Emperor Tianqi was attending the morning court, and the sun had not yet risen in Liaodong. Sun Chengzong walked out of his tent and saw Xiong Tingbi not far away. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Fei Bai, you got up very early!"

Looking at Sun Chengzong walking out, Xiong Tingbi gently cupped his fists and said in a deep voice: "I've seen the handsome man before!"

"Okay, Fei Bai! How many times have I told you, there is no need for this between you and me." After taking a look at the surrounding environment, Sun Chengzong said solemnly: "Commander, isn't it inappropriate for us to leave Shenyang like this? Yesterday I saw that General He Shixian’s face was not pretty!”

Taking a deep breath, Sun Chengzong suddenly felt that his whole body was clear, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, He Shixian is unhappy because we didn't take him with us, and he is jealous! Fei Bai! Don't worry, Yang Yuan has been Once arrested, your case will be cleared up immediately. I have already caught up with you. I will describe Fei Bai's achievements one by one, and I believe the emperor will reward you soon."

After giving a salute to Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi said respectfully: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your cultivation!"

"You deserve this." Sun Chengzong smiled and nodded, "Why didn't you see Mr. You? He shouldn't have gotten up so late?"

"Come back to your lord, Commander-in-Chief You has been up a long time ago. He should be inspecting the city. After all, this time the commander came out with only 5,000 troops, which is a bit thin! If something happens, none of us can afford it! "Xiong Tingbi still looked at Sun Chengzong with some worry. Although he knew that he could not change Sun Chengzong's mind, Xiong Tingbi still wanted to give it a try!

Shaking his head gently, Sun Chengzong looked at Xiong Tingbi seriously and said in a deep voice: "Fei Bai, although we won the battle of Shenyang, the situation in Liaodong is very complicated. Although we have been fighting with Mongolia for so many years, We have a good relationship, but our hatred is too deep and there is no way to reconcile. Once the Jian slaves are solved, then we will face Mongolia. It will take a lot of time and experience to completely pacify the northeast and northwest."

"But sir!" Xiong Tingbi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Sun Chengzong with a wave of his hand. Sun Chengzong said with a somewhat gloomy look: "I have ambitions and I also feel that I have the ability, but the weather has never stopped. I am already sixty this year. If there are more, how many things can be done for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty? When Zhuge Wuhou died with hatred, I don’t want to leave with regrets. In the remaining time of my life, I must seize the time to calm down the border troubles of the Ming Dynasty in order to repay Your Majesty What a blessing!”

"Your Majesty has a broad mind, and I admire you even though you are humble!" Looking at Sun Chengzong's serious expression and listening to Sun Chengzong's decisive words, Xiong Tingbi bowed to the ground and said emotionally: "Commander, Xiong Tingbi will definitely assist the Commander in his lifetime and realize the Commander-in-Chief's mission. Ambition to clear away the border troubles for the Ming Dynasty!"

While the two people were talking, You Shigong came over wearing armor, raised his fists towards Sun Chengzong and said respectfully: "I have seen the marshal in my humble position! I have seen the Xiong Meridian!"

"General You, where have we been?" Looking at You Shigong, Sun Chengzong asked in a deep voice.

"Go back to the commander, we will be at Shenyang Zhongwei soon. During the last battle in Shenyang, Jiannu sent people to besiege this place. However, Shenyang Zhongwei held on. Later, the commander repelled Jiannu, and Shenyang Zhongwei was saved. Come down." After giving a salute to Sun Chengzong, You Shigong said in a deep voice.

Nodding slowly, Sun Chengzong asked: "Who is the guard of the vanguard?"

"Excuse me, it's Wu Xiang. He was originally a general. Because of his meritorious service in the Shenyang battle, he has just been promoted to deputy general!" You Shigong has been in Liaodong for many years and knows the generals in Liaodong very well. He and Wu Xiang We have met several times. You Shigong admires Wu Xiang’s character quite a lot, but it’s been a long time since we last met!

After pondering for a moment, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Send the order to the whole army to have breakfast and arrive at the Shenyang vanguard before noon. I want to see this Wu Xiang."

Sitting on his carriage, Sun Chengzong was flipping through military books. For the Liaodong governor, reading had become a habit.

"Sir, we have arrived at Shenyang Zhongwei, but the city seems to be under martial law!" Xiong Tingbi, who was riding a horse outside, came to Sun Chengzong's carriage and said loudly.

Gently putting down the book in his hand, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "We didn't encounter the Shenyang Zhongwei's reconnaissance cavalry along the way. How did they know that someone was coming? Did they make preparations in advance?"

"My lord, although I didn't meet any scouts, I did see a lot of people. They should be scouts wearing makeup among them!" Xiong Tingbi pondered for a moment and said hesitantly.

Smiling and nodding, Sun Chengzong said with appreciation: "Before we arrived at Shenyang Zhongwei, this General Wu gave us a surprise. It seems that he is not an ordinary person!"

"Commander, please wait here for a moment. I humble myself and call the door!" Xiong Tingbi smiled loudly and walked forward.

Arriving at the gate of Shenyang Zhongwei, Xiong Tingbi found that this place was different from the last time he came here. The city walls were much higher and the trenches were deeper. It seemed that this place had been renovated after the last battle of Shenyang, but This Wu Xiang didn’t ask for money from the imperial court!

"Is that General Wu Xiang Wu up there?" Xiong Tingbi had just arrived at the city, and You Shigong on the side had already shouted to the city. Xiong Tingbi could only shake his head with a wry smile, with a look of helplessness on his face!

"It turns out to be General You. I haven't seen you for many days. How are you, General You? I'll send someone down to open the door!" Seeing an acquaintance below, Wu Xiang felt relieved. He had just received the report from the reconnaissance cavalry. There is only this one group of troops within a radius of ten miles. This group of troops only has 5,000 people, but there are 15,000 troops in the city. Even if there is any emergency, there will be no problem.

After a short time, the city gate slowly opened. Wu Xiang led the people out and said to You Shigong with a smile: "General You, please come into the city!"

When the horse came to Wu Xiang, You Shigong smiled and said: "General Wu, I am not here this time. The Liaodong Governor Sun Chengzong, Marshal Sun, and the Liaodong Manager Xiong Tingbi are here!"

After hearing You Shigong's words, Wu Xiang was stunned. Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, and Xiong Tingbi, the manager of Liaodong, were both here. What was he going to do? He hadn't done anything extraordinary? Besides, there was no need to mobilize troops like this to deal with him!

After pondering for a moment, Wu Xiang carefully looked at the Imperial Envoy Talisman Festival in the distance, wondering if it was a scam?

"Commander Wu, you're fine!" Just when Wu Xiang was hesitating, a voice came over. Wu Xiang looked at the source of the voice and saw a familiar face, it was Liaodong Economic Strategy Xiong Tingbi. Regarding Sun Chengzong, Wu Xiang only heard his name but never met him! But Xiong Tingbi and Wu Xiang had met several times and knew that the matter was true!

The horse came to Xiong Tingbi and the two men. Wu Xiang sat on the horse and hugged Xiong Tingbi with a fist, and said in a deep voice: "Wu Xiang, the humble Shenyang Central Guard guard, has met Mr. Xiong Jinglue!"

"General Wu is exempt from the courtesy. I haven't seen General Wu for many days. He still looks good. Come with me to see the commander in chief! The commander in chief is inspecting Liaodong and this is the first stop. I hope General Wu is prepared!" came to Wu Xiang. Beside him, Xiong Tingbi said with a smile.

Nodding seriously, Wu Xiang said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Xiong, Wu Xiang is grateful!"

The three of them got off their horses and arrived in front of Sun Chengzong's carriage. At this time, Sun Chengzong had already got off the carriage.

When walking this way, Sun Chengzong and Wu Xiang were sizing each other up. In Wu Xiang's eyes, Sun Chengzong was a kind old man, and he looked more like an old man who read poetry and books. But when he saw Sun Chengzong's When looking at Sun Chengzong, Wu Xiang felt that it was very unusual. Sun Chengzong's eyes were very gentle, not sharp, but extremely profound. Regarding Sun Chengzong, Wu Xianghe did not dare to underestimate him. His status could be said to be the number one person in the dynasty. . He was deeply respected and trusted by Emperor Tianqi, and his official position was too much higher than his own.

When Wu Xiang looked at Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong was also looking Wu Xiang up and down. He was a middle-aged man about forty years old. He was wearing armor and had a sword on his waist. He looked very heroic.

"Wu Xiang, who is serving as deputy general of the Shenyang Central Guard, has met Uncle Sun Shuai! I didn't know that the commander was coming, so I humbled myself and saluted him, and asked him to forgive me!" Wu Xiang said loudly as he lifted up his shirt and knelt down.

Stepping forward to help Wu Xiang up, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "General Wu, please rise. As the saying goes, someone who comes uninvited is a bad visitor. Although I am the governor of Liaodong, I came to General Wu's territory without saying hello. I hope General Wu Don’t be offended!”

"Commander, the whole world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the ministers of the king. They are guarding Shenyang Zhongwei in a humble position. This is actually the territory of the Ming Dynasty. How can it be the territory of the humble position? The commander-in-chief is the governor of Liaodong, and the land in Liaodong is under the jurisdiction of the commander-in-chief. , all civil and military officials are under the control of the commander-in-chief. There is nothing wrong with the commander-in-chief's inspection of Liaodong. How dare you have an opinion if you are a humble official? He is a rough man. These are heart-breaking words from the commander-in-chief. Please forgive me for not accepting this!" Wu hugged Sun Chengzong with a fist in his arms. Xiang said with a stern face.

Smiling and nodding, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Okay, General Wu has such a strong character, I am very pleased! If all the soldiers in Liaodong have the same thoughts as General Wu, why worry about establishing slaves and not destroying them!"

Wu Xiang was stunned when he saw Sun Chengzong's attitude. He thought that Sun Chengzong would be furious when he spoke like this. He didn't expect that Sun Chengzong would have this attitude. This Marshal Sun was not a matter of ability, but his magnanimity was rare in the world. No civil servant Wu Xiang had ever seen was there. Among the few, one with such a big heart as Sun Chengzong was the first one. He raised his fist towards Sun Chengzong and said loudly: "The commander-in-chief has a broad mind. I admire you for your humble position. Please forgive me for being humble and unreasonable!"

Smiling and shaking his head, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "General Wu, you are so polite. I like people with temperaments like the general the most. I believe we will be able to get along happily!"
