Ming Zuo

Chapter 1338 The king sees the king

"Jiangnan is the richest place in the world. King Chuang has already dominated the Central Plains and his troops are near Huguang. He only needs to work hard and go down the river, and Jiangnan will be at his fingertips. As long as he occupies Jiangnan, there will be an endless supply of money and food. At that time, King Chuang will support his troops. One million is nothing to worry about, it should be much easier to unify the world by imitating Hongwu's old things in the past. However, King Chuang abandoned Jiangnan and returned to Shaanxi, I am afraid he has other ideas."

Jiang Chaoyun's analysis made Liang Yue entangled.

He also couldn't figure it out, why did Li Zicheng return to Shaanxi instead of crossing the south of the Yangtze River and conquering the rich Jiangnan?
It was Jiang Chaoyun who saw through Li Zicheng's thoughts.

"Most of the Chuang army is from the old Qin Dynasty. They have been fighting abroad for many years. I am afraid that they cannot restrain their homesickness. Now that they have defeated Sun Chuanting, King Chuang has no choice but to obey the will of the people."

Liang Yue nodded, thinking that what he said made sense.

Thinking about my running around all these years, whenever the night is quiet, why don't I think of the days in my hometown in Linqing?
Today's Li Zicheng is no longer a rogue who has no way to go to heaven and nowhere to go to earth. He certainly hopes to return to his hometown and show off his martial arts.

Rich and noble do not return home, such as brocade clothing at night.

"Someone under King Chuang must have said that Guanzhong is the land of dragon prosperity. As long as you occupy Guanzhong, you can advance and retreat freely, and it is easy to fight for the world. King Chuang believes in such remarks, and he must come back."

Liang Yue sighed endlessly.

"After years of natural and man-made disasters, wars and horse turmoil in Shaanxi, Gansu and other places, their vitality has already been severely damaged. Where is the capital to compete for the world?"

Those of them who have been fighting in the Shaanxi-Gansu area are the most familiar with the situation here.

The earth is vast, not a single blade of grass grows.There is no smoke for hundreds of miles, and there is no life for thousands of miles.

The current Guanzhong is no longer the Guanzhong that gave birth to a strong man and a prosperous Tang Dynasty.

"In any case, King Chuang will definitely come. How we get along with King Chuang in the future has a lot to do with it. I think it's better to give King Chuang a big gift."

Liang Yue trusted him very much, so she quickly asked, "Where does etiquette come from?"

Jiang Chaoyun looked like a smile but not a smile, and slowly spit out two words.

"Xi'an."

Liang Yue had grown into a hero, and instantly realized that he had deep meanings.

"When King Chuang comes back, it is not difficult to capture Xi'an."

Jiang Chaoyun is smiling
"King Chuang conquered Xi'an, that's King Chuang's ability. We captured Xi'an and gave it to King Chuang, that's our love. King Chuang wants to rule the world, how can we not think of us?"

Commander of the Right Battalion Zhao Silie muttered.

"At the end of the Qin Dynasty, wars broke out everywhere, and the princes from all walks of life agreed that the one who entered Xianyang first would be the king. In the end, Liu Bang, the king of Han, seized the opportunity and took the title of righteousness. Then when he competed with the overlord of Western Chu, he won a complete victory. Brother Jiang means yes……"

Jiang Chaoyun nodded slowly, admiring his ingenuity.

"We don't want to compete with Chuang Wang for the world. It's just that our status among the Chuang army has been determined, and we have become outsiders. How to deal with ourselves in the future and make the big guy satisfied, we must use some means. Let's conquer In Xi'an, let King Chuang enter the city courteously, for such a great achievement, King Chuang should be rewarded no matter what."

Everyone understood.

Although Liang Yue was a general under Li Zicheng's command at the beginning, he had an extraordinary status.But later the family separated, and Liang Yue led his own army.

Four or five years have passed, no one is sure how much of the former love is still there.

Furthermore, Liang Yue has more than [-] soldiers and horses under his command.Standing in the northwest, even if you don't take refuge in anyone, you can still stir up the situation.He is no longer at the same level as Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, Li Guo and others under Li Zicheng's command.

Now if he returns to Li Zicheng's command, how to arrange his position is very troublesome.

The status is low, and if Liang Yue doesn't say anything, the rest of the army can't accept it.

After all, Liang Yue's status determines the status of other people, and it affects the whole body, which is related to real interests.

If the status is too high, what should the other generals in the Chuang army think?
The big guy followed King Chuang through life and death, and never left him, so he got his current status.A side branch of Liang Yue suddenly came back, but he wanted to ride on the head of the big guy. I believe there must be many people who are not convinced.

In this case, the only way to get the best of both worlds is to make great contributions and give Li Zicheng a great gift.

And Xi'an, which is at your fingertips, is the best bargaining chip.

Liang Yue is convinced of Li Zicheng, but as a hero, he must also worry about his own interests.

He made up his mind quickly.

"Assemble the soldiers and horses, and then we can go south and attack Xi'an."

Li Zicheng has come to Tongguan.

Looking at this magnificent pass in the world, he can be said to be full of excitement and ambition.

During the many years of battle, I entered and exited here several times, with several ups and downs.Now he is finally back, returning to his hometown with an army of millions.

Although Sun Chuanting only had remnants and defeated generals in his hands, Li Zicheng was still very careful.

After all, the danger of Tongguan is known all over the world, and it is unknown how many famous generals of powerful armies have been beaten here for thousands of years.

He made careful arrangements.

He and Liu Zongmin led the main force of the invasion army, marched westward from Luoyang, stationed troops under the city of Tongguan, and involved Sun Chuanting's front.

Yuan Zongdi, Baijiuhe, Liu Tichun, and Lan Yingcheng led the right battalion with [-] soldiers and horses, set out from Deng County, via Shangluo, and outflanked Xi'an.

On the sixth day of October, the offensive and defensive battle of Tongguan officially began.

The Chuang army arrived at Guanpo from Taojiazhuang, and fought with the Ming army in chaos.

Because Bai Guangen fled without fighting in the previous battle and preserved his strength, so Bai Guangen is the main force in this battle.

But you do the first day of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth day.

He betrayed Gao Jie back then, but now Gao Jie cheated on him.

Seeing that Bai Guangen's troops were getting mixed up with the Chuangjun, Gao Jie flattered him and left without even saying hello, directly selling Bai Guangen's right wing.

There was a loophole in the formation, and the troops were far from insufficient, and Bai Guangen collapsed instantly.

Since the families and children of the soldiers of the Ming army were all in the city, the collapsed soldiers rushed into Guancheng to protect their families and escape.

Some soldiers waved their knives in a hurry and split the fence of Nanshuiguan.

When Chuangjun saw him, he rushed into Tongguan City with him.

Under the chaotic situation, Sun Chuanting was powerless to control it.

He also doesn't want to control.

Because he heard the news, Chongzhen had already pushed the responsibility for the defeat of Nanyang and Ruzhou on his head, and ordered him to be deprived of the titles of supervisor and minister of the Ministry of War.

Sun Chuanting wanted to kill the thief, but he was powerless.

Trapped in the chaotic city, he finally disappeared.

He must have died in battle.

However, there is no accurate news about how he died in battle and by whom.

The chaos in the city made people forget to record these things.

Tongguan, which had been guarding the pass for thousands of years, fell into the hands of Chuangjun with ease.

Weak Shaanxi opened the door to Li Zicheng.

Standing on the city tower where the gunpowder smoke had not yet cleared, he looked towards the direction of Xi'an, but what he saw was a mighty army approaching slowly.

This made Li Zicheng's joy of victory involuntarily discounted.
