Chapter 188
Regarding the conditions offered by Shen Shuren, Wan Ji, representing Yang Sichang, was of course unwilling and afraid to accept the conditions at first glance.

However, I don't know what reason Shen Shuren told him and how to analyze it.All in all, after some unimaginable operations by outsiders, Wanji still took Shen Shuren's reply and went to Nanyang to meet Yang Sichang for his return.

Shen Shuren himself would not go to Nanyang, and now Nanyang is where Zuo Liangyu's army is stationed, and he and Zuo Liangyu are already in conflict.And Yang Sichang is old and seriously ill, who knows when he will be stimulated a little more and he may die.

If after Shen Shuren left, Zuo Liangyu felt that the court could no longer restrain him, and wanted to attack Shen Shuren with a deadly net, then Shen Shuren would be at a great loss.

The situation in the 15th year of Chongzhen was very different from that of the 14th year of Chongzhen.Last year, Zuo Liangyu was seized by the imperial court and had to submit to Ruanyi Township.After the fall of Hong Chengchou this year, Zuo Liangyu's courage will at least increase by several percent.

Seeing Wanji came back, Yang Sichang also braced himself for his sickness, and listened to his report: "When will Shen Shuren send troops to the north?"

Wan Wanji sighed bitterly: "Old Ge, Shen Shuren asked you to give him two or three months to rest and gather troops. He also told the truth that some elites of the Huangzhou Army were transferred to the newly established Nanjing at the beginning of the year. The household department guards the water camp, and serves as the basic backbone of the new army.

Zhang Mingzhen and Zheng Chenggong fought bloody battles with the Tartars in Eastern Liaodong, many of them were wounded, some of Hong Chengchou's old troops rescued by sea were also wounded and needed to recuperate.

However, he said that there is no need to rush the battle with Li Zicheng. Don't look at the fact that Li Zicheng just killed Governor Wang Qiaonian last month. It is because after the war, he will also need to rectify, and after killing Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying, he will rectify the internal affairs and punish him. Dissidents also need time, and Li Zicheng won't make any big moves for the time being——

Shen Futai also said that there was a delay of three months between the fall of Fu Zonglong and the fall of Wang Qiaonian. This time, it may be delayed for three months, at least two months. "

Hearing this, Yang Sichang's first reaction was to be very angry, even a little bit angry.

Shen Shuren was brought up by him all the way. Every time he made meritorious service, he tried to find a way to be promoted and rewarded. This time, being urged by His Majesty, why didn't he refuse to share his worries immediately?

Could it be that he is also gradually turning into a good person?

"Confused! Didn't you tell him that just because Li Zicheng has just annexed the tribes of Luo and Ma, now he can't do anything about it for a while, maybe there are still some generals who miss the old master and can be instigated by us.

If we don't take the initiative to attack Li Zicheng at this time, is it impossible for us to send troops to conquer him after two months after he has completely purged his internal affairs and eliminated all dissidents? "Yang Sichang couldn't help coughing violently while talking. People who don't know the truth may think that he can cough up his lungs.

Wan Wanji's heart ached when he heard that, knowing that Ge Lao's health was deteriorating, he hurriedly patted his back and handed the soup medicine, and when Yang Sichang calmed down a little, he explained:

"Is what Mr. Ge said unreasonable? In fact, the students said the same to Shen Futai, but he advised us not to be eager, haste makes waste, and we should not forget our original intention and insist on 'four positives and six corners, ten sides to spread the net ' plan. Wait for Li Zicheng to slowly wear down and weaken."

Yang Sichang was a little surprised when he heard that Shen Shuren actually quoted the strategy he proposed back then, and returned it to him with his own way, and felt embarrassed to be angry.

After all, people are respecting him and implementing his consistent strategic thinking.

Yang Sichang held his breath, coughed and sighed after a long time: "One moment and another moment, now Li Zicheng's strength has skyrocketed, the longer he waits, the better his internal integration, obviously the stronger he waits, how can he become weaker the longer he waits? "

Hearing Yang Sichang's question, Wanji showed a look of admiration and admiration, but the direction of the eyes was not towards Yang Sichang, it was a kind of distracted and leisurely fascination, admiring a person from afar.

"Students also said the same thing, but Shen Futai said, let the students calm down and take a good look at Zhuge Liang's "The List of Teachers Later".

"From my minister to Hanzhong, in the middle of the year, I lost Zhao Yun...Deng Tong, etc., Qu Chang, and more than [-] generals, sudden generals, Wuqian... more than [-] horsemen.These are all the elites of the Quartet that have been entangled within decades, not owned by one state; if it is repeated for several years, two-thirds will be lost, so how can we seek the enemy?There are five unsolved problems of this minister. '

With the wisdom of Zhuge Kongming, why do you think that 'if you don't kill the thieves, the king's industry will also perish'?It is because of the above paragraph that Zhuge Liang knew that the generals and elite soldiers left to him by Liu Bei were not what Yizhou could produce in one place.

It is the accumulation of Liu Bei's decades of traveling around the world, including Yuan Cong in the north and scholars from Jingxiang.After Jihan only had one state in Yizhou, if he wanted to rely on local talents to make up for the needs of the Northern Expedition, he would only gradually run out and wither.

Shen Futai told me that although Li Zicheng is in great power today, he annexed his troops by killing Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying.But his decline from prosperity also planted the root of disaster.If it drags on in the future, his troops will only get fewer and fewer, and the reason is the same as Zhuge Liang's predicament after entering Shu. "

When Yang Sichang heard this, his eyes finally flashed a gleam, as if he had seen the sun through the clouds.Although he is old, he still has knowledge and experience. After thinking for a while, he immediately grasped the essence of Shen Shuren's thoughts: "What he means is..."

Wanji didn't give a shit, and directly reported the answer: "Shen Futai said that the people Li Zicheng can annex today were formed by him and various thieves traveling in Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan, Sichuan, Hubei, Anhui, and Shanxi provinces for many years.

Although it is said that there are more than 30 people, it is not a place in Henan that can support and coerce them.And from the moment he killed Luo Rucai, he was doomed to be suspicious of his subordinates, and there would be no colleagues in the future. It was impossible for him to break up the troops and go out, decentralize and run around.

This team of 30 people can only have one goal, one leader, and follow Li Zicheng himself, and cannot leave too far away and stand on his own.In the past, the bandits were able to support so many soldiers and have a steady stream of followers, relying on breaking them into parts and sucking blood from many provinces.

Once screwed together, it will decay over time!Just like Zhuge Liang's nest in Yizhou, even with Zhuge's talent, let alone trespassers. "

Yang Sichang pondered for a while, and he was completely convinced by this insight. It wasn't that Shen Shuren was good at fooling around, but that his words really made sense.

Rogues have no economic system, they rely on robbery.Therefore, if it is broken up into parts to suck blood from multiple provinces, it can also maintain the economic cycle and fight for food.

After joining forces, they are stronger militarily, but weaker economically, and the sustainability of the economy is greatly damaged. Can he afford to support so many troops over time?
And the thieves can't come up with a new policy of economic construction, from robbing to long-term tax collection. If this transformation cannot be completed, they will eventually explode.

Shen Shuren is so sure, of course, because he knows that in history Li Zicheng will eventually blew himself up. He can't establish a base, and he can't establish an effective economic self-sufficiency internal circulation system.

Not every single piece of land can make a lot of money by copying salaries like Beijing City.

In the end, Li Zicheng will be like a virus strain that jumped into a petri dish. It will multiply wildly at the beginning, and after the protein in the agar block is exhausted, it will devour itself and eventually become extinct.

Just don't let him break the petri dish and jump into another petri dish.

Seeing that Yang Sichang also understood Shen Shuren's theory, Wan Wanji carefully added: "For the last reason, Shen Futai secretly wrote you a secret letter to analyze the key points.

He also said that if the old man needs it, he can use this reasoning to add and delete as appropriate, and bitterly advise His Majesty, so that His Majesty will not be too hasty in the battle to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng.After all, even if he immediately went north for reinforcements, if Li Zicheng didn't want to fight for the time being, it would only make our veterans tired in vain.

Li Zicheng had just killed Wang Qiaonian, so he would definitely seize Wang Qiaonian's army rations and more or less something, which should be enough for Li Zicheng's army for a while, and he won't be in a hurry recently.

Finally, Shen Futai has one more condition, and I hope you agree to it. "

Yang Sichang frowned: "Say."

Wanji carefully relayed: "Shen Futai said that his jurisdiction was originally in the Huguang and Yinghuo Mountains. It is said that as long as Li Zicheng does not go south, he will sit in the area and just ensure that Zhang Xianzhong is blocked.

Now if he insisted on mobilizing the troops to besiege Zhang Xianzhong and go northward, he would not dare to disobey his orders.But he knows that there is a bad practice in the imperial court nowadays: the courtiers will bully whoever is easy to bully, and whoever works for the imperial court will use it to death.He didn't want to be consumed by the imperial court like Hong Chengchou.

Therefore, in order to mobilize troops to encircle Zhang Xianzhong and go northward, they should be treated equally, as many troops as Sichuan send, so do he and Governor Fang.Otherwise, it will be a situation where whoever is anxious for justice will be the first to die of exhaustion. "

After hearing this, Yang Sichang was quite displeased, but after calming down, he also knew that he should not bully honest people.

Chongzhen really bullied honest people too much in employing people, and he thought that one crop would be the same. Shen Shuren wanted to benchmark Sichuan, but he didn't want his own small group to suffer additional losses.

Yang Sichang finally made a decision: "Forget it, I have agreed to these conditions. Three months is too long. Give him two months. After two months, the army must set off northward to help me find Li Zicheng to fight. Then count him as the march on the way." The time is two and a half months at the latest—even if it is June [-]th, you have to go to Nanyang or Xinyang to get the same.

He said that the scale of sending troops should be the same as that of Sichuan, and this point also depends on him. When the time comes, Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, will send [-] troops from Hanzhong to Shaanxi to supplement Sun Chuanting who has just arrived in office.

The Shaanxi army was sent to death for nothing by Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian twice, and they lost almost all of their losses. Without the help of the Sichuan army, Sun Chuanting would have been a poor man when he first took office.

Shao Jiechun is willing to offer 3 people, but Shen Shuren must at least also offer 3?Just more and no less! "

Wanji finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally added anxiously: "Mr. Ge, there is another suggestion, which was also given by Shen Futai. The students don't know whether to give it or not..."

Yang Sichang: "I've said so many things about no king and no father, how many words are missing? But it's okay to say!"

Wanji whispered in his ear: "Shen Futai said that he delayed the news of going north. I hope you can hide the news from the generals and staff around you, Mr. Ge, and only say that the main force of Shenfutai has been ordered by you to be transferred to Xinyang. Liu Guoneng has joined forces and can attack Li Zicheng's troops in Henan at any time."

Yang Sichang's face was a little ugly: "What is his intention? Even his own people want to hide it?"

Wanji sighed: "Shen Futai felt that there must be someone around you who was bought by Zhang Xianzhong—you should also feel that Zhang Xianzhong dared to attack Xiangyang last year, just at the time when you sent troops to the north and Xiangyang was empty.

If it hadn't been for Shen Futai returning to the army temporarily at that time and in a hurry, and the people around you didn't know about it, they might not have been able to catch Ai Nengqi that time.So he wanted to take advantage of this time to pass on some false news to Zhang Xianzhong, and use his tricks to beat Zhang Xianzhong to the pain before going north, so as to ensure that Huguang will be fine this year. "

Yang Sichang blushed when he was told that, and he was quite ashamed. He had Zhang Xianzhong's spy as a traitor by his side. He also felt this, but he didn't know the level, and he couldn't catch it.

Forget it, I have to rely on Shen Shuren for this matter.
