Chapter 92
"Who is that person?" The visitor was He Kegang. When he saw a Jiannu coming out of the tent, he frowned and asked.
Shi Yuan's eyes were straight and he immediately said with a smile: "To be honest, General, you said that the man is not someone else, but Jiannu Dorgon. Hehe, he is here to persuade my son to surrender."
"Persist in surrender?" He Kegang was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes, hey, we already know the court's handling of the prince. Hey, with Jiannu's powerful intelligence ability, Jiannu naturally knew about this matter, so he asked Dorgon to persuade him to surrender." Shi Yuanzhi said half-true and half-false.
"Then your son?" He Kegang's face showed a hint of suspicion. When Dorgon left just now, his face was filled with a smile, which made him unable to help but doubt it.
"My young master killed so many of them, can he surrender to Jiannu?" Shi Yuanzhi said suspiciously. This caused a hint of embarrassment on He Kegang's face. Because when he entered the gate just now, he discovered something was wrong. He had also been to Xishan Camp before, and he had always been free to enter and exit like his own military camp. However, when he came today, he needed to inform him. He didn't pay attention to this matter just now, but at this moment he suddenly remembered that this incident happened, which made him unable to help but doubt it. He quickly accelerated his pace and followed Shi Yuanzhi into the tent.
"Young Master wants to surrender to Jiannu?" As soon as he saw Li Xin, He Kegang couldn't help blurting out. As soon as he said that, he felt regretful. He didn't ask people this way. This thing would annoy Li Xin and drag him out to kill him, which would be a big loss.
Li Xin was stunned when he heard this, glanced at He Kegang, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "I, Li Xin, is a Han family, how could I surrender to Jiannu? Is General He's words too much?" Fortunately, He Kegang. If it were someone else's words, Li Xin would have called him out long ago. Even Dorgon would not ask such a mentally retarded question when he saw him.
"Haha, I'm very sorry." He Kegang said awkwardly: "I just saw that Jiannu came out of the prince's tent, so I have this idea. Take a risk, please forgive me for your crime."
"No need, I'm used to these words." Li Xin said lazily: "You are here just right. I think Mr. Zhang Chun's army is coming soon. I want to congratulate you here. It's time to build achievements again."
"Young Master, you?" He Kegang became even more embarrassed when he heard this.
"This is not my place to stay, not to mention that my ambition is not here. I want to go to the grassland and kill the Tartars. Hehe, in fact, it is also good to be a Huo Cavalry." Li Xin did not hide his ambition at all.
"Young Master really wants to leave here?" He Kegang's face changed and he said nervously: "Our army still needs the cooperation of the young master's army to defeat Jiannu. If the young master leaves at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"
"Hehe, if you don't leave at this time, are you waiting for Zhang Chun's army to come and wipe out our army?" Shi Yuanzhi on the side couldn't help but sneer: "Is there still less such things to destroy bridges across the river? My son made so many contributions, but in the end, he just pardoned the crime he didn't originally had. The court was really generous! Do you know that in order to win over my son, Jiannu was planning to let my son be the King of Huai'an. Hehe, compared to this, the court's move was really disappointing."
"This, I think it was because of the treacherous slander in the court that this decision was made. My military service has submitted a report to the emperor to express his merits. I believe that an imperial edict will come soon." He Kegang said with his head down. It is not the case that he deceives people.
"Okay, General He doesn't have to do this. I, Li Xin, are a Han family. Even if I am not favored by the court, I will not take it seriously. I will not surrender to Jiannu. Haha, in the future, you and I will still have a chance to meet." Li Xin waved his hand and said, "When the imperial army arrives, I will leave the West Mountain."
"Oh, this matter has been done." He Kegang suddenly thought of something and said, "It seems that I can't persuade you anymore. The military gate wants to hold a banquet in Dalinghe City tonight to thank the young master for saving his life. I also ask the young master to go there."
"Young Master, no." Shi Yuanzhi stopped him without thinking.
"This? Zu Junmen really wants to thank me!" Li Xin said with his eyes staring at He Kegang.
"Of course that's the case." He Kegang said with a smile: "How could this be fake!"
"That's good. I fight side by side with General Zu and haven't drunk wine yet." Li Xin stopped Shi Yuanzhi and said with a smile: "Please reply to General Zu, I will definitely go to the banquet tonight."
"Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye." He Kegang was also happy to see that Li Xin had agreed to go to the banquet. Since he couldn't persuade Li Xin, he didn't believe it, and Zu Dashou couldn't persuade Li Xin either.
After He Kegang left, Shi Yuanzhi said dissatisfiedly: "Why did the lord agree to He Kegang? You must know that the lord is now under the life and death of more than ten thousand soldiers. What if this Zu Dashou has evil intentions? This move is too dangerous, so it is better not to go."
"If this is true, then I will go even more." Li Xin narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
"Master."
"Lord, someone asks for a visit." At this time, Zhang Yifu's voice sounded outside.
"What's the matter?" Li Xin and Shi Yuanzhi looked at each other. Zhang Yifu immediately led a man in, but he was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, with a look of uneasiness on his face.
"Zhang Ergou has met his benefactor's son." The young man saw Li Xin all at once and quickly fell to the ground.
"Benefactor and son? This title is interesting. Brother Zhang, there is no need to be like this. Please get up and talk." Li Xin was immediately laughed at by this title.
"Lord, this Zhang Ergou is a fellow villager of his subordinates. When his lord was trapped in Dalinghe City, his subordinates felt pitiful and helped him. This time he came here risking his life, but there was a secret matter to ask for a meeting with his lord." Zhang Yifu quickly explained.
"What big deal do you want to see me?" Li Xin asked curiously.
"Return to the words of the benefactor, Zu Dashou and his son will harm you." Zhang Ergou said loudly: "The villain can hear clearly that the major general of the Zu family has something called the Yuanyang wine pot. I heard that there are two kinds of wines in it. They want to poison you, so that you can control your son's army."
"Hongmen Banquet!" Shi Yuan's face changed. He was just a little worried just now, but he never thought that his Zu Dashou could really come up with it.
"I'm so brave! I actually want to master my army like this." Li Xin's face was gloomy and his fists were tightly pinched. If Zu Dashou was here now, I'm afraid Li Xin would have punched him and smashed him to pieces.
"The lord was not an official in the court at this time. It sounds nice, but it was a rebel army. To put it bluntly, my Xishan Army is a bandit. So it is normal for them to use this trick to deal with the lord. This is probably not the first time that Zu Dashou has done this." Shi Yuanzhi smiled bitterly.
"I'm not someone else." Li Xin patted Zhang Ergou's shoulder and said, "Thank you, brother Zhang, you saved my life this time!"
"If it weren't for the young master, I, Zhang Ergou, would have died long ago. My mother said that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. The young master saved Zhang Ergou, and Zhang Ergou would repay the young master even if he fought his life." Zhang Ergou said loudly.
"Okay, thank you anyway." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "You may be suspicious of Zu Dashou when you go back at this time. You should stay here!"
"Young Master, can I join your son?" Zhang Ergou said involuntarily with joy on his face.
"Of course it's OK." Li Xin and Shi Yuanzhi looked at each other and laughed.
"Young Master, many people in the army want to join the young master's command. Why don't I call them all and join the young master's command together?" Zhang Ergou laughed out loud when he thought of something.
"Okay, but they can join us after tonight. It's not possible now." Li Xin thought for a while and said that Guanning Iron Cavalry is an elite soldier. Although Li Xin also led the cavalry, most of it was his bravery. If Zhang Ergou and others joined, Li Xin's military soldiers would be even more brave. So Li Xin agreed to Zhang Ergou without hesitation. Zhang Ergou also returned to Dalinghe City happily and recruited some soldiers who wanted to leave.
"Yuan Zhi, do you think He Kegang knows this?" After Zhang Ergou left, Li Xin asked in a low voice. At this time, he didn't even believe He Kegang.
"General He may not know about this. After all, General He is very honest. The young master is the savior of Guanning Army. Zu Dashou uses this method to deal with his lord. If someone knows, the Guanning Army will definitely oppose it. So they can only kill the lord and frame the charges. Hehe, this way can not only kill the lord, but also control the lord's troops." Shi Yuanzhi thought for a while and said, "Lord, Zu Dashou is also anxious. After all, his troops have lost too much. Once Zhang Chun arrives, his thousands of Guanning Iron Cavalry are nothing in the army. In the whole of Liaodong, Zu Dashou cannot be the king of Liaodong, so he is so eager to get the lord's troops."
"For the sake of this ten thousand army, Zu Dashou really made a capital contribution and actually created a trick like Hongmen Banquet for me." Li Xin sneered.
"Lord, we are here now, what can his Zu Dashou be able to attack us with thousands of soldiers?" Shi Yuan heard Li Xin's intention and was ready to go to Daling River, so he couldn't help but dissuade him.
"Go, you must go. The enemy has set up the stage and is waiting for us to go to see the show. Why don't we go for such a good thing?" Li Xin waved his hand and said.
"Lord, this move is very dangerous. It is better to let your subordinates continue." Shi Yuanzhi comforted him again.
"He is a banquet for me, not yours, so what are you doing?" Li Xin waved his hand and sneered: "You go, you can't continue to sing this show anymore. You can wait! Let you watch a good show tonight, hehe, Zu Dashou, today I will let you taste what it means to steal chickens but lose rice."
"Since the lord has made a decision, I don't know how many soldiers to bring?" Shi Yuanzhi saw that Li Xin had made up his mind, so he stopped persuading him.
"Just go Gao Meng and I, just lead three or five personal soldiers." Li Xin laughed and said, "Even if there is a dragon pond and tiger den in front of him, what can his Zu Dashou do to me?"
