Counting nine cold winters, the farther north you go, the colder it gets, and when you arrive in Liaodong, it is already thousands of miles of ice and snow.

On the Shanhai Pass, Shang Kexi put his hands behind his back and looked at the white land under the pass. They once enjoyed all the glory and wealth there, and now they have returned to Liaodong, and their mood is different from before.

Shang Kexi has repeatedly turned his back on his old master, but unlike other traitors, it can be seen that he is cautious every time. He is accustomed to conforming to the general trend, but he never thought that the situation would change abruptly, there were more and more troops in the pass, and Chen Bing was under the Shanhai Pass, and his intentions were self-evident.

The entire Liaodong was filled with the smell of the future of a great war, and the air smelled of gunpowder.

Shang Kexi's military talent is far higher than his character, when Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde made a rebellion in Shandong, all the generals of the Ming Dynasty could not help them, only Shang Kexi fled to Liaodong by boat. Li Dingguo, the king of Jin in later generations, and the two famous kings, were also defeated in his hands. At the beginning, Shang Kexi descended to the Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji was extremely excited, shouting "God helps me", and gave Shang Kexi the name "Heaven Helps Soldiers". When Shang Kexi arrived in Shengjing, Huang Taiji went out of the city for thirty miles to greet him.

A young general, with a few personal soldiers, rushed to the city tower of Shanhaiguan, looked left and right and saw Shang Kexi, and ran over excitedly.

The young general warmed his hands and said, "Father, King Pingxi is here, let you go and see him." ”

"King Pingxi? I know, you don't come here in the future, this is not a place for children. Shang Kexi reprimanded his son, and said with a smile in his heart, King Pingxi, it's good to be able to hold the north, I'm afraid Pingxi is not in a dream.

Although the young general didn't think so, his awe of his father made him lower his head and whisper.

Shang Ke ignored his son, turned around and went downstairs, and walked into the city.

Wu Sangui and his Liaodong soldiers and horses eventually brought peace to the Liao, albeit by surrendering to the Manchus, in exchange for the Tartars not being slaughtered.

When the Tartars withdrew from the Guanwai, they brought back a large amount of supplies from Kisuke and other places, and although this harsh winter was bitterly cold, it was rare for them not to go out of the customs to plunder and not starve to death.

When Shang Kexi entered the city, Wu Sangui, who had just arrived from Songzhou, stood up and said affectionately: "Brother Shang, the junior brother came uninvited, and I hope Brother Shang will not blame." ”

Shang Kexi dusted off the snowflakes on his body and said with a smile: "What did King Pingxi say, it's too late for me to welcome you here, it's best to transfer some of the Guan Ning army under you." Yan Yingyuan has been increasing his troops these days, and I see that there are hundreds of more tents on the opposite side, and the weather will be warmer in the coming year, and I may not be able to hold this wave of his offensive. ”

The tone of his words was extremely slow, and it sounded very polite, but Wu Sangui had already heard the dissatisfaction in his words. Most of the Liao people outside the Guanxi regard Wu Sangui as the lord of the Liao people, and after the three feudatories of Phi Dao withdrew to Guanwai, they had to look at Wu Sangui's face. These days, there are a lot of frostbite patients among the sergeants and soldiers, but they do not get the leather clothes and cotton clothes they deserve to keep them warm.

Wu Sangui didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words at all, and said to himself: "I heard that Hou Xuanyan has sent people to occupy the Japanese country, and his sailors should not be underestimated. ”

Shang Kexi had been worried about this for a long time, and when he heard this, he didn't care about complaining, so he stepped forward and asked, "What do you have in mind?" ”

"We must let them fall into the quagmire of North Korea in order to ensure our safety, Hou Xuanyan made waves in the Ming Dynasty, and fell in the way of his obscenity, no one dared to object. Once there is something in the country, it will inevitably be an earth-shattering change, and there may not be no hope of entering the customs at that time. Wu Sangui's voice was very loud, as if he was afraid that Shang Kexi would not believe it.

It's a pity that this person who is still gratifying, not judging right and wrong by the size of his voice, replied lightly: "The surname Hou is in the sky, can a mere North Korean stop him?" ”

"How is he compared to Emperor Yang of Sui back then? Yang Guang has a strong empire left by his father, and he has not been dragged down by Goryeo. ”

Shang Kexi has not yet been a little moved, the momentum of the Northern Expeditionary Army's counterattack outside the fortification is getting stronger and stronger, although this idea is not very reliable, but it is also the only hope in despair. Thinking of this, Shang Kexi's mood became apprehensive, and he said softly: "I'm afraid that the North Korean will be embarrassed by this position." ”

Wu Sangui stood up and said, "I came to you for this matter, you and I jointly wrote a letter to inform the Shengjing Qing court and put pressure on North Korea." The Korean royal family and powerful ministers have always regarded their people as if they were grass mustard, and there is much to be done in this matter. As long as they understand that Hou Xuanyan will never forget the enmity in Jinan back then, they will work hard to survive. Moreover, those people in Shengjing, from the area of Jifu Jinzhong, don't know how much treasure they brought into the customs, and let them spend money to buy the North Korean authorities, anyway, they are desperate. ”

After muttering for a while, Shang Kexi's eyebrows furrowed, he had been cautious all his life, but he had repeatedly fallen into this desperate situation, the Northern Expeditionary Army's conquest of Liao was a sure thing, that is, when they would make a move. In this case, those who are worried about internal and external troubles on their side still have to pin their hopes on the North Koreans.

Wu Sangui was not in a hurry, and said while drinking tea: "This time is different from the past, whether it is Tartar or Li Chuang, we can surrender if we can't fight, and we still don't lose the rank of official and marquis and king." Hou Xuanyan's actions are better than me, Brother Shang knows better, take 10,000 steps back and say that even if we fall, we will be harmed by him. But now in the whole world, only Liaodong is not his territory, and if Liaodong is lost, there is no place for us to live in the world. ”

"That's all there is to it." Shang Ke sighed.

Wu Sangui immediately clapped his hands, and the soldiers outside took out a fold from their arms, and after Wu Sangui took it, he spread it on the table.

Shang Kexi looked down and saw that he already had the seals of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, and what the excerpt said was indeed the strategy and policy of urging the Qing court to let North Korea carry it to the end.

"Come on, go to my official seal."

After a while, Shang Kexi's personal soldier held his official seal and looked at his master. Shang Kexi gently wiped his eyelids, and Xiao Bing took out the official seal and put it on the fold.

Wu Sangui saw that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, and he got up and said: "Brother Shang, my side is busy with military affairs, Hou Xuanyan invaded Mobei and made a "Jingbei" to respond to the people, and Xia Wanchun's little bastard also kept attacking the Mongolian banners of the Qing Dynasty day and night, so I won't stay here for a long time. ”

"King Pingxi walks slowly, I'm not idle here, so I won't send it far." Although a consensus was reached, Shang Kexi did not forget his heavy matter, and his tone became cold again.

Wu Sangui, under the service of his own soldiers, passed on the big sword and walked into the snow.

-----

Jinling, Forbidden City, inside the Fengtian Temple.

Hundreds of officials congratulated in unison, and Hou Xuanyan, the prince of Yue, was named regent of the emperor's father.

Zhu Linhao on the dragon chair was unusually silent, and her little face was very gloomy.

Hou Xuanyan felt a pain in his heart, at this little thing's age, did he already know these things?

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Hou Xuanyan took Zhu Linhao's hand and asked, "Hao'er, why are you having a bitter face today, am I unhappy that I am your imperial father?" ”

Zhu Linhao is already three years old, with a small face with tender puffs, eyes as black as ink, frowning slightly, and pouting: "Yesterday, I hid behind the pillars in the hall, to scare Yingying and Xiaoman, and listen to them talk about things outside the palace, it's so lively." I told Sister Yao'er that I wanted to go out to play, but she was fierce, hum! ”

Hou Xuanyan stretched out his hand and hugged her, and said with a smile: "I don't know how many people outside the palace want to come in, you don't know how blessed you are." ”

"You're all in the same group, I'm going to ignore you..."

Hou Xuanyan saw her deliberately pouting her head, both cute and distressed, she had been in the palace for three years, and the people she had seen the most were the twelve palace maids of Kunning Palace, which was like being imprisoned.

This is to protect her identity, after all, the emperor is a daughter and cannot be known, and the little emperor still thinks that he is a man.

Hou Xuanyan glanced at the little emperor he had raised single-handedly, and a warmth surged in his heart: "I'll take you out for a day!" ”
