Chapter 245 Li Xin is the No. [-] Loyal Minister of Ming Dynasty
"I heard that Huanglong sent the sailors back to Phi Island?" On Wen Tiren's house, Wen Tiren looked around with a smile, and his left and right were also his henchmen.

"Returning to my lord, that's exactly the case. Gao Qiqian personally ordered someone to pass the order to Huanglong, and Huanglong had to cooperate and recalled Sun Yinglong." After all the officials, a middle-aged civil servant said quickly.

"Xin Jia, since you are in Liaodong, you must know about the situation on the grassland. Can you tell me something about the grassland?" Wen Tiren looked at the man with a strange light in his eyes.It turned out that this middle-aged man was none other than Chen Xinjia.Speaking of which, this person also has some connection with Li Xin.A native of Changshou in Sichuan, an official in the late Ming Dynasty.During the Wanli period, he was elected as the magistrate of Dingzhou and Zhizhou.In the first year of Chongzhen, he became a member of the Ministry of punishment, Wailang, and then a doctor, before moving to Ning to prepare for the army.Before moving to Ning, the soldiers prepared for the matter.Ningqian, an important place outside the pass, can only be established after Xinjia.Four years later, Daling New City was besieged, and aid teachers gathered, and all the repairs were relied on.Later, when the Battle of Dalinghe ended, Chen Xinjia was named the Yushi of Youqian Capital in terms of meritorious service. It was reported that Emperor Chongzhen was going to let him be the governor of the Xuanfu. It was a pity that he came to the capital at this time to meet the emperor. Yes, the current emperor can't sleep at night.Where is the time to summon Chen Xinjia?And this Chen Xinjia was also wandering among the mansions of various officials in central Beijing.

"Jiannu is so powerful that we cannot destroy it in a short period of time." Chen Xinjia thought for a while and said, "As for the situation in Liaodong, because of Li Xin, Liaodong is now peaceful, and Jiannu soldiers and horses have not crossed the Daling River. City, but Dalinghe City looks like a buffer zone for the three parties. Our soldiers and horses have never entered Dalinghe City."

"How about Li Xin's troops?" Chen Xinjia's words moved everyone in the hall. Wen Tiren didn't know anything about Liaodong, so he asked again after hearing Chen Xinjia's words.

"Being invincible all over the prairie, even Lin Danhan, the veteran ruler on the prairie, was beaten back to Baicheng by him." Chen Xinjia counted and said: "There are four great generals under Li Xin's command, one of them is Jiang Yi, who is good at defense. When Li Xin sent troops outside, most of them were Jiang Yi who stayed behind. Second, Yang Xiong was good at attacking, and his offensive methods were extremely weird. Fourth, He Kegang, the general of our dynasty in the past, did not have a good reputation in Liaodong, but when he arrived at Li Xin's side, he showed his methods. He was extremely ruthless. A whole tribe was set on fire. As for the other generals who are used to fighting, I don’t know. As for the counselors, Shi Yuanzhi must be unknown to you! , you must not underestimate this person. He is Li Xin's 'Jia Xu'."

"Jia Xu? Really so powerful?" Wen Tiren asked curiously.

"That's true." Chen Xinjia thought for a while, and said softly, "This person is so clever that it cannot be deduced with common sense." Then Chen Xinjia was about to say something, but suddenly glanced at everyone, and did not continue.

"Xin Jia has been very busy in the capital recently! I came to the old man's house today, don't leave at noon, come down and have a meal with the old man!" Wen Tiren said suddenly with a smile.

"Follow the elder Ge's orders." Chen Xinjia said hastily as his heart moved.The other officials could clearly see that Wen Tiren might have something to ask Chen Xinjia, so they naturally didn't want to stay here any longer, which made Wen Tiren dissatisfied.

"Xin Jia, were you hiding something just now?" Wen Tiren said after waiting for everyone to leave, stroking Chen Xinjia's back with a smile.

"Elder Ge's eyes are sharp." Chen Xinjia said hastily: "I heard that someone in the capital wanted to persuade the emperor recently, so I simply killed Li Xin to get rid of a major disaster in our court."

"Yes, there is such a thing. After all, there are not many soldiers around Li Xin at this time, and his brigade is still in Mobei, and the navy is under the control of the Huanglong Commander. This is the right time to kill Li Xin. "Wen Tiren nodded, and said: "Although I don't like Zhou Yanru very much, I have to say that this Zhou Yanru has a good plan."

"Master Ge, I thought that Li Xin must not be offended, and even advised His Majesty not to attack Dengzhou, and quickly withdrew the troops around Dengzhou to let Li Xin leave Dengzhou." Chen Xinjia said solemnly.

"Are you afraid of Li Xin?" Wen Tiren frowned and said, "Is Li Xin really that powerful?"

"Elder Ge, before returning to the capital, I have been to the Daling River, and I found a large cavalry passing by." Chen Xinjia said softly: "Old Ge, the official said just now, Dalinghe City seems to be a place of disaster. In that place, no matter whether it is my Guanning army, Jiannu army, or Mongolian army, they will not appear there easily. But An army can come in and out of this place like no one's land."

"Li Xin's army." Wen Tiren couldn't sit still for a while, his originally smiling face turned pale, and his well-maintained extremely fair palms kept trembling.There was a look of horror in his eyes.

"That's right, it's Li Xin's army." Chen Xinjia hurriedly said, "It means that half a month ago, Li Xin's army had arrived in Liaodong. Mr. Ge, you don't think that this army came to Liaodong for sightseeing, did you?" !"

"They are reinforcements to Dengzhou." Wen Tiren gasped, and only then did he understand, and said, "It's no wonder that Li Xin can sit in Dengzhou with several thousand troops. They also have tens of thousands of troops in their hands. Li Xin is not in a hurry, so it is not that he is not in a hurry, but that he has already made arrangements. This team of cavalry is his protection."

"That's right, I also browsed the mansion newspaper sent by Shandong in Beijing, and found a problem, that is, Li Xin's surprise attack on Dengzhou not only relied on Sun Yinglong's navy, but also a sea bandit named Gu Sanmazi That is to say, Li Xin has a navy in his hands, but now in Dengzhou, this navy has disappeared, hehe, obviously he went to pick up this team of cavalry. Li Xin has long been prepared." Chen Xinjia Shaking his head, he said: "This person is extremely treacherous, and he would never reveal his hole cards. If the students hadn't discovered this by accident, no one would know that Li Xin had secretly ordered the navy to pick up his cavalry. gone?"

"With this cavalryman Li Xin, we can turn around again." Wen Tiren said softly, but his eyes lit up soon, and he patted Chen Xinjia on the back and said, "Come on, come on, today you came to my house, Don't mention these things, haha, just talk about Fengyue, only talk about Fengyue!"

"Ah!" Chen Xinjia was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the problem.In the imperial court, Wen Tiren advocated appeasement to Li Xin, and even wanted to take Li Xin, a hero, into the imperial court's account at the expense of high officials and generous salary, but Zhou Yanru, on the other hand, advocated doing everything possible to kill Li Xin Xin, eliminate the danger of Li Xin.Regardless of the strategies of these two people, everyone knows that Zhou Yanru and Li Xin have a grudge against each other, so when everyone weighs the two strategies, they will inevitably take Zhou Yanru's personal factors into consideration.More importantly, the struggle between Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru in the court became more and more intense.Today you join one of my followers, and tomorrow I will join one of your followers.All of a sudden, the court was full of smog. On the one hand, Emperor Chongzhen had to be busy with the affairs of the government and the public, and on the other hand, he had to carefully balance his two important ministers. It was simply miserable.

Right now, Wen Tiren can be said to be ready to get Li Xin in advance, and the prairie cavalry has already killed towards Shandong. According to the logic, Wen Tiren should not ask him to drink at this time, but go to the palace to tell His Majesty the Emperor.This is naturally because of Zhou Yanru.

"Xin Jia! You are still young and don't understand the truth." Wen Tiren naturally saw the doubts in Chen Xinjia's heart, and sighed immediately: "I don't want to tell this person to His Majesty, but Zhou Yanru controls the court. So what if I told His Majesty? That stupid guy, if he made the first mistake, he would make the second one. At the beginning, I asked the emperor to pardon Li Xin and give him an official title, but Zhou Yanru thought that Li Xin Just a sinner, okay! He was forced to go to the other side of the court, and in the end, he even threatened the other party with his unmarried wife, but in the end he was slapped severely by others. It is a trivial matter to lose face, but But it hurt the court. Can such a person be the chief assistant?"

"But the soldiers on the front line?" Chen Xinjia sighed slightly when he thought of the court soldiers who were about to be killed by Li Xin.

"Don't worry. Li Xin is not an ordinary person. He can defeat the opponent at most, but he will not kill innocent people." Wen Tiren shook his head and said, "He is a general of the court. If you say that he is an ordinary person, the court has repeatedly failed him. Can you still read the imperial court? But Li Xin is in this situation. The imperial court ordered him to conquer Shandong, but how many soldiers and horses did he have? But he still went. In this case, he still helped the imperial court to capture Dengzhou. You also stayed in Liaodong, do you know why the imperial court won the war in Shandong and why?"

"Because Li Xin captured Dengzhou, the rebels lost their logistics base, so the rebels had no choice but to attack Dengzhou under the command of the court. Losing Dengzhou, the rebels lost the last victory Opportunity." Chen Xinjia said without thinking.Although he was a civil servant, he had stayed in Liaodong after all, and he knew something about the battlefield under the influence of his ears and eyes.

"That's right! This is Li Xin. The imperial court treats him like this, guarding against him like a thief. Such a person actually serves the imperial court. What kind of person do you think such a person is, is he a rebel?" Wen Tiren sneered and said: "Li Xin can be said to be a loyal minister, the number one loyal minister of my Ming Dynasty."
