Chapter 200 Li Chuang’s situation, the lady persuades him to take a concubine

Song Xiance came in dusty.

"Meet the commander."

Liu Sheng nodded, "Counsellor Song, thank you for your hard work on this mission - how did Li Zicheng respond to the matter of joining forces?"

Song Xiance looked embarrassed, but he still took out a letter and said, "This is Li Zicheng's reply to the commander-in-chief."

After the personal guard took the letter and handed it to Liu Sheng, Song Xiance said angrily: "Li Zicheng is so arrogant that he actually asked the general to recognize him as the leader of the alliance. He also said that he would only send troops to Kaifeng first before the general would send troops."

Liu Sheng read Li Zicheng's letters and found that most of the elegant letters were not written by Li Zicheng himself.

The main content of the letter is similar to what Song Xiance said.

It is possible to join forces to deal with the government and the army, but the Wei tribe must recognize Li Zi as the leader of the alliance, but they also require the Wei tribe to send troops to Kaifeng Mansion first.

He looked like he wanted to take advantage of everything.

Now that the Yibu relied on its own strength to break through the Ming army's encirclement and suppression, Liu Sheng no longer cared about whether Li Zicheng sent troops to open the seal.

After reading the letter, he was not angry and asked with a smile: "You didn't tell Li Zicheng's fortune or send gold and silver to Niu Jinxing?"

Upon hearing this, Song Xiance immediately said with a mournful face: "All my subordinates did as the commander taught me, but Li Zicheng was very happy to be deceived by my theory of numerology and fortune, and wanted to keep me as his military advisor.

Niu Jinxing also accepted the hundred taels of gold from me and spoke favorably about the joint venture in front of Li Zicheng.

But there was also a military advisor under Li Zicheng, named Li Yan, who was very hostile to me.It was Li Yan who suggested that our troops should recognize Li Zi as the leader of the alliance. "

Is there really Li Yan under Li Zicheng?

Liu Sheng was slightly surprised at first, then relieved.

After all, the red lady has appeared, so it is not unusual to have Li Yan.

As for whether these two people will exist in the real history of later generations, it is not something he considers - after all, time travel has happened, so what do other strange things count?

After coming back to his senses, Liu Sheng asked: "Then it was Li Yan who asked us to send troops first?"

If both items were mentioned by Li Yan, Liu Sheng felt that this person's vision was probably not as high as what was said in later unofficial histories.

After all, from the overall perspective, the various rebel armies should join forces to overthrow Zhu Ming's rule as soon as possible.

Li Chuang wants to be the leader of the alliance but does not show the demeanor of the leader. It is really not smart.

Song Xiance shook his head, "It was Li Zicheng who insisted on our troops sending troops first. Li Yan was opposed to this, but it's a pity that Li Zicheng didn't listen."

Liu Sheng smiled and nodded, walked down and patted the dust on Song Xiance's shoulders. Song Xiance immediately felt that his bones were a little lighter and his heart was relieved.

He didn't do his job well this time, and he had been worried about being scolded by Liu Sheng.

"Old Song, since Li Zicheng appreciates you so much and wants to keep you as a military advisor, why didn't you stay?"

Song Xiance heard this and said quickly: "The commander-in-chief is joking. Although his subordinates are martial arts magicians, they also know loyalty. Since they have surrendered to the commander-in-chief, how can they betray Li Zicheng?
What's more, when my subordinates went to Luoyang this time, what they saw and heard made them feel that Li Chuang's tribe was too different from ours, and it was definitely not possible to accomplish anything. "

What Song Xiance said here was not entirely true.

He really felt that the situation under Li Zicheng was far worse than that under Wei Bu.

But when Li Zicheng asked him to be a military advisor, he was indeed moved.

Because he is currently a counselor in the General Staff Department in the Weibu Department, and he has been advising the military staff of the Fifth Brigade in Ruyang before. He is still far from a real military advisor.

However, considering that the Li Chuang tribe was indeed inferior to the Wei tribe and his family was in Ruyang, he reluctantly refused Li Zicheng's recruitment.

Liu Sheng returned to the commander's seat and said with a smile: "I have written down all the credit for your mission. After you get down, write down what you saw on the way and at Li Chuang's Ministry. The more detailed the better."

"Yes."

Although Song Xiance's ability was average, he was still very active in his work. Two days later, he submitted a tens of thousands of words of "Envoy Li Chuang's Experience and Information".

Combining this record of observations and some information obtained by Xunfengwei, Liu Sheng had a basic understanding of the current situation of Li Chuang's department, Henan Prefecture, and Ruzhou.

First of all, Li Chuang currently only occupies part of Henan Prefecture, mainly the valleys of the three river systems of Gushui, Luoshui and Yishui.

There are only ten cities above the county level, namely Luoyang, Yanshi, Mengjin, Xin'an, Mianchi, Yiyang, Yongning, Lushi, Songxian, and Yiyang in Ruzhou.

Shaanzhou, Lingbao, Luxiang counties in the northwest of Henan Prefecture, Tongguan, and Gong County in the east were all in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Dengfeng in the southwest is ruled by local bandit Li Jiyu, and has not yet taken refuge with Li Chuang.

In addition, Xunfengwei also discovered that Luo Rucai's tribe did not join Zhang Xianzhong after leaving Yunyang Prefecture, but instead entrenched themselves in the Xichuan area of ​​Nanyang Prefecture.

If Li Zicheng does not open the Feng Mansion, then according to the current trend, he is likely to go south to join Luo Rucai and attack Nanyang Mansion, just like in history.

Liu Sheng remembered that in history, Luo Rucai first joined forces with Zhang Xianzhong to attack Nanyang Mansion, and then joined forces with Li Zicheng to attack Nanyang, but both failed.

Because at that time, Governor Yang Wenyue entered Nanyang from Runing, and the Qin army left Tongguan and entered Nanyang through Henan Prefecture, it seemed that they were on a draw with Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai.

As for Zuo Liangyu, he first took advantage of Xiangyang, and then went to Runing to pursue his old rival Zhang Xianzhong.

The situation today is very different from that in history.

Yang Wenyue's tribe was blocked by the Wei tribe in Kaifeng Mansion, while Zuo Liangyu chased Zhang Xianzhong to Huangzhou Mansion.If the Qin army did not move south, Li Zicheng would have no serious enemies in Nanyang.

However, according to Song Xiance's records, Li Zicheng was shot out of one eye when he attacked Kaifeng and is still recovering.

In addition, epidemics are also prevalent in Henan Prefecture.

Li Zicheng's so-called 30 supporters were mostly hungry people and bandits. There were hundreds to thousands of people holding one share, and there were also thousands and tens of thousands of people holding one share.

They did not fully obey Li Zicheng's orders, and Li Zicheng did not control their food and drink like his real subordinates.Many "rebels" were originally starved of food and were in a state where they would have no tomorrow after eating today.

In this case, once the epidemic arrives, it spreads rapidly.

On Song Xiance's way back, many of the "rebels" who were entrenched in one place suffered a large number of deaths due to the epidemic - although the epidemic is the most common disease, it can also kill many people if there is a lack of medicine.

Therefore, during the period of March and April, apart from Li Zicheng who needed to recuperate, Li Chuang's troops would mainly fight against the epidemic and take the opportunity to digest and absorb the many "rebels" who were nominally attached to Li Chuang.

In other words, it is unlikely that Li Zicheng will send a large number of troops to Kaifeng or Nanyang during this period.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng came to the military map hanging in the tent and looked at Nanyang Mansion.

'According to this analysis, the best time for our troops to send troops to Nanyang should be after the summer harvest! '

···
On the first day of May, Liu Sheng returned to Ruyang with his personal guards.

After that, he spent three or four days to handle some necessary military and political affairs at the Generalissimo's Mansion in Ruyang, so that he could return to Queshan with the Xiaoqi Guards on the fifth day of May.

Dashuai Xingyuan (Zhou family mansion).

Liu Sheng looked through various documents in the study and found that the Red Lady has been dealing with military and political affairs recently. Although the number is not large, she has basically never stopped.

He immediately took the red lady's hand and sat down, saying: "You are pregnant now after all. Although you haven't shown your pregnancy yet, you are not suitable for hard work. How about I arrange for someone to take over the military and political affairs of Queshan and the fourth brigade?"

The red lady smiled when she heard this and said: "The administrative affairs of Queshan County are mainly handled by Cai Zhixian, and the military and political affairs of the Fourth Brigade are also handled by the third brother and several regiment-level generals. How can I be tired?

However, if my husband really has a suitable person to take over, I would like to stay in North America for a while. "

When Liu Sheng heard this, he knew that Lady Hong was worried that her continued command of the Fourth Brigade would make him have the idea of ​​​​"intervening in politics in the harem", so she had a grudge.

Liu Sheng thought it would be better to talk about this matter.

He thought for a while and said, "Don't think too much. I don't mind you serving as the chief officer of the army. It's just that you are pregnant now, and many military affairs are really inconvenient to handle."

As for going to North America - I'm worried about the consequences of walking through that door while pregnant, so it's best not to go. "

The matchmaker asked: "Are there no pregnant women among the refugees who migrated before?"

"Of course there is. But even if the first one migrated there, it has only been a year now, and many things are still unclear.

You can continue to stay in Queshan to raise your baby, and just leave most of the general affairs to Zhang Guying. "

"Ah."

The red lady nodded and snuggled into Liu Sheng's arms.

After becoming pregnant, the red lady became obviously more docile and became more dependent on Liu Sheng.Of course, the tenacity and tenacity in the bones will not change.

After a while, the red lady felt something and suddenly her face turned red.

Then another thing came to mind.

"Why don't you, husband, accept another girl? Xiangyun will be great.

She has been following you for a long time, and she often lives in the villa. There have been many rumors outside.

If her husband doesn't accept her, she might never be able to get married in her life.In that case, the husband harmed him. "

Liu Sheng smiled after hearing this, raised the red lady's round and attractive chin with one hand, and said, "Other women hope that their husbands will pamper them alone. Why do you seem to be afraid that I won't take a concubine?"

The red lady snorted: "If I don't let you take a concubine, why don't you?"

"I won't accept if you have more children."

"No," the red lady sat upright and said seriously: "I don't want to be that jealous lady who only stares at her husband. As long as my husband lets me do things, and he has the ability, he can accept as much as he wants.

I just hope that your husband knows it well and doesn’t betray the girl who treats you sincerely. "

Liu Sheng was moved after hearing this.

He has little experience in chasing women, but he has heard about it in later generations, but he also knows that as a descendant, being able to marry such a wife is a blessing earned in eight lifetimes.

So he took the red lady into his arms, silently and tenderly.

At this moment, silence is better than sound...
Three days later, Liu Sheng took Hong Niangzi back to Tianmu Mountain.

The red lady's physical condition is already good, and she also managed well during the two months she spent in Queshan after her pregnancy.

The mountain road in Tianmu Mountain is not difficult and dangerous, and Liu Sheng also arranged for her to take a rest at any time. Taking her for a walk on the mountain road will not affect the fetus and can also relax her mind.

After arriving at Tianmu Mountain, Liu Sheng and the Red Lady slowly visited Xiaoli Village, Dashui Ping Village, and Liujia Village, and finally entered the Fangshan Cave and returned to the villa.

"Commander, ma'am."

Because Liu Sheng didn't notify them in advance, Li Xiangyun didn't know until they came in, and hurriedly greeted them with greetings.

The red lady stepped forward and held one of Li Xiangyun's hands, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year. Sister Xiangyun has become more and more charming."

Li Xiangyun's pretty face turned slightly red, "I haven't congratulated Madam on her pregnancy yet."

When Liu Sheng saw the red lady looking like she was going to take Li Xiangyun to sit on the sofa and chat, he inexplicably thought of the word "Orange is great", so he coughed and said, "Madam, you'd better follow me upstairs first."

Liu Sheng took the Red Lady back to Tianmu Mountain this time mainly because he wanted to take the Red Lady upstairs to have a look.

Although the red lady is married to him and knows that he comes from the later generations, she has never been to the second floor of the villa so far.

　Second more.

　　Good night~
