Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 272 Li Zicheng was beaten in the face with Shun Jun
"Thank you Zeng Shuai for informing us of the news that Cihou won in Jiangxia!"

Inside the defense line of Hanyang Town, Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan couldn't help looking at each other when they heard the soldiers of the Shun Army yelling like this nine times in unison.

Then they laughed together.

Yang Zhan said: "For a long time, this Li Zicheng actually thought we were lying to him? He actually thought that Liu Fangliang won in Jiangxia. It's ridiculous."

Zeng Ying said with a smile, "I don't think he really wanted to do so, most of the time he deliberately publicized it so as to stabilize the morale of the army.

Jian Guo seems to have expected this matter long ago. When he told you and me on the walkie-talkie, he had already sent someone to send Liu Fangliang and his banner across the river.

Once these things arrive, Li Zicheng's lies will be exposed, and he will have to retreat at that time. "

"Then tell him to have a sweet dream for a while." Yang Zhan said this, and then he said unwillingly: "Later, Li Zicheng's lies will be exposed, and the morale of the army will definitely be lost. It is really a good opportunity to defeat the Shun army. .

However, Jian Guo did not allow troops to be dispatched, so he just took over the Hanyang Mansion and it was over, hey! "

Zeng Ying said with a smile: "Jian Guo did this based on the overall situation - let people like Li Zicheng go, so that he can withstand the West Road Qing army in Jingxiang for a while.

In this way, we have time and troops to go to Nanzhili to deal with the Qing army on the East Road.

What's more, it only takes a month or two for Zuo Liangyu's hundreds of thousands of troops to reorganize and train, and then it will not be difficult to recover Jingxiang and other places. "

···
Li Zicheng saw that the morale and morale of the army had been raised a little bit by his one sentence, so he ordered Liu Zongmin to organize soldiers to attack Hanyang Town again.

In fact, he had no idea about Liu Fangliang's victory or defeat in attacking Jiangxia, and even felt that what the Ming army said might be true.

Therefore, he must attack Hanyang again while the army's morale and morale are available.

If Hanyang can be defeated, even if it is later confirmed that Liu Fangliang was defeated in Jiangxia, the situation will not be at its worst all of a sudden.

As a result, Liu Zongmin dispatched the soldiers and horses, and was about to order the drums to be played, when a small group of riders rushed out from Hanyang Town.

This small group of riders stopped two miles in front of the Shun army formation.

It was only now that many soldiers of the Shun Army saw clearly that there was still a person tied up in the squad, dragging a flag.

"Li Zicheng, our supervisor guessed that you would not believe Liu Fangliang's defeat, so we sent Liu Fangliang and his general flag here!
You must know Liu Fangliang and his general flag, right?You can tell the truth at a glance! "

As he spoke, he pushed the tied man forward with a rope.

Another person raised the general flag that had been dragged before, with the word "Liu" written on it impressively, and the format was exactly the same as the general flag of the Shun Army.

Even though it was two miles away, some sharp-eyed Shun Jun still recognized the identity of the kidnapped person, and couldn't help but scream out in shock.

"What a magnet!"

"No way? Cihou was really captured?"

"So, as the Ming army said, Cihou led 3 people to attack Jiangxia but was wiped out?!"

"···"

These words quickly spread to the rear, and soon tens of thousands of Shunjun were in an uproar and commotion.

If Cihou's defeat is true, didn't Li Zicheng let them shout like that before, didn't he drag them to be slapped in the face by the Ming army?
Li Zicheng's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Seeing Liu Zongmin and other senior generals staring at him as before, he couldn't help but angrily said: "What are you doing in a daze? How could that man be Cihou? It must be the Ming army in disguise!

The general flag must have been forged by the Ming army!Everything is a trick of the Ming army!

Are these still in terms of amount?Don't you guys know to tell the soldiers?
Pass the military order, and anyone who discusses the matter indiscriminately and shakes the morale of the army will be killed immediately! "

A group of generals just woke up like a dream, and they responded one after another, and then rushed to various places, either yelling loudly, or speaking softly to comfort, but tens of thousands of people were quickly quieted down.

In the final analysis, the Shun army brought by Li Zicheng this time is still available, and the middle and senior generals of all ministries are also considered capable.

If they were all mob soldiers, they might collapse when they heard the news.

Afterwards, Li Zicheng first ordered all the ministries to return to the camp and bury the pot for cooking.

Then he called Zhang Nai into the tent and said: "Take a small group of people to Hanyang Town to meet the Ming army commander and tell them that tomorrow we will withdraw our troops and leave Hanyang Mansion.

But if the Ming army comes to pursue the Emen, or attack Jingxiang, Chengtian, De'an and other places, don't blame the Emen for giving way, and invite the Qing army to go south! "

Li Zicheng added the accent on the word please.

He believed that Zhang Nai could understand what he meant and fully convey it to the chief general of the Ming army.

Sure enough, Zhang Nai solemnly took the lead and said: "The general understands, so let's do it!"

After finishing speaking, he led a group of soldiers out of the camp.

However, Li Zicheng sent guards to call Wu Ruyi, who was in charge of the army's supplies, into the tent, and ordered: "Let the logistics rush to make torches. After dinner, we will pretend to be camping, and then retreat overnight."

Wu Ruyi didn't ask why he retreated overnight, but said: "The morale of the army is not stable now, if we retreat at night, I'm afraid many people will take the opportunity to escape."

Li Zicheng frowned.

This matter blamed him for not thinking carefully, and he was anxious.

He pondered for a while and then said: "Then make preparations early and retreat at dawn tomorrow. In addition, we still need to ask the logistics to make more torches and distribute them to various departments to prevent the Ming army from attacking at night."

In the end, Li Zicheng was still unwilling to entrust his safety to the Ming army—although the Princess Jian Guo said to let him go, but who knew if it was paralyzing him so that he could attack the camp at night and wipe out his tens of thousands of troops in one fell swoop?
···
Hanyang Town.

After Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan heard Zhang Nai's message, they immediately informed Aimi Zhu through the walkie-talkie.

In the Zhulin old house, Hao Guangming heard the words on the walkie-talkie through the video on his mobile phone, but he couldn't help sighing: "It seems that Li Zicheng is really in a hurry-although his words did not show the intention of surrendering to the Qing army, there are also The meaning of uniting the Qing Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty."

As the founding emperor, although Li Zicheng was naive, naive, and obviously unqualified in politics, it does not mean that his political talent is really poor.

After all, he is a man who has been the leader of the peasant army for more than ten years.

After experiencing so many failures, and now being chased and suppressed by the Qing army and crushed by the Ming army, it is not unusual for him to think of uniting the Qing Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty.

However, judging from the words he conveyed, this kind of thinking is obviously not clear and firm.I don't know if I didn't think clearly, or I just didn't want to cooperate with the Qing army.

Aunt Zhu said: "Since he is willing to withdraw his troops and leave the Hanyang Mansion, our goal has been achieved.

It doesn't matter whether he will let the Qing army go south in the future.

Perhaps the Qing army didn't need him to let him go, they defeated him directly, and went south by themselves.

Or, Du Yinxi and Zhang Kuang had succeeded in training troops in Hunan, and sent troops to recover Hubei first.

In short, we let him go this time, and the truce with the Shun Army is only temporary. In the future, the two sides will definitely win or lose in Hubei. "

Hearing these words, Hao Guangming couldn't help being surprised and said: "Yes, you understand politics very quickly. It seems that you can't help but have military talent, and political talent is not bad."

Hearing Hao Guangming's straightforward praise, Auntie Zhu couldn't help but blush slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Immediately, she gave instructions to Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan through the walkie-talkie.

Let them monitor Li Zicheng's Shun army, and they don't need to fight again. When the Shun army retreats tomorrow, they will divide their troops to recover Hanchuan.

···
March eighteenth.

The Shun Army had withdrawn from Hanyang Mansion for three or four days, while Hanchuan was recaptured by the third town of the frontier army led by Yang Zhan.

However, it is impossible for Auntie Zhu to use the third town of the border guards to guard Hanyang Mansion—whether it is Hanyang Mansion, Wuchang Mansion, or the entire Hunan's armaments, Huguang's army is needed.

It turns out that He Tengjiao and other officials of the Ming Dynasty also trained tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Changsha and other Hunan prefectures and counties.

According to Du Yinxi and Zhang Kuang, most of these people are bandits and bandits attached to the local area, or they are trained by gentry and landlords, and they are unreliable.

Even if you pick and choose, there are only one or two battalions and thousands of people available at most.

Therefore, the troops needed by Aimee Zhu for deployment in Huguang will ultimately fall on the recruited Zuo Liangyu soldiers.

"If you want to firmly grasp Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses in a short period of time and make them usable soldiers, the key lies in Zuo Liangyu.

Therefore, I think it's time for you to let Zuo Liangyu meet and give him a 'peace of mind'. "

On the second floor of the Yuchuan Palace Pavilion, Auntie Zhu couldn't help nodding slightly when she heard Hao Guangming's words.

She kept Zuo Liangyu from killing him, so she must use it.

But Zuo Liangyu still needs to understand his use value, neither be suspicious because of fear or fear, nor push forward because of self-importance, so that's good.

To put it simply, Zuo Liangyu must be obediently a tool in Huguang.
