Li Yanduan sat in front of the desk in the camp tent, holding a copy of the Song Dynasty Zhao Gong's compilation of "Beimeng Tartar Records", which was during the Jiading period of Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, when Zhao Hui went to Hebei to discuss the Mongolian army, and recorded his observations during the envoy period. The whole book is divided into countries, the beginning of the Tartar lord, the name of the country, the princes and kings, the generals, the prime minister, the military administration, the horse administration, the grain, the conquest, the official system, the customs, the military uniform and equipment, the envoys, the sacrifice, the women, the Yanju dance music, etc., Li Yan's good historical books, especially at the moment, this book gave him a deep feeling.

"Did you really tell the emperor?"

On the bed on the side, the red lady is rubbing the sword in his hand, he has been in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, learned a swordsmanship, if he was not desperate, he would not have embarked on this road, but he did not regret it, because he met Li Yan, this suave and suave man, Li Yan is all her pride.

Li Yan looked at the book, nodded, and responded, what should be said, he must say that the Dashun Dynasty is now in the autumn of critical survival, if he keeps silent repeatedly, the future of the Dashun army is undoubtedly bleak, two months ago, they still went all the way out of Shaanxi, along the way only one Ningwu Pass slowed their pace, and they did not spend much cost to break through the capital of the Ming Dynasty - Beijing City.

It's just that I didn't expect that happiness came so suddenly, and happiness came after tragedy, first because of the fruitless surrender of Wu Sangui, the Great Shun Army went eastward, a stone battle, and the 200,000 Great Shun Army was completely lost, if Li Zicheng did not rely on the brothers of the old camp to fight to the death to get out of the encirclement, he would have ended up in the bloody field, although they were defeated, but it does not mean that they can not come again, what he didn't expect was that Li Zicheng actually gave up the city of Beijing, the meaning of which is equivalent to giving up with the entire Hebei, Li Yan is very opposed, But with Niu Venus trying to do this, he has no choice.

Now the Dashun army is busy returning to Shaanxi, Dingzhou is just a place for them to be temporarily stationed, even Shanxi has to give up, this is Li Yan did not expect, after Hebei lost, they have lost the initiative, now if even Shanxi is not wanted, then the next Shaanxi can be kept, and Li Zicheng only brought his own Dashun army headquarters people, those surrendered Ming troops are with them left, this is equivalent to the enemy, Xuanfu, Datong, Juyong and other hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, as well as hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Beijing, said to lose it, Looking back, if these people threw themselves under the banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, then they would be powerful enemies, the border army of the Ming Dynasty has always been elite, this is well known, and Li Yan also doesn't know what these people are planning.

"You mean it's happy, but have you ever thought about how many people you have offended with this opening, and those people will let you go, he Li Zicheng is not Tang Taizong, he will be able to tolerate you, Wei Zheng, if he is really Tang Taizong, he will not lose Beijing City like this, and he fled in a hurry after only one day on the throne, and he has created a great miracle throughout the ages!" The red lady also continued to say at the moment, he was not afraid of anything to Li Zicheng, the reason why he followed Li Zicheng was entirely because of Li Yan, she had persuaded her at the beginning, it was better to set up her own door, but Li Yan disagreed, she had to go to Li Zicheng, at the beginning Li Zicheng really valued Li Yan very much, but with the entry of Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen and others, Li Zicheng began to alienate Li Yan, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, as for the reason, it is naturally worried about the high merit and the master.

"Death to a confidant! The emperor has been kind to me, these years to me obedient, how can I know that Dashun is in danger, still pretending to be deaf and dumb, I have already said what should be said, as for how the emperor disposes, it is not for me to reverse, if the emperor can wake up, Dashun still has a chance to make a comeback. ”

"I'm just afraid of it! Now the Manchu Tartars have entered the customs and occupied the city of Beijing, not long ago, I got the news that those courtiers of the Ming Dynasty supported the third son of Chongzhen in the south, Zhu Cijiong, the king of Chongzhen, as the new emperor, and the general Cao Bianjiao was in charge, but they have a blood feud with us, how can they not be our enemies? ”

"The general is the auxiliary government, it seems that the wind direction of the Ming Dynasty has changed, if the civil ministers are in charge, according to the temperament of those civil ministers in the Ming Dynasty, nine times out of ten they are to protect themselves by the Huai River, and they dare not go north lightly, but if the generals are in charge, they belong to the radical faction, and they will definitely make some moves, and the generals will not fight, where will the merits come from, the situation is indeed critical!" Li Yan couldn't read it anymore, threw the book aside, frowned, and fell into endless worry.

"This Cao Bianjiao is really a lonely hero, compared to Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin, you think about it, at that time, hundreds of thousands of our horses were stationed inside and outside Beijing, and as a result, he quietly robbed the two Ming Dynasty princes, and we didn't know the news until they ascended the throne in Nanjing......"

"Brother Li... Just when Li Yan and his wife were chatting, Song Xiance broke into the camp tent in a hurry, pulled Li Yan and said: "Brother Li, it's not good, when I just went to the emperor's dragon tent to report the military situation, I heard a news, the emperor listened to Niu Jinxing's slander, the eighteen main artifact I offered at the beginning, Niu Jinxing is on your head, the emperor is ready to send someone to attack you, and wants to execute you secretly, how is this good?" ”

When the red lady heard this, she also raised her sword and said: "My husband and wife have done their best for him Li Zicheng over the years, and he has never had a second heart, why is he so unkind and unkind, and he actually wants our lives?" ”

"Madam, since the emperor became the emperor, his temperament has become suspicious, coupled with Niu Jinxing's good authority, he has always felt that Brother Li is a threat to him, and he has long wanted to squeeze you out, this time Brother Li is outspoken and dares to admonish, Niu Jinxing is not making a big fuss, the emperor has been so pleasing to him, anything is possible!" Song Xiance was also very chilled, after he got the news, he immediately rushed to report the news, he couldn't watch Li Yan and his wife killed.

"Thank you, Brother Song! My husband and wife followed the emperor to fight in the south and the north, but I didn't expect to end up like this, the emperor let us die, as soon as we died, I also saw through it, life and death are fate, don't force it! Li Yan sat there dejectedly, he really didn't feel anything other than bitterness.

"Confused! Brother Li is in the prime of life, is it not necessary to give up his talent, Dashun will not keep you, as well as the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, even if you have no intention of pursuing a career, returning to your hometown to teach and educate people is also a merit, it is much stronger than you giving your life so hastily, even if you don't care about anything, what about Mrs., can you watch her die with you? ”

"Brother Song's lesson is that for this kindness, I, Li Yan, thank you, take care!" Under the guidance of Song Xiance, Li Yan also came to his senses, he could die, but he couldn't affect his family, so he died like this, he was liberated, but he let his family follow him to the difficulty, which is also something he is unwilling to do.

"What Song Junshi said is exactly, let's leave here immediately, we have done our best, what happens to him Li Zicheng, it depends on the will of God, let's go!" The red lady also echoed, he had long wanted to leave, but Li Yan had been unable to let go of the burden in his happiness, and the current situation was extremely critical, which just fulfilled them.

"Let......'s go" Li Yan also made up his mind, and he didn't care about packing up at the moment, so he left with the red lady, only taking more than 100 people from their headquarters and going directly to the south.
