"My father is still alive?" After hearing Suk Saha's words, Luzhu, who was jumping like a live donkey just now, immediately became quiet.

"Suk Saha, you know you want me to let you Jurchens go. Just one Li Beile is not enough." Li Xiao said softly without waiting for Suk Saha to answer.

"Enough blood has been shed in these years of war. Since you Baylor ordered your slaves to come to the capital, you just want to avoid innocent bloodshed. If you have any orders, Commander, just tell the slaves. If you can agree, the slaves will definitely give it to you. A satisfactory answer. If we can't agree, Marshal Li will understand our difficulties." After Suk Saha finished speaking, he stood aside and waited for Li Xiao to make the conditions.

This is like putting yourself on the chopping block, waiting for someone else to take a knife to chop you.

"You're so happy, kid! In this case, I won't hide it!

You must return Shenyang, Liaoyang, Fushun, and Tieling to us. After all, these places are the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and as a general of the Ming Dynasty, I also have the responsibility to regain the lost territory."

"Commander! We Jurchens in these places also paid the price with blood...!"

"Suk Saha, you have to figure it out. I am informing you now, not talking about the conditions with you. You must agree to the conditions I mentioned. If you don't agree, Ao Canghai and the others will kill you all and then do it. What? At that time, are you qualified to talk to me about things?" Li Xiao looked at Suk Saha with pity, like looking at an ant.

"...!" Suk Saha was choked and speechless. The handle of the knife was in someone else's hand. As the weakest party now, Suk Saha was really not qualified to negotiate terms with Li Xiao.

"Hmph!" Seeing Suk Saha's appearance, Li Xiao snorted contemptuously. Suk Saha arched his waist with his hands arched, and his head was about to be stuffed into his crotch.

"All the Han slaves you plundered must be handed over to us. The people of the Ming Dynasty will never be slaves to others."

Suk Saha listened to Li Xiao's words. This time he was very good and motionless like a pug.

"That's the third one! You want to bring the heads of Daishan and his sons and grandsons. Listen carefully, from Erbaile Daishan to the suckling baby, I will cut off the heirs of Daishan's family. As for Daishan's family, Amin's family, you need to arrest them all and wait for my disposal."

After listening to Li Xiao's words, Suk Saha trembled all over. But he didn't dare to start a fight!

"If you can do it, I can consider giving you Port Arthur. From Port Arthur to the banks of the Malan River, as well as a large area of ​​land like Jinzhou, I will give it to you."

"Do you really mean what the commander said?" Suk Saha's eyes immediately lit up. If the Daishan family were killed and the Han slaves were evacuated, there wouldn't be many Jurchens left. From Lushun to Jinzhou, this is such a big area. The place is enough for the Jurchens to live.

Moreover, in recent years, the Han people have been cultivating in Lushun. A large area of ​​land in Lushun is cultivated and mature land. As long as you take over it, you can plant it without clearing wasteland. Suk Saha never imagined that pie in the sky could really fall into the sky.

"Damn it, when has my marshal ever deceived anyone? Go back and bring the heads of Daishan's family, and the marshal will naturally reward you with the best land." Zu Dashou pointed at Suk Saha's nose. , Suk Saha didn’t even look at Zu Dashou, but stared straight at Li Xiao.

"As long as you stay there peacefully, my soldiers will not take a step beyond the border. But if you cross the border and come and grab it if you have nothing to do, don't blame my men for being ruthless." Li Xiaoleng. Warning with a straight face.

"No! No! We will definitely live in peace and harmony, Commander-in-Chief Xie! Commander-in-Chief Xie!" Suk Saha suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowing like a beetle on the ground with "bang" and "bang". He never imagined in his dreams that the conditions How could it be so generous?

"Thank you first, please bring the heads of Daishan's family over here first." Li Xiao used his feet to pull Suk Saha's head.

"I will definitely get it done! I will definitely get it done."

"Then my dad...!" Lu Zhu boldly asked since she hadn't heard that Li Xiao listed Li Yongfang as a condition.

"Li Beile...! Of course Li Beile will be sent back immediately. When the slave returns to Shenyang, he will send Li Beile over." After receiving such generous terms, Suk Saha felt happy. Li Yongfang's life and death, It is nothing compared to the lives of tens of thousands of Jurchens.

"Let's go!" Li Xiao said, and the guards took Suksa, who was grateful, out.

"It's easier for these Tatars." Luzhu muttered softly.

"Silly girl, the Tatars are finished. It seems to me that the Tatars left in Liaodong are about to be exterminated." Old Chen Fu stroked his beard and sounded like he was lecturing the younger generation.

Li Xiao sent Suk Saha away, not because he didn't want to kill the Jurchens. The reality really didn't allow it!

In the battle of Dalinghe, Amin risked his life and made a desperate attack. The melee in the darkness of the first division caused heavy casualties, and the battle with the blue flag was fought to the last drop of blood. It really drove the Tatars into panic. If we take action, the casualties will definitely not be small.

Once they are forced to flee into Changbai Mountain, it will be even more of a nightmare.

These Jurchens originally made a living by fishing and hunting, and Changbai Mountain was their home. At that time, famous generals like Jun Song and Liu Ting were wiped out because they were not familiar with the terrain in the mountains. If Ao Canghai and others were sent to rush into Changbai Mountain, Li Xiao felt that he would win. It's hard to say whether it's true or not. The current equipment and organization are more suitable for positional warfare rather than close combat against bandits.

In the final analysis, there are still too few soldiers.

It is estimated that it will take more than half a year for the First Division to recover after this battle. The Second Division has strong soldiers and horses, but there are only a few thousand people of the Second Division guarding the huge Liaodong, which is enough for Yuan Chonghuan to waste his thoughts.

The third division is still training in Jinan, and by the way, they are working with Mangui to suppress the ground in Shandong. Zu Dashou's second cavalry division is now constantly chasing and killing the fleeing rebels in Hebei, and is almost as tired as a dog.

Li Xiao made some calculations. If he wanted to occupy Hebei, he would have to reorganize another division. Otherwise, he would not have any maneuverability at all!

After the Tatars surrendered, Liaodong was finally consolidated in Li Xiao's hands. In addition, Hebei and Shandong were annexed. Now Li Xiao already owns land in three provinces, but his military strength is far from being able to control so much land. degree.

Political power comes from the barrel of a gun, and Li Xiao understands this truth.

What needs to be understood most now is the emperor's attitude. After all, no matter how hard Li Xiao goes, this country is still named Zhu. In the hearts of the people, the emperor of the Zhu family is still the co-owner of the world.

"The news came back from Nanjing that the emperor was ill. After Qian Qianyi conquered Zhang Xianzhong, he gave him half of Henan to manage. Now the situation in the south is murky and unclear, and I can't figure out what the court's plan is." Old Chen Fu reported everything to Li Xiao.

"What's the idea? It's not just to coerce the emperor to order the princes. Now, Qian Qianyi holds the emperor in his hands. I think this was the idea when he allowed the situation in Shaanxi to deteriorate. These scholars, There are so many tricks in my heart. No wonder it is said that the destructive power of smart people doing evil is more than ten times that of stupid people."

"For one's own selfish interests to reach this point, it is also shocking. The most rare thing is that the layout is carefully calculated and precise. The world is like a chess game, and Qian Qianyi can manipulate it. This scheming, means, and overall view are really

He is extremely thoughtful and considerate." Zhang Huangyan expressed his sincere admiration.

To be able to control the affairs of the world to this extent, and to calculate the risks step by step. Zhang Huangyan asked himself that he still couldn't do this! Some things seem easy, but with such a huge empire and so many people, no matter how good the strategy is, it is time to implement it.

When working, you will always encounter some problems of one kind or another. It is inevitable that things will go wrong!

To get things to this point, at least one person needs to be able to play eight balls.

"Take the emperor! Order the princes! I have become a prince now! I want to know what Qian Qianyi wants to do." Li Xiao sat down on the chair and motioned for Zhang Huangyan and old Chen Fu to sit down too.

"What else can he do? The capital is now occupied by the commander-in-chief. He will probably ask the commander-in-chief to withdraw from the capital and return to Shandong. Or maybe he will make the commander-in-chief continue to advance westward. He will regain Shanxi and Xi'an in Guanzhong, Shaanxi, and now there are

The epidemic is rampant, and Huang Taiji will suffer a lot."

"Is the epidemic in Guanzhong serious?"

"Before Huang Taiji returned to Guanzhong, the epidemic had already broken out in the army. It was even more serious when it arrived in Guanzhong. It is said that Guanzhong is now so turbulent that ten rooms are empty. Everyone who can escape has fled. The Hanzhong generation is full of refugees. Many people are flocking to Guanzhong.

Enter Bashu! I heard that an epidemic has begun in Hanzhong!" Old Chen Fu sighed.

"We can't go to Guanzhong in this situation. The epidemic in Beijing has been controlled with great difficulty. But the epidemic in Hebei has not been cleared up yet. Even if we want to go to Guanzhong, we have to wait until the gust of wind passes." Zhang Huangyan was very scared, Li Xiao

I want to swallow Guanzhong in one breath. Young people always have the habit of being overjoyed with success!

"Going to Guanzhong? Where did the soldiers come from? Our method of dealing with the epidemic is to start preventing and controlling the plague in one city or one place when it first arises. It is quite adequate. If it were to be as large as Guanzhong, there would be no way to control it. What we have to do now

, is to control Hebei and connect Liaodong, Hebei and Shandong into one. This is also why I left the Tatars with two red flags and gave Port Arthur to them.

Once all the prey has been caught, the hounds are not far away from the pot!" Sun Chengzong came up with the idea of ​​raising bandits to respect themselves. A group of tens of thousands of people with two red flags went to Lushun, and they were just cats in cages. They had nothing to take.

He came out to play for a while and said that there are tigers in the Northeast and I can't move around yet. Li Xiao felt that this old fox's idea was only suitable for deceiving preschool children with an IQ of 60.

Politics is like this. In fact, many times you just have to find an excuse. As for the truth, no one cares!

For an opponent like Qian Qianyi, who is very thoughtful and takes one step at a time, it is necessary to act rogue occasionally.

"It is a blessing for the Liao army that the general has such an idea. Qian Qianyi did a great job. All the refugees were detained in Lianghuai and Henan, and could not reach Jiangnan. This time the epidemic only affected Shandong and Liaodong.

and Jiangnan were spared.

We don't have the energy to attack Guanzhong, but Qian Qianyi does. I feel that Hong Chengchou's surrender seems a bit strange. That guy has always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and both the emperor and Qian Qianyi value him. But at Zijingguan,

This guy surrendered without firing a shot. No matter where you look at it, it doesn't make sense. Juyongguan still held out for two days. Hong Chengchou had a strong army and horse, but the Tatars surrendered as soon as they arrived. This doesn't make sense."

"Could it be said that this is also Qian Qianyi's plan?" Li Xiao felt a chill running down his spine. When he occupied the capital, he still felt that Qian Qianyi and his ilk did not care about this.

"The world is criss-crossed. Who can understand that the world is like a chess game?" Zhang Huangyan recited loudly.

The New Year is here, and people in Liaodong, Shandong, and the capital are all celebrating the New Year lively. But some places in Henan, Guanzhong, Shanxi, and Hebei are wailing.

In the cold wind, every household had no smoke. It was not that there was no food to cook, but that all the members of the family were dead. A nest of rats climbed onto the bed and ate the flesh of the dead. Every one of them had red eyes after eating.

Even a living person would dare to charge at him and bite him.

You can't see anyone on the road at all, and if you see one, they are dead people who are frozen to death. Wherever the refugees go, they will be chased away by the local government. It is not as good as peace dogs to keep away from the chaos. This is true at all. At this time, people and even dogs are

Not as good as.

The city of Kaifeng was filled with people who had fled famine, many of whom were wealthy families who had escaped from the capital city. They wanted to take their money and follow the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River. But they didn't expect that they would be stopped in Henan and they wouldn't be allowed to leave at all.

Go to Jiangnan.

Food is so expensive that it’s like robbing money. After spending all the money, you become a beggar. Crowds of people are crowded together, relying on each other’s body temperature to keep each other warm through the winter. Late at night, you can always hear people making noises from the cold.

Howling like a beast.

When the city gate is opened in the early morning, there will be people driving carts to patrol. Anyone who can't stand up after being kicked will be thrown into the cart, and then pulled out of the city and thrown into the cremation field to be burned. Burning the dead bodies, this

It is the government's only means of health and epidemic prevention.

Just dig a big pit for the burned corpse. When the ashes in the pit are almost full, cover it with a layer of floating soil. God knows how many people's ashes are in there, but no one cares or checks.

Guanzhong, Shanxi, and Henan are living hells on earth.

Li Xiao asked storytellers to spread the news about these places. The eyes of the people in the capital gradually changed when they looked at the people in the Love Committee. Some people changed from passive control to active cooperation.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the capital organized a voluntary labor. Countless people came to the outskirts of Beijing with tools to fill in a place called Longxugou. Because the Love Committee said that many mosquitoes would breed here in the summer. This is the capital

The source of the epidemic!

Zheng Sen put down the shovel in his hand and straightened his aching waist.

"Brother, drink some water!" A beautiful girl with big eyes came over with a large porcelain bowl in her hand.
