781 The Medicine of Regret

"...Your Majesty has created an empire in a foreign country and has conferred a group of generals." Niu Jinxing said jokingly, "As a result, people's hearts have been settled! When facing the imperial official army again, their reputation has been lost, and there will be no surrender in the army. In this way, why should our army be afraid of the Ming official army?"

Li Zicheng nodded repeatedly when he heard this, that's the reason!

Before that, it was not that he could not defeat the imperial army, but that his subordinates were constantly bewitched by the imperial court, which led to his defeat and eventually he had to come to this foreign land.

But this is also good. I defeated the Mughal court here, ascended the throne and became emperor, and achieved great achievements for a generation.

Now, it is the time when the founding of the country, with many talents and people's hearts available, but the Ming government army still wants to chase so far to fight, and it is really time for itself to take revenge!

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng regained his confidence and ordered the transfer of Liu Zongmin's troops to come back and arrest the dog official Sun Chuanting.

But at this time, Niu Jinxing told him again: "Your Majesty, Lahore is always a confidant in Chang'an's hands. The poor ministers thought that they could secretly order Liu and Song to let them conquer Lahore as soon as possible, and Kandahar could let it go first. As for the war on the Eastern Front, the rest of the troops can be mobilized to resist Sungou's troops step by step. It is best to destroy Sungou's official position. Even if it cannot be destroyed, after capturing Lahore, the elite troops will advance eastward, which is exactly when Sungou's official position is exhausted. He will definitely be able to destroy the Ming army and capture Sungou's official position in front of His Majesty!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Li Zicheng cheered happily when he heard this, "I am worthy of being my chief assistant, so I will report it to you!"

From Dongwu to Chang'an, the distance is far. Even if Sun Chuanting's troops are successful in the offensive, they will not be able to attack in a few months. By that time, I believe that Liu Zongmin has already captured Lahore.

Li Zicheng is confident in this.

So Niu Jinxing deployed the strategies he offered.

However, who knew that three days later, another quick horse arrived in Chang'an.

"What?" Li Zicheng was shocked when he heard this and stood up from the dragon throne, and confirmed in surprise: "The Ming official army was also found in the south, and the guy Huang Degong was the leader?"

"Go back to your Majesty, yes." The messenger reported again, "They landed from the sea, and then rushed to Delhi from south to north... and came from Chang'an!"

Li Zicheng was a little stunned when he heard this and turned to look at his chief assistant.

However, Niu Jinxing didn't expect this situation, and was also stunned.

They didn't expect that Ming Guo would attack in two groups, and they were both old opponents, coming in full force.

The most important thing is that the south was ravaged by Zhang Xianzhong. Before he went to Persia, he even robbed the south of the country almost into white land. Li Zicheng's men ran there to take over the place not long after, and he had no preparation to face a strong enemy.

In addition, the mobile troops that could be called were all transferred by Niu Jinxing to deal with Sun Chuanting in the east, thinking of resisting step by step, and even encircling and annihilation of Sun Chuanting.

Huang Degong's troops landed from the sea and rushed to Chang'an. The distance was obviously shorter than that from Dongwu. If they did not respond in time, Chang'an would be in danger.

"Your Majesty, the current plan is to transfer back to Liu Song's troops!" Niu Jinxing came to his senses and quickly reported, "If Huang Degong kills him to Chang'an, the local area will be unstable and affect the prestige of the court. Now, the plan is to defeat the Ming Dynasty's official army as soon as possible and boost our morale. We must not let the Ming Dynasty's official army gather together!"

Li Zicheng was furious and said with hatred: "The dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty treated me like this and insisted on killing me. I swear that he would lead troops into the capital in the future and take the life of Chongzhen's child!"

He had already escaped so far, and he had originally thought that he could build his own foundation and become the king here, but he didn't think of killing him again. As a result, the Chongzhen Dog Emperor was so cruel and ruthless, and he really wanted to kill him. He divided two groups of people to encircle him, and he was bound to win.

Faced with this situation, Li Zicheng was really angry!

"Come on, I will send an order and transfer it back to Liu Song's troops!" Li Zicheng said gritting his teeth, "I want to lead the imperial army to personally expedition, first destroy Huang Degong, then capture Sun Chuanting, and kill him back to Dongwu, Yunnan!"

……………………

Besides, when Persian Emperor Abbas II led his troops back to his country, he was secretly injured by Zhang Xianzhong and suffered heavy losses. He fled back to Kandahar, and gathered troops from this area to Kandahar, preparing to fight back to Persia again. After all, this is his nest, and it must not be lost.

But who knew that when he was about to lead his troops to enter Persia, the garrison in Lahore urgently reported that the bandits had seized Delhi and sent troops to attack Lahore, and urgently needed rescue.

Upon hearing this news, Abbas II was a little stunned.

Those thieves actually came to pull him back at such a critical moment!

For him, it is obviously more important to be the Persian lair. However, if he ignores Lahore, if he leads his troops to leave Kandahar and fails to defeat his own domestic thieves in a short period of time, and Lahore, and even Kandahar, are taken away by the Mughal thieves, then he himself is a thieves!

However, if the bandits in Persia were fighting against the bandits who attacked Lahore, the bandits in Persia might have turned Persia upside down.

For a moment, he was so anxious that he had a toothache!

Finally, he sighed and said, "We must first stabilize our current territory."

But he didn't just do this, after all, he was worried about Persia.

So, Abbas II sent an envoy to the Bukhara Khanate in the north and ceded Kabul on the condition that he asked the Bukhara Khanate to send troops and join him in Persia to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

As for himself, while waiting for the Bukhara Khanate to reply, he led his troops to rescue Lahore.

……………………

However, part of the troops on Lahore's side had been drawn by Abbas II before.

According to Abbas II's idea, Aurangzeb was also an expert in war, and at least he could hold on to Delhi for a long time. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of Zhang Xianzhong's troops in Persia, he transferred as many troops as possible, and only retained basic garrison troops in Lahore.

As a result, not only did Liu Zongmin and Song Xiance lead elite troops to attack, but later, Li Zicheng's order also arrived, asking Liu Zongmin to quickly conquer Lahore and then return to put out the fire.

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, he was captured by Liu Zongmin.

According to Li Zicheng's will, Liu Zongmin wanted to lead his troops back to help after he conquered Lahal. As a result, before he left, he heard the horse-detective return and found that Persian Emperor Abbas II had personally led the army to Lahore.

This situation made Liu Zongmin very anxious. He wanted to lead his troops back immediately, but the Lahore he captured could not be returned to the Persian emperor.

what to do?

Fortunately, Song Xiance made a quick decision at this time and gave Liu Zongmin an idea.

That is, Liu Zongmin made a move to continue to move westward, at least to make the Persian emperor understand that it is impossible to regain Lahore. Because Lahore is a barrier to Chang'an and 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 signed a contract to not violate each other.

Only after stabilizing Persia and without any danger in Lahore, can Liu Zongmin return to help with confidence. Otherwise, it would be easy for him to be unable to save any place!

If you didn't have time to report to Li Zicheng before you decided to do this, you could only report to Li Zicheng while doing it first.

……………………

On the side of Abbas II, after knowing that Lahore was captured by the bandits, he had the intention to retreat. Because his troops were to be used to regain Persia, rather than fighting in Lahore and the Mughals.

However, this intention cannot be known to the thief, otherwise, taking advantage of the situation to rob is the thief's specialty.

In this way, the Persian army and Liu Zongmin's troops confronted each other, all of which were strong outside and had to work on the inside.

The fighting between the scouts quickly made both sides hear some situations on the opposite side.

On the other hand, Liu Zongmin learned that the Persian emperor's army was defeated by Zhang Xianzhong's troops, and he heard that Zhang Xianzhong's firearm was very powerful.

On the side of Abbas II, he also knew that the bandits were no longer bandits, but the army of the Dashun Kingdom. While he was worried, the scout of the Persian army also captured the messenger who urged Liu Zongmin to return to the rescue as soon as possible.

In this case, both sides have a rough understanding of each other's situation.

Therefore, as soon as the decree agreed by Li Zicheng arrived, Liu Zongmin sent an envoy without hesitation to start negotiating with Persia.

For Abbas II, his focus was on returning to Persia, and the demand for Lahore had been minimized, and he was just worried that Liu Zongmin would continue to move westward.

In this case, both parties have sincerity in their peace talks. No matter which party is, they have no time to talk about this peace talks.

Therefore, Abbas II quickly agreed to Liu Zongmin's proposal, and the two sides concluded an alliance, with the middle between Kandahar and Lahore as the border. The two sides reconciled and did not attack each other for at least twenty years, turning enemies into friends.

Abbas II finally struggled for several years, but as before, he still occupied Kandahar. Moreover, a large army of thieves jumped into his country, causing trouble for Persians to live in miserable life. It is simply unknown when it will be pacified.

If there is a regret medicine, Abbas II will definitely buy one.

Now, because of the sharpness of the thief's firearms, he can only hope to defeat the thief with the Bukhara Khanate army and return to his nest first.

As for Liu Zongmin's side, there was no need to say anything. He immediately left his troops and prepared to return to rescue.
