At first glance, Wan Yuanji, who represented Yang Sichang, was of course unwilling and did not dare to accept the conditions offered by Shen Shuren.
However, I don’t know what truth Shen Shuren told him and how he analyzed the power. In short, after some operations that were unbelievable to outsiders, Wan Yuanji still took Shen Shuren’s reply to Nanyang and met with Yang Sichang to return to his life.
Shen Shuren himself would not go to Nanyang. Now Nanyang is where Zuo Liangyu's army is stationed. He and Zuo Liangyu have become incompetent. And Yang Sichang is old and seriously ill. Who knows when he will be stimulated again.
Pass away and live forever.
If after Chen Shuren leaves, Zuo Liangyu feels that the court can no longer control him and wants to attack Chen Shuren to the death, then Chen Shuren will suffer a big loss.
The situation in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen was very different from that in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen. Last year, Zuo Liangyu was caught by the imperial decree and had to surrender and move to the town. This year, after Hong Chengchou was overthrown, Zuo Liangyu's courage could at least change.
Several percent larger.
Seeing Wan Yuanji's return, Yang Sichang also braced himself for his illness and listened to his report: "When will Chen Shuren send troops to go north?"
Wan Yuanji sighed with a bitter face: "Mr. Ge, Shen Shuren asked you to give him two or three months to rest and gather his troops. He also told the truth. In fact, some of the elite Huangzhou Army were transferred to the newly established army by him at the beginning of the year.
The Nanjing Ministry of Household Canal Protection Camp was established as the basic backbone of the new army.
Zhang Mingzhen and Zheng Chenggong fought a series of bloody battles with the Tatars in Liaodong, resulting in many wounded soldiers. Some of Hong Chengchou's old troops who were rescued by sea were also injured and were in urgent need of rest and recuperation.
However, he said that there is no need to rush into the battle with Li Zicheng. Don't look at the fact that Li Zicheng just killed Governor Wang Qionian last month. It is precisely because he will need to reorganize after the war. Moreover, after killing Luo Rucai, Ma Shouying reorganized the internal affairs and punished the hoe.
Dissidents also need time. Li Zicheng will not make any big moves for the time being——
Shen Futai also said that not only was it delayed by three months from the fall of Fu Zonglong to the fall of Wang Qiaonian, but it is estimated that it will be delayed by three months this time, or at least two months."
After Yang Sichang heard this, his first reaction was to be very angry, even a little angry.
Shen Shuren was promoted by him all the way. Every time he made meritorious deeds, he tried to find a way to get a promotion and reward. This time, he was pressed by His Majesty. Why didn't he come to share the worries immediately?
Could it be that he is also slowly turning into a liangyu?
"Hu Tu! Didn't you tell him that just because Li Zicheng has just annexed the Luo and Ma tribes, and now he is unable to use his arms and fingers for a while, there may be some generals who miss their old master and can be instigated by us to rebel.
If we don’t take the initiative to attack Li Zicheng at this time, why don’t we wait until two months later when he completely clears out his internal affairs and punishes all dissenters before we send troops to conquer him?” As Yang Sichang spoke, he couldn’t help but cough violently. People who don’t know the truth may think that
He could cough up his lungs.
Wan Yuanji was heartbroken when he heard this. Knowing that Mr. Ge's health was deteriorating, he quickly patted his back and handed him the medicine. He waited for Yang Sichang to feel better and explained:
"Isn't what Mr. Ge said unreasonable? In fact, the student told Shen Futai the same thing, but he advised us not to be impatient, haste makes waste, and should not forget the original intention and insist on 'Four righteousness and six corners, ten sides of the net'
'The plan is to wait for Li Zicheng to slowly wear out and weaken."
Yang Sichang was a little surprised when he heard that Shen Shuren actually quoted the strategy he proposed back then and used his own methods to retaliate against others, and he was embarrassed to be angry.
After all, they respect him and implement his consistent strategic thinking.
Yang Sichang held his breath, coughed and sighed for a long time: "One moment after another, Li Zicheng's strength has skyrocketed. The longer he waits, the better his internal integration becomes. Obviously he is getting stronger the longer he waits, so how can he still get weaker the longer he waits?
"
When Wan Yuanji heard Yang Sichang's question, he showed a look of leisurely admiration, but the direction of his eyes was not towards Yang Sichang. It was a kind of leisurely and distracted admiration for a person from afar.
"The students said the same thing, but Shen Futai said, let the students calm down and come back and take a good look at Zhuge Liang's "The Model of the Master".
'Since I arrived in Hanzhong, I have been dead for a few years, but I lost Zhao Yun...Deng Tong and others, as well as Qu Chang, gathered more than 70 generals, and the sudden generals were unprecedented...More than a thousand armed cavalry. This has lasted for several decades.
The elites from all four directions gathered within are not owned by one state. If it takes several years, two-thirds of them will be lost. Why should we seek to attack the enemy? This minister has five unsolved problems.'
With Zhuge Kongming's wisdom, why did he think that "if we don't defeat the thieves, the king's career will also perish"? It is because of the above paragraph that Zhuge Liang knew that the generals and elite soldiers Liu Bei left him could not be produced in Yizhou alone.
It was the accumulation of Liu Bei's decades of traveling around the world, including Yuan Cong from the north and scholars from Jingxiang and Xiang. When Ji Han only had one state in Yizhou, he would rely on local talents to make up for the needs of the Northern Expedition, and he would only gradually run out of money.
, gradually withered.
Shen Futai told me that although Li Zicheng was temporarily prosperous today, thanks to the killing of Luo Rucai, Ma Shouying annexed his troops, his decline from prosperity has laid the foundation for disaster. If it continues in the future, his military strength will only become more and more difficult.
The less, the reason is the same as Zhuge Liang’s dilemma after entering Shu.”
When Yang Sichang heard this, his eyes finally flashed with light, as if the clouds had been turned aside to reveal the sun. Although he was old, he still had experience and experience. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately grasped the essence of Shen Shuren's thoughts: "What he means is..."
Wan Yuanji didn't give in, and directly relayed the answer: "Shen Futai said that the people Li Zicheng was able to annex today were those he and the bandits from all walks of life traveled through Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan, Sichuan, Hubei, Anhui, and Jin, and it took many years to gather them together.
Although it is said that there are more than 300,000 troops, it is not possible to support and coerce the army in Henan. And from the moment he killed Luo Rucai, he was destined to be jealous of his subordinates, and there will be no colleagues in the future. It is impossible for him to reorganize the army into
Zero went out and Dequan fled everywhere.
This force of 300,000 people can only have one goal and one leader. They can follow him, Li Zichen, and cannot leave too far to establish their own base. In the past, the thieves could support so many soldiers, and there was a steady stream of thieves.
The only thing is to break it into parts and suck blood from many provinces.
Once they are twisted together, they will eventually decline! Just like Zhuge Liang hiding in Yizhou, even with Zhuge's talent, let alone a thief."
Yang Sichang thought about it for a while and was completely convinced by this insight. It was not that Shen Shuren was good at deception, but that his words did make sense.
Rogue thieves have no economic system and rely on robbery. Therefore, if they are divided into parts and suck blood from multiple provinces, they can still maintain the economic cycle and fight for support.
After joining forces, the military became stronger, but the economy became weaker. The sustainability of the economy was greatly damaged. Can he afford to support so many troops over time?
And the thieves cannot come up with a set of new policies for economic construction, changing from robbery to long-term tax collection. If this transformation cannot be completed, they will eventually self-destruct.
Shen Shuren was so sure, of course, because he knew that Li Zicheng would eventually self-destruct in history, and that he would not be able to establish a base area or establish an effective economic self-sufficiency internal circulation system.
Not every piece of land can bring in as much money as the city of Beijing.
In the end, Li Zicheng will be like a virus strain that jumps into a petri dish. It starts to multiply wildly, consumes all the protein in the agar block, and then devours itself and eventually becomes extinct.
Just don't let him break the petri dish and jump into another petri dish.
Wan Yuanji saw that Yang Sichang also understood Shen Shuren's theory, so he carefully added: "For this last point, Shen Futai secretly wrote you a secret letter to analyze the key points.
He also said that if necessary, the elder could use this reasoning, add or delete as appropriate, and advise His Majesty so that His Majesty would not push too hard in the battle to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng. After all, even if he immediately went north for reinforcements, if Li Zicheng was unwilling for the time being,
Going to war will only lead to the exhaustion of our military division veterans.
As soon as Li Zicheng killed Wang Qiaonian, he would definitely seize Wang Qiaonian's military rations. He would grab something more or less, which should be enough for Li Zicheng's army to eat for a while. He won't be in a hurry recently.
Finally, Shen Futai has one more condition, which I hope you will agree to."
Yang Sichang frowned: "Say."
Wan Yuanji carefully relayed: "Shen Futai said that his jurisdiction was originally in Huguang and Yinghuo Mountain. It was said that as long as Li Zicheng did not go south, he would stay at the place and just ensure that Zhang Xianzhong was blocked.
Now that the troops besieging Zhang Xianzhong had to be mobilized to go north, he did not dare to disobey. But he knew that the court now had a bad practice: bully the courtiers who were easy to bully, and use them to death if they worked for the court. He did not want to be like Hong Chengchou
Just like that, they were consumed by the chaos of the imperial court.
Therefore, when it comes to dispatching troops and horses to surround Zhang Xianzhong and go north, they should be treated equally. He and Governor Fang should send as many troops as Sichuan sends. Otherwise, it will be a situation where whoever is anxious for justice will die of exhaustion first."
After Yang Sichang heard this, he was quite unhappy, but after calming down, he also knew not to bully honest people.
Chongzhen really bullied honest people too much in employing people, and he wanted to take advantage of each other. Shen Shuren wanted to compete with Sichuan, but he just didn't want his own small group's interests to suffer additional losses.
Yang Sichang finally made the decision: "That's it. I agreed to all these conditions. Three months is too long. Give him two months. After two months, the army must set off north to help me find Li Zicheng in the battle. Let's count him on the march."
The time is two and a half months at the latest - even if it's June 20th, you have to go to Nanyang or Xinyang to get it all.
He said that the scale of the troops should be the same as that of Sichuan, and he agreed on this point. When the time came, he asked Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, to send 30,000 troops from Hanzhong to Shaanxi to supplement the troops of Sun Chuanting, who had just arrived.
The Shaanxi official army was killed twice by Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian, and both suffered losses. Without the help of the Sichuan army, Sun Chuanting would have been alone when he took office.
Shao Jiechun is willing to send out 30,000 people, but Chen Shuren must also send out at least 30,000 people? More, not less!"
Wan Yuanji finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally added uneasily: "Mr. Ge, there is another suggestion, which was also made by Shen Futai. The students don't know whether to take it seriously or not..."
Yang Sichang: "I have said so many things about having no king and no father, but these few words are still missing? But there is no harm in saying it!"
Wan Yuanji then whispered in his ear: "Shen Futai said that he delayed the news of going north. I hope you can hide it from the generals and staff around you, and only tell the outside world that Shen Futai's main force has been ordered to be transferred to Xinyang.
Liu Guoneng has joined forces and can attack Li Zicheng's troops in Henan at any time."
Yang Sichang looked a little ugly: "What does he mean by this? He even wants to hide it from his own people?"
Wan Yuanji sighed: "Shen Futai feels that someone around you must have been bribed by Zhang Xianzhong - you must have felt it yourself. Last year, Zhang Xianzhong dared to attack Xiangyang, which was exactly the time when you sent troops north and Xiangyang was empty.
If Shen Futai hadn't returned to the army temporarily and in a hurry, and the people around you didn't know it, Ai Nengqi might not have been caught that time. So he wanted to take advantage of this time to pass on some false news to Zhang Xianzhong
, he took advantage of his plan and beat Zhang Xianzhong painfully before going north to ensure that nothing happens to Huguang this year."
Yang Sichang was told that his face turned red and he was quite ashamed. He had information about Zhang Xianzhong as a traitor. He was aware of this, but he didn't know the level and could not catch him.
That's all, I have no choice but to rely on Shen Shuren for this matter.
