After hearing Niu Jinxing's words, Li Zicheng's face froze slightly, and his eyes were slightly gloomy.
He asked towards Niu Jinxing in front of him.
“Wu Sangui agreed??”
Hearing Li Zicheng's words, Niu Jinxing hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said: "Our news has not come, but I heard that when Hong Chengchou left the city, he didn't take out the things he originally brought with him, and left everything behind.
It was at Wu Sangui’s residence, so we don’t know yet, but whether Wu Sangui agreed.
But according to my speculation, at least for now, Wu Sangui has not agreed! What happens later is not clear!"
"How to say?"
Li Zicheng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Niu Jinxing in front of him.
"Because all their people have come out, if Wu Sangui has already agreed, at least some people will be left as contacts. But if they all come out now, it proves that Wu Sangui at least did not agree in person, but it seems that he did not directly refute it!
"
"So, it seems that Prince Zhu Ming's words can no longer be believed! It seems that Ming Dynasty has lost control of Wu Sangui?"
Li Zicheng pondered for a moment, looked at Niu Jinxing in front of him and said.
"For now, that's it!"
Niu Jinxing looked at Li Zicheng in front of him with a wry smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, we have to make plans early. If the Qing army enters the pass, we will definitely bear the brunt! And the capital will be directly exposed to the iron hoof of the Qing army!
If we cannot stop the Qing army, we must withdraw!"
"Exit..."
Li Zicheng had a look of reluctance on his face. He had lived in the Forbidden City for a long time, and he always felt that this place was truly suitable for him.
For Li Zicheng, the prince's palace in Taiyuan Mansion was already a bit disdainful to him!
"No matter what! Let Liu Zongmin keep an eye on Shanhaiguan, and have people lead troops to observe there. Once there is any change in Shanhaiguan, we must occupy it as soon as possible.
If there is a chance, lead the army and attack!!"
Li Zicheng looked at Niu Jinxing in front of him and said.
"Send people to continue to go to Prince Zhu Ming to put pressure on Prince Zhu Ming and see if Wu Sangui still has room for change. Of course we are now under huge pressure from the Qing army.
But we are not the ones who are most afraid of the Qing army entering the customs! If Shanhaiguan falls into the hands of the Qing army, Prince Zhu Ming will never have a good time!"
Li Zicheng calmly said to Niu Jinxing in front of him.
At this time, he finally showed the courage and wisdom that a hero should have.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Niu Jinxing nodded.
Li Zicheng's envoy soon arrived at Zhu Cixiang's stay in Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong.
"Okay, I understand this matter. I will put pressure on Wu Sangui and reassure Li Zicheng! I am not a person who does not keep promises!"
Zhu Cixiang said to the envoy in front of him.
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty has said this, we, King Chuang, can rest assured!"
"Come here, please let this noble envoy go down and rest!"
"No, I still need to go and restore King Chuang, so I'm leaving first!"
"Please!"
Looking at the envoy's back, Zhu Cixiang's brows wrinkled slightly, and a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
"What is your Highness thinking?"
Wu Yan walked out from behind the screen and looked at Zhu Cixiang, who was frowning and thinking, and asked.
"Thinking about Wu Sangui?"
Wu Zong looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him with a smile on his face.
Zhu Cixiang looked at the smile on Wu Zong's face and was stunned for a moment. He pondered for a moment, looked at Wu Zong in front of him and asked curiously: "Sir, it seems that you have some clever ideas? Can you tell me about it?"
"Actually, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about the Manchus entering the country!"
Wu Yan said calmly to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
"The current situation is already chaotic enough. The power of the imperial court is retreating again and again. This is actually a good thing for the imperial court, but the prerequisite is that the water is muddy enough!"
Wu Yan smiled slightly and looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"At present, Li Zicheng's power dominates the entire north, which is not a good thing for His Highness the Crown Prince. If the Qing army is introduced, it will muddy the whole water! This is very important for His Highness the Crown Prince!
"
"What if the Qing army went all the way south??"
Zhu Cixiang frowned, looking at Wu Zong in front of him with hesitation in his eyes.
"Hahaha."
Wu Yan smiled and said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him: "How can the Qing army keep going south? If they go south, then Li Zicheng might just sit back and watch the Qing army's retreat?"
The three parties are anxious here. How could the Qing army come all the way towards us?
There is a high probability that the three of us will confront each other on the land in the north, and engage in a long-term tug of war with the capital as the center! This is the final situation that is likely to form!"
Wu Yan smiled, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said.
Looking at the smile on Wu Zong's face in front of him, Zhu Cixiang suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart. There were some things that he didn't know how to tell Wu Zong.
Because in the original history, after the Manchus entered the customs, Li Zicheng did retreat to Shanxi, Shaanxi, and then died.
He died at the hands of a group of farmers. It was a big mistake that he died at the hands of a group of ignorant people when he went to visit a temple.
The originally large Dashun peasant uprising army fell apart.
Then in the south of the Yangtze River, the warlord of Zuozhen, which was originally the largest military town, died on the way to send troops because he was not satisfied with Fu Fan's accession to the throne and wanted to side with the Qing Dynasty. Zuozhen also fell apart.
The result was that the Qing troops who entered the Pass marched directly to the south of the Yangtze River without any obstacles. The small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, which originally seemed to be very powerful, was destroyed in a short period of time!
It can even be said that without the full-scale fighting of Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son Li Dingguo, the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty might have been destroyed much faster.
This period of history was so dramatic that Zhu Cihong didn't know how to tell Wu Zong.
"His Royal Highness seems to have something to say?"
Wu Di hesitated and asked curiously towards Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"If! I said if!"
Zhu Cixi hesitated slightly.
He looked at Wu Yan in front of him seriously and asked: "If Li Zicheng dies suddenly and all the intruders in the north fall apart, how will the situation change?"
"This is impossible!"
There was a trace of astonishment in Wu Yan's eyes. Looking at Zhu Cihong in front of him, he didn't quite understand why His Highness the Crown Prince would suddenly make such a seemingly bizarre assumption.
Li Zicheng died?? How? Who can kill him with hundreds of thousands of troops??
