Ming Zuo

Chapter 756 Heroic Character
Li Zicheng didn't know that Chen Qiyu was greedy for money.

When in a crisis, you can bribe with a lot of money, and then make a false surrender.

Even if he knew, Li Zicheng didn't dare to try.

After all, I have played it once before, who can guarantee that Chen Qiyu will still be fooled
The reason why this was done in the original history was that a dead horse was treated as a living horse doctor.

Li Zicheng is not a fool to put his fate in the hands of others.

Therefore, when Liang Yue proposed the method of using other rebels as bait to jump out of the encirclement, Li Zicheng was already moved.

But he didn't comment.

He can't comment either.

Although he wanted to do this kind of thing, he couldn't say it.

After all, he is now the leader of Renyi, and he is well-known in the [-]th Battalion.

This reputation cannot be lost.

Otherwise, like Zijin Liang, he would become a target of public criticism.

Seeing him hesitate, Liu Fangliang, who understood his thoughts best, spoke immediately.

"This plan is very clever, and it will definitely catch the officers and soldiers by surprise. If the plan is right, not to mention turning defeat into victory, it is impossible to say that the officers and soldiers can be defeated."

Li Guo was stunned for a moment, he was still immersed in Liang Yue's ruthlessness, but now he also understood Li Zicheng's thoughts.

"Uncle, as long as we can win this battle, everything will be easy to talk about."

Then the rest of the generals expressed their opinions one after another, all supporting Liang Yue's plan.

But as more and more people expressed their opinions, Li Zicheng gradually strengthened his determination.

"Don't talk anymore! We and the leaders of the thirty-six families have made a blood alliance and shared life and death. How can we do things that take advantage of our brothers? Come on, send a message to the leaders of the various ministries immediately, and we should go north with them. You all go back quickly Pack your bags without delay."

"uncle……"

Li Jin was in a hurry and wanted to persuade him, but Gu Junen stopped him.

Li Jin was still annoyed as he watched the others leave.

Regarding his elm head, Gu Junen really didn't know how to complain.

"General Li, why are you still standing there? General Chuang has something to say, so don't delay."

He deliberately put an accent on the word "delay", and then left.

Li Jin was puzzled and went all the way back to his camp.

Seeing the slow-moving look of the other battalions along the way, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he slapped himself.

Cooperating with the whole army, he is the only fool!

After receiving Li Zicheng's reply, the leaders of the rebel army in various places did not doubt him, packed their bags one after another, and started to go north.

"Chuangjiang, the battalions have already moved."

When the news came, Li Zicheng's face did not show any joy.

He looked at the instigator.

"Brother Liang, you've also seen that there are so many of us, it's hard to hide from the eyes and ears of the officers and soldiers."

Unexpectedly, Liang Yue was prepared sooner.

"So that General Chuang can learn that there is a place called Sangshugou [-] miles east of here. The terrain here is strange and scattered up and down. If we do a good job of covering up and not showing any traces, it will be very difficult for people to find out."

Li Zicheng was overjoyed.

"really?"

Liang Yue said with emotion: "This subordinate is willing to use the head of the item as a guarantee."

He had already talked about this, and Li Zicheng couldn't help but believe it.

On that day, more than [-] people from General Chuang's headquarters quietly left the original route and headed eastward through the rainy sky.

When they arrived at the place, everyone gasped.

The hiding place Liang Yue chose was extremely thrilling.

I saw a wide official road passing between two dangerous peaks, and one side of the official road was a cliff of ten thousand zhang.

And in the jungle beside the road, there is actually a cave hidden.

Going in along the cave, winding all the way down, it will go around to the side close to the cliff.

That side is just under the official road, and there is a drop of several hundred meters.

But standing on the official road, it is impossible to discover the mystery below anyway.

Of course, once discovered, the people below will definitely die.

The final choice came to Li Zicheng's hands.

He needs to be responsible for the lives and deaths of more than [-] people.

At this time, Li Zicheng's heroic courage was reflected.

"Let's all go down, and warn everyone not to make a sound. After the officers and soldiers pass by us, we will rush away."

The coach gave the order, and the others, despite their fear, could only follow the order.

More than [-] people entered the cave one after another, and all hid in the cliff below along the steep path.

Liang Yue stayed at the end with his trusted brother.

After all the troops went down, all traces were wiped away.

At the same time, he also asked Jiang Chaoyun to hide outside with two scouts with outstanding abilities, acting as eyes.

Xunyang (now Xunyang City).

Chen Qiyu led an army from Hubei and has been stationed here.

When he learned that the rebels from all walks of life had started to go north according to his expectation, he knew that the great success had been accomplished.

"Order all the ministries to get in place quickly and block all exits. Anyone who delays the military plane will be punished in this Constitution."

Following his order, the officers and soldiers who had already moved forward one after another, occupying all the commanding heights and passages around the Chaxiang Gorge.

But the tens of thousands of Northwest rebels didn't know that they had already fallen into the net of heaven and earth.

It was raining continuously and the roads were muddy, making it very difficult for the rebels to move up and down.

After walking into the carriage gorge, they were already exhausted.To make matters worse, food was running out.

Gao Yingxiang looked at the people sitting slumped everywhere, and then looked at the steep terrain around him, feeling a little nervous all the time.

"Where is Chuang Jiang?"

The general next to him shook his head, but no one could answer.

These days, no one has seen Li Zicheng.

Gao Yingxiang became more and more uneasy.

"Send someone to invite General Chuang and the Eight Great Kings to come over."

Before the leader left, there was a sudden chaos right in front of him.

I saw countless chaotic soldiers rushing forward with the flags rolled upside down. The formation was already in disarray, and many of them were scarred.

"What happened?"

Gao Yingxiang didn't need to ask, the person who returned said everything.

"Official soldiers! There are so many officers and soldiers blocking the front."

As if struck by lightning, Gao Yingxiang was about to give the order to retreat, when the rear also became chaotic.

"It's not good! The officers and soldiers have blocked the valley entrance behind!"

In an instant, Gao Yingxiang was dizzy and fell to the ground.

Looking at the towering peaks all around, as well as the rugged and difficult paths, he understood everything.

In May of the seventh year of Chongzhen, after more than a year of careful deployment, Chen Qiyu, governor of the five provinces, finally ushered in the most glorious moment of his life.

Tens of thousands of Northwest rebels, as well as famous leaders such as Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Lao Huihui, were all besieged by him in the carriage gorge between Xunyang and Xiaoyi (now Zhashui County).

Even if the official army does not take advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, as long as the siege continues, the Northwest Rebel Army will be wiped out, and no one will survive.

Since the peasant uprising in northern Shaanxi in the seventh year of Tianqi, the Ming Dynasty ushered in the second opportunity to completely suppress it.

Although Li Zicheng had disappeared, no one in the army thought that a mere breakthrough general could do anything.

Chen Qiyu was in high spirits, as if he saw fame and fortune coming towards him like a tide.
