559 I will not follow the old path of Yuan Chonghuan

[Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!!] 】

As the day dawned, Sony spent the night collecting 3,400 war horses from Shengjing City.

There is a huge Shengjing City, and there are only 3,000 war horses, which can still be made up.

It's just that, as a result, there are basically no horses to ride among the more than 2,000 Tartar cavalry in Shengjing City.

In addition to those Tartar cavalry, Sonny also temporarily borrowed more than a thousand war horses from his own family and several other Tartar nobles.

After all, Shengjing City is not a horse farm for Tartars, and the number of war horses is not very large.

Moreover, this time Huang Taiji's army attacked Jinzhou, of course, took most of the war horses.

Fortunately, Li Zixiao only needs about 3,000 war horses, if there are more, Sony really can't make it up for him in one night.

As the day dawned, Sonny, with red eyes and a tired face, looked at the three thousand four hundred war horses he had raised in one night, and sighed.

At this time, Sony was extremely aggrieved in his heart, he had never suffered such a big loss from a Han person.

But this time, he had to admit that he did plant it and planted it in Li Zixiao's hands, which would be the biggest shame in his official career.

In the past, Tartar generals such as Huang Taiji and Dolgon attached surprisingly much importance to Li Zixiao, and Sonny and other Tartar civil officials were very puzzled.

When will the Ming Dynasty make Huang Taiji restless, Yuan Chonghuan more than ten years ago is counted as one, and now there is another Li Zixiao.

"Come on, open the city gate, and let those Ming troops leave."

Sonny issued an order to remove Liang Feng who was trapped in the city, Qin Zhen and the other Tartars around the White Dragon Army, and let them leave first.

This is also the agreement reached by Li Zixiao and Sony in advance last night.

"Hey, the general succeeded, let's withdraw."

Liang Feng's face was pale and he had no left arm, but he was very happy at this time, and shouted to the soldiers of the escort battalion who were only less than 100 people left.

Liang Feng also understood that after returning this time, he would no longer be able to stay in the guard battalion, or even in the White Dragon Army, and he might be sent to a certain county town to serve as a martial artist.

Soon, Liang Feng quickly withdrew from Shengjing City with the remnants of his subordinates.

On the other side, more than 500 cavalrymen of the White Dragon Army under Qin Zhen, who were trapped in a mansion, also withdrew from Shengjing City at the same time.

Outside the city, Li Zixiao had already sent a team of cavalry to meet them.

"General Liang, General Qin, you have worked hard, the general asked us to pick you up, come with us."

A captain of the White Dragon Army said to Liang Feng and Qin Zhen, and then led them to Li Zixiao's camp to meet.

Not long after they left, Sonny led more than 2,000 Tartar soldiers, with 3,400 horses and 200,000 taels of silver, and also set out from Shengjing City.

This time, Sony really didn't make a small move in secret, and the three thousand four hundred war horses he made up were all military horses used by the Tartars themselves before, and they were definitely good military horses.

Of course, these war horses have all been castrated, so Sony will not worry, Li Zixiao can breed with the help of these war horses.

Tartars have always been very strict with the management of mares, and they will never allow uncastrated war horses to flow into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Without a good breed of horses, as well as mares that can breed in large quantities, and a natural good pasture, it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to breed and raise good war horses by itself.

In this way, the Tartars were able to maintain a huge advantage over the Ming Dynasty army all the time, guaranteeing a huge advantage in cavalry.

There are only 3,000 war horses, even if they are given to Li Zixiao, it doesn't matter, there are only 3,000 war horses, and there are not many cavalry.

Half an hour later, Sonny and Li Zixiao met again in an open wilderness, six miles southwest of Shengjing City, which was the place they agreed on last night.

"Li Zixiao, I have already brought the war horse and silver, and I have released all the soldiers you are trapped in the city, now it's time for you to release our mother."

In the wilderness, the whirring wind was blowing, and Sonny opened his throat and shouted loudly to Li Zixiao.

"You send someone to inform you of the men and horses who are stationed at the docks of the Hunhe River, ask him to evacuate, let my people take over, and then we will exchange.

Don't worry, I'll take someone to stay at the end. ”

Of course Li Zixiao won't be here, so he will hand over Da Yu'er to Sony, otherwise Sony will immediately turn his face, and Li Zixiao will still not be able to leave.

Therefore, Li Zixiao wants to open up his own back road, and then exchange with Sony.

For this reason, Li Zixiao had to stay at the end in person, because only in this way would Sony be relieved and agree.

At this time, while Li Zixiao was guarding against Sony, Sony was of course also beware of Li Zixiao not keeping his promise.

"Okay." After listening to Li Zixiao's words, Sony agreed.

"Qin Zhen, you take people with you, when you arrive at the Hunhe wharf, immediately occupy the wharf, and send people to explore the surroundings, and never allow any Tartars to lurk nearby.

At the same time, checking whether the ship is safe or not is related to whether we can withdraw smoothly or not, and there must be no mistakes.

After checking, send someone to inform me, and I won't exchange with Sony until I get your news. ”

At this time, Li Zixiao called Qin Zhen to him and said seriously.

This exchange is not so simple, although Li Zixiao has already thought about everything in his heart, he has to take every step well.

Otherwise, if they are not careful, they will face the end of losing all the games.

As long as Li Zixiao and them cross the Hunhe River safely, the Tartars will no longer be able to take them.

"Don't worry, the general, his subordinates will check carefully." Immediately, Qin Zhen led 500 cavalry and went to the Hunhe Wharf first.

After Qin Zhen left with his troops, Li Zixiao and Sonny took people and waited in this wilderness, waiting for more than an hour.

Sony seems to have guessed that today's exchange is bound to be very long, so he seems to be extra patient.

"General, General Qin sent his subordinates to report that the Tartars at the Hunhe wharf have been evacuated, everything is normal there, there are a total of six hundred large and small boats, and they can cross the river at any time."

A White Dragon Army cavalry came back and reported to Li Zixiao.

"Good." Li Zixiao smiled, and then looked at Sony.

"Lord Suo, now please hand over the war horses and silver to my subordinates, and let them take them to the Hunhe River dock first, and then cross the Hunhe River.

I will leave a small number of guards behind, and when all my men have crossed the Hun, I will hand over your mother to you. ”

"No, I'll hand over all the war horses to you, what if you regret it?"

"You don't have a choice, my Li Zixiao counts."

"That's not good, I'll hand over the silver and two thousand war horses to you first, and then hand over the rest last, and I'll keep my promise."

Sony finally took a step back, and there could be no stalemate in this exchange.

"Okay." Similarly, Li Zixiao also relented.

In fact, at this time, whether it is Sony or Li Zixiao, there is no idea of making trouble in their hearts.

At this time, the thoughts in the hearts of the two were surprisingly consistent, that is, to complete the exchange smoothly and not to make any more trouble.

Li Zixiao wanted to leave, and Sony wanted Da Yuer to be safe, so the two took a step back.

"Cao Ping, Liang Feng, you two lead five hundred cavalry, take those two thousand war horses, go to the dock of the Hunhe River, and transport all the horses and silver to the other side of the river.

Return to bring the ship back and send someone to inform us. Li Zixiao gave orders to Cao Ping and Liang Feng.

It was really Li Zixiao who was at the Hunhe Wharf, and the boats they collected were a bit small, only more than 500, and many of them were small boats.

In this way, these ships could not transport the more than 1,000 cavalry and more than 3,000 war horses under his command across the south bank of the Hunhe River at one time.

Therefore, Li Zixiao was forced to adopt this method of transportation in batches.

After Cao Ping and Liang Feng left, Li Zixiao and Sony continued to wait in this wilderness, and the wait was even longer, directly for more than an hour, and they didn't see Cao Ping and others send people back.

It's noon, and Sony's side is a little impatient.

Sonny was idle, and even chatted with Li Zixiao: "General Li, you are the youngest, most courageous and resourceful general I have ever met.

You remind me of a man, an equally good Ming general. ”

"Oh, who?"

Li Zixiao estimated that Cao Ping and the others carried war horses across the river, and after spending some time, after hearing Sony's words, they showed interest and said.

"Don't be in a hurry, let me guess?" Sony was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Zixiao.

"Yes, you guess."

"The Ming general who can give you Tartars a headache, over the years, there are two I can guess, one is Mao Wenlong.

However, after all, Mao Wenlong is in a safe corner, and the strength in his hands is not strong, for you, it is at most the pain of ringworm.

There is only one person who can really pose a threat to your Tartars, prevent you from entering the customs, and even have the ability to destroy your Eight Banners elite, and that is Yuan Chonghuan and Yuan Dashuai back then.

Am I right? ”

"Haha, General Li is right. I'm also referring to Yuan Chonghuan. Sonny laughed and replied.

"Yuan Chonghuan back then, in your Ming Dynasty, can be described as a monstrous power, holding hundreds of thousands of elite Ming troops, and he was stationed on the front line of Shanhaiguan, so that my Qing Dynasty has not been able to take the next step in the south for several years.

Our emperor regarded it as a great danger to his henchmen, and repeatedly led the army to attack, but in the end he returned in vain. But General Li, do you know how Yuan Chonghuan died in the end?

Haha, he was killed by your Emperor Chongzhen, and this kind of self-cutting thing can only be done by your Emperor Chongzhen. ”

Li Zixiao listened to Sony talk about this, his face did not show the slightest anger, but with a faint smile, he asked curiously: "Master Suo, what is the purpose of you talking to me now?" ”

"General Li, I admire your ability, and it is definitely not something in the pool. Why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light at this time, and hang yourself on the rotten tree of Chongzhen?

General Li, if you can take refuge in our Qing Dynasty, I believe that our emperor will definitely go out of the city for ten miles to greet him, and we will also write off everything that happened today, and we will never pursue it. ”

"Haha, Sony, Sony, at this time, you still want to surrender me, can Huang Taiji tolerate the surrender of a Ming general who captured Concubine Zhuang?

Even if he agreed for the sake of profit, would Dorgon agree? Would Duoduo agree?

Don't forget, I'm the one who once captured Doddor, and Dodor wants to eat me alive, in this case, do you think I will end well if I surrender to you?

Besides, I really can't believe what you Tartars say, if I surrender to you, maybe in a short time, you will be able to use me, and you will not do anything to me.

In the future, when you really enter the customs, and even sit in the world, when you don't need me, I dare to say that you will kill my nine clans.

Therefore, don't bother to speak, between me and you Tartars, we are destined to be enemies in this life.

Before, your Concubine Zhuang also wanted to recruit me, and even did not hesitate to offer a position of Han iron 1 hat, 1 son and 1 king, but I refused.

This time, the strength in my hands is not enough, I just wanted to demonstrate under your Shengjing City, but I didn't expect to accidentally hit and capture your Concubine Zhuang.

This time, I just came to collect some interest from you Eight Banners Tartars first, and in the future, when I have enough power in my hands, I will definitely come in person and set foot in your Shengjing City.

If you know each other, stay outside the customs honestly, and don't think about entering the customs every day, otherwise I will make you regret entering the customs in the future. ”

"Okay, very good, Li Zixiao, since that's the case, then let's wait and see in the future, I want to see if you can do what you say."

Yuan Chonghuan was so powerful back then, but he didn't die in the end, maybe we don't need to make a move, wait for you to go back this time.

Your Emperor Chongzhen should attack you, you may die, even worse than Yuan Chonghuan back then. ”

After listening to Li Zixiao's words, Sony knew that Li Zixiao was destined to work for them Tartar, and said coldly.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, Yuan Chonghuan is Yuan Chonghuan, and I, Li Zixiao, will not follow his old path.

Why did the emperor kill Yuan Dashuai back then, it wasn't that you Tartars walked around and slandered, and some traitors in my Ming court, who acted in embarrassment and killed Yuan Dashuai.

And you have to remember that I, Li Zixiao, am not Yuan Chonghuan, you must want to repeat the old tricks, and prepare to let some traitors slander the emperor to kill me.

It's a pity, you'll be disappointed, you're late, maybe if you implement this method two years in advance, I'll really be killed by you.

But now, Huang Taiji can't kill me, Li Zicheng can't kill me, even Chongzhen, he doesn't want to kill me. ”

"You ......, you already have the intention of rebellion, no wonder."

Sony was also surprised when he heard Li Zixiao dare to call the name of 'Chongzhen', and immediately figured out why.

However, in Sony's view, this plan is still to be carried out, as long as Chongzhen is suspicious of Li Zixiao, with Chongzhen's suspicious personality, he will inevitably kill Li Zixiao.

At that time, even if Li Zixiao rebelled, he would inevitably be surrounded and suppressed by the Ming army and lose part of his strength.

Even if Li Zixiao doesn't die in the end, it is good to weaken the strength in his hands.

It's a pity that Sony doesn't know as much about Li Zixiao's situation in the Ming Dynasty as Huang Taiji and Dolgon.

He didn't know at all that Li Zixiao's territory at this time had long been self-contained, and he didn't need to look at the face of the court at all.

If Chongzhen forced Li Zixiao to rebel, the consequences would be more serious than the consequences of forcing Yuan Chonghuan back then.
