Since Sun Chuanting came to Nanjing, he has always advocated that Mao Wenlong should not be allowed to continue like this, and has been saying that Mao Wenlong is a wolf's ambition and intends to plot against the Ming Dynasty. He also tried his best to persuade Chongzhen to take necessary precautions against Mao Wenlong.

Of course, Chongzhen was not willing to be subject to Mao Wenlong like this, but he understood that he was not capable of confronting Mao Wenlong at present. Now he still has a Nanjing to live in, or thanks to Mao Wenlong's blessing, it can be said that without Mao Wenlong, there would be no him Chongzhen today.

Since ancient times, the emperor's family has been the most ruthless, and this is not wrong at all. Chongzhen was grateful to Mao Wenlong for everything he had done for him, but he also couldn't tolerate him threatening himself and the Ming Dynasty like this.

In Chongzhen's opinion, at most, after he returned to power in the Ming Dynasty, he would not kill Mao Wenlong and would not care about the mistakes he had committed. Sealing him as an awakening prince and sending him to a remote place to support the elderly is enough to repay all the kindness that Mao Wenlong has given him now.

Chongzhen hated Mao Wenlong very much at the moment, but it didn't get to the point of asking for his life, his hatred only stayed on the surface. For this reason, although Chongzhen was eager to open the predicament in front of him, he had never blackmailed Mao Wenlong.

In the imperial study, after a moment of tranquility, Sun Chuanting arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, although Mao Wenlong has no sign of being the emperor yet, what he has done has already shown that he has at least the intention of dividing the entire north with the emperor. The Ming Dynasty must not fall into the hands of others, even if it is only half of it. ”

Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "I know all this, Aiqing doesn't need to say much. The key is that the current imperial court has no strength to resist Mao Wenlong, everything from money to grain and grass needs to be purchased from Mao Wenlong, and our lifeblood is completely controlled by him. In such a situation, you can tell me, what other way do we have to resist Mao Wenlong? ”

Sun Chuanting said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, we shouldn't put all our thoughts on Mao Wenlong. Obviously, we can't find anything to start with him right now, so we have to shift our focus and focus on what we can do to expand our strength. ”

After Chongzhen heard this, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "Go on." ”

Sun Chuanting no longer hesitated, and continued to say what he thought in his heart: "Mao Wenlong is currently impeccable, and we have no way to start. But we don't mean that there is no more opportunity, Huguang and Sichuan are both great opportunities for us at present, please don't miss the opportunity to strengthen the strength of the imperial court. ”

Chongzhen suddenly came to his senses: "What Aiqing said is extremely true, it is indeed that I got into the tip of the horns, and I almost delayed the national event. ”

Mao Wenlong is too powerful, and the current Chongzhen is not an opponent at all, but Huguang and Sichuan are places where the imperial court can expand at present. Moreover, you can also ask Mao Wenlong to send troops to help at a critical time, which is a good idea to kill two birds with one stone.

Chongzhen had an in-depth discussion with Sun Chuanting on the spot, and the two talked about the evening from the afternoon until late at night. During this period, Sun Chuanting proposed to swallow the unsuspecting King Fu first, and take his subordinates and soldiers and horses for himself. If it can succeed, then plan Sichuan.

At this point, Chongzhen began to shift his mind and gaze from Mao Wenlong's body to the entire south. The long-term plan gradually began to be perfected in the conversation with Sun Chuanting, and Chongzhen's long-suppressed ambition was once again stimulated.

On the icy and snowy grassland, there was a faint atmosphere of tension, and in the big tent of Huang Taiji, bursts of shouts and complaints continued to stir out, floating over the empty grassland.

The fire burning in the middle of the tent still couldn't dispel the cold and desperate heart of Wanyan Gusu who was kneeling on the ground. Not long ago, Huang Taiji received a reply from the spies, saying that the soldiers and horses who went to Liaodong were all wiped out.

After hearing the news, Huang Taiji was furious, and the little hope he had just ignited was then trampled on fiercely. For this reason, he also lost a confidant and a thousand carefully selected subordinates.

Thinking that the cause of all this was caused by the dejected face Gusu in front of him, Huang Taiji was even more angry.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Huang Taiji, who was furious, waved the leather whip he was holding tightly in his hand, and whipped Yan Gusu's body headlessly. Huang Taiji obviously went all out, and every whip was pumped to the end of the skin.

After more than a dozen whips in a row, Huang Taiji stopped panting. And Wanyan Gusu was already covered in blood at this moment, and his body was full of criss-cross and vertical and horizontal whip marks, and his skin was full of flesh marks, which looked quite terrifying.

Wanyan Gusu is indeed a tough guy, and after such a whipping, although he was in great pain, he never said a word. Gritting his teeth, he knelt straight and let Huang Taiji whip him.

Huang Taiji let out the sullenness in his heart, threw away the leather whip in his hand, sat on his throne, stared at a pair of fierce eyes, and shouted: "Before leaving, Ben Khan has been instructing not to mess around. It's good that you forgot Ben Khan's words as soon as you left, and now not only killed your brother, but also buried a thousand warriors of the steppe. Say, "What is the use of Ben Khan keeping you now?" ”

A trace of disbelief flashed in Wanyan Gusu's eyes, and he said unrepentantly: "Great Khan, when Gusu was here, there was no, and he also hunted a hundred Dongjiang troops. It was my brother's incompetence that gave the Dongjiang army a chance, and these mistakes cannot be blamed on my head. I hope that the Great Khan will give Gusu another chance, and let me lead a thousand generals to kill the Dongjiang army without leaving a single piece of armor. ”

Huang Taiji almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and it was obvious that the Wanyan Gusu in front of him didn't realize his mistake at all. Huang Taiji, who was angry at his head, didn't say a word, suddenly stood upright, pulled out a scimitar from the waist of the guard beside him, and the cold light flashed, and the scimitar was already on Wan Yan Gusu's neck: "You idiot, now you have killed so many people, you still die without repentance, don't admit your mistakes, right?" ”

In the face of the threat of death, the stubborn Wanyan Gu Su was not afraid at all, he still shook his head strongly and said: "Gu Su is not wrong, nor is he guilty. ”

Huang Taiji's eyes suddenly burst out, and the scimitar slashed through Wanyan Gusu's neck without hesitation, and the blood light suddenly appeared!

Wanyan Gusu only felt a slight pain in his neck, and then he began to lose more and more strength all over his body, and finally lay straight on the ground, with his eyes wide open, and he looked like he was dead.

After killing Yan Gusu, Huang Taiji left the big tent directly, and he swore viciously in his heart: "Mao Wenlong, sooner or later, the new hatred and the old hatred will be returned by this Khan ten times!" ”
