The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 355 Everyone gets what they need
In the Chinese army tent, all the generals of the Hanzhong army were wearing hoods and belts, standing on both sides with their swords drawn.

In the center of the military tent, a young man wearing a red arrow jacket was standing in it, standing with his hands tied.

Chen Wang was sitting high on the first seat, with his head slightly raised and his eyes looking down, overlooking the young man standing in the center of the military tent.

"I'm going to offer you advice in the Song Dynasty and be appointed as the military advisor of the Ten Thousand People's Army. It's a great honor to meet the general who is a thief."

The young man in the Chinese army's tent still remained calm under the pressure from the generals of the Chinese army.

"Song Xiance?"

Chen Wang's eyes moved slightly and he said doubtfully.

"Have you ever heard of my name, General Pingthief?"

The young man looked slightly moved and asked.

Chen Wang did not answer the young man's question.

However, in history, after joining Li Zicheng's army under the recommendation of Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance still offered many feasible strategies, and he was not just a deceiver.

The current situation was very strange. Although Song Xiance was kneeling on the ground, he still maintained his dignity, not much weaker.

Looking at Song Xiance standing in the tent, Chen Wang's eyebrows moved slightly, and Zhao Huailiang, who was standing below, immediately understood.

Historically, Li Zicheng followed the Song Dynasty's advice and adopted roundabout tactics, which made Yang Wenyue's army exhausted and worked hard for a long time without success.

Zhao Huailiang raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, holding the knife in his hand. He stepped forward and asked coldly.

The fierce killing intent filled the entire camp in an instant.

Zhao Huailiang has been on the battlefield for a long time, killing people like hemp. His voice is as cold as an ice knife scraping bones.

In layman's terms, it's a magic stick.

Song Xiance didn't hesitate at all. He apologized, bent his knees, bent his body, and kowtowed.

"Song Xiance, a grassroots citizen, pays homage to General Pingtai."

After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, most people in the Dashun regime fell into inflation and were intoxicated with victory. However, Song Xiance remained sober and constantly advised Li Zicheng.

However, there was nothing he could do to save the day. After Li Zicheng captured the city of Beijing, he seemed to be a different person...

Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an and established the Dashun regime. Song Xiance assisted Li Zicheng in formulating strategies, setting up officials to guard the land, and eradicating violence.

"Since we are here to pay our respects, why not kneel down?!"

Zhao Huailiang subconsciously turned his head to look at Chen Wang.

"I'm being rude."

Chen Wang retracted his thoughts. None of these things would happen anymore. Everything had changed beyond recognition.

Song Xiance was a native of Yongcheng, Henan Province. He was very knowledgeable and especially proficient in "magic". He made a living as a "warlock" and traveled around for a long time, divining good and bad luck for people.

Zhao Huailiang's expression was slightly condensed. He had received Chen Wang's instruction to deliberately say evil words to intimidate Song Xiance, to gain the upper hand and to overpower Song Xiance.

But what he didn't expect was that Song Xiance would just give in and kneel on the ground.

He is naturally very familiar with this great military advisor who was the founder of the People's Republic of China in history.

Chen Wang raised his hand and signaled Zhao Huailiang to retreat into the queue.

He looked at Song Xiance, who was kneeling on the ground, looking extremely respectful, and subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

"Song Xiance."

"The grass people are here."

Song Xiance knelt on the ground and answered respectfully with a respectful look.

"The inchworm bends to gain trust; the dragon and snake stings to protect oneself."

Chen Wang leaned forward slightly, looked down at Song Xiance who was kneeling below, and said with a smile.

"Being able to bend and stretch makes you a husband. Mr. Song is still able to remain calm even in the enemy's camp. He is really courageous."

"Song is truly lucky to be praised by General Pingthief."

Song Xiance smiled calmly and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Tall birds roost in good trees, and virtuous ministers choose wise leaders to serve as assistants. Mr. Song said this very well." Chen Wang looked straight down and carefully observed Song Xiance's expression.

"The humble tricks of the common people cannot escape the eyes of the generals. In the battle of Kaifeng, our army was not unjustly defeated."

Song Xiance shook his head helplessly and said with a somewhat self-deprecating tone.

Chen Wang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he leaned back again, leaning against the back of the chair, pressing the armrests of the seat with his hands.

"There is no need to say compliments and unnecessary nonsense."

"I like to be straightforward. Mr. Song has put himself in danger this time and has gone to great lengths to find me. What's the point?"

The night in the military camp did not accept the message brought from Suizhou, and sent a letter and news.

The news was that someone in the Wanmin Army wanted to see him.

The delivered letter was now placed on the desk in front of Chen Wang.

On the desk, there are a total of eighteen characters in the letter: "The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook it; the birds are gone, but the good bow is hidden; the enemy's country is destroyed, and the counselor is dead."

Song Xiance looked calm, bowed his hands, and bowed respectfully to Chen Wang again.

"When I came here, my lord told me that if I could see General Ping Zei, I must express my solemn thanks to General Ping Thie."

"Thank you, General Xie Ping, for showing mercy during the First Battle of Kaifeng."

After Song Xiance's words fell, the atmosphere in the tent became stagnant for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on Song Xiance at this moment.

"Zheng————"

The sound of friction of gold and stone slowly sounded, breaking the silence of the military tent, and the cold light of the sword slowly reflected on the clean ground inside the tent.

Zhao Huailiang and Zhao Huailiang had already pulled out the Yanling Swords from their waists, but their eyes were not on Song Xiance, but on Chen Wang.

With just one look from Chen Wang, they would send Song Xiance to hell immediately.

But Chen Wang did not respond to the gazes of Zhao Huailiang and Zhao Huailiang. He still sat on the seat, calmly looked at Song Xiance who was kneeling below, and said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness King Xin is really too polite. With just a little effort, it would be good for me to let you go."

Song Xiance's expression changed slightly and his eyes flickered. Chen Wang's words finally made it impossible for Song Xiance to remain calm.

Song Xiance raised his head and looked at the generals in the tent.

Chen Wang's response to him was really shocking. Chen Wang actually called Li Yan King Xin, and he did so in front of so many people, and he made no secret of his planning for the Battle of Kaifeng.

If it were known to outsiders, it would definitely shock everyone.

Chen Wang did not shy away from the generals in the military tent. Could it be...

"I've said it before. I like to be straightforward. My patience is limited. Now I'll give you another chance to explain what your King Xin wants to discuss with me."

Chen Wang looked down at Song Xiance with an indifferent expression.

Song Xiance looked solemn, looked up at Chen Wang, and said in a deep voice.

"General Pingtai speaks quickly, and I also speak frankly."

“Since ancient times, the rise and fall of emperors has been accompanied by the omens of the people.”

"With continuous natural disasters, we know that destiny is easier."

"The Ming Dynasty is decayed, the government is dim, the people are in dire straits, there are internal worries and external dangers, and the building is about to collapse."

"It's not destiny, and it's up to you to accept its destiny. That's why those who know destiny don't stand under a rock wall. Those who die while doing their best are the right destiny; those who shackle the dead are not the right destiny."

"My lord knows that General Ping Zei has the ambition to conquer the world and conquer China."

Song Xiance paused, glanced left and right, and then continued.

"General Chen's words just now corroborate my lord's views."

"General Chen has a reputation for being benevolent, fair, strict, and honest. It must be because he is extremely disappointed with the current situation."

"We rose up not because we wanted to bring trouble to the world, but because we had no choice but to survive."

"So my lord wants to join forces with General Chen."

　Today’s word count is a bit short because of some unexpected circumstances, so I’ll make it up right away, tomorrow! Just tomorrow!
