"Are you so sure that you can win the Ming Dynasty?" Li Kaiyang stared at Liu Heng intently.
Liu Heng lifted his hem, sat back on his seat, and said: "The Ming Dynasty may seem powerful, but it is already riddled with holes and is very weak inside. If not, how could slave thieves take advantage of the situation to gain power and occupy the land of Liaodong. "
"No matter how fierce the slave thieves have been in recent years, they have finally been defeated by the Ming army in Liaodong several times. The Ming Dynasty can withstand defeats one after another, but the slave thieves cannot. A defeat or two will be fatal. matter." Li Kaiyang retorted.
The Great Victory of Jinzhou and the Great Victory of Ningyuan, the two successive victories of the Ming Dynasty against the slave thieves, inspired many Ming officials and made many people feel that the situation between the Ming Dynasty and the slave thieves had reversed.
Some border troops even wanted to be mobilized to Liaodong to fight against slaves and bandits, taking this opportunity to gain some credit and prepare for future promotions.
"The Great Victory of Jinzhou is a joke, just like the clay Buddha statue in the temple. No matter how dazzling the gold powder on the outside is, it can't change the fact that it is made of clay." Liu Heng said in a calm tone.
Li Kaiyang frowned when he heard this. He felt that there was something in Liu Heng's words that he didn't understand, so he asked directly: "What do you mean by this? Is the victory of Jinzhou still fake?"
"It seems that Deputy General Li really didn't know anything about it." Liu Heng took a sip of water from the teapot on the table and continued, "The victory of Jinzhou was completely unfounded and was just constructed by Liaodong officials and some people in the DPRK. A great victory.”
"This is impossible! You are lying to me." Li Kaiyang was shocked by Liu Heng's words, because they were different from what he knew.
Liu Heng turned his head and looked at Zhao Wu who was standing aside, and said, "Ask the attendants to bring over the military report on the imperial court's victory in Jinzhou, and by the way, also bring over the military report on the victory in Ningyuan."
"Yes." Zhao Wu agreed and retreated from the room.
Li Kaiyang stared at Liu Heng and said, "You are lying to me, right?"
"You will know later when Zhao Wu brings the military report, and there is no need for me to fool you on this matter. There is no need at all." Liu Heng spread his hands lightly.
Li Kaiyang pursed his lips hard, still unwilling to believe it.
Everyone in the imperial court knew about the Jinzhou Victory, and he did not believe that the Jinzhou Victory would be a false victory.
Without keeping them waiting for too long, Zhao Wu came back with two military reports in his hand.
"Show him the military report on the Jinzhou victory." Liu Heng left the military report on the Ningyuan victory on his desk and asked Zhao Wu to pass the other military report to Li Kaiyang.
As soon as Zhao Wugang walked over, Li Kaiyang eagerly grabbed the military report from his hand and read it.
Zhao Wu stood aside and waited for him to finish.
After reading it, he had to take the military newspaper back and give it to the attendant team to put it away.
"How could it be like this? This is a fake. It must be a fake. You deliberately made a fake thing to deceive me." Li Kaiyang glared at Liu Heng with round eyes.
Liu Heng said: "Now that you have read it, return it to Zhao Wu. As for whether this military report is true or false, I believe you should know it in your heart. If you really think that I made a fake copy to deceive you, it doesn't matter."
Li Kaiyang's face became extremely ugly.
He already believed that this thing was true, because the other party had no need to lie to him.
"Would you like to talk about the Ningyuan victory again?" Liu Heng picked up the military report on the Ningyuan victory on the table and waved it in front of his eyes.
Li Kaiyang said with a sullen face: "Is Ningyuan's victory also a fake?"
"No, the Ningyuan victory is true, but the Ming army's victory was not as great as imagined, let alone the slave thieves." Liu Heng handed over the military report about the Ningyuan victory in his hand. .
Zhao Wu came over to take it and handed it to Li Kaiyang again.
Li Kaiyang buried his head in reading.
At this time, Liu Heng was heard to say: "The Ming army is far from reversing the situation when facing the slave bandits. Even if they go out to fight in the city, the losing side is likely to be the Ming army."
"Is the old slave seriously injured?" Li Kaiyang, who was reading the military report of Ningyuan's victory, suddenly exclaimed.
The old slave was the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty. He read in the military newspaper that the old slave was seriously injured at the gate of Ningyuan City (I don’t know whether it was true or not, but the fracture was just like the old slave was injured by a cannon). If the situation recorded above is true, This is definitely good news for Ming Dynasty. It would be even better if the old slave dies from serious injuries.
"Yes, the old slave was injured by artillery when he attacked Ningyuan City. He might not survive this year." Liu Heng, who had read the military newspaper, naturally knew what was written in it, and also knew that the old slave was seriously injured.
Li Kaiyang said excitedly: "It would be better if he died. Ming Dynasty's biggest opponent is gone."
"If the old slave dies, someone else will definitely take over the money, which may not be good news for Ming Dynasty." Liu Heng had a teasing smile on his lips.
According to his memory.
Huang Taiji, who replaced the old slave after his death, was definitely a man of great talent and strategy. This man definitely played an important role in the slave thief being able to take over the Central Plains later.
On the contrary, the old slave has grown old and does not have too many ambitions. He is almost content to stay in this three-acre land in Liaodong.
Li Kaiyang said: "No matter who you replace, they won't be able to compare with Lao Nu. Maybe Lao Nu's sons will start fighting among themselves in order to compete for the position after Lao Nu's death."
"Let me first wish Deputy General Li's dream come true." Liu Heng said with a chuckle.
He believed that reality would make Li Kaiyang understand how ridiculous what he just said was.
The internal fighting among the slaves and thieves has never stopped, but when facing the Ming Dynasty, the slaves and thieves always put aside their internal fighting first and unanimously dealt with the outside world.
This is very much related to the Ming Dynasty, because in the Ming Dynasty, internal fighting is the most important thing. Nothing can stop the internal fighting, even in the face of the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the species, the internal fighting will not be forgotten.
"You don't agree with what I just said?" Li Kaiyang heard that Liu Heng was ridiculing him for daydreaming.
Liu Heng waved his hand and said: "I don't care what will happen to the slave thieves, because I have never been afraid of them. Besides, Deputy General Li has completed the bet, and the matter between the slave thieves and Daming is not too big with the Li family." relationship."
The Li family's power in Shaanxi is mainly concentrated in Yan'an Prefecture.
Once the Yan'an Mansion fell into the hands of Hu Ziqi under the promotion of the Li family, it was impossible for the court to not notice it at all, and the Li family had no choice but to part ways with the Ming Dynasty court.
"Why are you unwilling to accept recruitment? With this victory, as long as you show any intention of accepting recruitment, I believe the court will definitely recruit you and Tiger Flag." Li Kaiyang looked at Liu Heng and said.
Liu Heng leaned back, leaned his back on the chair, and asked with a smile: "Have Deputy General Li ever read the Water Margin written by Mr. Zian?"
