(Thank you for your monthly ticket~~)

Everyone in the hall was stunned. They couldn't figure out what was going on, and they didn't talk much. After all, this might involve Li Zicheng's family affairs. The imperial family affairs were the most sensitive. The most important point was that neither Li Zicheng nor Li Zizai had broken the possible relationship between the two, making people even more speechless.

"I haven't returned home for a long time, and I have forgotten my hometown accent!"

A sigh appeared in Li Zicheng's eyes, and he said, "Tell me what's going on with that list? What's going on with Li Xin recently? Don't just slander me!"

When Li Zizai thought about it, he could tell that he could find out by just going to the south to inquire. So Zheng Zhilong turned against the battle in Guangzhou and lured the Dutch and the Spanish to die. Li Xin believed in his contributions and named him the King of the Philippines and allowed Zheng Zhilong to establish a country overseas.

Because the Li Dynasty took advantage of the attack on the enemy army to attack the pseudo-King of Gui, Li Xin personally led tens of thousands of troops to attack the Li Dynasty, leaving the land but not the people, and obtained the entire Honghe Plain, which led to a series of in-depth ins and outspoken news, including recruiting immigrants.

There was silence in the hall.

In the past two years, Li Xin's momentum has been too fast. He has obtained South China and regained the old land of Yongle. As for himself, the people are not full, they are not warm in their clothes, and flee in groups. Everyone has a deep chill in their hearts.

"Li Zizai, are you willing to serve me?"

Li Zicheng was silent for a moment and asked.

Li Zizai said seriously: "I am the commander-in-chief and will never betray the commander-in-chief no matter what. Since I was captured today, I have no intention of leaving alive. I heard that the King of Chuang is also a hero. If I don't use any despicable means, I just want to die quickly and hope that the King of Chuang will be fulfilled."

Li Zicheng could not kill him, so he waved his hand: "Take it down and let him see my Chang'an, don't let him go out of the city!"

"Get orders!"

Two personal soldiers stepped forward.

Li Zizai knew that this was the best result, not to mention that he stayed in Xi'an openly, so he could better collect Shunjun intelligence and provide assistance to Li Xin.

Li Xin once taught modern intelligence collection and analysis methods, mainly inquiring from the side and then doing data statistics, which not only ensures the broadness of the intelligence sources, but also effectively prevents intelligence personnel from being targeted.

"Goodbye!"

Li Zizai bowed and left with great strides.

Although Li Zizai left, everyone was worried.

Niu Jinxing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Li Xin's poaching of people from our territory may damage the emperor's reputation. Should we strictly investigate the checkpoints, prohibit going out, and collect flyers throughout the country?"

"Hey, fuck you are poaching!"

Liu Zongmin said unhappy.

“Oh ~~”

Li Zicheng sighed: "The land in Guanzhong is barren, and it has been continuously drought in recent years. It is difficult for the people. Forget it, let him leave if you want to leave, and we can also reduce the burden."

The ministers felt that Li Zicheng was a little uneasy. Thinking about the fact that Li Xin had come to join Li Zicheng at the beginning. After parting ways, he soared into the sky. He had an army of 300,000, including thousands of cannons, each with a gun, and even the navy was created, including a South China Sea Fleet and an East China Sea Fleet, each with hundreds of ships.

On the other hand, the Shun Army failed to attack Beijing and has never recovered since then. Now it is trapped in Guanzhong and even food is in difficulty. It is not because Li Zicheng has no fighting spirit. Even if they think about it, they feel disappointed.

Moreover, Li Xin has a good reputation in the Shun Army. I am afraid that the enemy will fight to Tongguan in the future, and few will fight to the death.

After a long time, Song Xiance bowed and said, "The emperor is wise!"

...

After returning to Nanjing and resting for two days, Li Xin arranged for all the girls to go to Beijing. He only brought Liu Rushi, Fei Zhen'e and Dou Meiyi by his side. Although the red tape of women in the palace was unbearable, he was respectful and obedient, and he was devoted to you, happy because of you, worried because of you, and worried because of you, and regarded you as the only existence in his life.

This is not obvious to Fei Zhen'e, but it is fully demonstrated by Dou Meiyi.

There is no need for Li Xin to hint at all kinds of services such as pinching shoulders, pounding legs, handing paper, grinding ink, etc., and you will have your own way of observing words and expressions. You will appear in front of Li Xin just in a perfect way and provide warm and considerate service.

A few days later, Li Xin led the Shanghai Marines and nearly a hundred imitation queen ships to Anqing.

Anqing is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is the western gate of Nanjing. Since the Chongzhen period, the governor of the governor guarded Anqing. In the Qing Dynasty, the Anhui Administrators' Office was also stationed in Anqing. Therefore, if Jiangnan Province is divided into Jiangsu Province and Anhui Province in the future, Anqing is the first choice for the capital of Anhui Province.

The waterway from Nanjing to Anqing is about 600 miles away. Three days later, the entire army arrived in Anqing. As soon as they got ashore, a personal guard came to report.

"The commander-in-chief, received a report from Commander Gao and Commander Li that the two commanders have been in a state of unstoppable power since the troops left Shaoguan in early May. They have now stationed troops at the city of Nanchang. The commander-in-chief of Nanchang is Liu Wenxiu, the puppet Western Dynasty Funan. They want to surrender Liu Wenxiu, but this person has not made a clear reply, so he asked the commander-in-chief whether to attack Nanchang forcibly."

"Wait a little longer!"

Li Xin pondered for a moment: "Jiujiang is stationed by Li Dingguo. Once we break away from the main force of Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu will surrender without fighting. There is no need to commit more murder. Let Gao Yigong and Li Shuangxi tell Liu Wenxiu that I allow him to wait and see. When Li Dingguo is defeated, if he does not surrender, he will be killed without mercy."

"Get orders!"

The guard turned around and left.

The fleet rested for a day and continued to sail towards Jiujiang.

Jiujiang is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, 400 miles upstream of Anqing. The waterways are crisscrossed and are close to Poyang Lake. There is no fleet support and it is very difficult to attack by infantry alone. Moreover, Jiujiang is west of Poyang Lake, and infantry crossing the lake requires fleet transportation. This is also the reason why Li Xin brought the Marine Corps and hundreds of small and medium-sized warships to Jiujiang in person.

Two days later, Jiujiang!

"Report to the prince!"

A personal soldier rushed over and bowed, "The bandit army is coming from Anqing!"

Since the end of April, the troops of the storm were divided into three groups, one from Guangxi to Hunan, led by Huang Degong and Wu Changgong to advance to Changsha, and the other route was Gao Yigong and Li Shuangxi, leaving Shaoguan and went north in two groups, surrounded Nanchang, and gathered troops in Anqing, and took a stance to attack Jiujiang. Zhang Xianzhong was ashamed of needles and needled Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo stationed in Changsha, Nanchang and Jiujiang respectively.

Li Dingguo Meng stood up and asked anxiously: "How many people have come? How many boats are there? How far is it?"

The personal soldier said: "The infantry has two troops, more than 40,000 people, led by Bai Guangen and Wang Qiang, and camped fifty miles east of Hukou. At the same time, hundreds of ships of all sizes and big and small went north along the Yangtze River and had already joined the Hukou bandit army."

Along with Li Dingguo, Ma Jinzhong and Feng Shuangli, the former was once a general of the Ming army. After being defeated by Li Zicheng, he voted for Zhang Xianzhong, and the latter was Zhang Xianzhong's general and served as the governor of the Later Army.

The three of them hurriedly looked at the map spread on the table.

Feng Shuangli stretched out his hand and pointed: "Prince, the Yangtze River is divided into upper and lower stocks in Hukou County. The upper stocks are mostly silted, and the waterway has not been cleared for a long time, so the warships of the bandits must be attacked by lower stocks."

"General Feng's words are reasonable."

Ma Jinzhong nodded and said, "The key point of this battle is to resist the enemy's army outside the Hukou. Once he is allowed to cross the Hukou, the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake will allow him to come and go. To trap Jiujiang is a dead end. Our army should do its best. Our subordinates are not talented. We are willing to lead our headquarters to guard Shizhongshan and cooperate with the prince's elite soldiers to resist the enemy's army!"

Shizhong Mountain is twenty feet high and about a radius of about a radius. It stands on the south bank of the Yangtze River and on the shore of Poyang Lake. It is like an iron lock hanging in front of the gate of Hukou. It is known as the key to the river and lake. It has been a military fortress since ancient times.

"Okay, Shi Zhongshan will ask General Ma!"

Li Dingguo nodded and said, "Then Li Xin was too arrogant and eager to achieve success. He divided the 100,000 troops into three groups to attack Changsha, Nanchang and Jiujiang. If he joined forces to attack one place, it would be difficult to resist the enemy. However, he divided the troops into three places. As long as one place was defeated, it would affect the overall situation. This battle will be related to the life and death of our West. Even if he died in battle, he would not be able to take a step back.

General Feng, I will stay at the foot of Shizhong Mountain with you, and I must protect Shizhong Mountain. If you and I cooperate properly, it may not be impossible to defeat Li Xin!"

"Get orders!"

Ma Jinzhong and Feng Shuangli bowed heavily!

As the invading army advanced westward, Jiujiang was filled with tension, and the Ming army from all over the country was ready to move. They had sent people to find Huang Degong and Gao Yigong to express their intention of surrender. According to Li Xin's request, they mainly fostered the Ming army.

Nanchang was besieged by Gao Yigong and Li Shuangxi, Changsha was besieged by Huang Degong and Wu Changgong, and it was difficult to rescue Jiujiang. Zhang Xianzhong's situation in Sichuan was also very bad and he could not send more troops.
