However, when he heard Ma Fang, his heart couldn't help but feel nervous. Of course, he knew how powerful Ma Fang was. Compared with the Japanese pirates in the south, they were not at the same level as those in the north. If he rebelled and confronted Ma Fang, he might not be able to gain an advantage.

In fact, he may not be able to gain an advantage. He was the one who put a gold on his face. He knew very well that his war against Japanese pirates over the years was really not a big battle. And Ma Fang was a big battle. At one time, hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting against each other, that was the coach. Hu Zongxian had never commanded such a battle and had no experience in this area. And his subordinates did not have experience in this area, which was the weakness.

Moreover, he knew in his heart that Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang were definitely loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Once he rebelled, these two people would definitely not follow him. The only thing he could do was kill Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang. But if he killed these two people, the combat power of these two armies would be greatly reduced.

"Oh..." Hu Zongxian couldn't help but sighed, "No, you should know your current situation, right?"

"I know!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Xu Jie said from his private parts that he had a grudge with you. After all, you unilaterally tore up the agreement to cooperate with Xu Jie. On the public side, after destroying the Japanese pirates, your brother is indeed at a loss. Third, Xu Jie's current situation is not easy, and he also needs to establish his authority with you. Another cabinet Gao Gong has no grudges with you in private parts, but on the public side, he looks down on your various mistakes, and the evidence is conclusive. He hates warlords like you, so he must maintain a tacit understanding with Xu Jie and target you."

Hu Zongxian's face showed a resentful anger: "I, Hu Zongxian, worked hard to eliminate the Japanese pirates. Is all this the way to die?"

"In fact, things are not that complicated!" Luo Xin sighed lightly: "The Japanese pirates have been wiped out, and His Majesty has called you back to the court, but you refused. It was you who let yourself fall into this field."

"But when I went back at that time, I was just put on the shelves."

"But you have no chance to put it in the shelf now."

Luo Xin did not fool Hu Zongxian, and people like this could not fool him, so Luo Xin simply told the truth. If Hu Zongxian really rebelled, he would not be afraid. If Hu Zongxian was single against Hu Zongxian, Hu Zongxian was really not his opponent. If Hu Zongxian greeted his subordinates, he would not have no subordinates. Besides the loyalty he had cultivated with his heart, Hu Zongxian might not dare to attack Luo Xin suddenly without any ideological preparation.

Hu Zongxian was silent and said for a while: "Am I dead?"

"Any 80%!" Luo Xin sighed.

"No chance?" Hu Zongxian looked straight at Luo Xin.

"If I help you, I'll open it. However, the best result is your decent retirement."

After thinking for a while, Luo Xin simply let go and said, "You have two ways now, one is to rebel. The result is undoubtedly death. There are two factors. One is me. As long as I am here, you will never be able to rebel successfully. And even if you want to kill or detain me immediately, the success may be 550, because you are in a hurry and are not prepared enough, so you may not be able to kill me or detain me. And maybe I will call you up and arrest you. You also know my reputation in the southeast, especially in the army."

Hu Zongxian remained silent, Luo Xin continued: "Another factor is that even if you kill me and Ma Fang is there, your chances of success are only 30%. To be honest, you are not as good as Ma Fang in terms of the strength of the army or the command ability of the large army. Therefore, the result of your rebellion will definitely be failure. At that time, it is not you who die, but you will kill the nine clans."

Hu Zongxian's face showed pain. He could die, but Hu Zongxian could not accept it. Seeing Hu Zongxian's painful expression, Luo Xin also sighed and continued:

"The other way is that I will go back and operate for you and let you retire with a decent amount. Of course, I can't guarantee it, but I'm at least 50% sure."

Hu Zongxian pondered for a moment and said, "No, I don't hide it from you. We are a friendship that has survived the war. I really don't agree. I made such a contribution to the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect it to end up in this situation. So, I have to think about it."

Speaking of this, he looked at Luo Xin with a bright look and said, "To be honest, we two really have the same sympathy. With the contributions you made by Luo Xin, it is not an exaggeration to be named Duke. But now you are just a second-class marquis. And you have just been promoted to the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites. Now you are put on the fire and roasted, are you really willing? If we join forces..."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about this. You can consider it, and I won't reveal any words about what you and I say today. And after I go back, I will still run for you. If you can retire with a decent amount, it will not be useless for our friendship. Moreover, once King Yu ascends the throne, you may not have no chance to re-enter the officialdom.

As long as you have not rebelled, I will keep running for you. However, once you rebel, I will not show mercy. I will definitely defeat you in the shortest time and capture you back to the capital. This is all the words, and I will say goodbye."

"I send you!"

Hu Zongxian sent Luo Xin to the gate, clasped his fists at Luo Xin and said:

"No, no matter what, thank you, brother."

"Brother is out. I won't advise you to leave, you can decide for yourself."

Luo Xin turned over his horse and took the order given to him by Hu Zongxian to go to Qi Jiguang's camp. He did not stay in Qi Jiguang's camp, and immediately took Qi Jiguang's three thousand cavalry to leave Suzhou and galloped towards Guangzhou.

When I walked towards Guangdong, it was not snowing. The temperature was just right, it was neither cold nor hot. Everyone ran for 500 miles in one afternoon, and then camped at dusk.

Qi Jiguang and Luo Xin were sitting in the same tent. Qi Jiguang said in a tent: "Sir, we will be able to arrive in Huang County tomorrow dusk, but we are all cavalrymen, and siege is not our strong point."

"Don't worry!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "This time I specially made some explosive packs. Then we will explode the city gate and rush in directly."

"Sir!" Qi Jiguang asked strangely: "You said the north was hit by snow disaster, but the south was not. Even if the life in the garrison was harder, it could still be considered as a way to live. Why did you rebel?"

"It's because their life can still go on!" Luo Xin sighed and said, "In terms of abolishing the garrison, it is relatively easier for the north to be abolished than the south. Because in these four years, the north was beaten to the capital by Altan Khan and Huangtai Kyrgyzstan twice. In these two times, they slaughtered a large number of northerners, and the northerners can be said to be almost nine out of ten families..."
