[Today's fourth shift is delivered! ] 】
Zhang Zhun raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, "They don't have uniform clothes on their bodies, and they are obviously not officers and soldiers." But if you look closely, you will find that they must be in a gang, and they are quite skilled in their actions and covering each other, and they are by no means a rabble.
There are only a dozen of these people, and the number is very small, but everyone looks quite strong, and their expressions are quite indifferent, and they know at a glance that they are experienced characters. It seems that they were being pursued by the enemy before fleeing this way. If they are not mistaken, they should have some connection with the Shaanxi rebel army.
"Stop!"
"Who?"
Dugu Hunt took the sniper and quickly surrounded the other party.
The cavalry looked carefully at the outfit of the Tiger Army, and then at their rear, and did not look very flustered. Under the guns of the Tiger Army, they did not immediately raise their hands to surrender, nor did they immediately resist, but sat quietly on horseback, carefully looking at the Tiger Army soldiers in front of them. While the Tiger Army was observing them, they seemed to be also observing the Tiger Army.
This detail caught Zhang Zhun's attention. Obviously, the other party came prepared, and it was very likely that they were coming for the Tiger Army. His gaze fell on the other party's leader. Leading the dozen cavalrymen was a young man in his twenties, not very burly, but his expression was very strong, and there were obvious scars on his bare shoulders.
When Zhang Zhun looked at the young man, the young man seemed to be looking at Zhang Zhun as well. After a few moments, he seemed to say something to the people around him, and then jumped off his horse and raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions. Following him, the other cavalrymen all turned over and dismounted, following behind the young man.
"Who are you?"
Dugu Hunt immediately stepped forward to negotiate with the other party.
Zhang Zhun watched from a distance in the rear and remained silent. Soon, Dugu Hunt sent someone to report, saying that the other party claimed to be Li Guo and was Li Zicheng's nephew. He was ordered by Li Zicheng to come to Shandong to find Zhang Zhun. As a result, when they passed through Henan, they were surrounded and intercepted by the officials and soldiers, and finally came here.
"Li Guo?"
Zhang Zhun said to himself.
For the name Li Guo, Zhang Zhun is certainly not unfamiliar. He is indeed Li Zicheng's nephew, and he is treated like a son by Li Zicheng. Together with Liu Tichun, Hao Shaoqi, Liu Fangliang, Zhang Nai and others, he is Li Zicheng's backbone. After Li Zicheng's death, most of the remnants of the rebel army followed him.
After the Qing army entered the customs in a big way, Li Guo once cooperated with Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang to fight against the Qing army together. It's a pity that the interior of the Southern Ming Dynasty is too chaotic. Saddened and disappointed, Li Guo led his army to fight in various places, but unfortunately died of illness. After his death, the rebel army continued to be led by Gao Yigong to fight against the Qing army in Kuidong and other places.
"Which one is the pursuer behind?"
Zhang Zhun sent someone to call Dugu Hunt over and asked carefully.
"Li Guo said it was Zuo Liangyu."
Dugu Hunt replied.
"Zuo Liangyu?"
Zhang Zhun frowned involuntarily.
For Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Zhun really doesn't have a good impression at all. Zuo Liangyu is nominally an officer of the imperial court, and he has a lot of glittering titles, but in fact, he is more hateful than a rogue. To explain who is the most murderous person among the warlords at the end, even if Zuo Liangyu can't be the first, he can definitely be the top three.
Zuo Liangyu's biggest ability is to catch strong men and kill good people. In order to expand his army, Zuo Liangyu forcibly pulled into the team as long as he saw a suitable young man. Every time he encircled and suppressed the rebel army, he would kill the innocent people around him and turn them in as the heads of the rogues. Because of this, Lu Xiangsheng once belittled him fiercely.
However, because of the large number of troops under his command, the court has repeatedly made exceptions for him, except for a few innocrelevant reprimands, there is no punishment measure, as a result, this person has always been high-flying, lawless, and almost no governor *** can suppress him, even Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting.
Zhang Zhun was a little puzzled, Zuo Liangyu was obviously in Huguang to suppress bandits, why did he suddenly run to Henan? Could it be that the Shaanxi rebel army has begun to fight in Henan again? Alas, speaking of which, the battle of the Shaanxi rebel army is really quite interesting, looking at their battle route, it is like traveling, going anywhere.
"Da Da Da!"
While he was pondering, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hoofs in the west.
"Zuo Liangyu's pursuers are here!"
Li Guo said to Zhang Zhun a little nervously.
His nervousness was not because of Zuo Liangyu's arrival, but because Zhang Zhun would not hand him over to Zuo Liangyu, or directly to the imperial court. Before coming into contact with the Tiger Army, Li Guo really didn't know much about Zhang Zhun.
"Go to the back."
Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said expressionlessly.
In fact, he had no friendship with the Shaanxi rebel army, and the two sides had never had high-level contact. However, since Li Guo came to him, of course he would not hand it over to Zuo Liangyu or the imperial court. Li Zicheng's subordinates actually have a lot of capable people, and the same is true of Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates. If these people can be recruited, the Tiger Ben Army will have even more talents. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong may not be able to stay, but his subordinates, if they are allowed, should still be retained as much as possible.
Zuo Liangyu's army, about three or four hundred people, was also all cavalry. They chased in front of the Tiger Ben Army with great momentum, but were stopped by Dugu Hunt and others, and the officer led by them shouted arrogantly: "Who is in front?" Why the roadblock? ”
Liu Mang shouted forward: "We are the Tiger Army!" This is the territory of the Tiger Army! ”
As soon as these words came out, those court officials and soldiers who were originally a little fierce did not dare to have a fierce expression anymore. Some people also quietly retreated so as not to cause misunderstanding among the Tiger Army. It is said that the shadow of the famous tree of people, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, even if they have not dealt with the Tiger Army, they still know the prestige of the Tiger Army. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the Tiger Ben Army beat the Tartars to the point of crying and calling their mothers in Beizhili is enough for them to be afraid. The Tartars are powerful, and they don't know it.
After a while, an officer from the imperial army came to salute Liu Mang, and said in a deep voice: "We want to arrest the Liukou, and please ask your army to be accommodating." ”
Liu Mang looked at Zhang Zhun, Zhang Zhun shook his head, and Liu Mang responded loudly: "We didn't see any rogues, you go somewhere else!" The ground of Shandong is the territory of our Tiger Army, if you trespass without permission, you will bear the consequences! ”
Those imperial troops had no choice but to retreat stupidly. However, they did not go far, but continued to roam nearby, it seemingly, they should have waited for the arrival of a large army, or for the arrival of a more senior person. This Li Guo has caused a lot of trouble!
"Li Guo, what's going on?"
"Who's behind you?"
Zhang Zhun slowly withdrew his gaze and asked with a grim face.
"Zuo Liangyu himself."
Li Guo replied expressionlessly.
Obviously, this Li Guo is still very wary of the Tiger Army. Even after entering the queue of the Tiger Army, he did not relax his vigilance at all. Although he did not hold a weapon, he was always close to his men. And his subordinates were also very conscious, forming a fan shape, surrounding Li Guo in the middle. If the Tiger Ben Army made any moves, they would definitely quickly cover Li Guo's retreat. Of course, the premise is that Zhang Zhun allows Li Guo to retreat.
Li Guo had such a reaction, and Zhang Zhun felt that it was completely understandable. Although the Tiger Ben Army led by Zhang Zhun once accepted the title of the 37th Battalion issued by the rebel army, it has never played such a banner in public. In the rebel army, no one believed Zhang Zhun, including Li Guo.
From the most fundamental reason, the interests of them and Zhang Zhun are actually in conflict. No matter what their slogans are, in fact, everyone is fighting for the world and the throne of the emperor. However, in the end, there was only one person who could sit on the throne of the emperor. Since only one person can sit on this throne, the others will definitely have to back down. The question is, who wants to back down? Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, for this reason, have repeatedly clashed. Now add a Zhang Zhun, then you still have to do it?
Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "Li Guo, you came to see me, what do you have to convey?" ”
Li Guo said cautiously: "King Chuang asked me to ask you if you are interested in attacking Luoyang together." ”
Zhang Zhun's eyes suddenly sharpened.
Luoyang? Fu Wang? Li Zicheng wants to do something to King Fu?
What a great opportunity! As long as the Shaanxi rebel army basically attracted away the imperial army near Luoyang, it was not impossible for the Tiger Ben army to concentrate some cavalry and launch a surprise attack on Luoyang after a long-distance attack. The key to the success of an action lies in its suddenness.
This Li Zicheng is really bold, and at this time, he is still fighting the idea of King Fu. However, with Li Zicheng's current situation and strength, I am afraid that he will not be able to take Luoyang. Luoyang is also a strong city, and there are more imperial army troops stationed all year round, as well as King Fu's own escort army, which is by no means something that Li Zicheng can easily deal with.
The most important thing is that Li Zicheng has no ability to quickly open the city gate of Luoyang. Once the battle stalemate, it will be unfavorable to Li Zicheng. Because of King Fu's relationship in Luoyang, once Luoyang is attacked, the imperial army in other places will inevitably go crazy to reinforce Luoyang. If Luoyang cannot be broken in a short period of time, everything in front of you will be done in vain, and it is possible that you will be surrounded by the imperial army.
And the biggest strength of the Tiger Army is explosives. No matter how strong the city is, it can't withstand the bombardment of ** bags. As long as they quickly reach the city of Luoyang, the Tiger Ben army can take the method of blasting, quickly blow open the city gate, and then launch a street battle.
"What did the king of your family say?"
Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and asked calmly.
Suddenly realizing that a huge opportunity to make a fortune appeared in front of his eyes, Zhang Zhun became more calm in his heart. He had already made up his mind that as long as he had the opportunity, he would immediately leave Li Zicheng aside and take it by himself. To hell with what to do together! King Fu's family property, to say the least, has tens of millions of taels of silver, if he doesn't get it quickly, it will be a pity. Now is the time when you need a lot of money!
"King Chuang said that if Lord Governor has the intention to attack Luoyang, our army can attack the front line of Tongguan, contain and attract the defenders of Luoyang, and create opportunities for Lord Dudu."
Li Guo said cautiously.
"At what cost?"
Zhang Zhun asked calmly.
"It doesn't cost anything."
Li Guo raised his head and said without thinking.
"Oh?"
Zhang Zhunhu's suspicious gaze fell on Li Guo's body.
Sending troops to cooperate with him to attack Luoyang, but it doesn't cost anything, this kind of thing doesn't seem to be Li Zicheng's style! Fuwang's big fat meat, how could Li Zicheng be willing to let it go?
Fortunately, after thinking for a while, Zhang Zhun quickly understood. Li Zicheng's purpose was to ask the Tiger Ben army to immediately take action, send a big bomb to the imperial court, force the imperial court to withdraw some of its soldiers and horses, and deal with him Zhang Zhun, so as to reduce the pressure on the Shaanxi rebel army.
King Fu's wealth, of course, was coveted by Li Zicheng, but under the constant siege of the imperial army, he was more concerned about his own survival. If you can't even survive yourself, and you still stare at King Fu's wealth, isn't it a fool?
According to Li Zicheng's calculations, if the Tiger Ben Army suddenly attacked Luoyang and robbed King Fu's property, Chongzhen would definitely have to fight against the Tiger Ben Army under pressure from all sides. As long as the imperial court fights with the Tiger Ben Army again, the pressure on the Shaanxi rebel army will naturally be reduced. Use the wealth of King Fu to help the Shaanxi rebel army survive this catastrophe, Li Zicheng is certainly willing. Otherwise, what will the gold and silver be done when all the people are dead?
Li Guo calmly faced Zhang Zhun's gaze and said in a deep voice: "Now is a God-given opportunity, please think twice!" Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again! ”
Zhang Zhun nodded, and said affirmatively: "Go back and tell your family King Chuang, I will consider it carefully, please wait for good news!" ”
Li Guo had a vague smile on his face, and said euphemistically: "I'll just send someone back to report to King Chuang, and I'll wait here for good news." ”
Zhang Zhun smiled casually, smiling like a cunning fox. This Li Guo is preparing to supervise the formation in the Tiger Army, if the Tiger Army does not act quickly, he will definitely nag in his own ear. He smiled slightly, and did not expose Li Guo's intentions, and said casually: "It's okay!" It's a guest from afar! Dugu, send someone to entertain friends from afar! ”
Dugu hunted up and turned around with Li Guo and the others.
Before leaving, Zhang Zhun suddenly said casually: "Li Guo, how is your current situation?" Need a little extra help? ”
Li Guo said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Lord Todudu's blessing, we are doing well." ”
Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "That's good, I thought you were besieged by the imperial army and were about to be unable to hold on." ”
Li Guo's face was a little better, and then he asked a little strangely: "Lord Dudu, aren't you going to rebel?" Why didn't you besiege Jingshi, but run to Liaodong? ”
Zhang Zhun said indifferently: "Is it important to kill the Tartars, or is it important to besiege the Jingshi?" ”
Li Guo was silent.
Dugu Hunt made a gesture of please, and Li Guo followed.
Wang Shide looked at Li Guo's back and said in a low voice: "Lord Dudu, the life of the rebel army doesn't look easy. They want to instigate us to attack Luoyang, attract the attention of the imperial court, and relieve them of their pressure a little. Li Zicheng released his son, obviously a little unable to support it. ”
Zhang Zhun nodded, and said with a smile: "Are you interested in King Fu?" ”
Wang Shide said seriously: "My subordinates are not interested in King Fu, they are interested in his assets, I heard that this prince is rich, and even the toilet at home is made of gold." Let's *** this vote, the finance department, must go crazy. ”
Zhang Zhun nodded, slammed his palm hard, and said with a cold face: "Li Guo is right, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you don't do it, it's a pity." Think about it and see if you can quickly mobilize three cavalry battalions, and let's go to Luoyang for a long time. There are 5,000 people, there are enough **, and it is no problem to take Luoyang. ”
Wang Shide nodded excitedly and said in a deep voice: "Okay! However, my lord, if we attack Luoyang, the imperial court will definitely do something to us again, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong them, and the pressure will be reduced again. Our future strategy may have to be adjusted a little bit. ”
Zhang Zhun nodded, sighed slightly, and said slowly: "After the Liaodong Army was transferred back, the pressure on the rebel army increased suddenly. If they are still not united, they will definitely be broken by each other. We attacked Luoyang, not for them, but for ourselves. Aren't we short of money? This time I went out to get some money back. ”
Wang Shide smiled and left.
"Blessed King!"
"Big pie!"
Zhang Zhun slammed his own hands.
Because of historical understanding, Zhang Zhun never thought that it was possible for him to do something to King Fu. In the history of the late Ming Dynasty, King Fu was definitely a super big cake! Whoever swallows this cake will have fun for a while. Since this cake was delivered to him by chance, of course he couldn't let it go.
In the Central Plains, the terrain is flat, and the cavalry has a strong ability to maneuver. The cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army dispatched from Yanzhou Mansion, and it only took two days to be able to kill the city of Luoyang. With the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Army, Luoyang can be taken down in two days at most. Therefore, the first half of the battle will not be very difficult. The most difficult part is the second half.
King Fu has so much property, it is really not easy to withdraw all the property. It must be known that the cavalry's war horses cannot carry much material. If you walk, you will soon be caught up by the pursuers. To load large quantities of supplies, ships must be used. To use boats, you need to be close to canals or rivers. It just so happens that Luoyang is close to the Yellow River......
While he was thinking, Lu Yidian suddenly came to report: "My lord, there is a scholar named Li Xin outside who asks to see you. ”
Zhang Zhun was slightly stunned, and then subconsciously said, "What's it called?" Li Xin? ”
Lu Yidian nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Zhang Zhun couldn't help but stand up, with a suspicious face.
Doesn't it mean that there is no such person as Li Xin in history? Could it be that history has gone wrong, or has it been mutated? Or is it just a person with the same name and surname?
"Please!"
Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.
Whether it is the real Li Xin or the fake Li Xin, he has to meet and talk about it.
