Han ride

Chapter 237
There are more than one Geng Zhongming who have the idea of ​​Geng Zhongming. In fact, the whole Shandong has set their sights on Dengzhou and on Dengzhou. , not just to chase the ducks, nor just a two-sided attack to wipe out the rebels under the rebels, but to stay in the land of Shandong with Li Xin.For a while, there were mixed opinions among the people. The eunuch camp in the imperial court, the Donglin party members and various groups within the scribe group all lost their voices, waiting for the changes in the situation in Shandong.

"Eunuch Gao, your strategy is extremely clever! I admire you very much." In the camp of imperial reinforcements, Gao Qiqian and Zhu Dadian sat down one by one, and even Liu Yulie and others who fled to Ninghai also came one after another.That Liu Yulie's words were full of flattery.

"Do you know why Li Xin insisted on sticking to Dengzhou and not letting Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming go?" Gao Qiqian said suddenly proudly.

"Elder-in-law knows?" Everyone's faces changed when they heard the words, and Yang Yufan below couldn't help asking.

"Hehe, how do our stupid people know? It's just that Lord Zhu told our family that Kong Youde had the intention of becoming a slave. This person was once under Sun Yuanhua's command and was in charge of military training. His soldiers and horses can operate artillery. Such a person Once he takes refuge in Jiannu, he will be Li Xin's greatest enemy." Gao Qiqian sneered, "Do you all think that Li Xin is really loyal and patriotic? If this person is really loyal and patriotic, he would have come to see him at this time I'm waiting. When General Wu came to Dengzhou, not only did he not go to see him, he even turned away the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. How can such a person be a loyal minister of the imperial court? For himself. When facing such an unfaithful and unrighteous person, you cannot sympathize with him."

"Grandfather's order." Everyone stood up and said loudly.At this time, everyone also knew that no matter what reason Li Xin had for blocking Kong Youde or for not letting Wu Sangui enter the city, it didn't matter. The key was that the court wanted to eradicate Li Xin.At this time, everyone can only take Li Xin's head as a military exploit. As for whether this matter will be talked about in the future, that is also a matter for the high officials in the court.

"Hmph, Li Xin, our family has prepared a generous gift for you. I don't know if you have received it now." Gao Qiqian looked at Dengzhou City in the distance, a gloomy expression appeared on his chubby face.

"My lord, General Sun is asking to see you."

In Dengzhou City, when Li Xin was considering whether to follow Zhang Wu's advice, the voice of soldiers came from outside, but he saw Sun Yinglong standing in the distance with his head down, under the dripping eaves.

"Please come in quickly." Li Xin looked at Sun Yinglong curiously. He was not what he is now in the past. Although this mansion is also an important place, Sun Yinglong is not an outsider, but he is a little more polite today.

"The last general pays his respects to the general." Sun Yinglong bowed to Li Xin, with embarrassment that couldn't be concealed.

"Why is this so, general?" Li Xin felt a little bad.

"The last general came to bid farewell to the general." Sun Yinglong lowered his head and said: "The Huanglong commander sent an order to my navy to set off immediately and return to Pidao. The last general dared not disobey the order, so he bid farewell to the general."

"General Sun, but the court put pressure on the general?" Song Xiance asked quickly seeing Li Xin's gloomy expression.

Sun Yinglong looked at Song Xiance with grateful eyes, and quickly explained: "I heard that an angel from the imperial court arrived at Phi Island and asked Huang Zongbing to give an order. The brothers who came to deliver the order said that when the angel came, he also brought law enforcement officers. The team is coming. Although General Huang is a bit obstructive, the opponent is in control of the power. Even Huang Zongbing can't help it. The brothers' families are in their hands, and the last general has nothing to do. Please forgive me. "

"Hey! In that case, I, Li Xin, can't stop the general." Li Xin stood up, sighed deeply, and said, "I, Li Xin, can occupy Dengzhou because of the merits of the general. Since the general wants to leave, I, Li Xin Send the letter to the brother personally."

"No, general." Sun Yinglong's voice was choked with sobs, and he cupped his hands and said, "Although Dengzhou City has not been besieged yet, Gao Qiqian is not good at fighting, but he is ruthless. Once he knows that the general is leaving the city, he will definitely order Wu Sangui's cavalry to stop him. More importantly What's more, general, Dengzhou City still needs generals. The final general also heard that Huang Zongbing originally wanted to personally guard the general's reinforcements, but it is a pity that he can't do it now."

"That's fine." Li Xin nodded, and said, "You can say hello to the brothers for me." Li Xin clenched his fists tightly when he heard this, but a smile appeared on his face, and he laughed loudly.

"Take care, general." Sun Yinglong hurriedly cupped his hands and said.Then Li Xin waved his hand, and then retreated.

"My lord, this Sun Yinglong is too hateful." After Sun Yinglong left the hall, Zhang Wu said viciously: "When the last general rushes out, kill that Sun Yinglong and snatch his sailor." He was about to rush out .

"Wait a minute." Song Xiance's complexion changed, he stopped Zhang Wu, and cupped his hands at Li Xin and said, "General, General Sun is actually here to report a letter for the general, and the general asks you to think twice."

"What do you mean sir?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"In Sun Yinglong's words, he not only mentioned the Pidao navy, but also the people in the court, my lord, and the subordinates thought this was a signal." Song Xiance stroked his beard and said, "Sun Yinglong is actually saying that Huanglong wants to Taking refuge with the lord was just suppressed by the court, so I had no choice but to recall Sun Yinglong."

"Is that so?" Li Xin looked at Zhang Cai in disbelief.He didn't see any news from it.

"That's right, I'm afraid that's exactly what Sun Yinglong said." Zhang Cai also nodded and said, "The general has heard Sun Yinglong's last words. That is Huanglong is going to meet the general's reinforcements in person. Hehe! In fact, General Sun is I want to name Huanglong's attitude here."

"That's right, what Mr. Zhang said is true." Song Xiance didn't want Zhang Cai to show up, and continued: "That Huanglong wants to join the Lord."

"Huang Long is the commander-in-chief of a town, how can he rely on me?" Li Xin shook his head in disbelief and said, "I just want Huang Long not to stop my reinforcements from coming. As for other things, I, Li Xin, don't care. Hmph, Gao Qiqian is really powerful. He was bullied by me in the Xuan Mansion last time, and now he can't wait to come to trouble me. It seems that Sun Yinglong's departure is probably his idea. And the court, the nearest The court has lost its voice."

"They wish they could trap the lord in Dengzhou." Song Xiance looked disdainful.Zhang Cai also nodded.

"I originally wanted to save some face for the court, or to save him some vitality, but now it seems that there is no need for that." Li Xin sighed: "To be honest, I also wanted to serve the court at the beginning. , It's a pity that the current imperial court doesn't want people like me to exist, it's a pity."

"The imperial court does not want the lord, that is the lord's great fortune." Song Xiance said solemnly: "The current imperial court, although Chongzhen has the intention of sweeping the universe, but since Wuzong, the imperial court has become increasingly corrupt, and now it has rotted to the bone. To undertake the important task of unifying the world, only a hero like the lord can block powerful enemies from outside, suppress rebellions from inside, and restore peace to our Central Plains. Chongzhen, he can't."

"Actually, among so many emperors in the Ming Dynasty, I, Li Xin, admired the Taizu Emperor the most. The Taizu Emperor was just a monk, but it was he who raised righteous soldiers and drove out the Tartars, so that the Han people had a foothold. Land. Among so many emperors, the most pitiful one is probably Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen was diligent in politics. I heard that sometimes he only slept for an hour or two at night, and his food and clothing were not as good as those wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan. It is a pity that , such an emperor was not born in the time of Emperor Wuzong, otherwise, the history of the Ming Dynasty would have to be rewritten. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had no one in his hands, and most of the court was corrupt officials, relying on these people to govern the world, It's just a joke." Li Xin shook his head and smiled wryly: "Additionally, Emperor Chongzhen is self-willed, suspicious by nature, and never trusts others, otherwise, how could this great Ming Dynasty be like this, Yuan Chonghuan back then, and me now. Which one is not, he Chongzhen did not make mistakes, how could I, Li Xin, have such a chance?"

"This is a change in the way of heaven. Da Ming has ruled the Central Plains for more than two hundred years. At this time, Da Ming is already at the end of his life. Even if there is no lord, the subordinates think that Da Ming can't last much longer." Song Xiance said seriously.

"Da Ming, hey!" Zhang Caiben was a wise man. He used to see prosperous lands in the south of the Yangtze River. Although there were also many corruptions, they were not like after entering the north. Most of them were military disasters. He also followed Li Xin's food team had entered the interior of Shandong, and all they saw was depression, which was far from comparable to that of Jiangnan.He followed Li Xin, not only saw Li Xin's character, but also saw the various measures of the court, and some of the persistence in his heart changed a lot.

"Mr. Song, send someone to Kong Youde Camp!" Li Xin stood up and said, "I don't ask him to say anything, I just write him a letter." He took a letter and wrote it casually A few words of righteousness and strictness, and then changed the pen, and said some words of persuasion, and pointed out the court's conspiracy by the way, but in the end, he conspired a few more, thought for a while, and took a blank letter paper and stuffed it Put it into the envelope and hand it to Song Xiance.Just let him send someone to spread the word.

"General, this move will not arouse the suspicion of both parties!" Song Xiance was beside him, and after reading Li Xin's writing, he felt that the strategy was very shallow, so he couldn't help but said.

"If the two sides treat each other sincerely, no matter how much they pretend to be like each other, they will not doubt each other. But if they don't trust each other, the other side will doubt each other because my writing has many loopholes." Li Xin said indifferently.After hearing what Li Xin said, the two thought for a while, and then nodded.Order someone to deliver the letter without mentioning it.
