"Eight kings, our family came to see you on the order of King Yongsheng to show you a way out, not to come and see your face. ”

Chen Jie, the chief eunuch of Hengyang Yongsheng Palace, also did not have a good face, looking at Zhang Xianzhong, who was full of bad luck on the handsome case, it was not good to listen to as soon as he opened his mouth.

Ma Guangyi, the nephew of Ma Shouying, and Chen Jie, the chief eunuch of Hengyang Palace, are two people, one is a rebel, and the other is a brocade guard of the imperial court.

According to the tradition of the rebel army, one of these two people must be killed as soon as they meet, and the eunuch must be killed. Because Ma Guangyi bravely crowned the three armies, there were few opponents, and even if he wanted to kill, he might not be able to kill him.

Not only did these two people not fight, but they even appeared in his Chinese army camp with a smile, Zhang Xianzhong was already very shocked.

Now that Chen Jie's words are arrogant, Zhang Xianzhong's heart suddenly became more suspicious: My old Zhang has always been notorious, and others are scared as long as they hear the wind. This dead eunuch was not afraid, could it be that there was really some deal between Lao Huihui and them in secret?

Although now is not the time to compete for strengths and weaknesses, Zhang Xianzhong is also a capable person, but his personality is flamboyant, and the power cultivated by fighting and killing still exists.

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong opened his mouth, his true form was revealed: "The surname is Chen, under my old Zhang's knife, a eunuch like you didn't kill a thousand, at least eight hundred." You came here today to see me Lao Zhang, if you can't say that you are ugly, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu's double knife will not spare you. ”

Indifferent to Zhang Xianzhong's threatening tone, Chen Jie smiled sharply: "Double knife Zhang Xianzhong, who in the world doesn't know? It's a pity that after your double knife killed our family, it can only be used to commit suicide, what is there to be angry?"

"I heard that you have also read for a few days, and there are some false names of Corporal Lixian, and even a position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites under your own hands. Now that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, it is really ridiculous and ignorant that you don't hurry up and set up a table of wine and banquets, and then ask our family for advice on how to survive. ”

Regardless of whether Chen Jie was bluffing or really Chen Zhu in his chest, anyway, his words moved Zhang Xianzhong: "Come on, prepare a banquet, I must listen to what this eunuch who is not afraid of death wants to say today!"

In fact, Chen Jie was not ready to say too much, he came over with Ma Guangyi, but it was just to implement Miao Sanguan's plan.

As the saying goes: those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Since he bet the treasure on Xiong Chu in Peach Blossom Town, Chen Jie has not been afraid of anything.

In particular, Xiong Chu does not have the problem of deceitful in the officialdom, and he lets go of his own people, which makes Chen Jie feel that the most correct decision in this life is to take refuge in the rebellious Xiong Chu.

The death of a confidant is not something that those who read can talk about, and there are heroes among the eunuchs.

Chen Jie participated in all the plans of Miao Sanguan, Peng Wuying, and Shen Xiyue, and of course understood that the current shape was very weird.

Although it is very dangerous for Zhang Xianzhong, it is also dangerous for Xiong Chu.

In case Zhang Xianzhong found that he had no way to live, and in a fit of rage, he desperately attacked Chu Wangcheng and Yuezhou City, and no one could eat his more than 200,000 people in a short period of time.

Once the war spreads, it will inevitably be a protracted war, which is what Miao Sanguan is most worried about.

Judging from the existing layout, Miao Sanguan was not afraid of Zhang Xianzhong and his more than 200,000 people, and what he was worried about was not entirely because of Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army, but because of another army.

Not long ago, Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to promote Sun Chuanting to the secretary of the military department, the governor of Henan, Sichuan, Shanxi, Huguang, and Guizhou military affairs, and gave Shang Fang the sword, called the superintendent, and the Chinese army camp was located in Chang'an.

At this point, all the last mobile troops in the Central Plains of the imperial court were concentrated in the hands of Sun Chuanting, and Emperor Chongzhen also put his fate in the hands of Sun Chuanting.

Now, the 150,000 officers and troops under Sun Chuanting have left Tongguan in the east, and the goal is directly aimed at Li Zicheng, the king of Dashun, preparing to pacify the Liukou in Henan.

This 150,000-strong army is the last mobile force of the imperial court in the vast area of Henan and Jiangbei, and it is where Emperor Chongzhen's hope lies and where the final bet lies.

Eat Sun Chuanting, there are no official troops in the Central Plains.

This is where Li Zicheng found that Jiangnan was likely to be difficult to take, so he gave up the temptation of Huguang's interests to go north.

Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Li Yan and others are not idle people, since they think that Sun Chuanting is a piece of fat, Miao Sanguan will certainly not be afraid of Sun Chuanting.

The danger faced by Miao Sanguan was to reach a stalemate with Zhang Xianzhong, so that Sun Chuanting had time to send troops south to reinforce Huguang.

There are no more officials of the imperial court in Huguang, and all the parents and officials of the prefectures and counties have been secretly replaced, and Miao Sanguan certainly does not want others to come to reinforcements.

Sun Chuanting divided his troops to the south and entered the hinterland of Huguang, and all the layout of Xiong Chu here would be revealed to the world, and then the court would find out the truth and attack it, and in the end it would inevitably cause chaos in the world.

This is the most taboo thing for Xiong Chu, and Miao Sanguan naturally tries his best to avoid it, so Chen Jie's arrival at Zhang Xianzhong's camp is shouldering the heavy responsibility of resolving the crisis.

It is useless for Chen Jie to come alone, he needs an intermediary or guarantor to win Zhang Xianzhong's trust, and Ma Guangyi is the best choice.

After Peng Wuying went to the meeting alone, he was only separated by a big river from Ma Guangyi and Sun Ang, and the three of them have always kept in touch with each other, and they have a preliminary unified understanding of the various possibilities in the future, so Ma Guangyi came over to be a guarantor this time.

"The prince of our family is just a vassal king, and the court has strict laws on the words and deeds of the vassal king, and it is absolutely impossible to do whatever he wants like you. "

Chen Jie drank a glass of wine, said two words as if complaining, and immediately stopped, and then stared at Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong was facing the situation of survival, and he didn't dare to take every word Chen Jie said lightly, and of course he understood the meaning: "What Chief Manager Chen said is reasonable, but this king is just a leaf of duckweed, and hundreds of thousands of brothers under him also have to eat." Once there is no way out, anything can be done. "

"The vassal king was born with a golden key, an ancestral inheritance, and his own territory. But apart from frenzied exploitation, when did they ever think about the lives of the common people? As the saying goes: It is better to die than to live. No one wants to die, and neither do my brothers. As long as there is a way to live, no one wants to die. "

Chen Jie smiled slightly: "The eight immortals cross the sea to show their abilities, and the old saying is always good." Now there is a road to heaven at your feet, but you don't see it, and you are still hesitating here. Once Sun Chuanting's army goes south, and the official army in Nanjing oppresses westward, aren't you going to die?"

This is the current truth, and it is also what Zhang Xianzhong is most worried about but has not found a solution.

So for the first time, he stood up and clenched his fists and said: "I am an old Zhang Yijie martial artist, I don't know the severity of my words, and I am here to make amends." I just came out of the mountains not long ago, and I don't know much about the things outside, so I ask Manager Chen to show me this clear road!"

Chen Jie nodded: "Now that King Chuang has moved north, and a bloody battle with Sun Chuanting's more than 100,000 troops is imminent, the Central Plains is not something you can interfere with." The land of lakes is under the rule of my victorious king, and it is not a place where you can do whatever you want. Since you are known as the Great Western Army, of course your survival should be in the West. ”

"The land of abundance is fertile for thousands of miles, and it is the place where the people are raised. At that time, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty all started from there, and then they could dominate the world. Now that others have no time to take care of it, the vassal kings of various places dare not act rashly, that is where your Great Western Army belongs. "

"Manager Chen is really high!" Zhang Xianzhong looked at Ma Guangyi and said: "My old Zhang just mentioned the joint venture, originally looking for a passage, but he has been rejected by others. Now that the north of the river is not connected, and the south of the river is not connected, can my 200,000 brothers fly over with wings?"

"Haha, the Eight Kings are wrong in what they say!" Ma Guangyi said with a smile: "Before coming, my uncle specially explained that the Daxi Army is strong and strong, and there is no need for a joint camp. As long as the Eight Kings made up their minds to advance westward, Sun Ang and I would immediately get out of the way of the Jiangbei Passage, and the Great Western Army could drive straight in. According to Zhang Fei's march route back then, what is the difficulty?"

"Not bad!" Chen Jie immediately took over the conversation: "If the Great Western Army decides to advance westward from Jiangbei, our family can order the Fankou Water Division to get out of the way." If such a pattern is really formed, the emperor is in Hebei, King Chuang occupies Henan, the Great Western Army occupies Shu, Huguang belongs to our King Yongsheng, and the four parts of the world do not invade each other, what do the eight kings think?"

Getting out of the current predicament is the first priority, and all other conditions can be agreed to for the time being. Now the shape shì is stronger than people, and there is no better way not to agree.

Since Lao Huihui and King Yongsheng have formed an alliance, and it doesn't look like they want to set a trap for themselves, Zhang Xianzhong did not continue to hesitate: "If the husband decides with a word, then a word is decided!"

Chen Jie and Ma Guangyi lived up to their expectations and finally said that Zhang Xianzhong's army would move westward.

What happened in the middle of this is unknown to outsiders, and what makes everyone wonder is: why Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng chose to give up the land of fish and rice in Huguang at the same time after trying their best, has become a historical unsolved case.

What made Zhang Xianzhong more satisfied was that not only Ma Guangyi and Sun Ang let go of the passage between Chuyang and Jiangling, but the army of He Jin, the king of Zuojin and Dashun, who was stationed in Jingzhou and Yiling, also moved north to Fancheng in advance, and the entire north bank of the river was empty.

Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army directly crossed Yiling Prefecture, and then marched into Xingshan and Daning counties, and the troops pointed directly at the Dianjiang and Guang'an lines.

waited until the news of the successive defeats of Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, Wang Xingjian, the prefect of Chongqing, and Qin Liangyu, the Tusi of Shizhu, came that Peng Wuying and Miao Sanguan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period, Sun Chuanting swore an oath in the Chang'an Guandi Temple, and led the general soldiers Bai Guangen, Gao Jie, Niu Chenghu and other 100,000 people to go east to Tongguan, and at the same time transferred people from all walks of life to attack the Dashun army of King Li Zicheng.

The vanguard of Li Zicheng's Dashun army had already occupied Hangu Pass, and the battle of Luoyang, which was related to the future of the Central Plains, was just around the corner, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

For Miao Sanguan and others, now is a rare opportunity.

Zhang Chengzong's Eastern Route Army had previously taken Nanchang Prefecture, Nankang Prefecture, and Jiujiang Prefecture, and the eastern area had expanded by hundreds of miles, and it was necessary to build a new defensive line along the north and south of Poyang Lake.

Miao Sanguan was originally worried that the imperial court would focus on Huguang, but now this worry no longer exists. Li Zicheng's main force went north, and it was no longer possible for the imperial court's attention to pay attention to the entire Huguang region.

I didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, beyond everyone's expectations.

Miao Sanguan has just stabilized the north and south of the river and the east and west sides of Poyang Lake a little, and earth-shaking changes have taken place on both sides of the Yellow River, which caught everyone off guard and could only be stunned.
