A few days later, the army broke into the tent.

"What, Henan officers and soldiers are empty, let me go to Luoyang?"

Li Zicheng listened to Liu Heizi's words and was skeptical.

Luoyang is one of the few important military towns in Henan, and for the army, whether it is from the economic level or the political level, the significance of laying Luoyang is very important, and it can strengthen Li Zicheng's confidence in dominating the world. In another time and space, after Li Zicheng's defeat only 17 cavalry retreated to Shangluoshan, a few years later, he re-pulled up a group of men and horses to make a comeback, and the turning point from weak to strong was the Battle of Luoyang. After this battle, Li Zicheng fought a series of battles, transferred from Henan to Shaanxi, established the Dashun regime, and opened the road of counterattack to subvert the Ming Dynasty regime. The reason why Xia Nan wanted to push Li Zicheng to attack Luoyang was to replicate his successful path in another time and space and speed up the pace of marching into the capital.

Originally, according to the inertia of history, Li Zicheng would not attack a strong city like Luoyang at this point in time, after all, with his current strength, it was too difficult to gnaw down a big city of this level, and in the original history, he had accumulated enough strength to attack Luoyang It was already the thirteenth year of Chongzhen (1640), that is, four years later. But Xia Nan didn't have the patience to wait so long, he wanted to give Li Zicheng a hanging, forcibly speed up the progress of history, and complete what could only be done in ten years in one or two years.

Liu Heizi, as the liaison of the Qiong Navy, is stationed in the Chuang Army, and is usually responsible for coordinating the homeless people and arms transactions between the two armies. This time, Xia Nan's instructions came from Lingao, asking him to do everything possible to persuade Li Zicheng to attack Luoyang.

After receiving the instructions, Liu Heizi began this difficult task. After coming into contact with him during this time, he knew that although Li Zicheng was very ambitious, he had an advantage: he was good and good at listening to other people's suggestions. From a hostile point of view, this is also a shortcoming, the ears are soft, and it is easy to be influenced by the opinions of others, and it is not too difficult to take advantage of this and convince this rogue leader to accept Joan's proposal.

"King Chuang Mingjian: My general has close contacts with several bigwigs in the court, so he got the news early: Yang Sichang, the new secretary of the military department, is very jealous of my Qionghai Town, and most of the officers and soldiers in Beizhili and Henan are transferred to the area of Gyeonggi to garrison Baoding Mansion, Tianjin Wei, Yongping Mansion, and defend the capital. At present, the army in Henan is empty, and it is an opportunity for King Chuang to show his strength. ”

Li Zicheng was a little moved when he heard this, and asked, "Then why did you fight Luoyang?" Can't you open it? ”

Liu Heizi was kind and tempting: "King Chuang, you have been in Henan for a while, which is better to fight in Kaifeng or Luoyang, and which one has greater benefits, you must know in your heart." Kaifeng General Chen Yongfu has a reputation for being good at fighting, and the governor Gao Mingheng is shrewd and capable, not so easy to fight; And Luoyang has no famous generals to guard it, and there are big fat sheep like King Fu in the city, as long as it can be defeated, the gold, silver and grain obtained can be worth three or five ordinary cities. Which one to choose, it's clear at a glance! ”

Hearing the word Fuwang, Li Zicheng's eyes lit up.

Everyone in the world knows that the son of Fu Wang Zhu Changxun is favored because of his mother's noble mother, because of his biological mother Concubine Zheng, he is the favorite prince of Emperor Wanli, and he was once expected to become the crown prince. After he was named the Fu Queen, the Wanli Emperor out of guilt that this son could not be the prince, at the request of Zheng Guifei, gave more than 20,000 hectares of land, asked Huai Salt 1,300 citations, from Yangzhou to Anhui Taiping along the Yangtze River and part of the income of Sichuan Yanjing were allocated to the Fu Wangfu, it can be said that half of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty was given to the Fu Wang. When he arrived in Luoyang, the convoy loaded with countless gold and silver treasures reached more than 100 miles before and after, which was breathtaking. If you can conquer Luoyang and take the wealth of the Fu Wangfu, it is indeed more than the harvest of three or five cities, which is very beneficial to the growth of the army.

Liu Heizi continued to increase: "Our general also said that as long as King Chuang is willing to attack Luoyang, he is also willing to offer a generous gift to assist in the siege of the city - before we were appeased, we relied on this thing to bombard the city of Guangzhou, forcing the governor of Liangguang to make an alliance under the city." "This generous gift is a mortar. In this time and space, the 10-inch siege mortar is an unsolvable bug, and with the overwhelming army of locusts of the Wandering People's Army, it is not difficult to capture Luoyang in a short time.

Li Zicheng became short of breath, although he didn't understand what this mysterious gift was, but listening to the tone was an extremely powerful cannon, the other party was so sure, it must be of great help to the siege, so the difficulty of capturing Luoyang was further reduced, and he seemed to have cut down the treasure of the Fuwang Mansion beckoning to him.

He paced back and forth, stopped after a moment, and said to Liu Heizi: "I have listened to everything you said, let me think again." ”

Liu Heizi knew that the other party was tempted, and he was not in a hurry to get an answer, so he got up and said goodbye.

After Liu Heizi left, Li Zicheng called all his generals and told them about the conversation just now, and then asked: "Brothers, tell me, whether this Luoyang will fight or not?" ”

Liu Zongmin was the first to stand up and said loudly: "The officers and soldiers of Henan have been transferred to the Beijing Division, this news should not be fake, then Luoyang's troops will definitely be empty." No matter what the heart of this surnamed Xia is, we have real benefits in Luoyang. Not to mention anything else, this Fu Wangfu Mansion alone is enough for us to make a profit, I heard that this old boy's mansion is more spacious than the palace inside, and the money is more than the treasury of the imperial court, who will he slaughter if such a fat sheep is not slaughtered? ”

Gao Yigong also said: "King Chuang, if we can really defeat an important town like Luoyang and become famous in one battle, even if we are famous, what Cao Cao and the eight kings will be crushed by us, we are the head of the righteous army in the world, and when the time comes, there will be money and food, and the righteous army from all walks of life will return to the heart, and that proverb may not be able to come true." ”

Everyone knows in their hearts, the so-called proverb, what it says is "Eighteen sons, the main artifact". The thought of having the opportunity to command the world's heroes, and even ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, everyone's hearts were on fire. If King Chuang becomes the emperor, then they will all be heroes from the dragon, and they will not be able to run away from the glory and wealth of a lifetime.

Everyone shouted: "King Chuang, let's do it, take down Luoyang, eat meat in a big piece, drink wine in a big bowl, and divide the gold in a big scale!" ”

"King Chuang, go all the way into the capital, pull the emperor down, you sit on it, let's share this flower!"

Seeing that everyone was supporting, Li Zicheng showed a smile on his face, waved his hand, and said boldly: "Okay, then go to Luoyang, break the Fuwang Mansion, and share the gold and silver treasures together!" ”
