Zhang Yi looked at the people in the tent and said, "My king has indeed made a plan to come down, but this matter is very important, and it cannot be said in public, please forgive your majesty." [No pop-ups. 】”

Li Zicheng nodded, and then waved his hand to both sides, and all the generals retreated one after another, leaving only Li Zicheng and Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing in the tent. Li Zicheng said: "So, Mr. can say it." ”

Zhang Yi said: "To be honest, my King Qin is not interested in Zhili, and the previous agreement is just a sign of sincerity. At this time, the Qing army had withdrawn from Guanwai, and the foreign enemy was no longer there, leaving us as a family, and anything could be discussed. Your Majesty said yes? ”

Li Zicheng said: "That's nature. ”

Zhang Yi said: "The king of my family has made it clear that he does not want to be directly subordinate to the capital, but the Qin army sent troops this time, using tens of thousands of horses and countless money and food, if you don't get anything, I am afraid that the generals in the army will not accept it." ”

Li Zicheng smiled: "That's true. If you want as much food as you want, just ask me about it, and as long as I can afford it, I can give it. You're welcome. ”

Zhang Yi said: "As a coalition army, we fight together, hundreds of thousands of horses are in Luoyang, all of them eat you, military money and food, Dashun is afraid that there are not many, so the king of my family does not want these, only a few places." ”

Li Zicheng's heart sank: "Where do you want?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "The previous agreement between our two sides was that Dashun State would send Zhili and the capital to the Qin army. And our Qin army can't protect such a large territory, so they will also return Zhili and the capital to Dashun State, and only ask for a few county towns in Henan. ”

Song Xiance said: "Which counties? ”

Zhang Yi said slowly: "Miyang, Xinyang, Runan, these three counties. ”

Li Zicheng listened and breathed a sigh of relief. These three counties are not places under their complete control, most of Xinyang is in the hands of Nanming, Runan and Miyang counties, and Dashun only sent a few soldiers and horses, because they want to fight against the Qing army with all their might, and they can't take care of that side. Therefore, these three county towns only sent some people to the city, and the towns and villages in various places could not be taken into account at all.

Li Zicheng secretly thought, these three counties and the Nanming border, and he and the Nanming are enemies, now after occupying Zhili, the north to guard against the Qing army, the west to guard against Sun Chuanting, and the south to guard against the Nanming, this is very difficult, and if these three counties are handed over to the Qin army, then the Qin army is between themselves and the Nanming, and if the Nanming wants to attack Dashun, they must first attack the Qin army. Therefore, under certain conditions, the Qin army is its own shield.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng showed a satisfied smile on his face, but he didn't say anything immediately, just said: "Such a big matter, I want to discuss with the two prime ministers, can Mr. stay for a while." ”

Zhang Yi said: "It's okay, this is a major matter between the two countries, and Your Majesty must decide carefully." I can wait. ”

Li Zicheng ordered someone to invite people to enter Tian Jianxiu and Liu Zongmin to accompany Zhang Yi to drink, and he and Song Niu turned around to the sleeping tent in the back, Song Xiance said: "Your Majesty, I just saw your face happy, it seems that I want to agree." ”

Li Zicheng said what he thought in his heart, and then said, "Two gentlemen, do you think I'm right?" ”

Niu Jinxing said: "Your Majesty is very right. After my Dashun country, the Quartet is very hot, at this time the Ming Dynasty is dead, there is no owner in the world, who is the first to ascend the throne, is the master of the world, then these candidates do not have this strength, only I Dashun can be called the emperor. But after being crowned emperor, it is difficult to say whether the candidates are really convinced. The reason why they were able to come in this battle must be that the King of Qin should give them a lot of benefits. The minister guessed that since Qin Jun didn't want Zhili, why did he still make a covenant with the king? ”

Li Zicheng said: "Yes, why? ”

Niu Jinxing said: "Yichen guesses that King Qin is going to use Zhili to make a deal. And the object of the transaction is likely to be Sun Chuanting. ”

Li Zicheng suddenly realized: "Yes, King Qin doesn't want Zhili, Sun Chuanting does." I'm afraid he wants it in his dreams. Only by getting Zhili and the capital can Zhu Cijiong ascend the throne in a dignified manner and restore the Ming Dynasty. If there were no such conditions, how could Sun Chuanting send troops to help me resist the Qing Dynasty? ”

He paused, and frowned again: "But Zhang Yi clearly said not to be straight." He turned to the three counties of Henan, and the territory of those three counties was not very large, so it was not like he had made a deal with Sun Chuanting. ”

Song Xiance said: "Although the territory of those three counties is not large, they are important places for soldiers. It can attack us in the north, Huguang in the south, Anhui and Shandong in the east, and the Nanyang region controlled by the Qin army in the west, which can be supported. Zhang Yi wanted this place, it seems that he wanted to use it as a fortress to advance. ”

Li Zicheng said: "He has already mentioned it, are we agreeing or not agreeing?" Nominally, these three places, mostly under our control. ”

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance did not answer immediately, and they also had to think about it.

It stands to reason that it is too cost-effective to use these three counties to exchange the entire Zhili and Beijing City, but Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance both felt that King Qin seemed to have other intentions, so they agreed hastily like this, and the consequences have not been thought out clearly.

Li Zicheng saw that they didn't speak, so he said: "It's not so practical, we can't control so much, if you don't agree, King Qin can ask for the entire Zhili plainly, even if there is a joint jurisdiction of my Dashun country, but there are many inconveniences." If you don't get it right, you will turn against the Qin army. And at this time, you must not turn your face with Qin Jun. No matter what, we must hold the Qin army tightly. As long as you are friendly with the Qin army, you will have one less strong enemy. After we block the Qing army and destroy Sun Chuanting and Fan Ju, we will make plans, and if we want to destroy Sun Chuanting and Fan Ju, we must occupy Zhili and the capital. ”

Song Xiance nodded again and again: "Your Majesty's words are extremely true. Actually, as you said, it doesn't matter what other people think. As long as you feel fit, you can make this deal. Besides, this is just a matter between our Dashun Kingdom and the Qin army, and the agreement made between our two countries has nothing to do with others. As for the other candidates, let the Qin army send it. ”

Niu Venus nodded yes.

The three of them agreed and came out to see Zhang Yi together. At this time, Zhang Yi was already full of wine and food, and was accompanied by Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu to talk, and as soon as they saw the three of them, Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu retired.

Li Zicheng smiled: "Sir, just now my monarch and ministers have discussed it and decided to agree to Mr.'s conditions." Although those three counties are very important to my Dashun Kingdom, Qin Jun is my ally and my benefactor Li Zicheng, as long as Qin Jun puts forward a request, I will definitely agree. Therefore, these three counties, Qin Jun can receive them from now on. ”

Zhang Yi stood up and arched his hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Zhang Yi is here on behalf of King Qin, thank Your Majesty for your hospitality." Let's just say that Zhili and the capital are still governed by Dashun State. ”

Song Xiance personally took two glasses of wine and handed them to Li Zicheng and Zhang Yi, the two of them touched glasses, and then drank them all, which can be regarded as a covenant and cannot be changed.

Zhang Yi said: "Since I have completed my mission, I will bid farewell to Your Majesty." My King of Qin is still in Guanzhong, waiting for news from me. From tomorrow, our Qin army will prepare to move the division, and on the day of the start, I will join the general and resign to Your Majesty. Please Your Majesty also put in order to organize the men and horses as soon as possible and prepare to take over the surrounding counties. ”

Li Zicheng said: "Mr. has worked hard. For the sake of Dashun country, Mr. is willing to take great risks and send all the families to wait, so that today's victory can be achieved. This first merit must be Mr.'s, and the whole country of Dashun is grateful to Mr. Someone's coming. ”

Outside the tent walked two Chinese soldiers, each holding a large wooden plate full of gold.

Li Zicheng said: "This is a thousand taels of gold, give it to Mr., talk about it, and hope that Mr. will not refuse." ”

Zhang Yi was also not polite: "In this way, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank Your Majesty for your kindness." ”

Everyone sent Zhang Yi out of the tent, and the two Chinese soldiers handed over the gold to the Sui Cong brought by Zhang Yi, and then Zhang Yi said goodbye to everyone and went back to the Qin army camp.

Zhang Yi returned to the camp, Bai Qi and the others had been waiting in a hurry, and when they saw him coming back, they immediately surrounded him, and Li Yan asked, "Sir, how are you talking?" Zhang Yi smiled: "It's done, those three counties are ours." ”

Bai Qi said: "Okay, with these three counties, the gate to the east will be opened, and in the future, the troops will be used, and the advance and retreat will be well-founded, and the initiative will be in the hands of my Qin army." ”

Li Yan was still a little worried: "Sir, the other families will definitely know the news, although you only went to Li Zicheng's camp, but this kind of thing, it is difficult to hide it from everyone." ”

Zhang Yi said: "That's natural, they will definitely know." ”

Li Yan said: "In this way, what will my Qin Jun use to complete the transaction with them?" Zhang Huangyan is still waiting for the capital, and Fan Ju is also waiting for those county towns in Zhili. ”

Zhang Yi laughed: "This kind of multi-party transaction, there will always be dissatisfaction, the king has a will, and everyone must not be satisfied, so we are the ones who suffer." Right now, my Qin army has won three counties, and I have eaten a mouthful of fat R, and I don't care about the rest. ”

Bai Qi smiled and said: "Sure enough, it is Mr. Zhang Yi's style." It hasn't changed for 2,000 years. ”

Li Yan frowned and said, "But if they come to hold us accountable, how should we deal with it?" If we don't deal with it well, the hatred of those families will be transferred to us. ”

Zhang Yi said: "Li Gongzi rest assured, I have already discussed this matter with the king before I left the customs. Early tomorrow morning, you will begin to prepare to set up camp and return to Shiguanzhong. I'll go to each camp and transfer all their hatred to Dashun Kingdom. ”

Li Yan said: "Are you sure of this? ”

Zhang Yi said: "I think that there were many resourceful people in the Six Kingdoms back then, didn't Zhang Yi say that they were dazzled with a sharp mouth? At present, most of the commanders of these groups of people are reckless people and are easy to deal with. ”
