Chapter 10 Sweeping Obstacles
"Obstacle? What obstacle?" Because Wu Fan had a very speculative conversation with Li Letong and had a mobile phone in hand, he had actually regarded Li Zicheng's acceptance of the recruitment as a sure thing, thinking that there would definitely be no problem, but he didn't expect it.
Su Banxian suddenly said that there was still the biggest obstacle, and there were several more. This made Wu Fan very unhappy, because Wu Fan thought that this was obviously a trick by Su Zhenhai, and he wanted to take the opportunity to raise more conditions and gain more benefits.
"Your Majesty, there are several obstacles to this. First, the people around King Chuang are still a little reluctant to accept the imperial court's recruitment, and they still need to do some careful work. Especially General Li Yan, who values righteousness.
He cares little about wealth, is easy-going, and likes to hang out with the lower ranks of the army. His prestige in the army is extremely high. If he cannot persuade Mr. Li, even King Chuang would not dare to act rashly.
Secondly, King Chuang was forced to become a thief and fought in the world. His hands were stained with the blood of many innocent people. He had been at war with the imperial court for so many years and had many enemies in the imperial court. If he accepts the recruitment, he must promise that he will not act recklessly.
Slaughter the former Dashun Army soldiers, or simply grant a few death-free gold medals, otherwise it may be difficult to stabilize the morale of the army.
Thirdly, King Chuang hopes that he can be recruited under the city walls of Beijing, so that he can show the court's sincerity in accepting King Chuang's surrender. But in this case, I am afraid that the court will let Dashun's army enter Beijing. I wonder if the emperor agrees?"
When Su Banxian first started speaking, he tried his best to pretend to be as vulgar as Li Letong, but later on, he began to show his shrewdness more and more involuntarily.
Li Jiantai's eyes brightened as he listened. He finally let go of his contempt for Li Zicheng's envoy. No wonder the man named Su didn't say anything at first. It turned out that he was the real envoy for Li Zicheng's contact with the court this time. That Li Letong was just a
Used to deceive people.
But when he heard the third point from Su Zhenhai, Li Jiantai finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He immediately glared and said sternly: "That's nonsense. Since Chuang Ni is ready to be recruited, he should station his troops where they are and wait for the court."
How can we allow you to gather hundreds of thousands of rebel troops under the city walls of Beijing when you send people to recruit them? Let’s not talk about what if your rebel troops take the opportunity to attack the city. Simply allowing you to deploy troops in the capital will put the face of the imperial court at risk.
Where?"
When Li Letong heard Li Jiantai's words, he immediately opened his eyes wide and shouted angrily: "Pull them down, just those soldiers of your court, if we really want to enter Beijing, you have to stop us! If it weren't for my brother now,
I don’t want to be a thief anymore, maybe we have already beaten the city of Beijing, why do you still need to let us come over?”
Li Jiantai turned to Li Letong angrily and shouted: "You also want to go to Beijing? Do you treat the tens of thousands of elite soldiers stationed in Baoding Prefecture as nothing?"
Seeing that the situation seemed to be out of control, Wu Fan was immediately unhappy. Wu Fan had never considered the issue of Li Zicheng's surrender from a political or military perspective. The three points proposed by Su Zhenhai were not too much for him. Li Zicheng accepted the recruitment, so he naturally had to appease him.
My man, this is easy to handle. Who are we afraid of when we have a mobile phone? It’s also easy to get a gold medal for immunity from death. When Wu Fan was a child and listened to storytelling, he was particularly rare for things like gold medals for immunity from death. It’s so cool to hold it in your hand.
Now that I have the opportunity to hand it out to others, it is simply a dream come true. As for the third item, if Wu Fan comes, Li Zicheng will surrender and become ours. Coming to Beijing can also give Wu Fan a strong momentum. This is
Good thing.
So Wu Fan simply waved his hand and said to Li Jiantai: "Okay, Li Aiqing, you don't have to be like this. The difficulties raised by Li Zicheng are not excessive. You don't need to say any more." Then he turned to face him.
Su Zhenhai said: "You go back and tell Li Zicheng that the last two are nothing. I am the one who makes the decision. Even if you agree, as for how to convince other people, it is up to him to figure it out. You guys have a good rest today and we will follow tomorrow."
Li Aiqing, let’s go back together.”
When Li Jiantai and Wang Chengen saw that Wu Fan actually agreed to let Li Zicheng's army go directly to Beijing, they were so frightened that they all knelt down. Li Jiantai cried and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do this. This matter..."
Wu Fan didn't wait for Li Jiantai to finish, he stood up and said to the two people kneeling on the ground: "This matter is settled. Since I have accepted Li Zicheng's surrender, I believe in Li Zicheng's loyalty. I remember
There is an old saying that goes like this: Don’t trust people when you hire them, and don’t use them when you trust others. You don’t need to persuade me any more. Okay, Cheng’en, take me back to rest.”
Wu Fan was so arbitrary because he believed deeply in the modification function of the mobile phone, and he was anxious to go back and modify the generals and counselors around Li Zicheng. Wu Fan knew that if he didn't deal with the people around Li Zicheng, there might be some twists and turns in recruiting Li Zicheng.
So after saying that, he nodded to Li Letong, ignored Su Zhenhai, turned around and walked out of the house.
Wu Fan still hasn't noticed that Su Zhenhai's status is still higher than that of Li Letong. Thinking that Li Letong is Li Zicheng's younger brother, of course he has to say hello to Li Letong when he leaves, but he never expected that such a random move would end up in Su Zhenhai's eyes.
There was an uproar in my heart.
In Su Zhenhai's view, Wu Fan's courage and decisiveness were comparable to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and vaguely surpassed Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the courage to let go of the road and allow Li Zicheng's army to attack Beijing.
Just the words he said before leaving: "Don't doubt anyone, don't doubt anyone." It was a complete hint to Su Zhenhai that the matter was fully entrusted to Su Zhenhai. At this time, blood surged in Su Zhenhai's chest, and a sentence flashed through his mind like lightning.
, You treat your ministers as a countryman, and I will treat you as a countryman. I will not regret it even if I am heartbroken!
At that moment, Su Banxian didn't even look at Li Letong, who was still giggling. He stood up from his seat, knelt on the ground and shouted loudly at Wu Fan's back: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Su Zhenhai will live up to His Majesty's trust. Even if he is shattered into pieces, he will persuade Li Zicheng."
Lead your troops to surrender. I hereby swear an oath to forever remember the emperor's holy grace and never regret it even if I die!" After saying that, he kowtowed heavily and knocked the stone slab loudly.
Wu Fan pushed the door open and walked out without looking back. It wasn't that Wu Fan didn't hear Su Banxian's expression of loyalty, it was just that Wu Fan thought that since he had established a good relationship with Li Letong, there was no need for this insignificant Su Zhenhai to pay any attention to him.
.
Returning to the palace, Wu Fan kicked Wang Chengen out casually, leaving him alone in the room. He quickly took out his mobile phone and prepared to modify Li Zicheng's subordinates. The first person to be called was naturally the letter that Su Zhenhai mentioned just now.
Young Master Li Yan.
Li Yan, formerly known as Li Xin, was the youngest son of Li Jingbai, the former governor of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty and the minister of the Ministry of War. Li Jingbai was the governor of Shandong. In Wu Fan's era, he was the secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and the provincial governor.
After a long time, Li Yan can be regarded as the second generation official of the Ming Dynasty. However, when Li Yan was still nursing, Li Jingbai was implicated and dismissed from office when Chongzhen was punishing Wei Zhongxian.
Later, Li Yan met Li Zicheng when Li Zicheng was campaigning in Shandong. The two fell in love at first sight, and Li Yan began to follow Li Zicheng. Before Li Zicheng got Li Yan, he could only be called a rogue bandit, and he had no reputation at all.
It was under Li Yan's step-by-step planning that Li Zicheng's power began to grow, so much so that he eventually became known as the super rebel king who shocked the entire Ming Dynasty.
In addition to advising Li Zicheng, Li Yan was also a good hand in leading troops in battles. The 20,000 elite soldiers he personally trained were almost invincible in the battle with the Ming army. They were invincible on the battlefield and could be regarded as
They are the most elite troops under Li Zicheng.
Wu Fan read Li Yan's life and deeds twice, and the more he read, the more he liked him. Such an awesome character was almost as good as half Zhuge Liang and half Zhao Yun. Wu Fan was so greedy that his mouth watered, so he did not hesitate.
Change Li Yan's character to Hua Rong, the Liangshan young Li Guang who follows Song Jiang's footsteps and will never leave. Then you won't be afraid that Li Yan won't accept the recruitment together with Li Zicheng, right?
The system popped up a prompt message: "To modify Li Yan's character, 7 years of lifespan need to be deducted, and the remaining lifespan is 83 years, 8 months, 7 days, 9 hours, 32 minutes and 6 seconds. Are you sure?"
Wu Fan reviewed it again and selected OK after confirming that it was correct, and the modification took effect.
In fact, Wu Fan is also a little distressed. This is too cheating. It takes 8 years to modify Li Zicheng, but it actually takes 7 years to modify Li Yan. It is only one year less than Li Zicheng. Although I am a long-lived person, I don't play like this.
Ah. But looking at Li Yan's outstanding performance, Wu Fan also secretly comforted himself. The more talented people he has, the more leisurely he will be in the future. Let's treat it as a trip to the Ming Dynasty. In order to have fun, we are not afraid of spending money.
After taking care of Li Yan, Wu Fan was ready to modify others again.
In Wu Fan's memory, in addition to the general Li Yan, Li Zicheng also had a powerful general Liu Zongmin. However, Wu Fan remembered that Liu Zongmin was not a good person. This guy seemed to be jealous of others and could only fight for power.
He has no ability anymore and is a typical person who spoils the whole pot of soup with a piece of stinky meat.
Unexpectedly, when he opened Liu Zongmin's information, Wu Fan was also dazzled. When he saw Mr. Jin's Blue Blood Sword, he saw that Liu Zongmin was a scumbag. Unexpectedly, it turned out that Liu Zongmin was extremely brave in beheading generals and seizing flags on the battlefield.
Zhang Fei type character.
When Li Zicheng raised his troops and was defeated in Tongguan for the first time, it was Liu Zongmin who led eighteen dead soldiers in a bloody battle to save Li Zicheng from the siege. Later, in several battles that decided Li Zicheng's fate, it was Liu Zongmin who played a key role.
This prevented Li Zicheng from being wiped out by the Ming Dynasty's army. In other words, Liu Zongmin may not have a good sense in strategy, but in terms of personal force, he is definitely one of the few masters of the Ming Dynasty.
Change! This Liu Zongmin is quite qualified to be a personal bodyguard in the future. Let’s change his character to Li Kui.
As a result, Wu Fan lost another 5 years of his life.
There are two military advisor-level figures beside Li Zicheng, one is named Niu Jinxing and the other is named Song Xiance. Especially this Song Xiance, whose name is not for nothing. This guy makes suggestions beside Li Zicheng. He has extraordinary intelligence and is deeply respected by Li Zicheng.
, he must be consulted first for any battle plan. Niu Jinxing is not an ordinary person. He follows Li Zicheng and formulates strategies for Li Zicheng. He has successively served as the Zuofu of the Dashun regime and the bachelor of Tianyou Pavilion. He can be regarded as Li Zicheng's prime minister.
.
Okay, I didn’t say anything else and started revising. Song Xiance changed it to Wu Yong, and Niu Jinxing didn’t bother to think too much, it was also Wu Yong.
After choosing to confirm twice, Wu Fan finally looked at the system prompt that "remaining life span is 68 years, 8 months, 7 days, 9 hours, 32 minutes and 6 seconds." He wanted to cry without tears. This is too cheating. This devil is a vampire and does not suck.
Damn it, it has only been less than two days since I came to Chongzhen's biography, and my life span of 98 years has already taken 30 years.
Chapter completed!
