Zhou Zheng, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, and Cao Bianjiao led the army to pursue Amin and Yue Tuo, and pursued Tongzhou all the way to Zunhua.

And the evacuation of Huang Taiji outside Jizhou still affected the minds of some people in Jizhou, and it also forced Zhou Zheng and others, and even Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao had to stop.

That is Wang Yuanya, the governor of Shanxi, the chief soldier Zhu Guoyan did not hold back after all, and sent troops to pursue Huang Taiji without authorization, but was defeated by the ambush of Jierharang, pursued by the cavalry, could not escape, and committed suicide.

Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui, Zhou Zheng and others joined forces and confronted Jierharang, who did not entangle much and quickly turned around and left.

The cavalry was fast, and Zhou Zheng and I couldn't chase it, so I could only follow it all the way.

It was not until December 25 that the Jianyu army completely withdrew from Xifengkou.

Yuan Chonghuan gathered all the armies, and when Chongzhen's will arrived, he successively dismissed the armies and returned to their hometowns.

Even Zhou Zheng was asked to return to Yongping Mansion immediately and not to stay.

Obviously, the imperial court was quite jealous of the more than 200,000 troops.

But before Zhou Zheng returned to the Yongping Mansion in Lulong County, he had just entered the territory of Yongping Mansion, and Chongzhen suddenly had a will.

Zhao Zhou is entering Beijing, and he is rewarded.

Zhou Zheng, Cao Bianjiao, Shangguan Lie and others were resting in one place, and when they heard this will, the three of them had different expressions.

Shangguan Lie's body was covered with bandages, and he grinned with pain when he sat down, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "My lord, what does the imperial court mean by this?" If we want to receive the reward, why should we return to our hometown? How far is Yongping Mansion from the capital? ”

Yongping Mansion is subordinate to Beizhili, which is closer than Shanhaiguan to the capital, not to mention that Zhou Zheng now has only 3,000 people intact under his hands, which is weird.

Zhou Zheng could vaguely guess that he had written a recital of the plea on the day he left Jizhou, and now, it is difficult to say whether he will ask for the guilt or receive the reward.

Cao Bianjiao looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "My lord, before I left, my uncle told me that the emperor ordered Lord Yuan to enter Beijing to discuss military salaries, and now he should be in Beijing soon." ”

Zhou Zheng frowned, and sighed lightly in his heart, he still has to come.

Compared with Yuan Chonghuan, Zhou Zheng is still an inconspicuous little person, even if someone maliciously frames him, it is not worth Chongzhen's big fight, but Yuan Chonghuan can't escape this catastrophe.

Zhou Zheng didn't worry about himself, and asked Shangguan Lie, "How is Liuzhi?" ”

There were many people who followed Zhou Zheng out of the city to fight, and they were all injured to varying degrees, but Liu Liuzhen was the most seriously injured, one arm was almost cut off, and he was seriously injured.

Shangguan Lie glanced at his right arm and said, "My sister is in the adult's mansion, it should be fine, there has been news for a long time if there is something, don't worry, my lord." ”

How could Zhou Zheng not be worried, took a deep breath, looked at him and said: "Go back to Yongping Mansion, discuss with Ding Qi, Zhang Heyi, and Yao Tongshun, and give the dead and injured brothers a copy of the silver, which must be put in place!" If anyone dares to do something out of it, cut it! ”

Shangguan Lie listened to Zhou Zheng's murderous words, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll tell them when I go back." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly, 10,000 people went out, 3,000 people came back, there must be an explanation.

Cao Bianjiao saw that Zhou Zheng had finished speaking, and said, "My lord, what should I do now?" ”

Zhou Zheng groaned for a moment and said, "The emperor's edict cannot be delayed, and I can return to Beijing." Bring your army back to rest. I had no other explanation for government affairs, and I acted according to the plan. Militarily ...... It is necessary to continue to recruit non-commissioned soldiers, strengthen training, and make up for deficiencies in the light of the gains and losses in this battle. ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!" Cao Bianjiao said in a deep voice.

He was only in his early twenties, and today's battle was the first time he had participated in command, and he had countless thoughts in his heart.

Zhou Zheng made some arrangements, and then turned around and returned to Beijing.

Zhou Zheng returned to Beijing, there was no such legendary welcome as a mecca, nor did he have heroic treatment, except for the welcome of the Zhou family, no one seemed to know.

Zhou Zheng didn't care about these and went straight home.

Zhou Qingli did not come back in the household department, and Zhou Zheng went to see Zhou Fang first.

Zhou Fang was also injured a lot, his arms, abdomen, and thighs were injured, and he was lying on the bed at this moment, unable to move.

Zhou Ding's eyes were red, and when he saw Zhou Zheng coming in, he just called 'Second Uncle', and did not greet him with the smile he used to have.

Zhou Zheng sat in front of Zhou Fang's bed and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Zhou Fang grinned and said, "What can happen, you can get out of bed after a while." Don't be like your sister-in-law, women know how to cry and cry. ”

Zhou Zheng turned around and saw that Zhou Ding's was not in the room, and said, "Sister-in-law is right to blame me, if you are not careful in this battle, I will put you in." ”

Zhou Fang smiled more and said, "What about getting in?" The manly husband is panicked if he doesn't leave! You don't even know that I have beauty in my heart now, hehe......"

Zhou Zheng saw that Zhou Fang was fine, and his mentality was better, so he stood up and said, "Big brother, it's okay, I'll go and see Liuzi." ”

Zhou Fang's face suddenly froze, and he said, "Go quickly." The day before yesterday, Liuzhi was unconscious, and the doctors said that it was dangerous, which scared us, but fortunately, it was fine. ”

This Zhou Zheng didn't know yet, and hurriedly walked towards Liu Liuzhe's room.

As soon as Zhou Zheng entered the door, a woman came out with a basin, and when she saw Zhou Zheng, she hurriedly said, "I've seen the second young master." ”

This is Liu Liuzhe's former little lover, the maid of the Zhou family, who was later redeemed by Zhou Zheng and renamed Biqing, Liu Liuzhe and her have not yet married.

Zhou Zheng saw that her eyes were red and her expression was withered, so he nodded and walked inside.

Liu Liuzhen saw Zhou Zheng coming in, struggling to get up, Zhou Zheng quickly held him down and said, "Lie down." ”

Liu Liuzhen really couldn't sit up, so he had to lie down, his face was pale, his brows were furrowed, his whole body was wrapped in bandages, and he saw traces of blood.

This is the most trusted person who follows Zhou Zheng's side.

Zhou Zheng looked at his arm for a while before he said, "Are you okay?" ”

Liu Liuzhen also glanced at it and said with a smile: "Second young master, don't worry, the doctor said that it may not be able to work hard in the future, and it is not a big deal." ”

In fact, this is also equivalent to being crippled.

Zhou Zheng gritted his teeth, agitated the corners of his face, his eyes were a little red, and said: "I promised on the Anding Gate at that time that I would not be the same to others, let alone you!" ”

It was the first time for Liu Liuzhe to see Zhou Zheng's true feelings like this, and said with a smile: "Others don't believe in the second young master, can I still not believe it?" The silver that the second young master gave me, I can't spend it in my life. ”

Zhou Zheng's eyes were moist, pressed his shoulder, and said, "It's not a matter of silver." ”

Liu Liuzhen blinked and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Hmm." ”

Zhou Zheng saw Bi Qing come in again, and said, "You are almost the same as Bi Qing, I will ask my father to marry you next year." ”

Liu Liuzhe's eyes widened, and he said happily: "Thank you, Second Young Master!" ”

Bi Qing was originally a little dissatisfied with Zhou Zheng, her pale face looked much better, and she saluted lightly: "Second Young Master Xie." ”

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and sat with Liu Liuzhen for a while before leaving.

He went to Shangguan Qing's room again.

Shangguan Qing still lived in the previous room, and there were two capable women of about the same age, wearing tights, who were taking care of him.

When the two saw Zhou Zheng coming in, they hurriedly said, "I've seen adults." ”

Zhou Zheng snorted, saw Shangguan Qing coming out of it, didn't wait for her to salute, observed, and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Shangguan Qing was still the same as before, his expression was cold, his tone was average, and he said, "It's okay." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Your brother is fine, I will arrange for him to recuperate in Yongping Mansion, if you need anything, you can tell me directly." ”

Shangguan Qing blinked his eyes, and said in a crisp and firm voice: "I want to lead the troops." ”
