Zuo Hanbing said: "The war between the two countries is a major and serious matter, and it must not be rushed. The enemy is so large that it would be foolish to go toe-to-toe with it. ”

Tang Ma said: "Then when will you be able to attack?"

Zuo Hanbing said: "At least two or three years, at most more than five years." ”

Zhan Tianlun said: "It's been so long, we can't wait!"

Zuo Hanbing said: "Then you have to wait, otherwise, Li Zicheng's failure will be a lesson from the past." We can now divide the future into two periods: nourishment and war. During the period of recuperation, it is necessary to avoid the enemy's army, strive to develop military strength, and take advantage of the current battle between the Qing, Ming, and Shun families to rapidly expand their strength. During this time, we must pay attention to hiding our strength, and we must not show our edge too much, because once we grow, not only Dolgon and Xia Qianxun, but even Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong will not be happy!"

Tang Ma said: "Dolgon, Xia Qianxun, and Zhang Xianzhong are all fine, but we are all Li Zicheng's subordinates, and we have grown, what is he unhappy about?"

Zuo Hanbing said: "Ten Thousand Blades Mountain is just under the banner of Dashun, it is actually an independent army, and Li Zicheng absolutely can't trust us." Just imagine, he can't even trust his generals Li Yan and the Red Lady, and he doesn't hesitate to get rid of them as soon as possible, let alone us?"

At the mention of Li Zicheng's killing of the general Li Yan and the Red Lady, Duan Hongyu couldn't help but shiver and sighed: "Yes, the suspicion of King Chuang is really chilling!"

Zuo Hanbing said: "In the past, it was correct for the heroes of Ten Thousand Blades Mountain to follow King Chuang, but now the situation is changing too fast, we need to find another way, and we can't follow King Chuang all the way to the dark!"

Tang Ma said: "Brother, we people do not hesitate to smear our hearts and brains for the sake of Dashun. Now even though the rebel army has been defeated, the more we must unite in this way, and if everyone deviates from morality, we can only be defeated to the end!"

Zuo Hanbing said: "But Li Zicheng has already made a major mistake, he is afraid that he will not be able to make a comeback this defeat, and it is really unnecessary for us to guard a big tree that will fall!"

Zhan Tianlun said: "Not necessarily! When King Chuang was defeated by Hong Chengluo, there were only 17 horsemen left around him, and then he also attacked Beijing City? Who dares to say that Dashun is really over?"

Zuo Hanbing said: "Back then, King Chuang only faced the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, which were like wolves and tigers, and now King Chuang is facing the two powerful forces of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. If you want to attack the Qing Dynasty, you must first destroy Shun. If the Qing wants to extinguish the Ming, it must first destroy the Shun. Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for soldiers, and Dashun is really on the verge of destroying the country!"

Although Zhan Tianlun and Tang Ma felt extremely sorry, when they thought of the current situation, they had to admit the reality that Dashun was about to die.

Zuo Hanbing said: "Both the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty have focused their attention on Dashun, so that my Wanjian Mountain has a rare opportunity for development, and Wanjian Mountain can use this time to rapidly grow its strength, and then make a later picture." The destruction of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong is inevitable, and the fate of the rebels in the world can only depend on Wanjian Mountain in the future. ”

Duan Hongyu sighed: "But it's not enough for us people to defeat the Ming and Qing Dynasty!"

Zuo Hanbing said: "Brother, don't worry, as long as we can adopt the right strategy, success is not impossible, you must know that King Chuang has also developed little by little!"

Duan Hongyu said: "The reason why King Chuang can become big depends on the confrontation between the Ming and Qing dynasties, and we don't have such an opportunity!"

Zuo Hanbing said: "Now the Qing army is stepping up its attack on Dashun, and it will go south in the future." The army in the north is very empty, and we still have a chance to take advantage of it!"

Zhan Tianlun said: "Aren't we betraying the righteous army by doing this?"

Zuo Hanbing said: "Otherwise, Li Zicheng is only one of the rebels, we don't follow King Chuang, it doesn't mean that we have betrayed the rebels, in fact, even if we actively cooperate with Li Zicheng to fight, with our current strength, it is impossible to have any impact on the current situation." If Wanjian Mountain can really develop into a powerful army, it will be a kind of support for Dashun!"

Duan Hongyu said: "Yes, if our military strength is huge enough, it can indeed bring significant pressure to the Qing army, and the situation in Dashun will be much better!"

Zuo Hanbing said: "After the Qing army entered the customs, the situation in the world has changed dramatically, and we must also adjust quickly, if we can't adapt to the new situation, we can only fall short." ”

Tang Ma said: "What is the new situation, and how should we adjust?"

Zuo Hanbing said: "The new situation is that the Qing army's entry into the customs has become a fact, and the Qing army's ambition to annex the world in one fell swoop has been clearly revealed. We can no longer only focus on the Ming Dynasty as before, and we must realize that the number one enemy now is the Qing State. The strength of the Qing Dynasty was so strong that it far surpassed that of the Ming Dynasty and the Great Shun. Dolgon's intention now is very clear, that is, to go along with the rules first, and then to set the world. Now the task facing the rebels is not simply to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, but to unite all forces against the Qing Dynasty, only in this way can the world be avoided from falling into the hands of foreign races. ”

Zhan Tianlun said: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Zuo Hanbing said: "The meaning of the little brother is to fight against the Qing Dynasty!"

"What?" As soon as they heard the words "Lianming resists the Qing Dynasty", Zhan Tianlun and Tang Ma both jumped up. These two people were deeply persecuted by the government before they fell into the grass, and the hatred and fear of the government came to them, and they all gritted their teeth when they mentioned the Ming Dynasty, and the strategy of uniting the Ming Dynasty was unacceptable to them no matter what. Zhan Tianlun said: "Brother, by all means, the Ming Dynasty is too cruel, how can I unite with these beasts in the Ten Thousand Blades Mountain?"

Tang Ma also said: "Yes! How many rebels did the Ming Dynasty kill me? If you want to unite with the Ming Dynasty, let's wait until we die!"

Zuo Hanbing said: "Two brothers, we are just Lianming, not Ming!"

Tang Ma said: "That won't work! It must not be united with the government." Besides, look at who are the people in the official mansion? Ma Shiying and Xia Qianxun are like snakes and scorpions, if we are led by their noses, sooner or later we will end up with no bones left!"

Zhan Tianlun said: "Actually, even if we want to unite with the government, I'm afraid they won't agree!"

Zuo Hanbing said: "Lianming doesn't necessarily have to ask the Ming Dynasty to surrender, as long as we don't attack the Ming army in the future, we can help the Ming army when it is in danger!"

Tang Ma said hatefully: "For these eagle talons, killing one is counted as one, and there must be no appeasement in the slightest!"

Zuo Hanbing sighed: "Brother thinks like this, but it's a righteous thing! If we still kill you and Daming like before, and when we turn around, the world is afraid that the surname will be clear, and then there is no need to regret it! ”

Zhan Tianlun and Tang Ma still couldn't accept it for a while.
