Chapter 109 The Regretful Emperor Chongzhen

"I'm afraid that you are not showing weakness, but that you are a weak person yourself." Zhang Chun couldn't help but strike at Li Xin's complacent look.

"Old man, I am not Zu Dashou, and the soldiers and horses under my command are not the Guan Ning Army, let alone Wu Xiang. When the battle came to a critical juncture, he ran away. The imperial court has such an army. Undefeated? Let's take a look tomorrow!" Li Xin waved his hand and said with a smile, but it caused Zhang Chun to snort coldly. He didn't believe that Li Xin could wipe out the tribe in front of him with a thousand cavalry.But he didn't say anything, he just stood up and got out of Li Xin's big account.Just like what Li Xin said, Wu Xiang's escape made his face dull, so he didn't have the face to sit there and argue with Li Xin.

"This old man doesn't believe me, no matter what! As long as you speak up, I can subdue you." Li Xin looked at Zhang Chun's back with a smug expression on his face.Isn't it just a slow start to conquer a person?If I want to be famous, I don’t have fame, and if I want righteousness, I don’t have righteousness. But who is that Zhang Chun? He is a person who has been eroded by feudal Confucianism.But no matter what, as long as he speaks, it will be an improvement for Li Xin. I believe that as time goes by, Zhang Chun will still use it for himself in the end.

"This Li Xin really has the courage to order someone to pass a letter asking me to surrender?" In the big tent opposite, Gulu Siqibu looked at the handwriting in his hand, with an angry look on his face, more It's still sarcasm.

"Li Xin is extremely brave. Even the Qing Emperor was defeated by him. Fourteen Baylor and Big Brother have been defeated by him many times. Taiji better be careful." Qi Qige persuaded him.These days, Gulu Siqibu ordered people to collect information about Li Xin everywhere, and he was shocked when he saw it.Originally, Gulu Siqibu planned to lead the tribe to leave here, and even return to the original Horqin tribe!It's a pity that Li Xin led the army to kill him before he could do anything, and he also ordered someone to send such a letter of persuasion, which made Gulu Siqibu not calm.

"It's true that he is extremely brave, but don't forget that when Li Xin was able to defeat Fourteen Baylor and Big Brother, it was in Xishan, and Xishan was their territory. Naturally, Fourteen Baylor and Big Brother were not Li Xin's opponents. But it is different now, this is the grassland, our place, how can Li Xin be my opponent?" Gulu Siqibu showed a smug smile, and said to Qiqi: "You know Li Xin How many troops did he bring this time? No more than 1000. Hehe, it’s a big joke that he actually wants me to surrender with the 1000 troops in his hand. Hmph, if he can defeat Li Xin’s 1000 troops and If you kill Li Xin, I believe His Majesty the Emperor will reward me with the grasslands around the Zhuosutu League for thousands of miles, and maybe even make me king. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has a deep grudge against Li Xin. of."

"Then congratulations to Taiji." Qi Qige's eyes lit up, and he gave Gulu Siqibu a wink, which caused Gulu Siqibu to swallow.This Qiqige is a stunner, Gulu Siqibu couldn't bear Qiqige's teasing, for a while there were bursts of giggling in the whole big tent.In the dark night, such laughter spread far and wide.

And at this moment, in Beijing City, thousands of miles away from Li Xin's camp, in the inner imperial palace, countless imperial guards guarded the capital. Looking at the candlelight inside the hall, he seemed to see a young figure writing something at his desk, with a troubled look on his face.

"What time is it now?" Wang Chengen asked a servant he had recruited.

"Go back to godfather, it's almost three o'clock now." A handsome eunuch said quickly with a flattering smile on his face.

"Did the emperor turn over his cards today?" Wang Chengen asked again.

"Flipped Concubine Yuan's sign." The little eunuch said quickly.

"Hey!" Wang Chenen looked at the folder in his hand, with a complicated expression on his face, and sighed, "Why are there so many things about the country?"

"Godfather, did something serious happen at the border?" The little eunuch rolled his eyes and asked with a smile.

"A major incident happened at the border, and the border has won the battle." Wang Chengen said viciously.

"Then the emperor should be happy, why didn't the godfather present the good news to the emperor!" the little eunuch asked curiously.

"It's better not to win such a battle!" Wang Chengen waved his hand, thought for a while, and finally shook his head and walked in.But he ignored the surprised eyes of the little eunuch behind him.

"Your Majesty." But when Wang Chengen entered the study, he saw that Emperor Chongzhen was meticulously reviewing the memorial. It has to be said that Emperor Chongzhen was extremely diligent in governing, and Zhu Yuanzhang and others might not be able to match him in this regard.He even thought carefully about every word on the memorial.

"Cheng'en! A memorial is here." Emperor Chongzhen raised his head only now, but saw that his face was full of exhaustion, and he felt a few years older even with himself.

"Oh, congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty." Wang Chengen's complexion changed, and finally he still had a smile on his face, and said: "The frontier is a great victory, and Jiannu will not have the opportunity to go south again within ten years."

"Oh! Could it be that Zhang Chun defeated Jiannu?" Emperor Chongzhen suddenly thought of something, stood up and said, "I knew that Sun Chengzong would live up to my expectations. This is all right. Jiannu will not be defeated within ten years." Knowing how to herd horses in the Central Plains, I can also concentrate on dealing with those rogues." Emperor Chongzhen's face suddenly glowed, and he walked up and down in the hall.

"Your Majesty, here." Seeing Chongzhen's happy appearance, Wang Chengen felt even more embarrassed.

"What? It's not from Liaodong?" Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand with a gloomy expression. Wang Chengen didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly presented the memorial.Chongzhen hurriedly opened the memorial, and glanced over it, but his face was gloomy and uncertain.

"All the [-] troops were wiped out, even Zhang Chun was captured by Li Xin, and there were dozens of generals? This, this is also called the Great Victory in Liaodong?" Emperor Chongzhen's face was flushed with anger, his eyes were full of fierce light, vicious Looking at Wang Chengen.

"Returning to the emperor, it is a fact that Jiannu fled in embarrassment after being attacked by Li Xin. It is also a fact that after this battle, Jiannu's strength was greatly damaged and he did not dare to go south, so it can be called a great victory." Wang Chengen said hastily.

"Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen, now tens of thousands of soldiers in Liaodong have been wiped out, and Zhang Chun has been captured. With such a record, can we win the battle? At most, it is a loss for both sides." Emperor Chongzhen threw out the memorial in his hand, and hit Wang Chengen's head. But Wang Chengen didn't dare to dodge and stood there motionless.

"Where is Li Xin now? How could he alone, with more than 1 horsemen, destroy Jiannu and flee in embarrassment?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't wait to ask: "Didn't you say that Li Xin was recruited last time?" People, let them be incorporated into the Guanning Army? Does Li Xin dare to oppose my will? Does he also want to learn from Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong? See, he still wants me to redeem these generals. What is it for? It is useless at all, and I have ruined tens of thousands of troops, and I still have the face to come to my side to say something?"

"Returning to the emperor, Li Xin was originally unwilling to deal with the imperial court. Thinking about Li Gu back then, ahem, Zu Dashou later hosted Li Xin in Dalinghe City, but never thought that it was just a grand banquet. Zu Dashou's His son Zu Zerun entertained Li Xin secretly with poisoned wine and nearly poisoned Li Xin to death, but when Li Xin found out about it, he was angry and secretly made peace with Jiannu. "Wang Chengen quickly said: "I just don't know why, then Li Xinyou came back after killing him, just at the critical moment when Jiannu attacked our army, he came out from behind and defeated Jiannu in one fell swoop." It has to be said that the Ming Dynasty The spies of Dongchang, Xichang, and Jinyiwei are still very powerful, and the information Wang Chengen got is not much different from the facts.

"This damn Zu Dashou." Emperor Chongzhen said viciously, "I will definitely kill him."

"Your Majesty, there are few major generals in Liaodong now. Although Jiannu will not go south in a short time, but now there is another enemy, it's better to be careful." Only Wang Chengen can say this.

"Where is Li Xin now?" Emperor Chongzhen felt extremely aggrieved, but still asked with a sigh.

"Leading the army into the grassland." Wang Chengen quickly picked up the folder, handed it to Emperor Chongzhen, and said: "According to the news from Dongchang, Li Xin said that he wanted to be a Han hussar, and even he erected a monument for those soldiers." All of them have the words 'Han Li Xin' written on them."

"What a bold and reckless person." Emperor Chongzhen's face was cold, with a gloomy light in his eyes, but he still opened the memorial and read it slowly.

"Your Majesty, according to the news from the spies, Li Xin now has about 3 to [-] cavalry. These people are all cavalry. Li Xin is good at training soldiers. I believe that he will have [-] to [-] cavalry around him soon. "Wang Chengen said in a low voice.

"[-] to [-] iron cavalry." Emperor Chongzhen's face changed, it was more powerful than Guan Ning's cavalry, but unfortunately, this force was not for his own use.

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that Li Xin can be used." Wang Chengen glanced at Emperor Chongzhen, saw that his face was calm, and quickly said: "Since Li Xin wants to send troops to Guihua City, let him be a commander. Let him have a reputation. Anyway, on the grassland, it is mostly the strength of Lin Danhan and Jiannu. Let Li Xin and the others fight against each other. No matter which side wins, it will lose a lot of strength in the end, but my court can profit from it. .”

"Will Li Xin be willing?" Emperor Chongzhen frowned. Although this strategy was very good, it seemed that the court was also bowing to Li Xin.At this time, he regretted it very much. He should have promoted Li Xin to the rank, otherwise, he now has tens of thousands of cavalry under his command.
