Chapter 311 Lurking
"I said yes, he is." Li Xin looked at Hou Rong with a smile. He never thought that the Hou family would have a daughter, and she would be so bold as to follow him deep into the grassland. If Hou Gong was not worried about his situation , Telling about Hou Rong overnight, I am afraid that Li Xin still does not know that the daughter of the Hou family will be by his side.

"Humph, I said Marquis Zhengbei, and everyone said that your military discipline is strict. I didn't expect that there would be people who pretended to be credited!" Hou Rong just couldn't understand Li Xin's appearance, so she couldn't help but sneered.No matter when, especially in the army, it is a shameful thing to claim the credit of your subordinates, but this kind of situation happens often, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, it is not uncommon.

Li Xin frowned. Who is Shang Kexi? In history, he took refuge in Jiannu. He was one of the three kings in the early Qing Dynasty. After entering the customs, compared with fighting with the Nanming army, there was a world of difference. To be honest, Li Xin hated and hated this guy, just like he hated Wu Sangui.If Shang Kexi had already taken refuge in Jiannu, then when Li Xin met this person, he would kill him without even thinking about it. Unfortunately, when Li Xin met Shang Kexi, Shang Kexi did not take refuge in Jianu, on the contrary, he took refuge in Jianu. He Li Xin, even if Li Xin hates such a traitor, it is not easy to kill him.So he was very contradictory. All along, Shang Kexi led his own troops, no more, no less, just 500 people.Of course, this situation had to change after he entered the base camp of Guihua City.

Shang Kexi, this person can be used, but not very useful, and this person has to be watched by someone.I haven't found it before, and now maybe this person is a candidate.

"Go, look at Wang Fuchen, and see if he has found his adoptive father. If he finds him, bring them to see me." With a wave of confidence, Li said to the guards beside him.

"Are you really going to use him?" Hou Rong said with some surprise: "He is just a servant of the Fan family. Although he has some bravery, I am afraid that there is still a certain gap between leading the army and fighting!"

"Many heroes are in the grass, haven't you heard the saying?" Li Xin pointed to the dark place and said: "Although Wang Fuchen was born as a servant, he has the potential of a general, and he went deep into the grassland alone. , Sending news for me, Li Xin, this is an act of bravery, he was seriously injured, but wanted to cover his adoptive father who escaped, this is an expression of benevolence, righteousness, and propriety, although I don’t know what he said to Shang Kexi just now However, he can let him go calmly, which is enough to show that he has a city, a little wisdom, plus his military strength, and a little training, can't he become a general?"

Hou Rong was told by Li Xin that he didn't know how to refute it. Just as Li Xin said, Wang Fuchen basically has all the basic conditions that a general should have. What he lacks is experience. Under his command, are you still afraid that you won't learn experience?
"It's a pity that such a person is just a servant in Xuanfu." Li Xin quickly said a word, which immediately made Hou Rong furious.

"My Ming Dynasty has countless elite soldiers and strong generals. It's really rare that a small servant can be favored by Lord Hou so much!" Hou Rong couldn't help but sneered.Although Li Xin has a great reputation, he has 10,000+ troops under his command, which can be said to be strong and strong. Even Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to canonize Li Xin as Marquis of Zhengbei as a consolation.But it is undeniable that Li Xin's background is too weak, and there are quite a few people who are used to fighting, but there are too few civil servants, only a few people left, Shi Yuanzhi, Zhang Chun, Sun Yuanhua, Zhang Cai, or others Song Xiance, a fortune teller, barely counted as one, and the rest were guys who could fight. They couldn't be compared with the imperial court at all, even Jiannu's. After all, Huang Taiji had many civil servants to help him out.

"If you are not a virtuous ruler, your ministers will vote outside. There are things that have existed throughout the ages. Why doesn't Miss Hou understand?" Li Xinman didn't care. He used to be worried, but now it's the same. Lin Danhan is a grasshopper after autumn. Under Huang Taiji's pincer attack, he must die this time.The rest of the grassland was where Li Xin and Huang Taiji competed. As for the imperial court, I am afraid that they did not have this experience. Now that the Central Plains rebels are boiling again, even Hong Chengchou can do nothing about it. Chongzhen may be choosing a strong general to lead the army.

"You are so courageous." Hou Rong was about to teach Li Xin a lesson, but she saw a group of people galloping towards him from afar. The leader was Wang Fuchen or whoever he was. He saw an old man in his arms, but she was Pale.Come to think of it, the old man was his adoptive father.Then Li Xin hurriedly got off the gate tower and went up to meet him.

"The villain pays homage to Lord Hou."

"The villain Wang Gong pays homage to Lord Hou."

Wang Fuchen jumped off his horse and helped Wang Gong down as well. When they saw Li Xin coming to meet him in person, they bowed down one after another.Li Xin quickly helped the two of them up.

"Old shopkeeper, you have suffered. Li Xin thanked you, not only because you sent me information to Li Xin, but more importantly, because you accepted a good son!" Li Xin said while supporting Wang Gong.An old house where a treasure.For a guy like Wang Gong who has been walking on the grassland all year round and has been immersed in business for decades, he has rich experience and is very rare.

"Don't dare to trouble the Marquis." Wang Gong also showed excitement on his face. Once upon a time, he, a low-status businessman, was able to win the support of Li Xin, the famous Marquis of Zhengbei. If it was spread, it might be regarded as a comfort to his life. .

"After suffering this time, when we return to Guihua City, it is better to stay there and enjoy the blessings. I believe Fan Yongdou will agree with me." Li Xin swept Wang Fuchen behind him and said: "Wang Fuchen is brave and extraordinary, and his future is limitless. General of our army."

"Lord Lao Hou values ​​it. I am here to thank Lord Hou on behalf of the dog." Wang Gong pulled Wang Fuchen again and bowed down.

"Please get up, please get up." Li Xin looked at Wang Gong, and said to the soldiers beside him: "The old man came out of the prison just now, physically and mentally exhausted, take the old man to rest for a while."

"Obey." Several soldiers around him hurriedly supported Wang Gong and left the city.

"Master Hou, the villain is ashamed. He has failed Master Hou's expectations and has not made much contribution." Seeing that Li Xin would not let him help Wang Gong leave, Wang Fuchen knew that Li Xin must have something to say to him, and thought that Li Xin would not let him go. Xin was dissatisfied with himself and quickly explained.

"No, you did a good job. It's already beyond my expectation." Li Xin laughed, helped Wang Fuchen up, took off the cloak on his body, put it on Wang Fuchen, and said, "I used to feel that you If you have a little courage, you will be fine in the future to be a fierce general, but now you find that you not only have courage, but also some wisdom, knowing how to choose, I am very relieved."

"Master Hou, you?" Wang Fuchen's eyes lit up, and he immediately knew that Li Xin probably knew something.

"General Shang used to be in the army of the imperial court before, so it is inevitable that he has these bad habits. The head of a general is still worth a lot of military exploits. What's more, he and Li Xin came from Phi Island, and there are still people around him." There are only five hundred soldiers, and it is inevitable that they will feel dissatisfied, and they want to make military exploits and get rewards, and General Dari Hude's head is exactly this opportunity." Li Xin analyzed lightly.

"The villain understands." Wang Fuchen's voice was low, but his heart was extremely desolate, and his heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

"However, you know who this combat exploit is, and Shang Kexi also knows it, and I, Li Xin, also know it." Li Xin seemed to see a trace of disappointment in Wang Fuchen's heart, and he said with relief: "You have killed Dari. Hude, so what if you get promoted to three ranks and get some silver taels? You don’t have the slightest prestige in the army, and if you are asked to lead others, how can others feel at ease.”

"Then what does Lord Hou mean?" Wang Fuchen's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly.

"Go to Shang Kexi's army, do you dare to go?" Li Xin stared at Wang Fuchen and said.

"Returning to Lord Hou, that's what Shang Kexi said just now. He said he wanted the villain to go under his command." Wang Fuchen thought that Li Xin also knew what Shang Kexi said, and he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Little People are willing to listen to Lord Hou's orders. I will go wherever Lord Hou tells me to go."

"This time he made a contribution, and I have to say it, and even if he didn't make a contribution, since he followed me from Phi Island to the city of Shengjing, and from Phi Island to the grassland, I can't help it." Said, originally I also wanted you to go under his command, but he didn't arouse his suspicion, but what I didn't expect was that he actually asked you to go under his command. It's so good, you can go under his command! I won't talk about the specific position, I believe he will definitely make a good arrangement." Li Xin stared at Wang Fuchen and said, "You, do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Fuchen raised his head, then looked at Li Xin with the fire light, Li Xin's complexion was cloudy under the fire light.There was an inexplicable look in his eyes.Watching Wang Fuchen, cold sweat broke out on his back.He instantly understood Li Xin's meaning, and also made a decision instantly.

"The villain understands." Just because of Li Xin's status, the lord of the three armies, the majestic Marquis of Zhengbei, who controls the tens of thousands of miles of grassland, Wang Fuchen can make a choice, not to mention, this is gratifying He just robbed him of his credit, and he couldn't allow people like Shang Kexi to be unfavorable to him.

"En." Li Xin nodded, stopped talking, but quietly looked at the chaotic city, the shouts of killing in the city were gradually coming to an end, and Wang Fuchen just stood quietly beside Li Xin. By his side, with his head down, he didn't speak.Only Hou Rong kept shaking the horsewhip in her hand, looking at Li Xin and Li Xin. Although she didn't know what Li Xin and Li Xin were talking about just now, she also knew that Li Xin didn't want her to hear these things.
