"Well, you have worked hard too." Li You smiled and walked into the main courtyard.
These people in front of him are all Ming ministers who have chosen to join King Dashun. Li You hates these people from the bottom of his heart. They don't even know how to abide by the rules of loyalty to the emperor. In his opinion, such people are considered true. If you take refuge in Dashun, you may not be sincere. These are just a group of people who only care about interests first.
But now, the city of Beijing has not been captured and Chongzhen has not been captured. These people are still useful, so let's make use of them first.
After Li You appeared, he naturally sat in the first place, and then asked Wang Zhixin and the other four about the situation in the capital.
"General Li, the emperor is in the palace. Our family has sent people to keep an eye on him. He can't escape." Wang Zhixin was the first to speak, speaking like a treasure.
"General Li, many officials want to take refuge with King Dashun, and they are ready at any time. Don't worry." This sentence was said by Yang Guanguang. Although his hand still hurts terribly, at this critical moment, he couldn't rest. Instead, he had to do more things, so that he could get a share of the pie and get what he deserved in the subsequent change of dynasties. benefits.
After the two of them finished speaking, Wu Mengming and Luo Yangxing spoke again, saying that they could now mobilize nearly two thousand Jin Yiwei, and this number was still rising. If necessary, they could do everything they could. Do your part.
"Very good." Li You was very happy to hear that there were still two thousand Jinyi guards available.
This is a very strong force. With these people, plus those brought by him and Bai Bangzheng's men, the number of available troops reaches nearly 5,000. That was the existence of power that could complete the outflank of the imperial palace and even capture Chongzhen alive.
"What's going on with Zhu Changwu? How much do you know?" After expressing his satisfaction with the work of several people, Li You asked another question, that is, Zhu Changwu who killed three of their Dashun Army generals in a row.
Especially when He Jin died, he bluntly criticized Li Zicheng. After this incident was reported back, the impact was very bad. Many generals ran to their King Dashun one after another to express their loyalty and said that they were different from He Jin.
Even after doing this, they knew that after this incident, Li Zicheng would have some opinions on them. It is said that their Dashun King is not big-minded.
As the initiator of this incident, Zhu Changwu became a being that these generals hated to the core.
Everyone is eager to kill and execute him.
When they learned that Li You was coming this time, several generals found him and said that they had to deal with Zhu Changwu no matter what, and it was best to capture him alive. Even if you can't, you can't kill him too cheaply.
As soon as Zhu Changwu was mentioned, the four people who were very enthusiastic just now stopped making any movement. One by one, you looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to say.
They did not know much about Zhu Changwu's situation.
In fact, this person seemed to have jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, without any warning at all before.
Even they are still inquiring about Zhu Changwu's origins, but there is no news so far. How do you ask them to answer this question?
Li You's originally smiling expression quickly became serious, "Since we don't know, let's check it out now. We need to know all about his past, where he usually rests, and his preferences. .Only in this way can we find the best way to kill him with one blow, go check it out."
"Yes." Wang Zhixin and others answered with bitter expressions, and then left one by one, wanting to know more about Zhu Changwu through their own channels.
And soon, after careful inquiring, all kinds of news came back, but no matter how you looked at it, these news seemed to be so unreliable.
For example, one of the theories says that Zhu Changwu master passed by the gods on the sea and mastered the magic overnight, and then he had this invincible ability.
Others say that Zhu Changwu accidentally drank the fairy water, and then his body was transformed. Now he is invulnerable and invincible.
What's even more outrageous is that Zhu Changwu not only received guidance from the Immortal Family, but was also granted the title of Immortal. He also went to the Palace of Hell because of this, where he burned his own life and death book, truly achieving eternity. The realm of immortality and so on.
Speaking of these legends, most of them were made up by that guy Liang Jun.
Ever since Zhu Changwu told Queen Zhou that he had returned from the sea, he told this statement to Liang Jun and Hu Yunfeng, and told them not to mention Lanshan's learning in the future, only that they had wandered at sea.
If someone asks about his identity, the more exaggerated the statement, the better. He will not be angry and refuse to say anything. He will also want to see who has the richer imagination between the two.
With the young master’s encouragement, one can imagine the result. Hu Yunfeng is better, at least his words and deeds are reliable, and even if he is making up, he will not be so exaggerated. But Liang Jun was different. After receiving encouragement, when others asked about the origin of their general, he would tell as many absurd things as he could.
Sometimes, when Liang Jun was asked by several groups of people a day, he would give several explanations. After this, there are too many folk legends about Zhu Changwu, so many that none of them are true or even reliable. Most of them feel fake after hearing them.
But as more people say it, the falsehood may become true. This is the result of what Wang Zhixin and others found out.
Looking at the rumors that even they couldn't believe, they really had a headache. They didn't even know how they were going to smooth things over when they reported these results to Li You.
At this time, Zhu Changwu, who they were paying close attention to, was mobilizing troops and generals and preparing to attack at night.
News has come from Wu Linzheng that when Bai Bangzheng was on his way to the military camp, one of his soldiers left the team on horseback and walked around the outer city twice. After seeing that no one paid attention to him, he left the city. .
If Wu Linzheng was still skeptical before, now he completely believes in Zhu Changwu's judgment.
If Zhu Changwu hadn't said that Bai Bangzheng was still useful and couldn't be killed, he would probably kill people with a knife now.
Of course Bai Bangzheng was useful. If he hadn't sent the message back, how could the next plans be realized?
In ancient times, Jiang Qian stole books for Zhou Gongjin to use, but the prerequisite was that someone stole the books first, and then a series of plans could be implemented.
In Zhu Changwu's eyes, this Bai Bangzheng is Jiang Qian. He must not be killed until he is still valuable. On the contrary, he must be well preserved until he can play more roles.
In a large house under Zhanghuamen City, the owner had already fled the city to avoid the disaster of the war. The place became empty and became the place where Zhu Changwu held temporary meetings.
There were not many people attending the meeting. To be honest, there were only five people including Zhu Changwu. They were Ji Jinkai, Hu Yunfeng, Ling Xiaoyun and Xue Changkong.
The four of them were all skilled in martial arts and were at the level of generals. Zhu Changwu called the four of them to come and assign the next military tasks.
"Everyone, we will have a military operation tonight, and we will be the leaders of the participants. After you go back later, you can choose some strong and experienced combatants. You don't need more than one person. You can only bring fifty people. Let’s sneak attack the robber camp.”
There are five people in total, one person leads fifty people, which is only 250 cavalry, but they want to sneak attack the Dashun Army with a million troops. This move is somewhat bold.
However, no one at the meeting raised any different opinions or raised any questions.
Without it, the people who could be called here are the people Zhu Changwu trusts the most now, and they also trust the general.
"Remember, let the two hundred soldiers put on the best armor. There will be some dangers tonight. Everyone must learn how to protect themselves in the war." As Zhu Changwu spoke, he raised his hand and threw four The soft stab-proof suit said: "This is for you. Wearing it can save your life in critical moments."
A stab-proof suit can sometimes save a life. Although it requires a point to redeem it, in Zhu Changwu's opinion, it is completely worth it.
Zhu Changwu did not inform more people about tonight's action, nor did he even report it to Chongzhen. He didn't want the other party to worry too much. Besides, he had already arranged everything. With Bai Bangzheng as a divine assistant, he must be afraid that even intruders would be able to cooperate with him.
Will the intruder cooperate?
The answer is yes - yes.
Bai Bangzheng sent messengers on horseback to the vicinity of Marco Polo Bridge. After finding the Ming army's station, they sent up the urgent secret letter written by Bai Bangzheng.
Outside a large civilian courtyard, a tall military tent stood here. This was Li Zicheng's temporary resting place. All the senior officials of the Dashun Army gathered here, and the secret letter was quickly in everyone's hands. being passed on.
After reading the letter, all of their faces were filled with smiles.
Before that, they all thought that the Ming army would defend the city of Beijing. They also thought about how to surround and occupy the city. I really didn't expect that the man named Zhu Changwu was so bold and cunning. He didn't even think about defending the city, but wanted to break out of the siege through chaos.
But think about it carefully, if it were you, knowing that the troops were insufficient and unable to defend the city, would they defend it to the death?
The answer is yes, definitely not.
As the old saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. Defending even though you know you are outmatched is what a stupid person does.
"Haha, this Zhu Changwu can afford to put it down. In this case, we only need to strengthen the surrounding defenses and strengthen the patrol team tomorrow night. Once we discover the direction of their attack, we will surround them with a large army. This matter The battle can be decided." After reading the letter, General Quan Liu Zongmin couldn't help laughing.
