Chapter 776: The Scheme of Disaster 3
Liu Konghe frowned and turned his head to look at Li Yan behind him. The latter had a slight smile on his face and even waved to greet him.
He Jin pushed Liu Konghe hard and said impatiently: "If you want to die, go out of the city quickly. Don't be too slow here. I still have something to do, and I don't have time to delay you."
Liu Konghe didn't say anything, hesitated for a moment, and finally left with a step.
Gu Junen looked at Liu Konghe's back as he left, frowned, "Lin Quan, Liu Konghe is just a small general. Even if he went to the capital to sue Liu Zeqing, are you sure the Ming court would really believe him? And even if Emperor Chongzhen really believed Liu Konghe, Liu Zeqing lived in Shandong, with tens of thousands of troops and strong military strength. How could Emperor Chongzhen move him at this time when the war was approaching? Aren't you worried that we would take advantage of the situation to attack and take down Shandong; or completely force Liu Zeqing to surrender to our army or support our army or support our army?"
Li Yan smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Gu, do you think Emperor Chongzhen can do anything according to his wishes?"
"What?" Gu Junen did not understand what Li Yan meant.
"Although Li has never seen Emperor Chongzhen, he thinks he has at least two obvious personalities according to his previous actions. One is that he loves false reputation. He named him Chongzhen, which means revival, and he also feels that he is the lord of the Ming Dynasty. In order to achieve this goal, he was diligent and frugal, he is willing to obey the opinions of his ministers, and everything is required to be based on the standards of ancient wise kings. Therefore, compared with his previous emperors, he is undoubtedly a wise king. But too much is not enough. He cares too much about his identity as the lord of the revival, and therefore especially cares about others' views on him."
Gu Junen suddenly realized, "Lin Quan means that he will have to do something against his wishes because of other people's opinions, such as offending Liu Zeqing."
Li Yan nodded and said, "Although Liu Konghe was just a small general, his grandfather Liu Yixiang had served as deputy envoy of Shaanxi, and his father Liu Hongxun had also held high position as a Grand Secretary. The Grand Secretary has always been the cultural heritage of the Ming court, and has been involved with the Donglin Party members who claim to be righteous. This time, Liu Zeqing plundered Jining and accused Liu Konghe of surrendering to our army. As long as Liu Konghe arrived in the capital, he would do his best to clear himself of the charges, and all he could rely on was the Donglin Party members who were famous for his blunt words. Although Liu Zeqing controlled tens of thousands of soldiers, he was a military man after all and was despised by Wenliu of the Ming court. What he did was also despised by the Donglin Party members. In this case, they would do their best to assist Liu Konghe and convince Emperor Chongzhen to accuse Liu Zeqing."
Gu Junen still said with a puzzled face: "Although what Lin Quan said makes some sense, and what Liu Zeqing did is indeed an unforgivable crime, will the Donglin Party members still hold him to him at this time? After all, the situation on the front line is tense, and they have to rely more on Liu Zeqing's troops. Can't they even see this?"
Li Yan sighed and said, "They can see it, and they can see it very clearly, but what they care about is the power in their hands and their reputation for justice. Not to mention that Liu Zeqing is just a right governor, and the world knows the crimes he committed; even if he has a higher position and no official commits any crimes, they will still pull anyone down without hesitation for power."
After hearing this, Gu Junen sighed and said, "Lin Quan can see clearly. This is true. The border affairs are corrupt and civil strife continues, and the struggles with the ministers above the court are not limited to breaking away from them."
Li Yan nodded and said, "This Ming Dynasty has become rotten to its roots. Only a drastic change can be completely changed. King Xinshun is undoubtedly your and my best choice."
Gu Junen smiled and said, "What Lin Quan said is that King Xinshun will be able to bear the will of heaven and overthrow the Explosive Ming Dynasty."
He Jin came up from the city and saw the two of them saying, "Mr. Li, Military Advisor Gu, what are you talking about!"
Li Yan said: "It's nothing, it's just a little gossip. He Duwei, Mr. Gu and I are about to return to Bianjing, and we will leave this Jining City to you to guard. Although Liu Zeqing has reached an agreement with our army, this person is cunning and changeable and cannot be trusted. You should be careful about everything."
He Jin bowed and replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Li. The Jining City is handed over to me, and it is just a turtle who eats the weight, and it is very calm. If King Liu dares to attack, I will definitely let him go without finishing it."
Li Yan smiled and didn't say anything. But Gu Junen said softly: "That's a turtle who eats weights and is determined."
He Jin touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Is that so? It's almost the same anyway."
Li Yan later said, "Also, two days later, you will send someone to inform Liu Zeqing. Then you said that Liu Konghe escaped from our army and took away his account of the food transaction between him and our army."
He Jin replied: "I understand. I also want to say that Liu Konghe not only took away all the accounts, but also knew how Liu Yanwang robbed Jining City."
Li Yan looked back at Gu Junen and smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, have you seen it? Our powerful general He Duwei has also become smarter. I think it is completely worry-free to hand over Jining City to him."
Gu Junen smiled and said, "I think so too. By the way, have you heard of Lin Quan and Huaixi news?"
Li Yan nodded, "After failing to cross the river, Sun Kewang's strength was greatly damaged, and he was defeated by Zuo Liangyu and Ma Shiying again and had to switch to the mountainous areas of Huaixi. Although he had the support of the local people, his strength was slightly restored. Although Zuo Liangyu intended to raise the enemy and respect himself, he only adopted a siege against them. However, the land there was barren, the people were strong, and the food and grass were in short supply, so it was not a place for a long time. After our army occupied Yingzhou, Sun Kewang sent someone to ask for help. At that time, the king of the rebels Gu Xi's friendship with his hometown and gave them two thousand stones of food and grass. But not long ago, Liu Tongzheng said that Sun Kewang asked for help again."
Gu Junen was silent for a moment and said, "Lin Quan, although Sun Kewang has suffered consecutive defeats, he has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. I want to report to King Xinshun and take some food and grass to Huaixi to persuade Sun Kewang to surrender to my king. What do you think about this?"
Without thinking for a moment, Li Yan shook his head and said, "This matter cannot be done. Sun Kewang is a man with great ambitions and talent, and has a firm mind. He will never stay at home for a long time. Even if he is willing to surrender at this moment, he will rebel in the future, and there is no need to surrender."
Gu Junen frowned and sighed, "Ten thousand troops will never be used by our Lord."
Li Yan smiled and said, "It's not difficult to use these tens of thousands of troops by our army."
Gu Junen said with a puzzled face: "If you don't persuade Sun Kewang to surrender, how can these tens of thousands of troops be used for our army?"
