Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 235
In Xinyang City, in the canteen of the state government office, dozens of rebel leaders, large and small, gathered. All kinds of tables, chairs and benches were placed everywhere, and everyone spoke with enthusiasm.

At this time, everyone's confidence seems to be back.

The "big army" outside the city is their reliance. With so many people, do they still have to be afraid of the imperial army's encirclement and suppression?

This question was the focus of their discussion.

Back when they were in Shaanxi, they were scattered everywhere, and they didn't get together at all. Therefore, when the imperial army came, they were beaten to the ground and driven to run around.

Now, with so many of them gathered together, they shouldn't be afraid of the imperial army, right?
To be honest, they are just a bunch of mobs, they are nothing but farts in front of the imperial army!

This point, as long as anyone with a little brain thinks about it, he will understand.

Why do they fight the imperial army?
At this moment, they want weapons but not weapons, they want war horses but not war horses, few people understand the formation of troops, and few people have learned the art of war and strategy.

The imperial army is well-equipped and battle-tested, and there are so many generals who know the art of war and strategy, it is still very easy to fight them.

Therefore, this lively atmosphere didn't last long. As they talked, everyone's faces were solemn, and they didn't know what to do.

It's not that they're out of their minds, they just got a little hot-headed when they saw the "army" gathered together.

After a little discussion, they found that they still couldn't beat the imperial army!

Li Zicheng has also been "discussing" with others, but what he said is different from others. They are all talking about whether he can do it better than the imperial army, but he is talking about how he understands the art of war, how he understands strategy, and how he knows how to fight on the border. The army was in a state of chaos.

It can be said that everyone who talked to him began to look at him with admiration.

This guy was also an officer in the frontier army. It's not easy!

This guy is indeed not simple.

When everyone didn't know what to do, he finally raised his hand and said loudly: "Everyone in charge, just listen to me."

Who is this guy?
Those who hadn't chatted with him showed a hint of surprise, while those who had chatted with him introduced them in a low voice.

It turned out that this guy had also been in the frontier army, and he was doing well!
Li Zicheng deliberately waited for someone to introduce him, and then continued: "I think that if you want to fight with the imperial army, you must first have a leader. Everyone should be like before, taking care of their own and running around. , then, once the imperial army comes to encircle and suppress, we will still be the same as last time."

There is indeed truth to this statement.

Question, what do you mean by saying this now?
Do you want to be the leader of this!
Are you qualified?
At this time, many rebel leaders showed displeasure on their faces, and even Fugu King Wang Jiayin was a little unhappy.

Of course Li Zicheng won't fight for the lead, at least not right now.

Immediately afterwards, he pointed to King Jiayin of Fugu and said, "This man must be known to everyone. He is the leader of our more than 1 rebels. King Fugu can bring us from more than [-] people to more than [-] people. There is no doubt about his ability? Everyone said, how about we let King Fugu lead everyone to do something big?"

"it is good!"

Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, Zijin Liang Wang Ziyong, Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong, Hun Shi Wang Zhang Yingjin and others who followed Fugu Wang naturally agreed.

The others were just stunned for a moment, and then followed suit.

If it is said that Li Zicheng, an unknown person, wants to be the boss at this moment, everyone will definitely not agree. If Wang Jiayin, the king of Fugu, comes to be the boss, it will be different.

There is no way, he is indeed the most powerful in the rebel army, with more than [-] troops, who can compare?
Seeing this, Wang Jiayin glanced at Li Zicheng admiringly, then stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Since everyone doesn't dislike it, Wang will do his best to lead everyone to do something great."

Immediately afterwards, he raised his finger to Li Zicheng and said, "General Li is indeed proficient in the art of war and has a lot of wisdom. If not, let General Li talk about what we should do next."

This is called throwing peaches in return for plums. If you lift me up, I will lift you up.

Li Zicheng pretended to be humble, and then said loudly: "To be honest, the situation in the Central Plains is very bad now, including Shanxi and Huguang, where there are officers and soldiers everywhere. These places are no longer suitable for us, and we can't keep thinking about it." We ran around. We must find a way to win a piece of land, and only when we have a place to stay can we train our troops, build weapons, continue to grow and grow, and finally defeat the officers and soldiers."

This makes sense.

The question is, how easy is it to win a piece of land, and even if you win it, can you hold it?

As soon as you 10 people took over the Huaiqing Mansion court, you sent armored cavalry to rush over. You dare not defend it!
The crowd couldn't help but chatter: "Where are we going to get the territory?", "How to defend the territory?", "What should we do when the officers and soldiers come?"...

Li Zicheng waited until everyone had finished asking, then he raised his hand and said, "Everyone, don't worry, if we rush to take over a piece of land, we definitely won't be able to do it. We can't bear the siege of officers and soldiers right now. However, we can take some action." A small plan to keep officers and soldiers from encircling and suppressing, or not having enough troops to encircle and suppress."

There is such a strategy?

At this moment, even Wang Jiayin couldn't help asking: "Tell me, what's the plan?"

Li Zicheng quickly explained: "This plan is a 36-mile strategy. I think Xi'an, Hanzhong, Chengdu and other places are good. Xi'an has a lot of victims, Hanzhong has a good location, and Chengdu has a lot of food. If we can win one and develop slowly, we have the hope of defeating the officers and soldiers. Of course, the officers and soldiers will definitely not let us take it for nothing. Once we win, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress it. It’s a plan, we can send out some troops to pretend to attack Nanzhili, attract all the officers and soldiers, and then go to take Xi’an, Hanzhong or Chengdu.”

This is indeed a good plan.

Everyone knows how important Nanzhili is to the Ming court. As long as they pretend to attack Nanzhili, the officers and soldiers will definitely be attracted to it. In this way, the troops in Xi'an, Hanzhong or Chengdu in the west will be empty. One is definitely not a problem, and it is even possible to win all three.

The problem is, after taking it down, the officers and soldiers will still come to encircle and suppress it!

Wang Jiayin thought about it for a while, and then asked: "It won't be long before we attack east and west, and the officers and soldiers will still go to encircle and suppress the territory we won."

Li Zicheng nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, the officers and soldiers will go to encircle and suppress sooner or later, but we can take advantage of the feint attacking team in the east to delay the time and lead the officers and soldiers to run around in the Central Plains. As long as it takes a few years, we will probably take over Shaanxi and Sichuan." Let’s go, will we still be unable to defeat the officers and soldiers?”

This idea is good, but it seems a bit too taken for granted.

Wang Jiayin couldn't help asking: "Why do the officers and soldiers keep chasing our feint attacking team in the east? Once we win the territory in the west, the officers and soldiers will definitely leave the feint attacking team in the east and go to the west to encircle and suppress it. What is more important to the court?" Can't you tell the difference?"

That's right, the imperial court is not a fool, why did they chase after the feint attacking team from the east?
This, Shanren has his own clever plan.

Li Zicheng said with a little pride: "We went to capture Fengyang Fucheng and dug up the ancestral grave of old Zhu's family. Do you think the imperial court will chase after the feint attacking team from the east?"

what?
Plan people's ancestral graves!
The leaders of the rebel army couldn't help being dumbfounded when they heard this.

If they really did this, the imperial court would indeed chase after the feint attacking team from the east.

Question, isn't it too wicked to plan people's ancestral graves?

Li Zicheng saw that everyone looked hesitant, and immediately asked, "Why? The imperial court oppressed us so much, what happened to dig the grave of the old Zhu family's ancestors? We have all rebelled, so do we still need to be polite to the dog emperor?"

That's right, we all rebelled, and the emperor Lao Tzu killed us all when he came. What happened to digging people's ancestral graves?
"Okay, go dig up the grave of the old Zhu family's ancestors, the dog emperor is so mad!"
