Although Li Zicheng has experienced all kinds of storms and waves, this kind of news should be calm for him, but Li Zicheng couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Although Sichuan was built by him, it is different from Northwest in Li Zicheng's mind. After all, Northwest is his hometown and the place where he started his business, Li Zicheng still knew the value of Sichuan very well. This is a Feng Shui treasure land and rich resources, and it is the source of many of his logistics supplies.

The loss of Sichuan is equivalent to a loss of retreat for Li Zicheng. If something happens in the capital, he can retreat to Sichuan in the northwest, continue to recruit soldiers and collect supplies in Sichuan. In this way, a two-pronged approach can at least gradually recover. But now something happened in Sichuan. If he can't take the capital, it will be embarrassing. There is no way around, and the Dashun Army will become rootless duckweed. Li Zicheng knew that what else could it be to come to 800 miles to speed up at this time? It must be a bad thing, a bad thing to the pinnacle.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Zicheng opened the letter, he almost fainted. It turned out that the new army had invaded Sichuan, and many places were in succession. This letter was written by Li Shuangxi. Li Zicheng calculated the time. If it was really as stated in the letter, Liu Yi led the army to attack Sichuan, then Chengdu Prefecture would definitely not be able to hold on for a long time. When Li Zicheng read the letter, Liu Yi's army had already entered the city. In an instant, the blue veins on his forehead stormed up, and he raised his hand to overturn the teacup on the table. With a bang, he smashed it on the ground and smashed it around.

All the soldiers were so scared that they knelt down. Niu Jinxing and others who had just come in were also surprised. They obviously took down Shunde Mansion and are now counting supplies. Why would the emperor get so angry? "Waste! All the fuck are a bunch of wastes! Liu Yi led his troops into Sichuan. There was no news of such a big thing along the way. They all fought to the city of Chengdu. I only realized that the guards of so many of the prefectures in front of him were dead?" Li Zicheng became more and more angry as he spoke, and he wanted to lead the troops back now and compete with Liu Yi.

Niu Jinxing and the generals finally understood what was going on. At this critical moment, Sichuan had a problem. And according to the emperor's intention, it was Liu Yi who led his troops into Sichuan. What this means is Niu Jinxing, who Liu Yi is? The timing is really good. The main force of the Dashun Army is all concentrated in Northern Zhili. Sichuan can basically be said to be in an empty state. Qingyi Army traveled thousands of miles and sent troops into Sichuan. If the goal is not to capture the entire territory of Sichuan, that would be a strange thing. Now Niu Jinxing can make a conclusion, and Sichuan will definitely not be able to save it. He went up to look at the letters on the table, and his eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan-shaped shape. Liu Yi's wishful thinking was good. At this time, the Dashun Army would not be able to turn back. This forced the Emperor to take a desperate bet and must conquer the Ming Dynasty capital. If he could not defeat it, the Dashun Army would be passive.

Seeing Li Zicheng angry, Niu Jinxing hurriedly said, "Master, Liu Yi personally led his troops into Sichuan. He must have discussed with Qin Liangyu, Mu Tianbo and others. Several people joined forces. Sichuan's defense was empty. I don't think he could defend it anymore. The troops under Li Shuangxi were not considered strong soldiers in our army. It was barely enough to deal with Qin Liangyu and others. Liu Yi personally led the elite new army. They can't stand it when dealing with such troops. Sichuan is over." Li Zicheng snorted and said, "You still want to say that I only hate these wastes. At the critical moment, I didn't even send a letter. I only found out that I could not go back to rescue now." Niu Jinxing went on

The previous step: "Master, even if you knew from the beginning, we wouldn't be able to look back. Doesn't the pride understand?" This is the truth. Even if you knew that Liu Yi was entering Sichuan at the beginning, according to Li Zicheng's gambler's character, you wouldn't be able to look back. The fact that hundreds of thousands of people were wiped out in Jiujiang some time ago is still vivid in my mind. Li Zicheng didn't have time to return to fight with Liu Yi. In this way, his plan to attack Beizhili would be in vain. So no matter how you choose, it must be more important here. However, Li Zicheng would not be able to accept this result for a while. Sichuan was an important achievement he had won with painstaking efforts. It was gone, who could accept it.

Niu Jinxing said again: "Master, I think that Liu Yi's sinister intention is obvious to attack Sichuan. We may not be able to rebel against the generals." Li Zicheng turned around and said: "Hmm? What does military advisor mean?" Niu Jinxing's eyes rolled and his plan was in his heart. "Master, why did Liu Yi attack Sichuan?" Li Zicheng said: "Didn't you ask clearly that Liu Yi's attack on Sichuan just to cut off our retreat, force us to a dead end, and seize our supplies? Anyway, he just can't stand our Dashun regime and wants to go against me everywhere." Niu Jinxing said: "No, but what the emperor said is on the surface. I think Liu Yi has a more sinister intention."

Li Zicheng asked, "What sinister intention?" "Kill people with a knife!" Niu Jinxing said, "Kill people with a knife?" Li Zicheng asked, "Kill people with a knife?" Niu Jinxing said, "The so-called killing people with a knife means that Liu Yi has probably had a disobedient mind for a long time, but after all, he is known as the Ming Dynasty official army. He himself is the Duke of Liao and the Grand Governor's Office. If he raises troops to overthrow the court, it may not work in name only. But if he sits in the mountains and watches the tiger fight and destroys the court with our hands, wouldn't this problem be solved.

.”When Li Zicheng said this, no matter how slow Li Zicheng was, he could react to Niu Jinxing’s meaning. He whispered: “You mean that Liu Yi attacked Sichuan to force us to speed up the attack on the capital. As long as we destroy the court and eliminate Chongzhen, Liu Yi will have no legal problems. At this time, he will raise another army, and no one will criticize him.” Niu Jinxing nodded and said: “This is what I mean. Liu Yi is a vicious person. This move is to remove firewood from the bottom of the pot and force us to become his tool.”

Li Zicheng said: "But since the military advisor has thought of this, there must be a way to crack it?" Niu Jinxing said: "This move is considered an open conspiracy. No matter what, we must attack the capital. Whether it is Huang Taiji who conquers the capital or we who conquers the capital, Liu Yi is not stained with the blood of the court. However, even so, we cannot make him feel better. I think that people should be sent to the capital and spread rumors, saying that Liu Yi has a large army to fight, but he does not focus on Northern Zhili, even if he enters Henan to capture our retreat, but he actually chose to advance to Sichuan, which clearly is to grab territory, and by the way forces us to increase the intensity of attacking the capital. This is to treat the emperor and the court as bargaining chips, but he does not look like a minister at all. His intentions are even more sinister than Yuan Chonghuan back then. In this way, we

To expose Liu Yi's Sima Zhao's heart, it is best to let Chongzhen issue an edict to declare Liu Yi a rebel. This will also make Liu Yi lose his reputation and increase his bargaining chips for us to fight with Liu Yi in the future." Li Zicheng said decisively: "Okay, this plan is very wonderful. No matter what happens in the future, Liu Yi will definitely fight us in a decisive battle. In addition to us, there are also the Qing army, and Liu Yi will not let it go. Before the final decisive battle, it is naturally excellent to weaken his power. Just do what you said. We should not stay in Shunde Prefecture for too long. After the army is packed and stopped, we will go north to Zhending Prefecture immediately." "Get order!" The generals clasped their fists together. At this point, Li Zicheng knew that he had no way out. If he conquered the capital, he would be alive, and retreated and died. He would have two million troops under his command. Everyone hoped to take them to victory. He could not retreat at this moment, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hurry up, try harder and transport everything up." Just when Li Zicheng was furious, the pre-war preparations for Zhending Prefecture also entered the final stage. A large number of Zhending Prefecture people were mobilized to join the city guarding troops, transporting supplies and city guarding weapons to the soldiers. In fact, a large number of people packed up their beddings a month ago and ran to the capital. In their opinion, the most solid city in the north is the capital. If the capital could not be defended, it would be even more unsafe to stay in Zhending Prefecture, Baoding Prefecture and other places, so they all wanted to go to the capital to avoid it, but unexpectedly, the population inside the capital had long been saturated. In recent years, the rebel army was rampant in the northwest, and many Shaanxi,

The people of Shanxi fled to the capital, and the Qing army attacked Jizhen in Liaodong and plundered the border. Many ordinary people came over. Now the capital is crowded. Not to mention the people at the bottom, even wealthy families from other places will instantly become ordinary residents when they arrive in the capital. Prices in the capital are rising, and their money may be considered as personalities in the local area. When they arrive in the capital, they are nothing. It is difficult to rent a house. Many families are crowded in the old and dilapidated alleys. It is better to live a day. People from other places are prohibited from entering the capital. After these residents of Zhending Prefecture were rejected by the soldiers guarding the city, they could only return to Zhending. The thieves were rampant, and it was even more dangerous to stay in the countryside or in the county.
