Chongzhen Chat Group

Li Zicheng pondered for a moment, and then said with a serious face: "Uncle, although Li Guo talks too much and is unreliable, there is one thing we must do."

Having said this, he solemnly said: "Instead of waiting for others to come to our door, we should take the initiative ourselves. Only the troops in our own hands are strong enough, whether it is to deal with the civil strife in the city or the Mongols outside the city, or……"

He turned his head and glanced at Li Guo before continuing: "If you want to make great achievements and gain attention from the court, it is essential."

After hearing this, Gao Yingxiang nodded with the same serious face. He himself was even more worried about the situation in the city. I actually had this thought in my mind, otherwise I wouldn't have come to discuss it with Li Zicheng.

Originally, he thought that he could win the battle in the city, but there were still so many Mongols outside. Although he felt that it would not be a problem to break out of the siege, it would be too difficult to get rid of the Mongols and find a stable place to stay.

What Li Guo said at this time, although it was so mysterious, gave him a good way out. Whether he believed it or not, deep down in his heart he wanted to believe that it was true. What's more, Li Guo has said so much, and if he is really making it up, he doesn't seem to be able to say it in such a convincing way!

In addition, Li Guo's previous performance also made him trustworthy, so naturally there were bonus points in it.

While he was thinking about this, Li Guo had come to his senses, and then said with a somewhat serious face: "The emperor told me just now that his request is to decide the Loop in a battle, so he is mobilizing elite border troops from various places. It is expected that It will take three more days to assemble. Let us hold on and wait for the arrival of the imperial army."

When Gao Yingxiang heard this, he took a deep breath and said, "There are still three days to assemble. Doesn't that mean that border troops from all over the country may participate in the war, and the military strength is not limited to Yansui and Datong?"

Li Guo got a little excited when he spoke, nodded and said: "Well, the emperor has decreed that anyone who neglects or delays the military situation in various places will be severely punished. King Hongyan leads the elites of various places, even the governors of the three sides, must obey this decree , there must be no disobedience!”

Originally, King Hongyan had an army of one town, but he defeated tens of thousands of them and fled in panic. If the elites of Qin and Jin in the pass were brought under his command, wouldn't it be possible to succeed with the fighting power of the Mongols?

Thinking like this, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Li Guo looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Li Zicheng was surprised and praised: "The emperor seems to be younger than me, but he is so courageous. Aren't you worried about what if you lose the battle?"

"That's why King Hong Yan is asked to lead it!" Li Guo took up the topic and said, "And in the victory in Liaodong just now, the emperor also mobilized the Guan Ning Army to cooperate. It can almost be said that it was the result of using all the Jianlu troops. , no one dares to be passive and slack in work.”

Li Zicheng was moved when he heard this, and immediately asked Li Guo: "Do you know what you are talking about about the Liaodong War?"

Li Guo thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "I probably understand, I saw the photo!"

Although he didn't know what the photo meant, Li Zicheng didn't care and immediately asked: "Then can you tell me about the Liaodong War?"

When Li Guo heard this, he didn't hesitate and immediately started talking about the information he got from those photos. Although it is impossible to be as detailed as participating in person. But when those photos are taken together, they can at least describe the general outline of the entire war.

After Li Zicheng listened carefully, although he still found it too unbelievable, he still turned to Gao Yingxiang and said: "Uncle, I think what Li Guo said should be true. Otherwise, Li Guo can't make it up It came from something like the Liaodong War."

When Li Guo heard this, he responded dissatisfiedly before Gao Yingxiang could speak: "I already said I would guarantee it with my head, why don't you always believe me!"

Gao Yingxiang's own judgment was similar to Li Zicheng's. After confirming that what Li Guo said was true, he suddenly became excited and couldn't help but wave his hand: "Then let's figure out what to do next!"

In today's city, no one can gain an advantage simply by relying on their own power. Li Zicheng thought for a moment and whispered: "Let's start with Brother Shen Yikui first..."

During their discussion, Emperor Chongzhen was actually a little worried. According to Li Guo, the city was already in chaos. If one of them fails, let alone holding on for four or five days, it is very likely that the army in the pass is still gathering and Guihua City will be destroyed. If that was the case, although Emperor Chongzhen was not worried that the army would not be able to defeat Lin Dan Khan, if Lin Dan Khan led the main force and ran away, the threat to the Hetao Plain would be too great. After all, the army cannot always be on the Hetao Plain and be on guard day and night.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was really unsafe, so he contacted Sun Chengzong through the Liu Wang family. After discussing for a while, he decided to put the matter of building captives aside and sent Cao Wenzhao to lead Guan Ning's cavalry to surround them from the east grassland. . As long as Lin Dan Khan's main force is wiped out in Guihua City, the northern territory of the Ming Dynasty will be stable for many years. The reclamation of the Hetao area will make the Ming Dynasty's disaster resistance stronger. If you have such an opportunity, you have to take the gamble no matter what.

As for the Guan Ning front line, the rich and powerful are watching. Even if Jianlu launches a large army to attack, Guan Ning can get the news in advance and prepare early.

The key to the grassland battle now lies in Guihua City. As long as Guihua City can hold out until the army arrives, even if it cannot cooperate internally and externally, as long as it is still attracting Lin Dan Khan to attack the city, with the cooperation of Li Guo's information, Lin Dan Khan should be able to be severely damaged.

With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and then contacted Li Guo: "Find a way to appease the Guihua City and resist the Mongols together, and don't let the Mongols attack the city. In addition, you can't let the Mongols give up the siege. You have to Try to win over as many allies as possible to achieve this goal. As long as you make contributions in this battle, I can allow you to be a guerrilla and stationed in Hetao in the future to create more living space for the people of Qin and Jin!"

Emperor Chongzhen's promise at this time immediately gave Li Guo a shot in the arm, and he couldn't help but excitedly replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my uncle is better at planning. He is thinking of a way, and he will definitely be able to do it."

Emperor Chongzhen felt a little relieved when he heard that Li Zicheng was thinking of a solution. A person who can leave his name in history is never a mediocre person, let alone Li Zicheng who overthrew the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt a little awkward! Overturn yourself? Haha, this is just a matter from another dimension!

Suddenly, a servant's voice sounded in the palace: "Your Majesty, Liu Chengzhi, the eunuch in charge of the Military War Bureau, requests an audience!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. This must be a good thing, right?
