Zhang Biwu, of course, responded to Chongzhen with a magnificent statement, and he wanted to show his loyalty in this way.

Chongzhen didn't believe what Zhang Biwu said, but he had to use Zhang Biwu. So Chongzhen said, "Zhang Aiqing, can you go to Ningyuan and guard Ningyuan with Wu Sangui?" ”

This is the best thing for Zhang Biwu, of course, he immediately agreed.

At this time, some courtiers reported that Zhang Xianzhong was going to march into Yangzhou, and there were not many good generals in Yangzhou and other places, so he had to transfer good generals to guard the town, and Zhang Xianzhong could not be allowed to destroy the land south of the Yangtze River.

The land south of the Yangtze River is where the Ming Dynasty paid taxes! If it is lost, the entire Ming Dynasty will be even more difficult! Chongzhen knew the truth, and he frowned.

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he couldn't help but think of the ten days in Yangzhou before, if there was really a general who could sit in Yangzhou, he might be able to avoid everything!

Cao Bianjiao originally died in Songshan, but now he is not dead! If he is allowed to fight Li Zicheng, he may be killed by Li Zicheng! Now Li Zicheng's power is very strong, and he is no longer the Li Zicheng who was beaten by Cao Bianjiao and cried his father and called his mother!

Li Zicheng has attacked Kaifeng twice, and there will be another attack on Kaifeng, but Cao Bianjiao can't be allowed to die at the hands of Li Zicheng! Leave a useful body to resist the Qing army that will enter the Central Plains in the future.

When Zhang Biwu thought of this, he immediately stood up and said, "Zhang Xianzhong can't be despised lightly!" He must not be allowed to destroy Jiangnan! So I think the emperor should send a right-hand man! Cao Bianjiao is a famous general! He has a lot of fights with thieves, he knows himself and his opponent, if the thieves hear that General Cao is sitting in Yangzhou, the thieves will not dare to attack Yangzhou! Zhang Xianzhong didn't dare to attack! ”

Because Chongzhen showed his favor for Zhang Biwu just now, of course the ministers now want to echo Zhang Biwu.

In particular, Chen Yan and Guang Shiheng want to show that they have no understanding of Zhang Biwu, and there are many people who say that they are in favor.

Chongzhen saw that many people agreed, what did he have to say? He agreed to let Cao Bianjiao go to Yangzhou to sit down.

Zhang Biwu was originally a move to make in the future, but he didn't know what to do, but he annoyed Cao Bianjiao like this!

After Cao Bianjiao heard about it, he immediately came to Zhang Biwu to settle accounts! Originally, because Zhang Biwu failed to rescue Hong Chengchou, he was full of anger! Why let him go to Yangzhou! He would rather go to Ningyuan and Henan to fight Li Zicheng than to go to the land of fireworks, where the prosperous Jiangnan seems to be avoiding disaster.

As soon as Cao Bianjiao saw Zhang Biwu, he hit Zhang Biwu with an old punch, but fortunately Zhang Biwu's reaction was extremely fast, and he flashed Cao Bianjiao's iron fist in a flash, making Cao Bianjiao's punch miss.

But Cao Bianjiao was not reconciled, he had to continue to move forward, and he had to defeat Zhang Biwu. Zhang Biwu and Cao Bianjiao fought, and they could only win with skills, Cao Bianjiao's strength was extremely strong, and Zhang Biwu couldn't compare to Cao Bianjiao.

Huang Qi and the others saw that the fight started, of course he wanted to help Zhang Biwu, but Zhang Biwu did not let Huang Qi interfere.

Zhang Biwu and Cao Bianjiao fought for fifty rounds, and the two were evenly matched, but Cao Bianjiao had a slight upper hand, and the two were happy. It's really not a fight, I don't know each other, and the more I fight, the happier I become!

Cao Bianjiao then said to Zhang Biwu: "Zhang Biwu, why do you want me to go to Yangzhou?" Speaking of which, Cao Bianjiao couldn't hide his anger!

Zhang Biwu naturally told the truth: "Because I want to avoid a tragedy!" I know that General Cao will hate me very much! But for the sake of millions of lives, and for the sake of the future, I have to do it! ”

"Huh?" Cao Bianjiao looked at Zhang Biwu, although he hated Zhang Biwu for not rescuing Hong Chengchou, but recalling the original situation, it was really not easy for Zhang Biwu to rescue Hong Chengchou! So his anger has also disappeared a lot.

"Three years later, millions of lives in Yangzhou will all depend on the general!" Zhang Biwu said this to Cao Bianjiao very seriously.

Cao Bianjiao didn't understand why Zhang Biwu would say this, he looked at Zhang Biwu. Millions of living beings in Yangzhou? Three years later?

Zhang Biwu nodded solemnly and said, "Yes!" Then he took out a box and said, "General Cao, can you promise me that you will only open this letter in April two years later, and then look at the contents here!" At that time, I believed that General Cao would definitely believe what I said! Do what I say, you can save millions of lives in Yangzhou! Of course, in three years, you have to have a strong army to do it! ”

"There's a letter in the box? Three years? Have a strong army? Cao Bianjiao didn't understand it even more, he looked at Zhang Biwu. Zhang Biwu nodded and said, "General Cao, can you promise me?" I beg you! ”

Zhang Biwu used the word, for Cao Bianjiao, he eats soft and not hard, since Zhang Biwu has used the word, how can he not soften?

Cao Bianjiao said, "Okay! Zhang Guoxiong, I don't know what kind of mystery you are making, but as long as I, Cao Bianjiao, promise you, I will definitely do it! You can rest assured! ”

"That!" Zhang Biwu handed the box to Cao Bianjiao, but Cao Bianjiao was not polite, he let it in.

Cao Bianjiao looked at the box, wrapped it, and said with an expression of disbelief: "Don't worry!" Do you say that Yangzhou will be in real trouble in three years? ”

Zhang Biwu nodded firmly, Cao Bianjiao still smiled, he didn't say much, everything is waiting to see if it is as Zhang Biwu expected in the future!

Cao Bianjiao's last question was: "Zhang Biwu, I want to ask, if Lord Hong Chengchou dies, will you be sad about it, will you have nightmares?" ”

What Cao Bianjiao didn't expect was that Zhang Biwu replied: "Hong Chengchou will not die!" He will surrender to the Manchus! ”

"What!" Cao has become a fire! He doesn't allow anyone to insult Hong Chengchou, whom he respects! Now everyone says that Hong Chengchou is a loyal minister who has died on a hunger strike in Shenyang! Now the society has unanimously set off a trend of learning from Hong Chengchou and taking Hong Chengchou as an example. But Zhang Biwu now says that Hong Chengchou can't die, but wants to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

This is simply unforgivable! Suddenly, Cao Bianjiao was furious! He has to punish Zhang Biwu well!

Cao Bianjiao rushed over quickly, and hit Zhang Biwu with an old punch! And he saw clearly that Zhang Biwu could completely dodge, but Zhang Biwu did not plan to dodge, but wanted to face Cao Bianjiao's old fist.

"Bang", the corners of Zhang Biwu's mouth were beaten with blood, Zhang Biwu wiped it, and said: "General Cao, I was punched by you, I think you should be able to dissipate your anger!" Although I know that you are very angry that I said that Hong Chengchou has betrayed, you will never believe it! After all, Hong Chengchou is your old boss for many years, and you are born and die with him! You say nothing and don't believe that he will surrender! But facts are facts! If you don't believe me, you'll wait and see! ”

The more Zhang Biwu said that Cao Bianjiao was angry! No one can speak ill of Hong Chengchou! Cao Bianjiao was furious, he thought that Zhang Biwu was deliberately trying to belittle his boss, and he had to give Zhang Biwu a good look!

Cao Bianjiao is here as he said! Another punch wanted to hit Zhang Biwu, this time, Zhang Biwu would not fight him again. And Huang Qi and others also came up.

Zhang Biwu clenched his fists and said, "General Cao, we'll wait and see!" If it can be proved that Hong Chengchou is really loyal to the country in three months, I, Zhang Biwu, will present my head to General Cao! Cao Bianjiao was so angry that he trembled, he didn't say anything, turned around and left!

Zhang Biwu looked at Cao Bianjiao's distant figure, and he couldn't help sighing. Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou, why do you want to surrender?

And Huang Qi is complaining about Zhang Biwu, why are you joking about this kind of thing? The whole city said that Hong Chengchou had died of hunger strike! Now the emperor is praising it! The whole country takes learning from Hong Chengchou as a top priority! Everyone is full of praise when they mention Hong Chengchou! Now the Hong family is very face-saving.

Huang Qi was complaining, but Xuan Jianhao on the side was smiling, he seemed to see Zhang Biwu's intentions. He knew that Zhang Biwu had to do this, just for one purpose! I believe that this trick will be successful. That is to relieve Chongzhen's heart! Let Chongzhen's suspicions about Zhang Biwu be dispelled a little.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the awkward incident between Zhang Biwu and Cao Bianjiao has long been spread to Gao Qiqian's ears.

At this time, Bato was already in Gao Qiqian's courtyard, he received a task to find out the situation of the Ming Dynasty, and now he was treated as a guest by Gao Qiqian, of course, Gao Qiqian in order to leave a way back for himself in the future, he was courteous to Bato. Bato still uses his pseudonym in the Ming Dynasty to be hired here.

Gao Qiqian asked: "Ren Cheng, you should know whether Hong Chengchou surrendered, right?" Barto laughed and said, "Isn't there constant news?" Governor Hong Chengchou died on hunger strike for the country! ”

"Really?" Gao Qiqian still couldn't believe it. Ren Cheng said again: "Didn't General Wu Sangui send urgent information from Ningyuan, did Hong Chengchou go on a hunger strike in Shenyang? Qing kept persuading Hong Chengchou, but Hong Chengchou still didn't surrender! ”

As soon as he said this, Gao Qiqian nodded again and said, "That's what you said!" Like Hong Jiulao, who is deeply favored by the emperor, and he reads the books of sages and sages, how can he betray his ancestors, betray his father, and surrender? ”

"Humph!" Ren Cheng just sneered, and he said, "Then you ask me, is there anything important?" Gao Qiqian replied: "I heard one thing, Zhang Biwu made a bet with Cao Bianjiao, if three months later, the news came that Hong Chengchou was dead, then he would cut off his head and give it to Cao Bianjiao!" ”

"Oh!" Ren Cheng smiled and said, "Do you really think that Zhang Biwu will commit suicide and give his head to Cao Bianjiao?" ”

"Hey!" Gao Qiqian smiled and said, "No! But he'll lose face! Then his reputation will fall again and again! Everyone will think that he deliberately did not save Hong Chengchou in Songshan, so that Hong Chengchou, a loyal minister, died! Zhang Biwu has become a traitor who everyone can be punished! Of course, it's not important that everyone thinks so, the most important thing is that the emperor thinks so too! That Zhang Biwu is not dead? Ha Lu Ha! ”
