Chapter 539 Liu Heizi's Crisis
The real purpose of Zhang Xianzhong's negotiations with Ning Wanwo was to get back the Dasan Pass.

Dasanguan was in the hands of the Qing army, and Hanzhong was wide open. He had to take it back, otherwise it would be impossible to fight Gao Yihuan.

Through conversation, Zhang Xianzhong and Ning Wan Woxu and the Snake Committee suggested that it is okay to attack Gao Yihuan, but Wu Sangui had to hand over the Dasan Pass to the Western Army so that the Western Army could attack Gao Yihuan without any worries.

Zhang Xianzhong felt that Ning Wan and I were difficult to deal with, but he was sure that as long as he insisted on this as a condition, the Qing army would most likely make concessions, allowing him to get the big pass without fighting.

In this way, the Western Army can take a certain initiative in strategy. Whether it goes north to take Guanzhong or goes east to attack Jingxiang, it is up to him to choose.

As for Zhang Xianzhong's snubbing of Zhou Ronghua, Ji Guofeng and his party, he also had the same purpose.

Since Gao Yihuan sent people to show his favor and give money and gifts, it showed that he was very afraid of the Western Army attacking him, and Gao Yihuan's worry immediately became Zhang Xianzhong's bargaining chip.

Therefore, he deliberately showed a cold attitude, trying to blackmail some more things from Gao Yihuan.

Gao Yihuan was willing to give money and horses, so he would definitely give other things.

Zhang Xianzhong planned to take everything from both sides, but he didn't want the people Gao Yihuan sent to be so ruthless and cut off the Qing envoy in the street.

Seeing Zhou Ronghua's three puffed up small chests, there was no panic on their faces, but a little pride on their faces. Zhang Xianzhong was angry, but he couldn't laugh or cry.

Ning Wan I died, he can't kill these three people too, looking at the appearance of the three people, Zhang Xianzhong felt furious.

Zhang Xianzhong looked the three of them up and down, although he was angry in his heart, he also had a hint of appreciation.

After all, he can be considered a hero if he dares to make trouble on his territory, and what he admires most is a hero.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you or give you to the Tartars?" Zhang Xianzhong's face was gloomy, and he had already made up his mind. If the three of them couldn't give him an explanation, and it was purely impulsive, then he would never forgive him. them.

Zhou Ronghua and Sun Fangyuan couldn't help panicking, but Ji Guofeng smiled and cupped his hands, "It won't benefit the Western Army at all. After Ning Wan and I were killed, the Qing Army would never let it go. Besides, even if the Qing Army and the Western Army continue to negotiate, when the Qing Army continues to negotiate The court will send envoys again. It will take at least one or two months. The Jiangbei war has come to an end. Is there any need for the Qing army to talk about it? Does the Western army still have bargaining chips? Besides, even if the war is not over, the Qing army will definitely take advantage of this matter To make a fuss, His Majesty failed to protect the envoys of the Qing Dynasty and was always wronged, so there is no way to negotiate any conditions!"

Zhang Xianzhong narrowed his eyes, but Ji Guofeng continued: "Your Majesty's negotiating with the Qing army was a mistake in the first place. Now that the main force of the Qing army is invading Jiangbei from the south, and the Guanzhong army is empty, the Western army should unite with the Ming army, two weak against one strong, and enter Guanzhong , how can we miss the opportunity to negotiate with the Manchus?"

Zhang Xianzhong snorted coldly, "The Qing army invited me to send troops to the east. I took Huguang, and the Qing army took Lianghuai. The Ming court is decaying. Isn't it easier for me to take Huguang than Guanzhong?"

"Your Majesty is very wrong to say that. Although the Ming army is weak, the tall and handsome Wei Wujun has few opponents. Therefore, it is easy for the Qing army to occupy the two Huaihe Rivers, but it is difficult for Your Majesty to take Huguang! Besides, even if the Western army occupies Huguang, then what? Are you facing the Qing army occupying the north and the south of the Yangtze River alone?" Ji Guofeng saluted solemnly, "Your Majesty, you can learn from the past and learn from the future. Back then, when the Shu Han marched eastward, they were defeated in Yiling, and their elites were completely lost, and they lost their dominance. Since ancient times, In the land of Sichuan and Shu, there is no one who conquered the world by conquering the east. According to the land of Sichuan, Shu and Hanzhong, those who went north and entered the customs and became emperors, there is an example of Han Gaozu. Your Majesty should learn from Liu Bang or Liu Bei, please think twice !"

Naturally, Zhang Xianzhong wanted to learn from Liu Bangdi. He looked at Ji Guofeng, his eyes lit up, and he felt uncomfortable. Such a talent is not used by me.

In fact, this is not a special principle, and Zhang Xianzhong doesn't understand it, it's just that he wants to get some benefits from both sides first.

In the current situation, Zhang Xianzhong is actually very clear that even if the Eastern Expedition wins, he will only gain a temporary benefit. He really helped the Qing Dynasty destroy Gao Yihuan and the Ming Dynasty. The next one to perish is Daxi. There is no helper against the Qing Dynasty.

What's more, Dasanguan is still in the hands of Wu Sangui, he went to conquer Gao Yihuan, what should Wu Sangui do if he steals his way?
Zhang Xianzhong stared at the three of them, and suddenly burst out laughing, "He is courageous and knowledgeable, he is a hero, he likes me! But with just a few words, he wants to trick me into sending troops to save the Ming Dynasty, isn't he underestimating me?"

Zhou Ronghua thought that Zhang Xianzhong was really difficult to deal with, but Ji Guofeng didn't change his face, "Your Majesty, this is not just empty words, but an opportunity. Now that the main force of the Qing army is in Jiangbei, the Qing army in Henan must guard against General Gao. Dare to mobilize easily, it is a great opportunity for the Western Army to take Guanzhong. If you miss this opportunity, will the Western Army still have such a good opportunity when the Jiangbei War is over? Besides, the most common route for the Northern Army to destroy the Southern Dynasty is to go first. Going down to Sichuan and Shu, Qin perishing to Chu, Jin perishing to Wu, Yuan perishing to Song are all like this. In Jiangbei War, if the Ming army is defeated, the world will return to the Qing, and the Western army will perish sooner or later. If the Ming army blocks the attack of the Qing army, the Qing army will see nothing. To destroy Nanjing quickly, the next time we will take the route of the Song Dynasty, the Western Army will bear the brunt. Therefore, no matter what the situation is, Your Majesty should seize this opportunity!"

After Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he squinted his eyes and remained silent. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "That's right! Sir, please stay in Nanzheng for a while!".

After listening to Ji Guofeng's words, Zhang Xianzhong has already analyzed that the killing of the Qing envoy in the street should be planned by Ji Guofeng.

~~~~~~
At the beginning of October, Shangqiu and Xuzhou had been besieged for more than a month, but the Qing army attacked many times, but failed to take down the city.

Gaojie Town, Xuzhou, is basically the Shun Army who came here anyway, and later served under Sun Chuanting's command. It is a battle-hardened army that has been active on the battlefield for more than ten years. Its combat strength is not comparable to that of the general Ming army.

Li Chengdong, Li Benshen and others in Xuzhou Town are very capable of fighting.

If it was a battle in the wild, Gao Jie's troops might not be able to contend with the Qing army, but hiding in the city, even a hundred thousand Qing troops would not be able to enter Xuzhou easily.

The situation of Liu Heizi in Shangqiu City is much worse than that of Xuzhou, but after all, there are 3 people and they have fought against the Qing army, so it is not easy for Duoduo to break the city.

The small city of Jiangyin can be guarded for more than [-] days, and the situation of Shangqiu City is better than that of Jiangyin.

However, although Liu Heizi defended the city, the situation was not optimistic at all. He asked for help from the south several times, asking Jiangbei Governor Gao Mingheng to send troops to help, but no one came from the south.

He asked Gao Yihuan for help, but Gao Yihuan did not send troops to rescue him, which made Liu Heizi feel desperate.
