Yang Sichang's careful arrangement played a decisive role, and his soldiers successfully arrived in Taiyuan Fucheng and sent Yang Sichang's letter to the governor's yamen.

It was Gu Junen who received Yang Sichang's handwritten letter.

Gu Junen's status in the rebel army is second only to Li Zicheng, not only because Gu Junen has followed Li Zicheng for many years and put forward many decisive opinions and suggestions, but also because Gu Junen has extraordinary ability, and he is very low-key in doing things, giving all the light to Li Zicheng, and always maintaining Li Zicheng's image.

After carefully reading Yang Sichang's letter, Gu Junen instinctively sensed that this was a huge trap.

But in a short period of time, Gu Junen couldn't find out the problem in this trap, after all, according to Yang Sichang's request, as long as Li Zicheng did it, he could have an official title and become the prince of the Ming Dynasty, occupying a large area of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan alone, as if he was the emperor of this large area.

Such a huge temptation, Li Zicheng couldn't refuse it at all.

Although he has Li Zicheng's complete trust, Gu Junen does not dare to hide such a major matter, it is like he is helpless when he sees Li Zicheng about to jump into the quagmire.

Gu Junen knows Li Zicheng too well.

Governor's Yamen, wings.

Li Zicheng looked at Yang Sichang's letter, and the expression on his face was uncertain.

After reading the letter, Li Zicheng did not speak immediately, and was silent for a full quarter of an hour.

"Mr. Gu, what do you say I should do?"

Gu Junen's face had no expression, in fact, his heart was sad, he had already sensed that Li Zicheng was tempted, in the past, Li Zicheng would not think and be silent for such a long time, he would have opened his mouth to ask. And thinking for so long before he spoke, it shows that Li Zicheng has already made up his mind in his heart.

But what should be said Gu Junen still has to say, silence is not his character.

"King Chuang, I think this is a trap set by Yang Sichang, no, it should be said that it is a trap set by the Ming Dynasty."

Li Zicheng looked at Gu Junen. There was no interjection.

"Zheng Jiajun has occupied Shaanxi for many years, its power is very strong and stable, if the righteous army rashly attacks Shaanxi, whether it can win is uncertain, more importantly, the righteous army is likely to completely offend Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun, if Zheng Xunrui leads Zheng Jiajun to attack Shanxi and Henan and other places on a large scale, it is very unfavorable for the righteous army......

Gu Junen really wanted to mention Zhang Xianzhong, the once tough Zhang Xianzhong. was completely wiped out by Zheng Jiajun, and Zhang Xianzhong himself was also killed by Zheng Jiajun, although Li Zicheng's strength is far stronger than Zhang Xianzhong, compared with Zheng Xunrui, who occupies a large part of the south, his strength is still obviously insufficient.

angered Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun, and the rebels were likely to kill themselves.

After Gu Junen finished speaking, Li Zicheng slowly spoke.

"Shaanxi is my hometown, and I have been away from my hometown for so many years. It's always uncomfortable not to be able to go back and see. ”

Gu Junen chuckled in his heart. His face was not so calm and calm.

"King Chuang, this matter is too important, let's think about it carefully before making a decision......"

Li Zicheng didn't lose his temper, he knew that Gu Junen was for the good of the righteous army, and attacking Shaanxi was an extremely important decision, which was related to the future development of the righteous army. Of course, to be able to occupy Shaanxi unexpectedly, this is also Li Zicheng's wish, after all, his hometown is in Shaanxi's rice fat, just imagine how pleasant it is to be able to return to his hometown to see.

It's not that Li Zicheng hasn't thought about it seriously. Zheng Jiajun in Shaanxi is not much, its focus is still in the south, Shaanxi is just a stronghold of Zheng Jiajun in the north, so many years have passed, because of the strength of Zheng's army, the righteous army almost did not fight with it, but this does not mean that there will be no fight in the future, the righteous army will always have to face Zheng Jiajun.

Li Zicheng could almost conclude that once Zheng Xunrui completely stabilized the situation in the south, he would attack the north in a big way, and at that time, the rebels would also have to face Zheng's army.

This condition put forward by the imperial court has the mentality of shifting the target and sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, which is also because the imperial court is too weak and unable to deal with the current situation.

Power and honor are the two things that are Li Zicheng's lifeblood, and being able to be canonized as the king of Dashun by the imperial court, to be able to occupy Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places, and to be recognized by the imperial court, that is the temptation that Li Zicheng cannot refuse.

I know it's a trap, I'm afraid I'm going to jump into it.

"Mr. Gu, it is precisely because of the importance of the matter that I specially discussed it with you, thinking about how many failures we experienced when we started the army, and it is not that we have survived to this day, now that we have the strength, if we hesitate to do anything, like a little woman, then how will we develop in the future."

"Let's talk about Zheng Jiajun, sooner or later we will have to face Zheng Jiajun, I know that Mr. Gu, you have something to say, just say that this Zhang Xianzhong was also exterminated by Zheng Jiajun, if I can't make a good decision, will the end be the same as Zhang Xianzhong, don't you say I also thought about it, whether we wait until Zheng Xunrui handles the affairs in the south and take Zheng Jiajun to attack us, or take advantage of this opportunity to take the initiative to attack Shaanxi and get benefits, such a decision is not difficult to make."

"In the whole north, the richest is Shaanxi, if we can take Shaanxi, we will be able to get a lot of money and supplies, and at that time, even if the Zheng army comes to attack, we will have to rely on." ……

Li Zicheng talked eloquently, but he didn't talk about the canonization of the emperor and the court, which was embarrassing to bring it up directly, Gu Junen could think that once Li Zicheng was canonized by the court as the king of Dashun, his status with Zheng Xunrui would be about the same, if the two sides fought, it would be infighting, and Li Zicheng would also be able to get some support from the emperor and the court.

Maybe when the time comes, the righteous army is very likely to unite with the imperial army and deal with the Zheng family army together.

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, Gu Junen sighed slightly, he couldn't stop Li Zicheng from making a decision, so he could only try to get a favorable environment for the righteous army.

"What King Chuang said is that I didn't think about it so far-reaching, but just relying on a letter from Yang Sichang, I think it's still inappropriate to let King Chuang make such a big decision, in other words, the righteous army took Shaanxi and defeated the Zheng family army stationed in Shaanxi, what if Yang Sichang doesn't admit what he said before."

Li Zicheng nodded, this point must be considered.

"Mr. Gu, what do you think should be done?"

"It's very simple, King Chuang must get the emperor's promise, so that he can guarantee that he gets what he deserves."

"Well, yes, then please ask Mr. Gu to write back and explain our requirements, as long as Yang Sichang can meet our requirements, we can start attacking Shaanxi, but before that, the righteous army must make all preparations, I consider letting Liu Zongmin lead 200,000 troops to attack Shaanxi, I don't believe that the Zheng family army stationed in Shaanxi is so powerful that it can defeat the righteous army."

After Li Zicheng made up his mind, he did not delay at all, and began to plan how to fight.

Gu Junen's heart is very unpleasant, in terms of combat effectiveness, the righteous army is not as good as the Zheng family's army, this is a fact in front of him, but what Li Zicheng said is also reasonable, it is at this time, even if the righteous army does not provoke the Zheng family's army, after the people kill the north in the future, they will not have the slightest politeness.

Stretching out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, it is better to fight, maybe it will develop in a good direction.

"King Chuang, should I go directly to the Zhending Mansion in Beizhili and discuss with Yang Sichang face-to-face."

Li Zicheng waved his hand again and again.

"Mr. Gu can't leave Taiyuan, lest I have difficulty making a decision on anything, since Yang Sichang sent his own soldiers to deliver the letter, I also sent the soldiers around me to deliver the letter, this conversation is not much necessary, we put forward a request, if Yang Sichang can do it, then we will do it according to the agreed requirements, if Yang Sichang can't do it, then we will meet each other, I can't hold it back, if it weren't for the Zheng Jiajun and the Houjin Tartars, I would have killed Xiangbei Zhili a long time ago."

Gu Junen's face regained a calm expression, power and ** This thing is really harmful, King Chuang thinks of the honor and interests that are about to arrive, but I don't know if he can get such honor and interests, no one can say clearly, the righteous army occupies most of Shanxi and Henan, and it is impossible for the Zheng family army stationed in Shaanxi to be indifferent, and they must be prepared accordingly.

Li Zicheng made up his mind, Gu Junen could only do what he asked, considering the possible dangers in all aspects, and asked Li Zicheng and the righteous army to fight for the best situation.

"King Chuang, the matter is too important, it is appropriate for me to go in person, since the Ming court has such an idea, then there is not much danger for me to go to the Zhending Mansion in Beizhili."

Gu Junen insisted on his own opinion.

Li Zicheng fell into contemplation again, and sent Gu Junen to negotiate, of course he was relieved, but Gu Junen's role in the righteous army was too important, if there was any mistake, it would be a huge loss.

Before Li Zicheng could make a decision, Gu Junen spoke again.

"King Chuang, the emperor and the court have regarded Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun as the biggest danger, they can't wait for us and Zheng Jiajun to be enemies, in this case, Yang Sichang has regarded us as an indispensable force, I went to Zhending Mansion to negotiate, which can arouse the attention of the emperor and the court......"

Li Zicheng nodded, and finally made up his mind.

"Mr. Gu, you must be careful, I will send you the personal soldiers around you as your escort, no matter what the result of the conversation with Yang Sichang is, you must come back safely."

Gu Junen nodded and did not speak. (To be continued.) )
