Since mid-February, the men and horses of the Dazhong army have launched a comprehensive attack on his last territory, Hanzhong Mansion, the Dazhong army is strong at this time, and his Dashun army has become a frightened bird.

In just a few days, the prefectures and counties of Hanzhong Prefecture were broken one by one by the Dazhong Army, and the remnants of the Dashun army surrendered to the Dazhong Army one after another.

In the past few days, the generals under the command of Li Zicheng fell one by one under the knife of the Dazhong Army, first Liu Zongmin died in Lizhou, and then Liu Tichun who finally escaped back to Hanzhong was killed by the Dazhong Army in Fengxian, and then Li Shuangxi was defeated by the Dazhong Army in Hanyin, and was captured by the Dazhong Army on the spot, Yan Chongxi was angry that he slaughtered the people that day, and after capturing Li Shuangxi, he immediately ordered his head to be shown to the public, after these months of time, Li Zicheng's heavy generals withered away, Until now, only Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu are still by his side.

Before the war, the 300,000 Dashun army, at this time, died to death, fled, surrendered, and surrendered, and now Li Zicheng has less than 30,000 soldiers and horses left, and Chen is stationed around the city of Hanzhong.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers and horses, and there were fewer and fewer generals, Li Zicheng had to reactivate Tian Jianxiu as his guard general, leading the soldiers and horses to garrison the two gates in the southwest of Hanzhong Fucheng for him, while Li Guo was responsible for the imperial guards in the northeast and northeast.

The morale of the Dashun army had already fallen into the crotch of the pants by this time, and all the soldiers and generals were panicking, waiting for their doomsday.

Li Shuangxi and Tian Jianxiu both proposed that Li Zicheng simply abandon the city of Hanzhong, follow the example of the past, escape into the mountains and forests, and find a place to seek revival, but Li Zicheng did not agree to their request and resolutely defended the city of Hanzhong.

In fact, it's not that Li Zicheng doesn't want to escape into the mountains and forests to seek recovery like he did back then, but now Li Zicheng has also seen that the Dazhong Dynasty has a solid foundation, and all the people have returned to their hearts, and his Dashun has been in Shaanxi in the past two years, violent and rebellious, and has long been unpopular with the people.

Li Zicheng knew very well that even if he gave up everything again and escaped into the mountains and forests, now that the people's hearts were no longer on his side, he had no possibility of recovery at all.

What's more, according to the report of Tanma, now the Dazhong Army has surrounded Hanzhong Mansion, and almost all the passages leading to the outside of Hanzhong have appeared with soldiers and horses of the Dazhong Army, firmly surrounding Hanzhong Mansion in the middle, even if he gives up Hanzhong Mansion, he may not be able to escape like he did back then.

What's more, he is now a dignified "Emperor Dashun", his identity is different, and Li Zicheng himself can't let go of the shelf, and he will be a rogue like he did back then.

Moreover, the Dazhong Army was not the Ming Army of the year, and the generals who were responsible for attacking him were all military generals of the Dazhong Army, and there were no civilian officials involved, at most, the civilian officials of the Great China and North Korea were responsible for the logistics supply of the following military, and the generals of the Dazhong Army were not like the generals of the Ming Army, who did not fight, or were greedy for money, so that the bribery methods he had used to deal with the Ming Army were also unfeasible, and he could only sit and wait in the Hanzhong Mansion.

At this point, Li Zicheng really regretted it, if he knew that there would be today, it would be better to surrender Xiao Tianjian like Zhang Xianzhong, so that with their relationship, Xiao Tianjian would not kill him, and at worst, let him be like Zhang Xianzhong, now he is a rich man somewhere in Shanxi, although his freedom is restricted, but at least there is no worry about life.

But there is everything to sell in this world, that is, there is no regret medicine to sell, Li Zicheng knows that even if he surrenders now, Xiao Tianjian will not leave him alive anymore.

So now the result of surrendering or not is the same, so Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and stayed in Hanzhong Mansion, wanting to fight with the Dazhong Army.

Just when Li Zicheng was sitting in his temporary "palace" in Hanzhong Mansion, Tian Jianxiu was full of nervousness and asked to see him outside the palace, Li Zicheng was in a bad mood, but he had to summon him to meet him.

"Enlighten the saint, something is wrong! The Dazhong army is divided into three routes, and it has approached about ten miles outside the city, and now General Li is leading the troops to fight with it, and it is estimated that it will not last long, and I hope that the saint will quickly go out of the city and leave here! Weichen is willing to desperately protect the saint to break out, and I hope the saint will not hesitate anymore! As soon as Tian Jianxiu saw Li Zicheng, he immediately reported to him.

Li Zicheng smiled bitterly, glanced around at the dilapidated palace, and asked Tian Jianxiu, "Go?" Where else can I go now? ”

"Holy! As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, rather than sitting in this place, it is better to leave first and find another way out, if once the Dazhong army is in the city, even if the saint wants to go, I am afraid it will be too late! I hope that the Holy One will not hesitate any longer!

Wechen has already gathered three thousand elites and is waiting at the West Gate, ready to escort and break through at any time, it will really be too late to do so! Tian Jianxiu persuaded Li Zicheng with a worried face.

At this time, Li Zicheng suddenly heard a burst of artillery in the east of the city, and the sound of artillery could be heard here, which meant that the Great Chinese Army was not far away, although he did have the idea of dying with the city a few days ago, but now when he heard the sound of cannons, his mind was still shaken.

He looked at Tian Jianxiu, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and sighed: "I want you and I to rebel back then, in order to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, but now I don't think about it, but I have come to this point, the old brothers have left me one by one, and only you are still by my side!"

Seeing Xiu, am I really wrong? Why is he a thief better than me? ”

"Holy Lord, don't think about these things at this time! That thief is just a villain, if it wasn't for the saint to bring him back then, how could he be today!

Don't look at him rampant now, but as long as the saint takes refuge for a while, he will definitely be able to revive the majesty of the year, and now please clean up quickly and evacuate this place quickly!

There is now Li Guo dragging the Dazhong army outside the city, and if the saint wants to leave now, it is not too late, but it must not be delayed any longer! Don't hide it from the saint, now that the soldiers and horses outside the city have lost all their will to fight, and Weichen is powerless to control, it is already unbearable to fight, only the last three thousand soldiers are left, and they have not mutinied, if they don't leave now, they will really have every chance! Please make a quick decision! Tian Jianxiu didn't bother to say anything more to him, and urged again and again.

Li Zicheng has no ambition until now, when he learned that most of the soldiers and horses outside the city have mutinied, he panicked, what is the coexistence and death of the city, he has forgotten it at this time, so he said to Tian Jianxiu: "Until now, I can only hear your words!" Unexpectedly, you were the only one left by my side in the end! I'm sorry for you! ”

Tian Jianxiu's eyes flashed a hint of discoloration, but he immediately covered it up again, bowed his head and said: "Why did the saint say this, Weichen was the first to follow the saint to raise troops, how can he be disloyal to the saint, as for the rest, Weichen has never complained to the saint, and I hope the saint will leave quickly!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded and agreed, at this time, even the city of Hanzhong began to be in chaos, everywhere there were adults screaming, children crying, some of the Dashun soldiers in the city, instead of going out of the city to help the war, but took advantage of this time, in the city to sweep up, listening to the crying in the city, Li Zicheng hurriedly took the guards to start packing things.

Over the years, Li Zicheng has collected a lot of gold and silver treasures in Shaanxi, and when he abandoned Xi'an Mansion, Li Zicheng basically brought these things out, but now he is exhausted, even if there are so many gold and silver treasures, it is too late to take them all, so under the urging of Tian Jianxiu, Li Zicheng ordered his five hundred guards to load a batch of gold and silver, as for his concubines, Li Zicheng could not take them away, if he took them, I am afraid that there was no chance to escape at all, so Li Zicheng was ruthless, ordered these concubines to commit suicide.

Some concubines didn't want to die, but Li Zicheng didn't want to leave them to the Dazhong Army, he was really afraid of cuckolding, so he ordered on the spot to let the guards do it, kill all the dozens of concubines, and only take his Empress Gao out of the palace with Tian Jianxiu.

At this time, there was already a mess inside and outside the city, and when they learned that the Dazhong Army had arrived, a considerable number of Dashun troops immediately collapsed when they heard about it, except for Li Guoshang who controlled a group of soldiers and horses, and was trying to block the Dazhong Army, the rest of the Dashun army had already been scattered, and only the three thousand men and horses around Tian Jianxiu were left.

Because the situation was very chaotic, Li Zicheng didn't know what the situation was on Li Guo's side, so he sent someone to tell Li Guo, and asked Li Guo to find a way to delay the Dazhong Army for some more time, as for himself, under the escort of Tian Jianxiu, he hurriedly went out of the West Gate and fled in the direction of Ningqiang Prefecture.

Li Zicheng looked around at the surrounding Dashun generals, and saw that they were all yellow-skinned and thin, and their expressions were panicked, and even his guards became like frightened birds at this time, surrounding him in a chaotic manner, and running along the avenue in a hurry.

In order to prevent these remnants of the defeated generals from mutiniing again, Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and ordered the guards to carry a few boxes of silver out of the car, and immediately distributed them to these soldiers, each rewarding twenty taels of silver, but these soldiers and generals only took the silver numbly, and even did not even thank him, and after folding up the silver, he hurriedly continued on the road.

Now silver is no longer their favorite thing, and twenty taels of silver is not as good as giving each of these Dashun generals a bucket of millet, which may make them more grateful.

Under the strangulation policy of the Dazhong Army, Hanzhong Mansion has not received a little foreign aid for several months, and the only remaining grain has been quickly consumed by the Dashun Army.

Not long after Li Zicheng was escorted out of Hanzhong Mansion by Tian Jianxiu, the Dashun army led by Li Guo fled back to Hanzhong Mansion under the defeat of Yan Chongxi and Liu Bao, when Li Guo returned to Hanzhong Mansion, he knew that Li Zicheng had escaped from Hanzhong and fled to Ningqiang Prefecture. By the time he fled back to Hanzhong Mansion with more than 2,000 remnants of the defeated generals, the city was already in chaos.

Li Guo had the intention to defend the city and hold the Dazhong Army for a period of time, creating more opportunities for Li Zicheng to escape, but the Dazhong Army came too fast, and before Li Guo could deploy defenses in the city, the vanguard of the Dazhong Army had already been killed outside the city.

Some of the Dashun troops saw that the situation was not good, and immediately abandoned the city, and some people even opened the city gate and surrendered to the Dazhong army, so that Li Guo could not hold out in the Hanzhong Mansion for long at all, and the entire Hanzhong Mansion City was captured by the Dazhong Army in one fell swoop.

Li Guo learned that the city gate was broken, so he took hundreds of remnants of the army to try to escape out of the west gate, but was blocked by a small group of large Chinese troops, after a good fight, Li Guo finally failed to break through and escape, but was injured on the spot and captured, so far Li Zicheng's last entrenched stronghold Hanzhong Mansion was also declared to be recovered by the large Chinese army.
