Aspiration

Chapter 94 Attacking Luoyang
Li Laiheng broke through four cities in three days, alarming everyone in Deshengzhai.They didn't expect it to be so easy to attack the city, and at the same time they were amazed that Li Laiheng's attack speed was so fast.

Li Yan was the most surprised.

In Li Yan's eyes, Li Zicheng's subordinates are like clouds, and civil servants also include Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance.But there are not many people he admires, Tian Jianxiu is one of them, now, he has to admire Li Laiheng.

That night, when he heard that Li Laiheng had broken through several cities and couldn't fall asleep, he felt that there should be a future for him to fight with King Chuang.A 20-year-old boy can do this. I, Li Yan, am conceited to be knowledgeable and proficient in martial arts. Why can't I do more for King Chuang?

Unable to fall asleep, he decided not to sleep at all, picked up a pen, and wrote down some sentences as slogans to spread among the people.

He wrote the first nursery rhyme: "Eat his mother, wear his mother, open the city gate to welcome the king of Chuang, and he will not pay the food when the king of Chuang comes."

After writing the first song, I thought about it again, and then wrote the second song: "Seeking promotion in the morning and seeking harmony in the evening. Recently, it is difficult for the poor to survive. Open the door early and break into the king, and the discipline is happy."

With these two nursery rhymes, he wrote some easy-to-understand words and sentences. After being approved by King Chuang, he asked the troops to recite them everywhere, especially the scouts and elaborations, and taught children to sing them inside and outside the city.

The next day, Li Yan showed Li Zicheng what he had written last night, plus some strategies for thinking. Li Zicheng was very happy, and even said that he was a great scholar.After speaking, Li Zicheng said to Li Yan: "What do you think of Mr. Niu?"

Li Yan was taken aback.Why did Li Zicheng suddenly ask this question?He didn't dare to guess wildly, and quickly said: "Master Niu has a great talent, and he is a pillar of talent."

Li Zicheng stared at Li Yan for a while, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.In fact, Li Zicheng at this time was evaluating who was more capable, Niu Jinxing or Li Yan.

He is planning the bureaucratic system established by the new dynasty.Who will be his prime minister, he chooses between Li Yan and Niu Jinxing.

Li Laiheng was preparing to attack Dengfeng.He heard the nursery rhymes written by Li Yan from Deshengzhai, and immediately taught all the soldiers.

Although Liu Zongmin and other generals thought it was a literati's little trick and was meaningless, Li Laiheng knew that these nursery rhymes played a huge role. He realized during the great revolution in the [-]th century that the role of propaganda is very influential.He remembered that the famous Jinggangshan slogan changed the whole of China.

A slogan "beat the local tyrants and divide the land" has caused many poor people to rush into this torrent.

Li Yan, not a simple character, has a great talent.Li Laiheng identified this person, he thought, history cannot be allowed to repeat itself, Li Yan cannot be killed by Li Zicheng again.From now on, this person is worthy of great responsibility.

Li Laiheng has two people who can be reused, one is Hao Yaoqi and the other is Li Yan.

Dengfeng needs a strong attack.Four cities have been broken ahead, and preparations are made here.

"Luo Hu, are you sure you can capture Dengfeng with 200 men?" Li Laiheng asked Luo Hu.Dengfeng claims to have [-] defenders, and it is estimated that there are [-] or [-] defenders.Once the front four cities are broken, the will of the Dengfeng defenders may not be much stronger.

Outside the city, a lot of people clamored and frightened the defenders inside the city. If Luo Hu's elite charge again, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Luo Hu was really looking forward to the chance to show his performance, so he hurriedly said it was fine.However, just as he finished speaking, a white flag was raised on the city wall.

Alas, what a pity, another city that surrenders without fighting.

Li Laiheng shook his head gently to Luo Hu and sighed, "Luo Hu, no wonder I am Luo, the enemy doesn't want to play with you."

Luo Hu smiled wryly.This is already the third time.

Hao Yaoqi laughed happily, and he took over nearly a thousand surrendered soldiers.In the past few days, he has been chasing Li Laiheng all the way. He has only one purpose, which is to receive surrendered soldiers and incorporate them into his team.Now, in the five cities, he has increased the number of troops to more than 4000, and none of them are recruits, but veterans.The veterans of the old fritters have an advantage, they are not easy to die, as long as the general leads the army well, their combat power is very good.

In addition, many young and middle-aged people joined the army along the way, and some hungry people saw that there was food in the army, so more people joined the army.

Before Hao Yaoqi knew it, he had another [-] troops.

"Laiheng, this time, I gave [-] soldiers and horses to King Chuang, so he must bring me [-] soldiers, right?" All flowed out.

As a general, who doesn't want to be the leader of the front army?

Li Laiheng is about to remind Hao Yaoqi, don't be too happy, King Chuang is worrying about not having enough troops, he will definitely aim at Kaifeng after defeating Luoyang, and his chance for Hao Yaoqi to lead the troops has not yet come.Suddenly, a fast horse came galloping, and a soldier handed Li Laiheng a secret order.

He opened it, turned around and said to his soldiers, "Go back to Desheng Village!"

The situation in the attack on Luoyang was not good.

As the ancient capital with the longest history, Luoyang's city walls and city defense facilities are quite solid. Henan Governor Li Fengxian has a vague premonition that something will happen to Luoyang.Although he didn't know that Li Zicheng had arrived in Henan, he didn't know that Funiu Mountain had gathered 10,000+ people, and he didn't know that they were already planning to use Luoyang as the center to manage the whole of Henan.However, as a big official in the frontier, he analyzed from the signs that something big happened in Luoyang.Especially Dengfeng and other five prefectures and counties were retaken by unidentified troops within a few days, so he was in a hurry.

Luoyang can't go wrong.Luoyang has always been the place where the capital was established; Luoyang has suppressed the head of the dragon veins in various places; Luoyang is also the land of the fiefdom of Emperor Chongzhen's uncle Fu Wang, and His Royal Highness Fu Wang is in Luoyang City.

A few days ago, someone told him that it was Li Zicheng who was going to attack Luoyang. Although he didn't believe it completely, he was still taken aback and thought, it's over. If it's true, how could this monster appear in Henan?

Li Fengxian hastily dispatched [-] elite soldiers.In this way, Luoyang has [-] defenders.A state capital of [-] defenders is no ordinary force.Together with the common people, [-] defenders guard the city, which can stop [-] troops.

The next day, Luoyang was besieged by Li Zicheng.

When Li Zicheng saw the sudden increase of Luoyang defenders, and the soldiers and civilians defending the city seemed to be fighting high, he thought that a bloody battle was inevitable.So he secretly ordered Li Laiheng to suspend his eastward march to Shandong and assist in attacking Luoyang first.

In Luoyang City, there is a big man with great military talent, who has influence in Luoyang, and he is Lu Weiqi.

Lu Weiqi, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, is nearly seventy years old and has retired to take care of himself at home.This person once served as Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, that is, the supreme commander of the Ministry of War in the shadow government of the Ming Dynasty.In Luoyang, apart from King Fu, he has the highest prestige.When he saw that Li Zicheng was besieging Luoyang, he knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly invited Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang of Zhentai, Mr. Feng, the magistrate, Master Tuiguan Wei, Mr. Zhang, the county magistrate, and several local gentry to invite him. Come to his house to discuss the defense of the city.

"To defend Luoyang, [-] generals in the city will definitely not be enough. The army and the people must be united in order to keep the city possible," said Feng Yijun, the prefect.

Nonsense, do you know?Under the city, Li Zicheng had gathered 5 horses, how could he hold the city without the help of the citizens?
However, Lu Weiqi knew that Feng Yijun must have something to say, so he encouraged: "Master Feng, the magistrate, but it's okay to say."

Feng Yijun said: "The survival of Luoyang, the local civil and military have the duty to guard the land. Feng Mou thought that the survival of this city has a great relationship with another person."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Shaoyu, the chief military officer, interjected: "Yes, if King Fu does not show up, the city will be destroyed. Because the soldiers have not been paid for eight months. The only way at present is to donate silver to King Fu. Only with silver taels can we defend the city desperately."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

They know that Fu Wang has a hobby, that is, he loves money like his life. He doesn't care whether you owe your salary or not, and it's not him who owes it. What does it matter to him?Even if it is related to him, he only knows to order the local officials to fight to the death, and he will not donate the silver taels.

Everyone dared not speak out, they pretended to be deaf and dumb, and only looked at Lu Weiqi.

What world has Lu Weiqi never seen?He smiled wryly and said, "I will be in charge of asking King Fu to lend you 5 taels of silver. However, you all know the nature of King Fu, and you will have to return the 5 taels of silver in the future. Otherwise, I won't be able to borrow it."

Fu Wangfu. Fu Wang, 38, is playing cricket.

He was in his prime, and the concubines surrounded him and pinched him here and there from time to time.Women in ancient times were also human beings, and they also needed men.

King Fu also has many concubines, but he usually eats a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas, and has all kinds of nourishing products, so his energy is still strong.

Today, Fu Wang, who was dressed in satin, was aroused by a concubine, and his lower body was raised high. He turned around and hugged her, and had fun on the toffee chair.The concubines didn't avoid it either, they just liked to watch.Wang, there is only one, and there are so many women, so most of the time they are very interested in having this kind of sex addiction. When they recall it at night, touching certain parts of themselves is also a way to pass the loneliness .

King Fu was playing vigorously, when suddenly the eunuch came to report: "Lv Weiqi, please see me."

"No! Didn't you see that this king is busy?" King Fu shouted.

"This Lu Weiqi is different today from the past. The servant said that the prince is busy, and he said, no matter how busy your Majesty is, he will still have to see you." The eunuch said.

"Bastard! How dare he be presumptuous?" After Fu Wang finished speaking, he lifted the concubine's two jade legs high, put them on his shoulders, and went to work wheezing.

"The minister kowtows to see the prince!"

An old voice came from behind King Fu.

King Fu was startled, and when he looked back, he saw Lu Weiqi kneeling on the ground, looking at what King Fu said.

Fu Wang's words were thick and long.Lu Weiqi thought, no wonder this guy also does this kind of thing during the day, he was born to breed pigs, and came to the human world to breed.

Seeing that Lu Weiqi was fascinated by his words, King Fu felt proud and not ashamed. While putting on his trousers, he said, "You old fellow is not ashamed. How do you feel about watching me enjoy myself?"

Lu Weiqi took another peek at the concubine's jade legs, white buttocks, and the faint hair covering her belly.He swallowed and said, "Your Highness, something is wrong. Li Zicheng besieged Luoyang with 5 troops."

Fu Wang said "ah".His words suddenly turned into frost-beaten eggplant, limp.
