Song Xiance had a look of helplessness in his eyes as he looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said: "Of course Shanhaiguan in the past would help the Ming Dynasty stop the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
What about now? Now we are in Dashun, and Shanhaiguan is still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. It is in the hands of Wu Sangui. Your Majesty, do you think it is possible for Wu Sangui to defect to the Manchus? Or just abandon Shanhaiguan and leave??"
Looking at the helpless Song Xiance in front of him, Li Zicheng finally calmed down.
He pondered for a moment, looked at Song Xiance in front of him and said: "Military advisor, haven't we already sent people to talk to Wu Sangui? See if he can surrender to us. We can definitely make him the King of Liaodong. Maybe...
…”
"Does your Majesty think Wu Sangui will be willing to accept our reward?"
Song Xiance had a look of helplessness on his face and looked at Li Zicheng in front of him.
There was a hint of hesitation in Li Zicheng's eyes.
"Then fight!"
Li Zicheng said fiercely to Song Xiance in front of him.
"As long as Shanhaiguan is knocked down and replaced with our people, the Manchus and Qing Dynasties will still be unable to enter the customs!"
After hearing Li Zicheng's words, Song Xiance's expression became even more helpless.
"Your Majesty, do you think Shanhaiguan can be captured so easily? Moreover, as long as our troops are directed at Shanhaiguan, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will definitely receive the news.
When the time comes, troops will definitely be sent out. When Wu Sangui is attacked from two sides, who does the king think he will fall to?"
After listening to Song Xiance's words, Li Zicheng was silent for a long time.
"If Li Zicheng turns to the Manchus, can we resist the Qing troops entering the pass? Or will it be the tens of thousands of Guan Ning cavalry in Wu Sangui's hands?"
There was a hint of hesitation in Li Zicheng's eyes.
"Then what should we do??"
"talk!"
Song Xiance said firmly to Li Zicheng in front of him.
He looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said: "Although we have entered Beijing now, we are still very passive. After all, if Wu Sangui defected to the Manchus, our situation would be very dangerous! Under attack from both sides..."
Song Xiance did not continue, but Li Zicheng's face became very ugly.
He found that what Song Xiance said was not wrong at all.
No one can guarantee that the Manchu Qing Dynasty will really not cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. If they cooperate...
"Okay, then how should we talk? Who should we talk to?"
Li Zicheng finally calmed down, looked at Song Xiance in front of him with a serious face and asked.
"Talk to Prince Ming!"
Song Xiance pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said.
"Today Shanhaiguan is still in the hands of the Ming Prince, and Wu Sangui will definitely listen to him. As long as the Owens convince the Ming Prince, Shanhaiguan will still block the Manchus from entering the customs!"
"Then what conditions do we have to pay?"
Li Zicheng nodded and looked at Song Xiance in front of him.
"First of all, we promise not to proclaim ourselves emperor for the time being!"
Song Xiance smiled, looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said.
Hearing Song Xiance's words, Li Zicheng showed hesitation on his face. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Song Xiance in front of him and said: "Military advisor, I don't think he will be emperor... I think it's a bit..."
"If he proclaims himself emperor, we can't talk to the Ming Prince, because that would be a fight to the death!"
Song Xiance looked at Li Zicheng in front of him, and his evaluation in his heart was a little lower.
Even though he had explained the pros and cons so clearly, Li Zicheng still only knew that proclaiming himself emperor could bring some things in name only, but in reality, there was no way to gain any benefits quickly.
For a name...
Thinking of this, Song Xiance looked at Li Zicheng with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
But Song Xiance's expression didn't change much.
Niu Jinxing on the side did not speak. He completely heard what Song Xiance said. Although he still looked disdainful, he still recognized Song Xiance's words, which were indeed reasonable.
After his expression changed for a while, Li Zicheng looked at Song Xiance in front of him and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I will not proclaim myself emperor for the time being! Apart from that, are there any other conditions?"
"Also, we promise not to attack Shanhaiguan again, and we will not attack Shandong area within one year!"
"Within a year??"
Hearing Song Xiance's words, Li Zicheng couldn't help but said to Song Xiance in front of him: "Military advisor, aren't you feeding a tiger into danger by doing this? There is no need for this!"
"Yes! This one is absolutely not allowed!"
Niu Jinxing on the side also spoke at this time. He looked at Song Xiance in front of him and said with a gloomy face: "Shandong is rich in real estate and it is a place we must take! Unless the crown prince is willing to use the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River as a line to draw a river with us.
And cure it!"
"good!"
Li Zicheng also nodded, looked at Song Xiance in front of him and said.
Hearing Li Zicheng's words, Song Xiance showed a look of helplessness on his face, looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said: "My lord, do you think that if the Ming Emperor heard these words from you, would he be willing? Would those ministers be willing?
"
Li Zicheng's expression froze slightly.
At this time, Song Xiance looked at Li Zicheng and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, this truce period is not only good for them, it is also good for us. It is obvious that we cannot end this war quickly.
The attack on Shandong will be long and protracted for us. How many troops should we send? Is our food inventory still enough? The summer wheat harvest season is about to begin, should we accumulate strength?"
After hearing Song Xiance's words, Li Zicheng nodded.
"Indeed! During this time, we have been constantly fighting, and we should really cultivate for a period of time! Moreover, the Ming Prince is stationed on the Shandong Peninsula. It seems that it is not that simple for us to fight against him."
Li Zicheng nodded in agreement.
"What other conditions are there?"
At this time, Li Zicheng looked at Song Xiance in front of him and asked.
"That's all for now! When we meet Prince Ming, we can adapt accordingly!"
Song Xiance looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said.
“Who does the military advisor think is the most suitable person to send the Ming Dynasty’s crown prince as envoy??”
Li Zicheng pondered for a moment, looked at Song Xiance in front of him and asked.
"Weichen thinks that since I brought this matter up, it's better for Weichen to go take a look!"
"good!"
Seeing that Song Xiance offered to go as an envoy to the crown prince, Li Zicheng suddenly smiled on his face.
"Military Advisor Gao Yi! Then I will appoint the Military Advisor as Dashun Envoy and be responsible for sending envoys to the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince! We will discuss all matters!"
Li Zicheng said to Song Xiance in front of him.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
After finishing speaking, Song Xiance saluted Li Zicheng in front of him.
Niu Jinxing on the side looked at Song Xiance in front of him, his face changed for a while, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes...
