Searching Li Yanbu, it can be said that Li Zicheng is extremely negligent, and Li Yan's subordinates are all dissatisfied with this.

Li Zicheng was waiting for the results, and the searchers came to report to Li Zicheng and found a letter from Zhang Biwu and Li Yan, in which Li Yan was bound to save Zhou Yuji.

Niu Jinxing was laughing, because this letter was not written by Zhang Biwu, but Niu Jinxing asked him to copy it, and when his henchmen copied Li Yanbu, he pretended to copy it from Li Yan, as if this hit Li Yan.

Li Zicheng looked at the contents of the letter over and over again, and he was already furious! He ordered: "Remove Li Yanzhi from his post as general and division of the right army!" At the same time, send someone to Lingbao to capture Zhang Biwu to the army! If Zhang Biwu dared to resist, Liu Fangliang would send troops to exterminate him! And Tian Jianxiu in Guanzhong also sent troops to destroy him together! ”

Niu Jinxing was proud in his heart: "Zhang Biwu, don't think that I don't know the way!" You have no intention of joining my lord! And you are walking with Li Yan again, you are very dangerous to my lord! I let my lord destroy you sooner, and I will be faithful! And if Lin Quan is suppressed, then he will never be able to threaten my position again! The head of civil officials can always only be my bull Venus! ”

Li Zicheng waved his hand and motioned Niu Jinxing to go down, he wanted to be alone and quiet. Niu Venus retreated.

The next day, Li Yan and Li Mu were invited to Li Zicheng, in fact, it was more appropriate to say that the bet was held.

(Note: I searched a lot of information, and I saw that some of the information wrote that Li Yan's younger brother was Li Mu, and some wrote Li Nian, or Li Yu.) There is even information that Li Yan and Li Mu are the same person! It is also said that there are four Li Yan brothers, and the eldest brother Li Lun studied martial arts in Yuanwu and was elected as a tribute student. The second brother Li Zhonghua is a big bright, a tribute student of Hanoi Academy. He practiced martial arts with his younger brothers Li Yan and Chen Zuoting. Third brother Li Jun...... Studying and practicing martial arts at a martial arts school...... As for whether there is Li Yan in history. Or whatever. Let's not discuss it! In my book, Li Yan's brother is written as Li Mu. ）

Niu Jinxing looked at the two Li Yan brothers proudly. He was waiting for Li Zicheng's words, what kind of expression would Brother Li Yan have at that time?

Li Zicheng spoke: "Li Junshi, you have worked hard! If it weren't for the fact that you personally led your troops to attack Ning Wu, you wouldn't have been able to kill Zhou Yuji so quickly! Alas! It's a pity, Zhou Yuji is a fierce general, I want to take him for myself! It's a pity that he died fighting for Chongzhen! ”

"What!" Niu Jinxing was shocked in his heart, didn't Li Zicheng want to punish Li Yan? Why did he change his mind now? It is said that the Son of Heaven has no jokes, and Li Zicheng will be the Son of Heaven in the future. Did he change his mind? Something must have happened to make Li Zicheng change his mind. What is it exactly? Niu Jinxing was waiting for Li Zicheng to tell him the reason.

When Li Yan and Li Mu left, Li Zicheng left Niu Jinxing behind, and when he saw Niu Jinxing's confused appearance, Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Prime Minister, loneliness can't be unfavorable to Li Yan!" After all, there is no evidence! And ......" Li Zicheng threw a report to Niu Jinxing.

Niu Jinxing looked at it, and he couldn't believe it: "Zhang Biwu gave us both Shaanzhou and Lingbao?" Let our army occupy these places? This, this is his lair! How could he retreat so simply? When we used to see him retreat, we didn't believe it! But now he'......"

Li Zicheng said: "Yes! Now that Zhang Biwu has withdrawn from the land of Lingbao, in this way, Tongguan will be safe! The safety of Chang'an can be reassured! Moreover, we have newly broken Ningwu and can go straight to Datong. Jiang Xuan, the commander of Datong, sent someone to ask me to surrender. If I delay Zhang Biwu's matter again, it will make Jiang Hao change his mind! Now is the time to rush to Yanmen. Occupy Shuozhou, go straight to Datong! Then to Xuanda, then to Juyongguan, and finally to Beijing! ”

Niu Jinxing understood, Zhang Biwu withdrew from Lingbao, so that Tongguan was no threat, and at the same time, Jiang Liang's surrender arrived, and the Li Yan brothers were capable ministers in the army, and their status was extremely high, at this critical moment, Li Zicheng would not punish them. On the contrary, I want to comfort them alive, after all, even Zhou Yuji's body has not been found now, so it is right to assume that Zhou Yuji is dead!

Zhou Yuji's matter is still small, and it is most important to take Beijing as soon as possible and seize the country. Niu Jinxing knew this, and he also admired Li Zicheng's thoughtfulness, no wonder Li Zicheng would change his mind in one night.

Niu Jinxing immediately said, "Yes! Break through Beijing first, this is the top priority! Even if Li Yan and Zhang Biwu have rebellious thoughts, they will tolerate them first, and they will wake up when they know that there is a lot of tolerance under His Majesty, and they will be grateful for the great virtue of His Majesty! ”

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Okay!" You can help me settle the matter of searching Li Yan's barracks! Don't let Li Yan hate me! Go ahead! Niu Jinxing retired.

Li Zicheng pointed his hand in the direction of Beijing and shouted: "Beijing! Lonely is coming! Chongzhen, you and I have been fighting for more than ten years, this time we should be able to distinguish the winner and loser, right? I don't want you to escape to Nanjing! As long as you don't flee to Nanjing, you will break through Beijing alone, although Jiangnan is big in the future, you will not have to go through many battles to pacify the world! This is what is beneficial to the people of the world! ”

What Li Zicheng didn't expect was that Zhang Biwu did not retreat to Nanyang with his men, but instead arrived not far from Ningwu, and he looked straight at Li Zicheng's overwhelming men and horses marching eastward.

Don't look at the time when Li Zicheng first started his expedition, there were a lot of men and horses, but every time he captured a place, Li Zicheng divided troops to garrison it, so he would have fewer people and horses to reach Beijing.

Zhang Biwu looked at the army in the distance, he always felt sad in his heart, although Chongzhen had repeatedly harmed him, but now he was facing Chongzhen about to die, he did not gloat, and there was a sense of melancholy and grief in his heart.

Zhang Biwu couldn't help but remember that he had read history books before, and Zuo Liangyu didn't listen to Chongzhen during Chongzhen's lifetime, and he was still working against Chongzhen. But after Chongzhen's death, he missed Chongzhen very much, and every day he sighed about Chongzhen's death and his inability to fulfill his duties as a minister. Maybe people are so strange, when they are still alive, they feel nothing to him, and when he dies, there is always a kind of nameless sadness and longing.

Li Jun looked at Zhang Biwu and said, "General Guoxiong, I never expected you to come here!" General Zhou Yuji, I have brought it to you safely! It's a pity that General Zhou Yuji's wife and others couldn't save each other, and they all set themselves on fire! General Zhou Yuji was seriously wounded......"

When Li Jun said this, he stopped talking, after all, it was difficult to save Zhou Yuji from coming out, and it was impossible to keep him from being injured.

Zhang Biwu thanked Li Jun: "Thank you!" General Lee! You go back and tell my brother that if I go to Beijing, I hope he can help me!" And I want to remind him that as soon as the Dashun army arrives in Beijing, the military discipline will be bad, and the people of Beijing will suffer at that time! This will also lay the root of the defeat of the Dashun army! ”

Li Jun was stunned again and said, "General Guoxiong, are you really going to Beijing?" This time......" Li Jun looked very embarrassed.

Zhang Biwu naturally saw that this time he had caused trouble for Li Yan, if he hadn't ordered him to withdraw from the Lingbao in advance and let Li Zicheng rest assured, the fate of both him and Li Yan would have suffered misfortune.

Zhang Biwu said: "I have already told my brother that I came to Beijing to repay my kindness!" Even if it is known to people, so that my head falls to the ground, or what kind of difficulties I suffer, I will also go to Beijing City! ”

Zhang Biwu knew that because he was a Ming general, he went to Beijing without being called, and he would be misunderstood and wanted to save the Ming royal family. But now I can't take care of so much, Zhang Biwu wants to rescue Princess Kunxing!

Although he knew that Princess Kunxing would not die in this catastrophe, what he wanted was to sneak into the palace first when Beijing fell, and not let Chongzhen cut off Princess Kunxing's arm! Let Princess Kunxing exit the Forbidden City safely and soundly. This can be regarded as Zhang Biwu's most protective of Princess Kunxing!

Zhang Biwu came to see Zhou Yuji, he looked at Zhou Yuji and didn't make a sound, Zhou Yuji also turned his head to the other side, ignoring Zhang Biwu, he was hating Zhang Biwu, and dragged Li Zicheng for what was not in Lingbao. If Zhang Biwu dragged Li Zicheng to death when Sun Chuanting was defeated and retreated to Tongguan, the situation would have changed!

Li Zicheng could not enter the Qin land, so he could not establish the national name, let alone occupy Shanxi, and then go east to Beijing to seize the world and destroy the Ming Dynasty. It is for these reasons that Zhou Yuji is particularly annoyed by Zhang Biwu.

Zhang Biwu said to Zhou Yuji: "General Zhou, I know that you must be very angry with me, why didn't you drag Inspector Sun in Lingbao when Li Zicheng broke Master Sun, so as to let Inspector Sun relax!" What I can say is that I can't drag it out, I only have more than 10,000 people, and Li Zicheng has hundreds of thousands of troops! What's more, the emperor has repeatedly harmed me, I don't have the idea of loyalty to the monarch like you, all I have is that if you are good to me, I will be good to you! The countryman will report it to my country's soldiers, and the dung will be repaid by my dung! There are clouds in the spring and autumn, the king treats the ministers rudely, and the ministers do not seduce foreign countries to attack, even if it is a good return! ”

Zhou Yuji still didn't say anything, he didn't agree with Zhang Biwu's explanation. Zhang Biwu can also see that it is not easy to eliminate the anger in Zhou Yuji's heart?

Zhang Biwu said: "General Zhou, what I can say is that it would be great if Chongzhen could escape to Nanjing, I have already given him a copy of the book and asked him to hunt south to Nanjing quickly." But can he listen? Alas! If you don't listen, the city of Beijing is broken, and Chongzhen can only be martyred. ”

"The Tartars will defeat Li Zicheng and enter Beijing and occupy Beijing, so that our Han people will fall, and all we can do is to compete with the Manchus! Do you know the truth? The Manchus had already sent someone to wait for Li Zicheng on the way east, and had sent a letter to Li Zicheng! ”

"Alas! The other party has calculated it, but Li Zicheng has not calculated it! Ha! Thought the Manchus would be afraid of him? Don't dare to march? As soon as the Manchu Qing Dynasty marched, Li Zicheng was defeated, and the entire country would fall into the hands of the Hu people! I only hope that General Zhou can help me!
