Li Zicheng, the invading king, had a strategist who was captured by the Qing soldiers. What did he say and then he was released?

At that time, Li Zicheng's strategist Song Xiance was captured by the Qing army after being killed by mistake. At that time, in order to save his life, Song Xiance told the Qing army that he was a fortune teller. At that time, the Qing army heard that he was a fortune teller and released Song Xiance. Because in ancient times, the Qing army still respected fortune tellers and believed what fortune tellers said. So instead of giving Song Xiance a hard time, we let him go. From then on, Song Xiance began to make a living by fortune telling.

Li Zicheng was the founder of Dashun regime and the leader of peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty. At first, he was just an adventurer around Zhuang Wang Gao Yingxiang. He was very brave, so after Wang's sacrifice, Li Zicheng called himself King Zhuang and continued to organize peasant uprisings. His idea of "equal farmland tax exemption" won the support of the broad masses of the people, and the peasant uprising team continued to expand, eventually reaching millions.

Song Xiance is one of Li Zicheng's military advisers. Recommended by Niu Jinxing, he joined the Li Zicheng Rebel Army. Song Xiance has read many poems since he was a child, and his knowledge is very profound. He is also very clever. After I went to the Li Zicheng Rebel Army, I helped Li Zicheng and gave him advice, which contributed a lot to the peasant uprising. His wisdom was also appreciated by Li Zicheng, so he was named the founding great strategist.

After the peasant uprising army led by Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, it began to relax. Just as they let their guard down, the Qing army and Wu Sangui joined forces to attack. Li Zicheng's army was no match for them, so Li Zicheng returned to Xi 'an with his army. In the process, Li Zicheng was killed by mistake. After being captured by the Qing army, Song Xiance told the Qing army that he was a fortune teller and was released. After all, the Qing army still respects fortune tellers.
