347 You Have to Fight (Part 1)
Zhu Qizhuo really didn't expect that Li Zicheng would be so unsatisfied. He had warned Li Zicheng to be careful of Jiannu, and also sent Li Zicheng 100,000 caltrops and 10,000 thunders to help him withstand the first round of Jiannu's raid. As a result, this guy persisted for a few months, but he still gave it out of the capital and ran away.
This useless thing!
He really wanted to mobilize a large army to fight from Hanzhong or Nanyang, destroy the Dashun Dynasty in one fell swoop, and seize Shaanxi, Henan and Shanxi, but he didn't want to give Jiannu a free gift.
If he really did this, Li Zicheng would definitely fail and Dashunchao would fall apart.
Although he can seize a lot of land, he will also lose a lot of people.
After all, attacking others requires siege, and the loss of siege battles is the greatest.
You know, he lost thousands of people and injured tens of thousands of people alone with Zhang Xianzhong's troops. Although all these can be made up, it will take time.
If he starts a war with Li Zicheng, he will probably lose at least tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the injuries will be even more incalculable.
If this is the case alone, it would be worth it to be able to win nearly three provinces.
The problem is that Jiannu is attacking the Dashun Dynasty at this moment. After he takes the Dashun Dynasty, Jiannu will most likely take the opportunity to rush up and start working directly.
At that time, the tired army, who was at least half injured, would probably suffer a great loss when facing Jiannu.
Jiannu can definitely do this, because taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty's internal struggle is Jiannu's special ability. Although he and Li Zicheng cannot be considered the same group, in Jiannu's eyes, he is both forces in the muddy waters of the Ming Dynasty. Jiannu just thought that you would fight against the clam to make a profit.
He was originally a fisherman, and he watched Li Zicheng and Jiannu fight against each other, consume each other, and finally take the opportunity to make a profit.
If you go to be the snipe and clam, fight with Li Zicheng, and let Jiannu reap the benefits of the fisherman, wouldn’t your brain be in trouble!
Therefore, he could not attack Dashunchao at this time. Not only could he not fight, but he also had to help Li Zicheng in turn and let him continue to fight with Jiannu snipe and clam. When both sides had almost consumed it, it was the wisest choice to be a fisherman.
So, how to help Li Zicheng?
This guy is just muddy and can't help him at all!
But then again, it is precisely because Li Zicheng is a slush that he can help. Anyway, this slush can't be supported on the wall, so it's okay to help.
If this guy is a hero, after helping him, he can take advantage of the situation and unify the world, then he can't help.
As for how to help this mud, it is actually very simple. He can give away whatever he lacks.
Zhuqiuzi just analyzed it a little and then came up with an idea.
What Li Zicheng lacks the most now? You don’t have to think about it. It must be food.
This guy was very confused because he had no food to support a million troops, so he was defeated by Jiannu and ran around everywhere, both now and in history.
In other words, as long as you can give this guy some food to sustain his life, this guy can continue to work with Jiannu.
Of course, this grain cannot be given for free, and it needs to be bought with silver. You must know that Li Zicheng is not short of silver. This guy only squeezed out 70 million taels in the capital. In addition, the ones he robbed before, not to mention hundreds of millions of taels, there should be 80 million taels of 90 million taels.
I have to say that this guy is really a weird guy. Whether in history or now, he just robbed tens of millions of taels and was beaten by Jiannu for a few months. The money was useless in his hands. It would be better to take it to reward his soldiers.
After Zhu Qizhuo had a problem, he called Li Yan over and ordered him to go and find Li Zicheng quickly, and lobby for some reason.
Li Yanxin understood the truth, and immediately took a group of personal guards to Yunyang on the clutch, rushed to Ruzhou again, and then replaced the clutch and headed straight for Luoyang.
He didn't know where Li Zicheng was now, so he could only go to the nearest Luoyang City to inquire.
Fortunately, he had experience in serving a mission to the Dashun Dynasty, and the caltrops and thunder that he gave to Li Zicheng did play a great role, so the civil servants and military generals of the Dashun Dynasty had a good impression of him.
As for the capture of Hanzhong, it was brought by the Crazy King himself, and it had no direct relationship with him as an envoy, and he could not blame him.
The officials of the Dashun Dynasty in Luoyang City were quite polite to him. After hearing that he was here to discuss the sale of grain, the officials of the Dashun Dynasty in Luoyang City were even more happy and immediately sent someone to escort him to Xi'an.
It turned out that Li Zicheng was scared by Jiannu. After escaping from the capital, the guy ran back to Xi'an.
Alas, this guy is really mud that can't be supported by the beach!
He felt a little contempt in his heart, but on the surface he didn't say anything.
When Li Zicheng heard that Li Yan was coming, he was like meeting a savior and was so excited.
This time, he did not put on any airs and asked the so-called civil and military officials to stand the train and wait in the hall. He directly recruited Li Yan to the imperial palace, which was the study room of the main palace of the Qin Palace.
Li Yan entered the study and understood that Li Zicheng must have something to ask for, so he did not arrange a trustee to accompany him to meet him. This guy probably couldn't hide his face in front of his hands.
Sure enough, when Li Zicheng saw Li Yan coming in, he stood up and said excitedly: "Oh, Lord Li, you are finally here. Hurry up, please sit down, please sit down."
Of course he knew that Li Yan was here to discuss the matter of selling grain, and his subordinates had already sent Kuaima to tell him that what he lacked is food now!
However, he not only wanted to buy food, but also many things he wanted to buy.
That's why he was so polite to Li Yan.
Li Yan pretended to give in and then carefully sat down on the guest seat. Then, he sighed repeatedly: "Oh, I heard that the king had to give up the capital because the food route was cut off. Oh, it's a pity!"
Li Zicheng sighed repeatedly: "Oh, yes, the capital city is high and the trenches are deep. It is probably impossible for Jiannu to break through. It's a pity that I have no food!"
Li Yan shook his head and sighed for a while, then asked, "Master, are you still short of food?"
Missing!
How could it be that there is no shortage?
Li Zicheng couldn't wait to say, "How much food do you have? I want as much as you want!"
Li Yan said calmly: "This depends on how much the king wants and when it will take it. If we want it now, I guess we can only take out one or two million stones at most."
One or two million stones?
Very good!
When Li Zicheng heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Okay, okay, whether it's one million stone or two million stones, I'll have it all. What about you guys?"
What's in a hurry?
You think we gave it for free!
Li Yan pretended to be embarrassed: "We have food, but we go to Bashu to buy it. King, you should know that food is not cheap now!"
Uh, is this money?
OK, as long as there is food, if there is no food, my millions of troops will be disbanded!
Li Zicheng said without hesitation: "How much does it cost per stone, you said."
Li Yan said carefully: "I won't talk about the ground in the northwest. There is basically no grain to buy. No matter how much silver is, it's useless. Let's calculate it according to the current price in Nanzhili. The current price in Nanzhili is twenty-three taels of silver per stone."
ah!
Chapter completed!
