Yang Sichang said again: "Chen Xinjia can make such a great contribution, it will inevitably be inseparable from Li Guodong. Li Guodong is invincible, resourceful, and has repeatedly defeated Jiannu."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded softly: "Chen Xinjia's memorial has also mentioned Li Aiqing many times."

While the king and his ministers were talking, an eunuch came outside to report: "Governor Chen Xinjia of Xuanda has arrived."

"Come in with Chen Aiqing!"

Chen Xinjia walked into the Xinuan Pavilion nervously and excitedly. What he was nervous was that the Qing army captured Qufu this time, killed Yan Shenggong's family and burned the Confucius Temple. He was afraid that the emperor's son Longyan was furious about this matter. He was excited that he won the victory this time and killed more than 5,000 Jiannu people, of which 3,500 heads were won. Although more than 200 real slaves were not obtained, and more than 1,300 fake slaves were not obtained, these 3,500 Mongolian Tartars were already a great achievement. I hope these heads could dilute the murder of Yan Shenggong.

Entering the warm pavilion, Chen Xinjia secretly looked at Yang Sichang. When he saw his benefactor nodding to him, he was overjoyed. He knew that there must be something good about the saint this time, and he felt confident.

Chen Xinjia knelt on the ground and kowtowed to salute. Emperor Chongzhen said, "Chen Aiqing, I feel very comforted that you have achieved such a great victory. Come and give Chen Aiqing a seat!"

A eunuch brought a chair and Chen Xinjia knelt down again: "Your Majesty, you have such a great victory, and the weak minister dare not regard himself as a lie."

Although Chen Xinjia wrote the memorial clearly, Emperor Chongzhen still asked again.

Chen Xinjia quickly planned and sent troops to rescue Gao Yang to add fuel to the fire. When he said that Li Guodong was in danger, Emperor Chongzhen was so nervous that he almost stood up. Chen Xinjia changed his mind and said that he had arrived in time with the Guanning Iron Cavalry. Not only did he save Li Guodong, but he also killed more than 3,000 Mongolian Tartars. Emperor Chongzhen was relieved. Then Chen Xinjia said that he had personally arranged a large camp and confronted Jiannu. Seeing that he had arranged his own arrangements, he did not dare to attack. Chen Xinjia ordered Li Guodong to lead Ye Bushu to attack and kill more than 100 real slaves.

"More than one hundred real slaves?" Emperor Chongzhen's eyes shone in his eyes, "Why haven't Chen Aiqing mentioned this in his memorial?"

"My memorial has already been brought to the capital, and General Li has won another victory. So Mr. Wei's new good news was mentioned." Chen Xinjia took out another good news from his sleeve and submitted it to him.

Wang Chengen took the victory and handed it to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to see Longyan and exclaimed: "Okay! OK!"

After reading the good news, Chongzhen turned to look at Chen Xinjia and said, "Chen Aiqing, you haven't finished talking yet, continue talking."

Chen Xinjia said that he took advantage of the opportunity to delay the Qing army and ordered Li Guodong to send troops to rescue Gaoyang. Li Guodong really lived up to his high expectations. Three thousand cavalry arrived in Gaoyang, and killed five hundred fake slaves of the Han army flag, destroyed the Qing army's siege fortifications, entered the city, and Gaoyang City was safe.

As for what Li Guodong did, it was after Li Guodong left the city at night, and found that the Qing army had evacuated, so he rushed to Changping and reported the victory to Chen Xinjia. Only then did Chen Xinjia know the detailed story. In front of Emperor Chongzhen, Chen Xinjia said everything, and added a lot of literary rhetoric to ask for his contribution.

"Is Li Aiqing in Changping? I want to summon him to meet the saint in the capital." Emperor Chongzhen asked.

Chen Xinjia said: "General Li is still in Gaoyang and has not received the imperial edict from the court, so he dare not send troops back to Changping without permission."

"Then why don't you tell him to come to Beijing quickly!"

"Yes! I obey the order!" Chen Xinjia got up from the seat and kowtowed.

Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia left the Xihunting Pavilion, and Wang Chengen went out in person and greeted them.

While walking on the road, Wang Chengen suddenly spoke, "Old Master Yang, Chen Tuchen, do you two know that the emperor is almost going to issue a self-criticism?"

Chen Xinjia was stunned as if he was electrocuted, but Yang Sichang replied softly: "Eunuch Wang, in fact, when Yang was facing the saint, he also saw the blank edict on His Majesty's desk. At that time, His Majesty did not mention it, so it was difficult for Yang to mention it, for fear that his Majesty's good mood would be ruined."

Wang Chengen shed tears: "This is Your Majesty's third self-crime edict! I have been serving the emperor for more than twenty years since I was young. During the incident of Yansheng Gong, the emperor's hair turned white. Fortunately, there were two good news sent by them, so I thanked the emperor for the emperor."

After saying that, Wang Chengen bowed.

Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia hurriedly supported Wang Chengen: "Eunuch Wang, no!"

Wang Chengen kept sending the two to the palace gate: "Two people walk slowly, I hope they will invite General Li to the palace to meet the saint."

After leaving the palace gate, Yang Sichang said to Chen Xinjia: "Brother Chen, Your Majesty has a great impression of you. With this military merit in hand, I will be tempered in Xuanda for a few years in the future. I will be able to join the cabinet department in the future."

Chen Xinjia was overjoyed: "It's all thanks to Mr. Yang."

"Then Li Guodong, originally a confidant of Yang, has now handed over to you. If you can use this person well, it will be no problem to make contributions in the future."

Chen Xinjia quickly bowed deeply to Yang Sichang: "Thank you, Mr. Yang."

"Brother Chen, please follow Yang back to his house and come to you in detail." Yang Sichang invited Chen Xinjia to his house.

After arriving at Yang's mansion and sitting down in the study, Yang Sichang told Chen Xinjia that Li Guodong had formed an alliance with the Mongolians outside the pass, united Mongolia to annihilate a large number of Jin troops. When did he see the battle on the Yellow River in Hequ, Yang Sichang's eyes shone brightly, as if he was on the battlefield himself. In that battle, tens of thousands of beheaded, and when did the Ming Dynasty have such a record against the Jin Kingdom? At the end, Yang Sichang sighed: "It's a pity that Yang's family had to go home and worry, which led to the fact that the Mongolian Alliance was ruined. Now that Jiannu has unified Mongolia, our Ming Dynasty is even more in danger."

Chen Xinjia said: "Old Yang Ge, the official dared to say that Jiannu was a disease of scabies, and the bandits had just had a great problem."

"Brother Chen is such a bad word!" Yang Sichang sighed and shook his head and said, "The situation of Jiannu has been completed. I have Jiannu outside and bandits inside. It is already in danger! Yang did his best to destroy the slaves. Originally, Li Guodong joined forces with Mongolia, and the situation was very good, but it was delayed because of Yang's family affairs. Now that we have to deal with Jiannu, we can only quell the civil strife first. Unfortunately, Jiannu killed Yan Shenggong's family and burned the Confucius Temple, and there was no way to negotiate with peace talks."

"It's over, what should I do?" Chen Xinjia was shocked.

Yang Sichang sighed: "When Li Guodong is transferred to Jizhou to assist the Guanning Army in defending Jiannu, and then do his best to eliminate the bandits! However, the Guanning Army's family is in Liaodong. If there are foreign generals who come to Jizhou, they may be excluded. You and I should ask for credit for Li Guodong, so that he can gain a foothold after he goes to Jizhou."

"Can't the Guanning Army stop Jiannu?"

Yang Sichang replied: "The Guanning Army defeated Jiannu, and it was more defeated than defeated. Only Li Guodong defeated Jiannu, and almost no defeat! This matter cannot explain the problem? It's a pity that Li Guodong had too few troops and had no territory for him to explore. We have to support this person more."

The next day, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Li Guodong back to Beijing to meet the saint's edict to Gaoyang County.

After Li Guodong thanked the emperor for his kindness, he stuffed a twenty tael of silver ingot to the eunuch, and then gave the few eunuchs who accompanied him one by one to pieces. Then Li Guodong lit up the 2,700 troops in the headquarters, left Gaoyang, and prepared to return to the capital.

The Jinyang army returned to Beijing. Halfway through the way, he saw an army heading south.

"Tianxiong Army! It is the Tianxiong Army of Commander Lu! Why did Commander Lu go south?" The sharp-eyed Han Dashan discovered that the team heading south was Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army!

In addition to the 20,000 Tianxiong army of Lu Xiangsheng, there were also 5,000 Yang Guozhu's powerful troops, 5,000 horses, Wang Pu's 8,000 horses, and nearly 40,000 army of nearly 40,000 troops. Although he had not seen Lu Xiangsheng yet, Li Guodong knew very well that Lu Xiangsheng had received the news that the Qing army was heading south, and took the initiative to send troops and followed the Qing army south.
