Chapter 229
Shandong Qingzhou Mansion is located in the middle of Shandong, and it is only a few hundred miles away from Laizhou, the place where the military disaster occurred.At this time, it has been used as a frontline position for the reinforcements. The new governor of Shandong, Zhu Dadian, and the supervising army Gao Qiqian led [-] soldiers and horses to station here. The auxiliary soldiers and so on, actually gathered [-] troops in Qingzhou Mansion.What these [-] troops have to deal with is Kong Youde's more than [-] troops.

At this moment, Kong Youde's soldiers and horses have consumed a lot of vitality under the city of Laizhou, and their offensive momentum has been frustrated. In addition, Dengzhou's old lair has been lost, and food and grass are also relying on looting for a living, so they can't last long. For the reinforcements, this is simply great news.

"Hey, Li Xin, if you kill Kong Youde, you will be the next one." In the back house of the Qingzhou guard envoy, he looked up and looked at the pond where the bait was lost, and saw the goldfish in the pond scrambling for food. Show a smile.The guardian of Qingzhou is the residence of Zhang Guoan, the eunuch of Qingzhou. He is Gao Qiqian's godson. Gao Qiqian came to Shandong to supervise the army, so naturally he wanted to live in his home.

"Godfather. You came to Qingzhou this time to deal with Li Xin?" Beside him, Zhang Guoan had a flattering expression on his face.The guardian eunuch seems to be a fat vacancy, but compared with the big eunuchs in the palace, it is far behind.

"If you don't deal with him, why do you think our family brought [-] troops?" Gao Qiqian glanced at Zhang Guoan, gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that Li Xin gave us this position. , defeated Lin Danhan, that's why the emperor thought of me, but only our family knows that all of this is caused by Li Xin. If it weren't for him, Yunzhong City now belongs to the imperial court, and our family would not Stay in that ghostly place in the Xuan Mansion. Hmph, Li Xin is the imperial court's confidant, if we can't solve him, he will solve us sooner or later."

"Who is Li Xin who can be valued so much by his adoptive father? My child sees that he has only a few thousand soldiers and horses around him, how can he be our opponent? The foster father can send one or two generals at will, and he can solve this person." Zhang Guoan said. He had never met Li Xin before, and in his eyes, the thousands of troops around Li Xin were not enough. If it wasn't blocked by the city wall, Kong Youde might have taken care of him long ago.

"Fart, what do you know?" Gao Qiqian threw down all the fish food in his hand, took the wet towel from the maid on the side, wiped his hands, and snorted coldly: "If Li Xin is so easy to deal with, When we were in the grassland, our family killed him. If he is so easy to deal with, how can he occupy Dengzhou with the little troops in his hand? You have been in Dengzhou for so long, have you never been to Dengzhou? Dengzhou city is well-defended , is not something ordinary people can attack, and Li Xin is not a simple character."

Although Zhang Guoan nodded in his heart, he didn't pay attention to Li Xin in his heart. In his opinion, the more soldiers and horses in his hands, the more powerful he was. Li Xin's few thousand troops could do nothing at all.

"It's good to be able to kill Li Xin this time. If you can't kill him, you have to drive him away." Gao Qiqian thought of something, and said, "This is when our family was leaving, and the emperor personally ordered me to kill him." The secret decree. Listen, even the emperor is not sure to kill Li Xin, let alone us."

"Father, you are in charge of Shandong now, so Li Xin is only the commander of Dengzhou. Why don't father order him to come to Qingzhou to meet him? If he comes, father will simply kill him in Shandong." Zhang Guoan whispered in Gao Qiqian's ear.

"It's impossible for him to come, do you think he's that stupid?" Gao Qiqian shook his head and said.

"Then just drive the wolves away." Zhang Guoan said through gritted teeth: "At this time, Kong Youde must have known that our army has arrived and he is not our opponent, so we simply reached a secret agreement with him and let them go, but they We must retreat towards Dengzhou slowly. When we surround Dengzhou, let them go. On the one hand, we ordered Li Xin to stick to Dengzhou. By the time he reacted, we had already surrounded Dengzhou, and he was It's impossible to run away."

"This method, you can try it." Gao Qiqian thought for a while, glanced at Zhang Guoan, and said, "Guoan, do you have the courage to go to Kong Youde's army. This kind of secret matter can only be you and me The two of you know that if this is spread, the emperor will definitely take you and my father and son to death. After all, Li Xin has not rebelled against the imperial court, but has done a lot for the imperial court. He has a bit of prestige among the people. If you The two of us used the method of colluding with traitors to kill Li Xin. Someone will definitely put this crime on you and my father and son. So we can only proceed in secret, but if this is done, the emperor will definitely reward us Yes. Guoan, you have to think clearly." Gao Qiqian patted Zhang Guoan on the shoulder, but there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

Zhang Guoan's complexion changed when he heard this, and he became a little uneasy. At this time, he remembered that he had miscalculated.What kind of character is Gao Qiqian, who can achieve the position of great eunuch, who didn't crawl out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood in the harem, these people are insidious, cruel and cunning.How could he not know the idea of ​​colluding with the rebels, he just wanted to say it out of his own mouth, and then let himself do it, so that if something happened in the future, someone would come out and talk back.But in the current situation, he couldn't agree to it.

Kneeling on the ground, he said through gritted teeth, "My son is willing to serve his foster father."

"Okay. Okay." Gao Qiqian's face was filled with a smile, he pulled Zhang Guoan up from the ground, and said, "Choose one or two people who benefit, go to see Kong Youde, and tell him that as long as he can retreat to Deng I will spare his life. Of course, if he surrounds Dengzhou before us, we will let him go. If he wants to submit to the imperial court, I will recommend him as the commander of Dengzhou. Compared with Li Xin, What is Kong Youde?"

"Boy, let's prepare now." Zhang Guoan also settled down, since the matter has already happened, there is nothing he can do.

"Remember, go ahead in secret. No one can know about this matter. Otherwise, you and I will die without a place to bury you." Gao Qi sneaked into Zhang Guoan's ear and said: "Those Donglin Party members in the imperial court It’s not a day or two since Kong Youde has killed Xu Congzhi, Zhu Wannian and others. Kong Youde must die. If we go to surrender at this time, how can these people not settle accounts with us?”

"My child understands. Let's do it now." Zhang Guoan nodded, then cupped his hands towards Gao Qiqian and left the back house.

"Eunuch Gao." At this time, several people came over from far away, Gao Qi looked over, but saw that it was Zhu Dadian, Jin Guoqi, Jin Guochen and others who came together this time.

"Lord Zhu, all generals." Gao Qiqian narrowed his eyes and greeted him with a hearty laugh.He bowed his hands to everyone, then pointed at the last Wu Sangui and said, "Our family remembers you, your name is Wu Sangui, when the emperor came to the throne, he once summoned you."

"I didn't expect my father-in-law to remember the last general." Gao Qiqian was very happy with the flattered look on Wu Sangui's face.Most of these young generals have upturned nostrils, but Wu Sangui is different. He has a deep understanding of the rules of officialdom. Don't underestimate these eunuchs. At certain times, they are very useful. Maybe they can't help you. , but it's extremely easy to ruin a good thing for you.If you can not offend, don't offend.

"Everyone, please sit down." Gao Qiqian led everyone into the pavilion, and after serving tea, Fang sat down.Gao Qiqian took the first seat without hesitation, even the new governor of Shandong, Zhu Dadian, could only take the second seat.Everyone has no opinion on this sitting method.Although Gao Qiqian is the supervising army, he represents the emperor, and in the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs were very powerful.

"Gao Gonggong, right now I'm waiting for the army to gather. I don't know what Gao Gonggong is going to do next? Let me wait and cooperate!" Zhu Dadian's face was dark, and he couldn't see the joy or anger on his face, but his eyes showed occasionally With all the light, it makes people feel that this person is absolutely not simple.

"Haha, everyone is joking, our family is just showing off, you are all eagles on the battlefield, you can fight as you like." Gao Qiqian said modestly: "As long as the enemy can be destroyed in the end, the Shandong can be brought back into the arms of Ming Dynasty. General Wu, tell me how to fight this battle in Shandong."

"Our army has a strong force. Kong Youde's rebel army is nothing more than chickens and dogs. The whole army can press it up." Wu Sangui said without thinking.

"Yes, yes, we should push up. I Guan Ning cavalry will destroy their cavalry first. Let's see how Kong Youde can sneak up on Liang Dao." Zu Dabi shouted loudly.

"Of course we know the prestige of Guan Ning's iron cavalry." Gao Qiqian nodded, and said, "Naturally, we need to rely on the power of Guan Ning's iron cavalry in this battle. But if you want to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop, you have to plan carefully." What do you guys think?" Gao Qiqian didn't look at those generals, and finally his eyes fell on Zhu Dadian.

"Haha, this is natural." Zhu Dadian nodded, and said, "At this time, Kong Youde still has luck in his heart. I believe that the cavalry of the rebels will be wiped out first by Guan Ning's iron cavalry, and then the army will press on. Step by step Attacking, forcing them to Dengzhou, Dengzhou is close to the sea, the city defenses are strong, General Li Xin holds the navy, and we attack from both sides, it is enough to destroy Kong Youde. I don’t know what you think?"

"This is a good idea, but we need the cooperation of General Li Xin!" Jin Guoqi and the others looked at each other, and finally said with a smile.For Li Xin, Guan Ningjun had inexplicable thoughts from top to bottom, and even a trace of hostility.This Li Xin has almost overshadowed the prestige of Guan Ning's army.
