"Zhang Xianzhong, do you know who this official is?"

Zhou Ze looked coldly at Zhang Xianzhong, who was tied up like a twisted flower.

And Zhang Xianzhong snorted: "The thief who threw himself into the Tartars also deserves to let my grandfather know that if you want to kill, you have to say a happy word, don't talk nonsense here!" ”

"This official is a thief?"

Zhou Ze couldn't help but smile, but he was also a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't know how many times he heard the words of the thief, but he couldn't deny it every time.

Zhou Ze picked up a pen and paper, and attached his ear to Zhang Xianzhong: "To tell you the truth, although this official is the governor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he is actually the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zhou Ze under the command of my Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen, although you are a thief and a heinous crime, but this official can leave you a whole corpse, but you have to write a letter, a letter to persuade your four righteous sons to join the Ming Dynasty and not to be Manchu lackeys." ”

"I want Lao Tzu to help you persuade you to surrender, no way!"

Although Zhang Xianzhong was quite shocked in his heart, Zhou Ze actually said that he was a Jinyiwei, but he still didn't want to be at the mercy of Zhou Ze so easily, so he immediately snorted!

"This official knows that you Zhang Xianzhong is a hero, you can't let your righteous sons become thieves, let them belong to the Ming Dynasty, maybe there will be a splendid future, is it possible that they have fought with you for a lifetime, and you can't be a righteous father until you die?"

When Zhou Ze said this, Zhang Xianzhong was also a little moved, but immediately laughed:

"To tell you the truth, I can only write my own name, and although I recognize the words, I can't write them."

"We know it's already written for you, you just have to sign it and stamp it."

As soon as Zhou Ze said this, Zhang Xianzhong took the initiative to say: "Pen! ”

Soon, Zhang Xianzhong signed two letters and stamped them with his own seal.

Zhou Ze took the letter very satisfied, and immediately stabbed Zhang Xianzhong in the neck: "Zhou will give you a ride, because you know the current affairs, and forgive you the crime of Ling Chi!" ”

Soon, Zhang Xianzhong fell to the ground after a few whines.

"Your Majesty means only to appease Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, the four generals of Daxi, Ai Nengqi is untamable, and has been appeased by the exterminating army, for Sun Kewang, this person has always been quite ambitious, if he is willing to be attached, he can, if he refuses to be attached, he should be cleaned up by you, now you see how to arrange the next thing?"

Late at night, Li Yongxing secretly discussed with Zhou Ze in Zhou Zejun's tent.

"There is a way, if Sun Kewang is really ambitious, he will do so, if he actually has no ambition, he will take the initiative to contact Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, but then ask His Majesty to decide."

Zhou Ze thought for a long time and then informed Li Yongxing of his idea.

Early the next morning, Li Yongxing, the Jinyi guard, rushed to Jiazhou in disguise with Zhang Xianzhong's head and Zhou Ze's letter.

"You killed my father, and you dare to come to this general to appease you, it's just whimsical, come here, pull this dog thief down and behead him!"

Sun Kewang was furious on the spot when he learned that his father, Emperor Zhang Xianzhong, had died at the hands of the Qing army, and immediately threatened to kill Li Yongxing.

Li Yongxing was not afraid, and immediately shouted:

"Wait! General Sun, Li is quite sorry for Ling Zun's death, but the two countries are at war and do not kill them, now that you are gone, if you don't surrender to my Qing Dynasty, when our Lord Tai waves his troops south, there will be no one left alive! Besides, if you kill Li, it means that you will kill yourself! When the time comes, if General Li becomes the king of Chengdu, you will regret it! ”

As soon as Li Yongxing's words fell, Sun Kewang was stunned, waved his hand, and walked over and grabbed Li Yongxing's shirt:

"What are you talking about, what General Li, King of Chengdu, if you don't make your words clear today, General Ben will cut you with a thousand knives!"

"Why do you knowingly ask, who doesn't know the entire Daxi now, you and Li Dingguo are the most powerful, we don't know which of you is a wise man who intends to join my Qing Dynasty, so I sent two messengers, all the way to appease the general with the head of the order, all the way to the commander of the sword to appease the general Li Dingguo, my family of the Taida special sent the general of the expedition to the west of the prince Su Haoge Jun order, who first belongs to the Qing Dynasty, can be crowned the king of Chengdu, according to Sichuan as a feudal town!"

Li Yongxing naturally spoke nonsense in accordance with the instructions of Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

But Sun Kewang couldn't help but believe it, because now he only knew that Li Yongxing was a lobbyist sent by Zhou Ze, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi in the Qing army.

Hearing that whoever sacrifices Chengdu first will be crowned the king of Chengdu, and even divide Sichuan into a feudal town, Sun Kewang is indeed a little moved.

Even his subordinates couldn't help but quietly persuade at this time: "Master, the bait given by the Qing army is not small, and it would not be good if Li Dingguo was allowed to take the lead." ”

Sun Kewang waved his hand to shut up his subordinates, and asked Li Yongxing in person: "Why does General Ben believe you!" ”

"With Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong, Wu Sangui and other kings with different surnames, there is a precedent for me to be crowned king in the Qing Dynasty, and now the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army is imminent, and my Qing Dynasty has no time to take care of the southwest, so I can only rely on supporting an ally and brotherly country in the southwest to help and jointly resist Zhu Ming.

It's just that he will be the enemy of my Qing Dynasty in the future, and the general will have to think about the consequences! I, Prince Su, have increased 100,000 troops in Baoning Mansion, and I will go down to Shunqing Mansion in a few days, and then the general will have no chance to surrender to Cheng again! ”

Li Yongxing's words were conclusive, Sun Kewang couldn't help but be greatly moved, and immediately decided, and wrote a letter to Li Yongxing to the Qing court, Zhou Ze, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, expressing his willingness to join the Qing Dynasty, saying that he would send troops to Chengdu Mansion in the near future, and hoped that the Qing court would keep his promise and allow him to be king in Chengdu, form an alliance, and not contradict each other.

Li Dingguo here, Zhou Ze did also send an envoy, but it was not Jinyiwei's eyeliner, but Wu Sangui's old department Daniel Zhang.

However, Li Dingguo decisively killed Daniel Zhang and rejected the idea of surrendering the Qing army to claim Wang Chengdu, but at the same time began to prepare the whole army to avenge Zhang Xianzhong.

Sun Kewang will soon be sent to Chengdu here.

At this time, it was Liu Wenxiu, one of Zhang Xianzhong's sons, who refused to defend Chengdu.

"Big brother, what are you doing here, why did you suddenly come to Chengdu, could it be that Jiazhou has been lost to the hands of the Ming army?"

Liu Wenxiu did not dare to open the city gate easily, he had always been close to Li Dingguo, and he was not ashamed of Sun Kewang, so when he learned that Sun Kewang's troops were coming to Chengdu, he decisively chose to close the city and defend it, and at the same time ordered someone to spread the news to Ainengqi and Li Dingguo.

"Third brother, my father has passed away, the Qing army is pressing, eldest brother, I am worried that Chengdu is not well garrisoned, so I will bring troops to rescue, you quickly open the city gate!"

Sun Kewang found a reason and shouted urgently.

"My father died?"

Liu Wenxiu didn't know the news that Zhang Xianzhong was dead at this time, so he was very surprised to learn the news.

But when Sun Kewang took out Zhang Xianzhong's head, he was even more shocked and suspicious: "Big brother, why is the head of my father in your hands!" ”

"It was sent by the Qing army, the Qing army intends to recruit a brother, you open the city gate quickly, we will discuss it first and then talk about it."

Sun Kewang shouted.

Liu Wenxiu was suspicious in his heart, he saw that Sun Kewang was so eager to let him open the city gate, he was also a little uneasy, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the second brother?" There are also four brothers, do they know about the killing of their father? ”
