(New week, ask for recommendation votes for support, Lao Kun urgently needs recommendation votes!) ）

Xi'an, in the former Qin Palace, a middle-aged man with a dark face and a dragon robe cursed.

"Thief, your mother, these Tartars are really thieves! even dared to hit the idea of Shanxi. ”

"Your Majesty, the only way to do this is to hold Shanxi at all costs. As long as the Tatars did not cross the Yellow River, it was impossible to threaten Guanzhong. ”

A man with a slightly chubby figure and a scholarly face respectfully offered advice.

The two people in this dialogue are Li Zicheng, the emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty, and Niu Jinxing, the prime minister.

Although the situation is grim now, the Dashun regime still owns the land of Guanzhong, Shanxi, and Huguang, and may not have a chance to turn the tables.

If you want to survive in death, the most important thing is to keep Guanzhong. Since ancient times, Wang Tu hegemony has flourished here, and Niu Jinxing firmly believes that as long as Li Zicheng is based on Guanzhong, he can return to Beijing sooner or later.

"Well, this one... Of course I do. I have left most of the soldiers and horses in Shanxi, and if the Tartar wants to steal chickens and dogs, I will call him to come and go! ”

Another younger strategist, Song Xiance, was silent. Since several consecutive defeats in Shanhaiguan, Dingzhou, and Zhending, the morale of the Dashun army has been low to the bottom.

At this time, Li Zicheng not only did not appease people's hearts, but listened to Niu Jinxing's slander and unjustly killed the general Li Yan.

Song Xiance was very disappointed in this, and he didn't speak out much in political affairs, so he let Niu Jinxing and another popular strategist, Gu Junen, offer advice.

Of course, Li Zicheng also noticed the changes in Song Xiance, but he didn't plan to say some heart-wrenching words like back then, so that Song Xiance would do his best for him again.

Because Song Xiance made a mistake that he couldn't tolerate - openly supporting Li Yan and interceding for him.

"What do you think?"

Li Zicheng directly skipped Song Xiance and turned to Gu Junen.

After the conquest of Beijing, Gu Junen was made the Marquis of Qi, but Li Zicheng was usually referred to as 'Mr. Gu'. It was because he suddenly called Gu Junen to wait, which made Gu Junen a little uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, the minister also believes that Guanzhong is the foundation of the emperor's industry, and guarding Guanzhong must guard Shanxi. But in addition, Wuchang should also be taken as much as possible. In this way, there is no need to worry about food. ”

Li Zicheng nodded frequently when he heard this, and waved his big hand and said: "I have already said that Huguang must be managed with heart, and immediately give Bai Wang a decree to ask him to make progress." ”

Gu Junen saw that Li Zicheng humbly accepted the advice, so he continued: "Your Majesty, General Bai's headquarters is only seventy or eighty thousand people, and it is not a problem to hold the four mansions, but if you want to attack Wuchang, I am afraid that the troops are a little insufficient. It's better to send Ruhou to lead 50,000 reinforcements and take Wuchang in one fell swoop! ”

Gu Junen's blood was boiling, and he thought that Li Zicheng would immediately adopt his suggestion, but who would have thought that this Dashun Emperor shook his head and said: "Jiexuan (Liu Zongmin's character) can't go." He is my right-hand man, if he leads the troops to Huguang, in case the Qing soldiers really cross the Yellow River and the soldiers are in Tongguan, who can I use? ”

Gu Junen was disappointed. Wealth and danger are sought, why doesn't Li Zicheng understand such a simple truth?

Originally, when I was a rogue, I pinned my head to the belt of my trousers and worked hard with the officers and soldiers, and I didn't see anything to be afraid of. Why did people become so bold as soon as they became emperors?

"His Majesty is in charge of Guanzhong, and he is as stable as Mount Tai. Ruhou led troops to reinforce General Bai by surprise, and he would definitely be able to catch Zuo Liangyu off guard! ”

Gu Junen still refused to give up, and argued with reason.

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind!"

Li Zicheng waved his hand impatiently: "Jiexuan must stay." ”

Gu Junen gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the Marquis of Ru can't lead troops to reinforce General Bai, you should send a general to reinforce you." Otherwise, it may not be easy for General Bai to take Wuchang. ”

Seeing that Gu Junen took a step back, Li Zicheng didn't want to be too stiff, so he also took a step forward and said, "Then let Zongdi lead the soldiers and horses of the right battalion to reinforce Xiangjing." ”

Mianhou?

Gu Junen saw that Li Zicheng finally chose Yuan Zongdi, and he felt a little uncertain.

Compared with the rear battalion of Li Guo's headquarters and the left battalion of Liu Fangliang's headquarters, the combat effectiveness of the right battalion of Yuan Zong's first division was poor. Moreover, Yuan Zongdi's personality is also soft, and he belongs to the type of good man in the army.

How much support can be provided to Bai Wangbu by sending such a person to lead the army and reinforce it?

But Li Zicheng has already said this, and Gu Junen is not good at refutating it again.

After all, it's not the days when you had a horse spoon in a pot.

Once the political power is established, the monarch is the monarch and the minister is the minister, and there is a clear distinction between the two sides.

From the moment Li Zicheng changed the Qin Palace's Mansion to the Dashun Palace, he had already distanced himself from the brothers who fought the world back then.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Gu Junen was very weak and arched his hand at Li Zicheng.

In any case, it is impossible for him to turn back now, and he can only look forward to Yuan Zongdi's hard work and take Wuchang with Bai Wang's army.

As long as Wuchang is taken, the situation will improve immediately, and whether it is to negotiate with the Southern Ming Dynasty to jointly resist the Qing Dynasty, or to form a tacit understanding of the three-legged stand, Dashun has enough capital.

......

......

Leaving the carrier hall, Li Zicheng immediately returned to the harem.

As soon as he saw the queen Gao Guiying, he waved his hand eagerly and said, "Quickly announce the little naiko into the palace, and tell him something important." ”

Gao Guiying saw that Li Zicheng was so anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Why is Your Majesty so anxious to see Xiao Naizi?" ”

"Hey, Gui Ying, I'll tell you the truth, I always can't sleep well these nights, and I often have nightmares that Jie Xuan is carrying a knife to cut off Forehead's head. I want the little snale to help me stare at him. ”

The little naire in Li Zicheng's mouth is his adopted son Zhang Nai. Because he has no heir, Li Zicheng has always treated his adopted son as a parent. His other son, Li Shuangxi, was killed after the defeat at Shanhaiguan for being the queen of the army. It is Li Zicheng who attaches more importance to Zhang Nai.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you're too careful, right? Jie Xuan just said a few jokes, Your Majesty don't take it to heart. ”

Gao Guiying saw that Li Zicheng was suspicious of Liu Zongmin, so she was relieved.

Li Zicheng shook his head and said, "That's not a few jokes, Jiexuan is not convinced." ”

It turned out that Li Zicheng wanted to ascend the throne immediately after entering Beijing, but Liu Zongmin said: I am the same horse as him, why worship him?

Later, Li Zicheng was dissatisfied with Liu Zongmin's brutal methods of torturing the former Ming officials, and Liu Zongmin responded directly: The power of the emperor belongs to you, and the power of torture belongs to me, and there is no trouble.

In April, Wu Sangui rebelled, and when Li Zicheng decided to send Liu Zongmin to Shanhaiguan to crusade against Wu Sangui, Liu Zongmin said again in the palace: Everyone is a thief, why are you enjoying it in the capital and letting me go to the front line to work hard?

Li Zicheng had no choice but to drive in person, and Liu Zongmin followed Li Zicheng to go together.

Although there has been no substantive conflict between the two sides, a rift has formed.

It is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and wealth.

Liu Zongmin was Li Zicheng's best brother and the first general in the Dashun army. It is precisely because of this that Liu Zongmin's prestige in the Dashun Dynasty is second only to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng was not at ease with Liu Zongmin, so he didn't dare to let him lead the army alone to reinforce Xiangjing.
