Han ride

Chapter 57 The Righteousness of Li Xin

Li Xinxin was very proud, and he glanced at Shi Yuanzhi approvingly. It is good to have a counselor, who can say what he wants to say but is not easy to say.

"Brothers, since you are willing to follow me, Li Xin, I, Li Xin, am very grateful." Holding Fang Tian's painting halberd in his hand, Li Xin roared loudly. "We are Han people. Whether we follow the court or form a rebel army, we all have a common enemy in the land of Liaodong, and that is Jiannu. Kill Jiannu."

"Follow the lord, kill Jianu, kill Jianu." Yang Xiong rolled his eyes and roared loudly.

"Follow the lord, kill Jiannu, kill Jiannu." Xu Sanduo and other Changping disciples couldn't help roaring loudly. When he opened it, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

"Hateful." Dorgon's complexion was uncertain at the moment in the slave camp in the distance, as if he had thought of something, he slammed his whip on the ground.

"Brother Fourteen, the opponent's reinforcements have arrived. Even if we go to attack now, I'm afraid we won't get any benefits! You must know that what these Ming Dynasty people like most is to attack with a large force." Duoduo persuaded: "We I just went through a big battle, so it might be inappropriate to provoke Sun Chengzong at this time. Since Sun Chengzong has come, we should tell the emperor and let him handle the matter."

"That's right. Fourteen Baylor, Sun Chengzong is the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty. When he comes, it means that all the troops in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty have come. We can deal with Li Xin. Now let's deal with Sun Chengzong , I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult.” Yue Tuo tried to persuade him.

"Do you think it was really Sun Chengzong? We were all fooled." Dorgon pointed viciously into the distance, and said, "Where is Sun Chengzong? If there is no accident, it is the foreshadowing laid by Li Xin." Hum, those so-called flags are all fake. If it is true, then Sun Chengzong is also a man who knows how to fight. How could he give up such a good opportunity? He will definitely come to attack us and wait there. That voice is just Li Xin's voice. What kind of official is Li Xin? He doesn't have any official titles, not to mention Sun Chengzong, even Song Wei, Wu Xiang and others are also above Li Xin. Why do these soldiers listen to Li Xin? From this, it can be concluded that the one above is not Sun Chengzong at all, but those hundreds of people from Li Xin pretending to be there. If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to take a look later.” Duoduo and the others were shocked when they heard this. Surprise, followed by a burst of anger.Clenching his fists tightly, looking at the hilltop in the distance, he could vaguely see that the opponent's flag was slowly moving backwards, and then he saw dozens of horsemen and horses rushing down from the hill and galloping towards the south.

"Brother Fourteen, do you want to chase those dozen people back?" Duoduo saw clearly.

"No need, they are going to Jinzhou." Dorgon shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's meet Li Xin. Maybe he will leave us something good at this time." Dorgon shook his head mockingly .

Sure enough, when they reached the top of the mountain, they found that there were only one place's flags left at the foot of the mountain. These flags were exactly the ones that everyone saw just now. Dorgon could also tell that these flags were made hastily, and the names on them were all written with a brush, and when they were thrown into the water, they disappeared without a trace.

"It's really hateful." Duduo's face was burning hot, and now he was so ashamed that he was frightened by a few fake flags and let Li Xin, an enemy like this, go.Once this matter spreads, how can the two brothers gain a foothold in the court.Wouldn't he be laughed to death by that Hauge?

"They tied the branches to the horse's tail and ran back and forth, so there was smoke and dust everywhere." Azig said bitterly: "Now we are all fooled." Yue Tuo also nodded, fists clenched tightly Well, the four of Dorgon can be regarded as famous generals of the new generation in the imperial court. Now it's all right, but they were actually played by Li Xin on top of the applause, how could he bear it.

"Li Xin's escape is second, the key is that his strength has increased." Dorgon looked into the distance and sighed.

"Why did Brother Fourteen make such remarks?" Duoduo asked curiously.

"The dozen or so people who left just now were led by generals dressed up. If I guessed correctly, this person is Songshan guard Shi Dayong." Dorgon said quietly: "On the battlefield, Songshan who was left by Li Xin There are at least hundreds of soldiers. Where did so many people go? Why didn’t they leave with Shi Dayong? There is only one result, that is, these people were all recruited by Li Xin, and Li Xin’s army increased by hundreds of people. Hundreds of people are Matsuyama elites, people who can fight without training at all. If we add the Han people who were recruited from our side before, Li Xin's soldiers and horses will probably be close to 2000. Hehe, 2000! Enough to fight We are threatened."

"There are so many people?" Duo Dou didn't know, but he immediately felt that Li Xin now has nearly 2000 people. When Li Xin had hundreds of people, he asked Dorgon to wait. People are in a mess, and now that there are more people in his hands, Li Xin may be even more difficult to deal with.

"Then Li Xin hit the nail on the head!" Dorgon said with a wry smile, "He came to rescue Shi Dayong, and he came here for these 2000 people. He crossed the battlefield and rescued all of them, which means he is theirs." Gathering up the morale of a benefactor is also extremely simple, but what is hateful is that we actually helped him easily win up the morale of hundreds of people.” At this moment, Dorgon finally understood why Li Xin, after saving some of them, Coming to save another group of people, the key is that he can easily gather the morale of these people.

"Brother Fourteen, what should we do now?" Duoduo asked unwillingly.

"What else can we do? Li Xin has become a scourge, which cannot be dealt with by ordinary people. Leave this matter to the emperor!" Dorgon shook his head. At this moment, he really doesn't know how to solve the problem in front of him. !
Not to mention that Dorgon is worrying, how to explain this matter to Huang Taiji.At this moment, Li Xin had already led the army towards his camp.Although I was prepared for Shi Dayong's final departure, I still felt disappointed.

"My lord, do you feel sorry for Shi Dayong?" Shi Yuanzhi asked softly when he saw Li Xin's appearance beside him.

"Shi Dayong is very brave, and more importantly, he trains good infantry. Look at his Changping soldiers, they are all elite. It would be great if this man can stay!" Li Xin's foundation is in At the start-up stage, the more talents the better.

"The students think that if Shi Dayong stays at this moment, it will be bad for the lord." Shi Yuan shook his head and said.

"Why?" Li Xin looked at Shi Yuan and asked directly.

"Shi Dayong is loyal. This can be seen from his return to Jinzhou City. This person stays in the army. In the future, the court has orders. He will still obey the court, not the lord." Shi Yuan touched directly. Beard, and said: "My lord, do you know how many Changping soldiers went back with us this time? There are 810 people in total. These are the elite who have survived a hundred battles. Such a force has joined our army. How can the lord What to do? If Shi Dayong is here, in order to appease Shi Dayong, my lord can only hand over these soldiers and horses to Shi Dayong to command."

Li Xin nodded. Throughout the ages, people who defected to him have mostly been promised by high-ranking officials with huge profits. For Li Xin now, he can only hand over these Changping soldiers to Shi Dayong, but so, is Li Xin at ease?
"Now that Shi Dayong is leaving, it just gives the lord an excuse to disrupt all these Changping soldiers and mix them with our soldiers. This will not only greatly increase our army's battles in a short period of time, but more importantly The most important thing is that the lord can easily control this army, and after these Changping soldiers are disrupted, they will have no chance to resist." Shi Yuanzhi said without thinking.

"Hehe, what Yuan Zhi said, hehe, goes deep into my heart." Li Xin chuckled and said, "If we add these 800 people, our army will have 500 soldiers capable of fighting. Including five hundred cavalry and one thousand infantry."

"My lord, the students think that my lord should increase the size of the cavalry!" Shi Yuanzhi thought for a while and said, "If my lord has [-] cavalry, it's not something ordinary people can do in the future."

"Yes, the cavalry is very important. But there is one more important thing." Li Xin thought for a while and said: "That is righteousness. Look, if we have righteousness, will he leave Shi Dayong?",

"My lord wants to join the court?" Shi Yuanzhi said in surprise.

"Not now." Li Xin shook his head and said, "What is righteousness? Throughout the ages, those who have achieved great things must seek righteousness. Chu Xiang supported King Huai, Cao Cao supported Emperor Xian, and even Emperor Taizu supported King Xiaoming back then. Yes. This is what they are looking for. If we have righteousness, we must either rely on the clan of the Ming Dynasty to achieve righteousness, or become righteous by ourselves. Yuan Zhi, you said that if we turn to Emperor Chongzhen now, will there be righteousness?"

"Now my lord, if he joins Chongzhen, hehe, I'm afraid Sun Chengzong and the others will eat up all of my lord's troops." Shi Yuanzhi said without thinking.

"If that's the case, let's achieve righteousness by myself." Li Xin said through gritted teeth: "I don't have any foundation now, so I can only use victory to guide the people around me, and then slowly find the righteousness. I think the Ming Dynasty probably It won’t be able to last for a few years, so we are now accumulating strength, and then take advantage of the weakening of the Ming Dynasty to find righteousness.”

"Hey, in fact, the lord has righteousness in his hands now." Shi Yuanzhi nodded, suddenly thought of something, and laughed.

"The righteousness in my hand?" Li Xin looked at Shi Yuanzhi in surprise.He really doesn't know what righteousness he has in his hands!

"Destroy Jianu." Shi Yuan pointed directly into the distance and said, "My lord is Han. Jiannu has repeatedly attacked us in the Central Plains, so he is the enemy of our Han people. My lord wants to destroy Jianu. As long as my lord holds such a banner, then my lord It means that there is righteousness. Even if Sun Chengzong and others know about it, there is nothing they can do about it. Emperor Chongzhen will not take any measures against the lord in the open. This is different from those conspirators in the Central Plains. They want to What the lord wants is the country of the Ming Dynasty, but what the lord wants is to eliminate Jiannu. As long as the banner of Zhongxing Dahan is raised, the righteousness is in the hands of the lord. To uphold this righteousness, as long as the lord does not take the initiative to invade the passes and cities of the Ming Dynasty, Then no one dares to say anything about the lord? People in the world can only praise the lord, not abuse the lord."

"That's right, what Yuan Zhi said is good." Li Xin's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly and said, "I'm so stupid. It turns out that righteousness is in my hands, but I don't know how to use it. Let's hold this banner later and see Let's see who dares to pick on us."

"My lord is wise." Seeing that Li Xin had adopted his suggestion, Shi Yuan showed a hint of excitement on his face.

"500 people, I want to train them all into cavalry." Li Xin thought for a while and said: "Since we can't go to the Central Plains in a short time, we should go to the grassland. We will develop and grow on the grassland, and build Slave Zhouxuan, over the years, the number of Han Chinese who have been looted from our Central Plains by Jian Nu is probably hundreds of thousands, and the number of Han Chinese living on the grassland is also a huge number. As long as I establish a force on the grassland, I will There are many Han people who have come to join us, and my strength will not continue to grow. On the grassland, it is impossible without cavalry."

"My lord's capture of the grassland is a great move. Not to mention his own strength, Emperor Chongzhen will not trouble the lord because of it." Shi Yuanzhi nodded, and said: "Since the rise of Jiannu, he has fought against the Mongolian Lindan Khan. For more than ten years, it can be said that at this time, the grassland is in chaos, which is just suitable for the lord to fish in the troubled waters. If Lin Danhan can be defeated, the lord will replace him with Lin Danhan's forces, then he can fight with the Central Plains and Jiannu. The world is divided. Why not worry about such a master's great cause!" Shi Yuanzhi became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Hehe! Yuan Zhi, these are things for the future. What we need to do now is to refine the army and weaken the army of slaves. This time the imperial court sent reinforcements. Presumably there will be reinforcements coming soon. At that time, we can Take the opportunity to acquire soldiers and horses, and form a force. If not, in the decisive battle, it can severely defeat Jiannu and lay the foundation for us to seize the grassland." Li Xin said softly with a stern expression.

Shi Yuan beside him nodded his head straight, admiring in his heart, although he had said something, but apparently, the lord beside him probably had already planned, such a long-term plan cannot be figured out all at once. It can be seen that Li Xin is an ambitious person.However, he, Shi Yuan, liked it.
