On the first day of the fifth month, the time of the child.

Li Zicheng was ready for a while, this time he completely believed in Gu Junen, and he was completely open-minded, if he couldn't leave quickly, then he could only be completely swallowed by Zhang Xianzhong, and he himself didn't want to be able to live.

The place where the three thousand cavalry are stationed is a narrow valley, only one valley mouth in front, and there is no way out in the rest of the place, Zhang Xianzhong has already arranged a guard sergeant at the valley entrance, once the three thousand soldiers have other actions, Zhang Xianzhong will be able to get information immediately, and it will be indispensable to fight at that time.

From the topography, Li Zicheng's three thousand sergeants are in an absolutely disadvantageous position, if it weren't for Gu Junen's proposal, they would have almost no chance to leave this valley, but every qiē is unknown, even if they can leave this valley, the next step is to act quickly, leave the mountain, and go in the direction of Zhongzhou, once they pass Wuning, it means safety, and even if Zhang Xianzhong leads the army to encircle and suppress, Li Zicheng will be able to guarantee the evacuation.

A heavy rain during the day made the climate much cooler, but at night, the light rain was still falling, such weather was not very favorable for Li Zicheng, the roads in the mountains were slippery, and the march was very unfavorable, but Li Zicheng and Gu Junen had already made preparations, and trained the sergeants in the valley many times, how to march on the slippery mountain roads on rainy days, including how to drive war horses and so on.

This kind of unfavorable weather will also make Zhang Xianzhong lower his vigilance.

A dark shadow entered the valley. This is a dark shadow that enters the valley from the mouth of the valley.

Li Zicheng, Gu Junen and others, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, saw the comer, their tense expressions relaxed a little, and the black shadow whispered a few words.

There was a slight commotion in the valley, but there was no movement at the mouth of the valley.

The evacuation has finally begun. There are still two dark shadows waiting for Taniguchi.

Lights could still be seen in several wooden houses at Taniguchi, but the sound of snoring came out.

When the cavalry walked out of the valley, they were very careful, for fear that the noise would be too loud, and at this time it would attract the attention of the sergeant in the wooden house. That means the bloody battle is about to begin.

Li Zicheng and Gu Junen walked in the middle of the team, Li Zicheng's expression was always very nervous, but he was able to control it, relatively speaking, Gu Junen's expression was more relaxed.

Three thousand people left the valley without a word. However, in the valley, you can still see the lights in the barracks.

At the front of the line, there are three black shadows.

The light rain was still falling, the road was very slippery, everyone was walking with their horses, and from time to time someone fell, but quickly got up and continued walking. The procession of three thousand people, lined up in two columns, walked very neatly. It is very rare to walk like this on a mountain road.

After leaving the valley, the team headed southeast, gradually disappearing into the mountains.

The rain was still falling, and the inside of the hut finally reacted, and a red-faced sergeant staggered out of the hut. He was still muttering, probably saying that today's wine was so powerful. They didn't drink much, and all the people were drunk.

The sergeant habitually looked into the valley. Gradually, he realized that something was wrong.

In an instant, he woke up and stumbled into the valley......

Zhang Xianzhong's face was pale, and the mountains were already moving, although the sky was still raining lightly.

Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and others stood aside, all with their heads bowed.

Zhang Xianzhong stared at Sun Kewang and spoke.

"Sun Kewang, you are responsible for keeping an eye on Li Zicheng at this time, why did you let Li Zicheng leave the valley, don't you know that after Li Zicheng leaves the valley, it will pose a huge threat to us, Li Zicheng bought off your subordinates, you don't know, you tell me, how can I punish you."

Zhang Xianzhong's temper is very short-tempered, of course Sun Kewang knows, but this time Zhang Xianzhong didn't speak loudly and didn't scold, which made him feel uneasy, strong uneasiness.

With a plop, Sun Kewang knelt down.

"Father, it's all useless children, they didn't find out early, so the children led the army to pursue, if they couldn't kill Li Zicheng, the children were willing to accept any disposition from their father."

The rest of the people also wanted to speak, but when they saw Zhang Xianzhong's expression, they all shut up.

Zhang Xianzhong's face slowly changed, he knew very well that once Li Zicheng fled the valley, wanting to kill it was like ascending to the sky, the possibility was not great at all, even if Sun Kewang led the army to pursue, it was unlikely to kill Li Zicheng, it could only be said that it was the biggest blow to Li Zicheng, so that Li Zicheng would lose his troops.

"Sun Kewang, where are you going to pursue, and in which direction Li Zicheng is fleeing, do you know."

Sun Kewang was stunned, how could he know in which direction Li Zicheng fled, but the three thousand soldiers under Li Zicheng's command were all cavalry, and there were only two ways out of the mountain, one was towards Liangshan and the other was towards Wuning, as long as the army blocked these two roads, Li Zicheng would definitely not be able to get out of the mountain.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Sun Kewang, who was bowing his head, and snorted in his nose.

"Li Dingguo, you lead five thousand sergeants and quickly pursue in the direction of Liangshan, if you reach the exit of the valley and still find no signs of the march of the brigade, then quickly march in the direction of Wuning."

Li Dingguo clenched his fists and left the house.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Sun Kewang again, Sun Kewang is the eldest of his four righteous sons, brave in battle, cunning, when fighting, he can make adjustments in time according to the situation on the battlefield, which is called a wall, that is to say, anyone who meets Sun Kewang, wanting to escape is like encountering a wall.

Unexpectedly, Sun Kewang, who has always been cautious, will also be negligent, according to Zhang Xianzhong's temper in the past, he will definitely not let Sun Kewang go, but now the situation is different, Li Zicheng has just fled. The rebel army faced many threats from Li Zicheng and Zheng Jiajun, and there could be no internal problems, otherwise they would wait for the official army to come and exterminate them.

"Sun Kewang, you lead five thousand soldiers and pursue in the direction of Wuning. What to do, I won't say much, you'd better atone for your sin, or I won't be able to spare you. ”

Sun Kewang quickly got up, clenched his fists and left the room.

Zhang Xianzhong's face was still gloomy, which made Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, who were standing on the side, a little frightened.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Liu Wenxiu. In terms of calmness, Liu Wenxiu is the most prominent, although he is not very old.

"If you have anything to say, say it."

Liu Wenxiu looked at Ai Nengqi and spoke carefully.

"Father. The child knows that Li Zicheng is very powerful, and this time the encirclement and suppression, the child thinks that it is better for his father to personally lead it, so that Li Zicheng will not be able to escape. ”

Zhang Xianzhong snorted.

"Do you really think that if I lead a large army into battle, I will be able to exterminate Li Zicheng. You are too naïve, since Li Zicheng was able to take this step, it was after a long period of thinking. When I was in Chezhou Gorge back then, I was with Li Zicheng for so long, could I not know his ability, once Li Zicheng left the valley, it would be impossible to kill him, even if I led the troops to the battle. Besides, we still have to face Zheng Jiajun. What if you are immersed in internal fighting and are seized by the official army. ”

Liu Wenxiu, who had been trained for a few words, lowered his head.

Li Zicheng fled. The impact is very great, you quickly stabilize the situation of many sergeants, don't be affected by this matter, after dawn, the army is ready to evacuate, we can't continue to stay here, as long as we fight with Li Zicheng, our whereabouts will be exposed, and when Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo return, we will withdraw to Yunyang. ”

Li Zicheng's march was not very fast, and it could not be very fast.

There are sentry posts set up by Zhang Xianzhong along the road, but these sentry posts were all pulled out by Li Zicheng, leaving no living mouth, Li Zicheng does not want to expose his whereabouts for the time being, so if Zhang Xianzhong is desperate and leads the army to encircle and suppress, the consequences are unpredictable, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely choose the strategy of dividing troops to pursue when he is not clear about the situation, which is undesirable for Li Zicheng, so that he has enough chance of winning, at least he can withdraw smoothly.

Along the way, Li Zicheng didn't speak, and Gu Junen beside him didn't speak, but the breath that burst out from Li Zicheng could make Gu Junen feel trust.

Gu Junen did a good job this time, and bought off the sergeants under Zhang Xianzhong, so that the army could leave the valley smoothly.

The march was extremely difficult, the sky was still raining lightly, the torches were often extinguished, the march in the mountains at night, and the cavalry, it was definitely not possible without torches, and the horses would not go, but even if they faced many difficulties, the team did not stop, and kept marching forward.

As time passed, Li Zicheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he felt that even if Zhang Xianzhong wanted to pursue, he might not be able to catch up.

At this time, a personal soldier came to report it.

"Tell the king that the pursuing army has been found in the rear, about five miles away from us."

Li Zicheng was slightly stunned for a moment, and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Got it."

The soldiers stepped aside, and Li Zicheng spoke to Gu Junen.

"Gu Junen, Zhang Xianzhong must be chasing after him in the rear, what do you say to do."

"Don't pay attention to it, go out of the mountains and say, Wulidi, this is not a plain place, Zhang Xianzhong don't think that he will be able to catch up soon, King Chuang ordered the army to speed up the pace of marching, leave the mountains as much as possible, and move in the direction of Wuning."

Li Zicheng nodded and spoke to his own soldiers.

"Order all the brothers, speed up the march, regardless of the pursuers in the rear, all brothers must be vigilant, and once the pursuers in the rear approach, be ready for battle."

Gu Junen looked at Li Zicheng and lowered his eyelids, he had long expected that a fight was inevitable, at this moment he only had sorrow in his heart, the embattled rebel army was actually fighting among themselves, wouldn't this give the Zheng family the best chance to exterminate the rebel army.
