The endless prairie stretches out under the sky, as far as the eye can see. The grass is green, and the breeze blows like waves.

It is really like a blue sky with white clouds, and horses run under the white clouds. At this time, a group of about 5,000 heavily armed soldiers and horses were galloping across the grassland.

Drive!

A big flag flutters in the wind, and a phoenix of nirvana is painted on the flag, which is about to take off in the blue sky.

"Commander, where are we now, where are we going?"

Zhang Yang looked back and smiled: "I don't know where this is, but according to the compass, this should be due east." We just have to keep going east, all the way east. ”

"Haha, Horqin, I'm coming soon!"

In the past two years, Zhang Yang has captured more than 30,000 young Tatar women and killed more than 100,000 Tatars.

Zhang Yang was also turned into a demon from hell by the Tatars, whether they surrendered to Zhang Yang or were hostile to Zhang Yang, there was only one end, and that was death. Zhang Yang did not take prisoners at all, which can be said to have thrown the entire western steppe into a mess, and the Tatars either moved north or turned east to the Manchurians.

Zhang Yang was also praised by Liu Xia for this, and was directly promoted from Yangwu School to the level of Yangwei School. And his subordinates were all promoted at this time.

Feng Xiangwei's deputy commander was the former deputy captain of Liu Xia's personal guard, Guo Min. Guo Min can be said to be Liu Xia's henchman, all of whom can enter the guards are Liu Xia's most loyal people, and the people in the guards are basically middle-level officials, and the officers sent out from the pro-guard brigade are the most, mainly to act as Liu Xia's eyes, so that Liu Xia can better control the army. These people are loyal to Liu Xia, and at the same time have good ability, if they are promoted, they will definitely be promoted first.

Therefore, the Guards Brigade, especially the Guards, are particularly popular, and many soldiers want to enter the Guards Brigade or even the Guards.

Guo Min looked at the young man next to him who was not very old, but was very powerful in both tactics and force, and was a little jealous, but he also knew that Zhang Yang was Yu Mingjun's younger brother, and he was also the group of people who escaped from Yangzhou City with Liu Xia back then, and he couldn't help but feel that it was normal for Zhang Yang to have what he did today.

"Commander, what are we going to Horqin for?" Guo Min didn't know what Zhang Yang and the others had calculated in Yangzhou City before, so Guo Min was curious and puzzled that Zhang Yang had always wanted to go to Horqin.

After hearing this, Zhang Yang turned his head and said with a smile: "Naturally, there is something to do." It doesn't matter to you, when we were in Yangzhou before, we said that we would snatch the first beauty of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for the prince, although it was just a joke at the time, but the commander took it seriously, so I wanted to go to Horqin, I heard that the big jade was the first beauty of the Manchu Dynasty. ”

"Da Yu'er?" Guo Min was confused for a while, and then understood who Zhang Yang was talking about, so he said: "Even if we want to snatch Da Yu'er, we won't go to Horqin!" You must know that the big jade is in the palace! In the face of Guo Min's reminder, Zhang Yang was not disappointed, but said with a smile: "Of course I know that Da Yu'er is in the palace, but it is a little difficult to break through the palace of Tartar at this time, so I thought that since Horqin can give birth to a beautiful woman like Da Yu'er, then there must be many beauties. ”

"Oh, I see, after listening to the commander, I also want to see the beauty of the Horqin woman!"

"Hahaha, maybe that big jade is out of the palace, we can just meet it, and then intercept it, so it's better, and you don't have to run to Horqin, it's too far."

After a few hours, everyone was obviously a little tired, and Zhang Yang asked all the soldiers to dismount and rest. Seeing that it was not too early, Zhang Yang said: "Set up camp on the spot!" Make a fire and cook and leave tomorrow! ”

Zhang Yang said that, and the soldiers who had been riding horses for a day suddenly screamed with joy.

Luoyang City, Luoyang City at this time has become more prosperous, not only the merchants in the city gathered, the people are numerous, even outside the city has gradually built houses, the whole Luoyang City is surrounded by people for several miles, the first time to Luoyang people still think that the outside of the city is in the city! It can be imagined that it is prosperous, so Liu Xia had to arrange a lot of investigations to be stationed outside the city to manage public security.

With Meng Yu and Shou Biao, Liu Xia secretly pushed away a certain house in Luoyang City, only to see that the lights in the house were bright at this time, and the maids and servants inside were busy, and when they saw Liu Xia coming, they hurriedly saluted.

"Knock on the prince!"

Liu Xia hurriedly waved his hand a little impatiently and said, "Get up!" Go ahead and go all on your own! ”

Regardless of Meng Yu and Shoubiao, he came to the house, only to see that Chen Yuanyuan was sitting and debugging the pipa, every time he saw Chen Yuanyuan's face that captivated the country and the city, Liu Xia couldn't help but sigh, no wonder such a beautiful face is often said to be a disaster for the country and the people! This king will suppress you here, so that others will not be mistaken because you have lost the world. Alas, this king is too good, and this king has borne all the suffering of the world for you. Thinking of Liu Xia, he walked over with a smile on his face.

When Chen Yuanyuan saw that Liu Xia was coming, he hurriedly put down the pipa in his hand, stood up, walked around the table and walked quickly towards Liu Xia.

"The slave family has seen the prince!"

Liu Xia hurriedly stretched out his hand to support it, and then held Chen Yuanyuan's jade-like little hand by the way, and felt comfortable for a while. He said softly, "No need to be polite. This king hasn't come to see you for a few days, how are you doing these days? Saying that, Liu Xia took Chen Yuanyuan into his arms. Chen Yuanyuan's face turned red, and he said softly: "The slave family is okay, it's just a little lonely, there is no one else here, and the slave family can't find anyone to talk to." Chen Yuanyuan looked at Liu Xia without saying anything, of course she knew who Liu Xia's three princesses were, they were all her former sisters, she naturally longed to live with them, after all, she could talk in her spare time.

As soon as Liu Xia saw Chen Yuanyuan's coquettish appearance, she knew that she might have something to ask for herself, because there had been this kind of thing before, Liu Xia asked, "What's wrong?" But what's the matter? Liu Xia said, then Chen Yuanyuan said: "Is it okay for the prince, can you let the slave family live in the palace?" In this way, the slave family does not have to be so lonely and lonely, the princesses are all sisters of the slave family in the past......" Of course, Chen Yuanyuan knew that this condition was a little unrealistic, but she knew her identity and knew what Liu Xia was afraid of, so she lowered her head after saying that, but her eyes picked up from time to time to glance at Liu Xia's expression.

Liu Xia didn't get angry when he heard this, he hugged Chen Yuanyuan with one hand, rubbed the warm little hand with the other, and paid in his heart: Wu Sangui already knew about Chen Yuanyuan two years ago, and everyone in the world already knew about it, so there was no need to hide it, but Chen Yuanyuan could be allowed to stay in King Zheng's mansion, but the name could not be given.

Although many people scolded Liu Xia for being lustful, more people were very happy, after all, Wu Sangui was a big traitor, if it weren't for him, how could he be so easy to get into. More often than not, it is a ridicule of Wu Sangui. Nowadays, there are romance versions such as "King Zheng Skillfully Captures the Pretty Beauty", "Wu Sangui Loses the Beauty, Liu Zheng Wang Loves the Beauty" and so on. However, most of these things also happened, and Liu Xia's jurisdiction and Nanming and Shang Kexi's jurisdiction, no one dared to talk about this in Wu Sangui's territory.

Since Chen Yuanyuan followed Liu Xia, she didn't talk about Wu Sangui anymore, after all, she is now Liu Xia's woman, and she regards Liu Xia as her man wholeheartedly. Liu Xia said: "Well, since you all know each other, that's very good." There is no need to worry about this king. In a few days, when the king has cleaned up the house in the palace, he will move you in. When Chen Yuanyuan heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, and Liu Xia was fascinated by it.

PS: Regarding what some friends said, there are too few troops to occupy Guanzhong. In fact, there are not too many people in Guanzhong, after all, there has been a drought for more than ten years, and Li Zicheng has been tossed for a few years, and the population has decreased. Agriculture is in ruins. Also, Liu Xia's main battle force was more than 80,000, but each province had a regimental garrison. Henan has 9 prefectures with a total population of 22,500. Shaanxi also has more than a dozen prefectures and more than 30,000 troops, so it is more reasonable for Liu Xia to raise 150,000 troops with his current money and food.
