Lu Jiu sneered from the side: "Mr. Wang, you don't have a single soldier now, and you can't even protect yourself, do you want to give my thirteenth brother empty white teeth and die for you?" ”

Wang Pu's face did not change, but said with a smile: "This brother said well, I, Wang Pu, have empty mouth and white teeth now, but I don't want you to work hard, but cooperate sincerely and take what you need!" ”

The conversation between the two fell on Li Xin's ears, and he was even more cloudy, and he was thinking about where Wang Pu's so-called cooperation would start. Since seeing this person, there is a big contrast with the original historical impression, Wang Pu in the history books is completely a face-painted character, greedy for money, timid, incompetent, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to use a qiē word to describe a fool on him. But after seeing the deity, I found that it was not the same thing at all.

Wang Pu may be greedy for money, but he is never timid or incompetent. This fallen soldier who is in prison and has lost all his soldiers and horses may face the most cruel punishment of the emperor in the future, but he still seeks to recover without changing his face, and this aura alone is enough to prove that this person is not a mediocre person.

But there is one thing, Li Xin knows that the most important thing for the ancients is a loyal character, although he has no subordinate relationship with Sun Chengzong, but his body has already been deeply branded with Sun Chengzong. If he changes his court at this time and joins Wang Pu's command, it is tantamount to betraying the Lord and seeking glory.

Li Xin believes that since Wang Pu dares to mention yì like this, he must have his unknown means, and he can stand tall in the officialdom of the late Ming Dynasty, and he may be greedy, despicable, or brutal, but none of them are mediocre and incompetent fools.

"Wang Dashuai is serious, Li Xin is just a grass people, and he has to be the blue eyes of Sun Gebu to do the teaching of this Gaoyang Army, and now Dashuai has a plan to do it!"

In the face of Wang Pu's aura, Li Xin didn't want to scorn him verbally, but he clearly expressed his position, it's okay to help, it's impossible to serve you Wang Pu.

"Sun Ge's eyes are like torches, the people he values are naturally not bad, and he is not reluctant, but at the moment, he really has a great merit for Brother Li."

"Li Xin's ears are listening!"

"Brother Li, do you know who is the Governor of Xuanda, the Governor of the world?"

"Lu Butang's name, who in the world doesn't know?"

"Right now, the best place for you and me to go is him."

Speaking of this, Wang Pu changed to a more comfortable posture and sat down on the ground, he was still weak and even had a little difficulty standing for a long time. He sighed again.

"Lu Butang is also very difficult, although the nominal governor of the world, but the power is in the hands of the Yang Gebu, the senior supervisor army is more willing to get in the way, according to the army. It is difficult to support it alone but it has survived to this day, and no one is sad when they see it, but today Lu Butang is really to the point of exhaustion. Although my Wang Pu's ability to lead troops in battle is average, he has never missed a hand. With Brother Li's ability, follow me in the name of Datong Town to send charcoal to this Lu Butang in the snow, and I will definitely be able to put him to death and come back to life, drive out the Tartars, and listen to the saints. ”

Li Xin heard that Wang Pu boasted that he had never missed a man, and he couldn't help but secretly slander himself, you didn't see that Zhang Li's generation was a fraud, so he accepted the bribe and silver so calmly. But what about seeing through it when you think about it? After accepting the silver, Zhang Li dared to fight back, in the end, they didn't take these mud legs in their eyes at all, and they ended up raising tigers.

As far as the truth is concerned, Wang Pu's plan really has merit. However, this is not the best choice for Li Xin, if he just wants to hear about the imperial case of Emperor Chongzhen, he has a ready-made great achievement in his hands.

But this hole card cannot be revealed.

Li Xin smiled and did not say anything for a long time. Wang Pu suddenly felt that he might have underestimated this young Minzhuang teacher, looking at his expression, it seemed that he had another idea, he had always thought that he could firmly control the initiative of the game between the two, but who knew that this person didn't seem to be interested in this. He was desperate and had no choice but to burn Lu Xiangsheng's cold stove, in his opinion, this was the next policy, but for those countrymen who had never seen the world, a serving governor of the world could not withstand an outdated former cabinet? If you were someone else, I'm afraid you would have been grateful to him for a long time, and you can't be impatient.

But based on Wang Pu's observation of the changes in Li Xin's movements and expressions, this person was not even moved at all. Unless this person is the kind of old treacherous and cunning person who is very deep in the city, there are always traces to follow, but he has not even found the slightest clue.

"Wang Dashuai will take care of his body, Li Xin promises to let you watch a good show! It's even more exciting than going to find Nalu Butang! ”

The inducement failed, and Wang Pu did not give up.

"It's okay, Ben Shuai will sit and watch Brother Li sing, if you figure it out, it's not too late to come to Ben Shuai again!"

……

In the city of Hejian Prefecture, a charcoal fire was burning in the main hall of the original Ming official office, and Yue Tuo reclined on the couch specially carried for him by the servants, and on the side of the couch were his generals.

"Suning's remnants of the Ming army must be exterminated, where did this Li Xin come from? Kong Youde betrayed the Qing Dynasty, and he must also be severely punished in order to deter those who have thoughts of wrongdoing. Ahem, ahem......"

Yue Tuo suddenly coughed lifelessly, originally felt the wind chill at the real time, and there was no major problem on the road, but since he returned to the river, it has become more and more serious, perhaps because of the bumps on the road, and he was frightened by the pursuit of the Ming army.

"Mazik is willing to share the worries of the general!"

Mazik's voice was full of urns, and he was shot in the face by Li Xin outside Suning City, and his poor and beautiful face was knocked out of his nose. Because of this, Yue Tuo did not think that he was the most suitable candidate to lead the troops.

However, a white-skinned general beside Mazik spoke, "The two thieves were released from Gaoyang City, and it is difficult to escape the blame, since you should lead the army to go, the general does not need to worry." ”

Yue Tuo nodded, he knew the ability of this person, although he was suspected of killing chickens with a knife, but as far as he could, he could avoid more losses of goods, and now there were two whole teams of goods that had been robbed and burned, and this matter could not be delayed.

"Give you 2,000 men, 1,000 cavalry, 1,000 foot soldiers, go as far as you can!"

Ao Bai waved his hand and said: "Why do you need two thousand, five hundred cavalry, five hundred foot soldiers are enough!" ”

Mazik was very dissatisfied with the fact that he was ignored by Yue Tuo and Ao Bai, but he wanted to slaughter the southern barbarian slave who ruined his appearance, so he begged Yue Tuo again.

"General, why don't you give Ao Bai Zhangjing as your deputy?"

Yue Tuo couldn't bear Mazik's soft grinding and hard foaming, and couldn't help coughing lifelessly, and it took half a cup of tea to stop.

"Aobai also happens to lack a handrail, so it's better to let Mazik follow."

After discussing the matter, Yue Tuo changed his mind and shifted the topic to Dolgon.

"The Ming Dynasty Gao Qiqian Department has gone north, but unfortunately the path is unknown, he will go to Hejian Mansion in the future, maybe he will go to Baoding Mansion, has there been any change in King Rui?"

Ao Bai sighed.

"Since the chaos in the military camp, King Rui has cut off the news channel of Aobai, and the military discussion has also been excluded, the specific details are not clear, but there is no special situation after all."

"That's good, Gao Qi's diving department is full of Guanning iron cavalry, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to my Qing Dynasty armor soldiers, so being careful is the best policy...... Ahem...... "Yue Tuo had another lifeless cough. "I'll take a letter of resignation to remind him."

Although the two have been secretly competing, Yue Tuo is not confused in the overall situation, and will not do stupid things that will cost each other cheap enemies.

Yue Tuo turned back to Suning again.

"This Li Xin has repeatedly dared to attack the strong with the weak and turn the tide...... Ahem...... If this man is not removed, it will be a great calamity for me in the future! ”

Ao Bai's expression showed disapproval, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes. What he didn't think was that Li Xin had seen this son before, and he didn't have anything too outstanding, what he relied on was just yin ingenuity and pie-like luck in the sky, and he was excited to finally be able to fight with him, and he was ashamed.

Yue Tuo's expression was naturally in his eyes, and he knew that persuasion was indeed useless, and he was not verbose.

"Allocate 2,000 soldiers and horses to capture Suning, and Mazik is the ...... forward"

Since Yue Tuo insisted on allocating more soldiers and horses to himself, of course Ao Bai had no reason to refuse, so he got up and said solemnly: "Mention Li Xinkong Youde to see the general within three days!" ”

……

In the valley of the Pigter River in the west of Suning City, Li Xin took people to take shelter here after withdrawing from Suning City. It was getting late, and the scouts brought back the news that the Qing army had reoccupied Suning City, and the Qing army did not have many horses, roughly estimated to be less than a thousand. As Li Xin expected, after only one day's effort, Yue Tuo sent someone, and the action was not unpleasant.

What surprised Li Xin even more was that the commander of the army this time was actually Mazik, who was shot and wounded by him, this product had tenacious vitality, and he could not die if he was shot in the face.

Looking at the river valley, it was white and faintly dark red, which was the blood stains left after the fierce battle, and now it was gradually covered by heavy snow. This time, Li Xin came with some refugees who did not leave, and Li Xin had bitterly advised them to flee for their lives, but unexpectedly, these people recognized that it was safer to follow Li Xin. Li Xin was also not easy to use, so he could only let them follow, but he strictly ordered these people not to go out without permission, and he had to dispatch and command the actions in a unified manner.

The sun was slanting in the west, the west wind was getting colder, and Lu Jiu followed Li Xin to inspect.

"Since we want to attack the city, why should we give up Suning?"

Li Xin didn't answer and asked: "Has the person who went to Gaoyang to contact be dispatched?" ”

"I was already on the road in the afternoon, a total of three waves of six people, there should be no mistakes!"

"Okay, do you know why you gave up Suning and then attacked the city? Escape is not the goal, the reason why we are swimming between Baoding and the river is not to contain the Tartars and eliminate their living forces? Therefore, after we leave, the Tartars will inevitably think that my Gaoyang Army will not come back, and of course they will relax their vigilance, and you and I will appear at this time. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin asked Lu Jiu with a smile.

"Do you want to see how Mazik looks when he sees you and me in the city?"
