"Those who bravely shake the master are in danger, and those who cover the world will not be rewarded!"

In the line of the commander of Shaling Fort under Shenyang City, Liu Jun sat on the kang and muttered a sentence. This is a sentence from the historical records that Liu Jun is reading these days, from the biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin.

It is about Han Xin, who is full of flying birds, hiding good bows, dying, and cooking lackeys. The violent Qin perished, and the overlord of Western Chu and the king of Han launched the famous Chu-Han War in order to compete for the world. In the early days of the war, Liu Bang was defeated repeatedly, and in the end, he relied on Han Xin under his command to turn the tide and use an ambush strategy from all sides to force Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, to kill himself in Wujiang.

It can be said that without Han Xin, Liu Bang may not be able to win the world. Han Xin made great contributions to Liu Bang's victory over the world. But although Han Xin was successful in the end, he failed to die well, and was finally booby-trapped by Empress Lu in Changle Palace.

Han Xin's death was the result of his high merit.

Liu Jun is now considered a master of high achievement, and his situation is very similar to Han Xin, who made immortal contributions to the Han family back then.

In history, there have been too many people who have achieved great merit, and these people basically have no good ends. As the sentence written in the book, those who bravely shake the Lord are in danger, and those who cover the world are not rewarded.

This historical record of the Marquis of Huaiyin was given to Liu Jun by Liu Yunsheng, and Liu Qiao asked him to forward it. At this time, Liu Qiao asked his son to send such a book to Liu Jun, and his intention was very obvious.

The Liu family in Macheng is also at an extremely critical time. As Liu Qiao, the handsome man of Jinyi who was born in a brocade family, is very clear about Liu Jun's current situation. Kill Huang Taiji, shock Liaodong, the natural surface scenery is very beautiful. But behind it, it is also on the verge of danger.

Especially after the defeat of Songjin in western Liaoning, the Liaodong Army led by Liu Jun became more and more outstanding, which made Liu Jun more and more dangerous.

Before the war, the emperor and the imperial court were going to transfer Liu Jun back to Beijing. In the end, because of the defeat of Liaoxi, Liu Jun had to preside over the battle outside the Guanwai. Now that Liu Jun is performing so well, it will only make the emperor and the court more and more jealous.

Once Liu Jun extinguishes Houjin, then the day of Liu Jun's class teacher, I am afraid that it will be the time when Liu Jun's bird will hide his bow. Liu Qiao sent this book to his nephew at this time, and his intention was self-evident. Now that the fate of the Liu family and Liu Jun is completely tied together, Liu Qiao has to remind his nephew, afraid that he will directly destroy Houjin, and then the Liu family will also be in danger.

Liu Jun is actually very sober, and he has already thought about this issue.

"It's time." Liu Jun put down the book and sighed.

Liu Jun was reluctant to be Han Xin. He doesn't want to be Cao Cao, he prefers to be Liu Yu, Sima Yan, Gao Huan, Yu Wentai, Xiao Daocheng, Chen Baxian, and Li Yuan.

These were all meritorious generals, and they all eventually usurped the throne of the previous dynasty.

Liu Jun has always concealed his ambition well, but he has never changed that ambition in his heart. He didn't plan to be a loyal dog of Daming, neither planned to bury Daming, nor did he plan to make wedding clothes for Daming.

He befriended the gentry of Hubei. Befriending officials, or even Donglin, and joining the Fushe Society does not mean that he agrees with these people. Although Liu Jun never thought that Donglin and Fushe were all bad people.

It's not black and white. The eunuchs are not all traitors, and the Donglin Fushe is not all gentlemen. It's not that in that special era in later generations, everyone has to be labeled as a class.

But no matter what, Liu Jun was when his strength was weak. Make serious friends with those who stand in front of him, and with those who can help him.

The sedan chair carries people. has military exploits and popularity, because of fate, Liu Jun can get to today's position in such a short time.

Finally, the wings are ready.

Not all the people who have achieved great success have been cooked by the birds, the rabbits, the dead dogs, and there are also many awesome characters who finally directly lifted the old master down and sat in that seat themselves.

Liu Jun is thinking carefully, for the road he is going to take now, it has reached the most critical time, and if he takes a wrong step, it may be a catastrophe.

Every step is crucial, just like a clever chef cooking, the heat is the most important, not too early, too early to be raw, not too late. If you miss the time, it will be burned and you can't eat it.

Only neither early nor late is the best, but how to do this step is not easy to grasp this just right time.

Historically, there have been many people who have made great achievements, and there are many people who have thought about removing the old masters, but there are not many who have succeeded. Many people started too early and showed signs before they were ready, and there were actually many such people, and they were eventually swept away by the big waves.

There are also many people who have the intention to resist, but they are too slow to act, and the result is still defeat.

The waves are rushing to the sand, and there are still many people who grasp the right time in the end, and then have the last laugh. Liu Yu, Chen Baxian, Gao Huan, Yu Wentai, Li Yuan, Zhao Kuangyin, etc.

It is nothing to be willing to hide the bow and hide it, but it is not easy to rebel if you have the intention to rebel, but how to rebel and succeed. Liu Jun wants to succeed in rebellion, and it is not simple.

Directly starting the army, this is the easiest way, and it is also the most difficult way to succeed. After all, the Ming Dynasty has dominated the world for nearly three hundred years, and there are still some people's hearts, and the most important thing is that most of those officials and gentry are still oriented towards the Zhu family.

And if Liu Jun wants to be like Liu Yu, Chen Baxian and others, it is also a little difficult. After all, Chongzhen is not yet thirty years old, and he is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is too difficult for Liu Jun to control the government. It is almost impossible to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes like Cao Cao.

If Liu Jun returned to Jingxiang like Li Yuan to set up a clan as a puppet emperor and respected Zhen as the emperor, it would definitely be a big civil war, and such a result was not what Liu Jun expected.

Liu Jun is not willing to smash the world and clean it up again, Liu Jun already regards the future world as his own.

If Chongzhen died suddenly, Liu Jun felt that he would have an excellent opportunity to take control of the government.

However, Chongzhen is so young, it is almost impossible to die suddenly, and it is definitely even more difficult to start.

If Chongzhen does not die, if Liu Jun leads his troops directly to Beijing, it is not a good way to mutiny to control the Jingshi court.

How to rebel, this question Liu Jun has actually been secretly thinking about it in his heart for a long time. After thinking about it, he felt that it was best to use a slightly milder method, and it was best not to directly rebel and become a traitor, in that case, Liu Jun was most worried about his own subordinates. There will be people who oppose him.

It is best to borrow this shell of the Ming Dynasty, first control the government, and then find a way to usurp the throne. But Chongzhen is the biggest obstacle, do you want to sneak someone to assassinate the emperor?

Chongzhen is not bad to Liu Jun, but Liu Jun understands that when the spring river plummets next year, when his class teacher joins the dynasty, either Chongzhen dies or he dies. Chongzhen will never tolerate Liu Jun at that time, unless Liu Jun is willing to go to Singapore for the rest of his life. will never return to the court for the rest of his life, otherwise, he will basically not be tolerated.

For the current war, Liu Jun has already made a qualification.

In the current winter, the Chu army cannot risk withdrawing its troops, and must wait until after the ice melts in the spring. Before that, Liu Jun didn't plan to confront the Qing army anymore to consume his strength, he wanted to preserve his strength, before the beginning of spring. In the end, he still had to make peace with the Qing army.

In fact, the Qing army has now suffered a great loss in strength, and since the Chu army conquered Liao, it has suppressed too many Manchu populations and captured too many of their cities and towns. They have been plundered of too much money, food, and property.

It can be said that, although on the surface, the Tatar army suffered small losses, only many Han troops. The real Eight Flags are still preserved. But their basic national strength has suffered a serious blow, and this loss will be slowly reflected in the future. Even if you wait for the Chu army to withdraw from Liaoshen, it will be a long time later. It will be difficult for the Qing army to launch a decent offensive again.

Attack, that also requires a lot of money and food. Even if you want to go to the Ming Dynasty to rob it, you must at least have grain and grass to support it in the Ming Dynasty first.

How to kill Chongzhen?

This is a problem, not only to kill Chongzhen, but also to do it without knowing it, so that Liu Jun can take advantage of it. Although the Ming Dynasty is riddled with holes, the shell of this listed company is still good. If you can go public through a backdoor listing, it is much easier and more convenient than starting from scratch and working hard to obtain this qualification.

If you want to do this, you have to do it secretly, and Liu Jun needs someone who is absolutely trustworthy to carry out this secret plan.

Shenyang.

The army led by Dolgon and Dai Shan finally returned, and to their surprise, Liu Jun had no intention of intercepting them, just like under the city of Liaoyang.

From Liaoyang to Shenyang, more than 100 miles of road, along the Hunhe River between the two cities, the Chu army stationed soldiers and horses in Wangdatun, Changtantun, Zhangyitun, Zhutun Fort, Wujing Fort, Zhutun Fort.

At first, Dorgon also planned to uproot these garrisons, but they fought several times, and each time they returned with a feather. There were not many soldiers in the castle, but the guns were sharp, and every time the attacking Qing army suffered heavy losses. Although there were many Dolgon soldiers, but in the face of these reformed fortresses, the number of soldiers could not be deployed, although the Ming army was small, but on the contrary, with the advantage of guns, they suffered heavy losses.

In the end, Dolgon had to withdraw his troops depressedly, ignoring the Zhutun forts along the road, and returned directly to Shenyang.

The nine-headed bird stationed in the three forts southwest of Shenyang, Ren Dorgon's soldiers and horses drove into Shenyang without hindrance. After Dolgon and Daishan led their troops into the city, they first went to meet the empress dowager and the little emperor of the two palaces, and then summoned Azig and Hauge to inquire about the situation.

As a result, after they learned that Azig took over the defense of Shenyang, they transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, wanting to destroy the Black Flag rebels sweeping outside, but they returned several times in vain, and suffered a lot of losses and lost a lot of men and horses.

"Those Ming troops, all of them are a bunch of tortoises, and every time we go out, they retreat into the castle and can't retreat. Then when we attack the city, we will immediately shoot with fire and artillery, and the weather is cold, and we will not be able to attack the city well, so we can only watch them arrogant. Azig said indignantly, "You are back just in time now, our troops are strong, and we will directly crush them one castle after another." ”

Dorgon didn't expect this outcome, but he wasn't surprised.

He should have thought that his mother's Chu Jun was a bunch of perverts.

"Has Liu Jiye been stationed in the west of the city?" He asked.

"Since arriving in Shenyang, I have been digging trenches and building forts and forts there, and a new fort wall has been expanded outside the three forts, which is not the original appearance at all, with many turrets, and more than 5,000 troops are stationed in each fort. Except for gathering people and horses in the middle to go to the city of Shenyang and firing artillery in the city a few times, there has been no real siege battle. ”

Haoge replied, "It turned out that Kong Youde and other black flag armies were now incorporated by Liu Jiye, changed to black skull flags, burned and looted everywhere, robbed my property, seized my people, burned my villages and towns, did all kinds of evil, and eroded Liaoshen." ”

Even Dai Shan was angry when he heard this, Liu Jiye, a hooligan, attacked and did not attack, withdrew and did not retreat, just stuck outside Shenyang like a dog skin plaster, they still had no way to take him, this stinky hooligan.

"Make peace with them!" The way of the powerless good. From Liaoyang to Shenyang, they have no temper at all along the way, after seeing the Chu army's ability to defend the city, Dai Shan, who has now lost all his artillery, also knows very well that even if there are tens of thousands of soldiers to help, it is difficult to break the castle of the Chu army.

Unless they're really willing to take human lives.

But the Qing Dynasty couldn't afford to fight such a war of attrition, and now the more than 100,000 horses that Shenyang City focused on were all the soldiers who could move weapons and ride horses in the Qing Dynasty.

"Since Liu Jiye has not stormed Shenyang, it shows that he is not willing to fight with us. In fact, we should have seen it a long time ago that Liu Jiye has always liked to avoid reality and make up for fiction when using soldiers, and every time he pursues extremely low casualties in exchange for the greatest victory. Now that Shenyang is full of troops, he is definitely not willing to fight with us. ”

This tactic is not unfamiliar to Dai Shan, and is even very familiar. This is originally the Qing army's way of fighting, the Qing army has fought with the Ming army all times, it is the same, unless the field, or the Qing army every time they attack the city, they use the method of long-term siege, and they will not easily storm the city, rely on the siege of the city to send reinforcements, and win the battle by long-term siege.

In order to avoid heavy casualties caused by storming the city as much as possible.

Now the special Chu army is also coming to this set, playing more slippery than the Qing army, what can Dai Shan say.

"Now at this time, if we make peace with Liu Jiye, we won't be able to grasp the initiative." Azig said.

Dolgon said angrily, "What initiative do we have? Unless Prince Zheng suddenly breaks through and kills under the city of Beijing, otherwise, no matter how we talk about it, we can only be in a passive position. ”

Everyone was silent, Jierharang still had 30,000 troops in Songjin, but it was not easy to bypass Guanning with these 30,000 horses and enter the pass from the area of Miyun Changping. In case as soon as Ji'er Harang is dispatched, Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou immediately send troops to Songjin, then they may even lose the chip of Liaoxi.

Liaoxi is now the most valuable bargaining chip in the hands of the Qing army, and it must not be lost.

"Send an envoy to Sandridge Fort and ask the two sides to meet and negotiate." (To be continued.) )
