As for Yuan Zongdi, he was much more relieved. Although this old brother was born in the 18th Shangluo cavalry, he was not at all domineering and arrogant, and belonged to the type of good old man.
Only by letting such generals lead troops to reinforce Bai Wang can Li Zicheng sleep soundly.
Of course, Li Zicheng would not do anything to Liu Zongmin, at least not at the moment.
As long as Liu Zongmin does not do anything out of order, he will not take the initiative to attack.
After all, he is now Emperor Dashun, and even if Liu Zongmin is dissatisfied, he will not be openly agitated.
What Li Zicheng had to beware of was that Liu Zongmin pulled out an army to work alone, just like Hao Yaoqi did back then.
Alas, he used to think it was too difficult to lead a rebel army, but now he finds it even more difficult to be an emperor.
"If Your Majesty is worried, should you transfer Hu Zi and the others back?"
Gao Guiying felt a little distressed when she saw Li Zicheng's face full of sorrow. Her bare hands gently stroked her husband's rough cheeks, and her eyes were full of warmth.
Li Zicheng coughed and said, "How can that work? Yulin is almost counting on Hu Zi and Yigong to guard it. Guanzhong has the right to stay in charge, so Jiexuan dare not do anything."
The Hu Zi and Yigong mentioned by Li Zicheng are the famous Li Guo and Gao Yigong in the Shun Army.
Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, nicknamed A Tiger. Because Li Zicheng has never had any children, Li Guo was trained as his successor.
Gao Yigong is Gao Guiying's younger brother. He is very brave and good at fighting and is deeply trusted by Li Zicheng.
Both of them were from the eighth team back then, and they were no worse than Liu Zongmin's qualifications. Therefore, Gao Guiying would propose to transfer the two back to Guanzhong to find everything.
However, Li Zicheng obviously has his own plans.
In his opinion, Shaanxi's overall defense is divided into two major parts.
One of them is the Guanzhong defense zone dominated by Tongguan, and the other is the Shaanxi defense zone dominated by Yulin.
In order to ensure absolute control of Shaanxi, there must be no problems in these two defense zones.
Judging from the current situation, the Qing court conquered the Mongolian tribes and it was entirely possible to launch an attack from northern Shaanxi.
If Yulin is defeated, Guanzhong will have almost no danger to defend. Therefore, Li Zicheng will allow Gao Yigong and Li Guo to lead an army of more than 100,000 to lead Yulin.
As for Liu Zongmin, Li Zicheng still doesn't want to give up easily. After all, it's an old brother who has been fighting hard for so many years. He doesn't want to be popular until now until he has no choice.
Li Zicheng plans to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Liu Zongmin after a while. If he can let go of his past grudges, it will be the best.
But it was also necessary to send Zhang Nai to monitor Liu Zongmin before. Now most of the Shun Army can still be retained, and Li Zicheng will never allow anyone to take his army away and work alone.
Even Liu Zongmin can do it.
"What about the Tartars? I heard that they had hoarded a lot of armored soldiers along Shanxi."
Although Gao Guiying is now the queen, she still cannot change her habit of discussing military affairs with Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng does not think there is anything wrong with this. After all, he and Gao Guiying have all said that after so many years, they have just been established. The Dashun Dynasty has not been established, and there is no rule that "the harem must not interfere in politics."
"Shanxi is the barrier of Shaanxi, and there are heavy troops left there. Even if the Tartars want to fight, they have to consider it." Although Li Zicheng said this, he obviously didn't have much confidence in his heart. He hugged Gao Guiying and said, "If it really doesn't work, I will send Fangliang to press the formation."
Liu Fangliang was also one of the eighteen cavalry of Shangluo. Unlike other rebel generals, Liu Fangliang was very steady in leading troops, but he was really fierce in fighting. He was a confidant general under Li Zicheng.
At the beginning, Shanhaiguan was covered with stones, and the Guanning army of Shunjun and Wu Sangui fought bloody battles. Seeing that Wu Sangui was about to be unable to support him, Shunjun was about to break through. At this time, the Tartars suddenly emerged and caught Shunjun off guard.
Everyone was stunned. There were voices shouting "The Tartars are here, run away!" everywhere in the army, and even Liu Zongmin and Li Zicd were a little confused.
At this time, Liu Fangliang stood up and led his subordinates to protect the main force of the Shun Army.
The most commendable thing is that Liu Fangliang fought and retreated, and the main force did not suffer much loss, which shows that he was calm and composed.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, I will follow you."
For some reason, Gao Guiying suddenly said this and leaned against Li Zicheng's broad chest.
Li Zicheng felt warm. Before the Battle of Tongguan, Gao Guiying comforted himself like this, saying that he would follow him to the death no matter how he was.
Later, the rebel army was defeated by the official army in the Battle of Tongguan, and he also got separated from the old camp. Gao Guiying and other relatives were missing. Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting sent people to search the mountains everywhere, hoping to capture Li Zicheng and capture Beijing. There were only eighteen cavalry left by Li Zicheng at one time, and he had to lie dormant in Shangluo Mountain.
But he never believed that Gao Guiying died just like this. While operating and developing in Shangluo, he sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of Gao Guiying and others. Finally, the two finally reunited.
After experiencing so many ups and downs, the emotions between him and Gao Guiying are beyond imagination.
That is a true feeling of hardship, supporting each other and working together.
"Gui Ying, don't worry, please make sure to drive away the Tartars and let us ordinary people live a good life."
Li Zicheng closed Gao Guiying's hair on his temples, and his eyes became extremely firm.

......
The carriage suddenly stopped. Wen Anzhi lifted the curtain and saw the towering walls of Nanjing.
Nandu, he finally arrived in Nandu!
His old bones almost broke up all the way. Fortunately, it finally arrived, and it was worth it.
Since the Chongzhen period, he retired as the Imperial College Supervisor, Wen Anzhi returned to his hometown in Yiling.
This lasted for ten years. During the past ten years, Emperor Lie had never summoned him. Wen Anzhi thought he would never have hope of reviving in his life, so he simply devoted his feelings to the mountains and rivers to entertain himself.
I never thought that the Jiashen Kingdom would change, break through the rebellion and break through the capital, and the emperor would hang himself to sacrifice his country, and the situation in the world would change drastically.
Just when Wen Anzhi was crying for the Lie Emperor, the Eastern Barbarians entered the pass and drove Li Zicheng away and entered Beijing.
Everyone in the world thought that the Donglu was just reinforcements invited by Wu Sangui, so they would voluntarily withdraw from the pass by Li Zicheng.
Who would have thought that the Donglu stayed in Shenjing with a stern face, appointed officials, and surrendered to Jifu.
Donglu wants to plot against Shenzhou!
Wen Anzhi was just as angry at this as the people in the world. He once wanted to organize soldiers to help the king in his hometown Yiling. At this time, a hero found him.
This hero is named Zhou Daoning, and he carries the imperial edict to be the son of today.
Wen Anzhi immediately knelt down on the ground and rushed to Nanjing to bow three times and nine times, and responded respectfully.
When Wen Anzhi learned that the Holy Emperor was about to regain his reign as the Left Minister of Rites, he burst into tears.
Ten years have passed, and the court finally remembered him.
He had no intention of resenting Emperor Lie, and he just hoped to come to Nanjing as soon as possible to do his best to the court.

Chapter completed!
