Qi Jin was stunned when he heard Sun Chengzong's words. Looking at the imperial edict in Sun Chengzong's hand, he was a little at a loss. Could this be the imperial edict given to him by the emperor? It was impossible even if he thought about it. He gently took the edict and opened it slowly.

Qi Jin looked at it seriously.

After a long time, Qi Jin slowly closed the imperial edict and handed it back to Sun Chengzong. He stood aside respectfully without saying a word.

Looking at Qi Jin with a smile, Sun Chengzong said in a rather playful tone: "General Qi, what do you think of this matter?"

After being stunned for a moment, Qi Jin said in a rather solemn tone: "My lord, don't you say anything because of your humble position in this matter? My lord has deep trust in the emperor, and it is better to make your own decision when it comes to important matters."

Seeing that Qi Jin was quite cautious, Sun Chengzong smiled helplessly and said in a sad tone: "General Qi, I have heard about what happened to the Qi family army for a long time. The imperial court did do something wrong, and no one can do anything about it.

I deny it. However, I also have something to say. Although the current emperor is young, he is very wise. His Majesty has only been on the throne for a short time, and has been busy with many things. He has temporarily neglected the affairs of the Qi family army. But it doesn’t matter. I will write the memorial for you.

Qi Jiajun asks for credit, I don’t need to say anything, as long as he sees Qi Jiajun’s name, the emperor will definitely use it.”

Listening to Sun Chengzong's sincere words, Qi Jin was slightly startled, but he also felt that what he said made sense. He smiled lightly, and said with gratitude: "Sir, Qi Jin has been working hard for many years, and he no longer has the strength he had when he was young.

It's frivolous. Now that people are middle-aged, they don't want much, as long as they can be safe and sound."

Sun Chengzong was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect that Qi Jin, who was so high-spirited back then, would actually say such words now. When he saw Qi Jin's peaceful eyes, Sun Chengzong suddenly realized that Qi Jin was not lacking in energy but was much more restrained. Obviously, he was much more restrained.

After so many years of hard work, Qi Jin's energy has not been worn away, but he has grown a lot.

After pondering for a moment, Sun Chengzong smiled calmly and said softly: "General Qi, let's not talk about this matter anymore. Let's wait and see in the future! Now let's talk about the matter at hand. Regarding the expedition abroad,

General Qi, what do you think?"

Seeing Sun Chengzong asking him this question directly, Qi Jin frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "Sir, I wonder what you think about this matter?"

Seemingly realizing that Qi Jin really didn't intend to speak first, Sun Chengzong nodded slowly and said in a low tone: "I have been thinking about this matter, but I have never thought about it well. The imperial court attaches great importance to this matter, Jiannu

Breaking into the Great Wall is already a very embarrassing thing. It is already very difficult for the emperor to be able to restrain himself at this time. It is very rare for a young emperor like the emperor to be able to do this."

Hearing Sun Chengzong's words, Qi Jin nodded slowly. When he saw Emperor Tianqi's words that he would not accept the emperor's life, Qi Jin knew that this was an extraordinary monarch. After all, whether in the Ming Dynasty or the

In history, such an emperor is very rare.

Seeing Qi Jin nodding, Sun Chengzong knew that he agreed with his opinion, so he continued: "Although the emperor will not blame us no matter what we do, I also understand in my heart. If the attack can be successful this time, it will be very important to the emperor.

It is a very good thing, which can show the majesty of the emperor. But I am also worried that if something goes wrong during this expedition, the losses will be great. Since the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming Dynasty has become an elite

I lost everything, and now I have just recovered a little bit of my strength. If I really lose my life in one battle, I don’t know how many years it will take to recover. I really don’t want to take the risk."

Qi Jin nodded slowly. He naturally understood what Sun Chengzong meant. Now the strength of the Ming Dynasty was not enough to go on an expedition. Without cavalry, he rashly went deep into the grassland and desert. Without food and grass supplies, the probability of failure was high.

It's really too big.

"General Qi, what do you think about this matter? You can tell me now!" Sun Chengzong said with a smile while looking at Qi Jin.

"Sir, I agree with your opinion. Your idea is right. I have been in the border town for many years and I still know the situation of the Mongolian Tatars. Although they have been going downhill for so many years, they are still far stronger than me in the grassland and desert.

As for the army of the Ming Dynasty, after all, we don’t have cavalry! If we have an elite cavalry, that’s another matter, otherwise once our retreat is cut off, we may never be able to come back.” Qi Jin knew that he could do it at this time.

After speaking, he expressed his thoughts. Obviously he did not agree with sending troops.

Nodding slowly, Sun Chengzong smiled calmly and said in a brisk tone: "In that case, let's do this! I will write a memorial to the emperor later, and now we will wait quietly to catch Jiannu Nurhachi.

Four Baylor!"

"Yes, sir!" Qi Jin said respectfully after giving a salute to Sun Chengzong.

The conversation between Sun Chengzong and Qi Jin was unknown to the outside world. At this time, countless people from the entire military camp flew out and left in all directions.

As Da Ma was walking on the road, He Shixian glanced at Man Gui beside him and said with a smile: "You have to come with us, because except for us, no one in the entire military camp can catch Huang Taiji."

Man Gui likes He Shixian very much. He is generous and has good martial arts skills. In just a few days, the two have established a good friendship. After hearing He Shixian's words, Man Gui glanced at him in surprise.

He Shixian and Mangui still have some understanding. Although his behavior is quite rough and informal, he is not a talkative person. Since he said so, there must be some basis for it.

Looking at He Shixian with a smile, Man Gui asked curiously: "General He, no one knows where Huang Taiji went. Everyone is just looking for it based on luck. Does General He have any secrets?"

Smiling mysteriously, He Shixian curled his lips and said with an arrogant look: "Other people rely on luck to find nature, but I, He Shixian, am different. I can't do such mindless things. But I have

The secret is yours, I won’t tell most people!”

Seeing He Shixian's appearance, Man Gui laughed loudly, hugged He Shixian's fist, and said playfully: "In this case, I would like to ask the general to give you some advice, and let me gain exposure and learn from my humble position."

Pointing to Zhao Shujiao beside him, He Shixian laughed and said, "Because I have him. If he says he can find it in this direction, he will definitely be able to find it."

Seeing He Shixian pointing at Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui was stunned, and he was also quite curious about Zhao Shujiao. However, Zhao Shujiao was different from He Shixian. Although he usually had a light smile on his face, he always showed a smile to everyone.

There is a slight sense of alienation.

Holding a fist towards Zhao Shujiao, Mangui said in a sincere tone: "General Zhao, I hope you will give me some advice!"

Gently waving his hand, Zhao Shujiao said with a smile: "It's not even a matter of teaching, it's just some humble practice. Since General Mangui wants to know, then Zhao will tell you." He glared at He Shixian fiercely, Zhao

Led Jiaocai said slowly: "Actually, it's nothing to talk about. Now the issue of slave creation is making a fuss and the entire frontier is under martial law. After all, catching Huang Taiji is a great achievement. No one wants this credit. After all, it is really important."

It’s too big. The Ming Dynasty’s troops are stationed at the three customs in the east and west and at Jiayuguan in the west. As long as all the passes and passes along the way are blocked, Huang Taiji will not even think about leaving.”

After listening to Zhao Shujiao's words, Man Gui and He Shixian looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Regarding Zhao Shujiao's words, both of them believed that if he had soldiers and generals, Huang Taiji might be able to find a place where the Ming army was weakly garrisoned.

The place protrudes. But nowadays, even if Huang Taiji is not alone, there are almost few people. It is impossible to get out through this road.

After looking at the two people, Zhao Shujiao smiled meaningfully and said in a calm tone: "The current Huang Taiji definitely wants to go back. There is no doubt about this, so we can only catch him by figuring out how he wants to go back.

.”

The two people nodded slowly again. He Shixian didn't feel anything, but when Man Gui looked at Zhao Shujiao, there was admiration in his eyes. Man Gui was different from He Shixian. He Shixian was rough on the outside and rough on the inside.

, rarely thinks too much about things. But Mangui is different. Growing up in a difficult environment, Mangui has a stronger heart than ordinary people, and he also deeply understands the importance of the mind.

Over the years, Mangui continued to study the culture of the Ming Dynasty, most of which were of course the art of war. Zhao Shujiao had already thought of things that he had not thought of. Obviously, this Zhao Shujiao was very extraordinary.

Nodding to Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui said in a deep voice: "General Zhao is right. It is very dangerous to stay here in the Ming Dynasty for one more day. Huang Taiji naturally wants to go back. But I really can't think of anything.

Wherever he will go, once the court orders it, I don't know if he can leave the prison."

Nodding slowly, Zhao Shujiao smiled kindly at Man Gui. He always thought that Man Gui and He Shixian were the same kind of people. Now it seems that they are obviously not, and he can't help but be a lot kinder to Man Gui. Although now and

He Shixian had a good relationship, but Zhao Shujiao still instinctively wanted to avoid this type of person.

"Huang Taiji wants to go back, but the road here is dead. To the west is Datong. Huang Taiji will not go there, and it is not easy to get out there. Moreover, there is a war outside the Great Wall, and there are no soldiers.

It will be very dangerous for Huang Taiji after he goes out. If all these are eliminated, the only place Huang Taiji can go is to the east. It happens that I know a place where he can escape, so I conclude that Huang Taiji went east."
