Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 238
Li Zicheng thought he was very powerful, but in fact he was pretending to be smart!

He thought that he could win the world by deceiving others with hypocrisy and hypocrisy.

Many leaders in the rebel army were indeed deceived by him, including old Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, Saicao Cao Luo Rucai, Zuojin King He Jin, Ge Liyan He Yilong, Ruler Liu Xiyao, Fighting King Lin Chenggong, and Chuang Tatian Liu Guoneng, including Shetatian Li Wanqing, etc., I don't know how many leaders of the rebel army were deceived by him to death.

The problem is that there will always be a day when you deceive people, and it is impossible to pretend to be hypocritical for a lifetime!
Therefore, sooner or later he will reveal his secrets, sooner or later he will reveal his true colors.

Once he shows his true colors, he's finished!

Historical facts have proved that even if he is given a million troops, even if he is given half of the Ming Dynasty, even if he is allowed to sit in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he will still be vulnerable.

How good was his situation at that time, the entire Central Plains, including Shandong and Shanxi, including Shaanxi, including Beizhili, were all under his control, and after he won the capital of Daming, he even forced out 7000 million taels of silver through so-called forced donations huge.

It can be said that if he really has such a little real ability, the Great Ming Dynasty will be his.

It's a pity that he didn't, he would lie!

Moreover, after he took down the capital of Daming, he showed his true colors. What he said about equalizing the land and exempting taxes, sharing joys and sorrows, and saving the people were all lies. In fact, he just wanted to be the emperor!

As a result, as soon as he became the emperor, he exposed his true nature, and he forgot all the previous promises!

He even borrowed the hand of Niu Jinxing to intentionally kill Li Yan, the powerful general who really served the country and the people.

He pretends to be so smart, will he get good results by deceiving others?
If people see through his nature, will they still work hard for him?
In the battle of Shanhaiguan, he was completely defeated, followed by an inexplicable defeat of a thousand miles, another thousand miles, another thousand miles, another thousand miles, another thousand miles, and another thousand miles!
He was beaten all the way from the capital to Xi'an, from Xi'an to Wuchang, and from Wuchang to Tongcheng. His army of millions under him was like paper. In less than a year, he actually It was defeated for more than 6000 miles!

It is no exaggeration to say that he created a defeat record in the cold weapon era.

You know, in the era of cold weapons without any means of transportation, it took more than half a year to travel more than 6000 miles. He was able to defeat more than 6000 miles in less than a year with an army of millions. comer!
Then, how did such a smart person like him manage to have an army of one million and half of the Ming Dynasty?
It can only be said that he was lucky.

In many cases, a person's success is not based on ability, but luck.

To put it bluntly, as long as you are lucky, you can do anything!

Many people are plain and ordinary and don’t have much ability, but they can sit on hundreds of millions of property and enjoy all the glory and wealth. If you want to rely on ability, it is naturally impossible. You can only say that people have good fate or good luck. .

Historically, Li Zicheng was really lucky, at least before he was defeated in Shanhaiguan. He was able to escape many times when he was almost certain to die, and many times he was about to lose. The slaves were involved in withdrawing the army, and many people could clean him up, but they were cleaned up by the Ming court's own people!

It's a pity that once he loses his luck, he will die.

This is the time when he is unlucky.

Taichang is not Chongzhen. At this moment, not only is the Ming Dynasty not dying of torture, but it is getting stronger and stronger.

At this time, he came to trick Zhang Xianzhong into digging his family's ancestral grave, it was really pure courting death.

He still doesn't know how many Ming troops are rushing here, but the [-] to [-] Ming troops in front of him are enough to make them retreat.

Now he didn't need to look for Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong, they came to the door by themselves again.

In the simple tent, all three of them were downcast. Gao Yingxiang endured it for a while, but still couldn't help sighing: "Zao'er, I'm afraid we won't be able to dig up the old Zhu family's ancestor's grave, so let's evacuate quickly."

This time he's not playing bad face, he's telling the truth.

Li Zicheng could only nod his head helplessly and said: "Well, half of this strategy of attacking east and west has been completed. We have successfully attracted the Ming army. Next, we will see how to run around with the Ming army."

You melon batch, you are really thick-skinned, and you still say that your strategy has succeeded after it has become like this!

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but sneered and said, "Still running around with the Ming army? Where can we go? To the west? There are a large number of officers and soldiers stationed in the three counties over there. When we came, they might just let us go on purpose. If you come over, you have to run back, and you have to be blocked by them! You have also seen the [-] officers and soldiers in the south, and there are probably more than [-] officers and soldiers in Fengyang Prefecture in the east. Where else can I run?"

Uh, this.

Hearing this, Li Zicheng said in embarrassment: "We can still run in the northwest direction, as long as we pass through Mengcheng and Haozhou, we will be in Henan after running out of the boundary of Fengyang Prefecture. At that time, we still want to run wherever we want ?”

Seeing this, Gao Yingxiang nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I won't talk about too much, let's pack up our things and run."

Soon, the three of them rushed towards Mengcheng with their men and horses.

When Lu Xiangsheng received the report from the scouts, he didn't lead his army to chase after him. He just ordered people to spread the news to the direction of the capital quickly, and then recruited Ma Shilong and his 2 men into the city.

The reason why he did this was not that he didn't dare to chase the rebels, the main reason was that Taichang had already ordered people from [-] li to send an urgent message to him to guard Fengyang Fucheng, as for the thieves, he had his own army behind him to deal with them.

Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong ran all the way with their men and horses, and they ran hundreds of miles in half a day.

At this time, it was getting dark, and their men and horses were panting like cows, and they couldn't run anymore. In desperation, they had no choice but to camp in the same place.

Unexpectedly, they had just set up camp and were about to bury the pot for cooking, when suddenly there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes from the north, and then the whole earth began to tremble.

The armored cavalry of the imperial court came, and not just a few, at least tens of thousands!

At this time, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong didn't get together to discuss. They all took their cronies, got on their horses and ran away.

Fortunately, Gao Yingxiang was a horse dealer, and they also got some war horses, otherwise, they would have no choice but to run away at this time.

As for the nearly [-] "army" under them, they have been running for most of the day, can they still run?

If you can't run, you have to run!
It's over if you get caught by officers and soldiers!

The [-] "army" dispersed in one rush, and the huge camp was soon emptied.

Cao Wenzhao led his men and horses to run to see the dilapidated camp, and couldn't help frowning.

He was careful enough, unexpectedly, the rebels were still frightened and ran away.

In fact, he was about to arrive at Fengyang Fucheng at noon, and he also received the news from Lu Xiangsheng at that time.

If he had chased in the direction of Mengcheng at that time, it is estimated that the rebels could run forty or fifty miles at most.

He also knew that once the cavalry rushed up, the rebels would definitely flee in all directions, and it would be troublesome to catch them.

Therefore, he kept sending scouts to follow from afar, until the rebels couldn't run anymore and stopped to set up camp, then he led his cavalry to charge over.

Unexpectedly, these guys can still run!
In desperation, he could only raise his hand and say loudly: "Order the commanders of each battalion to spread out and chase them around the rebel camp. If they catch up and dare to run, they will be killed without mercy!"

These rebels have been running for a long time, and they must not be able to run very far. If you spread out and chase them, you should be able to chase these guys back.

It was lively now, within a radius of more than ten miles, almost everywhere were fleeing rebels and armored cavalry chasing horses, [-] soldiers of the Shenji Battalion tossed all night until the sun came out the next day Only then did they drive the prisoners back to the camp one after another.

Nearly 7 rebels captured more than [-], and it seems that not many escaped, but Cao Wenzhao frowned, not happy at all,
Because Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other anti-thief leaders were not caught.

The emperor has specifically confessed that these anti-thief leaders are particularly important, and they must find a way to catch them.

Unfortunately, let them run away!

Cao Wenzhao frowned and pondered for a long time, but finally he could only sigh helplessly, alas, there is no way, bad luck.

When it comes to this luck, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are called unlucky.

Originally, they could rely on this ingenuity to make a fortune, but in the end, they became polished commanders!
