"Wow haha... Li Zicheng, the unloyal thieves, must be in a real embarrassment! Damn it, a real man should just die and pretend to be alive. Well, I've heard of people pretending to be dead in the past. This is the first time I’ve heard of a dead man pretending to be alive!”
In Chengdu, Sichuan, in the Daxi Prince's Palace, a man in his forties, wearing a red robe, with a long body and a tiger's chin, and a sallow complexion, was sitting on a tiger skin throne, holding a wine glass in one hand, drinking and sharing. Several civil and military officers sitting on both sides were talking about Li Zicheng's pretense.
Needless to say, this man is the current emperor of the Western Dynasty, Long Live Zhang Xianzhong!
Becoming a vassal to Li Zicheng, being granted the title of King of the West, etc. are all external. When he was behind closed doors in his hometown, Zhang Xianzhong was still the emperor of the Western Dynasty. Who dares to say that he was not? As long as Zhang was not drunk, he would probably die in an ugly way.
Of course, if this guy is lucky and happens to meet a drunk Zhang Xianzhong when he says the wrong thing, then it will be fine.
For example, today, after it was confirmed that Li Zicheng was pretending to be alive, Mr. Zhang was very happy and gathered all the civil and military personnel to have a drink. Now he is half drunk and half awake, and his temperament has also changed drastically - from a murderer to a murderer. A good uncle who is harmless to humans and animals.
Zhang Xianzhong was moody and he definitely liked to kill people. Maybe he was a little mentally disturbed and he especially liked to kill people. But saying that he slaughtered all the humans in Sichuan Province is obviously slander. Because he never fully controlled the entire province of Sichuan.
His team was also a rogue bandit, and was worse than Li Zicheng in terms of base area construction. Moreover, after entering Chengdu, the team's combat effectiveness also dropped drastically. It didn’t take long to lose Chongqing, Kuizhou, Luzhou, Xuzhou, Jiading, Lizhou and other places. Almost half of Sichuan was gone, leaving only Chengdu Prefecture, Long'an Prefecture, Baoning Prefecture, Shunqing Prefecture and Baoning Prefecture.
Moreover, the territory of these prefectures is not under the firm control of the Dashun court. His Dashun court has a slightly stronger presence in the central part of Chengdu Prefecture. It can be considered completely controlled only in Chengdu city. .
Therefore, it is impossible for Zhang Xianzhong to kill all the people in Sichuan, but it is still possible to kill all the people in Chengdu. But judging from his current mood, it seems that he will not go on a killing spree in Chengdu.
Because Li Zicheng is most likely dead, and Long Live Zhang is likely to replace Li Zicheng's position in the rebel world and become the leader of the various rebel armies!
"Father, Holy Ming!" The person who spoke loudly was a man with a somewhat gloomy face, about thirty years old, with five long beards under his chin, a red robe, and a red Guan Yu scarf on his head. He looked very majestic.
He is the first of Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons. His original name was Sun Kewang, and his current name is Zhang Kewang. In Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi court, he had a position below one person and above ten thousand people. At the head of the group of generals, he is the official worshiper of General Pingdong, supervises the army, and regulates civil and military affairs. Because Zhang Xianzhong had no children (it was not that he could not give birth, but that he could not feed him, and he either died young or was captured by the army), so this Zhang Kewang is also very likely to be the future Emperor Taizong of the West!
The future Emperor Taizong of the West was in a happy mood like his father, so he drank a few more drinks, a smile appeared on his gloomy face, and he talked more.
"That tiger (Li Guo) is two years older than Li Zicheng, how can he be the prince? It's not like Li Zicheng doesn't have young nephews... This must mean that something unexpected happened to Li Zicheng, and Li Guo secretly didn't mourn , with the prince regent holding real power.
Moreover, Li Zicheng had always regarded the army's territory very closely and was reluctant to divide his troops. How could it be possible for the four great princes Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, and Liu Fangliang to each lead an army and still be the governor? Doesn’t this divide the army and territory?
In addition, Guanzhong has been the home of emperors since ancient times, and I don’t know how much more important it is than Sichuan! If Li Zicheng had not died, how could Li Guo let Gao Yigong and Luo Hu lead their troops from Hanzhong to Sichuan? This was clearly because Tiger was worried that he would not be able to control the situation, so he summoned the two of them to lead troops to support the situation! "
Not to mention, Zhang Kewang’s analysis is quite reasonable!
Although Zhang Xianzhong's ability as an emperor is not as good as that of Li Zicheng, his vision in recruiting sons is really good. Zhang Kewang, Zhang Wenxiu, Zhang Qineng, Zhang Dingguo and other four sons are all talents!
Therefore, in history, Zhang Xianzhong's group grew stronger after his death and became more difficult to deal with. If Li Zicheng's death made Zhu Cixiang relieved, then if Zhang Xianzhong died, Zhu Cixiang would be too anxious to sleep.
Zhang Xianzhong nodded with a smile, took another sip of wine, and said with a smile: "It is too difficult to be the emperor of Sichuan. A group of Sichuan people don't know the emperor. I treat them honestly, but they all want to rebel. It's so embarrassing I'm tired of it. It's better to plunder, go through Yangpingguan, Lueyang, and Fengxian, leave Dashanguan, and fight back to Guanzhong. While Gao Yigong and Luo Hu led the troops south, they captured the The home of the emperor in Guanzhong!”
What a great place in Guanzhong! Li Zicheng liked it very much, Wu Sangui dreamed of getting it, and Zhang Xianzhong also dreamed about it day and night - except that before Li Zicheng held Guanzhong, and the Qing Dynasty came to fight for it, Zhang Xianzhong only dreamed about it and did not dare to actually send troops to seize it.
This Daxi old man still knows how much he weighs. He can't beat Li Zicheng - unless he "pretends" like Li Zicheng and lets his four adopted sons share the power...
But now that Li Zicheng is dead, the Qing Dynasty has not cared much about Guanzhong's affairs since Hauge was killed by Zhu Cihong. Moreover, according to detailed reports, the main force of the Dashun Army stationed in Guanzhong is moving south in a large scale.
So Zhang Xianzhong felt that his chance to become the master of Guanzhong had come! Only when you conquer Guanzhong can you have the possibility of conquering the world! Living in Sichuan is nothing more than decades of wealth. Sooner or later, the emperor in Kuimen will have to ask the emperor of the Central Plains to take over.
Zhang Xianzhong doesn't want to end up being Liu Adou or something like that, he can't afford to embarrass that person!
"Father," the person who spoke now was a young man in his twenties, who was dressed the same as Zhang Kewang, and also called Zhang Xianzhong "Father," "Now the entire road from Yangping Pass to Dashan Pass has been taken over by Liu Fangliang's people ( Most of this territory belonged to Hanzhong Prefecture, but Liu Fangliang only had half of Gongchang and was very dissatisfied. In order to appease him, Yuan Zongdi ceded Fengxian and Lueyang from his Hanzhong to him), fearing that it would not be easy to fight Come down."
This young man is Li Dingguo, now named Zhang Dingguo, and he is also Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son. He is the most handsome of the four adopted sons, with a dark face and long beard, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and a broad mouth. His dark skin is the result of being exposed to the sun. Leading troops in war is a job of protecting the outside world. What is exposed to the wind and sun cannot make it white. A long beard was the standard for handsome men in the Middle Ages.
Listening to Zhang Dingguo's questions, Zhang Xianzhong still smiled. Zhang Dingguo had been with him since he was a child (10 years old), and he was the closest to him among the four adopted sons. If he didn't have a biological son to take over when he arrived, Xi Taizong It is also very likely that he was hoodwinked by Zhang Dingguo!
"Huang Shu!" Zhang Xianzhong raised his voice and shouted.
Then he saw Huang Shu, who was wearing a blue robe, stood up tremblingly with a frightened look on his face, walked to Zhang Xianzhong and knelt down - his eyes were opened during these days in Chengdu, and he saw how Zhang Xianzhong killed people. Yes!
In terms of cruelty, this one is the best in the world! Zhu Cihong and Li Zicheng can't compare with others at all!
During these days in Chengdu, Huang Shu could be said to be on the verge of peeling off his skin...
However, Zhang Xianzhong did not kill anyone after drinking. He just said with a smile: "Go to Yangping Pass and tell Liu Fangliang to make way for me, and I will give him the territory of Long'an Mansion."
When Huang Shu heard this, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He had escaped from death!
Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong seemed to be in a good mood, he became more courageous and asked one more question: "Your Majesty, you are leaving north. Who will give you this Chengdu mansion?"
Zhang Xianzhong chuckled: "Who do you want to give it to? How about giving it to the Emperor of the Zhu family? From now on, when the old thief Ma Shiying takes over Chengdu, and the tiger leader takes over Chongqing, let them fight to the death. Go to Guanzhong to do something. What a great undertaking!”
