Yang Sichang told Gao Qiqian the news, and Gao Qiqian's reply to Ke said: "Ge Lao, we can't take this matter lightly!" You must know that Zhang Biwu is not of the same heart as us! And against us many times! ”

"Maybe Lu Xiangsheng is what he hid, and when the time is right, he wants to bring us down! Zhang Biwu is very ambitious! Maybe there is still a heart of disobedience! For Your Majesty, we all have to get rid of this wolf! If Lu Xiangsheng is still alive, he must kill Lu Xiangsheng and not let Lu Xiangsheng have a chance to make a comeback! ”

Yang Sichang naturally knew that Gao Qiqian was exaggerating, but how could he make up his mind if he didn't say that?

Yang Sichang thinks that it is most important to find out the exact news of Lu Xiangsheng first, to find out whether Lu Xiangsheng is dead or not! Gao Qiqian also nodded yes, and they stepped up their planning for this matter.

Yang Sichang wants to find Lu Xiangsheng, so his energy to exterminate Zhang Xianzhong must have been dispersed and used for two purposes.

Compared with Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, who wanted to harm Zhongliang, Chongzhen was reviewing the chapters, and he was worrying about state affairs every day.

"Ahem!" Chongzhen was coughing, his cold hadn't healed yet. Wang Chengen hurriedly came to Chongzhen and knelt down, and said, "Emperor, please go and rest quickly!" The dragon body is important! ”

"Alas!" Chongzhen sighed and said, "Wang Companion, how can you let me rest?" Zhang Xianzhong rebelled and couldn't exterminate him! And Li Zicheng made trouble in Shangluo Mountain, and wanted to highlight Shangluo Mountain to meet Zhang Xianzhong. If the two thieves meet, it will be even more difficult to clean up! Alas! But Zheng Chongjian is helpless! What incompetence! And at this time, the Tartars came to attack Ningyuan again! I ......"

Chongzhen shook his head helplessly when he said this, he stood up, and suddenly felt dizzy, and then a big sneeze, suddenly his eyes were full of gold stars, and he couldn't stand steadily, but fortunately, Wang Chengen was quick to pounce and helped Chongzhen.

"Imperial ......" Chongzhen didn't wait for Wang Chengen to speak, so he said: "Okay! Wang Companion, I have nothing to do! I still have to review these pieces, and I still have to think about the thief and the border preparation! I'm in good health! It's okay! ”

Wang Chengen knew the character of Chongzhen, and he didn't dare to say it anymore, so he had to retreat to the other side worriedly.

"Ahem!" Chongzhen had just finished reading a Tang newspaper, and he couldn't help but pick up the zhu pen and just wanted to approve a few words, but he coughed.

"Your Majesty! Take care of your dragon's body! Wang Chengen couldn't help but kneel down and pleaded. Chongzhen pointed out and shouted: "Give me out!" "Chongzhen wants to have a quiet ear!" Alas! Wang Chengen finally sighed, and he had no choice but to go out.

Chongzhen suffered from a cold, and he should have rested and slept a lot, but he was still fighting hard to review it, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and the Qing army made him unable to relax and did not dare to relax.

Although what he thought in his mind was, "I want to sleep so much!" I'm really sleepy! I'm so dizzy! But then a thought drove him to persevere: "No! I must hold on! The suppression of thieves and Jingbian are both major national events! It's about the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty! I am the master of Zhongxing, and I will definitely be able to hold on and finish reading these pieces! ”

Chongzhen thought about this, so he continued to review the recital, repeating such things every day.

In the end, Chongzhen couldn't bear it anymore, he fell asleep on the imperial case, and his nose was still runny with snot. Wang Chengen hurriedly came over and asked Chongzhen to be lifted and put on the dragon couch, so that Chongzhen could rest well.

Although Chongzhen is diligent in government, his ministers, especially the civil official group, are intriguing. Even Zheng Chongjian, who wanted to kill the thief for him, was powerless.

Because the Qin soldiers led by Zheng Chongjian were able to fight hard battles in addition to He Renlong and Li Guoqi's men and horses, the main army that could fight well had been taken away by Hong Chengchou to Liaodong, and famous generals like Cao Bianjiao also went to Liaodong with Hong Chengchou, so although Zheng Chongjian had many soldiers, his combat power was not strong, and it was difficult to eat Li Zicheng.

However, due to the spread of the plague in Li Zicheng's army, he has not been able to kill from Shangluo Mountain for a long time, and now that the illness of the soldiers is almost cured, then he can kill it! In terms of Zheng Chongjian, who has no elite, they can't stop Li Zicheng.

In addition, Li Zicheng is good at using tricks, Zheng Chongjian and his people were deceived, Zheng Chongjian also set up an ambush to want Li Zicheng to drill in, but Li Zicheng was not fooled, but played Zheng Chongjian with a plan. Let Zheng Chongjian tie his pockets in vain, and he couldn't wait for more, but he received the news that Li Zicheng attacked Wuguan and wanted to go out of Wuguan to Huguang to meet Zhang Xianzhong.

Even if the generals of the Qin army knew that Li Zicheng was in Wuguan, the soldiers under Zheng Chongjian did not dare to fight Li Zicheng to the death, and when Zheng Chongjian led the army to come, Wuguan was the men and horses left by Li Zicheng to hold Wuguan and thus drag Zheng Chongjian and them.

Zheng Chongjian thought that Li Zicheng's men and horses were still in Wuguan, and stepped up the attack. He Renlong and Li Guoqi both suffered from Li Zicheng's lessons, and they knew that the people and horses of the Tao were the capital, and they didn't have many people, so they wanted to protect the capital, so they naturally didn't try their best to attack, but just dealt with it casually.

He Renlong and Li Guoqi did not contribute to the work, so did the other armies, Zheng Chongjian could not help even if he was anxious in the face of this situation. It was precisely in this way that the men and horses left behind by Li Zicheng of Wuguan successfully completed the blocking task and were able to retreat safely.

Li Zicheng's men and horses set out from Wuguan and headed for Huguang. At this moment, there was a person standing in front of him, and Li Zicheng stopped.

I saw clearly, this person was Zhong Yaofa. Zhong Yaofa saluted: "The prince is polite!" Liu Fangliang looked at him and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Zhong Yaofa said: "Can you not let so many people know that I am here!" Of course, Liu Fangliang understood the reason why Zhong Yaofa asked for this, so he turned his head to Li Zicheng.

Gao Guiying also smiled at Li Zicheng, of course Li Zicheng understood, so he asked many people to avoid it, so that he could hear Zhong Yaofa's intention.

Zhong Yaofa then relayed Zhang Biwu's words: "Because the garrison of my family has predicted, King Chuang will definitely not be in the plan of the governor of the three sides, but will attack Wuguan from Wuguan through Huguang, and I am specially ordered to wait here, and I wish King Chuang to go to meet Zhang Xianzhong, there will be no obstacles!" Just let me remind King Chuang, Zhang Xianzhong is determined to be in the world, since ancient times, Zhang Xianzhong is not broad-minded and it will be difficult to tolerate King Chuang, and please take care of yourself! ”

"What?" Li Zicheng couldn't help but look at Zhong Yaofa when he heard it, and he thought in his heart: "Zhang Biwu saw it?" And he's got people waiting here! ”

Zhong Yaofa continued: "King Chuang, you should know that when you went to Gucheng last year to persuade Zhang Xianzhong to raise troops, his subordinates like the military advisor Xu Yixian and others wanted to kill you!" There is no mercy to those who have achieved great things since ancient times! Therefore, King Chuang is careful of Zhang Xianzhong's assassination! At the same time, I was sent here to remind that although King Chuang is determined to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, he can't let the Tartars outside the gate take advantage of it! Even if the Ming Dynasty is sitting in the country, it is always us Han people! I hope that when necessary, King Chuang will not forget the Han people and can fight the Qing army together! ”

When Zhong Yaofa said this, he bowed deeply and said, "Lord Chuang, if you are a guard in my family, I hope you can consider it in detail!" ”

Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Okay! Please tell Zhang Biwu that I am very grateful for his advice. I made an appointment with Zhang Xianzhong last year, and when I was working with him, I would also raise my banner to fight side by side with him! If people don't have faith, they won't stand, so I will definitely go to Zhang Xianzhong! ”

"Take care!" Zhong Yaofa bowed deeply, and then he whistled, and a horse galloped towards him, and he jumped on the horse and walked away.

Li Zichang sighed and said, "This Zhang Biwu is really a talent!" It's a pity that he is willing to be the eagle dog of the court, if he can start an incident with us, he will definitely be able to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and re-establish a new dynasty! ”

Li Shuangxi, who was beside him, asked: "Father, since Zhang Biwu expected that we would pass by here, as an eagle dog of the imperial court, why didn't he lead the army to ambush us here!" Does he really want to let us go? ”

"Humph!" Li Zicheng let out of his nostrils and said, "What do you know! It's not that Zhang Biwu doesn't want to destroy us, but he can't destroy us! For what? Because he only has 500 regular people, plus his 2,000 Lianyong, even if he brings them all, it will be useless, but will lose his capital! In addition, it is impossible for Qin Jun such as He Renlong and Zheng Chongjian to listen to him! ”

He could not take command, so he pretended not to know, so as not to get into trouble. By the way, he sent someone to tell us that he could show his talents, and he also sold us a favor! However, he can see that Zhang Jingxuan can't tolerate people without having contact with Zhang Jingxuan, and will harm us, which is really commendable! Moreover, what Zhang Jingxuan wanted to harm me when he was in Gucheng was relatively secretive, and he also knew about it! His ears are truly spiritual! ”

Gao Guiying also said: "Yes! I have been in contact with Zhang Biwu, he is different from the officials of the imperial court, just from the fact that he governs the three counties! If he becomes a powerful minister in the Ming Dynasty in the future, he will be our fierce enemy! So I think it's best not to tear your face with him without turning your face, and not tearing your face! ”

Li Zicheng also smiled and said, "Isn't it? That's why I let Zongdi give up his two love generals to Zhang Biwu! Although Zhao Dayong and Zhao Dawei have feelings for Zhang Biwu, they also have feelings for our army! At that time, Zhang Biwu had to weigh it! His strength is very weak, and there are many places to rely on Zhao Dawei and Zhao Dayong! And ......"

Li Zicheng looked in the direction of Beijing and said, "Can Chongzhen trust Zhang Biwu?" Even if Chongzhen can let Zhang Biwu stretch his strength for the time being, but those civilian-official groups under Chongzhen, the Chengtian Party is the same as the other, can they tolerate Zhang Biwu? Zhang Biwu is equivalent to having his hands and feet tied! Ha Lu Ha! If he can take refuge in me in the future, he will meet the master! ”
