Although the great monk in front of him seems to be quite rude, he has never put himself, the dignified founding emperor of the Dashun Dynasty, in his eyes? Probably, this monk is probably relying on him. He came from the Northeast Army of Ice and Snow City? Is there someone supporting him from behind? Just standing in front of him like this, looking confident and fearless? But now, I really don¡¯t have the confidence to confront the other party? Especially when I heard that my subordinates had mentioned something when they came in to report to me?
It is said that this monk is carrying a letter? That letter was naturally written by the commander of the Northeast Army. I just don¡¯t know what the Northeast Army coach will say in that letter? No matter what he said in the letter anyway? You definitely don't plan to bring the soldiers and horses of Ice and Snow City to come to serve you? But facing the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners military camp under the city of Xi'an, it really made Li Zicheng feel a little scared in his heart? And at this critical moment, the Northeast Army actually sent a messenger? But it actually seems a little weird? But why did this messenger come? Li Zicheng's heart could not help but turn over and over again at this moment. He really wished he could stand up and walk over? Just go and search the courier for the letter? It would be better for me to take a quick look at it first and know the real purpose of this Northeastern Army courier's visit to Xi'an this time.
Looking at the great monk, he was now calm and sat down on the Taishi chair that was brought to him. But he reached out his hand, took a cup of fragrant tea, and gently opened the lid of the tea cup. He slowly raised his head, took a sip of tea, and then put the tea cup into the hand of the waiter standing beside him. He slowly took out a letter from his arms, then stood up and handed the letter in front of Li Zicheng. He spoke to him: "King Chuang, this letter was written by the lord of my city and there is no deception at all? I hope King Chuang will read this letter seriously? Don't make it too hastily. Will it harm things with the Dashun Dynasty?" Just as Master Hanke finished speaking, a servant came over and reached out to take the letter. Fu turned back to Li Zicheng and handed the letter into Li Zicheng's hands.
After Li Zicheng read this letter from beginning to end, he was uncharacteristically not furious? Instead, he just sat in the throne, holding the letter in one hand and became speechless for a moment. Master Hanke and the slovenly old Taoist were sitting and standing one by one. They were also silent and speechless. They just stared at the Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng sitting on the throne to see how he would react?
After Li Zicheng read this letter on the first day of the new year, he wanted to throw this letter into the monk's face? Then, after the monks were pushed out of the gate, they were killed with a knife and the matter was over? Can it make him feel helpless? But it was the alliance of the Eight Banners Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty stationed outside the city of Xi'an. That's not something you can blow down with just one breath?
¡°And what if I don¡¯t agree with the conditions stated in the letter by the Northeast Army coach? Not only do we have to face the three city gates of east, west and south, but also the Eight Banners cavalry outside? There is also the remnant army that has been nailed behind him. Can I say with certainty that the other party is just waiting for a chance? Will he immediately attack the city of Xi'an without any hesitation and capture himself alive and be tortured in Ming Zhengdian?
Li Zicheng thought about it over and over for a long time, but still couldn't decide? Then he gave an order to the next guard: "Go and see if Military Advisor Niu is still in the court room at this moment, handling official business? If so? Just tell him that I have something important to discuss with him? Will he be sent to you?" Invite the king over immediately? You can go now." Li Zicheng said and waved to the guard. After hearing this, the guard hurriedly bowed, turned around and ran out of the hall. However, Li Zicheng turned his head and faced Master Hanke with a smile on his face and said: "Master, this matter cannot be decided at once? Master, please go to the post house for the time being and have a good rest." Rest for the night? The king will tell you tomorrow what the result will be? Come, please invite the master to the post house to entertain him properly?" Following Li Zicheng's instructions, a guard came over. Master Hanke also understood that Li Zicheng was not comparable to Princess Changping. After all, Princess Changping and her own city lord have a private relationship that is unknown to everyone? It is precisely because of this that Princess Changping fought against all opinions and finally forced the civil and military ministers in the court to agree to this strategy proposed by Tang Feng, the commander of the Northeast Army. There was a lot of conflict between Li Zicheng and the coach of the Northeast Army in the past.
Now, even his own coach is really thinking about him? But Li Zicheng would not believe it for a moment. This is also human nature. Master Hanke stood up happily and nodded to Li Zicheng before asking him.He responded and said: "My city lord will naturally not be anxious? After all, this city of Xi'an does not belong to my Ice and Snow City? What should we do? King Chuang must carefully weigh it? There will be no turning back when the bow is fired." "After saying that, he greeted the sloppy old man, and the two of them walked out of the hall door one after another, and followed the guard towards the post house.
At night, the city of Xi'an was as usual, with military academies patrolling from time to time, walking in groups through the streets and alleys. In the post house, the sloppy old Taoist and Master Hanke had already returned to their own houses to do their respective evening classes. As for the four captains of the special forces, they were also arranged to rest in a room respectively. But, are these people afraid of having another conspiracy with Li Zicheng?
They took turns standing guard in front of Master Hanke's door, but no one paid any attention to him in front of the sloppy old master's door. After all, with the sloppy old Taoist's refined martial arts skills, what if someone wants to trouble him in the middle of the night? It's obviously asking for death. At this time, it was late at night, but I saw a figure flying out from the wall of the post house, and like a big bird, it landed silently outside the wall.
Immediately, the figure disappeared into a dark alley. At this moment, in the main hall of Dashun Palace, Li Zicheng, still looking sad, was discussing something with a short, fat man who looked like a philistine scholar. But at this moment, a black shadow floated outside the imperial kitchen in Dashun Palace. He leaned under the window sill and listened quietly for a moment through the window paper?
Then he pushed open the window and lightly jumped into the room. The candlelight in the imperial kitchen flickered endlessly, and a dark shadow reached out and lifted the lids on the bowls one by one. But he took out a small bottle from his arms and poured some powder into the bowls? Then, he turned around and left the imperial kitchen? A quarter of an hour later, several servants walked into the imperial kitchen, picked up the bowls, and headed towards the main hall door.
Li Zicheng was discussing with Niu Jinxing about the letter from the Northeastern Army coach when he suddenly saw a group of servants walking into the hall carrying various bowls in their hands. Then he smiled and said to Niu Jinxing: "Since this matter has been decided, military advisor, you and I don't need to worry too much about this matter anymore? It's better to eat first. After dinner, the military advisor can return to the house." Can you give me an answer in person in the morning tomorrow?" After Li Zicheng finished speaking, he put the letter on the table, took the bowl and chopsticks, and stretched out a pair of chopsticks to fish out the bowl. Moving?
At the same time, in the Eight Banners Alliance outside Xi'an City, a figure quickly flashed between the tents. Didn't he stop until he reached the door of the Chinese military tent? Duduo and his generals had just patrolled the joint camp. As soon as they entered the big tent, they immediately saw a piece of letter placed on the desk? When Duduo saw it, he couldn't help being surprised?
He hurriedly ordered his men to blow the emergency horn within the joint camp. Order your military academies to start searching the entire battalion for the unknown person who broke into the Chinese army's tent without permission? After giving instructions to the military academy under his command, he took the letter off the desk. Take a closer look at it for a while? But he couldn't help but nodded, and then, he shouted to a general who walked into his tent: "Immediately pass Benbeile's military order? The order and the gunners of the entire army will immediately move the artillery carriages." Push it down to the south corner of the city with me? Let it aim all the artillery at the protruding corner of the wall, regardless of the loss of the shells? When will the corner of the wall be completely collapsed by me, and when will you give up? ? Let the entire army prepare to march into Xi'an City? By the way, order all the archers to secretly hide behind the artillery in case the opponent comes out of the city again?" After Duduo gave the order, he immediately put on his armor He took off his armor and walked out of the Chinese army's tent with his personal guards. However, throughout the camp, dapples of fire could be seen everywhere, as well as figures swaying back and forth.
"With the sounds of people shouting and horses neighing, the entire Eight Banners camp was as lively as a pot boiling. The common people in Xi'an City were all immersed in sleep, and the military academies patrolling the streets and alleys also returned to their military camps to rest. Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing had already finished their dinner, and Niu Jinxing returned to his military advisor's residence full of hesitation and fear.
Today, the city of Xi'an is silent, and the moon in the sky has long been hidden behind a cloud. Not far from Xi'an City? However, several fire dragons were meandering and rushing toward the bottom of Xi'an City. Waves of muffled sound of horse hooves reached the top of the city. But now, on the top of the city of Xi'an, the Dashun Military Academy who were keeping watch at night had already gathered in groups of three and five around the piles of bonfires, chatting with each other, and no one paid attention to the city. Go take a look below.
