"Yuan Zhi, although I, Li Xin, am not a good person, I will never betray my own nation. A person who will betray his own nation is definitely not a kind person. This Fan Yongdou is definitely a damned guy. Although we can't What will happen to them, but I believe that I will definitely eradicate these eight aristocratic families in the future." Li Xin said fiercely. , "My lord is right, my subordinates have long disliked these guys." Zhang Yifu nodded repeatedly and said: "These guys control all the items. If people like this subordinate want to deliver goods outside the customs, . They want to take 80% of the commission. If you don't agree, they won't do anything to you on the surface, but secretly, you will lose your life out of thin air. Over the years, I don't know how many traders have been like this. Bai was wiped out by these big families, and ended up with nothing but money. " "Does this mean these guys still have an army?" Li Xin's eyes lit up. "Not only do they have an army, they also have connections with the habitual bandits on the grassland. Otherwise, how can their goods be able to walk safely on the grassland?" Zhang Yifu said without thinking. "In that case, I will break one of their arms first. I want to see how these eight aristocratic families have the courage to escape from seclusion if these bandits are killed." Li Xin nodded. Thinking about the eight great aristocratic families, their wealth is as great as that of the country. The money in their families is probably more than that of Emperor Chongzhen's treasury. Emperor Chongzhen worked hard all day long for military pay, but in the eyes of the eight major families, maybe something dropped from between his fingernails could feed Emperor Chongzhen for a long time. "If that's the case, it doesn't matter." Shi Yuanzhi thought for a while, nodded, and said, "But the lord's attire may have to change, otherwise, the eight aristocratic families will definitely know the lord's identity. "That's natural." Li Xin nodded and suddenly said with a smile: "The people of the Zhuosuo Tu League were defeated by us, and there must be some remaining defeated soldiers. In this case, I, Li Xin, will pretend to be these defeated generals." Since he is a defeated general, he should naturally make a living by robbing the eight great families. They will have no choice but to consider themselves unlucky. " "Since he is a defeated general, he will not attract the attention of others. Those eight aristocratic families will definitely underestimate the lord. The lord can take the opportunity to show his talents." Shi Yuanzhi also laughed. "I wonder how my lord is going to leave? I heard that the imperial court has sent an imperial envoy to declare that my lord will be the prostitute and captain of the school." Zhang Yifu said with a low voice and a smile. "Whoring Captain Yao? Emperor Chongzhen really looks up to me." Li Xin was slightly startled. Finally he laughed and said. "Emperor Chongzhen naturally thinks highly of his lord, because the person who came to announce the decree this time was the eunuch Wang Chengen beside him. His subordinates heard that this Wang Chengen was Emperor Chongzhen's slave during his stay in Qidian, and he was loyal to Emperor Chongzhen. As for the so-called Cao Huachun, Gao Qiqian and others are not as important as Wang Chengen in Chongzhen's heart," Zhang Yifu explained with a smile. "You don't trust ministers, but you trust eunuchs. This emperor!" Li Xin shook his head, but finally said: "But, again, these ministers are not good people. Those who are greedy live for fear of death, and those who take bribes are corrupt. There are people who have connections with foreign countries. Even I would not trust them. Speaking of which, Chongzhen is really pitiful. His subordinates who have some talent are either driven to death by him or not. He is a blind person. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s their tragedy that such a powerful country was lost by these people. ¡°It is precisely because of Chongzhen¡¯s incompetence that the lord exists,¡± Shi Yuan laughed. Said: "If Taizu Chengzu was sitting in the world at this moment, how could my lord be where he is today." "Yes! The prosperity of a dynasty only lasted a few years. The so-called wealth cannot last more than three generations, and the same is true for the country. After three generations, no matter how powerful it is, The country will also decline." Li Xin thought for a while and said. "My lord, what should I do when Wang Chengen comes?" Zhang Yifu asked again. "Just do what you want, and the imperial edict will be followed. As for the other things, I say I don't know." Li Xin said without thinking: "We are on the grassland, how can we know everything that happens in the Central Plains. Yuan Zhi, don't you think so. " "What the Lord said is true." Shi Yuanzhi nodded. Both of them were smart people. Although Li Xin had some reputation in the entire Ming Dynasty, he was actually just a small figure. In the eyes of Chongzhen, there were 20,000 people. It's nothing at all, but for such a small force, Chongzhen sent his confidant eunuch here. It's possible that there is no mystery in it. But now, if Li Xin leaves Zhuosuo Tu League, then naturally it's the best. It is almost impossible for Wang Chengen to see what kind of person Li Xin is. "If this Wang Chengen came from Zhangjiakou, he might be able to meet the lord, but it's a pity"?, outside Zhangjiakou is the territory of the Mongols, so now Wang Chengen can only come from one place, and that is Shanhaiguan. By the time they arrive at Zhuosuotu, I am afraid that the lord will have already arrived at Zhangjiakou. "Zhang Yifu also nodded repeatedly. "No matter what, after I leave, you must stay at home. This is our foundation. Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Actually, I went to Zhangjiakou this time not only because I wanted to teach the eight aristocratic families a lesson, but also to see what was going on with the various tribes on the grassland." Although Jiannu is defeated now, he can only recuperate and recuperate, but I always feel that Jiannu will not give up here, and he will not let me develop my own power with peace of mind. " "Well, can Jian Nu come up with any other good ideas? If their subordinates guessed correctly, they must have been thinking of using a borrowed knife to kill people. "Shi Yuanzhi said disdainfully. "Oh! how do I say this? "Li Xin asked curiously. "Jiannu was defeated by the lord this time. His strength was greatly reduced, and his ability to control the eastern grasslands was also much smaller. Other tribes such as Horqin and Tuxietu followed Jiannu southward in recent years. Many times, I don¡¯t know how many benefits I got, and my strength increased a lot. On the grassland, most people worship strength. Whoever has a big fist will be respected. In the past, the power of the imperial court was strong, so they surrendered to the imperial court. This is how Guihua City came to be. Later, Lin Dan Khan became stronger and surrendered to Lin Dan Khan. After Lin Dan Khan's strength returned to the western grasslands, he surrendered to Jian Nu. The Jian Nu troops were greatly damaged. Presumably these tribes began to make moves again. . I'm afraid Jiannu also knew that he couldn't do anything to these guys in a short period of time, so he simply let go. For example, Huang Taiji would defeat or even eliminate the lord as a condition and canonize the winner as a khan. In this way, the entire Mongolian people will be enemies of the lord, thinking about how to get the lord's head, and the grassland will be in chaos. On the one hand, they will be thinking about how to deal with the lord, and on the other hand, they will also be thinking about how to deal with their own people. This side is the chaotic grassland, but on the other side, Jiannu is recuperating and recuperating. In the end, no matter who wins, his vitality will be severely damaged. It is only at this time that Jiannu can decide the world with one blow. "I have to say that although Shi Yuanzhi has never appeared in history, he has a good grasp of people's hearts. I don't know why such a person has not left a name in history, although I have never met Fan Wencheng and others. However, he made Fan Wencheng's plan clear and clear, which is not something that any wise man can say. "If this is the case, it will be detrimental to us! "Li Xin looked solemn and said: "Although we have elite soldiers and brave generals, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. I'm afraid our brothers are no match for these tiger and wolf things. " "Don't worry, my lord, not to mention that Huang Taiji's order to summon these people will take time, but also that these grassland tribe coalition forces will also need a certain amount of time. More importantly, such benefits must fall into their own hands. Why let them Who else will do this? Come to think of it, even if the coalition forces come, people must be divided. Such an army, based on the lord's bravery, will not take them to heart. To be the leader of each tribe, one must not only be brave, but also cunning. The lord can defeat Jiannu. Don't these guys think about the power of the lord? Whoever attacks first will definitely lose troops and generals. In this way, even if you want to attack the lord, you have to weigh it carefully. "Shi Yuanzhi said disdainfully. "Haha, what Yuanzhi said is true. Li Xin also nodded and said: "If Huang Taiji's elite soldiers, or Huang Taiji's leader, comes in person, I will definitely stay away, but if these Mongolian tribes' troops come, I will not be afraid no matter how many they come." " "My lord is absolutely right, no matter how many sheep there are, they are no match for the lion. "Shi Yuanzhi admired sincerely. "Actually, I want to see if Emperor Chongzhen would regret it if he knew about my current situation. "A strange light flashed across Li Xin's eyes. "If you don't know how to make good use of people, no matter how good your country is or what your status is, it will be of no use. "Shi Yuanzhi also sighed and said: "My lord is brave and invincible. Even if Chongzhen can use my lord in a short time, I am afraid that he will be more afraid than trusting him. Otherwise, he will not be named the prostitute Yao Xiaowei at this moment. According to the lord's instructions Merit, not to mention the general soldier, can also be made a marquis. It is a pity that Chongzhen does not know all this. " "never mind. Li Xin waved his hand and said, "I want to see if this Zhangjiakou is like the legend. Nearly half of the money in the entire Ming Dynasty will appear in this small Zhangjiakou." Are all houses made of gold? " "I wonder when my lord will set off? "Shi Yuanzhi asked quickly. "I'll leave overnight. Li Xin said without thinking: "The so-called military is valuable and quick. Although the eight great families are masters of making money, it is a pity that they do not understand military affairs. Like the civil servants in the imperial court, they all think they are Zhuge Liang."??, a person who thinks that money can buy everything and that everyone is a warrior is not enough for them to take seriously. Even I, Li Xin, in their eyes, am probably just a lucky person. The spies they sent out It was so easy for us to see through it. Why should I be so nervous about a person who even underestimates his opponents? I, Li Xin, like and am best at fighting, the bigger the more, Yuan Zhi, maybe when I come back, the soldiers and horses around me may still be above the old camp. " "Then I would like to congratulate my lord. "Shi Yuan said quickly with a smile on his face. "Jutu, prepare your troops and horses. Half are Mongolians and half are my guards. Everyone is dressed as Mongolians. Li Xin smiled and said: "I don't ride on my dark clouds to ride on the snow, nor do I use my Fangtian Huaji. I just choose a war horse and hold a big sword. I am a horse bandit, who should I be afraid of?" "
