Chapter 348 Li Zicheng (2)
Of course Gao Yingxiang knew that Cao Cao's subordinates were not aimed at Li Guo's war horses. Li Guo's reaction was definitely fast, and he threw himself down first, and the arrow shot the war horses. If Li Guo's reaction was a little slower, his life would be over. Everyone in the rebel army knew that Li Guo was Li Zicheng's nephew. Shooting Li Guo was equivalent to provoking Li Zicheng directly. No wonder Gao Guiying wanted to find Cao Cao. She was more protective than Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng was wise and could swallow his anger and take the overall situation into consideration, but Gao Guiying couldn't bear this tone.
"Okay! I understand this. If you have the chance, I will talk to Cao Cao. Some of his subordinates are really unconventional." Gao Yingxiang frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end he only said a few words in the scene and sighed helplessly. These things are too complicated and he has no better way to deal with them.
"Cao Cao accepted a lot of official troops at Longmen Pass and Dagu Pass, and those who took action were those official troops. Those who snatched Xushui Town from us were also those official troops. I think Cao Cao was not in the same group as us, he was in the same group as the official troops!" Liu Zongmin said angrily.
"Forget it, Heizi, stop talking, it's useless to be punished. It's not good to hear it. If you really feel bored, find an opportunity to kill a few of them and leave them alone. Killing a few of them is more useful than saying ten thousand words." Li Zicheng shook his head and said coldly.
"Then it's decided. I'll find an opportunity to take action. Brother Chuangwang and Brother Hong pretend not to know. If they dare to attack Brother Li Guo directly, I also want to find someone with weight in their team! Don't think that our Chuangwang family is easy to bully! In addition to being able to sharpen your mouth, Cao Cao also knows nothing!" Liu Zongmin gritted his teeth and said with a gloomy face.
Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng pretended not to hear it.
The three people present knew very well that the family of King Chuang and Cao Cao had always been inconsistent with each other. In fact, the three most powerful families of the rebel army, King Chuang, Cao Cao and Zhang Xianzhong, were not very inconsistent with each other. The so-called "one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, let alone three tigers." In June, when everyone was besieged in the Chexiang Gorge, Cao Cao was besieged by each family and almost destroyed him. Because everyone suspected that the officers and soldiers were attracted by Cao Cao.
This time, Cao Cao sent a heroic post and invited everyone to Henan. King Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong were both worried. They were both worried about whether Cao Cao would set up any traps here. Therefore, Gao Yingxiang sent the most trustworthy Li Zicheng to come first, but he did not find any abnormalities. Gao Yingxiang finally arrived with a large army. As for Zhang Xianzhong, he could have arrived in Xingyang a long time ago, but he was worried about Cao Cao, so he kept procrastinating in Ruzhou.
"When was the party time proposed by Cao Cao?" Gao Yingxiang asked.
"The eighth day of the first lunar month next year." Li Zicheng replied.
Gao Yingxiang carefully estimated and asked slowly: "Is there any movement in the surrounding government troops? How many soldiers will be dispatched in Zhu Dadian, Shandong?"
Li Zicheng said cautiously: "According to the spies, Zhu Dadian concentrated his troops in Yanzhou Prefecture for about 50,000 or 60,000. In Fengyang Prefecture in Nanzhili, there were also officers and soldiers gathered, about 20,000 or 30,000. However, their mission should be to protect the Huangjue Temple of Monk Zhu, and would not come to Henan to fight us on his own initiative."
Gao Yingxiang nodded and said slowly: "Your analysis makes sense. The soldiers and horses in southern Zhili should not go north. However, we can no longer bear the tens of thousands of troops brought by Hong Laojiu. We should not underestimate Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng. I suffered from Sun Chuanting's losses, and Zhang Mazi seemed to have suffered from Lu Xiangsheng's losses. It seems that these two people are not easy to deal with."
Li Zicheng pondered and said, "I have some immature ideas. I will propose them at the conference. If everyone thinks it is OK, then we will implement the plan. If they think it is not OK, then we will act alone."
"Everyone is tired, go back and rest!" Gao Yingxiang suddenly said.
"Brother Chuangwang is also resting early, so let's say goodbye first." Understanding that Chuangwang was going to talk to Li Zicheng alone, Liu Zongmin and others said goodbye one after another.
In the tent, only Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng were left.
Gao Yingxiang stretched his waist vigorously, and then smiled bitterly. Due to the long-term battle between the north and the south and the south, his body was not very good. When he was in the car box gorge, he was hit hard by the rocks rolled down from it. Fortunately, the stone was only the size of a fist, otherwise, he, the King of Breaking, would have been reimbursed in the car box gorge. Afterwards, Gao Yingxiang's waist always hurt severely.
Li Zicheng said with concern: "Uncle, you haven't found a doctor along the way?"
Gao Yingxiang shook his head and said helplessly: "This person who rides a horse can't be cured even by a miracle doctor."
Li Zicheng wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Gao Yingxiang said casually: "Everyone can live up to your destiny, it's not good! Anyway, after I die, you will take the team with you, and I have nothing to worry about."
Li Zicheng said slowly: "I'm afraid Cao Cao and Zhang Xianzhong are unwilling."
Gao Yingxiang said disapprovingly: "I don't have a son. You are half of my son-in-law. If I don't hand over the team to you, who will I give it to? It's not their turn to gossip about our Chuangwang family. At worst, we won't participate in their affairs in the future. We will do it alone. This is a big world, and we can't go to where we can? As long as there are poor people, we can pull the team up!"
"Forget it, don't mess with these boring people. Third brother, what do you think about the current situation? Chen Qiyu is dead, we are relieved. The old boy's strategy of setting up a net in four directions and six corners and ten sides has really caused us a lot of losses. Fortunately, Chongzhen arrested him himself, which saved us a lot of trouble."
Li Zicheng sighed and said, "I'm afraid Hong Laojiu will continue to implement Chen Qiyu's strategy. Hong Laojiu is very sinister. He knows that Chen Qiyu's method is correct, but we just threw one in the car box gorge. If Hong Laojiu is replaced by Hong Laojiu, we will not be here."
Thinking of the danger in the car box gorge, Gao Yingxiang was also in lingering fear and said obscenely: "Yes! This Hong Laojiu is not easy to deal with! After he came to Shanxi, we couldn't stand in Shaanxi. Now, he followed Henan again, but I'm afraid the prospects are not very optimistic!"
Li Zicheng also said with emotion: "Yes! This year is not easy! I really didn't think I could get through it when I was in the car box gorge! Gu Junen's idea is quite useful!"
Gao Yingxiang nodded in agreement.
In the year that is about to pass, the development of the rebel army has not been smooth.
In the winter of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the peasant army broke through the encirclement of the official army and entered Henan. After capturing Nanyang, the rebel army divided the army, Lao Huihui and other five battalions attacked Huguang, Li Zicheng and others entered Hanzhong, and Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to Xinyang. In the first month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong went west to Shang and Luo areas. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong joined forces to capture Chengcheng and approached Pingliang and other prefectures and counties. On February 28, Zhang Xianzhong and other 13th battalions rebel army came from Shang, Henan, Luoxi and others to enter Hannan. In March, Lao Huihui and other troops also returned from Sichuan to Shaanxi, and the peasant rebel army joined forces to form a powerful force.
On the fifth day of the second month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the peasant army captured Xingshan and killed the magistrate Liu Dingguo. On the fifteenth day of the fifteenth day of the year of the year of the fourteenth day of the year, they captured Kuizhou Prefecture (now Wanyuan, Xuanhan, Daxian, the area east of Liangping and Jianshi County, Hubei), and besieged Taiping. Because the chieftain Qin Liangyu led his army to block the path of the peasant army's advance, in March of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the old Hui and Hui and other camps of rebels who entered Sichuan entered Qinzhou from Yangping Pass (now northwest of Ningqiang County, Shaanxi Province) and returned to Shaanxi.
However, extreme happiness leads to sorrow.
While the rebel army was in high spirits, Chen Qiyu's big net had fallen quietly.
In June of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Governor Chen Qiyu and Yunyang Furu Lu Xiangsheng joined forces in Shangjin. At that time, most of the peasant army troops entered Hannan. Chen Qiyu led his army westward to meet with the four governors in Shaanxi, Yunyang, Huguang and Henan to encircle and suppress the peasant army in Hannan. The peasant army Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng and other troops met with four Ming troops and mistakenly walked into Xing'an (now the Han River Basin east of Shiquan, Shaanxi Province). There was an ancient plank road in the canyon, with mountains on all sides steep, easy to enter and difficult to exit. It was raining for 20 years, and the trapped peasant army and horses were exhausted. Li Zicheng used Gu Jun's kindness to plan to surrender and lured Qiyu and his generals with a treasure. Qiyu Xu. In July, the rebel army escaped from the carbox gorge.
After Li Zicheng used a trick to get out of the car box gorge, he killed all the appeasers, walked to the west, broke into Longzhou, and advanced to Fengxiang, Baoji, Jingyang, and Liquan. Tens of thousands of peasant troops in Luoyang came to meet, and Guanzhong was shaking. Qi Yu sent general He Renlong to attack him. On the 19th day of the leap month, Zicheng surrounded He Renlong in Longzhou (now Long County, Shaanxi). He Renlong, a native of Mizhi, Shaanxi, was first subordinate to Hong Chengchou, and later followed Qi Yu. Zicheng used Renlong as a fellow villager, so he sent a letter to ask Renlong to surrender. Renlong refused and defended Longzhou for two months. Governor Hong Chengchou issued an order to support Zuo Guang first to support Longzhou. Li Zichengcai led his army to rescue him.
Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen gathered with peasant troops in Shaanxi and ordered Henan troops to enter Tong, Hua, Sichuan troops from Xing, Han, Shanxi troops to go out of Puzhou, Hancheng, Huguang troops to Shang and Luo to jointly suppress peasant troops. On October 27, the seventh year of Chongzhen, Huguang troops aided Hanzhong and were defeated by peasant troops. Deputy General Yang Zhengfang and general Zhang Shida were killed in battle.
After Chen Qiyu was arrested, Hong Chengchou was appointed as the Minister of War and took charge of military affairs in Shaanxi, Jin, Chu, Henan and Sichuan provinces, and prepared to encircle and suppress the peasant army on a larger scale. He was a little afraid of Hong Laojiu and all the generals of the uprising army. Cao Cao summoned all the heads of the uprising army this time and gathered in Xingyang, Henan to discuss how to deal with Hong Chengchou.
Among the generals of the rebel army, the cunning person was Cao Cao. He was also the one with the most strategic vision. If there was no major conflict of interest, the leaders of each rebel army were willing to listen to Cao Cao's suggestions. However, Cao Cao had obvious advantages and disadvantages. Although he had vision, he could not manage the army. The combat effectiveness of the troops under his command was always inferior to King Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong. If it were to buy and win over, King Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong were not as good as Cao Cao. However, if it was a real war, Cao Cao was completely defeated.
Gao Yingxiang was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "By the way, third brother, have you heard that Nanjing City was bombarded."
Li Zicheng was slightly shocked and asked in a lost voice: "Nanjing City was bombarded? Who did it?"
Gao Yingxiang said: "It seems to be a family in Shandong, named Zhang Zhun."
Li Zicheng's eyes suddenly shined and he said excitedly: "There is chaos in Shandong too? OK! OK! OK!"
He stood up suddenly and said sternly: "If Shandong is in chaos, Zhu Dadian will definitely not be able to attack with all his strength, so we will have a chance."
Gao Yingxiang said, "I heard it too, and I don't know what's going on. Zhang Zhun has never heard of his name before, and it seems to be suddenly popping up. On the ground in Shandong, isn't Wang Yilun and Xu Qingluan from the Scented Sect fighting me, will I fight you? When is there another Zhang Zhun?"
Li Zicheng said disdainfully: "Wang Yilun and Xu Qingluan are so choking that they can't kill each other. Smelling the incense will not make a big deal! But this Zhang Zhun... dares to bombard Nanjing City. He is really brave! I said, uncle, are we a little behind? Do we also need to make some big moves?"
Gao Yingxiang said, "What's wrong? Should we go and bombard Beijing?"
Li Zicheng said coldly: "If you have the chance, we can go to Fengyang Mansion to make a fuss! Didn't Monk Zhu make his fortune there? Let's burn the Huangjue Temple with a fire! Destroy the dragon veins of his Zhu family!"
Gao Yingxiang thought and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with it."
Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and said with a bright look: "Uncle, I want to send someone to contact Zhang Zhun and touch his background. What do you think?"
Gao Yingxiang nodded and said, "Okay, let's see if he is in the same group as us."
Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Uncle, you are tired too, I have arranged a place for you. When we passed by Gong County, we caught the two wives and girls of the county magistrate, the old and young, both tender and obedient. The girl happened to be fifteen years old and was still a daughter. Guiying had already checked her and had a clean body. The two wives were also in their twenties and could have children. They were originally going to use it for me, but I said I would keep it for my uncle, just in the tent next to me."
Gao Yingxiang shook his head and said, "Third brother, you have no future when you do this all day long."
Li Zicheng said disapprovingly: "Uncle, our aunt died early. You are always alone and don't even have a warm bed at night. When there is anything, you can't rely on your hands! Uncle, you saved their three mothers and daughters. If you don't want it, you will ruin the little girl. With his attitude, he must kill the little girl on the spot. Heizi's thing is longer than a dog, just like a hammer, and he rushes in. Which yellow girl can bear it? This is your first time to come to Henan and borrow that girl to see Hong. I wish us a good omen next year."
Gao Yingxiang shook his head, said nothing, and went there by himself.
Of course, he was relieved to be a woman prepared by Li Zicheng. Instead of leaving it to Liu Zongmin, it would be better to be cheaper for himself. He came from Shaanxi along the way, and he hadn't been close to women for a long time. This son-in-law was still caring and knew that his back pain was so he left three for himself. When deflowering the little girl, someone could push it in without having to work hard. If he had a short time and the team was handed over to his hands, he would be relieved. Speaking of which, he hadn't deflowered those officials for a long time, so he had to enjoy it tonight.
Sure enough, shortly after Gao Yingxiang entered the tent next to him, Li Zicheng heard the little girl's painful moan. It seemed that his uncle had already gotten on his horse and fell to the red. Originally, the little girl should have benefited herself, but now she was broken by her uncle. Li Zicheng couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It seems that he would still have to work alone in the future and try to catch more prey.
Li Zicheng immediately shouted: "Gu Jun'er!"
General Gu Junen hurried in.
Chapter completed!
