Chapter 95 The Arrival of Zhang Chun
"Young Master, this Zu Dashou is really hateful. He actually wants to ruin his life. It's a pity to die. If I had known this, I wouldn't have saved his life at the beginning." Li Xin and others returned to the camp, and Gao Meng snorted coldly.
"One time and another time, we must leave Zu Dashou's life at that time. If Zu Dashou dies, we will be in trouble." Li Xin patted Wuyun Taxue's head and let its huge head rub against him, then he entered the camp with a smile.
"Lord, this time the matter in Dalinghe City is probably not hidden from Jiannu. Jiannu may not let us get more things this time." Shi Yuanzhi said with some concern.
"No, no, if the lord stays here for one more day, Jiannu will have to worry more day. Zhang Chun's army will arrive tomorrow. If the lord stays here for one day, Jiannu will have to be careful whether the lord is united with Zhang Chun." Zhang Yifu shook his head and said.
"Well, what you said makes sense. What Jiannu is most afraid of now is that we will unite with them." Li Xin nodded and pointed at Zhang Yifu and said, "I won't participate in the rest of the matter. You and Dorgon sigh. We don't need anything else, first, war horses, second, food and grass. We will go deep into the grassland. Although there will be no shortage of war horses in the future, I still have a big thing to do. I need war horses in a short time, let alone food and grass. Hehe, maybe we will get a lot of food and grass in the near future, but who doesn't like this thing more."
"Don't worry, lord, it's up to me." Zhang Yifu said proudly.
"Master, if you do this, you may not have war within three years, within a radius of 100 miles in Jinzhou. Within three years, Jiannu will not use troops on a large scale." Shi Yuan nodded and praised: "Master, this is a chessboard in Liaodong, Jiannu, and the imperial army as chess pieces. The work is so great that ordinary people can do."
"There is no way. If I really have a lot of soldiers and horses, I will destroy them directly, and it will not be like this now." Li Xin said indifferently: "I just used this blow to teach the court and Jiannu a lesson, so that they can see the power of me, Li Xin. Humph, if the court does not give me great righteousness, I will use my reputation and my evil name to conquer the entire grassland. At that time, when the Central Plains is in chaos, take the opportunity to enter the Central Plains. Yuanzhi, please look for where we will stay in the future. This place cannot be too far away, but it cannot be too close."
"Since that's the case, my subordinates know that there is a good place that is just right for the lord's needs." Shi Yuanzhi was silent for a while before saying, "Master, do you know about Guihua City?"
"Guihua City?" Li Xin thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "I really didn't know that there was such a city in the Ming Dynasty." Li Xin had to admit this. Even in later generations, many cities on the Chinese map still inherited the title of the Ming Dynasty, but he had never heard of Guihua City.
"Lord, this Guihua City is not on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, or in other words, it was originally belonging to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but now it belongs to Lin Dankhan." Shi Yuan pointed to the West and said: "In the sixth year of Longqing, Altan Khan, the Mongolian leader stationed in Tumochuan, summoned skilled craftsmen from all races to imitate the Yuan Dynasty. On the shady north of the Daqing Mountains and the shore of the Yellow River, he broke the ground to build a majestic and beautiful city with eight buildings and glazed gold and silver halls. After the city was completed, the court gave it the name Guihua City. Under the reflection of the green mountains with mountains, it showed a lush vitality. At that time, Guihua City was made of blue bricks and looked blue from a distance. The local Mongolian people gave her a beautiful name, called Kukuhetun or Hohhot, which means green city in Han meaning."
"Oh, so that's it." When Li Xin heard the name of Hohhot, he immediately understood what this place was and nodded immediately.
"Lord, this is a treasure land of heaven! It is surrounded by the towering Yinshan Mountains in the north, which can reach the lush grasslands in the north; it is surrounded by the rolling Yellow River water in the south, which is across the river from the Ordos Plateau; it is connected to the rolling Manhan Mountain in the east; it is connected to Hetao in the west, which is the gateway to Ganning in the west. It is located at the junction of the Yellow River and the Dahei River. The land here is fertile, the terrain is flat, and the irrigation is convenient. Lord, Chilechuan is here. This place is even the place where the Tuoba Xianbei was the dragon-rise place!" Shi Yuanzhi showed a yearning look on his face.
"It turns out that the place that Yuan Zhi said was so good." Li Xin nodded. Huhe Hart was quite famous later. Not only because the place was plump, but more importantly, this place was the milk capital in the future. With such a name, it means that the animal husbandry industry here is very developed and can provide Li Xin with enough war horses. There are a lot of strategic resources such as gold and iron in the Daqing Mountains.
"There are not many soldiers and horses stationed here. The lord has 10,000 troops, enough to occupy this place." Shi Yuanzhi said proudly: "After the lord occupy this place, he can write to the court to establish Yunzhong Prefecture. Emperor Wu of Han established Yunzhong County here."
"Hehe, if the lord set up Yunzhong Mansion here, those Shanxi merchants might have flocked to him." Zhang Yifu also nodded and said.
"Shen merchants? The ones that the world hates the most is Shanxi merchants." Li Xin said coldly. This is a bit reasonable. Merchants are pursuing profits. In the late Ming Dynasty, Jiannu won the Shanxi merchants with a lot of money. Not only did they obtain a large amount of military material from the Ming Dynasty through Shanxi merchants, but more importantly, intelligence. With Shanxi merchants traveling around the world, they naturally know the information within the Ming Dynasty.
"Lord, Zhang Chun is here. He is camping outside the city at this moment." Shi Yuanzhi was about to say something when he saw Yang Xiong breaking in and saying.
"This Zhang Chun is very impatient. Unfortunately, if he came earlier, maybe we wouldn't be able to escape from here easily." Li Xin laughed. He knew that this Zhang Chun was not Zu Dashou and would not do anything that poisoned wine to kill him.
As expected, outside the Dalinghe City, tens of thousands of Ming troops quickly set up camp outside the city, but the veteran Zhang Chun sat upright in the central army's tent, but his face was gloomy and he looked coldly at the personal soldiers in front of him. The news that had just happened in the Dalinghe City also came to the ears of the veteran Zhang Chun.
"Stupid, extremely stupid." Zhang Chun cursed angrily, not having the calmness that scholars had. Wu Xiang and others on the other side did not dare to speak, and were also cursing Zu Dashou in their hearts. What was originally very simple, but when Zu Dashou came, it became extremely complicated. Now, not only did they not kill Li Xin, but they even offended Zhang Chun.
"Military Sect, now that things are over, what should we do?" Although Wu Xiang hated Li Xin very much and wanted Li Xin to die, it was definitely not now. Li Xin must not die now. He held heavy troops in his hand, which was enough to change any force on the battlefield. If he surrendered to Jiannu when the two armies were fighting, then Wu Xiang really didn't know whether he could escape?
"Li Xin held heavy troops in his hand, which was enough to change the situation on the battlefield. I was a little sorry for Li Xin, but I had such a thing happened now. How could Li Xin believe us?" Zhang Chunhua's white beard trembled and her eyes glared ahead. If he could, he would want to whip Zu Dashou hard. Obviously, he had never thought about why Zu Dashou, who had always been smart, came up with such a foolish move and forced Li Xin to the hostile side in an instant. Even if Li Xin had the intention to serve the country, he would probably not believe in himself anymore.
"I think Li Xin is the descendant of Li Gu, so he will not do such things." Song Wei also spoke.
"That might be possible that the rabbit is biting someone if he is too impatient? What's more, Li Xin is a brave man. Who knows if he will do this?" Wu Sangui said disdainfully.
"No matter what, I will go to see him tomorrow." Zhang Chun thought for a while and said, "Then Li Xin is also a loyal and righteous person. I want to come to know the righteousness. He will stay in Dalinghe City to help us deal with Jiannu. At worst, I will just turn around and write to the emperor to give him a title." Zhang Chun thought about it and waved his hand and withdrew the military proposal. He was old and unable to keep up with his energy. Everyone also said goodbye. Half an hour later, the Ming army camp was pitch black, and only some patrol soldiers were acting.
However, in the Jiannu camp in the north of the city, there were bright lights. Zhang Chun could sleep, but these people could not sleep. The arrival of the Ming army brought great pressure to them. After Dorgon, who was responsible for the heavy negotiation, did not dare to neglect his slightest response after receiving Zhang Chun's army to Dalinghe, he asked to see Li Xin overnight.
"Lord, this Zhang Chun army will not come early or late. It is the best opportunity for you to come at this time!" Shi Yuan heard Dorgon coming late at night and said proudly: "If Zhang Chun had come early, he would probably not do anything like Hongmen Banquet according to his character. At that time, if the lord left, it would probably be morally unreasonable. If this person came late, the lord's affairs last night would have been spread to Jiannu. I'm afraid that Jiannu would not be as anxious as we imagined."
"Lord, Dorgon is visiting at night." At this time, Gao Meng said outside the tent.
"Please." Li Xin and Shi Yuan looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that Zhang Chun led the army to come, which put a lot of pressure on Jiannu, and forced Dorgon to come at night.
"Congratulations to the lord, lord, today it will be like a dragon entering the sea, taking the world as a chessboard." Shi Yuanzhi bowed his hands and laughed.
"Haha, it's really time for Dorgon to come. Let's go and see him." Li Xin also nodded. Dorgon's arrival at this moment means that it has come for him to leave the West Mountain.
"Master, it's better to wait." Li Xin was about to leave, but saw Shi Yuan dissuading him.
Li Xin was stunned when he heard this, but he soon understood and nodded. This matter was like buying something. The more Li Xin was, the more he was, Dorgon would be anxious. They were not fools. Once Li Xin cooperated with Zhang Chun, Jiannu would definitely not be Li Xin's opponent. Waiting for a moment at this time would be enough to get more benefits for Li Xin.
