Anti Qing

Chapter 24
"I called all the brothers here today just to discuss and discuss, and I'm at a loss as to which step I should take next."

"Right now, Dashun is facing enemies from three sides. The officials and gentry everywhere are ready to move, and we need to make decisions as soon as possible to reverse the situation."

Li Zicheng turned around and stared at everyone in the hall.

Originally sharp as an eagle's eyes, there was a little confusion, and the bad news that came one after another made him sleepless all night, and he couldn't sleep or eat.

The landlord and bureaucratic forces in Henan and Shandong rebelled one after another, which made him overwhelmed. Even Hanzhong was suddenly attacked by Zhang Xianzhong.

"Is there any need to ask? The Hongguang court is jumping, and what is going on to join forces with the captives to suppress the bandits, so let's destroy him first!"

"Basically, let's go south to fight Zuo Liangyu first. Wuchang is an important place for armaments. There must be a lot of supplies. Zuo Liangyu is just a defeated general, so there is nothing to worry about!"

"My army spent a period of time in Wuchang to cultivate, and then crossed the river to fight Nanjing, and took off the emperor's hat on the head of Hongguang boy!"

After Liu Zongmin finished speaking, the generals of the Chinese army in Tsing Yi all agreed.

Liu Fangliang, who usually doesn't speak much on such occasions, moved his eyes slightly, sneered, and said in a strange way.

"Nanjing is far away from Guanzhong. When the army captures Wuchang and arrives in Nanjing, Tongguan may have fallen long ago. Xi'an will be precarious. If the foundation of Guanzhong is lost, what's the use of conquering Nanjing?"

He himself is a general of the Zuoying system, has his own direct line in Zuoying, and has followed Li Zicheng for many years, and is also cited as a confidant.

For Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang usually does not deliberately confront him, but he will directly express his views when making such key decisions.

"That's right, you should stick to Tongguan!"

"Fart! What about Zhang Xianzhong in Hanzhong? Zuo Liangyu claims to have an army of hundreds of thousands in Wuchang, so how should he deal with it?"

For a while, the Zuoying and the Dashun generals of the Chinese army were arguing so hard that the roof almost broke.

Li Zicheng didn't even think about how to deal with the current corrupt situation, and then looked to his side.

"Please ask the military division to do a fortune-telling first, to see where the current situation is favorable?"

After saying this, everyone turned their gazes to Song Xiance who was wearing gray clothes and holding a feather fan.

Song Xiance enjoyed the feeling of attracting attention very much, holding a goatee in his hand, and on his thin face, there was a sharpness in his eyes.

He waved the feather fan in his hand, and took out three pieces of paper with written words from the sleeve through the gap when he waved the sleeve.

In the eyes of everyone, these three pieces of paper seemed to be created out of thin air by Song Xiance, and they were all amazed.

"Your Majesty, please choose a word from it."

Li Zicheng looked down and saw the words "Shun", "Qing" and "You". He kept sliding his finger on it, pondered for a long time, and finally stopped on the far right.

Song Xiance stared at it, then closed his eyes tightly, paced back and forth in the hall with his hand holding his beard, pinching his fingers to count carefully.

"If your Majesty asks about the situation, it may be a disadvantage for me."

Li Zicheng tightened his hands and said quickly.

"Also ask the military division to speak bluntly."

Song Xiance sighed with a serious expression on his face.

"This one has characters, the upper part is a large character missing a stroke, and the lower part is a Ming character missing half, which clearly means that there is still half of the Great Ming Dynasty left."

"It is clear that the five elements belong to fire. To put out fire, you should fetch water."

"Your Majesty, look at this clear character again. Use water to extinguish fire. There are three horizontal lines and one vertical line at the bottom of the character. The three horizontal lines represent heaven, earth, and man, and the one vertical line represents heaven, earth, and man. He may be a king."

When Li Zicheng heard this, his complexion changed suddenly.

"Can the military division explain it more clearly?"

Song Xiance closed his eyes tightly again, concentrating on contemplation, sometimes frowning, and after a long time, he just remained silent.

Many of Dashun's generals were born with mud legs, but they could clearly hear the bad implication in those words, their faces were all ugly, and they all started talking among each other.

Liu Zongmin rubbed his hands anxiously and stamped his feet repeatedly.

"What do you mean, why don't you explain it directly?"

Li Zicheng respected Song Xiance very much, raised his hand slightly and said.

"Jiexuan, Hugh must be rude to the military advisor."

"How can you speak lightly about leaking secrets?"

Liu Zongmin snorted coldly and sat back, losing his temper immediately, but still staring fiercely at Song Xiance.

In his heart, he actually didn't believe in any ghosts and gods at all, but it was just because Li Zicheng favored this dog-headed military adviser and didn't bother to care about it.

Song Xiance turned around and paced back and forth. Hearing the commotion around him being suppressed gradually, he felt that the heat was enough, so he opened his eyes slightly.

While pacing back and forth, Song Xiance opened his eyes from time to time to observe the expressions of the various generals in the hall, but inadvertently, the same person looked at each other.

Looking at each other for a moment, Song Xiance suddenly looked away, and in a panic, he staggered and slammed into the table.

Li Zijing's gaze was like a steel awl, for a few breaths, the cold light pierced into Song Xiance's heart.

The two didn't have a conversation, but Song Xiance was already a little flustered, feeling that Li Zijing had seen through his tricks.

Song Xiance was so flustered, beyond Li Zicheng's expectation.

He rushed forward a few steps and held Song Xiance firmly, with an anxious expression on his face.

"Military Master, what is God's will?"

Only then did Song Xiance come to his senses, he was too timid to look in the direction where Li Zijing was sitting, turned around to pretend to be mysterious, and then heaved a heavy sigh.

"The result I calculated just now, I really can't bear to speak out, so I messed up my mind, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is referring to the characters, the upper big characters are missing a swipe, and the lower part is missing half of the Ming characters, which means that the great Ming Dynasty is in my Dashun's hands, and there is still half of it to survive."

"There are characters on the side, and there are clear characters."

"Clearness governs water, light governs fire, and it means that cleanliness will destroy light."

"The lower part of the character has three horizontal lines and one vertical line on the Qing characters. The three horizontal lines represent heaven, earth and man, implying that there will be one person who will penetrate heaven, earth and man and lead the Qing army to seize the world."

When Li Zicheng heard this, his bloodshot eyes widened, he took a few steps back in a daze, and said in a daze.

"That is to say, the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of my Dashun Dynasty, and half of the south of the Yangtze River will be preserved. In the end, the Qing captives went south and wiped out the Ming Dynasty."

"Then I, Da Shun, didn't I make a wedding dress for the Qing prisoner?"

Hearing this, Liu Zongmin couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and angrily reprimanded Song Xiance.

"It's a bunch of nonsense. He was the one who said that eighteen children are the master artifacts. I, Dashun, will take Ming and replace them!"

"It's really so effective. It should have been calculated that the Qing army is outside the pass, instead of making this an afterthought now!"

When everyone was worried, a cavalry soldier of the Shunjun galloped in, which was regarded as a relief for Song Xiance who had been reprimanded by Liu Zongmin.

"Report to Your Majesty, Yan'an Tang Bao!"

"Azig heard that Duoduo had defeated Tongguan, besieged Yan'an with Jiang Xiang, Tang Tong and others, and led tens of thousands of cavalry in person. He marched day and night from Yulinwei to the south and headed straight for Xi'an!"

The news came suddenly, making the situation in the Northwest even more difficult.

Seeing that everyone was talking about it, they were all frightened by Song Xiance's hexagrams, and even the words of retreating from Jingxiang and transferring to Huguang were said.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? It's going to turn the world upside down!"

Liu Zongmin stood up against the table, looked around, and immediately stopped everyone's discussion, and the chaotic hall just now fell silent in an instant.

"A few hexagrams scare you like this?"

"This guy is talking nonsense here, and he doesn't need to go out to wield knives and guns!"

Liu Zongmin's temper wasn't just a joke, the Dashun general lowered his gaze no matter what he saw, and no longer dared to say anything about retreating.

He walked up to Li Zicheng, and his loud voice resounded throughout the hall.

"King Chuang, what's wrong with you?"

"Eh, I followed Chuang Wang to fight for more than ten years. Where is the determined Chuang Wang now? How did he become indecisive and worry about gains and losses?"

Hearing the battle reports from Yan'an and Yulin, Azig and Duoduo are about to form a siege, and Li Zicheng's stability that has been maintained for many days is no longer sustainable.

My head was dizzy and I almost fell to the ground.

Liu Zongmin stepped forward to support Li Zicheng with firm eyes.

"Advance or retreat, attack or defend, all depends on Chuang Wang's decision, follow the left and right, even if Azig comes, he dares to lead the elite cavalry to fight!"

Li Zicheng supported the square table with one hand, pondered for a while, and said in a trembling voice.

"Xi'an has fallen, and it's meaningless to defend Tongguan. It's better to return to Xi'an first, defeat Azig, and then discuss."

Li Zijing's face was slightly marked, and it was really hard to figure out what Li Zicheng was thinking right now.

He won the battle the day before yesterday, and despite Song Xiance's hypocritical nonsense, Li Zicheng is going to run away again?

Li Zijing only knew that running away would be a dead end just like in history, and now there was no other way but to fight to the death.

Li Zijing stood up, his eyes shot like sharp swords, and said loudly.

"Can't withdraw!"

　The Chinese New Year is approaching in these two days, there are too many things, and the stable time will be updated as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone!
