When the lanterns first came on, Chang Yu woke up slowly. Perhaps he was a little sleepy and turned over and sat up. He didn't know where he was after a long time. Qing Yi, who was meditating outside, heard the movement and gently opened the door and took a look: "The shopkeeper's
You woke up".
"Um, Qingyi, where is this?" Chang Yu was still confused, Qingyi was startled: "Xuzhou General Military Mansion."
Oh! Chang Yu woke up in an instant, heyed and couldn't help but slapped his forehead: "They are all going to have a rest, why don't you go?" They were referring to Su Jing, Chen Wangting and other personal attendants, who were extremely tired from the long journey, Su Jing
He shook his head slightly and said, "I can just meditate."
Chang Yu knew that her cultivation method was different, and that she could meditate and enter trance, which could relieve fatigue better than sleeping. However, he still asked Qing Yi to go back to her room to rest for a while, and then walked out of the room. The sky was completely dark, but the lights were on in the General Military Mansion.
Colorful and festive.
After stretching, he felt that the weather was not too hot. He glanced around and saw the bright lights in the lobby of the rear mansion, then walked over there and saw Gao Jie and his wife, Chang Yanling, and Li Muchian having dinner.
"Eat good wine and good food secretly, and don't even call me, tsk tsk tsk." Chang Yu gave Chang Yanling a gift and teased Gao Jie. Everyone chuckled, and Gao Jie said: "Brother, you don't drink either, and after seeing this thing,
I'm afraid you won't even be able to eat the food." He pointed to the case beside him.
Chang Yu glanced at it and saw that it was a piece of paper. He reached out and took it. He frowned as soon as he read the first line: "When did the thief's message come?"
"Before the city gate closed at night, someone posted it all over the street. The guards found it and sent it over. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, they didn't wake you up. Just take a look and talk about it." Chang Yanling sighed softly, and Chang Yu slowly
He sat down slowly and took a closer look.
This is not actually a proclamation, but it can also be called a proclamation, because the original intention of the proclamation was a government announcement for recruitment and announcement, but it gradually evolved into a document to denounce, criticize and expose crimes.
This big-character poster is neither a criticism nor a denunciation. It is an announcement in the name of the Dashun Kingdom. It can also be called the official newspaper of the Dashun Kingdom!
The content is simple and direct, and it is to tell the world: The wars of more than ten years have caused a loss of life. As for who is who, let’s put it aside for the time being. Anyway, I, Li Zicheng, am compassionate and compassionate. I really can’t bear that the people of the world will suffer from war disasters again, so I agree with my utmost sincerity.
The imperial court made peace and regarded peace as the most important thing to save the people of Li from fire and water. Therefore, it was announced to the world and allowed to be witnessed by the world.
In order to show sincerity, we will stop any military action during the peace talks. We also hope that the court will do the same and not provoke conflicts and damage the peace talks environment...
After a while, he said, probably, don't take action and keep talking. If you take action, it will be your fault. It means that you are not sincere in making peace, then you will become a sinner in the world!
That's it? Chang Yu finished reading, shook the big-character poster in his hand, glanced at the people in front of him, and landed on Gao Jie's face: "Brother, why did you say that I can't eat after reading this piece of paper?"
Gao Jie raised his eyebrows: "The news of the peace talks has been circulating for months. The government and the public are very well-informed and know about this. Why would the intruder do this again to tell the world?"
Chang Yu chuckled and turned to look at Li Muchian: "What does the Taoist think?"
"Pindao has just told the Marquis and General Gao that this move has the flavor of threatening the people of the world to order the imperial court." Li Muchian chuckled and said, "This way it will appear that he is the trespasser and is on the side of justice. It is he who
The one who proposes peace talks first makes the people think that he is the one who cares about the people of the world. In this way, he has the initiative. If the court proposes harsh conditions, he will say that the court is not sincere in the peace talks, and the people of the world will scold the court.
Deliberately making things difficult seems to be the fault of the imperial court."
Chang Yu nodded slightly: "Retreat in order to advance, Lao Litou is so clever with this trick." As he spoke, the corner of his mouth curled up: "Winning the hearts and minds of the people is the second most important thing. He has a bigger role this time. The Taoist priest didn't see it.
What?"
Li Muchian narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly. Chang Yu looked at Chang Yanling again: "What do you think, uncle?"
Chang Yanling shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If Daoist Li can't even see it, don't make things difficult for my uncle."
"Show off, hurry up and say it quickly." Gao Jie looked impatient. Mrs.
Oops, Li Muxian slapped his thigh: "Why did you forget this?" Chang Yanling was still confused. Over there, Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing looked at each other and nodded slightly, that's it.
You must know that the situation on the other side of the Yellow River has basically taken shape at this time, and Li Yan has no intention and ability to take further actions. The only variable left is Tongguan City, but if the talks are not broken, basically there will be no rash action.
of.
But Li Zicheng's rear areas, Jingzhou and Xiangyang, were different. Not to mention that brothers Gao Qiyuan and Wang Guangen were poking at him every day. After hearing that peace was to be negotiated and that Li Zicheng had been captured,
Zuo Liangyu from Wuchang could run faster than a rabbit and quickly recovered these two places.
You must know that Zuo Liangyu has an army of 200,000 people. No matter how wet he is, he still has an army of 100,000 people. If the rebels swarm around and fight when they hear the rumors and are panic-stricken, the consequences will be quite disastrous!
Although after the surrender, these two places must still be returned to the imperial court. The problem is that they take them down and you return them are two different concepts and two prices. What's more, if the negotiation breaks down, the retreat will be cut off.
.
It can be said that Jingzhou and Xiangyang are very important to Li Zicheng. Peace talks can be used as bargaining chips, and failure of talks can be used as a retreat, so they cannot be lost no matter what!
So Li Zicheng thought of a way and posted big-character posters everywhere to tell the world that I proposed peace first and I was sincere. Whoever takes action will destroy the peace talks. He has identified many people in the government and the public who want peace talks. After all, the benefits outweigh the benefits.
Disadvantages, so if the imperial court starts to attack Xiangyang and Jingzhou, without him having to say anything, everyone in the imperial court will be scolded.
"This wolf is really cunning. If you see through his trick, how can you break it?" Chang Yanling was so angry after hearing the explanation. Unexpectedly, Chang Yu's answer made him dumbfounded: "You can't break it, this is a conspiracy.
It can be seen but cannot be broken.”
"Ah, if you can't break it, doesn't that mean he succeeded?" Chang Yanling was horrified. Chang Yu looked at Li Muchian with a smile: "There is no need to break it. Even if he succeeds, it still depends on who succeeds."
.
Li Muchian's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Chang Yu with a look of admiration: "Pindao is convinced today. It turns out that the Governor has already planned this."
Now not only Chang Yanling couldn't understand, but Gao Jie and his wife were also confused: "Please ask the Taoist priest to relieve your worries."
Chang Yu's nagging look is actually just a pretense that can be easily understood. To put it bluntly, it's easy to understand. So what if Li Zicheng succeeds, just ask Zuo Liangyu to suspend the attack. If the negotiation is concluded, he will accept it on the spot.
If it collapses, just beat it down again. Anyway, it is the same to the imperial court, but the nature is different to Zuo Liangyu.
What's more, Li Zicheng's success is not Chang Yu's success. The purpose from the beginning was to lower the price and force Li Zicheng back to the negotiation table. Now isn't he panicked, anxious, and obediently back? He has told the world
, then don’t hide it from anyone, talk openly!
"If Zuo Liangyu looks back and wakes up, he has been used as a chess piece by the Governor from the beginning to the end. I don't know what to think." Li Muxian's words made everyone laugh, and Chang Yu said: "
I don’t know how to thank our family, but no matter what he thinks, he must be honest!"
"Domineering!" Chang Yanling praised: "You really have the demeanor of our ancestor Chang Shiwan. If Zuo Liangyu refuses to obey, he will beat him!" After saying that, he raised his cup to drink, Chang Yu quickly picked up the teacup and drank after him.
: "My uncle was so complimentary that outsiders would laugh after hearing it."
"Where are the outsiders here? They are all members of our family." Mrs.
Gao Jie sighed next to him: "Last year when I went south to fight against the Baiwang tribe, I had a chat with Lao Huang. Lao Huang said that the young governor was passed down from generation to generation and passed down the family tradition of their Chang family..."
"Very vividly." Mrs.
word".
"Hey, anyway, I'm saying that you look very much like Kaiping Wang Chang Shiwan!" Gao Jie said hehe, and Chang Yu said, "I'd like to hear what Mr. Huang said about the resemblance."
"There are many similarities. King Kaiping is invincible in battles. He is also brave and likes to go into battle personally to attack the enemy. In addition to these, there is one thing that is most similar, that is, he especially likes to kill prisoners!"
Phew, Chang Yu almost spit out a mouthful of tea. He glanced at Chang Yanling in embarrassment, but saw him laughing loudly and stroking his hands repeatedly: "Yes, yes! This is indeed a family tradition passed down from our ancestors!"
"
Chang Yu was really helpless. When he debuted, he did kill too hard. He once threatened not to take any prisoners. He even went so far as to kill prisoners outside Taiyuan City and Baoding City at the foot of the Great Wall.
So much so that everyone in the government and the public knew that the eunuch of Dongchang was a murderous maniac, and they called him the God of War in a nice way, or the butcher and the butcher in a blunt way.
In history, Chang Yuchun was also such a master. Killing prisoners, killing surrendered troops, and massacring the city were all routine operations. The killing was so heavy that Zhu Yuanzhang could not bear to stand it. He persuaded him several times, but he always forgot after hearing it.
, for this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to let Xu Da keep an eye on him, which shows that Chang Yuchun's murderous intention was serious.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors bring disaster to the country and the people, no matter how much they are killed, it doesn't matter how much they are killed," Chang Yu whispered, and was immediately applauded by Chang Yanling and Gao Jie!
