Li Zicheng's chief strategist was captured, and the Qing army asked him who he was. What did he say, be released immediately?

He said that he was a fortune teller and was released by the Qing army. He also surrendered to the Qing army and used divination to find a way out for himself.

Song Xiance, the chief counselor of Li Zicheng, was gifted and loved learning since he was a child. I especially like to study "magic numbers", travel around the world as a warlock, and measure bad luck for others through divination.

Coincidentally, Song Xiance was recommended to the peasant army in Li Zicheng. Song Xiance was informed and immediately noticed Li Zicheng. So Li Zicheng regarded him as his own strategist, and predicted the situation through his divination before each expedition. Li Zicheng appreciates Song Xiance very much.

In order to establish political power in Li Zicheng as soon as possible, Song Xiance put forward the idea that "eighteen sons are the main artifacts". Because of this idea, Li Zicheng quickly established its prestige, and many farmers supported Li Zicheng, which also boosted morale.

Seeing that the situation was good, Song Xiance used divination to propose that "the national luck would be exhausted" in the Ming Dynasty. Convinced, the peasants took the initiative to isolate the rule of the Ming Dynasty and joined the ranks of Li Zicheng.

When conquering Nanyang, Song Xiance came up with a circuitous tactic, which made the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty run around and finally exhausted. This tactic enabled the peasant army to win easily. When Li Zicheng saw the time was ripe, he immediately established himself as king in Xi 'an, and from then on, he established the Dashun regime and won.

With Song Xiance's assistance, Li Zicheng's throne is very comfortable. Song Xiance also proposed scouts, which also received great response. Scouts can attack the enemy with only a short blade, which is unstoppable. Later, wherever the boy scouts went, their opponents immediately fled in fear, and the boy scouts won easily.

Since the capture of Beijing, Li Zicheng has been content with the status quo. Not only did he not train, but he was even defeated by the sneak attack of the Qing army. He also died directly, and Song's sacrifice was pardoned by the Qing soldiers because of his fortune-teller status.
