"Dog's day Dolgon! I, Moli, swear here, that one day he will cut you with a thousand knives and break your corpse into thousands of pieces! If you slaughter the people of my city in the Daling River today, I will destroy your whole people in the future!! ”

On the field of the Mo Family Military Academy under the Seven Star Towers of Kaifeng Mansion, Mo Li's head was wrapped in white silk, his eyes were red, he pulled out a long knife and pointed straight at the sky, and the corners of his mouth bit out the bloodstains, and said word by word.

The sky was drizzling with a cool north wind, and it was bleak.

The icy raindrops and the cold wind kept blowing on Mo Li and the soldiers of the three armies, but no one trembled.

All the soldiers tied white silk to their heads, tightly held the bright swords and guns in their hands, quietly looked at Mo Li on the platform, followed their governors, and swore loudly: "Slaughter my people and destroy your whole clan!" If you offend me in China, you will be punished even if you are far away!! ”

With extremely heavy grief, the Mo family army killed Zhangde and Huaiqing, and poured out the resentment in their hearts to the Dashun army.

Mo Li also ordered all the soldiers and civilians in Huguang to mourn for the soldiers and civilians killed in Dalinghe City for seven days, during which all entertainment activities and wedding celebrations were stopped.

Ten days later, the Mojia army successfully recovered Zhangde and Huaiqing, killed Yuan Zongdi and left, and joined Wei Hong of Lingchuan in victory.

At the same time, the Lu army led by Zhu Dadian also recovered Shunde, Dongchang, Daming and other places, and connected with the area controlled by the Mojia army.

And Li Zicheng retreated all the way to Taiyuan, and the soldiers of the Houjin Eight Banners are said to have chased to Zhending and the area between the rivers.

At this time, Li Zicheng was quite embarrassed, the army was pursued by the Jin soldiers all the way, and he was so killed that he lost his armor and abandoned his armor, and he was disgraced, completely lacking the momentum and majesty when he entered the Beijing Division, and only cared about fleeing with his tail between his legs.

In the south, the Mojia army has risen strongly, aggressive, and has captured many of its own territories one after another, and the front has been directed at Taiyuan.

After thinking about it, after discussing with his subordinates, Li Zicheng decided to give up even Taiyuan and withdraw directly to Xi'an, intending to set the capital in Xi'an.

After the death of Emperor Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou of Xi'an finally couldn't resist the attack of the Dashun army, and led people to surrender to the Dashun army, and the area around Xi'an has been completely controlled by the Dashun army.

Li Zicheng's plan was to give up the territory of Taiyuan and Pingyang to the Mo army, anyway, the Jin soldiers are now moving south in a big way, and they are in hot pursuit, so let the Mo army resist the Jin soldiers. And he just needs to ensure that the territory west of Xi'an is in his own hands, originally his original plan was just to be the king of the northwest, and he didn't want all the rivers and mountains of Chongzhen.

It's a pity that Chongzhen died to save face, and he refused to compromise, so he "accidentally" captured Jingshi.

For this reason, Li Zicheng continued to retreat to Xi'an, and at the same time sent people to contact Moli, hoping that the two families could temporarily abandon their previous suspicions, cease fire and shake hands, and unanimously resist the southern invasion of the Jin soldiers.

After receiving the news that Li Zicheng had sent an envoy to negotiate peace, Moli convened a special high-level meeting to discuss the matter of making peace with Li Zicheng.

In the newly recovered Zhangde Mansion, generals such as Mo Li, Guan Feng, Cao Bianjiao, Cao Wenzhao, Ma Jinzhong, He Zhenbei, and Xiao Yang, as well as Dongfang Jin, Li Xin, Chen Yan, Lu Chentao, and other staff members, sat together and discussed the current situation.

Dongfang Jin spoke first: "My lord, my subordinates think that Li Zicheng's move is not a wise move, he and our ceasefire can avoid many losses, and it is extremely beneficial to both families, everyone can focus all their energy on defending against the southern invasion of the Tartars, and there is no need to spend more energy on both defenses." ”

"It's good that a ceasefire is good, but whether Li Zicheng can be trusted or not has to be cautious in this matter." Guan Feng also said.

Cao Wenzhao said angrily: "My lord, Li Zicheng is a traitor who captured my Ming Jingshi, * Death Emperor Daxing, his crime should be punished!" Moreover, at the end of the true determination, thousands of brothers were lost to the hands of the traitors, and the brothers did not avenge their great revenge, how could they accept peace with the traitors! ”

When Cao Wenzhao joined the army, there were less than 7,000 of the 15,000 men left, and his vitality was greatly damaged.

After the defeat, although Moli did not reprimand him for losing his troops and losing Shanhaiguan, in Cao Wenzhao's heart, the more Moli tolerated him, the more he felt sorry for Moli's trust, and even more sorry for the dead brothers.

Therefore, he desperately wanted to kill Li Zicheng to avenge his brothers.

Li Xin shook his head and said, "General Cao's words are wrong. My lord, my subordinates believe that the traitor Li Zicheng * died Emperor Daxing, although his crime should be punished, but at this moment, the Tartars invaded the south, if we can cease fire with Li Zicheng at this time, we can avoid the risk of suffering from the enemy, and compared with the Tartars who have lost their conscience, the subordinates feel that they should first destroy the inhumane foreign Tartars! As for Li Zicheng and his ilk, they can wait until the Tartars are expelled, and then clean up. ”

Ma Jinzhong also nodded and said, "Not bad!" Mr. Li is right, the Tartars are our worst enemy! It's just that if we negotiate peace with Li Zicheng at this time, I'm afraid that the Nanjing group will take advantage of the topic to play! This has to be guarded against. ”

"My lord, we have recovered most of Henan in a short period of time, which is gratifying, but it will also spread the stall bigger all of a sudden, we must consolidate these places, in order to be advantageous, as the saying goes, rice should be eaten one bite at a time, with our current strength, it is not appropriate to continue to expand the territory, otherwise I am afraid it will be difficult to digest, but it will be counterproductive. So, a ceasefire with Li Zicheng is much more beneficial for us at the moment. As for Nanjing, I believe that adults have their own way. Dongfang Jin said meaningfully.

"Mr. Dongfang is right, our stall is a little big at the moment." Mo Li nodded and said: "If the situation is chaotic today, the Tartars are menacing, and we will inevitably confront the Tartars now, of course, we will never be afraid of the Tartars, if we want to say that we are afraid, we are afraid that he will not come!" However, our energy and strength are limited after all, and if we cannot consolidate the rear, the decisive battle with the Tartars will inevitably be constrained.

Therefore, people should be down-to-earth, step by step forward, if the step is too big at once, not only will it be easy to fall, but also easy to pull the egg. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Li paused for a moment and said lightly: "Actually, Li Zicheng didn't have any good intentions, he said that he was willing to let Taiyuan and Pingyang out, hehe!" It's not that you want us to help him stop Huang Taiji's pursuers! ”

He Zhenbei also nodded and said: "Yes, the last general got the news that Li Zicheng would actually continue to retreat westward, that is to say, he had no intention of defending Taiyuan at all!" It's embarrassing to say that Taiyuan and Pingyang are the conditions in exchange for a ceasefire with us, hum, it's really funny! ”

"Therefore, we can't cease fire with the traitor Li Zicheng! As the saying goes, if you go outside, you must first settle inside, my lord, we can't be used as a gun by Li Zicheng! Cao Wenzhao said excitedly.
