Watching is a talent, and everyone has this potential.
The noise at the city gate immediately attracted people passing by. Even if it had nothing to do with themselves, listening to it would always satisfy their curiosity.
But after hearing this, many people suddenly became angry.
He served the general on the front line, but he was killed in battle by the general. His family was not saved, he was killed by the general, and he was accused of betraying the general.
A large part of the people in Chongqing today are family members of the bandits.
Their family members, husbands or children, are working outside for the general. If something goes wrong and the person is gone, even their family members may lose their lives. Who would want such a thing?
All of a sudden, the city gate was really agitated, and everyone wanted an explanation!
The city gate guard was naturally a close confidant of Li Zicheng, and he wanted to reprimand him at first.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was immediately flooded with saliva. There are many people who want to use swords and guns.
With no other choice, he immediately reported to the general's mansion.
At this time, Li Zicheng was worrying about how to solve this predicament? Will the imperial army directly take advantage of the victory to attack Chongqing? Are the troops on Liu Zongmin's side too small? If reinforcements are to be sent, where should they come from?
Every question troubled him very much. So much so that his hair has been falling out more and more these days.
But under such circumstances, the city gate guard came to report the news.
"What?" Li Zicheng was furious when he heard this, "Someone dares to make trouble at the gate of the city. What do you do for food? Don't you know how to arrest those who dare to make trouble? If you chop him a few times, you will be honest!"
"No, General!" the city gate guard said in embarrassment, "Among those making trouble, there are General Liu's people, General Yuan's people, General Gao's people..."
In short, Li Zicheng had famous generals, and their subordinates were more or less involved in making trouble. Not for anything else, because they may all end up being He 100 Years Old. When it comes to your own interests, you must have peace of mind.
When Li Zicheng heard that there were so many people, he immediately understood why he didn't suppress them on the spot. So, he immediately asked: "Why are they making trouble?"
"A brother who returned from the front recognized the heads of He Baisui's family at the city gate. He said that He Baisui's fake surrender was discovered by the imperial officers and soldiers, and that he had been beheaded in public by the imperial officers and soldiers. He also said that people like He Baisui had faked surrender. , if the imperial court does not accept surrender, all will be killed without mercy..."
After hearing his explanation, Li Zicheng understood the reason. Nine times out of ten, he killed the wrong person!
After understanding this, Li Zicheng's face immediately turned pale. Because he understands why so many people are making trouble!
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng's face suddenly turned very ugly, flushed red, and shouted sternly: "Song Aizhi has mistaken me, Song Aizhi has mistaken me, and Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi, you... you have mistaken..."
Before he could finish speaking in one breath, suddenly, with a pop, Li Zicheng spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
In such a situation, it was already very difficult, but in the end, the wrong person was killed. This will make the military even more uneasy, and the situation will become even worse, even to the point of being irreversible.
Thinking about this result, this old blood really deserves to be vomited!
This time, Li Zicheng did not faint. He pushed away the bodyguard who rushed to help him and shouted: "Bring me Song Xiance, Gao Yigong and Yuan Zongdi immediately!"
Then, he immediately sent an order to dispatch more troops to the city gate to control the situation. The entire Chongqing government was immediately put under martial law!
Not long after, Song Xiance, Gao Yigong and Yuan Zongdi arrived in a hurry. Although Li Zicheng's order was to "bring" them, it meant to capture them. But his personal guards were not so bold as to arrest the military advisor and several generals.
When they rushed over, they saw the situation on the street and knew something was going on. Just by asking, they knew the reason. Suddenly, the three of them turned pale.
When he saw blood stains on the corners of Li Zicheng's mouth, he became even more frightened.
When he saw them arriving, Li Zicheng stared at the three of them with his cannibalistic gaze. It was really that kind of gaze.
"General!" Song Xiance finally said bravely and without confidence, "Could this be a counter-intentional plan by the imperial court? Is it possible to do this and then release people back to shake our military morale?"
Li Zicheng was stunned when he heard this, as it seemed that this was indeed possible. However, when he thought about it, his face became gloomy again, and he shouted coldly: "How could the court know that we killed He Baisui's family?"
Song Xiance had nothing to say after hearing this. Indeed, how could the imperial court know that He Baisui's family members were killed here, and then released to shake the morale of the army!
Yuan Zongdi, who was standing next to him, heard this and said in a low voice: "Now that we have all been killed, this person cannot be resurrected. What should we do?"
As soon as he heard this, Li Zicheng was furious. He picked up the brush on the table and threw it away. At the same time, he shouted: "What else can I do? I'll kill you and give them an explanation!"
After hearing this, Song Xiance and the others lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.
Of course Li Zicheng just said that, so how could he really kill these three people now? Those who really wanted to kill these three people had already killed them when they escaped back.
And in the current matter, will killing these three people quell the trouble? You know, the order to kill was actually given by Li Zicheng. You can't. Li Zicheng wants to kill himself, right?
In the lobby, after a moment of silence, Li Zicheng spoke again: "Now the only way to suppress the leaders is to make them believe that this is a counterintuitive plan of the imperial court!"
No matter how many people believe it, this is the only way to do it!
Song Xiance and others were silent after hearing this, and no one objected.
Li Zicheng didn't want them to raise any objections, so he immediately issued the order, suppressed it forcefully, and used counterintuitive tactics to explain that he had not killed the wrong person. He Baisui was actually surrendering to the court. However, the court was ruthless and used them again. to disintegrate the morale of the rebel army.
Naturally, there are people below to do these things.
In the lobby, Li Zicheng and Song Xiance were silent. Later, Niu Jinxing also rushed over and was silent after knowing the situation.
After a while, Li Zicheng suddenly sighed heavily and said: "I always thought that we had the strength to break up with the imperial court. But now it seems that we have thought too much. We can't stay in Shu. !”
When several other people heard this, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him.
They understood that the general was right. Regardless of whether the offensive of the imperial army is not fierce, everyone seems to be still in a stalemate, but once the offensive of the imperial army is really launched, they will definitely not be able to defend Chongqing.
People's hearts are broken, this team is really difficult to lead! Not to mention, there was this 100th anniversary event.
Song Xiance felt very guilty. If he hadn't come up with the strategy of taking advantage of the situation, the situation wouldn't have been so bad. Therefore, after listening to Li Zicheng's words, he thought for a moment and said to Li Zicheng: "General, now it seems that our only choice is to retreat to Yunnan and Guizhou!"
Compared with Shu, Yunnan and Guizhou are even more barren lands. Not only is the land barren, but there are also many chieftains among the barren mountains and rivers.
Given the choice, no one would want to go to a place like this.
But now, I have no choice but to go to a place like this!
After hearing this, Niu Jinxing nodded and said: "That's fine. The imperial court relies on the cavalry as its main force. Yunnan and Guizhou are not the place for the cavalry. Once there, we won't be so afraid of the main force of the imperial court!" If you have the ability, the imperial court and we will keep looking at it!"
Although he didn't want to leave the prosperous Shu land, under this situation, he had no choice.
After hearing this, Li Zicheng did not hesitate. He looked at Niu Jinxing and said, "Immediately collect all the grain and grass supplies in our territory and transport them to the south."
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Niu Jinxing immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order.
Li Zicheng then turned to look at Yuan Zongdi, but did not speak immediately. He seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying slowly: "Liu Zongmin reported that Duke Xingguo did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him, and even released five thousand people. I I'll give you 20,000 troops, go and replace Liu Zongmin and come back. Be careful, bluff, just maintain the current situation!"
He decided to transfer Liu Zongmin back, open a road southward into Yunnan and Guizhou, and create a new world. This matter is related to his retreat, it is of great importance, and it must be his first general.
Yuan Zongdi has fought against Tian Jianxiu for the longest time and is familiar with the situation. It is always possible to let him stabilize the current situation.
"General, what about me?" Upon hearing this, Gao Yigong said to Li Zicheng, "I'm sorry, General, let me do something too, otherwise I...I..."
After hearing this, Li Zicheng said coldly: "Since you have such thoughts, then guard the city gate for me. Whoever dares to cause trouble will be suppressed, okay?"
Gao Yigong is a veteran figure. Regardless of his prestige or seniority, he is enough to intimidate family members who dare to cause trouble. Moreover, he desperately attacked the imperial army and dedicated Gao Jie's head to Li Zicheng. There is absolutely nothing to say about his loyalty.
Therefore, Li Zicheng thought for a while and made such an arrangement.
"General, take your orders!" Upon hearing this, Gao Yigong immediately agreed without saying a word.
Later, he did not disappoint Li Zicheng, personally sitting at the city gate and even patrolling the entire city. After the martial law was lifted, the situation did not get worse.
After Yuan Zongdi arrived at the front line, he was indeed very attentive and maintained the stalemate.
As for Li Zicheng himself, he was stepping up his plans to escape south to Yunnan and Guizhou.
What everyone didn't expect was that all this broke down very quickly, and the situation changed so quickly that it really caught people off guard.
