"...His Majesty has created an empire in a foreign country and appointed generals." Niu Jinxing said eloquently, "With this, people's hearts have been set! When facing the imperial officials and soldiers again, their righteousness and reputation have been lost, and there will be no one in the army. There will be another surrender. In this case, why should our army fear the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty?"
Li Zicheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this, that's the truth!
In the past, it was not that he could not defeat the imperial officials and soldiers, but that his subordinates were constantly being seduced by the imperial court and rebelled against him, which made him retreat steadily and finally had to run to this foreign country.
But this is fine, he defeated the Mughal court here, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, achieving great achievements for a generation.
Now, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when talents are abundant and people's hearts are available, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty still want to pursue them so far to fight. It is really a time when they can take revenge!
Thinking like this, Li Zicheng regained his confidence and ordered Liu Zongmin's troops to be transferred back to arrest the dog officer Sun Chuanting.
But at this time, Niu Jinxing reported to him again: "Your Majesty, Lahore is in the hands of Persia and has always been Chang'an's innermost concern. The minister thought that he could secretly order Liu and Song to capture Lahore as soon as possible. Kandahar can Let it go first. As for the war on the eastern front, the rest of the army can be mobilized to resist Sun Gouguan's troops step by step. It is best if Sun Gouguan can be destroyed. Even if he cannot be destroyed, after Lahore is captured, the elite troops can then march eastward. It happens to be when Sun Gou Guan is tired, he will surely destroy the Ming army and capture Sun Gou Guan in front of His Majesty!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" When Li Zicheng heard this, he cheered happily, "You are worthy of being my first assistant, so I will do as you please!"
The distance from Dongwu to Chang'an is quite long. Even if Sun Chuanting's troops attack smoothly all the way, they won't be able to attack within a few months. By that time, I believe Liu Zongmin has captured Lahore.
Li Zicheng is confident in this.
Therefore, Niu Jinxing deployed the strategy he proposed.
However, who knew that three days later, there would be another urgent message arriving in Chang'an.
"What?" When Li Zicheng heard this, he stood up from the dragon chair in shock and confirmed in surprise: "The Ming army was also found in the south, and the leader is Huang Degong?"
"Your Majesty, yes." The messenger reported again, "They landed from the sea, and then from south to north, fighting all the way to Delhi... coming from Chang'an!"
Li Zicheng was a little dumbfounded and turned to look at his chief assistant.
However, Niu Jinxing did not expect this situation and was also dumbfounded.
They all did not expect that Mingguo would attack in two directions, and they were both old opponents, and they were coming fiercely.
The most important thing is that the south side was ravaged by Zhang Xianzhong. Before he went to Persia, he almost robbed the south of the country. Li Zicheng's people ran there and took over the place not long ago, but they were not prepared to face a strong enemy at all.
Moreover, all the mobile troops that could be mobilized were also mobilized by Niu Jinxing to deal with Sun Chuanting in the east, thinking of resisting and even surrounding and annihilating Sun Chuanting.
Huang Degong's troops landed from the sea and came to Chang'an to fight. The distance was obviously shorter than that from Dongwu. If we don't respond in time, Chang'an will be in danger if it happens to be empty of troops.
"Your Majesty, the best plan now is to transfer Liu Song's troops back!" Niu Jinxing came to his senses and hurriedly reported, "If Huang Degong kills him and comes to Chang'an, there will be instability in the place and affect the court. Prestige. The current plan is to defeat the Ming army as soon as possible to boost our morale, and we must not allow the two Ming army to come together!"
Li Zicheng's face was full of anger, and he said in a hateful voice: "The dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty treated me like this and insisted on killing them all. I swear that I will lead an army to attack the capital one day and take the life of Chongzhen's son!"
He had already escaped so far. He originally thought that he would establish his own foundation and become the king here, so he didn't want to fight back. The result was good, the Chongzhen Dog Emperor turned out to be so cruel and ruthless, he really wanted to kill them all. Two groups of troops came to encircle and suppress him, and they were sure to win.
Faced with this situation, Li Zicheng was really angry!
"Come on, pass on the order and transfer him back to Liu Song's headquarters!" Li Zicheng said through gritted teeth, "I want to lead the expedition myself. I will first kill Huang Degong, then capture Sun Chuanting, and fight back to Dongwu and Yunnan!"
………………
Besides, when the Persian Emperor Abbas II led his troops back to China, he was tricked by Zhang Xianzhong and suffered heavy losses. He fled back to Kandahar and gathered troops from this area in Kandahar to prepare to fight back to Persia again. After all, this is his home base, and it must not be lost.
But who knew that just when he was about to lead his troops into Persia, the garrison in Lahore urgently reported that bandits had captured Delhi, sent troops to attack Lahore, and were in urgent need of rescue.
Abbas II was a little dumbfounded when he heard the news.
Those thieves actually came to pull him back at this critical moment!
For him, his home base in Persia was obviously more important. However, if he leaves Lahore alone, if he leads his troops and leaves Kandahar, he will not defeat the bandits in his own country in a short period of time, and Lahore and even Kandahar will be captured by the bandits in Mughal territory. Go, then he himself is a thief!
However, if the troops in Persia are ignored and the troops return to fight with the bandits attacking Lahore, the bandits in Persia may turn Persia upside down.
Suddenly, he got angry and had a toothache!
In the end, he let out a long sigh and decided to stabilize the current territory first.
But he didn't just do that. After all, he was worried about Persia.
Therefore, Abbas II sent an envoy to the Bukhara Khanate in the north urgently. On the condition of ceding Kabul, he requested the Bukhara Khanate to send troops to join him in Persia to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong's troops.
As for himself, while waiting for a reply from the Bukhara Khanate, he led his troops to rescue Lahore.
………………
However, some of the troops in Lahore had been mobilized by Abbas II before.
According to Abbas II's thinking, Aurangzeb was considered a master of war, and could at least hold on in Delhi for a long time. Therefore, in order to deal with Zhang Xianzhong's troops in Persia, he mobilized as many troops as possible, leaving only basic garrison troops in Lahore.
As a result, not only did Liu Zongmin and Song Xiance come to attack with elite troops, but later on, Li Zicheng's order also came, asking Liu Zongmin to quickly capture Lahore and then return to put out troops.
Therefore, the intensity of Liu Zongmin and Song Xiance's attack on Lahore increased a lot. In the end, before Abbas II led his troops to Lahore, it was captured by Liu Zongmin.
According to Li Zicheng's will, Liu Zongmin would lead his troops back to support him after he captured Lahar. As a result, before he left, he heard a report from the scouting horse that he had discovered that the Persian Emperor Abbas II personally led the army to Lahore.
This situation made Liu Zongmin extremely anxious. He wanted to lead his troops back immediately, but the captured Lahore could not be returned to the Persian emperor.
what to do?
Fortunately, at this time, Song Xiance made a prompt decision and gave Liu Zongmin an idea.
That is to say, Liu Zongmin made a gesture of continuing to advance westward, at least to make the Persian emperor understand that it was absolutely impossible to recapture Lahore. Because Lahore is the barrier of Chang'an, it must not fall into the hands of other countries.
Later, people were sent here to negotiate peace with the Persian emperor, and the two countries concluded a treaty of non-aggression with Kandahar and Lahore as the boundary.
Only after the Persian side is stabilized and Lahore is not in danger, Liu Zongmin can safely return aid. Otherwise, it would be easy to lose a place!
It was too late to report this matter to Li Zicheng before deciding, so he could only do it first and report it to Li Zicheng at the same time.
………………
On Abbas II's side, after learning that Lahore had been captured by bandits, he had the intention to retreat. Because the strength of his men was to be used to recapture Persia, not to fight the bandits in Lahore and Mughal territory.
However, this intention cannot be known to the thieves, otherwise, taking advantage of the situation and robberies is the specialty of the thieves.
In this way, the Persian army and Liu Zongmin's troops confronted each other, both of them were strong external forces but internal cadres.
The fighting between the Tanma scouts quickly made both sides hear some of the situation on the other side.
Liu Zongmin learned that the Persian emperor's army was defeated by Zhang Xianzhong's troops, and heard that Zhang Xianzhong's firearms were very powerful.
As for Abbas II, he also knew that the bandits were no longer bandits, but the army of Dashun. While they were worried, the Persian army's scouts also caught Chang'an Li Zicheng's messenger urging Liu Zongmin to return for rescue as soon as possible.
In this case, both parties have a general understanding of the other's situation.
Therefore, as soon as Li Zicheng's consent arrived, Liu Zongmin sent an envoy without hesitation and began negotiations with Persia.
For Abbas II, his focus is also on returning aid to Persia. The demand for Lahore has been reduced to a minimum. He is just worried that Liu Zongmin will continue to move westward.
In this case, both parties have sincerity in the peace talks. No matter which side it is, there is no time to put ink on the peace talks.
Therefore, Abbas II quickly agreed to Liu Zongmin's proposal, and the two parties concluded an alliance with the middle of Kandahar and Lahore as the border. The two sides reconciled, refrained from attacking each other for at least twenty years, and turned enemies into friends.
Abbas II's side finally struggled for several years, but the result was the same as before, only occupying Kandahar. Moreover, an army of bandits has invaded the country, causing the Persian people to live in dire straits. It is unknown when they will be pacified.
If there was a regret medicine, Abbas II would definitely buy one.
Now, because of the sharpness of the bandits' firearms, he could only hope to defeat the bandits together with the Bukhara Khanate army and return to his home base first.
As for Liu Zongmin, there was nothing to say. He immediately left his troops and prepared to return for rescue.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened again.
