"It's very simple, recruit Zhang Xianzhong!"

Yang Qing said.

"Surrender Zhang Xianzhong?"

Lao Wang was stunned.

Instead, Chongzhen fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, recruiting Zhang Xianzhong is the simplest and most effective solution, you can follow Li Zicheng's example to seal Zhang Xianzhong as the king of Shu, and give him his current control area, but draw a boundary outside it, Zhang Xianzhong must not continue to invade the south, and make it clear that his fief must not expand outward. Then send an edict to Li Zicheng to stop the attack on Jianmen Pass, if Li Zicheng forcibly attacked, then let Zhang Xianzhong hold on, and even if necessary, the imperial court sent troops to attack Hanzhong under the banner of Zhang Xianzhong's department.

In short, it is necessary for Zhang Xianzhong to guard the Sword Gate.

Zhang Xianzhong is conducive to the position of the king of Shu, and is afraid of the imperial court and Li Zicheng's attack from the north and south, once the southern line is determined that there is no danger, then it will inevitably fight with Li Zicheng in Jianmen Pass to the end.

The result is the same as if he guarded the Sword Gate Pass and we guarded the Sword Gate Pass.

And it can allow the people of Sichuan to cultivate.

The world is not chaotic Shu first chaos, the world has been determined Shu has not been decided, since ancient times Shu is only suitable for secession, there is no Shu as the foundation can still compete for the world, so Zhang Xianzhong is not a threat to the imperial court, at most he is just a warlord.

But Li Zicheng is different.

Zhang Xianzhong's Shu is stronger than Li Zicheng's Shu, not to mention that half of Sichuan is still in the hands of the imperial court.

Unless the imperial court can preemptively solve Zhang Xianzhong and control the Jianmen Pass, this is the best way, and the imperial court is still out of reach of the whip there, and it is barely able to protect itself with Ma Gan's troops, and only take advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng to fight for Hanzhong to recapture Neijiang. If you want to solve Zhang Xianzhong, you must send a large amount of aid to Sichuan, and the imperial court will send at least 100,000 troops into Sichuan, and it must be led by a strong general, so Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates can fight a lot, but not to mention that all the armies along the Huai Line and Jiangfang cannot move, even if they can move, they must first pass Zuo Liangyu's pass.

Your Majesty can test and see, if the minister and Huang De's 100,000 army go west, will Zuo Liangyu get out of the way? ”

Yang Qing said.

Chongzhen was silent.

He really didn't dare to guarantee that Zuo Liangyu's secession had been completed, and even Huguang's taxes were intercepted, and even in some places where Zhang Xianzhong was recovered after he left, he appointed officials by himself, and the officials sent by the imperial court to Hubei were all killed on the road by bandits in vain, which can be said to be like a vassal state. Moreover, during this period of time, he recruited rebels and frantically expanded the army, shouting out that the claimed number of troops had reached 800,000, and from time to time in Wuchang to conduct exercises, hundreds of thousands of horses demonstrated, and every year from the imperial court had to take more than one million military salaries, it can be said that from Jiujiang to the west is his territory, and even Yuan Jixian, the governor of Huguang of the imperial court, had to be stationed in Jiujiang.

He tried to summon Zuo Liangyu into Kyoto several times, but he shirked it.

If Yang Qing and Huang Degong passed through Wuchang with an army of 100,000 in the name of aiding Sichuan, then Zuo Liangyu might not let Jiujiang cross, in case this army came to a false way to destroy it!

With Yang Qing, it is even more impossible.

In other words, Zuo Liangyu has to be wary of changing himself into a Liu Zeqing!

"Or let Zuo Liangyu try it?"

Yang Qing continued.

Chongzhen snorted coldly and expressed dissatisfaction with him for teasing himself.

Zuo Liangyu aids Sichuan?

Do you want him to do Huan Wen directly?

This guy has already openly divided the land of Huguang, if he gets Sichuan again, it will not be a separation, but he will directly have the strength to seize the world, and it is impossible for Zuo Liangyu to go.

He can't beat Zhang Xianzhong again!

So in this way, it is still the most cost-effective to recruit Zhang Xianzhong......

"But the sin of Zhang Rebellion!"

Lao Wang said cautiously on the side.

This is indeed a headache, burning Chongzhen's ancestral tomb to destroy the King of Chu, the King of Shu is full of doors, this crime is not inferior to Li Zicheng! Feng Li became the king because of the situation, but Zhang Xianzhong was not forced by the situation, wouldn't it be a joke if he took the initiative to surrender? Where does Chongzhen's face remain? As for the officials' opposition, they don't care, those officials should know what it means for Li Zicheng to take Sichuan, as long as Chongzhen is willing to throw this person, they won't care.

"What if Zhang Xianzhong asks to surrender?"

Yang Qing said.

"But how could he ask to surrender?"

Lao Wang said.

"It's not difficult, send someone to him first to explain the stakes, he should make the right choice, after all, with his strength, he can't resist Li Zicheng's all-out attack."

Yang Qing said.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks it might as well give it a try."

Lao Wang said.

Chongzhen nodded slightly.

Try it, try it anyway, anyway, you don't lose anything if you try it, if Zhang Xianzhong can really take the initiative to surrender, then His Majesty the Emperor is naturally magnanimous, and he can still open his eyes to this kind of lost lamb, although the King of Shu is a little too ruthless, but if Zhang Xianzhong can behave a little more deferentially, such as promising to be willing to fight for the court in the future.

That's not impossible.

The important thing is that this is really the perfect solution to the current situation.

It doesn't get any better than that.

As for Zhang Xianzhong to become bigger in the future, this is not in Chongzhen's consideration, no matter how much he develops, it is impossible for him to develop to the point of Li Zicheng, as long as he can defeat Li Zicheng in the future, Zhang Xianzhong is just a dish in that corner of Sichuan, just like Yang Qing said, there are warlords at most in Sichuan, and there is no one who can still compete for the world based on Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong's development prospects are not at the same level as Li Zicheng.

"Then who will you send?"

Lao Wang said.

"Your Majesty, there is a candidate for the minister."

Yang Qing suddenly remembered Gu Yanwulai.

"Who?"

Chongzhen said.

"Gu Jiang, the supervisor of the country, met him because of the matter of Fu Que before, and this person is quite talented and knowledgeable, it is better to leave this matter to him, his Kunshan Gu clan is the same as Gu Xichou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites."

Yang Qing said.

"Are you trying to ......?"

Chongzhen immediately understood what he meant.

This matter needs the support of the ministers, but Chongzhen still can't say it clearly, if Gu Yanwu is allowed to be this secret envoy, it means that Gu Xichou knows, and it is equivalent to other ministers in the court knowing, of course, it is impossible for Chongzhen to let Gu Yanwu go, it can only be that he doesn't know anything, Yang Qing is looking for Gu Yanwu, the ministers just know it, and those ministers will definitely contribute to this matter, for them to recruit Zhang Xianzhong and let him block Li Zicheng, then there is no need to worry about Li Zizheng's law Kublai Khan, Such a free thug is undoubtedly a good deal.

Then as long as Gu Yanwu negotiates, as soon as Zhang Xianzhong's envoy arrives, it will be completely logical here.

"I'll leave this matter to you!"

Chongzhen finally made a decision.

The matter was decided in this way, Yang Qing immediately retired and left the palace, and after returning to the wolf's den, he got a somewhat unexpected news, Huang Shu ran away, this guy is very self-aware, and immediately found an excuse to leave Nanjing after impeaching him, it is said that he went to Wuchang, he was the Imperial Procuratorate Inspectorate Huguang to supervise the imperial history, and Zuo Liangyu has a close relationship, and it is obvious that he will not have to worry about Yang Qing's retaliation when he runs to Zuo Liangyu's territory.

Of course, this is not very useful.

Yang Qingcai didn't believe that Zuo Liangyu would fight against Jinyiwei in order to protect a sesame official like him, even if he fled to Wuchang, he had to be arrested, and then Yang Qing arranged for a team of Jinyiwei to go to Wuchang to arrest Huang Shu.

He doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters.

Lord Yang returned after inspecting a circle, and as soon as he returned to his Earl's Mansion, he saw a carriage stopping in front of the door, and then a handsome boy walked out of the carriage, standing there with his hands in his hands, looking up at the four big characters of Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion on the door with disdain, and then a young girl followed down from the carriage, looking at it in a white fur package, just like Li Qihong's version of Guo Xiang, and walked to the handsome boy with a tender and sweet face.

"I don't want to be a peerless beauty, but I fell into this filthy place!"

The boy pretended to sigh very much.

"Hou Lang, we are visiting the door!"

The girl whispered as she tugged at his sleeve.

"Is this place of gelding a place where we gentlemen set foot, and if I didn't want to see the round and beautiful face, I would never come to this door as a guest? What qualifies a gelding to make me a guest, ah! ”

The handsome boy screamed.

At the same time, a meteor hammer struck him on the ass, and he threw himself forward with a scream, and a dog shit-chewing poop pounced on the steps.

"It's true that Tamar can pretend to be forced!"

Yang Qing in the back withdrew the meteor hammer and said disdainfully.

The girl screamed, and immediately rushed to the side of the boy to help him up, fortunately, Yang Qing was still merciful, the meteor hammer was just thrown at random, otherwise he would have to be beaten up, but even so, because his mouth was on the steps, not only was his mouth full of blood, but also two of his front teeth were missing, lying in the girl's arms and covering his mouth and making a heart-rending scream, and soon the blood stained the girl's fur red.

"Why do you hurt people for no reason!"

The girl hugged him and shouted to Yang Qing with tears in her eyes.

"Hurting someone for no reason? He was in front of my house in front of my house, a steding dog, I beat him lightly, I didn't send him to Beiya to let him taste the pear blossom pestle is already generous enough! ”

Yang Qing said speechlessly.

The girl was speechless.

"Ah, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, help......"

The boy screamed like he was breaking down.

"Quick, quickly carry Hou Lang into the car and go directly to He Langzhong!"

The girl hugged him and shouted to the coachman behind her.

Yang Qing coughed.

The coachman who was about to step forward subconsciously glanced at Uncle Zhongyong, and quickly stopped and pretended not to hear, saying that this is the head of the Jinyi guard, the legend kills people without blinking, feeds the prisoners to the wolves every day, and can stop crying at night in Nanjing.

"It's just a little skin, two teeth are missing, and you're still a man, are you still breastfeeding with this injury?"

Yang Qing said disdainfully.

The girl gave him a hateful look.

"What is the name of the little lady?"

Yang Qing asked.

"The slave family doesn't dare to defile the ears of the lord!"

The girl said coldly.

Then she held the boy and tried to stand up with difficulty, but the latter was obviously broken, holding her mouth there and screaming, plus the tail vertebrae were presumably fractured, and she immediately screamed like a pig on the board, and collapsed directly on her weak body, and at once she fell backwards......
