Chapter 297

"Li Xin is still in Liaodong now?" In Jinzhou City, Zu Dashou looked at the information in his hand and asked Zu Zerun who was on the side without knowing what he was thinking.

"It should still be in Liaodong, but there is no news of building slaves by the Daling River. Maybe Huang Taiji led the army back to Shengjing." Zu Zerun showed a trace of unwillingness on his face. I was shocked three times a day, but after a period of time, I found that Huang Taiji had never used troops against Jinzhou City, and even found out that Huang Taiji was so mobilizing the troops, and he came for Li Xin.As Li Xin's enemy, Zu Zerun was still excited for a long time, but unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, Huang Taiji left Dalinghe City, that is to say, if Li Xin did not die, he would be able to pass through this place safely , Back to Guihua City.Seeing that such a good opportunity was wasted, Zu Zerun was very unwilling.

"Lin Dan Khan gathered an army of tens of thousands of people. Almost all the tribes on the grassland came out in full force, and the troops were divided into three groups. Horqin and other tribes led 3 cavalry and fought from the west. Chahar cavalry 8 went out from the middle. , and Lin Dan Khan led an army of [-] people, and directly attacked Guihua City with great momentum. Wherever the soldiers and horses went, some small tribes joined them." Zu Dashou walked up and down in the hall and said: "Guihua Although Shi Yuanzhi sits in the city, but Li Xin is not in Guihua City, it is almost impossible to unify the command."

"Father, this is Li Xin's business, why should we worry about it?" Zu Zerun gloated.

"Nonsense, Guihua City is now the court's place, and Li Xin was conferred the title of Marquis of Zhengbei by the emperor, and he is also a member of the court." Zu Dashou looked at his son dissatisfied, and said, "What's more, you thought Lin Dan Khan really defeated Li Xin, captured Guihua City, and his strength increased greatly. Will he be satisfied to be the lord of the grassland? He will also go south to the Central Plains like Donglu, and there will be two powerful people in the Central Plains. enemy."

"Father, I don't know if the court has any plans to succeed?" Zu Zerun rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, there are only so many soldiers in Jinzhou City. After expanding the army, it is only [-] cavalry. There are some problems in defense, let alone It's an attack. Our biggest enemy in Jinzhou is Donglu, since Li Xin has been conferred the title of Marquis of Zhengbei, let him resist Lin Danhan."

"In the court, even if the emperor wants to rescue Li Xin, I'm afraid those ministers will not support it." Zu Dashou said disdainfully: "It's good if these people don't use knives behind their backs. Hey, this is a good opportunity to subdue Li Xin." The opportunity to believe. Although I also hate Li Xin, I have to admit that with Li Xin around, Jiannu would not dare to go south. Our pressure will be much less, hey, this person appeared too late, otherwise , Yuan Dushi will not be beheaded because of ineffective rescue."

"Father, do you think Li Xin will know the news?" Zu Zerun suddenly thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face. Of course, he couldn't stab Li Xin in the back, but if Li Xin didn't know about it, he would lose He also likes to see him leave his lair.

"Don't underestimate Li Xin. Li Xin's ability to create such a foundation is enough to show how powerful he is." Zu Dashou glanced at his own life dissatisfied, and said, "You thought Li Xin could travel thousands of miles across the Central Plains, really? Is he so lucky? He is not familiar with the place in the Central Plains. If something goes wrong, he will not be Zheng Beihou now, and I am afraid that he will report to Lord Yan long ago. Let me tell you, Shanxi merchants are now doing it for him What about doing things? We can get news on our side, and he can also get news on his side."

"Report, general, a large ship appeared on the sea." At this time, there were soldiers outside the door reporting loudly.

Zu Dashou was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he seemed to think of something, and said to Zu Zerun: "Quickly, prepare presents, let's go to Dalinghe."

"Father, why did you go to Daling River?" Zu Zerun hadn't thought of it yet.

"Li Xin is here." Zu Dashou said without thinking: "At this time, Li Xin is the only one who appears by the Daling River. Let's go see him."

"To see Li Xin?" Zu Zerun opened his eyes wide, not understanding why Zu Dashou wanted to see Li Xin at this time.You must know that the Guan Ning army is not interested in Li Xin.

"What do you know? Now that Li Xin has appeared here, Lin Danhan will not succeed. In the future, the grassland can only be Li Xin and Donglu. The Guan Ning Army is just surviving in the cracks. Li Xin is a compatriot, so we may not need Li Xin to support us in the future." Zu Dashou gave his son a dissatisfied look, and said: "Just relying on the Guanning Army will not be able to contain Liaodong. We need Li Xin. Don't forget Well, to be more thorough, Li Xin once saved our Guan Ning army. Hurry up and go." Zu Zerun didn't dare to answer, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a gift without mentioning it.

By the sea, Li Xin's boat took advantage of the high tide to land on the shore, and the army successively landed on the shore.This time following Li Xin to Guihua City, not only Dong Xiaowan's mother and daughter, Liu Rushi, Xiao Yu and Dayu'er, Zhang Wu, Shang Kexi and others followed closely behind, Zhao Guang and Huang Long stationed in Dongjiang Town.

"Mr. Huang, I will hand over Dongjiang Town to you in the future." Li Xin patted Huang Long's shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, the general may not be able to fight in the end, but it is still possible to assist General Zhao Guang." Huang Long's voice was hoarse. He was feeling unwell in winter, and this time he rushed over in person to send Li Xin off.

"My lord, there are cavalry in the distance. There are about a hundred of them." Ye Bushou, who came ashore first, came galloping.

"Lord Hou, I'm afraid it's Zu Dashou who is here." Huang Long looked at Li Xin cautiously. The matter between Li Xin and Zu Dashou was known to everyone in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but they didn't know that Zu Dashou was coming at this time. What is the so-called.

"En." Li Xin nodded, looked up, and found that there were more than a hundred cavalry galloping in the distance, and the leader's banner was written with the word "Zu", presumably Zu Dashou came in person.Just don't know what he's doing here.Li Xin thought about it, and went up to meet him.The two armies stopped within a few dozen steps.

"Zhichong is a bullfighter, and he is so angry that he is a hero among men. He can achieve such a big name at a young age." Zu Dashou looked at Li Xin's appearance and couldn't help sighing.Seeing Li Xin coming, he quickly got off his horse, cupped his hands and said, "The last general's birthday, I have met the Marquis of Zhengbei." His expression was extremely respectful, which made Li Xin a little embarrassed.

"General Zu." Seeing Zu Dashou being treated so courteously, Li Xin was curious, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that Zu Dashou was worthy of standing in Liaodong for more than ten years.Immediately also jumped off the horse to meet him.

"It's my great fortune that Lord Hou escaped danger and returned safely. I will congratulate Lord Hou at the end." Seeing Li Xin dismounting, Zu Dashou felt a lot more relieved.

"It's all thanks to the emperor Hongfu." Li Xin also said a scene, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but General Zu's complexion has improved a lot." To be honest, Li Xin's impression of Zu Dashou is also average.

"Master Hou, I heard that you are going to pass through Liaodong, and the last general didn't prepare anything, but just prepared some things, please accept it with a smile, Lord Hou." The ancestor Dashou glanced at Li Xin's entourage, secretly shocked in his heart, but his face was full of surprise. He was full of smiles and waved his hands back, only to see a few soldiers approaching carrying two boxes.

"I didn't expect to get a lot from Huang Taiji this time, and I got a lot from General Zu this time. From now on, I, Li Xin, will look around." Li Xin laughed loudly.

"Oh, Lord Hou, I don't know what Huang Taiji gave to Lord Hou?" After hearing this, Zu Zerun, who followed his father, laughed in his heart, maybe you, Li Xin, were driven out by Huang Taiji, and you are so shameless , It's really shameless.

"Major General, Lord Marquis personally commanded an army to break into Jiannu's lair, destroy Fuling, and obtain the coffin of Nurhachi, an old thief from the enemy chieftain. Huang Taiji had no choice but to redeem 3 taels of gold, [-] high-quality war horses, and [-] stones of grain. Old Khan's coffin." Huang Long laughed loudly.

"Ah! The coffin of the old thief." Because of the news, Zu Dashou and his son didn't know Li Xin's prestige. Hearing Huang Long say it at this time, he was extremely shocked.

"More than that, General Zu, have you seen that woman?" Shang Kexi on the side was also complacent, pointing to one of the many female relatives, wearing a Mongolian costume. From the exposed skin, it can be seen that this woman is also a rare beauty. Shang Kexi said: "He is the concubine Zhuang who built slave Huang Taiji, and now he has been taken into the back house by my Lord Hou. Haha! Happy!" Shang Kexi didn't turn to Jiannu at this time, he was still a soldier of Ming Dynasty, and he won the battle with Li Xin, so he was naturally extremely proud.

It's just that the father and son of the grandfather's family next to them opened their eyes wide, looking at everything in front of them. If Huang Taiji's compensation had shocked everyone, the concubine Zhuang in front of him was even more surprising.Although they didn't believe what Shang Kexi said was true, concubine Zhuang's temperament was not something ordinary people could pretend.

"Hehe, my lord also severely damaged Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner, allowing Dorgon to escape alone. Hehe, the current Huang Taiji not only lost his army, but also lost his wife and lost his army. It's really funny." Zhang Wu said. One side also laughed.

"Master Hou is so brave, the general admires it." Zu Dashou finally sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Only Lord Hou can achieve such a feat."

"Haha, General Zu is being polite." Li Xin also laughed, and said, "Although Li Xin has made some small achievements, but with General Zu who has been stationed at the border for more than ten years to protect our country, Li Xin is still far behind."

"Master Hou, Lin Danhan's 10,000+ army is besieging the Yanhuang Tribe, and the general will not leave Lord Hou here. You should hurry up and get on the road!" After hearing what Li Xin said, Zu Dashou was also moved in his heart. A little estrangement disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Lin Danhan is just a small person. After this war, I am afraid that there will be no more Lin Danhan." Li Xin laughed loudly and said, "General Zu, I am very happy that you can come here to welcome me Li Xin. But , I’m afraid the general won’t be able to stay here recently.”

"Master Hou, although the imperial court has not yet issued an order, if Master Hou has an order, Zu Dashou will definitely do it if he can." Hearing this, Zu Dashou hurriedly patted his chest and said.

"General Zu, according to my guess, Lin Dan Khan's commanding the army to attack our Yanhuang tribe this time is also the last prestige of his golden family. Although the grassland is very big, it can't accommodate too many people. Huang Taiji was in my hands just now. After suffering a big loss, he will not let go of any opportunity to help him regain his prestige. Although Jinzhou has few troops, the city of Jinzhou is extremely strong, and it is impossible for Huang Taiji to attack. The only choice is Lin Danhan. Huang Taiji is a rare hero, and he will not let go of this opportunity. Attacking Lin Danhan is certain. The general can choose the opportunity to move, either attacking Lin Danhan or Huang Taiji, and he can get some Benefits." Courtesy is reciprocal, and Li Xin did not hesitate to give Zu Dashou a few tricks.Although his army cannot affect the situation of the battle, it is still possible to take advantage of it.It can also be regarded as increasing the power of Liaodong.

"Is this true?" Zu Dashou's eyes lit up, but he quickly returned to his original appearance, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, I will definitely report this person to the emperor in the end, I believe the emperor will definitely have instructions."

"It's so good." Li Xin also sighed after hearing this.Liaodong is of course very good, and Zu Dashou is also a famous player. Unfortunately, Liaodong is inherently deficient. Whether it is defense or offense, it relies on the Central Plains. Therefore, if Zu Dashou wants to attack, he must obtain the permission of the court.It is also conceivable that it will take some time for this kind of thing to go to the court and argue with each other. Maybe at that time, Jiannu has already made strategic adjustments, and it will be difficult for Zu Dashou to take advantage of it.

At this time, Li Xin suddenly understood why Zu Dashou had turned to Jiannu in the end. There was no food inside and no reinforcements outside.Zu Dashou himself suffered unfair treatment due to the harshness and restraint imposed by the imperial court on Liaodong. He had been stationed at the border for more than ten years, that is, he was a general soldier without even a title of title.Naturally, I was upset, and looking at myself, although there was no rebellion on the surface, Chongzhen still gave himself the title of Marquis of Zhengbei.Emperor Chongzhen was too stingy. In this way, it is normal for his ministers to vote abroad if the emperor is not a good man.What is rare is that, according to historical records, after the ancestor Dashou surrendered to build slaves, he did not work for build slaves, which is quite different from Fan Wencheng and later Hong Chengchou.Just because of this, Li Xin's affection for Zu Dashou increased a lot.

"Master Hou, according to the general's prediction to the imperial court, I am afraid that the imperial court will not send a large army to support Lord Hou this time. It is better for Lord Hou to be careful." Zu Dashou lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "Master Hou, Chen Xinjia is here! People have some tricks, and the Hou family father and son also have some reputation in the Xuanfu, Hou Ye, what if it's a matter?"

"Don't worry, I didn't expect the imperial court to give me any help, ha ha." Li Xin waved his hand and said with a smile: "I didn't pay attention to a little Lin Danhan. Although the momentum is huge, the composition is complicated. Different camps, I can easily destroy them, so don't worry."

"Since that's the case, don't worry about the last general." Zu Dashou nodded and said.

"Okay, General Zu, I'm leaving too. If I have time in the future, when I visit Guihua City, I, Li Xin, will entertain the general myself." Li Xin looked back, but saw that the three armies had already gathered, guarding the city. Three carriages were waiting for Li Xin to set off.

"Respectfully send off the Marquis." Zu Dashou looked thoughtfully at the cavalry around Li Xin. There were about [-] cavalrymen riding on the horse. , whose elite level is not at all inferior to his own Guan Ning iron cavalry, and he feels a little regretful in his heart that he should accept Li Xin back then.

"Let's go." Seeing that Li Xin was ready, Shang Ke immediately sent an order to set off. In an instant, the army rumbled forward, heading west, and soon disappeared at the end of the grassland.And Huang Long, who escorted Li Xin, also led the navy back to Dongjiang Town.

"Father, is it true that you are Li Xin? He can really copy Jiannu's lair?" Zu Zerun said in disbelief: "Also, how could Huang Taiji's woman fall into Li Xin's hands?" Woolen cloth?"

"Li Xin didn't tell lies. Do you know who the masked man is?" Zu Dashou shook his head and said, "He is the general soldier of Pidao Township in Dongjiang Town of the imperial court, and Huang Long who leads the Dengzhou Navy. With his help It is not impossible to sneak attack Jiannu lair from behind. As for the woman of Huang Taiji, if you threaten with the coffin of the old thief Nurhachi, let alone one concubine, you can get ten or twenty concubines. Hehe! I am afraid that Huang Taiji has suffered a big loss, and I am afraid that he has already put on a green hat, but he did not expect that Huanglong actually took refuge in Li Xin.",

On the other side, Zu Zerun's face turned red when he heard it, and his eyes were full of naked jealousy. This Li Xin was so lucky that he actually got a concubine of Huang Taiji. It's about to boil.Damn Huang Taiji, he is so incompetent, he can't even look down on his own wife, let Li Xin, his wife, be kidnapped, you really deserve the cuckold.

"Father, Li Xin said just now that Huang Taiji will gather an army to attack Lin Danhan, and the Jiannu lair must also be empty. Maybe we can take the opportunity to attack the Jiannu lair!" Zu Zerun's eyes lit up suddenly.

Zu Dashou's eyes lit up, and he said: "This has already happened once, Huang Taiji is not a fool, this kind of thing can't happen. What's more, even if I want to send troops, I need the approval of the imperial court! Will the imperial court agree?" Don’t you know if you agree? You should make some preparations and let the soldiers prepare for the battle. I will write to the emperor. This opportunity is rare. Even if you can’t recreate the slaves, you can still take advantage of it. Hey, if the Xuanfu can send troops to support Li Xin, Maybe the imperial court can take the opportunity to subdue Li Xin, hey, it’s hard! It’s hard! Let’s go!” Zu Dashou suddenly laughed, whipped his horse, and led Zu Zerun back to Jinzhou City.
