After crossing over, he has no taboos among the zombies.

Chapter 538

Let’s go back to Emperor Shun Li Zicheng.

When Li Zicheng learned that 70 million taels of gold and silver had disappeared out of thin air, he was shocked. He hurried to check it out himself and even tortured more than a dozen soldiers guarding the silver warehouse.

The news we got was even more shocking.

The 70 million taels of gold and silver were lost when the return shipment was almost finished. The two batches of carriages carrying the silver arrived only a stick of incense apart.

In other words, it took less than a stick of incense for all 70 million taels of gold and silver to disappear.

It is beyond the reach of ordinary people to do so in such a short time.

Not to mention disappearing silently, even if you were given a ship and hundreds of people, it would take half a day to move this batch of gold and silver aboard.

The answer was so clear that it sent chills down Li Chuang's spine.

He fought in many battles for more than ten years until he became the leader of the rebel army. Although Li Zicheng was addicted to alcohol, he was not a mediocre person.

On the contrary, when he was awake, he was very alert, otherwise he would have died countless times in Shaanxi and Gansu.

His strong intuition told him that Song Xiance's reminder must not be ignored.

Otherwise, Liu Zongmin, Aqige and Aqina would be his own lessons.

He also tried to muster up his courage and encourage himself not to be afraid. He was lucky and the master of the world, and it would not be so easy for him to follow in the footsteps of the previous three.

But I couldn't stand Song Xiance's constant nagging beside me.

Li Jing is in danger!

Li Jing is in danger!

After talking about it so much, Li Chuang's anger subsided.

The three guys in front are all stronger than me.

There were also times when I dozed off in the middle of the night and as soon as I closed my eyes I dreamt that my head exploded and white and red sprayed all over the dragon throne.

The next day, Li Zicheng didn't dare drink anymore. For the first time in his life, he summoned a group of counselors and generals to attend a morning court session.

A group of civil and military officials, who had little experience in formal morning court training, chattered about a few trivial matters before Song Xiance emerged again, stating in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, the Nine Frontiers remain unresolved. The former generals are stubborn and unyielding, and they are a serious threat to our dynasty. I petition Your Majesty to lead the army in person and pacify the Nine Frontiers as soon as possible."

In one word, it finally touched Li Chuang's heart.

He personally led the army to pacify the nine frontiers.

Listen, this is much better than "returning to the capital".

They are all leaving the capital temporarily, so this name is legitimate.

And it's not just in name, to be precise, it should be killing two birds with one stone.

The unresolved issue of the nine frontiers accepting surrender was indeed a source of worry for Dashun.

Using fighting to promote talks and pacifying the nine borders as soon as possible is also a top priority.

Song Xiance had obviously prepared in advance. As soon as he spoke, half of his counselors agreed with him, not to mention the military generals. Who would refuse to fight?

So, in response to popular expectations, Li Zicheng "graciously approved" Song Xiance's proposal and decided to send troops north immediately.

As for the capital, he had also made arrangements and did not just leave.

The first is to leave 50,000 people to guard the capital.

The second was to order Li Yan to appease the people, respect their beliefs, and rebuild the burned Qingniu Immortal Temple.

Just like that, at noon, Li Chuang personally led 5,000 cavalrymen to the north, and the remaining 300,000 troops followed closely behind, with the target being Jizhou City.

……

At the same time, Bazhou.

The Shun army camp stretched out, surrounding Bazhou City like an iron barrel, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

A moment later, the Shun army retreated like a tide, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

There were smoke signals everywhere on the city walls. Many places had collapsed and were then rebuilt and repaired. It looked like it would collapse at any time.

However, it was this seemingly crumbling city wall that actually blocked the siege of the Shun army of 200,000 for more than a month.

More than a month ago, Li Chuang led the main force to bypass Bazhou and attack the capital directly. However, the siege army he left behind was still very strong.

Commander Hao Yaoqi was the Shun army's second most powerful general after Liu Zongmin, and his strength was around the third rank of external strength.

Deputy General Gao Yigong is also a fierce general, and his strength is also at the external strength level.

Li Chuang was blessed with good luck, and the strength of his generals became stronger and stronger, and they broke through to the external strength level one after another.

Although there are not as many external force masters as Shen Lian and his three companions, he has more people.

There are 200,000 soldiers in the army, and countless of them have strong internal strength. A large number of ants can easily kill an elephant.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about muskets and cannons. Even if you have peak internal strength, you can’t withstand a single musket or cannonball hit. What’s more, there is a terrifying thing like the thunder cannon, which anyone can operate.

Unlike the Di Lu who were good at using bows, the Shun army preferred to use firearms. Although their training was not very good, their large numbers were still scary.

No matter whether you use external or internal strength, without the protection of the city wall, you are likely to be beaten into a hornet's nest.

So Bazhou City was completely trapped.

On the city wall, the defenders raised their arms and shouted, it was another day of victory.

However, Shen Lian's gaze passed the camp outside the city and looked towards the farther north.

A day ago, Wei Yuanji sent intelligence to the capital that Liu Zongmin had burned down the Qingniu Great Immortal Temple.

When he heard the news, Shen Lian, although serious, laughed three times.

He waited for more than a month and finally heard the news he wanted.

As if to confirm Shen Lian's expectations, a white dove fluttered over from afar and landed on the top of the city wall.

Several soldiers hurried over and took out a letter and presented it to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian couldn't wait to open it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
