With the support of Hao Guangming's information, she also had some understanding of Li Yutian, Zhu Yuluo, Li Yan and Hong Niangzi.

Li Yutian was a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen.

He once served as county magistrate of Yifeng (Lankao), Shenqiu, Qixian and other places, and had great achievements in quelling thieves.

Later, he served successively as Baoding and Changping Qianshi, and played an important role in defending the city.

Later he was promoted to deputy capital censor and governor of Baoding.

After the Battle of Songjin, he was appointed governor of Liaodong and was the last governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty.

During his tenure, he commanded Wu Sangui to go into battle and defeat the Qing Dynasty Melezhangkinnert.

Later he was promoted to censor of Youdu.

After the fall of the capital, Li Yutian surrendered to Li Zicheng along with Wu Sangui. He was transferred to the capital and appointed governor of Sichuan, and followed Ma Ke to lead the army south.

Speaking of which, Li Yutian was also a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty. After surrendering to Li Zicheng, not only was he not promoted, but he was sent on an expedition to Sichuan.

Moreover, the status of the civil servants in Dashun was very low, and during the war, the military commanders had the final say in the territory they governed.

Just like today, although Ma Ke was also a general who was demoted to the Ming Dynasty, he became Dashun's top leader in Sichuan after leading troops into Sichuan.

Li Yutian, the nominal governor of Sichuan, could only help with food preparation and logistics.

Before arriving in Langzhong, Hao Guangming, Zhu Yasuo, Li Yan, and the Red Lady discussed matters related to Li Yutian and Ma Ke many times.

Speaking of which, these two people surrendered to the Qing Dynasty first and then to the Qing Dynasty, and there is no record of rebelling against the Qing Dynasty in history.

It can be said with certainty that these two people have no backbone, they are very good at judging the situation, and they like to rely on the strong.

And Li Yutian, like Ma Ke, also has certain abilities.

Therefore, Zhu Yuluo and others had the same idea of ​​dealing with Li Yutian as they did with Ma Ke: if they could not be used, they would kill him.

···

"Your Majesty, Li Yutian, has met Li Ge's Ministry and General Red."

After meeting Li Yan and the red lady outside the city, Li Yutian seemed to be neither humble nor overbearing in his greetings, but in fact his attitude was humble.

When he raised his eyes to look at Li Yan, there was a complicated look in his eyes, with both envy and pity.

Speaking of which, he was not too old when he became the censor of Youdu in the Ming Dynasty, less than fifty years old.

But in the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, senior officials in the court were relatively young.

But compared with Li Yan, he is nothing.

Li Yan was only in his early thirties, and because of his meritorious service, he became the "secondary assistant" of Dashun in the cabinet.

In Li Yutian's opinion, either Li Yan was not as good as Niu Jinxing in terms of political struggle, or he was Dashun's chief assistant.

Looking at the current situation, it is clear that Li Yan failed badly in the battle with Niu Jinxing. At this time when Dashun was in power, he was actually kicked out of the court and went on an expedition to Sichuan like a surrendered minister.

I am afraid that I have lost my divine grace.

However, no matter how Li Yan lost his favor, he was still an "old man" who had followed Li Zicheng for several years. He was the top two among the four major military advisors of the Chuang Army and was still much stronger than him.

Therefore, when he heard that Li Yan and the Red Lady were leading troops to support Ma Ke in his attack on Sichuan, he put down everything in his hands and rushed out to greet her.

I just hope that I can leave a good impression on this young "Da Shun Ci Fu" and be able to say a few kind words in front of Li Zicheng in the future.

Li Yan has already developed good acting skills by breaking away from the Chuang army and leaving Beijing, and begging for food and grass from Dashun officials, gentry and local tyrants in various places as a Chuang army along the way.

He returned the greeting to Li Yutian with a smile and said: "Li Futai doesn't need to be polite... How is the battle ahead?"

Li Yutian said: "General Ma defeated Yanting a few days ago and is now leading his troops to besiege Zhiyi County in Tongchuan Prefecture.

Chen Junchong, the governor of Tongchuan, was quite capable. He had made many preparations in advance and was unable to attack General Ma repeatedly.

I heard that General Ma was going to persuade Chen Junchong to surrender - our Dashun army was so powerful that if Chen Junchong was a man who knew current affairs, he would probably surrender through the steps.

As soon as Tongchuan is reached, Li Ge's troops can lead General Hong and General Ma directly to Chengdu.

If you capture Chengdu and stop Zhang Xianzhong, you will be able to capture at least half of Sichuan for me. This is a great achievement."

Li Yutian's words were to explain to Li Yan what the Dashun Army could do in Sichuan by describing the situation on the front line.

He was giving advice to Li Yan.

Obviously, although he thought that Li Yan had lost power in the struggle in Dashun court, he still wanted to hug Li Yan's thigh.

It's not that he doesn't want to hug Niu Venus, it's just that it's too far away to reach.

Hearing this, Li Yan and the red lady looked at each other and both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Ma Ke hasn't captured Qixian yet, what they have to do later will be easier.

Looking at Li Yutian, Li Yan said with a smile: "If we can really capture half of Sichuan this time, Li Futai's contribution will also be indispensable."

Li Yutian thought that this was Li Yan's promise that he would speak kindly to him in the future. He immediately smiled and rolled his eyes, but said in a habitual and humble manner: "I am just a low-ranking official and I have done some things within my scope."

He then added: "By the way, I have prepared a small amount of wine in the city, and I have also invited Li Ge and the Red General to come to the banquet."

He said and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Yan waved his hand, "Put aside those who want to drink. Have you prepared the food and grass for ten thousand people?"

"It's ready. I'll send someone over as soon as the Red General's headquarters sets up camp."

Li Yan nodded, but said: "The red lady still has to arrange things in the camp, so let me attend the banquet alone."

Li Yutian only knew that Li Yan didn't like the matchmaker to socialize with men, but he didn't know that Li Yan and the matchmaker wanted to guard against him.

Just like when entering Tongguan, even if there is an ambush in the city, it can only trap Li Yan. The red lady can lead troops to rescue at any time if she stays outside.

Later, Li Yan followed Li Yutian into the city with more than a hundred soldiers, while the Red Lady commanded his men to set up camp.

When the soldiers were camping, Zhu Aelao saw the red lady looking at Langzhong city from time to time, and knew that she was worried about Li Yan's comfort.

After all, it is now mid-June. According to time, Li Zicheng will give up Shanxi and retreat to Shaanxi.

At this time, Tian Jianxiu and Li Zicheng in Xi'an must have had more exchanges, and they might have learned about the matchmaker's tribe passing through Tongguan.

If Tian Jianxiu sent a horse to report the news, it would be possible to inform Ma Ke of the matter one step ahead of them.

Hao Guangming also saw the red lady's worry through the mobile phone camera, so he said something to Zhu Aona.

Later, Zhu Ainao said to the Red Lady: "The Red Lady is worried about Mr. Li's safety?"

Lady Hong said duplicitously: "I'm not worried about him. I'm thinking about how to fight and defend Langzhong County."

Zhu Aao smiled when she heard this, but did not expose the red lady's thoughts, but said: "The consort once told me about something called a walkie-talkie. As long as you and Mr. Li each get one, even if they are several miles or even dozens of miles apart, you will be able to hear the news."

They can also talk to each other and exchange messages.”

The red lady's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she asked: "Is there really such a good thing? I occasionally see the princess talking to people, could it be that she uses this thing to talk to the prince-in-law?"

Zhu Aona smiled and said: "I use a mobile phone to talk to the consort, but mobile phones cannot be used here in Ming Dynasty, but walkie-talkies can.

The Prince Consort has already ordered a batch of walkie-talkies there, and they should be arriving soon.

When I bring it here, not only can you and Mr. Li talk through the air, but you can also use this thing to command your generals to fight separately."

"It's really a good thing!" The red lady's eyes brightened up when she heard this, as if they were glowing. "If I can give one to all the scouts, I will know immediately when they detect the enemy's situation!"

Zhu Aelao was also very happy.

She had previously suggested that Hao Guangming buy some mobile phones so that she could communicate with important subordinates such as Li Yan and Hong Niangzi.

Later, after Hao Guangming explained, she learned that mobile phone calls required some infrastructure, and such facilities were simply not built in the Ming Dynasty.

Now that she knew that there was a good thing like a walkie-talkie that could be used immediately in Ming Dynasty even though its communication range was limited, she was naturally very happy.

This means that the army following her will become more effective, and it will be easier for her to communicate with her subordinates in the future. The hope of defeating the Qing army and rebuilding the Ming Dynasty will be greater.

Afterwards, Zhu Aelao directed Zhang Sheng and four other palace guards to help Fei Zhen'e set up her tent.

Mainly to house several kinds of food seedlings and aquatic iris that she cultivated along the way.
