Shenyang.

Li Ruzhen's face was cloudy and he looked at the secret letter in his hand.

This was written to him by Xu Xianchun.

Li Ruzhen has been in the capital for nearly 40 years, and he once used to be the right governor of Jinyi Wei in charge of the North and South Zhenfu Division, and he naturally has a friendship with a noble son like Xu Xianchun, and it is normal for the latter to send him a letter, but the content of this letter is ......

"Governor Li, there are no outsiders here, and Brother Chen and Xu Yi can be called irreversible, I have something to say directly. Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the military department, is determined to put you to death this time, I have to say that the governor is still too impulsive, why do you have to fight for that tone? It has long been a practice for the Ming Dynasty to be noble and cheap, and those civil servants are not afraid of building slaves and making trouble, and they don't care about the victory or defeat of the front line, all they care about is that the military generals can't turn over, and the military generals must listen to the civil ministers. This time it's not just you, before Jizhen Zhongjun Xu Yingzhao was directly dismissed by the Ministry of War because he made inappropriate remarks in front of Wang Keshou, he just said a few words of dissatisfaction, you are blatantly provoking them.

Huang Jiashan recommended you at the beginning.

But now that you're doing that, he has to do something to avoid being reviled by the civil authorities.

Xu Yishi overheard Huang Jiashan secretly playing in front of His Majesty when he was on duty, and blamed the wild boar skin for the Li family's self-respect, saying that if there was no connivance from Ling Zun and Ning Yuanbo, how could the wild boar skin come to this, that is, the Li family played with Kou's self-respect, and deliberately supported the wild boar skin to show the importance of the Li family in Liaodong, and finally caused this catastrophe, and even the defeat of Salhu was deliberately defeated by Xiaocheng's public and private conspirators, and he wanted His Majesty to take this opportunity to eradicate the Li family in one fell swoop.

His Majesty naturally won't listen to him.

His Majesty still recites Ning Yuanbo's merits.

But Brother Ling was defeated by Salhu before, and you abandoned Tieling, which was too disappointing for Your Majesty, and even the emperor's eldest grandson chatted with Zaixia, and he was quite dissatisfied with Brother Ling. At this time, if those ministers take the opportunity to bewitch Your Majesty, it is difficult to guarantee what will happen, you have been guarding for forty years, and you know that Your Majesty has always been helpless against these ministers. ”

Yang Xin said.

The letter, of course, was forged.

But the envelope is real, and it is still stamped with Xu Xianchun's private seal, but the letter inside is forged by Chen Yujie, imitating Xu Xianchun's handwriting, telling Li Ruzhen that Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the military department, is preparing to kill him as an example because of the dispute between him and Wang Keshou last time, so as to dispel the generals' attempts to turn over, so that those generals are dead of this heart. In addition, it is also to find a scapegoat for the defeat of Salhu, after all, three of the four generals who participated in the war are now dead, and only his brother Li Rubai is alive, so naturally he will be blamed for all the crimes. Moreover, the Li family has dominated Liaodong for decades, and his brother Li Rusong has led the whole army with military generals several times, and those civil servants have long wanted to get rid of the Li family.

Na Wenchen naturally wanted to start.

It would be better if he came to Liaodong to win a beautiful battle, but as soon as he came, he lost Tieling, so how could Wanli protect him?

These can't be considered fake, Li Ruzhen has aroused the anger of civil officials because of the dispute between Shanhaiguan and Wang Keshou etiquette, and the more civil officials are at this time, the more vigilant the military generals are to take the opportunity to turn over. And what the Li family did in Liaodong They themselves know very well, and it is also true that Wenchen wants to blame the Li family for the rise of wild boar skin. Wanli really wants to protect them, but Wanli can't stand the words, Li Ruzhen knows this better than Yang Xin, it can be said that these are all facts, that is, Li Ruzhen himself knows it in his heart, but let Xu Xianchun use secret letters to make it more conclusive.

Fake handwriting is not worth mentioning.

Even if Li Ruzhen has a relationship with Xu Xianchun, he can't be familiar with his handwriting to the point where he can distinguish between the serious and the fake.

The important thing is that it's all true.

"Brother!"

Li Ruzhen silently handed the letter to his brother.

Li Rubai has been dismissed from his post and will soon be called to the capital for investigation, but he committed suicide after being beaten by civilian officials.

"They really want to destroy my Li family!"

Li Rubai sighed.

"It's not that there is no way, in the end, Your Majesty still maintains the Li family, but the Li family's two battles have disappointed him too much, Your Majesty wants you to come to solve the wild boar skin, Your Majesty believes in the Li family. But the performance of the two, let's not say who is responsible, Salhu is a fiasco after all, Tieling is lost after all, this is the case, even if Your Majesty still wants to continue to defend the Li family, how to face those officials?

The only way is for the two of you to give His Majesty a victory.

Let His Majesty know that the Li family is still useful.

The Li family can also break the enemy for His Majesty.

As long as His Majesty still believes in the Li family and can use this victory to gag the mouth of the imperial history, then the Li family can at least save their lives, in the final analysis, the Li family is fighting for Your Majesty, as long as the Li family can still fight, then Your Majesty will not give up on you.

This ideal is understood by both of you. ”

Chen Yujie said.

What he said is very straightforward, Wanli trusts and maintains the Li family because the Li family is useful, but one of you is defeated by Salhu and the other is lost Tieling, it can already be said that it is useless, if you are useless, then why does Wanli want to protect you? If you want Wanli to defend you and fight with civil officials for you, first of all, you have to prove that you are still useful, and you still have the value of maintenance.

"For example,"

Yang Xin looked at the Li family brothers and said, "Counterattack Tieling!" ”

It was rumored in later generations that Li Rubai deliberately lost Salhu, because the Li family did not get any benefits after that, Li Rubai committed suicide, Li Ruzhen was imprisoned for more than ten years, and Chongzhen was re-released after four years, and the Li family can be said to have completely declined.

They should not be able to do it purely in their abilities.

"That's tantamount to suicide!"

Li Rubai shook his head and said.

"If it were only us, it would indeed be impossible to recapture Tieling, but it may not be possible with fried flowers."

Yang Xin said.

"Fried flowers have an enmity with my Li family."

Li Rubai said.

"But he won't get along with the silver, the wild boar skin captured Tieling, most of the hoarded materials in the city are still there, as long as he promises to recapture Tieling, except for our people in the city, other money and food are taken at will, plus the 10,000 taels promised by Xiong Jingluo, the fried flowers will inevitably be tempted, even if the wild boar skin can give him a part, can he still take it like us?"

Yang Xin said.

"But the wild boar skin captured Zai Sai, and the fried flowers can't ignore Zai Sai!"

Li Ruzhen said.

"Where is Zaisai now?"

Yang Xin asked.

"As far as I know, it should be temporarily imprisoned by the boar skin in the Tieling Bell Tower."

Li Ruzhen said.

"That's easy, Yang went to save him when he opened Tieling!"

Yang Xin said.

Brother Li Rubai was dumbfounded.

"Is it hard? In case you don't know, I just saved Delgrad in Yeh City! ”

Yang Xin said.

"How did you save Delgrad?"

Li Rubai was stunned.

Of course, Yang Xin knew that Xiong Tingbi had already passed on the head of Yidu to Shenyang, and then he had to pass it all the way to the capital, one of the five ministers of wild boar skin, and even his current identity was second only to the four major Baylors. He is the commander-in-chief of the left wing of the wild boar skin, which is equivalent to the commander of the front army, in fact, he is also the commander of the attack on Yehe East City, and he is at the same level as Dai Shan, who attacked the west city, but he still has the wild boar skin personally commanding along the way. Wild boar skin was stationed in Shanyan City, and he was stationed outside as a former enemy commander to be responsible for surrounding Yehe City, but in a daze, Yang Xin touched into the tent and directly cut off people's heads.

Of course, such a person should pass on the head of the capital.

But what Yang Xin did in Yehe City, Li Rubai and these people don't know.

Yang Xin described it again.

The point is that the wild boar skin suffered heavy losses, and he has to make the Li family brothers pluck up courage, but fortunately, he has the head of Yidu to testify, and he still has a lot to say on this issue.

"Two, you still don't understand your current situation, Xiong Jingluo has already played, asking His Majesty to remove Li Dudu's post as the commander of the Liao Army, and replace him with Li Huaixin, who is coming. That is to say, not only General Xiao Cheng wants to enter the capital to wait for the crime, Li Dudu, you estimate that it will not be long before you have to be the same as Brother Ling, if the two of you still don't want to save yourself, and when you arrive in the capital, then I am afraid you can only go to the edict. ”

Chen Yujie continued to scare.

But this is also a fact, Xiong Tingbi has absolutely no good impression of Li Rubai, and he did remove Li Rubai from his post and replace him with Li Huaixin.

The latter had an elite house slave army of seven hundred men in his hands.

"Brother Yang, if you can really persuade the fried flowers, then my Li family will fight this one!"

Li Rubai gritted his teeth and said.

"You have to try it or not, but you can't let Xiong Tingbi know!"

Yang Xin said.

This really can't let Xiong Tingbi know, Xiong Tingbi's strategy is to shrink, let Jin Taiji drag the boar skin for the dead ghost, and then use the remaining remnants of the defeated generals to maintain the defense line as much as possible. As for the counterattack on Tieling, reinforcements from all walks of life must arrive, according to his plan, at least 180,000 troops, and another 90,000 horses must be required to carry out the counterattack.

At this time, the counteroffensive is a purely strategic adventure.

As for hindsight......

If Tieling is recaptured, then Xiong Tingbi will naturally shut up.

If it fails......

Failure is about Yang Xin's, the general army of Shenyang to aid Liao is Li Ruzhen, he is just a civilian, how can he have the power to mobilize the army, so the responsible person is still Li Ruzhen.

Anyway, Li Ruzhen is going to be dismissed, so let him carry one more pot.

"That's natural, Li is still the chief soldier, whether the Shenyang army counterattacks Tieling, Li still has the right to call the shots, but we have to contact He Shixian first, if there is any change in the fried flowers, this Shenyang has to rely on He Shixian."

Li Ruzhen said.

He Shixian is in Hupiyi, which is the Shili River between Shenyang and Liaoyang.

"Isn't this settled with a silver ticket?"

Yang Xin said with a smile.

The brothers of the Li family looked at each other and smiled bitterly, it was obvious that this time they were going to bleed, not only He Shixian, but also those under him had to pay their own money to reward them, and if they wanted to counterattack, they had to smash out the morale with silver first......

"Governor Li, Xu Yishi doesn't want to be involved in this matter, this letter ......"

Chen Yujie pointed to the letter and stopped talking.

"But Li was negligent!"

Li Ruzhen said with a smile.

With that, he placed the letter on the flame of the candle......
