Why is this happening? Pi Hongxuan has not yet reacted, and the officers and soldiers of Xinyang City have not responded. Prince? What rights does the prince have to dismiss a prefect of Xinyang Prefecture?

However, what Li Yan was holding was clearly the letter from the Prince of the East Palace. Even Pi Hongxuan did not react for a moment: "What, what, why did the Prince dismiss me?"

Li Yan said coldly: "Now the invasion of the thieves, the prince is far-sighted. He has long expected you, a foolish dog official. I'll ask you, if the invaders come to attack, do you have a strategy to defend the enemy?"

Pi Hongxuan was stunned, "I, I..."

That's right, when Li Zicheng was at the city, he was afraid that before he could attack the city, Pi Hongxuan would have already lost his own situation. He would let Pi Hongxuan go to intrigue and deal with his own people. But when he dealt with the enemy, he became a fool. This is also the current situation of most officials in the Ming Dynasty. He has various internal means and is servile to the outside world.

Li Yan held Zhu Cixuan's letter and shouted loudly: "We are ordered by the prince to enter the city to set up defenses. Hongniangzi had resisted the treacherous army several times in Luoshan County and made countless military achievements! You don't want Xinyang City to be broken by treacherous thieves, and your wife, children, and young people become fish under the treacherous thieves' sword. Then follow Hongniangzi to defend the city! Open the city gate and let the people enter the city!"

Can the Ming army officers and soldiers in Xinyang City be convinced by Li Yan and the others who captured Pi Hongxuan as hostages, just by a letter from the prince in Li Yan?

No, the answer is yes. First of all, the prince does not have this authority, and no one has seen the content of the prince’s letters.

However, no one resisted. All the Ming soldiers chose to remain silent, which means that they decided to obey the orders of Hong Niangzi.

The reason is actually very simple. If Pi Hongxuan, a waste, guarding the city, is probably the Xinyang City. At that time, no officers and soldiers on the city wall will be spared, and the people in the city will suffer, and their wives, children, and their children will be killed by thieves.

It is different to let Hong Niang defend the city. Hong Niang used to defeat the weak and defeat the strong, and they defended Luoshan County. Leaving Xinyang City to Hong Niang defended them, they had a great chance of winning.

In other words, even Li Yan's words were fake, even this so-called letter to the prince was fake. But no one exposes it, which is beyond Pi Hongxuan's expectations.

Soon, Pi Hongxuan understood. He pointed at his subordinates and his own soldiers angrily: "You, you are so trashing, I am useless to treat you very well on weekdays... Oh..."

Pi Hongxuan was still talking about it again, and was slapped in the heart by Ling Susu's handle, and immediately covered her chest and bent down like a shrimp.

The Hongniang glanced at Pi Hongxuan: "Go down and take care of it!"

Pi Hongxuan was not willing to obey. He even shouted, but Ling Susu made several tricks of secret moves. Pi Hongxuan was so painful that he was sweating coldly. He knew that the hero would not suffer any loss in front of him, and shouting would only get beaten up.

It was more smooth than expected, Li Yan thought that at least Pi Hongxuan's followers would resist. Who knew that those who were enlightened would have helped more and those who were lost were helpless. How many dog ​​officials like Pi Hongxuan were truly loyal to him, and none of them were there.

Even Ling Susu took Pi Hongxuan down the city tower and saw it, a beggar suddenly threw away the begging job, and excitedly held the dog-beating stick and shouted: "Prince Pi was caught, Pi was caught!"

Pi Papi, and as soon as he heard the nickname, he knew what Pi Hongxuan was. Then, the people in Xinyang City rushed to spread the word. When Ling Susu held Pi Hongxuan, he immediately attracted the people's stones and rotten vegetables and leaves.

Hong Niangzi's men went down to open the city gate, and the refugees outside the city realized that Hong Niangzi had never abandoned them. Just now, it was just Hong Niangzi's plan.

The refugees flocked to the city. Instead of rushing to enter the city, they knelt outside the city and kowtowed to Hongniang.

Hong Niangzi and Li Yan looked at each other, and they looked at each other and smiled. But they felt that life was like this, so what else could they ask for? Born as a human being, standing between heaven and earth, and seeking welfare for the people of the world, is a great pleasure in life.

The greatest hero is to serve the country and the people!

As for Li Zicheng, he was extremely unlucky. Although Li Zicheng occupied Luoshan County, he was not afraid of an empty city. What was he going to do?

What’s so bad is that Li Yan, a bastard, made Li Zicheng move towards Luoshan County. Many people saw the wooden board inside the city gate. Li Yan wrote clearly on the wooden sign: The King of Break into the city, and the city should be burned...

With Li Zicheng's temper, he really wanted to razed Luoshan County to the ground. But now, he could only watch, because as long as he burned the city, he would fulfill Li Yan.

Luoshan County Government Office, Li Zicheng's base camp. Even the county government office has nothing to do with.

Li Zicheng was very angry. He kept walking back and forth in the yamen. At this time, Liu Zongmin walked over with a gloomy face: "King Chuang, we don't have much food anymore."

That's right, Li Zicheng looted all the way from Huguang. When he arrived in Luoshan County, he thought he would get supplementary supplies, but Hong Niang left him an empty city, where he would eat and drink whatever he wanted.

If you can't grab food, the hundreds of thousands of bandits under your command will just eat. If you can't feed them, they will cause trouble.

In fact, they started to cause trouble.

One of the men came down to report, and the men knelt on one knee: "It's not good that the King of Chuang is here, the people from Zuoying and the front camp have started fighting."

Li Zicheng's troops, who had been through the battlefield, established a military organization that was compatible with his tactics. When they occupied Huguang, the troops were divided into two parts, namely the main force responsible for field siege and the local force responsible for guarding. The main force was divided into the "five battalions" such as Zhongquan's personal army, left camp, right camp, front camp, and back camp.

Unexpectedly, the Zuoying, who was the main force, started fighting with the people from the front camp. This made Li Zicheng very angry. He kicked the stool over: "What's going on!"

The subordinates were trembling: "God, General Gao, General Gao, Hotan, and General Tian fought and fought for food."

Li Zicheng took a deep breath and looked at Liu Zongmin beside him. Liu Zongmin was also shocked. The two looked at each other, turned around and left the yamen together, and headed straight to the Zuoying defense ground.

Gao Yigong of Zuoying and Tian Jianxiu of Qianying were both powerful generals under Li Zicheng. They made countless achievements and were good at fighting. Unexpectedly, these two guys actually started fighting first.

Li Zicheng is known as an army of 400,000, but in fact, the elite soldiers brought out only more than 30,000 people. The rest are all included in the bandits. As for how many bandits there are, Li Zicheng himself doesn’t know. The preliminary budget is about which more than 300,000 people should be able to have them.

This is actually the case with these peasant armies. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army was in chaos back then, and I couldn't figure out how many soldiers there were under my jurisdiction. Anyway, it would be right to follow the large army to grab it.
