Emperor Aoki then smiled.

He then looked back at Zhang Jingyi: "What's the news in the capital?"

"I have blocked this area. There is no movement in the capital yet, but I think it should be soon."

Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "Next, it should be Li Zicheng...I want to see, how much is Li Zicheng...?"

After saying that, Emperor Tianqi returned to his tent to rest.

In fact, he has not slept all night and has thought about many things.

On this side, Zhang Xianzhong was already confused with his mighty men.

Looking back at these people who followed him, many of them had smiles on their faces.

Actually, this is understandable.

Although he didn't win, he survived.

Isn't this a blessing?

Moreover, I have eaten mutton every day these days, so many people are radiant.

Some people even wore gray coats given by Donglin Jun. They were very precious to this coat. This was a high-quality fabric, and the most important thing was that they were very warm in their clothes.

During the Little Ice River period, the weather was extremely extreme, and the winter was extremely cold. Bandits like them fought everywhere, and most of the time they did not necessarily die under the sword of the official army, but fought against God.

Now wearing this coat, there is a kind of warmth that is hard to explain. This feeling is something that was difficult to understand in the past.

The dried food I carried, the jerky beef... tasted very good. When I thought of the food on my body, I felt much more at ease.

So at this time, everyone no longer had the initial panic and began to talk about their captives with great enthusiasm.

Zhang Xianzhong heard the noisy sound, and even the sound occasionally burst into laughter.

This made him not know what to say for a moment.

What does it look like?

Is this still an anti-military?

Suddenly, Zhang Xianzhong thought of something, and suddenly slapped his head: "Oh..."

"Entertainment Father, what's wrong?" Sun Kewang couldn't help but say when he saw his foster father suddenly became so excited.

Zhang Xianzhong suddenly said sadly: "When thinking about it carefully, wouldn't Brother Gao die in vain?"

“…”

Suddenly, many people showed sadness.

Originally, Gao Yingxiang's suicide was a very tragic thing.

But looking back now, such a tragic act is quite ridiculous.

Isn’t this a waste of time?

If he doesn't die, he will be released directly like Zhang Xianzhong. Maybe he can raise two kilograms of meat in the past few days.

Zhang Xianzhong was in a state of emotion at this moment and couldn't help but say sadly: "Brother Gao, Brother Gao, you are wise and confused for a while."

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but sigh and couldn't help but say another poem: "My brother Gao Yingxiang is extremely brave and wise. He died in vain today. Let's go to his mother!"

Sun Kewang: “…”

The vast crowd moved south and soon encountered a scout.

This is a member of Wuchang.

It turned out that Li Zicheng's troops were crossing the Yellow River at this time, so a large number of scouts were released, for fear of interception by the officials around them.

When these scouts saw a large-scale military horse, they were extremely careful until they recognized the identities of Zhang Xianzhong and others. Soon, someone came to see him, but Liu Zongmin came to pay homage to Zhang Xianzhong in person.

Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Zongmin saluted, and Liu Zongmin said, "Why is General Zhang here? I wonder if the King of Chuang is here?"

Zhang Xianzhong was ashamed for a moment: "We have encountered the official army and were defeated. The King of Chuang is dead. I and my subordinates escaped."

Liu Zongmin was shocked: "When did the official army be so powerful?"

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't answer for a while.

However, although Liu Zongmin was a rebellious and reckless person, he did not dare to act rashly when facing Zhang Xianzhong. He knew that Zhang Xianzhong was defeated at this time and must be ashamed. At this time, he should not expose General Zhang's scars, so he stopped asking: "My lord is only twenty miles away. Why not join forces with us to discuss major plans?"

Zhang Xianzhong had nowhere to go at this time.

Continue to attack Nanzhili and then dig the ancestral tomb of the foolish emperor?

To be honest, the foolish monarch let himself go, which made him embarrassed to do so.

In his opinion, he can continue to be a thief now, and even fight to the death with that foolish lord in the future.

But you need to be conscience in life. You can’t let you go. You turn around and dig up the tombs of other people’s ancestors.

However, Guanzhong and Henan have been unable to gain a foothold due to years of disasters.

After thinking about it, it seemed that only Li Zicheng could join him.

So he nodded: "You come and lead the way, I'll go and meet Brother Li first."

As he said that, he followed Liu Zongmin and asked Sun Kewang to order a few personal soldiers to follow him and go to see Li Zicheng first.

Li Zicheng was full of thoughts at this time and was thinking about the great cause of advancing every day. This was the most critical moment. A huge army of 100,000 was crossing the river and there was no mistake. Therefore, he was particularly vigilant.

These days, many gentry have given him advice, especially scholars led by Sun Zhixie, who have proposed follow-up work to invade the capital.

For example, it was announced that the original civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty would be retained, and only eunuchs and military officials like the eunuchs and Zhang Jingyi would be killed.

He also drafted a notice of amnesty for the whole world to calm everyone's hearts.

At the same time, Sun Zhixie was very enthusiastic and made longer-term plans for Li Zicheng.

"Lord." Sun Zhixie bowed in Li Zicheng's tent at this time, and then said, "Students heard that the tyrant monarch was still in Guangping Prefecture. Therefore, when he arrived at Guangping Prefecture, there would be a very bad battle. The lord Shenwu would definitely be able to teach the tyrant monarch to surrender. It was not enough to take down the tyrant monarch, but if the imperial court lost the emperor, he would definitely establish a new emperor in the capital. This is an example in the Tumu Fort's change. Therefore, the student's suggestion is that if he took down the Guangping Prefecture, the lord should call himself the king early to comfort the world, and then reward the generals, and then recruit surrender and rebel, and slowly besiege the capital. The student calculated that the Ming Dynasty's prefecture would definitely recruit people to serve the king, but as long as the lord took the banner of determining the world, there would be no need to worry about the troops who served the king."

Li Zicheng held his hands behind his back and nodded: "Um..."

Sun Zhixie smiled again and said, "There is one more thing."

Li Zicheng looked at Sun Zhixie and said, "Why don't you talk together?"

"This..." Sun Zhixie looked around.

Li Laiheng and others were all on the left.

When Li Laiheng saw that Sun Zhixie was about to avoid him, he immediately showed displeasure.

Li Zicheng said: "There are no outsiders here."

Sun Zhixie smiled awkwardly and said, "The lord has another major concern, that is, Gao and Zhang. These two men also have 100,000 troops and are in a prosperous state. This time they help the battle and run to the capital. They are afraid that they have other intentions. The lord wants to conquer the world, so why are these two men also in a sacred way?"

After hearing this, Li Zicheng immediately showed displeasure.

Li Laiheng angrily cursed: "What are you saying? Do you want to offer my elder brother to be unrighteous?"

Sun Zhixie smiled and explained patiently: "The success and defeat of the king has always been successful. Even if the lord doesn't take action, I'm afraid some people will take risks. This is the student who hopes that the lord will prevent it. The lord should be constantly in trouble. So... the student thinks that once the lord is taken down, he should immediately design and invite the Gao and Zhang to the big tent to have a drink. Take this opportunity to take down the Gao and Zhang!"

Li Laiheng was furious and said, "Brother, don't listen to him. This person's stomach is full of bad water!"

Li Zicheng also said: "I, King of Chuang and Brother Zhang, had burned yellow paper and were brothers. How could there be a reason for brothers to kill each other? Besides, if everyone really wanted to be emperors, it would be nothing. At worst, they could set up a formation and decide the male and female. How could they trick people into conspiring to kill? If they did this, they would be worse than pigs and dogs."

Sun Zhixie: "..."

Sun Zhixie was embarrassed for a moment, and he wanted to persuade him.

Someone said, "General Zhang is here..."

Li Zicheng was shocked when he heard the report and couldn't help but say, "I know Brother Zhang's men. They are all extremely brave, how could they be defeated..."

After saying that, he immediately left the tent, got on the horse, and hurried out of the camp to greet him.

Zhang Xianzhong was welcomed. In the tent, Li Laiheng and others had prepared a banquet. There were a few meat, vegetables, and a few pots of wine. Everyone sat down. Zhang Xianzhong talked about Gao Yingxiang's suicide and the army was defeated. He also said that the official army was very powerful and he was finally released.

Li Zicheng was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"Does the official army actually have such combat power?"

Zhang Xianzhong said: "I must have aroused other people's anger, but that's the case. Now, I'm at a loss. Now I have nearly 100,000 people around me, and I have nowhere to go."

Li Zicheng knew Zhang Xianzhong's thoughts. He stroled the case and said, "If Brother Zhang doesn't dislike me, he will join forces with me for the time being. You and my brother will not distinguish between each other."

Zhang Xianzhong obviously had no choice but to have this plan: "I have a hard time."

Li Zicheng said again: "In this way... this thief army is very powerful, so it should not be underestimated."

They are all from bandits and never do anything about eggs hitting stones.

Li Zicheng said: "To be honest, I have a brother in the capital and are working at the right time to teach the dog emperor to catch fire in the backyard, so this is a good opportunity. So this time I was in a hurry to bring all the brothers here, but now... I'm very proud to advance and retreat. What do you think of Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Xianzhong is also a person who wants to be respected. I can’t say that I’m afraid, so let’s go back to Wuchang.

Zhang Xianzhong coughed: "I met Brother Li again today. I felt mixed feelings. I really didn't want to meet like this. My face was very dull, but I also had mixed feelings. Now that I have come to this point, I will not hide it from you. If you retreat, the official army will be very brave and will come sooner or later. At that time, I will be defeated sooner or later. Since Brother Li believes that this is a god-given opportunity, why not take this opportunity and make a big move, and wait for your friend in the capital to take action, and take advantage of the fact that the official army cannot take care of each other. Although the official army is powerful, it may not have no chance of victory."
