Luo Xin nodded slightly, and his face became more melancholy. Ma Fang thought for a while and said, "Brother, even if you are a master, Your Majesty will not be too ruthless, right?" ”

"Your Majesty is old, and his life will not be long." Luo Xin said softly.

Ma Fang's expression changed, he naturally knew that Emperor Jiajing would not leave Luo Xin, who had such prestige, to his children and grandchildren, so Luo Xin was really dangerous.

The room fell silent, and after half a sound, Ma Fang slapped the table and scolded: "What kind of world is this?" made such a feat, and even had to worry about life and death. ”

Luo Xin was silent, and Ma Fang was wilted like a frosted eggplant.

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do?" Luo Xin smiled bitterly: "After this battle, the grassland should be greatly damaged, there will be no more war in the north, and I should keep a low profile, I hope Your Majesty can forget me." Of course, this also requires your cooperation, brother. I will try to write as much credit as possible for your achievements, so that Your Majesty will have a reason to continue to reuse you and use you to suppress the younger brother, and the more you suppress the younger brother, the safer the younger brother will be. If Your Majesty thinks that you can completely suppress me, at that time, the little brother will be truly safe. And don't worry, as long as the little brother doesn't die, His Majesty won't kill you. He needs the two of us to keep each other at bay, and he can't kill both of us, he's going to have to leave the future emperor with someone to fight. ”

"Good!" Ma Fang slapped the table and said, "You write, I'll do it." ”

Day 2.

Ma Fang left Datong in a hurry, carrying with him the head of Huang Taiji and Luo Xin's handwritten letters, and only took about 20 followers and headed towards the capital.

And Luo Xin took over the military power of the nine northern towns and had an overview of the military affairs of the north. Except for Datong, the commanders of the other eight towns could ignore Ma Fang, but they didn't dare to ignore Luo Xin.

Now Luo Xin's prestige is in full swing, not only a military god who is difficult for military generals to reach, but also a promising figure among civilian officials. So they all came to Datong to visit Luo Xin. By this time the fighting had subsided, and Luo Xin did not need them, so he just met with them, had a meal with them, and sent them away.

Night.

Luo Xin's study.

Outside the study, dozens of soldiers guarded the study more than ten meters away from the study. In the study, there were three people sitting at this time, it was Luo Xin, Liang Dazhu and Lu Tingjiang.

The doors and windows were closed, and the three of them looked serious, and their voices were all very low.

"Dazhu, are things going well?"

"It's okay!" Liang Dazhu frowned slightly and said: "Lord Hou didn't let me recruit soldiers in the Shenshu camp, I have come into contact with the more than 8,000 people left by Master Ma these days, there are not many people who have no family among these more than 8,000 people, and now there are even fewer people who are alone, there are only more than 600 people in total, I got to know these people again, and finally found 278 people to try, and finally 212 people are willing to follow me." ”

Luo Xin nodded and said, "The rest of the people don't know our true purpose, do they?" ”

"Nope! When I first tested them, I followed what Hou Ye taught, telling them that Hou Ye was going to organize a cavalry and go deep into the grassland to disguise themselves as grassland horse thieves and harass the grassland tribes. ”

"That's good!" Luo Xin nodded.

"Master Hou, my subordinates are going to go to Xuanfu tomorrow."

"Huh?"

"Two days ago, didn't the chief soldier of Xuanfu come to see Hou Ye? I found that one of the guards of the Xuanfu General Army had followed Hou Ye deep into the grassland, so I invited him to drink a meal, and during the banquet he said that he was not happy, and the happiest time in this life was to follow Hou Ye across the grassland. The subordinates revealed some of the incident to him, but he didn't expect that he was very eager to join and follow Hou Ye, and also said that there were some people in Xuanfu who followed Hou Ye across the grassland, they were all thinking about Hou Ye, and often talked about Hou Ye, and he said to go back and talk to them, so his subordinates decided to go to Xuanfu secretly tomorrow. ”

Luo Xin said solemnly: "Have you ever told him to keep a secret? ”

"I said it."

"Have you ever told him that once you get involved, you will become a deserter, and you may only be able to go into exile on the grassland in this life?"

"Well, I did."

"Okay, you will secretly go to Xuanfu tomorrow."

"Yes, Master Hou!"

Luo Xin looked at Lu Tingjiang again: "Second uncle, how are the preparations for your affairs over there?" ”

Lu Tingjiang nodded excitedly and said: "In this big battle, we have collected a lot of weapons, which can completely arm a cavalry of tens of thousands of people, and there is no shortage of horses in the grassland, as long as these weapons are transported to the grassland, we will soon be able to pull up a team." It's just that...... Lack of food and grass. ”

"I'll take care of the grain and grass matters. I have requisitioned some grain and grass from the other eight towns, and their contribution in this war is limited, and they are all waiting for me to say a few kind words for them in front of His Majesty, so their grain and grass are sent very happily, at this time there is no shortage of grain and grass in Datong, but there is a lot. These days, Dazhu will first hand over to you the soldiers who have been recruited, and I will change the guards of the city gate and warehouse at night, and then you will take those soldiers to escort the grain and grass away, and secretly camp at the Yinlong River, and when Dazhu returns, we will go to Zhongjin Hatun.

Second uncle, Dazhu, the matter of the grassland is very important to us, now that Huang Taiji's 200,000 grassland coalition troops have almost all died in Daming, and the grassland has not much strength, this is definitely an opportunity for us, you must unify the grassland in the shortest possible time. Then bring me a strong army. In the meantime, if there is a tribe that is stronger than you, do not act rashly, but send someone to tell me, and I will bring my troops to destroy them. ”

Lu Tingjiang's eyes lit up and said, "No, you want us to unify the grassland and bring out a strong army?" How many strong troops do you need? ”

Luo Xin sighed slightly and said, "At least 200,000." ”

"You...... Do you want to do the opposite? ”

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "No, I'm not loyal to the Ming Zhu family, but I don't want my Ming people to suffer from war again." ”

"Then what do you want an army of 200,000 to do?"

Luo Xin was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Even if we become the king of the grassland in the future, the grassland is affected by the geographical environment, and the life there is too hard. And I didn't want the people of Daming to suffer from the war, so I had to find a new place, a new good environment suitable for our survival. ”

"Besides Da Ming, is there any other place like this?" Lu Tingjiang looked at Luo Xin in surprise.
