Chapter 346
"Right now, if they don't come, we can go." Wu Sangui said from the side: "Father is the general soldier of Phi Island, and he can go to Phi Island openly. My child sees that they are not opposed to father on the surface, but are afraid of their own safety. This shows that they have not yet dared to resist the imperial court, and this is our chance."

"This?" After hearing this, Wu Xiang showed a hint of emotion on his face, and quickly shook his head again, saying: "Lushunkou is our territory, but Pidao is theirs. What's more, Pidao is close to Jiannu, what are they really going to do, what can we do, maybe I will become the second Huanglong." How could Wu Xiang entrust her life in other people's hands.

"However, what the emperor needs is not only Pidao, but also such food and grass!" Wu Sangui hesitated. He also knew the danger in it, but more importantly, if his father and son did not solve this matter, Emperor Chongzhen would not It will cause trouble for the father and son, this is a dead end.

"Then what do you mean?" When Wu Xiang thought of the imperial decree of Emperor Chongzhen, he immediately became upset and irritable, and walked up and down the hall. If he had known that this matter was so difficult, he would not have come to Lushunkou. Woolen cloth!

"Father can go there openly, or even slowly, as long as he doesn't get close to Phi Island, and then he will send a letter to Phi Island to let them come to see him. Rebellious." Wu Sangui said viciously: "The emperor is very dissatisfied with Li Xin's occupation of Pidao, and it would be best if Li Xin was also involved in this matter."

"Forcing the princes along the way?" Wu Xiang thought for a while, and couldn't help trembling. Li Xin was almost the taboo of the entire imperial court. Everyone knew that Li Xin might rebel, but they didn't dare to mention it in front of Chongzhen.Moreover, Li Xin has not yet rebelled. Whether it is the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty or Chongzhen, they actually have illusions about Li Xin. Wu Xiang is a treacherous person, so he naturally knows the mentality of Emperor Chongzhen. They will do something to him to maintain the current situation, or to put it another way, it is enough to compress Li Xin's power in the grassland. If Wu Xiang forces Li Xin to turn against him because of this matter, Wu Xiang will only be unlucky. Xiang.

"Li Xin hasn't rebelled yet, not only because the imperial court is relatively powerful, but more importantly, he is not ready. So he won't tear himself apart from the imperial court because of the Phi Island incident. Father can act boldly. Even You can also take this opportunity to gain the trust of the emperor." Wu Sangui analyzed on the side.

"It really needs to be like this?" Wu Xiang was still a little timid, although he also understood that what Wu Sangui said was reasonable, but if he really wanted to do it, he still had to make up his mind.

"That's right, father, it's time to make a decision." Wu Sangui nodded and said.

"In this case, you and I, father and son, will fight for a future?" Wu Xiang said, looking at Wu Sangui.

"That's right." Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and said, "Father, right now is an excellent time. The road is blocked by heavy snow. Li Xin hasn't gotten any news yet. When he gets the news, the matter has already settled down, unless he wants to rebel. , otherwise, you can only think that you are unlucky. Yunzhong is more than a thousand miles away from Phi Island, and when Li Xin reacts, we have already accomplished something."

"Not bad." Wu Xiang's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she clapped her hands fiercely and said, "It's still my son's plan was right. He is indeed my family's thousand-mile horse!"

The next day, Wu Xiang ordered [-] Dengzhou sailors to slowly attack Phi Island. The excuse he gave was to patrol the border to prevent the slaves from attacking, and to condolences to the Phi Island soldiers.The fleet moved slowly, but anyway, the spies passed the news to Phi Island.

To fight, or not to fight?The problem lies in front of Zhang Cai and others.To fight is to raise troops against the imperial court, to not fight is to let Wu Xiang's army approach.

"Hmph! I just won't go out, so what can Wu Xiang do to me?" As the first line of defense, Sun Yinglong led the Pidao navy to block Wu Xiang's way, but he didn't dare to fight, he just blocked the opponent's way That's all.

"He's a cunning person. Unfortunately, if there is no righteousness, there is no righteousness. It can only be a delay." After Wu Xiang heard about it, he knew the other party's intention after a little thought, and shook his head with a look of disdain on his face. , still ordered the fleet to move slowly.

"It's really a joke for such an imperial court to use such a general." After Zhang Cai on Phi Island heard about Wu Xiang's behavior, he immediately sighed: "Now that the country is facing a crisis, Phi Island has arrangements for conquering the North Marquis, which is enough for us Jiannu did not dare to attack Pidao, but he was able to communicate with Jinzhou from afar, Wu Xiang is as timid as a mouse, how could he resist Jiannu." At this moment, Zhang Cai was indescribably disappointed.

"Then what should we do now?" Zhao Guang asked again.

"Send [-] stones of food and grass to Wu Xiang, and tell him that after we receive the order from Marquis Zhengbei to retreat, we will immediately move away from Kaipi Island." Zhang Cai sneered, "Humph, give him a Pi Island and see if he can do it." Can't keep it."

"What if he doesn't agree?" Li Weiluan said loudly.

"Then the jade will be destroyed." Zhang Cai's eyes were shining brightly, and he snorted coldly: "I want to see if Wu Xiang, who has been placed with high hopes by the court, has the courage to attack my Pidao and do things that will hurt my loved ones and make my enemies happy." Things are coming." After everyone heard this, there was silence in their hearts. Originally, everyone still had a little affection for the imperial court, but they were very satisfied with their current situation. As Li Xin's commander and a general of the imperial court, neither side should offend.Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen sent this Wu Xiang to be the chief soldier. If Wu Xiang's talent is far superior to Zhao Guang's, that's nothing to say. Unfortunately, Wu Xiang's reputation has long been rotten on the street. His escape destroyed the tens of thousands of troops. How would the generals be willing to let such a person command him.

Sure enough, after receiving Pi Dao's reply, Wu Xiang thought for a long time, but he still didn't have the guts to attack Pi Dao. Instead, he agreed to Pi Dao's conditions and transported [-] shi of grain and grass to Beijing, but he himself did not return to Lushunkou. It was watching covetously on the sea, waiting for Li Xin's order.

It can be said that Chongzhen made a foolish move this time, that is, after receiving the news of the Battle of Pidao and the news that Wu Xiang was the general soldier of Pidao, Li Xin shook his head for a while.Although the road was blocked by heavy snow, the spies of the seven great families in the capital quickly passed the news to Li Xin. Li Xin was very proud that the chess pieces he had conveniently placed on Phi Island could play such a role.Zhang Cairen has not returned, which in itself is a very depressing thing for Li Xin, but now Emperor Chongzhen has pushed Zhang Cai in front of him.Li Xin was very happy, what's more, once Chongzhen's method came out, all the generals on Phi Island would look down on Chongzhen, and it would be a matter of time before they surrendered to Li Xin.

"My lord, my subordinates think that skin islands are like chicken ribs. It's tasteless to want them, but it's a pity to discard them." Shi Yuanzhi put his hands on the brazier, pondered for a while and said suddenly.

"You mean to give up Pidao?" Li Xin quickly understood the reason.

"That's right, Phi Island is isolated overseas. Although it is possible to attack Jiannu's rear, after the master's blow, Jiannu may be prepared and will not let the master succeed easily. In this case, it is better to simply concentrate the troops and attack openly. Just build a slave." Shi Yuanzhi nodded and said.

"My lord, the most important thing is Chongzhen's attitude." Song Xiance also said: "Chongzhen children can allow the lord to dominate the grassland, but they will never allow the lord to go to the Central Plains. Even Liaodong is unwilling to let the lord intervene. The lord occupies Phi Island, it seems to be to deal with Jiannu, but lord, the navy of Phi Island can also threaten his sea area, threaten his money and food in the south of the Yangtze River. That's why he asked Wu Xiang to be the general soldier of Phi Island , not General Zhao Guang."

"Hey! If I wanted to harass him in Jiangnan, why would I wait until now." Li Xin said disdainfully: "The emperor is a bit petty, Jiannu is being forced back to his lair by me, but the old emperor wants to untie him. Forget it! If I pay attention to a Pidao, he has just made a Duke of Liao by him, and then confronts him, it is really a joke. I want to see if Pidao let him Wu Xiang, can he keep Wu Xiang live."

"I'm afraid that once the lord leaves, Phi Island will soon be controlled by Jian Nu." Song Xiance laughed.It's not to blame for his gloating appearance, who made him extremely dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty?In other words, a person like him, who was discriminated against by others before, inevitably has some problems in his heart.Among Li Xin's many civil servants and military generals, if he is a staunch anti-Ming, it is probably this Song Xiance.

"If you give up, you will gain. Now our strength is not strong enough. It is better to consolidate our own territory. Pi Dao, since the imperial court wants it, let him." Li Xinxin sighed, the Emperor Chongzhen Just now the relationship with him has been improved, but now he immediately turned his face, self-willed, and he doesn't trust himself, no wonder he worked hard for his country, but in the end he didn't restore the Ming Dynasty. It's not because he has no ability, but because of his character .

"Yes, my lord, the most important thing right now is the remaining power of Lin Dan Khan. After the spring, when the heavy snow melts, we immediately send troops to force the remaining forces of Lin Dan Khan to surrender to the lord before the establishment of slaves. Only in this way can the lord establish hegemony. Divide the world with Jiannu and the imperial court." Song Xiance said loudly.He is full of vigor, and a faint red light can be seen on his black and thin face. If he has three points in the world, he is qualified to aspire to the top of the world.Song Xiance, as a minister of the dragon, it's hard not to think about his prosperity!

"In this case, tell Zhao Guang to give up Phi Island, and then tell Wu Xiang that after the snow melts, I will withdraw from Phi Island, and the generals and soldiers on Phi Island are ordinary people, as long as they are willing to come to the grassland , I, Li Xin, welcome them all." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "After the beginning of spring, I will personally go to Liaodong to welcome them back."
