Han ride

Chapter 265 Reaching Phi Island
"Your Majesty, the words of the Han people have been untrustworthy since ancient times. This letter came from the eunuchs of the Han people. Whether you can believe it or not is another matter!" Hauge said dissatisfied with Concubine Zhuang for a long time, and naturally he didn't want her to make meritorious service, so he immediately poured cold water on him.

His words made everyone in the Phoenix Tower stunned for a moment. Even Fan Wencheng frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded. This kind of news came suddenly, and it was spread by people from the inner court of the Ming Dynasty. There is a problem with it. If it is true, it is a good thing, but if it is false?It would be a waste of money and food to dispatch the army.

"You say, is this credible?" Huang Taiji glanced at Concubine Zhuang, and said, "Concubine Zhuang, where is the eunuch who delivered the letter now?"

"The concubine originally wanted to keep him, but he said he didn't want rewards, just to complete the task, so he left." Concubine Zhuang lowered her head and said: "He also said that the emperor would believe it, because not only We want Li Xin to die, and there are also many people in the Ming Dynasty who want Li Xin to die."

"Look, Huang Ama, look, I think there must be something strange in this matter. I heard that the eunuchs of the Han people are all greedy for money. Doesn't he want some reward for sending such a letter? ?” Hauge said proudly.

"Your majesty, I think this matter must be true." Dorgon shook his head, and said solemnly: "The Ming Dynasty wanted to kill Li Xin, it didn't happen once or twice, but Li Xin escaped all of them. Yes. Now, Li Xin's strength has skyrocketed. It's not just that we are worried, their emperor may be even more worried, so it's okay to reveal his whereabouts. What's more, we killed Li Xin, and the Ming Dynasty people can take the opportunity to win over Li Xin's subordinates Soldiers and horses. What's more, Li Xin must have passed through Liaodong, which is enough. Even if there is a difference in time, it is only a matter of a day or two. Could it be that my army can't wait for a day or two?"

"What do you gentlemen think?" Huang Taiji still asked Fan Wencheng and others uncertainly.

"What Fourteen Baylor said is true." Fan Wencheng thought for a while, and said, "Not to mention whether this letter is true or not, the fact that Li Xin passed through Liaodong is enough for us to send troops to surround Li Xin. .” Ning Wan, I and the others also nodded.If Li Xin is not dead, Jiannu can't sleep for a day, even for Han people like Fan Wencheng.Jiannu might survive by relying on Li Xin, but once a person like him is captured, he must be killed.These people want Li Xin to die more than anyone else.

"According to the records above, Li Xin will land near the Daling River in about ten days. We don't have much time left. Li Xin is the enemy of my people. If Li Xin is not destroyed, we can't wait." Shepherding horses in the Central Plains. In the past, when Li Xin had only a few thousand soldiers, we could not gain the upper hand. This time, he has [-] cavalry and thousands of infantry. It is even more difficult to deal with such an army. There are not many chances." Huang Taiji glanced at the crowd, and said: "We don't want to hold back, the whole army presses up, isn't Li Xin very brave? I will send tens of thousands of elite soldiers to besiege him. If one doesn’t work, I’ll send ten, and if ten don’t work, I’ll send a hundred. In short, this time, Li Xin must not be allowed to return to Guihua City alive. What do you think?”

"Your Majesty dispatches." Many princes and princes Baylor said loudly.

"Li Xin, I want to see where you can escape this time." Huang Taiji's face was gloomy. Originally, the final winner of the Dalinghe decisive battle must be Jiannu's side, but because of Li Xin's insertion, Jiannu not only failed After winning the victory, they lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Even Azig was personally beheaded by Li Xin. Huacheng drove Lin Danhan to Baicheng. Although Lin Danhan was relatively weak, but with Li Xin around, Jiannu could no longer attack the Central Plains from the gap in the Great Wall as easily as before.Therefore, Li Xin became the first target that Jiannu had to get rid of.This time he managed to catch the opportunity, how could Huang Taiji, a talented and bold monarch, give up.

Not to mention Jiannu dispatching troops and generals, it is impossible to mobilize tens of thousands of troops in an instant. However, Jiannu is different from the army of the Ming Dynasty. Most of his troops are gathered near the Shengjing Shenyang, and the Eight Banners are also very convenient to mobilize. Even so, it took the two of them five or six days to complete the transfer.While mobilizing the army, Huang Taiji sent people to inquire about Li Xin's movements.Waiting for Li Xin's army to come here, he is not in a hurry, because he knows that Li Xin drags his family and does not move quickly. It will be even more difficult to pass through the grassland. Most of his army is cavalry. It only takes a few days for the iron cavalry to go from Beijing to Dalinghe City. Wherever Li Xin goes, he will not be able to escape the Jiannu iron cavalry.This is where Huang Taiji is not in a hurry.

"Jiannu is mobilizing the army?" As the enemy of Jiannu, Zu Dashou, who is in Jinzhou, naturally got the news. He was surprised at first. After a year of preparation, no one knew what this Jiannu was doing, or preparing again. Attack the Central Plains, and Jinzhou is the first line of defense for Jiannu to attack the Central Plains, so Zu Dashou cannot be in a hurry.Hurry up and order the whole city to be on alert, and quickly pass the news to the capital that Jiannu is about to invade the Central Plains.

But Li Xin, who was sailing on the sea, didn't know that Huang Taiji had already grasped his whereabouts, and set up many ambushes on his return journey, preparing to kill him in one go.

At this time, he was heading towards Phi Island accompanied by Huang Long and others.Li Xin is very curious about this Pidao, which has left such a great reputation in history. Dongjiang Town in history is here. There was nothing he could do.

"Master Hou, there is Phi Island in the distance." Huang Long pointed to the dark shadow in the distance, and said, "Unfortunately, Dongjiang Town is no longer what it used to be. Who dares to rebel?"

"Northern people are good at riding, and southerners are good at boating. Compared with us Han people, Jiannu is even worse at sailing. If my sailors can set up and follow Phi Island, do you think Jiannu can sleep at night?" Li Xin calculated carefully. From Dengzhou, Shandong to Phi Island, he did not know how many islands he passed along the way, such as Zhangzi Island, Haiyang Island, Shicheng Island, Xiaolu Island, etc. There are hundreds of islands in total. There are as many as these islands, ranging from dozens of miles to several miles in size, like pearls dotted on the sea. Although the places are small, they are all located in strategic locations.
