Dashun monarchs and ministers looked at each other, all of them drooped their heads, and looked a little ashamed, they didn't believe it, but dared not to believe it?

The Dongyu soldiers are strong, and Liaozhen is the elite of the Ming army, and the two are combined, can the one-third of Dashun's soldiers and horses resist it?

Li Zicheng clapped his hands and praised, and said: "What the military advisor said is deafening. Everyone is the same as me, they are all reckless, they were all hoes for the first half of their lives, and eating a white-flour bun will be the New Year, we are now in Beijing, and we have become the father of the country, I can't help but be a little fluttering, you are like this, I am also like this.

But the military advisor has been much more vigilant and thinks long-term for us.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's fight this country, just like marrying a daughter-in-law, ordering a gift, visiting the church and feasting, all kinds of bad things have come, what are you anxious about entering the cave room, this Shanhaiguan this time, let's work together, we must do it well. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The generals will respond in unison.

Li Guo frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the military advisor, Wei Chen felt a little scared after listening to what the military advisor said just now. Our troops sent to Shanhaiguan, could it be that he fell into the trap of Wu Sangui, he had already surrendered to the east, lured us out of the capital, and annihilated under the city? ”

When the generals heard this, they discussed it one after another, and Song Xiance shook his head slightly: "This possibility is not very likely, Bo Hou also saw Wu Sangui just now, what do you think of this person's courage?" ”

Li Guo thought for a while and said, "This guy is not ambitious, but when he says he is bold and fearless, I don't think so." ”

Song Xiance said: "I also see it this way.

If Wu Sangui unites with Dongyu to deal with us, then he is a person who can see victory, and wants to enjoy victory, how can he come to the battlefield to take risks? ”

"But what if the two of us are wrong? Wu Sangui is a person who is decisive and not afraid of death? Li asked.

Song Xiance smiled: "The Marquis is worried about the court, too worried, if Wu Sangui is such a person, he should have let those gunners shoot the emperor directly just now, what kind of accident to the emperor will hurt our Dashun a lot?" Therefore, Wu Sangui categorically did not join forces with Dongyu now.

What I said just now is to say that we should appease Wu Sangui with both soft and hard, and at the same time pay attention to posture and methods.

If there is really such a thing as Dongyu entering the Kou, it is extremely important to let Wu Sangui belong to Dashun, even if it is not, we will just spend more money and let Wu Sangui take advantage of the official position. ”

Li Zicheng nodded: "What the military advisor said is, Marquis Bo, you quickly contact the guards of the passes in Jizhen Town, and use all means to find out whether there are any signs of Koubian in Dongyu." ”

When Song Xiance heard this, his face changed slightly, and he sighed in his heart, whether Li Zicheng was born in a reckless manner, or was he too stingy, first find out whether Dongyu has Koubian, it must be that Dongyu has no Koubian, so he will give Wu Sangui less benefits.

But in his opinion, Shanhaiguan is the throat of the Central Plains, even if it is to gamble on that possibility, he should meet Wu Sangui's conditions as soon as possible and quickly master Shanhaiguan.

But how could he say this kind of thing in public, he only thought about the military discussion, and then gave Li Zicheng advice in private.

Obviously, Song Xiance saw through the key to appeasing Wu Sangui, and Li Zicheng also understood the truth, but people's character always affects his way of acting, and people's background and experience will also affect his character. Li Zicheng came from a low background, and his experience was even more bleak, and he developed a stingy personality, which led to the uncertainty at this critical time, and he did not have the courage of a male lord and saint monarch at all.

In the original history, this directly led to the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the fall of Dashun, but this time it was different because Li Zhaoji came.

He gave the desperate Wu Sangui a hope, a huge and beautiful hope.

He gave Li Zicheng, who was one step late, the time and redundancy to change his decision.

He also gave a new destiny to this land, which had suffered from wars and natural disasters, and to the people of the land.

And he, at this time in the customs city of Shanhaiguan, saw Chen Yuanyuan, but he was breathing heavily, swallowing and spitting wildly, looking like a pig brother.

In this world, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, people often describe those who have done great things as cold-blooded strong people with a resolute personality and are not tempted, as if those people regard all the temptations in the world as nothing. But in fact, heroes, great men, kings, they are all human beings, they all have seven emotions and six desires, and they all have weaknesses and flaws in their character.

Lee Zhaoji also has many shortcomings, and lust is one of them, but this is not an irreparable shortcoming, because he is lustful and not lewd, lustful.

A woman's beauty, beauty is in the bone phase and not in the skin phase, maybe it is temperament, for Li Zhaoji, when a woman's beauty reaches a certain level, what is compared is temperament.

Obviously, Chen Yuanyuan has that kind of seductive temperament, and Li Zhaoji just didn't notice it for a while, so the woman was confused, the moment he saw Chen Yuanyuan, although he still couldn't accept Chong Guan's anger as a red face, but he also understood why Wu Sangui, Liu Zongmin, and other famous figures in the late Ming Dynasty were so fascinated by her.

"Ahem." Wu Sangui sent Chen Yuanyuan away, and when he saw that Li Zhaoji's eyes were still staring, he coughed a few times.

Li Zhaoji was awakened, smiled embarrassedly, and couldn't help but praise with envy: "Ping Xibo, what a big blessing." ”

Wu Sangui didn't care, in the end, Chen Yuanyuan was just a concubine and a plaything. Wu Sangui said: "If the other concubines are liked by the gentleman, they can be given to the gentleman and serve the gentleman." But Yuanyuan is what I love, and a gentleman doesn't take away people's love.

Sir, when we achieve great things, the flowers and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are only owned by you and me, there are talented and beautiful women who are not less round, Mr. But whatever you like, Benbo will take it for you. ”

Li Zhaoji smiled and said: "Li lacks some concentration in beauty, but people who do big things can't lose big because of small things." What Ping Xibo said just now is a little unreasonable, although Jiangnan is big and there are many beauties, but their talents and appearances are not inferior to Chen's, I am afraid that there are not few, but I know a few, such as Qian Qianyi's newly married wife Liu Ruis.

Will you also take it for me? Isn't that because of a small loss, it will ruin our big thing. ”

"Well said, well said." Wu Sangui even felt that Li Zhaoji was simple and direct, and he was quite open-minded.

At this time, Wu Xiang, who had changed his clothes and packed up, came to the hall, saw Li Zhaoji, and said: "Mr. Li Zhaoji Mr. Li, oops, Sangui mentioned you several times in the letter, and when I saw you today, the name is well deserved, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, I can't imagine that you are so young." ”

"Master Wu praised it falsely, praised it falsely." Li Zhaoji smiled and groaned.

Next is the pressure banquet prepared for Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui invited Li Zhaoji to accompany him, but his in-laws and generals were not present, which made Wu Xiang a little surprised, but as Wu Sangui sent the servants away and said the plan to support the new monarch and take charge of the court, Wu Xiang also understood that the fewer people who knew about such secrets, the better.

Wu Xiang deduced this strategy and asked several questions in a row, Li Zhaoji and Wu Sangui answered truthfully, and Wu Xiang found that he could not find any flaws at all. Eventually, he drank a cup and said, "This plan is a matter of the world, and it stands to reason that the right time and place will be in place."

But now it is the season of the south wind, and we are going south, and we do not occupy the time. The new monarch is supported and has authority in the south of the Yangtze River, while the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen are in Guanning, so the geographical advantage is lacking. Therefore, people are extremely important. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Xiang said to Wu Sangui: "Sangui, Zhaoji spoke straightforwardly, and in the process of planning, he made it clear in advance what he wanted. It seems abrupt, but there is great wisdom in it, and he just knows that only in this way can cooperation in the future be both restrictive and complementary.

You don't have to think that Zhaoji is domineering, if you are not in the same heart, this matter will definitely not happen.

In the future, there will inevitably be conflicts between Liaozhen and Dongfang Trading Company. The two of us must be cautious, and cooperation will benefit both sides. ”

Wu Sangui nodded slightly, also looked at Li Zhaoji and said, "I have communicated with my husband, and I will definitely follow your orders." ”

Li Zhaoji clenched his fists and said: "Ping Xibo is in a high position, and he holds a male soldier, I can't say this kind of point, but today Master Wu said it, which can be regarded as smoothing out the last flaw." ”

"Hahaha." Wu Sangui laughed three times, raised his wine glass, and said: "Sir, today in front of my father, I will set a tone first, if you have anything to do in the future, you can say me to your face, no matter how ugly the words are, as long as it is reasonable, I, Wu Sangui, will definitely obey you." ”

And Li Zhaoji also raised his glass: "But it's not good, Ping Xibo has a lot of soldiers and horses, and he is a nobleman of the imperial court, if he is repeatedly obstructed by an outsider and businessman like me, wouldn't it be very shameless?" It will damage your dignity Ping Xibo, what will happen in the future, we will have to live on face, if it is noisy, we will quarrel in private, anyway, now that Master Wu is back, naturally he will judge us. ”

"Oh, well, it's all good, one of you is open-minded, one is generous, this person is occupied, and the great cause is half done." Wu Xiang got up: "Come, Zhaoji, Sangui, have a drink." ”

After the three of them drank together, Wu Xiang asked, "Zhaoji, this plan is what you think." Now that Li Chuang's army is pressing, and there is a change in Dongyu, how to go next, you will talk about it first. ”

Li Zhaoji said: "Master Wu, Ping Xibo, do you two think it's good for us to go south to support the new monarch?" ”

Wu Sangui said: "This matter should be sooner rather than later. ”

Wu Xiang shook his head: "Sangui's words are wrong, this matter, we must go steadily at the beginning."

Now Li Chuang's main force is in the pass, but he doesn't know the movement of the Dongyu, the Donglu wants Koubian, whether it is Jizhen or not, it is not known, if both sides are coming to Liaozhen and sandwiching us in the middle, what should we do?

When the time comes, the elite will go south to support the new monarch, Guan Ning will be lost, and the wives and parents of the soldiers will be lost, even if you have mastered the court, can you stand firmly? ”

Li Zhaoji said: "Master Wu and I are of the same mind, I thought it was not the time yet. It's best to wait for Donglu and Li Chuang to fight, and it will be difficult to solve, and when the time comes, both sides will fight for Liaozhen.

Liaozhen is left and right, and it can also draw out the resources of soldiers and horses to support the new monarch and set up a new dynasty. ”

"Well, that's the right thing to do." Wu Xiang nodded, and he said again: "Zhaoji, that Dongyu is from Jizhen Koubian, but is it true?" You can be sure of this news.

It's not that the old man doesn't believe you, it's really dragged on for a long time, I'm afraid that the south will change, the fall of the capital, the death of the Son of Heaven, sooner or later will reach the capital, if the Jiangnan doctor supports an emperor to come out, wouldn't we be busy in vain. ”

Wu Sangui also said: "In the past few days, there has been no major change in the direction of Ningyuan. ”

Li Zhaoji smiled: "Master Wu and Pingxibo rest assured, I dare to guarantee that now Dongyu has taken action." But it takes a month to go around Horqin from Shenyang to the border wall of Jizhen Town, but we can't wait that long.

Fortunately, this news is very easy to confirm, but to confirm the news, it is not only necessary to reassure the two of you, but also to let Li Chuang's side approve it. ”

"Listening to what Zhao Ji means when he says this, I am sure." Wu Xiang said with a smile, and he personally filled Li Zhaoji's wine glass.

Li Zhaoji said: "We can prepare for a sea-crossing raid, Liaozhen, our navy and Li Chuang jointly participate, crossing the sea to attack the Liaodong Peninsula, considering that Shen Youlong's troops gathered troops on Juehua Island, so this should be a secret operation." ”
