Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 600
The Ming army camp in Chunshuwan, 30 miles southeast of Kuizhou City.

It has been more than half a month since Zhu Yousong camped here. He neither advanced to attack Kuizhou City, nor Kuizhou City sent troops to attack them.

The two sides have been spending more than half a month like this, and a group of generals under him can't hold their breath anymore.If these people don't fight for a day, their palms will itch.

Including the two imperial concubines Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, Ma Wannian, Zhang Huan and others asked Zhu Yousong to send troops to attack Kuizhou City, otherwise when will it last? 10,000+ soldiers are fed by horses, how much food and grass do they consume in a day?
Zhu Yousong smiled indifferently: "Don't be anxious, gentlemen. There is a saying that attacking the heart is the top priority and attacking the city is the bottom. Zhang Xianzhong can afford it, so I can afford it. Zhang Xianzhong can be in no hurry, and I am not in a hurry. You can give him a few days to recuperate, but there is someone who is more anxious than me, and that is Li Zicheng."

Knowing their majesty's temper, as long as Zhu Yousong made the decision, no one would want to shake it.So these people all left dejectedly. Although they knew that their majesty had a plan in mind, but they had no battles to fight all day long, and they stayed in tents and were not allowed to drink, gamble and play with women. Life is worse than death!
Especially Zhang Huan, the sharp archer, has not seen Li Dingguo, who killed his father and enemy for a long time, and he started drinking secretly again.

Back in the tent, he ordered someone to quietly prepare four dishes and a jug of wine for him, poured himself a drink, and just after taking two sips, a soldier came to report that Mrs. Gao Guiying, Marquis of Xi'an, had arrived.

"What is she here for?" Zhang Huan took another sip from his glass and said coldly.

I have never had a good impression of Li Zicheng and his wife Zhang Huan, and treat them like Zhang Xianzhong.

"General, Madam said, I want to thank you for saving my life."

Of course, Zhang Huan knew what happened to the so-called life-saving grace. If Zhang Huan's arrow hadn't shot down Li Zicheng's arrow, Gao Guiying would have been pierced by an arrow.

"Go and tell him that there is nothing to thank. I, Zhang Huan, just followed the order for that arrow. If you want to thank him, let her thank His Majesty." After finishing speaking, he continued to drink his wine and eat his food.

What Zhang Huan said was not angry, Zhu Yousong indeed asked Zhang Huan to shoot that arrow.At that time, Zhu Yousong saw Li Zicheng aiming his bow at Gao Guiying, so he asked Zhang Huan to prepare the arrow.As a result, Zhang Huan did not capture his high hopes, and shot down Li Zicheng's arrow with only one arrow, saving Gao Guiying's life.

Gao Guiying is kind, and she knows how to repay her kindness. After knowing the truth, she thanked Zhu Yousong, and then thanked the young general Zhang Huan. Unexpectedly, Zhang Huan would not see her.

The soldiers left and returned, "General, Madam said, if you don't let me thank you in person, Madam will tell Your Majesty about the general's drinking."

"Why is this woman so difficult!" Zhang Huan was afraid of this move, so he quickly withdrew the food and drinks, and put Gao Guiying into the account.

It wasn't until Gao Guiying thanked her enough to leave that Zhang Huan begged her not to tell Zhu Yousong about her drinking. Gao Guiying smiled, nodded, and left.

But at night, Zhang Huan was "invited" by Zhu Yousong to the tent, reprimanded, neither beaten nor killed, and then punished to go to Jiming Mountain to guard food with Zhang Naishuangxi.

Before leaving, Zhu Yousong told him respectfully that if he dared to disobey the military order again, he would be killed for two crimes.

From then on, Zhang Huan hated Gao Guiying even more, until one day, he recognized Gao Guiying as a godmother.

The sight then turned to Kuizhou City, Zhang Xianzhong's temporary residence, which was also his ward.

After hearing the words of the two advisers, Zhang Xianzhong was furious.

If what Xu Yixian and Pan Duao said is true, then Li Zicheng is too arrogant, too much. This is blatantly playing him, the Great Western Emperor, as a fool. Do you think I really dare not kill you?

But still the same sentence, Zhang Xianzhong is not a warrior, although he is also a fierce general in front of the two armies.

After he calmed down and thought about it, he decided to figure out what was hidden in Li Zicheng's body first, so he asked the two counselors.

Xu Yixian said: "Your Majesty, isn't this simple? If you control Li Zicheng first, search his body and his military tent, you will definitely get what your Majesty wants."

"I'm afraid it's not good to arrest people first." Zhang Xianzhong said hesitantly.If he really wanted to do that, he could really find what he wanted, but Li Zicheng was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.

Now he has four or five thousand personal guards, plus the five surrendered generals, and his injuries are basically healed. With Li Zicheng's bravery, if there is a mutiny and the Ming army comes to attack the city again, Kuizhou will be in danger, so Zhang Xianzhong had to be cautious.

Pan Du'ao said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, it's not difficult. I have a plan to get what Li Zicheng hides."

"Oh, what's your plan, tell me quickly."

"Your Majesty, Rong Bing, Li Zicheng's wives and concubines are all cheaper than Zhu Yousong. How can such a big one stand shoulder to shoulder with the king without his wife? Your Majesty can bear the pain and give him Cuihua..."

Before Pan Du'ao could finish speaking, Zhang Xianzhong's face fell down. Cuihua was a beauty he had carefully selected in Chengdu. This girl was only 16 years old this year. Clever, beautiful as a flower, and good at martial arts, he can fight Zhang Xianzhong more than a dozen times in a one-on-one match.

Zhang Xianzhong cherished her martial arts and took her as a court lady, also a personal female bodyguard.

If it wasn't for this battle, he would have taken her into the harem.With such a beauty, how could Zhang Xianzhong be willing to be Li Zicheng's wife?

It would be worth it if Li Zicheng was determined to protect him, but Zhang Xianzhong knew very well that Li Zicheng was temporarily living under someone else's fence, and sooner or later his dragon would rise to the sky.

Pan Duao was courageous, and quickly stated his interests, "Your Majesty, as the Ninth Five-Year Lord, what kind of woman will you not have in the future? The most important thing is to deal with Li Zicheng now. If you make Cuihua a princess, Cuihua will definitely feel grateful to Long Enhaodang, and then Your Majesty will give Cuihua to Zhu Yousong again, and your two families are called close relatives. When Cuihua is serving Li Zicheng to bed, isn't the little secret about him easy to get?"

Zhang Xianzhong was still depressed, Xu Yixian stroked his palm and praised him, "Master Pan's plan is perfect, Your Majesty should stop hesitating. Put Cuihua next to Li Zicheng, there will be no harm at all."

"Okay, with Qing's ingenious plan, Xuan Cuihua will meet you!" Zhang Xianzhong said with great determination, slapping the dragon couch.

This time Zhang Xianzhong went to Daming personally, and he took this Cuihua with him.

Xu Yixian and Pan Duao were very happy to see that their goal had been achieved, but when Cuihua came, they felt that it was inconvenient to stay here, so they hurriedly kowtowed to Zhang Xianzhong, greeted him, and then withdrew.

As soon as the two counselors left, Cuihua, a natural beauty dressed in the short attire of a martial artist, came in and knelt down in front of Zhang Xianzhong.

　PS: Some trolls may have noticed that when Zhu Yousong traveled, Pan Duao and Xu Yixian had died a year or two ago in history.

　　What Xiaocao wants to say here is that this is fiction, not history.You don't need to check your seats, and you don't need to call this Zhener.Just take these two as the two fictional counselors before Zhang Xianzhong, please forgive Xiaocao for not being able to choose names.
