Anyone who heard this could tell that he didn't mean it. Zu Dashou was currently stationed in Ningyuan, and he wouldn't be able to go back for a while. He went south to suppress Baiwang but didn't get much success. He traveled thousands of miles to the Yellow River, and he was about to go back. His busy work was in vain. If he could make peace with him later and the imperial court said he would return to the capital to recuperate, would he be willing to do so?
"Even if Li Chuang surrenders, the world is still not at peace. Are you worried about not having a war?" Ma Ke seemed to say something casually. Wu Sangui looked at him and nodded slightly.
"Tatars in the north, Zhang Xianzhong in the south, any one of them will be busy enough," Marco continued.
Wu Sangui shouted: "No matter who I beat, it will be the same to me. They are just stepping stones for me. I will definitely join the Lie Zhu Kingdom."
Everyone looked at each other speechless. No general would want to be promoted, but there were very few people like Wu Sangui who did not hide their ambitions.
But also very candid.
To put it bluntly, it’s called ambition, and to be nice, it’s called pursuit.
In Tongguan City, which is fifty miles away, Li Zicheng has become increasingly irritable in the past few days, mainly because of the rise of Wang Zhaolin. This guy is indeed a counselor, and he is very good at deceiving Li Zicheng in just a few days. There was a lot of turmoil, and three different opinions formed.
They are determined to negotiate peace, with Li Guoniu and Jinxing as the main ones. It is not bad for a vassal king to die a good death. There have always been many subordinates who have worked hard for the court and died a good death, right? As long as the world is not equal to themselves, If there is value for use, the court will not easily kill the rabbit and kill the dog.
There is also a group of people who want to lose their hair. They are self-reliant and carefree. They can do whatever they want with their one-third of an acre of land. Why should they listen to him and work for him, and they will be killed one day without knowing it. This group The people were headed by Liu Zongmin who came from Xi'an.
The other group adopted the strategy of counselor Huang Yu and placed bets on both sides, with Tian Jianxiu and Liu Fangliang as the main ones.
With various advantages and disadvantages, the three groups of people confront each other tit for tat every day, and the arguments are red-faced.
"If it were normal for me to mess with my heart, I would definitely kill Wang Zhaolin!" Li Zicheng said bitterly.
"What do you think, father?" Li Guo asked from the top of the city.
Li Zicheng frowned and looked at the Yellow River in the distance for a long time before saying: "Worry about gains and losses."
"Then use Huang Yu's plan." Li Guo sighed and looked at Li Zicheng who nodded vigorously.
In the evening, a letter came from outside, saying that officers and soldiers were projected into the city. Li Zicheng opened it and read it, and was stunned. Then he summoned Niu Jinxing and others. After reading the letter, everyone was speechless for a while.
Song Xiance was busy working in the capital and suffered a lot of grievances, but in the end it was just a cover. The court did not disdain and did not believe that he could fully represent the Dashun Kingdom. Li Zicheng had to do this in person.
The other party also showed sincerity and did not let him go to the capital. Instead, they asked their old friends to come to negotiate peace.
But this old friend made everyone hate him with itch.
Chang Yu.
The great eunuch of Dongchang had been pressing their heads and rubbing them on the ground since the Taiyuan War at the beginning of last year. Battle after battle, the army suffered numerous casualties and casualties, and the morale of the army was at a loss. Except for a few generals in the army, , they are all frightened by the news.
Just because this guy is too brave and fierce, and his methods are too vicious, not only for him, but also for the Tatars!
There was also Bai Wang who crossed the Yangtze River. Zuo Liangyu and Lu Daqi had done nothing to harm him for several years, but he was destroyed by him!
"When I see him, I'm afraid I can't help but tear him apart," Liu Zongmin said viciously, and casually smashed the tea cup in his hand into pieces. Li Guo's hands were also shaking, but he didn't say a word.
"This guy is really lucky!" Li Zicheng sighed: "Shaking hands and making peace is just making peace after all."
"If we can reconcile our hearts, the sun will rise in the west," Niu Jinxing hummed.
"If you really go to the same palace to serve as a minister, you will still have to show off your face." Tian Jianxiu sneered. Liu Zongmin beside him couldn't help teasing: "The same palace? Do you dare to share the same palace with him?"
"Youhe doesn't dare." Tian Jianxiu sneered: "As King Chuang said, if the world is unfair, he may not dare to kill me, let alone he may not want to kill me."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look, he hasn't reconciled with MD yet, and he's already thinking about sticking it up." Liu Zongmin said hey, "People's hearts are in chaos. At this time, people's hearts are not united. If he really throws himself in, what hope can he have?" Can we hug each other to keep warm?"
Tian Jianxiu was about to retort, but Li Zicheng interrupted them because he had a headache: "Stop arguing about these useless things, think about how to chat with this old friend."
On Li Yan's fourth day at the Yawu Mountain military camp, his own soldiers came to report that a suspicious target was found fifty miles away, two people and two horses, but they did not dare to approach and disturb him. Li Muchian thought for a moment: "That's it." So the two of them left the camp. welcome.
Chang Yu grinned when he saw Li Yan, but Li Yan couldn't say anything for a moment. The eunuch looked tired, but his energy was extremely good, better than he had ever seen.
"Is Jianghu fun?" Li Muchian asked with a smile.
"It's not fun, but it's interesting," Chang Yu said, turning his head and glancing at Jiang Fa: "It's just that this whole journey made Jiang Bashi very nervous."
Jiang Fa smiled bitterly: "Next time something like this happens again, please ask the Governor to contact Wuzhong and the others. The humble position is too old to be used anymore."
Everyone laughed, and on the way back to the camp, Chang Yu talked happily about what he had seen along the way, as well as his various chivalrous and righteous deeds. He had no less than twenty fights along the way, fought with gangsters, fought with evil young men, and encountered several A thief who wanted to steal a horse, but unfortunately he didn't kill anyone.
"It's not that the governor didn't want to kill him, it was Jiang who held Shi down and refused to kill him..."
Li Muxian kept echoing, sometimes laughing, sometimes stroking his chest, listening with gusto. Jiang Fa kept silent with a wry smile on his face, and Li Yan kept staring at the little eunuch, with really mixed feelings in his heart. Mr. Gong, you are here to negotiate with Li Zicheng. How come you have become a gangster? Is the gangland so fun?
Jianghu is fun, but from the moment he stepped into the military camp, Chang Yu knew he couldn't play anymore. He didn't know when he would play next time, but no matter what, Jianghu already has a legend about me, Chang Donglai.
His name was taken from Huangfu Donglai, the Jianghu name of Prince Zhu Cixiang.
The great eunuch came to the military camp in secret, and the ordinary soldiers did not know about it. The big bosses in the military were very excited. Even the arrogant Wu Sangui could not hide his joy. He followed the words of the superintendent next to him and called him affectionate.
A banquet was held in the army to welcome the eunuch. Chang Yu happily asked if there was any wine, and the answer was unanimously yes. It was a military order to prohibit alcohol during war. In previous years, this military order might have been regarded as a decoration, but since Chang Yu was the governor, it has been an iron rule. And with the supervision of Gong Ziying, no one dared to test the law.
Judging from the fact that several generals couldn't help but lick their lips after hearing the word "wine", there was indeed no secret. Chang Yu turned to the door and said: "Go to Master Jiang and borrow some."
Seeing the confused looks on everyone's faces, Chang Yu said: "I know you are very greedy. You bought a lot on the way here. Did you just see those water bags on the saddle? They are actually filled with wine, hahahaha..."
Everyone also laughed, and they laughed sincerely. There are no soldiers who don't like to drink these days.
Jiang Fa was very generous and "borrowed" five large bags of wine. Everyone's eyes lit up with greed. Chang Yu laughed and said, "I'll make an exception today, have fun."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to fully enjoy the wine with this little wine," Marco licked his lips and smiled. Everyone agreed, and Chang Yu said, "We haven't fully enjoyed the wine yet."
Yes, yes, just be happy. Everyone quickly changed their words and chatted freely during the dinner. Everyone was in high spirits and kept shouting and cheering. Chang Yu even called a soldier to come in and play the suona to cheer up. Li Muchian sighed again and again, but still The dancing girl added to the fun, but the trumpet player looked like a dead man.
The summer night is a bit sultry, but fortunately there is a mountain breeze, which is better than in the city. However, the mosquitoes are really annoying. Even if you order mosquito repellent, you will still get a few big red envelopes from bites.
After the meal, everyone dispersed and sat on the rocks and talked in the mountain breeze. Although they were not completely satisfied with the wine, they also satiated their greed. Chang Yu promised to get drunk with everyone after this matter was over.
A meteor streaked across the night sky in the southeast. Li Muxian looked up and frowned slightly. He pinched his fingers and muttered something, "Sirius falls, stars fall..." Chang Yu couldn't help but snicker after hearing this. Damn, there are countless of them every day. If a meteor slides down in the universe, how many people will die?
Just suddenly a sudden shock, the star will fall?
Chang Yu stood up fiercely and looked at the southeast night sky: "Daozhang Li, are you sure?"
Li Muchian scratched his head: "This is what the hexagram says..."
"It's not a good thing that Zuo Liangyu will die now!" Chang Yu's words immediately shocked everyone around him. They all stood up and looked at Chang Yu in horror.
