vs 15 Desperate facts

After Li Linbin, Zhang Zongqi and others announced their decrees, they came out of the martial arts arena, and the breath in everyone's hearts was released, and almost everyone collapsed. But in order not to let Jiannu see that his group was strong and strong, Li Linbin and Zhang Zongqi both stiffened up and beckoned everyone to rush back to the pavilion.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Zongqi instructed his subordinates to pack their luggage immediately and prepare to leave

This Longtan Tiger's Den.

After Li Linbin entered the room, he sat down on the chair, his face was pale

His clothes were soaked with sweat, as if they had been washed.

Seeing Li Linbin sitting motionless on the chair, Zhang Zongqi said anxiously: "Master Li, hurry up and pack your bags, let's leave early, otherwise there will be a lot of dreams at night." ”

"Lord Zongqi, let the old man take a breath. Let's wait for noon before leaving, if we go too hurriedly and too hurriedly, Jiannu will definitely be suspicious. In addition, he sent someone to inform the slave chief that I was not accustomed to the banquet of his border tribe, so I would not go to the banquet. Li Linbin said weakly.

"That's right, that's right, after you pack your luggage, you all hurry up and rest, let's leave at noon. By the way, the two of you go downstairs to guard the door, and immediately warn if there is a situation. Zhang Zongqi instructed his subordinates and continued: "Whoever goes to tell the Tartars that our Lord Li doesn't appreciate his face, don't prepare." ”

The named Jinyiwei went extremely reluctantly. I don't know if Nurhachi didn't really want to invite Qincha or some other reason, and he didn't say much when he saw that Li Linbin didn't go to the banquet.

After everything was cleaned up, Li Linbin and his party of about a dozen people sat in the house and waited bitterly, preparing to leave Hetuara at noon. Time passed little by little, and for everyone, this short time was like a year. Li Linbin and Zhang Zongqi looked out the window from time to time, for fear that the Jiannu army would suddenly come out, and the other Jinyi guards were also restless.

Finally, at noon, everyone immediately loaded their luggage into the carriage and hurried away at the south gate of Wanghetu Ala.

When he arrived at the city gate, Li Linbin nervously looked at the Jiannu soldiers who were inspecting the passers-by, for fear that something would suddenly happen at the last moment. Zhang Zongqi and the others were also cautious and vigilant, beckoning their subordinates to prepare to rush out.

The Jiannu soldiers guarding the city gate saw Li Linbin and his party coming, and after reading the envoy documents, they let them go, without blocking them, and they didn't even look at everyone.

It was only then that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After going to the official road, Li Linbin said to Zhang Zongqi: "Go down the official road and take the path, let's go straight to Liaoyang, and rest when we get to Liaoyang." Zhang Zongqi naturally has no opinion, and he can't wait to fly back directly.

So, the crowd kept going, the cars were not popular, and they hurried until the evening.

"Master Li, it's getting dark, we have to find a place to spend the night." Zhang Zongqi said.

"Okay, I'm tired of Mr. Zhang's arrangement."

Zhang Zongqi looked around, saw a fire in the distance in front of him, and said: "There is a fire in front, Master Li, I'll let people go and see if it's someone." ”

"Okay, be careful."

After a while, the Jinyi guard who had gone to explore the road came back, and the man said: "General Qi, there is no one in front, it is Lord Yuan who is collecting the brothers who died in the battle last night. ”

Li Linbin and Zhang Zongqi glanced at each other and said to themselves: "This Yuan Mingxuan is really elusive." ”

Zhang Zongqi heard that Yuan Mingxuan was collecting the remains of his subordinates, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of him: "This Lord Yuan is not obvious on weekdays, but he is really a man." ”

Zhang Zongqi said to Li Linbin: "Master Li, let's hurry over." ”

"Okay, let's go."

When everyone arrived, they saw that Yuan Mingxuan was wrapping the ashes with a burden, Zhang Zongqi took the first step to take the burden, and said, "There is Lord Lao Yuan, I thank you for these brothers." ”

"Where, these are warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country, I can't look at their charred corpses in the wilderness, people will always go home when they die." Yuan Mingxuan said with a lonely expression.

Seeing that Yuan Mingxuan seemed to be in a bad mood, Zhang Zongqi only said that he was cremating his colleagues, and his mood was affected, so he beckoned his subordinates to prepare to camp.

Li Linbin walked over, found a tree stump and sat down, and said, "Lord Yuan, sit with the old man and talk." ”

The two sat for a while, and Li Linbin saw Yuan Mingxuan's gloomy face, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he said, "Lord Yuan went well this time?" ”

Yuan Mingxuan nodded, then shook his head again, still not speaking.

Li Linbin was a little surprised, and said: "The old man can be regarded as a messenger this time, and it is estimated that Jiannu will not make a big move in a short time, why is Lord Yuan still so expressional?" ”

After speaking, Li Linbin noticed that there were only three of Yuan Mingxuan's subordinates left, and said in surprise: "Lord Yuan, are you being noticed by Jiannu?" Zhang Zongqi also came over when he heard it.

Yuan Mingxuan nodded and said, "The rest of the brothers are already on the road with peace of mind." ”

After listening, Li Linbin, Zhang Zongqi and others all looked sad.

Li Linbin asked again: "Have you ever heard useful news?" ”

"Master Li, we all thought wrong, the imperial court, General Liu, we all thought wrong, what we are doing today is in the middle of the slave." Yuan Mingxuan said with a sad and indignant expression.

"What!" Zhang Zongqi exclaimed.

Li Linbin stood up directly and said, "You make it clear!" ”

Looking at the two of them who were surprised, Yuan Mingxuan continued: "After Lord Li left yesterday, my brothers and I managed to sneak into Hetuara and inquire around the city. Do you know what I saw? The Nu chieftain has already integrated the Jianzhou Jurchens into a tiger and wolf army. The soldiers of Jianzhou began to practice archery and teach martial arts when they were young, and when they became adults, everyone was an elite. ”

"Anyone who pays a little attention to these situations will know about it." Zhang Zongqi said.

Li Linbin said: "As long as time is added, the Liaodong garrison is reorganized, and Jiannu has no chance, not to mention that the national dynasty still has a million soldiers in the pass, Lord Yuan should not worry too much." ”

"I thought so before, so we decided to postpone the time." Yuan Mingxuan said: "However, when I saw the Jiannu in the city, I knew that our previous plans were all miscalculated. ”

"Why?"

Yuan Mingxuan was extremely depressed and said: "I saw the Jiannu in a city, regardless of men and women, old and young, all of them were preparing for war, all hoarding grain and grass, and the Han people and savages captured from all over Liaodong were all incorporated into the Eight Banners. Do you know what that means? ”

After Li Linbin and Zhang Zongqi arrived at Hetuala, they were confined to the pavilion, of course, they didn't see the scene in the city, and they were already stunned at this time.

Of course, they know what this means, when a group gathers the manpower and material resources of the whole race to fight a war; When the leader of this race does not care about face in order to gain strategic time, it is fatal to its opponents. As the saying goes, a husband is desperate, but what about a group that starts to work hard?

"Aren't the defenders of Liaodong also preparing for war? What's more, there is also the old general Liu Ting sitting in Liaoyang, and the dynasty will not sit idly by and watch something happen in Liaodong. ”

Li Linbin comforted Yuan Mingxuan, more like he was comforting himself.

Yuan Mingxuan sighed and said, "In this Liaodong Town, General Zhang has always been at odds with General Liu, so how can the rectification of defense be effective in a short period of time? Even if there are a few available troops under General Liu, how can they resist the captivity of a country with their own strength?

Now there is time, but Jiannu can spend all his time preparing for war. What about us? There is a gap between colleagues, they cannot go all out to prepare for war, the maladministration of previous years cannot be eradicated, and the troubles in Liaodong cannot be solved in a short time.

Now if there is a war with Jiannu, there is a chance that the Ming Dynasty will be defeated, and Liaodong will collapse thousands of miles in an instant. But if there is a war in the future, the preparation of Jiannu will increase sufficiently, even if we can make some preparations, it will be a drop in the bucket, and at that time Jiannu will not be controlled, and Liaodong will eventually be unsafe! ”

Li Linbin broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and muttered, "How can this be? How so? ”

Zhang Zongqi said anxiously: "What about the imperial court?" Lord Li, let's hurry back to Beijing, report this matter to the imperial court, and send a large army to Liaodong as soon as possible! ”

"If the imperial court can send a large army to Liaodong, it will not let the old man come." Li Linbin said dejectedly.

"Why?!"

Yuan Mingxuan took over the words and said: "Now there are continuous natural disasters in the Guannei, and chaos has appeared; The imperial treasury was seriously depleted; The court party strife is serious; How can you send a large army? Even if they come, judging from the current situation of the imperial court, there will not be many people. ”

"Then we have been busy with our heads for a long time, wouldn't we have done Jiannu a great favor?" Zhang Zongqi was almost about to cry.

Li Linbin said: "It's not all, didn't the imperial court close the horse market and cut off the tribute?" It was still a great blow to Jiannu, and now I can only hope that General Liu can turn the tide. ”

Yuan Mingxuan said: "Master Li, don't go back to Liaoyang, please go straight to Jingshi and report these situations to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court will deal with it as soon as possible." ”

"Good! The old man will go back to Beijing directly tomorrow morning. ”

Yuan Mingxuan said: "In this way, then Yuan will say goodbye to the two of you and take the first step." ”

"Lord Yuan is leaving now? It's getting dark. ”

"It's okay, I'm going to go back and report this to General Liu as soon as possible."

Li Linbin nodded, and said solemnly: "Lord Yuan, please go back and tell General Liu that I, Li Linbin, will definitely report the critical situation in Liaodong to the imperial court, and strive for the imperial court to send reinforcements to Liaodong as soon as possible." ”

"I'm tired."

After speaking, Yuan Mingxuan left with his subordinates.

Li Linbin and Zongqi looked at the red sunset on the horizon, their hearts were heavy, and their mood was extremely bad, the originally beautiful sunset seemed to be as dazzling as blood in the sky at this moment.

"I hope that General Liu can turn the tide, protect the people of Liaodong, and defend the land of the Han family."
