Chapter 602 Huang Liang's Dream
A head.
The bloody head is a brain, and it’s clearly just money!
Sometimes the simplest and crudest method is often the most effective method. Faced with tens of thousands of taels of silver, anyone will be tempted. Even if few people have touched the silver yet, the money is already in Shunjun.
It set off an unprecedented wave. Not only did some of his subordinates cut off the general's head to receive the reward, but it also caused many civil strife among the bandits.
Even Li Zicheng was injured during the civil strife. His injury was not serious. It was just that when the civil strife broke out, his horse stumbled and fell off the horse. After two days of treatment, his injury has begun to improve. But he cannot ride a horse.
Of course, there was no sedan for him to sit on at this time, so the soldiers tied an arm chair to two poles and carried it like a sedan by four people. There was also a canopy tied with yellow satin on the arm chair. Since it represented his
The status of an emperor can also obscure the sun.
While being carried away like this, Li Zicheng, who was sitting on the sedan chair, could still clearly see the situation of the marching troops.
However, the more I looked at him, the more irritated I became, especially when I thought about the civil strife two days ago. Although it was said to be civil strife, it was actually caused by the army. Because of the silver reward, even the close soldiers did not believe it.
, which triggered a series of chaos. Whether the rebel soldiers were forced to commit chaos, or whether they wanted to exchange the general's head for a reward, I am afraid only God knows.
But what is certain is that with the silver reward around, no one can sleep well!
While resting in the Guandi Temple on the mountainside, Li Zicheng was always worried about his doubts. Firstly, he was worried that the enemy would continue to pursue him, and secondly, he was worried that there would be insurrectionary soldiers causing trouble.
Now he was defeated in Baoding. Although he entered the Taihang Mountains, his morale was almost gone after being chased and beaten like this. He fled to Shanxi in a hurry. There were also Ming troops in Shanxi. If he, Jiang Yu, surrendered to the Ming Dynasty,
When the time comes, the consequences will be disastrous.
But since the man named Jiang could surrender to him, Li Zicheng could naturally surrender to the Ming Dynasty. This guy from Bajiu could do it.
Thinking this way, his heart became very heavy. His troops had suffered heavy losses in the battles in recent days, although some of them were still stationed from Zhending southward to northern Henan, and Li Guo's side of the capital
There are still nearly 100,000 troops, plus Chen Yongfu's tens of thousands of troops in Shanxi, as well as troops in Shaanxi, Henan and other places, there are almost more than 300,000 troops, but he still has no confidence in his heart. After all, in
The battle in Baoding has proved that just having people is definitely not enough.
But I can't worry about that much right now. After all, I'm not out of danger yet.
"What should we do next? Zhou Yuji has entered Shanxi a long time ago. Maybe the situation in Taiyuan is not good now. If he enters Shanxi and Taiyuan falls, wouldn't it mean that there are tigers in front and wolves behind? What should we do then?
"
At this moment, he suddenly received an urgent report, saying that the Ming Dynasty's pursuers already had a group of troops and were heading this way. Of course, Li Zicheng, who knew that his morale was low, knew that he could not fight at the moment, so he had to rush his guards.
The soldiers speeded up and headed towards Dai County. However, reports came one after another, indicating that the army was pursuing very urgently. He immediately ordered Wu Ruyi to lead some people and horses to break up the rear. Wu Ruyi led more than a thousand people to the rear to resist the pursuit.
Soldiers, but before the men and horses were deployed at the mountain crossing, someone suddenly started running away, shouting:
"The officers and soldiers are coming! The officers and soldiers are coming!"
So many people ran away, and of course some people took advantage of the chaos to cut off the officials' heads and hid them in the mountains and forests, just waiting to ask for rewards from the officers and soldiers.
"Kill, kill anyone who dares to escape, kill anyone who dares to cause trouble, if one person escapes, kill the whole team, if one person rebels, kill the whole team!"
Li Zicheng, who was furious and angry, said fiercely, and ordered the people carrying the chairs to stop, and ordered to cut down more than a dozen escaping soldiers. Only then did the soldiers finally calm down a little, and then continued on their way. Unexpectedly, they had not gone far, and another soldier came behind them.
There was chaos, and everyone shouted, "The officers and soldiers are coming soon." For a while, the team that had finally been organized became scattered again.
Li Zicheng, who had never suffered such a defeat before, faced such low morale, had no choice but to urge his pro-army troops to speed up their march to Dai County.
On the way to Dai County, there was another thing that surprised and even horrified Li Zicheng!
He never thought that the people today would be so opposed to him. The people would not only burn down their own houses, but also fill up the wells. Even before they arrived in Dai County, he learned that Shanxi, Henan and even Shaanxi and other places had already
Revolts are spreading everywhere and are almost out of control.
Faced with such news, Li Zicheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"Is my fortune really going to end?"
It was only then that he finally figured out one thing.
After so many years of rebellion, Chongzhen has never been his real opponent, even when he almost died in Chongzhen's hands. He was not his real opponent.
Who is the real opponent?
It's that Zhu Ciying who is eyeing her with eager eyes!
Even that kid has been watching him eagerly, and Chongzhen is just a wounded tiger that is about to die. Even if it is a sick tiger, his fucking head is papery, and he will be killed with just a few heavy punches.
, not even the strength to counterattack.
But despite all the calculations, another thing was missed: behind this half-dead paper tiger, there is a real tiger, that is the real Liaodong Tiger!
In the past, he didn't escape because Chongzhen tied it with a tiger chain. Now it's better, I beat Chongzhen to death with three strokes, five divided by two, and the tiger didn't have an iron chain to tie it up, so it jumped out all of a sudden, ferocious
It was simply beyond his imagination.
If he had known that this tiger was so powerful, Li Zicheng would not have marched eastward or reached the capital and forced Chongzhen to death. Even if he had brought hundreds of thousands more horses as backup when he led his troops to the capital, so what?
Sample?
After thinking about this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but regret.
Thinking of this, he also became dissatisfied with Song Xiance, Sun Kewei and others.
"Why didn't any of you foresee the current situation in advance?"
"Why didn't any of you mention that kid before?"
It seems that Song Xiance and Sun Kewei also mentioned the matter of the Pinglu Army and Zhu Ciying, but they didn't mention it very seriously. They even thought that it would be enough to bring more troops and horses.
As for Li Zicheng himself, he never took it seriously. He had brought so many extra soldiers and horses, so there were still so many things to worry about?
Considering that the Pinglu army was so fierce, and that when Chongzhen was about to die, he passed the throne to Zhu Ciying, and now Zhu Ciying can command the world righteously, his strength has suddenly expanded so much.
What’s the next step?
If Zhu Ciying presses harder and harder, even if she escapes to Shaanxi, will she still be able to defend Guanzhong?
While he was worried, a premonition of national subjugation came to Li Zicheng's mind. Another thought even came to his mind. Could it be that the world I worked so hard to conquer was actually a wedding dress for that kid?
For a moment, Li Zicheng was stunned.
He found that he seemed to have really become the most virtuous person in the Ming Dynasty, but that was not the case. If he had not conquered the capital, would Chongzhen have been hanged from a crooked neck tree?
If he hadn't been hanged on a crooked neck tree, how could he have passed the throne to that boy? How could that boy have commanded the world in the name of supervising the country?
It’s over!
This is really a waste of water, just making a wedding dress for that kid in vain.
At this moment, Li Zicheng felt so miserable. He never imagined that after so many years of military service, he would end up like this. He originally dreamed of establishing a 400-year empire for the Li family.
But now I haven't even been able to hold on for a few months. I have been working hard for a long time to win this country for others. All the hard work is to make a wedding dress for others.
Then who do you think you are?
Li Zicheng's heart was full of mixed emotions. He never dreamed that he would end up like this. After all, in his dreams in the past, he was dreaming of becoming an emperor. Now this dream has come true.
But looking at it this way is nothing more than a dream.
When Li Zicheng's heart became more and more bitter, someone suddenly reported there.
