On the road leading to Junzhou in Shuzhong, more than 200 war horses are hurrying forward, and they are dusty, probably how many days there has been no rain in this area, and they are on a rolling journey.

Of course, this team is Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army, and one of the generals headed by the iron helmet and iron armor ring round eyes and beard is Wang Shangli, the general of the Chinese army under Zhang Xianzhong.

He was ordered by Zhang Xianzhong to deliver a letter to Li Dingguo, the king of Anxi, in the camp of Junzhou.

They ran profusely and sweated profusely, and went out of the front of the mountain to a wilderness and wilderness, and they did not know that at this time countless sharp arrows had been aimed at them in the dark.

Suddenly, the arrows were fired, and the Great Western Army, which had been attacked suddenly, fell to the ground one after another, and they never dreamed that someone would ambush them here, because this was their territory in the Great Western Kingdom.

For a while, the screams, the crash of the blades, the whistling of the arrow wind, mixed with the neighing of the war horses, were in chaos.

Wang Shangli, as a general of the Chinese army, is also a person who can fight habitually, and he uses the big knife in his hand to hit the stray arrow, while paying attention to the movements around him.

After the rain of arrows, with a shout, ambushes rose in all directions, all of them masked men in black, rushing towards them, hundreds or thousands.

Wang Shangli was a little confused, looking at this outfit, could it be that he had met a bandit? But if it is a bandit, why do they cover their faces with light veils and wipe their faces with black ash?

Wang Shangli, who didn't care about a lot, had to give the order to retreat, as the general of the Great Western Army, of course he was not afraid of war, but the other party was outnumbered, and he had a major mission.

But it was not easy to retreat, they were already surrounded by these hundreds of black-clothed people, and the random arrows just now had already caused them to lose nearly half of their men and horses, and now there were about 100 people left. In the blink of an eye, they were trapped in the middle of these hundreds of black-clothed people and scuffled.

However, the close battle between the two sides, Wang Shangli was a little dumbfounded. This time, the black-clothed masked men are all strong, not a rabble, not to mention that the other side is outnumbered, even 1 to 1 their own people are not their opponents.

Wang Shangli, as the chief general of the Chinese army, brought more than 200 personal guards this time, of course, are elite and strong generals, but even so he can't resist the opponent's offensive.

In particular, the first two are even more evil. A bright silver spear in one hand danced like rain hitting pear blossoms. The other hand made a pair of leopard-tailed steel whips, and hit these Onishi sabers and spears flying wildly, and the dead bodies rolled.

Even Wang Shangli couldn't resist these two.

Wang Shangli regretted it a little, he knew how good it would be to bring more soldiers over like this, but he would not calculate the future, unpredictable prophet, a melee including Wang Shangli, these more than 200 Western troops will all be annihilated, and no one will slip through the net.

Then these men in black examined the dead bodies one by one, and found those who were not completely dead, and then gave them a knife.

In the end, the two black-clothed masked men led by him took out a secret edict from Wang Shangli's body, opened it and looked at it, and smiled at each other, "Li Gongzi is really worthy of his reputation, otherwise wouldn't we have been poisoned?" ”

As he spoke, he hid the secret decree in his arms, and then commanded these men in black to throw all these corpses into the ravine, and then these men in black walked away......

The camp of Li Dingguo in Junzhou, the camp of Gao Guiying and Li Yan.

His generals Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi came to see the main general Gao Guiying and the son Li Yan, and then took out the secret decree.

After Gao Guiying and Li Yan passed it on to each other, the two of them gritted their teeth and scolded: "The Eight Kings are really not a thing, the thief is difficult to change, sure enough, he doesn't remember the love of the year, and wants to poison us, since this is the case, don't blame us!"

"We've been here for so many days, and if we don't do it again, it's time to wait, since they attack us first, we'll kill them all, these turtle grandchildren!" Yuan Zongdi couldn't help but scold.

Gao Guiying said: "Don't be reckless, the Lord of the Prison Country has a purpose, don't hurt Li Dingguo."

Then Gao Guiying and Li Yan immediately drew up a plan, they had to start immediately, ambushed sword and axe men and archers inside and outside the camp, and then sent people to invite Li Dingguo to the camp for a banquet.

Li Dingguo saw that Gao Guiying and they were going to have a treat, of course they had to go, and they were working together very happily now.

Because although there are not many people in Gao Guiying's battalion, more than 2,000 people are all elite soldiers and strong generals, and the Ming army in this area is invincible, invincible, Li Dingguo is now completely unwary of this battalion, thinking that these remnants of the Dashun army have been completely incorporated into their Daxi army.

He, Li Dingguo, as the king of Anxi of the Great Western Army, is also the chief general in the army, and good things such as subordinates inviting guests and drinking are definitely indispensable, so Li Dingguo didn't think about it elsewhere at all, and he didn't bring any handy weapons such as halberds and silver-loaded maces, bows and arrows, and only rode a horse with a few personal entourages into Gao Guiying's camp.

Gao Guiying, Li Yan, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others greeted them at the camp gate. The greetings between the two sides have ended, and Gao Guiying let Li Dingguo into the big tent.

Li Dingguo is still a little puzzled, why did Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi disappear? asked casually, and Li Yan explained that the two generals were on duty today, patrolled the camp, and would return in a while.

Li Dingguo laughed, thinking that these two generals were really dedicated, and they also patrolled the camp in person. Facing a sumptuous banquet, everyone sat down.

But as soon as Li Dingguo sat down, he found that something was wrong with the situation today, including Gao Guiying, Li Yan, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other former subordinate generals had an indescribable strange expression, and in their enthusiasm and respect for him, they all looked at him with a strange look, and he noticed it.

Li Dingguo's heart flipped over, what's going on? Is there something they are hiding from themselves?

Just about to ask, suddenly he felt that the atmosphere in this big tent was not right, and it should be a festive and lively atmosphere for guests to drink, but he stopped talking when he entered the big tent, and there was a kind of murderous intent here, as a battle-hardened he should not feel wrong, with his years of experience he concluded that there was an ambush inside and outside the tent, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look around, and felt that this murderous atmosphere was even stronger.

Well? Li Dingguo immediately became vigilant, could this be the Hongmen Banquet? Li Dingguo just thought about it, and then Li Yan smiled at him: "Lord Wang, I have wronged you, come here!" ”

As soon as Li Yan said this, ambushes broke out, and 1,800 archers, knives, axes, and musketeers who were in ambush inside and outside the big tent all appeared.

"What's going on? What are you going to do? Li Dingguo's face changed, his eyes were like electricity, and he questioned Li Yan and Gao Guiying.

Li Yan sneered: "Lord Wang, I didn't expect it. Let me tell you the truth, we were sent by Lin Yi, the master of the prison country, and we would have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty a long time ago.

Li Yan said and pointed at Gao Guiying, "This is the commander of Pingxi who has been crowned by the Lord of the Prison Country, and I am here to suppress the thieves, you have fallen for our Lord Lin's clever plan, those who follow me will advocate, and those who oppose me will die!" However, Lord Lin saw that you were a hero enough, and ordered me not to wait for harm, and it was your advantage to hurry up and arrest you, otherwise the consequences of not knowing the current affairs can be imagined. ”

Li Dingguo was stupid when he heard this, and he made trouble for a long time Gao Guiying's battalion, and more than 2,000 people were all fake surrenders?

This anti-plot can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented, and it is also mixed with the ingredients of bitter meat scheme. Because how many times have this battalion won battles? He couldn't remember how much territory he had gained for them, and he couldn't remember how many times he had hosted a celebration banquet for them.

Li Dingguo completely regarded them as his own people, from Gao Guiying to Li Yan to the soldiers below, Li Dingguo regarded him as his henchmen, and this battalion also became his trump card battalion.

Once upon a time, Li Dingguo had an idea in his heart. Seeing that Gao Guiying, who was as beautiful as a flower and was still young, was now single and widowed, he even wanted Zhang Xianzhong to accept her as a concubine.

In Li Dingguo's eyes, Gao Guiying's talent is simply Qin Liangyu's second, and if Zhang Xianzhong can get the assistance of such a woman, he will definitely be like a fish in water.

In addition, there is Li Yan, this young Li Gongzi is no less than Zhuge Liang is alive, Jiang Ziya was reborn, most of the wise men around his father Zhang Xianzhong are stupid talents, what Wang Zhaolin, Yan Ximing, Pan Duxi, Xu Yixian and others, at best, are just some dog-headed military advisors, compared with Li Gongzi, they are just a few miles away.

There are also Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, etc., which of these generals are ten thousand enemies, you must know that thousands of troops are easy to get, and one general is hard to find.

Now that Li Zicheng is dead, and the Dashun Kingdom no longer exists, these more than 2,000 people collectively came to vote for their Daxi, which is equivalent to taking over the entire team of the Dashun Army, with these more than 2,000 people, why worry about not making a big deal? What are you afraid of him, Lin Yi and Manchu Tartars?

During this period of time, Li Dingguo was very excited about so many elite soldiers and good generals in their Daxi country, how many times he sang in his dreams about his father Zhang Xianzhong Hongfu Qitian, and how many times he was extremely proud and proud that Gao Guiying, a battalion soldier, would defect to him Li Dingguo in the future, making his heart in his early 20s beat wildly.

One day, he will ask for meritorious service and rewards for soldiers such as Gao Guiying and Li Yan in front of his father, promote their official positions, and let them make his wife Yinzi continue to serve in the Great Western Kingdom.

But now that they suddenly said that they had faked surrender, Li Dingguo's brain suddenly seemed to be dead, and it was like a blow to the head.

The sentence of happiness and sorrow is really accurate, and Li Dingguo was completely unexpected.

The Hongmen banquet in front of me is simply seamless, and the gods are difficult to notice!

"Gao Guiying? …… Li Yan! ……”

Li Dingguo's face was so blue that he was about to spurt blood, but he only shouted these two names, and then he was arrested.

Because this is also the result of his continued fighting, although he is strong in blood and can fight well, he has a halberd in the palm of his crotch, one horse and three weapons, and he is invincible.

But now with bare hands, unarmed, and the generals have no horses to break their legs. Not to mention that there were so many soldiers in ambush inside and outside the camp, bows, arrows, and muskets could kill him, and even the few people who sat with him to eat with him could not deal with him.

Gao Guiying, Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Li Yan, these are all generals who can conquer and fight habitually, they join forces, and the heroes are difficult to defeat with four hands, Li Dingguo is already unbearable, in addition, he also saw Liu Fangliang in the ambush inside and outside the camp, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, Li Laiheng, these generals are all fully armed, with thousands of soldiers eyeing him.

As for the few personal entourages that Li Dingguo brought with him when he came, they had long been controlled by them.

From what Gao Guiying and Li Yan said just now, Li Dingguo also heard that if it wasn't for Lin Yi's order to arrest him alive, these people would have already cut him into pieces.

In this way, Li Dingguo obediently became their prisoner, and poor Li Dingguo was invited to the banquet, but he didn't eat a mouthful of food or drink a mouthful of wine, so he became a prisoner of others.

But he scolded, just begging for death, saying that he would never surrender to Daming, and he also scolded Lin Yi for being a hypocrite, someone blocked his mouth and tied him up like a zongzi, and Li Dingguo had no choice.

After capturing Li Dingguo and several of his entourage, Li Yan, who was strategizing, immediately carried out the next step.

Capture the thief and capture the king, although Li Dingguo was caught, but he still has tens of thousands of horses under his command, and he must not leak the news, otherwise it will be a big trouble.

Then Li Yan ordered people to go to other battalions to invite the commanders and deputy generals of the battalions under Li Dingguo's command, saying that Li Dingguo wanted to discuss the military situation in their camp tents and let them report immediately, of course, one by one.

Li Dingguo's tens of thousands of horses were divided into more than a dozen battalions, and were controlled by more than a dozen capable generals.

These dozen or so capable generals received fake military orders one after another, some did not suspect it at all, and came immediately, and some wondered in their hearts, why didn't I go to Gao Guiying's tent instead of my own camp tent?

But they thought about it again, Gao Guiying's battalion is now winning battles everywhere, and it can fight tough battles, and now its face is in the sky, and it is normal to go to their battalion to convene a meeting, so they all come over.

As a result, Li Yan and Gao Guiying had already laid a net, and these big men would catch one by one, and two would catch a pair, and soon the tens of thousands of horses under Li Dingguo, including Li Dingguo, all the main generals and deputy generals were all arrested.

Then Gao Guiying and Li Yan gave them a showdown, and then gave them two paths: those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will die, and let them make a choice.

Now these generals know that they have been fooled, but it is too late to say anything. A few of them were really loyal to Li Dingguo and Zhang Xianzhong, and they swore to die.

As a result, he was dismembered on the spot, and blood was splattered on the spot. Gao Guiying and Li Yan also have the meaning of killing chickens and monkeys.

As a result, the remaining generals all expressed their willingness to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and betray the Great West.

In this way, through cleaning up one by one, Li Dingguo's tens of thousands of people and horses were all under control.

In less than half a month, Li Dingguo's tens of thousands of horses were all rebelled by Li Yan and Gao Guiying, which is simply a miracle.

But Li Yan and Gao Guiying also killed thousands of Western generals, of course, these are people who do not know the times and are loyal to Li Dingguo and Zhang Xianzhong.

And Li Yan did a very thorough job, and they didn't show the slightest rumor.

Then Li Yan and Gao Guiying immediately sent someone to secretly report to Lin Yi for their victory, and attached their next plan of action to Chen Lin Yi......

Lin Yi had just arranged for Song Xiance to negotiate peace with Hong Chengchou, and he received a good news from the army.

Lin Yi laughed after reading it, "Gui Ying and Li Gongzi are really good, they live up to the trust of the national army in this prison, and they do a good job, Zhang Xianzhong is not far from bad luck!" ”

Xiao Ying next to her said: "Brother Lin, Sister Gui Ying, they are very capable, more than 2,000 people have leveled Li Dingguo's 50,000 horses, and they have captured Li Dingguo alive, but can they really capture Zhang Xianzhong alive?"

Lin Yi said: "Why not, as long as Zhang Xianzhong moves to Junzhou, it will be difficult to fly when he arrives in Gao Guiying's camp, but Guiying and Li Gongzi are too few people, and this prison country has to send troops to them to help them, and if they can catch Zhang Xianzhong, their Great Western Kingdom will not be far from the end!"

After reading this letter, Lin Yi happily made annotations on it, praised Gao Guiying, Li Yan and others a few words, completely agreed with their next plan, and mobilized the nearby Ming army to fully support them, instructing them to capture Zhang Xianzhong this time.

Then Lin Yi sent someone to send this annotated excerpt back to the Junzhou camp.

Next, Lin Yi issued several orders as the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, ordering Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, who were fighting in Yichang, and Huang Degong, who was fighting in Shaanxi, to immediately dispatch forces to Junzhou to stand by......

After Gao Guiying and Li Yan received Lin Yi's will, they were overjoyed, and immediately started the next step in accordance with the predetermined plan, Li Yan and Gao Guiying in the name of Li Dingguo, let Li Yan imitate his handwriting, and wrote a letter to Zhang Xianzhong, saying that Li Dingguo was seriously ill in the army and was in danger, and his last words had been written, and he had nothing else to ask for in this life, but to see his father for the last time.

After it was written, he used Li Dingguo's big seal and sent Li Dingguo's henchmen and generals, but this henchman had already surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and received heavy money and bribes from high-ranking officials, and sent the letter to Xijing.

Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Daxi, looked at it, his face was full of astonishment, Wu'er Dingguo was seriously ill and in danger, oh my God, how could this be?

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't accept it, how could Li Dingguo, who was so powerful, say that he fell ill when he fell ill? And he's critically ill, how sick does this have to be?

Especially when he saw Li Dingguo's last words, Zhang Xianzhong cried, although Li Dingguo ranked second among his godsons, but over the years he regarded Li Dingguo as his own, even closer than his own son.

This is also because Li Dingguo has always been loyal to him, can fight habitually, become his right-hand man, and is now one of the strong pillars of the Great Western Kingdom.

Suddenly, the father and son are going to be separated by yin and yang, don't look at being the emperor, but how can Zhang Xianzhong, who still has a little chivalrous heart, stand it?

Zhang Xianzhong immediately took a few imperial doctors and 10,000 soldiers from Beijing, left the capital of the Great Western Kingdom, that is, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province in later generations, and went straight to Junzhou......

The Ming military camp at the mouth of the Sancha River, when the peace talks between the Ming and the Qing Dynasty were underway.

Song Xiance: "Your Excellency, this is a few simple terms put forward by our Lord Jianguo, please take a look at it, sign it and bring it back with the seal, and the Ming Dynasty will withdraw from the army."

Song Xiance smiled, and as he spoke, he spread out the terms that Lin Yi and he had drawn up in advance on the table.

Hong Chengchou was a little dizzy when he saw these articles, the first one was that the Qing Dynasty must pay tribute to the next year, and he would be called a minister at every age.

If the Qing Dynasty is promised to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the nature of the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty will be determined, just like the current dynasty is to the Qing Dynasty, and the ancient dynasty is to the Ming Dynasty.

When it comes to death, I'm afraid the Qing Dynasty won't agree, the surname Lin Xin is harmful, and he stepped forward to grasp the key point, why don't you give the Qing Dynasty an ultimatum to let them Xiaozhuang and Dolgon surrender with Emperor Shunzhi to sacrifice Shengjing, what else to talk about!

Fortunately, I came this time to sell dog meat with a sheep's head, and the peace talks were just a cover, otherwise I wouldn't be able to agree to the first one, and I wouldn't be able to be the master at all!

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou held his breath and looked down patiently.

Second, the Ming Dynasty must return the territory of the Ming Dynasty that has been plundered since the Battle of Saar Lake, including Shengjing, a total of 71 cities and the areas under its jurisdiction.

This article is also very fatal, the battle of Sal Lake occurred at the beginning of this century, and now it is the middle of this century, which is twenty or thirty years ago, and it is also of great significance to the Qing Dynasty, and even affected the strategic pattern of Northeast Yan, Nurhachi won more with less, defeated the Ming Dynasty, and made the Ming lose a large area of territory in Liaodong, and the capital of the Qing Dynasty (then known as Houjin) was also moved from the city of Amtuara to the current Shengjing. This is equivalent to knocking on the northeast gate of the Ming Dynasty and laying the foundation for his southward strategy.

However, the strategic significance of this battle is far more than that, this battle Nurhachi not only defeated the Ming Dynasty's four-way army of more than 100,000 people, but also crossed the Ming Dynasty's hardcore ally Chaoguo, 5,000 Korean troops were forced to surrender, and the Korean country changed from the Ming Dynasty's helper to a neutral country.

Also, this battle Nurhachi also conquered the northeast rival Ye Haobu, it can really be described as killing three birds with one stone, since then the Jin army out of the white mountains and black waters, after the capital of Shengjing, that is, after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, began to look at the world.

It can be seen that if there was no original battle of Salhu, Houjin and Daqing have always been some barbarians on horseback, and now Lin Yi wants them to return to the state before the battle of Salhu, thus denying Nurhachi's peerless classic example of winning more with less, it is like a sports field, finally breaking the world record and winning the championship, and now Lin Yi wants to go back to the pile and start over, can the Manchu Tartars do it?

Not to mention anything else, can these more than 70 cities be returned to the Ming Dynasty? Is it possible that they moved the capital from Shengjing back to Haotuala? This is tantamount to returning to the pre-liberation period of the Qing Dynasty all at once!

I'm afraid that Emperor Nurhachi is so angry that he has to crawl out of the grave!

Hong Chengchou slandered in his heart while looking at it, the surname Lin is really ruthless, and such a peace negotiation clause can also be thought of, is this called a peace negotiation? It's just an overlord clause, thanks to our insincerity!

Hong Chengchou continued to look down at Article 3, it was okay that he didn't read Article 3, but it was even more difficult for him to accept it.

It is written that the Qing Dynasty should compensate the Ming Dynasty for the costs of all major and minor wars since the Battle of Salhu, including the Battle of Salhu, the Battle of Ningjin, the Battle of the Great and Small Ling River, and the plundering battles carried out by the Manchu Tartars who crossed the Great Wall several times, and on two occasions they also reached the land of Gyeonggi of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, all the costs of these wars must be borne by the final defeated country, Lin Yi calculated an account for him, all of which were converted into silver, and a total of 1.438 billion taels of silver needed to be compensated, and a fraction of it was not needed, and a whole number of 1.4 billion taels was taken.

1,400,000,000 taels of silver!

Don't talk about the Great Qing Dynasty in the land of projectiles, this number is an astronomical amount for any country.

Hong Chengchou grew so big, he had never seen such a big number, and it was silver, there were whole and zero, and he didn't know how Lin Yi calculated it.

I can really ask for it, this kid surnamed Lin wants to be crazy about silver, he actually asked for 1.4 billion taels as soon as he opened his mouth, he thinks that the Qing Dynasty is rich in gold and silver!

Hong Chengchou gritted his teeth, patiently remained silent, and continued to look down, there were still a few articles behind the trade between the two sides, as well as terms such as military service and conscription for the Ming Dynasty.

Isn't this what I want to do? Which one kills!

But you are so ruthless, I Hong Chengchou also have my own way, that is, drag!
