Chapter 64: Persuasion II

But after a while, Zhang Xuan was invited in.

After Zhang Xuan saluted, he handed over a piece of paper and said, "The last general will be ordered by the commander to send the document to King Chuang." ”

Zhang Nai took it and handed it to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng opened it and looked at it, and his eyes lit up, and he saw three big characters written vertically on the far right: "Persuasion table." ”

Li Zicheng hurriedly looked at it, took a deep breath, kept his face unchanged, and handed the persuasion table to Niu Jinxing. Niu Jinxing was also taken aback, and then looked at it, only to think that this article was too badly written.

The persuasion table is a routine, first of all, how someone is wise and martial, how chaotic the world is, if someone is not good, someone is not the emperor, the world will not be able to live. Say what auspicious things are, and explain what the will of heaven is.

A routine is a routine.

But it depends on who writes it.

I'm sorry, but this persuasion form was written by Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan lacks both writing and sincerity, and in many places, he excerpts from other words in the persuasion table, which makes Niu Jinxing look very familiar.

It's not that Zhang Xuan wants to succeed, but now in Cao Ying, most of the scribes have been implicated by Ji Jue and Chen Shaoxian. For a while, no one could be found to ghostwrite. And Luo Rucai doesn't understand this, but Luo Rucai trusts Zhang Xuan very much and thinks that Zhang Xuan is a great talent. Zhang Xuan was designated to write.

Zhang Xuan had no choice but to piece together this article.

If it weren't absolutely perfunctory, Zhang Xuan would be eager to take an envelope, seal a blank piece of paper, and write the words "persuasion form" on the envelope.

However, this kind of political article has time and needs to be written, but more important is who sent it.

This persuasion form was written by Zhang Xuan, but it was sent in the name of Luo Rucai. For Li Zicheng, it is the best article in the world.

"Brother Luo, are you really willing to respect me as the emperor?" Li Zicheng tried to calm his emotions, and he had already brought out a bit of trill.

"Would King Chuang rather listen to the truth, or listen to lies?" Zhang Xuan said: "If you want to listen to falsehoods, just look at the persuasion table, and if you want to hear the truth, listen to the ministers." ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, please speak." Li Zicheng never regarded Zhang Xuan as a pure general, but as a civilian official who could fight.

"The momentum of the king's ascension to the throne, even if my family is unwilling, he can't do it. Today's letter of persuasion is for the sake of the righteousness of the righteous army, you are ruthless, but the marshal cannot be unrighteous, and he can't help but think of the brothers who have died in the hands of the officials and soldiers for so many years, so he wants to make a gentleman's agreement with King Chuang. Zhang Xuan said.

"What agreement?" Li Zicheng said.

"My handsome family had no intention of being in the world, and he had no intention of fighting with King Chuang, but he was forced to fight for one by King Chuang

Fight. At that time, Liu Xiang agreed to enter the customs first and be the king, and now we agree that if the king goes to Beijing first, my family will be handsome, tie up his hands and enter the court, hand over the military power, and retire for the rest of his life. Zhang Xuan said.

"I heard that General Zhang offered Luo Shuai the strategy of taking Jiangnan as the foundation," Li Xin said: "I think that Cao Ying is already preparing to attack Jiangnan, if I break into the camp instead of attacking Beijing, and attack Nanjing instead, what should I do?" ”

"This is why my handsome man respects the king as the emperor." Zhang Xuan said: "After the ceremony of the king, my Cao Ying will go east with a large army, and the land of Huguang will belong to the king of Chuang, so please raise the noble hand of the king of Chuang, and let me be the commander of the Jiangnan region." ”

Li Zicheng wanted to open his mouth to agree, but Li Xin took the lead again and said: "This matter, press it for the time being, what if your handsome family occupies Nanjing and King Chuang occupies Beijing?" ”

"What else? If you lose your deer, the world will be in chaos, and those who are talented and fast will get it first. I will be handsome and naturally willing to hunt the Central Plains with King Chuang. Zhang Xuan said.

Zhang Xuan's words are false and real, many of them are simply untrue, anyway, Zhang Xuan just wants to make sure that Cao Ying's attack on Jiangnan is not hindered by the camp. And in history, Li Zicheng chose to first the northwest and then attack the Beijing division, no matter what the reason, let Li Zicheng choose this.

After adding Cao Ying's variables this time, Zhang Xuan tried hard to make Li Zicheng follow the original history.

And on top of the grand strategy, there is nothing to deceive, most of them are yang conspiracy, and it is better to be honest.

"Luo Shuai, is this just one condition?" Niu Jinxing asked.

"It's just the most important thing." Zhang Xuan said: "As long as this is achieved, the following things will be easy to talk about." ”

Needless to say, there are many sedan chairs that carry people. Thinking that Luo Rucai respected Li Zicheng as the emperor, Li Zicheng did not give a king to Luo Rucai, so he was a little too stingy.

"This matter is very important, let me think about it." At this time, Li Zicheng also calmed down and said, "Mr. Zhang, go down and rest first." ”

"Please also ask King Chuang to hurry up, I made an appointment with the marshal when I came, if I go back late, it will not be good to cause any misunderstanding." There was a faint threat in Zhang Xuan's words.

"Don't worry, it won't be delayed for long." Li Zicheng asked Zhang Xuan to be sent down.

As soon as Zhang Xuan left, Niu Jinxing immediately saluted and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Luo Rucai is a minister." ”

Li Zicheng was also very happy, but he also knew that Luo Rucai was just a false name, just a step down, and said with a smile: "It's just a false name." ”

"Nope." Niu Jinxing said: "The status of the monarch and the minister must come down, and in the future, the general trend will suppress it, and there is a way to clean up Luo Rucai." It's just a matter of putting it in for now. ”

"So to speak." Li Zicheng said: "Mr. Niu agreed. ”

"Exactly.

Niu Jinxing said: "Zhang Xuan thinks that he has the wisdom of a man, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. The most important thing in the troubled times, one is a soldier, one is grain, Jiangnan is indeed rich in the early Ming Dynasty, rich in grain, and now Huguang grain is not weaker than Jiangnan, Jiangnan has many mulberry fields and cotton fields, and rice fields are far inferior to the beginning of the country. Now the handsome has a vast half of the lake, living in the upper reaches of the river, since ancient times there are those who have the south of the Yangtze River, must guard the upstream, no upstream is not enough to establish a country, the Jin Dynasty destroys Wu, first destroys Shu, the building ship goes down, a piece of descending flags out of the stone. Now His Majesty lives in Huguang's grain, and then attacks Qin, takes Qin's sharp soldiers, collects the soldiers of the three sides, and specializes in attacking the Beijing Division, and the Beijing Division will be passed down in the world. Even if Luo Rucai is stubborn and occupies Jiangnan to resist the king's division, when the vast army of Huhu goes down the river, and the northern army directly takes Yangzhou, can Jiangnan be defended? ”

"And now, the name is divided into the most urgent task, Chongzhen is mediocre, the world knows that he is not the lord of the world, but the king of the Quartet to fight, can not be corrected, the division is stopped, for fear of losing the hope of the heroes of the world, Luo Rucai persuaded to advance, then the world will think that His Majesty is the master of a million righteous army. The hearts of the people are attached, so why not be afraid of Cao Ying. ”

"Yes."

Li Zicheng listened to what Niu Jinxing said, and his heart was full of pride, but he tried not to show it.

"What is the East Capture?" Li Xin said: "Since Wanli, the East has been the enemy of the world in a corner, for decades, although there is a mediocre court, but the combat power of the East is not to be underestimated, I think why Zhang Xuan must take Jiangnan, may be because of Wang Puping's side strategy. ”

"Pingbianze?" Li Zicheng had never heard of this thing.

"In the Song Dynasty, Song Taizu took the plan of the world, because the Khitan was in the north, so 'first the south and then the north, first easy and then difficult.' Zhang Xuan was afraid that he would regard the Dongyu as a strong enemy, so he would first take the south and then the north, first the easy and then the difficult, the people in the south of the Yangtze River were weak and easy to conquer, the Yangtze River was a natural danger, and the Jiangnan was a pattern of partial security. When the time comes, the strategy of Taizu's Northern Expedition is probably what Zhang Xuan intended. ”

"Let Dongyu contain me?" Li Zicheng sneered: "Dongyu has no great ambitions, he has entered the customs several times, and he does not dare to occupy an inch of land, but he has returned to the customs outside, so he knows that they do not have the heart to live in the customs for a long time, and then they are only small clans, but 100,000 men, even if the elite can fight a few battles, after a few battles, I am afraid that the clan will be mourned." How can you restrain me? It's just wishful thinking. I originally thought that Zhang Xuan had some conspiracy, if it was just like this, what if he allowed him, but he temporarily placed Jiangnan in the hands of Luo Rucai for a few years. When the north is settled and the soldiers go south, I don't believe that Luo Rucai will be able to turn the sky. ”

Li Xin felt that Li Zicheng was a little proud at this moment. But as far as he wants to come, he doesn't think that Donglu is a big enemy, and after recovering the three sides, he will rectify the border defense, not to mention destroying the Dongyu, and rejecting the enemy outside the Great Wall, he can still do it, and when the time comes, it will not be too late to free up his hands and attack Jiangnan.
