Chapter 388

In October, a fierce decisive battle broke out in Fuping, Guanzhong.

Li Zicheng led more than [-] troops, together with Wu Sangui and Azige's [-] Qing troops, gathered in Fuping County.

At the beginning of the war, Li Zicheng relied on the grain and firearms he bought from Gao Yihuan to defend himself, intending to consume the Qing army.

After Wu Sangui failed several hard attacks, he immediately changed his strategy of defeating the enemy head-on, and chose to go around on fine cavalry, forcing Li Zicheng to fight.

On October [-]th, Azig dispatched [-] Manchurian elite riders to bypass the camp of the Shun army, and made a gesture of intending to attack Chang'an.

After the fall of Yan'an, [-] Qing troops rushed down the plateau with thousands of ravines and entered the Weihe Plain, and the advantage of the Ma army was revealed.

Li Zicheng had to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army. Fuping, who had a decisive battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties, was once again littered with corpses. More than [-] Shun troops lost more than [-] people. Li Zicheng returned to the south bank of the Weihe River in defeat.

The soldiers of the Shun army who escaped across the river from Fuping rebuilt simple camps along the Weihe River.

Countless soldiers of the Shun Army spread all over the banks of the Wei River, walking in the camp sitting or lying down. They had long since lost their pride when they marched out of the East and occupied Beijing. The tens of thousands of troops were lifeless.

In the camp, there were wounded soldiers all over the ground. Many soldiers had bandages on their heads, weapons in their arms, and sat against the fence and carts placed randomly. , has spent the last bit of energy of Shun Jun.

The camp of tens of thousands of people was surprisingly quiet. No one wanted to talk, and no one wanted to think about the fiasco in Fuping and where the way out for the Shun Army was.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Zicheng was wearing a golden armor with blood on it. He didn't know where his helmet was lost. His hair was disheveled and he stood in front of a map with a grim expression. Injured, his expression is also in a state of embarrassment.

Everyone stood in the tent with their heads bowed, without making a sound, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive and heavy.

At this time, Niu Jinxing, escorted by several soldiers, rode to the camp of the Shun Army on the bank of the Wei River.

In the camp, wounded soldiers with bandages can be seen everywhere, and there are figures in a state of distress everywhere.

Niu Jinxing entered the camp, looked around and saw the down-and-out soldiers of the Shun Army, his face could not hide his disappointment and worry.

At this time, several soldiers escorted him to Li Zicheng's big tent. The guards immediately opened the curtain to enter the tent. The silence in the tent was suffocating, but the guards still looked at Li Zicheng's lost back and saluted: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Niu has arrived. !"

Li Zicheng turned around, his eyes were red, and he said hoarsely, "Let him in!"

Niu Jinxing walked into the big tent and saw all the generals bowed their heads in silence, and Li Zicheng was sitting behind a handsome desk with a gloomy and terrifying face.

He saw that the entire tent was very quiet, and he could hear the sound of needles falling, and also saw that the Shun army had lost morale from top to bottom, and there was a strong sense of failure in the tent, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

Li Yan came out to assist Li Zicheng with his ideal of helping the world, hoping to end the turmoil in the world and save the people from suffering.

Niu Jinxing took refuge in Li Zicheng and rebelled with Li Zicheng. He also put his own future on Li Zicheng. He naturally didn't want to see Li Zicheng fail.

Although his ideals are not as lofty as Li Yan's, he also wants to assist Li Zicheng to win the world and become the famous founder of the Dashun Dynasty.

Now when he saw the appearance of Li Zicheng and the other generals of the Shun Army, he couldn't help crying in his heart. He felt that he might fall into a pit, his speculation failed, and he followed the wrong lord.

For a moment, Niu Jinxing felt bitter. Could it be that he, the prime minister of Dashun, is about to end?

Although Niu Jinxing didn't do many good things, he did put in a lot of energy and painstaking efforts for Dashun Kingdom, but Niu Jinxing was still a little unwilling to fail like this.

Seeing the atmosphere in the tent, he couldn't help licking his lips, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the army retreats to the south bank, as long as all the ships along the Wei River are burned, the Dongren will not be able to cross the Wei River for a while, and Dashun still has a chance to regroup."

Li Zicheng's eyes were red, but he shook his head, "At most one month, the Weihe River will freeze over. With or without boats, the Qing army will cross the river. Guanzhong cannot be defended!"

"Your Majesty, Gao Yihuan has a strong army and has repeatedly defeated the Eastern captives. Although he surrendered, he sent a letter through General Zhou that as long as His Majesty provides payment, he is willing to go north to contain the Qing army." Niu Jinxing frowned, but continued: "The situation is urgent now. The imperial treasury has enough money. I think it is better to agree to his condition and give him 200 million taels of silver to send troops. In this way, the [-] troops in Tongguan will be free to fight, and we still have the strength to fight!"

All the generals in the tent felt a little commotion after hearing Wei Wei, as if seeing a glimmer of hope, some people began to discuss in a low voice.

Although Gao Yihuan took refuge in the Ming Dynasty, speaking from his conscience, he did not become an enemy of the Shun army, but instead sent a lot of food and firearms to the Shun army.

Shunjun gave them money for these food and firearms, but Gao Yihuan didn't sell them to them, so they couldn't buy anything even if they had money.

To a certain extent, Gao Yihuan not only did not harm them, but gave them a lot of help and support.Tongguan is supported by the firearms provided by Gao Yihuan.

Therefore, many soldiers of the Shun Army did not hate Gao Yihuan like Li Zicheng did, but felt a little bit disappointed in their loyalty to him.

With such a strong team, who defeated the Qing army many times, they actually turned their backs on Dashun. Could it be that Dashun was really exhausted.

After listening to Niu Jinxing's words, Li Zicheng's face was cloudy and uncertain. He is the emperor of Dashun, and Gao Yihuan is just a young man under him.Now asking him to beg Gao Yihuan and accept his blackmail made Li Zicheng unacceptable.

But the current situation is like this, the Qing army is powerful, and the Shun army has lost consecutive battles~~~
Li Zicheng pondered for a long time with a grim face, and all the generals held their breath, waiting for him to make a decision.

Suddenly Li Zicheng stood up in the eyes of everyone, then walked to the map, looked at the map for a while, and finally said in a cold voice: "Okay, Gao Yihuan wants 200 million, and I will give him 250 million."

Li Zicheng turned around, his red eyes became a little cruel, he glanced at everyone, finally stared at Niu Jinxing, gnashed his teeth and said, "Prime Minister, you return to Chang'an immediately, send the silver, and let Gao Yihuan send troops!"

Seeing that Li Zicheng agreed, the soldiers in the tent couldn't help whispering, and their eyes became brighter.

After all, Gao Yihuan defeated the Qing army several times, as long as he joins, the morale of the Shun army can be improved.

Seeing that Li Zicheng agreed, Niu Jinxing was also a little happy, "Your Majesty is wise! If Gao Yihuan sends troops to Luoyang and makes the eastern captives in Henan come back to help, we may be able to organize troops to lure the enemy into the south bank of the Wei River and lay an ambush."

Li Zicheng shook his head, snorted coldly, and waved his hands again and again, "The Qing army is so powerful, why do you want to ambush? What I mean is that when Gao Yihuan's main force goes north, I will give me a passage to march south. I will take advantage of Gao Yihuan When fighting with the Qing army in the north of Henan, we went out of Shangzhou to leave the pass, took advantage of the empty south of Henan, attacked Xiangyang and entered Huguang, left the Qing army behind, and reopened the foundation in the south!"

After successive defeats, Li Zicheng no longer had the courage to continue fighting against the Qing army. The Ming army in the south was easy to bully, so he decided to take refuge.For a while, his rogue attribute of running away if he couldn't beat him defeated his belief in sticking to the pass and guarding the foundation.

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, he looked at the generals with piercing eyes, as if he was waiting for the generals to praise his clever plan, but in the big tent, from Niu Jinxing to many generals, they all looked stunned~
