In the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army outside the southern city, Li Zicheng had already slept, but he had taken care of his own soldiers, and if a Ming army envoy visited, he would wake him up immediately.

He was dreaming that he had returned to Xining, and was entering the back office of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and a group of Yingying Yanyan's wives were about to welcome him home, but he was woken up by He Xiaomi, "Dadu Governor, someone is coming over there!" ”

"Ao," Li Zicheng rubbed his sleepy eyes, quickly got up in his clothes, finished dressing, and said, "Let him come in!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!"

After a while, He Xiaomi returned to the big tent, followed by a black-clothed night pedestrian, only showing his eyes blinking in the candlelight, and when he saw Li Zicheng, the black-clothed man bowed his hand, "Governor!" ”

"You ......" He Xiaomi pressed the handle of the knife with his right hand and said angrily: "When you see the Metropolitan Governor, how dare you not kneel?" ”

Li Zicheng waved his hand to stop He Xiaomi, but said to the man in black: "I have the same identity as you overseers, you are just a messenger, do you not bow down when you see your overseer?" ”

"This ......" The man in black was speechless for a moment, frozen there, not knowing what to do.

"Forget it, don't care about these false courtesies, sit down," Li Zicheng generously pointed to the small horse on the opposite side and said, "In the Ming army, what is your identity?" ”

"The villain's name is Wang Yongxiang, and he is a general under the Overseer!"

"General?" Li Zicheng said in his heart, this Hong Chengchou, the secret meeting is the most confidential thing, he does not send civilian staff, but sends military generals, although he immediately thought that since it is a secret meeting, it must be done obscurely, among the staff, there may be people such as the prison army, or military generals are good and intimate, so he said: "What do you have to say about the overseer?" ”

Although Wang Yongxiang was sitting upright, showing respect for Li Zicheng, his mouth was tentative: "The Overseer came to ask the villain, who does the Heavenly Mandate Army belong to?" Why rebel against the imperial court? ”

"I am Li Zicheng, the governor of the Heavenly Mandate Army," Li Zicheng smiled on his face, the Heavenly Mandate Army has occupied Longyou, and Hong Chengchou's army has already fought fiercely, so there is no need to hide it, "As for the reason for the rebellion, I think you should have understood, it's not to eat enough?" ”

"This ......" How can Wang Yongxiang not know which of these thieves in Shaanxi is not to be able to eat a full stomach? If it weren't for the drought that lasted for several years and the crops were not harvested, how could there be so many thieves?

Killing endlessly, one after another, one is not even, and one is rising.

It is really like the grass in the mountains, "the wildfire cannot be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows"!

"Don't talk about that, what does Lord Hong mean?" Li Zicheng is reluctant to make extraneous branches, and he can understand this with a military general? Even if you understand it, what's the point? Can he let the imperial court provide disaster relief and feed all the victims?

Yang He wanted to appease all the thieves through disaster relief, but this way of "only feeding the victims and not considering long-term livelihood" is destined to just drink to quench his thirst!

In the court of the Ming Dynasty, who really cared about the victims in Shaanxi? The court is like this, the emperor is like this, what can you do if you let a general?

"The Overseer cherishes talents, and hopes that the Metropolitan Governor will accept Zhao'an, accept the reorganization, and serve the imperial court," Wang Yongxiang saw that Li Zicheng was not angry, so he arched his hand and continued: "With the talent of the Grand Governor, if he submits to the imperial court, his position will never be lower than that of the villain......"

This is indeed a bit tempting, not only does not pursue the guilt of rebellion, but also gives high-ranking officials generous benefits, and can also glorify the ancestors!

Li Zicheng didn't know if Song Jiang in the Great Song Dynasty couldn't resist the temptation because of this, so he tried his best to resist public opinion, regardless of the opposition of all his brothers, and resolutely asked to accept the court's recruitment, and even sent the "prodigal son Yanqing" to use a beautiful man trick against the emperor's lover Li Shishi!

However, for Li Zicheng, such a promise is not tempting.

Da Ming will soon be finished, and he will stake his life, future, and ambition on a big ship that is broken, leaky, and about to sink, and a fool will do this!

Moreover, when he came to the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng not only opposed the Ming Dynasty and had a good future for the brothers around him, but he also had his own ideals, which became stronger and stronger after coming to Xining, and now they are deeply imprinted in his blood.

The Han people in the border areas, every time there is a war, they will be forgotten by the imperial court, and these Han people who have accepted the idea of sages are weaker than the nomadic people.

Either killed by nomads or assimilated by nomads.

Therefore, he not only wants to overthrow the imperial court, but also to establish a Chinese regime dominated by Han people, and defend the interests of the Han people, even if it is "Han nationalism", it is better than the "little daughter-in-law" who is angry!

Parents officials, parents officials, what parents can be indifferent when they see their children being bullied by others?

What he wants to take is a road to defend China, and even more so, a road to defend the interests of the Han people.

Therefore, in his mind, it is not only necessary to destroy the Ming Dynasty, but also to completely destroy the Mengyuan and Manchu Qing dynasties, and permanently solve the northern border troubles of the central country!

Thinking of this, he smiled at Wang Yongxiang and said, "If you let your family overseer join the Heavenly Mandate Army, will he be willing?" In the battle of Guguan, the Mandate of Heaven army won a complete victory, how could the losing side surrender the victorious side? ”

Wang Yongxiang's face turned red, but he refused to fall behind, "Governor, although we are defeated, we have sufficient food and grass equipment, and there is a steady stream of reinforcements, maybe tomorrow...... Reinforcements will arrive! ”

Li Zicheng did not budge, "Believe it or not, if it weren't for giving Lord Hong a chance, we would have taken Longzhou today!" ”

Wang Yongxiang also knew that the morale of the Mandate of Heaven Army was strong, and even the Overseer said that if the Mandate of Heaven Army continued to attack the city, at most two hours, Longzhou would fall, he wiped the fine beads of sweat on his head, and said: "What does the Metropolitan Governor mean ......"

"It's very simple, you and I, we have reached a secret truce agreement, and I can let Lord Hong go back!"

"Secret armistice?" Wang Yongxiang said: "Since ancient times, officers and thieves have ...... It is simply impossible to come to an agreement! ”

"You don't understand this," Li Zicheng despised him, that is, the brains of military generals, "Since Gu, smart generals are all self-respecting thieves, once the thieves are killed, what is the use of military generals?" ”

"This ......" Wang Yongxiang's eyes rolled around, and finally said: "The agreement that the Metropolitan Governor said ......"

Li Zicheng said secretly, better than a pig, and a little brainy, "With Longshan as the boundary, don't hate each other, don't attack each other!" ”

Wang Yongxiang hurriedly shouted: "This is a land cut, the Overseer will not agree, and the court will not agree!" ”

"I might as well tell you the truth, the Mandate of Heaven Army has occupied Longyou, Xining, Gansu and other places, if you don't agree, sooner or later I will fight Longshan and invade Xi'an, at that time, I see how Lord Hong will explain to the imperial court?"

"Lord Overseer controls the entire army of Shaanxi, and with hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, how can he allow the Mandate of Heaven Army to do evil......

"What about a lot of people?" Li Zicheng waved his hand to stop Wang Yongxiang from continuing, "In the battle of Guguan, I only used 2,000 soldiers, and the Ming army suffered tens of thousands of casualties - I know you have reinforcements, but apart from losing troops, what else can Lord Hong do?" After a pause, he said, "Could it be that Lord Hong is willing to be the second Yang He?" ”

"This ...... The villain can't call the shots, and the villain must go back and report to the Overseers......"

"Lord Hong will agree, you can tell him what I said," Li Zicheng threw out another bait, "If we can coexist peacefully, the Mandate of Heaven can also assist you in destroying the thieves!" ”

Wang Yongxiang just shook his head, Li Zicheng's words were too appalling, "Metropolitan Governor, I'm afraid this won't work, the paper can't contain the fire, the imperial court will find out about the Heavenly Mandate Army sooner or later, how will the Overseer deal with himself at that time?" ”

"Since the agreement is to cooperate, I naturally leave a way for Lord Hong," Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "Lord Hong is in charge of Shaanxi for one day, and the Heavenly Mandate Army will definitely not go east to Longyou, how can the imperial court know about this side of the matter?" ”

"If the Overseer is transferred out of Shaanxi......"

Li Zicheng said in his heart, they are all transferred, Shaanxi is still about your? "If Lord Hong is high in the future and leaves Shaanxi, no matter what the Mandate of Heaven Army does, it will be the business of the next governor of the three sides, and Lord Hong will not be aware of it at most, and it is not a big crime!"

Wang Yongxiang felt that Li Zicheng's words had some truth, but he always felt that something was wrong, this matter was too strange, he didn't dare to judge himself, and he had to repay Hong Chengchou.

Li Zicheng didn't force it, so he said: "If Lord Hong doesn't know my good intentions and refuses to coexist peacefully with the Heavenly Mandate Army, my Heavenly Mandate Army will definitely go east to Longshan, cooperate with other thieves, and set off a wolf smoke in the whole of Shaanxi, who can bear me?" ”

Seeing that Wang Yongxiang was silent, Li Zicheng continued to threaten: "Even if I let Lord Hong leave Longzhou today, but at that time in Shaanxi, thieves were making trouble everywhere. ”

"This ......"

"Go back and tell Lord Hong that if he is sincere, I will definitely not go east to Longshan, he can continue his great cause of suppressing bandits, and I can even help him clear some thieves," Li Zicheng's face turned pale, and he said: "If you refuse to cooperate with me, not to mention that Longzhou is not guaranteed, in case I take Xi'an and disturb His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I don't know how Lord Hong will explain to the court and the emperor?" ”

Wang Yongxiang didn't say a word, but kept wiping the cold sweat on his face.

Li Zicheng continued: "Cao Wenzhao's Guanning Iron Cavalry has suffered defeat in Guguan, the infantry is gone, and the cavalry has lost more than 30%. ”

"The Governor ......"

"That's all I have to say, but at the discretion of Lord Hong," Li Zicheng picked up the teacup and prepared to send off the guests, "After dawn, we will attack Longzhou with all our might, and your envoy should go back early and meet Lord Hong!" ”

Wang Yongxiang had no choice but to return to Longzhou overnight and ask to see Hong Chengchou.

But then, he went out of the city again, met Li Zicheng, and repeated this three times, before dawn, between the Mandate of Heaven military and the Shaanxi Ming army, a secret agreement was reached:

First, the Mandate of Heaven Army maintained its territory west of Longshan and was not allowed to march eastward;

Second, the Mandate of Heaven Army and the Shaanxi Ming Army do not attack each other, and they are not enemies of each other;

Third, the Mandate of Heaven Army must maintain stability in its territory, not to regenerate incidents, not to assist or shield thieves, and when necessary, to assist the Ming Army in Shaanxi to exterminate the thieves who are advancing westward.

Li Zicheng originally wanted to add an article to the agreement, that is, to keep the business route unblocked, but he gave up after thinking about it, Hong Chengchou is in charge of Shaanxi military affairs, and he may not be dedicated to the business road, if he proposes the business road, he will show his lifeblood under Hong Chengchou's nose.
