After crossing over, he has no taboos among the zombies.

Qin He's premonition was right.

Five days, just five days, and the new emperor made Li Zicheng feel deeply powerless.

And this was done without sacrificing a single soldier.

The target was Liu Biao's 150,000 troops who had defected from the Shun army and were entrenched in Tianjin, unable to advance or retreat.

Originally, Li Chuang had nearly 600,000 soldiers and horses near the capital, which was a mighty and invincible force.

However, Liu Zongmin's death triggered the incident in which Liu Biao led 150,000 combat-capable troops to defect from the capital.

Then Li Zicheng was tricked by Cao's uncle and nephew, and destroyed the 200,000 troops besieging Bazhou.

After all this trouble, Li Zicheng only had 200,000 people left.

The situation is even uglier. In the north, south and east directions, there are either enemies or no one can tell friend from foe.

In front of him was a fortified city that was defended at the risk of hundreds of thousands of lives, and the crown prince of the previous dynasty even ascended the throne as emperor in the city.

At this point, let alone making progress, even self-preservation is becoming a problem.

And then, something happened to make matters worse.

A spy lurking in Liu Biao's army sent back a piece of news.

The young emperor, who had just ascended the throne a few days ago, actually sent a team of eunuchs to secretly arrive at Liu Biao's military camp, and appointed Liu Biao as the general of Shaanxi and Gansu, and promoted him to the right governor, a first-rank official. The generals under Liu Biao were also rewarded.

The most crucial thing was not what official position the young emperor appointed to Liu Biao, but that Liu Biao and others accepted the imperial edict, and the team of eunuchs safely left Liu Biao's camp and returned to the capital.

Good guy.

This was a terrible thing that happened to Li Chuang.

Liu Biao surrenders to Li!!

The situation suddenly became dire and could not be any worse.

Li Chuang could no longer sit still, and with Song Xiance constantly blowing cold wind beside him, Li Chuang hurriedly ordered the entire army to break camp and head west that night.

Just ran away.

If you don't escape now, the capital will become an iron bucket.

The three directions of northeast, south and north were all surrounded by enemies, and the only direction he had left to evacuate was the west, which was blocked by the Taihang Mountains. To retreat back to the Shanxi-Shaanxi Pass, he had to pass Juyongguan.

The worst thing is that the general at this pass was a surrendered general of the Le Dynasty.

If the news reached Juyongguan, the surrendered generals of the Le Dynasty would rebel again, and he would be trapped.

Li Chuang couldn't help but feel anxious.

If the green hills are left, there is no need to worry about no firewood.

Li Chuang had seen many storms and waves, and had been beaten many times and almost had to escape alone, but what was the result?

No matter how badly he loses, Li Zicheng can always make a comeback.

And now, he still has 200,000 soldiers and horses.

There are more than 200,000 troops in the south, and half of the eastern territory is occupied.

It remains to be seen who will win and who will lose.

With this plan in mind, Li Chuang crossed Juyongguan in just two days and returned to Shanxi and Shaanxi where he made his fortune.

……

Let’s turn our attention back to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao was actually confused. He got up from the beauty nest early in the morning, and one of his generals said that they had captured a group of eunuchs and said that they were messengers sent by Dali.

Liu Biao ran over and saw that it was indeed a group of eunuchs. Not only did they come people, but they also brought an imperial edict, directly appointing him as the general, regardless of whether Liu Biao was willing or not.

Liu Biao almost lost his temper at that time.

You're trying to surrender without any foreplay, like exchanging words or flirting with me.

I don't even know you, and you just come up here?

Isn’t that too rough?

Liu Biao wanted to resist at that time. I don’t care about my face. I just attack him as soon as he comes?

But when he thought of his situation, he hesitated.

There is absolutely no way that Li Chuang would accept him. To the north is the Dali border army, to the south is Shen Lian, and to the east is the vast ocean.

In a word, it is difficult to advance or retreat, and you will end up eating up all your savings.

Unable to make up his mind, he accepted the imperial edict and summoned his generals to discuss it.

As a result, this discussion almost led to a fight.

There were huge differences among the generals, some of whom thought this was an opportunity that could be exploited.

Some people thought that this was a trap. They had a deep hatred with Dali, and it was their own people who first broke into the palace and forced Chongzheng to death.

Dali's surrender is not sincere at all and will be settled in the future.

As a result, while they were discussing, the eunuch team ran away.

At first, everyone thought they were timid and afraid, and laughed at them, calling them eunuchs without balls, without thinking much about it.

Two days later, jaw-dropping news came.

Emperor Shun actually led his men to evacuate the capital overnight!

Not only did he withdraw, he also sent someone to deliver a letter, angrily scolding their ancestors for eighteen generations: "You are traitors and rebels who would rather surrender to Dali than to me. You are truly the scum of the righteous army. When I return to Shaanxi and Gansu, I will dig up your ancestors' graves."

When Liu Biao and others saw this, they suddenly realized what was happening.

Something terrible has happened. We've fallen into a trap.

A plan to sow discord!!

When that team of eunuchs entered their own military camp with the imperial edict and escaped safely, whether they surrendered or not was like mud falling into their crotch, it would be shit if it wasn't shit.

Good guy.

Emperor Shun was doomed when he ran away.

There is not even a safe flank nearby.

The Li army was everywhere, and all the cities that had surrendered to Dashun also rebelled.

We are in deep trouble and isolated without help.

Liu Biao hesitated for a few days and then gritted his teeth.

surrender!
