Chapter 497 I dare to call it 'Fengtian Advocate Righteousness'

Zhang Xianzhong and Xu Yixian walked back to the old camp while chatting. They found "Cao Cao" Luo Rucai and his military advisor Ji Gui, and wanted to discuss together whether it was feasible to surprise attack Xiangyang. Luo Rucai naturally strongly agreed with this.

Then, they talked about the news of Li Zicheng's attack on Luoyang. Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help yelling at this, and he also said to Luo Rucai: "Cao Cao, we have been dealing with this old man Yang Sichang for more than a year, and we almost lost our lives. It's cheap and self-contained!"

Cao Cao said, "However, if Zicheng really destroys Luoyang, cooks King Fu, and eats the 'Fu Lu Banquet', it will be of some benefit to us."

"Humph!"

Zhang Xianzhong snorted through his nostrils, and said: "We beat Yang Laogou to death in Sichuan, but he went to Henan to pick melons and pick up cheap ones. ', there are several benefits for us!"

Cao Cao shook his head with a smile, and said, "No, Jingxuan. It was really difficult for us to be in Sichuan, so we said that although we have left Sichuan now, our number of people has dropped sharply, and we have lost the momentum we had before. If Yang Sichang keeps staring at us, It's hard to roll over.

But now that Zicheng broke Luoyang and cooked King Fu, his fire was set on Chongzhen's waist and heart, and the officers and soldiers from all walks of life rushed to Henan to pursue the money.

Jingxuan, think about it, isn't the big fire that Zicheng set off in Henan really good for us? "

Zhang Xianzhong thought about it carefully, but he still resented Li Zicheng for stealing his limelight, and said, "Okay, my brother Cao Cao, if you want to be the peacemaker, let's deal with it first. Yang Sichang, an old dog raised by the court, is important.

As for the future, let's ride a donkey and read from the libretto, just wait and see.No way, sooner or later you will know how powerful he is. "

Luo Rucai just laughed, but didn't say anything more.

Zhang Xianzhong also turned his head and said to Luo Rucai's military advisor, Ji Gui: "Ziyu, you are a smart man, resourceful and decisive. We are here today to find you and discuss with Cao Shuai how Xiangyang should be played."

Ji Gui hurriedly said: "The commander-in-chief has won the award, but I really dare not do it. To raid Xiangyang and copy Yang Sichang's old nest, such a clever strategy, no one can come up with it, and no one dares to think of it."

Zhang Xianzhong was proud of himself, but he asked again: "In your opinion, can Li Zicheng succeed?"

Ji Gui blinked his small eyes and said: "Please Jingshuai, don't just look at it for a while and mistakenly think that Li Zicheng's popularity after breaking Luoyang is a sign of success.

In fact, it is not entirely true. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, when Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, divided the princes, he surpassed all the heroes and dominated the situation. No prince in the world would dare to look up to Xiang Yu's horse, what a majesty it is.

I think that Liu Bang was in Hanzhong, but he eventually destroyed Xiang Yu; when Wang Mang usurped the Han, Chimei and Bronze Horse jointly regarded Gengshi as emperor, and they also occupied Chang'an, as if they had the power of the world, but they were finally cut off by Guangwu.

Therefore, those who gain power first may not necessarily be successful, and many of them are just paving the way for the true son of heaven to clear the way. Although Li Zicheng has gained power, he is far from being able to compare with King Xiang and Gengshi. What is there to fear!
The good news is that Jingshuai, you can get our Cao Shuai to help you wholeheartedly, so why not worry about the world?
Please rest assured Jingshuai about this matter. "

Zhang Xianzhong squinted at Ji Gui and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Ji Gui replied respectfully: "How dare you lie to Jingshuai!"

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Xianzhong laughed happily, he patted Ji Gui's shoulder kindly, and left Cao Ying with Xu Yixian.

The two of them walked to a place where no one was around, and Zhang Xianzhong said to Xu Yixian: "It seems that Lao Ji is really not a fool."

"Didn't I say that? This person is no better than Cao Shuai, but he is someone who must be guarded against. Sometimes Cao Shuai is really tricky, and he is also very cunning, but sometimes he is careless, and it is easy to reveal the truth.

But Jigui is really deep in the city, and those little thoughts in him are unwilling to be revealed. "

…………

Over there, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's plan to attack Xiangyang is still in progress, but Li Zicheng's plan to attack Kaifeng here has failed. He has no choice but to attack hard. Anyway, he doesn't want to make a trip in vain. He has to knock down a few pieces of the city wall On the big brick down.

On the tower of the West Gate of Kaifeng, Henan inspector Gao Mingheng was nervously looking out of Xiguan, where billowing smoke and dust were continuously spreading to both sides, and thousands of bandit cavalry had gathered outside Xiguan.

"It's really crazy, how dare you spy on my city defense so close." Gao Mingheng said bitterly, but he was powerless.

I saw dozens of cavalry guards, pretending to be men, galloping their horses into Xiguan, watching the gate tower constantly, and pointing at the gate tower from time to time, completely ignoring the guards above. thing.

"Is that person an intruder?" Gao Mingheng asked the people around him.

Huang Shu, the Tutor of Kaifeng Mansion, was by his side, at this moment he said: "I've heard that this thief doesn't care for luxury, he always wears rough clothes and felt hats, and he is quite good at inviting people to buy military spirits. He really looks like this thief!"

Shou Dao Su Zhuang and Xiangfu County Magistrate Wang Xie also came here, and they were accompanying Gao Mingheng. At this time, Wang Xie also said: "Master Gao, look, the big flag among the thieves riding outside Xiguan is here. People must be burglars."

Gao Mingheng looked intently, and saw a large flag erected in front of the thousands of horse thieves outside Xiguan, with the four characters "Fengtian Advocating Righteousness" written on it.

He sneered and said in a deep voice: "How dare you call it 'Fengtian Advocating Justice'?"

At this time, Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, and Chen Yongfu, the chief officer and deputy general of military affairs in Kaifeng, were not in the city. They led their troops to reinforce Luoyang, and Henan inspector Gao Mingheng became the head of all officials.

Just because he dared to do things, even though the city of Kaifeng was empty of troops, the officials did not panic. They had long been psychologically prepared for the arrival of this day.

Not only the organization of social soldiers, but also the division of labor in the city defense has already been done. There are five gates in Kaifeng's city wall.

Among them, the east gate is guarded by Mr. Liang Bing, the political envoy of the left and the veteran in charge of Taoism. This Mr. Liang is the oldest among the officials in Kaifeng, so he is responsible for the simple and lightest side of defense.

The Cao Gate is between the east gate and the north gate, and here is guarded by Cai Maode, the right minister; while the north gate is guarded by Guan He Tongzhi Sang Kaidi; the south gate is guarded by Wu Shi, the prefect of Kaifeng. Said adults are responsible for guarding.

The most vulnerable point is the west gate. Not only is it facing the direction of Luoyang, but the gate on this side is the only one where the Moon City is not built. It is the most difficult to defend, so it must be guarded by competent officials. .

This powerful person is undoubtedly Gao Mingheng, the Henan Xunguan.

In addition, Su Zhuang, the guardian of the Tao, Huang Shu, the Tuiguan, Wang Xie, the magistrate of Xiangfu County, and others also came to participate in the guarding of the west gate to share the burden of Gao Mingheng.

In addition, the King of Zhou in Kaifeng City, Zhu Gongzun, was hundreds of sets stronger than the King of Fu in Luoyang City. He also attached great importance to this. The [-] guards of the palace participated in the guarding of the west gate.

Now that the officials in Kaifeng City have been alerted, they have quickly rushed to each gate to arrange various city guard affairs according to the division of labor beforehand!
