When Chongzhen heard that Sun Chengzong was coming, his spirits couldn't help but lift his spirits, and he said, "Hurry up!" ”

"The minions obey." Zhong Desheng retreated and said in a loud voice: "Xuanda scholar Sun Chengzong has come to see you!" ”

Sun Chengzong's character is childish, called Kaiyang, a native of Gaoyang, and was a teacher of Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong. Wang Zaijin was not effective in defending Liao, so Ming Xizong replaced Wang Zaijin with Sun Chengzong as the Jiliao Governor, built a 200-mile defense line in Ningjin, and led an army of 110,000 with outstanding merits, and was jealous of Wei Zhongxian, so he resigned and returned to his hometown.

When Huang Taiji besieged Kyoto the year before last, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen urgently summoned Sun Chengzong to strategize and repel the Qing army, and then supervised Jiliao, commanded the Ming army to recover the four cities of Yongping, and supervised the military affairs of Liaodong to defend Houjin.

Sun Chengzong's appearance is wonderful, there is a compelling heroic spirit on his face, although he is close to ancient times, his steps are still very healthy, I saw him stride to the hall, bow and bow: "The old minister Sun Chengzong knocked to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

"Sun Aiqing, please get up!" Chongzhen hurriedly signaled.

After Sun Chengzong bowed, he got up and stood aside.

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Sun Aiqing, how is the situation in Liaodong now?" ”

Sun Chengzong replied: "Emperor Qiqi, since the Tartars retired from Liaodong last year, the old minister asked Zu Dashou He Kegang and others to strengthen the defense of the fortress towns of the Ningjin defense line, especially the Daling River. ”

Chongzhen nodded and said: "Sun Aiqing supervises Ji Liao, Su has made many achievements, so according to Sun Aiqing's opinion, manpower, money and food, and the Ministry of Household and Industry should all be strongly supported." ”

"Emperor Xie!" Sun Chengzong said loudly, his voice was loud.

"By the way, Sun Aiqing, I don't know what you think about the banditry in Lingchuan City?" Chongzhen said.

"Emperor Qiqi, this Mo Li also knew that his personality was still loyal and brave, but I am afraid that there is some misunderstanding, and the old minister thinks that he should still be appeased." Sun Chengzong replied.

"Oh? Sun Aiqing also advocates appeasement? Chongzhen pondered for a while and said, "Since all the ministers are in favor of appeasement, then okay, I will give this Mo Li a chance." How about leaving Sun Aiqing's matter to you? ”

"The old minister's order." Sun Chengzong hurriedly knelt down and said: "My emperor, please rest assured, the old minister will definitely live up to his mission." ”

Wen Tiren saw that Chongzhen had made up his mind, so he stopped talking.

Not long after Sun Chengzong stated to Chongzhen about Liaodong's armament affairs, he began to prepare for the appeasement of Moli.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Moli received news that the imperial court had agreed to negotiate with the Huaxia Revival Army in Lingchuan City, and sent Sun Chengzong, a cabinet scholar, to preside over the Zhao'an negotiations.

After receiving the news, Mo Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the imperial court agrees to negotiate, things will be much easier, at least for a period of time, without having to fight to the death with the imperial army, but can free up his hands to vigorously develop production and train the army.

If history had not deviated, in July and August of this year, the Houjin army would have surrounded Dalinghe City again, and forced Zu Dashou to kill He Kegang and surrender the city.

In a blink of an eye, I haven't seen He Kegang for almost a year, I don't know what happened to him now, Mo Li really didn't want He Kegang to die so tragically and tragically.

By the way, and Su Su, I don't know where that girl is now?

After a few days, Sun Chengzong rushed to Zhangde Mansion in the dust, and then rushed to Linxian County non-stop, and after staying in Linxian County, he sent people to inform the Fuxing Army in Lingchuan City, asking them to send representatives to negotiate and plan the location and personnel for the next negotiation.

Moli sent Du Geng to contact the court negotiators, and the two sides agreed to hold negotiations in Zhangjiatun, more than 30 miles away from Lingchuan City, three days later, and Moli and Sun Chengzong personally talked and negotiated.

At night, Moli still slept with Lin Guo. After a cloud and rain, Lin Guofen's face flushed and leaned on Mo Li's chest and said faintly: "Husband, why is my sister still avoiding you, it's been almost a month......"

Mo Li is also a little nerve-wracking, this Liang Peijun is really weird, if you don't like me, why do you want to marry me, since you married me, why are you still avoiding me? Didn't the ancients say that marrying a chicken is a chicken, marrying a dog is a dog? What's more, this Lord is not bad.

No, I have to find a chance to communicate with her, otherwise where will Lord Ben's face go.

The next day, after Mo Li got up, he summoned the generals to discuss some details of the negotiation with the imperial court, including whether to prevent the imperial court from using this negotiation as a cover to carry out a sneak attack on Lingchuan or detain Mo Li and others who participated in the negotiation.

Cao Bianjiao first shook his head and said: "My lord, brothers, I think this matter is too much, the Sun Pavilion Department has always been frank and upright, and it must disdain to do these indiscriminate means, not to mention that the adults can also be regarded as the old department of the Sun Pavilion Department, I don't think the Sun Pavilion Department will treat us like this." ”

Ma Jinzhong thought for a moment and said, "Commander Cao is right, Sun Gebu is indeed an elder worthy of respect and admiration, with a high demeanor and extraordinary bearing. However, as the saying goes, you can't hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, this matter is very important, we still have to be cautious. ”

Cheng Qingzhu also said: "Commander Ma is reasonable, it is true that Sun Gebu is a good person, but who dares to guarantee that those people under him have no other intentions? I think that in addition to raising the vigilance of Lingchuan City, we should also pay attention to protecting the safety of Lord Mo, and we should send someone to enter Zhangjiatun in disguise first, just in case. ”

Mo Li nodded and said: "I haven't heard the news of the transfer of officers and soldiers recently, and it is unlikely that the sneak attack on Lingchuan City is possible, but it is not wrong to be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, and it is not wrong to be cautious, Zhenbei, you find a few clever brothers to go to Zhangjiatun to observe and observe, so as not to overturn the boat in the gutter." ”

"Yes! My lord, I'll go. He Zhenbei gave a military salute and was about to go out.

"Brother Zhenbei, please wait a moment." Cao Bianjiao suddenly shouted, "Have you heard about my uncle recently?" ”

He Zhenbei shook his head and said: "General Cao was arrested by the emperor's order when he returned at the end of the year, and so far I haven't heard whether General Cao has been released, but I haven't heard about how to deal with General Cao. ”

Mo Li walked over, patted Cao Bianjiao's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, Bianjiao, General Cao will be fine, tomorrow I will tell Sun Gebu to let the imperial court release General Cao." ”

"Thank you, sir." Cao Bianjiao said a little lost. Didn't the imperial court agree to negotiate with the Renaissance Army? Why hasn't my uncle come out yet?

"Zhenbei, you go! Pay more attention to the movements of the officers and soldiers, and report back immediately if there is any situation. Mo Li turned his head and said to He Zhenbei.

"Yes!" He Zhenbei was busy arranging the security of Zhangjiatun.

Mo Li discussed with everyone for a while, and then went off to work.

In the evening, after dinner, Mo Li called Liang Peijun, who was about to leave: "Peijun, come and walk with me later!" ”
