Chapter 1256 Leave
However, when he heard about Ma Fang, his heart tightened.Of course he knew how powerful Ma Fang was. Compared with the Japanese pirates in the south, they were not at the same level as the Tartars in the north.If he rebelled against Ma Fang, he might not be able to gain an advantage.

In fact, he may not be able to gain the upper hand. He is the one who puts gold on his face. He knows very well in his heart that his war against the Japanese pirates these years is really not a big battle.And Ma Fang was the big battle.Hundreds of thousands of troops face each other at every turn, that's a handsome talent.He, Hu Zongxian, had never commanded this kind of battle and had no experience in this field.And his subordinates have no experience in this area, so they are weak.

Moreover, he knew in his heart that Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang were definitely Daming's diehard loyalists. Once he rebelled, these two people would definitely not follow him.The only thing I can do is to kill Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang.But if these two people are killed, the combat power of these two armies will be greatly reduced.

"Alas..." Hu Zongxian couldn't help but sighed and said, "No, you should know about my brother's current situation, right?"

"I know!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Xu Jie said privately that he has a grudge with you. After all, you unilaterally tore up the cooperation agreement with Xu Jie. On the public side, after the Japanese pirates were wiped out, your brother really Thirdly, Xu Jie's current situation is not easy, and he also needs to use you to build his prestige. The other cabinet has no enmity with you in private, but he can't see you in public. For your various mistakes, and the evidence is conclusive, he hates a warlord like you, so he must have maintained a tacit understanding with Xu Jie to target you."

Hu Zongxian's face showed hostility and he said: "I, Hu Zongxian, have worked so hard to exterminate the Japanese pirates. Could it be that all of this is the way to die?"

"Actually, things are not that complicated!" Luo Xin sighed lightly, "The Japanese pirates have been wiped out, and His Majesty once called you back to the court, but you refused. It was you who made you fall into this position field."

"But when I went back at that time, it was just put on the shelf."

"But you don't even have a chance to put it on the shelf now."

Luo Xin didn't fool Hu Zongxian either, and he couldn't fool a person like this, so Luo Xin simply told the truth.If Hu Zongxian really turned against him, he would not be afraid.One-on-one with Hu Zongxian, Hu Zongxian is really not his opponent. If Hu Zongxian greets his men, he will not have no men, and besides the diehard Hu Zongxian cultivated with his heart, the rest of the soldiers may not dare to suddenly, without any thought If you are ready, dare to attack Luo Xin.

Hu Zongxian was silent, and said for a while: "Am I a dead end?"

"Eighty percent!" Luo Xin sighed.

"No chance?" Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Xin straightly.

"If I help you, it's [-]-[-]. However, the best result is your decent retirement."

After thinking for a while, Luo Xin let go and said, "You have two ways to go now, one is to rebel. The result is certain death. There are two factors. One factor is me. As long as I am around, you will never be able to The rebellion was successful. And if you want to kill or detain me right away, the chances of success are [-] to [-], because you are in a hurry and lack of preparation, so you may not be able to kill me or detain me. And maybe I will climb up and shout , instead arrested you. You also know my reputation in the southeast, especially in the army."

Hu Zongxian remained silent, and Luo Xin continued: "Another factor is that even if you kill me, with Ma Fang around, the possibility of your final success is only [-]%. To be honest, whether it is the strength of the army or You are not as good as Ma Fang in the commanding ability of the large army. Therefore, the result of your rebellion must be failure. It will not be you who will die at that time, but the nine clans will be killed."

Pain appeared on Hu Zongxian's face. He could die, but it was unacceptable for Hu Zongxian to let the whole family lose their lives.Seeing Hu Zongxian's painful expression, Luo Xin also sighed, and continued:

"The other way is for me to go back and work for you so that you can retire decently. Of course, I can't guarantee it, but I'm at least [-]% sure."

Hu Zongxian pondered for a moment and said: "No, I won't hide it from you. The two of us are friends who died in the flames of war. I really don't accept it. I made such a contribution to Daming, but I didn't expect to end up like this. So, I'm going to think about it."

Speaking of this, he looked at Luo Dao with a burning gaze: "To be honest, we two really feel sorry for each other. With the credit you Luo Xin has made, it is not an exaggeration to be named Duke. But now you are just a second-class marquis. .And you have just been promoted to the Minister of Rituals of the third rank. Now you are being roasted on the fire again, no matter, are you really willing? If the two of us join hands..."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "I don't want to talk about this. You can think about it, and I won't reveal a word of what you and I said today. And after I go back, I will still run around for you. If I can let you retire decently, I will The friendship between the two of us is not in vain. Moreover, once King Yu ascends the throne, you may not have the opportunity to become an official again.

As long as you haven't rebelled, I'll keep running around for you.However, once you rebel, I will not show mercy, and I will definitely defeat you in the shortest possible time and bring you back to the capital.That's all for now, let's say goodbye. "

"I send you!"

Hu Zongxian sent Luo Xin to the gate, clasped his fists at Luo Xin and said:

"No, anyway, thank you brother."

"My brother is gone. I won't advise you how to go. You can decide for yourself."

Luo Xin got on his horse, took Hu Zongxian's transfer order, and headed towards Qi Jiguang's camp.Without staying in Qi Jiguang's camp, he immediately left Suzhou with Qi Jiguang's three thousand cavalry and galloped towards Guangzhou.

Walking to Guangdong, it didn't snow.The temperature was also just right, neither too hot nor too cold. They traveled five hundred miles in one afternoon, and then set up camp at dusk.

Qi Jiguang and Luo Xin sat in the same tent, Qi Jiguang said in a concentrated voice: "My lord, we will be able to arrive at Huang County tomorrow evening, but we are all cavalry, and attacking cities is not our forte."

"Don't worry!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "This time I specially made some explosive packs. When the time comes, we will blow open the city gate and just rush in."

"My lord!" Qi Jiguang asked a little strangely: "You said that the north was hit by a snowstorm, but the south was not. Even if the life of the guard is a little bit harder, it can be regarded as going on. Why do you want to rebel?"

"It's because they can live on!" Luo Xin sighed and said, "In terms of abolishing the guards, relatively speaking, the north is much easier than the south. Because in the past four years, the north has been successively destroyed by Alatan. Khan and Huang Taiji fought twice in the capital, and these two times they slaughtered a large number of northerners, and the northerners can be said to be almost empty..."
