As he said this, he suddenly thought of traveling around, and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, is there any new news about Li Yan under Li Zicheng?"

"Li Yan?" Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled and said: "My lord, why do you care so much about this Li Yan? He is a rare talent under Li Zicheng, but he is also very loyal to Li Zicheng. Now, of course, he still works for Li Zicheng everywhere

Rush around to serve, recruit people, and collect supplies!”

Then Xiao Yu added: "By the way, Li Yan's wife Hong Niangzi is even more of a woman! They and their wife are also responsible for the intelligence forces under Li Zicheng. Unfortunately, Li Chuang's army is very powerful in intelligence.

The force is still too weak, and the main focus is on the court and the army, so it poses no threat to us at all."

"In terms of intelligence, they are far behind the Jin Yiwei, let alone us," Zhou You shook his head and smiled.

"Lord Mingjian!" Xiao Yu also nodded and smiled: "Not long ago, I did get the news that the commander of the Jinyiwei An Jianqing had planned to capture Li Yan and the others. Fortunately, Mr. Yuan took the people there in time.

We rescued each other, and finally we were safe."

Zhou You suddenly frowned when he heard this and said, "Oh? Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? And why didn't you let our people help save Li Yan? You should know that he is a talent that I have set my sights on for a long time."

"Because of this, I wanted to see how capable Li Yan is, but the result was really disappointing." As she said this, Zhou You frowned slightly and looked at her with a cold look.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but lower her head slightly and said: "Master, I also ordered people to rescue people, but they are not as fast as Young Master Yuan."

After hearing her explanation, Zhou You looked slightly calm and said: "Everyone's abilities are different. Li Yan's inability to deal with Jin Yiwei only shows that he is not a qualified spy, but it does not prove that he does not have enough ability.

There is no need for such temptations in the future!"

"Yes, lord!" Xiao Yu responded respectfully, then turned his head and looked around as if he had realized something. He saw a carrier pigeon landing on the top of a carriage parked not far away, and then stood guard beside the carriage.

The coachman who was sitting there hurriedly took the letter from the pigeon's leg on the roof of the car.

After Xiao Yu took the letter from the maid who hurriedly took it and delivered it and read it, Zhou You couldn't help but ask, "What's the news?"

"Good news! Great news! My lord, this is urgent news from outside the customs. The emperor of the Manchu Tatars outside the customs, Huang Taiji, is dead." Xiao Yu smiled and said quickly: "Congratulations, lord!"

Seeing that Zhou You only raised his eyebrows lightly but didn't look surprised at all, Xiao Yu couldn't help but said: "My lord, you don't seem so happy. Isn't it bad that Huang Taiji died? He is much more powerful than Chongzhen! Yes.

A rare hero!"

"He is dead, but the Manchu and Qing Dynasties just changed their emperor. The Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are still elite, and there are also many generals who are good at fighting." Zhou You shook his head and asked, "By the way, how did Huang Taiji die?"

"This... the information didn't go into detail. It seems that he was assassinated to death," Xiao Yu said: "Although Huang Taiji is older than Chongzhen, he is not too old. He is still in his prime. I have not heard of any illnesses.

, died suddenly, and there was a lot of chaos in the palace in Shengjing the night he died, and then the whole city was under martial law. It seems that someone should have assassinated him, and it was successful. My lord, Mr. Yuan seems to have gone there just in time.

Shengjing, will you..."

Zhou You said noncommittally: "If it's really him, then this kid has finally done something truly sensational in the world, enough to leave his name in history. His father's spirit in heaven is enough to comfort him."

"What a pity! Yuan Chengzhi's vision is a bit poor after all. It would be better if he could kill Dorgon as well," Zhou You said and couldn't help but shook his head and smiled: "But the current situation is not bad!

Huang Taiji is dead, and the struggle for the throne is enough to cause internal fighting within the Manchu Qing Dynasty."

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes! If Huang Taiji is dead, his son Hauge and his brother Dorgon will inevitably fight, and even start a fight within the entire Eight Banners. However, according to the news I got, I'm afraid this Hauge

We may not be able to win over Dorgon. With Dorgon’s influence among the Tatars, although there is hope for him to win the throne, there should be many who don’t want him to sit on the throne.”

"Then do you think Dorgon will eventually become the new emperor of the Tatars?" Zhou You asked.

"My lord, are you saying that Dorgon might not covet the throne?" Xiao Yu's expression changed when he heard this, and she couldn't help but frowned: "If this is true, then this Dorgon will be difficult to deal with. But, he is really

Can you make such a wise decision without being moved by the throne?"

Zhou You smiled calmly: "Don't forget, he is Prince Rui of the Qing Dynasty. Don't underestimate the wisdom of your opponent! When we regard our opponent as a fool, then we become real fools."

"But there is no need to worry too much," Zhou You then added: "Anyway, Huang Taiji died at the wrong time, too suddenly. His death like this will inevitably shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and cause a power struggle. Even if there are many

Ergon chose to retreat in order to advance, but the seeds of internal strife will eventually be laid."

Xiao Yu nodded slightly in agreement, and then continued: "My lord, the internal fighting between the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is also a good opportunity for us. We just take the opportunity to unify the Central Plains. We can even find opportunities during the internal fighting between the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

Give them a fatal blow."

"It's a good opportunity, but it's not that easy to dominate the world in a short period of time, and the power transition between the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will not last long," Zhou You shook his head lightly and said, "So, if you want to take advantage of the internal fighting to give a fatal blow,

You have to seize the opportunity to attack. Otherwise, it will prompt them to end their internal fighting as soon as possible and become a rope, which will be self-defeating!"

Xiao Yu, who frowned slightly after hearing this, couldn't help but said: "My lord, I'm afraid the general may not be able to grasp the sense of proportion here. Do you think you need to ask Yu Wenyue to help him?"

"You don't need to remind me about this. If nothing else happens, Yu Wenyue should have arrived outside the Great Wall by now," Zhou You said with a smile.

"That's good!" When Xiao Yu heard this, he smiled in relief and said, "My lord, with Yu Wenyue coming, I believe that the north and the outside world don't need my lord to worry too much."

Zhou You was noncommittal: "You are all good at gathering intelligence and conquering the world. However, governing the world is not what Yu Wenyue is good at, and it is much more difficult than conquering the world. This is why I need someone like Li Yan.

The reason is talent, and the more the merrier.”

"To put it this way, Li Yan is indeed very capable. With his help, Li Zicheng's army has indeed become more regular," Xiao Yu said and continued: "By the way, my lord, among the civil servants and generals under Li Zicheng, except for

Li Yan, Liu Fangliang, and Song Xiance are quite talented. As for the other people, they either have poor character or are reckless and ordinary people, and they don't have many general talents."

"Generals are all tempered on the battlefield," Zhou You shook his head and said with a smile: "Li Zicheng's army rarely fought hard battles before. They bullied the weak and feared the strong. How can they develop real generals? A handsome man is even more rare. He is Li Zicheng.

How much self-knowledge and knowledge of others does he have?"

As he spoke, seeing Liu Rushi remaining silent, Zhou You couldn't help but said, "Miss Liu, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking, the general's men are starting a war in the south, killing wealthy families wantonly, are they really not afraid of chaos in the south?" Liu Rushi's words made Xiao Yu's face change slightly. Like Movies and TV Zhutian
