Chapter 88 Invest in Li Zicheng

Zhang Biwu looked at the vast land and said, "Protect what I should protect, and be worthy of the blood flowing on me. This is what I should do. I never care whether I will succeed! The same is true for protecting Princess Kunxing. When I promise to protect her and make her happy, I have to work hard to create a paradise for her! Even if I am hated by her and scolded by her, and the world will laugh at me and insult me, so what?"

When Huang Qi heard Zhang Biwu say this, he fully understood and he didn't say much. Zhang Biwu is such a person. Otherwise, how could so many people betray him?

Rumors spread in the capital that Zhang Biwu wanted to retake Princess Kunxing. Now he is working with Sun Chuanting to eliminate Li Zicheng to make great contributions, so that he can prepare for marrying the princess. The most important thing about this news is that it reaches Zhou Shixian's ears.

Everyone in the capital knew that Chongzhen intended to call Zhou Shixian as his son-in-law, but this matter was not a foregone conclusion. As long as Zhang Biwu could still make unparalleled achievements, Chongzhen might change for the sake of the country.

For this reason, Zhou Shixian was naturally anxious, and he even stepped up his efforts to please Princess Kunxing. He also believed that if he could defeat the great hero Zhang Biwu and win the beauty, he would be kind to this beauty forever! But he didn't know that Zhou Shixian had fallen into the situation where Zhang Biwu was in order to make Princess Kunxing happy.

In fact, this is also a beautiful trap. If you like beautiful women, you can marry beautiful women. Isn’t that a beautiful trap? This is as your wish! It’s also a ghost under the peony flowers. Isn’t this what you are passionate about? Zhou Shixian!

Zhang Biwu rushed back to Lingbao with great speed. If he could leave the capital, he would be happier than anyone else. He would be delayed? I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed!

As soon as he returned to Lingbao, Qin Huaiyu and others led a group of people to welcome Zhang Biwu. Zhang Biwu was not sure how happy he was, but looked at them. Now that he was back to his territory, it would be difficult for Chongzhen to capture him again!

Zhang Biwu just looked at Qin Huaiyu, and Qin Huaiyu also looked at Zhang Biwu. No one had to say anything. As long as they looked at each other, they could know each other's friendship. The heartless letter written by Qin Huaiyu was for Zhang Biwu to come back alive, and Zhang Biwu finally wanted to keep Qin Huaiyu's status as the eldest wife of the whole country even though he died, it also expressed his love for Qin Huaiyu.

Qin Huaiyu looked at so many people, of course she had to be a little worried. She blushed and said, "Husband, there are so many people here, and there are important things..."

Zhang Biwu nodded, and at this time he saw his son! "Dad!" Xiao Xiaoyao ran over quickly and threw himself into Zhang Biwu's arms. Zhang Biwu picked up Xiao Xiaoyao and kissed him enough. In prison, Zhang Biwu thought he was dead and could not see his good son, but now he held his son in his arms, which felt great! Very happy!

At this time, Gu Yanwu, Xiong Jianhao, Han Runchang and others all signaled to Zhang Biwu that there must be something important to negotiate.

Zhang Biwu had to gather his family and put them in another place. He and Gu Yanwu and the others were asking for important matters.

It was indeed nothing wrong! Li Zicheng secretly sent someone to prevent Zhang Biwu from going against them, and at least he should remain neutral. On the way back, Zhang Biwu also met Li Yan, who had been martyred for a long time, on the way. What Li Yan said was what Zhang Biwu heard now, and he should remain neutral.

As for Sun Chuanting, he had sent someone to prepare for the war first and be prepared to fight to the death of Li Zicheng. He also asked Zhang Biwu Keyue to meet with Sun Chuanting.

Li Yan's plan was to ask Zhang Biwu to pretend to meet with Sun Chuanting, so that Sun Chuanting could send troops from Tongguan quickly. As long as Sun Chuanting came out, Li Zicheng could destroy him.

Zhang Biwu sneered and said, "Li Zicheng is putting me on the fire! If Sun Chuanting and I come out of seclusion together, I will suddenly escape. Li Zicheng eliminated Sun Chuanting, and Sun Chuanting's defeat will have something to do with me! Li Zicheng made everything public, then I am the one of Li Zicheng! This is something that cannot be done! After all, although the Ming Dynasty was a big loss in the north, it was still very firm in the hearts of the people in the south!"

Xiong Jianhao continued Zhang Biwu's words: "Yes! We shouldn't be tangled with Li Zicheng, but after Li Zicheng eliminated Sun Chuanting, Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops would immediately attack us. At that time, we will not be Li Zicheng's opponents! We will definitely be eliminated!"

"Yes! That's right!" Zhang Biwu pointed at Xiong Jianhao, "Along the way, I was thinking about how to resolve Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng is no longer the Li Zicheng of the past. He could tolerate it before, but now he absolutely cannot! Alas! My heart is in chaos!"

Han Runchang said, "Where is Zuo Liangyu?" Zhang Biwu replied, "Actually, I have thought about Zuo Liangyu. In the past, I wanted to rely on him as a big tree to rely on him. So that he could lead troops to Nanyang, so that after Li Zicheng eliminated Sun Chuanting, he was eager to enter the pass and enter Qin territory, and would not destroy me. However, Zuo Liangyu's adopted daughter was abducted by Li Zicheng when she was in Nanyang and was placed in Li Zicheng's army as a hostage. In addition, Li Zicheng's strength was too strong, so Zuo Liangyu did not dare to fight with him, and was afraid that his daughter would have something to do, so Zuo Liangyu would not come! This is not true, and I don't know what to do!"

After saying this, they were really worried. How could they avoid Sun Chuanting and attack Li Zicheng together, and how could they avoid Li Zicheng's attack after Li Zicheng defeated Sun Chuanting? Everyone was thinking of a good idea.

Just as they were thinking, Sun Chuanting's army had gathered in Tongguan and sent people to inform Zhang Biwu that he would win the battle in Tongguan, Lingbao and other places, and win the flag, which would encourage morale to eliminate Li Zicheng. Because Zhang Biwu's Lingbao already had Li Zicheng's troops, Zhang Biwu and Li Zicheng's troops went to war.

He was moving forward step by step! Moreover, Zhang Biwu also thought that even if Chongzhen put him back from Yanjing, he would not trust him. If he did not obey Sun Chuanting's words, then Sun Chuanting might first attack Zhang Biwu, which was not what Zhang Biwu wanted to see.

Sun Chuanting's people are still here, and Li Zicheng's people are here again, reminding Zhang Biwu that he must not be with Sun Chuanting, otherwise, destroying Sun Chuanting will also destroy him. If it weren't for the love he had in the past, he wouldn't have been so tolerant of Zhang Biwu.

Both sides were rushing to ultimatums. How can Zhang Biwu deal with them? Time is tighter every day!

Zhang Biwu decided that Lingbao and Li Zicheng's men must fight! There is no need to go to Sun Chuanting, but Li Zicheng must go! As long as he surrenders to Li Zicheng and lets him eliminate his hostility towards him, he can preserve his strength and lay the foundation for future progress.

The problem is that it is not easy to hide from Sun Chuanting! Zhang Biwu also knew that Sun Chuanting would not agree that Zhang Biwu and him were the same, as long as Zhang Biwu could remain neutral, this would be enough. Zhang Biwu would also remain neutral. He had to take a step to resolve Li Zicheng's hostility.

As for Sun Chuanting, if he knew, he would not be able to move Zhang Biwu for the time being. Moreover, Li Zicheng's men were not far from here, so he had to take the last move to Li Zicheng, which was not something Sun Chuanting was afraid of.

Zhang Biwu headed towards Li Zicheng's station overnight. It seemed that he was taking a risk. If he was detained by Li Zicheng, everything would be over. But he was sure, and Li Yan was there anyway!

Niu Jinxing knew about Zhang Biwu's coming, and Niu Jinxing also understood that Zhang Biwu would first find Li Yan, and he would do something about this matter.

Zhang Biwu went to see Li Zicheng under the introduction of Li Yan and Song Xiance. When Li Zicheng saw Zhang Biwu, he immediately said, "Zhang Biwu, are you here to surrender to me?"

Zhang Biwu knew that if he didn't say he surrendered and didn't take Li Zi as the leader, he wouldn't be able to go back alive. He had to say that maybe these would be rumored by Li Zicheng to let Chongzhen know and Sun Chuanting know, but there was nothing he could do!

Zhang Biwu said, "Yes! I am here to surrender to the king. Who knows that the Ming Dynasty has exhausted its energy, and the new master of the world will be the King of Xinshun! Of course, I want to follow the heavens and respond to people, and I will never go against the heavens!"

What Zhang Biwu said really surprised Li Zicheng. He originally thought that Zhang Biwu would not be so straightforward and would be ambiguous, but he did not expect his answer to be like this! Do you really have to break away from the Ming Dynasty and join him under Li Zicheng's command? But that's true. The Ming Dynasty was extremely affectionate towards Zhang Biwu. Zhang Biwu was almost killed many times, and it was reasonable for him to betray the Ming Dynasty.

Li Zicheng was very satisfied with Zhang Biwu's answer and said, "Okay! Guoxiong, in fact, I have always admired you and always wanted you to fight for me in Dashun!"

Zhang Biwu replied: "Of course! But I am a Ming minister, and although Chongzhen has little affection for me, he repeatedly wants to kill me and destroy my nine clans, I should not be nostalgic for him, but I have the reputation of a monarch and a minister after all, and I cannot ignore it! Although I am a martial artist and are not influenced by the Confucianism of loyalty to the emperor, I have been raised by Guan Gong no matter how much I say, Guan Gong has to talk about his loyalty and righteousness!"

During the Ming Dynasty, worship of Guan Gong was very common, and most people worshiped Guan Gong, and Guan Gong Temple was everywhere throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Even Li Zicheng highly praised Guan Gong. When he led his army to capture Luoyang to kill King Fu for the Fulu Banquet, he stationed troops in Guanling and strictly protected Guanling and did not allow anyone to destroy Guanling. He also went to worship Guan Gong himself to pray for Guan Gong's blessing so that he could destroy Luoyang. In the end, he succeeded.
