"Yes, General Zhang, now that we have returned to Jinzhou, it is safe. Now we really want to hear about the situation in Daling River City!" Zhang Chun also nodded. "Yes." After Zhang Cunren sat down, he said: "We are stationed in Dalinghe City under the orders of the Governor. Hey, if Mr. Li hadn't sent out a surprise attack, I'm afraid none of us would be able to come back. Even if we weren't built, Killed by slaves, they will eventually starve to death." Everyone couldn't help but groaned after hearing this, but they soon understood that the food and grass in Dalinghe City had long been consumed without a trace. "There is a shortage of food in your city, how come you are able to sustain it until now?" Qiu Hejia looked stunned, but then asked. "We eat everything we can." Zhang Cunren seemed to have thought of something, his face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair. He said softly: "I am waiting for more than 13,800 people, and there are more than 20,000 servants and merchants. In the end, our army only has 8,000 soldiers and horses left, and only a few civilians can survive." Only a few thousand people. The rest will either die in the battle or else." "Hey! Stop talking." Sun Chengzong seemed to have thought of something, his face turned pale, and he held his withered right hand tightly and lowered his head. It seemed that he was enduring great pain. In fact, not only Sun Chengzong knew what was going on, but other people could also vaguely guess the problem. Apart from the people who were killed, I am afraid there were more Eaten by these Guan Ning cavalry. Finally, Zhang Cunren said: "Last night I went to the military gate and saw the chaos in the Jiannu camp. I thought it was our reinforcements that had arrived, so he led us to rush out so that we could cooperate with the reinforcements inside and outside and eliminate the Jiannu in one fell swoop. But what I didn't expect was that this was just the Jiannu camp. One of Nu Hongtai's plots was to lure us out so that we could be annihilated. Haha, what I didn't expect was that Mr. Li's magical power used a trick of suspicion to defeat Jian Nu in one fell swoop and saved us. " " Where are the remaining civilians now?" Sun Chengzong sighed: "I feel sorry for them and let them suffer. I will reward them heavily." "They were saved by Master Li because they were taken from Jiannu. I had a lot of food and grass, so I followed Mr. Li to the Western Mountains," Zhang Cunren said with his head lowered. Everyone sighed after hearing this. I am afraid that this is not only because Li Xin has food, but more importantly, in Dalinghe City, these Guan Ning cavalry offended these people in order to eat people, causing these people not to dare. He stayed with the soldiers of Ming Dynasty, so he left with Li Xin. "General Zhang just said that thanks to Mr. Li's rescue, I have something to say that I don't know whether to ask or not." At this time, a clear voice came. Everyone looked and saw that the man had not just been promoted to guerrilla. Who is General Wu Sangui? "I wonder what the young general wants to ask?" Zhang Cunren frowned, obviously very unhappy with Wu Sangui's question, but he had to agree. In fact, he didn't know Wu Sangui was panicking at the moment. If Li Xin could rely on With the credit back this time, the original killing of Azig may be exposed. Li Xin could not have done it alone. But at that time, Li Xin was not the only one who saw this scene. It simply cannot withstand investigation. If the crime of pretending to be a military leader is really pursued, Wu Sangui will shed his skin even if he does not die. Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, Li Xin absolutely cannot return to Jinzhou. "Young Master Li is so brave. I wonder if he could fight into the slave army all by himself and defeat Mrs. Hong?" Wu Sangui asked with a smile. "It's not that Young Master Li is very brave, but it is impossible for one person to defeat an army of tens of thousands." Zhang Cunren said without thinking, "Young Master Li's soldiers and horses are extremely strong, and there are nearly a thousand cavalry among them. "There are more than a thousand infantrymen. It takes more than two thousand soldiers and horses to push back Jian Nu." Two thousand troops. This is a major event for our Ming Dynasty!" Wu Sangui couldn't help but sneered: "But what does it mean for him to command the army in this capacity?" "Major General Wu, what do you mean? No matter how stupid Zhang Cunren was, he understood that Wu Sangui in front of him was slandering Li Xin, and he sneered: "Young General, I'm afraid you don't know yet! Mr. Li had merit in building Daling River City, so the military sect asked him to do so." Your Majesty exempted Mr. Li from the crime, but Dalinghe City was trapped and the memorial could not be delivered. Later, because Mr. Li was good at training troops, he asked him to select the best among the able-bodied civilians for training. When the war came, Mr. Li was ordered by the army to break out of the siege and take up residence in Xishan, forming a powerful force with Dalinghe City to harass the slave-building army. It can be said that the charges mentioned by the young general do not exist at all. "Wu Sangui heard this. I was angry and angry, I didn't expect that my uncle would make such a decision. In fact, it¡¯s no wonder that Zu Dashou, Zu DashouHe gave this reason just to share Li Xin's achievements openly and honestly. He never thought that his nephew actually had a problem with Li Xin and wanted to use this person to slander Li Xin. But now after Zhang Cunren said this. Not only was Li Xin blameless, but he also had great merit. "Anyway, Li Xin committed a serious crime by using himself as a criminal to recruit troops." Wu Xiang, who was on the side, naturally knew what his son meant. At this time, he also said: "If everyone in the world were like Li Xin, Then our Ming Dynasty is full of wars? This kind of thing is unacceptable. The commander-in-chief thinks that Li Xin should be arrested and sent to the capital for interrogation. " "Hmph, General Wu, you go now. Arrest him!" Qiu Hejia looked gloomy. On the one hand, he was dissatisfied with Li Xin's decision without informing him earlier. Otherwise, the matter would have been handled properly. On the other hand, he was targeting the Wu family and his son. , these two guys are not good people. At this time, after temporarily repelling the slaves, these two guys started making trouble together. They were joking, going to capture Li Xin, not to mention how many soldiers and horses Li Xin had, tens of thousands of them When he is angry, what will happen if he joins forces to build slaves and capture Daling River City? He even doesn't need to join forces to build slaves and directly invades Daling River City. By that time, Ming Dynasty Liaodong will have another powerful force. "However, Lord Supervisor, although Li Xin's move is excusable, it is not advisable." Song Wei also said: "Such a great achievement must not be unrewarded, but such a serious crime must not be punished. The general will think that Supervisor Your Excellency, I will pardon Li Xin's guilt with this great achievement." Song Wei's light words seemed to resolve the dispute between the two, but in fact, they completely stripped away Li Xin's credit. Li Xin was still a commoner, leading two thousand elites. He had no reputation and still rebelled. This Song Wei is obviously on Wu Xiang's side. "Huh." Qiu Hejia's face turned cold when he heard this. "This matter is of great importance. It is better to report it to the emperor and let the emperor handle it!" Sun Chengzong was not sure about paying attention for a while. Although he personally wanted to reward Li Xin with this great contribution, Wu Xiang and others said it made sense. If Everyone is like Li Xin, how should the world deal with it? More importantly, Wu Xiang and others are in charge of the army, and Sun Chengzong still needs them in the upcoming war. "General, I will obey the order." Wu Xiang and others said quickly. Even Qiu Hejia had to accept the order. "Haha! Now that Zujunmen and Li Xin have temporarily repelled Jiannu, there is no danger in Dalinghe City for the time being. Governor Qiu, grain, grass and equipment must be transported to Dalinghe City as soon as possible. No more tragedies can happen to Dalinghe City. Yes." Sun Chengzong warned Qiu Hejia. "Your Majesty, I obey." Qiu Hejia thought for a while and asked, "Don't you know Li Xin's troops and horses?" "Li Xin's troops and horses are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, how can they eat the food and grass of the imperial court?" Wu Xiang looked gloomy and snorted coldly. said. Since he has offended Qiu Hejia, he might as well offend him to death. He has soldiers in his hands, how can he be afraid of Qiu Hejia? "This?" Sun Chengzong also looked embarrassed. He looked at Zhang Chun with help-seeking eyes. It must be said that Wu Xiang, a military commander, was different from other generals in that he put things to the point. Li Xin's soldiers and horses are not affiliated with the Ministry of War, and of course they are not eligible to enjoy the court's food and grass. "Master Supervisor, now most of our army's food and grass are transferred from the Central Plains. The food and grass are already scarce when they reach Songshan. It is already difficult to supply our army. If it is supplied to friendly troops, it will be even more difficult." Zhang Chun's face showed a hint of confusion. Come sadly. As a supervisor of the army, he must go to Daling River City this time because he needs the troops and horses under Wu Xiang and others to contribute, so this move is helpless. "Okay!" Sun Chengzong became even more depressed. He believed that after this move, Li Xin became more repulsive to the court, and the sadness in his heart became even greater. Such a talented person was squeezed away like this. He glanced at Qiu Hejia aside, and saw Qiu Hejia's face was gloomy, with a sarcastic look on his lips, and he felt even more helpless. "Dalinghe City has to be defended. Jiannu was defeated this time. Our army happened to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. Zhang Chun immediately led 40,000 troops and immediately went to Dalinghe City to deal with Hongtai together. Hum, if Hongtai can be annihilated Under Dalinghe City, all of you are worthy ministers of our Ming Dynasty." Sun Chengzong burst out laughing, and everyone nodded. There were bursts of laughter throughout the White Tiger Hall, but Qiu Hejia's face was full of sarcasm. After a while, Sun Chengzong discussed with everyone how to march, how to fight, and how to cooperate before the generals left the hall. For a time, there were only three people in the entire lobby: Sun Chengzong, Qiu Hejia, and Zhang Chun. All three of them were sitting there without speaking. "Hey, it's a pity that such a young talent is excluded by us." Zhang Chun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I really don't know what kind of reaction Mr. Li will have after hearing this news."
