In the blink of an eye, the whole house was quiet, and Li Zicheng looked angry, his eyes condensed into a line, just staring at Li Yan. As for Song Xiance, he was silent, and his whole face shrank in the dark, and he seemed to have no opinion.

Only Niu Jinxing was slightly nervous, his face was blue, his lips subconsciously squirmed a few times, and in the end he didn't say anything.

When Li Yan first heard it, he was overjoyed.

This is what he has always hidden in his heart and has not dared to say. Originally, when he was in Yanjing, he wanted to ask for his life, but at that time, the soldiers and horses were nervous, and he definitely couldn't transfer manpower, and when he was in a hurry, he wanted to take thousands of soldiers from his headquarters and resolutely go south.

Henan is indeed the key to fighting for the world, controlling Guanshan and Shanxi, connecting Jifu in the north, choking Xu Huai and Jingxiang in the south, and the land of the four wars in the Central Plains, is it a lie?

Although a few years ago it was a disaster every year, and it has not recovered until now, but Henan has always been a province with a large population, and there are quite a few places that still maintain a certain number of populations, as long as the operation is successful, first all the local forces that support the Ming Dynasty will be cleaned, and then as long as the big political opponents are able to control the law, this place of four wars, the Central Plains will be narrow, and it will be firmly controlled.

When the time comes, it will be very calm to the south and the north, or to protect Guanshan.

This idea has always been in his heart, and even the closest people dare not talk about it. He has confidence in Henan, but he can't trust him now, and the generals from Shaanxi are also very jealous of him.

Now, it was Li Zicheng who personally proposed to entrust him with important tasks, and in an instant, Li Yan almost agreed.

However, the warnings relayed by the visitors from the south were in their hearts, and the changes in the imperial camp and Luo Hu's abnormality gradually came to mind...... Looking at Li Zicheng's performance again, he was connected before and after, and Song Xiance almost didn't say a word...... People like Li Yan have the ability to analyze and generalize, far beyond ordinary people, and the few people here today, the big and small things before and after, are too abnormal!

Abnormality is a demon...... As soon as he thought about it, Li Yan was also very sad in his heart, and for a short while, he almost cried out loud. With a person like him, the great cause was originally more important than his own surname and wealth.

And in this moment, he was almost certain that it would be difficult to break into the king's great cause!

This kind of thought is just lightning, and in the blink of an eye, Li Yan calmed down, he looked at Li Zicheng, shook his head and said, "The minister is not suitable." ”

"How?" Li Zichengqi said: "Lin Quan, you are from Henan, after the eunuch, there are many relatives and friends who are old and old, raise your arms and shout, Wanfu looks up to your life, there are Song military divisions here, and there are many generals, isn't it more appropriate for you to preside over the responsibility?" ”

"Yes," Li Yan said respectfully: "The minister is in Henan, and he has some old friends, but he has not been in touch for many years. In terms of prestige, the minister is only a general under the emperor, relying on the emperor's prestige, in fact, every general is the same. The minister is not suitable, because the minister has never led the army alone, no experience, on paper, the minister is about okay, but at this moment, with the minister has no experience, leading the emperor's army to go out alone, the minister is okay to die, if the emperor is bad, it is absolutely impossible. ”

"...... like this"

Li Yan's words did hit his biggest weakness. After he broke into the army, he had countless strange tricks and deep plans, and even Song Xiance was obviously inferior, not only with superb wisdom and insights, but also skilled in bowing and horses, and he also had quite a lot of men and horses under his command, and in a few years, he had already become an elite. Therefore, in the army, he has also become a major general.

But in any case, it is also true that this person has not led a large army alone. said that he was talking on paper and was not mean, but he was so humble, and he also taught Li Zicheng to really listen to it.

"Haha, Lin Quan, Lin Quan." Li Zicheng pointed at Li Yan and laughed: "You are too modest, the generals are all beaten, you have to be willing, you are not afraid to take this risk." ”

"Never." Li Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was extremely resolute: "Your Majesty, the victory or defeat of any battlefield at this time is extremely important. The talent of the ministers lies in the praise of Xiang, picking up the missing and making up for the shortcomings, and occasionally getting one, but the emperor did not think of it for a while. If the emperor does not think the minister is stupid, the minister is still willing to stay by the emperor's side and praise the military affairs. ”

"Oh, oh, since you think so, then," Li Zicheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Then Lin Quan, you should stay by your side for the time being." However, your talents, not being able to focus on one aspect, are still too wasteful. ”

"We'll talk about that later."

At this time, Song Xiance finally interjected, and said with a smile: "Lin Quan is indeed talented, but for the time being, the emperor also needs someone to praise the painting, and when he returns to Xi'an in the future, let's see it." ”

"Alright, that's it." Li Zicheng finally made up his mind and said with a smile: "Lin Quan is also a lonely loyal, that's the case." However, Henan is too unspeakable, what do you think should be done? ”

"The minister thinks that in the Jingxiang area, I Dashun occupies the four important mansions, Zuo Liangyu has long lost his sharpness, and now Zhu Ming can't command him, I heard that he is still making a fuss about sealing the prince and the marquis, Shizhen Wuchang, and he will not have any thoughts, and he will drive the martial arts to Xiangyang. In this case, there are too many soldiers and horses over there, and there is no need for this. It's better to ask the general Yuan Zong to lead 50,000 elites and go to Henan to quell the chaos, the emperor, what do you think? ”

Song Xiance has always been able to understand Li Zicheng's intentions, at this time he talked eloquently, and the arrangement of the Henan area was very precise, Li Zicheng nodded frequently when he listened, and in the end, he smiled and said: "That's it, Prime Minister, immediately write an edict, and ask the military department to use a fast horse to send it to Xiangyang!" ”

"Yes, the minister respectfully obeys the emperor's holy decree."

"Sit down, sit down!" Li Zicheng pressed it and asked the three people who stood up to sit down again, and then said loudly: "Bring the food, eat the meal, and discuss the important military affairs!" ”

After eating, Li Yan and Song Xiance chatted with each other for a while about the military arrangements, and seeing that Li Zicheng was a little in good spirits, the two hurriedly resigned first.

When he was ready to get on the horse in front of the door, Li Yan was still a little dazed, and he didn't pull out of the tense atmosphere just now, and when his own soldiers brought the horse over, Song Xiance said softly before leaving: "Lin Quan, you are really too smart to shirk your full-time responsibilities today." After today, I advise you to be more cautious and earnest. You and I are close friends, today is also the last persuasion, if there is a way in the future, it will try for you, please be patient. ”

Song Xiance's voice was extremely low, almost inaudible, and when Li Yan reacted, the fat and short figure was already sitting on the horse, surrounded by a group of pro-soldiers, and walked away.

"Ahem!" Under the moonlight, in the shadow of the moon, in the torches that gradually brightened, Li Yan's face was as pale as iron, and when he looked back, he only had such a sigh of unknown meaning!

............" Lone said that Lin Quan didn't have that much ambition. As soon as Li Yan and Song Xiance left, Li Zicheng was in good spirits, and he couldn't see the drunken appearance just now, looking at Niu Jinxing, who was depressed, he smiled and reassured: "Prime Minister, you don't have to be sad, it's not that you don't listen to you, Lin Quan, you still have to take precautions." However, after all, he is a scholar, and he is not afraid of your annoyance, and he is afraid that the scholarly anger is more than you, so there is no need to worry too much. ”

Niu Jinxing persuaded Li Zicheng to deal with it decisively this time, and dealt with Li Yan today, if it was inconvenient today, he could also come forward with his command, go straight into Li Yan's army, and kill him.

In the past, he was also very supportive of Li Yan, because they were both fellow villagers in Henan, so it was also appropriate to take care of them. However, Li Yan has always been very close to Song Xiance, and if he is about to leave, he will not buy it, and after a long time, the friendship between his fellow villagers will be very weak.

To be honest, Niu Jinxing is an ordinary person, Li Zicheng has been wandering for more than ten years, and his strategic vision is also very inferior, at this moment, who wants to pay attention to Henan? Even if troops are sent from Xiangyang in the future, it will be in the future.

It's just that there must be no rebellion inside, Wu Sangui's non-surrender, and the surrender of the Ming Dynasty also made Li Zicheng not very relieved, he was more than generous before, and he used all the generals, and he did not adapt the part, and he still used it, at this moment, looking at it, who can rest assured?

In the past, it was too much confidence, but now it is no confidence at all, and the psychology of Li Zicheng, as well as the psychology of the generals in Shaanxi who are anxious to return to Guanzhong, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance are all well aware. It's just that the former has always been based on the minds of Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin and others, while the latter, after all, has a bottom line, and everything still has to be looked at from the overall situation.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, Lin Quan said that Shanxi and Henan are very important, Shanxi is a barrier in Shaanxi, and there are dangerous passes, is the emperor willing to stay in Taiyuan, the main town of Shanxi?"

"Jiexuan has already told me, now the scholars will return to ......" Li Zicheng hesitated for a while, and finally said: "The prime minister instructed the military department, hand out urgently, and take the horse Chongxi to guard the solid pass, Zhang Tianlin to guard Datong, Liu Zhong to guard Changzhi, Taiyuan...... Called Chen Yongfu Shou, he is a good hand in Kaifeng, and he dares not to be unreasonable in Taiyuan alone? ”

"Yes, yes, the minister will go out immediately to issue an edict, and he will leave tonight overnight, and everything must be arranged properly!"

Knowing that this arrangement is very inappropriate, Zhang Tianlin and others do not have many soldiers and horses, and the Ming Dynasty generals have more elites, and Chen Yongfu is a general, who can serve him in Taiyuan? The generals of all parties have guarded their own towns, and they have not even left a candidate for the general system, so how can Shanxi be able to defend it with such an arrangement?

But after thinking about it, Tian Jianxiu was in Xi'an, Liu Fangliang was still slowly returning in Hebei, and Liu Zongmin and other generals wanted to return to Shaanxi.

As soon as he thought about it, he naturally refused to say anything offensive to people, and saw that Li Zicheng wanted to rest, so he knelt down and kowtowed, and exited the door quietly.

Outside the door, Wu Ruyi had already taken five or six beautiful women, just outside the door, waiting quietly!
