Hu Dawei was stunned for a moment. Speaking of the sky, Yuan Shizhong is just a farmer born with mud legs, but he took advantage of the situation to become a mountain king, but it is nothing more than that. If he is really full of ravines in his chest and is a heroic figure, how can he cower and be the weakest of the three thieves?

Historically, that is, when Yuan Shizhong attacked Kaifeng, he was the least firm, Li Zicheng wanted to use Yuan Shizhong as cannon fodder to attack Kaifeng, but Yuan Shizhong was so scared that he ran away from the camp and almost ran away.

Later, Yuan Shizhong was in charge of Beicheng, and he also had a posture of wanting to paddle and fish. made Li Zicheng extremely suspicious.

It is said that murder and rebellion are a promising way, and Yuan Shizhong is undecided about it.

Whether it is fighting the official army or surrendering to the imperial court, it may be able to come down the same way in the future, but if you sway and try to curry favor with both sides, you can only be disliked by both sides.

In normal times, you can live for a while, but when you have to fight it out on both sides, it is especially sad.

In short, Yuan Shizhong has such a temperament, and he doesn't seem to be able to plan for big things.

"Original...... Lord Qin has already tried to recruit Yuan Shizhong's subordinates......" Yang Wenyue understood Zhu Cihong's movements.

Just trying, but no results. Obviously, Yuan Shizhong is not reliable.

Of course, Zhu Cihong also has some unfinished words. Yuan Shizhong is unreliable on the one hand, and in terms of his own heart, Zhu Cihong also looks down on this kind of murder and arson.

This kind of thing, in addition to showing that the court is weak and powerless, makes Zhu Cihong unable to see much merit.

What Zhu Cihong wants to establish is a new and unblemished new Ming Dynasty, not a weak compromise to maintain the regime just to maintain his own authority.

Natural and man-made disasters have forced the people to rebel and survive. Although Zhu Cihong is merciful, this is not a reason to support Zhu Cihong's granting of power and exchanging money for peace.

Zhu Cihong can throw a million taels to promote large-scale infrastructure activities in Qiming City and Hengxin Shopping Mall to solve the problems of the victims. But he didn't want to throw out a million taels to feed a group of uncles who recruited An.

People like Yuan Shizhong look forward and backward. Not strong-willed and never a qualified ally. When he was left to be Li Zicheng's teammate, he came to the camp and fled, making Li Zicheng a trap, if he was rashly annexed......

Zhu Cihong has some expectations just thinking about it.

This is not the time when Li Zicheng flooded Kaifeng and won Sun Chuanting, which was a real destiny!

"Since the thief is strong, I don't know if Lord Qin is ready to join forces with Zuo Liangyu to level the thief?" Hu Dawei's eyes were blazing and he looked at Zhu Cihong.

Since Zhu Cihong saw the balance of forces between the enemy and us very clearly, he felt that he could only unite with the Baoding soldiers. Huguang soldiers and the forces in Kaifeng City, the three forces can send troops together to pacify Li Zicheng, and Hu Dawei naturally has to ask clearly. The Baoding soldiers are here, but how should the Huguang soldiers deal with it?

And this can also be said to have forced Zhu Cihong's attitude into a corner.

"My comrades-in-arms are here, and there is good wine." Zhu Cihong smiled, and suddenly made Hu Dawei feel an unprecedented danger, and said, "The jackal is here, there are knives and guns!" ”

Zhu Cihong said a word, and Hu Dawei suddenly felt that the breath around him was cold. Zhu Cihong, of course, said that he wanted to deal with Zuo Liangyu. But why isn't it knocking on the Baoding soldiers?

Obviously, the Qin Xia in his eyes is not only the powerful Shandong Town! Intuition told Hu Dawei that if he really couldn't become Qin Xia's comrade-in-arms, then the knife and gun would come down. There is definitely a danger that the tiger can't resist!

Yang Wenyue, who was on the side, looked at Zhu Cihong with bright eyes. As I looked at it, a decision in my mind suddenly became solid.

Just when Hu Dawei wanted to speak several times, but Zhu Cihong's momentum was unable to reply. Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"My lords, the feast is ready!" King Zhou smiled and said, "Come here." ”

Hu Dawei breathed a sigh of relief. hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the last general will go now." Lord Qin, Lord Yang, let's go. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and got up to move forward.

Yang Wenyue and Hu Dawei followed.

……

Kaifeng outside the city.

There was a mess in the horizontal shop, and the red lady exhaled softly, looked at the quiet moat in front of her, and shook her head for some reason.

Maybe it's for a mess of horizontal paving, or maybe it's for Kaifeng City, which is already a little difficult to attack.

The emergence of the moat became a turning point in the Kaifeng war.

Originally, Li Zicheng's plan was to besiege and blockade Kaifeng City, not to let Kaifeng City get a grain of grain and rice, a little military supplies, so that the millions of people in the city would sit on the mountain, and finally weaken so much that it could be easily captured.

But the Yellow River swept in, bringing hundreds of boats to make up for the lack of supplies in the city. At this point, everyone clearly understands that Li Zicheng's original plan to continue is no longer possible.

The Shandong Town Barracks located at Caomen Wharf on the moat has become a hard thorn in Li Zicheng's throat. There are rules for marching and fighting, especially when attacking and besieging cities, which is even more exquisite.

Historically, city defense has not been to defend a large city in isolation, but to have a series of fortresses, and large cities and small cities constitute a defense system.

Originally, Li Zicheng's sweep of Kaifeng Zuo Jinzhou County had reached the best state of siege, which made Kaifeng fall into isolation and helplessness, and could only hold on to the city alone, ending up with a food crisis in the city.

However, the camp of Shandong Town at Caomen Wharf means that Kaifeng City is no longer an isolated city, and it is impossible to apply ordinary siege methods.

The simplest thing is that Li Zicheng has been unable to achieve the goal of besieging Kaifeng, nor can he put an end to Kaifeng's external communication channels, let alone attack the city with all his might.

Because Shandong Town may provoke in the field at any time when Li Zicheng attacks Zhenghuan, Li Zicheng has to keep the main force on guard. If you don't take precautions, but are turned on your back by a person who is killed by Zhu Cihong, it will be even more painful.

As a result, Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng, and his strategy of besieging Kaifeng had become de facto bankrupt.

For a time, the soldiers of the rebel army who knew this were all pessimistic and depressed. But this atmosphere did not last long, and millions of displaced people, including soldiers, had new things to pay attention to.

Luo Rucai's whole army "took refuge" with Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng's movements were fast. Luo Ru was rescued by his troops just after he was defeated, and after the red lady was broken, Liu Zongmin greeted him personally. All of a sudden, the rebels from all walks of life looked sideways.

And now, the red lady is here to clean up the mess.

The endgame of the horizontal floor shop.

Just when the red lady rushed to Hengdipu with her own soldiers and horses, the rest of Luo Rucai's stay in Hengdipu had been taken away by Liu Zongmin with the army.

After annexing the main force of Luo Rucai's remnants and taking away the rest of the Hengdipu troops, Li Zicheng's strength suddenly increased.

In this way, the forces of the siege were not weakened, but strengthened in a sense. (To be continued......)
