicheng."

Li Dingguo was shocked and wanted to persuade him again: "Entertainment Father..."

Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand: "Dingguo, you can't say anything more. Huguang cannot fall into Li Zicheng's hands. At present, Jiangbei is full of disasters. If Li Zicheng goes north to Henan again, his power will be even greater. At that time, we will not be his opponents. Gu cannot watch him rise up with the flow."

Jealousy and defense eventually prevailed. Zhang Xianzhong was afraid that Li Zicheng would become stronger than him. In the future, if Li Zicheng conquers the world, he will become his greatest threat. It is Zhang Xianzhong's purpose to restrain Li Zicheng.

So, Zhang Xianzhong sent two adopted descendants Kewang and Liu Wenxiu to go to Huguang to test the truth and reality first.
