Chapter 521: Broken Cauldron and Sinking Boat, Overlord of Xishu

"Abandoned Gangneung City?"

"Emperor, what do you want to ......?"

Liu Zongmin and Gu Junen were stunned when they heard Li Zicheng's deployment, what was the emperor pondering? Huya Mountain isn't that urgent, is it? You don't need to abandon Gangneung to protect the tiger's teeth, right?

Moreover, the emperor also has to personally lead the army to attack the public security, the public security is the back road of the Zhu thief, if he is threatened, it is impossible for the Zhu thief to fight Huya Mountain with all his might.

Li Zicheng squinted one eye and whispered: "The Zhu thief came to Huguang just to eat black, so he will definitely keep an eye on Jiangling City!" If Li Guo abandons Jiangling, he will definitely drive in as soon as possible. And as soon as he leaves the police, he will inevitably take with him part of the troops. The mutiny of the Zhu thief staying in the public security will be reduced, and the foreheads will pounce at this time, so that they will be foolproof! ”

Not to mention, Li Zicheng, the founder of the country, still has a level, and after seeing through Zhu Cihong's hole cards, he immediately prescribed the right medicine and formulated a corresponding plan.

"Emperor," Liu Zongmin pondered for a while, "the brothers below are a little tired, so they have to take a break for two or three days before going west." ”

Gu Junen said: "We still have a lot of loot on the public security side, do you want to transport them away?" In addition, there are many ships on the river, how to deal with them? ”

Now Li Zicheng still has prestige, and after making a decision, the following two civil and military officials immediately followed his intentions to make suggestions.

"Rest for two days, and then the whole army will march west!" Li Zicheng said, "As for the looted things, everything that can be divided has been divided...... If you can't divide it, you will burn it with the ships on the river! This is called breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, and that's what the overlord of Western Chu did back then!

Isn't the territory he occupies now the west of the Chu State? It should be the territory occupied by the overlord of Chu back then, right? ”

Not really! Gu Jun'en said in his heart: Although the country name of Western Chu has a western character, the territory is in the east, and Jiangling is the territory of King Gongao of Linjiang. So the emperor, you can't be the overlord of Western Chu, at most you are an overlord of Xishu!

......

"Chitose Lord, Chitose Lord, good news!"

Yan Yingyuan Fei also ran into the main hall of the Jade Lake Palace, tearing his throat and shouting about victory as he ran.

Zhu Cihong was watching the report sent by Ma Shiying at this time - it was also good news! Ma Shiying made another big move in eastern Sichuan, relying on the outstanding performance of Zeng Ying, the commander-in-chief, to defeat Zhang Wenxiu's (Liu Wenxiu's) army twice in the Hezhou Waterway and the Fotuguan land route. Zeng Ying personally led 500 iron cavalry to detour Zhang Wenxiu, and then killed Zhang Guangcai, the governor of the Great Western Army. Zhang Wenxiu suffered heavy losses and had already retired to Chengdu a few days ago.

Now that Ma Shiying can finally concentrate all his efforts on dealing with Li Zicheng, who may advance westward, the situation in eastern Sichuan should be worry-free.

Zhu Cihong was originally worried that there would be a three-legged situation after Li Zicheng entered Sichuan, but now it seems that he is too worried.

Zhang Xianzhong is getting weaker and weaker, and it looks like he is going to fall soon!

And if Li Zicheng takes the "Yunyang-Hanzhong" road into Sichuan, Zhu Cihong really has no tricks. But he stayed in Jingzhou Mansion, and also worked Huya Mountain, Yiling Prefecture, and Guizhou, it seems that he wanted to go along the Yangtze River into Sichuan, and join forces with Zhang Xianzhong to attack the Ming army in Chongqing and Kuizhou. Now it seems that this plan has been completely defeated......

Putting down the fold in his hand, Zhu Cihong was in a good mood, raised his head and looked at Yan Yingyuan with a smile, "Liheng, what's the good thing?" ”

"Chitose Lord," Yan Yingyuan saluted, and then handed over the report written by He Tengjiao in his hand, "Great victory!" Gangneung Victory...... Killed 5,000 enemies, beheaded 800, and captured the entire city of Gangneung! ”

"What?" Zhu Cihong was stunned, "Is there such a thing?" ”

He took the piece and read it word by word. It turned out that the Dashun army guarding Jiangling was bluffed by the action of Wu Guoyong's new army's right division approaching Huya Mountain, and hurriedly abandoned Jiangling City and retreated to Jingmensuo and Dangyangβ€”it seemed that they wanted to make a detour to Dangyang to Yiling Prefecture, and then go east to Huya Mountain.

He Tengjiao and Chang Yanling, who were stationed in Bailizhou and Jiangling bridgeheads, immediately seized the opportunity and dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers (Fubiao and Zhenbiao of the two) to pursue, and caught up with the Dashun army near Jingmen, and then killed them for a while, and got 800 heads...... I don't know if it's a meritorious?

However, Gangneung City has really been captured, which can be regarded as a great achievement!

"Go and ask the Governor of Qin." Zhu Cihong let out a sigh, put down the fold and let the left and right go to invite Qin Liangyu.

Zhu Cihong was self-aware, knowing that he was only a military strategist who could talk on paper, and that he was not capable of commanding an army of 100,000 to confront the enemy on the battlefield. Moreover, the battle of Huguang was not fought by the two sides in a round formation, but a sports war. Zhu Cihong can't command at all, and he doesn't have any talents under him who can really fight sports battles - Wu Xiang may be able to fight a dozen sports battles, but he is not in Huguang.

As for Wu Sanfu, Wu Guoyong, and Li Yan, who are also the materials of the division commanders, they are not good at 100,000 people in large-scale sports warfare.

That is, Qin Liangyu, who has been dealing with Liukou for more than ten years, knows how to fight this kind of sports war.

"Chitose Lord, if the old body didn't hear it wrong...... Qin Liangyu was old and his eyes were not very good, so He Tengjiao's recital was read to her by Yan Yingyuan. After listening, the old woman seemed to want to say something, but she stopped talking.

"Say whatever the old lady wants!" Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "The palace has already played the Ming Sheng, and the old lady is going to be crowned the prince of the country...... What else does the old lady have to say? ”

Zhu Cihong's court did not have the saying that he was noble and martial - his foundation was originally Beifu Wufu, how could it be noble? Therefore, when he was crowned as the Duke of the Kingdom of Victory, he was really a first-class minister, and even the first assistant Wei Zaode could say bad things.

Qin Liangyu nodded and said: "Governor He falsely reported his military exploits, it is impossible for his regimental training to kill Li Zicheng 5,000 people, and most of the 800 beheadings also have water. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, noncommittal.

Although He Tengjiao made false reports, Zhu Cihong would also admit his credit...... After all, He Tengjiao has stood in line in the past two years!

So a marquis always has to be sealed!

In addition, his ability to fight is also useful, and he will be the next governor of Guangdong...... In recent years, the struggle between the Turks and the Turks in Guangdong has been lively, and the officials who will not fight infighting have gone to ensure that the two factions of Cantonese people have no direction.

Qin Liangyu said again: "However, the thieves in Jiangling failed to attack Governor He in an ambush, which means that their number is not large, and they are not elite...... By the way, there's no news from Hanyang, right? ”

"Nothing," Yan Yingyuan said, "Grandpa Xiao Wu has already started shelling Turtle Mountain......

"Where's Huya Mountain?"

"It's nothing," Yan Yingyuan said again, "Master Marshal Wu is building a camp and preparing to attack. ”

Qin Liangyu furrowed his brows, "So...... The troops on the other side of the stone head are likely to be the main force of the rogues! ”

Of course, Zhu Cihong's side doesn't know where Li Zicheng's main force is? It is not so easy to find the enemy's main force in sports warfare, and it is usually necessary to try slowly and then speculate based on the results of the trial.

Qin Liangyu proposed to attack Jiangling (later changed to force Huya Mountain first to test the movement of Jiangling), in fact, he wanted to try out or fish out Li Zicheng's main force.

"Old lady......" Zhu Cihong saw Qin Liangyu's face suddenly become extremely solemn at this time, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Liangyu nodded and said, "Li Zicheng abandoned Jiangling...... It's a little wrong! ”

"How?"

"If he wants to save Huya Mountain and Jiangling, then he won't abandon the city," Qin Liangyu said, "But he just abandoned the city, which means that we haven't been able to mobilize him." ”

"Then Li Zicheng will ......"

Qin Liangyu said: "There are two possibilities, one is to retreat to Xiangyang and prepare to take the northern route into Sichuan; The second is ...... It's time for the police! ”

"What? Come to the police? Does he know that this palace is in the police? Zhu Cihong became nervous. Although he had two or three thousand cavalry by his side and could run away at any time, Li Zicheng's old battalion was not a joke!
