Chapter 347

The dispute over Pidao was finally resolved on February 20, the sixth year of Chongzhen. After Zhao Guang and others received Li Xin's letter, they quickly passed it on to Wu Xiang. After thinking for a while, Wu Xiang still did not dare to offend Li Xin. , very happy to agree to come down.After all, Li Xin has defeated Lin Danhan now, and soon his power will expand rapidly, and his troops will soon arrive in Liaodong. By that time, Li Xin, Jiannu and the imperial court will be welcomed in the small land of Liaodong The entanglement among the three parties, this chaotic situation lasts for an unknown amount of time, he sounds like a small soldier in Dongjiang town, but in fact, only he himself knows that Wu Xiang is not the one who plays chess here. .Just like what Shi Yuanzhi and others said, Phi Island is isolated overseas and cannot be defended by ordinary people. Wu Xiang still cannot do without the support of Liaodong. Once Li Xin intervenes, Wu Xiang may be in trouble.However, Wu Xiang didn't agree in vain. He asked for the food and grass left by Li Xin on the Phi Island. After getting rid of what everyone had consumed, he still had [-] shi of food and grass for him. He also got a Phi Island. Said, Wu Xiang was lucky this time.

When the grain and grass were transported to the capital, Wu Xiang covered up the problem, and only said in the memorial that Zhang Cai and others fled immediately after hearing the arrival of the heavenly soldiers, and did not reveal the deal between himself and Li Xin. .Chongzhen was overjoyed, and immediately named Wu Xiang as Gao Youbo to reward his achievements.

But in order to ease the relationship with Li Xin, he was named Zhao Guangyu Lin Bo.Yulin is located in Shaanxi.The purpose of adding Zhao Guang as Earl here is of course to win over Li Xin and ease the estrangement between the two sides caused by the Pidao incident, but other places are not sealed, but they are sealed in Yulin, which immediately makes Li Xin and his staff. Very interested.

When the imperial decree was passed to the Liuli Palace, Li Xin invited Shi Yuanzhi and others to discuss it, and even Zhang Chun, Sun Yuanhua and others rushed over.

"The emperor is in a hurry. He needs the soldiers and horses of Lord Marquis." Shi Yuanzhi sneered while touching his beard, "I heard that it hasn't rained in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan since the beginning of spring. This is not a good idea." Omen! I'm afraid this year will be another severe drought."

"If this is the case, the people in these provinces will be unlucky." Song Xiance nodded deeply, and said: "When this happens every year, the number of refugees will increase, but the local government is still very serious. If the refugees can't survive, they will naturally rebel. Therefore, in the imperial court, more and more rebels are suppressed, and there are countless resurgents."

"The wine and meat of Zhumen stinks, and the road is frozen to death!" Zhang Chun stroked his gray beard and said, "It's not that the imperial court has not distributed food for disaster relief, but it's a pity that it was all embezzled by those hateful corrupt officials. gone."

"Government is not stable, no matter how powerful the dynasty is, it will soon fall apart." Li Xin said disdainfully: "Look, how many people in the Manchu dynasty really love the people? Zhou Yanru's boastful talk, superficially Gentlemen, in fact, Wen Tiren is nothing but a treacherous villain. At this time, maybe he is busy fighting for power? With such a person in the court, how can the government be better? Poor Emperor Chongzhen Your Majesty, you have worked so hard, you can only sleep for two or three hours at night, and you only want to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, with the help of such a person, even a god is powerless."

After hearing this, everyone in the hall fell silent.Even Zhang Chun stopped talking.Finally, Shi Yuan coughed and said: "My lord, I am afraid that the court has no soldiers. At this time, the title of General Zhao is the idea of ​​borrowing troops from Lord Hou to go to Shaanxi to suppress bandits. That's why I was given the title of Yulin." Bob."

"My backyard is not stable yet? Where can I find the strength to help him suppress the bandits?" Although Li Xinzhong wanted to take the opportunity to enter the Central Plains and seize a piece of land in the Central Plains, but he didn't even give him the Phi Island when he came to Chongzhen. Sending troops into the Central Plains, I really don't know what kind of reaction Emperor Chongzhen will have!

"Emperor Chongzhen will never let the lord go, but he will borrow troops, not even generals." Song Xiance said disdainfully.

"Hehe, I, Li Xin, am not a fool." Li Xin was taken aback when he heard this, and then burst out laughing.

After everyone heard this, they also shook their heads. Li Xin's elite soldiers and horses are the top in the world, and although the imperial court also has many elite soldiers and horses, they have lost a lot in the suppression of bandits in these years.Perhaps Chongzhen wanted to take Li Xin's idea more than once, but he was just worried that Li Xin was a wolf with ambition. It was easy to invite in, but difficult to send out, so he tried it out first, and made Zhao Guang the Yulin Bo, to see Li Xin and others' reactions.

"Yulin is a good place!" Shi Yuan asked someone to find a map, and said, "When you enter Shaanxi, you must go to Yulin. Now that Hong Chengchou sits on three sides, Yulin has deployed elite soldiers and horses. The court asked Zhao Guang Becoming Uncle Yulin, hehe, this temptation is not small!"

"What does that mean, sir?" Li Xin looked curiously at Shi Yuanzhi, the old fox.

"My lord, you can ask General Zhao to resign this Uncle Yulin and change him to Uncle Liangcheng." Shi Yuan pointed to a place on the map. Liangcheng is on the grassland, a city not far from Guihua, and it is also a city from the grassland to Shanxi. A traffic artery, of course, is far less important than Yulin.But it is also very suitable to test Emperor Chongzhen.

"What if Emperor Chongzhen decides to use his tricks and seal General Zhao in this place, so what should we do?" Song Xiance was still reluctant to part with this opportunity to enter the Central Plains.

"No, Emperor Chongzhen will one day take the initiative to invite me, Li Xin, to enter the Central Plains to suppress bandits." Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't discuss this matter. My enemy is Jiannu. Lin Danhan, but the surrounding area is not safe. Chahar's remnant forces, Lin Danhan's territory are waiting to be taken over, and the Horqin tribe will come to take revenge at any time. As for Huang Taiji, I am afraid that he will also intervene. Clean up all these first, Then let’s talk about other things. The worst thing is to drink Jiannu and divide the grassland equally, so that we can have enough strength to enter the Central Plains. Entering the Central Plains now will attract the attention of all forces, and Emperor Chongzhen will also be wary of us. Put our soldiers and horses Wanton mobilization, and Huang Taiji can calmly subdue all ethnic groups in the grassland. Maybe we won't get anything in the end. Emperor Chongzhen can't afford to wait, but I, Li Xin, can wait. I'm still young, younger than Emperor Chongzhen, Huang Taiji and the others are young, youth is capital, our foundation itself is not stable, and our steps cannot be too big." Facing his own victory, Li Xin was still very calm.
