The marching speed of the 20,000 army made Xiong Wencan feel collapsed, the news that Liukou was preparing to attack Xiangyang Fucheng, the governor of Huguang, Fang Kongzhi, was ready to report to the imperial court, but was pressed down by Xiong Wencan, and he didn't know why he did it, this should be a gambler's mentality, Xiong Wencan believes that once the army attacks Luoyang Fucheng, Li Zicheng will definitely return to the division to rescue, so that there should be nothing to do in Xiangyang Fucheng, but the marching speed of the 20,000 army has made Xiong Wencan's confidence a little bit wiped out. ※％，

Xiong Wencan knows very well that according to the snail-like marching speed of the 20,000 army, I am afraid that he has not yet arrived at Luoyang Mansion City, Xiangyang Mansion City has been taken by Li Zicheng, at that time, Li Zicheng can send a large army to easily rescue Luoyang Mansion City, Luoyang is less than a thousand miles away from Xiangyang, and the cavalry rescue can be reached within two days at the earliest.

Such a slow marching speed made Xiong Wencan feel that he was strangling his life.

Xiong Wencan finally couldn't help it, and lost his temper in front of the prison army, he clearly pointed out that if the 20,000 army could not speed up the march and launch an attack on Luoyang Mansion as soon as possible, then everyone would be finished, and no one should think that there would be a good ending.

Xiong Wencan, who has always been mild-mannered, actually had such a big temper, which made Gao Qiqian nervous, after listening to Xiong Wencan's analysis, after nearly half a night of thinking, Gao Qiqian also sensed the danger, and thought that Xiong Wencan's analysis was very reasonable, he no longer delayed the army's itinerary, and asked to speed up the march.

In fact, Gao Qiqian's idea is not bad, the 20,000 army attacking Luoyang Mansion City is quite a bit of a taste of looking for death, but what Xiong Wencan said is still reasonable, on the surface, the army attacking Luoyang Mansion City is a way to find death, but the army delays the trip. When Li Zicheng really occupied Xiangyang Mansion City, this side has not yet begun to attack Luoyang Mansion City, it is even more a way to find death, and then the emperor and the court will blame it, without the slightest chance of explanation, attacking Luoyang is a gamble. If it succeeds, then you will be able to get rid of the fate of looking for death.

After thinking about it, Gao Qiqian felt that what Xiong Wencan said was very reasonable, even if he had an unusual relationship in the capital, but after all, he was a prison army, if the rogues were too arrogant and occupied too many places, he, the prison army, would also not be able to protect himself.

Gao Qiqian and Xiong Wencan's understanding is rarely unified.

The Great Army quickened the pace of the march. Soon entered the territory of Henan.

Li Zicheng was unusually entangled, and the 80,000 righteous army led by him set out from Luoyang Fucheng at the end of April, and according to the plan, it was planned to launch an attack on Xiangyang Fucheng around May 10, and take Xiangyang within ten days at most.

After the army set out from Luoyang Fucheng, only about three days later, Li Zicheng received a tip-off that Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces stationed in Wuchang Fu. He actually led the army to leave Huguang and headed towards Nanzhili. When he first learned the news, Li Zicheng was very happy, thinking that Xiong Wencan was scared, so he left Huguang and went to Nanzhili to hide.

However, Li Zicheng quickly changed his mind and felt that Xiong Wencan's measures were explained by evasion. It doesn't make sense, even if Xiong Wencan is afraid, he doesn't have to leave Wuchang Mansion, and the rebels have no intention of attacking Wuchang Mansion.

So Li Zicheng summoned Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others to analyze Xiong Wencan's measures.

Niu Jinxing's analysis made Li Zicheng break out in a cold sweat.

Bull Venus thinks. Xiong Wencan's move may not be to dodge, but to choose to make a detour into Henan Mansion, after all, Runing Mansion has been occupied by the rebels, and the official army cannot pass through Runing Mansion, so he chose to make a detour to Nanzhili.

The goal of Xiong Wencan's move is likely to be to unite with Wu Fu, the governor of Henan, to launch an attack on Luoyang Fucheng.

At the critical moment, Niu Jinxing still didn't dare to hide his secrets, if he couldn't make an accurate analysis, once Xiong Wencan led the army to really start attacking Luoyang Mansion City, then he, a strategist, would definitely be indifferent to King Chuang, or even blamed.

After Niu Jinxing's analysis, he still put forward a suggestion, thinking that the rebel army could speed up and attack Xiangyang Fucheng, and at the same time inform Li Yan and Hongniangzi, who were stationed in Luoyang, to strengthen vigilance, and wait until the righteous army took Xiangyang Fucheng, and then return to the division to rescue Luoyang, so that they could not only take Xiangyang Fucheng, but also encircle and suppress the official army.

It's a pity that this time Li Zicheng didn't follow the advice of Niu Jinxing and others, he asked Song Xiance to divination, who knew that Song Xiance's divination did not have any ending.

Li Zicheng asked Niu Jinxing rhetorically, if the official army strengthened the defense of Xiangyang Mansion City, the righteous army could not take Xiangyang Mansion City in a short time, and Luoyang Mansion City was attacked by the official army, what should be done.

Li Zicheng also analyzed that since Xiong Wencan had adopted such a strategy, he must have made all preparations, and the rebel army would definitely encounter desperate resistance when attacking Xiangyang Fucheng.

Regarding Li Zicheng's rhetorical question, Niu Jinxing could not guarantee that since it was a battle, any situation could occur, not to mention that Niu Jinxing was just a lifter, basically had not participated in any battles, and he did not have sufficient experience, so it was impossible to convince Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng hesitated, gave the order to postpone the march, and took the army to detour to Nanyang Fucheng.

After arriving at Nanyang Fucheng, Li Zicheng also thought carefully, he gave up the decision to attack Xiangyang Fucheng immediately, and prepared to lead a large army to encircle and suppress the official army, Xiong Wencan's official army is only more than 20,000 people, even if it is a joint Henan guard sergeant, the total number of troops can not exceed 40,000, with 110,000 righteous troops against 40,000 official troops, the victory or defeat can be imagined, and if such a large-scale battle can be won, the righteous army will be unhindered in Henan, Huguangshan, Shanxi and Sichuan and other places, after the strength grows, It can also take the opportunity to launch an attack on Shaanxi.

Of course, Li Zicheng will not immediately lead the army back to Luoyang, if Xiong Wencan knows the news and stops the attack on Luoyang Fucheng, then all the plans will be disrupted, compared with the extermination of the official army and the attack on Xiangyang Fucheng, Li Zicheng is more willing to choose the former, the main purpose of the righteous army, or to destroy more officers and soldiers.

Of course, Li Zicheng also paid special attention to the situation in Nanzhili, after all, there was the Zheng Jiajun, which was the most feared by the rebels, stationed there, but the news from Huaibei has always been nothing special, it is nothing more than that some boats have set off from Huai'an and other places, some go to the capital, and some go to Kaifeng and other places in Henan, which are all conventions and are not worth paying attention to.

After making the decision, Li Zicheng ordered the army to be stationed in the area of Nanyang, sent a small force of troops, and bluffed in the direction of Xiangyang Fucheng, resulting in the decision that the rebel army was still preparing to attack Xiangyang Fucheng.

Li Zicheng sent more scouts to reconnoiter the traces of Xiong Wencan's army at all times.

After so many years of fierce battles, Li Zicheng has long understood the importance of scouts, accurate intelligence can often determine the outcome of the battle, Xiong Wencan's army is very slow, which makes Li Zicheng very confused, a little confused, could it be that Niu Jinxing's analysis of the whereabouts of the official army has an error.

With the speed of the official army's march accelerated, Li Zicheng's doubts were slowly eliminated, and after Xiong Wencan led the official army into Henan, Li Zicheng completely believed in Niu Jinxing's judgment, which made him feel more different about the reader.

When the official army entered the territory of Henan, the righteous army was also ready for everything.

Li Zicheng sent his own soldiers to inform Li Yan and the Red Lady stationed in Luoyang Mansion City, informing the official army that they were ready to attack Luoyang Mansion City, and Li Zicheng also specially informed Li Yan that the route of the official army's attack was likely to be the direction of Gong County, after all, the rebel army had not yet fully controlled Gong County.

Li Zicheng paid too much attention to Xiong Wencan, but he didn't care about the cao transport ships, in fact, there was also intelligence that there were a large number of cao transport ships heading in the direction of Kaifeng Mansion.

The appearance of the Cao Yun ship made Li Zicheng even more convinced that Xiong Wencan was preparing to attack Luoyang Fucheng, and Xiong Wencan definitely needed a lot of grain before the soldiers and horses moved the grain and grass, and it was a good idea to use the Cao Yun ship to transport grain.

Li Zicheng's determination is even greater, since Xiong Wencan has made all the preparations, and even used the Cao transport ships, then this battle, the scale must be not small, if the righteous army can defeat the official army, get the grain transported, then it will be a major victory for the righteous army, not only get a large amount of supplies, but also further consolidate the position of the righteous army in Henan.

Thinking of these, Li Zicheng once again gave an order to Li Yan and the Red Lady, don't alarm Caoyun's ships for the time being, so as not to attract Xiong Wencan's attention, the focus of the righteous army is the official army that is about to attack, as long as the official army is defeated or even exterminated, the grain transported by Cao Yun belongs to the righteous army.

After Li Zicheng gave the order, he was very excited, and he had already asked Liu Zongmin and the others to make all preparations and prepare for the upcoming major battle.

Zheng Xunrui's judgment is surprisingly accurate, this is not to say that Zheng Xunrui is an immortal, but he made an accurate judgment based on the current actual situation, of course, there is a very key point, that is, the Zheng family army must defeat the rogues stationed in Luoyang City in the shortest possible time and occupy Luoyang Mansion City, so that even if Li Zicheng has the ability to reach the sky, he will not dare to act rashly.

All the analysis of the analysis is in place, and all the preparations that need to be made are also done.

When the Cao Yun ship entered the territory of Henan, everything was very quiet, and there was nothing abnormal.

Zheng Jinhong, Liu Zeqing and others were all worried, but they soon found that at the most critical moment, Zheng Xunrui regained his composure again, seemed very confident, and saw the confident Zheng Xunrui, Zheng Jinhong and others were also relieved.

According to the original plan, it should have arrived at the wharf of Luoyang Fucheng on May 15, and by the time of May 12, the cao transport ship had already arrived in Gongxian, and it would take two days at most to arrive at the wharf of Luoyang Fucheng.

The war is coming, Li Zicheng is still in Nanyang Mansion City, there is no other movement, and Xiong Wencan has not yet arrived in Kaifeng Mansion City.

Zheng Jiajun once again seized the opportunity. (To be continued......)
