Speaking of this, Song Xiance walked to the hanging map, pointed to the eastern part of Henan and said: "This is the Yellow River flood area, so I conclude that Sun Chuanting must push south here. In this way..."
Hearing that what he said was reasonable, Gao Yigong couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean by the military advisor, is we the first to bear the brunt of the encounter with the imperial officers and soldiers?"
Song Xiance nodded when he heard this and said seriously: "Jiangnan is an important tax-paying area for the imperial court, so it is obviously a place that must be rescued. And Fengyang is where the imperial mausoleum is located. We happened to be on the road of the imperial army's southward rescue, so the encounter is obvious.
Here, I have two countermeasures!"
When Li Zicheng heard this, he quickly asked: "What two?"
"The current situation is not conducive for us to fight a decisive battle with the imperial army, so we should take action!" Song Xiance said, pointing to the map and said, "The first countermeasure is to pass between the two armies of the imperial army.
Cross over, go north through the Yellow River flood area, and jump to the north of the imperial army."
When Li Zicheng heard this, he frowned. It was obvious that he didn't want to go through the Yellow River flood area, so he immediately asked: "What about the second way?"
After hearing this, Song Xiance pointed at the map again, this time a little wider, and replied to Li Zicheng: "The second way is for us to set off to the west immediately. It is best to capture Xiangyang, and then we will see the situation. Either go north to Henan, or go north to Henan, or go west.
You can go further west to Shu, and you can also sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight..."
"Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" Luo Ru just heard this and couldn't help but interjected and asked, "What tiger?"
After hearing this, Song Xiance turned to look at him and said confidently: "The eight kings captured Wuchang, killed the King of Chu, and established the Daxi Kingdom. His behavior will never be allowed by the imperial court. Since we have not blocked the imperial army,
On the way, the first people that the imperial army must encircle and suppress must be the Eight Kings. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is to watch them fight on both sides, and then we will choose the opportunity to act!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" After hearing this, Li Zicheng finally showed a happy expression and said, "As expected of my good military advisor, let's do it like this!"
Niu Jinxing felt a little jealous when he heard this, so he quickly followed suit and expressed himself: "Build walls high, store up food widely, and be king slowly are the wise sayings. The eight kings are so eager to become kings. If they want to be in the limelight, they must do it themselves."
Asking for trouble!"
When Li Zicheng heard this, he opened his mouth and wanted to laugh. However, he immediately thought of something, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
When Niu Jinxing saw it, he immediately came to his senses. He had made a mistake, so he immediately shut up and said no more.
Various reports from the previous sentry detectives said that the reason why the imperial officers and soldiers changed drastically was because Emperor Taizu had manifested his spirit.
Indeed, in just one year, the imperial army could actually defeat Jianlu, which they had never defeated before, and it was such a great victory. Ten thousand of them couldn't believe it. But what if it was Emperor Taizu who really showed up?
I remember that Taizu almost starved to death, but he even expelled the Tartars and established the Ming Dynasty. In this situation now, if he shows up, he can still turn things around even if he doesn't use immortal methods, right?
No, the strategy of building high walls, hoarding grain, and slowing down to claim the throne is just Taizu’s good strategy! If he said it accidentally, it would make people think of Emperor Taizu!
As a Chinese, there should not be too many stories and legends about ancestors' apparitions, dreams, etc. Emperor Taizu gave guidance to the current emperor, so that the situation in the court has changed so much that everything seems to be reasonable!
It can be said that the appearance of Emperor Taizu is a big mountain that weighs on the hearts of all thieves. Even Li Zicheng, no matter how unconvinced he is, would not dare to shout that he is more powerful than Emperor Taizu!
Therefore, unanimously, no one dared to mention this matter or the name Emperor Taizu.
At this time, Niu Jinxing accidentally said that famous saying, which immediately reminded people of Emperor Taizu. Suddenly, the hall became quiet.
In the end, it was Song Xiance who spoke first and said to Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai who were sitting in the main seats: "How to make a decision, please let me know from the general!"
"Then go west and capture Xiangyang and then look at the situation!" Li Zicheng heard this and replied immediately. Then he seemed to think of something and asked Luo Rucai, "What do you think?"
"I have no objection!" Luo Rucai listened, nodded in reply, and then said, "But the court has changed so much, I think it's better to send someone to inform the eight kings!"
Among all the bandits, Luo Rucai was the most humane and had a good relationship with every bandit. Including Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they were all the same.
At this time, he obviously also wanted to sell Zhang Xianzhong a favor.
But in fact, as the thieves were eliminated, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng finally stood out. Luo Rucai's gangster methods were actually not very useful anymore. He vaguely felt that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were domineering for power, so he left Zhang Xianzhong and joined Li Zicheng
.And during the time he was getting along with Li Zicheng, he still wanted to show his favor to Zhang Xianzhong because he felt uncomfortable.
However, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were no longer dealing with each other at this time. Previously, Li Zicheng even wanted to deal with Zhang Xianzhong. However, Zhang Xianzhong saw the opportunity quickly and ran away first.
If it were the original history, at the end of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, after Li Zicheng captured Xiangyang, Zhang Xianzhong was so frightened that he hurried away. This shows how good their relationship was!
Now that Luo Rucai said that he was going to inform Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng was immediately unhappy. For him, wouldn't it be best to let the imperial officers and soldiers and the eight kings go dog-eat-dog? He also calls himself King of the West, so let him be majestic.
!
With this thought in his mind, Li Zicheng's face darkened and he said: "You don't need to bother, won't they ask about it themselves? Such a big thing will spread all over the world sooner or later!"
"No!" After hearing this, Luo Ru explained, "If we had informed him earlier, we would have allowed him to respond in time and avoid some accidents!"
"Haha!" When Li Zicheng heard this, he sneered, "He is the King of the West now, and he is very powerful. Aren't you afraid of asking for trouble by sticking your hot face to your cold butt?"
When Luo Rucai heard this, he felt it was harsh and said unhappily: "What you said is a bit weird. After all, we are all rebels. Isn't it normal to give him some reminders?"
"Then why did you come to me?" Li Zicheng heard this and sneered, "Don't you have a good relationship?"
"You..." When Luo Rucai heard this, he was so angry that he was speechless.
Li Zicheng's words touched his sore spot a bit.
In these days of rebellion, the greater the power, the harder it becomes. It is not as good as when we were hiding in Tibet and running around!
The people below saw that the two of them were at loggerheads, so they all tried to persuade them to make peace. Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai were still in a cooperative relationship, and they didn't want to get too serious, so they took advantage of the situation and took a step back.
The final result of the meeting's deliberations was just as Song Xiance said, the army marched westward, let the imperial officers and soldiers go south, hid in the west, and sat on the mountain to watch the tigers fight.
After the meeting, the bandit leaders all returned to their camps, received orders, packed up their things, and prepared to head west.
Among them, Lady Hong followed Li Yan into her tent and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you?"
"Haha, it's nothing. It's just that the New Year is coming soon and we have to rush on the road. We won't be able to celebrate the New Year well this year!" After hearing this, Li Yan immediately replied with a smile.
As Li Yan's bedfellow, how could the red lady not see that Li Yan was interested, so she dismissed her personal guards and asked Li Yan, "Do you not want to go to the west?"
Hearing this, Li Yan sighed and stopped smiling. He looked at his confidante and whispered: "The general and Cao Cao are very different from each other. Once the pressure is too great, I'm afraid something big will happen!"
"
If everything goes well, then you may be happy and so will I. However, if things do not go well, many small conflicts may turn into big ones. Even if there are no conflicts, there will be conflicts.
After hearing this, the red lady didn't say anything when she saw Li Yan saying worriedly: "You have also seen that the general does not listen to advice at all now. He feels that the people's support is useless and wants to follow their old path. As everyone knows, he will be a thief all his life.
, How can the world's heroes return home? The future ending is really worrying! And..."
Having said this, he suddenly sighed and stopped talking.
After hearing this, the red lady stepped forward, held Li Yan's hands, and said with an expression: "I don't care about anything else. Anyway, wherever your husband goes, I will follow you there!"
After hearing this, Li Yan showed gratitude and joy in his eyes. He also squeezed the red lady's hands and said, "To be honest, madam, I regret it a little!"
At this point, he didn't wait for the red lady to speak, and explained himself: "Although the general respects me on the surface, in fact they are still a group of old brothers, and they are vaguely rejecting me. I can feel it. There is also Niu Jinxing,
I don’t want to see me being favored by the general, and he talks about me in front of the general from time to time. I didn’t see any hope before, so I just followed the general, so I just followed. But...but..."
When he said this, seeing the tenderness in the red lady's eyes when she looked at him, without any trace of blame or surprise, Li Yan mustered up the courage to continue: "Now that Emperor Taizu has appeared, today the emperor is working hard and making a difference, but if he doesn't, he will
Already, with a sudden surprise, the army of more than 100,000 rebels was wiped out. As a result, Liaodong is unlikely to be able to enter the customs for at least a few years, and the court can concentrate all its efforts on quelling the rebellion. If it wants to rebel again, it will probably be more difficult than before.
Already."
"Of course, I'm not saying that we can't share the joys and sorrows with them, but we really have different ideas on many things. The excavation of the Yellow River dam has been done, which is really hard for me to accept. I advise them to put people's hearts first, although it will be more difficult.
But the harvest will be great. But they only care about immediate interests and don't listen to me, which makes me a little discouraged. Also, if my prediction is correct, that Yuan Shizhong was knighted, this is worth a thousand gold and horse bones. It can be seen that today's emperor wants to
