Zhang Xianzhong read books when he was young, worked as a border soldier, understood the thoughts of these officials and generals, and was good at guessing from himself and there, and actually understood Xiong Wencan from Xu Yixian's words.

However, after all, after all, after Xu Yixian left, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly couldn't help but think: "In case of loss, wouldn't it be in vain to give Xu Yixian the life of this dog?"

This dog thing, although it is not very authentic, but as he himself said, he is quite loyal to our Lao Zhang, and he has also come up with a lot of good ideas and done a lot of work.

What's more, Zuo Liangyu, the old dog, is surrounded to death, if you want to rush out, you must go through a life-and-death rush, even if you go out, you have to grow stronger, alas, it is difficult.

Hmph, no matter how difficult it is, our Lao Zhang has to fight to the end, and if we don't believe it, we won't be able to be princes and generals. ”

Just thinking about it, the Chinese army came to report: "Qi Yu Chuang Wang, Zuo Liangyu's department suddenly retreated fifty miles. ”

Zhang Xianzhong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Xu Yixian, this dog thing has succeeded, go and prepare to meet him." ”

Xu Yixian knew that Zhang Xianzhong's mouth was cold and hot, lest he be worried, although Xiong Wencan's attitude towards him was revealed, he was still busy saying goodbye, and he didn't dare to delay a little after coming out, so he turned around directly, and didn't even return home, so he came to Zhang Xianzhong's residence.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Zhang Xianzhong shouting, and hurriedly answered: "I'm back, I don't need to pick up." ”

Zhang Xianzhong was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "You still know how to come back as a dog?" ”

It's really strange, when Zhang Xianzhong first started calling him a dog, Xu Yixian's heart was as disgusting as eating a fly. Over time, after not hearing him shout for a long time, Xu Yixian actually felt uncomfortable.

The fact is that when Xu Yixian heard this, he was inexplicably moved, and said sincerely: "Look, King Chuang is thinking about us, what does this mean, this shows that we still have some weight in King Chuang's heart." ”

Zhang Xianzhong deliberately sneered: "Don't be stinky and beautiful, our old Zhang is looking forward to your coming back not because you have weight in our old Zhang's heart, but because I am afraid that your dog will damage our old Zhang's big thing, let's talk about it." ”

Xu Yixian didn't dare to frolic anymore, straightened his face, spoke one by one, and said: "Now we can rest with peace of mind." ”

Zhang Xianzhong answered: "Everyone rest, you can't." ”

Xu Yixian looked at him strangely.

Zhang Xianzhong said: "From now on, you tell everyone about the "Art of War" that you often talk about, and you must teach everyone, if you can't teach it, don't eat your dog." ”

This suggestion was made to him by Xu Yixian, but he changed it from not being able to learn to not being able to teach. Xu Yixian knew that he was deliberately funny, and pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Where can I find such an unreasonable person as King Chuang?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "This is only the first step, when the imperial court approves our military salaries, you have to use these military salaries for me to recruit troops, build weapons, train soldiers, and get an iron army for our old Zhang." ”

Xu Yixian responded, but suddenly remembered something, and said: "Since we have recruited surrender, even if it is an officer and soldier, those big officials and small officials will definitely come to fight the autumn wind, and the king must be mentally prepared." ”

Zhang Xianzhong smiled evilly and said: "As long as they dare to fight, let them come, but they have to remember it for them, and when the time comes, our family will let it be revealed to the world."

Also, we can't let them know about our affairs, not only can't let them know, but also let them say all the good things for us. ”

Xu Yixian gave Zhang Xianzhong a thumbs up and went to do it with a smile.

Seeing Xu Yixian leave, Xiong Wencan was dizzy for a long time, and finally calmed down, but he couldn't help but think again: "Looking at Xu Yixian's unconcealed joy, their surrender must be true, this is a great achievement."

What is Dagong? Great merit is not self-recognized, it must be recognized by the boss. Our boss Yang Sichang will definitely not admit this credit. So, let's report it straight to the emperor. What is the emperor's attitude? ”

Thinking about it, Xiong Wencan was eager to know, and unconsciously stood up and paced quickly.

At this time, Chongzhen had just finished reading his recital, was overjoyed, and said, "Come on, hurry up and invite Yang Sichang to come in." ”

After the imperial debate, Yang Sichang got rid of impeachment, but due to the opposition of the ministers, Chongzhen did not dare to accept Yang Sichang's suggestion and clearly supported the peace talks.

Yang Sichang had no choice but to let Fang Yizao and Gao Qiqian try their best to delay, and he tried his best to supervise the implementation of the clean-up strategy.

Because of Chongzhen's favor and trust in him, the governors of various places did not dare to slack off, and launched actions in accordance with the policy, and the good news was frequent.

Therefore, Yang Sichang said confidently: "If you can persevere, it won't take more than three months, and the end should be over." ”

When everyone heard this, they were about to speak, and the personal slave hurriedly came in and said: "There is news from the palace that the emperor wants the master to enter the palace immediately." ”

"After the debate in front of the emperor, the emperor suddenly fell silent, even if the good news of the suppression of bandits in various places failed to make him speak, why did he summon us?

Could it be that the matter of peace with the Qing Dynasty has been decided? No, we tried a few times, but nothing came out. ”

Thinking secretly, Yang Sichang didn't dare to slack off, and went straight into the palace.

Chongzhen was thinking: "Because of my protection, although there are fewer people who impeach Yang Sichang, but after this period of observation, the courtiers' resentment and anger towards him have not decreased in the slightest.

It is also considered lucky that he chose Xiong Wencan, and he actually made this great achievement. In this way, his prestige will be raised. ”

Just thinking about it, when he saw him coming, he didn't have time to salute, so he handed Xiong Wencan's recital to him, and said: "The Xiong Wencan you chose is good, you have made meritorious contributions, and you have admitted your recklessness before." ”

"Looking at the emperor's face, it is clearly a lot of praise, this Xiong Wencan, if there is good news, he didn't tell us the recommender first, it really doesn't make sense." Secretly complaining, busy looking down.

After seeing it, he was furious in his heart: "This Xiong Wencan is so eager for quick success, the vertical son will mistake me!" ”

Chongzhen didn't know what he was thinking, and said strangely: "Xiong Wencan is the person recommended by Aiqing, and now he has made this great achievement, why doesn't Aiqing like it?" ”

Yang Sichang said helplessly: "The minister can't forget the lesson of his father, and the minister doesn't dare to agree with the surrender." ”

Chongzhen said: "Your father Yang He was indeed at fault back then, but this time is not that time, the Liukou did not suffer much blows back then, and he did not know the power of the imperial court, and now because of the effective implementation of Aiqing's strategy, the Liukou has been cornered, and it is possible to surrender willingly."

If they really surrendered, the imperial court could also save some money, which was just used to settle the country, and at the same time allowed them to confront the Manchus, which was a great thing that would benefit and do no harm. ”

Yang Sichang said: "If that's the case, it is indeed beneficial and harmless, the problem is that deception is their usual method, and the imperial court has used such a large amount of manpower, financial and material resources, but they can no longer be deceived by them."

If the emperor has to agree with Xiong Wencan's suggestion, the minister advocates that Liu, Zhang and others can only be trusted if they kill thieves for their own effect. ”

Chongzhen said: "Aiqing is too worried, Xiong Wencan has already thought of it, saying that Liu Guoneng has already participated in the killing of thieves, and Zhang Xianzhong is also sincere, saying that once I agree, I will recruit other rogues to surrender." Since then, the situation in Huguang and Henan has also been stable. ”

As he spoke, seeing that Yang Sichang wanted to say more, he said: "Aiqing doesn't need to say anything, I have decided this matter, and it is also a kind of protection for Aiqing." ”

Yang Sichang knew his intentions, but he still felt inappropriate in his heart, and he was inevitably depressed.
