    "Liaohai has been frozen?" In the study, Wen Tiren was slightly stunned and stared at Tang Baocheng, who was sitting next to him, who nodded slightly.  "My lord said that if my lord is willing to go to Liaodong to take care of his old age, he will take Port Arthur and go up and down to welcome him." Tang Baocheng said again. "Wen Tiren was lost for a moment, but soon regained his consciousness. He shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Even Zhixian saw it.  It turns out that my downfall is imminent." Tang Baocheng raised his hand and said, "There may be no reason for the rumors. Donglin and the eunuchs have joined forces, and the boss is unable to survive alone. Why not retreat bravely when the opportunity arises? Why wait for him to issue an eviction order before leaving?" Wen Tiren sighed.  In his tone, he murmured: "Success is also in Donglin, failure is also in Donglin, God's will is like this, what can I say?" Tang Baocheng smiled slightly and said: "Gathering and dispersing are unpredictable, spreading is orderly, the boss has devoted his whole life for the country, why bother to give up a little  Don't worry about trivial matters. How can you not deal with them? " Wen Tiren laughed, pointed at Tang Baocheng and said with a smile: "You do know how to say some words according to the occasion, I am not a reluctant person. It's rare that Yang Bo still has some filial piety, so he is willing to do so.  Take me in, a poor old man like me." Unexpectedly, Tang Baocheng suddenly kowtowed to the ground and said, "My lord, please forgive me for being rude. I have an unkind request, but I hope you will forgive me." Wen Tiren remained calm.  After staring at Tang Baocheng coldly for a long time, he said, "Since it's an unkind invitation, it's okay not to say anything." Tang Baocheng froze for a moment, then kowtowed and calmly sat down, without even mentioning the request just now. Tang Baocheng was young and had such scheming intentions.  It was so profound that even Wen Tiren was a little surprised.  "My lord also specifically told me that I have nothing to resolve. As long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water without hesitation." Tang Baocheng said again.  Wen Tiren stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I know how to repay my kindness in time. It's not a waste of time for me to support him, but he sent you to be a lobbyist because he wanted the old man to get out of the way early so as not to be troubled in the capital."  Your eyes?" Just as Tang Baocheng was about to answer, Wen Tiren waved his hand and said: "The Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, and I know better than anyone that there are still some soldiers and horses in the northern state capital who can barely keep up. The rogue bandits have become a prairie fire, and the imperial treasury is in trouble.  Empty. People who work hard are repeatedly criticized, and people who boast are just trying to show off, and chaos is about to happen. I don¡¯t need to say anything if I know that I have great ambitions. I just hope that he can save some energy for the country in the future, right?  He knelt down in front of Wen Tiren again and kowtowed twice respectfully.  Wen Tiren sighed: "If I resist hard, the end result is nothing more than losing both sides. It is better to take the initiative to retreat and save the ministers. A good story. The only people I can't worry about are Yan Kunzhi and Xue Guoguan. Yan Kunzhi is mature and prudent.  He was a famous general at that time, but he had a strong ambition for power. I was still trying to keep him safe. If I retreated, I was afraid that he would end up defending the border." Tang Baocheng did not raise his head, but listened quietly.  "Fortunately, there is Zhixian who can support him. Lushun will not fall for a day. Yan Kunzhi is just suffering some hardships. He pretends that his life is not in danger. Alas, I took the initiative to beg for his return. In order to appease people's hearts, Your Majesty will definitely push Xue Guoguan up.  , this person is loyal but not savvy, he is less suspicious and more judgmental, and I am afraid he will end up in the most miserable situation in the future. If he does get to that point, I hope Zhixian will save him for my sake.  " Tang Baocheng nodded: "I will definitely tell you what the elder has told you." Wen Tiren looked a little tired, waved his hand and said: "You go ahead, fight for rice, and raise rice for hatred. Why should I go to Lushun to make Zhixian uncomfortable?  ? When Your Majesty agrees to my begging to return, we will go south and north. If God favors me and allows me to live a few more years, let¡¯s see how this unpredictable situation changes!¡± ¡°Is the Liaohai Sea frozen?¡±  His face was hesitant as he stared at the envoy sent back by Zu Keyong.  "Go back to the Marshal. The Liaohai Sea is frozen. The young master is worried about the inconvenience in the communication of news, so he ordered the villain to bring back a secret letter in advance, saying that he must personally show it to the Marshal." After saying that, he took the detailed work from the gap of the cotton-padded jacket.  He produced a letter covered with fire paint and presented it to Zu Dashou.  Zu Dashou tore open the envelope several times, with a gloomy expression on his face. After reading it, he said to Xizuo: "I know, please step back." After Xizuo left, a black figure flashed out and whispered to Zu Dashou:  "Commander, what do you think?" Zu Dashou was upset and thrust the letter into his hand and said, "Read it for yourself." Wu Xiang took the letter and wrote more than a dozen words in the letter, which were eloquent, profound and profound. The most important thing is actually the last one.  Two sentences: "My nephew concluded based on his observations over the past few days that firstly, Jiannu will be defeated, and secondly, Lushun is invincible." Wu Xiang rolled his eyes, immediately tore up the letter, bowed to Zu Dashou and said:  "Commander, my eldest uncle is young and ignorant. He likes to talk the most on weekdays. How can he watch all the important national events in just a few days? A certain person usually has many things.My love, my upbringing is not strict, I hope the commander will forgive me.  " Zu Dashou snorted, but said nothing. Yang Bo wanted to be a warlord like him. Everyone knew that the only people in the Ming Dynasty who could deal with Guan Ning's army were the soldiers and horses of Lushun. The original sending of envoys was just a kind of speculation to ease the relationship with Lushun.  It was just a layout of the relationship. Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui had only been there for a few days and realized that Hou Jin would be defeated. This judgment shocked Zu Dashou. Lushun's strength expanded rapidly, starting from the stationing in Lushun, and then regaining Jinzhou.  It began to fight with the Tartars on the front line in Fuzhou. In just one or two years, its power has expanded to the central Liaocheng area. According to detailed reports lurking in Lushun, the number of military households in the Jinzhou Isthmus has exceeded 300,000, and soldiers are mobilizing.  After that, it could quickly reach the scale of 30,000. Zu Dashou also heard that this was still a battle with the Tartars for many years. Due to the lack of food and grass equipment, if Lushun defeated the Tartars and recuperated for a period of time, Zu Dashou hesitated.  Jue, he knew that everything Wu Sangui said was true. In fact, the weakest in the Liaodong Three Kingdoms was his Guan Ning army, which could not be defeated, and the sphere of influence of the Zujia army was in the gap between the Tartars and the Ming Dynasty. Regardless of  It is difficult enough to maintain the situation as it is now, but if Wu Sangui's judgment is correct, they will soon face the threat of Lushun. In the past two years, Zu Dashou has thought about it and worked hard. "Fortunately, he has aged a lot.  I sent my eldest uncle on an envoy, and with him in Lushun, everything can change" Zu Dashou put his hand on his forehead and said something Wu Xiang couldn't understand. "The Liaohai Sea has been frozen?  "Emperor Chongzhen's hand shook, and a ball of ink dripped on the memorial he reviewed. The dazzling red made him feel dizzy. Wang Chengen hunched over and whispered: "Yes, the Liaohai Sea is frozen, and Yangguanbao has cut off traffic.  A decisive battle is inevitable.  "Although it was warm inside Xinuang Pavilion, all the people who served felt that Emperor Chongzhen's expression was like a cold wind blowing on his face. "Yes, it's going to be a decisive battle. Who will win?  "Emperor Chongzhen sighed softly. He simply put the ink pen on the pen holder. Compared with the decisive battle in Liaodong, the urgent memorials on the imperial court and the rogue bandits from all over the city and territory were nothing. Wang Chengen bit the bullet and said carefully: "  Lushun can fight but has few soldiers.  The Eight Banners of Dongnu gathered together, but were repeatedly defeated by Yang Bo. Both sides were evenly matched. The slave thought that no matter who won or lost, they would suffer heavy losses or even be devastated. Is this also a happy event for our Ming Dynasty?  " Wang Chengen's words made Chongzhen's originally closed brows become slightly more cheerful. He nodded and said, "When will Zu Dashou send out troops?  " Wang Chengen did not dare to hide it. He whispered: "The Ministry of War has issued a document, but Zu Dashou shirks it again.  It is said that the weather is freezing and the military pay is insufficient. So far, Wu Xiang's troops have arrived at Xiping Fort.  " Emperor Chongzhen snorted and said: "Zhang Fengyi is fatuous and incompetent. You go and pass on my instructions and ask him to beg for his bones. I will not condemn him, but I will show my shame and save some face between the monarch and his ministers." Chongzhen said again: "Jian  The slaves were rampant and the Liao Dynasty was ruined. Yan Kunzhi, the governor of Jiliao, could not blame him. Changping rebelled. Yan Kunzhi suppressed all the troops and refused to send troops to put down the rebellion. He also negotiated with the Changping rebels in private. He was an unpardonable crime. He wore a royal guard and a lock.  Bring it to the capital for discussion" Wang Chengen felt a chill in his heart, his knees softened, and he knelt down involuntarily, hissing: "Please, Grandpa Huang, please think twice, think twice?  "Emperor Chongzhen said with an expressionless face: "I ordered Wen Tiren to go to the palace tonight to play the right song, go ahead" "Has the Liaohai Sea been frozen?  "In Tangtong's camp, a man pretending to be a soldier said in a high voice, "The decisive battle is about to begin." Lao Pao nodded silently and sighed: "What a pity, I can't wait to fly to Mopan City, even if I go into battle to kill the enemy as a soldier.  ah?  Zong Yuanfang patted Lao Pao on the shoulder sympathetically and said: "Forget it, our family's fortune and life are all dependent on you in Lushun. It's useless to think too much at this time. Have you made arrangements for your arrival in the city tonight?"  " Old Pao nodded: "Everything has been arranged. Brothers are dispersed to each camp, and we will start setting fires together when the signal is given." Zong Yuanfang immediately interrupted Lao Pao and asked: "What our family is concerned about is Wang Zhaokun, those guys from the Wei State,  Are you sure you can catch them?  Only by catching them and breaking the court's blockade would Changping have room for bargaining.  " Lao Pao said with relief: "Don't worry, Mr. Zong. Not only the capital, but also Tianjin, Shanxi, and the Foreign Affairs Department in Beizhili have sent manpower. As long as the besieging army is defeated, we will release some dignitaries to come out and speak out. Under the strong pressure of public opinion,  Come on, don't worry about the court not being soft.  Zong Yuanfang stared at Lao Pao with interest: "Don't worry about that little monkey. Hey, let's ask you again, do you really believe what that little monkey says?"  " Lao Pao seemed a little embarrassed, but finally nodded "The Liaohai Sea is frozen?  "Yunniang, who was more than nine months pregnant, was slightly shocked when she received the news.??.  "I don't know what happened to that guy. He didn't come home for two months once he left." Chen Bilian, who moved in with Yun Niang, said angrily.  Yun Niang glanced at the complaining Chen Bilian, who immediately shut her mouth.  "Come on, let's go to the Senate." Yun Niang handed her hand to Chen Bilian and motioned to several maids to help her get up.  "Sister, you are heavy. It's raining and snowing outside, so why don't you go?" Seeing Yun Niang's clumsy look, Chen Bilian advised her.  Yun Niang shook her head and gently stroked the restless little guy who was punching and kicking in her belly. Under the comfort of her mother, the little guy calmed down. Then Yun Niang said with a smile: "The decisive battle is about to break out. Lushun cannot be leaderless. We can't be leaderless."  We need to calm people's hearts at this time." Chen Bilian still didn't know and didn't want to: "With the old Hongyi in charge of the Senate, Han Yao'er, and Zhang Yan Wang, there won't be any trouble. Besides, there is a lot of chaos everywhere right now, so we still have to do it.  Don't go and cause trouble for them, right?" Yun Niang motioned to the maid to put on a big cloak, and shook her head: "They don't have enough prestige to control the situation" On January 20, the eighth year of Chongzhen, a surprise fell from the sky, and Huang Taiji received it.  Huang Taiji didn't even think about the decisive battle book that Yang Bo shot down from the city. He picked up a red pen and carefully wrote the big blood-red characters "Aixinjueluo*Huang Taiji" on it. That night, all the Eight Banners broke camp and retreated towards Fuzhou.  About five miles away (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
