Li Yan spoke, "Mr. Niu, why do you think I will surrender to the Ming Dynasty?"

Niu Jinxing smiled and said, "Because you are a smart person, do you really want to be destroyed with Dashun?"

Li Yan emphasized his tone: "Who said Dashun will be destroyed?"

Niu Jinxing expressed her confidence: "Didn't I tell you just now? Our court has His Royal Highness!"

This sentence seemed to hit some parts of Li Yan's heart, causing him to fall into silence again.

After a long time, Li Yan spoke again: "Maybe one day, I will seriously consider your proposal, but not now. Military Secretary Niu, Your Majesty treats me well. I shouldn't betray him at such a time. You go."

Niu Jinxing was obviously a little surprised, but she still showed a gentle enough smile: "Then, I hope we can see each other again in the future."

Beijing City, Ming Dynasty Palace.

"Is there any news from Li Zicheng?" Emperor Chongzhen asked.

After a brief silence, Wang Chengen said: "The news that the Jinyiwei just sent back, the attempt to persuade the enemy general Li Yan to surrender has failed."

This news obviously made Chongzhen feel a little unsatisfied: "Li Zicheng has already ended. Is there anyone who wants to bury Li Zicheng with him? It's simply outrageous."

The British Duke said, "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, neither Li Zicheng nor Zhang Xianzhong will sit and wait for death. Li Zicheng should soon try to launch a new offensive in Central Plains."

Chongzhen snorted and said, "What is Li Zicheng? He is just a defeated general under my command!"

To this day, Chongzhen was indeed quite confident when he said this.

British justice: "The old minister is not talented and is willing to lead the army in the Central Plains. He will never give Li Zicheng the opportunity to counterattack."

Chongzhen looked at the British Duke and felt relieved, but he was worried about the Liaodong side, so he said, "If the British Duke does not take charge of the capital, what should I do if Jiannu comes?"

British justice: "I recommend that Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen guard the front line of Shanhaiguan. Xiangcheng Bo is now a man who is good at fighting. As long as he is here, he will definitely be able to protect the capital."

Chongzhen nodded and said with satisfaction: "Then do it like this."

At this time, Fan Jingwen spoke: "Your Majesty, what about the prince's side? Does the court need to send some troops to support His Royal Highness?"

Chongzhen was obviously hesitant and turned his attention to the British Duke.

The British Duke said without hesitation: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, since Your Highness took the initiative to go on the expedition, it means that Your Highness must be fully confident this time and be able to lead the new army to destroy Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

At present, the court needs to face the two enemies Li Zicheng and Jiannu, and the demand for military strength is still very strong. The old minister believes that it is better not to mobilize troops south for the time being."

Chongzhen could see that the reason why the British Duke said this was mostly because he was very confident in Zhu Cilang.

This confidence made Chongzhen feel a little dazed. My son, who is fifteen, oh no, is he really so powerful?

Chongzhen calmed down and said, "Okay, let's do it."

Jiujiang City.

Zhu Cilang looked at the city in front of him, his brows inevitably frowned.

"No cannons..."

Although the system fired 10,000 muskets to Zhu Cixuan, one must be clear that muskets alone cannot break through the city wall.

Large-caliber artillery is the real death talisman of the city wall!

Since Zuo Liangyu was attacked by a sneak attack at that time, there was almost no damage to the hands of Zhang Xianzhong's Western Army.

This gave Zhu Cilang a headache now.

Gao Dejie stood beside Zhu Cixuan and came up with an idea: "Your Highness, otherwise we will siege it for a long time?"

Zhu Cilang shook his head slowly: "This is not a good idea, General Gao."

For Zhu Cixuan, what he prefers is of course a quick battle.

Gao Dejie said: "I am indeed dull, and your highness naturally has better plans."

Including Gao Dejie, many Ming soldiers have begun to feel a bit like a personality cult to Zhu Cilang.

Zhu Cilang said seriously: "Actually, I want to meet Li Dingguo."

Gao Dejie was a little surprised: "Meet Li Dingguo? Your Highness, this is too dangerous."

Zhu Ciyang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Danger? Now our soldiers are surrounding Jiujiang City. Li Dingguo has only 10,000 or 20,000 troops killed by Li Dingguo. Danger is the most dangerous. What does it have to do with this palace? Okay, send someone to send a letter to Li Dingguo."

Half a day later, in the Jiujiang City Command Mansion, Li Dingguo stared at the letter in front of him, with a clear confusion on his face.

"What do you want to do in this Prince Ming?"

In front of Li Dingguo, many generals had already quarreled.

"This must be the court's plan. Your Highness, you cannot be fooled!"

"That's right, the courts have always been despicable and shameless. We just need to defend Jiujiang well and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

"Your Highness, you can't go."

Li Dingguo snorted, raised his hand and pressed it, signaled everyone present to shut up, and then made his decision.

"Send someone to reply, which means that I will meet with the prince today."

This decision caused an uproar among his subordinates, but Li Dingguo no longer paid attention to them and his attitude was very firm.

After all, subordinates were subordinates, so in the end, everyone did not continue to argue.

Li Dingguo's reply returned to the Ming army's camp and presented it to Zhu Cixuan, which made Zhu Cixuan's face also show a smile.

"I know that Li Dingguo should agree."

Gao Dejie obviously doesn't understand this.

"Why would he agree?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Because Li Dingguo considers himself the prince of Daxi, and I am the prince of Daming. If he refuses my invitation, isn't it shameful? From this perspective, it would be normal for him to agree."

Gaodejie: ​​"..."

Face is an illusory thing, but for many men, it is something more important than life.

The next day, on a river surface outside Jiujiang City, Li Dingguo's ship gradually moved closer to the center of the river.

There, a large ship was already waiting for Li Dingguo.

The moment he saw Zhu Cilang, although Li Dingguo was prepared, he was still a little surprised on his face.

Because in front of him was indeed a sixteen-year-old boy.
