Chapter 6 Li Zicheng's vacillation

"Big brother, it's not Fang Liang's fault! I can only blame the Ming army on the other side for being too strong!" Before Li Zicheng could speak, Liu Zongmin was the first to stand up and explain for him.

"Yes, big brother, don't blame Brother Fangliang!" With Liu Zongmin's request for mercy, Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi, and others begged for mercy.

Looking at Liu Fangliang who was kneeling on the ground, Li Zicheng didn't want to punish him, but the intercession of Liu Zongmin and other old brothers made him unable to start.

"Get up!" Li Zicheng personally helped Liu Fangliang up and untied the thorns on his body, patted his back, "Go down and rest!"

Liu Fangliang was stunned after hearing this, he didn't expect this Li Zicheng to let himself go so personally.

"Go down, go down!" Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong and others hurriedly gave him a look, for fear that Li Zicheng would regret it.

Li Zicheng was in a bad mood and drank alone, and everyone quickly retreated, and only Li Yan and Niu Jinxing were left in the whole big tent.

Li Yan and Niu Jinxing looked at each other, as if they were communicating something. After a long time, Niu Jinxing finally spoke.

"Is King Chuang still worried about today's defeat?"

Li Zicheng skimmed Niu Jinxing, he didn't answer, but picked up the wine jar and drank a few sips, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Ningwu lost 30,000 horses in the first battle, and I don't know how many passes there are in the Beijing Division, if it is like this, there are still a few people in our army who can reach the Beijing Division." ”

When Li Yan and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this from Li Zicheng's mouth.

"King Chuang, is it?" Li Yan hurriedly asked.

"I am cloth, from the grass, the brothers and I just can't live to fight to the death, now my Dashun has occupied the west, and I have never thought of really going to destroy the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty still has loyal people!" In Li Zicheng's heart, he didn't really have much idea, and the uprising was just because he couldn't survive.

Everything went too smoothly from Shangluo's army to the invasion of Xi'an, which made Li Zicheng have the ambition to spy on the artifact, but this battle of Ningwu not only caused him to lose many men and horses, but more importantly, it dispelled his determination to destroy the Ming Dynasty quickly.

"I want to send Shu Chongzhen to cede the western part of the Ming Dynasty and make me the king, what do you think about the two Aiqing?" Li Zicheng finally said the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time. In his opinion, instead of throwing his head and spilling blood to chase the world, it is better to take advantage of this great opportunity to enjoy the wealth in his hands.

"You can't break into the king!" As soon as Li Zicheng's words fell, Li Yan hurriedly went out of class to object.

"The minister thinks that what Lord Li said is very true, and he must not negotiate peace with Daming!" Although Niu Jinxing looks down on this Li Yan on weekdays, he also agrees with Li Yan's opinion at this critical time.

For these literati, there is an essential difference between a corner of peace and the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, and the siege of Xi'an can only be regarded as half of the success, and the victory of Beijing is the completion of merit. Who is not willing to be a founding father, and the two of them defected to Li Zicheng for this hope.

"Of course, I understand that it is better to capture Beijing, but there are still Xuanfu and Datong and many official towns here, if they are all like this Ningwu Pass, I will have to kill as many brothers as possible! Besides, these old brothers want to end the battle as soon as possible, and I do this according to their wishes!"

"King Chuang, the Ming Dynasty is already in danger now! The feudal towns in various places have long lost confidence in the Ming court, and once Sun Chuanting dies, the Ming Dynasty has no troops to help! This is a good opportunity for me to change the dynasty in Dashun!" Li Yan hurriedly persuaded again.

"Don't say it, I have decided to withdraw from the army immediately tomorrow!" Li Zicheng made up his mind.

Li Yan wanted to say more, but Niu Jinxing next to him hurriedly grabbed Li Yan and shook his head at him.

"Alas!" Li Yan shook his head, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

"King Chuang, good news, good news!" Just as Li Yan and Niu Jinxing were sad, a small colonel ran in happily holding a secret letter.

"Bastard, such a rude in front of King Chuang!" Niu Jinxing scolded Xiao Xiao loudly while taking the secret letter in Xiao Xiaoxiao's hand and browsing it.

"King Chuang, the good news is indeed good news!" Niu Jinxing, who had read the secret letter, couldn't hold back, laughed loudly, and hurriedly handed the secret letter to Li Yan.

Li Yan hurriedly received the letter and glanced at it, and immediately a smile crawled all over his face: "King Chuang, God help me Dashun!

"Hurry up and say something happy!" Li Zicheng didn't understand Wenmo and asked anxiously.

"King Chuang, aren't you worried about the soldiers of Datong and Xuanfu? This is the surrender of Jiang Jian, the chief soldier of Datong, and Wang Chengyin, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and the two of them expressed their willingness to submit to my Dashun, and specially presented two cities to show their obedience!"

"What? Is this true?" The excited Li Zicheng snatched the secret letter from Li Yan's hand, and he didn't care if he could read it or not.

"It's true, it's true! Congratulations to King Chuang, congratulations to King Chuang, this time the door of Daming has been opened, and my Dashun generals are coming to the city!" Niu Jinxing also congratulated loudly.

"Okay! Okay!" Li Zicheng said a few good things in a row, for Li Zicheng, he didn't want to capture the Beijing Division, the reason why he withdrew his troops before was because he felt unprepared, and now that God has given such a big gift, how can he Li Zicheng not be happy.

"Big brother, big brother, Ning Wu Shou General Xiong Tong sent someone to ask for surrender, thinking that our army should respond!" Just as Li Zicheng was happy, Liu Zongmin also ran in and shouted loudly.

"What?" Li Zicheng didn't expect that this happy event would either not come, or it would come one after another.

The joy of Ningwu's surrender is more important than the meaning of the joy of the surrender of Datong and the Xuanfu general army.

The Dashun army lost troops in Ningwu but did not capture Ningwu Pass, and now that there is an internal response, this Ningwu can be said to be at your fingertips, which hinders the last door for Dashun to enter Beijing is also wide open.

"Immediately send an order, the whole army will enter Ningwu Pass tonight!" Li Zicheng didn't want to have a long night and dreams, so he directly ordered to take advantage of the night to seize Ningwu Pass.

"Kill, kill!" With the cooperation of Neiying Xiongtong, the Dashun army drove into Ningwu Pass almost without encountering any resistance, and Zhou Yuji, the general soldier of Ningwu who had just reacted, also organized the defenders to start street fighting, but unfortunately they were outnumbered and captured by Dashunsheng.

Zhou Yuji's wife, Liu, led dozens of female soldiers to refuse to defend the General Soldier's Mansion, climbed on the roof, and kept firing arrows at the Dashun army, and was also burned alive by the Dashun army.

"Zhou Yuji, are you willing to surrender?" After being captured, Zhou Yuji was escorted in front of Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng, who cherished his talents, still couldn't help but persuade him to surrender.

"Phew, thief, I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood, how can my dignified courtiers descend to you!" Zhou Yuji, who was captured, scolded bitterly.

"Take it down!" Li Zicheng waved his hand, for such a person, Li Zicheng knew that there was no need to say much.
