Chapter 244 The Emperor Can't Sleep

"Damn Thief Li, you actually colluded with traitors!" Zu Dabi roared loudly in the big tent, while Wu Sangui and his son on the side remained silent.

"This Li Xin is an official of the imperial court after all, and this time he came to Shandong under the orders of the imperial court. Although he has done something wrong to the imperial court in the past, he is a hero after all. You led the army, and if you said you would encircle it, you would encircle it. He has soldiers and horses in his hands Very few, otherwise, wouldn't it be enough to be killed?" Wu Xiang said slightly dissatisfied.

It has to be said that the generals in Liaodong, or the generals in the late Ming Dynasty, had far less profound and direct thoughts about this kind of loyalty than civil servants.The first thing they have to do is to save their own lives, and everything else is secondary.

"Then what should we do now?" Wu Sangui was also very annoyed. He felt like a monkey last night, being watched by Li Xin from the top of the city.But he had to admit that what his father said made sense. No matter how much these people hated Li Xin, one thing about Li Xin remained unchanged, that is, he did not rebel.At least there is no explicit rebellion.The land he occupies now was taken from the grassland people, and to be honest, he has made great contributions to the imperial court!Under such circumstances, it is obviously immoral for the imperial court to send troops to besiege Dengzhou.

"Waiting for the news from the imperial court." Wu Xiang said with a gloomy expression, "I believe those bigwigs in the imperial court will think of Li Xin to death. They will accuse Li Xin of countless crimes. Huo Qubing can How? In the eyes of those literati, Li Xin is an unforgivable crime. More importantly, we have already besieged him in Dengzhou, and the navy of the Huanglong Army is about to arrive in Dengzhou. Li Xin has no reinforcements before. , there is no way out, under such circumstances, he can't escape even if he puts his wings on."

"It's really strange. Under such circumstances, why didn't that kid run away? Is he a fool? Don't he understand what the court thinks about him?" Zu Dabi said disdainfully: "If it was me, I would have run away a long time ago , Could it be that he really likes Dengzhou and wants to take Dengzhou as his own?"

"That's definitely not it." Wu Sangui also showed a trace of doubt on his face. He is different from Zu Dabi, a rough man. He is a generation of heroes. He shook his head and said: "Although Dengzhou is located in the Central Plains, in fact, it is far less important to him than the grasslands. He has 10,000+ soldiers in the grasslands, enough to sweep the grasslands. At that time, even the imperial court will give him some face. Although Dengzhou is good, it is not the place he wants to stay. According to reason, he should have left a long time ago. I remember that he still has sailors. Even if these sailors are suppressed by Sun Yinglong, Sun Yinglong still wants to take Li Xin away. It can't be stopped."

"Hmph, since this is neither that nor that, then there is a conspiracy." Wu Xiang said coldly, "Report this matter to the supervising army as soon as possible! And Li Jiuzheng's head is also a credit. This battle has been fought by now, and it should be over. A little Kong Youde actually cost the court [-] troops, and I don’t know how much food and grass it took to make it into what it is today. It’s really a joke If not for our Guanning iron cavalry, I am afraid this war will last for a while." Wu Sangui and others also nodded.

"It's a great achievement to be able to surround Li Xin. No matter what happens in the future, we just have to keep an eye on him." Wu Xiang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "We must not treat Li Xin before the imperial court has issued an imperial edict." Do it."

"Why? If you don't do anything at this time, do you wait until he has enough food and supplies? I heard that Li Xin has a lot of food in Dengzhou City! If you don't do anything at this time, wait until he is ready." It will be too late if we start again." Zu Dabi said dissatisfiedly.

"Can you deal with Li Xin's [-]-strong army?" Wu Xiang snorted coldly, "If you can deal with his [-]-strong army, you can lead the army to kill it now. Hmph, don't say it's you, it's just I am afraid that the imperial court will not make any decision in a short time. Li Xin's trump card is not here, but in Mobei. The [-] army is the real trump card. With just one hair of Xin, his [-] troops will enter the Great Wall, and at that time, in order to appease these people, the imperial court will take our heads and make them retreat."

"It's really abominable." Hearing the panic in his eyes, Zu Dabi disappeared for a moment. He clenched his fist tightly and hit his thigh hard, shaking the armor on his body, making a sound of gold and iron clanging .

"It doesn't matter to us, maybe at this time, the court already knows." Wu Sangui also nodded.

In fact, when Gao Qiqian raised his troops to go to Dengzhou, he submitted a memorial and presented his strategy to Chongzhen. When Wu Sangui arrived in Dengzhou, Gao Qiqian ordered him to pay six hundred li. Urgently sent to the capital.He led the army to kill Dengzhou, but this person was insidious and cunning. Although he hated Li Xin very much and wanted to kill Li Xin, but he also knew that this Li Xin could not be easily killed, otherwise, he would be in bad luck in the future.So it was very straightforward to sit fifty miles outside Dengzhou City, surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and ordered people to attack Kong Youde's rebels all day long, while training soldiers and horses, and waited for Wu Xiang and his son to send Li Jiucheng's head. , and ordered people to spread it to the capital as soon as possible.

And as Gao Qiqian's memorials spread to the capital, Gao Qiqian sent all the good news, which also made the capital gradually settle down. After all, it is Shandong, not far from the capital. Shandong is shaking, and the capital is also shocked three times a day. .Now that Shandong is gradually being pacified, the people in the capital are calm, but what others don't know is that among the upper echelons of the capital, everyone is talking about it. Gao Qiqian's memorial brings not only the situation in Shandong, but also the situation in Shandong. There is also news about Li Xin.When Wu Sangui led the army to reach the city of Dengzhou and dragged Li Xin to Dengzhou, some people who were dissatisfied with Li Xin immediately cheered.They clamored to attack Dengzhou one after another, and there were only some far-sighted people who didn't take it seriously.Secretly sighed, Gao Qiqian did not bring credit to the court this time, on the contrary he was a hedgehog, which made the court not know how to deal with Li Xin.

Li Xin's contribution is too great, and more importantly, there are tens of thousands of cavalry behind him, threatening the Xuanfu area at any time. There is not much road from Xuanfu to the capital. Once something happens to Li Xin, the capital will bear the brunt.Among these officials, some even said that Emperor Chongzhen had not slept well in the past few days.It is because of this that I am troubled.
