Letting Li Xin go to the peace talks is tantamount to letting him bear the black pot, which is already a consensus in the imperial court. Since Sun Chengzong proposed to let Li Xin contact the Manchus on behalf of the imperial court, the ministers who were originally strongly opposed to peace talks with the Manchus were extremely rare to be silenced. As for what their idea is, everyone knows it.

Even if he is as dull as Shi Datuo, he realizes that letting Li Xin do this is definitely a flattering errand inside and out. Niu Dan also agreed with Shi Da Tuo's statement, but he followed Li Xin through many battles, and won every battle, and he had developed a superstitious worship of the general.

In Niu Dan's opinion, no matter how difficult it is, it is not a problem for Li Xin. Now the first task of him and Shi Datuo is to find Li Xin, this battle due to the arrest of people, they missed too many critical moments, although they suffered a lot of crimes along the way, but fortunately, the emperor Lao'er is not too confused, the two of them were locked in the edict prison and not handed over to the criminal department and the military department, which is equivalent to protecting them in disguise.

Now that he finally has the opportunity to leave the Jingshi, leave the Imperial Prison, and leave the clutches of those despicable and filthy Wenchens, even if he lets Niu Dan go to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, he will not hesitate to agree.

The two of them walked all the way to Xuanfu on the northern line, and after a rapid march day and night, they finally arrived in Datong Mansion within three days. Zhenyuwei is less than thirty miles away from them, Niu Dan and Shi Datuo can't suppress the excitement in their hearts, Datong has won the final victory after a fierce battle, they have heard about it as early as in Beijing, thinking that they can return to the team to see the general soon, and they can't help but speed up the pace of urging the tired war horse under the crotch to speed up.

Before the sun set, the last hill was turned, and the head of the town was already looming in the afterglow of the setting sun, and Shi Datuo shouted excitedly.

"Lao Tzu is finally back......"

But before the sound of the word "了" could land, Shi Datuo's words stopped abruptly, and he suddenly noticed a trace of unusual taste.

By evening, the sun was already blood-red, and it was setting on the other side of the mountain at a speed almost visible to the naked eye, and the mountains and walls were already hidden in black shadows. According to common sense, once the sun sets, a wind lantern will be lit at the head of the acropolis, rain or shine all year round. However, the Acropolis in front of him was dark and gloomy, as if it was shrouded in a thick aura of death.

Niu Dan and Shi Datuo galloped on horseback, and when the ruins were completely revealed, they were desperate to find that the castle, which was once small but well-repaired, was in ruins.

They could imagine what a terrible battle had been fought inside and outside the Acropolis before it was abandoned. The cow egg shook his nose, and a faint smell came into his nasal cavity, which made him almost nauseous in an instant.

At this time, Shi Datuo lost his soul and was full of dazed eyes, "Niu, General Niu, the town guard is finished, where can we go to find the general?" ”

"Let's go to Yanghewei first, it's heavily guarded, and it shouldn't be the end of the town guard!"

After some discussion, the two decided to go to Yang Hewei to find out the news of Li Xin, maybe the general was stationed here, after all, this place was the place where Li Xin was born, and it was not surprising that he was stationed here after the end of the war.

As a result, they pounced again, and they weren't even there to suppress Mao Weizhang, but there was still a surprise that Qian Tai, who was guarding the town, was actually ordered to guard here. In Qian Tai's mouth, he learned that Li Xin had led his troops north out of the border wall, preparing to annihilate the Mobei Mongol coalition army that had invaded the border before.

Qian Tai was very surprised by the sudden appearance of Niu Dan and Shi Da Tuo, originally thought that these two people had died a long time ago during the battle of the town guard, but he didn't expect that they were still alive. After listening to the general description of Niu Shi and the others, Qian Tai was indignant.

"It's all that Hong Butang is doing it, this person seems to be loyal to the king and serving the country, but he didn't expect to be so despicable and deceitful!"

Shi Datuo also echoed and scolded Hong Chengchou a few words, he and Qian Tai did not deal with each other in the first place, but at this time, they were unprecedentedly unanimous.

Due to the emperor's order, Niu Shi and the others couldn't take a break, and went out of Yang and Wei out of the side wall overnight to find Li Xin. Due to the flood of horse thieves on the road along the side wall, Qian Tai was not at ease and sent a team of 100 centaurs to escort him casually, which moved Shi Datuo, who had experienced a drastic change in his life, with tears in his eyes.

After a lot of hardships, Niu Shi and the two finally found Li Xin's main force on the shore of Qi'er Sea. At this time, the Three Guards Army and the Mobei Mongol Coalition Army were engaged in a game of cat and mouse.

Since the news of Turg's defeat reached the grassland, Baiyintu could no longer mobilize the coalition forces of the four major divisions of Mobei like a finger, and they passed the buck to each other's military orders. Therefore, he had already retreated, but due to the strict orders of the Great Khan, he was in a constant state of flux with the punishment he might face when he returned.

When Li Xin heard the news that Niu Dan and Shi Da Tuo had been found all the way, he was also as happy as Qian Tai, not only that, but the whole of the Three Guards felt that this was a good sign.

"What? The imperial court wants peace talks? ”

But the news brought by Niu Shi and the others listened to everyone's ears, but it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, they fought to the death in front, and the court said that peace talks would be peace talks, and they also sent them, the warriors who were born and died, to be responsible for the contact with the Tartars.

Mao Weizhang was the first to stand up against it and questioned it.

"General Niu, is this the meaning of the saint, or the meaning of the minister?"

His thoughts were obvious, the emperor should not come up with such a ghost idea to trap Li Xin in such an embarrassing situation, after all, Li Xin was favored and believed in the emperor, and everyone in the world knew it. But Niu Dan's words shocked everyone.

"It's not the emperor, it's the old ...... Sun Ge"

How is this possible? Mao Weizhang was surprised and asked again: "You say it slowly, yes, is it Gaoyang Sun Ge Lao?" ”

Niu Dan spread his hands: "Who else can there be besides him?" ”

This answer made everyone gasp, feeling that this was an incredible thing, Sun Chengzong was Li Xin's Bole, although this old man rarely contacted Li Xin, but everyone here had already classified Li Xin as Sun Chengzong's descendant. How could Sun Chengzong put Li Xin in such an unfavorable position? Isn't this pushing the general into the fire pit?

Peace talks, whether they succeed or fail, are all thankless tasks. If it succeeds, the imperial court will definitely lose a lot of benefits, which will bury a hidden danger that will explode at any time, and the reputation of betraying the country will definitely be picked out by countless civil servants at any time as a target attack. If it fails, there is a possibility that the ministers will be killed by the scholars at any time. At that time, Li Xin will become the target of public criticism, not to mention running Shanxi, it is difficult to say whether he can keep himself.

Everyone in the yurt objected to the terrible errand that Sun Chengzong found for Li Xin, and Niu Dan shouted.

"Don't make any noise, there is a holy purpose here, is it possible to let the general resist the decree?"

Niu Dan took out the holy decree wrapped in yellow silk satin from his dirty baggage and held it above his head with both hands.

"Is the Divine Decree a bird? Will there be no foreign military orders, let alone random orders? ”

In the face of the holy decree, the first to stand up against it was Lu Jiu, his horse thief's temper came up, not to mention the holy decree, even if the emperor Lao Tzu personally stood here, he dared to confront it on the spot. The high-level leaders of the Three Guards are basically from the bottom, and they don't buy the authority of the imperial court very much, especially if they are asked to do such a scolded bridging deed, and they will not be scolded by thousands of people in the future, then the gains outweigh the losses.

For a while, the crowd was excited, and they all shouted loudly, making Li Xin ignore the emperor's holy decree.

"Still talking about a bird? General, with the strength of our three guards, even if we sweep Liaodong, it may not be impossible, it is better for us to fight all the way to Liaodong and enter Shenyang City......"

"Yes, what Zhang Yingguan said is right, let's enter Shenyang City, and ask the emperor to take a look, our three guards have always only killed Tartars! If you want to surrender, let the court send those cowardless ghosts! ”

Seeing that the generals of the Three Guards in the yurt were full of righteous indignation, and the words they said were more and more sensational, although Mao Weizhang was also a hero, after all, he was from the orthodox background of the imperial court, and his face turned pale with surprise when he heard these rebellious words in his ears.

If this is spread to the ears of people with ulterior motives in the DPRK and China, it will definitely be a trouble for Li Xin that cannot be provoked. I wanted to say something to stop him, but it didn't seem to be the first time that these people were so presumptuous, but when he turned his head to look at Li Xin, he saw that he was silent and silent, and he seemed to be accustomed to these people's rebellious words.

Mao Wei opened his stomach and sneered, the general has always been cautious and thoughtful, how to be so unrestrained to his subordinates, it will inevitably cause hidden dangers in the future, it seems that it is better to remind him when he has the opportunity.

When everyone was almost noisy, Li Xin pressed his hands and glanced at the people in the yurt.

"Li Xin, as the chief soldier of the imperial court, how can he have a reason to resist the decree, don't say more, rectify military affairs, defeat Baiyintu and march east to make peace with the Tartars!"

Li Xin's words stunned everyone, they were full of hope that the general would understand their hopes, and even thought that this was also the general's idea, so they were unscrupulous. But Li Xin is really ready to take over this hot potato.

Everyone tried to persuade Li Xin to change his mind, but Li Xin got up from his seat, left everyone behind, and left. Li Xin knew that with these subordinates of the rectum, the theory was useless, and in this case, instead of trying to convince, it was better to be as simple and rude as it was now.

However, Li Xin underestimated the determination of his subordinates to resist the holy decree of the peace talks this time, and on the same day, the battalions besieged and attacked the four major coalition armies of Mobei began to become ineffective, which calmed down the battle situation that should have been advancing all the way.

And that's not all, the intelligence system of the Liaodong side sent back another explosive news.

Hong Chengchou defeated the main force of the Qing army, recaptured the Qiantun guard of Guangning, and took it step by step, all the way to restore the fortress and repair it directly to the city of Ningyuan! This caused another uproar among the Three Guards!
