The ten days came quickly, but Li Yan and Li Zicheng didn't fight. [Phoenix/Phoenix/Update, please search] Because Tian Jianxiu pressed the time point again.

Although Li Zicheng has strengthened his offensive in the past few days, most of the tunnels have been destroyed by the official army. The attack on the city wall was strongly counterattacked by the official army, so although Kaifeng City was critical, it was still not captured.

In order to continue to drag Li Yan and prevent Li Yan from causing trouble for them, Li Zicheng sent Tian Jianxiu over again. Although they were inclined to agree to Li Yan's conditions, they had to delay as much as possible until they had conquered Kaifeng or defeated the officers and troops who had come to reinforce them. Otherwise, they would fight with the officials and soldiers, but Li Yan could reap the benefits of the fishermen as before, which is not what Li Zicheng wants to see.

"General Li," Tian Jianxiu saw Li Yan and arched his hand and said, "Tian has come to negotiate again." ”

Li Yan said lightly: "There's nothing to talk about, agree or disagree, it's as simple as that." ”

Tian Jianxiu said with a smile: "Actually, it's okay if we agree, but we must sign an alliance between the two of us." And to the world, Zhu Ming is unkind, cruel and harmful, let's serve the will of heaven to jointly raise troops to revolt, overthrow Zhu Ming, and let the people of the world enjoy peace again. ”

"This doesn't have to be." Li Yan waved his hand and refused: "If you want to cooperate, you will cooperate, if you don't cooperate, then you will fight." ”

"General Li, do you still want to step on two boats?!" Tian Jianxiu frowned and asked.

Li Yan sneered: "When I sent troops to attack the city, did anyone still think that I was a loyal minister of the imperial court?" Isn't the actual action more convincing than these vain things? ”

"Then how do we trust General Lee?" Tian Jianxiu asked again.

Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it, I'll help you defeat the officers and soldiers who came to rescue Kaifeng, what do you think?" ”

Tian Jianxiu was overjoyed in his heart, nodded and said, "Yes!" As long as General Li helps us defeat the officers and troops who come to us, our alliance will be officially concluded. Yang Wenyue's troops in Hebei may have come from your Guide Mansion and asked General Li to deal with him first. ”

Li Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not good, Yang Wenyue will return to Germany tomorrow, and the troops of Ding Qirui and Zuo Liangyu and others are still far away in Runing." If I do it now, won't it be a warning to the officers and soldiers in advance? ”

"Then what is General Lee's solution?" Tian Jianxiu asked curiously.

Li Yan explained: "Of course, it was decided by the First World War! They are going to assemble in Weishi County, and then they will march north and surround you outside Kaifeng City. Then the internal and external attacks will annihilate you in one fell swoop. This is the emperor's will. Moreover, Sun Chuanting from Shaanxi will also bring Qin soldiers over, and Liu Zeqing from Shandong will also bring reinforcements, so this is a decisive battle for you. And we can only get the most favorable result by defeating the official army in one fell swoop. ”

Tian Jianxiu listened carefully, but he didn't hear Li Yan say a useful solution. So he asked, "What about the specific method?" What is General Lee's opinion? ”

"Well~" Li Yan paused for a moment before saying, "It's just a matter of one sentence." But I'm going to say, you broke the contract again, didn't I have a bamboo basket to draw water? ”

"Kaifeng has not been defeated, and most of the other prefectures and counties have been recovered by the official army, and General Li wants to defeat it himself." Tian Jianxiu said with a smile.

Li Yan nodded: "Well, General Tian is right. However, Taikang County, Chenzhou, Dancheng County, and Xihua County are still under your control. So~"

Tian Jianxiu frowned and said, "General Li wants to get these states and counties?" ”

Li Yan nodded.

"Well, I'm going back and talking to you about it." Tian Jianxiu said: "However, how can we be sure that General Li's method will definitely be effective? ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "When the time comes, you will know as soon as you hear it, you are all old people who have fought in battle, and you will understand it when you hear it." ”

Tian Jianxiu nodded and arched his hand: "Okay, then I'll go back and discuss with you now." ”

In fact, Tian Jianxiu also knew that the key to defeating the officials and troops who came to rescue Kaifeng was how to make the tens of thousands of defenders in Kaifeng City honestly stay in Kaifeng and not come out. They had to face 150,000 officers and troops, so they had to concentrate their forces. If they fight on both sides, they will still be overwhelmed.

And they are also worried that Sun Chuanting has returned to Shaanxi, and this person and Hong Chengchou are their nightmares. Back then, I was in Shaanxi, but I beat them badly. and the rock-solid Qin soldiers under Sun Chuanting, which also made them jealous. Therefore, they must defeat the official army before Sun Chuanting leaves the customs, otherwise they may ruin the good situation in Henan again.

Tian Jianxiu returned to Kaifeng overnight and conveyed Li Yan's request to everyone. There are not so many objections in this discussion, after all, it is better to cooperate with Li Yan than to be an enemy with Li Yan.

Li Zicheng asked, "Do you have any opinions?" He waited for a while, and saw that everyone did not react, so he asked Luo Rucai, "Cao Cao, what about you?" ”

"Give it to him, give it to him." Luo Rucai said nonchalantly: "Everything that should be robbed has been robbed, and I have to cooperate with Li Yan, and it is useless in our hands." ”

Those counties were all controlled by Li Zicheng's troops, and Luo Rucai certainly had to agree to let them out. They have never occupied a single prefecture or county on a fixed basis, and if Li Zicheng is allowed to own the territory first, he feels that it is necessary to oppose it. As for wanting to snatch it from Li Yan's hands in the future, he wanted to see how many elite soldiers Li Zicheng would lose.

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Okay, then it's decided." After that, he asked Li Guo: "How is the tunnel dug in the west?" ”

Li Guo replied: "I only dug a little more than 20 zhang." The officers and soldiers are listening tightly, and there can be no big movements, and they can only pick little by little, so they have to be much slower. In ten days, we will be able to dig under the city wall. ”

Li Zicheng instructed: "Well, you tell them not to be in a hurry, dig slowly, and be sure to ensure the safety of this tunnel." During the day, the rest of the place is more disturbed, and there is cover there. As long as this tunnel is dug up, then Kaifeng City will be in our pocket! ”

Yuan Zongdi asked, "Aren't we going to cooperate with Li Yan?" Kaifeng is going to be given to him, what else are we going to do? ”

Liu Zongmin said with a smile: "If you want to let them, you will also give them a piece of white land!" This woman in Kaifeng City can cheapen him? Besides, when the reinforcements of the official army are defeated, whether or not to give them back to him will be another story. ”

Li Zicheng also nodded and said: "I'll talk about this later, now let's start concentrating troops first and solve the reinforcements of the official army." I don't believe it, how many more soldiers can the imperial court muster over? After defeating these officers and troops, Henan will be our world. Even if Sun Chuanting is here, we are not afraid! ”
