Chapter 151 Peace Talk
On the second day, Li Xin gathered his soldiers and horses, took advantage of the opportunity of the heavy snowfall, and headed for Guihua City. Guihua City was seen by the third lady back then, and it had always been the springboard for the Mongols to contact the imperial court. It also became the center of the Tumed tribe. Unfortunately, the Tumed tribe that has been around Guihua City for hundreds of years has now become Li Xin's subordinate.

But after Yang Xiong got Li Xin's order, he quickly swung his army to Zhangjiakou. Tens of thousands of soldiers stretched for hundreds of miles.Hou Shilu and others who had just fled back to the Xuanfu were shocked three times a day. In desperation, they had to order people to strengthen the defense of Zhangjiakou and gather all the soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu in Zhangjiakou.

"Now Li Xin has approached Zhangjiakou, that is to say, Lin Danhan has failed." Hou Shilu walked up and down in the hall, sighing: "There is no power on the grassland that can stop him, so he dares to approach now." Zhangjiakou. The military situation is urgent, I don’t know what you guys think?” He glanced over, and dozens of generals in the hall lowered their heads one after another, only a few rich gentry in leather jackets by the corner still showed disdain color to.Hou Shilu narrowed his eyes, and finally moved his eyes away.These guys were Fan Yongdou and others from the eight great families of the Xuan Mansion. Li Xinbing was approaching the city, and these guys were the most afraid of them.In addition, the Xuanfu army still needs their food and grass, so this military meeting was also invited.

"Junmen, Li Xin is a rebellious person. Why don't we ask Governor Hong for advice. Now Governor Hong is in charge of military affairs on the three sides of Shaanxi. You can ask Governor Hong to deal with Li Xin." Someone stood up in the hall and said loudly.The governor Hong mentioned by this person refers to Hong Chengchou, but the governor of Shaanxi Sanbian is the name of the governor.The full title is "Governor of Shaanxi Trilateral Military Affairs".Ming Hongzhi ten years home.In the future, it may be set up or not, and it will be set up in the fourth year of Jiajing.At first it was called Admiral of Military Affairs, later it was renamed General System, and in 15 years it was renamed Governor.It was stationed in Guyuanzhou (now Guyuan, Ningxia), and it was stationed in Huamachi (now Yanchi, Ningxia) in autumn.It has jurisdiction over the four governors of Shaanxi, Yansui, Ningxia, and Gansu, and the three border towns of Yansui (Yulin), Ningxia, and Gansu, so it is called "Three Borders of Shaanxi".Later in the Qing Dynasty, there was a powerful name, that is, Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Nian Gengyao had held this position back then.Regardless of the fact that it is Hong Chengchou now.

"It's ridiculous." Hou Shilu glanced at the man, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Hong Chengchou supervises the three sides, and now the three sides are full of bandits, how do you let him come to my Xuanfu?" In fact, Hou Shilu doesn't like Hong Chengchou very much, or he is closer to Hong Chengchou's predecessor Yang He. Unfortunately, Yang He has a very sharp mouth, but he can't fight.In March of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Governor Yang He moved to Ningzhou.Yikui, the god of the peasant uprising army, asked Yang He to surrender, and the other leaders of the rebel army, Jin Chipeng, Guo Tianxing, One-headed Tiger, and Shangtianlong, also asked to surrender one after another.Yang He set up his throne on the city tower, and all the descendants knelt down and prayed for long live.Yang He proclaimed the edict and ordered him to make an oath.Then surrender or return to the army, or return to agriculture, and pardon their crimes.Yang He summoned him because Shen Yikui was the strongest, and declared an imperial edict to pardon him.More than [-] surrendered troops were ordered to station in Ningsai.Later, the surrendered rebels rebelled against the officials.It's all right now, because these guys rebelled again, and Yang He followed behind.In July, the rebels Li Laochai and Lone Wolf captured the central part.The imperial court once received a report from Yang He that "the Qingyang thieves will be appeased, and they will be dismissed." Later, they heard that the central part was trapped and could not attack for a long time.Yushi Xie Sanbin impeached Yang He for bullying the court.The inspector censor Wu Zhen verified the memorial and said: "The Crane Lord caresses the wrong country".Emperor Chongzhen was furious, and sent Yang He to prison in one breath, and asked Hong Chengchou, who had made great contributions to suppressing bandits, to deal with those bandits. At this time, letting Hong Chengchou deal with Li Xin meant that Hou Shilu was incompetent?
"It's just that, can't we let Li Xin be arrogant outside like this?" Cao Huachun's lips twitched, and he looked at Hou Shilu coldly. Yes, since the imperial court launched the matter of supervising the army by middle officials this year, there was another matter like Li Xin. Emperor Chongzhen thought Li Xin was very important, so he let him come.I thought it was an extremely simple matter, but when I got here, I realized that Li Xin is not so easy to deal with. If I had known, I would have let Wang Kun come.

"Junmen, father-in-law, the last general has a different opinion." At this time, a clear voice came, and everyone looked around, who is it if it's not Hou Gongji?
"Oh! Young Army Sect, I don't know what advice you have?" Cao Huachun's eyes lit up when he saw Hou Gongji, and his shrill voice rang out in the hall.

"Father-in-law, the general thought that the reason why Li Xin was killed in Zhangjiakou was to demonstrate on the one hand, so that we should not attack him in the future, and on the other hand? It was just to ask for something. To put it bluntly, it is revenge, revenge for our sending troops Deal with him." Hou Gongji cupped his hands and said: "Eunuch, the general thinks that Li Xin at this moment will not oppose the imperial court."

"Hmph, Li Xin is a strong soldier and a strong horse. He is a wolf in the first place. The major general said that this person will not oppose the imperial court. I don't agree with this old man." A cold and disdainful business came.

"Fan Yongdou, do you have the right to speak here?" Cao Huachun's eyes flickered coldly, and he said coldly, "If it weren't for your eight great families, how could the court have caused such a thing."

"Eunuch Cao, Li Xin dared to encircle Zhangjiakou with his troops. He was plotting rebellion and rebellion. Although this old man is just a grassroots, he would like to eat his flesh and hide his skin against this kind of rebel." Fan Yongdou said viciously.His old face twitched, and his eyes were full of viciousness.He couldn't help hating this Li Xin, if it wasn't for him, the current Eight Great Aristocratic Families wouldn't know how happy their lives are, but now that he's here, the grasslands are in chaos, even Lin Danhan has been defeated, it's okay He said that on the grasslands in the west, it will be up to Li Xin in the future. In addition to the relationship between Li Xin and the eight great families, I am afraid that the eight great families will not even be able to leave Zhangjiakou in the future.

"Li Xin is encircling Zhangjiakou? I don't know which eye Shopkeeper Fan saw. Li Xin's soldiers are just stationed outside Zhangjiakou. He is also an army of the imperial court. As the captain of Yao Yao, the entire grassland is his battlefield. Now he is stationing troops. There is no fault on the grassland." Hou Gongji sneered.

"You?" Fan Yongdou's complexion changed, but he was speechless.

"Okay. Let's come here today! You go back first." Cao Huachun glanced at everyone coldly, and finally his eyes fell on Hou Gongji. General, would you like to stay and talk with our family?"

"Elder-in-law shows love, the general will naturally be willing." Hou Gong said without even thinking about it.

"En." Cao Huachun nodded, without looking at the crowd, he walked towards the back house. Behind him, Hou Shilu, Hou Gongji and his son also entered the back house.

There are many pavilions and pavilions in the back house, under one pavilion, there is still a layer of mist on the water, so Cao Huachun chose a stone bench and sat down, while Hou Shilu and his son sat opposite.

After the maid served the fragrant tea, Cao Huachun took a sip and said: "Now our family and your father and son are grasshoppers on the same rope, and no one can escape. Say what you think, and the three of us will add up."

"Eunuch, do you think Li Xin will really rebel against the court and become a traitor? Does he have the strength?" Hou Gong asked cautiously.

"My Ming Dynasty has a territory of thousands of miles and millions of troops. What is Li Xin? Although he defeated Jiannu and Lin Danhan, he still has no ability to fight against the imperial court." Cao Huachun said without thinking.

"Li Xin defeated Jiannu in the past, and now he defeated Lin Danhan. This matter will soon spread throughout the government and the public. The people will definitely praise Li Xin. If Li Xin dares to rebel against the world at this time , must be cast aside by the world, and his father's first life's fame must be in vain. First, Li Xin will not rebel; For the tribe that does not obey orders, Li Xin is a Han Chinese, how can the people on the grassland let a Han Chinese be their leader, so there are many people who attack Li Xin, and although there are some people around Li Xin, don’t forget Well, fighting a war is not just about having a large number of people. There are also food, grass, and equipment. Where do these things come from? They still need to be transported from there. Therefore, Li Xin cannot do without the strong support of the Central Plains if he wants to gain a firm foothold on the grassland. If Li Xin rebels against the Central Plains, he will face a double attack, Li Xin is a smart person, how could he do such a thing? Therefore, Li Xin will definitely not rebel against the imperial court.",

"But why did Li Xin encircle Zhangjiakou with soldiers?" Cao Huachun nodded when he heard the words, but soon he realized it and shook his head again.

"Angry." Hou Gongji shook his head and said, "Although we are talking about attacking the Perak Mountain Villa and exterminating the evil wolves, Li Xin is not an idiot. We all know that the court is targeting Li Xin, so in this case, It is normal to do this kind of thing, but Li Xin still has a bottom line, so his soldiers and horses are only stationed outside Zhangjiakou, but not attacking, just stick to this bottom line." Cao Huachun and Hou Shilu looked at each other, In the end, there was only a long sigh.Hou Gongji was right. Li Xin had never done anything against the court, and the court was so peaceful in Liaodong because of Li Xin. But what did the court do to him?It's fine if you don't help, but you still come to attack him. This kind of thing is extremely dissatisfied in anyone's heart.

"Hmph, they are all those eight great families. If they hadn't caused trouble, how could the court have made such a decision, and Zhou Yanru is simply an incompetent person." Cao Huachun rolled his eyes and cursed viciously.

"It's just that, what should we do now?" Hou Shilu asked after thinking for a moment.

"Peace talks." Hou Gong said without even thinking about it.
