Li Zicheng asked: "Guoxiong, if you want to vote for me and serve me as the master, do you want to continue to maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty?" You're not going to look at it twice, are you? And since you are my lord, you must offer advice or a plan that is beneficial to me, right? ”

Zhang Biwu said truthfully: "King, I have a plan, that is, to lure the enemy deeper. Once Sun Chuanting's battle line is too long, the supply is insufficient, and the soldiers are tired, his military strength and military spirit will be greatly reduced, and his army's combat strength will be greatly reduced. And the most critical point is that when the Ming army is defeated, as long as it is farther away from Tongguan, then the troops who retreat to Tongguan will be less, and they will not be able to keep the Guannei and Shaanxi! ”

"If he fights in the area of Tongguan, the terrain here is narrow, which is not conducive to the operation of the large army, then it will be difficult to eliminate him, and even if he defeats Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting's men and horses will soon be able to retreat to Guanzhong, preserve their strength, and cannot achieve a decisive role! The pass will still be under the control of the Ming army, and the king doesn't know when he will be able to enter the pass! ”

"Yes!" Li Zicheng patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Guoxiong, you and Gu, as well as Mr. Niu and Li Yan, they want to go together!" If you lure the enemy deeper, you will be able to better destroy Sun Chuanting! Due to Sun Chuanting's continuous victories, he doesn't want to go deeper, and Chongzhen can't help him, and will let him take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy us! At that time, it was Sun Chuanting who fought against Sun Chuanting, who had a long battle line! Ha Lu Ha! ”

Zhang Biwu heard this, he was a little sad, Li Zicheng calculated Chongzhen accurately, if Chongzhen's heart was not in a hurry, he could let go and let his ministers do things without interfering, maybe the Ming Dynasty would not perish! It is precisely because of Chongzhen's character that later generations have said it. If only the Emperor of the Apocalypse could live longer. Maybe when facing Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. If you don't kill the ministers, the Ming Dynasty will not perish.

Of course, history has no assumptions, and the speculation of future generations based on ancient events is only speculation!

Now a pair of eyes are looking at Zhang Biwu! After all, they still don't believe Zhang Biwu's surrender.

Li Zicheng asked, "Guoxiong, I don't know what you're thinking?" Zhang Biwu replied truthfully: "King, the last general is sentimental!" Chongzhen just doesn't know how to use people, and he doesn't have one-ten-thousandth of the king's wisdom and martial arts, otherwise, how could the Ming Dynasty fall so quickly? Alas! It's providence! Eighteen sons are destined to sit in the country! ”

Li Zicheng has been the generalissimo since he became a generalissimo. Everyone around him flattered him, and now he is used to hearing flattery, Zhang Biwu's flattery, he is very useful when he hears it.

For this reason, Li Zicheng laughed and said, "Okay! Kunixiong, you said it well! Now that you've thought of a clever plan to break Sun Chuanting! So have you made a great contribution to my Dashun? ”

Zhang Biwu replied: "I just said that I am a Ming general, I don't want to start a war with the old master, and if I hold the pass of Lingbao." It is conducive to the king's soldiers to enter Tongguan and thus enter Shaanxi. In Chang'an! I have heard that Chongzhen has a holy decree for Zuo Liangyu to send troops quickly, Zuo Liangyu wants to join me, I am afraid that he will really send troops. So I have to stay in Lingbao, Zuo Liangyu doesn't want to be the enemy of the king, as soon as he hears that I will defend the territory, he will be like me, ignoring Chongzhen's holy decree, and staying in Wuchang, as long as Zuo Liangyu and Sun Chuanting will not be together, the king will be able to eliminate Sun Chuanting! ”

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Zhang Biwu, in this way, do you want to contain Zuo Liangyu for Lone, and prevent Zuo Liangyu from joining forces with Sun Chuanting to become Lone's enemy?" However, if Zuo Liangyu wants to come, he has to pass through the lonely Xiangjing, Xiangjing has a heavy army, and Zuo Liangyu can't do it even if he thinks about it again! Ha Lu Ha! ”

Li Zicheng said so, and he also knew that Zuo Liangyu really went north, which was a great threat to him! If you want to avoid it, you have to avoid it as much as possible.

Li Zicheng laughed, and his civil and military ministers all laughed with him. Zhang Biwu didn't make a sound, just listened to a group of people laughing.

At this time, Niu Jinxing appeared on the stage and jumped out to accuse Zhang Biwu: "Okay, you Zhang Biwu!" You don't really want to be a king! You're just preserving your strength! Want to be a hero in this troubled world, yes or no? ”

As soon as he said this, Liu Zongmin jumped out first and said, "I don't think you Zhang Biwu is a good person!" If you want to be as you said, you should be loyal to Chongzhen, instead of repeatedly contradicting Chongzhen! Hum! You're not a good thing! As soon as Liu Zongmin finished speaking, with a "bang", his sword was unsheathed.

Zhang Biwu looked at Li Zicheng and said: "King, if I don't come sincerely, why should I come in person, I can send a messenger to come, if I come, it is equivalent to trusting the king, the king will not be a hero in the world!" Accommodating! The king will not kill me! ”

Zhang Biwu didn't say hard or soft words, what he thought in his heart was: "What's more, if I die, my 20,000 horses will be swallowed up by Sun Chuanting, and they will become terrible enemies if they are bent on avenging me!" At that time, it will give Li Zicheng danger! But I know that this will never happen! Because Li Zicheng understands this better than anyone else! ”

Of course, as Zhang Biwu thought, Li Zicheng did think of this, he looked at Niu Jinxing, the reason why Niu Jinxing jumped out was because he wanted to expose Zhang Biwu's strategy to preserve his strength, not to let Zhang Biwu look down on him, and at the same time scare Zhang Biwu, so that Zhang Biwu could be honest, and it was best to do his best to work hard for Li Ziwu.

Li Zicheng turned to Liu Zongmin, and said with righteousness: "Jiexuan, Guoxiong is a guest in person, not to mention how much he has a friendship with us, we have to treat him well, but we can't move the guy!" I'd rather Zhang Biwu bear the lonely first, and the lonely can't bear him first! Isn't it? ”

Liu Zongmin blew his beard and glared at his eyes and said: "Our king is merciful, Zhang Biwu, you said that you don't meet the Holy Monarch, but now that you meet the Holy Monarch, if you treat Chongzhen like you do, we will not let you go!" As long as you protect the king with us, the glory and wealth will not stand you! Xu Da and other famous generals in history will also have your share! ”

Zhang Biwu doesn't have any good opinions about Liu Zongmin, if he hadn't blindly forced him to pay in Beijing, he wouldn't have let Li Zicheng fail so quickly, but Liu Zongmin has won Li Zicheng's trust, and he can't offend this Liu blacksmith if he has to bow his head now.

Zhang Biwu clenched his fists and said, "Yes!" The chief whistle Liu Ye has learned a lesson! Guoxiong will definitely try his best to protect the king from sitting on the country! I only hope that when I recover Liaodong in the future, I can be sent to serve the king! ”

This is said to be Li Zicheng's heart, they have never fought with the Tartars, although I heard that the army and the Tartars have been defeated repeatedly, but only Zhang Biwu can take advantage and win. Therefore, Li Zicheng thought that if he wanted to recover Liaodong in the future, he would have to rely on Zhang Biwu.

And Li Zicheng's idea is not to ask Zhang Biwu to join his army to help him eliminate Sun Chuanting, but to hope that Zhang Biwu remains neutral, which is the best.

Li Zicheng said: "It's good! Guoxiong, when Xu Da drove the Yuan people back to the desert, and my Xu Da of Dashun will be you Zhang Biwu! You will recover Liaodong and achieve even more brilliant achievements than Xu Da! I know that you are more eager to make contributions than anyone else, and under my Li Zicheng, there are many achievements for you to build! You will be more brilliant than the achievements of Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Jing, Xu Da, etc.! All right! You can return to Lingbao now! Lone said, I'd rather you bear Lone first, Lone never bear you first! ”

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he hugged Li Zicheng with a fist, and then left.

When Zhang Biwu was leaving, he also deliberately said something to Li Yan, saying that Li Zicheng was no longer Li Zicheng who had just entered Henan before, and maybe he would become the same as Chongzhen in the future.

Li Yan felt from the beginning that Li Zicheng no longer trusted him as much as before, even if he reluctantly obeyed, he was not happy in his heart!

Zhang Biwu reminded that he would be harmed by Li Zicheng, and Li Yan believed it, because now Li Zicheng has extremely distrust of Li Yan. Li Yan only smiled at Zhang Biwu, now that he and Li Zicheng have been decided, then he can only do his best to assist Li Zicheng, even if the tragedy of the murder of the most loyal minister falls on his head, he will not care about it! He would rather be a loyal minister than betray Li Zicheng even to death!

Zhang Biwu knew that he couldn't persuade Li Yan, there was no way, he would find a way to save Li Yan in the future.

Zhang Biwu and Li Yan talked happily with each other, and Zhang Biwu and Li Yan became brothers with different surnames. What they didn't expect was that these were all detected by Niu Jinxing, and in Li Zicheng's account, Niu Jinxing was most afraid that someone would threaten his position, and this person was only Li Yan. Therefore, the contradiction between him and Li Yan is becoming more and more intensified, he is full of jealousy towards Li Yan, and he can't wait to get rid of Li Yan.

For this reason, Niu Jinxing sent people to secretly pay attention to Zhang Biwu and Li Yan's every move, and even Li Yan had people from Niu Jinxing installed around him, but Li Yan didn't know all this. Others are bent on calculating you, but you are not wary at all, so why don't you let others kill you?

As soon as Niu Jinxing knew that Zhang Biwu advised Li Yan to be careful, Li Zicheng would kill Li Yan in the future, Li Yan had better be on guard, and said something more vinegared.

And Niu Jinxing also said the most important thing - Zhang Biwu did not surrender to Li Zicheng, but to Li Yan, and in Zhang Biwu's heart, only Li Yan is his real master.

He did not bow down to Li Yan, but to establish his and Li Yan's monarchy. Otherwise, why did Zhang Biwu go to Li Yan first instead of Li Zicheng first? This shouldn't be!

When Li Zicheng heard this, he just smiled, although he pretended not to take it seriously on the surface, but these things set off a wave in his heart, making him uneasy! Let him want to be crooked, let him get rid of the most loyal ministers and lose his arms! (To be continued......)
