Zhao Lijiao followed with a sigh of relief and said: "It's still an adult who is thoughtful and constrained by Dongjiang Town. Jiankui definitely dare not come out. One or two thousand people is the limit, and we don't need to pay attention. in."
Cao Wenzhao and others also nodded secretly. They had to say that Zhou Zheng's arrangement in Liaodong over the years was considered safe and completely restrained Jianlu, otherwise, their trouble would not be a little bit.
Seeing everyone's expressions relaxed, Zhou Zheng smiled, and said: "You continue to discuss, I will go to see Fan Wenchen and see what else they can do."
Everyone didn't care anymore, so naturally they didn't say much. Their current enemy is Li Zicheng, and they discussed seriously again.
Zhou Zheng left the chamber and went to the side hall to see Fan Wenchen.
Fan Wenchen has been detained by Zhou Zheng for a long time, and he has lived carefree and has gained a lot of weight.
Standing in front of Zhou Zheng, he smiled and raised his hand and said, "Congratulations, Lord Zhou, now he is Daming's first official."
Zhou Zheng looked at him and said with a smile: "Jianlu has never been in my eyes. You little tricks can't deceive me. Let's talk about business."
Fan Wenchen's smile slowly diminished, his expression calmed, and he began to think seriously, even if he had thought about it before, facing Zhou Zheng, he still had to organize his language again.
Everyone is smart, and those silly tricks are just jokes, they are useless and unnecessary.
Fan Wenchen pondered for a while, and said: "Master Zhou, now you and Li Zicheng's success or failure is five to five. Whoever we stand on will win, and whoever is the master of the Central Plains, I believe Master Zhou understands the importance."
Zhou Zheng took the tea cup beside him and said lightly: "You should know that you are of no use to me. I just want to kill you at a critical moment and get a little pitiful benefit. If you talk about these nonsense, I will take you to sacrifice the flag. Oath teacher."
Fan Wenchen frowned, Zhou Zheng was stronger than he expected, and silently said: "It is true that the number of troops sent by your Majesty is 20,000, but 20,000 people are not a small amount of pressure for Master Zhou. Liaodong’s containment, Lord Zhou and Li Zicheng, the victory or defeat is still unknown."
Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "Li Zicheng has never been in my eyes. He will calm him down. It will not be five months at most, even if you are added. If Huang Taiji’s 20,000 people are lost in the customs, Huang Taiji will consider whether it should be I surrendered."
Fan Wenchen has been staring at Zhou Zheng’s face, analyzing his true inner thoughts, and then said for a moment: “Master Zhou seems to be overconfident. adventure."
Zhou Zheng would naturally not despise Huang Taiji, but even with this variable, Zhou Zheng could still deal with it. He was curious about what kind of wishful thinking Huang Taiji had played, and said calmly, "What do you want?"
Fan Wenchen's eyes gleamed slightly and said: "We help the adults to achieve the great cause, and hope that the adults will give us Liaodong. The two countries are bounded by Shanhaiguan, and will forever form an alliance of brothers. There will be no more wars."
Zhou Zheng sneered and said, "We sent out 20,000 people and wanted so many benefits. Is Huang Taiji drunk too much?"
Fan Wenchen listened with a smile on his face, and said, "What do you think, your lord?"
Zhou Zheng had no intention of negotiating with Huang Taiji at all. Looking at Fan Wenchen, his heart moved slightly and said, "You guys should also be negotiating with Li Zicheng. What price does he offer?"
Fan Wenchen didn't panic, and smiled and said: "We are indeed talking with Li Zicheng, and there is no result yet. We believe that the price of Lord Zhou will be higher than that of Li Zicheng."
Zhou Zheng leaned on the chair with his chin in his right hand, his thoughts flew, and he said as usual: "If I were you, I should choose Li Zicheng, unless Li Zicheng ignores you at all. So, I am your only choice. ."
Fan Wenchen's expression moved, and he sighed softly, "Master Zhou is really wise. To tell you, we contacted Li Zicheng very early, but he totally rejected us. Moreover, he can't give us what we want. Master Zhou. Even if we don’t cooperate with either of you, whoever is on our side will win. I really prefer Li Zicheng. If he wins, we can get Liaodong effortlessly."
Zhou Zheng smiled, looked at him, and said, "Say something that makes me happy, otherwise, I will send your head back to Huang Taiji."
Fan Wenchen looked at Zhou Zheng’s expression and knew that this was not a joke. His life and death was at this moment. He pondered for a while. He said: "You Ming Dynasty surrendered Li Zicheng’s forces, including Wu Sangui, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, etc., over 30,000. In addition, Li Zicheng transferred from various places. The total strength is more than 100,000, and they are all elite divisions. I know that Lord Zhou has a strength of about 100,000 in the three places in Liaodong, and he has to guard against us, so Jinzhou and Dongjiang towns cannot At least sixty thousand are to be restrained. In addition, you have to guard against our twenty thousand, or at least 40,000. Your strength is almost controlled by us. Even if you are temporarily conscripted, you can handle Li Zicheng's 100,000 elite army? If the other way around Lord Zhou is a sure-win situation! Daming has thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, endless prosperity, all within the thought of Lord Zhou. Emperor Chongzhen is dead, regardless of whether it is Wang Mang or Zhou Duke, everything will come and go without hindrance."
Fan Wenchen's words boiled down to'coercion, profit and temptation'. There is no need to say anything about defeat, death will disappear, and the stinking will be thousands of years. If it wins, then the world is in hand, and the entire Ming is in the hands of Zhou Zheng. It is no problem to usurp the throne and claim the emperor!
This ** is undoubtedly huge, since ancient times, almost no one can resist!
Zhou Zheng’s expression has not changed, he smiled, and said, “I’m not satisfied with what you said. Ten thousand horses are bounded by three hundred miles north of the Great Wall. If he surpasses, a hundred thousand troops will expedition to the north!"
A group of guards immediately responded loudly, rushed in, backhanded Fan Wenchen, and was about to drag him out.
Fan Wenchen knew that Zhou was really moving, with a solemn expression, and said in a solemn voice: "Master Zhou, you have to think clearly, you are losing more and losing less now. If you are the enemy of us, you are sure to lose!"
Zhou Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to him, watching the soldiers dragged out, and continued to return to the chamber to discuss military affairs with a group of generals.
Intelligence from various places is gathering, and Zhou Zheng's army is also increasing, and training is stepping up to stationed in various designated locations.
"My lord, Shandong has so far enlisted 50,000 yuan!"
"Tianjin 30,000 soldiers and horses have been cleaned up!"
"Yang Guozhu's army has arrived at Shanhaiguan, and 20,000 people are taking a rest!"
"My lord, from the current point of view, Li Zicheng should go directly to Beijing and go straight to Yongping Mansion. The battlefield should be in Yongping Mansion."
"According to the usual practice, they will be divided into three groups. The specifics have not been found out yet. The Military Intelligence Department is fully infiltrating."
"Zhou Fucheng, Lord Kou, Lord Ma, and Zhou Shoufu are all hidden by us, and they are still safe..." (End of this chapter)
