Zhang Yi said: "King, they can't send troops, it has nothing to do with our Qin army, anyway, this is a favor to help Li Zicheng, when the time comes, the Qing army will be repulsed, and our Qin army will get Zhili, as for the benefits of others, the Qin army will not pay the bill." [Full text reading. Everything is financed by Da Shun Guo. ”

Li Yan said: "In this way, wouldn't Li Zicheng have to lose his blood?" He only has Henan at the moment, and he has not yet occupied all of them, so what can he do to deal with those people? ”

King Qin said: "That's Li Zicheng's business, the Qing army and Wu Sangui join forces, it's too difficult to deal with, just my Qin army goes to join forces with Li Zicheng, and there is no guarantee of victory." Therefore, it is necessary to ask several other families to send troops. This point can be made clear to Tian Jianxiu and asked him to reply to Li Zicheng. What Lone was worried about was how to deal with the future once the Qing army was repulsed. ”

Zhang Yi said: "King, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. The situation in the world is changing rapidly, how can you predict it? Whatever the consequences, unite those families first and form a coalition. ”

King Qin pondered: "Mr. Gu feels that although Li Zicheng will give his direct command to my Qin army, although it is quite generous, it is not completely good for my Qin army. ”

Bai Qi said: "Exactly, Zhili and my Guanzhong do not border, even if we get Zhili Province, our army is not enough to control the two provinces, so the people and horses in Zhili have become lone troops." At that time, there was the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the north, Fan Ju in the east, Sun Chuanting in the west, Li Zicheng in the south, and Zhili was almost unsafe to defend, and militarily, it was simply a Jedi. ”

Li Yan said: "The words are good, but if you don't want to, wouldn't you help others in vain?" If we don't want it, Li Zicheng won't be polite, he occupies most of Henan, which happens to border Zhili. ”

King Qin looked at Zhang Yi: "What does the prime minister mean?" ”

Zhang Yi didn't think about it: "Zhili is fertile for thousands of miles, there are few natural disasters, and Beijing is the land of Longxing, since Li Zicheng wants to give it, we must ask for it." I mean, when you come, you can write a story. ”

King Qin said: "Does Mr. want to exchange Zhili for other land?" ”

Zhang Yi laughed. It seems that King Qin also knew what he had done in his previous life. At that time, when Zhang Yi was the prime minister of the Qin State, he used a few less important places in exchange for the land of Shangjun and Shaoliang, which were very important strategic places for the Qin State.

King Qin thought well, Zhang Yi smiled and said: "The king really guessed that Zhili is a Jedi for us, but for Sun Chuanting and Fan Ju, it is a good place." With this bargaining chip, there is no worry that the Qin army has no chess to play. ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads, and King Qin immediately decided: "The prime minister can go to lobby the world, and all matters will be handled by you on the spot, and there is no need to report it." ”

Zhang Yi thanked him and said, "In this way, this battle will be dominated by our Qin army." When the time comes, I will definitely fight for a commander to come back. ”

Bai Qi said with a smile: "It's not necessary to fight for the boss or not." ”

Zhang Yi made a straight face: "Since Li Zicheng has asked my Qin army, he must take our army as the mainstay, and the general is the commander, so he can be sure to win this battle." If it is a different coach, hum, it's not that I underestimate them, it may not be Wu Sangui and Dolgon's opponents. ”

King Qin said: "Yes, the general is the commander-in-chief, so my Qin army can be at ease, otherwise others will treat my Qin army as a gunman and cannon fodder." ”

Bai Qi arched his hand and said: "The king is right, if the last general becomes the commander, he will definitely protect my Qin army." ”

After the discussion, Zhang Yi began to prepare for the trip.

The next day, the king of Qin summoned Tian Jianxiu and told him what had been discussed yesterday, to the effect that the Qin army and the Dashun army have always been life and death together, and this time the Qing army entered the customs, which was menacing, not only for the Dashun army, but also for the Qin army, so the Qin army could not sit idly by, and would definitely send troops to help the war.

Tian Jianxiu was very happy when he heard this, and he couldn't stop thanking him.

King Qin's words changed sharply, and he said: "But there are not many people that my Qin army can draw, only thirty or forty thousand people at most, so Gu thinks that it is best to unite some people, strengthen their strength, and win more certainly." ”

Tian Jianxiu was stunned: "Unite some people? Who does the king want to unite? ”

King Qin smiled slightly: "For example, Zhang Xianzhong, Sun Chuanting, Fan Ju and so on." ”

Tian Jianxiu frowned when he heard this: "The Eight Kings are okay, but Sun Chuanting and my Dashun Kingdom are mortal enemies, will he send troops?" And that Fan Ju is a traitor to the Qin army, can he follow the advice of the king? ”

King Qin said: "You don't have to worry about this, go back to your majesty, ask him to do a decisive battle with the Qing army within a month, in this month, my Qin army will definitely be able to mobilize a few families and horses to go to Luoyang to join the division." ”

Tian Jianxiu heard this, although he was suspicious in his heart, but he also felt that it was a good thing, uniting several other families, and without the need for Da Shunguo to come forward, Qin Jun took it all in, so why not do it. So he gladly agreed.

After sending Tian Jianxiu away, Zhang Yi was almost ready, he brought enough silver money, and some Guanzhong specialties, Bai Qi selected three hundred cavalry for him, all of whom were battle-hardened warriors to protect Zhang Yi's safety on the road.

After everything was ready, Zhang Yi came to bid farewell to the King of Qin, and the King of Qin and the ministers sent Zhang Yi out of Xi'an City, and the King of Qin personally gave Zhang Yi three glasses of wine to make a strong appearance. Zhang Yi sacrificed a glass of wine to the sky, a glass of wine to the earth, and drank the third glass of wine, and then said goodbye to everyone and went on the road.

The first thing he wanted to lobby was Sun Chuanting, at this time Sun Chuanting was in Taiyuan, Shanxi, the two sides had just formed an alliance and had a good relationship, so there was no danger on the road.

While Zhang Yi was advancing towards Taiyuan, he was thinking about how to persuade Sun Chuanting to send troops.

He knows very well that Sun Chuanting and Li Zicheng are different furnaces from water and fire. Li Zicheng destroyed the Ming Dynasty, * Chongzhen committed suicide and martyrdom, which is the most difficult to tolerate for Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting has always been loyal and patriotic, so he must regard Li Zi as a great enemy, how can he send troops to help him?

Zhang Yi thought about it for a while, and finally made up her mind to meet Sun Chuanting, so that she could achieve her goal.

After his 300 cavalry entered Shanxi, he traveled non-stop all the way, and arrived in Taiyuan three days later.

At this time, Sun Chuanting had already received a report, saying that there was a personal visit by Zhang Yi, the prime minister of the Qin State, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to the newly established emperor Zhu Cijiong, at this time Zhu Cijiong has not yet set up a new era name, so there is no special title, just known as Emperor Ming, no matter what emperor, Zhu Cijiong is just a teenager at this time, the prince has not done it, where there is experience in governance, so the big and small things in the country are decided by Sun Chuanting.

As soon as he heard that the prime minister of Qin was coming, Zhu Cijiong gave Sun Chuanting full authority to receive him.

Sun Chuanting didn't know what Zhang Yi was doing here, generally speaking, Zhang Yigui was the prime minister of Qin, and it was impossible for him to come out in person, although there was only one province in Qin at the moment, but if it wasn't for a major event that disturbed the world, Zhang Yi would never have come.

As soon as Zhang Yi's men arrived outside the city of Taiyuan, Sun Chuanting had already led Wang Qiaonian, Gu Tong, Zhang Huangyan, Gao Jie and a group of civil and military ministers to greet them outside the city.

This can be regarded as giving enough face, on the one hand, because the two sides have just been aligned, on the other hand, Zhang Yi is the prime minister, second only to King Qin, and the reception specifications naturally cannot be lower.

As soon as the two sides met, they were very polite, Zhang Yi said with a smile: "After many years of separation, Sun Ge Lao is still proud and heroic, not less than the year, it is gratifying." ”

Sun Chuanting knew that Zhang Yi was mentioning things in Hua Y City, and he had met Zhang Yi at that time, so he also smiled: "Yes, thinking of the scene back then, it is very emotional." Now the face of the people is still the same, but the world has changed greatly, you and I can gather again, I really want to thank God, Prime Minister Zhang, please enter the city for a while, my majesty is waiting on the golden palace. ”

When he called out Prime Minister Zhang, he recognized the legitimate existence of the Qin State.

Gu Tong and others also came up to see them one by one, and then Sun Chuanting and Zhang Yi walked side by side and came to the temporary palace in Taiyuan City.

There is naturally no palace in Taiyuan City, so the original political envoy will be used as the emperor's palace, after repairing and arranging, it can be used, Sun Chuanting personally supervised the construction, so it is not shabby, and there is also some royal meteorological majesty.

At this time, Zhu Cijiong had already ascended to sit in the treasure hall, Zhang Yi entered the meeting, and Zhu Cijiong immediately gave a seat and served tea, which was very polite. Zhang Yi also praised the new emperor a few words, and then Zhu Cijiong withdrew from the palace, asked Sun Chuanting to entertain Zhang Yi, and returned to the apse by himself.

Zhu Cijiong's reception was just ceremonial, and if you want to talk about business, you have to go to Sun Chuanting. Zhang Yi also understood.

After the next dynasty, Sun Chuanting set up a banquet in his own mansion to pick up Zhang Yi, and all the important ministers of the Northern Ming Dynasty were here.

After three rounds of drinking, Sun Chuanting cut to the point: "Prime Minister Zhang, you came in person, it won't be just to meet our new monarch." ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "It is naturally one of the purposes of my trip to meet the new monarch of the Ming Dynasty, but I don't hide it from you, Zhang Yi is here for a big event." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Please speak, listen to me." ”

Zhang Yi said: "You are in Shanxi, naturally you have already heard about it, that is, the Qing army entered the customs, I don't know what Sun Ge Lao thinks about this?" ”

Sun Chuanting gritted his teeth: "Wu Sangui is a major criminal minister, and his crimes are comparable to those of Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty in the fifth generation. He introduced the Qing army into Shanhaiguan, and the entire north was almost no longer in danger to defend, and the Qing army rode a horse to Pingchuan, trampling on the land of the Ming Dynasty, and it was really not enough to atone for its sins. ”

Zhang Yi clapped his hands and said: "Okay, a good death is not enough to atone for his sins, and I think so." After the Qing army entered the customs, they drove straight in, and all the places they passed were ruined, and the people were killed and plundered, and countless casualties were killed. I was deeply saddened to see the great rivers and mountains fall under the iron hooves of the Tartars. ”

Sun Chuanting said: "The alliance between His Majesty and the King of Qin actually has the meaning of jointly defending the Qing army. ”
