Near the Xiaoyu River, the Qin army under Sun Chuanting was stationed in a relatively gentle area, forming an angle with Hong Chengchou stationed in the Dayu River, and defending the northwest gate of the Beijing Division together.

With an iron horse galloping into the camp, the Qin army moved one after another, and began to reorganize the battle, and an undercurrent surged, and in the big tent, Sun Chuanting was even more dressed in velvet armor, and summoned the troops for the final mobilization.

"Generals, I just got the news that Changping is in an emergency, the rebel army is attacking the city, in order to ensure the safety of the Beijing division, we must immediately rush to Changping to support, otherwise, the Beijing division will be completely exposed to the iron hooves of the chaotic army, and there is no defense at all."

Chief soldier Chen Yongfu stood up and was the first to express his concerns, more like questioning.

"But, my lord, it's okay to rescue Changping, and it's also the duty of a minister. However, as the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the soldiers have not eaten enough for several days, and the people's hearts are already unstable, and if they are forced to go to the front now, I am afraid it will only be counterproductive. ”

Hu Dawei followed closely and said it more directly.

"My lord, if it is to rescue Changping, the last general will have no objection, even if he dies on the battlefield, he will not complain. But, my lord, have you forgotten that the official army fought with the Qing army a few days ago? ”

Speaking of this, Hu Dawei paused, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, but in the end he resolutely continued: "Everyone knows very well in their hearts that the battle with the Qing army a few days ago is responsible for Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, not General Lu. ”

There was a buzz in the big tent, the atmosphere was so strange, Zuo Guangxian also said bluntly: "My lord, if you have to support Changping, it's okay if you win, you can have no merit, however, if the rescue is not timely, or Changping has fallen, it is difficult to guarantee that the eunuch will not put all the responsibility on us." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was no less than the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, and all the generals present knew that Lu Xiangsheng fought bravely to kill the enemy and died on the battlefield, but in the end he ended up fleeing from the battle, and was stigmatized, and his chief Yang Tinglin was even more belittled.

Although he has the heart to serve the country, what the king does is chilling!

Capable officials are not only suppressed by those eunuchs, but if there is an omission, it must be a serious crime. On the other hand, those flattering people, such as Gao Qiqian, Cao Huachun and others, even if they have been defeated many times and lost several cities, they are still high-ranking officials and are entrusted with heavy use.

Obviously, just as Zuo Guangxian meant, it is difficult to guarantee that everyone will not become the second Lu Xiangsheng and become scapegoats?

"Okay, since you don't want to go, then I will take the Qin army to Changping alone to provide support."

When he said this, Sun Chuanting knew in his heart that these general soldiers under his control were already ready to move, and if they didn't listen to orders, they couldn't command at all, even if they wanted to kill one or two, to make an example of chickens and monkeys, but they were also powerless, and they would only push them into chaos.

However, as soon as Sun Chuanting's words fell, he was ready to calm down Changping and then come back to clean up these generals who had wavered, but one of the subordinate generals stood up and commanded the right-hand man of the Qin army.

"My lord, since the imperial court has long been decayed, there is no need for it to exist, why don't we overthrow it and directly defect to the Li family army to establish a new order."

Many people were dumbfounded, and Sun Chuanting was even more shocked, his eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, pointed directly at the person who spoke, and said tremblingly: "Li Laiheng, what are you talking about?" ”

The person who spoke did not respond to Sun Chuanting, but paced to the center of the field, while rotating his body, he was also scanning everyone, always with a faint smile on his face, and his eyes finally fell on Sun Chuanting's body, and then he said slowly: "Lord Sun, the Ming people don't say dark words, I, Li Laiheng, am the righteous son of Li Guo, the general of the Li family's army, and led the crowd to lurk in the Qin army, just for this day today." So, Lord Sun, don't expect to be able to mobilize the Qin army. ”

After saying a word, Li Laiheng didn't pay attention to Sun Chuanting, who was angry, but looked at everyone, the whole person looked very free and easy, and continued loudly: "Generals, the Ming court is already a building that will fall, and the Beijing division will be conquered in a few days, why bother to bury such a decadent court?" ”

No one expressed his position, but he did not make drastic moves, and Li Laiheng added another fire.

"I might as well reveal a little more to you, not only did King Chuang take Xuanfu and Changping, but our Li family army also killed 100,000 Qing troops, with nearly a million troops around this Gyeonggi land, and it is showing a trend of encirclement, gradually surrounding this imperial city."

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and one wave is higher than the other.

If it is said that there is still the possibility of a war when the rebel army attacks Changping, but as soon as they heard that the Li Jiajun had killed 100,000 Qing troops and that nearly a million troops were approaching the capital, the hearts of these people were full of despair, and they could not give birth to the slightest resistance.

Not to mention that they can't even think of killing 100,000 Qing troops, even a million chaotic troops are not something they can fight against.

What's more, today's imperial court has long been in decline, people's hearts are fluctuating, there are wars everywhere, the army's morale is unstable, and the army has almost no combat effectiveness.

Otherwise, the few 100,000 Qing troops would not dare to go deep into the pass alone, and act recklessly around this Beijing division, plundering and slaughtering at will.

Even if he knew this, Sun Chuanting still said in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible, even if the Li family army can really confront the Tartars head-on and kill them, but when the army of nearly a million enters the vicinity of Shuntian Mansion, it is impossible for the imperial court not to get a little news." ”

"Hehe... I guess many of you have this idea, right? Li Laiheng smiled freely, glanced at Sun Chuanting, and continued to answer the question: "Lord Sun, let's not talk about why the imperial court hasn't gotten the news yet, just one point, I think you should know that Shaanxi and Henan have fallen into the hands of our Li Jiajun, here, I might as well tell you a little more, the whole of Shanxi is also under our control." ”

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Sun Chuanting's expression became gloomy, and he did not continue to ask, but wailed: "Traitors and eunuchs have misled the country~!" ”

At this moment, those hesitant generals seemed to have thought of something, and their faces showed a sudden expression, and some people couldn't help but mutter: "Hey... The blockade of the news, although it stabilized the hearts of the people and avoided the chaos in the capital, but also made the news blocked, no wonder the Li Jiajun hit Changping, and only got the news here. ”

"Oooh... No, no, that's just one of the reasons. Li Laiheng interjected, and Shi pointed out that in front of everyone, he shook again and again, still laughing, and continued: "The other most important reason is that our Li family army has planted a large number of secret posts on various key roads to intercept those cavalry who report the news. ”

Li Laiheng's voice paused again, slowly glanced at everyone, his expression was narrow, and he said sincerely: "The reason why I say so much is that I want you to think about it carefully, so that you can abandon the darkness and join my Li family's army, drive out the Tartars, restore the past glory of my Han rivers and mountains, and save the common people from the suffering of war." ”

The people present are all veterans who have been in battle for a long time, although not everyone is as good as an old fox, but they are also mature people, before the situation is clear, how can they easily express their position?

"Someone! Invite Master Sun to the prepared tent and let him rest for two days. ”

Li Laiheng beckoned outside, and after giving an order, he turned to look at everyone, with a deep expression on his face, and he didn't mean to force everyone.
