(In the new week, please support the recommendation votes, Lao Kun urgently needs recommendation votes!)

In Xi'an, in the Chengyun Hall of the former Qinwang Mansion, a middle-aged man with a dark face and a dragon robe cursed.

"Your mother, these Tartars are so thief-hearted! They dare to make a decision on Shanxi."

"Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, you can only defend Shanxi at all costs. As long as the Tartars do not cross the Yellow River, it will be impossible to threaten Guanzhong."

A man with a slightly fat figure and a scholarly face respectfully offered advice.

The two of them answered this question were Emperor Li Zicheng of the Dashun Dynasty and Prime Minister Niu Jinxing.

Although the situation is now severe, the Dashun regime still owns the land of Guanzhong, Shanxi and Huguang, and may not have no chance of turning the tables.

If you want to survive in death, the most important thing is to preserve Guanzhong. Since ancient times, the king's business has flourished here. Niu Jinxing firmly believes that as long as Li Zicheng takes Guanzhong as the foundation, he will be able to return to Beijing sooner or later.

"Well, this... Of course I know. I have left most of the troops in Shanxi. If the Tartars want to steal, I will tell him to come and go!"

Another young adviser, Song Xiance, was silent. Since he fought against Shanhaiguan and Dingzhou, Zhending lost several consecutive games, the morale of the Dashun army has fallen to the bottom.

At this time, Li Zicheng not only did not appease the people, but instead believed Niu Jinxing's slander and wrongly killed General Li Yan.

Song Xiance was very disappointed with this and no longer spoke much about political affairs, so he allowed Niu Jinxing and another popular adviser Gu Junen to offer advice.

Of course, Li Zicheng also noticed the changes in Song Xiance, but he did not intend to say some heartfelt words like he did back then, so that Song Xiance could do his best to work hard for him again.

Because Song Xiance made a mistake that he could not tolerate - publicly support Li Yan and plead for him.

"What do you think about Qi Hou?"

Li Zicheng skipped Song Xiance directly and turned to Gu Junen.

After conquering Beijing, Gu Junen was once named Duke of Qi, but Li Zicheng usually called "Mr. Gu". Therefore, his sudden call of Gu Junen Qi Hou made Gu Junen a little uncomfortable.

"I also believe that Guanzhong is the foundation of the emperor's business. If you guard Guanzhong, you must guard Shanxi. However, in addition, you should also take Wuchang as much as possible. In this way, you don't have to worry about food."

Li Zicheng nodded frequently when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "I have said a long time ago that Huguang must manage with care and immediately give Bai Wang an order to make progress."

Seeing that Li Zicheng was humbly accepting advice, Gu Junen continued: "Your Majesty, General Bai's troops are only 70,000 to 80,000. It is no problem to defend the four deeds, but if you want to attack Wuchang, the troops may be a little insufficient. It is better to send Ru Hou to lead 50,000 troops to reinforce and take Wuchang down in one fell swoop!"

Gu Junen was so excited that he thought Li Zicheng would adopt his suggestion immediately, but who would have thought that the Emperor Dashun shook his head and said, "Jiexuan (Liu Zongmin's name) cannot leave. He is my right-hand man. If he leads his troops to Huguang, what if the Qing soldiers really cross the Yellow River and the troops are at Tongguan, who can I use?"

Gu Junen was disappointed. He was seeking wealth and honor in danger. Why didn’t Li Zicheng understand such a simple truth?

When I was a bandit, I always kept my head on my belt and fought against the government army, but I didn’t see anything scared. Why did people become so brave as soon as they become emperors?

"Your Majesty is in charge in Guanzhong, and it is as stable as Mount Tai. Ru Hou led his troops to reinforce General Bai, who was surprised and would definitely catch Zuo Liangyu off guard!"

Gu Junen still refused to give up and tried his best to speak out.

"No need to say anything more, my intention has been decided!"

Li Zicheng waved impatiently: "Jiexuan must stay."

Gu Junen gritted his teeth and said, "Even if Mr. Ru cannot lead troops to reinforce General Bai, he should send generals to reinforce him. Otherwise, it would be difficult for General Bai to take over Wuchang."

Seeing that Gu Junen took a step back, Li Zicheng didn't want to be too stiff, so he also gave in: "Then ask Zongdi to lead the troops of the Right Camp to reinforce Xiangjing."

Mianhou?

Gu Junen felt a little confused when he saw that Li Zicheng finally chose Yuan Zongdi.

Compared with the back camp of Li Guo, the left camp of Liu Fangliang, the right camp of Yuan Zongdi's army was poorer in combat power. Moreover, Yuan Zongdi himself has a softer personality and is a good-looking person in the army.

How much support can the Baiwang tribe provide to send such a person to command troops and reinforcements?

But Li Zicheng has already said this, and Gu Junen can't refute it anymore.

After all, it is no longer the day when I swung a spoon in a pot.

Once a regime is established, the king is the king and the minister is the minister, and the distinction is clear.

From the moment Li Zicheng changed the Qin Palace to the Dashun Palace, he had already distanced himself from the brothers who conquered the world.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Gu Junen bowed to Li Zicheng very weakly.

In any case, he could no longer look back now, so he could only hope that Yuan Zongdi would return hard and take Wuchang together with Bai Wang's army.

As long as Wuchang is taken down, the situation will improve immediately. At that time, whether it is negotiating with the Southern Ming court to jointly fight against the Qing Dynasty or forming a tacit understanding, Dashun will have enough capital.

......

Leaving Chengyun Hall, Li Zixing returned to the harem.

As soon as he saw Queen Gao Guiying, he waved his hand anxiously and said, "Come Xiao Naizixuan into the palace, and give him some important things."

Seeing that Li Zicheng was so anxious, Gao Guiying asked quickly: "Why is Your Majesty so anxious to see Xiao Naizi?"

"Oh, Guiying, I'm going to tell you, you're always unable to sleep well at night, and often have nightmares. I dreamed that Jiexuan was holding a knife and chopping off his forehead. I wanted Xiao Naizi to help him stare at him."

The little Naizi mentioned by Li Zicheng was his adopted son Zhang Nai. Because he had no heir, Li Zicheng always regarded his adopted son as a parent-child. His other adopted son Li Shuangxi was killed after being defeated in Shanhaiguan for the rear of the army. Therefore, Li Zicheng attached more importance to Zhang Nai.

"Your Majesty is too careless, right? Jiexuan just said a few jokes, don't take it to heart."

Seeing that Li Zicheng suspected Liu Zongmin, Gao Guiying comforted him with kind words.

Li Zicheng shook his head and said, "That's not a few jokes, Jiexuan is not convinced."

It turned out that Li Zicheng wanted to ascend the throne immediately after entering Beijing, but Liu Zongmin said: I made a sound with him, why do you worship him?

Later, Li Zicheng was dissatisfied with Liu Zongmin's fierce means of torture of the former Ming officials. Liu Zongmin directly responded: The emperor's power belongs to you, and the torture belongs to me, so there is no trouble.

In April, Wu Sangui surrendered and rebelled again. When Li Zicheng decided to send Liu Zongmin to attack Wu Sangui, Liu Zongmin said again in the hall: Everyone is a thief. Why do you enjoy it in the capital and let me work hard on the front line?

Li Zicheng had no choice but to lead the army in person, and Liu Zongmin followed Li Zicheng to go there.

Although there was no substantial conflict between the two sides, the cracks had already formed.

It is easy to share hardships, but it is difficult to share wealth and honor.

Liu Zongmin was Li Zicheng's best brother and the number one general in the Dashun army. It is precisely for this reason that Liu Zongmin's prestige in the Dashun Dynasty was second only to Li Zicheng.

The great achievements are the master. Li Zicheng was worried about Liu Zongmin, so he did not dare to let him lead troops alone to reinforce Xiangjing.
