"So, this matter is a good thing for us, no matter from which perspective we look at it!"
Niu Jinxing said to Li Zicheng with a smile in his eyes.
Li Zicheng was a little emotional.
"I hope Gu Junen can reach an agreement on cooperation with the Ming Dynasty Prince!"
"Whether Gu Junen can talk it over clearly depends on whether our side can withstand Hong Chengchou's attack!"
Niu Jinxing looked at Li Zicheng in front of him with a wry smile in his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, the Ming Prince is not easy to mess with. He is very smart. If we can delay the Qing army, maybe the Ming Prince will choose to cooperate with us.
, but if we can’t hold it back..."
Niu Jinxing did not continue, but the helplessness on his face still betrayed his thoughts.
"Of course I know that!"
Li Zicheng said with emotion in his eyes: "If we can't stop the Qing army's attack, it would be great if the Ming prince didn't come and add insult to injury! How could he come to help us! It's impossible!"
After speaking, Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and said to Niu Jinxing in front of him: "Let Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang! We must withstand Hong Chengchou's attack! Although the Qing army is powerful, after all, they have no advantage over us in terms of numbers!
As long as we can block the Qing army's attack, the next thing will be much easier to handle!
Let them do whatever it takes! We must win once!"
Li Zicheng said to Niu Jinxing with a serious face.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Niu Jinxing nodded.
Then he retreated hastily.
The land of Guanzhong is raging with war.
Although Li Zicheng was defeated, many of his soldiers were still fighting with the Qing army on the front line. Basically, most of the generals who invaded were on the front line.
The war rages on.
Of course, more of the bandit troops were on the run, with Manchu troops behind them.
On the battlefield, Liu Zongmin had just repelled an attack by a Qing army.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief and let the soldiers next to him start cleaning up the battlefield, they quickly received instructions from King Chuang!
Win the battle at all costs!
"Did King Chuang really say that??"
Liu Zongmin pondered for a moment, then looked at a messenger in front of him and asked.
"Yes! General Liu!"
The messenger quickly said to Liu Zongmin in front of him.
At this time Liu Zongmin nodded.
"Notice down and gather your troops!"
Liu Zongmin spoke to the surrounding messengers.
A dozen messengers quickly began to disperse in all directions.
In order to avoid Hong Chengchou's pursuit, he had dispersed his soldiers and horses into dozens of battalions. Now that he was going to fight, he naturally had to gather those soldiers and horses.
Liu Zongmin understood Chuang Wang very well, and he was forced to panic!
Hong Chengchou and the Manchu Qing Dynasty obviously want to kill all the invaders. Instead of spreading out and waiting to be killed by them one by one, they might as well fight hard and win the battle!
Otherwise, running away like this and waiting for Chuangjun's fate will definitely not be good!
Thinking of this, a trace of worry flashed in Liu Zongmin's eyes.
On the other side, Liu Fangliang was also gathering his soldiers. When the intruders fled, they all fled in an organized manner.
After all, he already had experience when he was chased by the army before, so the difficulty of regrouping the scattered troops is naturally not too high.
Just when the intruder summoned the soldiers.
Shandong, Qingzhou Prefecture.
"The intruder still wants to cooperate with Daming?"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Gu Junen in front of him with a sneer in his eyes.
"Why do you need to say this, Your Highness?"
Gu Junen's expression did not change at all, and he looked calmly at Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"His Highness sent troops to the north just to cooperate with King Chuang and deal with the Manchus, right? The Manchus are a foreign race, not our own race, so their hearts must be different. Moreover, currently, the Manchus themselves are extremely powerful.
Presumably His Highness the Crown Prince must have known very clearly about our battle at Shanhaiguan. Although His Highness the Crown Prince's troops won a small victory, I am afraid it cannot change the overall situation in the north!"
Gu Junen's face was calm, and he stared at Zhu Cihong in front of him, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Be bold!"
Eunuch Li on the side drank towards Gu Junen in front of him.
"How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the prince!"
Eunuch Li glared angrily at Gu Junen in front of him.
Gu Junen looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him without fear.
Zhu Cixiang looked at Gu Junen in front of him with a calm expression.
"So what? I sit in Shandong and watch you fighting dogs with the Manchus. When you are almost exhausted, I will come out to clean up the mess. Wouldn't it be more in line with our strategic needs?"
"Then if our army is defeated quickly, we will definitely flee into the south. We will certainly be consumed in the south by then, but what will be destroyed is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. By then, the entire north will be occupied by the Manchus, and you will not feel comfortable either.
Bundle!"
Gu Junen took a deep look at Zhu Cihong in front of him.
Zhu Cixiang's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You threaten me?"
"Don't dare!"
Gu Junen smiled slightly and said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him: "What I'm saying is just something about the situation. If His Highness doesn't agree, just pretend I didn't say it!"
"snort!"
Zhu Cixiang snorted coldly, looking at Gu Junen in front of him, his evaluation of this person went up to a new level.
You can see the problem so clearly, what a talent!
"In any case, the intruders should first escape the Manchu and Qing siege! If they can't even withstand the first wave of Manchu attacks, how about cooperation? It's just a joke!"
Zhu Cixiang said to Gu Junen in front of him with a smile on his face.
"You'll see!"
Gu Junen was still neither humble nor arrogant, and said to Zhu Cixiang with a calm expression.
"see a visitor out!"
Zhu Cixiang said to an eunuch next to him.
Soon, Gu Junen and several of the intruders' envoys were sent down to rest.
Zhu Cixiang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gu Junen's back in front of him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"What is your highness thinking?"
At this time, Wu Yan came out from behind the screen with a smile on his face and asked Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"I'm thinking, there are really many talented people in this bandit! No wonder the bandit can grow to the point where it is now! Gu Junen in front of me, I'm afraid he can't even send one of the top five people in the camp, but the overall situation is like this
good!"
Zhu Cixiang said with some emotion to Wu Yan in front of him.
Wu Yan smiled slightly and said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him: "A good bird chooses a tree to roost. Now, doesn't His Highness the Prince also recruit two talents to break into the camp? Li Yan and Song Xiance, their own structure is probably worse than this one
Gu Junen is much better!"
Zhu Cixi smiled and shook his head.
"What does Mr. Wu Ge think?"
“Just wait and see what happens!”
Wu Yan's face was slightly serious. He looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him and said: "Right now, the situation is not clear yet. We can only consolidate our territory temporarily and watch the outcome of the battle between the Manchus and the intruders! Then we will make a judgment!"
