……

At this time, all the generals in the hall expressed their vows not to retreat.

Prepare to battle the Tartars on the battlefield of Taiyuan!

And Lao Zhu sat quietly on the side, calmly watching all this.

What Zhang Tianlin said just now completely boosted the morale of the generals, although no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

But no matter what they think, as long as what they do is consistent with what they say, then there is still some hope in Taiyuan.

At present, we can only hope that they will win this battle of Shanxi, otherwise when they lose, it will be time for the Dashun contradiction to break out......

After Zhang Tianlin mobilized the emotions of the generals, he stopped talking about business.

Let the dancer, who had just gone down before they talk, call back again.

Keep the crowd singing and dancing.

This is likely to be their last enjoyment, and it's okay to be presumptuous.

Just as everyone continued to drink heavily, Lao Zhu keenly saw a subordinate, hurriedly ran to Zhang Tianlin's side, and whispered a few words.

Suddenly, Zhang Tianlin's face became horrified.

But in the next moment, his expression continued to calm down.

It's as if everything just now was just an illusion.

If it weren't for Lao Zhu's careful heart, he had been carefully observing the surroundings.

I would never have discovered this little episode.

At this time, Zhang Tianlin let him go down after listening to what his subordinates said.

He continued to brag and fart with the generals.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The generals were all drunk one by one, and were supported back by their respective subordinates.

Only Lao Zhu and Ke Tianxiang are extremely sober.

One of them didn't dare to get drunk because he was afraid that after getting drunk, he would talk nonsense and reveal his identity, and the other was that he rarely drank alcohol, so he didn't get drunk.

Just as they greeted each other and were about to say goodbye and return to the camp.

The guards around Zhang Tianlin came over and told them that the general had something important to discuss and asked them to go to the back hall.

Hearing this, Ke Tianxiang's face was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what the general was looking for them to do in the middle of the night.

But Zhang Tianlin spoke, he still had to go.

And Lao Zhu instantly remembered the scene at the banquet.

Someone must have come over to report a very shocking news.

Otherwise, Zhang Tianlin would not have shown that look, let alone called them over.

Maybe ......, it's the Tartars who have already dispatched troops to call over!!

Lao Zhu and Ke Tianxiang walked into the back hall together.

At this time, Zhang Tianlin had already sat on the main seat and waited for a long time.

After a period of etiquette, Ke Tianxiang and Lao Zhu sat separately.

As soon as they sat down, Zhang Tianlin said a shocking news!

"Li Yan was killed by His Majesty......"

"Who'???!"

As soon as he boarded, Ke Tianxiang stood up from his seat suddenly.

His eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Tianlin in disbelief.

I can't believe that this kind of fantastical words actually came out of Zhang Tianlin's mouth!

Lao Zhu is the same at the moment, but he is not as unbelievable as Ke Tianxiang.

Just a little shocked and deeply confused.

Li Yan is a person, even in Chongzhen's memory, he has a deep impression.

Li Yan's original name was Li Xin, and he was a person in the Great Ming Qi period at the beginning, because his father Li Jingbai had some relationship with Wei Zhongxian.

After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was removed from his post as a citizen.

Although Li Jingbai lost his official position and resigned, his Li family was still one of the top gentry and wealthy people in the local area.

And Li Yan is also well-known in the local area, and he is known as a talent of "both civil and military" at a young age.

If Li Yan continues to live like this, he can be a luxurious rich son.

But he had a good rich life, but he rode alone to join Li Zicheng, who didn't even have a piece of land at that time.

Isn't this for the sake of ideals? Isn't it for true love?

Otherwise, who would let go of a life of big fish and big meat to follow a rebel leader who has nothing?

And with the addition of Li Yan, the thief instantly had a central idea and a goal.

put forward many policies to gain the support of the people, which completely allowed Li Zicheng to gain a firm foothold in Henan and other places.

Subsequently, with the assistance of Li Yan, he established Dashun, entered Beijing, and overthrew the Ming Dynasty.

However, it is such a top strategist who followed Li Zicheng in Dashun and made great contributions.

Now you tell them that Li Yan was killed by Li Zicheng himself????

Isn't that a bit too impractical?

No matter how stupid Li Zicheng is, it is impossible for him to do this kind of thing where his relatives are painful and his enemies are happy???

But in the face of their questioning looks, Zhang Tianlin still nodded.

This action is certainly not to tell them that this thing is true!

Li Zicheng really did such a stupid thing!!

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible!! ”

Ke Tianxiang waved his hand and said to Zhang Tianlin with red eyes.

"General, are you amusing me? Is it just a joke to see that I've been stressed too much lately? Isn't it!! Checkmate!!! ”

Listening to Ke Tianxiang's slightly anxious voice.

Zhang Tianlin could understand Ke Tianxiang's feelings at this time.

As a veteran who followed Li Zicheng from the south to the north, they have always believed in Li Zicheng and believe that his actions have never been missed.

It also has a high prestige in the hearts of these veterans.

And it is such a king who is deeply convinced by them, but now he has killed his loyal subordinates?

This had to make Ke Tianxiang feel a little ridiculous.

Seeing that Ke Tianxiang's emotions were a little excited, Lao Zhu hurriedly stood up and asked.

"General, Your Majesty always killed Li Yan for a reason, right? Is it possible that Li Yan committed a great crime that had to be killed, and His Majesty had no choice but to kill him? ”

Otherwise, how to explain Li Zicheng's behavior, is it really stupid?

As soon as Lao Zhu said this, Ke Tianxiang suddenly felt some truth.

hurriedly looked closely at Zhang Tianlin's eyes.

Hopefully, that's really possible.

"Alas, the news from Xi'an is that Li Yan has different intentions, and he wants to set up his own mountain, so His Majesty killed him."

Zhang Tianlin said something that he himself felt a little ridiculous.

He has met Li Yan many times, and he has even talked about it with other generals.

It's just a slightly idealistic upright person, but his suggestions and strategies are correct.

It's just that the speech is a little too straightforward.

belongs to the capable ministers like Wei Zheng and Hai Rui.

It is more reliable to say that he is a traitor of the former Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the accurate information sent by his people in Xi'an was that Li Yan was only retreating when he proposed that the Tartars would attack Shanxi and Henan in a few days.

In order to prevent the door of Shaanxi from opening widely, it was requested to bring a force to guard Henan.

This is obviously a very normal and correct strategy, but he was framed by Niu Jinxing, saying that he had two hearts and wanted to stand on his own.

What's even more ridiculous is that His Majesty still believes it??!
