I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Song Li exhaled, and hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty's going out this time, Jiannu will also pour the country to fight. Our department lost a thousand or ten thousand people, which is not as good as the Nine Frontiers and the elite of the Forbidden Army who lost one person."

"You need bait in combat to catch big fish. Sinners are willing to make meritorious deeds and surrender to slave chiefs. If they succeed, they will only be regarded as meritorious deeds."

"If it doesn't work, you can kill yourself to be benevolent, serve the country with yourself, and prove yourself guilty."

After finishing speaking, Song Li kowtowed three times in succession, pressing his forehead to the ground, not daring to look up for a moment.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while, then waved his hands to indicate that the two brave soldiers could go down, and said lightly: "How can you guarantee that you will not really surrender to Jianzhou this time?"

Song Li panicked and said: "Your Majesty, I have some small calculations, greedy for money and lust, but I am not stupid to have filial piety towards my seventy-year-old mother."

"With the current situation, Jianzhou will be defeated, and our dynasty will be victorious. This is the common wish of all people in the world. If sinners go to build slaves at this time, they will not only be disloyal and filial, but also be in vain as a great minister."

"Your Majesty, I beg you to believe that the criminal will do this once!"

Zhu Youxiao thought about it, even if Song Li's water transport troops of more than 2 people went to Jianzhou, it would not matter to the battle situation.

If it is done, it will save some elite soldiers and generals.

Take a gamble?

After deliberating for a while, Zhu Youxiao observed Song Li's romantic expression again and again, and found that he didn't seem to be cheating, so he said, "Get up. I believe you this time. If everything works out, I will not only count your merits and demerits as equals, but also remember you You did it."

"If things fail, as long as you don't surrender to the Jian captives, I will also order people to look up to your old mother and cleanse you of being a sinner, in the name of loyalty and filial piety."

"Do you understand my words?"

Song Li was so overjoyed that he knocked his head until his blood flowed profusely.

"I fully understand, Your Majesty is benevolent, Your Majesty is wise!"

Seeing Song Li wiping the tears off his face while sitting in his seat, Zhu Youxiao felt a little helpless in his heart.

When I came to Tongzhou today, I planned to kill the generals to purge the army, but I didn't realize that in the current situation, it would be inappropriate to forcibly kill people at this time.

After thinking about it, he said again:

"As for those of you who committed the same crimes as Song Li, I will not blame the past today. I only hope that after the army leaves the customs, they will sweep up the court and avenge the thousands of people who died at the hands of Jianlu."

Hearing this, the rest of the generals stood up one after another and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, long live long live."

After leaving the imperial tent, Zhang Weixian waited for the rest of the soldiers to go away, and called Chen Ce to stop alone. After a few words of greeting, he said slowly:

"Governor Chen, you are always by His Majesty's side, do you know His Majesty's intentions today?"

Chen Ce said with a smile: "I don't know about it. Even Eunuch Wei can't understand His Majesty's thoughts, let alone me, a vulgar martial artist."

"As the commander of the imperial army, all I think about is how to protect His Majesty."

Zhang Weixian nodded and smiled awkwardly.

"To each other, I really can't figure out what His Majesty means this time."

"First, he wanted to kill Song Zongbing with great fanfare, but in a blink of an eye, he let him go. It is really bold to allow him to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds."

Chen Ce said as he walked: "What the Duke said, if His Majesty is cowardly and cowardly, how could there be a peaceful world in Daming?"

Zhang Weixian was taken aback when he heard the words, and then laughed: "That's right, that's right!"

……

The swearing-in ceremony was held as scheduled, and after that event passed, all 28 subordinates including Song Li were purged.

The impact it caused was even better than what Zhu Youxiao thought he had beheaded Song Li that day.

This time, soldiers from the six provinces of Shanxi, Shandong, Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Yunnan, as well as elite frontier troops from the three towns of Xuanfu, Datong, and Yulin gathered, totaling 26 troops.

If you count the 20 Liao army that was originally in Liaodong, since Saerhu, Ming Dynasty has never mobilized so many troops to leave the customs.

The six divisions of the capital were extremely busy. After the army was dispatched, the military expenses, food and salaries required for a day were tens of thousands.

Fortunately, Daming is not short of money now, so he can afford such a battle of wealth.

Zhu Youxiao followed the army, but did not go too far. The imperial driver stopped at Shanhaiguan, looking at Liaodong, and then sent a secret order to Xiong Tingbi.

The rest of the army continued to move forward and went to Liaoyang to join Xiong Tingbi.

As soon as the army arrived in Liaoyang, Huang Taiji found out through detailed investigations that before leaving the customs, Zhu Youxiao drove to Tongzhou and almost killed Song Li, the chief soldier of Xi'an Prefecture Water Transport.

And under Song Li's men, there are still [-] water transport soldiers available.

Before Song Li could go to Hetuala, Huang Taiji disguised himself and went to Liaoyang to court him.

On this day, Song Li was drinking in a tavern in Liaoyang City, waiting for news from his family about how to go to Hetuala and gain the trust of the old slave.

With a "creak", the door was pushed open.

A burly young man wearing a felt hat walked in and sat on the opposite side of him.

Song Li was dissatisfied, but he looked at this person's appearance carefully, he seemed to be like a dragon, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"If you beg for food, go elsewhere and I have no money for you!"

The young man took off his felt hat and said with a smile: "I am the person you are looking for, the lord of the Waterside Jurchen, the emperor of Dajin!"

Song Li was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Don't dare to talk nonsense, do you know where this is?"

"This is Liaoyang. Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded this place like an iron barrel. If you are really Huang Taiji, wouldn't you come here to die?"

Huang Taiji chuckled, and didn't say any more, his hawk-like eyes stared straight at the General Water Transport Soldier of the Xi'an Mansion of the Ming Dynasty:

"What enmity do I have with you, Da Jin?"

Song Li concluded that the person in front of him was Jianzhou Xizuo, but he didn't believe that the person in front of him was Huang Taiji. In fact, not only him, but even Xiong Tingbi didn't believe that at this time, Huang Taiji dared to come to Liaoyang alone to instigate the rebellion against the Ming general .

Song Li asked coldly, "What do you mean by that?"

Huang Taiji smiled lightly and filled a bowl of spirits for Song Li.

"A gentleman never kills the innocent. My Dajin and Er Daming have never had any enmity. Your emperor has harassed me Dajin again and again."

"Do you remember the seven great hatreds that my Emperor Taizu burned incense to sacrifice to the heavens, which are the seven great hatreds?"

Song Li was momentarily dazed by the question, took a sip of his wine, and then sneered: "Are you asking me to join Jianzhou? No, it's impossible."

"Your Khan, you must have heard that I was almost killed by His Majesty in the pass, so you came here to recruit, and I will tell you right away."

"If I surrendered to Jianzhou, wouldn't I be treasonous and deceitful?"

Huang Taiji also sneered, and said, "You are loyal, but unfortunately, why don't you think about it, he will kill you in front of everyone for such a trivial matter."

"Surrendering one's life for a foolish king like King Zhou and Qin II, that's foolish loyalty!"

Chapter 9 and Nine: Xiong Tingbi Takes Command

Song Li thought to himself, it really didn't take much effort to get it.

Anyway, this time I have to pay the crime and make meritorious deeds, pretending to be a slave. Since I met their secret work in the city, I might as well just follow the plan.

It's just that he needs to grasp a certain degree, he doesn't want to be suspicious of the old slave just after passing by, and lose his trust in Jianzhou. If he can live, who wants to die?

His eyes moved slightly, and he said coldly, "Who are you?"

At this time, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the tavern, but there was a Ming army from the pass entering the city to rendezvous.

Huang Taiji was astonished at the magnitude of Ming's counterattack this time, which was unprecedented before. When the footsteps faded away, he drank a full glass and said with a smile:

"As I said before, I am the emperor of Dajin, Huang Taiji."

Song Li was taken aback when he heard the words, and then laughed: "Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask again, please go back, I won't do things that betray the country and deceive the emperor."

Huang Taiji still sat there without moving, watching with pity on his face, until Song Li couldn't help asking again, "What are you looking at?"

Huang Taiji smiled and said: "Li Chengliang, Yang Hao, Yuan Chonghuan, which one of them did not do their best for Er Ming, but which one of them will end well?"

"Under the stupid actions of your Emperor Ming, those who were dismissed from office were dismissed from office, those who were imprisoned were sent to prison, and those who were forced to die were forced to die. Even dying in battle failed to gain a good reputation!"

"Could it be that Zongbing Song just wants to follow in their footsteps?"

Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes, looked at the Ming soldiers outside the tavern, and sneered: "Look at their appearance, how is it different from the Ming soldiers who came during the Sarhu battle ten years ago?"

"My Dajin was able to beat you back then, and I can do the same now, because our Jurchen warriors can stand up to ten!"

Song Li ignored him, but he didn't directly refuse, and silently calculated in his heart that it was time for him to agree.

Huang Taiji also saw the worry in the opponent's heart. After all, he was in Liaoyang now, and he couldn't wait for long. He decided to step up his offensive and obtain information that could change the situation of the battle from the general soldier of Ming.

"Now Zongbing Song doesn't vote for me, it's fine, but my Dajin always welcomes people of insight from all over the world to join us and create great achievements together."

"If we meet each other on the battlefield in the future, General Song can raise the red flag. Anyway, it will be a great achievement!" Huang Taiji then stood up and said sideways:

"If you vote now, I promise you that after defeating the Ming army, I will make you king!"

Song Li pondered for a long time, then stood up and said in shock, "You...are you really the Great Jin Emperor Huang Taiji?"

Huang Taiji smiled again, noncommittal, but stopped talking, and walked away.

For some reason, he smelled a dangerous breath.

……

A few days later, Shanhaiguan City.

Zhu Youxiao sits on the Guancheng, which is where Wu Sangui was furious and decided to send troops to fight against Li Chuang in history.

Wang Zhichen, the general of Shanhaiguan, and Chen Ce, the governor of the Yongwei Battalion, were seated on both sides of the lower head, and the rest of the generals were seated at the bottom of the steps.

The drizzle, the rustling spring breeze, the majestic pass and the vast sea, are like weeping and complaining.

Just as Zhu Youxiao was discussing matters with the generals, a fast horse stopped at the city pass, and a burly man in ancient mountain armor set foot on the pass.

"Liaodong Economic Strategist Xiong Tingbi, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live long live!"

Five years have passed since the last time Xiong Tingbi was re-activated to manage Liaodong. During this period, the monarch and his ministers have not met again. Zhu Youxiao has long been looking forward to this meeting.

Immediately said: "Please!"

Although this time it wasn't a platform summoning, and this place wasn't the majestic and towering Emperor's Hall, but as long as the people you met were here, this was where the Heavenly Hearing was located.

With great reverence, Xiong Tingbi tidied up his armor, which was a little crooked due to the bumps along the way, then took a deep breath and strode up the steps.

As soon as they arrived in the customs, all the generals looked over. The governor of Shanhaiguan, Wang Zhichen, had some disputes with Xiong Tingbi, and his expression seemed a little unnatural.

"Aiqing is doing well recently, but I miss you so much." Zhu Youxiao laughed loudly.

Xiong Tingbi was taken aback when he heard the words, his throat was a little choked, and he knelt down at the bottom of the steps with a thud, "Minister Xiong Tingbi, see my emperor long live!"

"Get up, get up!" Zhu Youxiao stood up, helped him up himself, and squeezed his hand tightly, "Aiqing, it's hard for you to support Liaodong alone."

Xiong Tingbi, an iron-blooded man, had his eyes moistened by these words, as if all the difficulties and bitterness of the years had been released.

Just this sentence made him feel that since the Wanli Dynasty, he has lived in Liao Dynasty for more than ten years, and everything is worth it.

"Your Majesty..." Xiong Tingbi staggered to his feet, "Hello, I'm fine. Is Your Majesty all right? Can Your Majesty still conscript himself?"

Zhu Youxiao pulled Xiong Tingbi to the side of the throne, and said with a smile:

"I have never been better than now. After the Southwest War, I have not personally conquered. I just waited for this opportunity to exterminate Jiannu and show my skills."

"Of course, it's up to you to fight the battle. I only want the head of the slave chieftain."

Xiong Tingbi smiled slightly. He had never been so at ease in the position of roasting on the stove of Liaodong Economic Strategy as he is now.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will try my best to bring back the living slaves, so that Your Majesty can cut this knife!"

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I don't believe anything Aiqing says, and I know that Aiqing never deceives me by saying unsure words."

"Wang Chengen, declare the decree."

Since Wang Chaofu is the eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace, and there are many affairs in the palace, it is really impossible to leave the palace. Therefore, Wang Chengen is usually brought out by Zhu Youxiao now.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengen immediately stepped forward and declared loudly:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

Xiong Tingbi lived in the Liao dynasty for five years, regained the entire Liao Dynasty, repeatedly defeated fake gold, and made great contributions to the country.Special Jia Zuozhu Kingdom, Prince Taibao, led the Ministry of War with the title of Shangshu, governor of the world's soldiers and horses, and asked for slaves in the east.

The Shangfang sword in his hand has the right to cut first and then play, and execute the generals below the general.In addition, 500 million taels of money and 5000 million shi of grain and grass will be issued to fight!

In this battle, all efforts must be made. The first battle to destroy Jiannu and the blood feud between the family and the country should be resumed.This is it. "

Xiong Tingbi's heart and mind trembled, he hurried to the imperial steps, knelt down on one knee, and shouted loudly: "Minister Xiong Tingbi, thank you for accepting the order!"
