Yuan was defeated!

Even he himself died in the rebellion.

But Wu Sangui did not stop the attack. Unforgiving of his superiority, he severely damaged two groups of bandits and killed Li Zicheng's 40,000 to 50,000 troops before stopping to rest.

He could stop, but Li Zicheng could not. He was in the capital, and he was still dreaming of the emperor's dream, and then he realized the danger he was in.

Surrounded from all sides!

Although it has not reached this point, Zhu Ciying led the army to camp in Cangzhou and watched with eagerness. He also sent Zhou Yuji to occupy Tumen Pass and kill all the way towards Shanxi. And Wu Sangui's other army was wearing white banners and mourning clothes.

The army is marching towards the capital in a mighty manner.

"This is to cut off my retreat!"

Li Zicheng, who was aware of the danger, immediately summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss the matter. After the ministers held sashes in front of the emperor and saluted, Li Zicheng ordered them to sit down. When everyone had just settled down, Li Zicheng asked Liu Zongmin:

"Jixuan, Wu Sangui has broken Yuan Zhi's camp."

Liu Zongmin replied:

"I already know it. Speaking of which, I was negligent. Although I knew that Wu Sangui would definitely send troops before, when he returned to Beijing, he did not make careful arrangements, allowing Wu Sangui to take advantage of the loophole. He only had a total of thirty or forty thousand troops. If we

Be careful, there will be our opponents there!"

Li Zicheng nodded and said:

"You're absolutely right. Wu Sangui took advantage of this loophole. He didn't fight early or late, but he just called when Zhu Ciying was stationing troops in Cangzhou. He was calling Zhu Ciying and the so-called Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

He was afraid that Zhu Ciying would be guilty of plotting against King Qin in the future, so he relied on beating us as pledges to leave some room for maneuver in the future."

He suddenly turned to the Prime Minister and asked:

"Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Sun Kewei quickly stood up and said:

"Your Majesty is wise and wise. He can illuminate everything and see into the heart of Sangui. I think that now that Zhu Ciying wants to cut off my retreat, he leads hundreds of thousands of troops, which is the real trouble for my Dashun. What has become of Wu Sangui's mere 30,000 troops?

Depending on the weather, in my opinion, I might as well attack Zhu Ciying. As long as I defeat Zhu Ciying, Wu Sangui will surrender!"

Li Zicheng's heart moved, and he felt that Sun Kewei's words were reasonable, and asked Song Xiance:

"How about the discussion at the military advisor's house?"

Song Xiance stood up and said: "I'm here to discuss matters at the Military Advisor's Mansion. All the ministers, Yu Shangshu and Gu Xueshi have arrived. During the main meeting, I received a report from Shanxi. The Ming army, led by Zhou Yuji, marched westward to Shanxi and occupied the territory gate.

, intending to cut off my return, I am all filled with righteous indignation. However, because it is a major military and state matter, we cannot act in righteous indignation."

Li Zicheng asked sternly.

"The main thing is, what do you think about sending troops to conquer?"

Song Xiance was shocked and replied:

"Scholar Gu Jun'en advocated a crusade? Yu Shangyou, the minister, also advocated a crusade. However, the matter is so big that I can't help but have doubts. If we don't crusade, will it encourage Wu Sangui's arrogance and disobedience from all over the world? This time Zhou Encountered Jixi Expedition

, even if you demote your officials and demote your people, then you will rebel again. If you don’t defeat the enemy, I’m afraid people from far and near will become disobedient.”

It’s Zhou Yuji again!

Li Zicheng stared at Sun Kewei with some dissatisfaction. If he hadn't dissuaded him at the beginning, Zhou Yuji would still be there. Then he asked angrily:

"That means you all agree to raise troops to attack? In this way, you can suppress their arrogance and eliminate the disobedience in all places, right?"

He, the emperor, must be so aggrieved!

Li Zicheng found that it was better not to go to Beijing than to go to Beijing? Ever since he entered Beijing? Not to mention all kinds of difficulties, even now the way back to his hometown has been blocked.

Not only was the escape route cut off, but even the people were blocked in a far bigger place like the capital.

Could this be a trap deliberately buried by Emperor Chongzhen?

Did he bury himself in a trap with that kid? Want to bury himself in the capital?

If this is really the case, then the Zhu family is really vicious!

But on second thought, Li Zicheng felt that this matter was just a random thought. If Chongzhen had such courage, how could it be the turn of the old Li family to sit on this throne?

Song Xiance knew that the "Sacred Heart" must be extremely angry now, so he stopped talking and sat down with Sun Kewei. Li Zicheng knew that Gu Junen advocated crusade against Zhu Ciying, so he turned to Gu Junen and said:

"When we were in Xiangjing, everyone had different opinions about the next strategy for using troops. It was Qing who suggested to attack Xi'an alone, and then march into Youyan to break through the capital. After arriving in Xi'an, should we continue the Northern Expedition to Youyan?

The officials had different opinions, and it was Qing who advocated striking while the iron was hot and crossing the river to the north as soon as possible. Gu accepted Qing's suggestions twice, which is why we achieved today's success. How to deal with the current situation is a very urgent military and national plan and cannot be taken seriously.

He keeps making decisions and hesitating makes things worse. I have made up my mind, what is your wise opinion?"

Gu Junen understood that the emperor had decided to use troops to attack Zhu Ciying, and now he received the emperor's praise. He thought this was another perfect opportunity to make a contribution, so he immediately stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, Zhu Ciying has decided to become my enemy. He cut off my return and then colluded with Wu Sangui to sneak attack on our army. He claimed to be supervising the country through the so-called posthumous edict. He openly advocated righteousness, called on people far and near, and vowed to restore the Ming Dynasty.

I also mourned Emperor Chongzhen. If such disobedience cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will cause disobedience from far and near. Therefore, I have repeatedly thought about it and asked your majesty to march south immediately after he ascends the throne. With your majesty's reputation of winning every battle,

With the thunderous momentum of our army, we can wipe out this hidden trouble in one fell swoop. In this way, those who want to stir up chaos will not dare to move. Wu Sangui, who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to invade, will also wait and see and stop. Soldiers need to be quick, and they must not hesitate to make things worse. I dare to ask His Majesty to make a judgment.

!”

It’s hard to lead a team if people’s hearts are unstable!

Li Zicheng nodded in agreement. After entering Beijing recently, documents were sent from various places every day. Most of them were sent by General Quan Zehou Tian Jianxiu who stayed in Chang'an. There were also documents sent from various places, and some from Henan.

Some came from Chen Yongfu, the uncle of Wenshui who was stationed in Taiyuan, and from General Liu Fangliang, who was stationed in Baoding. These documents were sent from far and near, and the news from all over the place mentioned that people were in turmoil, and many

The place where he surrendered drove away the officials of Dashun and welcomed the officials of the Ming Dynasty again.

Shanxi is like this, Henan is like this, and even all parts of Shaanxi are very unstable. Why is this happening? In the final analysis, it is because that kid Zhu Ciying used the imperial edict as a flag to supervise the country and command the world as the emperor. Unexpectedly, those

A fool still believes him.

"Jixuan, what do the generals think?"

Liu Zongmin knew that Li Cao advocated prudence, but he didn't take it seriously. He sat down and replied:

"The military generals all advocate crusade. Soldiers are valuable and speed is important. The faster, the better."

Li Zicheng looked at Li Guo again and asked:

"Li Guo, what do you think?"

Li Guo stood up respectfully and said:

"Zhu Ni kept telling the world that we are thieves and are determined to be enemies of Dashun, so there will definitely be a war between us. I think it is better to fight late than to fight quickly. Delaying the time will not be good for me. But after our army enters Beijing

, military discipline is no longer what it used to be. Although several people who violated military discipline have been killed, violations of military discipline are still happening. If we can quickly set out for the Eastern Expedition and the entire army shares the same enemy, the morale of the army will be lifted immediately. Therefore, I agree to immediately

Send out troops. This matter is imminent and cannot be avoided. As for the enthronement ceremony, please forgive my nephew for the death penalty. You might as well postpone it for a while and consider it in the long term."

When Li Zicheng heard that Li Guo suggested that he postpone the enthronement ceremony, his face suddenly turned cold. He was shocked and a murderous intention flashed through his heart. But he quickly calmed down. Li Guo was his nephew and must be loyal to him.

And it's true as he said, soldiers are expensive and quick.

But... being an emperor is also very important!

If it weren't for the purpose of ascending the throne in the capital, how could he have fought all the way to the capital? It would be great to be back home in Chang'an.

Li Zicheng, who was undecided for a moment, immediately asked Gu Junen:

"Postponing the enthronement ceremony may shake the hearts of the people in the world, and may also cause the morale of my army, Dashun, to be lost. Bachelor Gu, what do you have in mind?"

Of course he was the one who ascended the throne first. Who didn't see what Li Zicheng was thinking?
