The loss of Liaoyang caused the situation in the entire eastern Liaodong to collapse instantly, and a large number of soldiers and civilians west of the Liaohe River directly abandoned the stronghold checkpoints and withdrew to the western Liaoxi corridor.

For these people, Sun Chengzong did not embarrass them, and withdrew them all to the rear, of course, he nominally said that the situation collapsed, Guangning could not be defended, and the only way to retreat to the customs was to rely on Shanhaiguan to resist.

Sun Chengzong's remarks made countless generals angry, and they asked for orders one after another, wanting to build a defense line and snipe the Jurchen Tartars, and then none of our governors agreed, and all of them were transferred behind Ning Yuan. The conscientious Lord Sun played a good role as a mediocre man who won the emperor's trust.

The Governor is like this, the appearance of the low-level soldiers below can be imagined, the morale is so low that it is beyond measure, and there have even been several mutinies, with the help of Sun Chengzong, the current situation is even worse than the situation in the second year of the Apocalypse in history.

However, this is exactly what Zhu Youxiao and he wanted. With the assistance of Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong showed a terrifying strategic control ability, and everything was running in an orderly manner under his arrangement, step by step towards the established plan.

Sun Degong has already been sent out, and from his feedback, he can know that he has hooked up with the traitor Li Yongfang opposite, and he is waiting for the situation to reverse. If Sun Degong was bribed by the other party, with such a high-level spy Neiying, no matter how much Huang Taiji tried to stop him, it would be useless, and Nuer Hachi would definitely attack again.

As soon as he comes out, he is destined to become a turtle in an urn.

"Now that Sun Degong has been released, all that remains is to wait for the fish to take the bait!" Sun Chengzong smiled slightly, his smile was full of strong confidence, but he sighed sadly for a while, "It's just a pity that the old man's reputation is a pity!" ”

At this time, it has been almost ten days since the loss of Liaoyang, and such a huge and shocking news has already spread all over the north and south of the river.

In their minds, if it weren't for the emperor's change of generals, the situation in Liaodong would be so bad, and if Xiong Tingbi was there, he would be able to protect Liaoyang and maintain stability.

The people are boiling, the officialdom is also noisy and abnormal, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is like crazy, and the imperial history of all sizes has impeached Sun Chengzong for delaying the military plane and ruining state affairs, and he should be beheaded!

Of course, at this time, the emperor was no longer in the city, and all the twists and turns were collected by the first assistant Li Ruhua, and in the face of so many angry accusations, he did not say the specific plan of Sun Chengzong for reasons of secrecy, but it would not work if he did not deal with it. In desperation, he could only learn from the former dynasty Wanli, and all the twists and turns were left behind.

However, such a scene of ultramarine's anger also occurred in Jingshi and several northern provinces, after crossing the Huai River and the Yangtze River, such scenes became less and less, and the emotions of the scholars and ordinary people were not so intense. After all, Liaodong is too far away from the south of the Yangtze River, and any war that occurs in the far north is like watching a play, with a leisurely attitude.

Of course, this is only the surface of the situation, when the news of the collapse of the situation in Liaodong came, some people were sad, and naturally some people were happy.

Hirado, Japan, there are a lot of ships in the port today, most of these ships are very dilapidated, there are traces of repair everywhere, and there are dark red traces, at a glance you know that they are pirate ships, this is just an ordinary gathering of pirates.

However, if you look at the white flags with the surnames of the camps on these boats, everyone will be surprised, because the last one has plums, and the other has the character Xu. This can't help but surprise people, because those who have a little insight understand the forces represented behind this, one is Li Dan, and the other is Xu Xinsu.

Li Dan monopolized the trade with Japan and had great influence on the sea, while Xu Xinsu has always had a wide network of contacts and a variety of means in the mainland.

"Come, big brother, let me introduce you to you, this is the third son of Wang, the son-in-law of the Moling Wang family." Xu Xinsu blushed and said loudly in a drunken daze.

"I'm glad I will." Li Dan's face was also a little red, but he was very deep in the city, and he just responded to the third prince of Wang not lightly.

He looked at his brother in bewilderment, and didn't know why he called an outsider when the two were drinking, and introduced him to him.

"Big brother, let me tell you, although the third prince of Wang fled overseas, he is a person with both abilities, and he has a big event and wants to invite the eldest brother to participate." Xu Xinsu said with a big tongue, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a trace of strange clarity, which was incomprehensible.

"What?" Li Dan asked, his alcohol consumption was very good, and he was only three points drunk at the moment.

"Without him, I just hope that Chief Li can help Yu and attack Nanjing and cut off Caoyun." Wang San smiled, but said something earth-shattering.

"What?" Sure enough, Li Dan was shocked, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground.

"Hehe, a little thing, why is Chief Li so panicked." Wang Sangongzi asked with a faint mockery. From the extermination of the Nine Clans to the successful escape overseas, he was thoroughly trained, and the hardships and dangerous encounters also stimulated the potential in his heart and made his mind extremely tough.

Put together, he will never be able to say such words, but now he is casual and ordinary, and the person who walks around on the edge of life and death is very different from ordinary people.

"Is this still a trifle?" Li Dan asked in surprise, "Nanjing is the national capital, and Caoyun is the lifeblood of the north, if one of the two has an accident, the world will be shaken, and you want to move these two this time, what are you trying to plot?" ”

"Huh!" Wang San just smiled and didn't answer, but put a piece of paper in front of Li Dan.

Picking up the paper, Li Dan looked puzzled, Sun Chengzong lost Liaoyang, Liaodong Jurchen was powerful, in order to avoid the edge, Sun Chengzong wanted to withdraw all the staff into Shanhaiguan and give up the entire Liaodong.

"Emperor Ming lost his division and humiliated the country, at this time lost the entire Liaodong, the emperor's throne has been unstable, and its position is not right, now there are still the first emperor's testament and edict in circulation, at this time only need an army to deviate from the division, attack Nanjing, cut off the Cao Yun, and then in the name of the Qing monarch's side, along the canal, the big thing can be done." The third prince of Wang talked eloquently, and with a concise speech, he clearly and straightforwardly revealed his purpose.

Its strong self-confidence and ambition are obvious. Facing the high-spirited third prince of Wang, Li Dan seemed to be weak in vain, and he didn't know what to do.

"I don't know if Leader Li is willing to participate in the grand event!" Wang San smiled slightly, disappreciated, and sent out his own invitation.

"Yes, big brother, this is a great opportunity, after the matter is completed, you and I can be crowned high-ranking officials, and from now on bid farewell to the pirate body and move freely." Next to him, Xu Xinsu also persuaded earnestly, looking at his eager tone, it was obvious that he had already secretly fallen to the third prince of Wang.

"Brother...... You?! However, it was obvious that Li Dan didn't know about Xu Xinsu's change, because he was a little surprised at the moment and didn't understand why the other party was involved.

"Big brother, don't hesitate, join in!" Xu Xinsu didn't care, but began to persuade his sworn brother.

Wang San didn't speak, just looked at all this with a smile, and didn't seem to care about success or not. He looked relaxed and leisurely, but after a glance at the persuasion scene, he focused on the white porcelain wine glass in his hand, as if the white porcelain wine glass in his hand was a rare thing, and he should play and observe it.

"Brother, you don't need to say it, big brother will never wade into this troubled water." Who knew that Li Dan didn't eat Xu Xinsu's set at all, and directly and categorically refused, with a tough tone and no room for negotiation.

"Let's go, I'll treat you as if you've never been here today." Li Dan picked up the teacup and made a send-off look.

Although Wang San's short words just now revealed that in addition to many things, such as that he at least knew or knew where the edict was, Nanjing, the canal, and even the Beijing Division had his accomplices, Li Dan just didn't want to participate, not for anything else, just because of the experience of Wang Zhi, the owner of Wufeng.

Historically, the cooperation between pirates and the government has not ended well, not to mention far away, let's just say this dynasty, Wang Zhi seventy or eighty years ago is the best example, Li Dan does not think that his power at this time is as big as Wang Zhi, but the officials said that they would kill Wang Zhi, and they had no worries at all.

Wang Zhi is like this, not to mention him Li Dan, although he yearns for an innocent and normal life, he is even more afraid of being killed by others. Therefore, he would rather let go of this opportunity than take risks, and would rather die with the hat of a pirate than die without knowing it.

"Big brother, you!" Xu Xinsu looked at Li Dan's firm attitude, showing a look of pity, but under these, there are some other things, regret? Bemoan? Commiseration?

Li Dan looked at his brother and didn't understand why the other party had such emotions, but before he could understand, Wang Sangongzi, who had been watching quietly, spoke in vain.

"It's a pity that I can't work with Chief Li, since that......'s the case," Wang Sangongzi, who had been smiling, changed his face in vain at this moment, and slammed the quilt in his hand on the ground.

With a bang, the white porcelain wine glass suddenly shattered and made a loud noise.

Boom, the gate was pushed open, and a group of people with big swords and weapons rushed in, surrounding Li Dan.

"Zheng Zhilong, Yan Siqi, what are you trying to do?" Li Dan looked at the visitor in surprise, his face was full of incredulity, it seemed that the other party was able to break into here, and it was also for the other party's means of acting

"Since Chief Li doesn't know the current affairs, he has no choice but to send you on his way!" Wang San said coldly.

"You guys!" Li Dan roared angrily, but what greeted him was the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, and the sound of the battle of the sword clashing was loud and loud.

And after Wang Sangongzi said that sentence, he didn't look at the situation after that, Shi Shiran walked out of the materials, raised his eyes to the west, his eyes were calm, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
