Chapter 726 Shun the army to persuade surrender

Chongzhen asked: "Li Aiqing, Wu Aiqing is in Shanhaiguan hundreds of miles away. Did you ask for help from Wu Sangui?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to ask Wu Sangui for help! He will not come to save him at all! Even if he is given a million military salary, he will not come to save him. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you will know after a while. Wu Sangui will surrender to Jiannu sooner or later." Li Guodong said with a sneer.

Under the city, Li Zicheng had a large formation. Zhu Chunchen saw a man wearing a yellow robe standing on the city gate tower. He said to Li Zicheng flatteringly: "Your Majesty, that guy in yellow is the foolish monarch Chongzhen! As long as you concentrate on artillery and hit a row of cannons, you might kill the foolish monarch."

Li Zicheng sneered in his heart: What a shameless guy! He sold the prince and wanted to kill the monarch! So he said: "General Zhu, you don't want to be charged with the crime of monarchy. It's better not to do this to kill the emperor."

In fact, Li Zicheng didn't even want to kill the lord. At first, he didn't even want to be an emperor. He wanted Chongzhen to admit himself, give him a king, and give him the northwest land. But he didn't expect that the capital was as solid as a capital city so quickly. Even if he captured the capital city, he never thought that he would kill the lord. Even if he ascended the throne, he would raise Chongzhen like Shanyang Gong, Anle Gong, etc. Maybe Li Zicheng was happy and could not say anything about Chongzhen. Even if he really wanted to kill Zhu Youjian, he would accidentally die one day afterwards.

Li Yan made a suggestion: "King, siege the city as the best, and attack the heart as the best, let someone call on the foolish monarch first."

Zhu Chunchen smiled flatteringly and said, "Mr. Li, have you all asked Du (Xun) to persuade the foolish monarch? Unfortunately, the foolish monarch is a duck who dies and is still hard. What's the use of persuading him? If your Majesty is kind, he should also conquer Tianjin. The right way to capture the foolish monarch."

Li Zicheng sneered in his heart: You are so shameless that you are just thinking of killing Chongzhen. The more you do this, the more you will not let you treacherous ministers succeed! So Li Zicheng said: "Mr. Li is right, so let someone call first and let the tyrant king come out and surrender first."

So Li Zicheng turned around and called Song Xiance, and gave him a few instructions. Song Xiance went out to find two loud soldiers.

Standing at the top of the city, Chongzhen saw two soldiers holding white flags walking out of the formation of the rebel army, and shaking the white flags to the bottom of the gate of Anbei City.

The soldier raised his head and shouted, "Is it that the city is the head of Emperor Chongzhen?"

Chongzhen stood up boldly: "I am here, what's the matter with you?"

"Your Majesty, now that things have come to this point, the destiny of the Great Ming Dynasty has ended. Your Majesty, the destiny of the Great Emperor, is the destiny of heaven. If Your Majesty recognizes the destiny of heaven and retreats to his subordinates, he will be the Duke of Anle."

Chongzhen was furious: "Dare you dare to compare me with A Dou! How could I be such a foolish monarch as A Dou?"

Duke Anle was the title of Liu Chan after his country was destroyed. Sima Zhao asked Cao Huan to grant him the Duke Anle.

Li Yan frowned and was named Anle Gong? Although he humiliated the foolish lord Chongzhen, he also humiliated himself! Cao Huan, who conferred Anle Gong to Ado, was also a puppet emperor. Not long after, Cao Wei was destroyed by Sima Yan. This matter is unknown.

The two soldiers continued to shout: "Your Majesty, your three princes are living well with the king. You are so kind to the king, and you will not bully the little prince."

Li Guodong whispered in Chongzhen's ear: "Your Majesty, I don't mean to harm Your Majesty. You can grant him a king in exchange for him to withdraw his troops and also for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

In fact, Li Guodong's method may be useful. After all, Li Zicheng has no foundation and ascended the throne himself. This emperor is not justified. If Chongzhen was willing to be the king of Li Zi, Li Zicheng might really withdraw his troops and may return it to the crown prince.

Chongzhen said angrily: "Wuwei, I don't need you to teach me! Although my prince is in the hands of a thief, I will not surrender!"

Li Guodong said to himself: Chongzhen, Chongzhen, you are just too tough! But since you are unwilling to compromise, I can only help you. Chongzhen, who is already deeply hated by court officials in his heart, is a very important figure. After going to Jiangnan, he can use Chongzhen's hands to clean up a group of gentry and nobles, so that reform can reduce resistance.

However, Li Guodong did not think about treating Chongzhen as Emperor Xian of Han. It was precisely because Chongzhen could not be Emperor Xian of Han that the relationship between Li Guodong and Zhang Shuheng was kept secret from the outside. If Chongzhen used force to coerce Chongzhen to be a puppet, it was estimated that Chongzhen would rather commit suicide than be a puppet. Therefore, he could only use differentiation methods to use Chongzhen's knife to kill people.

Will he be able to do great things to shock the master? At least before the bandits and Jiannu were destroyed, this kind of thing would not happen. As for the end of the world, would Chongzhen still have the final say at that time?

Thinking of this, Li Guodong said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, please send me a mission to the bandit camp, hoping to get the bandits to retreat."

Chongzhen was shocked: "Li Aiqing, you must not! You must not take risks with yourself! If you have any shortcomings, how can I get out of here?"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Li Zicheng is a hero of a generation. When I go to persuade him to withdraw his troops, he will definitely not attack me." Li Guodong knew Li Zicheng's character very well, and most importantly, if Li Zicheng ascended the throne, he would have to face the threat of Dorgon from the north. At this time, Li Zicheng faced the alliance against the Ming Dynasty, and it was the choice of alliance against the enemy to destroy the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he had been kind to the thief army, and Li Zicheng was not the one who was kind to the enemy.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang went to the State of Wu to lobby Wu and unite Wu to resist Cao, but Wu never thought of eradicating Zhuge Liang.

As for Zhou Yu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he was determined to get rid of Zhuge Liang, that was just a novel. The real situation was that Zhou Yu had never had the idea of ​​trying to harm Zhuge Liang. After all, if Sun and Liu formed an alliance, if Zhuge Liang died in Eastern Wu, the alliance would be defeated. Later, when Lu Meng attacked Jingzhou and Sun Quan killed Guan Yu, it was because Shu Kingdom had become the most powerful force after winning the Battle of Hanzhong, and Sun Quan would attack Liu Bei on the excuse of Jingzhou.

"What good strategy does Li Aiqing have to get out of the enemy?" Chongzhen asked.

"Not now, we have to repel the attack of the thieves first." Li Guodong kept a secret.

Seeing that the persuasion of surrender was ineffective, Li Zicheng had to order and prepare to attack the city.

"Your Majesty, as long as you give orders, you will definitely expel the people to attack the city!" Tang Tong actively stepped forward and volunteered to fight.

"No need," Li Zicheng waved his hand, "These people are so hungry that they are skinny. Wouldn't they die in vain if they go up? Well, another group of people are brought here, and let them go first."

Tang Tong looked in the direction of Li Zicheng's thin man, shocked: Dashunjun brought a group of people from somewhere, including men, women, young and old, all of whom were wearing silk clothes. At a glance, he knew they were from the rich and gentry family.

The soldiers of the Dashun Army stepped forward and selected young and beautiful women from the crowd, and took them to the side. Then they were asked to escort them, preparing to wait for the shield cart, collision cart, ladder and other siege weapons to be built, and then they escort them to attack Tianjin Beicheng.

The surrounding woods had long been cut down. The rebels demolished the homes of the rich and gentry, and removed the door panels, wooden beams and wooden pillars to create siege weapons. The ones who created the siege weapons were the refugees Li Yan recruited halfway.

The treatment of refugees in the rebel army was obviously much better than that of the rich gentry. In Li Zicheng's eyes, those rich gentry were not good people. Every time the rebel army siege, they would first push the captured rich gentry up and act as cannon fodder. When the rich gentry died, it was the turn of the poor people.

"Your Majesty, the bandit army is about to attack the city. You should go back to the south city first. It is not safe here. Once the north city is lost, you can't even go back." Li Guodong advised.
