"Drive the Tartars back into Changbai Mountain, and then what? You led your troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress? Yuan Chonghuan, if that's the case, your son can wear filial piety for you. The old husbands of Juniper and Liu Ting have seen it back then. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a tiger general, and his sergeants are all capable of fighting. It is good to fight the Japanese in Korea and the Mongols on the northern border.

But how? In the battle of Jilin Cliff, Juniper's entire army was destroyed. Abu Darigan, Liu Ting's head is different.

The Jurchens were originally a fishing and hunting people, and the mountains and old forests were their homes. And there thou shalt fight against them, and thou shalt not die to the death? Our strength lies in the sharpness of the artillery, and close combat is not the strength of our army, can you beat the Tartars in the old woods? I said let your son give you filial piety, are you still unwilling? "Sun Chengzong made his debut in the Wanli years, and now he is qualified to be the first assistant in the imperial court. Don't want to be old, and now reprimanding Yuan Chonghuan in front of everyone, this guy can only listen to it with his head down.

"Uh......! What Master Yuan means is to rush back to Changbai Mountain and let the Tartars continue to fish and hunt, let's ......! "Mao Wenlong habitually started and dilute the mud.

"Drive them back into the woods, and you expect the fishy cat not to eat the fish? Run out today to rob you of a caravan, and tomorrow run out to slaughter your village. Our army has wings and can fly, and it still has the ability to shrink the ground into inches. When you get to the scene of the incident, you'll be able to work as a corpse collection team.

Don't tell me that you want to use a large army to surround Changbai Mountain, Li Chengliang can't do it. Even the combined water army is only more than 20,000 people. Sprinkle a layer of pepper noodles on the border, waiting for people to break through? ”

At this time, everyone stopped talking, and Sun Chengzong was right. If the Jurchens really withdrew to Changbai Mountain, it would actually be the beginning of a protracted war. God knows when this battle will be fought.

"Then look at the Tartars occupying Shenyang like this, Liaoyang?" Li Hu muttered quietly on the side.

"You don't have to talk, get out!" Li Xiao drank a snort, and Li Hu grabbed his neck to go out.

"Boy, you're back." Sun Chengzong called Li Hu back again.

"Boy, I know what you're thinking. Think I'm old, timid and scared. But do you know how many people in the court hate your brother for not dying. The impeachment of your brother has never been broken, and now the emperor is carrying your brother to death, why?

It's not because of Shenyang, Liaoyang is in the hands of the Tatars. The emperor was afraid that he would kill your brother, and one day the Tartar soldiers came to the city of Beijing.

But if the Tartars are beaten back to Changbai Mountain, will the emperor still protect your brother? This army raised by your brother is said to be from the imperial court. But even the blind can see that this is your brother's own. Do you think the emperor is not suspicious? Without the threat of the Tartars, will the emperor tolerate your Li family's private army?

Huzi, you still don't understand these things in the court. You dare to recover Liaoyang and Shenyang today, and in less than a year, everyone here will wash their necks and wait for death. Sun Chengzong's last cold words, Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, and including Yuan Chonghuan's faces changed.

Their bodies have been firmly branded with Li Xiao, and they will never be washed in this life. The imperial court wants to clean up Li Xiao, and none of them can escape.

"Mr. Sun, Huzi is young, don't be surprised."

"Brother Xiao! If the old man guessed correctly, the angel is already on the way. Tomorrow at the latest, you will receive the will of the imperial court. Let you take the troops to recover Liaoyang and Shenyang. ”

"I am the governor of Shandong, which is not in harmony with the etiquette system."

"They still care about those, and get rid of the Tartars earlier. Kill you earlier, Qian Qianyi and those people can't wait. The emperor doesn't want you to be big, and you can't get off the tail. The old man hurried over from Shandong, just because he was afraid that you would not be able to hold his breath. Once you really enter the army, the old man has no doubt that you can take Liaoyang and Shenyang. And at a small price! But that's too much for you. Sun Chengzong sighed, he has been immersed in officialdom for more than ten years, and he has seen too many intrigues and tricks here.

Qian Qianyi is a kindergarten level.

None of the people in the room spoke, and what Sun Chengzong said just now obviously shocked everyone. are all warriors who fight for their lives on the battlefield, who has the crooked intestines of civil officials. Before Sun Chengzong came, the big guys all had the same idea as Yuan Chonghuan. For generals, fighting a war is the only way to realize the value of life. If you want an official position, wealth, and power, a woman has to rely on fighting to win.

When Sun Chengzong said this, the big guy was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that a war could also be killed by the emperor, and there was a long silence in the room, and no one spoke.

The steam of the hot pot was warm, but everyone's hearts felt very cold. In such a court, is there still a way for military generals to live?

Li Xiao picked up a piece of mutton and soaked it in the pot. Dip it in sesame sauce and eat it in your mouth, I worked a little too hard with Tokugawa Chihime last night, and now I have some lamb to make up for it. Forget about the shrimp balls, I'm about to vomit when I eat shrimp. Now Li Xiao can't raise any interest in seafood at all, if the big elbow can come to one, it would be the best.

Seeing that Li Xiao didn't care, everyone could only eat and drink together.

Sun Chengzong nodded, it is really rare for a twenty-year-old young man to have such a bearing.

"Brother Xiao! What do you do if the decree comes down? Mao Wenlong sat next to Li Xiao, and when he saw Li Xiao eating sweetly, he asked in a low voice.

"Send troops! Is it possible to disobey the holy decree! Li Xiao said indifferently.

Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at Li Xiao blankly, Sun Chengzong understood what he said just now. The consequences of this dispatch ......! It's not if you win, it's not if you lose.

"If you send troops, you must have food and salary, and Master Mao must calculate carefully. How much does it cost us to send a soldier, how much does it cost to fight! What is fetched is money, food, bullets, and shells, which are also counted. The emperor can't send hungry soldiers, and we will send troops as soon as the food and salary arrive. Li Xiao said to himself while soaking the mutton.

"I know, you want to get a large amount of money and food, and force the court not to let us send troops. But what if the court gritted its teeth and took out this silver? Mao Wenlong kindly reminded Li Xiao that he must not underestimate the adults in the court, as well as the emperor's determination to kill the Tartars.

"Take out the food, then we will naturally send troops. But who can say that if you send troops, you will definitely be able to win? The Tartar soldiers are so easy to fight, how did Shenyang lose it, and how did Liaoyang lose it? Isn't it just to live in the wild for two or three months, and then use it as a field training. Li Xiao said it lightly, and the people next to him were dumbfounded, is this okay?

"I said, Brother Xiao, you're too childish. The imperial court has taken so much food and salary, can it not send a supervising army? When the time comes, what can I do? After Mao Wenlong came to his senses, he was a little angry. I thought Li Xiao had some great idea, but it turned out to be such an unreliable idea.

"There are still fewer recitals to sue me, and the emperor is not doing well. If they are willing to send an overseer, then send an overseer. The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, how can there be a quasi-child on the battlefield. If we are killed by a stray bullet, we are not to blame. Even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes to the battlefield in person, we can't stop the bullet is not ......! If you are greeted by a cannonball, it will be simple. Wrap a bag of dirt, and say that the overseer will turn into a ball of spring mud! ”

This time, Mao Wenlong was completely speechless, and Li Xiao's words were clear. Send the prison army to listen to the greetings, then hello, I am hello, everyone celebrates the New Year. It is not a big deal to swallow the money and grain of the imperial court, and give out some benefits.

If you don't listen to the greeting, it would be good, the Houjin cavalry is coming. The Warden unfortunately won the lottery and was surrounded by thousands of Tartar soldiers. The besieged prison army showed heroic patriotism, resolutely resisted and refused to surrender, and was chopped into meat and dumplings by the murderous Tartar soldiers. This kind of loyal patriotic warrior needs to be rewarded by the imperial court!

Vicious! It's not your average ruthlessness!

Eat people without spitting out bones! This kid isn't even going to leave a whole corpse for anyone!

This kid is a fucking wolf!

Mao Wenlong decided not to discuss the problem with this kid again, and lost his life!

"Hmm!" Sun Chengzong nodded with satisfaction, this kid is indeed thick and black enough. The three stunts of being black-hearted, thick-skinned, shameless, and being an official are self-taught, and this kid is a good billet.

After listening to Li Xiao's words, everyone was relieved. After a busy night's work, I was exhausted. After eating a full meal of mutton shabu, everyone returned to their mansions to rest. If Sun Chengzong guessed correctly, the emperor's Qincha should have been on the way at this time. In a few days, even if you want to rest, I am afraid that you will not have that time.

This nap, Li Xiao slept all over sweat. There are so many things in my head that I have strange dreams that I have in my head. For a while, it was Nurhachi who came to drink with him, and then Chongzhen came to chat with him, and after talking for a long time, he found that the person who was carrying the knife was carrying a knife in his hand.

Zhu Youxiao was much simpler, patting himself on the shoulder as if the leader was talking to his subordinates. Encourage yourself to work hard, don't delay your youth. When holding his head in both hands, Cui Chengxiu, the elder tongue sticks out. When the Hakka with half of his face full of skeletons and the ragdoll-like Wei Zhongxian came to visit, Li Xiao woke up all of a sudden.

Those few will meet as soon as they meet, and your brothers will not accompany them.

Looking at the stunned look on the roof, it seems that all the dreams are dead people. There is only one living ......, what does that mean?

The time of being stunned was a little long, and when the bladder really couldn't stand it, Li Xiao turned over and jumped out of bed. Turn behind the screen and spray at the night pot.

The memory was released, and I shivered. When she returned to bed, Tokugawa Chiki had already brought her brand-new clothes. It's really fucking good to have a woman waiting, and the roast chicken is a killer, counting on him to take care of people. He can take care of you directly in the Netherworld!

Wearing loose clothes, Li Xiao felt very comfortable. Silk clothes are not good at all, and they always feel like they are sliding down their shoulders. Li Xiao tightened his front placket, in case it really slipped out, it would be a lot of fun. Li Xiao himself thinks that he is still not as thick as Li Hu's skin.

"Mr. Sun came, and the second master accompanied him to drink tea for a while. Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I dare not call you. "Tokugawa Chihime speaks Chinese well, but the root of her tongue is still a little hard. Sounds a little awkward!

"Oh! Got it! Li Xiao originally planned to invite Sun Chengzong over in the evening, but this old guy came first.

Out of the back house and went straight to the hall, in the living room, Li Xiu was talking with Sun Chengzong. One is a sincere teaching, and the other is a humble learner.

"I asked the kitchen to make a few good dishes, and Mr. Sun ate here tonight. I just fell asleep and missed the hour to keep you waiting. Li Xiao walked in and saluted Sun Chengzong. An old fox of this level requires extreme respect.

"When a young man is asleep, let him sleep well. Don't be like an old man, it's only two or three hours a day. Many times I wake up in the middle of the night, and it is a glance until dawn. Sun Chengzong shook his head helplessly. At this age, the most envied is youth.

"Big brother, I'll arrange a banquet." Seeing Li Xiao coming in, Li Xiu prepared to slip away. Just choked by this old guy's chatter, Li Hu turned around the door, poked his head out and ran away.

"You don't have to arrange that matter personally, just sit and talk to us." Li Xiao shouted to Li Xiu and didn't let him go.

"Huh! You kid say, if there is something to help the old man do. ”

"You guessed?"

"Your boy only spoke half of his speech at noon, and you don't know it as an old man. Send troops to Liaoyang, you dare to withdraw at will without a holy decree? Is it possible, is it really impossible to fight under Liaoyang City? ”

"This is exactly what the kid wants to say, he wants to withdraw from Liaoyang. First, Huang Taiji cooperated with us and didn't really fight. Everyone put guns in front of the sky, hello, hello, everyone, New Year. Second, Shandong has to do something. If there is a big thing that I have to go back, I can handle it here in Liaodong. On the Shandong side, it depends on your arrangement, Mr. Sun. ”

"Boy, raising one's own dignity is not necessarily the same as collaborating with the enemy. You ...... doing that! Sun Chengzong frowned, he has a bottom line in life.

"In the end, the problems of the Jurchens have to be solved by themselves. Li Yongfang has already sent back the news, and I didn't say anything about it at noon. Nurhachi's death this time was actually a coup d'état.

Huang Taiji united Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan, and they designed to kill Nurhachi. Under the pretense of Nurhachi's death, he killed Dorgon's mother. The events of that night were very carefully extinguished, and several Baylors present were unable to extinguish their mouths because of identity issues. Whoever could be killed was killed, so the Dorgon brothers didn't know the news yet.

We just need to wait for the right time to spread the news. Houjin is going to be a mess, you're right. If Houjin withdraws to Hetuala, it will definitely be a disaster for us. But they kill each other, it's different. Their own people know their own people best, and if they want the Jurchens to truly lose the threat, they have to rely on themselves to defeat themselves. ”

"Then why not ...... now!"

"Now it's just a feud between the Dorgon brothers, and now the two yellow flags have become two white flags. The treatment of the flagmen will be much worse, and it will be a good time to wait until the flagmen are really hostile.

You can rest assured that the Emperor Taiji and they will definitely find a way to weaken Dorgon. Under strong suppression, it is very difficult not to make enemies. ”

"What's on your mind? You can think of such a vicious method, and I really convinced you. But you're right, there needs to be a process for the resentment from the top to be transmitted downward. It's not appropriate to put the news out at this time! And let them consume first, the seeds of hatred are planted, and it is always easy to take root and sprout.

Tomorrow the old man will go back to Shandong, and I will try my best to create a reason why you have to go back......"

"Big brother! The emperor's envoy came, and he asked you to take the decree outside the door. Before Sun Chengzong's words were finished, Li Hu ran in.
