Zhang Yi said: "Yes, the Manchu Emperor Taiji has already adopted a non-subordinate attitude towards the old and new monarchs of Sun Ge, and even said that what you support is a puppet, hum, wolf ambitions, at a glance, he is afraid that the new monarch of the Ming Dynasty will ascend the throne and re-recruit Wu Sangui and other generals, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty does not recognize the new monarch of the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely raise troops to come." [No pop-ups. It's just that I haven't had my hands free yet. ”

Sun Chuanting nodded: "Yes, when they entered the customs, they must have listened to the tricks of Hong Chengchou and others, and raised the banner of revenge for the first emperor in order to win the hearts of the people of the Central Plains." At this time, the Qing army was assembling in the direction of Luoyang, preparing for a decisive battle with the counterattack, which was a joy for my Ming Dynasty to watch the fire from the other side. ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Elder Sun Ge thinks that he can really watch the fire from the other side without causing a fire?" ”

Sun Chuanting said coldly: "Could it be that he still has the strength of the Qing army to attack Shanxi?" Zhang Yi said: "Naturally, there is no spare strength at the moment, but let's talk about who wins and who loses in this decisive battle." ”

Sun Chuanting glanced at him: "I heard that the thief Li Zicheng has sent Tian Jianxiu as an envoy to Xi'an to meet the King of Qin. And the Qin army and the Chuang army have always been good friends, and it is not impossible for your army to send troops to help. It's just that this time I want to remind the prime minister that the thieves have rebelled several times, and they are the most untrustworthy, and they will grovel when they lose, and once they gain power, their backhand is a return pistol. The Qin army has always attached great importance to righteousness, so we should be more wary of this person. ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Don't work for Sun Ge to remind you, my king knows it." It's just that the current situation is imminent, and it is impossible not to join forces with him. Imagine, if Li Zicheng is defeated, Henan will be owned by the Qing army. At that time, the Qing army mastered the Central Plains, and it could divide its troops into four attacks, the north could attack Shanxi, the east could enter Shandong, the south could attack Huguang, and the west could invade Guanzhong. At that time, it was impossible for several of us to join forces again. Because they are all blocked by Henan, they can't join forces. ”

Sun Chuanting heard this and laughed: "So Mr. wants to form a coalition of our forces in the Central Plains at this moment to resist the Qing army?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Yes, it is the Manchu Tartars that we Han people hate, and we should join forces to get rid of them." ”

Gao Jie on the side of the case took the case: "Cheng is different, the thief occupies my capital division, * kill my first emperor, at this time the new prince of the pavilion ascends the throne, how can there be a reason to join forces with the enemy when he ascends the throne?" ”

Zhang Huangyan also said: "Yes, in that case, how will the people of the world view our new monarch?" How do you comment on Sun Ge Lao? ”

Gu Tong looked at Sun Chuanting and did not speak.

Sun Chuanting stared at Zhang Yi without any expression: "What does the prime minister think?" ”

Zhang Yi stood up and came to Gao Jie's side first: "This must be General Gao Jie, who was known as the Mountain Harrier back then, but he was a fierce general in the army." ”

Gao Jie snorted: "That's the general who was confused, followed the thief and went down the evil road, and then met Sun Ge Lao, so he saw the sun and abandoned the darkness and turned to the light." Prime Minister Zhang Cheng revealed the shortcomings of the general, which was a mistake, regardless of the hero's background. ”

Zhang Yi said: "I'm not revealing the general's shortcomings, I just want to ask the general, in your opinion, can Li Zicheng defeat the Qing army and Wu Sangui?" ”

Gao Jie frowned: "This...... Although Li Zicheng has a lot of men and horses, and there are also elite soldiers, but the Guanning Iron Cavalry led by Wu Sangui is the world's fierce soldiers, and the Eight Banners of the Qing Army are extremely brave and well-trained, which is not comparable to the thieves. After losing in a stone and retreating to Luoyang, he couldn't win. ”

Zhang Yi nodded: "The general thinks that the Dashun army will be defeated, okay, then the general thinks that after the Qing army defeats Li Zicheng, who will he deal with next?" ”

Gao Jie sneered: "This is the mind of that group of clear dogs, how do I know!" ”

Zhang Yi said: "The general doesn't know, then I'll tell you that as long as the Qing army defeats the Dashun army, the next one will inevitably turn around and attack Shanxi." ”

Gao Jie said: "How can you see it? ”

Zhang Yi glanced at Sun Chuanting: "Since the Qing army started outside the Guan, it has always been steady and steady, step by step, why?" That's because they were afraid of being attacked in their rear. A few years ago, when Yuan Chonghuan was supervising, there was a Ming Dynasty guard general on Liaodong Phi Island, named Mao Wenlong, who used hundreds of men and horses to disturb Jinzhou and other places from time to time, making the Qing army anxious. If it weren't for Yuan Chonghuan's self-destruction of the Great Wall and the killing of Mao Wenlong, it would have been impossible for the Qing army to attack Jinzhou and Ningyuan peacefully. The Qing army had already suffered this big loss, so it had been paying attention to the safety of the rear since then. At this time, once they defeat Li Zicheng in Luoyang, they will definitely not be in a hurry to go south, because at this time, Zhili and the capital have become their rear, and there are more than 100,000 male soldiers of Sun Ge Lao in Shanxi, do they dare to go south? If you go south, you suddenly send troops, attack Zhili, and recover the capital, then the Qing army's men and horses in Henan will not have no way to retreat? Therefore, after defeating Li Zicheng, the Qing army would certainly attack Fan Ju in Shanxi or Shandong. As far as the threat to the Qing army is concerned, your threat is obviously much greater than that of Fan Ju. Therefore, the Qing army will attack you first. Kill your newly established majesty, and never suffer again. The general thought, isn't that the truth? ”

Gao Jie sneered: "So what! If the Tartars want to come in, let them come, our officers and soldiers are not the rabble of thieves. ”

Zhang Yi said: "In this way, the general thinks that with the strength of your family, it is enough to defeat the Qing army and Wu Sangui. ”

Zhang Huang said: "What Mr. means is that if we don't join forces with Li Zicheng, we will die and Li Zicheng will fail, and we won't be able to keep it." ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Where?" Sun Ge Lao is a good talent in the world, and there are such ministers and generals under him, and he has just set up the banner of supporting the king, and the people's hearts are wanting, how can he be invincible? If the Qing army dared to attack Shanxi, it must be beyond its own strength and sink into the sand. ”

After speaking, he smiled at Sun Chuanting and returned to his seat.

At this time, Gu Tong said: "Prime Minister Zhang, Li Zicheng's family, may not be able to defeat the Qing army, but at this time, with the help of your army, it shouldn't be a problem." ”

Zhang Yi shook her head: "No, no, no." Not at all sure. Our Qin army has controlled Guanzhong, Hanzhong and Henan, the troops are already stretched, and there are very few people and horses that can be transferred, how much effect can it play when they join the Luoyang battlefield? Although Li Zicheng said that as long as the Qing army was defeated and the two sides crossed the Yellow River, the Qing army could be driven out of Shanhaiguan all the way. After the deed is completed, our Qin army can get the entire Zhili, including the city of Beijing. That's a big reward. But Qin Jun may not be able to get this heavy reward. ”

As soon as he heard this, Sun Chuanting's eyes lit up.

As the commander of the whole army, of course he knew the consequences of this matter, if the Qing army won, there would be two results, one result was that the Qing army continued to fight the peasant army until Li Zicheng was killed, and the other result was to turn around and attack himself as Zhang Yi said.

If there was no Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui on the Qing army's side, Sun Chuanting could be sure that Dolgon would definitely take Li Zicheng first, and he would keep chasing until he cut off Li Zicheng's head, but at this time, Hong and Wu would definitely go to Dolgon and take off Zhu Cican's head first.

Because Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui are very aware of the psychology of the Han people in the Central Plains, although the Ming Dynasty is dead, there are many people who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and almost all the Han people are against the Qing army.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting knew very well in his heart that he would meet the Qing saber soldiers sooner or later.

Relying only on his own family, there are only 100,000 people, and without foreign aid, it is difficult to fight against the enemy Dolgon and Wu Sangui. At this time, it was a good time, and with the help of Li Zicheng's strength, it was entirely possible to drive the Qing army back to Liaodong.

But since you want to send troops, you must have conditions, and the conditions that Li Zicheng promised to the Qin army at this time are too generous, what benefits can you give to your side? It's impossible to give Henan to yourself. So he smiled gently: "The prime minister has a word that is extremely true, the Manchu Tartars are the public enemies of our Han people, and they should join forces to get rid of them, once the Qing army occupies Henan, everyone will have no peace." But I don't hide it from the prime minister, even if the court agrees to send troops to help, my majesty is afraid that he will not agree. ”

Zhang Yi said: "This point needs to be explained to your majesty by the elder pavilion." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "It's easy to explain, but the sergeants under my command are mostly locals, so let them leave their hometowns and go to Henan to fight, but I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Then what does the elder have to do before he can become a teacher?" ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Your army goes out, as long as it wins, you can get the entire Zhili, what is the benefit of our official army sending troops?" Zhang Yi thought for a while and slapped her face: "How about this?" If your army sends troops to attack the Qing army, after the victory, our Qin army gets Zhili and is willing to give Beijing City and all the places north to your army, what will the old man think? ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were surprised.

Sun Chuanting remained silent: "What does Prime Minister Zhang mean is that as long as the Qing army is driven away, it is convenient for us to use Beijing as the boundary and divide the direct subordinates equally?" Zhang Yi nodded: "Exactly." Sun Chuanting said: "Beijing City also gives us?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "Not bad. Your Majesty should have returned to Beijing a long time ago to take the throne, what do you think, what are these conditions? ”

Sun Chuanting slapped the table: "Okay, a word is a decision." You and me, how about signing and drawing? ”

What he said can be regarded as leaving a piece of evidence for himself, with his and Zhang Yi's identities, he must not speak and count.

Zhang Yi did not hesitate: "That's exactly how it should be." Grab a pen. ”

A Chinese army brought paper and pen, and Sun Chuanting waved his hand: "Take down the paper and change the silk book." ”
