Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 282

Zhu Changyuan took a deep breath, thought carefully for a long time, finally waved his hand, and said: "Fight, the soldiers come to block the water and cover them with soil, just to wrong the Governor Xiong, and I will bear this notoriety for this!"

In the city of Chang'an thousands of miles away.

Li Zicheng's palace.

The cups were messed up, and there was joy.

Zicheng personally picked up a glass of wine, and said to a mighty-looking and tall man, "Zong Min's presence this time is really a big help to me, hehe."

"Your subordinates dare not!" Liu Zongmin knelt down, kowtowed to Li Zicheng a few times, then reached out to take the full glass of dirty wine that Li Zicheng handed him, and said, "Hearing the sound transmission from the king, my subordinates are non-stop. Delayed the military period, arrived early."

"Good!" Li Zicheng had a drink with Liu Zongmin himself.

"Zongmin, come, sit here with me." Li Zicheng took Liu Zongmin's arm and pulled him down on his throne all the way. They both sat facing north.

This time, all the officials below were stunned, and they all looked at Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin in surprise.

Liu Zongmin also seemed to realize something, suddenly jumped up from his seat, retreated a few steps and knelt down, saying: "My lord, I dare not, I will die!"

"Get up." Li Zicheng insisted on pulling Liu Zongmin up, and then pressed him on the seat. He stood up by himself, and said loudly to the civil and military officials: "Zongmin's parents died when he was young, and he grew up with his uncle. I am his uncle." The best friend of Zong Min, who regards Zong Min as a brother in life and death, when Hong Chengchou and Sun Chengzong forced people too much, I had no choice but to flee to Shangluo Mountain, only Zong Min was by my side, and I swore to God that if I win the country in the future, Zong Min will be able to Crack the soil and divide the king!"

"Today! Zhu Changyuan deceived me, Zong Min rushed all the way from Guyuan to help here regardless of his fatigue, I am very grateful."

Liu Zongmin stood up, stepped back slightly, bowed to Li Zicheng, and said, "I can't afford it. Every plant and tree around me is given by the king. The king has an order. How dare you not obey?"

Liu Zongmin can be said to be the number one general under Li Zicheng. Some time ago, he led the army in Shaanxi to rush left and right, breaking the defense of the Ming army in Shaanxi one after another. All the military resources of the army in Guyuan Town were in the hands of Liu Zongmin.

Although Guyuan sounds like a town, it is actually one of the nine military towns established in the north to defend Mongolia in the Ming Dynasty, that is, one of the nine sides.

The three important towns in Shaanxi, Guyuan, Gansu and Ningxia, are also known as the three sides of Shaanxi.

It is conceivable that once Guyuan missed, the Ming Dynasty would have nothing to do with Shaanxi.

Liu Zongmin can be said to have contributed a lot.

"Besides, I heard that the king was bullied by Zhu Changyuan's children. How dare I not travel day and night. When I come back this time, I will leave a large army in Guyuan to guard. I only brought five thousand horses here, and I will fight Zhu Changyuan to the death!"

Li Zicheng frowned slightly when he heard Zhu Changyuan, and then relaxed, laughed, and said to Liu Zongmin: "I know that Zongmin is invincible every time he leads an army, but Zhu Changyuan should not be underestimated. I have fought against this person a few times. This time, it's very tricky!"

"Yes." A civil servant below echoed: "Although Zhu Changyuan only had two hundred cavalry, his achievements made the world dumbfounded. The former 200 people slaughtered Sun Xiaofeng in Fang County, which shocked the world and thought he was invincible in the world; but later he He used these two hundred cavalrymen to defeat Zhang Xianzhong's [-] troops, and even forced Zhang Xianzhong to flee back to Shu in panic with only Li Dingguo alone. !"

"Also!" The official continued to preach, and said: "Old Chongzhen transferred Zhu Changyuan's troops back to King Qin of Jing. Unexpectedly, before Zhu Changyuan entered Beijing, Huang Taiji fled in a hurry with his 20 troops."

"Hey." Li Zicheng sneered twice, interrupting the civil servant's words.

Although what he said was true, it is a pity that this is Li Zicheng's territory, and it is impossible to allow this guy to keep advocating Zhu Changyuan, otherwise, all his subordinates will be afraid, and they will be fooled in Shaanxi in the future!
"Crack!" Liu Zongmin clapped one hand on the table, and said bitterly, "Others are afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him."

Naturally, Liu Zongmin was not afraid of him. The reason why he was so confident was that when he came, he quietly prepared a big gift for Zhu Changyuan. He believed that after this big gift was presented, Zhu Changyuan and his two hundred cavalry would be crippled even if they did not die. .

From the beginning, in fact, this is a strategy of Li Zicheng.

When Zhu Changyuan first came to Shaanxi, Li Zicheng sent money and the city to ask for peace. Could it be said that Li Zicheng is such a person who can easily swallow his anger?Or is he able to swallow this breath?
impossible.

This is just a delaying tactic, a strategy.

Not only Li Zicheng, but also Niu Jinxing, who advised him at that time, was not an ordinary person. In history, this guy was Li Zicheng's No. [-] adviser besides Li Xin. He was not only good at calculating, but also understood people's hearts.

Similarly, it was the same guy who finally slandered Li Zicheng and killed Li Xin.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying called playing hard to get. Sorry, the method Niu Jinxing and Li Zicheng used to deal with Zhu Changyuan was playing hard to get.

After stabilizing Zhu Changyuan and giving him Huazhou City, the two of them secretly pointed their swords and guns at him again as soon as they raised their heels, otherwise Li Zicheng, who you thought was famous, would have lost his reputation.

That night, they sent people to Guyuan Town to ask Liu Zongmin to come and support them. Of course, it doesn't matter if you bring fewer people. The hundred cannons at the top of Guyuan Town must be dismantled and transported to Chang'an.

At the same time, from all over Shaanxi, as long as there are cannons, all of them were recruited. Including the dozens of guns that already existed in Chang'an City, a total of [-] guns were recruited.

Now, um, in just a few days, the three hundred cannons can be transported to the territory of Huazhou Prefecture overnight along the Weishui River. According to Niu Jinxing's plan, they will be pulled down outside the city of Huazhou without anyone noticing, and Zhu Changyuan will die undoubtedly.

Just kidding, no matter how powerful your cavalry is, no matter how invincible your armor is, can you beat cannons?
"This Ming Dynasty!" Li Zicheng walked up and down the palace with unprecedented confidence, raised a glass of wine, and said: "Under Zhu Changyuan, no matter how unscrupulous generals are, if Chang Yuan dies in a single battle, the capital will tell you The sun is coming, but you are all the heroes of this king, and you will be appointed officials and promoted to nobles, just around the corner!"

"Long live the king!"

The people below also raised their wine glasses and cheered Li Zicheng in unison.

However, when the crowd was cheering, a dark and thin man suddenly broke in from outside, knelt down to Zicheng, and then loudly advised out of time: "Your Majesty, don't act recklessly!"

"Zhu Changyuan can make peace if he is able to make peace. Your Majesty must not disobey him, otherwise, if you get angry, the consequences will be disastrous!" When he spoke, he raised his head, his eyes full of sincerity. It was Li Zicheng's right-hand man, military adviser Song Xiance.

"Military division!" Li Zicheng was already half drunk at this time, and his smile and drunkenness intertwined. He twisted his body and came to Song Xiance's side to help him up from the ground, and said, "Why should the military division worry? Zhu Changyuan is already a fish on the chopping board. Wait for my sword to come, you can burn it anytime!"

"Your Majesty can't!"

Song Xiance stopped Li Zicheng, who was drunk, and said, "Niu Jinxing's strategy seems feasible, but it is actually absurd. I am afraid that the country we have worked so hard to conquer will be ruined here."

"Huh?" Li Zicheng was slightly unhappy, and his drunkenness also woke up three points.

However, Song Xiance acted as if he hadn't seen anything, so he grabbed Li Zicheng and persuaded him, "Niu Jinxing's strategy is sure to work if it works, but think about it, if it fails, what should we do then?"

"Failure?" Li Zicheng was easily upset, snorted coldly, and pushed Song Xiance far away, saying: "The military commander is alarmist. I have not left the army yet, and it is too much to say that I have failed."

"Not too much." Song Xiance got up from the ground, touched his forehead, and continued: "There is a saying in the art of war, and Fumiao calculates defeat before calculating victory. If the king fails to encircle and suppress Zhu Changyuan this time, the consequences will be disastrous. Yes, even if it is successful, as long as it fails to kill Zhu Changyuan, there will be endless troubles. My minister advises that dealing with Zhu Changyuan can only drive a wedge between him and the imperial court, and must not directly conflict with him."

"Fart!" Li Zicheng was furious, and smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground in one breath, pointing at Song Xiance and yelling at Song Xiance while he was drinking, and said, "Erpifu, could it be that Zhu Changyuan was scared out of his nerve after walking in the barracks, or Colluded with him, to speak for him like this."

Following Li Zicheng's stern shout, everyone drinking in the palace stopped talking, and the scene became dead silent.

Niu Jinxing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, picked up the wine glass with a smile on his face, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Your Majesty!" Song Xiance was so humiliated that he was so angry that he trembled all over his body. He raised his trembling fingers and pointed at Li Zicheng and said, "My subordinates are devoted to Your Majesty. They all say that good medicine is bitter, and loyal words are harsh. It's really good. Your Majesty has not yet If you are in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, you would be so contemptuous of literati, if... oh!"

Li Zicheng laughed "hehehehe" for a while, looking at Song Xiance as if he was looking at a dead person. For so many years, even Liu Zongmin, who never left him, had never been so presumptuous in front of him. A small literati, unexpectedly Dare to laugh at me, which is tolerable.

"Hei Si!" Zicheng narrowed his eyes slightly, slapped the table fiercely, his teeth were rattling, and sneered, "Song Xiance, Song Xiance, I sure didn't misread you!"

"Where are you going?"

"Here!" Four big men who looked like iron towers came in from outside the palace, bowed their hands to Li Zicheng, and then the two grabbed the black and thin Song Xiance.

"Take this black guy down and put him in prison!" Li Zicheng waved his hand, pointed at Song Xiance, and said: "The military master will be wronged in prison for a few days, and the king will send troops to Huazhou in a few days. , let you die to understand, don't say that you didn't predict it!"
