241 As expected of my strategist
If it were the past, Li Zicheng would not have considered that much. As Niu Jinxing said, what he cared about was that he could win in the end, or in other words, it would be good to survive.
But now, especially in recent years, the successive victories, the siege of cities and territories, all of them fled and heard the news, and more than one governor had been killed.
It can be seen from the fact that Li Zicheng is accused of becoming a civil and military general to Fengtian that his ambition is no longer satisfied with being able to survive.
He has begun to care about the people's hearts and how the people in the world view him! To put it bluntly, he is planning for the imperial plan and hegemony!
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng suddenly said firmly: "I decided to take advantage of the fact that Duke Xingguo has not yet become a climate, and the lord will destroy him!"
"The general is wise!" When Song Xiance heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved and quickly complimented.
Luo Rucai next to him was a little unhappy. For such a big decision, Li Zicheng even made the decision without asking him, and just made the decision!
Before, he was originally with Zhang Xianzhong, and because of such a frustration, he led the army northward, met with Li Zicheng, and became a deputy general, ranking second in the rebel army.
At this time, he heard him say angrily: "I won't go, I will guard Xiangyang so that the court's official army will take advantage of the situation and be taken away by them!"
When Li Zicheng heard this, he came back to his senses and immediately looked displeased, but he quickly disappeared, showing a sincere attitude, and said to Luo Rucai: "Lao Luo, who is our opponent in the imperial army now? As long as we can concentrate our troops to destroy Duke Xingguo and defeat Sun Chuanting again, let alone Xiangyang, even Yingtian Prefecture and the capital may not be able to take it down! Are you right?"
Luo Rucai lowered his head, not looking at him, nor speaking.
When Li Zicheng saw this, he said with great thought: "Once the Duke Xingguo has become a climate and commands the world to encircle and suppress us, so what if we have Xiangyang? Do you still think about the days of running around in the past? Taking advantage of the current situation and concentrating the main force to destroy him, we can have a good life, right?"
Hearing this, Luo Rucai looked up at him, his expression seemed a little moved, but he still did not agree.
Seeing this, Li Zicheng walked to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Old Luo, we have been fighting for so many years and are getting older. Can we keep running? As long as we concentrate our main force, we will definitely win this battle. In this way, I believe that the imperial army will be frightened by the news. The reputation of the two of us will be the world. Who can compete with other rebels? At that time, we will have the final say in glory and wealth, and you and my brothers!"
At this time, of course, among the thieves, the rankings are also important. Whoever has the strong strength or is famous, the other thieves will be obedient. Just like Li Zicheng, he became famous in the Central Plains war, so Luo Rucai came to join him.
In fact, he also has self-knowledge. In terms of fame and strength, he is even worse than Li Zicheng. He has never thought of riding on Li Zicheng's head.
At this time, Li Zicheng's words separated him from other rebel leaders and treated him almost the same as that. He was satisfied with this.
Thinking of this, Luo Rucai looked at Li Zicheng, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go north together and kill the mother Xingguo Duke!"
Just like that, after making an appointment, Luo Rucai hurriedly left and went to rectify his army.
When he left, the yamen was full of Li Zicheng's people, Li Zicheng's face turned gloomy.
Niu Jinxing’s suggestion just now was not adopted by Li Zicheng. On the contrary, Song Xiance was deeply appreciated, which made him a little worried. Seeing Li Zicheng’s face, he suddenly felt a little moved and said to Li Zicheng: “Cao Cao came to surrender to the general, but he did not obey the orders. It is actually a hidden danger in the army, so it is better to…”
Speaking of this, he showed a little cruel intention and slashed with his hand knife, and his meaning was clear.
"Stop, how could I, Li Zicheng, be such a person?" Li Zicheng shouted immediately when he heard this.
When Song Xiance heard this, he agreed with Niu Jinxing and immediately said, "General, Brother Niu's words are very true! There is no two generals in the army, and it is a taboo to make different orders. Besides, there is only one who can win the throne of the world. There is never a saying of equalizing the world, but there is no reality of equalizing the world!"
This sentence means to the final purpose nakedly.
After hearing this, Li Zicheng's attitude changed significantly, at least he did not scold him immediately!
When Song Xiance saw him, he struck and said while the war was hot: "I guess this war will not be easy. I dare to ask who is the vanguard of the general and who fights a tough battle? When Xiao Yuan camp came to surrender before, he used his troops as the vanguard. He said that the general wanted to harm him and left the general. What should Cao Cao's troops do? Should we wait until the war is in a state of anxiety? General, this battle is of great importance, so we can't make mistakes!"
Before, it was easy to fight the imperial army, but it was not difficult. Therefore, the contradiction between Li Zicheng's troops and Luo Rucai's troops was not prominent.
But at this time, Song Xiance had pointed out incisively that this battle is of great importance and is definitely not easy. If a tough battle is fought, the two sides will definitely have conflicts, which is one of them.
Second, if you win, the imperial map is expected to have hegemony. How should Li Zicheng and Cao Cao get along? Don’t say that you can divide the world in a childish way, because that is simply impossible.
When Li Zicheng heard this, he lowered his head and remained silent, obviously measuring something.
Seeing this, Niu Jinxing immediately said, "General, you should stop and suffer from it!"
Among the people present, they were the strategists, so they were always talking. But at this time, as Li Zicheng's people, they certainly hoped that Li Zicheng would be the boss and become the emperor in the future, so they would be the founding heroes of the dragon.
Therefore, they all followed suit and persuaded him to make up his mind to annex Luo Rucai's troops for a moment.
To be honest, does Li Zicheng have this idea? There is definitely!
When Song Xiance just saw him and proposed the "Eighteen Children Become the Main Artifact", he began to look forward to one day becoming the emperor. He never thought of giving up the throne of this emperor to others.
To be an emperor, the strength in his hands is of course the most important. When Xiao Yuanying came to surrender before, he certainly had to let Xiao Yuanying take the lead; Luo Rucai came to surrender, so it was the same, and he could not waste his own main force.
Luo Rucai has been in the world for many years and has come to join Li Zicheng, so he naturally knew that he had to work hard. At the beginning, the war was not very strong, and the official army fled when they heard the news, so he had no complaints.
But now, after a long time, I have a tendency to be disobedient. When I heard that I wanted to fight the Duke of Xingguo, I didn’t want to go and wanted to stay in Xiangyang!
Li Zicheng definitely has opinions about Luo Rucai. However, he is not like his subordinates, and he still has concerns. If he really wants to annex Luo Rucai's troops, then other rebels may not have anyone to surrender to him again.
For now, he doesn't want to do this.
Therefore, after thinking a lot, Li Zicheng made a decision and shouted to his subordinates coldly: "Don't mention this matter again. I, Li Zicheng, are not such a person!"
As soon as he said this, a lot of people were disappointed, and many people wanted to persuade him again.
But Li Zicheng did not give them a chance and continued to shout coldly: "Listen, I will never let you go if anyone wants to spread this matter! Get out of here and prepare for war!"
After saying that, he shook his hand and went into the back hall.
Seeing that he was gone, everyone was disappointed. Only Song Xiance smiled but said nothing.
When Niu Jinxing saw this, he became a little angry and said sarcastically: "The general doesn't listen. Why are you happy? Could it be that you were just perfunctory just now, so you don't care?"
When the others heard this, they turned to look at Song Xiance. It was obvious that they all disliked their military advisor.
After hearing this, Song Xiance smiled slightly and said, "Don't be disappointed, the general has actually agreed, but he just lacks a legitimate opportunity!"
When they heard what he said, the crowd was a little surprised and wanted to ask in detail, but Song Xiance said first: "Everyone, you must remember that the general is a benevolent lord with unparalleled loyalty and will definitely not be sorry to his brothers. Sometimes, we should recite the name of injustice, do you understand?"
When these people heard this, they all realized it suddenly. Just like the emperor is always good, and the bad are treacherous ministers.
So they all understood and hurriedly asked Song Xiance what to do.
However, Song Xiance did not give the answer immediately, but just said that he would wait for the opportunity first.
So, these people understood and went back to rectify the troops first.
They didn't know that Li Zicheng did not leave after he actually moved into the back hall, but was listening to the corner of the wall. After everyone outside left, he saw him smile with satisfaction and whispered to himself: "I am worthy of being my military advisor!"
A few days later, the bandits and horses scattered out in all directions, went to various places to send orders, gathered the main force, all heading north and towards Kaifeng.
At this time, history has deviated from its original track and has become increasingly unrecognizable.
……………………
In the capital, Zhang Mingwei's good news had arrived. In a moment, the news of annihilation of the bandits in one fell swoop. The news of Kaifeng's rescue caused the entire capital to fall into a sea of joy.
This is a great victory, a great victory that the imperial court has not seen for a long time, and it has greatly boosted people's hearts.
Even the palace was spreading.
"So, Duke Xingguo will be able to train soon, so he can see Guo Jing and Huang Rong again. I really want to know what will happen to them in the future!"
