Song Xiance hurriedly returned to Xi'an and immediately reported the results of the negotiation with Li Xiao to Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng, with a burnt face, finally landed on the ground.

However, Li Zicheng was still inexplicably sad when he thought of giving up the entire Shaanxi-Gansu land, including the current Dashun capital Xi'an, to the Tang army in this way.

Alas, I really didn't expect that I, Old Li, rebelled and lost all my life until now. The fate of this world is so fucking hard that people can't guess.

Li Xiao can at least distinguish the contradiction between the primary and secondary, and is willing to watch himself attack the Yarkand Khanate in order to achieve the effect of killing people with a knife. This guy's scheming and rationality are indeed hard to match, and it is beyond the reach of the world.

Perhaps, in the near future, this guy will eventually tear off his mask and ascend to the throne of the emperor that he has been coveting for a long time.

Unexpectedly, after working hard for a lifetime, the whole world would eventually be taken away by this humble Liaodong hunter. Alas, this knot was probably something that no one expected.

Li Zicheng sighed and came back from his myths. He immediately ordered: "I will send my order that all countries and all over the country gather in Xi'an, empty the city and the prefectures for the Tang army to accept it. Xi'an and officials from all over the country should immediately pack up their luggage, prepare their weapons, collect all the food and grass, and wait until the troops gather together, the entire army will go to Jiayuguan and prepare to go out to fight and attack the Yarkand Khanate!"

"Yes, my servant follows the order."

After Li Zicheng's order, the Shun Army soldiers in Shaanxi and Gansu immediately set up camps and retreated to Xi'an, leaving behind unprepared cities and allowed the Tang army to accept them.

They were naturally very satisfied with this result from King Li Xiao of Tang to ordinary soldiers. They deliberately slowed down and allowed the Shun army to withdraw and then take over the city and land.

This process is extremely comfortable and comparable to public travel.

The Shun army withdrew very quickly. Just eight days later, they gathered in the Xi'an area. At the order of Li Zicheng, the entire army went west and headed straight to Jiayuguan.

As soon as he left, behind him was the overwhelming Tang army rushing towards entering the thousand-year-old ancient city in Xi'an.

Here, the Tang army began to hold a grand entry ceremony, and the entire army prepared to enter the city from the north gate of Xi'an until outside the Dashun Palace.

Before the Tang army entered the city, it was seen by a group of idle people first. One out of ten, ten out of ten. After the order on the street was settled, the already lively people in Xi'an immediately caused a sensation when they heard that the Tang army was about to hold an entry ceremony.

A large number of people in Xi'an, including men, women, young and old, ran from all directions to watch the fun, surrounded the North Gate Zhucheng tightly, everyone stretched their necks and looked into the Zhucheng on tiptoe, pointing at the Tang army who were preparing for the formation outside the city, and exclaiming, talking and admiring.

"See, this is the Tang King's army! It is magnificent, with a strict military appearance and awesomeness. The little old man has lived in Xi'an for most of his life and has never seen such an elite official army. It really opened his eyes!"

"Do you know? I heard that these are soldiers directly under the command of the King of Tang. Tsk, it's really a good military appearance and aura. In my opinion, the Shun army under Li Zhe was compared with the soldiers under the King of Tang. Kow, it was simply from heaven and underground!"

"Well, that's not! Li Zhe started his career as a thief. His soldiers and horses were not different from bandits and robbers except for the title of an official army. Compared with the soldiers and horses of the Tang King, these bandits who harmed the people are not enough to wipe their shoes!"

"That's right, these bastards are the best at killing people and stealing people. They are the best at harming the people. They don't dare to fight with the Tang army anymore. They just run away one by one. What a fucking bunch of cowards. I'm thinking that Shunjun really wants to go out of the city to fight with the Tang King, and I'm afraid that even if I'm going to pee, I'm afraid that the Tang King will be scared! Alas, I really hope that the Tang King will be stationed in Xi'an and will not give the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity. We ordinary people will have a safe life."

The people chattered and said, as if they were watching a free drama, they refused to disperse, so that the nearby streets were surrounded by water. The lively Xi'an people even began to squeeze into the Beimen City, stretching their necks one by one, like a group of ducks whose necks were lifted. It seemed that they could take this closer look at what the Tang army looked like outside the city.

After the reorganization was completed, Li Xiao ordered that he personally lead tens of thousands of elite troops to enter from outside Anyuan Gate to the north.

Firecrackers were roaring, colorful flags were flying, and gongs and drums were roaring. The front was led by a group of guards with distinctive armor. The heroic and majestic Tang King Li Xiao, under the protection of a group of guards, entered from Anyuan Gate in the north with high spirits.

At this time, when the Tang army entered the city, the people in the city flocked to us. They stood densely along both sides of the street. Everyone stretched their necks to see what style the Tang King Li Xiao was and what kind of person he was.

The people were enthusiastic and cheerful, everyone was smiling and looking straight at each other. The scene was very enthusiastic. Because there were too many people coming to watch, the Tang army had to send a large number of auxiliary soldiers first and stand on both sides of the street to maintain order to ensure that the team entering the city could pass smoothly.

Soon, Li Xiao led his horse straight into the street from Anyuan Gate. When he arrived at the main street, everyone saw that the Tang King was so young and heroic, and he was extremely arrogant. He couldn't help but admire him.

Immediately, they saw that the elite cavalry and military under them were well-equipped, dazzling swords and guns, and could be called a mighty journey of the army. The people in Xi'an City suddenly had thunder and applause. The people's cheers quickly swept across the city like thunder.

Li Xiao sat upright on the horse. At first glance, there were only black people on the streets on both sides, cheering and making noise. Later, after the auxiliary soldiers who maintained order shouted, they gradually became silent.

Li Xiao stepped forward and walked slowly. Under the protection of a group of guards, he kept smiling and waving to the people on both sides.

Seeing that he was so close to the people, he had no airs of the Tang King at all. Many of the hundreds of thousands of people who came to watch in the city shed tears. When Li Xiao got closer, he shouted long live one by one, bowed his head and knelt down.

Hearing the long live sound like a surging sea tide, Li Xiao suddenly felt a sudden change.

Is it finally time to be the first to be the best people like this?

Li Xiao's smile became brighter and slower, and he walked slowly among the rows of kneeling people.

Li Xiao walked farther and farther away, and finally completely disappeared into the depths of this thousand-year-old ancient city, and could not be seen anymore...

Three days later, Li Zicheng personally led 150,000 troops and horses to the west to Jiayuguan and enter the Yarkand Khanate with all his strength.

However, the Yarkand Khanate had already discovered in advance that Li Zicheng's troops were moving westward, and he temporarily dispatched tens of thousands of troops to place them in the border city. For a time, Dashun and Yarkand fought back and forth, and they were very happy.

Such a situation is most in line with Li Xiao's previous judgment on the battle situation. He was very happy about the stalemate between Dashun and the Yarkand Khanate.

It’s not too good to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.

However, now Li Zicheng has many troops and enough food and grass, so there is no need to provide emergency support to him. The Tang army could watch the show freely at the Jiayu Pass, watching Dashun and the Yarkand Khanate dog bite and beat him to death.

As the Tang army quickly took over all territories, the Shaanxi-Gansu area was quickly pacified, and the remaining bandits and robbers everywhere were quickly wiped out by the Tang army.

After Shaanxi and Gansu, the entire Ming Empire, except for the Zheng Zhilong tribe who appeared to be surrendering in the south, was all included in Li Xiao's hands. The four barbarians were subdued and the country was unified. Such a grand achievement was beyond the present.

After Li Xiao pacified Shaanxi and Gansu, he left Monk An's second town of troops stationed in Gansu, and Mo Changrong's eleventh town of troops stationed in various parts of Shaanxi to support Monk An's troops.

The rest of the troops attacking Li Zicheng, as well as reinforcements such as the Qing court and even the North Korean and Japan, all went south to Huguang, Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces according to Li Xiao's order. Li Xiao used more than 300,000 troops, like a huge rock pressing eggs, to attack the two provinces where Zheng Zhilong's troops were located.

The outside world was rustled and the bandits were eliminated. Zheng Zhilong, a vassal state that nominally surrendered, finally reached the point where he was to be completely eliminated.

If the golden cup is unified, how can it be missing?

If the country wants to be in a long-term state, a powerful vassal state like Zheng Zhilong must be completely eliminated and must not leave any troubles behind.

When Li Xiao mobilized his troops south on such a large scale, the news spread to Fuzhou quickly. Zheng Zhilong received such terrifying information, just like an ant on a hot pan.

Without hesitation, he immediately called Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Cai, and his son Zheng Chenggong to discuss countermeasures in the living room.

The atmosphere in the living room was depressing and dull, and Zheng Zhilong's face was gloomy, so gloomy that it could almost drip water.

"Everyone, now the Tang army is in a turmoil, with more than 300,000 troops. Our army's troops stationed in Guangdong and Fujian, plus the number of emergency expansion, is only 150,000, less than half of the Tang army. The Tang army has a large number of powerful artillery to assist. How can our army stop it when attacking with such a strong force?"

Zheng Zhilong finished this passage worriedly, and there was another silence below.

Everyone knows what the powerful force of more than 300,000 Tang troops means? At this critical moment, perhaps with just one move, there may be a complete loss.

In the silence, it was Zheng Chenggong, the son of Zheng Zhilong, who spoke first. He looked around and sighed: "Father, everyone, in the opinion of the following, the only truly feasible solution is to immediately surrender to the Tang army while the Tang army has not yet attacked."

As soon as Zheng Chenggong said this, everyone was shocked. Everyone looked at him like a strange animal, as if they had never known this young prince.

Zheng Zhilong also frowned, stared at his son in front of him, and asked in a depressed manner: "Successful, why did you say this?"

Zheng Chenggong replied in a deep voice: "Report to Father, the child has carefully considered that the situation is stronger than the people. Li Zicheng's Dashun and the Qing Dynasty on the frontier were all defeated too quickly, which is not enough to allow our army to accumulate strength. Now our army lacks enough troops and lacks firearms, how can it be the opponent of the Tang army? If Father wants to preserve fame and wealth, he must take this step."

He paused for a moment and said hurriedly: "Father, now the Tang army has basically unified the Ming territory, and all the four barbarians have also sent a large number of reinforcements to help him fight. Li Xiao's army's mighty power can be said to have reached its peak. With such powerful strength, how can our army compete with him? If we don't hurry up and surrender to him immediately before the Tang army started attacking, we can get his appreciation. In the end, by actively giving the merits, we can not only avoid a disaster of war, but also protect our lives and everyone's property. Isn't that a very good plan?"

After Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, Zheng Zhilong still frowned, but he was still pondering. At this moment, Zheng Zhibao shouted: "No! Never surrender to the Tang army like this!"

His roar shook the roof tiles, which scared everyone to death, and his eyes looked at him all at once.

Zheng Zhibao stood up high, clenched his right fist with a big sand bowl, waved it threateningly, and shouted: "Brother, everyone, although our army is less than half of the Tang army, we defend it based on cities and passes. Even if the number of troops is less than that of the Tang army, what's wrong with it? What's more, our army has a naval force that is stronger than the Tang army. We can not only defeat the Tang army's naval army first, completely control the sea areas of Southeast Asia, but also provide endless support to Guangdong and Fujian. If the Tang army wants to defeat our army in one fell swoop, it is afraid that it will be a big deal. If the two commanders continue to fight against each other, the Tang army's troops will not be long. When he is most forced to retreat, our army's opportunity will come."

When Zheng Zhibao said this, Zheng Cai also interrupted urgently: "Brother Zhibao is right. Damn, if you raise your hand to surrender without a shot, it will be too depressed by the Zheng family. What's more, our army is waiting for labor and defending the city. Even if the Tang army's troops are twice as many as our army, what's the fear? I wonder if our navy defeated Li Xiao's Tang army navy first, it would also be a great blow to their morale. At that time, if the Tang army cannot capture it for a long time, they will retreat. If our army takes the opportunity to attack each other, they may win a great victory."

After Zheng Cai finished his words, Zheng Zhilong nodded slightly, and there seemed to be a look of approval on his face.

Seeing that these two uncles were like this, Zheng Chenggong was anxious and shouted loudly: "Two uncles, what you are thinking is too wishful thinking. I will ask you, how strong are our soldiers, compared to the Qing army and the Shun army? Are they not as good as them? Even the Qing army and the Shun army were quickly defeated by the Tang army. Why do you have such confidence to defend the city for a long time and survive until the Tang army retreats? At the moment of the army, isn't it a joke to be self-paralyzed and comforted?"

Zheng Chenggong's words were just right, and Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but sigh.

He was originally a hesitant and indecisive person. After listening to everyone's opinions, he felt even more confused and didn't know how to deal with the opponent next.

He looked at Zheng Hongkui, who had been silent on the side with a keen eye, hoping that this younger brother, who seemed resourceful to him, could express his opinion and point him out a bright road.

Seeing that his brother's eyes looked at him, Zheng Hongkui knew that he had reached the point of expressing his opinion. He sighed, stroked his beard, and said to Zheng Zhilong: "Brother, I think that our army has two ways to go in the current situation, that is, you can surrender to the Tang army or fight with the Tang army."

Zheng Hongkui's words made everyone in the seat stunned.
