"Qi King Chen Yue?" Li Guo asked tentatively.

Chen Yue smiled slightly: "It's this king, but the opposite side is Li Guo, the general of Da Shunquan?"

Li Guo nodded: "Exactly, thank you King Qi for calling General Shunquan in Xia Da instead of a thief." ”

Chen Yue said with a smile: "Uncle Ling Li Zicheng is also a generation of heroes, if it weren't for bad luck, maybe he could replace the Ming Dynasty." Although you are a rebel of the Ming Dynasty, since you have already founded the country and become the emperor, you should give some respect. The so-called rebellious thieves, the so-called officials and soldiers, are just victories and defeats. ”

Li Guo praised: "The King of Qi is open-minded, and he is worthy of being a hero who can turn the tide for the Ming Dynasty and expel the Manchurians!" ”

Chen Yue has actually always admired the generals of the Shun army, and he does not have the attitude that later generations often called the peasant army thieves on the Internet. Where there is oppression, there is resistance, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the people could not survive, and it was natural for them to take risks and rebel.

Many people insult and slander the peasant army at every turn, saying that they are the source of the scourge and that they will cause harm wherever they go. The person who says this starves himself for a week, and then talks about how he feels after extreme hunger.

In many cases, it is not the people who want to rebel, but the government's inaction, if the Ming government does well, if the people can eat enough, how many people will be willing to rebel? After all, careerists are only a minority.

Thinking that Li Zicheng was just a post station groom, and Li Guo was just a farmer who farmed the land, where did he have the intention of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty and replacing him, if it wasn't for Chongzhen's abolition of the world's post station and making Li Zicheng unemployed, if it weren't for the continuous collection of taxes and miscellaneous taxes under the catastrophe for many years, how many people would be willing to take risks?

Therefore, Chen Yue has always had an understanding attitude towards the peasant army, and of course this attitude does not prevent him from raising the butcher knife against the peasant army, after all, many times it is the butt that decides the head.

And now, when he finally gained absolute superiority over the peasant army and was sure to control the situation in the whole world, Chen Yue did not mind showing kindness and releasing his kindness.

And Li Guo, since the rebellion with his uncle Li Zicheng, has long regarded the official army as a mortal enemy. However, the official army is a mortal enemy, and the defeat of the Shun army directly led to the defeat of the Shun country is a life and death enemy, so Chen Yue's killing of hundreds of thousands of Manchus is equivalent to indirectly avenging the Shun army. Therefore, Li Guo also admired Chen Yue's expulsion from the bottom of his heart.

Although the two sides are hostile, they cherish each other, which is the current situation of Chen Yue and Li Guo.

After the greetings, Li Guo asked about Chen Yue's intention to make an appointment.

"King Qi, if you want to see me have something, just say it." Li Guo said straightforwardly. The men of northern Shaanxi don't like to go around in circles.

Chen Yue's smile disappeared, and his expression became serious: "General Quan, although Chen Yue admires Uncle Ling and nephew very much, you and I are still hostile now.

At present, although your army occupies the entire territory of Shaanxi, its strength has also grown to hundreds of thousands. But you also know the current situation, General Quan. After the expulsion of Manchu, the Ming Dynasty must deal with the Shun army and the western army occupying Sichuan, in order to eliminate the war and make the world return to peace.

The Shun army is also considered to be strong, but General Quan, you also know in your heart that it will definitely not be compared with the hundreds of thousands of Northern Expeditionary Army that I defeated the Eight Banners.

Therefore, in the next battle, the outcome of your army can be imagined.

General Quan, the matter has come to this, don't you think about the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and families under your subordinates? ”

Li Guo sneered: "King Qi, I admit that your subordinates' combat strength is stronger than our army. However, although our army has suffered a small defeat, its strength is not damaged, and now there are still Tongguan and the Yellow River to defend. And I'm afraid the situation in the Ming Dynasty is not as good as you say, right? As far as I know, the Western Army under Ainengqi is now attacking the city in Fujian and Zhejiang, and its military might is approaching Nanjing. King Qi, now that you are not in a hurry to return to King Qin in Nanjing, and you still have time to fight with our army, aren't you afraid that your emperor Lao Tzu will blame you? Or do you really have the ambition to replace the Ming as rumored? ”

Chen Yue said with a smile: "General Quan is really well-informed, but your news is just hearsay, and you don't know the truth at all." ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Li Guo sneered.

Chen Yue groaned slightly, feeling that it didn't matter if he said it to Li Guo, although the two sides belonged to two camps, Li Guo and the Ming Dynasty had nothing to do with it, and now that the general trend had been decided, it didn't matter if Li Guo knew his plans. And if you want to persuade Li Guo, you can't help but make the situation clear to him.

So, Chen Yue told Li Guo the truth summary of the Ainengqi rebels.

"Now Your Majesty has compromised, made the princess the crown princess, and summoned me to bring troops back to Beijing to marry me and the princess. Now it can be said that the whole of Daming is under my control, but considering that your Shun army is always a threat, I plan to settle this matter and return to Beijing later. Chen Yue said at the end.

Listening to Chen Yue's story about the turbulent events that happened in the Ming Dynasty, Li Guo's eyes widened more and more, and he was simply amazed. The internal struggle in the Ming Dynasty was fierce beyond his imagination.

"It is rumored all over the world that King Qi is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect that you could do such a rebellious thing, which is really unexpected." In the end, Li Guo could only sigh.

Li Guo himself was a thief in the Ming Dynasty, so he had no rebellious psychology towards Chen Yue's rebellion against the Ming Emperor, and in Li Guo's consciousness, the reason why he and his uncle Li Zicheng would take risks and rebel was completely forced by the Ming Emperor and the government. And Chen Yue's ability to resist the Ming Dynasty emperor gave him a vague sense of identity in his heart.

"So, King Qi, are you ready to replace the Ming Dynasty and establish yourself as the emperor? That's why you want to persuade us to take refuge in your new dynasty? Li Guo looked at Chen Yue with blazing eyes.

"Self-proclaimed emperor?" Chen Yue smiled slightly: "I have no interest in being an emperor. ”

Seeing Li Guo's look of disbelief, Chen Yue had to explain: "Really, you haven't seen the emperor, and you don't know what kind of life the emperor is living."

Staying in the Forbidden City all his life, although he has fine clothes and food, he actually doesn't have much freedom. Although rich from all over the world, the treasury is often poor, and life is inferior to that of many gentry?

The Yellow River is flooding, the drought in Shaanxi, the earthquake in Hebei, the rebellion of thieves, and the invasion of foreign enemies, everything has to be worried.

All day long with a group of ministers, I am afraid of being cheated, this kind of day is unimaginable for ordinary people. ”

This was Chen Yue's heartfelt feeling, but Li Guo just shook his head in disbelief. Who in this world doesn't want to be an emperor, doesn't want to be an emperor, what do you do with so many things? Li Guo said secretly in his heart.

"In short, the emperor is not a good deal. I persecuted Your Majesty not to be the emperor, but for the whole world. Seeing Li Guo's disbelief, Chen Yue could only reluctantly say in the end.
