Li Zicheng pondered for a moment, and then said with a serious face: "Uncle, although Li Guo said too much and was unreliable, there is one thing that we really have to do. ”

Speaking of this, he said solemnly: "Instead of waiting for someone to come to the door, it is better for us to take the initiative ourselves." Only we have enough troops in our own hands to deal with the civil strife in the city, or against the Mongols outside the city, or ......"

He turned his head to look at Li Hou before continuing: "If you want to make great contributions, it is essential to be valued by the imperial court. ”

Gao Yingxiang listened, and nodded with the same serious face. He himself was even more worried about the situation in the city. In fact, I also had such a thought in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't have come to discuss with Li Zicheng.

Originally, he thought that even if he could win in the battle in the city, there were still so many Mongols outside, although he felt that it was not a problem to break out of the encirclement, but it would be too difficult to get rid of the Mongols and find a stable place to stay.

At this time, Li Guo said that, although it was so mysterious, it gave him a good way out, and in terms of believing it or not, deep down in his heart he wanted to believe that it was true. What's more, Li Guo has said so much, if he is really making things up, it seems that he will not say it so well!

In addition, Li Guo's previous performance also made him trust, and naturally there are plus points in it.

He was thinking about this, but Li Guo had already come back to his senses, and then said with a somewhat serious face: "Just now the emperor told me that his request is to settle the Hetao in a war, so he is transferring the elite of the border troops from all over the country, and it is estimated that the assembly time will take three days." Let us hold on and wait for the arrival of the imperial army. ”

When Gao Yingxiang heard this, he gasped and said: "It will take three days to assemble, doesn't that mean that the border armies from all over the country may participate in the war, and the troops will not only be in Yansui and Datong?" ”

Li Guo said a little excitedly, nodded and said: "Well, the emperor decreed that anyone in all localities who neglects and delays the military situation will be severely punished." King Hongyan commands the elites of all places, even the governors of the three sides, and he must also obey this will, and there must be no disobedience! ”

Originally, the king of Hongyan had the strength of a town, and he beat them tens of thousands of horses and horses to flee in embarrassment, if the elites of Qin and Jin in the pass were all under his command, wouldn't it really be possible to succeed with the combat strength of the Mongols?

Thinking so, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Li Guo looked at each other, and they didn't speak for a while.

After a long while, Li Zicheng was surprised and admired: "The emperor seems to be younger than me, but he has such courage, isn't he worried about what to do if he loses the battle?" ”

"That's why I want King Hongyan to lead it!" Li Guo took over the topic and said, "Moreover, Liaodong just won the battle, and the emperor also mobilized the Guanning army to cooperate, which can almost be said to be the result of the mobilization of the Jianyu army, and no one dares to be passive and slack off." ”

Li Zicheng's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately asked Li Guodao: "Do you know what you said about the war in Liaodong?" ”

Li Guo thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "I probably understand, I saw the photo!" ”

Although he didn't know what the photo meant, Li Zicheng didn't care, and immediately asked: "Then tell me about the war in Liaodong?" ”

When Li Guo heard this, he didn't hesitate, and immediately started to talk about the information he got from those photos. Although it is not possible to be as detailed as personally participating. But those photos are coherent, and at least they can describe the whole battle.

After Li Zicheng listened carefully, although he still thought it was too unbelievable, he still turned his head to Gao Yingxiang and said, "Uncle, I think what Li Guo said should be true." Otherwise, with Li Guo, he would not be able to make up such a thing as the war in Liaodong. ”

When Li Guo heard this, he didn't wait for Gao Yingxiang to speak, and responded dissatisfiedly: "I said that I would guarantee with my head, why don't you believe it all the time!" ”

Gao Yingxiang's own judgment is similar to Li Zicheng's. Confirming that what Li Guo said was true, he suddenly became excited, and couldn't help waving his hand: "Then let's sum up what to do next!" ”

In today's city, no one can have an advantage by relying on their own forces. Li Zicheng thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Let's find Brother Shen Yikui first......

When they discussed, Emperor Chongzhen was actually a little worried. According to Li Guo, the city is already in chaos. If one of them is not done well, let alone last for four or five days, it is very likely that the army in the Guannai is still gathering, and the Naturalization City will be broken. If that was the case, although Emperor Chongzhen was not worried that the army would not be able to defeat Lin Dan Khan, if Lin Dan Khan led the main force to run away, the threat to the Hetao Plain would be too great. After all, it is impossible for the army to be on guard day and night in the Hetao Plain.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was really unsafe, so he contacted Sun Chengzong through Liu Wang's family, and after discussing it for a while, he decided to put the matter of Jianyu aside first, and sent Cao Wenzhao to lead the Guanning cavalry from the eastern grassland. As long as the main force of Lin Dan Khan is annihilated in Guihua City, the northern territory of the Ming Dynasty will be stable for many years, and the reclamation of the Hetao area will make the Ming Dynasty's ability to resist disasters stronger. With such an opportunity, it is necessary to gamble no matter what.

As for the front line in Guanning, the rich and rich are watching, even if Jianyu attacks with a large army, Guanning's side can get the news in advance and prepare early.

Now the key to the grassland battle is still on the side of Naturalization City. As long as Guihua City can hold out until the arrival of the army, even if it can't be combined inside and outside, as long as it is still attracting Lin Dan Khan to attack the city, with the news of Li Guo, it should also be able to hit Lin Dan Khan hard.

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and then contacted Li Guodao: "Find a way to pacify the naturalized city as much as possible to resist the Mongols, and don't let the Mongols break through the city." In addition, the Mongols could not be made to abandon the siege. You have to try to win over as many allies as you can to achieve this. As long as you make a contribution in this battle, I can allow you a guerrilla to garrison the Hetao in the future and create more living space for the people of Qin and Jin! ”

Emperor Chongzhen's promise at this time immediately gave Li Guo a booster, and he couldn't help but reply excitedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my uncle is more good at planning, he is thinking of a way, he will definitely be able to." ”

Hearing that Li Zicheng was thinking of a way, Emperor Chongzhen was a little relieved. can leave a name in history, but it is not a mediocre person, let alone Li Zicheng, who overthrew the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt a little awkward! Overthrow yourself? Hehe, that's another plane!

Suddenly, a chamberlain's voice sounded in the hall: "Your Majesty, Liu Chengzhi, the eunuch of the Palm Seal of the War Bureau, requests to be seen!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, this should be a good thing, right?
