When Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he was a little curious and couldn't help but turn his head to look at his military advisor Xu Yixian, then turn around and look at Song Xiance and said, "What do you think? Tell me it?"

After hearing this, Song Xiance pointed south and then said, "Since the court does not give us a way to live, we must destroy us. Then we will leave the place where the court can manage. Isn't that enough?"

"..." Zhang Xianzhong was stunned for a while when he heard this, he turned his head to look at Xu Yixian, and then turned around and said with a little surprise, "You guys have the same idea as well?"

When Li Zicheng heard this, he was a little surprised, but when he thought about it, he understood.

Zhang Xianzhong is almost the same as him in his current situation. He is already desperate in the Ming Dynasty and is surrounded in the southwest part of Yunnan. He cannot break through and reenter the Central Plains. If he doesn't want to sit there and wait for death, he will have to leave Ming Dynasty.

After all, there are no cliffs behind you, so you can continue to escape, so why not continue to escape?

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng did not need Song Xiance to say it, but asked himself: "Then you go to Dongwu with us, so that we can take care of each other, don't capsize in the gutter and be humiliated by these southern barbarians!"

Although he had 20,000 troops, if he went to a foreign country, if he had more troops, he would naturally be more confident. This is also one of the main reasons why he wanted to meet with Zhang Xianzhong!

In fact, Zhang Xianzhong also had this idea. After hearing what Li Zicheng said, he nodded and said, "To avoid the imperial army led by Sun Chuanting's dog official, I think it's not enough to just enter the cave. What if he chases me?"

When Li Zicheng heard this, he frowned and thought for a while. He felt that it was very likely, so he asked Zhang Xianzhong: "Then where do you want to go?"

"There is no place for us to stand here on the Ming Dynasty, and I don't want to be surrounded by Sungouguan, so naturally the farther away, the better!" Zhang Xianzhong answered immediately, "My thoughts are farther away. How about going to the Buddha Kingdom?"

"Buddhist Kingdom?" Li Zicheng confirmed with a hint of doubt.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's military advisor Xu Yixian answered: "In the past, Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Xiongnu, which made the Xiongnu have no place to establish a foothold on the grassland. Therefore, the Xiongnu did not want to surrender Emperor Wu of Han, were forced to move westward. As far as I know, those Xiongnus who moved westward came to the extreme of the West to establish a new empire and have been ruled there! Our situation is similar to the Xiongnu in those days. How about it, why not seek to find a country in the West? The Buddha's country is full of mud and its combat power is absolutely not strong!"

"Really?" Li Zicheng immediately turned to look at Song Xiance and confirmed.

After hearing this, before Song Xiance answered, Niu Jinxing, who had not spoken, said first: "General, it seems that this is true for the Xiongnu moving westward to establish an empire! As for the Buddha Kingdom, I have also heard some rumors that the people there can have food by just serving the land, so they are very lazy. Their army is just like that!"

Niu Jinxing is a juren, and he is very authoritative when he says this. When Li Zicheng heard it, he couldn't help but be very moved. He turned to Zhang Xianzhong and asked, "Do you know how to go?"

He was a little worried that if Zhang Xianzhong didn't know the way or took out a book called "Journey to the West", everything would be empty and happy.

"I probably know how to go!" Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said, "There were natives who have been there before, but now they are under my command."

Hearing this, Li Zicheng did not make a decision immediately, but looked at his military advisor.

Song Xiance was listening all the time. When he saw Li Zicheng looking at him, he nodded slightly and said, "Now Dongwu is now the king of Long, and has been in power for a long time. He has not fought for at least fifteen or sixteen years. The country is rich and the people are strong. I am afraid it is not easy to fight! If you fight to the death with Dongwu's army, it is still unknown who will win."

The implication is that it is best to pick persimmons so soft that they can't beat the imperial army. Unless there is no way to defeat the imperial army, then dig the holes and my army.

Of course, Li Zicheng has the decisive side. Besides, he has more troops than Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Xianzhong is not afraid, so what is he afraid of!

So he nodded and said to Zhang Xianzhong: "Since that's the case, then we two families join forces to kill the Buddha's Kingdom together! But we agreed in advance that if we really want to establish a country, we will be a brotherly country, and swords and guns can only be used to the outside world. How about it?"

When Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he actually wanted to sneer, but now when it is time to work together, he did not sarcastically at Li Zicheng, but immediately nodded and responded: "I, Zhang Xianzhong, have been open and honest all my life and have never attacked my brothers! I have not had it before, and there will never be any in the future!"

When Li Zicheng heard this, his old face turned red, but he was fine immediately. In front of Zhang Xianzhong, he said in a very firm voice: "Okay, I, Li Hongji, will never attack my brothers in the future. If you violate this oath, you will die if you arrows pierce your heart!"

No one mentioned the past. Now that he has made a great oath, he has given Zhang Xianzhong an explanation.

It was originally for cooperation, so Zhang Xianzhong naturally knew what he knew.

So, the two and the military advisors of both sides began to discuss the expedition to the Buddha Kingdom.

I have to say that this matter is definitely not an easy thing, there are many difficulties to overcome, and the final result is also unknown.

However, no matter what, it would be much better for them to be besieged by Sun Chuanting and the imperial army in a corner of Yunnan. If they stay here and continue to fight with Sun Chuanting, they could foresee that it might end up being wiped out in the end.

However, even if the expedition to the Buddha Kingdom is full of difficulties, at least there is still hope of survival, and even hope of founding and ascending the throne!

With this comparison, this choice is natural.

……………………

Five days later, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's troops robbed the area they controlled, burning the ones they could not take away. Then they rushed into Myanmar together.

The tricks they used were still the style of thieves. Wherever they passed, they took away everything they could take away. Those that could not be taken away were burned in a fire, and they carried the local people, whether they were from the Ming Dynasty or Donggo, all followed the army together, acting as a source of troops and cannon fodder.

The imperial army did not react to the actions of these bandits because of their steady and step-by-step strategies. By the time the local military information was summarized to Sun Chuanting, the bandits under Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's troops had already jumped into Dongwu.

The generals from all walks of life below asked Sun Chuanting to fight and demanded to pursue them as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would be fled by thieves and would be difficult to chase after them when they arrived in a foreign country.

Sun Chuanting rejected this and still asked them to advance slowly, using the excuse to prevent this from being a thief from killing one and retaliating, they found a gap to jump back to the Central Plains, and all their previous efforts were wasted.

In fact, Zhang Mingwei told him about his future strategy at the beginning. Another very important reason for taking steps is to drive away the thieves like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to harm others, and the court can have further excuses to send troops.

One of the original purpose was to force Zhang Xianzhong into Annan, and then Sun Chuanting led his troops directly into Annan to quell the rebellion.

In fact, Annan was part of the Ming Dynasty at this time, so it was fine to lead troops directly. Forcing Zhang Xianzhong to Annan was to ask him and Annan's two forces to fight a battle first, consume their strength, and disrupt the conflict between the north and the south.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Xianzhong did not go to Annan, but instead met with Li Zicheng and rushed into Dongwu.

Regarding Togo and Zhang Mingwei, he also told me that he had to take action.

Since the Wanli period, Dongwu has been sending troops to invade Yunnan of the Ming Dynasty and was severely dealt with by Liu Jing. However, later, the Jianlu rebelled in Liaodong and Liu Jing was transferred, so that there were no capable generals in Yunnan. As a result, Dongwu invaded again and lost a lot of land such as Mubang, Mengmi, Mengyang and other places.

If it were in original history, these places eventually failed to return to China and became part of Togo.

Now that Zhang Mingwei has traveled through time and under the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, these previously lost lands will certainly be repaid. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty lacks the estuary of the Indian Ocean, and this Dongwu can achieve this goal. Naturally, Dongwu has become a must-see place for the Ming Dynasty.

Before Zhang Mingwei left, he had a secret talk with Sun Chuanting.

At the beginning, Sun Chuanting actually didn't have much hope for this. He felt that the Ming Dynasty's national strength was really not that far, and it would be great to calm down all the thieves. Looking back, he had to fight against the Jianlu of Liaodong, which was the focus of the court.

But unexpectedly, time passed slowly, and Di Bao passed the news to him again and again. The development of the Ming Dynasty really surprised Sun Chuanting.

Not to mention anything else, just a few great victory against Jianlu made him stunned.

Although he did not go to Liaodong to fight Jianlu, he knew Hong Chengchou's ability. However, in the Battle of Songjin, Hong Chengchou was wiped out and even he was captured and surrendered. This shows that Jianlu's combat power is really strong.

But who would have thought that under the command of Duke Xingguo, there would be a series of great victory in the Liao war against Liao, and even a great victory in the loss of less than 2,000 Jianlu was destroyed by his own side.

As a result, Sun Chuanting's confidence gradually increased.

He could also feel the strengthening of national strength because he did not worry about logistics. His Royal Highness personally solved the matter in time for him. At least if he continued to fight like this, the court could support him, which further strengthened his confidence.

Now, after learning that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong had jumped into Donggo, he certainly was not in a hurry. He asked them to harm Donggo first, and then follow up slowly.
