However, Li Zicheng is different after all. He thought for a while and said, "Okay, I promise you. If you persuade me to surrender successfully, what benefits will you want."

Guan Qing was about to speak, but Li Hao hurriedly smiled: "The King of Chuangying Ming is Shenwu. The villain came to join him because he was very impressed by the King of Chuangying. The villain did not dare to receive the merits, but after the matter was completed, the King of Chuang would be rewarded with some silver. Let the villain return home in glory, that's all."

Li Hao is a thousand households and is well versed in the rules of the officialdom. Human nature is nothing but fame and fortune. If we say that we don’t want anything and only want to serve the King of Breaking, this will inevitably arouse Li Zicheng’s suspicion.

Li Zicheng was a thief, a thief that the world could not tolerate. If he followed him, he would become the mortal enemy of officers and soldiers. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was not something that Li Zicheng could compete with.

If they entered the city and persuaded surrender, they would just serve with Li Zicheng. This seemed a bit unreasonable. Li Zicheng would doubt why these guys who came out of nowhere were worthy of their trust.

You should know that Gushi County was taken down by Zhang Xianzhong. Since Li Zicheng broke up with Zhang Xianzhong, he could not verify the origin of these people. If they came to the city to persuade them to surrender just to join them, they would always feel that there was a fraud.

It is not the case for money. None of the hundreds of thousands of refugees outside Kaifeng City came for money. It is understandable that some of them wanted to get money and return home in glory to be a local rich man.

Sure enough, when Li Zicheng heard Li Hao say this, he immediately smiled: "It's so good. If you guys can persuade the King of Zhou without bloodshed, I promise you that my army will not violate the Zhou royal palace. You guys will reward each with 3,000 silver, no, each with 5,000 taels of silver."

Li Hao and others pretended to be overjoyed: "Thank you Wang Chuang, and the villain will fulfill his mission!"

"Wait," Li Zicheng's face suddenly darkened and he said to Li Hao: "You have entered Kaifeng City and you have to do something for me."

Several people looked at each other, and Li Hao had to ask: "I don't know what the King of Chuang has to give, so the villain must do his best."

"If you enter Kaifeng Mansion, if you can find a man named Li Yan, then hand over this letter to him. If you can find Li Yan, you will each reward ten thousand taels of silver."

Li Hao and others were shocked. Who was Li Yan? He actually made the thief so concerned. Moreover, they persuaded the King of Zhou to surrender to open the Kaifeng city gate to only reward 5,000 silver. If they found Li Yan, they would reward 10,000 silver taels. In other words, in Li Zicheng's heart, Li Yan was as important as Kaifeng Prefecture.

When Li Zicheng saw the expressions of several people, he said coldly: "Why, don't you guys?"

"No, no, no, the villain just couldn't imagine what kind of immortal this person named Li Yan is, and he was so respected by King Chuang."

Li Zicheng did not answer, but said leisurely: "If you get help from this person, great things can be accomplished."

Both sides wanted to get Li Yan. The crown prince traveled thousands of miles and asked them to rush to Kaifeng to find a man named Li Yan. The thief Li Zicheng surrounded Kaifeng and was actually looking for Li Yan.

Until now, Li Hao and others truly understand how important Li Yan is. Could it be that he is a Zhuge Liang-style character?

Li Zicheng waved his hand: "Arrang to some of them and go to the city gate to negotiate."

After walking into several peasant troops, they escorted Li Hao and others to retreat. At this time, Liu Zongmin in the camp asked in confusion: "King of Chuang, if these people fail the mission. If you hand over the letter to these people, if they are discovered by the King of Zhou in Kaifeng City, wouldn't Li Yan be dangerous?"

Li Zicheng smiled coldly: "I have heard of Mr. Li's name for a long time, but if Zhu Gongzi refused to surrender, we would kill Li Yan with him so that he would not be able to fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers for his use."

In some aspects, Li Zicheng and Zhu Cilang were really imaginative. They were both afraid that Li Yan would fall into each other's hands. If Zhu Gongye refused to surrender, then if Li Yan in the city was with the Ming army, he would be even more dangerous.

Since this is the case, it would be better to use Zhu Gongzi to get rid of Li Yan. What I can't get will destroy him, no one can imagine. Otherwise, once Li Yan falls to the gang of officers and soldiers, he will be their strong enemy in the future.

Mr. Li was famous for his long time. He just wrote some poems to sympathize with the victims. But Li Yan did not indicate whether he hated the court or hated the bandits. Before he could no longer get the other party's expression, Li Zicheng chose the same approach as Zhu Cixuan.

Zhu Gongye, a native of Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province, and the son of Zhu Suqin, King Duan of Zhou.

At this time, Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng Prefecture, and Zhu Gongxian personally took out 500,000 silver to pay the guards' soldiers, and hanged the reward grid to kill a thief and give fifty gold.

Under his call, the morale of the military and civilians in Kaifeng City was immediately boosted. Killing a bandit to reward fifty taels of silver, this is a huge temptation. There must be brave men under the heavy reward. "The people in Kaifeng City hold bows, arrows, swords and spears to climb the city, are afraid of the queen."

The military and civilians of Kaifeng City joined forces to build Kaifeng City to defend against the attack of treacherous bandits. Because they vaguely knew that once these bandits entered the city, they would be plundering indiscriminately.

There are five city gates in Kaifeng City. After the Battle of Baocheng began, the officials left behind in the city were responsible for guarding each gate. The east gate, Liang Bing, the left governor, was responsible for guarding each gate. The Cao Gate, the east gate, the east gate and the Cao Gate north of the east gate, were guarded by Cai Maode, the right governor, the north gate, the Guanhe Tongzhi Sang Kaidi, and the south gate, the Kaifeng Prefecture governor, Wu Shishen, was responsible for guarding.

The Ximen was the focus of the siege of the treacherous siege. The inspector Gao Mingheng was responsible for guarding, Su Zhuang, and the procurator Huang Shu and others. In addition, the magistrate of Xiangfu County, Wang Xie, led the yamen runners to guard Xicheng, Cao Kun, the conscientious official of the Zhou royal palace, and Li Yingchun, the left chief secretary, led the 800 warriors of the royal palace to climb the walls of the Xicheng to participate in the battle.

At this time, Li Zicheng had already ordered the attack to stop.

Li Zicheng's two generals, Clay and Jars, each rode out in a dou Valley. These bandits would each give themselves a loud and even weird nickname.

The cider jar and Yidou Gu are two generals under Li Zicheng. A few days ago, the two suffered great losses from officers and soldiers under the city wall.

At this time, the two of them rode out and stood far outside the Xicheng Gate and shouted: "Listen to me, the officers and soldiers of Kaifeng City are virtuous, and they cannot bear the death and injury of the people. Now we send envoys to the city to negotiate. Please open the city gate!"

‘Swoosh swish swish swish!…’ Unexpectedly, what greeted them was the feather arrows that kept shooting down from the city wall. Then, the inspector Gao Mingheng poked his head out: “As the thief, I am incompatible with you. The bandits dared to make us open the city and dared to come forward again, and kill them without any hesitation!”
