Chapter 384: Li Xin Talks
Zhang Sizhi immediately raised an objection, "The Central Plains is quelling the chaos at a critical moment, if Yang is transferred to Shanhaiguan, who will have the ability to stabilize the situation and annihilate the remnants?" ”
Liu Yuliang ridiculed each other and retorted: "Zhang Li Yuxian has become the end of a strong crossbow, there is Xiong Wencan in Henan, Ding Qirui in Shaanxi, it is said that King Shen also led a large army to pursue Zhang Yi into Sichuan, with these people in charge, the Central Plains is safe!" ”
After hearing this, Zhang Sizhi sneered a few times and stopped answering, but Xue Guoguan suddenly diverted the topic.
"The minister is worried in his heart, and he doesn't vomit unpleasantly!"
Zhu Youzhen asked him to say bluntly, now he wants the ministers to speak freely.
"King Shen, as a vassal king, has always commanded the army, I am afraid that the ancestral system is not in line with ......"
Obedient and listening, Xue Guo's point of view came to an end, and everyone understood the meaning of his words. Since the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne by Chengzu Zhu Di, the strictest precautions were these feudal kings who were outside, not to mention leading troops, and they did not even have the right to participate in politics. But now it's good, what is the heart of this King Shen? Not only gathered the army, but also had a great intention of being out of control, although under the guise of commenting on chaos for the imperial court, its intentions had already penetrated Sima Zhao's heart.
This topic was originally regarded as taboo by the ministers, the emperor didn't ask, and the ministers didn't say it, until Liu Yuliang brought King Shen out, and Xue Guoguan shook it on the bright side for some reason. And Zhu Youzhen has long been familiar with the affairs of King Shen, the reason why he opened his eyes and closed his eyes was that the troops in his hands were stretched thin, for fear that he would let this person rebel if he was not handled properly, so he wanted to press it first, and wait for the war in the Central Plains to end, and then let Yang Sichang beat the rabbit with grass and take it down.
Now that the ministers have mentioned it, Zhu Youzhen naturally can't pretend to be ignorant anymore, so he asked, "Do the secretaries have a countermeasure?" ”
Xue Guoguan immediately stepped forward and said: "The reason why King Shen's army was able to drive straight into Sichuan and Shaanxi and beat the thief Zhang against him was that there was only one person who relied on him, and he only needed to transfer this person out of the Sichuan and Shaanxi army, and King Shen would naturally be defeated!" ”
"Oh?" When Zhu Youzhen heard that he could solve his henchmen's problems without bloodshed, he immediately became interested and asked, "Who has such ability?" Do I know about this person? ”
Xue Guoguan said: "The saint has naturally heard of it, Zuo Liangyu, the former Henan commander-in-chief!" ”
It turned out to be him? This person is said to have been defeated in a battle in Pingyang, almost the whole army was wiped out, Yang Sichang had participated in this person, but when the Yellow River was broken by Li Zicheng, and there were thieves in Beijing, the matter was shelved, and I didn't want this person to fall under the command of King Shen, so he just hit a piece of the world. It seems that this person should still be a general, Zhu Youzhen suddenly had the idea of loving talent, and he did not intend to cure this person's crime.
"In this case, transfer Zuo Liangyu as the general soldier of Jizhou, follow Yang Sichang to the north, and Xiong Wencan will take care of all the things of the thief!"
As soon as Zhu Youzhen's words came out, the important ministers immediately said in unison, "Long live Shengming!" ”
This is indeed the best ending, several important ministers in the court, do not have to risk their lives, and Yang Sichang was transferred away from the place of great merit, and after returning to the dynasty in the future, he will inevitably lose a few points because he did not complete the work. As for the land of Jiliao, it is not comparable to the thieves, since the year of the Apocalypse, few of the successive governors have had a good end, can Yang Sichang escape this fate? Anyway, several important ministers in the court didn't believe it.
……
The Tanma of the Xiashui Sea Camp came back, and he brought a messenger sent by the imperial court, and the eunuch Gao Keng, the eunuch of the court. Li Xin woke up from a dream after learning that Sanwei was besieged by the Qing army, and the ominous premonition that had been hanging over his heart before became a reality, which also explained why none of the detectives sent to Zhenwei to inquire about intelligence were able to return.
"General Li is not our family Zhang He thinks that to destroy our own morale, this time the Tartars are considered to have made a bloody investment, don't you see it, the Tartars outside the Zhenwei are very fierce, and even characters like Hong Butang have not taken advantage of it, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that his 10,000 people are not enough to stuff the Tartars, don't hesitate, let's withdraw, withdraw to rescue Sanwei from fire and water!"
This news is definitely a bombshell for the Three Guards and the Mongol Tribal Alliance, once it is announced, it will inevitably be like a worse situation, and it can even cause the entire coalition army to collapse, so Li Xin kept this matter strictly secret, and only held a small meeting between several high-ranking officials of the Three Guards.
Lu Jiu was the first to stand up and agree with Gao Keng's opinion.
"Zhenyuwei is the foundation of our three guards, and there is absolutely no room for loss, so I have no choice but to give up these Mongolian Tatars. General, let's withdraw overnight! ”
Several other battalion officers also expressed their positions, Li Xin's brows were twisted into a Sichuan character, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he suddenly noticed the two unfamiliar faces in attendance, isn't this Mi Yan of the field service team? Why is this person here? Oh, by the way, he came with Gao Keng, and then he remembered that Gao Keng had indeed said that he had brought Mi Yan and another member of the land service team named Zhao Baisheng over, and he thought that the other one was Zhao Baisheng.
"You, yes, that's you, tell me what you think about it!"
Li Xin ignored everyone's pleas, but pointed at Mi Yan and asked him to express his opinion. Mi Yan never expected that Li Xin would notice himself and let him express his views by name, and he was not hypocritical immediately, but spit out as soon as possible, and said all his inner thoughts one by one.
"Since the general can afford to look down on the below, he will spit out as soon as he is below!"
The battalion officers of Mi Yanqi and the three guards all knew it, and they didn't have a good impression of this person, so naturally they booed it. However, Mi Yan didn't care, but said it to herself.
"I don't think the last choice of the Three Guards is to leave this place and go south......
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the opposition of a battalion officer, "Mi Yan boy, don't talk nonsense, otherwise you will ......" But after the battalion officer noticed Li Xin's displeased expression, the second half of the sentence made him swallow back hard.
"You go on!"
With Li Xin's encouragement, Mi Yan continued to express her opinion.
"Although it has only been a few hours since I arrived here, I have a slight understanding of the general's strategic intentions, and it is really a stroke of genius to use the Tartars to govern the Tartars, and it is indeed half of the success, and this great Mongolian tribe is also an unprecedented move. However, once we give up now, giving up this tribal alliance, it will be tantamount to losing trust, and the consequences for the general's long-term strategic intentions will be fatal, and even irreversible. ”
"Don't be alarmist, how irreparable, say that you are ugly!"
Lu Jiu interjected coldly on the side.
Mi Yan glanced at the road, and arched his hand: "General Lu, don't worry, I am about to say that at this critical point, once the general gives up the Mongolian tribal alliance, it will be tantamount to losing trust in the Mongolian tribes of the Monan steppe." And if you want to regain this lost trust and credibility, I am afraid it will be difficult to ascend to the sky, and if you want to dominate the grassland in the future, you will only have to use force and shed blood. Not only did the Tartars bleed to death, but my Chinese men also had to bleed to their deaths. What's more, there are still Manchu captives in Liaodong who are eyeing them, how is this kind of behavior tantamount to pushing the Mongol tribes of Southern Mo to them again? Otherwise, the various tribes of Southern Mongolia will become a natural barrier for our Ming Dynasty to shield the Manchu captives. ”
Mi Yan paused, glanced at the people in the military tent, and said calmly: "Therefore, once the Three Guards retreat, the losses and consequences caused are immeasurable. The current situation is difficult on the surface, but there is not necessarily no solution. Speaking of this, Mi Yan saluted Li Xin again, "Presumably, the general has already made a bamboo in his chest!" ”
The military tent suddenly fell into an unprecedented silence, everyone was reminiscing about what Mi Yan said, which was very intriguing, if this tribal alliance really had the benefits of what he said, it really couldn't give up lightly, and more importantly, this kid actually said that Li Xin had already made a bamboo in his chest.
Lu Jiu looked at Li Xin in disbelief and a little worried, Mi Yan is not setting up a trap for the thirteenth brother to dig a pit for him to drill and jump in!
Li Xin was expressionless, just nodded lightly, and then asked everyone.
"What do you think?"
In fact, he was quite surprised in his heart, he had always underestimated this young man, and he had always thought that this product was like those contemporary readers who only knew how to talk on paper, but he didn't expect that there was still a little ink in his stomach. What's even more rare is that this person actually came to the camp for only a few hours, and he understood his entire strategic intent in just a few words, and he was a talent!
"Ben Shuai has a difficult task to be entrusted to you to perform, do you have the guts?"
Li Xin's heart suddenly moved, and he decided to impose an examination on him.
Mi Yan's eyes were excited and he bowed and said: "The general has a place to get Mi Yan, even if he orders, Mi Yan will do his best......"
This is Mi Yan's true words, the idea of making contributions has been suppressed in his chest for too long, and its intensity is no worse than that of Lu Huizhong, but he deeply thinks that when the eldest husband is alive, he should do something and not do something.
"This marshal is ready to negotiate with the commander of the Qing army, do you have the courage to go to the Qing camp and be a messenger?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and some people only thought it was incredible, why did the general actually want to negotiate? There are also people who look at Mi Yan gloatingly, this kid has a righteous and awe-inspiring virtue when he speaks, I'm afraid that this time it will show its original form, and the general has a good strategy.
Unexpectedly, Mi Yan actually responded, "The general has a life, and Mi Yan swears not to disgrace his life!" ”
Is this a promise? Going to Qingying is not an outing, just go when you say you go, if you don't make a good fuss, you have to lose your head if you don't go back, and everyone in the tent can't help but put away their contempt for Mi Yan.
That night, Mi Yan left the military camp that stretched for several miles and went straight to the Qing army camp.
The yellow flag Gushan Ezhen Baiyin Tu was worried about the war and had not slept all the time, turning over and over on the bed, and suddenly a servant came to report: "The Ming army sent someone to ask to see Gushan Ezhen, saying that he wanted to negotiate with Gushan Ezhen!" ”
Hearing this, he scrambled to his feet......
