Public and private, this is a thing that has been difficult to define clearly in all dynasties and dynasties until now. Even Zhang Juzheng, the only famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, when later generations commented, said that he had nine points of merit and one point, and they all said that he "had merit in the community and had a pass in the room". In other words, he is good for the country and the people in public service, but some private interests are still up for debate.

But I know that the second half of Li Chengliang's life can definitely be said to be due to private abolition, which is beyond doubt.

During the banquet, I talked to Li Chengliang many times about fighting against the Jurchens. His attitude was to capture the head of the thief and expel the remnant. And my attitude is - encircle, chase, intercept, kill, and live. On this point, our attitudes are very different and distinct.

In the end, the two sides agreed: Li Chengliang will go out of the fortress and fight a decisive battle with the Atai army and Gushan and Xunhe. I led reinforcements to continue northward to contain the Afghan naval situation near Shenyang, echoing Li Chengliang from afar, and acting as horns for each other.

At the end of the feast, we agreed with each other that whoever won first would return to support the other side. The face is naturally smiling and smiling, and everyone is happy.

After leaving the feast, I turned on my horse and silently returned to the camp to rest. The few people behind me also didn't say a word, just followed quietly.

It wasn't until I entered the barracks that I sat sullenly on the edge of the couch, and although I didn't smoke, I wanted to take a smo. The rest of the people don't know why, why are they so unhappy after such a big victory?

I don't say, and they don't ask. Until everyone dispersed, and only Lakshin was left in the house, he did not leave.

I looked up at him and knew that he had something to say, so I tilted my head, meaning to sit down and speak.

Rakshen saluted, sat down on the stool under my head, and after a moment of silence, said, "Sir, I don't know anything. ”

I raised my head, looked at Lakshin, and said lightly, "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing me reply, Rakshin smiled, and asked, "The brutes are powerful, and the gentleman is not pleased to defeat them; The Jurchen is lonely, but the husband is worried that it will not be completely destroyed. Rakshen is short-sighted, and somehow, hereby asks. ”

I don't know how to explain it to him, I can't say that in history, it was this turtle Nurhachi who established the Qing Dynasty and overthrew the Ming Dynasty, and misled the country for 300 years! I can only say that from the perspective of the people at that time, my approach was indeed a bit puzzling.

After thinking about it, I spoke: "The five elements of the Ming Dynasty belong to fire, and Wang is in the southwest. Now the dynasty is tired, like a dying old man, and the one who will be replaced by water in the future will be water. Nong, Haizi Chou, Northern Water. I once had the guidance of a superior that the Ming Dynasty originated in the Northeast, so I was particularly suspicious of the Jurchens. ”

Lakshin thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Mr. doesn't seem to be a person who listens to strange words, there must be another reason!" ”

I said in my heart, this kid really can't be fooled! Then he opened his mouth and continued: "When my master traveled north and south of the river, when he reached the Jurchen tribe, he saw the star fall in the local area, and at that time, three children were born in the local area, two of whom had died young, and only one was still alive. ”

Lakshin asked, "Where now?" ”

I sighed and said, "This man's name is Nurhachi, and he is a descendant of the Jurchens. After his ancestor was mistakenly killed by Li Chengliang, he rose up and is now making a living outside the Guan. ”

Rakshen said: "I haven't heard of this person, so I guess it's not very powerful." Why should you be so preoccupied with vain things, sir? ”

I was silent, and since Rakson followed me, he saw that I was confident in everything, but this time it seemed to be very entangled, and suddenly my mind turned, and I whispered: "With Mr.'s means, since you are so scruples about this person, why don't you ......" said and made a palm down cutting motion!

Well! Why didn't I think of this solution? This can really be there! Seeing that my eyes came alive, Laxon smiled and added, "If Mr. only cares about this person, then this method is feasible!" But ......"

I frowned and asked, "But what?" ”

Lakshin said in a low voice: "However, I'm afraid that if I press the gourd to float the scoop, Lakshen doesn't understand the cause and effect, and I don't know who this Nurhachi is, and I'm not sure if killing him will keep the Ming Dynasty safe!" So it's just a casual remark, sir, don't blame! ”

I bowed my head and pondered, it is true, who knows what the cause and effect are? If I do kill him, what if history is directed to a worse side? So he sighed and said in a low voice: "What you say is reasonable, let's go and see!" ”

The next day, after Li Chengliang and I met, we agreed to communicate with Tanma at any time, and I led 17,000 people to embark on a journey to Shenyang. And on the same day, I also received a communication from Liu Jianchun, who led the infantry team, that they had arrived fifty miles south of this place!

I didn't care about waiting for him, I just asked him to continue north as soon as possible and meet him in Shenyang.

Next, I led the cavalry team north at a not very urgent speed, and soon reached the city of Shenyang.

This big city in the north today was still a deserted city at that time. The earthen city walls are mottled with the shadows of war. There was a depression inside and outside the city, and there was no sign of the economic development brought about by the border trade. For the rest, there is only insensitivity.

I led my troops into the city, and Li Yibo, the general of Shenyang City, came to greet me. After I sat down, he told me about the recent military situation.

The Jurchen Ahai Department and the Atai Department have joined forces, and in recent days, as the left flank of the enemy's army, they have continuously attacked and harassed the city of Shenyang, and a few days ago they also plundered the county town of Hunhe. However, whenever the defenders attacked, Ahaibu immediately withdrew and did not engage in battle. So in his opinion, the Jurchens did not intend to conquer the city, but just wanted to loot and enrich the material population!

I don't see it that way, I think it's a temptation. It is not only a temptation for Li Chengliang, but also a temptation for Ataibu.

And the ensuing battle also fully proved my point of view - Li Chengliang and Ataibu, me and Ahaibu, caught each other's eyes and stared at each other. To put it bluntly, he Li Chengliang will not enter the army, and I will not enter the army. The other party is too, if Atai does not enter the army, Ahai will not move.

That's a temptation! It is the temptation of the enemy army to our army, and it is also the temptation of our army and our army, and the enemy army and the enemy army!

Leaning against the stove and holding a cup of tea, I can even clearly see the expressions of several people, or rather, psychological expressions.

Atai is under the banner of revenge, but in fact, he wants to fight the autumn wind;

As a coalition army, Ah Hai does not want to work hard for Ah Tai, but more to see the wind and rudder and reap benefits;

As for Li Chengliang, I don't know what the situation is between him and the Jurchens, but it can be seen from the official slogan shouted by Nurhachi when he raised his army: "Seven Great Hatreds", almost every sentence pointed to Li Chengliang, but Li Chengliang connived at Nurhachi:

The relationship between the two is by no means simple!

So he was not in a hurry to enter the army, but wanted to see what I was going to do with the clamoring to destroy the Jurchens.

As for me, I only care about Nurhachi, what Atai Ahai, Cat and Dog, who care? So, I sat more firmly than anyone else.

Every day, I asked my generals to lead the cavalry around to make sure that there was no enemy invasion and swear an oath of safety. It wasn't until half a month later that Liu Jianchun's infantry team arrived, and I hadn't even fought a battle.

More precisely, on several occasions our troops encountered the Ahai Division. The two sides stared at each other for a while, and even scolded each other for a long time! I thought I was going to do it soon, but I was like the stupid cute corgi who didn't move their hands in the online video, seeing that they were about to wipe the gun, and suddenly turned around and left at the same time!

I couldn't help laughing and scolding: Is this Ah Hai singing two people with me?

Li Yibo asked, "What is a two-person turn?" ”

I glanced at him with great disdain, and said in my heart, "You are a Northeast person asking me what is the two-person turn? After thinking about it, I'm afraid that there is no such "modern" form of entertainment as a two-person turn at this time! In a relaxed mood, he smiled and said, "Just go back and teach you!" ”

But I didn't expect that just this sentence would bring a great impetus to the development of the entertainment industry in Northeast China in the future! Of course, I always feel as if it's not very honorable to talk about it, so I won't mention it!

Who hasn't been younger?

In this way, in this kind of lazy confrontation and temptation, two months have passed, and it has reached the end of May, and it will be June.

I also began to get anxious in my heart, after all, what is the situation of my second uncle in the Jingshi, Yangshou and geometry, I really don't know the bottom of my heart. But Li Chengliang still looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, so I couldn't make the first move.

After discussing with everyone to no avail, I thought about it, quietly wrote a letter, and asked me to take a few people with no regrets and rush back to Jizhou overnight, and hand over the letter to Qi Dudu in person.

A few days later, Qi Dudu's reply arrived. I looked at it and smiled slightly.

In the end, it is Qi Dudu who knows me best.

In my letter, I simply stated the current situation and my doubts, and asked for advice.

Qi Dudu replied with eight words: "Except for yourself, you are all enemies!" ”

I took the reply and thought about it, I really don't mean you in my heart! actually asked me to calculate Li Chengliang!

What he said is an enemy, of course, he didn't want me to attack Li Chengliang, but to let me use stratagems to promote and trend Li Chengliang to be used by me and moved by me!

Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing. I closed the letter and wrote another text message asking me to send it back without regrets. But I called Lakshen, Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao and Kite, entered my military tent to discuss things, and muttered for a long time. The Nine Ghosts and Kite went their separate ways, and only me and Lakshin were left in the tent.

This young man held a cup of milk tea, blew it, drank it, and said with a smile: "Sir, you are too yin!" You can think of such a bad move! ”

I also took a sip of milk tea, to be honest, it is not delicious, the milk taste is too much, and it is delicious without the flavor of fragrant drifting! Smacked his lips, and then said lazily: "There is no way to do this, and besides, you are the mastermind, how can you blame me?" ”

Rakshen and I looked at each other, and we both laughed at the same time!
