There were internal differences, and Li Zicheng was helpless.
After all, a penny can't beat a heroic man.
When the war is going well, hello to you, hello to me, hello to everyone, and everything is harmonious.
But now that we are losing battles one after another and suffering heavy losses, all kinds of grievances have emerged.
The most important thing is that what little money is left can no longer support everyone's food, clothing and food.
"Brother Liang, to tell you the truth, we also know that going to Sichuan is unlucky. But now we are tired and hungry, and we urgently need to find a rich place to replenish our energy. We are spending our time in this useless place. , but there is no way to survive.”
Unlike other people's anger, Li Zicheng was sincere.
Just because he understood that what Liang Yue said was not wrong and was motivated by public motives.
But the reality is that, if it is correct, it may not be easy to use.
As a leader, Li Zicheng must consider the vast majority of people.
His openness eliminated Liang Yue's gloom.
"My subordinate is short-sighted."
When Li Zicheng spoke, he kept looking at other people's expressions.
He had long noticed that other people were full of hostility towards Liang Yue.
This made him feel powerless.
But there is no way. As a group, he has to take care of the thoughts of the vast majority of people, rather than considering who is right and who is wrong.
In order to unite people at the critical moment of life and death, Li Zicheng had to make a decision against his will.
"In this current situation, if we all go together, we will definitely be made dumplings by the army. It is better to break out separately and move with the camera. When the time is right, we can join forces again."
Everyone was shocked to hear his decision.
But after careful consideration, everyone knew that this was the only way.
Thousands of them walked together, and their goals were too obvious. The officers and soldiers were chasing and intercepting them everywhere, and it was easy to catch them.
If they are dispersed into several small groups and travel over mountains and ridges, they have a high chance of survival.
If it doesn't work, if you throw away your weapons and horses and disguise yourself as a refugee, it won't be easy for the officers and soldiers to recognize you.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Li Zicheng asked: "Who wants to go to Sichuan with us?"
"I'll go with my uncle."
Li Guo and Li Jin spoke quickly.
Others can leave Li Zicheng, but they can't.
They are Li Zicheng's nephews and relatives, and they are tied together in life and death.
"I will also follow King Chuang."
Liu Tichun is just rough in appearance, but has a delicate mind.
In the eyes of others, Li Zicheng is now a phoenix in trouble, worse than a chicken. However, he traveled back and forth among the peasant masses and had already discovered that compared to other leaders, Li Zicheng was more than a level above him.
He believed that sooner or later Li Zicheng would make a comeback.
And when that time comes, his loyalty will be rewarded with unparalleled rewards.
Liang Yue also wanted to speak, but Li Zicheng beat him to it.
"Brother Liang, our safety depends on your help. I will give you all the muskets and artillery on hand. Can you help us delay Hong Chengchou for some time?"
If you want to successfully transfer into Sichuan, you must first avoid the eyes and ears of the government troops.
In this case, someone needs to do something involved.
Since Liang Yue was intolerant of others and did not agree to go to Sichuan, Li Zicheng decided to give him the task of breaking up the relationship and involving others.
For this reason, Li Zicheng also spent a lot of money.
He gave Liang Yue all the muskets and artillery he bought from Xia.
"King Chuang..."
Yuan Zongdi was a little dissatisfied and wanted to stop him.
After fighting for such a long time, everyone knew how powerful the muskets and artillery purchased by Xia Guo were.
Without these things, it means that the tiger has no claws and claws. How can it survive in the future?
Li Zicheng raised his palms to prevent everyone from speaking.
Compared with others, his mind is undoubtedly much broader.
He is very clear that the current situation is that he is fleeing, and the only way is to run as fast as possible.
Although muskets and artillery are extremely powerful, they are too heavy. If you continue to carry them, they will only delay your progress.
Compared with survival, these possessions are not that important.
And if you want Liang Yue to work hard, you have to spend some money.
Liang Yue had been jealous of these muskets and artillery for who knows how long, so it was just right to take them out at this time.
Of course he knew that Liang Yue was very thoughtful and could definitely guess his intentions.
"I just ask Brother Liang to delay the army for a while, and then it's up to you to decide where you want to go. From now on, Brother Liang can dispatch all the leaders in the northwest as he pleases."
This is another weight.
Li Zicheng allowed Liang Yue to form an army alone, and his status was equal to that of other leaders.
As long as he can survive the encirclement and suppression by the army, Liang Yue will be considered to be in the forefront.
Liang Yue remained silent, just listened carefully.
Li Zicheng took out his muskets and artillery, and gave him his name, which made him understand that he could not refuse.
Otherwise, there would be blood splattered on the spot today.
Naturally, he felt sad in his heart, but there was also a hint of excitement.
After all, from now on, he is the legitimate leader.
From now on, even if we meet Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Cao and others, we can treat them as equals.
Apart from being restrained by Li Zicheng in the future, there are basically no constraints.
Joining the Peasant Army for so many years has made him see its many shortcomings. However, he is just a small general, and he can't change anything.
From now on, as the leader, he can build the army according to his own intentions.
Only in this way can we have a chance to seek revenge against Zuo Mengeng.
"King Chuang, don't worry. I will fight to the death to stop the army here for ten days, and will never let the army cross the Tao River."
Liang Yue issued a military order.
Li Zicheng thought about it.
Ten days was enough time for their men and horses to cover 500 miles.
In this way, the hope of escaping the encirclement and interception by the government and soldiers was greatly increased. Maybe after arriving in Sichuan, we can turn things around and become bigger and stronger.
"We all know that Brother Liang is a very human being."
Li Zicheng laughed boldly and finally felt a little more relaxed.
"Come on, hand over all the existing guns and cannons to Brother Liang."
Li Zicheng is gone.
Didn't stop even for a moment.
With his remaining more than 3,000 horses, he crossed the Tao River overnight and disappeared into the vast mountains of Hanzhong.
Liang Yue stood on the west bank of Tao River, looking east, wondering what he was thinking.
"Brother, King Chuang is not kind. He gave us guns and cannons, but he doesn't have much medicine left."
Jiang Chaoyun came angrily.
Liang Yue came back to his senses and smiled.
"No matter how good the weapon is, as long as our brothers are here, it is stronger than anything else."
His words made Jiang Chaoyun's anger dissipate somewhat.
"Go find Zhao Si. From now on, we are just grasshoppers on a rope."
If Liang Yue is an outlier among Li Zicheng's army, then Zhao Si is an outlier among Liang Yue's army.
Because everyone knows that he and his men are from the White Lotus Sect.
Although he usually followed Liang Yue's orders to march and fight, Zhao Si's troops always stood alone and seemed out of place.
But now, Liang Yue has to cooperate with Zhao Si.
