I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 490 each with their own minds

Chen Liangbi and others were slightly startled when these words came out.

"What happened? Please tell me in detail."

Upon seeing this, Liu Guangguo thought for a moment, then looked around at the crowd and said slowly:

"Reporting to the Marquis of Taining, after Sun Degong met Wang Huazhen last month, he then called Shi Tingzhu and Zhang Shiyan, the Chinese army guard, to come to his home to discuss matters. In the first month of the year, he took advantage of the opportunity of the generals to visit Wang Huazhen in Guangning and repeatedly communicated secretly with him. The generals of Jianlu met, and I don’t know what they were plotting.”

When Chen Liangbi heard this, he immediately showed doubts on his face.

"Does Sun Degong have other plans? Did the person you placed around Sun Degong report any other useful information?"

Liu Guangguo said hesitantly after hearing this:
"No, Sun Degong is very cautious about this kind of thing and doesn't allow anyone to get close to him. The people we placed around him can only guess some fragments, and it seems to be related to Jianlu."

This result did not surprise Chen Liangbi and others. Sun Degong had long been secretly connected with Jianlu.Now I am discussing matters with those generals who secretly communicated with the Jianlu people, and the discussion must be about the Jianlu affairs or the division of spoils.

It's just that Chen Liangbi really couldn't figure out in his heart, what exactly was Sun Degong's mobilization of troops and mobilization about Jianlu?
"It's easy to think about this matter. Just wait until Sun Degong and others are arrested tomorrow and interrogated strictly. No matter what secrets he has, he will definitely spit them out!"

Lu Qin sneered when he heard this. He had always looked down upon these conspiracies and tricks.I thought that no matter what Sun Degong and others were plotting, they would naturally find out tomorrow.

When Chen Liangbi heard this, he nodded secretly and waited until tomorrow.

So he discussed with Tan Mian and others for a while, and after making clear plans for tomorrow, he asked them to recharge their batteries and go back to rest and prepare.

It’s not just Chen Liangbi and others who are discussing important matters.At this time in the city, Sun Degong's mansion was also noisy.

In his study, Zhenyi Fort Chief Jin Li, Guangning Guard Guerrilla Lang Shaozhen and others were called to the house by Sun Degong and others. Their faces were different and the atmosphere was solemn. They didn't know what was going on.

"Now that the Beijing camp is here, it seems that the caravan will have to stop for a while. Don't leave the customs for the time being, otherwise it will be troublesome if you are discovered."

Jin Li, the captain of Zhenyi Fort, looked around at the crowd and was the first to speak his mind.

Today he also saw the Beijing camp army. Seeing its neat appearance, he suddenly felt some fear in his heart.

"It's a pity that the caravan stopped. Last year, the old slaves were in a difficult situation and the prices for iron tools and food were very high. After a few waves of our trips, we made a profit of 30 taels of silver. This year, the old slaves will probably have an even harder time. If we go there again The profits may be higher."

Although the current situation should indeed stop, the high profits made Guangningwei guerrilla Lang Shaozhen reluctant to part with it. There was a lot of gold and silver in front of him. If he didn't make money, he would be a fool.

"Although I say that, you have to make money so that you can spend it! I think the court is going to take action this time. So many armies have gathered in Liaodong. The old slave's life is getting harder and harder day by day. Now I really A little scared."

Hearing that Lang Shaozhen wanted to continue committing crimes against the wind, Jin Li shook his head, obviously disapproving of his words.

He felt very uneasy now, thinking that he might as well give it up as soon as possible, and maybe he could keep his current wealth.But these words immediately attracted a burst of ridicule from others.

"Afraid? This matter is over? Will it be okay? It's ridiculous! What we are doing is a beheading business. It's okay if Jianlu can hold on. But if Jianlu is destroyed, we will be shaken out too. You Do you think we can live well by then? This is a capital crime!"

Lang Shaozhen on the side suddenly cursed angrily.After doing this kind of thing, you still want to settle down and retreat. Is there still a chance to retreat?
"All right!"

Seeing that everyone was about to start a quarrel, Sun Degong, who had been silent, finally spoke.When everyone saw this, they also shut up and looked at Sun Degong, hoping that he would come up with an idea.

"Master Li is very right. Now that we have done this, we have no way out. Now it is best to think about getting peace talks between the imperial court and Jianlu as soon as possible. If the peace talks are successful, there may be another chance."

"But···"

Jin Li, the captain of Zhenyi Fort, hesitated after hearing this. He always felt that this matter was unreliable, and then continued:

"The Jianlu have repeatedly attacked the city and plundered the territory. How can I, the Ming Dynasty, negotiate peace with them? Even if Governor Wang writes a letter, I am afraid that there is little hope. Now the imperial court has sent the capital camp to Liaodong. Although we have sent people to report the news the day before yesterday, we still have no hope. I’m afraid it will be too late to get the news.”

Hearing Jin Li's discouraging words, Sun Degong smiled and didn't care about it.

"If we just submit a letter for peace talks, the possibility is of course slim. But if we let Jianlu win a big victory and then take the opportunity for peace talks, there might be a glimmer of hope."

As he spoke, Sun Degong clapped his hands on the armrests of the chairs and looked around the crowd. Seeing everyone hanging their heads in silence, he was not angry. Instead, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He said as if he had some calculation in his mind: "I mentioned this a few days ago. What do you guys think?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly became silent.

"Everyone was very happy when they got the money last month, but now they are all scared to death. What? Are you ready to turn your back on me? Why don't you go to the governor's office to sue me later, repent and turn over a new leaf before you testify against me? , maybe the imperial court will let you live."

As soon as these words came out, Li Zongqian, the guard of Xining Fort, stood up immediately, raised his hands to Sun Degong and said:

"General Sun Shen, we are currently at loggerheads with Jianlu, so we definitely want to help. But this matter is indeed a bit big, but if you want to let the caravan out, or deliver information, I'm not afraid, and I will definitely support it. . But if the Jianlu were allowed to enter Liaozuo, it would be a bit difficult.

Not to mention whether this matter is possible, even if it is successful and Jianlu comes in with a pat on the back, how should we deal with it?But don't worry, except for this matter, I will fully support everything else. "

"This is reasonable. This is a serious crime of rebellion. Besides, the Beijing camp has already arrived in Liaozuo. Even if they let Jianlu in, they will not be able to achieve any big results. This is really not worth the gain."

Upon seeing this, Jin Li, the capital of Zhenyi Fort, also hurriedly tried to persuade him. He was getting more and more frightened and now he was getting deeper into trouble. Originally, he was just seeking money.The current situation is no longer as simple as seeking money, but more like a rebellion.Li Zongqian was right just now, so what if Jianlu was let in privately?It's completely useless, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Sun Degong felt angry when he saw them hesitating and objecting one by one.

"You are confused! Now we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, don't you understand the meaning of death? If Jianlu fails, we will not be able to escape. When the court investigates, none of us will survive!
And you have also seen the determination of the imperial court. All the troops from the Beijing camp are pressing down on the city, and the food within Jianlu is becoming increasingly scarce.When the Beijing camp arrives at the Liaodong front line, Jianlu's destruction is right in front of us. If we don't give Jianlu a chance to gain a slight advantage now, it will be even more difficult in the future, and we won't make any money, and our lives will be lost. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless and didn't know what to do.Upon seeing this, Sun Degong took advantage of the situation and added fuel to the fire, and continued:

"But you don't have to worry. This time Huang Taiji sent troops not to capture the city, but for another purpose. He just entered Liaozuo by the way, plundered and then withdrew his troops. They will not go to Guangning City, nor will they fight with the Beijing camp. There will be a head-on conflict. In this case, even if one or two border forts fall, it is not impossible. If we cooperate in a scene then, it is possible that we will make new achievements. "

Sun Degong's analysis of the pros and cons also made everyone who objected just now look at each other.

Sun Degong was a rough talker but not a rough talker. Although it was extremely risky to do so, they were indeed grasshoppers on the first rope and no one could escape.

Lang Shaozhen thought for a long time, finally took a deep breath, stood up, slapped the table, and said repeatedly:

"It's done! It's not for merit but for money. We are already tied together. Since Huang Shenjiang has said this, whoever opposes it will want the rest of us to die. I will never let him go."

When he spoke, he glanced at Jin Li. Upon seeing this, Jin Li and others knew that they had to agree even if he didn't agree this time, so they nodded helplessly.

Sun Degong was immediately overjoyed, stood up immediately, looked around at everyone and said:
"Okay! You are all smart people, so this matter is settled. To tell you the truth, Huang Taiji is about to send troops as agreed. I believe that Chen Liangbi will be given a big surprise soon."

When Jin Li heard this, he immediately became confused. Could it be that Huang Taiji and others were fools? Will Huang Taiji attack Liaozuo after he receives the news that the Beijing camp has arrived in Liaozuo?
Thinking of this, he could only shake his head secretly in his heart.

But now that he has boarded the pirate ship, he can't get off no matter what, and he can only be forced to support Sun Degong.

Time flies, and soon the next night comes.

Yongning governor Yamen.

The Yamen Mansion was extremely lively today. Now the whole Guangning City knew that Governor Wang Huazhen wanted to have a good relationship with Taining Marquis and publicize the emperor's will.A special banquet was held at the governor's yamen, including the three armies of the Beijing camp and the generals above the rank of general in Guangning city.

Although this was against the rules of the court, Liaozuo was bitterly cold and remote, and the Marquis of Taining didn't have any objections, so he didn't care so much.

"Marquis Taining led an army from the capital. The journey was very hard. I am very grateful and admire you. I give you a toast to Marquis Taining."

Wang Huazhen is in a very good mood these days. She originally thought that Chen Liangbi would be difficult to deal with.

But after meeting him, I found that Chen Liangbi was very easy to talk to and very polite to him.He immediately felt good about him and felt like he was going to make a good friendship.

Seeing Wang Huazhen pick up the wine glass, Chen Liangbi on the side also raised his wine glass in return.

"Governor Wang, you are too polite. We are all serving His Majesty. There is no hard work or hardship. On the contrary, when I pass by Guangning, I will bother you."
