Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi led the old troops of the Dashun Army, which were less than 10,000 people, to retreat to Hengzhou, where their old comrade-in-arms of the Dashun Army, Hao Yongzhong, was waiting for them.

"Why is it only you, the general?" Faced with Hao Yongzhong's questioning, Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi choked up.

"What's wrong with the general, say it quickly!" Hao Yongzhong shook Li Laiheng's shoulder anxiously.

Li Laiheng said with tears in his eyes: "My father-in-law asked me and Uncle Yuan to withdraw first with the old troops of the Dashun Army, and that night, Yuezhou fell. ”

"No, it can't be! Li Guo, you can't just leave, you still owe your brother a knife, and you said you want to get me a good one, you can't talk and don't count! Speaking of this, a dignified man, a well-known hero, actually pulled the reins of Li Laiheng's horse and cried in a mess.

Crying and crying, Hao Yongzhong seemed to wake up suddenly, he choked up and said: "It won't be like this, General Zhi won't just leave, he swore to avenge King Chuang." Something must have gone wrong. Did you see his body? Hao Yongzhong grabbed Li Laiheng and asked.

"No, we just know that Yuezhou fell that night, and the life and death of our father-in-law are uncertain. There were more than 200,000 Qing troops besieging the city, and we also took advantage of the sudden heavy snow to block the enemy's sight before we broke out of the encirclement. If the father-in-law wants to break through, it will be difficult to escape the enemy's pursuit. ”

"After you retreat, how many generals are left?" Yuan Zongdi replied: "There are about 60,000 left, and my father-in-law refuses to retreat, mainly because it was Wu Sangui who attacked us, so he said that he would rather exchange twenty people for a tartar than let them die a few more." ”

Hao Yongzhong was stunned, Li Jin's fate, the fate of these comrades-in-arms of the Dashun Army had already been closely linked, not to mention, they were all the eighteen horsemen of Shangluo back then.

However, fate has too much helplessness, Hao Yongzhong has no choice, comrades-in-arms are important, Hengzhou City is also very important, he can't give up his duties for the sake of brotherhood and go to Yuezhou to find someone.

The heavy snow fell for several days, and the mountains and rivers in the south were frozen for thousands of miles, and after a few days, until the snow stopped, the dark clouds in the sky were still pitch black, so heavy that people could hardly raise their heads.

"Look, there's a man and a horse over there." The soldiers of the Ming army at the head of Hengzhou City found out about the situation and shouted loudly. "Hurry up and report it!"

Not long after the first soldier ran back to report to Hao Yongzhong, another soldier came and shouted from afar: "Great marshal, good news, General Li Jin is back!" Hao Yongzhong was overjoyed: "Hurry up and open the city gate!" ”

After that, Hao Yongzhong, Li Laiheng and others ran out quickly. Immediately seeing Li Jin's haggard figure, Hao Yongzhong rushed forward unceremoniously and punched him in the chest:

"You kid is willing to come back, why didn't you come back with Wu Sangui's head?"

Li Jin's body was very weak, but he insisted on it, and said to Hao Yongzhong with a smile: "Count this dog thing lucky, with so many people and horses, we can't do anything about him for a while, hum, but don't worry, his life will not be too long." ”

Li Laiheng walked to Li Jin's side and looked carefully, and handed Li Jin a water bag, several people walked back while talking, and Li Jin drank a bag of water in one go.

Hao Yongzhong asked again: "How did you come out of Yuezhou?" Li Jin's eyes were moist: "The city walls are all destroyed, why can't I get out?" Thank you to our horse! The Qing army chased me for thirty miles, and I killed a dozen of them in total, but they stopped chasing, and I wanted to kill them back and ask them why. ”

Seeing that Li Jin was safe and sound, everyone was relieved, and when they returned to the station, Li Jin was eaten.

And Hao Yongzhong and Li Laiheng all watched him eating alone, and kept asking, "Father-in-law, Uncle Hao was worried that something would happen to you a few days ago, crying like a child, and shouting that you owed him something and didn't pay it back." ”

Li Jin couldn't remember what he owed Hao Yongzhong, but Hao Yongzhong said embarrassedly:

"Hey, silly boy, why are you still mentioning those things, your father-in-law is also a poor ghost, and he doesn't drink the blood of soldiers, what do you ask him to give me back? Isn't it just a knife? The knife he said he wanted to give me could be better than the knife the emperor gave me? Hao Yongzhong said, and Bian Xian put a new knife that Tianlang gave him.

In the end, it was a military general, Li Jin saw that Hao Yongzhong took out a good knife, forgot to eat the meal, and the fatigue disappeared completely, grabbed the knife, and looked up and down. "This is really a treasure knife, you kid can do it, and you have also received the holy gift."

Hao Yongzhong pursed his lips and said proudly: "What is that, when I attacked Jiangxi, I was alone, with a knife, I killed hundreds of Qing soldiers, and repelled the tens of thousands of troops of He Luohui and Liu Liangzuo......"

Hao Yongzhong counted the battles of Jiangxi one by one, and said proudly: "With such a merit, the emperor gave me a fish scale purple gold knife, it's not too much!" Besides, after that battle, my Qiushui Yanling knife was so bad that I couldn't kill anymore, and of course the emperor had to compensate me again. ”

Li Jin couldn't put this knife down, he looked at the knife and said to Hao Yongzhong: "You said the name of this knife is Fish Scale Purple Gold Knife?" Good knife, knife as its name suggests! ”

After saying this, Li Jin actually pulled out the treasure knife and played all the way, the knife technique was really fast and accurate, and the tiger was vigorous! All the generals of the Dashun army shouted in unison, 'Okay! ’。

"It's good to break through the king's knife technique all the way, and the general's family heirloom knife technique is much more exquisite than ours!"

Hao Yongzhong has a treasure knife, but he can't help but admire Li Jin's knife skills. The king knife technique is Li Zicheng's housekeeping skill, and there is also a king knife that is also a treasure blade in the world.

It's just that Li Zicheng is enshrined in a temple, and if he has the opportunity to kill back to Shaanxi, Li Jin will take back the knife left by his uncle.

With the Fish Scale Purple Gold Knife, Li Jin naturally didn't need to give Hao Yongzhong any extra knife, and after practicing the knife technique, Li Jin sat back and continued to eat.

"General, what is the situation in Yuezhou?" Hao Yongzhong's question is not finished.

Li Jin also said while eating: "No, all gone, the recruits in the army, all left there, I finally tried to lead the last thousands of brothers in the city to break out of the city, but it was unsuccessful, and the remaining brothers finally chose to die in the city." ”

Li Jin seemed to be inadvertent, but tears flowed down inadvertently, and he continued while eating: "I am not a tiger who is afraid of death, death is only the end of hatred for me. But if the enemy does not die, how can hatred end? If they are alive, why should I be allowed to die?

But that's okay, Wu Sangui is now strong, and I have the motivation to kill him! The battle of Yuezhou is fought to the end, at least 30,000 of his horses will be killed, we will not lose! ”
