Li Zicheng said again: "Guoxiong has ventured here, you have to think of a good way to help Guoxiong!" We must let Guoxiong return to Henan safely! As long as Guoxiong returns to Henan, it will be extremely beneficial to us! Once you've made a strategy, I'll do it! And I can tell you that I will do my best to help Kunixiong defeat Azig entrenched in Xiangyang! ”

Of course, Song Xiance and the others knew what they said, so they answered yes together, and then they went down with Zhang Biwu.

Just now, Niu Jinxing was quietly looking at Li Zicheng secretly, and always felt that Li Zicheng's words were not credible, but Niu Jinxing pretended to have nothing on the surface.

Li Zicheng smiled at Niu Jinxing, when Li Zicheng retreated all the way to Wuchang, Niu Jinxing had a time when he wanted to escape, he almost went to put it into practice, just because he suddenly heard that Zhang Biwu defeated Zhai Sangwu and killed the two brothers Zhai Sangwu and Fei Yangwu, he knew that if Zhang Biwu was in Henan, they would be able to drag the enemy, Li Zicheng would not be defeated, he could not abandon Li Zicheng and go, so he did not go.

Li Zicheng didn't know the little Jiujiu in Niu Jinxing's belly, he still thought that Niu Jinxing was the most loyal person to him, he didn't have any doubts at all, and he was still a confidant like before!

Li Zicheng asked: "Mr. Niu, you are my confidant, and among all the ministers, I trust you the most!" What do you think Zhang Biwu will do if we let us attack Azig together? ”

Niu Jinxing replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, the minister said bluntly, if we attack Azig together, although we can win, we can't destroy Azig." You can't occupy all the land of the lake! Zhang Biwu's strength is relatively weak. He's not going to really fill his head. It's just going to make us the big guys! And Azig also knows this, he will definitely defeat our army first, at that time, it will be our two tigers fighting, Zhang Biwu will sit and reap the benefits! ”

Li Zicheng kept nodding his head, Niu Jinxing saw this, he was very happy! What he said had touched Li Zicheng's heart, and he was constantly speculating about what Li Zicheng was thinking. So as to vote for what Li Zicheng wants, this is how he gets Li Zicheng's favor!

So Niu Jinxing continued: "Our army has been defeated by the Qing army in a row, although it has recovered slightly! But if you really want to fight the Qing army again, it will be difficult to win! Even if he relied on the divine martial arts under His Majesty to cause a great victory, it was a great loss! Now that we are far away from Guanzhong, the people of Huguang do not really support us, their hearts are still towards Nanming, and from time to time they say that they are from the Ming Dynasty! We don't have a mass base in Huguang, and this is our biggest difficulty! ”

Niu Jinxing then sighed and said, "Especially when our hundreds of thousands of troops are just for food. Naturally, it greatly harmed the people on one side, and the contradictions intensified even more! ”

Li Zicheng knew that his army was dissatisfied with the people in the Wuchang area. Every word Niu Jinxing said was to the point.

In order to survive, his hundreds of thousands of horses disregarded the people and did a lot of things that harmed the locality. Therefore, how can the people in Wuchang not hate themselves to death for this? Without a mass foundation, Li Zicheng felt that he was struggling!

In the past, even if he only had eighteen horsemen left, he still had a mass base, and he could rely on the people to rise up again. But now he has one less soldier! It is difficult to increase the number of troops on the ground.

For this reason, he also did not believe in the Huguang soldiers who followed him, Yuan Zongdi, who had been stationed in Xiangyang, and his subordinates, as well as Bai Wang, who stayed in Xiangyang, also recruited a lot of Huguang people as soldiers, because these Huguang people were excluded, Li Zicheng still trusted the Shaanxi people, so it was even more difficult for them to gain a foothold in Huguang! In the eyes of Huguang people, they are still guests and cannot integrate into Huguang.

After Li Zicheng's defeat at Shanhaiguan, his suspicions increased, he used to often laugh at Chongzhen's suspicions too much, he would not be like Chongzhen, but as soon as he ascended the throne of the emperor, he changed completely! He was also suspicious, and his ministers were disheartened.

This emperor's throne is such a terrible thing! What was supposed to make a hero become a suspicious, heroic person with a short breath. Now Li Zicheng is like that! He has lost everything, he admires Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang also became more suspicious after he ascended the throne, but Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor of great unification, and now Li Zicheng is a down-and-out emperor who is being chased around.

Niu Jinxing's words hit Li Zicheng's heart! Niu Jinxing continued excitedly: "If we can't expand to the north, we must at least expand to the south and capture Guangxi or Guangdong, or we will march into Sichuan!" Don't look at Zhang Xianzhong's superficial kindness and politeness to us, but in fact, he wishes we were destroyed! What's more, there is always a time when the two males are divided into high and low, and the early and late scores are almost the same! ”

Li Zicheng kept nodding his head and motioned for Niu Jinxing to continue.

Niu Jinxing said: "He Tengjiao can't wait to drive us out of Wuchang and retake Wuchang, and now he is still stationing troops!" And King Gui of the Ming Dynasty also fully supported He Tengjiao! Now that we have a sudden blow, it is okay to defeat He Tengjiao! There is a more important point, that is, several clan kings of the Ming Dynasty are vying to be emperors, and it is very easy for them to defeat them when they fight in the same room! There is a saying in the art of war, if you want to attack, you must first destroy the enemy that is easy to obtain! Now Nanming is such an enemy! ”

Niu Jinxing explained as soon as he said: "When we destroy Nanming, or Zhang Xianzhong, we will have half of the country!" We have enough strength to either divide the territory, or try to recover the Central Plains a little! ”

"Yes!" With a "snap", Li Zicheng slapped hard and said, "Mr. Niu, what you said is exactly what I think in my heart!" Ha Lu Ha! What bowed to Hins Cheung? No way! Zhang Xianzhong used Dashun as an era name and wanted me to be one level shorter than him? I'll let him know! ”

It seems that Li Zicheng is resentful of Zhang Xianzhong's name Dashun. If Li Zicheng had been in difficulty before, he would have thought of what morality was, and if he lost morality, he would have lost the hearts of the people, and he would choose to go all out with Zhang Biwu to break Azig.

But when he became the emperor, everything changed, and he lived in singing praises and virtues, and he no longer had the ability to endure everything before.

It was Niu Jinxing's unjust strategy that made Li Zicheng adopt it, Zhang Biwu's line failed, and the originally favorable anti-Qing situation was variable.

Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang, and Song Xiance didn't know that Li Zicheng had already made up his mind, attacking Azig in the open, and actually attacking Nanming. They were still enthusiastically planning with Zhang Biwu how to attack Azig.

This plan was quickly drawn up and reported to Li Zicheng, who only looked at it copically and agreed.

Now the question is how to let Zhang Biwu return to Henan safe and sound. However, Zhang Biwu was not in a hurry to return to Henan, because Azig had received a secret order from Dolgon and could not let Zhang Biwu pass. Because Zhang Biwu came to Li Zicheng, Azig was deeply reproached, and he would not let the misfortune happen again. Therefore, Azig has deployed heavy troops in the Huguang area, and Zhang Biwu wants to go over? It's hard! It's better to stay here and fight side by side with the Dashun army!

In addition, there are Han Runchang, Lu Xiangsheng, Li Yan and other commanders in Henan, all of them are people with rich combat experience, and Xuan Jianhao can give advice, with them, are you still afraid? There are two new fierce generals, Zhou Yuji and Cao Bianjiao, and Zhang Biwu can do it without him!

Zhang Biwu's stay in the Dashun army can also make Azig disagree, thinking that Zhang Biwu's strength is not to be afraid, their commander is not there, what is there to worry about such an army?

What's more, Zhang Biwu was worried that Li Zicheng didn't really want to fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty with him, when Zhang Biwu came, Zhang Biwu discussed it with Xuan Jianhao, if Li Zicheng wanted to attack the Qing Dynasty together, in fact, if he attacked the Southern Ming, it would be extremely dangerous!

This will ruin the situation of the anti-Qing Dynasty that is very good! However, Zhang Biwu could not use Li Zicheng and others to alleviate the Manchu Qing's attempt to attack him with all his might. This can only be done by uniting with Li Zicheng and them.

Zhang Biwu is also ready to use another hand, if Li Zicheng really wants to attack Nanming, he can't let him succeed! Let He Tengjiao, who is guarding against Li Zicheng, know that Li Zicheng's attack will be weak, and he will not be able to destroy Nanming.

Zhang Biwu knows that even if Li Zicheng can destroy Nanming, he is unpopular! By deceitful means to destroy the Southern Ming, the people of the south will rise up and attack, and then the Qing Dynasty will deceive people by destroying the thieves and restoring their sight, so as to occupy the south.

At this time, news came that Henan was under heavy pressure from the Qing army from Shanxi and Beijing, but Li Yan led his 7,000 men and horses to the death.

Jiang Hao from Shanxi was ordered to attack Henan, but he knew that the soldiers were the capital, and they were nothing without soldiers! He won't stupidly spend all his soldiers, he and Li Yan tacitly say that if you don't attack me, I won't attack you.

Although the Eight Banners soldiers from Beijing can fight, they don't dare to go too far, so how can they say that Beijing's security must also be guaranteed.

In this case, the Qing army's offensive against Henan was defused, although the land of Henan had not been occupied by Zhang Biwu, the Qing army still occupied some territory, and the Qing army in Henan did not have much use.

But things are not so simple, Dolgon is taking the opportunity to strengthen, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's dominance in Henan, he knows better than anyone else, he can't kill Zhang Biwu with such a fight, what he can do is to urge Zhang Biwu in Wuchang to return to Henan quickly, this is the most critical step.

It would be great if Azig could capture Zhang Biwu, and if Zhang Biwu could not be allowed to return to Henan, Li Zicheng could do what he wanted and attack Nanming. Of course, this was the best-case scenario that Dorgon had guessed.

At this time, Hong Chengchou and others put forward another opinion to Dolgon, which would kill Zhang Biwu...... (To be continued......)
