Chapter 336
Li Zicheng captured Xi'an and immediately changed Xi'an to Chang'an as the capital of Xinshun.
When the Shun Army captured Xi'an, the morale of the army was greatly shocked, and the morale was like a rainbow, showing vigorous vitality.
Gu Junen then suggested that he should strengthen the four blocks and sweep the three Qins.
Niu Jinxing advised him and sent the Qin vassal treasury to recruit and pacify counties with his military power.
Li Zicheng followed his words and sent several generals and 50 silver carts to take Hanzhong with He Zhen. Gao Yigong decided to Longxi, and Liu Fangliang took it to northern Shaanxi.
The three sides, except for the Wei River Plain, were mostly barren. The Ming court did not pay any wages for a long time, and the soldiers were suffering.
Li Zicheng was intimidated by military power and gave money to the three border prefectures, counties, garrisons, and trunks. When he knew that Sun Chuanting was defeated, most of them surrendered without fighting and surrendered to Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng then increased his rewards, and the strength of the border troops increased greatly, and his momentum was as high as the peak.
February, Chang'an City, Xinshun Palace.
After the Shun Army occupied Xi'an, it captured the Qin Palace and changed the Qin Palace to Xinshun Palace for Li Zicheng to live.
At this time, the land of Guanzhong was reduced by looking at the wind, and the Xinshun regime gradually gained a firm foothold, which made Li Baiwan a little inflated.
In the hall, Li Zicheng finally replaced his torn cotton armor and Fan Yang hat, put on a yellow dragon robe, and wore a winged crown.
After more than ten years of his rebellion, he was nearly forty years old. Li Zicheng was finally about to realize his ambitions. From the time he was called King Xinshun, he was no longer in the shadows and had a complete showdown with the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and create a new dynasty.
At this time, Li Zicheng sat majestic on the throne, with civil and military officials standing in the hall. Everyone was wearing official robes and saluting in decent manner, saying, "King!"
"Hahaha~" Li Zicheng laughed heartily, "You guys are exempt from gifts."
Seeing everyone surrendering, Li Zicheng felt happy and full of energy. He thought that he was a layoff postman and an insignificant little man who could actually be the king and would become the emperor in the future. He felt a little emotional.
This must be the destiny of heaven, otherwise how could I, Lao Li, be today?
Since the uprising, Li Zicheng has been running away most of the time, and has failed repeatedly, but he has survived from death, which makes him sigh at his luck.
In addition to using the destiny of heaven and the true dragon emperor to explain, Li Zicheng could not find any other reason.
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng said to everyone: "I want to go to Suide to worship my ancestors and pursue the honor of the four generations of parents. What do you think?"
If you are rich and noble, you will not return home, just like walking in brocade clothes at night. Li Zicheng is a vulgar person after all.
Now that he is the king, he naturally wants to go back and show off.
Furthermore, he felt that it was definitely a blessing from his ancestors that he had the present. He had to go back and buried the skeleton dug out by Wang Qiaonian to avoid affecting the dragon veins of the old Li family.
Among the ministers, Gu Junen immediately stood up and saluted: "King, you must pursue the four generations of honor and the new emperor needs to ascend the throne. Now Tongguan is still in the hands of the enemy and the enemy has not been destroyed. How can you go to Suide to worship your ancestors?"
Li Zicheng frowned slightly. He was now quite glorious and naturally wanted to go home to show off, but unexpectedly, someone objected as soon as he spoke.
This is also because Lao Li was not educated and was called a king. He was eager to pursue the four generations of Kaohsiung to be the king and the emperor. He was really anxious and laughed at.
"King, Tongguan is the gateway of Guanzhong. In the hands of the king, the country will be forever solid. In the hands of the enemy, the gateway will be open. I am also advised by Master Gu's words." Yang Chengyu also said.
Niu Jinxing also agreed, but he did not stand up, which made Li Zicheng unhappy.
After hearing what everyone said, Li Zicheng was silent for a while, and felt it was reasonable. If Tongguan was not taken into his hands, he would not dare to worship his ancestors. So he said in a deep voice: "Okay! Then I will take back Tongguan first, ascend to the throne and become emperor, and pursue the four generations of parents as emperors and queens."

After Gao Huan arrived in Tongguan, he ordered the army to camp outside the city of Guancheng, and then followed Sun Chuanting and others into the pass to discuss major events.
At this time, Gao Huan rode his horse through Tongguan, looking up at the tall Guanlou, and couldn't help but feel shocked.
"The solidity of Tongguan is worthy of its reputation!" Gao Huan sighed.
Sun Chuanting said: "When the thief plundered the Three Qins, he must seize Tongguan. For Guandong, this Tongguan can be said to be a man who can pass through ten thousand men, but in Guanzhong, it is not as good as an ordinary pass!"
Gao Huan nodded slightly, "This Tongguan is originally guarding against Guandong."
Sun Chuanting said: "For this reason, although Tongguan is in my hands, it cannot be defended. General Gao should send troops quickly to Guanzhong to capture Huayin, Weinan, and Tongzhou, so that the gates of Guanzhong will be wide open. Only when the people of Sanqin are uneasy can they defeat the treacherous."
At this time, Gao Huan rode out of the door opening and came to the back of Tongguan. He found that it was much spacious and had many steps to climb the city wall.
Passes are different from cities. The city is surrounded by walls on all four sides, and the army stations the troops in the city.
Passes use mountains, rivers and territories, and often only have one city wall.
Gao Huan observed Tongguan for a moment and found that if Sun Chuanting said, it would be difficult to defend the back of Tongguan.
If the enemy attacks the back and kills up the steps, the defenders will not be able to reinforce the city.
Gao Huan nodded slightly, "Tongguan is indeed not allowed to be defended. You can only go forward to Huayin to protect this passage into the pass!"
Sun Chuanting was happy when he heard the words, "The General Gao can send troops immediately!"
Gao Huan shook his head, "Supervisor, a soldier under his command, had just fought fiercely with the Qing army and suffered heavy losses. He came forward rashly and probably repeated the same mistake!"
Gao Huan had received some information from Guanzhong. After Li Zicheng occupied Xi'an, most of the prefectures and counties in Guanzhong surrendered and obtained a lot of troops. Gao Huan was afraid that he would be flooded by the sea like Sun Chuanting.
If Gao Huan's horse army was successfully trained, Gao Huan would dare to break in, but if the infantry army was in good condition, he must be cautious.
This time, the Qing army entered the frontier with only 30,000 people, which put Gao Huan unimaginable pressure. Gao Huan did not want to suffer both defeats with Li Zicheng.
Now there is only one year left before the Qing army enters the pass. If the autonomous army and the rebel army suffer heavy losses, then there will be no obstacles for the Qing army to enter the pass.
Sun Chuanting's face turned dark, frowned, and said bluntly: "What are General Gao coming here for?"
Gao Huan was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting was so upright, so he could only say in a deep voice: "Of course, it's a reinforcement to the supervisor!"
Sun Chuanting was not satisfied with this answer. He had not had much time left. If he could not move back to a city as soon as possible, he would definitely be held accountable by the court.
However, although Gao Huan arrived, he was unwilling to take the initiative, so he had no choice.
For a moment, both of them remained silent and the atmosphere was not very harmonious.
Sun Chuanting glanced at Gao Huan and a thought arose in his mind, but it was soon dispelled.
At this time, the two were silent. A general rushed over and reported anxiously, "Supervisor, something is not good, the thief army is approaching!"
Gao Huan did not take the initiative to attack Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng came to Tongguan.
In an instant, Li Zicheng's arrival immediately broke the gap between Gao Huan and Sun Chuanting.
Now it is no longer a question of whether to send troops or not, but how to resist Li Zicheng, the two of them reached an agreement on their interests.
When Gao Huan heard the words, he immediately waved his hand and said anxiously: "Shi Du will go first, and I will mobilize troops to enter the pass."
Sun Chuanting nodded and left, while Gao Huan ordered his subordinates to immediately order the army to enter the pass.
In order to prevent the rebel army, Sun Chuanting chose a prominent place to set up camp and guard the road to prevent the rebel army from approaching Tongguan.
Soon, Gao Huan led a large army into the camp, and the brigade of autonomous troops followed closely and entered the camp.
"How is the situation of Supervisor Sun?" Gao Huan came to Sun Chuanting and asked.
Sun Chuanting took the Qianli Miles and said with a false finger: "You can see it yourself!"
Gao Huan looked into the distance and saw a group of people coming along the valley bottom in the distance, like a flood.
Seeing this, Gao Huan looked solemn and felt that it was necessary to talk to Li Baiwan.
