A strange smile appeared on Zhang Yi's face, he leaned close to the ears of the two, muttered for a while, Bai Qi and Li Yan glanced at each other, and both lowered their heads and muttered. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Li Yan frowned: "Sir, is it appropriate for us to do this?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "What's inappropriate? Li Yan smacked his lips: "I always feel that it doesn't look like a righteous gentleman." Even if it is done, how can the conscience live in peace? Zhang Yi smiled: "Have you read the history books, don't you think that when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for the world, didn't they also treacherously several times?" Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Wu State, didn't he rely on it and not pay it back? And these two people, in the end, both became emperors, can you say that they have no conscience? As the so-called soldiers, the general can understand it best. ”

Bai Qi didn't answer, in fact, this kind of Y trickery, Qin State didn't know how many times in the confrontation with the Six Kingdoms, Zhang Yi insisted on almost all the Six Kingdoms, so in the hearts of the Qin people, there is only victory, no conscience. Of course, the Qin people are not without limits, at least they have strict military discipline and do not kill innocents indiscriminately. Although Bai Qi has killed countless people in his life, he has never done anything to ordinary people. All he killed were soldiers.

Li Yan was stopped by Zhang Yi, he actually understood that if he wanted to achieve a great cause, he had to do whatever it took to succeed. So he asked Bai Qi: "What does the general think?" ”

Only then did Bai Qi speak: "What I'm worried about is not a matter of justice, not a matter of conscience, but whether this matter can be done!" Once exposed, our Qin army will become the public enemy of the world. Are you sure about this, sir? ”

Zhang Yi patted his chest: "Everything is wrapped up in Zhang Yi." Since I have the ability to promote the six-nation alliance, I also have the ability to sow discord and stir up trouble in it. I have no other responsibility. ”

Li Yan said embarrassedly: "If you say such an immoral word, you are also proud to say it justly!" Zhang Yi retorted solemnly: "Where is it immoral? This is called the great plan of the nation. Besides, I, the Qin people, won the world, but I didn't rely on any morality. Rather, it relies on force and strategy. Li Yan couldn't help laughing and arched his hand: "The younger generation has been taught." Your set of skills, not to mention anything else, just talking about your cheeks, is enough for me Li Yan to learn for a lifetime. ”

The crowd laughed.

The next day, Zhang Yi first went to the camps and told the generals that the king of Qin would never regret the agreement between the two sides in advance. Among these families, Zhang Xianzhong, represented by Li Dingguo, and Zuo Liangyu, represented by Ma Jinzhong, did not ask for territory, Zhang Yi told them that they could return to the army first, because here, the Qin army is also a guest, and it is impossible to give them money, food, military supplies, etc., if they feel that it is not easy to go back empty-handed, they can also wait a few days, and go to Li Zicheng to ask for some assets and ask them to bring them back.

Li Dingguo and Ma Jinzhong both said that they could wait a few days, but they couldn't go back empty-handed.

These two people are not stupid, you Zhang Yi said it well, and the King of Qin also agreed, but in case the Qin army does not give money and food afterwards, what can we do? When Qin Jun returned to Guanzhong, he couldn't even see him, who to ask for? It's better to take advantage of the fact that everyone is there right now and ask for money and food directly in your hands. lest you have long nights and many dreams.

Zhang Yi expected them to say this, so he swore that they would never be allowed to return empty-handed. Within a few days, a large amount of money and food would be delivered to their camp.

As for Zhang Huangyan and the Fifth Battalion of Ge Zuo, Zhang Yi also made a guarantee, so the main generals of these families have settled down, even if Zhang Yi has a deal with Li Zi.

The next day, Li Zicheng sent Niu Jinxing to the Qin army camp and invited Zhang Yi and Bai Qi to drink in the camp. Bai Qi understood that this was Li Zicheng going to have a showdown with Zhang Yi, and according to the prior discussion, he deduced that the military affairs in the camp were too busy and it was inconvenient for him to go, so Niu Jinxing accompanied Zhang Yi, and the two came to the Dashun camp together to see Li Zicheng.

Hearing that Zhang Yi arrived, a banquet was set up in the imperial camp, and after Zhang Yi entered the account, he found that the important generals and ministers of the Great Shun Kingdom were there, and it seemed that today was an important day.

After everyone saw the salute, the banquet began, Li Zicheng and others toasted Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi also saluted back, and there was a harmonious atmosphere at the banquet.

After three rounds of drinking, Niu Jinxing stood up, walked up to Zhang Yi, raised a glass to him, and said: "This victory over the Qing army, although it is the result of all the soldiers of the righteous army who used their lives to kill the enemy bravely, but in the final analysis, Zhang Chengxiang is still the first merit. That's why I toast the prime minister. ”

Zhang Yi stood up, and the two drank to each other.

Niu Jinxing continued: "Thinking of my Dashun Kingdom and Qin Jun, I have always been a family. At that time, the officials and troops were powerful, and all the heroes were killed and appeased, but my Majesty raised the banner of righteousness alone and swore to resist the officials and soldiers. Later, the army was defeated, and the Qin army took a righteous shot, subsidizing the army and horses, money and grain, which made my Dashun army survive a catastrophe, and now the Ming Dynasty has died, my majesty was ordered by heaven to ascend the throne of Dabao, but unexpectedly there was another Wu Sangui, leading the Qing army into the customs, my Dashun army rushed to the battle, and was not well prepared, so that the Qing army picked up the cheap. At this time, it was the Qin army that made a move, not only did Prime Minister Zhang Cheng travel thousands of miles to persuade the armies, but also sent General Bai to personally generalize the troops, this kindness, Dashun will never forget. ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Since it is a family, I don't talk about two families." Qin Jun did this, not only for the sake of Da Shunguo, but also for himself. ”

Niu Jinxing glanced at Li Zicheng and continued: "According to the previous agreement, Zhili and the capital should belong to the Qin army, and His Majesty did not hesitate at all. In life, you can't stand without faith, let alone a monarch. Therefore, my Majesty invited my husband to come in order to fulfill the previous covenant. ”

Zhang Yi nodded slightly: "Oh, that's the case." Good...... Good ......"

He just smiled and nodded, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't thank Li Zicheng, because he knew that Niu Jinxing would have something to say later.

As expected, after Niu Jinxing finished speaking, Song Xiance stood up: "It's just that the entire Zhili and the capital are added together, thousands of miles of places, dozens of cities, plus Shanhaiguan, a major defense area in the north, there are no hundreds of thousands of horses, how can the town be guarded?" ”

Zhang Yi frowned: "What Prime Minister Song Cheng said is reasonable, my King Qin is also worried about this matter, the Qin army occupies the central part of the country at this time, and the Hanzhong army will be enough, once the entire Zhili is brought over, it will be overstretched." But I don't know what Prime Minister Song's good plan is? ”

Song Xiance smiled: "My Prime Minister Niu Cheng just said that the Dashun Army has been helped by the Qin Army many times in danger, and I feel that I can't repay it, and My Majesty feels that the present is an opportunity to repay the kindness of your army." ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Really? Zhang Yi listened attentively. ”

Song Xiance said: "It's very simple to say, since your army is insufficient, I am willing to help your army, leaving 150,000 horses, with General Liu Zongmin as the main general, to help your army hold Shanhaiguan and Zhili, and wait until your army recruits troops and horses, and when the troops are available, we will withdraw the army, what about Prime Minister Zhang Cheng?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled secretly in his heart, where is this to leave troops to help the Qin army defend the territory? It is clear that he does not want to give the territory to the Qin army. You must know that at this time, the Qin army only had more than 20,000 horses, and the Great Shun State left 150,000 troops, which could almost completely control the entire Zhilu. At that time, the Qin army was trapped in the capital, and there were Dashun troops on all sides, not to mention recruiting troops and buying horses, even if the transportation of grain and grass had to be from other people's territory, once the Dashun army turned its face, the Qin army became a turtle in the urn, and it was a loss that they could come up with such a ruthless move.

Although the purpose is so, Song Xiance said it in a high-sounding manner, and it is really difficult to refute it if it is replaced by ordinary people, if it is directly dismissed, it seems that Qin Jun has the heart of a villain and spends the belly of a gentleman. And in fact, the Qin army's men and horses are really not enough to control Zhili, and the defense of the capital and Shanhaiguan alone needs at least seventy or eighty thousand horses.

So Zhang Yi frowned tightly and did not answer immediately. He pondered for a long time before he said: "Prime Minister Song's words are very reasonable, my Qin army is insufficient and can't control Zhili, this is still a trivial matter, once the Qing army comes back from Shanhaiguan, won't it cause the previous situation again?" Then our victory in this battle will be meaningless. ”

Song Xiance hurriedly said: "Yes, my majesty is worried about this. ”

Niu Jinxing said: "For the sake of the overall situation, please ask Prime Minister Zhang Cheng to agree to my Majesty's proposal." This is not only beneficial to both you and me, but also to the general trend of the world. The Qin army and the Great Shun State controlled the Zhili, Henan, and Guanzhong regions, and they were invincible. In the event of an incident, the two sides can help each other. ”

Song Xiance said: "Not only that, as long as we both occupy Zhili, we can attack Fan Ju in Shandong to the east, and we can occupy Shanxi in the west, Fan Ju is a traitor to the Qin army, and Sun Chuanting's Beiming is the mortal enemy of my majesty, we can use Zhili as a base in front, and it is very convenient to attack the enemy." ”

Zhang Yi still frowned: "You two are reasonable, but with the military strength of the Qin army at this time, it is simply not capable of attacking Shanxi and Shandong." At this time, Sun Chuanting's subordinates had 100,000 horses, and most of them were personally trained by him, very elite, Fan Ju also had more than 200,000 troops in Shandong, and my Qin army was still very weak and could only defend itself. ”

Song Xiance said: "It is precisely because of the lack of strength of the Qin army that I can settle down in Zhili, recruit troops, and expand my strength." ”

Zhang Yi said: "This place in Zhili is good, but there is one thing, the terrain is flat, almost all the cities are on the plain, and there are no big rivers, no danger to defend, which is not easy for recuperation." My Qin army is here, and Fan Ju must be uneasy. He'll find a way to attack. As the saying goes, saints don't live in danger. Although there is the help of the Dashun army, I always feel that it is not safe to stay in Zhili, and Zhili is not bordering my Guanzhong, once there is a mistake, it is not easy to go back. ”

Li Zicheng heard what Zhang Yi said, so he asked, "So what is the high opinion of Mr.?" Presumably, King Qin also has his own opinions on this. ”
