Thinking of the general's entrustment, Liu Heizi was very attentive, pretending to hold Niu Jinxing's hand affectionately, and said: "It turns out that it is still a person, Mr. is very talented, and King Chuang will definitely be reused." However, King Chuang is discussing important matters with the generals now, and he may not have a chance to meet Mr. for a while, so why don't you go to my residence for a cup of tea and rest for a while? ”

Niu Jinxing was not the prime minister of Dashun at this time, just a scholar who wanted to get ahead, seeing that the other party seemed to be an important figure in the Dashun army, he had no defense, and he couldn't imagine that the other party's behind-the-scenes boss was a time-traveler who knew history well, knew his future fate, and wanted to nip him, the chief minister of Dashun, in the bud, so he just replied sincerely at the moment: "Then bother this adult......"

Liu Heizi took Niu Jinxing and chatted while slowly walking deep into an alley, followed by several people from the Intelligence Department.

"Mr. is from Baofeng County, do you know a person named Song Xiance?" Song Xiance is the person who later offered the proverb of "Eighteen Sons, the Main Artifact", and he is also one of the few think tanks around Li Zicheng, which was recommended by Niu Jinxing.

Niu Jinxing shook his head blankly: "Song Xiance? I don't know ......."

Liu Heizi stared for a moment, and found that the other party's expression did not seem to be fake, thinking that maybe the two didn't know each other at this time, so he put his mind at ease and continued to ask: "Then Li Yan and Li Gongzi must not know each other either?" ”

Niu Jinxing continued to shake his head: "I don't know ...... either"

"Very good, haha......" Liu Heizi snorted while looking at the surrounding environment. Seeing that he had come to a secluded and uninhabited place in the alley, and there was no one around, he glanced at several people from the Intelligence Division.

Several people approached silently, one suddenly covered Niu Jinxing's mouth, and one hit him on the back of the head with the handle of a knife, Niu Jinxing passed out before he could resist.

Liu Heizi instructed: "Put it in a sack, tie it with stones, and wait until it gets dark to feed the fish in the river." ”

Seeing Niu Jinxing being put into a hemp bag, Liu Heizi thought to himself, without his introduction, then Song Xiance would not have appeared, right?

Because of the rainy day in the summer south, Niu Jinxing, the future prime minister of Dashun, disappeared silently, and he didn't know why he encountered such a "poisonous hand" until he sank to the bottom of the river, and the proprietor Li Zicheng didn't even know that such a person had appeared.

As Liu Heizi expected, after Niu Jinxing was buried at the bottom of the river, until the Dashun army entered Beijing, the character of Song Xiance never appeared. And Li Yan has never seen a trace from beginning to end, and it seems that there is no such person in the world at all.

Lacking a think-tank character to give advice, Li Zicheng was easily bewitched, and under the guidance of Xia Nan, he walked into the pre-set trap step by step. In fact, even without the guidance of Xia Nan, after holding an army of 500,000 troops, Li Zicheng and his subordinates' self-confidence also swelled rapidly, and it was only a matter of time before they went north, but under Xia Nan's deliberate arrangement, the Dashun army did not have any swaying and hesitation, and went straight to the topic, saving a lot of time.

In late June of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Dashun Army, which had reorganized its military horses, officially waved its army north. Due to the easy capture of Luoyang, the "strong" of the Dashun army shocked the state capitals in Henan, and the officers and soldiers who had been transferred more than half of the troops did not dare to block its edge, and fled in despair, so that the Dashun army easily broke through Huaiqing Mansion and Weihui Mansion, and entered the territory of Beizhili Daming Mansion (now Daming County, Hebei Province), threatening the safety of the Beijing Division, and engulfing the displaced people along the way, and the power was getting bigger and bigger like a snowball.

Li Zicheng started from a high Yingxiang general, to the self-proclaimed king of Chuang has only been more than a year, originally not taken seriously, Hong Chengchou's main energy for encirclement and suppression is used to deal with Zhang Xianzhong and others, Chongzhen has only occasionally seen this name in the twists and turns. No one could have imagined that in a short period of time, this person would jump out of the encirclement of officers and soldiers in Shaanxi and move into Henan, and within a few months he would grow into the strongest group among the rogue gangsters, and he also put forward a "reactionary program" of not paying for food, and made a posture of attacking the Beijing division, which caused panic among the government and the opposition.

Chongzhen hurriedly summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures and how to deal with this sudden rise of the rogue army.

The rise of Li Zicheng messed up Yang Sichang's "four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net" plan, the original initial results of the thief encountered a head-on blow, and the Fu King Zhu Changxun was brutally murdered, and spent a lot of effort to suppress the thief but watched the emperor's uncle stewed human broth by the thief, which made the face-loving Chongzhen's face gloomy, although he did not directly blame Yang Sichang, but made him feel a lot of pressure.

Yang Sichang knew that the fundamental reason for the fall of Luoyang and the killing of King Fu was that the officers and soldiers of the thieves missed Li Zicheng, and the direct reason was that he had transferred too many troops from Henan in order to prevent the so-called possible "attack" of the Qiong Navy in the south and eastern Liaodong, resulting in the emptiness of troops in Luoyang and other important cities. Now the emperor doesn't blame himself, because he still trusts himself, but there are not many opportunities left for him, if he can't suppress this stream of gangsters in time, no matter how much trust he has, he will be overdrawn, and his fate will not be much better than that of his father Yang He.

After thinking about it for a while, he took the lead in standing up and expressing his opinion: "Your Majesty, the rogues seem to be powerful, but in fact, most of them are women, children, old and weak, and as long as their main force is defeated in a battle, the so-called hundreds of thousands of troops will disappear." The minister suggested: Mobilize the soldiers and horses of Beizhili to Baoding Mansion and Hejian Mansion nearby, block Li Thief from going north, and then order Hong Chengchou to return to Beijing with his army, attack from the north and south, and complete his work in one battle, completely strangling Li Thief. ”

This proposal was approved by many people. Because of the defense of the Qiong Navy, the forces of Beizhili and Henan are concentrated in Baoding Mansion, Tianjin Wei, and Yongping Mansion, and now as long as they are slightly adjusted, they can become a barrier to block Li Zicheng.

But Wen Tiren, whose butt has been completely deviated, expressed a different opinion. He came out and said: "Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou must not be easily transferred. Although Li Zicheng is temporarily powerful, Zhang Xianzhong in the southwest is also not to be underestimated, plus Luo Rucai and his ilk, all rely on Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and others to suppress them, so that the southwest will not be in chaos. If in order to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng and make the southwest empty, wouldn't it become a headache doctor? At that time, as soon as the southwest army withdrew, Zhang Xianzhong and others were unsuppressed, and the demons danced wildly, coercing the chaotic people, would the threat be smaller than Li Zicheng today? ”

Yang Sichang had nothing to say for a while. The plan of "four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net" was put forward by him, and it was also strongly supported by Chongzhen, and the transfer of Hong Chengchou and others to return to Beizhili was actually a disguised negation of his own strategy, and he fell into Wen Tiren's theory of "headache and head and foot pain".
