After a long time, King Qin sneered: "You can't imagine it, the national disaster is at the head, the two of them actually coaxed inside, and two new Ming appeared, if Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the country, knew it underground, I don't know what it would be like to be angry." 【Latest chapter reading. 】”

Bai Qi said: "This is the best, if they are angry with the enemy, one in the north and the other in the south, they will be caught in the middle of our Qin army." Now that the two sides are turning against each other, it just makes our Qin army less threatening. ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Not only that, but my Qin army can win over one, strike one, and meet the source left and right." ”

Li Yan looked at King Qin: "King Fangcai wants to enter Jiangnan, what about at this time?" ”

King Qin said: "At this time, you can't move, if you attack Jiangnan at this time, then it will be Sun Chuanting's intention, we want to attack Shanxi, but it is the intention of the Ming Dynasty in the south, and at this time they must be in strict formation, Sun Chuanting is about to deal with the Chuang army, the Qin army has entered Shanxi, it is clear that it is fighting for territory with the Chuang army, it is better not to go, and wait for the results of the battle in Shanxi." ”

Bai Qi said: "It's best to wait until Sun Chuanting defeats the army and loses his own troops, and then our army will go in and reap the benefits." ”

King Qin shook his head: "If Sun Chuanting can win, it will definitely be a great reputation, and with a new emperor in charge, the morale of the army will definitely rise, and it is not the time to attack at this time." ”

Bai Qi said: "But if Sun Chuanting recovers his vitality, it will be even more difficult to attack again." ”

Li Yan said: "The general said very much, the king, Sun Chuanting is not only a capable general, but also a capable minister, and there is an honest official like Wang Qiaonian in his hands, once he supports the new monarch, and then defeats the army and stabilizes the entire Shanxi, he will inevitably run Shanxi into a monolith, and then want to attack again, it is really difficult." ”

King Qin looked at everyone and aggravated his tone: "You must remember that when the Qin army first rose, there was a defeat, when 10,000 horses were killed and scattered, and Lone was almost captured. This is the greatest humiliation experienced in the past two lifetimes. Since then, Lone has made a vow never to be defeated again. Therefore, a series of subsequent measures have been repeatedly considered, carefully considered, cautious, and treading on thin ice. Our Qin army can no longer withstand a big defeat. ”

The crowd listened in silence.

King Qin said again: "Every time you use soldiers, Gu tries to be perfect. It is better not to win than to lose. This time, if the Qin army took advantage of Sun Chuanting's defeat and the invasion of the army, when its vitality had not recovered, and entered Shanxi, it would definitely meet fierce resistance. Sun Chuanting's men and horses are the most effective among the officers and soldiers. At that time, he was one to restore the country, and the other was to escort, it was very convenient to boost morale, and his generals and soldiers were also willing to make meritorious contributions in front of the new monarch in order to promote official positions. Sun Chuanting will definitely take advantage of this condition. Therefore, even if our Qin army can win, it will inevitably be a miserable victory. At that time, if Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng suddenly turned against each other and joined forces to attack, the Qin army would definitely not be able to hold Guanzhong. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and cold sweat broke out in their palms.

King Qin's overall view and analysis of the current situation can be said to be higher than any of them.

Bai Qi arched his hand: "It's still the king's foresight, and the end will be admired." ”

Zhang Yi frowned: "In this way, I have to rely on Sun Chuanting to develop my strength in Shanxi." ”

Li Yan said: "Yes, if my Qin army doesn't enter Shanxi, I have to count on Li Zicheng to deal with Sun Chuanting in person, but he can't get out of it, and he cheapens Sun Chuanting in vain." ”

King Qin said: "It is not easy for Sun Chuanting to gain a foothold in Shanxi. The east and south are Li Zicheng's territory, the west is our Qin army, and the north is Mongolia and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he is caught in the middle, and the taste will not be good. According to this king, Sun Chuanting also has to use his brains to think of a countermeasure. ”

Zhang Yi was stunned: "What does the king mean, Sun Chuanting may talk about peace?" ”

Li Yan said: "Talk about peace? With whom to make peace? ”

Zhang Yi said: "Sun Chuanting prides himself on being a loyal minister, so naturally he will not negotiate peace with Li Zicheng, so he can only negotiate peace with our army." ”

Li Yan shook his head again and again: "Sir, Sun Chuanting was once assassinated by my eldest brother and almost died, and then fought several times, the two sides have a deep grudge, and he has always regarded my Qin army as a great enemy, how can he come to negotiate peace?" ”

King Qin said: "If he doesn't come to negotiate peace, it means that he is a reckless person, who does not understand the affairs of the family and the country, and focuses on personal interests." ”

Li Yan suddenly realized: "Yes, the interests of the country are naturally put above personal interests." Sun Chuanting has just established a new monarch, and everything should be for the sake of this Zhu Cijiong. ”

Bai Qi said: "King, won't my Qin army move?" ”

King Qin said: "Don't move." It's just that we are stepping up our training of the new army and preparing for war carefully. I thought that it would not be long before the situation in the world would undergo major changes, and at that time, we would be strong and strong, and it would not be too late to move again. ”

Sure enough, as expected by King Qin, within half a month, a horse was reported to Xi'an.

The first thing to report was the matter of Shanxi, and Sun Chuanting really defeated Tian Jianxiu.

said that it was defeated, but in fact, it did not kill or injure many troops, Tian Jianxiu was more like he took the initiative to withdraw the army, he led more than 200,000 troops to withdraw to Zhili, and the speed was very fast, I don't know what happened.

As soon as Tian Jianxiu left, the entire Shanxi was completely in the hands of Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting did not hesitate, after Tian Jianxiu retreated, he immediately went to Taiyuan with Zhu Cijiong, where he was officially called the emperor, with Taiyuan as the capital, Zhu Cijiong named Sun Chuanting as the first assistant of the cabinet, and also led the military department of Shangshu, commanding the world's officials and soldiers, with Wang Qiaonian as the second assistant of the cabinet, the secretary of the department, and the rest of Sun Chuanting and Wang Qiaonian's generals, all of whom were named generals and chief military officers.

Sun Chuanting issued an edict in Shanxi, commanding the world, recruiting people widely, and the weather was new.

After getting this urgent report, King Qin was puzzled, why did Tian Jianxiu withdraw his troops in a hurry? Is it just because he is afraid of Sun Chuanting?

A few days later, another urgent report was sent from Beijing, and King Qin looked at it again and immediately became clear.

It turned out that Li Zicheng urgently ordered Tian Jianxiu to withdraw his troops and return to the capital because something happened to Wu Sangui in Shanhaiguan.

Since Li Zicheng entered Beijing and Chongzhen died, Li Zicheng learned the lesson of Huangchao and ordered his people not to disturb the people. Those who dare to kill are immediately beheaded, and those who live with women are guilty of the same crime as murder.

In this way, no one of his men dared to disturb the people, and everything in the city was blocked, and the merchants still opened their businesses, without losing the prosperity of the past.

However, since the peasant army rebelled for many years, the hatred and resentment against the court had already overflowed in his chest, and Li Zicheng had an order not to disturb the people, but he did not say that he could not do anything to those relatives of the emperor and the officials of the DPRK and China. So I don't know who picked the head, and led people to rush into the house of Uncle Chaoguo, robbed and beaten, and immediately looted this family.

With a beginning, it was not easy to stop the later ones, so there was chaos in the capital immediately, and all the officials of the DPRK and China were not spared.

Later, it finally got big, and Liu Zongmin hated these officials very much, so he personally led people to break into the prime minister's house, and the prime minister handed over one million taels of silver.

The prime minister couldn't take it out, so Liu Zongmin whipped him in public, and finally the prime minister gave up all the money he had looted over the years to avoid death.

Liu Zongmin made such a fuss, and the generals below followed suit, so the officials of the former dynasty could be seen everywhere in the entire capital being tied up in the streets and alleys and tortured.

The peasant army is a character who kills people without blinking, and at this time, in the face of these old men who have oppressed them for many years, they immediately showed their hideous faces and rectified those officials miserably. There are those who cut off their hands and feet, those who cut off their heads and pluck their hearts, those who peel their skins and crush them, and there are those who lie on the nail board, light the sky lanterns, and boil the oil pot, and the screams in the capital are endless.

When Song Xiance heard about this situation, he immediately came to Li Zicheng and asked him to stop it, so that everyone in the capital would be in danger, and the peasant army would be so desperate that sooner or later they would attack the ordinary people.

Li Zicheng also thought so, and immediately found Liu Zongmin, telling him not to blackmail the officials anymore, Liu Zongmin was also obedient, because at this time, the silver in the hands of the officials in the DPRK and China was almost paid, so the city gradually settled down.

But the consequences of this incident were far more serious than Li Zicheng expected.

As early as a few days ago, Liu Zongmin broke into the home of an official named Wu Xiang, and in addition to robbing the treasure, he also took away a woman.

It was this woman who completely changed the later history, she was Wu Sangui's concubine, Chen Yuanyuan.

When Wu Sangui heard that his home had been robbed and his concubine Chen Yuanyuan had been taken captive, he finally "rushed to the crown and became angry", beheaded the prison army sent by Li Zicheng, and ordered all his men and horses to be filial piety to Chongzhen, and swore that he would not share the sky with Li Zicheng.

His subordinates said: "The general and Li Zicheng turned their faces, this is as it should be, but now we are under the enemy's back, and there are Qing troops outside the pass, if they come to attack together, the general and I will not be able to complete the corpse." Now we have to think of a way. ”

Wu Sangui pondered for a long time: "As long as I can eliminate the thieves and hate the family of the Snow Country, I am willing to join forces with the Manchurians." ”

So he sent an envoy out of Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, and expressed to Huang Taiji that he was willing to lead the Qing army into the customs and destroy the thieves together.

When Huang Taiji heard it, it was like a pie falling from the sky, and he was very happy and immediately agreed. He personally crowned Wu Sangui as the general of Pingxi. Because Li Zicheng and others raised troops in the northwest, they named him General Pingxi, which meant to exterminate the intruding army.

When the news reached Beijing, Li Zicheng was furious, and he personally led his army to conquer Wu Sangui, seize the Shanhai Pass, and block the Manchu Dynasty. But at this time, he only had 100,000 horses in his hands, and his strength was insufficient, so he urgently ordered Tian Jianxiu to lead the army to join the division.

After reading the emergency report, King Qin smiled at Bai Bai: "The general is right, Shanhaiguan will really affect the situation in the world." ”

Bai Qi also read the emergency report and said: "If Li Zicheng wins this battle and captures the Shanhaiguan, he can still block the Qing army, if he fails, the Qing army commander drives into the pass, and whether the army can gain a foothold in Zhili is not yet known." ”
