"Lord Guard! He Shixian has led troops to kill us. They came from Hupiyi Station! There are more than 5,000 people, including 1,000 servants!"
Ye Busuo's forehead was covered with sweat, and there were some scars on his body. It looked like he had just experienced a fierce battle.
Liu Zhaosun frowned, dismissed his sentry horse, turned to Qiao Yiqi who was standing next to him, and said hesitantly:
"Kang Supervisor's army has abandoned me. If Mr. Qiao thinks that the southern soldiers will die, he can go and seek refuge in Liao Town. Liu will have no complaints!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand with a determined expression on his face.
Qiao Yiqi suddenly pulled out Shang Fang's sword from his body and said angrily:
"Liu Zhaosun! Who do you think I am? I am a military examiner in the thirty-seventh year of Wanli. My family has vast hectares of fertile land. I only joined the army to serve the country. It would be no shame for Kang Ying to die! If you don't kill him, I will return to the capital." We want to impeach him! As for that He Shixian, he was a great general in the past, but now he drinks alcohol all the time, doesn’t think about how to deal with Jiannu, and is at war with the Nanbing soldiers. I’m going to kill him now!”
Liu Zhaosun looked at the furious Qiao Yiqi and saw him wielding Shang Fang's sword, and felt that such a civil servant alien was his ally.
It's just that Mr. Qiao is so independent, how can he survive in the Ming Dynasty officialdom in the future?
"Ahem, that Mr. Qiao, Supervisor Kang is actually still alive, it's like this..."
Although Liu Zhaosun hated the traitor with all his teeth, he still couldn't bear the crime of killing civilian officials. Yuan Chonghuan was so powerful, and killing the general Mao Wenlong was doomed to death. Now he was just a precarious little guard. Just don’t challenge the Ming Dynasty’s civil service system.
After he whispered his plan to Qiao Yiqi, Qiao Yiqi nodded slightly. After a while, he was still confused and said:
"I am not afraid of death, but with just our few troops, we are going to Kaiyuan to fight the slaves and thieves. Brother Liu Xian, are you underestimating the slaves?"
Liu Zhaosun looked into the distance with a wry smile. He was silent for a long time and then said:
"If you want to be a chess player, you must first have the ability to be a chess piece. Liu is not talented. Now he can only be a chess piece for the princes in the court. If he doesn't fight to the death, how can he get into the eyes of the cabinet ministers..."
Qiao Yiqi was stunned for a moment. He naturally believed that what Liu Zhaosun said was true, but what he thought in his heart was "One general's success will lead to thousands of bones drying up."
"Then when He Shixian's army comes, how should we resist it?"
Liu Zhaosun was silent. He didn't have any good ideas. He had already fallen out with Liao Town. There were countless people in Shenyang City waiting for the Nanbing army to be destroyed. He Shixian was brave and foolhardy, and he was used as a gunman by others for some reason.
If Ding Bi and other generals of Liao Town break up with each other at this time, lead their troops out of the city, join He Shixian, and attack the southern soldiers in front and back, then all the more than 10,000 soldiers who lack firearms, including 5,000 new soldiers, will be wiped out, and they will also be destroyed. Died in the rebellion.
Liu Zhaosun took a breath and realized that the situation was unprecedentedly serious. He was used to seeing life and death these days. When he returned to Shenyang from the Hunjiang River, every day was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but he had to bury this war-worthy soldier in vain. .
Of course, before these southern soldiers were destroyed, Liu Zhaosun could be sure that Liao Town would also pay a heavy price.
But in that case, it would be easier for Nurhachi to pick peaches.
If Hou Jin could occupy Kaiyuan, Tieling, or even Shenyang and Liaoyang earlier than in history, there would be no story of the bloody battle of Hunhe River later.
If the situation really turns out to be like that, Liu Zhaosun will never redeem himself and will become an eternal sinner in this time and space.
Liu Zhaosun paced back and forth on the general platform and shouted to the soldiers below in the loudest voice. He was not sure how many people could hear it, maybe only the first few rows?
"Liao Town is aggressive. From Ding Bi to He Shixian, many people want me to die. The other Nan soldiers are dead, why don't we die? I, Liu Zhaosun, don't care whether I live or die, but I am in Hunjiang and owe the Nan soldiers 10,000 yuan." Many lives, I want to give them back!"
The soldiers held their breath and listened quietly to the commander's instructions.
Throughout the ages, the most important thing about a general is not his qualifications or family background, but his ability to lead his soldiers from one victory to another, or to survive in troubled times.
Liu Zhaosun has accomplished all of the above. As for whether he has enough qualifications and whether he has the strength of his adoptive father Liu Wei, these low-level soldiers are not concerned.
Liu Zhaosun's throat felt dry and sore. He paused for a while, then suddenly took out his sword and pointed it to the north.
"Since there is nowhere to escape, kill him!"
"Jiannu has not been exterminated, and regardless of whether he will leave Liaodong, I will continue to train troops. Of course, since Jiannu has arrived, you should fight bravely to kill the enemy. I have asked General Ma for 300,000 acres of fertile land, and the training will be qualified in advance. Each of the soldiers will receive ten acres of land. They will be exempted from paying land rent for the first two years. Starting from the third year, they will only pay 20% of the land rent every year. This is the ancestral system set by Emperor Taizu Gao..."
Qiao Yiqi tried hard to recall the allusions he knew about the dynasty. It seemed that Emperor Gao had never had similar laws and policies. Now that the Ming Dynasty system was in ruins, many of the rules and regulations left by Zhu Yuanzhang were basically in vain.
"I don't know what Liu Zhaosun has learned after studying the "Records of Military Training" and "New Book of Records" all day long. He speaks of Taizu's old system. Could it be that this martial artist has read the wrong book? He missed even the smallest detail and was wrong by a thousand miles?!"
Qiao Yiqi suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility and must get rid of the evil thoughts in order to set the record straight.
However, the rumble of horse hooves interrupted Lord Supervisor's contemplation, and he noticed that the ground around him began to shake slightly.
"General Ma is here!"
Liu Zhaosun raised his arms and shouted.
Liu Zhaosun was overjoyed. What was supposed to come finally came. General Ma made the right choice at the critical moment and joined forces with him so that they could protect each other.
With the land of Kaiyuan, where everyone is for me and I am for everyone, it is no longer a castle in the air.
Among the soldiers, there was a slight commotion at first. When they saw a general military order flag with a horse character written on it, they realized that the friendly troops from Liao Town that the garrison had repeatedly mentioned had finally arrived, and the land allocation that the garrison had just promised had also arrived. Not far away.
Thousands of southern soldiers broke out into earth-shattering shouts:
Won victory!
Won victory!
Shenyang City was in a state of panic. The city gate that had just been closed was reopened. Some servants from Liao Town came out of the city. They saw the dark array of southern soldiers in front of them. The pikemen held spears and were on guard against the city. The servants knew that they would rush forward directly. What would be the result? They hesitated, pushing each other around, hoping that others would rush forward first.
"Sir, General He's command flag is also there!"
"The general saw it!"
Liu Zhaosun was ecstatic. This Ma Lin really had two skills and actually accepted Crazy He!
He looked back at Shenyang City. The top of the city was already in chaos. Several Liao Town generals were walking back and forth like ants on a hot pot, not knowing what they were talking about.
"Ding Bi, you thief, just wait in Shenyang City for me to behead you!"
Liu Zhaosun immediately arranged for his servants to set off first and secretly escorted Yang Hao's family and Mao Yuanyi to the meeting place. He personally led a group of generals and said loudly:
"Bring out the camp, follow me to Kaiyuan, and together with General Ma and General He, kill the Jian slaves! Divide the fields!"
