Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "It is absolutely necessary to let him fight the bandits. I am afraid that he will occupy a place after he captures the next place, but instead help him strengthen his power. Could it be the Tartars?"

Zhou Yanru said: "Your Majesty is extremely worried! So the old minister is preparing to order Liu Pei to send some of his troops to Liaodong. Hong Chengchou was about to start a war, so he would send him there!"

Just this year, after only a little over a year when Hong Chengchou was transferred to Liaodong, Huang Taiji sent troops to siege Ming Jinzhou and ordered Prince Heshuo Zheng Jiergalang to lead a large army to build a long siege to serve as a lasting siege. Then the Battle of Song (Shan) and Jin (Sao) began.

Zu Dashou sent people to break through and ask for help from the Ming court. Emperor Chongzhen received the report and ordered the Governor of Ji Liao, Wang Pu, General of Datong, Yang Guozhu, General of Xuanfu, Tang Tong, General of Miyun, Bai Guangen, General of Ji Town, General of Anhui Association, Cao Bianjiao, General of Shanhaiguan, General of Qiantun Guard, Wang Tingchen, General of Qiantun Guard, General of Ningyuan, Wu Sangui, General of Eighth General and Deputy General, more than 200 officials, 130,000 infantry and cavalry, and 40,000 horses. Ke Qi came out of the pass and rushed to rescue, repel the enemy, and rescued Jinzhou. At this time, Hong Chengchou's army was just about to set off!

Emperor Chongzhen thought this was a good idea when he heard this. He also knew that the Liaodong generals were already in a big way at this time. However, because they were close to the Tartars and had strong enemies on their side, he was not worried about their rebellion.

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen knew that the Liaodong generals were jealous and xenophobic. Anyone who was transferred there from other places would have no good results! In addition, Liu Pei's army and horses were also a guest army, so when he arrived in Liaodong, he would still let the Liaodong generals go to trouble! He would probably put Liu Pei's army on the front line. At that time, it would be a good thing whether he wins or loses.

Emperor Chongzhen said hesitantly: "But can he obey orders?"

Zhou Yanru said: "It is best for him to obey orders! If he does not obey orders, we will send people to Shandong for a walk. Liu Pei will not obey the orders and hold his own troops. He may rebel! I think those soldiers of the people will be panicked. When the hearts of others are dispersed, it will be easier for us to deal with him! And the most important point is that if he really obeys the orders, the court will still have room to conquer him. So this is a crucial temptation."

Although Zhou Yanru said it well, he was just talking about it.

There is no way. In other words, he is just fooling Emperor Chongzhen. But Emperor Chongzhen doesn't think so. He immediately slapped the table and said, "Okay! I'll follow Zhou Aiqing's method."

The two of them immediately recruited several ministers to discuss and improve this method. Then the imperial edict from the court was passed to Shandong. Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen was afraid that Liu Pei would be disobedient, and even hinted at the intention of being granted titles in doubt.

It should be noted that the Ming Dynasty was extremely stingy with titles. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di enfeoffed many titles. However, they later reduced a large number of titles. After that, fewer people were awarded titles due to their merits.

Emperor Chongzhen made such a great determination with a glimmer of hope, hoping that Liu Pei could use it for him. But he didn't know that the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil and only a few years left. Liu Pei was willing to let this opportunity go easily. Even if he was willing to let this opportunity go, how could his subordinates agree? Those people pointed at Liu Pei to go further so that their family could get a Duke of the past generations!

Soon, Emperor Chongzhen's decree was passed to Shandong. Moreover, the person who sent the decree was Liu Pei's old friend Cao Huachun.

At this time, Cao Huachun didn't dare to present any of the imperial envoys in front of Liu Pei. Cao Huachun was in the palace and had a very good news. Moreover, Liu Pei was also his quasi-ally. Of course, he had to pay more attention to his news.

He knew that Liu Pei was already a powerful and wealthy person at this time and could not be curbed. He could not say that he would have to live a life based on Liu Pei's expression in the future. So he naturally was careful.

After reading the decree, Cao Huachun smiled and said, "Get up quickly, Lord Liu, the decree has been read!"

Liu Pei stood up and said, "It's a blessing for Eunuch Cao! I have already set up a banquet, so please let my father-in-law move."

Cao Huachun naturally nodded and agreed. After everyone came to the restaurant, Liu Pei and Cao Huachun opened a separate room. The other people in the order team had their own subordinates to settle.

After the two sat down, the food and drinks were served, and they slowly started drinking together. The two of them had a good relationship before, and they had had many letters, so the atmosphere between the meal was quite harmonious.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, both of them were thinking about it

It was no longer on the food and drinks. At this time, Cao Huachun whispered: "Brother Liu, please tell our family a brief explanation. Is this order or not to be ordered?"

Liu Pei knew that Cao Huachun would raise this question sooner or later. He thought he would ask indirectly, but without Xianfeng Dao, he actually went straight to the point. However, Liu Pei was prepared for this question, so he looked at Cao Huachun with a teasing look and said, "Old brother, guess if I am obeying the order or not this time?"

Cao Huachun smiled wryly and drank the wine in the glass, saying, "We can't guess this! But we won't guess it. Today is different from the past! I never thought that a small ginseng general from a few years ago has reached the point today!"

Liu Bei also said with emotion: "Yes, time is like flowing water!"

Cao Huachun said, "Okay, don't be careless here! With your friendship, you should be able to exchange for the truth, right?"

Liu Pei smiled and said, "That's natural! After all, you and I are friends in distress!"

Cao Huachun was excited and said, "Okay, let's say we can see what your rules of association?"

Liu Pei said with a smile: "I will tell you the truth, I will not obey the order!"

Cao Huachun knew that his wife was keeping her insults, but when he heard this, he felt relieved. Because just by judging by Liu Pei, things would have room for ease, and his job would not be in vain!

So he immediately asked, "What do you mean by this? Tell us quickly!"

Liu Pei said: "It is unshirkable to say that the fight against the Tartars is a must! But when Liaodong was preparing to start a war, I was also preparing to fight against the Tartars! But the purpose was not Songjin, but Lushun! If it went well, I would also take Fuzhou and Yongning. The farthest plan was to Gaizhou!"

Cao Huachun was shocked when he heard this! He said, "Wouldn't he fight across the sea?"

Liu Pei said: "That's true! I will tell you clearly that I have been preparing for this cross-sea battle. But I didn't expect that I would encounter the rescue of Jinzhou!"
Chapter completed!
