However, when he heard Ma Fang, his heart couldn't help but tighten. Of course, he knew how powerful Ma Fang was, compared to the Japanese in the south and the Tartars in the north, they were not at the same level at all. If you rebel and confront Ma Fang, you may not be able to take advantage.

In fact, he may not be able to take the advantage, it is he who puts gold on his face, and he knows very well in his heart that his war against the Japanese Kou over the years is really not a big battle. And Ma Fangna is the big battle. Hundreds of thousands of troops are often opposed, and that is handsome. He, Hu Zongxian, had never commanded such a campaign and had no experience in this area. And his subordinates have no experience in this area, which is weakness.

Moreover, he knew in his heart that Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang were definitely diehard loyalists of the Ming Dynasty, and once he rebelled, these two people would definitely not follow him. The only thing he can do is to kill Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang. But by killing these two people, the combat power of these two armies is bound to be greatly reduced.

"Alas......" Hu Zongxian couldn't help but sigh and said, "No, you should know my brother's current situation, right?" ”

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said: "Xu Jie said from his private part that he has a grudge against you, after all, it was you who unilaterally tore up the agreement with Xu Jie. On the public side, after the extermination of the Japanese Bandits, your brother has indeed reached the end of the momentum. Third, Xu Jie's current situation is not good, and he also needs to take advantage of you. And the other cabinet Gao Gong, who has no grudge against you in his private parts, but in the public side, he looks down on your various mistakes, and the evidence is conclusive, he hates a warlord like you, so he must maintain a tacit understanding with Xu Jie, targeting you. ”

Hu Zongxian's face showed anger and said: "I, Hu Zongxian, have worked hard to exterminate the Japanese bandits, is all this the way to die?" ”

"Actually, it's not that complicated!" Luo Xin sighed lightly and said, "The Japanese have been exterminated, and His Majesty once summoned you back to the court, but you refused. It was you who let yourself fall into this field. ”

"But when I went back at that time, I was just shelved."

"But you don't even have a chance to put it on the shelf now."

Luo Xin didn't fool Hu Zongxian, and people like this couldn't fool him, so Luo Xin simply told the truth. If Hu Zongxian is really the opposite, he is not afraid. One-on-one with Hu Zongxian, Hu Zongxian is really not his opponent, if Hu Zongxian greets his subordinates, he is not without subordinates, and Hu Zongxian In addition to the diehard loyalty that he has cultivated with his heart, the rest of the soldiers may not dare to do anything to Luo Xin all of a sudden, without any mental preparation.

Hu Zongxian was silent, and said half-loudly: "Am I a dead end?" ”

"Eighty percent!" Luo Xin sighed.

"No more chances?" Hu Zongxian looked directly at Luo Xin.

"If I help you, let's open it five-five. However, the best outcome is a decent retirement. ”

After thinking for a while, Luo Xin simply let go and said, "You have two paths to go now, one is to rebel." The result is certain death. There are two factors to this. One factor is that as long as I am here, you will never succeed in rebellion. And if you want to kill or detain me immediately, you may succeed, because you are in a hurry and unprepared, and you may not be able to kill me or detain me. And maybe I'll grab you if I shout from above. You also know my prestige in the Southeast, especially in the army. ”

Hu Zongxian was silent, and Luo Xin continued: "Another factor is that even if you kill me and have Ma Fang here, the probability of your final success is only thirty percent. To be honest, whether it is in terms of the strength of the army or the command ability of the large army, you are inferior to Ma Fang. Therefore, the result of your rebellion must be failure. When the time comes, it will not be you who will die, but the Nine Clans. ”

Hu Zongxian's face showed a look of pain, he could die, but let the entire family lose their lives, which Hu Zongxian could not accept. Seeing Hu Zongxian's painful expression, Luo Xin also sighed and continued:

"The other way is for me to go back and work for you and give you a decent retirement. Of course, I can't guarantee it, but I'm at least 50% sure. ”

Hu Zongxian pondered for a moment and said: "No, I won't hide it from you, the two of us are friends who have died in the war." I'm really not convinced, I made such a contribution to Daming, but I didn't expect to end up in this end. So, I'm going to think about it. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Luo Xin with burning eyes and said: "To be honest, the two of us really have the same disease, and with your Luo Xin's merits, it is not an exaggeration to be crowned the prince of the country." But now you're just a second-class candidate. And he has just been promoted to the waiter of the Sanpin Rite Department. Now they have roasted you on the fire again, no, are you really willing? If the two of us join forces ......"

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this." You can think about it, and I won't reveal half of what you and I said today. And when I go back, I'll still be running for you. If you can retire with dignity, it won't be in vain for the two of us. Moreover, once King Yu ascends the throne, you may not have a chance to re-emerge.

As long as you don't rebel, I'll be running for you. However, once you rebel, I will not show mercy, and I will definitely defeat you in the shortest possible time and capture you back to the capital. That's all I have to say, and I don't say goodbye. ”

"I'll send you!"

Hu Zongxian sent Luo Xin to the gate, and saluted Luo Xin with a fist:

"No, anyway, thank you, brother."

"My brother is out of sight. I'm not going to advise you on how to go, you decide for yourself. ”

Luo Xin turned over and got on his horse, took the order given to him by Hu Zongxian, and walked towards Qi Jiguang's camp. did not stay in Qi Jiguang's camp, and immediately left Suzhou with Qi Jiguang's 3,000 cavalry and galloped towards Guangzhou.

Walking towards Guangdong, there was no snow. The temperature was just right, neither hot nor cold, and everyone ran for 500 miles in one afternoon, and then set up camp at 10 o'clock in dusk.

Qi Jiguang and Luo Xin sat in a tent, Qi Jiguang said in a condensed voice: "My lord, we will be able to rush to Huangxian County at dusk tomorrow, but we are all cavalry, and attacking the city is not our forte." ”

"Don't worry!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "This time I specially made some explosives packs, and when the time comes, we will blow up the city gate and rush in directly." ”

"Your Excellency!" Qi Jiguang asked a little strangely: "You said that the north was hit by a snow disaster, but the south was not affected. Even if the life of the guard is harder, it can still be regarded as being able to get by, so why rebel? ”

"It's because they can still get by!" Luo Xin sighed and said, "In terms of dismantling the guards, relatively speaking, it is much easier in the north than in the south. Because in the past four years, the north has been beaten to the capital twice by Alatan Khan and Huangtaiji, and these two times they slaughtered a large number of northerners, and the northerners can be said to be almost empty......"
