Li Yan had no chance to attack the city because Li Guodong's army came from Linqing, with 15,000 infantry, 5,000 artillery, 10,000 auxiliary soldiers and 5,000 navy. Due to insufficient war horses, the 5,000 cavalry left in Shandong by Li Guodong also arrived. Although there were no cavalry riding horses, they dismounted and were also the best heavy infantry and archers.

A total of 40,000 elite troops arrived in Tianjin Wei. Li Yan knew he was defeated, so he had to withdraw his troops and retreat back to the north bank.

Following the army, there was also an old man with gray hair and wearing a first-rank official robe. This old man was Sun Chuanting.

"Your Majesty, I thought I would never see you again." When Sun Chuanting saw Emperor Chongzhen, he immediately knelt down and cried loudly.

Chongzhen did not ask Sun Chuanting to calm down, but said coldly: "Sun Qing, I thought you had sacrificed your country! I didn't expect you to be alive!"

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to you, I'm sorry to the Ming Dynasty!"

"Who said that it was to slap the gang in three months? I still remember someone once said that slap Liao in five years, but it ended up slapping the capital?" Chongzhen looked at Sun Chuanting with a dark face, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you are all criminals who don't know that the bandits have become powerful. The criminals underestimated their opponents and hope that your majesty will punish them." Sun Chuanting kowtowed repeatedly when he heard about the words "Ping Liao in the fifth year". He knew that Chongzhen was very angry at him for talking big. The round dudu, who spoke big last time, turned into a skin duck.

After Sun Chuanting came out of prison, he swore to Chongzhen that he promised to suppress the enemy for three months. However, he found that he had been in prison for a long time and knew nothing about the situation outside. At this time, the rebel army was no longer the rebel army before he was imprisoned. The great disaster in Henan gave the rebel army an excellent development opportunity. The rebel army broke through Luoyang, Xiangyang and Jingzhou, and successively killed many royal families of the vassal kings, and also incorporated a large number of Ming army surrendered troops. It was strong and could no longer be dealt with by the Qin army.

Li Guodong quickly knelt down and pleaded for Sun Chuanting: "Your Majesty, Commander Sun has been in prison for three years, so he naturally does not know the changes outside. Therefore, he thought it was still a thief in the past. I hope Your Majesty let Commander Sun go and let him make meritorious service."

Seeing Li Guodong pleading for Sun Chuanting, Chongzhen then put aside the idea of ​​killing Sun Chuanting: "Sun Qing, it's all Wuwei Bo who pleads for you. I'll spare your life for the time being! Please take care of yourself!"

"Your Majesty, the 40,000 troops of Wuweibo have arrived. You can take the opportunity to restore the capital!" Feng Yuanyang stood up and said excitedly.

"Restoring the capital? Even if I defeat the 40,000 troops of Ben Bo, how many can I still be left? The Jiannu outside the pass is now eyeing him. If we fight to the death with the thieves now, then when Jiannu comes, who can stop Jiannu?" Li Guodong firmly disagrees with the capital.

Feng Yuanyang turned his head and faced Chongzhen, kneeled down and reported: "Your Majesty, now Wuweibo is strong and powerful, and he should restore the capital and escort His Majesty back to the capital."

Li Guodong also replied: "Your Majesty, if the land is divided today, if our army attacks the rebel army, the two tigers will be injured in fighting each other. Wouldn't it be that the Jiannu fisherman outside the pass benefit? Your Majesty, with the advice of my humble minister, I should go south to Jiangnan and give the north to Jiannu and the rebels to kill each other. When Jiannu and the rebels are almost invincible, our army will take the opportunity to fight north and restore the Central Plains."

Feng Yuanyang sneered: "Wuweibo, if the thief did not attack Jiannu and followed our army south, wouldn't there be any loss in Jiangnan? Then I will go again? Where can I go? Fujian? Guangdong?"

Li Guodong said: "Your Majesty, our army has arrived. Our army is strong and strong. The thieves will be afraid. The thieves dare not attack our army again. What I am worried about is that once our army abandons Tianjin Guard and goes south, if the thieves pursue them with cavalry, our army will suffer losses. Therefore, I am willing to go to the camp of the envoys in person, persuade the thieves not to pursue our army, and help us resist Jiannu from the Ming Dynasty. If the envoy fails and the thieves encounter an unexpected situation, I will hand over this army to the commander Sun to escort His Majesty to Nanjing."

When Chongzhen heard Li Guodong say he wanted to go on a camp in person, he quickly stood up: "Li Aiqing must not take risks! You are the pillar of my Ming Dynasty now. If you have any accidents, who can help me resist the thieves and Jiannu?"

"Please rest assured that the thief dare not kill Weichen. Li Zicheng is also a hero of a generation. Since he has occupied the capital and ascended the throne to the pseudo-emperor, he certainly knows that Jiannu in the north is eyeing him. If he kills Weichen, he will completely turn against the Ming Dynasty. Once Jiannu invades, Li Zicheng will be smashed to pieces."

"Li Aiqing, then be careful. If you don't have it, send Sun Aiqing to the thief camp." Chongzhen thought to himself that since Sun Chuanting is not dead, it would be better to let Sun Chuanting go as far as the treasury camp is concerned. Even if Sun Chuanting is killed, there will be no loss.

Li Guodong replied: "Your Majesty, Supervisor Sun and the thieves are life-and-death enemies who will never die. Most of the ministers fight bloody battles with Jiannu, and the bandits have not yet had a deep hatred. You should ask the minister to go to the thieves camp to convince the thieves. When the ministers come back from the thieves camp, they will immediately escort Your Majesty to tour Nanjing."

"Li Aiqing, you have also killed many giant bandits. Wang Jiayin, Ma Shouying and other giant bandits all died at the hands of Li Aiqing. Isn't you a big revenge with them? I think, if you can let others go, just let others go. You are not worth taking this risk."

"Please rest assured that although I have killed Wang Jiayin, Ma Shouying and other giant bandits, now it is related to Li Zicheng's life and death, and he will not be so irrational."

"Okay, Li Aiqing, be careful." Chongzhen saw that Li Guodong insisted on going on a mission to break into the camp, so he had to agree.

After leaving the Tianjin Governor's Mansion, Sun Chuanting called Li Guodong: "Wuweibo, why do you have to take risks? Let me go. My life is yours. If the thief kills me, I will return this life to you."

"Supermaster Sun, if you go, you will not have any effect except for a quarrel with a thief. You will still stay in Tianjin. If Li is unfortunately killed, you must not avenge me. You should quickly escort Your Majesty to Nanjing. According to my judgment, Nanjing is probably going to support King Fu to ascend the throne! You have to deal with this matter with Commander Sun." Li Guodong replied. He believed that Li Zicheng would not turn against him, and when Sun Chuanting went, he would probably make Li Zicheng furious and then pull him out and slash him.

"Wu Weibo, then be careful." Sun Chuanting said helplessly.

Just as Li Guodong and Sun Chuanting were talking, Wang Chengen came out of the mansion: "Wuweibo, the princess is welcome, please come with our family."

Following Wang Chengen into the governor's mansion, through the outer courtyard, into the back garden, and to the edge of the rockery, I faintly smelled a fragrance, and a graceful figure was standing behind the peach blossoms. Who was it if it wasn't Princess Kunxing?

"Eunuch Wang, you go back first. I will say a few words to Wu Weibo." Princess Kunxing said.

"Your Highness, I will retreat first." Wang Chengen bowed and retreated.

When Princess Kunxing asked the two palace maids around her to retreat, only she and Li Guodong were left, she said, "Wu Wei Bo, I heard that you are going to take risks and go to the thief camp alone?"

"Yes, this matter is related to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty. The ministers must go to the thief camp in person."

"Wuweibo, can you let others go? Yu'er is worried that if the thief turns against you, Wuweibo, what are you saying? Who will protect your father and who will protect your mother?" Princess Kunxing shed tears as she said that.

Li Guodong knew that the princess was worried about him, so he comforted him: "Please rest assured, Princess Princess, Li Zicheng naturally knew which one is more important. If the empress dared to go to the thief camp, he would naturally escape unscathed."

"Then be careful and you must come back safely. The father and mother are still waiting for you to protect." Princess Kunxing said sadly.

"If nothing happens, then I will say goodbye first. I will go out to the thief camp tomorrow, and I will have to prepare when I go back." Li Guodong bowed.

Looking at Li Guodong's back, Princess Kunxing felt a little disappointed. She originally asked Wang Chengen to come in, but she wanted to say a few more words, but who knew that he would say goodbye without saying a few words.
