Chapter 522 The Eighth King Is A Consistent Person
But the fact is the fact that Lu Xiangsheng died. After repeated confirmation by everyone, and the information said, tens of thousands of people gathered in the capital to watch Lu Xiangsheng beheaded. They absolutely did not lie. In the end, Li Zicheng and others believed it. , Believe it and then you will be ecstasy, the kind of uncontrollable ecstasy from the heart.

Since Li Zicheng's uprising, he has fought with many people. At the earliest time, he fought against Yang He in Shaanxi, then Hong Chengchou, and then Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao and other generals who led the army. But after fighting for so many years, he was most impressed. Lu Xiangsheng is the one who fights with Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army. He has a posture of fighting with your life. He may not be strong, but you can't stand fighting with your life.

Hong Chengchou's military ability is there, and he put a lot of pressure on Li Zicheng at the beginning, but compared with Lu Xiangsheng, he seems very gentle. In some battles that are not very dominant, they will protect themselves wisely and leave a lot of money for the rebels. respite.

But Lu Xiangsheng can't, Lu Xiangsheng doesn't want his life at all in a war, that posture is that you don't want my life, I want your life, we must die today.

This style of play made Li Zicheng suffer a lot. For so many years, Li Zicheng has traveled all over the country, and the only one who has given him this kind of pressure in the military is Lantian.

Of course, Lan Tian and Lu Xiangsheng have different styles of play. The reason why Lan Tian’s army dares to fight is because of their excellent equipment. I'm equipped in a state that seems to crush you.

Moreover, Lu Xiangsheng's military ability is really good. The Tianxiong Army of more than 3 people once gave Li Zicheng an unforgettable defeat. If it weren't for Liu Zongmin and Li Shichao risked his life to save him, his grave would be more than a foot high.

Now that Lu Xiangsheng is dead, and he is catching up with himself to take advantage of the flood of the Yellow River to raise a million rebels again, wouldn't he be invincible? God bless our rebels.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng laughed loudly: "Hahaha, good, good, God bless my rebel army, God bless my rebel army, now that Lu Xiangsheng is dead, and Daming has no white jade pillars that hold up the sky and purple gold beams that frame the sea, from now on, this Tomorrow, I will let you and me gallop, hahaha..."

After hearing Li Zicheng's words, everyone shouted in unison: "Long live King Chuang, long live the rebel army, long live King Chuang, long live the rebel army."

The valley trembled with everyone's shouts. For a while, everyone was full of hope for the future. What's more, they believed that this was the destiny, and it was the testimony that God was going to give the world to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng was already preparing to celebrate, while Zhang Xianzhong, who was also a major force of rogues, also got the news that Lu Xiangsheng had been beheaded.

Zhang Xianzhong is living a miserable life now. He feels that he has been tricked by Yang Sichang. He originally thought that Yang Sichang, as his good ally, would definitely give him a good home and divide himself up when he failed to attack Lantian. It's a very good site, let yourself be the emperor here, but he miscalculated.

He overestimated his use value in Yang Sichang's eyes. He thought that he could be Yang Sichang's help outside the court. In the future, he would be outside and Yang Sichang would be inside.

But what?
Yang Sichang only regarded him as a high-level tool man. When he first fought in Lantian, the relationship between the two was like glue. Yang Sichang tried his best to meet Zhang Xianzhong's request, and even joined court officials to put pressure on Chongzhen to make Chongzhen make a compromise and make a move that violated his ancestors. He decided to recruit Zhang Xianzhong.

But after the Battle of Tongqian Pass, Zhang Xianzhong was killed by Lan Tian with his helmet and armor discarded, which fully demonstrated the fact that his use value was low. As a result, after Tongqian Pass, Zhang Xianzhong was directly assigned to Gu County in Hubei.

How to say this place, poor mountains and bad waters, and the poor mountains and bad waters to the extreme, before Zhang Xianzhong came, the people in this county were almost running away, and when Zhang Xianzhong came, there were almost no people in this county.

Zhang Xianzhong asked the imperial court for a place to live a good life, to exploit the people, to enjoy peace, to be a master, not to come to Gu County to open up wasteland and farm land, so Zhang Xianzhong was quite uncomfortable, but not yet. Dare to disagree, because the court is very dark, after Zhang Xianzhong was sent here, Sun Chuanting was also sent immediately, and Sun Chuanting, the Qin army, was watching at the door of his house every day, as long as he was a little troubled, he was ready to be suppressed by soldiers at any time Same.

Logically speaking, his majestic Eight Great Kings should not be afraid of Sun Chuanting, but theories are theories, and the facts are facts. He is really afraid of Sun Chuanting. Some of the firearms supported by Lantian, Zhang Xianzhong's fear of Lantian is really engraved in his bones.

Therefore, when Sun Chuanting was around, he pretended to be a grandson honestly, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous at all. It can be said that he has had a very difficult life for more than a year.

Moreover, Li Dingguo's rebellion made Zhang Xianzhong have obvious shortcomings in the military, so this year, Zhang Xianzhong behaved with his tail between his legs, while trying to get his subordinates to farm and grow some food for himself to save him from starvation, while rectifying the military internally. , Established a battle order with Sun Kewang as the coach, Liu Wenxiu as the staff officer, and Ai Nengqi as the forward officer.

After doing all this, Zhang Xianzhong was waiting for the time to rebel again.

Rebellion must be rebellion. After all, Zhang Xianzhong, the majestic eighth king, can't die of old age in this ravine. He wants to be a master, not a village head in this ravine. This is completely inconsistent with his politics. Aspirational, and the ambition to be rich and prosperous.

So he, Zhang Xianzhong, tried his best to pretend to be his grandson here for more than a year, and finally waited for the opportunity. The Tartars invaded the Central Plains, and Shandong was in a hurry.

Even if the seal on Zhang Xianzhong was lifted at once, the first time after Sun Chuanting was transferred away, Zhang Xianzhong began to organize his staff and prepare to rebel. He no longer wanted to stay in this damned Gu County. A place, another place of his dreams, Sichuan.

That's right, Zhang Xianzhong is a single-minded person. Since the rebellion, he has always wanted to enter Sichuan and has never changed. Zhang Xianzhong has a clear understanding of himself and feels that he cannot become the overlord of the Central Plains. He is not sure about Li Zicheng's opponent. He has been able to do it, so he has always wanted to enter Sichuan. As long as he enters Sichuan, he feels that he is invincible.

Sichuan is not only a land of abundance, rich in resources, but also has the Shu Road, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Zhang Xianzhong has a sense of security when he gets Sichuan. At least Sichuan is in his hands. force.

Moreover, one of the important reasons why Zhang Xianzhong wanted to sneak into Sichuan instead of plotting the Central Plains was the rise of Lantian. Lantian was going straight to unify the world. If Zhang Xianzhong wanted to plot the world, he would not only have to face Li Zicheng, but also Da Ming. The army, against the Tartars, even against Lantian.

After a comprehensive comparison, Zhang Xianzhong found that among these forces, he seemed to be the weakest.

So it's better to go directly to Sichuan and become the king of Sichuan.

As for the presence of Qin Liangyu and the old lady Qin in Sichuan, this is not important to Zhang Xianzhong. No matter how fierce an old woman is, can she be more fierce than Lantian?
Therefore, when Zhang Xianzhong brought Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi's three adopted sons to plan to enter Sichuan, the messenger sent back this important information, and Lu Xiangsheng was beheaded by Chongzhen.

Zhang Xianzhong was also very surprised when he heard the news, but after the surprise, he was not as incredible as Li Zicheng. On the contrary, he even understood Chongzhen's approach. .

For example, wasn't that how he treated Li Dingguo back then?
Li Dingguo's position in Zhang Xianzhong's army was even more important than Lu Xiangsheng's in the Ming Dynasty, but didn't he take him down cleanly, and almost killed him?
It's a pity that Li Dingguo ran away because of a bad move, and ended up in Lantian, where he became his confidant. Thinking differently, if Zhang Xianzhong was Chongzhen, and he gave Lu Xiangsheng several orders, and he still resisted and refused to obey, then He must not show any appeasement to Lu Xiangsheng, after all, a disobedient general is a ticking time bomb for the monarch.

After Zhang Xianzhong listened to the messenger's report, a complicated expression flashed across his face. After a long time, Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said, "How, what do you think about Lu Xiangsheng's death?"

After listening to Zhang Xianzhong's question, Liu Wenxiu said: "Lu Xiangsheng is one of the few generals in the Ming Dynasty who can fight. Now that the faint king kills him, it is tantamount to cutting off his own arm. In the next war, there will be times when the dog emperor cries. .”

Ai Nengqi heard and said: "Lu Xiangsheng is a character, it's a pity."

Zhang Xianzhong was not very satisfied after hearing the two people's words. These things had little to do with Zhang Xianzhong, and he didn't take them seriously. What he was more interested in now was the positive impact this incident had on him.

Zhang Xianzhong turned his head to look at Sun Kewang, whom he had given high hopes for. Sun Kewang was indeed Zhang Xianzhong's No. [-] seed player. The moment Zhang Xianzhong looked over, he said, "Father, I think Lu Xiangsheng's death is a great opportunity for us."

"Oh, how do you see it?"

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Sun Kewang, Sun Kewang pondered for a moment, cleared his mind and said, "Father, first of all, as a whole, once Lu Xiangsheng died, Ming Dynasty lacked a major general, and Lu Xiangsheng still died with the Tianxiong Army this time. The Tianxiong Army and Xuanfu Datong will not be guarded by anyone, but if you want to guard a border like Xuanda, you must choose a good general, and the only ones who can take up this role in the entire Ming Dynasty are Zuo Liangyu and Sun Chuanting."

Liu Wenxiu heard the words and said, "Can't Shandong Liu Zeqing do it?"

Sun Kewang said: "This man has great ambitions and talents, and he can't be used. Chongzhen is not stupid. He knows that the border is an important place, and he must send a reliable general, so he will choose one of Sun Chuanting and Zuo Liangyu!"

Ai Nengqi said: "Then who will he choose? It would be great if he chooses Sun Chuanting."

Sun Kewang said: "He must choose Sun Chuanting. Now in the eyes of Chongzhen, there are two unstable factors in the world. One is the Tartars in Liaodong, and the other is Lantian in the northwest. Needless to say, in Liaodong, the 10,000+ army looks There, and Lantian must choose a general to watch from the side, this person Chongzhen can't send a bag of wine and food, so he must choose from Zuo Liangyu and Sun Chuanting."

"As for these two people, Sun Chuanting is close to Lantian, and the Qin army under his command is full of Lantian people. Chongzhen dare not take the risk of letting Sun Chuanting monitor them. After all, the suspicion of them guarding themselves and stealing cannot be ruled out."

"And Zuo Liangyu is great. The last time Zuo Liangyu, Yang Sichang, and we conspired against Lantian County, Li Chaosheng killed the whole family and left him with a useless son. It can be described as cruel. , and even stabbed one of Zuo Liangyu's eyes blind. Such a blood feud, in the eyes of Chongzhen, is a reliable performance, so if Chongzhen does not fail to trick, he will definitely send Sun Chuanting to succeed the governor of Xuanda and consolidate the border defense , Zuo Liangyu continued to garrison Tongguan, watching Li Chaosheng."

After hearing Sun Kewang's words, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes became sharper, and he said with a smile: "Oh, Kewang, you mean that Sun Chuanting is going to be transferred from Hubei."

Sun Kewang smiled and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten."

Zhang Xianzhong cracked his mouth and said, "That's great. As long as this old man Sun Chuanting leaves Hubei, we won't have to be trapped in Gu County. When the time comes to regroup the army, we will surely be able to rebuild our dominance."

Sun Kewang said: "Father Yi is right, and this is not the best thing. The best thing is that once Lu Xiangsheng dies, there will be no generals in the Central Plains who can be alone. At this time, Father Father's old opponent will not just watch. There's bound to be some trouble."

"Oh, you mean Li Zicheng will rise up again?"

Sun Kewang said: "As long as Li Zicheng still wants to rebel, he will definitely not miss this opportunity."

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Yes, Li Hongji is not a cheap lamp, he must not be able to bear the loneliness, he will definitely get into trouble again, he will definitely."

Zhang Xianzhong said excitedly that he knew Li Zicheng too well. Although he and Li Zicheng did not see each other, and even hated each other, they also knew each other best. They were both unwilling to be mediocre. If the opportunity was right, they would never Let go of this great opportunity.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong said: "Li Zicheng revolted again in Shanxi, so his goal must be to the east, and to the west is Lantian. Li Zicheng has no courage to fight against Lantian, so his goal must be Henan and Shandong. At that time, Li Zicheng mixed up the water in the Central Plains, so we can take the opportunity to attack Sichuan. At that time, the power of the Ming Dynasty must be concentrated in the Central Plains, and there is no space to control us, so we can calmly attack Sichuan and enter Sichuan. Our happy life almost there."

After hearing this, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi's eyes lit up. If they win Sichuan, they will have a base, and good times are coming!
