"Thank you for reminding me, sir." 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. "Good news, good news." At this time, the sound of horse hooves came over, and everyone's expressions changed. They all looked at the entrance of the government office to see who was so bold to shout out the good news at this time. This is nothing but a slap in the face. "Good news, Lord Superintendent, Jianu has withdrawn his troops." The soldier who sent the order obviously did not notice the atmosphere in the hall, but said loudly. "Jiannu retreated?" Sun Chengzong stood up suddenly. The Ming army was defeated in this battle and lost countless soldiers, horses and equipment. Even in Jinzhou City, there were only a few defeated soldiers. If Jiannu took the opportunity to attack, he really didn't know what to do. ? It's all right now, Jiannu has withdrawn his troops. But why did Jiannu retreat? "Our army was defeated, why did Jiannu retreat?" Qiu Hejia seemed to have thought of something, and stood up and asked excitedly. "Jiannu suffered numerous casualties and was defeated by General Li Xin. Of course he retreated." The spy showed a hint of surprise on his face and said: "It is said that the slave chief Hongtai was seriously injured by General Li. Tens of thousands of his troops were lost, and General Li After leading the army in pursuit for more than a hundred miles, Jiannu did not dare to go south. " Everyone in the hall was shocked by the spies' words. The boss was open-mouthed, looking like he was in disbelief. Even Sun Chengzong was also the boss. In the end, he didn't care about his demeanor and ran out quickly. Qiu Hejia and others seemed to understand, and they rushed out of the hall. After a while, dozens of civil servants and generals were seen running away on horseback. The Daling River flew away. Obviously these people still don't believe it. In the evening, everyone rushed to Daling River City, and they saw corpses all over the ground, all of which were the corpses of the slave-building army. On one side of the battlefield, there were two huge tombs with the words "Fourth Year of the Chongzhen Period of the Ming Dynasty" written on them. , the tomb of the soldiers who died for the country. "Li Xinli of the Han Dynasty." 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 the slaves and collected the remains of more than 10,000 Mongolian soldiers here." "On October 18th, the fourth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Li Xin of the Han Dynasty destroyed the slaves here. The slave chief Huang Taiji was defeated." A huge wooden board stood on the battlefield. Sun Chengzong could see it clearly at a glance, and even said softly. He 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 been wary of Li Xin, but in the end, the dragon was the dragon, and it was not what Qiu Hejia could do. He didn't know how many troops Li Xin led to stop him, but no matter what, Li Xin defeated Jiannu and defeated the court's biggest enemy at once. This may be an unprecedented victory since Yuan Chonghuan. "He really was defeated by him." Sun Chengzong was extremely upset. Li Xin only had a few men and more than 10,000 people, but he was able to defeat tens of thousands of slaves. Although there were some Mongolian soldiers here, the soldiers of the slaves always accounted for the majority. . According to intelligence, Jiannu led an army of fifty thousand soldiers south. With the subsequent increase in troops and horses, there were at least sixty or seventy thousand troops. Such strength was actually defeated by Li Xin. Such a military prodigy missed the Ming Dynasty. "Li Xin of the Han Dynasty." Qiu Hejia said these three words softly. What Li Xin said was not "Li Xin of the Ming Dynasty" but "Li Xin of the Han Dynasty", which explained his attitude. "Supervisor, we have won." Song Wei said softly to Sun Chengzong. "We didn't win, it was Li Xin who won." Sun Chengzong shook his head and said bitterly: "Can Li Xin's soldiers and horses be found? Can his camp be found?" "I'm afraid Li Xin has left." At this time, Zu Dashou Fei When the horse came, I saw a letter in his hand, which he handed to Sun Chengzong respectfully. "What is this?" Sun Chengzong asked curiously. "This was found in a dilapidated camp in the distance." Zu Dashou pointed into the distance. Everyone looked and saw a small camp in the distance. When everyone felt it, they realized that the camp was actually quite big. It's just that all the other camps have been demolished, leaving only a small tent here. Traces of the surrounding chaos can also be seen around it. Obviously the army has withdrawn, and the tents left behind are probably waiting for everyone. "This Li Xin is really hateful." When Qiu Hejia and others were about to ask, they heard Sun Chengzong's face turned red and he was cursing. "Master Supervisor," Qiu Hejia said with some displeasure. "This Li Xin really has the courage of a leopard. He not only gathered the defeated soldiers of the imperial court, but also brought together Zhang Chunlao, the governor, Zhang Hongmo, deputy general Yang Huazheng, Xue Dahu Manku and participating generals, guerrillas, Dusi, garrison, and preparations. There were more than 30 generals including Yu and Qian, and then they used these to threaten me and ask me to send all the families of those soldiers away.?him. Moreover, troops are not allowed to be stationed within a hundred miles around Daling River City. It's ridiculous, ridiculous, what does he want to do? " Sun Chengzong was yelling at the side. He was breathing heavily. The generals around him didn't dare to speak. They kept silent. At this time, no one dared to speak. "Tens of thousands of Jiannu were defeated by Li Xin like this. I in Liaodong will no longer have to worry about slave invasion in ten years. "Qiu Hejia on the side said softly. Sun Chengzong's expression changed after hearing this, but he sighed in the end. I have to say that what Qiu Hejia said makes sense. Li Xin defeated Jiannu with an army of more than ten thousand, and Jiannu's strength was greatly reduced. There were countless casualties, and I am afraid that he would not dare to invade the south within ten years. Such achievements are real. I believe that soon, this matter will spread throughout China, and the burden on Liaodong will be reduced a lot. However, what he did made Sun Chengzong extremely angry. "Of course, the emperor will judge the merits and demerits of right and wrong. Sir, this matter is of great importance, so I'd better ask His Majesty for instructions! "Zu Dashou's face was complicated. He had been in Liaodong for so many years and had followed Yuan Chonghuan. Compared with back then, Jiannu's strength was many times stronger. Although he had Ning Tieqi in hand, he did not dare to offend Jiannu easily. Not to mention defeating Jiannu, but Li Xin has only been out for a long time, and he is only a teenager. He can defeat Jiannu with 10,000 troops. Now he doesn¡¯t know how many troops he has gathered, and what trouble will happen in the future. People don¡¯t know how the court will deal with this matter. It is better to leave this matter to His Majesty. I believe that the various guilds in the imperial court made the decision. "Sun Chengzong suddenly thought of his situation. He really didn't know what to do. Whether this battle was a great victory or a great defeat, Sun Chengzong suddenly became confused. "Sir, why are you still looking so sad after winning the battle? "Qiu Hejia asked with a smile. "Did we win this battle? "Sun Chengzong looked around, but saw everyone lowered their heads. Sun Chengzong sighed again and said: "This matter is of great importance. Maybe it has spread to the capital by now. Then Li Xin is extremely treacherous. How could he give up such an opportunity? , those generals were his bargaining chips with the imperial court, and this battle was also given to the imperial court by him. The Emperor may have known about the situation here for a long time. Even if you want to take credit, it may not be possible. " "What the Superintendent said is wrong! No matter who fought the battle or defeated Jiannu, it is a fact that at least Jiannu did not dare to herd horses in the Central Plains for 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 Jian Nu with such a small number of troops. The general believes that Li Xin must have chosen a Good timing, or the result of a sneak attack, no matter which one it is, has a lot to do with our cooperation, so this battle seems to be done by Li Xin alone, but in fact, the credit is half of it. " "Yes, yes, what Zujunmen said is true. "When the generals heard the words, they all nodded one after another, with a proud look on their faces. "Xianzhi, what do you think? "Sun Chengzong pondered for a long time and asked Qiu Hejia on the side. "I think what Zujunmen said is true. Otherwise, Li Xin would not have achieved such a record. "Qiu Hejia thought for a while and nodded. Although such a thing is a bit far-fetched, but if you think about it carefully, Zu Dashou's words are not unreasonable. Thinking about how great such a military exploit is, Li Xin alone cannot enjoy it. Since In this case, it is better to give some to the generals, so that I, the governor of Liaodong, can take advantage of it. "The merits and demerits of the merits will be judged by future generations. It is useless for us to say it here. Sun Chengzong suddenly sighed and said, "The key is to see what the emperor says." Here, Li Xin told me that he wanted to build Guihua City. " "Guihua City? That¡¯s Lin Dan Khan¡¯s place! What does he want to do? "Qiu Hejia's expression changed and he asked in surprise. "You used to say that Li Xin was ambitious, but now it seems that he has such a broad mind that even I can't match it! Sun Chengzong threw the letter in his hand to Qiu Hejia and said: "The tombstone he erected says 'Li Xin of the Han Dynasty', which shows his thoughts. He wanted to be a figure like a Han Hussar, so he He will lead nearly 20,000 troops deep into the grassland. He wants to fight Lin Dan Khan and sweep the grassland by the way. Weaken the strength of Jiannu. Every time Jiannu goes south, on the one hand, there are mostly female Manchus, and on the other hand, there are Mongolian soldiers and horses following them. If the Mongolian soldiers are destroyed, then the strength of Jiannu will be greatly weakened. Li Xin is the hero of the country! What a pity. What a pity. " "Sir, what should we do? "Qiu Hejia showed a hint of displeasure on his face. "The key to this matter depends on what the emperor says. After this battle, the best result for me is to resign and return home, so I am going to send this letter to the emperor. Please ask the emperor to give Li Xin an official title. Li Xin is such a heroic figure and cannot be allowed to deal with the Mongolian tribes alone. In recent years, whether it is Lin Dan Khan or the Mongolian tribes, they have often harassed the border. If Li Xin can pacify the grassland, it will be good for me. For Ming Dynasty, this is a great achievement. ¡±?Chengzong looked to the west, as if he could see Li Xinzheng leading an army across the grassland.
