Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 557
The most difficult thing to grasp in the world is the human heart, because the human heart changes the most.

Ma Jinhua asked the crux of the problem, which is also the most difficult part of Zhu Yousong's plan.Zhu Yousong's optimistic and confident answer made Ma Jinhua confident, and he admired Zhu Yousong, his majesty and man, even more.

But seeing that Zhu Yousong didn't speak deeply, and she didn't dare to break the casserole to ask the end, she hugged Zhu Yousong to sleep with peace of mind and happiness.

At about 20 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhu Yousong killed the horse to sacrifice the flag, and then the cannon rang nine times, and the [-] army left Xi'an by land and water.

However, this time the royal conquest is different from usual.Zhu Yousong was not at all in a hurry to move forward, as if he was taking a beautiful tour with him, traveling to the mountains and rivers all the way, traveling overnight, walking leisurely, only walking more than a hundred miles a day.

Although these years are full of chaos, coupled with the continuous natural disasters in Qin, the people's livelihood is poor, and the population is sparse, the natural environment in this wilderness is still good.

The sky is blue and the water is green, the air is fresh, the green plants grow by themselves, and all kinds of animals voluntarily mate and reproduce. In a word, everything is pure natural, and there is no need to worry about pollution, hormones, and other inharmonious things.

Therefore, in the first few days, Zhu Yousong had a pleasant time traveling.

Li Zicheng's vanguard battalion was completely different from Zhu Yousong's brigade. As soon as he left the army, he stepped up and marched more than 160 miles on the first day. It was not that Li Zicheng wanted to rush to make any great contributions, but that he was eager to save his daughter.

Therefore, the two armies were separated by hundreds of miles within a few days.

Zhu Yousong reported that the vanguard battalion was a little far away from them, but he still walked forward leisurely as if nothing had happened.

And Li Zicheng learned that Zhu Yousong's brigade was a little far away from him, so he didn't take it seriously. After leading troops for many years, it was commonplace for him to charge on the battlefield, attack cities and plunder land, and Zhu Yousong's 20 army behind him was a strong backing , Li Zicheng let go of his pace and rushed forward.

In front is Hanzhong.Li Zicheng is no stranger to Hanzhong. Historically, it was an important military town and has always been contested by military strategists.Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Xiao He, Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Xia Houyuan, Fang Xiaoru, and Li Zicheng in history, etc., these famous veterans have left deep footprints here.

Today's Li Zicheng also came to this place.

Of course Li Zicheng knew that Hanzhong was originally an important southern border town of his Dashun regime.Just because he fought with Zhu Yousong in the past few months, people from all over the country were transferred to King Qin of Xijing, and Zhang Xianzhong's people took advantage of the vacancy and captured this place. The fate of Hanzhong is the same as that of Ankang in the east.

It is inhumane for Zhang Xianzhong to do this, if he wants to put it aside, it is normal for you to fight for the land of the world.But Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng became good friends of Qin and Jin, and they are now allies.In terms of seniority, Li Zicheng is still Zhang Xianzhong's father-in-law.The son-in-law took the father-in-law's territory, which is a bit too much.

This matter once made Li Zicheng very unhappy, but he did not ask Zhang Xianzhong Xingshi for the crime. First, he was fighting the Ming army and there was no such opportunity. Even if there was such an opportunity, Li Zicheng would not do it.

Doing so will first disrupt the friendship between the two parties, and when the time comes, Zhang Xianzhong, an old fox, will not admit it. At most, he will blame his godson Ai Nengqi, and then pretend to punish the generals and make an apology to Li Zicheng Apologies, this is not an example, but I will never give up Hanzhong to Li Zicheng again.

Li Zicheng was very aware of this political trick. After weighing the pros and cons, he just pouted and swallowed the matter calmly.

Now that Hanzhong is in sight, it brings back his memories of the past.

Knowing that the defender of Hanzhong is Ai Nengqi's general Feng Shuangli, and that there are [-] Western troops stationed in Hanzhong, Li Zicheng knows that the time has come to vent his anger.

However, Li Zicheng did not attack Hanzhong by force. His vanguard battalion had only 5000 troops, and without artillery support, the attack would definitely fail.

He didn't go to the city to line up and scold, but rolled his eyes and thought about it.

Twenty miles away from the city, Li Zicheng ordered people to set up a camp, and if he did not attack the city, he would not call an army.

A lieutenant under his command reminded Li Zicheng: "Master Hou, we are traveling too fast. Your Majesty's brigade is still a few days away from us. We are so close to Hanzhong to set up camp. We are alone. In case..."

He didn't say the following words, but Li Zicheng understood, and interrupted him with a slight smile, "I just let him in case..." As he spoke, he whispered a few words in the lieutenant's ear.

"Gao, Lord Hou is really too tall, the last general will go to prepare." The deputy general happily saluted and left, secretly admiring Li Zicheng's strategy.

His eyes turned to the General Army Mansion in Hanzhong City. The chief general Feng Shuangxi was sitting on the chair of the Taishi, and just took a sip of the hot tea served by the soldiers, when the soldiers who reported the matter came in, "Report to the general, the villain has already seen clearly, The Ming army that came was only 5000 people, and they set up camp at Gaogang, 20 miles northeast of the city, and the Ming army brigade behind was more than 500 miles away from him, and the leader of the team was Li Zicheng."

"Who?" Feng Shuangli almost spit out the tea before he swallowed it when he heard the name.

"If you go back to the master, it's Li Zicheng?" The soldier who reported the incident was still wondering, what's wrong with the master?There's something wrong with my ears, or something wrong with my brain. I don't stutter, and I don't speak foreign languages, and my voice is not low. Isn't it clear what I said?
"Which Li Zicheng?" Feng Shuangli heard it clearly, but his eyes widened in shock, thinking that he had heard it wrong, or was someone repeating the name?

"Is that the former Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng?" The soldiers who reported the incident were not too happy. Are there still a few Li Zichengs in the world?But dare not say it, only explain.

"You figured it out, right?"

"Back to Master, the villain has figured it out, there is nothing wrong with it."

Feng Shuangli waved his hand and sent the soldier who reported the incident away.The all-powerful Li Zicheng, the once famous Emperor of Dashun, is now Zhu Yousong's vanguard?Feng Shuangli felt a little incredible.

Previously, I heard that Li Zicheng offered the city to surrender. He, Zhang Xianzhong, Ai Nengqi and others all thought that this was impossible. At most, it was Li Zicheng's plan to save the country with a curve. False surrender, real rebellion, these people have played a lot these years.

But this Emperor Hongguang can still trust him?And gave him 5000 soldiers and horses to make him run so fast?

With a mere 5000 troops and more than 500 miles away from the main force, this Li Zicheng is really greedy for merit, and he is so hardworking for Zhu Yousong?
Regardless of him, since he has brought troops here, it means a war is coming, so I will give him a warning first.

The lone army goes deep and secures a stronghold under the enemy's city. Li Zicheng's troops are nothing more than that!
So a plan to eat Li Zicheng's 5000 troops was formed in his mind.

It was the third watch of the night, and Feng Shuangli almost went out, leaving only 1000 people to guard the city. He personally dispatched three armies, a total of 9000 people, quietly opened the city gate, and divided the middle road, left road and right road into three directions. Li Zicheng's camp came.
