"Of course, give!"
After listening to Niu Jinxing's questioning, Leng Feng took out a piece of white silk from his arms and handed it to Niu Jinxing.
Niu Jinxing walked over, took the white silk, opened it, and his face changed suddenly, because there was no handwriting on the white silk, there was only one seal, and it was Li Zixiao's 'General Zhenguo' seal.
When Niu Jinxing saw the seal, he already believed that most of this person was really a person sent by Li Zixiao, and at this time, Li Zixiao was named the general of Zhenguo by Chongzhen, and Li Zicheng naturally knew about it.
And when Niu Jinxing handed the white silk with the seal to Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng glanced at it, snorted coldly, and threw it on the wooden case.
Li Zicheng was unhappy because he knew that Li Zixiao, the position of a general, was climbed up by stepping on them.
"What did General Lee send you to us? He is now the general of the imperial court, so it doesn't seem appropriate to send you to contact our group of anti-thieves!
Or is it that General Li is really confused, and he sent you to Zhao'an us, in that case, it is estimated that there is little chance that you will be able to leave alive. ”
Niu Jinxing stood in front of Leng Feng and said with a smile.
"Haha, you are a smart person, of course my general will not come to Zhao'an for you, my general has already said that you are hardcore bandits, it is impossible to be Zhao'an."
Leng Feng laughed out loud and said.
"Hmph, it's good that the surname Li knows, what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd, you hurry up and say, this king's patience is limited."
At this time, Li Zicheng said coldly.
Leng Feng saw that Li Zicheng was a little impatient, and he knew that it was time to explain his intentions, so he said directly: "My general asked me to contact King Chuang, hoping to meet King Chuang." ”
"Meet? I'm idle, why do I see him, and be humiliated by her in person! ”
Li Zicheng said angrily, Li Zicheng has not let go of the mustard last time he failed in Yiyang.
"Of course not, my general knows that King Chuang is accumulating strength and preparing to storm Luoyang, and just a few days ago, Lord Lu Xiangsheng issued an order in Luoyang.
Ask to mobilize our army stationed in Ruzhou and go to Luoyang ......" Speaking of this, Leng Feng deliberately slowed down his words and looked at Li Zicheng in front of him.
Leng Feng keenly caught that when Li Zicheng heard the news, his eyes were also fixed, and his face changed slightly, because he knew what it meant.
He has personally experienced the strength of the White Dragon Army under Li Zixiao, to be honest, although Li Zicheng hates Li Zixiao very much.
But after the battle of Yiyang, Li Zicheng was already very jealous of Li Zixiao's White Dragon Army in his heart.
If he could, Li Zicheng would never choose to fight the White Dragon Army at this time, and once the White Dragon Army was transferred to Luoyang, it would increase the difficulty of attacking Luoyang by several times.
Originally, Li Zicheng did not have a lot of confidence in capturing Luoyang this time, otherwise he would not have recruited soldiers and trained soldiers after defeating Lu Xiangsheng.
“…… However, my general refused. Leng Feng pulled a long tone and finally said.
After Leng Feng's words came out, Li Zicheng was a little puzzled and didn't quite understand what it meant.
However, after Niu Jinxing next to him heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up at this time, and he turned his head to look at Leng Feng, with joy on his face, and even a little excited.
When Li Zicheng asked Niu Jinxing about his evaluation of Li Zixiao before, Niu Jinxing hesitated for a long time, and finally he only said to Li Zicheng: "This person seems to be Liu Jun (Liu Bei), but he is actually a thief."
'The capable minister who rules the world, the hero of the troubled times', is also very appropriate to use on this person.
This person seems to be loyal to Daming, but in fact, everything he does is for the interests of his own hands.
The subordinates once sent someone to carefully understand Li Zixiao's fortune, and the subordinates should guarantee that Chongzhen will not die, this person will not rebel, once the Ming Dynasty is dead, this person will definitely usurp the country. ”
Niu Jinxing's words can be regarded as breaking the essence of Li Zixiao.
Don't say it, Li Zixiao at this time is really like Cao Cao, but he is a little more conservative than Cao Cao.
It was precisely because Niu Jinxing saw Li Zixiao more clearly, so when Leng Feng said this, Niu Jinxing had a bold idea in his heart.
With this idea is very amazing, but on Li Zixiao's body, Niu Venus is not unusual.
"Li Zixiao really refused?"
At this time, even Li Zicheng thought of something, looked at Leng Feng and asked, his tone softened a lot, and he began to call Li Zixiao's name instead of 'surnamed Li'.
"Of course."
At this time, Li Zicheng also saw Niu Jinxing glaring at him, so he continued to ask: "Li Zixiao will never see me for nothing, and he is not afraid that the court will know that his position as a general is not guaranteed?" ”
"When my general met King Chuang, he naturally talked about cooperation, and as for this meeting, of course, it was kept secret and would not let the court know.
King Chuang doesn't want to take Luoyang, my general can help King Chuang and make a deal with King Chuang, and King Chuang doesn't want to see it, my general will lead the army to Luoyang.
At that time, to put it mildly, if Luoyang was guarded by my general, it would be impossible for you to fight it. ”
Leng Feng said with a smile.
"Hmph, hubris!" Liu Tichun, who was on the side, heard Leng Feng's words and said coldly.
But in fact, he was also very empty in his heart, because he had to admit that if he really wanted to say that Li Zixiao led the White Dragon Army to defend Luoyang, it would add great difficulty to their attack on Luoyang.
"Haha!"
At this time, Li Zicheng did not get angry, but laughed, and then said: "It turns out that he and I are the same people, but this king is not as insidious as him, and his belly is black." ”
By this time, Li Zicheng had completely believed what Niu Jinxing had said to him before, and Li Zixiao did not have much loyalty to Daming.
"Okay, you go back and tell Li Zixiao that I promised to meet him, when and where?"
At this time, Li Zicheng was very much looking forward to the meeting with Li Zixiao, in fact, in his heart, he already had a strong curiosity and fear of Li Zixiao.
It is curious how such a young and young person has grown into such a behemoth in just a few years.
You must know that he has rebelled for more than ten years, with ups and downs, life and death, and has experienced a lot, but until now, the power in his hands is not as strong as Li Zixiao's.
This made Li Zicheng very unwilling, and for Li Zixiao, Li Zicheng was even more jealous, because he felt that Li Zixiao might be his enemy in the future.
However, at this time, Li Zicheng was more interested in Li Zixiao wanting to meet him and discuss the so-called 'cooperation'.
Because, this is a matter of whether he can capture Luoyang, whether his army of rogues can continue to grow in the future, and whether his future can be continued.
"Five days later, in the south of Song County, the two sides are only allowed to bring no more than ten guards, and within a radius of ten miles from Woniuling, no trace of the armies of both sides is allowed.
My general really wants to talk about cooperation with King Chuang this time, presumably King Chuang is also a smart person and will not act recklessly. ”
Leng Feng opened his mouth and said, and finally did not forget to warn Li Zicheng, worried that Li Zicheng would design an ambush for Li Zixiao.
"Hmph, this king is not as despicable as Li Zixiao, as long as this king agrees, he will keep his promise." Li Zicheng snorted coldly.
Actually, at this time, Li Zicheng is really not very good at ambushing Li Zixiao, if what Leng Feng said, Li Zixiao wants to cooperate with him is true.
So this matter, for Li Zicheng, in the short term, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages, and it is too late for him to cooperate, how can he ambush Li Zixiao at this time.
Li Zicheng is still quite strategic, he can distinguish priorities, and he is patient enough, and he will not be confused because of his hatred for Li Zixiao.
Moreover, Woniuling, Song County, which Li Zixiao selected, is also a carefully selected meeting place.
On the one hand, a few months ago, Li Zicheng had been stationed in the area of Song County, and he was familiar with it, so it was easy to dispel Li Zicheng's concerns.
On the other hand, the terrain in the area of Woniuling is relatively flat, and if a large group of people appear, it is easy to be spotted.
Such a location is more suitable for the meeting of the two, after all, they are not afraid of 10,000, but they are afraid that in case, the subordinates of both sides will not agree to the two of them taking risks.
"Is it Woniu Ridge in Song County? What do you think? ”
Li Zicheng groaned, and then looked at Niu Jinxing, Li Guo and the others, after all, even if Li Zicheng had been stationed in Song County before, he was not very familiar with the surrounding terrain.
Who made him the leader, it is impossible to understand all these little things, so he can only ask his subordinates.
"King Chuang, the terrain around Woniuling is flat, there is no danger to defend, and it is not suitable for ambushes, but it is a suitable place to meet." Li Guo nodded and said.
After listening to Li Guo's words, Li Zicheng had a bottom in his heart, and said to Leng Feng: "If you go back to report to Li Zixiao, just say that this king has agreed, and five days later, see you in Woniuling." ”
"King Chuang is happy, then he will retire in the future, and when the time comes, my general will give King Chuang a meeting gift when they meet."
After speaking, Leng Feng left Li Zicheng's military camp, and Li Zicheng did not embarrass him.
As soon as Leng Feng left Li Zicheng's military camp, he rode to a mountain col a few miles away, where an elite group of more than ten people was waiting for him.
"Lord Director." Leng Feng saw Zhang Fugui and shouted respectfully.
"Leng Feng, how's it going?"
"Lord Qiyu, fortunately, Li Zicheng agreed."
"Okay, Leng Feng, you have made a great contribution this time, and when you go back, I will ask the general for your credit." Zhang Fugui said excitedly.
"Thank you, Lord Director."
"Let's go, go back and inform the general."
Subsequently, Zhang Fugui left with a group of people.
……………………………………
At this time, Li Zixiao was in Ruzhou City, and received an order from Lu Xiangsheng, ordering him to lead the White Dragon Army stationed in Ruzhou to Luoyang in the near future.
This time, of course, Li Zixiao will not refuse, and then he will send an order and tell Lu Xiangsheng that after he arranges the defense of Ruzhou, he will go north to Luoyang as soon as possible.
After getting Li Zixiao's reply, Lu Xiangsheng was finally satisfied, and did not continue to send orders.
"Hey, it seems that the imperial court really can't take out the army and defend Luoyang, otherwise Lu Xiangsheng wouldn't be so eager for me to lead the troops north."
Li Zixiao put down Lu Xiangsheng's handwriting, sighed, and said to the generals around him.
At this time, the Tartars were about to move outside the pass, and they were fighting Ning Jin's idea.
The Holy Lord is mobilizing all the elite troops in the country and preparing to go to the Guanwai, under the command of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, to prepare for a battle with the Tartars.
At this time, it was impossible for the imperial court to allocate troops to Luoyang, and the defense of Luoyang could only rely on the defenders of Luoyang and the little troops in the hands of Lord Lu.
But this is not enough at all, those defenders in Luoyang have long been overwhelmed, and it is estimated that they will not be able to hold Luoyang only by relying on the little strength in the hands of Lord Lu.
That's why at this time, Lord Lu was so anxious and ordered us to go north to Luoyang. Qi Wei then analyzed.
Although Li Zixiao is in Daming, he has always paid more attention to the movements outside the customs and the imperial court, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to let Zhang Fugui build an intelligence network inside and outside the customs and the imperial court.
Now that more than three years have passed, Zhang Fugui's intelligence bureau has extended its tentacles to the outside of the Guan, and it is all over the capital, and he can also know the situation of the Tartars outside the Guanxi in time.
And Li Zixiao's memory is about the same time, according to the report of the Intelligence Bureau.
In March of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji sent Ji'er Harang and Duoduo to lead the army to build a city in Yizhou and prepare to launch an offensive against the Ming army again.
Yiju is located on the bank of the Daling River between Quang Ninh and Jinju, the terrain is open, the land is fertile, and the city of Tuntian is built here, in fact, the Tartars have established an outpost position to attack Jin.
At the same time, once the Tartar army began to besiege Jinzhou, it could immediately become an excellent logistics supply base.
The move of Tartar Tuntian Yizhou clearly exposed Huang Taiji's new strategic intention at the current stage, that is, to besiege Jinzhou.
Now stationed in Jinzhou City, it is the ancestor of the Jinzhou general who hung the seal of the forward general of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also the first general in western Liaoning, and the head of the ancestral family.
Zu Dashou once surrendered to the Tartars, and later took the opportunity to return to Jinzhou, and immediately began to fight against the Tartars again, but many members of the Zu family had already surrendered to the Tartars and served the Tartars.
Since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, although he has invaded the customs many times, he has not taken Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou, and his movement is inconvenient, so he can only plunder.
It can be said that if the Tartars want to truly enter the Central Plains, they must conquer the Guanning Jin defense line of the Ming Dynasty, and the first to bear the brunt is Jinzhou.
Otherwise, even if the Tartars made a detour through Mongolia and broke into the pass like last time, they could only burn and loot on the land of the Ming Dynasty and return to retreat outside the pass.
As long as Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou are in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, they will never be able to live in the Central Plains, which is a hurdle that the Tartars can't get around.
For this reason, Huang Taiji was determined to conquer Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou, open up the main transportation routes to Guannai, and create conditions for the destruction of the Ming Dynasty and the capture of Beijing.
In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty learned the lessons of the past storming Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and formulated a battle plan for a long siege and forced him to surrender.
Troops were sent to first capture the outlying strongholds of Jinzhou, and then camped on all sides to cut off its foreign aid.
In the face of the Tartar Yizhou garrison Tuntian, Zu Dashou kept asking for help from Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, saying that the Tartar garrison in Yizhou was intended for Ningjin.
And if Ning Jin is not guaranteed, then the three cities of Song, Xing and Jin are already in a precarious situation, and the day will not be over.
