"Lord Wang, the regent sent someone to send an urgent express again, ordering us to continue to chase after the remnants of Dashun, without hesitation, otherwise, if Li Zicheng is released, he will be severely punished." In Anguo County, dressed in a full costume, although there is still hair on his head, it has been completely disrupted, and Wu Sangui, who was so reluctantly tied to his head, heard Hu Guozhu's words.

There was a burst of anger in his heart, and he kicked the case in front of him to the ground, and said, "Continue to chase, really fucking Lao Tzu as a pig and dog, when I was in Shanhaiguan, I promised to do well, saying that after they entered the customs, they would re-support the Ming royal family to inherit the throne, and Shanhaiguan was enshrined as the hereditary place of my Wu family, and now it's good, Tartar is Tartar, a group of white-eyed wolves, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, now there is nothing except the name of a prince, not only that, but also let me take my brothers to chase Li Zicheng desperately, You can't stop for a moment.

It's been so long, their Tartars are reaping benefits in the back and occupying territory, but our brothers are so tired that they don't look good, if it weren't for me Wu Sangui still has some prestige, maybe I would have been defeated by Li Thief by now, hmph, how can there be such rules in the world, you all listen, now give me an order, let the brothers all rest well, when to rest, on the march. ”

Hearing Wu Sangui's words, the generals who were originally indignant in the tent suddenly had a look of approval on their faces, and then left the big tent.

"Lord, this can't work, you must know that now is not like before, now the Manchu people are powerful, if we don't listen to the order, they will have enough reasons to deal with us, when the time comes, we will be very passive, although now our strength has reached 50,000, but in addition to more than 10,000 people are with us single-minded Guanning Iron Cavalry, the rest are just surrendered to our forces, if the Manchu Qing want to deal with us now, I am afraid that these wall grass, one by one, will turn against each other." Seeing Wu Sangui's absoluteness, Hu Guozhu suddenly said anxiously.

"Hahaha, Brother Hu, you can rest assured, the more I am like this, the more it will be fine, I Wu Sangui is a benchmark for their Manchu people, before the world is completely pacified, the Manchus will not deal with us, they also need us to help them fight against all forces, if it really forces me, it's a big deal for us to turn around and take refuge in others, so it's nothing to disobey military orders from time to time, on the contrary, if I keep chasing and killing like this, it will be us who will be unlucky at that time." Wu Sangui said.

Hearing Wu Sangui say this, Hu Guozhu was not persuading, after thinking about it, Hu Guozhu opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Wang, I don't know what you think next, is it a few days off, we are continuing to attack the Dashun army, if this is the case, the subordinates will raise grain and grass as soon as possible, and the baggage has been greatly used." ”

"No, no, no, it's impossible to fight this battle here, if it continues, it's likely that we should lose our troops, so, after a while, you go down and let everyone build a defense as soon as possible, which has been used in the future." Wu Sangui said.

"Ah, my lord, are we stopping here, but how to explain to the regent when the time comes, besides, now that the Dashun army is about to be defeated by us, wouldn't it be a pity if we stop like this." Hu Guozhu said.

"Hehehe" Wu Sangui chuckled, and then said, "Brother Hu, when it comes to plotting, I am not as good as you, but this march and battle, you are a little worse than me, you must know that the reason why we have been able to chase the Dashun army and Li Zicheng all the way from Shanhaiguan seems to be their unremitting blow, but this is not how powerful we are, or how sloppy they are, you should see from the battle of Shanhaiguan, if it weren't for the appearance of the Manchus later, Li Zicheng was caught off guard, I'm afraid I've been dead for days now.

Therefore, the reason why we can have the current achievements is that we are caught off guard, and the internal command of the Dashun army is also unfavorable, which gives us a chance, and now, after such a long time of fighting, I am afraid that the Dashun army has now been on guard, and it is impossible to take advantage of it, so in addition to the strength of the Dashun army is still much stronger than ours, if we attack rashly, it will definitely be us who suffers, so the best countermeasure now is to respond to all changes with the same, as for the order of Beijing City, Leave him alone. ”

Just when Wu Sangui was making the next decision, in the Shunde Mansion opposite, Li Yan was making a speech to Li Zicheng.

"Your Majesty, now I have lost the city of Beijing, and the city of Xi'an has also fallen, so, the top priority should be to find a base place, according to Weichen's view, the best base now, should be Henan as the most, first of all, most of the soldiers of our army are people from Henan, and they are familiar with the land of Henan, secondly, Henan is the place where my Dashun army has been operating for a long time, both materials and troops have a certain reserve, and finally, Henan is close to the land south of the Yangtze River, if the form of the north changes greatly in the future, we can also calmly retreat to the rich land of the south of the Yangtze River, to prepare for a later counteroffensive. ”

Hearing Li Yan's words, Li Zicheng's one-eyed suddenly lit up, you know, Li Yan's words can be regarded as saying that his heart is in trouble, if it is usual, Li Zicheng will still have scruples about Li Yan in his heart, but now in this kind of crisis, Li Yan's words have made Li Zicheng have a direction again.

"Okay, what Li Aiqing said is right, since this matter was raised by Li Aiqing, then this matter will be handed over to you to handle, you will go to Henan first, deal with everything, and I will lead the troops to stay here first, and make the next goal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust, and will definitely run Henan well and do all the backup work for Your Majesty." Recognized by Li Zicheng, Li Yan suddenly said excitedly that since the attack on Xi'an, this is the first time that Li Yan has been recognized by Li Zicheng.

Seeing Li Yan's situation like a spring breeze, there was nothing else in the hall, and even most of the generals and officials were still full of hope for Li Yan, but only one person's face was full of nervousness, that is, the prime minister in the Dashun army who was under one person and above ten thousand people, Niu Jinxing.

Since Niu Jinxing did not lead troops to support Li Zicheng in time, and then put forward a series of stupid moves to withdraw from Beijing City, Li Zicheng is not as optimistic about Niu Jinxing as before, although Li Zicheng did not leak it on the surface, but Niu Jinxing has already noticed it, especially seeing that now Li Yan has regained Li Zicheng's recognition, which is a very dangerous signal for a team that relies on Li Zicheng's favor and has a foothold in Dashun State.

Therefore, after everyone left, Niu Jinxing stayed alone and said to Li Zicheng, "Your Majesty, you must not let Li Yan go to Henan, otherwise, the consequences will be extremely dangerous, and my Great Shunguo may be destroyed because of this!" ”

For Niu Jinxing, Li Zicheng is very contradictory, in the past, Li Zicheng was very trusting of Niu Jinxing, who was resourceful and good at figuring out his own mind, otherwise it would be impossible for him to serve as prime minister, but after the stone battle, Niu Jinxing was like a different person, faint trick fell out, first gave up supporting himself, so that he lost the plan to resist the Manchu army, and then persuaded himself to give up Beijing City, thus losing most of the army's heart, and actually retreated all the way here, so, Now Li Zicheng is very reluctant to see Niu Jinxing.

But hearing Niu Jinxing's words, Li Zicheng's heart jumped suddenly, after all, where were Niu Jinxing's past political achievements, and now he is talking like this, there must be a certain reason.

"Oh, then you should tell me, if Li Yan is tens of millions of Henan, how can my Dashun Kingdom be destroyed." Li Zicheng said.

"Your Majesty knows that Li Yan once said that if he gave him 20,000 military horses, he would be able to completely pacify Henan, you know, Henan was still a puppet Ming court period, although the people continued to suffer from famines, but their hearts still yearn for the Ming Dynasty, Li Yan was able to speak like this at that time, which shows that his foundation in Henan.

Moreover, in Henan, most of the military and civilian people only know that there is Li Gongzi, but do not know that there is His Majesty, if His Majesty really goes to Henan by him, what will happen in the future, I'm afraid no one knows, but according to the news from Weichen's inquiry during this time, Li Yan has been suppressing his affairs during this period of time, divided into grievances, and even once again after getting drunk, he once said that if it wasn't for him back then, His Majesty would still be just a rogue, how could there be such an achievement now.

Your Majesty, it can be seen that Li Yan has long been disobedient to His Majesty, but unfortunately, he has never found a chance, and now the opportunity has come, if His Majesty sends him to Henan at this time, can he stabilize Henan, not to say, Weichen is afraid that Henan will no longer belong to my Dashun! "In order to fight Li Yan, Niu Jinxing can be regarded as going to do everything, anyway, as long as it is not good for Li Yan, but Li Zicheng is most afraid, he will say it.

After listening to Niu Jinxing's words, Li Zicheng was speechless for a while, Li Zicheng did not believe Niu Jinxing's words, but Niu Jinxing's words made him have a trace of doubt in his heart, that is, what did Li Yan think, for Li Yan's prestige in Henan, momentum, Li Zicheng is very understanding, it was precisely because of Li Yan that he Li Zicheng was able to grow and develop rapidly, and then, it was Li Yan's planning all the way that led to the current Dashun Army, Dashun State, although Li Zicheng also remembered Li Yan's merits in his heart, But if Li Yan really took advantage of this opportunity to stand on his own, it would not be something he could bear.
