"Soldiers are not tired of deceit, and this official is doing this to stabilize the hearts of the people."

Li Yuntian saw that Li Qingzheng and Zhao Weide looked shocked, so he smiled slightly and said in an orderly manner, "This official is preparing to recruit troops in Guangxi, and there will be a military army of tens of thousands of people next year, and then it will be the day of the demise of those rebels." ”

"My lord, are you going to recruit troops in Guangxi?"

Li Qingzheng and Zhao Weide were surprised again, and couldn't help but glance at each other, the two originally thought that Li Yuntian would mobilize the elites of the local guards of the northern Ming army to go south, but they never imagined that he would actually recruit troops in Guangxi, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the Guangxi guard post was far inferior to the army of the northern guard post.

"The climate and topography of Guangxi are most similar to those of Jiaozhi, and the soldiers recruited from Guangxi are the most suitable to go to Jiaozhi to participate in the war." Li Yuntian knew what the two of them were thinking, and explained quietly, "This official is not only for military households, but also for civilian households, only those who meet the standards of this official can join the army, and this official believes that they will not disappoint this official." ”

"My lord, the lower official feels that it is not appropriate to let the local soldiers and local soldiers join the Xiaowu Army, in case the news leaks out, so that the rebels know that the adult has not enough troops to come this time." Zhao Weide knew that the wood was already in the boat, and it was too late to say anything now, so he had to find a way to deal with it, so he groaned for a while and said with a stern expression.

"This news can't be hidden, the rebels will find out after all, and it is better for the officer to personally tell them that their own officers and soldiers are insufficient."

Li Yuntian shook his head when he heard this, and said to Zhao Weide with a smile, "The art of war is cloudy, but the truth is false, and the virtual is real, the more they despise this official, the more beneficial it will be to this official." ”

"Did you leak the news on purpose?" Zhao Weide finally understood, Li Yuntian did not do this because of negligence, but intentionally, his face was suddenly full of surprise, and he didn't understand Li Yuntian's intention to do this.

"How's the battle going in Cochin now?" Li Yuntian nodded with a smile, because it involved military secrets, he didn't explain anything, but looked at Li Qingzheng.

"The rebels have captured two-thirds of the area of Jiaozhi, except for Thanh Hoa City, the area south of Jiaozhou of our army has all fallen." The look on Li Qingzheng's face couldn't help but darken, and he said in a deep voice, he never imagined that the dignified Daming Xiongshi would be beaten to the ground by the rebels in Jiaozhi.

"Who is the Thanh Hoa City Guard?" Li Yuntian suddenly felt a little surprised, and couldn't help asking.

The topography of Cochin is somewhat strange, it is located in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, the northern area is open, while the southern area is oblique along the coastline, more than 2,000 li from north to south, and only 100 li from east to west.

If you look down from the air, the area under the jurisdiction of Cochin is in the shape of an inverted gourd, with a large gourd head and a slender gourd belly.

Thanh Hoa City is located in the middle of Cochin, just at the junction of the gourd head and the gourd body, and is the old nest of Li Li.

Now that the rebels have advanced to Jiaozhou City, which is located in the north-central part of Jiaozhi, almost all the areas south of Jiaozhou City have become rebel occupation areas, and Qinghua City is still in the hands of the Ming army, which really surprised Li Yuntian.

"Lord Yu, the prefect of Qinghua Prefecture is Luo Tong, a Jinshi of Yongle for ten years, who once patrolled Sichuan, and the commander of Qinghua Wei is loyal, and he once made military merits during the British Gongnan Expedition, and was able to be hereditary Qinghua Wei commander." When Li Qingzheng heard this, he introduced two important civil and military officials of Thanh Hoa to Li Yuntian.

"It's not easy!" Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, Luo Tong and Dazhong can hold Qinghua City in the hinterland of the rebels, it seems that they still have some ability, if the defenders of the cities in Jiaozhi have one-tenth of the ability, the situation in Jiaozhi will not be so grim.

"My lord, as far as the lower officials know, Cheng Shanbo once ordered Luo Tong and Dazhong to abandon the city, but the two still insisted." At this time, Zhao Weide couldn't help but speak, quietly expressing his dissatisfaction with Cheng Shanbo.

"Oh?" Due to the lack of information, Li Yuntian really didn't know about this matter, and he was a little surprised, and then shook his head helplessly, this kind of thing can be done with Wang Tong's person, otherwise he would not have sent someone to send Li Li to ask for the canonization of Chen Wei as the king of Annan.

"My lord, Xia Guan got a message yesterday, and I don't know if it's true or not, saying that Cheng Shanbo gathered the officials and soldiers of Jiaozhi City seven days ago to go out of the city, set up an altar outside the city to form an alliance with the rebel Li Li, agreed to withdraw the army, and feasted Li Li, and gave Li Li Jinqi, and Li Li also gave back the treasure as a thank you." Zhao Weide hesitated for a moment, and told Li Yuntian something in a deep voice.

"What?" Li Yuntian was taken aback when he heard this, he never imagined that Wang Tong would dare to negotiate peace with Li Li in private, which was a mortal crime and treason.

"You mean, Cheng Shanbo made an agreement with the rebel prime minister to withdraw from the army?" Subsequently, Li Yuntian realized a strict question, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Weide and asked urgently.

The meaning of the recital sent by Li Li is very clear, asking the imperial court to canonize Chen Wei as the king of Annam, which means that Jiaozhi will once again become a subject state of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Tong's retreat is actually a withdrawal from Jiaozhi, does Wang Tong have such a big courage to dare to disobey Emperor Xuande's holy decree?

However, in the next moment, Li Yuntian understood, the official document of the imperial court had just been sent to Xuanhua Mansion seven days ago, and the Jiaozhou Mansion where Xuanhua Mansion and Jiaozhou City were located were separated by Taiyuan Mansion and Sanjiang Mansion, and Wang Tong did not know that Emperor Xuande had suppressed the rebellion again next time.

Jiaozhou City is the largest city in Jiaozhi and the strongest city defense, originally Li Yuntian also wanted to rely on the city defense of Jiaozhou City to block the offensive of the rebels, but now it seems that this will become a luxury, seven days is enough time for Wang Tong to arrange the withdrawal of troops, and his previous deployment of Jiaozhi will be completely disrupted.

"My lord, I just heard about the humble position, and now there are rebels everywhere in Jiaozhou Mansion, and the news is inconvenient, and I don't know if it's true or not." Li Qingzheng also heard this for the first time, and looked at Zhao Weide with a surprised expression, and Zhao Weide replied cautiously.

"Lord Zhao, you send someone to Sanjiang Mansion immediately to inquire about the news, if ...... If Cheng Shanbo really withdrew his troops, then immediately stop moving forward, and stationed in Sanjiang Mansion on the spot, waiting for the official to go. Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and he said to Zhao Weide in a deep voice.

"Obedience." Zhao Weide knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't dare to slack off, got up and bowed his hand to Li Yuntian, left in a hurry, and went to arrange for people to rush to Sanjiang Mansion.

"This Chengshan Uncle can spoil my big thing, let me explain it to the emperor!" After Zhao Weide left, Li Yuntian couldn't help but smile bitterly at Li Qingzheng.

Li Yuntian knew that Li Li did not want to make the relationship with the Ming Dynasty too stiff, so he wanted to use the Jiaozhou Mansion as the boundary to reach an armistice agreement with Li Li, and hand over the area south of the Jiaozhou Mansion to Li Li for autonomy, and the boundary north of the Jiaozhou Mansion still belonged to the Ming Dynasty, so as to gain respite and reorganize the soldiers recruited from Guangxi.

There are 12 prefectures and Zhili Prefecture in the area south of Jiaozhou, accounting for two-thirds of the area of Jiaozhi, which is a scene that Li Li is absolutely willing to see, and has achieved his goal of rebellion, and is absolutely unwilling to carry it to the end with the Ming Dynasty, which has millions of troops and hundreds of millions of people.

However, if Wang Tong evacuated Jiaozhou City, then Jiaozhou Capital would not be able to be saved, and it would also become Li Li's bag at that time, and the area controlled by the Ming army would undoubtedly be further reduced.

What is particularly important is that Jiaozhou City is the seat of the three divisions of Jiaozhi, that is, the provincial capital of Jiaozhi, and its political significance is far greater than its strategic significance.

"My lord, this is not your fault, and you don't need to blame yourself." When Li Qingzheng heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth to comfort Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian was able to reach Jiaozhi in such a short time, and he had done his best, and if he wanted to blame Wang Tong, he was bold and reckless, and privately negotiated peace with the rebel leader.

"Gong Li, there are no outsiders now, you can call me 'resurrection'." Li Yuntian smiled and said to Li Qingzheng, not only honorifically calling Li Qingzheng "Li Gong", but also revealing an intimacy in his words, but also extremely kind.

"Since the lord said so, then it is better for the lower officials to be respectful and obey their orders." Li Qingzheng suddenly laughed, if he had changed before, he would have felt that Li Yuntian's move was very hypocritical and he was trying to win him over, but now it is different, he thinks that Li Yuntian is informal, has a straightforward personality, and the grievances between the two have long since disappeared.

"Gong Li, do you have any news about Lord Huang Fuhuang?" Li Yuntian then remembered something and couldn't help asking.

Huang Fu came to Jiaozhi with the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi with Liu Sheng's army, preparing to take charge of the Yamen of the Political Envoy of Jiaozhi and the Yamen of the Inspectorate, since the defeat of Liu Sheng's army, Huang Fu has not heard from him, and he does not know whether he died in the chaos or escaped with his life.

For Li Yuntian, Huang Fu can be said to be very important, Huang Fu has been in Jiaozhi for 19 years, widely practicing benevolent government, and is deeply loved by the people of Jiaozhi, so he has a bad relationship with Ma Qi, if there is Huang Fu to help him, then things will become much easier after Jiaozhi.

"I don't have any news of Lord Huang, if Lord Huang can stay in Jiaozhi all the time, Jiaozhi will not become what it is today, and the eunuch will mislead the country!" Hearing Li Yuntian mention Huang Fu, the look on Li Qingzheng's face couldn't help but become dim, and he said with emotion.

Li Yuntian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, the "eunuch" in Li Qingzheng's mouth naturally refers to Ma Qi, the lieutenant guard of Jiaozhi, if it weren't for Ma Qi squeezing out and framing Huang Fu, Huang Fu would not have left Jiaozhi.

And if Huang Fu did not leave Jiaozhi, Ma Qi and the magistrates of Jiaozhi would not have intensified their exploitation of the people, and finally led to a larger-scale rebellion in Jiaozhi than the previous ones, which made the situation out of control.

However, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, in Li Yuntian's view, even if Huang Fu in Jiaozhi at most postponed the time of the Jiaozhi rebellion, if the greedy local officials in Jiaozhi are not replaced, the rebellion will eventually break out.

And what he has to do now is to correct this mistake, first let Wang Jin take Ma Qi, and then remove the local officials of Jiaozhi, and then solve the root cause of the rebellion in Jiaozhi, this is the long-term peace and stability.!^!
