"Go back and tell your lord that the regent of the Qing Dynasty is very pleased with his abandonment of darkness and surrender to light. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he is still the post of the general army of Henan. All the soldiers, horses, money, food, family wealth, fields, and houses are all business as usual. For the envoy sent by Xu Dingguo to ask for surrender and the son who served as a hostage, Hong Chengchou and Hong Jingluo were all gentle and comforting, and said a lot of good things.

However, the grace of the Qing court did not come by casual wind. It is also to be reciprocated with peach and plum and Qiong Yao. For Xu Dingguo, Hong Jingluo put forward such a request.

"Kill the mountain harrier Gao Jie, the leader of the thieves. Attack in the direction of Xuzhou. The chief soldier of your family is a meritorious minister of my Qing Dynasty, and it is unknown whether he will reward the marquis and uncle for his meritorious deeds in the future. ”

Hearing Hong Jingluo say this, Xu Dingguo's son was quite happy at first, thinking that he had found a big tree that could enjoy the shade and hugged him to a thick thigh. If you can protect the official position, family property, soldiers, horses, money and food, what more favorable conditions can there be? But after listening to Hong Jingluo's later conditions, Xu Gongzi knew that there were no benefits in this world?

However, since we have come this far, we can only go forward with a hard head.

"Lord Qiqi Jingluo, that Gao Jie was born as a thief for many years, and he has a lot of soldiers and horses. My father's soldiers and horses were far inferior to him. If you confront it, I'm afraid that not only will you not be able to complete the things assigned by the master, but it will be bad. However, Xu Gongzi looked at Hong Jingluo's face, and the appearance was as usual, so he had the courage to continue. "If you find a way to kill Gao Jie, your bandits will be leaderless. I think my father can do this. ”

Hong Jingluo, who was originally asking for a sky-high price, heard that Xu Dingguo could find a way to kill Gao Jie, which made Gao Jie's department chaotic, and his heart suddenly burst into joy, but he was still unwilling on the surface.

"Alas! In that case, you can write to your father and ask him to deal with the matter quickly. Otherwise, when the GIs arrive, they are afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish. At that time, the matter of the burning of jade and stone happened, and the official couldn't help it. ”

Xu Gongzi's face was colorless, and he immediately ordered someone to rush back to Suizhou and explain everything here to his father in detail.

After Xu Dingguo learned of the progress of the matter of returning to the Qing Dynasty, he immediately arranged for people to plan how to kill Gao Jie.

Duoduo got Yue Le and Hong Chengchou, two military and political right-hand men, and he was in a good mood, and naturally his body recovered much faster. On this day, when he was in the hall with Yue Le and Hong Chengchou to gather a few civil and military officers to discuss how to defeat Liu Zongmin, who was in front of him, suddenly a Jia Lazhangjing ran in a little angry.

"Report!"

This Jiala's subordinates were deployed on the left flank, and they were responsible for communicating with the Ministry of Manchuria, the Red Banner Manchurian Shuotuo, in the direction of the Daimyo's Mansion. In the past, every three or five days, there would be sentinels and messengers on both sides to communicate and communicate with each other, and deliver news and war reports. However, in the last few days, there have been three consecutive whistles riding in the direction of the Daimyo, but there has been no news. In the direction of the Daimyo, no one or one rider arrived.

There was no official contact, but rumors were rife in the camp. An atmosphere of panic spread in the camp. A shocking news has spread throughout the battalions, stationed in the Daimyo Mansion and Li Huayu's 25 Niulu of the Red Banner Manchuria, tens of thousands of people in the Han Army and the Mongolian Eight Banners were annihilated, and the banner owner Shuotuo was beheaded.

Zhenghong Banner Manchuria, it's over!

Shandong's Li Dagongzi has made a move!

Such a terrible news spread in the corner of the camp, so that all those who heard the news felt like a blow to the head, and a basin of cold water fell from the head in the wax moon, and the cold feeling penetrated the whole body.

Duoduo, Hong Chengchou and others also heard such news, but they didn't dare to believe it. According to their understanding of Li Huayu, he only needs to be satisfied that the Qing troops do not enter Shandong and keep his rights and interests in Shandong. How can you be willing to send troops to the southern region and defeat Manchuria so badly?

Moreover, Shuotuo had twenty-five Manchurian soldiers and horses under Niu Lu, counting at least 20,000 usable soldiers from Qiding to Yuding and those accompanying domestic slaves. There are tens of thousands of people in the Mongolian and Han armies of the Eight Banners, that is, tens of thousands of pigs, and it is impossible for them to complete such a process from being surrounded to being wiped out in less than ten days!

However, Duoduo forgot that it was true that Li Huayu wanted to protect Shandong's rights and interests, but if he could push his rights and interests in Shandong one step further, he would also be helpful. From Shuotuo's analysis, although it is more time-consuming to catch tens of thousands of pigs, Shuotuo's subordinates are not tens of thousands of pigs, but tens of thousands of Han Army Eight Banners attached to the former Ming army. When these people saw the Nanyue army of the eldest prince of Li, they were scared in their hearts. "These are teams that can kill thousands of real thieves, and we are afraid that we will not be able to walk down even if we see it!" My own heart is in chaos first. Then, the combat effectiveness of these tens of thousands of Han troops was not comparable to tens of thousands of pigs.

We might as well set our sights in the direction of the daimyo and let Li Huayu, the eldest son of Li on the Eastern Front, play and perform!

In the early morning in Jinan, the spring city, there are generally people talking and laughing, and then, after eating and drinking, start the day's work. But today, the streets are full of busy soldiers, they don't say a word, nervous and orderly shuttle, making Jinan look more like a busy machine, rather than the general impression of a leisure city. In the center of the machine, the core CPU, Li Huayu was under the service of Lu Ma Hong, tidying up his outfits, he was silent, his face was serious, but he always stared at Lu Ma Hong inadvertently, with a little reluctance and nostalgia in his eyes.

Lu Mahong was naturally in the same mood, and after enduring it for a long time, Lu Mahong finally couldn't help but say: "Husband, I shouldn't have intervened in major national affairs, but since ancient times, marching and fighting has been a general's business. Liao Dongzhi has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has been under your account for many years, so they are familiar with each other. It is better to let the father send someone to replace Liao Dongzhi, and it is best to let Liao Dongzhi lead a few garrison brigades to the north as a vanguard. The soldiers and horses of the second town under the command of the husband are sitting in Jinan, which can not only command the front line, but also pacify the rear, why not? ”

Li Huayu smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, when can you change your naïve problem?" Liao Dongzhi is in Yangzhou, responsible for the safety of my back road, how can he be replaced at will? Once something happens in Jiangbei and there is a loss in Shandong, isn't it the way to die? And the most important thing is that Liao Dongzhi has always opposed Xiang Dashun as a vassal and let him be a pioneer, isn't it a fate to ask for fish? Besides, among the army, there are not only the Dongfan soldiers who have followed me for many years, but also the newly recruited Liaodong hussars, as well as the local soldiers and horses in Shandong, and there are many battalions, and they do not belong to each other. If I am not there, who will serve the people? ”

Lu Mahong saw that she couldn't persuade Li Huayu, so she had to say no more, she silently sorted out her outfit for Li Huayu, and then, staring at Li Huayu for a while, she held Li Huayu's hand hard and said: "Okay, I wish my husband a victorious victory and a triumphant return." Li Huayu smiled and replied: "That's certain, when I come back again, we will go to Daming Lake together and watch the wheat harvest together." It's just that neither of them thought that their short words and simple actions would become a shocking event in the future, which made many people talk about it. Those who have good deeds counted the people who have shaken hands and blessed Lu Ma Hong in his life, and came to the conclusion of "Death Grip".

(The reason is that this woman who was born on Treasure Island, most of the people who were blessed by her, especially those who shook hands, did not end well.) The eldest prince didn't mention it first, but then she shook Wu Xing's hand, Wu Xing died, and Liao Dongzhi once shook hands with her with gloves, but was seriously injured. It is said that even Li Shouhan knew about this rumor, so Li Shouhan shook hands with Lu Ma Hong for the only time in his life and wore deerskin gloves. ）

Zhang Linghu, the commander of the garrison brigade stationed in Jinan, and Wu Fengxian, the brigade commander stationed in Changqing, stood on the side of the road with loyal faces, and their armor neatly saluted Li Huayu with their fists: "My subordinates wish your lord a victory!" ”

"The two of you are taking care of your home in Shandong, which is also a great achievement." Of these two representatives of the local armed forces in Shandong, Li Huayu naturally wanted to say good words to soothe them. Turning his head, he glanced at Lu Ma Hong again: "I'll leave three thousand Eastern soldiers for you." In addition, the military talismans, arrows and arrows commanded and mobilized by the Nanyue Army near Jinan, and the seal letter for the allocation of money and food expenses are also handed over to you. ”

After bidding farewell to their lovers, relatives and comrades-in-arms, the Shandong troops of the Nanyue Army officially set off. The marching procession, like a long dragon, meandered from Jinan on the edge of the Yellow River to Dezhou.

Tuja and the Hussars of Ecuador rightfully acted as the leader.

Therefore, they were also the first to have intimate contact with the Liaodong anti-thieves. However, what they encountered in Tuha was not an old Liao thief, but a group of Han cavalry, who had not been attached to the Liao thieves for a long time, and were not very familiar with the situation in Shandong, but they had heard that the southern barbarians had always relied on the cavalry wall to win. Therefore, after discovering that Tuha and them were only sporadic cavalry reconnaissance and harassment, they were confident that they could capture a few southern barbarians with their riding skills and come back to receive merit. So, they shouted to kill Nikan, and pounced on Tuha and them in a standard blade formation.

It's just that what they don't know is that watching them rush to kill, the former senior Liao thief Tuha sneered in his heart.

Tu Ha Xin said that these dogs are slightly stronger than the Nanzhong cavalry who just know how to ride horses, so they will not fall off their horses halfway, but the gap between them is too big, and with grandpa's skills, they can easily stir up your horses and people. Thinking of this, Tuha waved the steel knife in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, the time has come to serve the Lord, follow me and kill the Tartars." ”

"Kill the Tartars!" With the roar of the stormy waves, hundreds of hussars from the two yellow banners rushed towards the cavalry formation of the Han army without hesitation. The two armies quickly collided violently, and then splattered with blood. Tuhabe, who usually smells of alcohol all day long, seems to have nothing else to do but drink. But as soon as he got on horseback, it was like a different person, and the pair of eyes that he usually couldn't open suddenly widened, his eyes were bright and agile, and the knives and arrows that were shot seemed to him to be sent in slow motion, and he dodged them one by one.

He didn't entangle with others, but just interspersed all the way to the rear of the Han cavalry, interspersed until he completely broke through. He rushed over, the Han cavalry was completely chaotic, they were like headless flies, one look at the enemy around them, one look at Tuha behind them, the battle is not the opponent, run, hehe, can you run past Tuha? Of course, in the end, they decided to run and see first, but unfortunately, Tuha had chased and killed the Ming army for three consecutive days, where could they run away, and in the end, they all became heads and were brought back by Tuha.

When the last Han cavalry was cut down by Tuha, Tuha was satisfied and ordered his hussars to collect the ownerless horses and check the booty and heads. At this moment, dust flew up in the distance, and without asking, I knew that it was the enemy's reinforcements arriving. Tuha looked at the cavalry coming with great momentum, he was not afraid, nor nervous, but suddenly remembered what the eldest prince once said, that is, when our Nanyue army fights, often when the enemy's reinforcements arrive, it is also when the last soldiers of the defenders fall.

In fact, Tuha could have ended the battle before the arrival of enemy reinforcements, but he thought that eating half full was just as uncomfortable as drinking and being half drunk. Seeing the cavalry approaching in the distance, Tuha raised the steel knife in his hand high and shouted: "Brothers, have you eaten enough?" The crowd immediately understood what Tuha meant, and they raised their arms and shouted, "I haven't eaten enough, I'm still hungry!" Tuha nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered: Cavalry wall, prepare to charge!

If you want to say that the quality of the hussars, it is really not covered, although the main task of the hussars is to detect and harass, but after strict training, coupled with excellent riding skills, the cavalry wall is not a matter at all. Following Tuha's order, hundreds of hussars quickly changed horses into three columns. Of course, due to the problem of the task, the cavalry in the front row was not equipped with pikes, so they picked up their horses, prepared to replace the spear head with a projectile with a longer killing range, and dealt a hot first blow to the opposite side in the process of running quickly. Then, like the cavalrymen in the back row, they would crash through with steel swords. If the other side can still withstand it.

Tuha, on the other hand, rode alone and led three horizontal columns under his own flag until the two sides could see each other's appearances clearly. Just as Tuha was about to give the order to attack, suddenly, he noticed that the team on the opposite side seemed to be somewhat familiar. Well, I should say it's too familiar. The goods in shabby armor on the other side are not the Ozanikan under the master of Hauge? I've also drunk with myself a few times. But it's not right, in the past, this goods were brightly dressed and sky-high, that is, he showed a little respect in front of himself, an officer with two yellow flags, and among the other five banners, his popularity was extremely poor. How do you become so virtuous now? Armor and robes that have always been brand new?

Although he had long decided to be loyal to his new master, Li Huayu, Tuha also secretly asked someone to change his name to a Chinese name on the roster and the food book, and the land and house deeds assigned to the family were also written in Han names.

However, in the face of past friends, it is not good to say hello and fight without fighting. Tuha then sheathed his steel knife and raised his hand to signal the cavalry to halt its advance, while he rode alone to the enemy and shouted: "The opposite is the brother of the blue banner?" Call someone who can breathe and come out and talk to me, uncle, I am Tuha who was originally in Manchuria with the Yellow Flag. ”

The enemy troops on the opposite side couldn't help but stir slightly, and after a while, I saw that the shabby armor Ozanikan sorted out the armor and battle robes, and then rode alone to the front of Tuha and shouted: "Brother Tuha, do you still know brothers?" Tuha grinned and said, "Ozanikan, you little rabbit cub, I know you even if you peel your skin." Why, you have to fight your eldest brother?! ”

Ozanikan on the other side smiled awkwardly and said, "How dare you! What am I in front of my big brother with that little material? Even if you are not your opponent in the next life, you will still be a fart! The minions, listen to my orders, throw their weapons and armor behind, find the dry food in their hands, dismount to eat and drink, and I want to have a good drink with my eldest brother. ”

Tuha also smiled and said: "Brother, that's right, we are all a family, what else to fight!" Brothers, also obey my orders, put your armor and weapons behind, and then take out all the meat, porcelain urns, cooked chicken, sauce, meat, shochu, and so on that you bring in your rucksack and mattress. ”

Although it was still tense on the battlefield just now, the style of painting changed suddenly in the blink of an eye. After all, the two sides are old acquaintances, and the relationship between the two yellow flags and the positive blue flag was very close back then. Now that the generals on both sides have jumped off their horses and sat down to drink together, the soldiers naturally have no desire to fight.

So, just like when they fought the Ming army together, they each found acquaintances to sit together, and they were diligent, and even found firewood to build a bonfire, completely forgetting that they were still preparing for a life-and-death fight not long ago.

However, after the two sides sat down, whether it was Tuha's subordinates or the people of the Blue Flag, they all had mixed feelings in their hearts. I saw Tuha's subordinates, those original soldiers with two yellow flags, all of them were red and brightly dressed, and the armor on their bodies was all good Nanzhong plate armor, shining in the sunlight.

Open the bag, people took out the whole roast chicken, thick meat sausages, large pieces of sauce meat, good meat porcelain urns and large bottles of soju, the most unbearable thing for Zhenglanqi is that people have no excited expressions in the face of such food, and even said with a little apology, brother, I'm really sorry, these roast chicken porcelain urn shochu are not too good goods, the most famous grilled chicken shops in Texas have been set, and it is not our turn. There is no way on the battlefield, fresh meat cannot be eaten, and can only be dealt with casually with canned and cured meat. If you want to eat some fresh meat, you can only bring horse meat.

Hearing these words, the killing intent that had just disappeared from the blue flag couldn't help but rise into the air, and they were still picky, are you looking for a beating? Look at yourself again, the armor is eliminated by the two white flags, not that there was no new armor before, the problem is that the blue flag is now a phoenix that is not as good as a chicken, people adjust the distribution, what do you dare to say? Not only the armor, but also the horses and men. If you don't listen to the greeting, do you want to go to the western sky with the master of Haoge? As for the smoked chicken sauce meat, you think about it a lot, and the sorghum dumplings can be full, which can only show that Dolgon was the Fujin Day of the master of Rihaoge yesterday.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that although the blue flag and the yellow flag are not publicly stated, the other five flags are all looking at themselves with the eyes of rebels, openly and secretly squeezing themselves. If it weren't for Shuotuo, a bastard, to squeeze himself, how could the dignified elite cavalry of Zhenglan Banner Manchuria be reduced to the point of cooperating with the Han army to carry out peripheral reconnaissance and harassment. Ozanikan has something in his heart, so he can only use wine to drown his sorrows, but the wine and meat are all rewarded by the Nanyue army, and he really borrows wine to kill his sorrows.

"Tuha, when you were assigned, you were changed like pigs and sheep. Our brothers have been feeling sorry for you for a while. When I chatted in private, I said that you are pitiful, but now you are a blessing in disguise, and it is our group of people who remain under the hands of the badgers! A few sips of soju accompanied by fat meat went down to the stomach, and Ozanikan's mouth began to run out of doors.

"I knew that when we arrived in Shandong, the master of the Li family would use us as his intimate slaves, brother, I would definitely take you with me at the beginning!" Tuha snorted with wine in his mouth and patted Ozanikan's shoulder with a flushed face. (To be continued.) )
