After a while, a group of people on the opposite side were getting closer and closer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Xiao clearly saw that all the people who came were cavalrymen, about 80 horsemen, holding a flag with the word "ancestor" in black letters on a red background, all of them were helmets and armor, the cloak was red and bright, and they looked extremely strong, and the one in the middle was wearing a luxurious mountain armor. The figure was extremely majestic, straddled a tall horse, and led the cavalry to run in the direction of Li Xiao.

"Li Baihu, the person who came is the governor of the capital, General Zu Kuan, and next to him is Hou Shangde, the captain of his family." Mo Changrong saw it really and whispered to Li Xiao.

Now that Gao Pu, the captain of the sentry cavalry, has died in battle, Li Xiao has become the master of everyone, and it is not good for his subordinates to call him the deputy team, but now that the sentry cavalry team has died in name, it feels awkward to call himself the captain. So, as if an appointment had been made, his subordinates began to directly call Li Xiao Li Baihu, which was the most natural thing.

Listening to Mo Changrong's words, Li Xiao sighed.

This Zu Kuan, Fang Cai Mo Changrong was so desperate to ask for help and refused to send troops, now that this battle is over, what is he doing with his own family team?

Li Xiao immediately ordered the whole army to suspend its advance and wait for Zu Kuan and them to come.

Zu Kuan and the others got closer, and Li Xiao saw that this person had a heavy mouth and a wide chin, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, a wide back and a bear's waist, and looked like a standard military general.

More than 20 steps away from Li Xiao's entire army, Zu Kuan and others reined in the reins of their horses. The family members immediately saw the heads of the Tartars stacked like small knolls on top of an empty grain cart.

Hou Shangde's eyes were hot, his face was scathing and cruel, he looked at Li Xiao and the others opposite with cold eyes, and then lowered his voice and said to Zu Kuan: "My lord, I didn't expect these guys to return with many tartar heads, it's better to 。。。。。 ”

Hou Shangde made a right hand slash and looked at Zu Kuan with burning eyes.

Zu Kuan glanced at him, then shook his head gently, and said lightly: "I am ashamed that I am afraid of the enemy and do not save me, and now I want to win his military exploits. ”

Hou Shangde's face darkened, and he didn't dare to say more. At this time, Zu Kuan lightly swept the reins of his horse, took a few steps forward, and shouted to Li Xiao and the others: "A certain ancestor Kuan, which part of the group are you?" ”

When Li Xiao heard the sound, he turned over and dismounted, and bowed to Zu Kuan: "In Xia Guangning, Zhongtun will not return to the pier to guard the hundred households Li Xiao, see Lord Shishi." ”

"Oh, it turns out that you are Li Xiao. Last time, Zu Dashuai held a promotion banquet for you, a certain family went to Ningyuan, but he never came, and now when he sees you, he looks heroic. ”

After Zu Kuan finished speaking, he also got off the horse, he stretched out his hand to help Li Xiao and let him get up. Then he looked at everyone again, and said loudly: "Li Xiao, are you going to pursue the Tartar who attacked our army's sentry horse?" ”

Zu Kuan spoke, the momentum was majestic, and there was a sense of oppression. When Tian Wei, Wang Yishou and others heard this, they all felt a pang in their hearts. It's just that Li Xiao's face didn't change, and there was nothing abnormal. Seeing Zu Kuan's question, he calmly explained to Zu Kuan how he came to help, and how the battle process just now was carried out.

After listening to Li Xiao's story, Zukuanhou Shangde and all the family members under his command all showed incredible expressions.

This Li Xiao actually killed all 43 Tartars with only this small cavalry team of more than 30 people, and this combat power is inevitably too strong.

In fact, Li Xiao's whole army only killed more than 30 horsemen, but Li Xiao deliberately attributed the little combat exploits of Gao Pu's sentinel cavalry to himself, so as to make his own combat exploits more oppressive to Zu Kuan.

In Liaodong, a place where wolves are fed, Li Xiao's bluffing can sometimes make him feel more secure.

Just like now, if you are a little soft, it will be difficult to protect Zu Kuan and others, and they will not rely on the strength of the crowd to snatch their own military achievements.

Don't be afraid of anyone and don't offend me, but don't sin me.

Zu Kuan and Hou Shangde groaned for a while, and then immediately went over to inspect the head together. The two of them lifted the snow on the skull, carefully examined the scalp, braids, and teeth, and the expression on their faces was even more shocked.

These heads turned out to be all real Tartar heads! This Li Xiao didn't do anything to kill the good and take the plunge.

Zu Kuan suddenly felt a fever on his face.

Especially when he saw that Mo Changrong, who had reported to him, was throwing that indifferent look at him, he felt even more inexplicably empty.

Compared with the so-called generals in Liaodong, who are as greedy and ruthless as cow hair, Zu Kuan is a rare person with a little conscience.

At that time, after Mo Changrong left, Zu Kuan originally wanted to leave the matter alone, but he never got over the conscience in his heart, so he took advantage of the wind and snow to take his family to the place of battle in the north of Daliubao that Mo Changrong said.

In fact, Zu Kuan also knew in his heart that doing this was just to give his conscience a little comfort. When he went, the Tartars must have already killed the sentinels, and then returned north with the grain team. Zu Kuan didn't dare to lead his troops to pursue, and this time he went to collect the corpses of those sentinels who died in battle.

It's just that they didn't expect that due to the heavy snow, Zu Kuan and others had no one to lead the way, and they went astray, and they actually met Li Xiao's whole army here who came back from the battle with the Tartars.

Zu Kuan sighed in his heart, then patted Li Xiao's shoulder heavily and said loudly: "What a hero out of a young man!" It's Zu, I'm really ashamed。。。。。。 Li Xiao, you have worked hard in battle, and the credit for this bloody battle, my ancestor Kuan will definitely not compete with you. Zu Dashuai will return to Jinzhou the day after tomorrow, and then you can go and report your merits. ”

"The general is noble, and he is admired to the fullest." Li Xiao returned to worship.

Zu Kuan helped him up, and said to him with a smile: "You must be tired now, so let's do it, this grain team will be escorted to Damao Fort by us." Go back and recuperate early. ”

"Thank you, General!"

Li Xiao said goodbye to Zu Kuan, looking at Zu Kuan's smiling face, Li Xiao's heart felt inexplicably warm, and he had a lot of good feelings for this Zu Kuan. It's just that in his heart, he feels weird.

Li Xiao read the history of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life and knew the fate of this ancestor Kuan.

In the following years, Zu Kuan will be sent into the pass, in the battle of encircling and suppressing the peasant army, and was finally promoted to the deputy chief soldier and the chief officer of the reinforcement army, but at the beginning of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, when the Tatars invaded the customs in a big way, because of the fear of the Tartars did not dare to fight, they did not send aid to Zhen, resulting in the fall of Jinan, and was finally beheaded by the imperial court.

This Zu Kuan, brave in battle, has made many achievements, and can be called a fierce general. It's just that he seems to be strong and fearless, but he often has a hesitant and contradictory side, which is a very strange thing.

It's a pity that this weakness of human nature eventually led to Zu Kuan's tragic end six years later.

Li Xiao sighed secretly in his heart, today's events are equivalent to a rehearsal of events six years later. This Zu Kuan, in a sense, is still problematic to stand alone, but if he is just dominated by others, the effect may be much better.

I don't know if I can change the sad fate of this outstanding general Zu Kuan, who was born as a servant of Zu Dashou's family and struggled all the way in the future.

Li Xiao, who was sitting on the horse, silently watched Zu Kuan and his party escorting the grain team forward, and disappeared in the northwest direction.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Mo Changrong, Li Xiao came to the place where the sentry cavalry was wiped out by the Tartar sentry cavalry, and stacked the more than 10 corpses of the sentry cavalry that had been frozen and stiffened with the original corpses on the grain cart, and then brought them back together.

When passing through Jinzhou City, Li Xiao asked Wang Yishou to lead the team and took several wounded members of the team to Chen Mazi Medical Center for treatment. And he himself personally led the cavalry team back to the pier of no return.
