As the king of falcons, this big falcon can still maintain a trace of sobriety under the magic sound of Chen Yuanyuan's Tianmu pipa, if it were other eagles, it would have fallen down a long time ago.

It has long been psychic, it knows that its injuries will not be able to fly to Hauge's side, rather than die in the wilderness and be eaten by wild beasts, it is better to fly to Wang Jian's side, maybe the egg in its belly still has a glimmer of life.

Wang Jian was also overjoyed, as the so-called Sai Weng lost his horse and knew whether it was a blessing or not, although he was chased by this eagle again and again and almost lost his life, but because of the blessing of misfortune, he also obtained a Haidongqing egg, and this egg is huge, and it is not ordinary at first glance.

He resisted the urge to take revenge on the great falcon and eat the bird's eggs. He tore off a piece of cloth from his body, carefully wrapped the egg, and promised to the big falcon's corpse, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." With that, he dug a pit and buried the big falcon.

Chen Yuanyuan watched Wang Jian finish all this, and he also looked at the bird egg in his hand with a coveted face.

Wang Jian discovered Chen Yuanyuan's intentions, he put the bird egg behind him, and said: "What do you see, this is my baby, I will still point to it to give birth in the future, but it is not for you to eat." ”

Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Wang Jian and walked away speechlessly.

Hauge saw that the big falcon he had sent to scout had not returned for a long time, and he was anxious. That Haidong Qingwang is his treasure, he cherishes it incomparably, and he never moves easily. And every time it is dispatched, even the realm of kings among the human race, and even the masters of the realm of emperors, are helpless against it because it flies too high, but this time I don't know what happened.

Without a sharp weapon that could monitor and track Chongzhen, Haoge didn't dare to act rashly. He has suffered losses from the enemy several times, and if he pursues it again, he will only extend further into the interior, and he may encounter accidents. He had no choice but to lead the troops back north.

Without Haoge's pursuit, Wang Jian played the emperor's banner along the way, and actively gathered the stragglers in the surrounding townships and counties, and soon, tens of thousands of people gathered.

After Wang Jian led his troops to Cangzhou City and joined Wu Sangui and other Guanning troops who had already arrived in Cangzhou, the two forces combined to reach an astonishing 100,000 people.

Wang Jian couldn't help but sigh that he pulled out a military horse of 100,000 people when he ran for his life, but Chongzhen in history was trapped alive in the capital by himself.

The army rested in Cangzhou City, and five days later, Cui Dazhuang, who was transporting Mithril, finally arrived. In the past few days, he has been cautious, walking day and night, and there are no dangers along the way, and finally he has fulfilled his mission, and one million taels of silver is a lot. Wang Jian was very happy, sent Shen Sihai to distribute the salary, and then ordered the army to continue south.

With Hauge's futile return and the return of the two yellow flags, it was also a great addition to Dolgon, who was in a stalemate with Li Zicheng at this time, so he did not criticize Hauge too harshly.

The offensive and defensive battle of the Beijing Division has been going through more than half a month, and every day there is a roar of artillery fire and a burst of killing. Both sides won and lost each other, and both suffered heavy casualties. For more than 200 years, the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty has been operating with high walls and thick walls, like a crematorium, incinerating countless soldiers on both sides.

Li Zicheng shrank in the city, Dolgon couldn't help it for a while, he didn't want to spend it with Li Zicheng, but he had to consume, in order to be able to enter the Central Plains, he had to take the imperial capital, because this was the first step!

Moreover, if Dolgon can fulfill his father's and brother's long-cherished wish and take the capital of the Ming Dynasty, his prestige in the Qing Dynasty will reach its peak, and the little emperor Fulin will completely become a puppet at his mercy.

Therefore, whether it is public or private, the imperial capital city, he is bound to win!

But Dolgon can afford it, but Li Zicheng can't afford it, and the grain and grass transported from the customs are only enough to last for half a month, but now he has to afford the food, drink and Lazar in the entire imperial capital. He sent people out every day to collect grain, but with little success, and even in order to complete the task, the grain collector did not care about the life and death of the people, which led to a small-scale rebellion.

As the saying goes, the wool comes out of the sheep, if the middleman does not make the difference, then what does he earn? If you don't eat yours, what will Li Zicheng eat?

Li Zicheng's slogan of "eat his mother, drink his mother, and follow King Chuang without food" has also completely reduced to a joke.

When the people saw the grain requisition officer appointed by Li Zicheng, it was like seeing a locust. There is no harm if there is no comparison, they can't help but start to miss Emperor Chongzhen, compared with Chongzhen, Li Zicheng is a robber and bandit who eats people and does not spit out bones.

The Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City.

Li Zicheng sat on the throne, and for the first time he found that the throne was so hot, and outside the city was the siege of Dorgon's army of more than 200,000 people; The city is also a mess, with more than 200,000 Dashun troops waiting for food and salary.

You must know that in Gyeonggi County, it is said that it is the feet of the Son of Heaven if it sounds good, and it is a place where birds do not poop and turtles do not lay eggs. After more than 100 years of turmoil in this troubled world, the thieves have just left, and the thieves have risen again. Today, the area around Gyeonggi is already full of ruins and dilapidations, and even if he digs three feet into the ground, he can't find excess grain and grass.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little dull, after several battles, everyone had seen the power of the Qing Dynasty, and knew that this imperial city could not be defended, but no one dared to speak out.

Song Xiance slowly stepped out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that more than 40,000 people led by Haoge have failed to pursue Chongzhen, and they have all returned, and they have been ordered by Dolgon to attack the south gate. ”

Li Zicheng was taken aback when he heard it, there is no worse news than this today.

Song Xiance continued: "Your Majesty, it's not too late to discuss peace at this time, wait until .." He really couldn't say the word broken city, and paused and said: "At that time, I'm afraid it will be too late, and this imperial capital is too close to the Qing Dynasty, it is the fat in the mouth of the Qing Dynasty, even if he can't eat it today, he will come back in the future, and we have to spend manpower and financial resources to defend the country for him Daming, it is really worth the loss, please make a decision as soon as possible, and when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic!" ”

The generals in the hall also did not say anything, and after a few big battles, they found that the combat effectiveness of the Qing soldiers was very strong. They were spoiled by the Ming soldiers, and the Ming soldiers were defeated with one blow, but the Qing soldiers were fierce and tenacious, so they couldn't adapt to it for a while.

Li Zicheng can bend and stretch, otherwise he would not have fallen into death several times, and he would still be able to escape alive. He thought about it carefully, the situation was not as good as others, and he couldn't tolerate himself not bowing his head, so he said helplessly: "I also want to negotiate peace, but I'm afraid that Dolgon won't agree." ”

Song Xiance saw that Li Zicheng was a little moved, and he persuaded again: "No, presumably Dolgon also wants to make peace, and he is not willing to spend time with us." ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Capital City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it is difficult to capture it, but it is even more difficult to defend it, because the Imperial Capital City is on the road that must be passed by the three parties of Dashun, Ming and Qing, and neither party wants to hold it safely."
