Niu Jinxing said this, the meaning is already very obvious.

That is, if you die, I will not die.

As long as we can protect Henan now and protect the 150,000 lonely troops in southern Henan, we can only harm our neighbors and sacrifice Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Kingdom to protect our territorial integrity.

After all, the critical situation in Henan is an urgent need. If you don’t hurry up and enter the aid, central Henan and even the entire Henan will definitely be completely trapped by the Tang army. Zhang Xianzhong’s Xichuan is still in a calm state. Even if there is danger in the future, it will only happen in the future. In any case, you must overcome the current crisis first.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng sighed.

Grandma, I really didn't expect that it would be so difficult to defend the inherent territory of Dashun Country. I had to demolish the east wall and repair the west wall. This life was really frustrating.

And now, what else can I do besides agreeing with Niu Jinxing’s approach?

The situation is stronger than others, so I have to stop doing it.

"Grandma, that's all. I hope Huang Hu can survive this for a while." Li Zicheng shook his head and shouted in a deep voice: "Transfer my order, and Liu Zongmin quickly led 150,000 Hanzhong troops to aid Henan. Be sure to drive the Tang army out of Henan completely, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes, my servant follows the order."

After Li Zicheng's imperial edict was quickly passed to Hanzhong for 800 miles, Liu Zongmin did not dare to neglect it. He immediately led 150,000 troops and hurriedly drove away and rushed to Henan to rescue Henan's dangerous situation.

The movement of troops in Dashun Country was quickly transmitted to Li Xiao, who was far away in Nanjing by personnel from the Tang Army Security Department.

When Li Xiao received the information, he immediately summoned Chen Zilong and Jiang Yueguang to come to the palace to discuss matters urgently.

When Chen Zilong and Jiang Yueguang entered the palace, Li Xiao briefly told the news that Li Zi became the one who saved Henan and transferred Liu Zongmin's 150,000 troops in Hanzhong to help Henan.

"You two like to praise the painting. It seems that Li Zicheng has to protect Henan at all costs. According to your opinion, how will our army deal with it? "

"Reported to the King of Tang, in the opinion of students, Li Ziruo transferred Liu Zongmin's 150,000 troops from Hanzhong to help Henan. Then they must have wanted Liu Zongmin's troops to attack the 150,000 troops from southern Henan. Our Tang army is located in the 6th Town, the Seventh Town, in the central part of Henan. This is an inevitable trend." Jiang Yueguang took the lead in speaking.

"Gu also thinks so. Li Zicheng's deployment of troops is probably because he wants to completely eliminate the troops of our army's sixth and seventh towns. After all, he has a total of 300,000 troops available. If he works together, it is afraid that our army will not be able to deal with it." Li Xiao looked solemn: "Then do you think our army will fight them head-on, or avoid their attack for the time being?"

Jiang Yueguang shook his head and said anxiously: "King Tang, in the humble opinion of students, it is really unnecessary to fight against the enemy with so many troops head-on and fight a protracted war of attrition. We can avoid the front line for a while and reopen the battlefield in other places. After all, the initiative on the battlefield is now in my opinion, and we can completely lead the Shunjun's nose."

"Oh, Yu Guang, what you call opening up other battlefields, but do you want our army to withdraw from Henan and attack Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Kingdom?" Li Xiao's eyes were burning.

"That's true." Jiang Yueguang replied in a deep voice: "The land of Henan is already ruined, and all cities, Chizhou and towns are basically abandoned and desolate. Such places are like chicken ribs and food. Even if they are temporarily abandoned, it is not a pity. What's more, our army has transported all the money, grain and weapons from each city in central Henan. The remaining more than 200,000 people have also been moved out. Most of them are sent to Nanzhili for resettlement, and a small number of them are sent overseas. Therefore, the central Henan is almost completely abandoned. Even if Liu Zongmin and others temporarily occupy such a place, what's wrong?"

He paused for a moment and continued, "Our army retreated from central Henan, which seemed to show that the enemy was weak, but in fact it was just to better attack the enemy in other places. And this place was naturally the Great Western Kingdom of Zhang Xianzhong. Now Li Zicheng has drawn 150,000 troops from Hanzhong and rushed to Henan to urgently aid. In the eyes of students, it is just a trick to dig meat and replenish the sores. After his troops were transferred, Zhang Xianzhong, who had weak troops in Xichuan, had no support anymore, and just allowed our army to attack with all its strength, in order to capture Xichuan in one fell swoop and destroy this store.

The Great Western Kingdom. Such a good opportunity must not be missed." Jiang Yueguang said, and Chen Zilong also interrupted: "What Jiang Zanhua said is very good. It is said that it will be lost in the east corner and the mulberry area. Since the land in Henan cannot be planned for the time being, taking the opportunity to march into Xichuan and attack Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Kingdom should be the best strategy for our army. After all, Zhang Xianzhong has no reinforcements now, and with his national strength alone, it is difficult to compete with our army. If our army can concentrate its forces and attack Xichuan, it will definitely be a great success and destroy the country in one fell swoop."

When Li Xiao heard this, he had made up his mind and said loudly: "Very good. The two of you who praised the paintings are very consistent with your own intentions. Since this is the case, he ordered the soldiers of the second town of Monk An in eastern Sichuan and the tenth town of Zeng Ying in southern Sichuan to attack Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Kingdom, and strive to capture Xichuan in one fell swoop and completely wipe out the bandits of Zhang's army!"

Next, Li Xiaofu and the two agreed in detail on their plans to march into Xichuan.

That is, the second town of monk Ling'an, set out from Chongqing, Zeng Ying's tenth town of soldiers and horses, set out from Xuzhou, and the two groups of soldiers and horses attacked Shunqing Prefecture, which was sandwiched between Chongqing and Xuzhou.

After taking down Shunqing Prefecture, the two towns attacked Hechuanzhou together and completed the siege of the outer periphery of Chengdu.

At the same time, the Tang army urgently transferred the troops from Mo Changrong's 11th Town into Sichuan, attacking Baoning Prefecture from Kuizhou Prefecture all the way west, completely cutting off the connection between Daxi Kingdom and Hanzhong, making Zhang Xianzhong's troops like turtles in a jar, all of which were hindered in Chengdu and nearby prefectures, and there was no possibility of escape.

After the plan was set, the Tang army immediately began to take action.

The troops of the Sixth Town and the Seventh Town immediately began to withdraw from central Henan and to Fengyang and Luzhou respectively. Before leaving, the troops of the two towns were still in each city, setting a fire, burning these deserted cities that were originally empty and became completely broken walls. The remaining arable land outside the city was also destroyed to ensure that Liu Zongmin could receive only a piece of ruins with all the people.

At the same time, the soldiers of the 11th and 13th towns withdrew from Nanyang Prefecture and Runing Prefecture in southern Henan, and all retreated to Wuchang. After arriving in Wuchang, the soldiers of the 13th town were left behind and continued to be stationed in Wuchang. The soldiers of the 11th towns were allowed to immediately go to eastern Sichuan as planned and attack Baoning Prefecture in north Sichuan.

The Tang army's movement of troops was greatly beyond the expectations of the monarchs and ministers of the Dashun Kingdom.

They originally thought that the Tang army, which had never been willing to retreat, would fight to the death with Liu Zongmin's reinforcements and the Shun army in southern Henan in order to protect the captured city of central Henan, and thus were eventually defeated by the Shun army with its superior strength and eventually defeated and fled.

They never expected that the Tang army would voluntarily give up the results they had obtained. Instead, after completely destroying these cities and towns, they voluntarily evacuated and returned to Nanzhili, causing Liu Zongmin's army to completely lose nothing.

What's even more hateful is that because the Tang army destroyed central Henan very thoroughly and transferred all the local people, Liu Zongmin's army came in a fierce manner and only obtained a barbaric land that was destroyed to the extreme. It was very difficult for the soldiers of the entire army to obtain supplies on the spot. Such a result was not as good as a waste.

Fortunately, Prime Minister Niu Jinxing thought in advance that Liu Zongmin's army would be very likely to be difficult to obtain supplies after it arrived in central Henan, so he sent a large amount of food and grass to Li Guo in northern Henan in advance. This allowed Liu Zongmin's 150,000 troops to settle in central Henan, and there was no tragedy of starving death in central Henan.

It is a pity that although Liu Zongmin's 150,000 troops occupied various towns in central Henan almost without any injury, they not only found supplies but also made it difficult to act again. Now they dare not continue to attack Nanzhili, which the Tang army is defending in the east, and are afraid that they will be attacked by the Tang army after withdrawing. They can only defend these deserted towns and pass the time in vain. From top to bottom, the soldiers of the army felt very aggrieved and helpless.

The situation of Dashun Kingdom will not be mentioned for the time being. Now, the news that the Tang army was in an uproar was already spread all over Xichuan like wings, causing the monarch and ministers of Dashun Kingdom who received the news to fall into great shock and panic.

In the court in Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong's face was gloomy and could almost drip water. The court officials below all shrank their heads and lowered their heads, silent as if they were chilling.

Zhang Xianzhong looked around everyone, and saw that they all shrank and refused to come out to offer suggestions, he couldn't help but feel angry. He slapped the armrest of the dragon chair heavily and shouted at the ministers below: "You bastards are all good at speaking on weekdays. Why did Tang Jun come to the door now, but they all took mute medicine and couldn't speak anymore?!"

After Zhang Xianzhong finished yelling loudly, there was still silence below.

The current situation in Daxi Kingdom is as dangerous as the Tang army is under heavy troops, and it is hard to resist. These civil and military officials do not have a good plan at such a critical moment, so although they were scolded by Zhang Xianzhong, they still shrank their heads and said nothing.

"Are you deaf or dumb? I'm asking you bastards what are your plans? Why don't you talk? Are you all the shit-eating cowards?!" Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Xianzhong became more and more angry, and his fists pounded his handrail.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's only adopted descendant Kewang finally sighed, walked out of the court, bowed to Zhang Xianzhong, and said in a deep voice: "Father, with the view of his son, the Tang army is now attacking with all their might. Besides, any strategy is useless. Only by fighting with all their might and fighting with him can we hope to survive in death, fight against the Tang army, and protect our great western country. Although the child is incompetent, I hope to fight on behalf of my father, fight against the Tang gangs and serve the country."

After Sun Kewang finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and looked respectfully pleaded for his reverent wish. Seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong's heart trembled, but for a moment, he didn't know how to reply.

Sun Kewang was right. It was extremely difficult to protect the Great Western Kingdom when the Tang army attacked together with the army and the army was defeated by a few major generals and had no foreign aid. In this situation, if you were unwilling to surrender, you could only fight to the death, in order to defeat the Tang army with the unity of your heart and courage, and force the Tang army to withdraw from Xichuan.

Zhang Xianzhong sighed softly and said, "I hope, what you said is very reasonable. Now the Tang army has sent heavy troops to attack the door, and our Daxi Kingdom has no way out. If we don't fight with him for life and death, we will have to worry about destroying the country! In your opinion, how should our army act next? "

"Reported to my father, according to the military information on the front line, the current situation of the Tang army's troops mobilization is that the Tang army in Xuzhou, the 10th town of the Tang army in Chongqing, and the 2nd town of the Tang army in Chongqing, jointly attacked our Shunqing Prefecture. The 11th town of the Tang army entered Sichuan from western Hubei and intended to attack our Baoning Prefecture. In the eyes of the boy, the Tang army would surely attack the two towns together after taking down Shunqing Prefecture. If there is any loss in the two places in Hechuan Prefecture and Baoning Prefecture, Chengdu will have a door open and there will be no danger to defend. It can only be huddled into Chengdu City, defending the city with the city to fight for consumption with the Tang army."

"Even if our army wants to fight with the Tang army to fight a tug-of-war, our army has lost the field mobility power, and the Tang army has the absolute advantage of artillery to assist, and will definitely attack Chengdu at all costs. In this case, our army can only be passively beaten in the city and has no ability to fight back. At this point, I am afraid that Sun Wu resurrected and Zhuge Resurrected will no longer be able to reverse the defeat." Sun Kewang said further, his brows became tighter and tighter.

Speaking of this, Sun Kewang caught a glimpse of Zhang Xianzhong's impatient expression. He knew that he only wanted to listen to the answers, rather than to listen to these meaningless analyses, and then said hurriedly: "Father, to look at it, if you want to protect Chengdu, you must first protect the portal. If you want to protect the portal, you must not lose both Hechuanzhou and Conservative Mansion. In the opinion of me, Shunqing Prefecture is far away from Chengdu and is sandwiched between two Tang troops. I am afraid that it is difficult to defend it, so it is inevitable to give up. Therefore, we need to send two large armies to Baoning Prefecture and Hechuan Prefecture respectively to ensure that these two places are not lost, so that we can be sure to defeat the Tang army and finally protect our great Western country. Therefore, the child is willing to unify these two troops and horses in person. The other one, please send another general to the commander to the expedition, and we can definitely..."
