Chapter 80: Knowing the Truth

The night turned deep, and a continuous military tent was pulled up outside Pingxiang County, and Yang Tinglin was anxiously restless in the Chinese military tent, and Lu Xiangsheng still had a high fever and was unconscious. Not only that, but even Hu Dawei, a tough guy, couldn't bear it and fell, and he also talked nonsense.

Pingxiang County Commander is a coward, seeing so many troops outside the city, he was so frightened that he closed the city gate early, regardless of the Ming army or the Qing army, as long as they led troops, they were not allowed to enter. Li Xin took Liu Quan and others to Pingxiang City, and let Yang Tinglin wear out his mouth, the county order still shook his head like a drum. In the end, Yang Tinglin had to ask for the county order, others could not enter, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, and Hu Dawei, the chief soldier of Shanxi, were seriously injured, hoping that the county order could be accommodating and put people in to heal and recuperate.

The hateful thing is that the county order still refuses to allow it, saying that it is afraid of attracting the Tartars to attack the city and retaliate, and if he harms the people of the city again, he will not be able to atone for his sins even if he dies, so he is invited to go to another county seat. scolding Yang Tinglin for jumping to his feet in a dignified civil and official manner was ultimately useless.

When the sun was about to set, Yao Wenchang's troops and the brigade finally joined Li Xin at the foot of Pingxiang City. Li Xin pondered for a while, so he simply set up camp outside the city, and worked all the way until he was in charge of the lamp.

But what followed was a scene that made everyone worry, when Hu Dawei was discussing in the Chinese military tent, he fell straight to the ground in public. Everyone helped him up, and then they realized that his whole body was hot and hot, presumably because he had been holding back the pain in his body until now.

Li Xin knows very well that Hu Dawei's high fever does not go away, and it can't be separated from the wound on his broken arm, and there is still an infection to pass next. The two important figures, all unconscious, life and death are unpredictable.

What's even more worrying is that before Hu Dawei fell into a coma, he only mentioned in a few words that Du Du's army went north, and it should be a meeting with Dolgon, maybe the Tartar would have a new move. What else can be done? Since he wants to capture Gaoyang City, he will go south, but let Du Du's army go north, and everyone will attack Gaoyang City, is it a bit of a taste of killing chickens and using knives? It seems that Dolgon is really in a hurry, and it is simply unthinkable that a small small city will hold back tens of thousands of Qing troops for a month.

Li Xin checked Lu Xiangsheng, who seemed to have fallen into a deep coma, this loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty showed no signs of waking up, and everyone present sighed and shook their heads. A few people talked about the battlefield, and it would be bleak in the future, Yang Tinglin suddenly remembered something and secretly dragged Li Xin aside.

"There is one thing, I still have to sue the envoy. The emperor has decreed that the governor of Lu Butang was dismissed, and the soldiers and horses of the king of Tianqin were dismissed. ”

Li Xin gasped, how, how? Chongzhen: Is this the rhythm of death? But Yang Tinglin's words next made him a little unexpected.

"The emperor has specially decreed to crown the old prince and prince of Sun Pavilion, and enter the cabinet with the scholars of the East Pavilion, and the governor of the world is the king of soldiers and horses!"

"What?"

Chongzhen can be regarded as a bloody capital this time, he entered the cabinet as a university scholar, and was crowned the prince and prince of the three dukes and three orphans, which is almost the pinnacle of a civil official, if you want to go further, I am afraid it will be a knighthood. However, the Ming Dynasty has always been cautious about knighthood, and except for the founding fathers, there are very few people of the opposite sex. Now Sun Chengzong's previous two identities commanded the world's Qinwang soldiers and horses, which is simply a benchmark for the opening of the general's phase, if he defeats the Tartars again, I am afraid that it is not impossible to be knighted.

Li Xin asked in disbelief: "Lord Yang is saying that Sun Ge is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses?" Didn't the emperor have already sealed it before, but now it has been added again in just ten days, why is this? ”

Yang Tinglin said gloomily: "Yes and no!" Lu Butang had already received the imperial court's order a few days ago, but the army was in motion at any time, and considering the army's heart, it was not made public in the army, but the meaning of the imperial court was clearly conveyed by the angel. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Tinglin sighed.

"I heard that it was Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, who went to deliver the decree to Sun Ge Lao, but due to the siege of the Tartars, I am afraid that Ge Lao has not received the decree yet."

Yang Tinglin's tone suddenly changed.

"I heard that Sun Ge Lao strategized and killed Tartar Yue Tuo and other thieves, and sent the head to the Beijing Division, and the emperor Longyan Dayue ...... this time"

What else did Yang Tinglin say next, Li Xin didn't hear it clearly, he couldn't accept this fact for a while, obviously it was his own credit, how could it be placed on Sun Chengzong's head? Is there a misunderstanding here? Or did someone with ulterior motives do something about it?

Li Xin didn't care that this credit was shared by Sun Chengzong, if these credits could help Sun Chengzong make a comeback, enter the cabinet, or even become the first assistant of the cabinet, he would be willing to give it with both hands. And if things are abnormal, then someone must be making trouble, or Chongzhen is simply an emperor who does not distinguish between right and wrong...... He had to figure out who had betrayed him behind his back.

In fact, the context of the matter is also very simple, it is Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, who is in charge of the meritorious service, and this product is absolutely inseparable. It was Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong Town, who sent the head and the Song Jie document to Beijing, and his link was also very important, and it is likely that Wang Pu also kicked himself behind his back.

Thinking about this, Li Xin sighed for a while, he was already cautious and cautious enough, but he didn't expect to be ruthlessly put on the table.

"Envoy? Envoy? ”

Yang Tinglin saw Li Xin stunned, and called a few times in a row before pulling Li Xin back to reality.

Li Xin looked at Yang Tinglin and suddenly said, "Lord Yang, if Li Xin said that the heads of Yue Tuo, Ao Bai and Mazik were all beheaded by Li Xin, can you believe it?" ”

This brainless sentence made Yang Tinglin stunned for a while.

"The envoy is saying that you cut off the heads of all three? In this way, the envoy is still a capable officer in front of Sun Ge's old army, which is disrespectful and disrespectful! ”

Yang Tinglin was indeed skeptical, but he couldn't take it seriously, so he said a few words of compliment. But he heard another voice say coldly: "Sun Chengzong's old man is too unauthentic, Gaoyang civil officials framed my thirteenth brother, when he wanted to kill my thirteenth brother, where was he?" Did he say a word, or did he stop those idiots? My thirteenth brother deserved it, first killed Aobai and Mazik, and then designed to take the life of Nayue Tuo. It's good now, when I fight for credit, I will snatch the credit of my thirteenth brother cleanly, and I feel that the old man is still a good official, but he is really blind! ”

"Lu Jiu is talking nonsense, what does this matter have to do with Sun Gebu?"

It was Lu Jiu who was aggrieved for Li Xin, and he overheard what Yang Tinglin had just said, so he couldn't help but complain. Yang Tinglin saw that the two of them didn't seem to be acting, and he also muttered in his heart, could it be that there was really another secret in this matter? But then there was another sigh, even if there is a hidden secret, the emperor's will has been issued, but this is absolutely unchangeable.

Yang Tinglin looked at Li Xin again, and he didn't seem to be indignant after being robbed of his great achievements, unless what Lu Jiu said was false, or this person was extraordinary. He couldn't figure out which one was more likely.

Another reason why Li Xin doesn't care is that he still has a big credit in his hand that no one can snatch away, suffer a loss, learn a good job, this time, he wants to personally present this great credit to Chongzhen, but to see who dares to do it again!

Putting aside these things that are vying for power and profit, the shape of Hebei began to become confusing, according to the development of the original history, after Du Du annihilated Lu Xiangsheng's department, he would wave his army eastward into Shandong. But he went north to join Dolgon, did they also get the news that Sun Chengzong had entered the cabinet governor Tianxia Qinwang soldiers? Want to trap it to death, or even take it captive?

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Li Xin began to feel uneasy. If Gaoyang City is broken and Sun Chengzong is martyred, this blow to the Ming Dynasty will be far greater than the history of his previous life. In his previous life, Risun was just a retired minister, and now his identity is very different, which may have been one of the factors that attracted the Tartars to besiege him.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Li Xin complained, but Yang Tinglin said in his heart: I said earlier, I had to have the right time and opportunity, and then I knew who you were? Can you casually tell someone about such a confidential matter? Yang Tinglin also learned about Li Xin's background and knew that he was really Sun Chengzong's subordinate, and he did his best to rescue Lu Xiangsheng, so he opened his heart and told him this secret.

Li Xin immediately realized his gaffe and quickly confessed.

"Don't blame adults, Li Xin is rude, and he doesn't choose to say anything for a while......"

Where would Yang Tinglin be worried about this matter, waved his hand and asked, "Special envoy, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Li Xin pondered for a while and replied:

"Early tomorrow morning, Li Xin will lead the cavalry to take the first step, and the matter of Gaoyang is always at ease, although more than 2,000 cavalry are a drop in the bucket, but it is better than nothing. And Lord Lu, who is not out of danger of his life, may ...... at any time"

Halfway through the words, it was already clear that Li Xin knew that the ancients were taboo, so he put away the second half of the sentence. In fact, he really didn't know if the blood transfused into Lu Xiangsheng's body matched the blood type, and if it didn't match, how long would it take to get sick and die.

Everything he can do has already been done, and the rest depends on God's will.

When it was over, Li Xin suddenly remembered something, and said to Yang Tinglin: "If Lord Lu doesn't wake up, you can try to drip the vinegar into the tip of the adult's tongue, or it will have an effect, but I don't know!" This is also a news he has seen in his previous life, saying that giving vegetative taste stimulation will speed up the process of awakening. Although Li Xin doesn't know if Lu Xiangsheng has become a vegetative person, there is no harm in trying a method.

At this point, although Lu Xiangsheng and Hu Dawei are not dead, they are both unconscious, whether the wheel of history has changed tracks, or has made a small bend and turned back to the original route, Li Xin does not know, he can only do his best to stop it now, as for whether it can succeed, it is becoming more and more uncertain.

The east was white, and Li Xin ordered Liu Quan to gather all the cavalry of the pro-military camp, and he had an important decision to announce.
