Aspiration

Chapter 57 Li Zicheng's Viciousness
With a light catch, Li Laiheng caught Liu Guoneng's head and hung it on the iron hook under the horse's neck.Clenching his feet, he patted the horse's back lightly, and the bay red horse made a beautiful arc and turned a sharp turn.

At this moment, the valley suddenly shouted and thundered, and there were as many as [-] soldiers in ambush on all sides.

Li Laiheng was single-handed, and he glanced at the thirty or so horses galloping diagonally across.He hadn't used the throwing knife since crossing, and now it's time to make a move.His posture in throwing the throwing knife is very special, like chopping, raising his right hand, holding the throwing knife in his hand, and slashing down fiercely.Of course, the target of chopping is not in front of the eyes, but far away, and only this posture can hit far away.Fifty steps away, his throwing knife shot straight at the door.

In an instant, seven cavalrymen fell off their horses. They blocked the cavalry behind them, not only blocking the way, but also tripping the horses behind.Li Laiheng didn't stop, he arrived at the mouth of the valley before the cavalry arrived to block the way.

A human wall at Taniguchi, spears, armor, and heavy infantry.

It doesn't matter, the heavy infantry has a solution.

Ten of Li Laiheng's personal soldiers had ten hook ropes. They swung and pulled in from the mouth of the valley. The iron hooks hooked into the skin of the infantry's chest and neck. The pain was unbearable. They could only fall backward along the direction of the rope pull. , poured by one person, followed by a string.Ten people are hung upside down, and ten strings of people are one piece.Li Laiheng was lying alive on the ground, and in an instant, he was out of Wang Jiachong.

Ten personal soldiers followed closely behind Li Laiheng's horse, and the eleven disappeared in the distance.

Liu Guoneng's head was placed at Zhang Xianzhong's feet.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Liu Guoneng's head for a long time.He lightly kicked Liu Guoneng's head with his boots, "Didn't expect us to meet like this, did you? Hang it on the flagpole and show it to the public for three days."

After Zhang Xianzhong gave his orders, he turned around and said to Li Laiheng, "Zicheng is here?"

"Back to Commander, King Chuang ordered me to give him a big gift. King Chuang is going to come here to cooperate with you in the battle."

Grandma's, cooperate with me?You have [-] troops, come to me and take shelter from the wind.However, he also knew that if Li Zicheng moved closer to him, there would be no gap between them, and the officers and soldiers would not be able to break through individually. This would be beneficial to both Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

"Okay. King Chuang has reached that position? What is his next plan?"

"I'm waiting for your order."

"Ah? Oh, how do you say that? Alright, settle down first, choose a time, I will pay a visit to King Chuang, and discuss future actions by the way."

very eloquent.It's so beautiful to say.

Li Zicheng went to the camp [-] miles away from Zhang Xianzhong's camp, and [-] soldiers and horses were divided into three camps, and the finished characters were formed.

At this time, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, had to guard against the sneak attack of officers and soldiers, as well as the internal annexation of the peasant army.Being extra careful is not being narrow-minded, let alone having any psychological persecution. It is normal to be extra cautious at this time.Since the peasant uprising in the Northwest, there has always been a habit of the big eating the small, the strong eating the weak, annexing each other, and fighting each other.Get used to it.Later, although the peasant army came to their senses, this phenomenon gradually decreased.However, deep down, the peasant army has a subconscious mind to use brutal and bloody means to strengthen itself, so be careful, it is the way of survival taught to his family by the cruel reality.

Zhang Xianzhong almost completed an annexation in Gucheng.

This time, what will Zhang Xianzhong's attitude be with the goods delivered to the door?
Li Zicheng instructed that Li Guoqian's military camp should pay special attention to guarding against Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses. Before he saw Zhang Xianzhong, he would never believe that Zhang Xianzhong would take care of the overall situation.

Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin both acted with Li Guoqian's army, which is convenient for command.They knew that in such a situation, when encountering a war, the former army had to resolve the battle, intertwined, and the entire army would be dragged down.In other words, if you don't fight or fight, the former army must work hard to resolve the battle.Now, Li Zicheng has only 3000 soldiers in total, and the 2000 soldiers led by Li Guo are all elite soldiers, almost all of Li Zicheng's belongings.Yuan Zongdi led more than [-] infantry, which could only be regarded as a reserve team at best, not to mention the more than [-] people with high meritorious service. The people he led were actually logistics, family members, the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

After Li Guo camped, it was already dark.

Li Zicheng came to Liu Zongmin's place and saw that his injury had healed up a lot, and he was relieved a lot.

"Chief whistle, do you think that Zhang Xianzhong will join us?" Li Zicheng was uneasy, knowing that Liu Zongmin couldn't say anything, but he always had something to say when we met, so he asked this serious question. .

Liu Zongmin was straightforward, and he answered very simply, "It was possible in the past, but it is impossible now."

Unexpectedly, Liu Zongmin would answer so decisively.Liu Zongmin thought a lot in the hospital bed these days, and felt that this move was a last resort. It was a good plan to go south to avoid the sharp edge of the officers and soldiers, and to escape the wind here.However, it is impossible to unite with Zhang Xianzhong to fight against the enemy, unless we accept the adaptation of Zhang Xianzhong.

Li Zicheng also thought of this level, but years of combat experience told him that this time, only with the help of Zhang Xianzhong could it be possible to break through the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers.Zhang Xianzhong was newly defeated, and he should have seen the necessity of cooperation. Therefore, Li Zicheng believed that there was a basis for cooperation.

"General Sensei, we have to give it a try. Maybe Zhang Xianzhong has seen the overall situation clearly, and it is unknown if he can join forces with us." Li Zicheng said.

"Brother Li, just think the same as you. Who is Zhang Xianzhong? He's a fine man. Wouldn't he know the story of the Hongmen Banquet back then? Also, Liu Bei's borrowing of Jingzhou was a drama, wouldn't he know? Let me tell you, This is how we are. We stay close to them and understand what is going on in our hearts. When the officers and soldiers come, we go around and stand by them. When there is an emergency, we will naturally take care of them. When they have difficulties, we also help them. .”

Li Zicheng laughed and said, "This is the middle strategy I've considered. Yes, it's very likely that the ending will be like this."

Liu Zongmin said: "Brother Li's best strategy is naturally to join forces with Zhang Xianzhong to fight against the enemy. Then, what is the next strategy? May I ask Brother Li, what else is he planning?"

Li Zicheng was about to say that Li Laiheng came in.

"King Chuang, chief sentry, Zhang Xianzhong will come to visit tomorrow morning." Li Laiheng came to report this matter.

The surprise of Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin was no small matter, and they asked in surprise, "Is he really here to visit?"

They are worried about Zhang Xianzhong's visit.Why?Reciprocity has been emphasized since ancient times. If he came to visit, then, out of basic courtesy, Li Zicheng must also pay a return visit in the other party's camp.In this case, the stronger party has the initiative, and it is up to him to kill or cut.

Li Zicheng was thinking.Liu Zongmin seemed to have a glint of evil in his eyes.Li Laiheng was startled, he wouldn't do stupid things, would he?

Liu Zongmin was really thinking, isn't Zhang Xianzhong doing this clearly to be Li Zicheng?Since he is not benevolent, I will be unrighteous. Why not kill him at this time?

hero of the bush.What is a reckless hero?This is the reckless hero.

Li Zicheng seemed to be making a big decision, hesitant to make a decision.

"Chuangwang, don't worry, I'm sure nothing will happen." Li Laiheng said.

Li Zicheng didn't seem to hear these words, and he didn't seem to be interested. He let out an "um" in his nose and was still thinking.

Liu Zongmin suddenly asked: "Brother Li, how did you prepare for your worst plan?"

A sly smile appeared on the corner of Li Zicheng's mouth.Li Laiheng trembled in his heart, thinking, it has been like this since ancient times, it is difficult to not be cruel when doing big things.He knew the viciousness and cruelty in Li Zicheng's smile.

Li Zicheng went south and prepared three strategies. The best strategy was to join forces with Zhang Xianzhong to defeat the officers and soldiers; When the first two possibilities did not exist, he, Li Zicheng, broke up into pieces. He hid in the Dabie Mountains, warmed himself by the fire, ate mutton, and threw the officers and soldiers to Zhang Xianzhong. , He called up the old department again and came out of the mountain again.

A bad policy is a bad policy for Li Zicheng. The cost of breaking it down into parts is [-] yuan. In the end, it may only be two thousand or three thousand; People, whether they can bear it or not, don't care about those who lose it, so this strategy is somewhat immoral.

There is no way, people often have some immoral moments.

In Zhang Xianzhong's camp, Zhang Xianzhong let out a loud haha.

"Why is the emperor's brother so arrogant? He has already brought out his old books? Military strategist, have you figured out a way to defeat the enemy?" Zhang Xianzhong looked at the military strategist Xu Yixian and asked.

"Back to Commander, one sheep (Yang Sichang) is nothing to worry about. There are three strategies to defeat the enemy, and choosing one strategy is enough to defeat the enemy. But now there is a tiger, which is a little troublesome." Xu Yixian smiled and said with a scheming expression. He stared at Zhang Xianzhong and said.

Of course Zhang Xianzhong knew what was going on in his mind, and scolded: "You stinky scholars, your mouth is full of Confucian benevolence and morality, but your heart is very dirty. I tell you, Li Zicheng came to join us, and no one can do it." Touch him. Don't do anything immoral behind Lao Tzu's back, and visit him with me tomorrow."

"That's why I said that a sheep is not enough to be afraid of, but a tiger is troublesome. Marshal, if you go to visit tomorrow, do you just go to the next visit?" Xu Yixian smiled sinisterly.

"Huh? I have a friend from afar. Is there any other reason to visit? Don't think about it, the war is coming, and the officers and soldiers are our enemies."

After speaking, he laughed again.Xu Yixian rolled his eyes and burst out laughing.

Li Laiheng arranged for more than a dozen soldiers to stand guard outside the camp of the Chinese army.Usually, Li Zicheng's security work is arranged by Li Shuangxi. Today, he asked Li Zicheng for instructions, and his people will be in charge of the security.

Li Zicheng didn't believe that others would do anything out of the ordinary, and he wasn't worried that Zhang Xianzhong would dare to do stupid things in Li Zicheng's camp, but since Li Laiheng had this request, he followed him.

Now, unconsciously, Li Zicheng's surroundings became Li Laiheng's people.The guards are on duty in turn, and they are all soldiers. Who remembers who is who?
Sure enough, Zhang Xianzhong came on time.Zhang Xianzhong came to visit Li Zicheng, and the standard was so high that Li Zicheng did not expect it.Zhang Xianzhong brought all his main generals and important advisers, which Li Zicheng did not expect.Zhang Kewang didn't come, Zhang Xianzhong explained as soon as they met, saying that he was busy with military affairs and the enemy was present, so he couldn't leave the camp.It is easy to understand that Zhang Kewang is Zhang Xianzhong's first main force.

When old friends meet, they naturally have endless things to say.Most of the generals knew each other, so when they met, it was very lively.

Eating meat in large chunks and drinking in large bowls is the realm pursued by a reckless hero. Naturally, he drank like crazy and ate happily today.

After a while of excitement, Zhang Xianzhong looked at the sky and knew that it was time to get down to business.He glanced at Xu Yixian, raised his glass, and slowly glanced at everyone's faces, and then said a few shocking words, which shocked everyone present.
