Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 194 Chapter 194, Zhang Xianzhong controls Hubei, builds high walls to drive away tigers and wolves
Wuchang.

Xiao Se Qiufeng is here again today, changing the world.

Zhang Xianzhong likes to stand on the city wall and look out into the distance, which makes him feel like he has the whole world under his control.

Zhang Xianzhong defeated Zuo Liangyu not out of strength, but out of calculation.

To put it simply, the whole process was that Zhang Xianzhong suddenly negotiated a peace, and sent an envoy to Zuo Liangyu to express the truce and divide the sphere of influence.

After the armistice, Zhang Xianzhong wanted to go west to fight Sichuan, and Zuo Liangyu could go east to fight Jiangnan, so there was no conflict.

From the beginning of this war, Zuo Liangyu was forced to deal with Zhang Xianzhong's attack. What Zuo Liangyu wanted to do more was to attack Jiangnan or go north to the Central Plains, so after hearing the news, Zuo Liangyu was naturally very happy and brought people Come to discuss peace with Zhang Xianzhong.

Who would have imagined that Zhang Xianzhong pretended to negotiate a peace on the surface to make Zuo Liangyu numb, but secretly sent Li Dingguo and a surprise soldier to cut off Zuo Liangyu's food road.

When Zuo Liangyu knew the news, he was dumbfounded. When he was in a dilemma, Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers came to him, and together with Li Dingguo, he attacked Zuo Liangyu back and forth, and killed Zuo Liangyu to the brim. If he escaped and returned to Jiujiang, he was considered Zuo Liangyu. Smoke was rising from Yuzu's tomb.

Zhang Xianzhong took advantage of the victory and pursued, and took the Wuchang City very smoothly.

Li Dingguo walked up with a thud, and reported to Zhang Xianzhong happily: "Father, we have completely controlled the entire Huangzhou Mansion, and all the mansions in the north of Huguang are already under the rule of Daxi!"

Li Dingguo had reason to be happy, because this was the first time that Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi regime had controlled such a huge and vast territory in so many years since the army was launched.

After all, basically the entire territory of Hubei was brought under the command of the Onishi regime in later generations. It was like a beggar who begged every day and fell into the treasury overnight. It was so cool.

Zhang Xianzhong nodded, with a smile on his face: "Very good. Where is that old guy Zuo Liangyu?"

Li Dingguo chuckled, and said: "The old man is currently retreating to Jiujiang and is recruiting troops. Father, as long as you give me a soldier, I will go down the river and kill that old dog Zuo Liangyu!"

Li Dingguo looked down on Zuo Liangyu from the bottom of his heart.

If you rebel, you rebelled just like my father and king, eating the court's food and smashing the court's pot, what kind of a hero?
Not to mention that Zuo Liangyu was fooled around by Zhang Xianzhong on the battlefield, which made Li Dingguo look down on this person even more.

Zhang Xianzhong turned his head to look at Li Dingguo, a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face.

After a while, Zhang Xianzhong said, "No, this is the end of our war with Zuo Liangyu."

Li Dingguo was stunned: "What, father, you..."

Zhang Xianzhong directly interrupted Li Dingguo's words: "You must be very surprised why this king made such a decision, right?"

Li Dingguo nodded repeatedly, with a puzzled look on his face.

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said, "Do you know the nine-character policy of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, during the uprising?"

Li Dingguo blurted out: "Build the wall high, accumulate grain widely, and slowly become king!"

Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said: "That's right. There are many problems within the court now, including me, Li Zicheng, and Zuo Liangyu. From the perspective of the Ming court, they must attack the one who is most popular. , so the imperial court has been at war with Li Zicheng this year.

If this king destroys Zuo Liangyu, then Huguang and Jiangxi will all be under the control of this king, Jiangnan can be subdued by this king at any time, and Jiangnan... is the last foundation of Ming Dynasty now!In that case, the imperial court will definitely focus on this king regardless of everything. You say, is this a good thing? "

Li Dingguo was silent for a moment, his eyes shone with light, and said: "But if we can destroy Zuo Liangyu and conquer Jiangnan in one fell swoop, wouldn't that mean we have all the bases of Zhu Yuanzhang back then? It is time to reproduce the glory of Zhu Yuanzhang's creation of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Xianzhong laughed out loud.

After a while, Zhang Xianzhong patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder: "Stupid boy, before the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang had already managed the southern base area for 14 years! But what about this king? It's been less than a month since I conquered Wuchang, and even The hearts of the people in this city have not been conquered, let alone the entire Jiangnan. Under such circumstances, if I continue to expand rashly, it will really be a dead end!"

Li Dingguo's enthusiasm seemed to be extinguished by the cold water in an instant, and he said after a while: "So... the father means to run Huguang first?"

Zhang Xianzhong nodded slowly: "Yes, today's Huguang is already a grain production area with a certain status in Ming Dynasty. This king intends to manage this place well and gather people's hearts. During this period, I don't intend to continue to launch There is a new war, let Li Zicheng, Zuo Liangyu and the like and the imperial court fight it slowly."

Li Dingguo said: "But what if the imperial court takes the initiative to attack us?"

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said: "The imperial court took the initiative to go south? No, it is impossible. You have to know that there are still Jiannu in Liaodong, and the capital is right under Jiannu's nose. How dare the imperial court send a large army south? If this king expected If it is not bad, it should be the limit of the imperial court to send [-] to [-] soldiers and horses back to defend Jiangnan.

Oh, by the way, aren't you wondering why this king spared Zuo Liangyu's life?Because Zuo Liangyu, an old dog, has nowhere to go now, he will definitely find a way to occupy Jiangnan as his new base, then the court will definitely find a way to destroy Zuo Liangyu.Later, you send an envoy to tell Zuo Liangyu that as long as he is still fighting against Jiangnan, this king will never attack him from behind, and you can even consider supporting him with a batch of food and warships! "

When Li Dingguo heard this, he finally understood what Zhang Xianzhong was thinking.

Today's Zhang Xianzhong occupies Hubei, to his north is Li Zicheng who occupies Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan, and to the east is Zuo Liangyu who is eyeing Jiangnan. No matter which of these two people is more threatening to the Ming court than Zhang Xianzhong exist.

What is low-key development?This is low-key development!

Li Dingguo looked at Zhang Xianzhong with incomparable admiration, and said: "Father is indeed far-sighted, I admire you!"

Zhang Xianzhong laughed loudly, and grabbed Li Dingguo's shoulder affectionately: "Son, sooner or later this country in Daxi will be yours. You can't just know how to conquer the world immediately, but also know how to get off the horse to rule the world like the Ming Chengzu Zhu Di back then. Now, go down to the lower counties and counties, take a look at the people's livelihood, kill a few corrupt officials, cultivate your prestige among the people, and win the hearts of the people in Huguang for this king!"

Li Dingguo said loudly: "My child obeys the order!"
