Han ride

Chapter 107
"Thank you, sir, for reminding me." Qiu Hejia stood up and said to Sun Chengzong.This matter is big or small, but Qiu Hejia doesn't want to be criticized yet.

"Happy news, good news." At this time, a sound of horseshoes came, and everyone's expressions changed. They all looked at the entrance of the mansion to see who was so bold as to call out the sound of good news at this time.What is it if this is not a slap in the face.

"Good news, Master Supervisor, Jiannu has retreated." The soldier who sent the order obviously didn't notice the atmosphere in the hall, but said loudly.

"Jiannu retreated?" Sun Chengzong stood up at once. The Ming army was defeated in this battle and lost countless soldiers, horses and equipment. Even in Jinzhou City, there were only a few remnants and defeated generals. If Jiannu took the opportunity to attack, I really don't know what to do. ?It's all right now, Jiannu has retreated.But why did Jiannu retreat?

"Our army was defeated, why did Jiannu retreat?" Qiu Hejia seemed to have thought of something, and immediately stood up and asked excitedly.

"Jiannu suffered numerous casualties and was defeated by General Li Xin, so of course he retreated." The spy showed a hint of surprise on his face, and said: "It is said that the slave chief Hong Tai was severely injured by General Li. The tens of thousands of troops under his command were completely lost. General Li He led the army to chase and kill for more than a hundred li, and returned victorious. Jiannu dared not go south."

The spy's speech shocked everyone in the hall, and the boss who opened his mouth looked unbelievable. Even Sun Chengzong was also the boss who opened his mouth. In the end, he didn't care about his demeanor and ran out quickly. Then Qiu Hejia and others They seemed to understand, and rushed out of the hall one after another. After a while, they saw dozens of civil servants and military generals galloping away, but galloping towards the Daling River.Obviously these people still don't believe much in this matter.

In the evening, the people rushed to Dalinghe City, and they saw corpses all over the ground, all of them were the corpses of the slave army. On one side of the battlefield, there were two huge tombs with the words "Daming Chongzhen Four Years" written on it. , The tomb of the soldiers who went to disaster for the country. Li Xinli of the Han Dynasty." It's like this.There is also a text that reads "In the fourth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Li Xin of the Han Dynasty led the army to destroy and build slaves, and collected the remains of more than [-] Mongolian soldiers here."

"On October [-]th of the fourth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Li Xin of the Han Dynasty broke down and built slaves here. The slave chief Huang Taiji was defeated." A huge wooden board stood on the ground, and Sun Chengzong could see it clearly at a glance, and his mouth was even more light Read it lightly.

"It seems that Jiannu was really defeated by Li Xin." Qiu Hejia said softly. His words were complicated and his thoughts were inexplicable. He had trusted and guarded against Li Xin, but in the end, a dragon is a dragon, and Qiu Hejia can't do it at all. He didn't know how many troops Li Xin led to stop him, but no matter what, Li Xin defeated Jiannu and defeated the biggest enemy of the imperial court at once. This may be an unprecedented victory since Yuan Chonghuan.

"It really was defeated by him." Sun Chengzong was extremely annoyed. Li Xincai had only more than 1 troops, but he was able to defeat tens of thousands of Jiannu soldiers. Although there were some Mongolian soldiers, Jiannu soldiers always accounted for the majority .According to intelligence, Jiannu led an army of 7 in the south, and with the continuous increase in troops and horses, there were at least [-] to [-] horses. Such a strength was actually defeated by Li Xin. Such a military genius missed Daming.

"Han Li Xin." Qiu Hejia read these three words softly in his mouth. What Li Xin wrote was not "Ming Li Xin", but "Han Li Xin", which showed his attitude.

"Master, we have won." Song Wei said softly to Sun Chengzong.

"It's not us that won, but Li Xin." Sun Chengzong shook his head and said bitterly: "Can you find Li Xin's troops? Can you find his camp?"

"I'm afraid Li Xin has already left." At this time, Zu Dashou flew over, and he saw a letter in his hand, and handed it to Sun Chengzong respectfully.

"What is this?" Sun Chengzong asked curiously.

"This is found in a dilapidated camp in the distance." Zu Dashou pointed to the distance, and everyone looked, and sure enough, they saw a small camp in the distance. When they felt it, they realized that the camp was actually quite big. It's just that all the rest of the camps have been dismantled, and there is only a small tent left here.Around it, traces of chaos can still be seen.Obviously the army had already withdrawn, and the tents left behind were probably waiting for everyone.

"This Li Xin is really hateful." When Qiu Hejia and the others were about to inquire, they heard Sun Chengzong's face flushed and he was cursing.

"Master Supervisor." Qiu Hejia said with some displeasure.

"This Li Xin really has the guts of a leopard. Not only did he gather the defeated soldiers of the imperial court, but he also brought together Mr. Zhang Chun, the governor Zhang Hongmo, the deputy general Yang Huazheng, Xue Dahu Manku and the generals, guerrillas, capital officers, guards, and guards. Yu and Qian have a total of more than 30 generals, and then use these to threaten the old man, so that the old man will give him all the family members of those soldiers. And no troops are allowed to be stationed within a hundred miles around Dalinghe City. It is ridiculous, ridiculous, what does he want to do? ?" Sun Chengzong yelled at the side, he was panting heavily, the generals around him didn't dare to speak, they kept their mouths lax.At this time, no one dared to speak.

"Tens of thousands of Jiannu were defeated by Li Xin in this way. I don't have to worry about Jiannu encroaching on Liaodong for ten years." Qiu Hejia on the side said softly.

Sun Chengzong's face changed when he heard this, but in the end he sighed deeply. He had to say that what Qiu Hejia said made sense. Li Xin defeated Jiannu with an army of more than ten thousand. Jiannu's strength was greatly damaged, and there were countless casualties. His achievements are real, and I believe that this matter will spread throughout China in the near future, and the court's burden on Liaodong will be greatly reduced, but his actions made Sun Chengzong extremely angry.

"The merits and demerits of the emperor will naturally be judged by the emperor. My lord, this matter is of great importance. Please ask your majesty for instructions!" Zu Dashou looked complicated. He has been in Liaodong for so many years and has followed Yuan Chonghuan. Knowing how many times stronger he is, although he has Guanning Tieqi in hand, he does not dare to offend Jiannu easily, let alone defeat Jiannu, but how long has Li Xin only debuted, he is only in his teens, and with [-] troops he can After defeating Jiannu, I don't know how many soldiers and horses I have gathered now, and what will happen in the future.Such a person does not know how the court will deal with this matter.

"Forget it! It's better to leave this matter to His Majesty. I believe that the court will make a decision." Sun Chengzong suddenly thought of his situation, and really didn't know what to do. Whether this battle was a big victory or a big defeat, Sun Chengzong was suddenly confused Woke up.

"My lord, why are you still so sad after winning the battle?" Qiu Hejia asked with a smile.

"Did we win this battle?" Sun Chengzong looked around, but saw that the left and right lowered their heads.Sun Chengzong sighed again, and said: "This matter is of great importance. Maybe it has already passed to the capital. Then Li Xin is extremely treacherous. How could he give up such an opportunity? Those generals are his bargaining chips with the imperial court. This battle was also given to the court by him. The emperor may have known the situation here a long time ago, and I am afraid it is impossible for you to pretend to be credited."

"Master Superintendent's words are wrong! No matter who fought this battle or who defeated Jiannu, at least it is a fact that Jiannu did not dare to herd horses in the Central Plains within ten years." Zu Dashou thought for a while and said: "Although we were defeated, Li Xin was victorious. More importantly, Li Xin was able to defeat Jiannu with such a small force. The general thought that Li Xin must have chosen a good time, or it was caused by a sneak attack. , No matter which one it is, it has a lot to do with our cooperation, so it seems that Li Xin did this battle alone, but in fact, this kind of credit is half of one person."

"Yes, yes, what the Zujunmen said is very true." All the generals nodded their heads when they heard the words, and their faces showed complacency.

"Xianzhi, what do you think?" Sun Chengzong pondered for a while, and asked Qiu Hejia on the side.

"The lower officials think what the Zujunmen said is true, otherwise, Li Xin would not have achieved such a record." Qiu Hejia thought about it and nodded.Although this kind of thing is a bit far-fetched, but thinking about it carefully, what Zu Dashou said is not unreasonable.Thinking about how great such a military exploit is, Li Xin can't enjoy it alone. In this case, he might as well distribute some to the generals, so that he, the governor of Liaodong, can take advantage of it.

"It's up to posterity to judge right and wrong, and it's useless for us to say it here." Sun Chengzong sighed suddenly: "The key is to see what the emperor says. In it, Li Xin told me that he wanted to build Guihua City."

"Guihua City? That's Lin Danhan's place! What does he want to do?" Qiu Hejia's face changed, and he asked in surprise.

"In the past, you all said that Li Xin was ambitious, but now it seems that his broad-mindedness is beyond the reach of this old man!" Sun Chengzong threw the letter in his hand to Qiu Hejia, and said: "On the tombstone he erected is written'Han Li Xin ', this shows his mind. He wanted to be a character like a Han hussar, so he led nearly 2 horses into the grassland. He wanted to fight Lin Dan Khan and sweep the grassland by the way. Weaken the building The strength of the slaves, every time the slaves go south, on the one hand, they are mostly female Manchus, and on the other hand, there are Mongolian soldiers and horses following them. If the Mongolian soldiers are eliminated, the strength of the slaves will be weakened a lot. Li Xinnai He is the hero of the country! What a pity."

"My lord, what should I do?" Qiu Hejia showed a trace of displeasure on his face.

"The key to this matter depends on what the emperor said. After this battle, the best result of this old man is to dismiss from his post and return to his hometown. Therefore, this letter is to be sent to the emperor. Please the emperor give Li Xin an official title. Li Xin is such a hero. We can't let him deal with the Mongolian tribes alone. Whether it is Lin Danhan or the Mongolian tribes, they have often harassed the border these years. If Li Xin can pacify the grasslands, it will be a great contribution to Ming Dynasty." Sun Chengzong looked at the west, It seemed as if Li Xin was leading an army across the grassland.
