Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xu Renjie suddenly brought several of his confidants to find him from the edge of Tiankan. When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he quickly saluted and said: "Li Zicheng's troops attacked the Chengdu Plain. They originally wanted to break through Chengdu, but seeing that Chengdu City has high walls and thick walls,  The defense was tight and he did not dare to start the war lightly, so he circled the city and marched northward, capturing Deyang Yang Sichang kept chasing him in circles, and the two armies chased and escaped, and they were about to approach Guangyuan again. "

    After Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news, he couldn't help crying or laughing. The guys in the 36th Battalion were really disappointing. Today, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were chased by officers and soldiers and fled to their own territory. Tomorrow, Li Zicheng was chased and fled to his own territory.  Will the territory be changed to Lao Hui Hui Ma Shou Ying the day after tomorrow?

    He is not a person who likes to fight on his own territory. If he lets officers and soldiers or Li Zicheng step into his territory, he will inevitably have to trample some crops and kill some innocent people to keep the enemy outside the country.  The best strategy.  So Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to sit still and quickly ordered his soldiers to prepare to leave the city and head south to greet him.

    After more than half a year of management and training in Guangyuan, the 25,000 Zhu Army soldiers who entered Sichuan now look more and more like mountain troops. The soldiers are lightly dressed and simple, carrying ropes and hooks for climbing, and using black poles.  The soldiers were the vanguard, heading in the direction of Deyang.

    Not long after we walked, a strange and strange mountain appeared in front of us. This mountain was made of a single big stone. It was not very high, only about a hundred feet. What was rare was that not a single inch of grass or wood grew on the mountain.  Only the surface of the stone is covered with a thick layer of moss, due to the effect of this layer of moss.  It makes the whole mountain look like a piece of green agate Therefore, the name of this mountain is Agate Mountain.

    There is already an army stationed on the mountain. Looking at the flag of the army, there are the words "Eight Kings of Xiying" written on it. It turns out that Zhang Xianzhong is entrenched here.  Speaking of Zhang Xianzhong, it was tragic enough. This naughty kid failed to threaten Zhu Yuanzhang in Bazhou, so Luo Rucai sent him away with one hundred thousand taels of silver, so he moved south. Unexpectedly, not far south, he found that several counties in the south were  It fell into the hands of Li Zicheng.

    Although Li Zicheng did not regard these counties as his own base to operate.  But he attaches great importance to winning over people's hearts.  Promoting the children's song "Open the city gate to welcome King Chuang, King Chuang will not accept food when he comes". Of course, Li Zicheng could not win over people's hearts and destroy his own image at the same time, so he stopped burning, killing and looting.  Killing innocent people indiscriminately.  Instead, put on a front of "I'm a good person."  He promoted his image of Wei Guangzheng (great, bright and upright) in every county.

    Under this circumstance, Zhang Xianzhong's arrival was not welcomed by Li Zicheng.  Li Zicheng immediately chased Zhang Xianzhong away like a fly. Zhang Xianzhong played tricks on Li Zicheng for a while and extorted some military rations from him. Then he came to Agate Mountain and stayed here forever.

    Agate Mountain is located in the middle of the territory of Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zicheng. It is a good place for him to be stationed here. He will not be chased by Zhu Yuanzhang, nor will he cause trouble to Li Zicheng. He will be happy and at ease, but the military rations are consumed very much.  Come on, it won't take much longer to stay here, and then you'll have to find a place to wander around.

    When Zhu Yuanzhang passed the Agate Mountain, he saw that it was Zhang Xianzhong and was too lazy to pay attention to him, but he couldn't just go around from the bottom of the mountain. If he went around, wouldn't he betray Zhang Xianzhong's army behind his back?  What if Zhang Xianzhong suddenly goes down the mountain and goes to Guangyuan?

    Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to issue an order to station the entire army to the north of Agate Mountain to see what Zhang Xianzhong planned to do.

    But I heard hundreds of bandit soldiers shouting loudly from the mountain: "Is that Brother Baishui Zhuba passing by at the bottom of the mountain? Hehehehe Why are you moving the army around when you have nothing to do?"

    Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to pay attention, but Luo Rucai, who was traveling with him, sent hundreds of soldiers to shout to the top of the mountain: "Yang Sichang is here to hunt down Li Zicheng. We have to join in the fun. Do you want the Eight Kings to come with you?"  Luo Rucai has not yet decided whether to hand over the army to Zhu Ba and become a wealthy man himself, so the two armies are temporarily in a joint alliance.

    Hearing Luo Rucai's reply, Zhang Xianzhong on the mountain was so happy that he sent someone to call back: "That bitch Li Zicheng deserves to be beaten, hahaha, don't let me enter his territory. If the bitch is beaten to death by the officers and soldiers, I will be happy."  ¡±

    Luo Rucai had nothing to do with Zhang Xianzhong, sighed and shook his head.  No one knew what to do next. Li Zicheng was blocked by the Agate Mountain before he was even ashes, making it impossible to continue any further movements.  Zhu Yuanzhang was very impatient and really wanted to order Zhang Xianzhong to be driven away from here.

    But I heard Luo Rucai's men shouting to the mountain again: "Eight Great Kings, I, Luo Rucai, have never offended you. If one day the officers and soldiers beat me, you have to protect your brother."

    The reply from Zhang Xianzhong's army came from the mountain, he said very arrogantly: "Don't be wordy here, I don't like you all, youIt's best if all of them are killed by the officers and soldiers. I can live well alone.  "

    Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "This desperado."

    At this time, another army came from the south of Agate Mountain. Since the terrain of Sichuan is high in the north and low in the south, Zhu Jun and Luo Rucai's army were in a higher position, while the army coming from the south was in a lower position.

    Zhu Jun had a better vision and could see the whole army at a glance.  This is an extremely large army. A large flag is flying in the army, and a row of large characters reads "Fengtian Advocates Civil and Military Marshal". It turns out that the army of Chuang King Li Zicheng is coming.  The invading army includes cavalry, infantry, musketry, archers, heavy armor, light armor, and no armor The sky and the fields are full of people. Behind the soldiers, there are countless ordinary people, old and weak women.  , dragging their sons and daughters with them, the entire military formation was several miles wide and several miles long, at least no less than 100,000 people.

    In fact, there should be no old, weak, sick or disabled people in the Chuang Army. They were handed over to Zhu Ba by Chuang King Gao Yingxiang outside Tongguan. Unexpectedly, a few years later, Li Zicheng brought so many old and weak people to join the army. Zhu Yuanzhang transferred  After thinking about it, I realized that this was because after he invented the children's song "Don't pay for food", he won for him and followed him desperately. Looking at this momentum, there will be more in the near future.

    "If you let him operate like this for a few years, it won't be a problem to recruit an army of millions of thieves.

    in history.  In the 13th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng invented the children's song "Don't pay for food" after he accepted Prince Li Yan. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, he overthrew the Ming Dynasty with a million troops. In other words, it only took him four years to create this slogan.  It won him an army of millions.  At this time, the power of children's songs has been revealed, and an army of one hundred thousand is scary enough.

    When Li Zicheng arrived, the scene became even more ridiculous. There was an agate mountain in the middle. Zhang Xianzhong's troops were stationed on the mountain, and Li Zicheng from Shannan was stationed.  Zhu Yuanzhang in the north of the mountain.  All the heroes in the world gathered together, staring at each other.

    The three armies faced each other from a distance. In order to avoid misunderstandings, they all ordered to stabilize their positions almost at the same time.  They faced each other several miles away.  The three-party military formation begins.  All three leaders came out.

    Zhu Yuanzhang came out with a group of leaders, and when he saw Li Zicheng coming across with a group of leaders, both parties put on a kind smile on their faces.  But there was a sharp light in his eyes.  Zhang Xianzhong, who came down the hillside, still looked fearless.

    Li Zicheng was the first to speak: "Hey, isn't this Brother Baishui Zhuba? I heard that you were hunting for food in Guangyuan and Bazhou, why did you suddenly start moving south?"

    Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the other party was pretending to be confused, but he didn't point it out. He just said calmly: "I heard that there is a war in the south. I will come and block it. Don't let cats, dogs or other messy things get into my territory."

    Li Zicheng chuckled and said, "Does the four words "cat and cat" refer to me and me?"

    Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "How can that be possible? Of course I am talking about Yang Sichang."

    Li Zicheng thought to himself: Do you think I am a fool?  He was obviously referring to me, but now he changed his mind and said it was Yang Sichang.

    Zhu Yuanzhang also thought to himself: See if this guy will be angry, and how will he handle it?

    But I saw that Li Zicheng was not angry, and still had a smile on his face: "It turns out to be Yang Sichang. That guy is really a cat and a dog. He has no ability, but he just knows how to chase after me. He is very annoying."

    The two of them chatted for a while, but Zhang Xianzhong beside him became impatient and snorted: "Both of you, stop talking nonsense. It's better for me to speak." He snatched the conversation away, pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Don't let me  Enter your territory!" Then he turned around and pointed at Li Zicheng and said, "You won't let me enter your territory either."

    Finally, he pointed back at his head and said: "I won't let you enter my territory! Guangyuan in the north belongs to you Zhu Ba, I recognize it, and Deyang in the south belongs to you Li Zicheng, and I also recognize it, but this Agate Mountain  Hmph, it belongs to me, Zhang Xianzhong, don¡¯t fight with me, just go back to your own territory."

    This man is really extremely crazy. After saying one sentence, he offended Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zicheng at the same time.

    Zhu Yuanzhang felt secretly funny, and Li Zicheng also felt that this guy was quite cunning.  The two simply ignored Zhang Xianzhong and continued chatting across Zhang Xianzhong.

    Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Brother Chuang Wang, how many officers and soldiers are chasing you in the south?"

    Li Zicheng said with a smile: "It's not much, just 40,000 to 50,000 yuan"

    Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Oh, it seems there are not many." Although he was smiling, he secretly screamed trouble. The Zhu army soldiers brought into Sichuan this time were only 25,000, because Shaanxi still had to stay.  A large number of soldiers came to guard to prevent Sun Chengzong from Shanxi and the officers and soldiers from Henan from invading Shaanxi. It was impossible for him to bring all the troops to Sichuan.Later, his strength seemed a bit weak in front of Yang Sichang, and it would be a bit difficult to defeat the officers and soldiers alone.

    Li Zicheng chuckled. He just reported the total strength of the officers and soldiers just to scare Zhu Ba. Unexpectedly, Zhu Ba had a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all. This was something Li Zicheng had prepared in advance.  It is inconvenient to say a word of lobbying.

    Originally, what he thought was that if Zhu Ba was frightened, he would say: "Let's work together to defeat the enemy." But there was no response at all, so it was inconvenient for him to turn the conversation to that.  Now that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't fall for it, he didn't know what to say.

    At this time, a young man in green clothes suddenly walked out from behind Li Zicheng. This man was about twenty years old, wearing a Confucian scholar's robe. He had a very good temperament, his gestures were polite, and he could tell at a glance that he was a scholar and a scholar.  This person came forward, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said seriously: "Brother Zhu Ba, although our Chuang Army and your Zhu Jun are not on good terms, we have nothing to do with each other. Why don't we join forces and fight with you?"  The officers and soldiers fight and defeat them In this way, Big Brother can keep Guangyuan and Bazhou. We, the rebel army, can also continue to return to the Chengdu Plain to be happy and happy, which is better than being chased by the officers and soldiers. If we don't work together  , after the officers and soldiers defeat me and continue to move northward, your Guangyuan and Bazhou will not be protected. If the officers and soldiers take advantage of the trend to leave Sichuan and go northward, approaching Hanzhong, Shaanxi will also be in danger."

    The rhythm of this person¡¯s speech is neither fast nor slow, and he does not empty his book bag and speak incomprehensible words like other scholars. Instead, he expresses his intention simply and clearly.  Let people understand it as soon as they hear it.

    Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes couldn't help but focus on this person.  His brows furrowed slightly, this personhe knew him!  In my last life, when I was watching the world from the air, I saw this face several times. This person was none other than the famous Mr. Li Yan.  The guy who made up that annoying children's song.

    An unexpected combination of circumstances.  Mr. Li Yan came out three years early.  He is only in his early twenties now. Although he is young, wisdom can already be seen in his eyes.  What is outstanding is a display of talent, which makes people feel a sense of love for talent at first sight.

    Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Li Yan's proposal was very good, but he made a mistake in one sentence. The two armies did not have festivals before, but since Li Yan compiled that nursery rhyme, festivals have already happened It was not only Li Zicheng who sent to Zhu Jun's territory to spread it  The spies of the children's songs were all killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and after the children's songs compiled by Zhu Yuanzhang entered Li Zicheng's ears, Li Zicheng became wary.

    Both of them have regarded each other as a serious problem.

    Although Zhang Xianzhong was cruel, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes he was just a madman and not a big threat.  But Li Zicheng's children's songs may shake the foundation of Zhu Jun's existence, that is, the mass base. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang has already listed Li Zicheng as a must-kill target in his heart. Where is there still no holiday?  It should be very festive.

    Of course, these thoughts can only be circulated in the mind and cannot be expressed in the mouth.  He was thinking about how to deal with it, but he heard Zhang Xianzhong snorted coldly: "I don't want to join forces with you to retreat any officers and soldiers. Outside Bazhou City, I joined forces with Zhu Ba and Luo Rucai to fight, and Bazhou was defeated."  I haven't even gotten a hair out of Zhu Ba's occupation, so why should I bother to meddle in your business?"

    Luo Rucai hurriedly said: "Hey, Eight Great Kings, how can you say that? Didn't you get one hundred thousand taels? Then it's me"

    Zhang Xianzhong snorted and said: "I didn't get it from Zhu Ba. I'm not happy after all. If you want me to join forces with you, don't even mention it. I'll go." After finishing speaking, Zhang Xianzhong turned his head and said to himself  Gu Zidi returned to Agate Mountain and left Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zicheng here alone.

    Li Zicheng snorted: "This bastard is finally gone."

    Zhu Yuanzhang also sneered and said nothing.

    Li Yan, who was standing in the field, rolled his eyes and chuckled: "Wan Sheng originally had no strategy to use against the officers and soldiers, but after hearing the words of the Eight Kings, he suddenly had a strategy to use"

    Li Zicheng was overjoyed and asked: "Oh? What's the plan?" He trusted his new military advisor very much and knew that he had talents in the world, so he was like a fish in water asking for advice on everything.

    Li Yan was about to say something, but he glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, obviously not wanting outsiders to hear.

    Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly and said: "Actually, I also have a plan. I don't know if it is the same as Mr. Li's."

    The two looked at each other for a few times, and both saw a hint of cunning in the other's eyes.  Li Yan said: "In this case, we might as well write the strategy in the palm of our hand and unfold it at the same time to see if it is the same."

    Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. He also wanted to see Li Yan's abilities. Although he had seen Li Yan's abilities in his previous life when he was wandering around the world, he still wanted to see Li Yan's abilities.History has changed, and today's situation is far from the original history. For the same general, fighting two different battles in different places, it is very likely that one battle will be fought beautifully, and the other battle will be very good.  A general who fights like shit and is victorious in every battle is not a cabbage that can be found anywhere.

    At that moment, both of them wrote the strategy on their palms, counted "one, two, three", and opened their palms at the same time. Everyone looked at Li Yan's hand first and saw the word "Yin" written in it, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.  Hand, actually is also a word for "lead".

    The leaders, including Li Zicheng, all looked confused.  Liu Zongmin, a general under Li Zicheng, couldn't help shouting: "Military advisor, what character do you write this for? It seems to be the same character as the character on Brother Zhu Ba's hand." It turns out that this guy is illiterate and doesn't know the word "Yin" at all.  .

    On this side, Baishui Wang Er also scratched his head and said, "I seem to have learned this word before, but now I have forgotten it."

    A group of people eagerly waited for the two to explain.

    Zhu Yuanzhang was once a king, and he had long since given up the idea of ??being in the limelight, so he smiled at Li Yan and said, "Let Military Advisor Li do the talking."

    Li Yan nodded. He was still young, and he still belonged to the age group that gave advice and inspired writing. Seeing that everyone was listening to him attentively, he couldn't help but feel a small sense of accomplishment in his heart, so he said seriously: "This plan is just  That's what it takes" His voice gradually became lower and lower, allowing only a few of the most important leaders around him to hear it.

    Everyone was at a loss when they first heard it, but after hearing it, smiles slowly appeared on their faces.  Liu Zongmin couldn't help but laugh and said: "So this can still be done? Military Master Li, you are so insidious. Now Zhang Xianzhong will have to walk away without finishing his meal."

    Wang Er on this side also chuckled and said: "That bastard Zhang Xianzhong has long disliked him. It's only right to let him take the blame, hehehe"
