After galloping for dozens of miles, the towering city wall at the north gate of Jinzhou City appeared in front of Li Xiao's eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, it was already dawn, and Li Xiao suddenly saw that two generals wearing gorgeous armor and accompanying a group of people were standing at the north gate of Jinzhou and talking about something.

"The deputy team, the second general in the front, the one in the middle is the chief soldier of the forward battalion, Zu Dashuai (Zu Dashou), and next to him is Zu General (Zu Dabi)." Wang Yishou had sharp eyes and hurriedly whispered to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao sighed, signaled that he understood, and continued to fight his horse forward.

Twenty steps away from these people, Li Xiao Wang was about to roll the saddle and dismount, when a thunderous voice sounded: "Where did you come from!" He dared to collide with the commander-in-chief, but he was going to die! ”

The person who shouted was Zu Dabi, the first fierce general in Liaodong, commonly known as Zu Er's madman, he was sturdy and stout, with thick eyebrows and angry eyes, a thick beard like a hedgehog thorn, a face trembling with horizontal flesh, wearing a mountain pattern armor and an eight-petal tasseled helmet. Seeing Li Xiao and others of unknown origin, he clenched two fists the size of a sand bowl and walked towards Li Xiao angrily.

A man next to him reached out and stopped him.

This person is also extremely tall and strong, wearing a precious cold-forged armor, a black and red face, although it is still a rough color, but there is an unbearable haggard and depressed, and the sideburns have been a little gray, this person is the first general of the famous Liaodong, the general of the forward battalion, Zu Dashou.

Since the defeat in the Battle of Daling River the year before last, the originally bold and majestic Zu Dashou quickly withered and depressed. In this tragic battle that ended in the defeat of the Ming army and almost ate the people in Dalinghe City, Zu Dashou's three sons, Zu Zerun, Zu Zepu, and Zu Zefa, all surrendered to Houjin, and Zu Dashou himself also relied on deception to gain the trust of Huang Taiji and fled back to Jinzhou overnight, so that he was spared the humiliation of surrendering to the Tartars.

This battle dealt a great blow to Zu Dashou, and most of the self-confidence and prestige of this famous general in the late Ming Dynasty were depressed, although the imperial court still retained his position as the commander of the forward battalion, and did not punish his son for defecting to the Tartars. But anyone can see that this famous Liaodong general in the late Ming Dynasty is often silent now, and he no longer has the sharpness of the past.

At this time, Zu Dashou and Zu Dabi were each leading a team of family members to inspect the defense of Jinzhou's city, but they didn't expect to meet Li Xiao and their return at the north gate.

"In Xia Guangning Zhongtun Sentinel Cavalry Deputy Li Xiao, see Zu Dashuai, Zu Shen General. The little ones had just returned from the sentry in Dalinghe City, but they didn't know that the two of them were so big, and they almost collided with the big driver, but they deserved to die. After Li Xiao finished speaking loudly, he bowed his head. Wang Yishou next to him also visited together.

Zu Dabi shouted in a rough voice: "What are you doing in Jinzhou when you come back from exploring the enemy's situation, and you don't go back to Zhongtun, but you come to Jinzhou?" ”

"General Counselor, this sentinel detective, I waited for three people, one was unconscious, one was seriously injured, and I was afraid of delaying treatment, so I came directly to Jinzhou City to seek medical treatment." Li Xiao hurriedly replied.

Zu Dashou sighed, helped Li Xiao weakly, and asked casually: "You don't know, but it's okay, have you ever found out what enemies?" ”

"Greetings, the little ones went to the north bank of the Daling River to spy this time, and they have drawn a map of the local situation and beheaded 6 Tartars. Originally, he killed three Tartars, but unfortunately the corpses were snatched back by the Tartars, and they were not beheaded. Li Xiao got up, and then replied in a calm tone, neither humble nor arrogant.

After hearing this, Zu Dashou and Zu Dabi glanced at each other unconsciously, and their faces were in disbelief.

Li Xiao and the others, with only three sentinels, they were able to draw a topographical map, and they also beheaded a level 6 Tartar?

How can it be!

"Li Xiao, where is the head you have won? Take a look at a certain family, won't it be your good fight? Zu Dabi shouted anxiously.

Li Xiao motioned to Wang Yishou and asked him to bring the head tied with fine hemp rope on his mount, and then he respectfully presented the topographical map drawn by Chen Monkey to Zu Dashou, and then briefly described the process of the sentinel operation.

Zu Dabi was anxious, snatched the string of heads from Wang Yishou's hand, examined them carefully one by one, and then stroked his palms and laughed: ", it's actually a real Tartar head!" Seeing that this hair flap has been shaved for a long time, and the shape of the teeth and mouth is also consistent, Li Xiao, you are not lying! ”

This side ancestor Dashou quickly looked at the topographical map, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

He had been guarding Dalinghe City for a long time, and he was quite familiar with the nearby terrain and landforms, and when he opened this map, he knew that Li Xiao and the others had indeed been tested on the spot, and they were by no means foolish and deceived in scribbling.

In this way, that Li Xiao said that he also shot three Tartars, but unfortunately he didn't grab the head, but it is also credible。。。。。。

It's a pity that in Liaodong, since the loss of Jinzhou, these heads that Li Xiao has won are the biggest gains of the Ming army in Liaodong. Although it is quite ironic, now that there are these heads, the place of the imperial court can also be a little prevaricated.

"Very good, very good! Li Xiao, you have made great achievements in this sentry, which has really boosted the morale of my Liaodong soldiers and soldiers. Now that I have this marshal as a witness, I will never erase your hard and bloody achievements, and I will definitely show you to the military department and the court! Zu Dashou came back to his senses from his thoughts, patted Li Xiao on the shoulder affectionately, and praised Li Xiao loudly.

"Humble Xie Dashuai cultivation!"

"Well, the old man is just a performance, no need to thank you. Li Xiao, you are such a capable warrior, the old man has never been famous, but he is lost to Jane. ”

"In the new army, the marshal doesn't know. Besides, some must be famous, and An dares to hope that the handsome will remember. Li Xiao replied humbly.

Li Xiao's humble attitude made Zu Dashou quite appreciative.

"Li Xiao, it's good that you can be so humble and unscrupulous. The old man admires you very much. Zu Dashou said with a smile.

"Thank you, handsome! The marshal was busy with military affairs, so he didn't dare to disturb more, and he also needed to take his subordinates to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, so he retired first. Li Xiao replied.

"Well, let's go down." Zu Dashou replied with a smile.

Li Xiao turned his head and glanced at the Tartar heads who were still being looked at by Zu Dabi, but when Zu Dabi saw it, anger welled up on his face, and he shouted: "Li Xiao, you thief, what are you looking at, I'm worried that my ancestor will not succeed without your merits!" I just looked at these Tartar heads, and my heart was full of joy. Tell you, these six heads, I will report them to you one by one! Hmph, when I am free another day, I will definitely have a good competition with you to try my martial arts, and whoever loses will set up a banquet and invite wine. ”

Zu Dabi, as a general, said these rude and direct sentences without official structure, which made Li Xiao's heart happy, but fortunately, there was no expression on his face, and he saluted Zu Dabi respectfully: "Okay, the general's covenant, dare not obey the order!" Li Xiao retired first, and asked the general to teach martial arts another day. ”

"Well, get out."

。。。。。。

Li Xiao then led the horse into the city with Wang Yishou, and after asking a few passers-by, they turned a few streets and alleys and came to a place called Chen Mazi Medical Center.

"Hey, deputy team, look, it is said that the medical hall is called very benevolent, holy hand and the like, but this medical hall is called such a common name, which is interesting." Wang Yishou pointed to the signboard and smiled.

Without waiting for Li Xiao to answer, an angry voice immediately came from inside the medical hall: "Who is so noisy outside, what if this medical hall is called such a name, it can't be cured!" ”

As soon as the sound ended, the door that had been hidden opened with a bang.

A man dressed in a gray jacket, wearing a square scarf, with a few obvious pockmarks on his face and a few long beards on his forehead, looked to be in his early thirties, and he appeared in front of Li Xiao with an angry face.

"You were shouting outside, but are you waiting?" This man was completely unafraid of Li Xiao and Wang Yishou, who were dressed in armor, and shouted with a big sting.

Li Xiao hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile on his face: "Just now, I am waiting for jokes, the medical officer should not rest assured, please save people." But I don't know the doctor's name? ”

The man snorted coldly, glanced at him, and then looked at Wang Yishou, who was injured in both shoulders and legs next to him, and said coldly: "A certain Chen Jun, nicknamed Chen Mazi." ”
