Sun Ji was responsible for guarding the territory as the governor of Nanzhili, and when he learned that Shi Kefa's army was defeated in Chizhou, he couldn't sit in a chair anymore, and set off again to rush to the Longtan military camp overnight to find Li Xin to get an idea. Because in the territory of Nanzhili, the only thing he could mobilize was Li Xin's Three Guards.

He, the governor of Nanzhili, was no better than those governors and governors of the Central Plains and Shaanxi to suppress thieves, and he was in charge of the military and political affairs of several provinces at every turn. Due to Nanjing's special status as the capital of Liu, the dispatch of the governor of Sun Jiaonan Zhili is more of a special transfer, that is, to investigate and deal with the case of embezzlement of millions of public funds by the Zhejiang City Bosi and the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau. In addition, the emperor did not in other respects grant Sun the right to act arbitrarily and cheaply, as he did in the war-torn provinces.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Sun Ji fell into the sand and left Nanzhili in a gray manner, in the final analysis, the scope of the temporary dispatch power of the governor and governor is very large, the big one can do anything, and the small one may also be regarded as nothing by the officials under his jurisdiction.

This time, Sun Ji didn't even sit in a sedan chair, but instead rode a horse and took a retinue to Longtan. To Sun Jiao's surprise, there was not the slightest tension in the Three Guards Army, and only a few outposts were hung with wind lanterns accompanied by the sound of fighting, swaying in the wind.

"Shi Kefa's soldiers were defeated, the Huangmei thieves and the thieves of the fifth battalion of Gezuo attacked Anqing Mansion, if the thieves succeeded, the Nanjing portal will be lost!"

In the face of Li Xin's leisure, Sun Ji was a little impatient, and his tone was heavier than ever. But Li Xin replied with a smile:

"Why is the ministry here, there is Wei Guogong in the town and guards, if Li Xin oversteps his position, won't he take people's jobs?"

Sun Jiao suddenly realized that the Duke of Wei was reactivated by the current saint and specially placed in Nanjing to guard Nanzhili, how eager he was, and even forgot about this. Even if Li Xin's Three Guards sent troops, they could only be justified at the invitation of the Duke of Wei.

Thinking of this, Sun Jiao's originally hanging heart was put down again, Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, is the descendant of the founding general Xu Da, who was highly valued as early as the Wanli period. However, he still had some faint disappointment in his heart, and he really looked forward to Li Xin's Three Guards being able to fight a terrifying battle in Nanzhili, so that he could act calmly and calmly in order to clear the atmosphere of extravagance in the south of the Yangtze River...... It's a pity......

"Not only Wei Guogong, don't forget that we also have a Zhang Ge Department on our heads, he controls the military horses of the three towns in Jiangbei, and it is his duty to send troops to relieve the siege of Anqing."

Sun Ji was secretly embarrassed, how could he be so unstable when he heard that the war suddenly started, but the officials at all levels of Nanzhili stacked beds and framed houses, and their responsibilities overlapped, and there were two important ministers in charge of this matter alone, and it seemed that it was no longer his turn to worry about Sun Ji.

"That's fine, let's just sit back and wait for news! It's a pity that the errand assigned by the saint doesn't know how long it will be delayed. ”

"The ministry and look at the secret report brought back by the detective horse from Jiangxi."

Li Xin suddenly took out a thin official document from the table full of official documents and handed it to Sun Ji. Sun Ji took it in his hand and looked at it for a few lines, and his face changed color.

"Is that true?"

"It may not be true, and it is definitely not groundless" Li Xin sneered, the current world has become more and more distant from the history he is familiar with. Now that Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Dynasty is in his prime, careerists from all over the world have been unable to resist their thirst for power and are ready to move, such as King Shen is one of them. The few breezes stirred up by the butterfly's wings have now turned into a storm.

"Thanks to Brother Li for deducting the millions of stone rice purchased by Zuo Mengeng, otherwise wouldn't all this grain become a rebellion against the enemy?"

Li Xin's face suddenly showed a little worried, "It is estimated that the rebellion in Raozhou has been planned for a long time, if it weren't for Zuo Mengeng's purchase of grain, I really wouldn't have thought that King Shen would go up, this person is thousands of miles away in Shaanxi, and he can influence the remote control of Raozhou's rebellion, and he will definitely become the first internal trouble of the imperial court in the future!" ”

He only had to say that King Shen would be the biggest threat to the throne of Emperor Zhu Youzhen today, after all, King Shen is also the blood of Taizu, and Zhu Youzhen has been defeated internally and externally, and his authority is not as good as Chongzhen ten years ago.

And King Shen, a beast like a leopard and a wolf, was indirectly released by Li Xin. At the beginning, Liu Guoneng ravaged Shanxi, Li Xin led the troops from Sanwei to the south to quell the rebellion, and King Shen, who was in Lu'an Mansion, took advantage of the situation at this time to raise troops and cross the river south with the thieves, until he joined Zuo Liangyu, and gradually gained a firm foothold in Shaanxi, and fought several vicious battles with Zhang Xianzhong's thieves, and finally defeated Zhang Xianzhong's momentum of counterattacking Shaanxi, and Zhu Youzhen, who was thousands of miles away, also acquiesced to King Shen's actions.

Zhu Youzhen thought that King Shen could block the thieves for him in Shaanxi, but he didn't know that it was a legacy of raising tigers, and when he realized the danger, he was afraid that it would be too late to make a big mistake.

To this day, even though Li Xin is disappointed in this decadent Ming Dynasty, after all, there are Manchu Tartars in the north who are peeped by tigers and wolves, and there are Zhang Li thieves who burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil. Only then can the Chinese nation hope to rise in the forest of the world again.

If the situation is allowed to deteriorate, it is true that taking the old road of history is not what Li Xin is happy to see. But if he took the other way, what Li Xin saw so far was a harbinger of the division of the princes and warlords.

It wasn't until Sun Ji called three or four times in a row that Li Xin came back from his contemplation.

Sun Ji felt that it was better to take the initiative to plan quietly and wait for the changes, and the counterinsurgency was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and only in this way could he have the opportunity to show his ambitions and clear up the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. What's even more rare is that Sun Jiaoqi doesn't seem to have the kind of hostility and vigilance that today's scholars are born with to martial artists, maybe Li Xinqi's appearance in Gaoyang left a deep impression on him, and he was dealing with Li Xin, so he was so honest.

Of course, Li Xin could hear that Sun Jiao's conversation with him was full of implicit meanings to make him exert his strength and strive for a share of merit. However, now is not the time for the Three Guards to send troops, and the credit is easy to grab, and the enemies formed as a result are even more difficult to get rid of.

What's more, if those who rush to win merit are not allowed to hit the wall a few times and suffer a few times, how can they willingly let the Three Guards send troops to clean up the situation? Sun Jian suddenly found that Li Xin was not very optimistic about Wei Guogong and Zhang Fangyan, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, if these two failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Brother Li is not optimistic about Wei Guogong and Zhang Gebu?" Sun Jiao finally asked, this kind of thing is still clearly asked, and he attaches great importance to Li Xin's opinion.

In addition to Sun Jiao, there are many people who can't sleep at night, and Jing Kedong is one of the many officials in Nanjing. His third brother has an industry in Anqing Mansion, and he has also participated in it, if the imperial court does not send troops in time, in Anqing to play a good game of loss and recovery, tens of millions of family assets will be wasted with the monstrous Yangtze River.

After all, Anqing is the territory within the authority of Shi Kefa's patrol and dispatch, and he is mainly responsible for losing it, but it is his leading credit for defending it, but it is very different to play a trick and regain it, the responsibility for losing the land is indeed borne by Shi Kefa, and the credit for recovering the lost land really falls on the heads of the reinforcements.

Looking at the three forces of people in Nanjing City, the three towns of Jiangbei personally promoted by Zhang Fangyan, the three guards of Li Xin in Longtan, and the most powerful Wei Guogong, led the power of the military government to control the armies in the south of the Yangtze River. However, Wei Guogong is not something that anyone can see when they meet, not to mention that he is only a six-grade person, and it has always been bad to be an official in the matter, because this errand is to offend people.

He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he asked for a lot of ways but he touched a nose of ashes. Later, a colleague threaded the needle for him, and spent thousands of taels of silver to buy an authentic painting of Su Dongpo in the Northern Song Dynasty, in exchange for the opportunity to meet the little grandfather Xu Wenjue, the son of the Duke of Wei.

Don't look at this young grandfather Xu's military general's family, but he only likes literati calligraphy and painting, and the authentic handwriting of Su Dongpo sent by Jing Kedong really scratched his itch, and he heard that this person had an urgent matter to ask for, so he worked hard to meet him overnight.

Jing Kedong heard that Young Grandpa Xu was a brigadier overnight, and he thought that Little Grandpa was a kind person, and he was very grateful for a while.

"This is the case, Xia Guan just wants to ask the little grandfather for a word, when will the grandfather of the country send troops?"

After listening to Jing Kedong's words, Xu Wenjue actually laughed, and then said: "To tell Brother Jing the truth, the time when my father moved the army was a secret, and my brother would never reveal it." But also let Brother Jing rest assured, Anqing can't lose it, put your heart in your stomach! ”

Jing Kedong was naturally relieved when he saw the ambiguity of what Xu Wenjue said, and asked in a hurry: "Could it be that Wei Guogong is going to send troops in the next few days?" But he immediately realized that he had lost his words, and the little grandfather Xu had already said that he would not talk about the time when Wei Guogong sent troops, wouldn't it make him ugly to ask again? When he was anxious, Xu Wenjue slapped his head and suddenly smiled: "Blame me for this, I can't say it clearly." I am very close to Brother Jing, I might as well give you the truth, this Nanzhili has three soldiers and horses who are all staring at the credit of counterinsurgency, they are only idle in sending troops, how can there be a reason to be idle? ”

Xu Wenjue said the truth, but it was not what Jing Kedong wanted, he could also say these truths, Zhang Fangyan's Jiangbei military discipline was corrupt, and he had just made a decision about the main general, and his combat effectiveness must have been discounted again, and he was in a hurry to rush over, and the moths were not known to fight the fire. As for Longtan Li Xin, I heard that this person is not small, but that is just a rumor, and it is unknown how it actually is......
