Yuan Yao was defeated!

Even he himself died in the chaos.

Wu Sangui did not stop the attack. He was unyielding and severely injured two thieves one after another. After ate 40,000 to 50,000 Li Zicheng's troops, he stopped to rest.

He could stop, but Li Zicheng couldn't. He realized the danger he was in the capital, who was originally dreaming of an emperor.

Surrounded from all sides!

Although it has not reached this point, Zhu Ciying led a large army to live in Cangzhou and stared at it, but he also sent Zhou Yuji to occupy Tumen Pass and fight all the way to Shanxi. Wu Sangui's other army with white banners and mourning clothes was coming towards the capital.

"This is to cut off my retreat!"

Realizing the danger, Li Zicheng immediately attracted all civil and military officials to discuss matters. After the ministers held the scepter in front of the imperial court, Li Zicheng gave an order and gave him a seat. When everyone had just sat down, Li Zicheng asked Liu Zongmin first:

"Jiexuan, Wu Sangui broke Yuan Yao's camp."

Liu Zongmin replied:

"I already know. Speaking of which, I was negligent. Although I knew that Wu Sangui would definitely send troops, I did not make careful arrangements when I returned to Beijing, so that Wu Sangui could take advantage of the loopholes. He only had 30,000 to 40,000 troops in total. If we were more cautious, it would be our opponent!"

Li Zicheng nodded and said:

"You are right. Wu Sangui just took advantage of the loopholes. He didn't fight sooner or later, but when Zhu Ciying was stationed in Cangzhou, he called Zhu Ciying and the so-called Ming emperor. He was afraid that Zhu Ciying would be responsible for the unfavorable crime of serving the king in the future, so he relied on beating us as a letter of fame, leaving some room for maneuver in the future."

He suddenly turned to the Prime Minister and asked:

"Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Sun Kewei quickly stood up and said:

"Your Majesty is wise and wise, and you can see Sangui's heart. I think that Zhu Ciying is trying to cut off my retreat now, and he leads tens of thousands of troops, which is my confidant. But what kind of climate did Wu Sangui become? From the perspective of my ministers, you might as well attack Zhu Ciying. As long as you defeat Zhu Ciying, Wu Sangui will surrender!"

Li Zicheng's heart moved, thinking that Sun Kewei's words made sense, so he asked Song Xianke:

"How about discussing in the military advisor's mansion?"

Song Xiance stood up and said, "According to the military advisor's office, all the ministers, Yu Shangshu and Gu Xueshi have arrived. During the meeting, they received a report from Shanxi that the Ming army, led by Zhou Yuji to march westward to Shanxi, occupied Tumen Pass, and intended to cut off my way back. All of them were filled with righteous indignation. However, because it was a military and national event? They could not act indignation."

Li Zicheng asked with a stern expression.

"The main thing is, what do you think about sending troops to attack?"

Song Xiance was shocked and replied:

"Gu Junen, a scholar, strongly advocated the siege? Yu Shangyou, also advocated the siege. However, the matter is so large that the ministers are in doubt. If they do not attack, it will encourage Wu Sangui's arrogance and the desire for disobedience in various places far and near? This time when Zhou encountered Ji's expedition in the west, the surrendered officials and the people were rebelled one after another. If they do not defeat the enemy, they are afraid that all the people from far and near will have the intention of disobedience in various places."

It’s Zhou Yuji again!

Li Zicheng stared at Sun Kewei with some dissatisfaction. If it weren't for his dissuasion, there would be something about Zhou Yuji there. Then he asked angrily:

"That means, you all agree with the launch of troops to attack? This will suppress their arrogance? Eliminate the unjust intentions of disobedients from far and near, right?"

He is so frustrated as an emperor!

Li Zicheng found that it was better not to go to Beijing than to go to Beijing? After he entered Beijing, not only did he have such difficulties, but even the way back to his hometown is broken.

Not only did the retreat be broken, but even people were blocking the big place in the capital.

Could it be that Emperor Chongzhen deliberately buried the trap!

He and that kid were buried in the pit? Want to bury himself in the capital?

If this is true, then the family named Zhu is really poisonous!

But then, Li Zicheng thought that this was just a random thought. If Chongzhen had such courage, how could he have the turn of the old Li family to sit on this dragon throne?

Song Xiance knew that the "Sacred Heart" must be extremely annoyed now, so he stopped talking and sat down with Sun Kewei. Li Zicheng knew that Gu Junen advocated attacking Zhu Ciying, so he turned his eyes to Gu Junen and said:

"When in Xiangjing, everyone was disagreeing about the next strategy of military use. It was Qing who suggested that Gu defeat Xi'an first, then advance to Youyan and break the capital directly. After arriving in Xi'an, should he go to the north to attack Youyan? The civil and military officials were different. It was Qing who advocated to strike while the iron was hot and cross the river to the north. Gu adopted Qing's suggestion twice to achieve today's success. How to deal with the current situation? This is a very urgent military and national plan. He cannot be stopped and hesitated to make things happen. Gu's intentions have been decided, so what are your clever ideas?"

Gu Junen understood that the emperor had decided to use military force to attack Zhu Ciying, and at this moment he was praised by the emperor again. He thought this was another great opportunity to make contributions, so he immediately stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, in my foolish opinion, Zhu Ciying has decided to be an enemy with me. He first cut off my way back and colluded with Wu Sangui to attack our army. He claimed to be the governor of the country with the so-called will, openly advocated the right and the far and near, called for the Ming Dynasty to restore the country, and mourned Emperor Chongzhen. Such a disobedient heart, if it cannot be destroyed as soon as possible, it will probably cause disobedient officials from far and near. Therefore, I repeatedly thought about it and asked Your Majesty to ascend the throne and immediately marched to the south. With Your Majesty's reputation of winning every battle, we will sweep away this intimate trouble in one fell swoop. In this way, those who intend to promote chaos in various places dare not act idle. Wu Sangui, who wants to take the opportunity to invade, must also wait and stop. The soldiers are very fast, and you must not hesitate to make mistakes. You dare to ask Your Majesty to break up!"

It’s hard to lead a team if people are unstable!

Li Zicheng nodded in agreement. After entering Beijing for a while, there were documents sent from all over the world every day. Most of them were sent from General Ze Houtian, the General Quan who was left in Chang'an, some were sent from various places, some were sent from Henan, some were sent from Wenshui Bo Chen Yongfu, who was stationed in Taiyuan, and some were sent from General Quan, Liu Fangliang, who was stationed in Baoding. These documents sent from far and near, and the news from various places mentioned the chaos of people. Many surrendered places drove away the officials of Dashun and welcomed the officials of the Ming Dynasty again.

This is true in Shanxi, Henan, and even in Shaanxi, it is very unstable. Why is this happening? In the final analysis, it is because Zhu Ciying, who held the will of the will as a banner, was there to supervise the country and use the emperor to claim to be the world. As a result, he never thought that those foolish people still believed him.

"Jiexuan, what do the military generals have to say?"

Liu Zongmin knew that Li Muji advocated being stern, but did not pay attention to it, and sat down and replied:

"The generals all advocate siege. The speed of the soldiers is, the faster the better."

Li Zicheng looked at Li Guo again and asked:

"Li Guo, what do you think?"

Li Guo stood up respectfully and said:

"Zhu Ni kept telling the world that we were thieves and decided to be enemies with Dashun, so there would be a battle between us. I thought it would be better to fight quickly than to fight late; delaying time would be unfavorable to me. However, after our army entered the capital, the military discipline was no longer as good as before. Although several people who violated military discipline had been killed, the destruction of military discipline was still happening. If we go out to the east quickly, the whole army and the enemy's audacious, the morale of the army would be able to be immediately cheered up. Therefore, I agree to send troops immediately. This matter is in front of us and there is no way to avoid it. As for the matter of the throne ceremony, please forgive me for the death penalty. You might as well postpone it for a while before making a long-term plan."

When Li Zicheng heard Li Guo's suggestion that he postpone the throne ceremony, his face suddenly became cold. As he was shocked, a murderous intent flashed in his heart. But he quickly calmed down again. Li Guo was his nephew and must be loyal to him, and as he said, soldiers are of great speed.

But... being an emperor is also very important!

If it weren't for ascending the throne in the capital, how could he have fought all the way to the capital? It would be great to be in his hometown in Chang'an.

Li Zicheng, who was unsure of his mind, immediately asked Gu Junen:

"Possition of the throne ceremony may shake the hearts of the people in the world and make me lose all the morale of the army. Mr. Gu, what do you have to say?"

What is his opinion? Of course he ascended the throne first. Who doesn’t see what Li Zicheng is thinking?

So, the civil and military officials of the Dashun Dynasty made a decision to ascend the throne first, and then head south to attack Zhu Ciying!
