Niu Jinxing gritted his teeth and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, I think we should retreat to Henan to defeat the enemy."
Song Xiance also stood up and said, "I second the proposal. Henan is the blessed land of the emperor. The emperor was able to make a comeback with only 18 riders back then, and this time is no exception."
After listening to this, Li Zicheng remained silent.
"Nonsense!" Li Yan suddenly yelled.
Li Yan has always had a good temper. Not only does he rarely get angry, but he rarely even quarrels.
His shout not only stunned Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, but even Li Zicheng was startled.
"What's wrong with Mr. Li?" Li Zicheng asked puzzledly.
"Your Majesty, Niu Zuofu and Military Advisor Song are talking complete nonsense!"

The sound of artillery in the distance brought Li Zicheng back to his senses.
He stared at Li Yan and asked, "What's your idea, Mr. Li?"
Li Yan said quickly: "Since we can't turn the tide, we might as well minimize the losses. Order the cavalry to withdraw first, and the infantry to follow. After withdrawing from the battlefield, run north and return to Guanzhong via Wuguan, Shangluo and Lantian."
"Next, the offensive and defensive situation will change! What Dashun needs to do is to guard the Guanzhong barrier and keep the Ming army out."
