Li Zicheng asked, "Guoxiong, since you want to vote for me and take me as your leader, do you want to continue to maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty? You won't look at each other, right? And since you believe me as your leader, you have to offer suggestions or strategies that are beneficial to me, right?"

Zhang Biwu said truthfully: "King, I have a plan, that is, to lure the enemy into the deep. Once Sun Chuanting's front line is too long, the supply will be insufficient and the soldiers are tired. His military strength and morale will be greatly reduced, and his army's combat power will be greatly reduced. And the most critical point is that when the Ming army is defeated, the farther away from Tongguan, the less troops retreating to Tongguan will be, and the barrier will not be able to be protected, and Shaanxi will not be able to be protected!"

"If he fought in Tongguan, the terrain here was narrow and not conducive to the battle of the large corps, it would be difficult to destroy him. Moreover, even if Sun Chuanting defeated, Sun Chuanting's troops would be able to retreat to Guanzhong soon, preserve their strength, and not achieve a decisive role! The inner gate would be under the control of the Ming army, and the king would not know when it would take to enter the pass!"

"Yes!" Li Zicheng slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Guoxiong, you, Gu, Mr. Niu, Li Yan and others thought of going together! By luring the enemy deeper, you can better eliminate Sun Chuanting! Because Sun Chuanting kept winning, he could not go deeper, and Chongzhen could not help him, so he would take advantage of the victory to pursue us! At that time, we would fight back against Sun Chuanting, who had too long front line! Haha!"

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he was a little sad. Li Zicheng calculated Chongzhen accurately. If Chongzhen was not anxious and could let his ministers go down and do things without interfering, the Ming Dynasty might not have perished! It was precisely because of Chongzhen's character that later generations said that if Emperor Tianqi could live longer, maybe when facing Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the Ming Dynasty would not have perished.

Of course, there are no assumptions in history, and the speculations of future generations paying attention to ancient events are only speculations!

Now the eyes are all looking at Zhang Biwu! After all, they don’t really believe Zhang Biwu’s surrender.

Li Zicheng asked, "Guoxiong, I wonder what are you thinking?" Zhang Biwu answered truthfully: "Master, the last general is sad! Chongzhen just doesn't know how to use people, and he is one ten thousandth of the wise and magical martial arts of the king. Otherwise, how could the Ming Dynasty be defeated so quickly? Alas! It's God's will! The eighteen sons are destined to be in the kingdom!"

After Li Zicheng became the Grand Marshal, everyone around him flattered him. He is used to flattering words now. Zhang Biwu's flattering words were very helpful when he heard them.

For this reason, Li Zicheng burst into laughter and said, "Okay! Guoxiong, you said it well! Since you have thought of a brilliant plan to destroy Sun Chuanting! Then have you made great contributions to my Dashun?"

Zhang Biwu replied: "I just said that I am a Ming general and I don't want to go to war with the former lord. And if I guard the Lingbao Pass, it will help the king's troops enter Tongguan and enter Shaanxi. Establish a capital in Chang'an! I have heard that Chongzhen had an imperial edict to ask Zuo Liangyu to send troops quickly. Zuo Liangyu wanted to join me, but I was afraid that he would really send troops. So I must guard Lingbao. Zuo Liangyu did not want to be an enemy of the king. When I heard that I was defending the jurisdiction, he would ignore Chongzhen's imperial edict and guard in Wuchang. As long as Zuo Liangyu and Sun Chuanting do not get together, the king can destroy Sun Chuanting!"

Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Zhang Biwu, so you want to restrain Zuo Liangyu for Gu and prevent Zuo Liangyu from joining forces with Sun Chuanting to become enemies with Gu? However, if Zuo Liangyu is coming, he has to pass through Gu's Xiangjing. Xiangjing has already stationed heavily, and even if Zuo Liangyu thinks about him, he can't do it! Haha!"

Li Zicheng said that, and he also knew that Zuo Liangyu was really heading north, which was a huge threat to him! If it could be avoided, it had to be avoided as much as possible.

Li Zicheng laughed loudly, and all his civil and military ministers burst into laughter. However, Zhang Biwu did not make any noise, just listening to a group of people laughing.

At this time, Niu Jinxing came out and accused Zhang Biwu: "Okay, Zhang Biwu! You are not really surrendering to the king! You are just saving your strength! Want to be a hero in this troubled times, right?"

After saying this, Liu Zongmin first jumped out and said, "I think you, Zhang Biwu, are not a good person! If you really learn from Emperor Guan Sheng, you should be loyal to Chongzhen, instead of repeatedly contradicting Chongzhen! Humph! You are not a good person!" As soon as Liu Zongmin finished speaking, his sword was unsheathed with a "bang".

Zhang Biwu looked at Li Zicheng and said, "King, if I don't really come to surrender, why should I come in person? I can just send a messenger. If I come, it's equivalent to trusting the king. The heroes of the king will not be defeated and killed by the generals! They can tolerate others! The king will not kill me!"

Zhang Biwu did not say soft and hard words. He thought to himself: "What's more, if I die, my 20,000 troops will be annexed by Sun Chuanting. If they are determined to avenge me, they will become terrible enemy troops! At that time, they will give Li Zicheng danger! But I know that this situation will never happen! Because Li Zicheng knows this more than anyone else!"

Of course, as Zhang Biwu thought, Li Zicheng did think of this. He looked at Niu Jinxing. The reason why Niu Jinxing jumped out was because he wanted to expose Zhang Biwu's strategy of preserving his strength and prevent Zhang Biwu from looking down on him. At the same time, he scared Zhang Biwu so that Zhang Biwu could be more honest and better serve Li Zicheng with all his heart and strength.

Li Zicheng turned to Liu Zongmin and said righteously: "Jiexuan, Guoxiong is a guest in person, let alone how friendly he has with us, we have to treat him well, but we can't touch the guy! I would rather Zhang Biwu betray the orphan first than betray him first! Isn't it?"

Liu Zongmin said with a whisper and glaring at the eyes: "Our king is kind. Zhang Biwu, you said you didn't meet the Holy Lord. Now you meet the Holy Lord. If you treat Chongzhen like you, we will not let you go! As long as you protect the King with us, you will not be able to stand your glory and wealth! Xu Da and other famous generals in history will also have your share!"

Zhang Biwu had no good opinions about Liu Zongmin. If he hadn't been forced to pay in Beijing, Li Zi would not have succeeded so quickly. However, Liu Zongmin was deeply trusted by Li Zicheng, so he would not have offended this blacksmith Liu now.

Zhang Biwu then clasped his fists and said, "Yes! Mr. Liu taught a lesson! Guoxiong will definitely do his best to protect the king's foothold! I just hope that when Liaodong is recovered in the future, I will send me to the stage to serve the king!"

This is what happened to Li Zicheng's heart. He had never fought with the Tartars. Although it was said that the army and the Tartars were defeated repeatedly, only Zhang Biwu could take advantage and win. Therefore, Li Zicheng believed that if he wanted to recover Liaodong in the future, he had to rely on Zhang Biwu.

Moreover, Li Zicheng's idea was not to ask Zhang Biwu to join his army to help him eliminate Sun Chuanting. He hoped that Zhang Biwu would remain neutral, and this was the best.

Li Zicheng said: "Okay! Guoxiong, Xu Da drove the Yuan people back to the desert, and my Dashun Xu Da will be your Zhang Biwu! You will recover Liaodong and achieve more brilliant achievements than Xu Da! I know you are more eager to make achievements than anyone else. Under my Li Zicheng, there are many achievements for you! You will be even more brilliant than Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Jing, Xu Da and others! Okay! You should go back to Lingbao now! Gu said that you would rather bear the orphan first, and Gu never let you down first!"

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He clasped his fists at Li Zicheng and left.

When Zhang Biwu left, he specifically said something to Li Yan, saying that Li Zicheng is no longer Li Zicheng who had just entered Henan before. Maybe he will become the same as Chongzhen in the future, and he will harm the heroes at will. Since ancient times, he will be with the king as if he is with a tiger. Li Yan must be careful.

From the beginning, Li Yan felt that Li Zicheng no longer trusted him as much as before. Even if he could only obey, he was not happy!

What Zhang Biwu reminded him that he would be harmed by Li Zicheng, and Li Yan believed it because now Li Zicheng had very distrustful of Li Yan. Li Yan only smiled at Zhang Biwu. Now that he and Li Zicheng have a certain status as a ruler and minister, he had to do his best to assist Li Zicheng. Even if the tragedy of the murder of the loyal minister fell on him in the end, he would not care! He would rather be a loyal minister than betray Li Zicheng for death!

Zhang Biwu knew that he could not persuade Li Yan, and there was no way, he would find a way to save Li Yan in the future.

Zhang Biwu and Li Yan had a great conversation, so Zhang Biwu became sworn brothers with Li Yan. What they didn't expect was that these were explored by Niu Jinxing. In Li Zicheng's tent, Niu Jinxing was most afraid of someone threatening his status, and this person was only Li Yan. So the conflict between him and Li Yan was getting more and more intensified. He was full of jealousy of Li Yan and wanted to get rid of Li Yan.

For this reason, Niu Jinxing sent someone to secretly pay attention to Zhang Biwu and Li Yan's every move, and even Li Yan was surrounded by Niu Jinxing's people, but Li Yan didn't know all this. Others were determined to plot against you, but you were not wary of it. So why don't others kill you?

Niu Jinxing knew that Zhang Biwu advised Li Yan to be careful that Li Zicheng would kill Li Yan in the future, so Li Yan would be better off guard and said something ignorantly.

Moreover, Niu Jinxing also said the most important thing - Zhang Biwu did not surrender to Li Zicheng, but surrendered to Li Yan. In Zhang Biwu's heart, only Li Yan was his real master.

He was not sworn with Li Yan, but wanted to establish his monarchy with Li Yan. Otherwise, why would Zhang Biwu go to Li Yan first instead of Li Zicheng first? This shouldn't be!
