Chapter 2: The Fall of the Star

In the year of the Ming Dynasty, at the beginning of the fifth year of Tianshun, if you look at the entire Western Regions, who has the most reputation, of course, it is not Zhen Lingdan, Zhen Lingdan can only rank second, only those who have been captured or are about to be captured or neighboring city-states know Zhen Lingdan's reputation,

If you want to talk about the most famous, it must be Boyan Bell, everyone knows that if you take in Boyan Bell, there will be a catastrophe, this saying has been passed on by word of mouth, and the speed is very fast from east to west from south to north, on the contrary, if you catch him, there will be a heavy reward, the most important city lords have issued a heavy reward, hoping to catch this person, for a time in the ordinary people also know about Boyan Bell, looking forward to the bounty that fell from the sky, so that often see strangers to ask if they are Boyan Bell,

The reason why these kings and city lords did this was to establish friendly relations with the Ming Iron Army, and secondly, Zhen Lingdan said that as long as they caught Boyan Bell, they would withdraw their troops, so the city lord was eager to see Boyan Bell arrested, so as to send away this group of Ming Dynasty masters, otherwise they could eat the wealth they had accumulated so hard to eat poor.

The countries of the Western Regions are discussing the question, which country is the best, not the Mongolian army of the year, nor the former Li Yuanhao of the Western Xia, not to mention the Timurid Empire or the Roman Empire that was strong for a while but crossed in an instant like a meteor, the most bullish should be the Ming Dynasty, for one person, chased from the northwest of the Ming Dynasty to the Western Regions, and did not hesitate to attack the city and pull out the village with casualties, so he found out Boyan Bell a little,

What kind of national strength and national prestige this is, and what kind of temper and courage this is, so all the kings and city lords have flattered Zhen Lingdan, and wrote a letter of state to dedicate gold and silver treasures, hoping to be good friends with the Ming Dynasty, and agreed to go to the Ming Dynasty to pay homage to the Ming Dynasty before next year, to see the holy light, and to see the strong national strength of the Ming Dynasty,

In February of the fifth year of Tianshun, the hard work paid off, Boyan Bell's head was placed in the big tent of the Ming army, Boyan Bell was killed by the king when he contacted a certain king, but Boyan Bell also had a team of loyal wolf riders, and the wolf cavalry saw that their leader was killed, so they swore never to let go of the king, so they began to siege the city for days, the king asked Zhen Lingdan for help, Zhen Lingdan only used a few hundred people to win a big victory,

The wolf knights must be called loyal, Boyan Bell is so down, but they still follow closely, never abandoned Boyan Bell, they saw Zhen Lingdan coming, they were also very scared, after all, they were chased all the way by Zhen Lingdan, and they had the impression that Zhen Lingdan was a person who fought face-to-face battles, but they didn't expect Zhen Lingdan to send hundreds of cavalry, ambushed on both sides and shot arrows on their backs, and immediately rushed to kill after the bow and arrows, and used the terrain with less to win more, and wiped out the most elite wolf cavalry troops in Yili,

This is exactly what Zhen Lingdan said to Chao Xing, only by letting the enemy misunderstand himself can he let the strategy play its different effects, and only when the strategy is taken by surprise can it be called a strategy.

Zhen Lingdan requisitioned horses from the Western Regions, and also hoarded grain and livestock, and after resting for about 30 days, he returned to the court as promised, and all the city lords and kings said goodbye, and one by one they deliberately touched a few tears that did not exist, in order to show their reluctance to withdraw the Ming army.

In April of the fifth year of Tianshun, when they arrived at the border of Timur, the people finally returned to the rebel army, and the people supported Zhen Lingdan and others very much, because they never burned, killed, humiliated and plundered, nor did they have a bureaucratic style, and some only helped the people rebuild their homes and be just and tolerant.

Looking at the people who extended more than ten miles to celebrate their triumphant return, Zhen Lingdan and Chao Xing showed a smile of relief, they not only defeated the strong enemy in the Western Regions, raised the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, but also conquered the hearts of these people, this is the conquest of body and mind is an endless achievement,

That night, Zhen Lingdan and Chao Xing were drunk, and the two of them could be heard laughing and talking loudly in the tent, and then they played the sword and sang, the two old men felt that they had not lived in vain in their lives, and they lived happily with the pleasure of enmity and revenge, and Zhen Lingdan was a late bloomer and had achieved a great cause.

At dawn the next day, the guards saw that the lamp was still burning in the tent, so they thought to themselves that the two old generals were drunk, and they couldn't help but admire in their hearts, the two veterans were really old and strong, not only mighty on the battlefield, but even drinking could be drunk all night, and the young people were out of reach, but after opening the camp tent and blowing out the lights, the guards were stunned

The guard walked to Zhen Lingdan's side tremblingly, put his finger under Zhen Lingdan's nose, his body trembled for a while, tried the torture again, and then cried loudly,

On April 13 of the fifth year of Tianshun, the star fell, the whole army wore linen and filial piety according to the Han rites, and the people spontaneously wrapped themselves in white cloth, and the whole country cried out, no one expected that Zhen Lingdan and Chao Xing died at the same time, and it was on the way back to the dynasty after the completion of the class, but at the same time, people were also particularly pleased, because it is said that at that time Zhen Lingdan and Chao Xing's mouths with a smug smile, with a smile to the end of their lives, they walked very freely, there was no pain and unfulfilled wishes, only eternal glory,

The news reached the capital, Lu Yunzhi cried loudly, no one had ever seen him so sad, think about it, Lu Yunzhi lost his father and then his mother since he was a child, and after being led into the Zhongzheng line by Shi Fang, this can be regarded as a home, although Shi Fang loves Lu Yunzhi, but after all, there are many apprentices, it is impossible to only care about Lu Yunzhi, it can only be said that he is particularly favored, not to mention that Shi Fang has Shi Wentian's son, and Shi Yuting's granddaughter, so Lu Yunzhi's heart Shi Fang is the master, the master of the grace of recreation,

Later, Lu Yunzhi recognized Chao Xing in the struggle with Yu Qian, this sworn brother of his father, the only relative elder, his uncle, Chao Xing had no children, and he had been looking for the whereabouts of Lu Yunzhi and Tan Qing all these years, of course, he didn't know the existence of Tan Qing at that time, Chao Xing had always regarded Lu Yunzhi as his own child, so he was willing to run around with him to fight on the battlefield.

Although the two are not father and son, there is still a layer of relationship between them, but Lu Yunzhi also treats Chao Xing as his closest person, and even sometimes Lu Yunzhi regards Chao Xing as his old father, so he tries not to let Chao Xing go to the battlefield, lest there is anything wrong with Chao Xing.

But Chao Xing is straightforward by nature, and he can't get used to what happens in the capital, so he has to shout to go out with the army, Lu Yunzhi in order to make Chao Xing happy, so he agreed to the suggestion of Chao Xing's expedition, I have to admit that since the beginning of the war, Chao Xing's complexion is much better than when he was in the capital to raise his life, Chao Xing died happily, but Lu Yunzhi's heart is like a knife, from now on he has no elders, this sense of loss makes him feel very sour, although he knows the common feelings of birth, old age, sickness and death, and Lu Yunzhi is not the kind of foolish and filial person, But he was still grieved,

In April, the Zhongzheng Yimai house is white, and Lu Yunzhi will always be seen in front of the funeral hall, no matter how busy Lu Yunzhi is that day,
