Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 1016
Xu Yixian is not a nagging person when dealing with things, he glanced at the person in front of him:
"You say my king is so unbearable, so Zuo Liangyu is a good lord?"

"Him?" Ji Gui stood up and said disdainfully: "He is not worthy to carry shoes for my lord."

"And why do you think that the person I am loyal to is Zuo Liangyu?"

Xu Yixian was slightly astonished: "Could it be Wu Guojun, Marquis of Jingliao?"

Ji Gui shook his head, looked back at Xu Yixian and smiled.

Xu Yixian had a look of surprise on his face: "May I ask who is this brother?"

"My lord~ Hammer Bandit Ji Gui."

Xu Yixian was stunned in place, this news made him a little bit overwhelmed.

The hammer bandit was in the camp of Zuo Liangyu and Wu Guojun, and when he was caught and released, the surrounding soldiers respected him very much.

Zuo Liangyu colluded with the hammer bandits, Xu Yixian believed it, anyway, he didn't obey the emperor's orders very much, and supported his own self-respect.

But Wu Guojun, Marquis of Jing and Liao in the Ming Dynasty was the most trusted military general in Chongzhen, and this is something that the whole world knows.

Now that even he colluded with the hammer bandits, Xu Yixian was really shocked and didn't know what to say.

Moreover, Xu Yixian had also heard of Ji Gui's name, and he claimed to be He Jinchao's number one military adviser, and he was highly valued.

Now He Jinchao actually sent him to serve in the army of Wu Guojun and Zuo Liangyu. The situation was quite complicated, and Xu Yixian didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Why, think about it."

Ji Gui looked at the astonished Xu Yixian and said proudly:

"In today's world, there are no more than a few forces, and you can count them all. The Qing army Tartars outside the pass, the Ming emperor who is trapped in the capital, and Li Zicheng who is entrenched in Henan.

Zhang Xianzhong was disabled in this battle. If he wants to recover, he can only develop in Jiangxi and other places according to my lord's wishes. "

Xu Yixian stood up and said, "Is Marshal He leading this war against my king?"

"At the beginning in Sichuan, the nephew of my family commander did his best to help you, get rid of the pursuit of the Ming army, send you food, and help you tide over the difficulties. Zhang Xianzhong didn't promise well, but why is he still entrenched in the land of Huguang and Henan?"

Ji Gui pinched his beard and looked at Xu Yixian and said: "You tore up the deal between us first, so don't blame my boss for taking action against you.

He is disrespectful, my boss has plenty of ways to help him face it! "

What Xu Yixian said was speechless.

He never expected that He Jinzhao's hand could reach so long inside Daming.

I thought it was a violation of the agreement to break away from the place where the Hammer bandits met.

Now Xu Yixian can't say that they just want to mess up the Central Plains and go to Jiangxi and other places.

What else?

As long as there is a slight disobedience, the iron fist of the hammer bandit will hit it directly.

Explanation?

You didn't act according to Marshal He's intention immediately, and we didn't bother to listen to your sophistry.

No need.

After hammering you, you know what to do.

What surprised Xu Yixian the most was that Chongzhen's top generals were also He Jinchao's people!
Moreover, it was the Ming government army who killed Zhang Xianzhong, not the hammer bandits.

At least for now.

"My family's commander-in-chief is in the northwest, and there are countless elite soldiers and generals under his command, but he has been dormant in the northwest because of the shortage of food and the quality of officials.

When the time comes, you can quickly send troops to overthrow Daming. At that time, if you serve the Hammer Bandits, you will be even more out of line. "

Ji Gui did not believe that a person who wanted to concentrate on assisting Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion would give up his ambition.

Because Xu Yixian, like him, is also an unreliable Juren.

This kind of person has a great hatred for Ming Dynasty's imperial examination system, and it is impossible for him to turn back and be loyal to Ming Dynasty.

So choosing a rebel leader who had a chance to overthrow Daming became his first choice.

Now Ji Gui told him that your first choice was not very good.

After you helped Zhang Xianzhong out of the siege last time, it makes people think that you can be recruited.

"I can give you a few days to think about it. This is also because of your talent. If you are an ordinary person, you would have been chopped off long ago, and your head will be recorded in the victory report of the Great Ming General."

Ji Gui lowered his head and patted him on the shoulder: "Think about it, there is no such shop after passing this village."

Before Xu Yixian could respond, Ji Gui called for someone to imprison him in another tent.

After Fu Zonglong died in battle, there was no hope for Da Ming to send another decent supervisor.

The Battle of Xiangcheng was the first large-scale battle of Li Zicheng's peasant army after entering Henan. More than [-] enemies were wiped out, and Fu Zonglong, who was in charge of attacking the peasant army, was captured and beheaded. It was a major victory.

It dealt a severe blow to the officers and soldiers. Li Zicheng's victory this time was due to his tactics of feinting to lure the enemy and setting up an ambush.

This battle showed that the tactical level of the Peasant Army has been greatly improved, and many people who are familiar with the art of war have served as Li Zicheng's staff.

The reason for the failure of the Ming army was that the generals were timid to fight. The first ones ran away from the battle, and the next ones refused to rescue them.

But Zhang Xianzhong led dozens of cavalry to join Li Zicheng in a panic.

Li Zicheng became even more famous after killing Fu Zonglong, and his number expanded to 50 people at once.

After the Battle of Xiangcheng, Chuangwang's troops marched northwest, breaking through Shangshui, Fugou, Yuchuan and other counties, and no one could stop them.

Attack Ye County (now part of Henan Province) and kill the traitor Liu Guoneng (Crossing the Sky).

The main reason is that Li Zicheng hopes that Liu Guoneng can join him in the rebellion again, anyway, this is what everyone did before.

There are still some old friendships.

But Liu Guoneng prided himself on his loyalty, and scolded Li Zicheng angrily with his eyes wide open: "I was a thief with you at the beginning, but now I am a courtier of the Emperor of Heaven, why should I surrender to you?"

Of course, Li Zicheng would not be used to such words. If a person who surrendered to Daming wants to devote himself to being loyal to Daming, he should fulfill him.

Li Zicheng also liked killing the loyal ministers of Ming Dynasty very much.

Attack Wuyang and kill the traitor Li Guoqing (Shotatian) at Beiwudu.

Just when King Chuang was winning consecutive victories, Zhang Xianzhong met Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng no longer had the embarrassment of humbly begging Zhang Xianzhong in person.

In the territory of Henan, which officer and general would not tremble three times when he heard the Ming Dynasty of King Li Chuang?

On the other hand, Zhang Xianzhong was disheveled, with wounds on his body, blood stains all over his body.

It really is this moment and that moment.

"Brother Zhang, why did you become like this?"

Li Zicheng hurriedly greeted Zhang Xianzhong and entered the county government hall.

Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's miserable appearance, the surrounding generals naturally laughed and frowned thoughtfully.

After all, Zhang Xianzhong was not such a weak leader.

It turned out that the entire Ming army in Huguang had to guard against him.

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head: "It's a big deal, and he directly fought against the officers and soldiers, resulting in heavy losses and almost dying.

The elite soldiers of Marquis Wu Guojun of Jingliao are by no means comparable to Zuo Liangyu and others, but they are the first time I have encountered a strong enemy. "

After Hong Chengchou led troops to support Jinzhou, the Ming court could not send many people to encircle and suppress the peasant army in Henan.

In other words, the people in Henan still have a way to survive, so Li Zicheng wouldn't be able to raise tens of thousands of people in a short period of time relying on his family of one thousand people.

Li Zicheng also put away his contempt. Although he had a prosperous life in Henan, he never encountered a strong enemy.

He knew that the long-standing thieves in Zhang Xianzhong's hands were much stronger than those under his own hands.

Even if they couldn't defeat Wu Guojun, Li Zicheng's heart began to beat.

After all, battles cannot be won by relying on numbers.

This is also Li Zicheng's awareness of growing up in military command. Only by continuous learning can he gain a firm foothold.

"Chuang Wang, we still need to be careful."

Li Yan was the first to express his suggestion. After Wu Guojun beat Zhang Xianzhong, he appointed him to encircle and suppress King Chuang.

"Not bad." Li Zicheng didn't bother to show off to Zhang Xianzhong, so he also said:

"Send someone quickly to inquire about the movement of the officers and soldiers, and report back as soon as there is news."

"Yes."

Naturally, a messenger ran out directly.

Li Zicheng said to Zhang Xianzhong: "Brother Zhang, you only have dozens of horses left, why don't you return to my command, I will send you thousands of horses, and the two of us will fight the world together."

When Zhang Xianzhong heard this, his face was a little ugly.

He came to seek cooperation, not to be Li Zicheng's younger brother.

Everyone is sitting on an equal footing. From now on, if you want to sit, I will kneel.

Didn't I, Zhang Xianzhong, become a beggar on my knees?

Zhang Xianzhong also thought Li Zicheng's words were really ugly.

When he came to ask himself to help him back then, he never said such a thing.

Never expected that Li Zicheng would float away!

Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong was silent, Luo Ru immediately stood up and said:

"Brother Zhang is injured, it's better to ask the doctor to come and treat him well."

Now Daming is still a shelf, and there is a little bit of strength in it.

Moreover, the internal conflicts in the rebel army did not intensify, so Li Zicheng only asked, and did not force Zhang Xianzhong to join his team.

"Good good."

Li Zicheng also brushed aside this nonsense, and asked Zhang Xianzhong to go down and cultivate.

After he went down, Li Zicheng summoned several of his confidants:
"Zhang Xianzhong has a family background, but now he has lost everything. The Ming Dynasty's Jingliao Marquis is coming so aggressively, it is impossible to talk about how to deal with us regardless of us?"

Song Xiance was the first to speak: "King Chuang, before they come, we are going to attack Nanyang."

"Zhang Xianzhong besieged Nanyang and was defeated by Wu Guojun."

Li Zicheng was jealous of Wu Guojun, even though he was very powerful.

But he doesn't have any real background, and he has to avoid difficult towns and government troops, and he can't die.

"Because of this, Wu Guojun and others must have never imagined that some of us could pretend to be an army and deliberately go to Xinyang and other places with the intention of moving to Hubei."

Li Yan then added: "Chuang Wang, under the slogan that we merged with Zhang Xianzhong and went to Huguang and other places, lured Wu Guojun and others to return to Huguang to intercept."

Li Zicheng nodded, probably doing just that, and then attacked Nanyang, captured Tang Wang, and took away his treasury.

When Yang Sichang got the good news from Wu Guojun, he jumped up from the "sick bed".

"Great victory, great victory!"

The military supervisor Wanji was also very happy.

As soon as Jingliaohou made a move, he almost beat Zhang Xianzhong to death. Even if he didn't kill Zhang Xianzhong, dozens of people escaped after he was beaten.

After resting for a while, they went to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng who was entrenched in Henan.

In this way, the Central Plains bandits can be completely wiped out.

ZTE Daming is no longer a dream!
So what if He Jinzhao is powerful?
What will happen in the future is still unknown!

Yang Sichang suddenly felt that he had truly come back to life.

He will never forget the nightmare that the hammer bandits gave him in Chongqing.

How can we not avenge this revenge?
He wants to prove that his father is wrong, his son is dedicated to Daming, and with a warrior like Wu Guojun on the battlefield, a warrior like Zuo Liangyu has to be obedient.

Thinking of this, Yang Sichang hurriedly jumped down and began to write a good news to Chongzhen, which made His Majesty happy.

Wan Wanji also pinched his beard, thinking that thanks to the supervisor not indiscriminately commanding, Marquis Jingliao was able to plan by himself, and the first battle was successful.

The next step is to march into Henan and strangle the Chuang Wang Li Zicheng.

"Supervisor, Marquis Jingliao asked us to provide food and grass." Supervising Army Wanji said with a smile on his face, "There are more prisoners this time, but there is not even enough food for the army. How can we expand the results of the battle?"

Hearing this, Yang Sichang, who was writing the victory report, raised his head: "Ask the governor of Huguang to give full support."

Wanji thought for a while, and then went to find someone first.

Huguang was originally a land of fish and rice, but it doesn't matter if we don't talk about it now.

The military rations were a huge mountain on the Ming army's head, and they would be hungry at every turn.

Capital.

After receiving Yang Sichang's report, Chongzhen leaned on the table in surprise and laughed.

He even walked around the palace excitedly, completely losing his composure.

Although Zhang Xianzhong who dug up their Zhu family's ancestral grave was not caught, less than a hundred of Zhang Xianzhong were beaten and fled, which was a favorable blow to the forces of the rogues.

The most important thing is that Yang Sichang also sketched a blueprint (big cake) for him, to wipe out the bandits in the Central Plains, resume production, and then achieve a tripartite confrontation with the two forces in the northwest and northeast.

Among these three parties, Da Ming occupies a huge territory, and he can easily drag the other two parties to death.

After the Liaodong War ended, Ming could also negotiate a peace with the Tatars, but the Hammer bandits and the Tartars had a grudge, so they couldn't be allowed to negotiate a peace and deal with Daming together.

Compared with other people who wrote memorials, Yang Sichang wrote memorials that were completely different from the facts. He always pointed out the actual situation of the current court very euphemistically.

In this way, Chongzhen will not jump in anger, and he can always grasp the first-hand news.

Compared with other people's memorials, most of them are full of lies.

Of course, people like Lu Xiangsheng who always write some big truths in memorials make Chongzhen, who is known as Xiao Yaoshun and Zhongxing Daming's dream broken, jump his feet angrily.

If it weren't for the emperor's face, Lu Xiangsheng would have to be criticized, and he would not agree with his suggestions.

Chongzhen did not have the consciousness of "I am this kind of man", and he was very attached to his own reputation.

Therefore, it is impossible for an official like Lu Xiangsheng who only speaks the truth and does not know how to flatter him to be loved and trusted by Chongzhen.

Therefore, it is reasonable to be killed in the pit, and even after he died in battle, he was not given the honor of collecting his body.

Now Yang Sichang's memorials made Chongzhen always feel very kind, and Jingliaohou did not disappoint him as expected, and gave him such a big surprise as soon as he made a move.

Now that the Northeast, the Central Plains and other places have received good news one after another, Chongzhen was ecstatic and couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of rice.
