Someone brought a silk book, in duplicate, and Zhang Yi and Sun Chuanting signed and signed each of them. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

When Sun Chuanting signed, he suddenly stopped writing: "Prime Minister Zhang, there is another condition below." ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Please speak." Sun Chuanting said: "If our army sends troops, it should be able to draw out 30,000 horses, but this governor can't leave His Majesty's side, Lord Wang Qiaonian and General Gao Jie and Li Zijing are evil, and they can't go, so this army can only be led by a deputy general, after going, it will not be under the command of the Chuang army, but rather under the command of your Qin army, I don't know which general your army sent?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "It's the general Bai Qi." ”

Sun Chuanting smiled: "Okay, these 30,000 horses will be under the command of General Bai, and they will not be allowed to break into the army." ”

He has always called Li Zicheng a breaking army, not the Dashun army, indicating that he does not recognize the Dashun country at all.

Zhang Yi and the others signed, drew a pledge, and each put away one copy. Then continuing to drink, Zhang Yi said: "The king of my family has a saying, let Li Zicheng resist the Qing army for a month, not a decisive battle, so within this month, the men and horses of your army will rush to Luoyang." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "There is no problem with this, I will choose the men and horses tomorrow, but the men and horses I sent must meet with the Qin army first." ”

He is also careful, in case his men and horses arrive in Luoyang alone, Li Zicheng will most likely come and take the sheep and destroy his 30,000 people, and at that time he will lose his blood capital. Following Qin Jun, Li Zicheng will not come nonsense.

Zhang Yi smiled: "Naturally, I will write a letter to King Qin as soon as possible, let the general agree on the place, and wait for your army." ”

The two sides agreed, and the wine was over.

Zhang Yi returned to the pavilion arranged for him, immediately repaired a book, and sent someone to Xi'an to hand it over to the King of Qin.

He is the most sure of his trip to Shanxi, and knows that as long as he comes to meet Sun Chuanting and talks about this matter, he will definitely succeed. It's just that this condition is up to him alone.

Divide the Zhili equally, this is a bold idea, in this way, you can let Sun Chuanting in the capital and Shanhaiguan, block the Qing army, although the Qin army is sandwiched between Sun Chuanting and Li Zicheng, but it is not angry, because these two are enemies, and the two countries are also enemy countries, they all need a buffer zone, and there is room for maneuver in doing anything. And the southern region of Zhili is exactly such a place.

At that time, the Qin army will not only not suffer from the enemy, but will also be left and right, even if it fights, it will not offend both sides at the same time, and if one side is an enemy, the other side will be a friend, so that it can be supported and not isolated.

Zhang Yi wrote this in the letter, asking the King of Qin to rest assured.

The next day, Sun Chuanting had to invite him, but Zhang Yi couldn't stay, because he had more important things, that is, lobbying Fan Ju.

This is the most difficult bone to gnaw on among the lobbying aspects.

It's not that Li Zicheng and the Qin army have to unite with Fan Ju, but because the place occupied by Fan Ju is very important, once Dolgon takes the lead, he joins forces with the Qing army, and the trouble is too great, uniting Fan Ju has both one more alliance and one less enemy, success or failure is even directly related to the situation in the world, how can Zhang Yi not worry.

After leaving Shanxi, Zhang Yi crossed the Yellow River and went straight to Luoyang, he wanted to meet Li Zicheng first, and after seeing Li Zicheng, he rushed to Shandong.

After three days, Zhang Yi came to Luoyang, when the Qing army had not yet crossed the Yellow River, but was gathering people. Wu Sangui also felt that Li Zicheng wanted to rely on Luoyang and fight to the death, so he didn't dare to be careless, and only waited for Dolgon to lead the army from Beijing before starting to cross the river to attack.

When Zhang Yi came to Luoyang, he was discovered by the Dashun army, Zhang Yi reported the name of the official, and the Dashun army did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent Zhang Yi and his escort to Luoyang City.

Li Zicheng was very happy when he heard that Zhang Yi had arrived, and Tian Jianxiu had already reported back, saying that the Qin army agreed to join the army, but only to let the Dashun army be within one, and could not fight a decisive battle with the Qing army. Because the King of Qin had sent people to lobby several other forces to promote an anti-Qing alliance.

After listening to Tian Jianxiu's words, Li Zicheng also felt that King Qin's move was very wise, but he didn't know how this matter was going, and when he heard that Zhang Yi had arrived, he immediately understood, so he personally led Liu Zongmin, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing and other important ministers to meet outside the city.

The two sides met, said hard work to each other, and then entered the palace in Luoyang City together.

The palace in Luoyang City is the former Fuwang Mansion, which has become Li Zicheng's palace at this time.

After taking a seat, Li Zicheng did not speak, and Song Xiance said first: "I heard General Tian report that the King of Qin has sent people to lobby all the families, and it seems that this envoy is Prime Minister Zhang Cheng." The fact that Mr. Qin sent Mr. Qin out in person is enough to see the importance he attaches to this matter. ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Yes, for the matter of uniting to resist the Qing Dynasty, the attitude of the king of my family is very clear, the Qing army is a barbarian, not my Han race, and it must be expelled, so I was sent to various places to unite the kings and raise troops together." ”

Liu Zongmin said: "I just don't know how many families Mr. has already moved?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "I set out from Guanzhong and went to Shanxi first, and I have successfully persuaded Sun Chuanting that he will send tens of thousands of horses to meet the teacher within a month. ”

Liu Zongmin patted the scabbard on his waist: "Sun Chuanting? He is the sworn enemy of our Dashun country, is he really here to join forces this time? I'm afraid it's not a fraud. ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "There is fraud or not, we can't divide it with the enemy camp, but with the current general trend." I said to him, if you don't come to join the army, if you watch the fire from the other side, once the Qing army wins, the next attack will be Shanxi, and there will be no one to help you at that time. And this time our coalition army will be dispatched, and there will be no less than hundreds of thousands of men and horses, and we are very sure of dealing with the Qing army. Sun Chuanting is a shrewd person, presumably we all agree with this, and after he thought it through, he agreed. ”

Li Zicheng said: "Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is really a genius in the world, and one mouth can be worth 100,000 male soldiers." The widow didn't expect him to help, as long as he didn't take refuge in the Qing army. ”

Zhang Yi said: "Sun Chuanting supported the third prince of Zhu, the Qing army is very unhappy, these two aspects can not go together, he does not come to join forces against the enemy, there is no way out, just a small reminder." ”

Niu Jinxing said: "Where is Mr. going next?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "Naturally, Shandong, Fan Ju is there." Song Xiance listened and frowned slightly: "Mr. knows best, Fan Ju defected from the Qin army, will he not hold a grudge against you?" If you go, you will be caught in a net, and your life will be in danger. ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "I know, but I also have a way to make Fan Ju dare not kill me." ”

Li Zicheng shook his head: "Sir, you know that at this time, Fan Ju has the fifth battalion of Gezuo, with no less than 300,000 men and horses, and his ambition is not small because of Shandong, and his Shandong is not bordering Guanzhong, and the Qin army cannot threaten him, so he must not be afraid of the Qin army, and if you send it to the door, won't he kill Mr. and let the Qin army lose an arm?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about this, you have your own way." ”

Song Xiance said: "Since Mr. has a proposition, we don't want to ask too much, but Mr. came to my Luoyang, he must not only warn us about this." ”

Zhang Yi said: "Naturally. Zhang Yi has one thing to ask His Majesty to adjudicate. ”

Li Zicheng said: "Although it is said. Zhang Yi said: "The alliance of armies, this alliance leader, is naturally Your Majesty, but there is also a need for a general to lead the soldiers and horses of all parties, so as to coordinate and prohibit, otherwise they will each give their own orders and disobey the command, and this battle will not be fought." ”

Song Xiance glanced at Liu Zongmin and said with a smile: "That's right, I think our General Liu is worthy of this position." Liu Zongmin frowned, but didn't say anything.

Zhang Yi looked calm: "Yes, General Liu is brave in battle, has good command, and is indeed a qualified commander." But there is a question below, I don't know whether to talk about it. ”

Song Xiance said: "What questions does Mr. have? Zhang Yi said: "The people and horses I want to lobby, in addition to Fan Ju and the Eight Kings, also include Sun Chuanting and Nanming's army, if Fan Ju is willing to agree, most of them will send the men and horses of the five battalions of Gezuo, and the Eight Kings will also send generals, these two people, plus my Qin army, General Liu Da commanded, naturally it is not effortless, but to command Sun Chuanting and Nanming's people, do you think they will obediently obey General Liu's orders?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Song Xiance did not answer immediately, and was silent.

Everyone knows that Sun Chuanting and Nanming are both Ming troops, and in the final analysis, they are enemies with the Dashun army, and the men and horses they sent will never obey Liu Zongmin's orders.

Li Zicheng said: "I'm afraid I won't." ”

Zhang Yi said: "Yes, not only will you not be able to join forces against the enemy at that time, but you are afraid that you will fight first in your camp." Therefore, I don't have doubts about General Liu's ability, but I really think about the overall situation. ”

Niu Jinxing said: "Then in the opinion of Mr., who will be the commander?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "I recommend Bai Qi, the general of my Qin army. What do you think? ”

Song Xiance said: "General Bai's ability is obvious to all, so it is naturally possible, but can he command all the horses?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "This is natural. Sun Chuanting's side, I have already negotiated, he is willing to send men and horses to obey Bai Qi's command, the Eight Kings and General Li Kang of my Qin Army are righteous brothers, I believe he will not have any objections. If His Majesty's side also agrees, then he only needs to explain Fan Ju and Nan Ming. ”

Song Xiance sneered: "Who doesn't know, Fan Ju defected only after turning his face with Bai Qi in the Qin army, you went to lobby him, it was very unwise, and you also wanted his men and horses to obey Bai Qi's command, isn't it a fool's dream?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Prime Minister Song, don't you believe that there are miracles in this world?" ”

Song Xiance said: "Except for the miracle that His Majesty overthrew the Ming Dynasty, I have never seen it. ”
