Aspiration

Chapter 82 Song Xiance and Li Yan
Li Laiheng came out secretly.His troops at Funiu Mountain were handed over to Hao Yaoqi.Anyway, these troops were established by Hao Yaoqi, so Li Laiheng was not worried about any mistakes.

There was a reason why he suddenly left the Funiu Mountains with [-] riders.Because, discussing with Li Zicheng, the news may be leaked, and more importantly, both Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin will object.

Li Laiheng must help Zhang Kewang capture Xiangyang City.

Attacking Xiangyang kills two birds with one stone.First, to build momentum for Zhang Xianzhong, so that the court knew that Zhang Xianzhong had returned to Huguang, and made him bear most of the pressure from the officers and soldiers.Second, if Xiangyang is captured, Yang Sichang will definitely commit suicide.If there is no Yang Sichang, it can be said that the imperial court will no longer be able to send a decent supervisor. At that time, the situation of the war will have a fundamental change.

It is not far from Funiu Mountain to Xiangyang, only six or seven hundred miles away.Li Laiheng decided to hide in the valley near Zhangji Town, waiting for news from Zhang Kewang.

After Li Zicheng got the news that Zhang Kewang broke out from Sichuan, he immediately discussed with Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu for a while.They believed that when Zhang Xianzhong came out of Sichuan this time, he was bound to compete with Li Zicheng for the thirteen peasant armies in the era of King Gao Chuang.

Liu Zongmin said, quickly show your banner and show your prestige, so that Luo Rucai and others can recognize the situation and come over.He then pointed out that we now have 10,000+ elite soldiers, and we can completely sweep Henan and Shandong. We should go east out of Zhengzhou, attack Kaifeng, and reach the territory of Shandong.

Li Zicheng also had this idea, and it was time to do a big job.

"Mr. Niu, what's your opinion?" Li Zicheng has full respect for Niu Jinxing.

Niu Jinxing pondered for a while, and said: "No. Before Zhang Xianzhong can do something in Huguang, we have to hide our strength and bide our time."

Liu Zongmin glanced at Niu Jinxing in disgust, he looked down on sour scholars.

"Hide our strengths and bide our time, we have been raising them for many years. Now that we have a hundred thousand elite soldiers, when did we have such strength? Still keeping a low profile? That's cowardice!"

Liu Zongmin scolded.

Li Zicheng couldn't bear it. He respected Niu Jinxing very much, and he also knew that Liu Zongmin didn't think highly of scholars like Niu Jinxing, so he hurried to smooth things over.

"Mr. Niu's words are reasonable, and what he said is reasonable. However, we have to carefully consider what strategy we adopt. Come and send someone to invite the generals to discuss this matter." Li Zicheng ordered.

The next day, all the generals arrived.

Lee Raehyung is missing.

"Where is Laiheng?" Li Zicheng asked.

"Report to King Chuang, Li Laiheng is missing."

Li Zicheng's heart sank suddenly, thinking, Li Laiheng must have acted without authorization again.Ask Hao Yaoqi.

"Wave the flag, what did Laiheng do?"

"I don't know, he just asked me to go over and take care of his affairs for a few days." Hao Yaoqi said according to Li Laiheng's instructions.

"Huh?" Li Zicheng snorted heavily.

"King Chuang, I really don't know. Laiheng quietly left the old camp with his [-] cavalry the night before, and he left a letter for you." Hao Yaoqi quickly took out a letter and handed it to King Chuang.

Li Laiheng's letter stated his purpose and reason for attacking Xiangyang, and also included an analysis of the current situation and his suggestions for future strategies.

Li Zicheng was very angry at first, but after seeing it, he became more and more happy. He nodded with satisfaction, folded up the letter, and put it in his arms.

"From now on, General Li Laiheng's actions can be arranged by himself, and the generals are not allowed to intervene at will!"

A very domineering order.

Li Zicheng glanced at everyone majesticly, "According to Mr. Niu's opinion, keep a low profile. Without my order, you must not attack any towns or kill any imperial officials!"

It was originally a discussion, but now Li Zicheng made the decision alone.

The generals didn't understand Li Zicheng's meaning for a while, and were suspicious.Suddenly, a sergeant reported: "There is a man outside the camp who calls himself Song Xiance and asks to see him."

Li Zicheng was overjoyed, "Hurry up, all the soldiers go out to meet them!"

The military division has arrived!

Li Zicheng had thought about it a long time ago. He wanted to worship Song Xiance as his military adviser. This was not only his own idea, but also Niu Jinxing's strong recommendation. So proficient.In particular, he has a deep research on the art of war. He is quite famous in the Jianghu. The reason why he came to join Li Zicheng was not only because Li Zicheng invited him, but also because he thought that the one who won the world in the future must be Li Zicheng. Song Xian Chou obtained a fragmentary backstory from a deceased friend. This book is a famous book of prophecies, and one of the prophecies is that Li Zicheng will win the world.There is a picture and a few lines of poems drawn in the book. In the picture, a giant shoots a beauty with a bow. The beauty is riding on a big pig. A few lines of poems are written under the picture: "The beauty is dead and the chaos is over, and the master of the eighteen sons Artifact. There are a few seven-syllable poems in the back: Dragons and tigers fight all over the world, who is the hero to show his dominance. Eighteen children sit on the top, and Kyushu is in chaos. Li Jizhu. Isn't this prophesying that Li Zicheng will speak the world?

Song Xiance firmly believed in Li Zicheng's success in the world, so when he heard that Li Zicheng had come out of the mountain, he hurried to find him. As soon as Song Xiance arrived, he mysteriously dedicated the picture of the back of this ancient book to Li Zicheng Li Zicheng was overjoyed when he saw it. The generals around him took turns to watch, and they were all ecstatic. "Top secret! Top secret!"

After Niu Jinxing finished watching, he whispered to the surrounding generals that there was no doubt about the matter of conquering the world. Li Jizhu couldn't have said it more clearly. It's just that this matter cannot be spread outside the public for the time being, absolutely not. Let Emperor Chongzhen know, once the imperial court finds out about this, they will do everything possible to destroy it, and will use all the power of the imperial court on us.

When everyone heard it, they knew it was true.The imperial court will not only send troops to attack, but also find ways to dig out dragon veins and destroy Feng Shui.

Song Xiance made such a great contribution when he first arrived, and his position can be regarded as established.

The matter of worshiping as a military adviser is only waiting for a good day.He was very happy.

Li Zicheng couldn't sleep, he was too excited. Although he had the ambition to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, he always felt that it was a very distant thing, and it was impossible for him to be fully sure whether he could achieve his goal in the future.Now, Song Xiance has brought back the picture of the back of the ancient book, on which it is clearly drawn and written that the one who wins the world is Li Zicheng, can you not be excited?
Liu Zongmin was also very happy. He drank two pots of shochu with Li Zicheng, and he was a little drunk. He said, "Brother Li, although we persevered in the past, how could we have thought that thousands of years ago, God had already destined you to What about becoming the next generation of kings after the Zhu family? I think, while Yang Sichang is still far away in Sichuan, we should quickly recruit troops, expand the army, spread the banner, and become king as soon as possible, so that we can command the world."

Li Zicheng was moved.He felt that if he was going to be king anyway, he should become king sooner.I thought to myself, I don't know what Mr. Niu thinks.

Niu Jinxing came, and he suggested: "At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had a counselor named Zhu Sheng. He saw that the rebels who opposed the Yuan all over the country became king one after another, so he suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang: build high walls, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king. Later, the real The one who becomes the king is the one who becomes the last king. Niu thinks that King Chuang can still adopt this strategy."

Hearing what Niu Jinxing said, although Li Zicheng was upset, he felt that it made sense, especially that Li Laiheng's letter to him clearly stated his future strategy, which meant the same thing, and it was a truth, not to be eager for strength.

Li Zicheng's eagerness to become king was finally suppressed, and he began to plan to worship Song Xiance as a military adviser.

It is not a casual thing to do obeisance to a military adviser. First, you have to choose an auspicious time, second, you have to invite Taoist priests to perform rituals, and then you have to hold a grand ceremony.

Song Xiance didn't give in. He thought to himself that under Chuang Wang's subordinates, he was a latecomer. In order not to be looked down upon by the generals, a grand ceremony was necessary.Back then, as a junior officer, Han Xin came to the altar to worship the general?Today, Li Zicheng also worshiped himself as a military adviser, and since then, his position in the army has also laid the foundation.

It's settled.Niu Jinxing presided over the specific work.

At this time, news suddenly came that Zhang Xianzhong broke through the encirclement and entered Huguang.But at this time, a man from Henan surnamed Li sent someone to see King Chuang.

The visitor said that Mr. Li from Qixian County, Henan Province, and Li Yan led troops to join King Chuang.

Who is Mr. Li from Qi County?
Song Xiance quickly said, I know this person, he is talented in literature and military strategy, and has the talent of a general.He introduced that this man is the son of a rich family in Qi County, he has read a lot, is skilled in martial arts, has the ability to lead the army, and has local management skills.This man got acquainted with a strange woman, an entertainer named Hong Niangzi.Although this red lady is a girl, she is skilled in bowing and riding horses, and she is extremely beautiful.Because she was doing art in Kaifeng, she was spotted by a dude. She performed art but not her body, and beat up the official boy, so she was arrested by officers and soldiers.Mr. Li tried to save money by bribing local officials first, but if he failed, he led the villagers to jail in Kaifeng.

When Li Zicheng heard that another talent came to join him, he was very happy.

However, while Li Zicheng was happy, there was something strange in his heart, and he couldn't tell the reason.
