More than a month later, he left the capital and came to Pengcheng to preside over the overall tour. After receiving the news that Wu Sangui led the troops to surrender Yan Ting, he couldn't help being a little surprised: "Wu Sangui surrendered Yan Ting? This is really unexpected! He is Good vision, knowing who to follow has a better future.”

Not long after that, when Yuanche swept across the southwest, went down the river and completely defeated Zhang Xianzhong, subdued the rest of the army, went north and entered Henan, and the Datong army in Guanzhong also invaded Shanxi, preparing to cut off Li Zicheng's retreat. Li Zicheng's main force was also Go to Shanhaiguan, and start a decisive battle with the coalition forces of Yan Ting and Wu Sangui.

In this battle, although Li Zicheng had the advantage in military strength, he was defeated in the end by the elite Guanning iron cavalry and Yan Ting's elite cavalry outside the Great Wall.

Li Zicheng, who fled back to the capital in embarrassment, did not forget to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. He searched the capital fiercely, and then withdrew from the capital, which was doomed to be impossible to hold, and wanted to go to Shanxi and return to Henan, his old home of management.

Yan Ting did not continue to pursue, because the main force of the Datong Army had already closed in from Shanxi and Henan, and opened a big net, waiting for Li Zicheng to throw himself into the net.Without the foundation of the territory, the defeat of the Chuang army is a foregone conclusion.

But at such a critical moment of life and death, perhaps due to the stimulating influence of ups and downs, facing Li Yan who repeatedly advised and painstakingly planned for the army, Li Zicheng not only did not listen to his good advice, but under the instigation of Niu Jinxing and Liu Zongmin Xia became more and more suspicious of him, more and more dissatisfied, and even suspected that he had long been in collusion with Zhou You, intending to rebel, and wanted to kill him.

In this way, Li Yan, who took the initiative to lead troops back to Henan to fight Yuan Che, not only did not receive reinforcements from Li Zicheng, but became like an abandoned child.Li Zicheng, who thinks he is smart, feels that Henan is not a place to defend, and he wants to retreat to Shanxi to gain a foothold.

Not only that, Li Zicheng also ordered Liu Fangliang to cut off Li Yan's retreat, ordered him to attack and destroy Li Yan's troops, and killed Li Yan, a "rebel".

When Zhou You got the news and rushed to Henan, Li Yan was surrounded by Yuan Che and Liu Fangliang and fell into a desperate situation.But even so, Zhou You came in person and asked Yuan Chengzhi to persuade him to surrender, but Li Yan was still unwilling to surrender and wanted to commit suicide.

In Liu Fangliang's camp, facing Zhou You who led a few elite and expert entourages, Liu Fangliang had wisely chosen to surrender.

On the one hand, Li Zicheng's suspicion and pursuit of Li Yan made him sad. On the other hand, he also saw that Li Zicheng's situation was over, and Zhou You also promised to send someone to rescue his family members detained by Li Zicheng as soon as possible. Li Zicheng to die?

If Li Zicheng really trusted him, he would not have detained his family members, and would not have allowed him to lead an army to hunt down Li Yan alone. How is this different from sending him to death?

"He wants to die?" When he learned that Li Yan and his wife were going to take poison to commit suicide in order to be loyal, Zhou You, who was in Liu Fangliang's army tent, couldn't help but frowned, feeling a little annoyed in his heart: "This kid, when he is What about Wen Tianxiang? How pedantic!"

"Master, I think he is determined to be buried with Li Zicheng. Let's not bother. No matter how talented he is, what's the use if he refuses to be used by us?" He Tieshou couldn't help but said, before In Li Yan's camp, if she, the leader of the Five Poison Sect who is good at detoxifying poisons, was there, Li Yan would have been poisoned and died.

Zhou You shook his head and sneered: "Not willing to be used by me? Okay! Isn't he loyal to Li Zicheng? Let someone tell him that as long as he is willing to join me and work for me, when Li Zicheng is caught, I can let him Die easily, and even spare his life. Otherwise, I will cut Li Zicheng into pieces and shatter his bones into ashes."

Hearing Zhou You's words, whether it was He Tieshou or Liu Fangliang and other newly attached generals of the Datong Army, their faces changed slightly and their hearts were awe-inspiring.At this time, they understood what the Emperor's Wrath was.At the same time, I couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, Zhou You really cared about Li Yan.

Sure enough, this trick worked surprisingly well for the stubborn Li Yan.In fact, for Li Yan, he already knew very well that Zhou You was the real lord. Surrendering Zhou You was the wisest choice, and it would also allow the world to unify and restore peace as soon as possible.With Zhou You's emphasis on him, he will be able to better fulfill his ideal of assisting the Ming Lord, helping the world and saving the people in the future.

It's just that Li Yan, who took Yuan Chonghuan as his example, couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart for a while because of his loyalty to the king, and Zhou You's words gave him an excuse to go down the donkey's slope.

While Liu Fangliang and Li Yan chose to surrender backwards, Li Zicheng who entered Shanxi also fell into a quagmire. No matter where he went, he was not welcome. Rogue invaders.

In fact, the Chuang army after the defeat was actually a group of rogues, with no military discipline at all. They were panicked like bereaved dogs, and wherever they passed was like locusts passing through.Such an army can't really gain a foothold anywhere.

Under the entanglement and siege of the Datong army, coupled with the siege of the elite cavalry sent by Yan Ting, Li Zicheng's remnant army was defeated again and again, completely destroyed, and Li Zicheng also disappeared in the chaos. .

After getting the news of Li Zicheng's defeat and disappearance, Zhou You couldn't help feeling that his fate was really hard.But that's fine, a missing Li Zicheng is no longer a threat.Similarly, such a result is also the best situation for Li Yan, he can play for Zhou You in the future without any psychological burden.

After the fall of Li Zicheng, Zhou You also took advantage of the situation to proclaim himself emperor in Luoyang, established a new dynasty of Datong, and rebuilt Luoyang's city walls and palaces with labor relief.

With the establishment of the new dynasty, several provinces in the southeast and Zhili in the north also chose to submit one after another, so that the new dynasty of Datong truly replaced the Ming court and established its dominance over the whole country.

Immediately afterwards, just three years later, the new dynasty of Datong, with Yan Ting as its commander, overthrew the Manchus outside the pass, allowing the Datong court to restore its rule over the Northeast and the Mongolian tribes outside the Great Wall.

More than ten years later, with the recuperation of the Datong court for many years and the rapid recovery of national power, after successively destroying and conquering several small border countries in the northeast and south, with sufficient money and food support, they finally defeated the entrenched in the northwest, The Mongolian tribes in Qinghai-Tibet regained thousands of miles of territory in the northwest, making the territory of the new dynasty surpass the Ming Dynasty, which is comparable to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Zhou You, who entrusted the government to Li Yan, Yu Wenyue, Yan Ting, Yuan Che and other civil and military officials, passed the throne to him and Xiao Yu's son Zhou Cheng within a few years after becoming emperor, and let him Xiao Yu came to assist the still young Zhou Cheng.

Zhou You, who no longer has much interest in being an emperor, has real trust in the civil servants and military generals under his opponents, and he has vigorously delegated power, and he can fully trust their loyalty to him.

Even if Yan Ting and the others leave this world in the future, with Li Yan here and Xiao Yu to assist the government, Zhou You is not worried at all that other civil and military figures who have accepted the Datong thought will threaten Zhou Cheng's throne and shake the rule of the new Datong dynasty.

It is precisely because of these loyal civil and military assistance that the Datong New Dynasty, which was founded only a dozen years ago, was able to conquer the entire Northwest, which made Zhou Cheng, who had just grown up and took charge of the government, reach the peak of his prestige.
