Chapter 285: Pingyang Mansion
Li Zicheng listened to Liu Zongmin's opinion, and in order to continue to reap the benefits, he did not withdraw his troops in time, but continued to search for everything that could be taken away in the suburbs of Pingyang Mansion.
However, Chongzhen also quickly learned that Mao Wenlong did not want to send troops to Shanxi, so he left only a little force to defend Mao Wenlong in case of accidents. The rest of the troops were all concentrated in Pingyang Mansion and directly and quietly surrounded Li Zicheng's army.
As soon as the two sides met, they immediately fought, and the imperial army came with anger. Li Zicheng's army had the mentality of robbery and had no intention of fighting. So as soon as the two armies met, Li Zicheng's army had been fleeing.
But Chongzhen had already laid a big net, and at this moment it was time for him to close the net, and the imperial army began to surround the rebel army from all directions. A vicious battle in Binh Duong Mansion has begun!
Although Mao Wenlong did not participate in the war, he still kept an eye on the progress of the war. When he learned that Li Zicheng's rebel army was retreating one after another, he already understood that Li Zicheng was bound to be defeated, and there was no chance of turning over at all.
"It seems that Li Zicheng is reaping the consequences of his own actions this time, and his greed has also hurt him!" Mao Wenlong said with emotion.
"What's the harm in this, the decision was made by himself, and it wasn't someone else who forced him to continue to grab things in Pingyang Mansion." Hong Chengchou couldn't get used to Mao Wenlong's sudden sadness and pity.
Mao Wenlong saw that Hong Chengchou's tone was very impulsive, and he seemed to be displeased, so he asked casually: "What, do you have something unpleasant, say it and listen to it, maybe I can solve it for you." ”
Hong Chengchou was slightly stunned, but finally confessed: "Actually, it's nothing, I just can't get used to that Li Zicheng." It's really infuriating to play a good game of chess like this. ”
Mao Wenlong nodded understandingly: "You are obviously the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry, he Li Zicheng is alive or dead, and he has nothing to do with you." ”
Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "It's not that I feel sorry for him, but I feel sorry for this matter." ”
Mao Wenlong paused, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, if you want to be a pity, just follow the pity." I'll leave this matter to your attention, and let me know if there are any major changes. If there's no reversal, you'll have to do it. ”
After speaking, Mao Wenlong got up and left and went back to his study. Nowadays, all localities will send reports to Mao Wenlong every day to report the situation in each city and the grain growth that he is most concerned about recently.
Mao Wenlong also had to review these Tang newspapers and reply to these people one by one, which is almost the same as being the emperor.
Hong Chengchou knew what Mao Wenlong was going to do, and he didn't have any excuses, and took over what Mao Wenlong handed him over. In fact, it's just a matter of checking the battle reports that are sent in every day, and then paying attention to the latest developments.
After Li Zicheng's army confronted the imperial army, after fighting for less than two days, it was in a comprehensive emergency, and it was completely surrounded by the imperial army and could not get out.
"Let's all discuss whether we should send troops to rescue the troops in Pingyang Mansion, you all have a good discussion, I need a satisfactory answer in an hour." Li Zicheng was very tough this time, and did not give his subordinates any chance to justify or shirk at all, and after giving the order directly, he left on his own.
The previous proposals were all made by Liu Zongmin, and he naturally bears the main responsibility at this moment.
Everyone else looked at him, and none of them spoke or discussed, apparently suggesting that he had to find a way to get through this crisis.
Liu Zongmin obviously didn't want to bear all the charges himself, he sneered: "Don't expect me to come up with any more ideas, it's good that I'm your eldest brother, but if you rely on me for nothing, you can also see the consequences." ”
was broken by Liu Zongmin's words, and everyone's faces were suddenly embarrassed, but they couldn't refute Liu Zongmin. After all, he was the first to stand up and take care of the matter before, and now that there is a problem, everyone should bear it.
Yingshanjian, the second child, stood up with a haha to break the embarrassing atmosphere in front of him: "What the eldest brother said is extremely true, and all the mistakes are our fault. But the eldest brother can't leave the burden and quit, after all, it is the 50,000 army that is surrounded by the imperial army, if we don't rescue it, none of us can afford this consequence, right? ”
Liu Zongmin snorted coldly, but he didn't complain about anything more. Seeing that the matter had calmed down for the time being, the others hurriedly began to discuss whether to send troops to rescue.
In fact, at present, Li Zicheng's troops in Shaanxi are less than 30,000, and if he wants to go to the rescue, he has to give up the whole of Shaanxi. This is definitely not allowed by Li Zicheng. After all, he planned to come to Shaanxi from the beginning, in order to wait for Henan's grain to mature, so that he could get the moon close to the water and get the moon first, and then grab it.
This is Li Zicheng's ultimate goal, but if he doesn't send troops to rescue him, no one can accept this result by seeing the 50,000 army being wiped out by the army of the imperial court like this.
No matter how much people discussed, they still couldn't come up with a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
Li Zicheng returned to the hall an hour later, and when he first arrived at the door, he heard a lively discussion in the hall, thinking that they should have come up with a solution.
But when he entered the hall and asked about it, everyone fell silent again.
Li Zicheng suddenly became angry, slammed the table and roared: "Have you discussed a way?" ”
This time, Liu Zongmin obviously no longer made a bird, no matter how others gave him a look or hint. He pretended not to know, which made everyone else helpless.
In the end, Yingshan couldn't resist the pressure and stood up and said to Li Zicheng: "King Chuang, my subordinates think that we should send troops to the rescue, if we just don't care about the 50,000 soldiers who are surrounded by the enemy." I'm afraid that everyone in the army will be chilled in the future. ”
Li Zicheng paused for a moment and said coldly: "Then where do you want to send troops to the rescue?" ”
Ying Shanjian hesitated for a moment, and simply said bluntly: "In fact, we can only do it for a while when we send troops to rescue, after all, we only have more than 30,000 soldiers and horses left, but we still need to be on duty in Shaanxi." Therefore, the original intention of the subordinates was to send troops and then make a show to make the soldiers in the army feel at ease. ”
After listening to Yingshanjian's explanation, Li Zicheng fell into silence, which was completely his plan to directly give up the 50,000 army. But there seems to be only one way in front of him, and the court is obviously very angry this time, and it will definitely not retreat easily.
"Alas......"
Li Zicheng finally let out a heavy sigh, then shook his head lightly and left silently, and when he arrived at the door, he said without looking back: "How to deal with this matter, Yingshanjian, you can make up your mind." ”
