Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 325 Forced by the Situation (Addition 511 for Ziyuehua Qing leader)

Only Xu Yixian said with a serious expression: "What is the strength of the imperial army? It has a great impact on us. We must find out. For this reason, my subordinates suggested that we send trusted and capable people to the north. Or the capital is also fine, in short, we must find out the situation. This is also in line with the law of war, knowing yourself and the enemy, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles!"

Zhang Xianzhong listened, and nodded equally seriously.

If it was the past, he wouldn't have spent so much energy on this matter.If the court officials and army are strong, they will be strong, and at worst, they can slip away if they can't fight.This kind of thing has been experienced before.

However, it is different now, he has already occupied Huguang as his territory, and he obviously doesn't want to leave this land of fish and rice if it is not necessary.

At this point in time, not only Li Zicheng is changing, he doesn't want to just be a thief, even Zhang Xianzhong is no exception.Their ambition at this time is already in the world.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xianzhong asked Xu Yixian, "In the opinion of the military adviser, who should we send?"

Xu Yixian is his right-hand man, a think tank, and he can't leave.Therefore, he didn't think about it at all.

Xu Yixian obviously thought about it long ago. Hearing Zhang Xianzhong's question, he immediately replied: "This subordinate believes that the most loyal and capable subordinates of the prince are the four righteous sons of the prince. If you go to the north to inquire about news, and do things safely and reliably, your subordinates will I think Zhang Dingguo is suitable!"

Speaking of this, he saw that Zhang Xianzhong didn't seem to want to agree, so he quickly added: "This matter is of great importance, and it is better not to delay it. The sooner we can find out the strength of the imperial army, the better for us."

Zhang Xianzhong originally felt that choosing one of his four most capable adoptive sons would be overqualified, and he didn't really want to send them out.But after hearing what Xu Yixian said, it made sense.

Finally he nodded and said: "Okay, let Dingguo go there, and find out what the court is doing as soon as possible!"

After the two of them discussed it, they immediately called Zhang Dingguo, entrusted him with this task, and urged him to go back early.

After finishing this work, Zhang Xianzhong continued to ask Ji Xu Yixian, what should we do next?After all, you can't just stay here and wait for accurate news from Zhang Dingguo.

Regarding this problem, Xu Yixian was obviously very careful, and asked Zhang Xianzhong to retreat everyone in the hall, including Zhang Xianzhong's own personal guards, and then said to Zhang Xianzhong: "My lord, next, no matter how strong the court officers and troops are, there is one thing, It is what we must do in the next time!"

"Which thing?" Zhang Xianzhong asked with concern after hearing what he said solemnly.

"Order out the prince, like a commanding arm!"

Xu Yixian's eight short words seemed a little out of his mind, but Zhang Xianzhong frowned and didn't speak, as if he was in deep thought.

Obviously, Zhang Xianzhong knew what his military adviser was referring to.

After waiting for a while, Xu Yixian saw that Zhang Xianzhong seemed to be hesitating to make up his mind, so he said again: "My lord, I have never heard that it is a matter for you and me to fight for hegemony. There is only one position, and the winner There must be only one. If the imperial army suddenly becomes stronger, then when the prince wants to face the imperial army, he must do these things in order to defeat the imperial army. Even if there is no imperial imperial army, the road to hegemony is the same what!"

Speaking of this, he raised his voice a little, and said in a very confident tone: "The biggest opponent of the prince in the world is none other than King Chuang. I can guarantee that within a year, King Chuang will definitely eat him." Cao Cao's troops should be able to command one person to integrate the army, as if commanding them!"

When Zhang Xianzhong heard it, he seemed a little dissatisfied, so he retorted: "Why didn't Lao Luo eat Li Hongji?"

"It's absolutely impossible!" Xu Yixian said decisively when he heard it, "Then Luo Ru is talented and talented, and a little rich is safe. He spends half of the day on a woman's belly, so he is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of King Chuang!"

Luo Rucai is notoriously lustful.

Zhang Xianzhong thought for a while, then nodded slightly, as he agreed with Xu Yixian's statement.

When he was about to speak, Xu Yixian persuaded him earnestly: "If we annex the fifth battalion of Gezuo first and integrate the army, then we will be stronger than King Chuang's troops; but if King Chuang annexes Luo Rucai's troops first, Then we are definitely not the opponents of King Chuang. After all, our strength is inferior to theirs. Xiangyang is superior, but Huguang is a tiger. Wangye, if you don’t stop, there will be endless troubles!"

Cao Cao's unit is united with Li Zicheng's unit. Similarly, the Gezuo Fifth Battalion is a large group of thieves composed of five leaders, and it has been united with Zhang Xianzhong's unit so far.

As far as the present is concerned, the cooperative relationship between the two parties is similar to Zhang Xianzhong being the leader of the alliance, but when encountering problems, they still have to discuss with each other, and Zhang Xianzhong can't force the Fifth Battalion of Zuo.And every time a place is established, the distribution of benefits must be discussed.

Xu Yixian couldn't stand this situation anymore.To do great things, there must be only one real leader.This time, following the pressure of the powerful army from the imperial court, he once again proposed to Zhang Xianzhong to annex the Fifth Gezuo Battalion.

After finishing speaking, looking at Zhang Xianzhong's expression, he already felt that Zhang Xianzhong must be moved, so he said again: "If it is true that the imperial court's strong army will go south soon, the Gezuo Fifth Battalion will definitely not be able to have a heart with the prince. Maybe they will take the opportunity to run away, and they may not necessarily go to King Chuang. There are two of them, but they are on good terms with King Chuang."

Zhang Xianzhong is not a fool, he has his own considerations.Hearing Xu Yixian's words, combined with his own judgment on the Gezuo Fifth Battalion, he came to the conclusion that if a tough battle is really going to be fought, the Gezuo Fifth Battalion will definitely not fight to the death, and it may be that the situation is not good. The possibility of going to Li Zicheng.

This is something he absolutely does not allow!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong made a decision, with a stern look on his face, he nodded and said, "Since that is the case, what strategy does the military advisor have?"

Obviously, he agreed.

Xu Yixian was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly reported his plan to Zhang Xianzhong in a low voice.

If the original historical development is followed, the Fifth Gezuo Battalion was eventually annexed by Li Zicheng.Killed a few, sent him down a few.

And on this plane, because of the butterfly effect, history is changing.

………………

Besides, on Li Zicheng's side, he couldn't even live during the Chinese New Year. He marched all the way west, pointing his soldiers straight at Xiangyang. He was so frightened that Zuo Liangyu, who was entrenched in Xiangyang, searched Xiangyang first, and then ran to the north.

According to the plan in advance, after Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai occupied Xiangyang, they finally settled down.

At this time, they got the news that the imperial court did not send other troops south at all, which meant that they frightened themselves and ran to the west in fright.

In this regard, there have been many complaints in the army.I thought it would be better when I was stronger, but in the end, I ran around like in the early years.The dissatisfaction with marching in the winter erupted.

In private, especially Luo Rucai's team, when many people muttered, they said that Li Zicheng was a coward, and Cao Cao shouldn't be messing around with Li Zicheng.

Then many of them were envious of the Eight Great Kings, who not only occupied the land of fish and rice, but also became kings and officials.Look at this posture, if you are not careful, you might be able to get a servant of the dragon.

This statement quickly spread to Li Zicheng's department.

How many people who are thieves have foresight and insight can only see the present moment.

Therefore, even Li Zicheng's army began to spread, saying that the Eight Great Kings are so good, they have established a country, and they have been appointed officials, which is much more interesting!
Anyway, it's all rebellion, isn't the rebellion on the side of the Eight Great Kings more promising?
On this day, Li Zicheng was discussing with Song Xiance in Xiangyang Palace, when he saw Li Guo escorting a dozen people to the hall, he broke into the hall and told Li Zicheng, "This is not going to work, and I want to leave again. There are more and more caught in the direction of Huguang, so I have to make up my mind!"

From his words, it can be heard that this is not the first time that fugitives have been caught.

When Li Zicheng heard this, he couldn't help feeling a headache, and he said to Song Xiance: "They don't understand the principle of slowing down the kingship, so what can I do?"

Although the control over the army was strengthened and patrols were sent to catch the fugitives, they couldn't be stopped, which really made Li Zicheng a little troubled.

To be honest, Song Xiance also had a headache!These are all from the background of thieves, which cannot be compared with the quality of Emperor Taizu when he rebelled.Running here and there, when life is not going well, they want to part ways!

After considering the recent situation, Song Xiance said helplessly: "The influence of the eight great kings who established the country and became king is still too great. On the side of the general, if we want to stabilize the morale of the army, I'm afraid it has to be like this!"

Hearing this, Li Zicheng said worriedly: "What about the imperial court?"

The things that were discussed before made Zhang Xianzhong a prominent target, attracting the attention of the imperial court, and hurting both of them. He could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

After hearing this, Song Xiance replied to Li Zicheng: "Although we are also called kings, the Eight Great Kings occupy Huguang, which is the wealth of the imperial court. If the imperial court sends troops, they will definitely attack the Eight Great Kings first."

Hearing this, Li Zicheng thought about it and felt it made sense.

If he could still sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, of course he would be happy to build a country and become king.Not only can you give an explanation to the people below and stabilize the morale of the army, but you can also give yourself an explanation!
However, he still had a concern, so he asked Song Xiance: "If I also establish the country and become the king, what will Lao Luo do? I feel that he will not accept my reward!"

Although after the union of the two, Luo Rucai listened to Li Zicheng most of the time.However, in terms of status, both of them are equal.Even the seats during the discussion, the two are side by side.

Now you want one up and one down, can you be willing?
