Li Zicheng was waiting for Qiu Zhitao to pass him false information to confirm the fact that Qiu Zhitao had rebelled. He was making full use of this opportunity to defeat Sun Chuanting. He did not want to alert the enemy prematurely and make Sun Chuanting change his plan.

Moreover, the troops of Sun Chuanting and Li Zicheng had already been engaged in a series of fierce battles in Ruzhou and Jiaxian, Henan.

It's just that Li Ping didn't know all this, and it was difficult to verify it.

Although I was speechless about Sun Chuanting and Qiu Zhitao's confusion, even though I knew that nothing could be changed.

But Li Ping felt that something should be done, and he could indeed do something.

That is the intolerance deep in his heart. His heart is not that hard yet, and he always has to try and work hard.

Maybe a miracle will happen again!

As for Zhou Wen's proposal, although Li Ping has not yet thought about it, he feels that since Wang Si has returned safely and Zuo Liangyu's mind has been made up, it is of little significance to stir up trouble and it will be very detrimental to him.

At present, he does not want to completely fall out with Zuo Liangyu for Daming, and he has no plans to bury himself with him for Daming.

However, Zhou Wen's two suggestions still gave him some inspiration.

Li Ping quickly began to ponder the intelligence brought by Mi Cang about the weak enemy troops in Mianyang Prefecture and inquired in detail.

According to Micang, due to factors such as insufficient troops, lack of confidence in the power of the navy, and inconvenient support, the defense focus of Chengtian Yangwuwei was north of the Han River, and there was no plan to defend Mianyang Prefecture south of the Han River.

, so there were neither generals nor troops, and the garrison strength was less than a thousand.

Even if the people are mobilized, the number of troops that can be assembled is only a few thousand at most.

This is completely consistent with the overall contraction of the peasant army stationed in Mianyang and the strong counterattack of the troops stationed in Hanchuan that Li Ping encountered some time ago.

Seeing that Li Ping had the idea of ​​attacking Mianyang Prefecture, Zhou Wen became excited again.

This time Li Ping did not ignore him, but quickly made up his mind.

Note:

Regarding the fact that Zuo Liangyu's wife and daughter were captured by Li Zicheng and that Li Zicheng sent Wang Si to Wuchang to persuade Zuo Liangyu, it is found in "Sui Kou Chronicles", but its authenticity cannot be verified.

In addition, the story in many historical records that Zuo Liangyu's family was killed in the Xuzhou mutiny is probably not true, because the rebels at that time were Ma Shixiu and Du Yingjin, and these two people returned to Zuo Liangyu's tent soon after, and

Ma Shixiu is still Zuo Liangyu's current main naval force. When he returned to Wuchang and went south to Yuezhou, he relied entirely on Ma Shixiu for his water power.

If Zuo Liangyu's whole family was really killed, no matter how big of a heart Zuo Liangyu had, there was no way he could accommodate these two people.
