Zu Dashou asked Hong Chengchou and the imperial court to send troops to help, knock out the nail inserted in Jinzhou's eyes in Yizhou, and strive to ensure the safety of Jinzhou.

Therefore, at this time, Chongzhen was in the country, and he was already ready to mobilize the army and prepare to keep the Ningjin defense line.

In fact, at this time, in Li Zixiao's view, the northern section of the Guanningjin Defense Line, which was presided over and constructed by Yuan Chonghuan back then, that is, the Ningjin Defense Line, had already become a rather embarrassing existence at this time.

Because, since the Tartars defeated the Mongols in the west and forced Lin Dan Khan to move westward, the Mongols north of Yanshan completely surrendered to the Tartars, and became the minions of the Tartars from the allies of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, the entire western part of Liaoning was left alone, becoming a lonely and weak protrusion, a long and narrow corridor, which penetrated hundreds of miles into the enemy's territory.

In terms of strategic role, Ning Jin's role as a barrier in the Guannai has basically been lost.

Prior to this, the Tartars had bypassed the Guanningjin defense line in western Liaoning several times, and broke through the Great Wall Pass to attack the pass from Jizhen in the north of Yanshan.

At this time, the Ningjin defense line, which was still holding on to the outside of the pass, not only could not play the role of the original barrier Jingshi, but even greatly lengthened the supply money of the Ming army.

Even, the Ming army, which spent the most elite soldiers and horses, was stationed far away from Gyeonggi, resulting in every time the Tartars entered the pass, the Ningjin defenders could neither resist the enemy nor reinforce the Beijing division in time.

Therefore, in Li Zixiao's view, the northern section of the Guanningjin defense line at this time, which is also the Ningjin defense line, is simply a chicken rib, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.

Although Ningjin can defend Shanhaiguan, in fact, the unique terrain of Shanhaiguan makes it extremely dangerous and difficult to be conquered by foreign enemies.

In history, Shanhaiguan has also been breached, but basically it has been broken from inside the pass, and there has never been a case of a frontal attack through Shanhaiguan from outside the pass.

At this time, if Li Zixiao was allowed to arrange, he could completely withdraw the Ningjin garrison to the Guannei and deploy defenses south of Yanshan and close to the Jingshi.

To the northeast, it is enough to leave Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan City.

In this way, the Ming army can completely rely on Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan, and then rely on the hinterland of the Beijing division to fight a war of attrition with the Tartars, and the war of attrition has always been something that they are more afraid of.

At this time, in the case of such a strong Tartar, for a lonely enclave outside the pass, he had to go out of the customs and fight with others.

Isn't that the same as having a home field, having to run to other people's turf to fight, and lose their advantages in vain!

Of course, this can't be blamed on Chongzhen, he is the emperor, but he is not very familiar with military affairs, he can only listen to his subordinate officials.

Who knows, these civil officials and ministers are all pig teammates, they don't know how to be flexible at all, they don't understand strategy, and Yuan Chonghuan, the only one who understands the strategy of Liaodong, was killed by Chongzhen.

In addition, at this time, because those Liaoxi generals headed by Zu Dashou had huge interests in Liaoxi, they were unwilling to withdraw from Liaoxi easily.

In this way, it forced the imperial court to keep to the line of Ningjin.

However, Huang Taiji has been staring at Jinzhou for a day or two, and this time the people have changed their strategy, using siege tactics to build a tuntian in Yizhou.

At this time, the imperial court can completely withdraw the Ningjin garrison to Shanhaiguan and firmly guard the line of mountains and seas in Jizhen.

As a result, the generals of the imperial court and Jiliao chose the lowest countermeasure, and sent a large army from the Central Plains to Jinzhou in order to keep Jinzhou City.

This is undoubtedly not the best chance for the Tartars to fight a decisive battle, the Tartars are worried that if the Ming army shrinks into the pass, it will be very difficult for them to knock open the turtle shell of Shanhaiguan.

After all, the Tartars' elite cavalry is powerful, but they are not good at attacking cities, and siege attrition battles have always been unwilling to be fought by Tartars.

led the main force to 400 miles outside the pass to conduct a strategic decisive battle with the enemy, Li Zixiao couldn't understand what the military ministers of the DPRK and China, as well as the generals of the Ming army in Jiliao, thought?

Even if Da Ming wants to fight a decisive battle with the Tartars, where and when can't it be carried out, why do you have to choose such a passive time and place?

Gathering a large number of soldiers and horses to Jinzhou, this is a practice of accelerating suicide, the more soldiers, the greater the consumption, and the greater the supply pressure.

The Ming army had a supply line of more than 400 miles, and the supplies were all transported within the pass, which was extremely dangerous.

And Li Zixiao also knew that in a few months, the battle of Songjin between the Tartars and the Ming Dynasty would officially start, and this was also the last large-scale decisive battle between the Tartars and the Ming army.

In this way, it is not surprising that the Ming army will end in a fiasco, and it will also make the Ming lose its last elite, and from then on, the countdown to the demise of the Ming Dynasty has begun.

However, although Li Zixiao knew this, he did not intend to interfere in the Battle of Songjin, and at this time, it was not harmful for him that the Ming army lost in the Battle of Songjin.

Daming, it's time to die!

Only then can Li Zixiao go north justifiably, officially dominate the world, and even enter the capital.

Of course, Li Zixiao didn't plan to let Tartar go so smoothly and profit in the Battle of Songjin, and he would add to Tartar's blockage when the time came.

Anyway, there is still nearly half a year before the Battle of Songjin officially starts, and Li Zixiao can completely handle the matter of returning to Henan, and then take care of the outside of the Guan.

Otherwise, why did Li Zixiao want Zheng Zhilong to buy so many sea ships, Li Zixiao said that he would land in North Korea and attack Tatars, but in fact, he did not completely deceive Zheng Zhilong.

Li Zixiao said this, on the one hand, to dispel Zheng Zhilong's vigilance against him, but why not what Li Zixiao really wants to do!

………………………………

Turning his eyes back to the Central Plains, five days later, Li Zixiao, escorted by Qi Wei's 'Feiyu' cavalry battalion, went to Woniuling in Song County, preparing to meet with Li Zicheng.

When there were still ten miles away from Woniu Ridge, Qi Wei led the cavalry battalion to stop, and Quartz took ten guards to escort Li Zixiao to Woniu Ridge.

Li Zixiao walked more than Li Zicheng, he stood on Woniu Ridge, waited for a while, and saw more than a dozen cavalry coming.

Woniu Ridge is the name of the locals, but in fact it is just a small dirt slope, named because the shape resembles a reclining cow.

When he arrived at the foot of Woniu Ridge, Li Zicheng took a few guards and went up to Woniu Ridge.

Li Zixiao stood there, the two sides had already discovered each other, and Li Zixiao saw a middle-aged man walking in front, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dark complexion, and wearing ordinary people's clothes.

Li Zixiao doesn't have to guess to know that this person must be Li Zicheng, the famous King Chuang, and his appearance can only be said to be ordinary.

Moreover, today Li Zicheng is not wearing armor, but wearing the clothes of ordinary people, almost 1.75 meters tall, which is not short in this era.

However, if he walked on the road alone, absolutely no one would recognize that this was Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, who had disturbed the entire Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Although Li Zicheng was mediocre in appearance and dressed in ordinary clothes, his eyes exuded majesty, his face was cold, and when he walked towards Li Zixiao at this time, he was also looking at Li Zixiao.

Li Zixiao didn't know what Li Zicheng's first impression of him was in his heart at this time.

Li Zicheng led people over, walked to Li Zixiao and stood seven or eight steps away, staring at each other, not taking the lead in speaking, if there is a special effect at this time, there should be an electric spark in the air.

followed by several guards behind Li Zicheng, all of them were bear-backed, their eyes were cold, exuding iron and blood, except for the armor on their bodies that were a little shabby, they looked like veterans of a hundred battles.

Except for one figure, it was a middle-aged scholar with a smile on his face, and he kept looking at Li Zixiao when he came, and that smile made Li Zixiao always feel that this person was cunning.

And the quartz standing behind Li Zixiao is always vigilant against the other party to protect Li Zixiao's safety.

Li Zixiao kept smiling and looking at Li Zicheng, at this time Li Zixiao had even seen Chongzhen.

For the famous king Li Zicheng in history, Li Zixiao will not be excited or nervous when he sees him again.

In the end, it was Li Zicheng who spoke first, his tone was a little cold, and he said: "Li Zixiao, you invited this king to meet, and this king is here." ”

"Haha, King Chuang is worthy of being a hero, courageous, trustworthy, I would have heard of King Chuang's name a long time ago, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to see it, and today I finally got my wish."

Li Zixiao said with a smile.

"Okay, Li Zixiao, you don't say so many hypocritical things to this king, what kind of person are you, this king knows very well, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Li Zicheng hadn't let go of the previous defeat to Li Zixiao, and said in a cold tone.

"Haha, before discussing things with King Chuang, Ben will have a gift for King Chuang." After speaking, Li Zixiao beckoned.

The two guards in the back walked over with a figure.

"Shousu." After Li Zicheng saw the person who was escorted, he also shouted in surprise.

"King Chuang." After Dang Shousu saw Li Zicheng, he shouted excitedly and wanted to rush over, but was held by the two guards behind.

"The surname is Li, what do you mean by that? Do you want to blackmail this king? Li Zicheng stared at Li Zixiao coldly and asked.

"Of course not, Ben Jiang has said it, this is a gift from Ben Jiang to King Chuang, which is my sincerity to cooperate with King Chuang."

Li Zixiao kept smiling, and then said to the two guards: "Let them go!" The two guards let go of the party's guards.

Seeing that Li Zixiao really ordered people to let Dang Shousu go, Li Zicheng's eyes when he looked at Li Zixiao also became much softer, and he was not as hostile as he was just now.

Dang Shousu is regarded as the elder brother who started with Li Zicheng, and he is loyal to Li Zicheng.

Subsequently, there was no news, so much time has passed, and even Li Zicheng has already suspected that Dang Shousu was killed by Li Zixiao, and he hates Li Zixiao even more in his heart.

I have to say that at this time, Li Zixiao released Dang Shousu unscathed, which really made Li Zicheng feel less resentful of Li Zixiao, and made a good start to the meeting between the two.

"King Chuang, please!"

At this time, Li Zicheng didn't say anything about the run, and walked directly to a dilapidated stone pavilion that Li Zixiao had sent someone to clean up a long time ago and sat down.

"Tell me, how do you want to work together?" Li Zicheng asked Li Zixiao directly.

"Actually, it's very simple, I can help you conquer Luoyang, and let my army not interfere with your battle to capture Luoyang, and even trade with you for food, armor, etc.

And after you capture Luoyang, you have to pay me 10 million taels of silver, and I don't want the food and armor in the city, but the craftsmen in the city, you have to hand it over to us.

At the same time, you must ensure that after taking Luoyang, you will not advance eastward to attack Kaifeng. ”

Li Zixiao took a breath and said his conditions.

As a result, Li Zicheng said angrily: "What? Ten million taels, you really dare to speak! This is impossible, you can't let my subordinates fight to the death to defeat Luoyang, and you will take all the benefits, and you want to be beautiful.

As for the other conditions, it is acceptable, but the last one, it is absolutely impossible not to enter Kaifeng in the east. ”

Li Zicheng sneered in his heart: Damn, if Lao Tzu really wants to defeat Luoyang, he will obtain a huge amount of wealth in Luoyang City, sufficient food and good armor weapons.

The rich Kaifeng Mansion in the east is Lao Tzu's next target.

Don't let Lao Tzu go east into Kaifeng, where can Lao Tzu rob it, Shaanxi has long had land left, Shanxi has already Song Xiance gone, and the western part of Henan has long been beaten to pieces, where else can he fight except Kaifeng.

Of course, in the rich land south of the Yangtze River in the south, Li Zicheng naturally covets it, but it's a pity that he can't get by, so he will never agree to Li Zixiao's last one.

They can still negotiate the first few conditions, but the last one is not possible.

Li Zixiao actually knew that it was unrealistic not to let Li Zicheng enter Kaifeng in the east, and he just mentioned it casually, and he didn't expect Li Zicheng to agree.

Who knew that at this time, Niu Jinxing was standing behind Li Zicheng, but he took the initiative to speak: "If General Li agrees to provide my family with food, weapons and armor for 100,000 horses free of charge, my family can consider agreeing to this condition." ”

Burst!

After Li Zixiao listened to Niu Jinxing's words, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Niu Jinxing and asked, "This must be the first strategist under the throne, Niu Jinxing."

It's better to be famous than to meet, Mr. Niu's words today made Ben Jiang admire, does Mr. Niu think Ben will be that kind of stupid person? ”

Saying that, there was already a trace of anger in Li Zixiao's words.

"Haha, Lord Li is not angry, just think that the little one farted just now, and the adults should not have heard it."

Niu Jinxing knew that his thoughts had been seen through by Li Zixiao, and he hurriedly smiled and apologized. 、

His little abacus did not succeed, but he must not affect the cooperation between Li Zicheng and Li Zixiao, so he could only make amends in a low voice in exchange for Li Zixiao's forgiveness.

Just kidding, Li Zicheng wants to exchange for 100,000 troops' grain, grass and ordnance with a promise, you girl, you really think Lao Tzu is an idiot!

What you rogues say, it's not good to hear, it's almost like a fart, who dares to really believe it, there is no basis for empty words, when Li Zicheng's strength grows, it's strange if he doesn't backtrack.

Niu Jinxing actually has this idea in his heart, if they can at this time, with a dispensable promise.

deceived 100,000 troops from Li Zixiao, no, it was the grain, grass and ordnance of 10,000 troops, and they could all cry happily.

It's a pity, Li Zixiao is not stupid, how can he agree.
