Wang Jinbao got Li Zicheng's order and immediately went down the mountain to find Wang Xueli to discuss the rebellion, but it didn't take much time, and he was caught by the scouts of the Ming army as soon as he got off the mountain.

It can be regarded as his luck, he happened to be caught by Wang Xueli's subordinates, and he was going to pull him to kill his head, but fortunately, in a hurry, he shouted that he had important military information to report to the general, so he barely picked up a life.

Wang Xueli had a secret conversation with Wang Jinbao, and Wang Xueli said that Li Zicheng's request was not moved, and the lack of military pay had already made his subordinates ready to move.

Although Mr. He often painted cakes for him, he didn't dare to believe it, after all, the same cakes had been painted for a year.

Of course, Wang Xueli is naturally full of distrust of Li Zicheng, not to mention the blood debts of both sides, let's just say that this Wang Jinbao, a fugitive, as a representative of the army, is it too unserious to take himself seriously? The high and low himself is also a boss!

So Wang Xueli clearly told Li Zicheng that if he wanted to talk, he would send someone with weight in the camp to talk, not a fugitive, and he would not negotiate such an important matter with a fugitive.

Wang Jinbao was released again, which can be regarded as saving his life, but now that the ball is kicked to Li Zicheng's side, who will he send to negotiate with Wang Xueli on his behalf? This risk is not small, in case Wang Xueli is a trick, I am afraid that there will be a loss of the core general, which is Li Zicheng's most reluctant point.

When it was difficult to make a decision, Li Zicheng decided to brainstorm and ordered the military council to be promoted.

The generals still don't know about the deal with Wang Xueli, and when they arrived at the military tent, they heard Li Zicheng talk about it, at first the generals still agreed, after all, it is not a way to be trapped in Yufu Mountain, if Wang Xueli is really willing to defect, give some property and give it, there is no problem, but now Wang Xueli wants to send important people down the mountain to negotiate, it has to make people doubt his intentions.

Tian Jianxiu took the lead in speaking, and said loudly: "King Chuang, Wang Xueli's guy must not be well-intentioned, I'm afraid that he wants to lure us down the mountain to kill him, and go to ask for credit for the miscellaneous man surnamed Yang!" You can't fall into this trap! ”

"Father-in-law, I think so, why do you want us to send someone down the mountain to talk to him, and not let him send someone to talk to us?" Li Shuangxi also followed up to express his opinion, and then there was a quarrel in the military tent, and everyone was gossiping, which was nothing more than saying that Wang Xueli could not go to the harboring evil intentions.

Gu Junen and Li Yan looked coldly at them and told their opinions below, but they sneered in their hearts, saying that Wang Xueli was harboring evil intentions, but in fact, they were still afraid that they would be assigned to die, right?

"But if we don't talk to that, how can we get out? Spring is coming soon, and Yang Sichang's dog thief is about to return to the army" At this time, Li Jin, who had never spoken much, spoke.

All the generals were silent when they heard this, the current situation is very bad, if you don't talk to Wang Xueli, then you can only sit in the lonely mountain, yes, you can drag it out through the winter, but when Yang Sichang cleans up Zhang Xianzhong and returns to the teacher, what should you do? Waiting to die?

Li Zicheng looked at the silent generals below, and sighed slightly in his heart, after all, they are still some martial artists, and it is difficult for them to come up with proper solutions to these problems, so he turned his head to look at Gu Junen and asked, "What does Mr. Gu mean?" ”

When Gu Junen heard this, he arched his hand and said: "King Chuang, I can only gamble for today's plan, if I wait until the beginning of spring and the main force of the Ming army comes back, then I can't talk about it if I want to." ”

Li Zicheng nodded when he heard this, then looked at Li Yan again, and asked, "Is that what Mr. Li mean?" ”

Li Yan just arched his hand and said: "King Chuang, my subordinates believe that Wang Xueli will not cheat, we are clear about the situation of the Ming army under the mountain, if Wang Xueli drags on any longer, the Ming army also has the possibility of mutiny, if the Ming army really mutinies, Wang Xueli will not be able to save his life no matter what, in this situation, he will definitely not deceive us." ”

"Since the Ming army is going to mutiny, then let's just wait, why do we have to talk to that dog mongrel?" Liu Zongmin asked with a sneer, since the last time, he hated Li Yan so much, and he had to do everything against Li Yan.

"It's just a possibility, what if you don't mutiny?" Li Yan sneered: "The reason why we want to fight for Wang Xueli, and the reason why Wang Xueli will talk to us is to reach the best price before the worst result happens." ”

"It's the head of the road, anyway, it's not you who went to die" Liu Zongmin snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Li Zicheng probably also understood what Li Yan and Gu Junen meant, now he and Wang Xueli are eager to talk, this is a period of opportunity, once the Ming army pays the military salary, or adjusts the defense, then maybe Wang Xueli will change his hexagram, and the bet can only be like this!

So Li Zicheng nodded solemnly and said: "What do you mean, I understand, the current situation can't help but talk to Wang Xueli, since we want to talk, we have to be sincere, he wants us to send someone who can talk, who do you think can go?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, no one wanted to go, no matter how good you said, the risk also existed, in case Wang Xueli changed the hexagram, the gods could not be saved.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Zicheng turned his head to look at Li Yan and Gu Junen, and Li Yan and Gu Junen naturally didn't want to go.

Just kidding, Li Yan's words are loud, the ghost knows if Wang Xueli's head will have a convulsion, what if he has a convulsion? Man is the most amazing animal, and it is completely impossible to guess with conventional logic.

"I think that since it was proposed by Li Senjun, it is most appropriate for Li to join the army." Liu Zongmin looked at Li Yan with a smile and said, his eyes were full of hatred and resentment.

Hearing this, Li Yan was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Zongmin to attack at this time, but he was still confident that Li Zicheng valued him and would not push himself to take risks.

Liu Zongmin raised his head, and Li Shuangxi immediately followed, and immediately arched his hand and said: "King Chuang, we are all rough people, where do we understand those twists and turns, how to negotiate this matter, I think I still have to let Gu Senjun go with Li Senjun." ”

The generals quickly seized the advantage of "rough people" and talked nonsense, to the effect that they were uneducated, and it was easy to delay things if they went, so they should let the two educated join the army.

Li Zicheng listened to the call below, his eyes wandered, and from time to time he circled on Gu Junen and Li Yan, who to let go, this is a question.

Li Zicheng has a balance in his heart, now that everyone is fighting the world, martial arts are naturally the most important, and these martial artists dance with knives and guns, and draw their swords to each other if they disagree, let them talk, I am afraid that it will be very unpleasant.

And Li Yan and Gu Junen are good at joining the army by themselves, but after all, they are literati, literati, they can always catch a lot, if they really want to give up, they can't give up.

Gu Junen has been with him for so many years, and the old brothers are all looking at it, if he really lets him go, in case Wang Xueli is dizzy and slashes with a knife, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the brothers, although Li Yan is full of wisdom, but after all, his qualifications are very shallow, and his adaptability is strong, even if he really goes to any risk, he may not be able to turn the danger into a disaster......

If Wang Xueli is really a trap and dies Li Yan, it seems that it will not have too many negative effects......

Li Zicheng thought about it, his eyes were already fixed on Li Yan's body, and he had already decided who to let go, but he didn't want to say this, Li Yan was a smart person, and he hoped that Li Yan could understand what he meant.

When Li Yan saw Li Zicheng's eyes staring at him, he had already realized Li Zicheng's decision.

In the past few days, they have talked very happily, and he actually has the illusion of treating Li Zicheng as a friend, but he forgot that he Li Zicheng, from beginning to end, is a hero, and there is nothing that cannot be given up for a hero, just like Cao Cao can give up Xun Yu, and Zhu Yuanzhang can kill Li Shanchang is a truth.

He suddenly realized that Li Zicheng had never been his friend! He actually committed such a big illusion, looking at Li Zicheng's gaze, he knew that Li Zicheng would let him make a choice again, and he had no doubt that if he refused, Li Zicheng would most likely directly find an excuse to kill himself.

"The subordinates are promoted to the ranks of the king, they have not made an inch, and they often feel panicked. Li Yan's throat rolled, gritted his teeth, and arched his hand.

Li Zicheng smiled, Li Yan is really a smart person, and he is a smart person who is loyal to himself, if he can really do this this time, then he can really be regarded as a confidant.

Li Zicheng stepped forward to hold Li Yan's hands and said, "Is Mr. really going to go?" If Mr. is unwilling, I will never let Mr. get into danger! ”

When Li Yan heard this, he sneered in his heart, but his face still pretended to be in the soup and fire, and he said: "King Chuang, his subordinates have made up their minds, and they will not be dishonored if they go!" ”

It's false to say that you're not afraid, but in troubled times, you won't always be given too many choices, even if you can avoid it today, will you definitely be able to avoid it tomorrow? In this situation, he can only believe in his own judgment and do big things, after all, he has to take risks, if he doesn't want to take risks, be honest and be a whistle, and wait for the Manchu Qing to enter the customs and directly shave his hair and surrender?

In this way, under the unanimous "recommendation" of the generals, Li Yan became the bridge responsible for communicating with Wang Xueli, although he may not be reluctant.

Wang Jinbao was also stuffed in by Li Zicheng, as promised before, Wang Jinbao became Li Yan's entourage, but he finally picked up his life and came back, and now he was sent down the mountain again, Wang Jinbao wanted to cry without tears, Li Zicheng's promise to be promoted was not fulfilled, only rewarded him with a silver ingot, the question is that as a thief, what is the use of asking for silver ingots?

Gao Yigong heard that Li Yan was going to be sent to negotiate with Wang Xueli, but he couldn't sit still, even if he thought about going to Gao Niangniang and asking Gao Niangniang to persuade Li Zicheng to change this idea, isn't it, Li Yan is just a scholar, where can he go to that kind of tiger and wolf land, if he really wants to go, he has to send a brave general who can defeat 10,000 people.

However, his kindness was scolded by Li Yan again, and it was nothing more than the words of those relatives interfering in politics, and his ears sounded calloused.

Li Yan insisted on going, but Gao Yigong couldn't stop him, so he could only take a set of cloth armor, wanting to let Li Yan defend himself, but Li Yan refused with a smile, "As soon as you enter its camp, add a knife and axe, what's the use of this armor?" On the contrary, it only seems that I am cowardly in the camp. ”

If you are going to play with your life, you should not be so timid and cowardly, but you should appear light and light, in order to deter the opponent, out of this consideration, Li Yan went to borrow a set of Confucian clothes from Gu Junen, a light gray straight embellished, a square scarf, and a folding fan that has been coiled for I don't know how many years, and he is dressed up in a light and breezy manner.

Li Zicheng still gave Li Yan enough pomp, and on the day of going down the mountain, let everyone in the camp line up to say goodbye, some of them were naturally quite reluctant, such as Gao Yigong and Li Jin, and some people were quite happy, such as Gu Junen and others, and some people were gloating, Liu Zongmin was one of the representatives, he really hoped that Wang Xueli would be able to cut this fight down the mountain, and it was best to hang his head up to show the public, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart!

Li Zicheng took Li Yan's hand and said: "Mr. can do what he can do here, and if he can't do it, he won't do it, and don't annoy the thief and hurt his own life." As he spoke, his eyes were red.

Li Yan indifferently rode on the little donkey and arched his hand: "Don't worry, King Chuang, I will definitely persuade Wang Xueli when I go." Li Zicheng's acting skills, Li Yan still admires, and he is worthy of being a famous figure in history, but the pattern is really not big, and he can't see how much he means to his future, but only cares about the current situation and makes himself an outcast.

After doing these true or false farewells, Wang Jinbao led the donkey, held a white flag, and took Li Yan, who was riding on the donkey and fanning the folding fan, down the mountain.
