Liu Zongmin looked at the map on the table and asked, "Where is the Ming army now?"

"Set up camp twenty miles east of the city."

"Hmm?" Liu Zongmin thought he had heard it wrong: "Twenty miles?"

"Yes, the Ming army does not seem to have any plans to attack the city."

"No..." Liu Zongmin looked at the map with some doubt: "If I were Qin Liangyu, I would choose to rest in Lingbao instead of in the wasteland 20 miles away from Tongguan."

"Could it be..." Liu Zongmin had a bad feeling: "She has some conspiracy!"

After talking to himself, Liu Zongmin stood up and asked the guards outside the door, "Is there any news about the emperor?"

After Li Zicheng was defeated in Chengtian Prefecture, he fled all the way back to Guanzhong. In order to appease the morale of the troops, he personally returned to the west to comfort the families of the Shun army and to ask for reinforcements.

"In reply to the general, the emperor is less than ten miles away, and he is coming with Marquis Ze (Tian Jianxiu) and his 10,000 soldiers."

"Okay! Okay!" After hearing that Tian Jianxiu was coming, Liu Zongmin was finally not as panicked as before.

There are only a few elite soldiers left in the Dashun Army, and Tian Jianxiu is one of them!

In the evening, Li Zicheng and Tian Jianxiu entered Tongguan City at the same time.

After dinner, a group of senior generals of the Shun army gathered together to discuss how to fight.

Li Zicheng sat in the middle, and the other generals were on both sides.

After Tian Jianxiu and others sat down, they stood up.

His burly body was covered with the most common civilian clothes, with a blue cloth belt tied around his waist. On his big head was a large round face with beard growing on both sides of his cheeks.

Under the candlelight, Tian Jianxiu's shadow cast on the wall looked slightly hideous.

"Your Majesty," Tian Jianxiu's voice was rough and powerful, "I have a favor to ask."

"There are no outsiders here, go ahead."

Tian Jianxiu hesitated for a moment and then said, "The Ming army is now dividing its forces to attack Wuguan and Tongguan, and our army is stretched to the limit. Liu Fangliang has several thousand baggage soldiers, and I want to transfer them to Tongguan to resist the Ming army."

"I wonder what the emperor thinks?"
