The two walked side by side and entered the side hall, sure enough, there were already a few wooden tables here, King Qin sat on the main hall, and there were two rows below, and Tian Jianxiu's seat was the first one. [No pop-ups. 】

At this time, the wine and food had been placed on the wooden table, and there was a maid next to it, who specially filled the wine.

After Tian Jianxiu came in, he saw two people sitting on both sides, it was Zhang Yi, Bai Qi, he was the first seat, and next to him was Li Yan. Tian Jianxiu saw the King of Qin, and first stepped forward to salute: "Tian Jianxiu, the general of the Dashun Kingdom, has seen the King of Qin. ”

King Qin waved his hand: "General Tian has come from afar to work hard, please take a seat." ”

Tian Jianxiu thanked him, then came to his seat, and bowed his hand to Zhang Yi and Bai Qi: "Prime Minister Zhang, General Bai, don't come harmed." Tian Mixiu was polite. ”

The two also returned the salute, and King Qin said: "Today, this king prepares a little thin wine, and washes the dust with General Tian, please don't be polite." ”

Tian Jianxiu thanked him again, and the banquet began.

After a few drinks, the conversation turned to the main topic, and Li Yan asked first: "General Tian is here, there must be something important, I want to discuss with my king." ”

Tian Jianxiu said with a smile: "The so-called Three Treasures Hall is not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Tian Mou is here to follow the order of His Majesty of my family, to send a letter to your army and further communicate." ”

As he spoke, he took out the letter of state from his bosom, and a Chinese army took it and handed it to King Qin.

Generally speaking, the letters of state are much the same, and they are some of the rhetoric of the diplomacy of the two countries, so you don't need to pay too much attention to it. Therefore, the King of Qin did not unfold and watch, but just put it aside and asked: "This king is not called the emperor, it cannot be regarded as a country, your majesty, you value my Qin army too much." ”

Tian Jianxiu hurriedly said: "Where is it, the king and the Dashun army have a great kindness, and His Majesty of my family often talks about it." After returning to Henan, the area controlled by him is only a province in Henan, and there is no difference between high and low with your army. ”

King Qin nodded slightly, feeling that this person was very good at talking, so he said: "In addition to sending the letter of state, General Tian must have another mission." ”

Tian Jianxiu smiled: "Exactly, and this matter is only capable of the Qin military." ”

Bai Qi said: "Oh? It seems that you have thought it through. Tian Jianxiu said: "That's natural, the general also knows, at this time, my Dashun army retreated to Henan, my majesty is the emperor in Luoyang, and the Qing army and Wu Sangui, a traitor to my Han people, have already approached the north bank of the Yellow River, and will cross the Yellow River in a few days to fight a decisive battle with our army." And the reason why our army gave up Zhili is also because the terrain there is unfavorable, and in Luoyang, the mountains and rivers are vertical and horizontal, and Luoyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is where our army can display its strengths. Therefore, my majesty has decided to fight to the death with the Qing army in Luoyang. In order to be sure enough to win, I was specially sent to ask the king to send men and horses to join forces with my Dashun army to break the Qing army. If the Qing army is broken, it will inevitably go north, and your two armies will pursue it by taking advantage of the situation, and they will definitely be able to drive it out of Shanhaiguan. As long as the Manchu Tartars leave, His Majesty will give it to the capital with a straight subordinate, and will never break his word. ”

Zhang Yi listened, and his eyes rolled: "What do you mean is that as long as we join forces, break the Qing army, and drive them out of Shanhaiguan, the entire Zhili, including Beijing City, will be given to my Qin army?" ”

Tian Jianxiu nodded: "That's right." ”

Zhang Yi looked at Bai Qi, Li Yan, and then at King Qin, he was not easy to express his position for a while. King Qin smiled and said: "General Tian has worked hard all the way today, please drink a drink first, have a good rest, and it will not be too late to discuss this matter tomorrow." ”

Tian Jianxiu understood that it was impossible for King Qin to agree or disagree immediately on such a big matter, and it was normal for people to discuss it internally and then make a decision, so Tian Jianxiu didn't say anything.

After drinking this wine, Li Yan arranged a place for Tian Jianxiu to live and personally sent him to rest. Tian Jianxiu was in the post house and handed over Song Xiance's letter to Li Yan.

Li Yan opened it and saw that it was written by Song Xiance himself, which was to the effect that Li Yan persuaded the King of Qin to be sure to send troops to help, if he did not send men and horses, in case the Dashun army was lost and Henan was lost, Guanzhong would lose its barrier, and his lips would be cold.

After Li Yan saw it, he said goodbye to Tian Jianxiu and returned to King Qin's mansion.

At this time, the King of Qin was discussing the matter with Zhang Yi and Bai Qi, and as soon as Li Yan returned, he immediately presented the letter to the King of Qin. Li Yan is very careful about this kind of thing, he is not a Qin person, but he is in the Qin army, and there are other forces to write letters to him, which is a big taboo, if he doesn't admit it frankly, once he is discovered by the King of Qin, he will immediately be suspected of communicating with foreign countries, so Li Yan is handed over to the King of Qin for all the letters from outside, just to reassure the King of Qin.

After reading Song Xiance's letter, King Qin was noncommittal, and calmly handed it over to Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi and Bai Qi also read it, Zhang Yi smiled and said: "This Song military teacher, his heart is not good." He didn't write a letter to the king, but he wrote this letter to Li Gongzi in a very intimate tone, which meant to divide the monarch and the ministers. ”

Li Yan said: "Mr. is right, I used to have dealings with the Dashun Army, but after all, I am a member of the Qin Army, how can I help them speak?" Everything is subject to the king's judgment. ”

King Qin waved his hand: "Li Gongzi, don't be careful, this kind of little trick, my Qin people have used it a lot." The general should know that in the Battle of Changping back then, if it hadn't separated Lian Po and King Zhao, and let King Zhao replace the useless Zhao Kuo, how could he have won a big victory! ”

Bai Qi smiled and said: "Exactly, the use of counter-plots is the means that my Qin army has always used. His surname Song also wants to come to this hand, but it is still far away. ”

King Qin said: "Let's not talk about this first, what does Li Gongzi think about sending troops?" ”

Li Yan frowned: "With this letter here, I really can't say that I should send troops, but judging from the current situation, it is better to send troops." The Dashun army was originally the defeated general of the Qing army and Wu Sangui's subordinates, although Luoyang is not Shanhaiguan, nor Beijing, but the Qing army is extremely powerful, Wu Sangui has a gritted hatred for Li Zicheng, and the fight must be desperate, although the Dashun army has many men and horses, but it is far less than the elite of the Qing army and Guanning iron cavalry, so in this battle, Li Zicheng won more and less. If he is defeated, all the territory under his control will inevitably be taken away by the Qing army, then our Qin army in Nanyang will have to face the Qing army directly. If it can't withstand it, the Qin army can only withdraw into Tongguan and cede the entire Henan to the Qing army. At that time, it will be difficult to break through again. ”

King Qin looked at Bai Qi: "What Gongzi Li said, what does the general think?" ”

Bai Qi said: "My Qin army and the Qing army, sooner or later will go to war, there is no doubt about this, in my opinion, the late battle is better than the early battle, fight at home, it is better to pull out and fight." If you start a war in Luoyang, you can try the Qing army's catties and taels, and even if you lose, you won't lose the territory of our Qin army. If the situation is not good, withdraw immediately. ”

King Qin looked at Zhang Yi again: "What about the prime minister?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "King, in fact, you have already thought of countermeasures, so why bother asking them one by one?" ”

King Qin smiled coldly: "I still have to ask, lest everyone only listen to King Lone, but bury their words in their hearts." If you want to oppose it, you don't dare to talk about it, that would be misrepresenting the country. ”

Zhang Yi straightened his face at this time: "The king has taught a lesson." In fact, this time the minister was also in favor of sending troops. The reason is the same as that of the general and Li Gongzi, but there is another point, which is one of my thoughts. ”

King Qin said: "If you have any ideas, just talk about them." ”

Zhang Yi said: "The entry of the Qing army into the customs is a shame for our Han people, and now we and Li Zicheng are alone in the Qing army, but it is not cost-effective to let several other candidates stay out of the matter." They can take advantage of our blocking of the Qing army to develop their own strength, once our Qin army and the Dashun army fight the Qing army, both defeated, they can take the opportunity to make trouble, and the fisherman will benefit. ”

King Qin couldn't help nodding: "Reasonable, reasonable." The prime minister's concerns are far-reaching. ”

Zhang Yi said: "At this time, we must not let them watch from the wall, watch the fire from the other side and watch the excitement, we must drag them all into the water and fight the Qing army together." ”

King Qin said: "Okay, very good. Come and join forces with several countries to resist the Qing soldiers. But who are the ones who can be united? Zhang Xianzhong has just taken Sichuan, and he still needs to stabilize the interior, whether he will send troops, I am not sure. Sun Chuanting is also stabilizing the situation in Shanxi, as for that Fan Ju, hum, how can he join forces with my Qin army? And Nanming's side, he didn't dare to say it. ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "The king doesn't have to worry, with the minister's mouth, it will inevitably be said that these forces will send troops together." ”

Before King Qin could answer, Bai Qi smiled: "Is Mr. going to join forces again?" ”

Li Yan also smiled: "But at this time, the world is not the previous Six Kingdoms." ”

Zhang Yi didn't care, he seemed confident, and shook his head and said: "At this time, the world is indeed not the six countries before, but Li Gongzi, you have to remember one thing, no matter when, what any force expects and fears is the same thing." ”

Li Yan said: "What? ”

Zhang Yi said: "Interests." ”

Bai Qi said: "Yes, the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, as long as it is about interests, no one can be unmoved." Zhang Yi said: "As long as you take the right pulse and talk about the vital interests of a person or a country, this person and the country cannot sit idly by." ”

King Qin said: "Okay, let's first promise Li Zicheng and let him stay in Luoyang for a month, within this month, Mr. can lobby all parties, but ...... Other forces are okay to say, but this Fan Ju is the only one...... I'm afraid that if my husband goes, something will happen to him. ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "The king doesn't have to worry, the minister is the first to lobby Sun Chuanting, I believe it will not take much effort, and then this Fan Ju." ”

King Qin said: "If you can form a coalition army from all sides, the momentum must be extremely huge, and you will be sure enough to deal with the Qing army." But let all sides send troops, how to talk about this condition? Li Yan said: "Yes, there is no benefit, how can they send troops?" ”
