Early in the morning, after a night of panic, the people of Luoyang nervously opened the crack in the door, and when they looked outside the door, they didn't know, but it was just a night's work, and the Luoyang City, which had previously closed the city gate, had been opened, and the ancient capital had returned to the hands of its true master.

Facing the city gate of Luoyang City, the flag is fluttering, and the two teams of people and horses are lined up neatly near the city gate. On one side is the green battalion under the command of Wei Shengyuan, the defender of Luoyang, but the red tops on their heads have been replaced with pieces of red cloth, and the red cloth not only shows their identity, but also hides the embarrassment of shaving their hair, and on the other side is Li Ziyuan, who is in a good mood when he rides north, and he looks at the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties that he has taken down without wasting a soldier in front of him!

Now, the former ancient capital of the Han people has returned to the hands of the Han people!

He had conceived all kinds of plans to trap the city before, and the easiest way was to release the collapse method, which would only take ten days at most, and he would be able to blow up Luoyang City, and then storm it with several elite soldiers, and this Luoyang City could naturally be taken. However, he did not give up his mind of lobbying the green battalion in the city to surrender.

Before he even waited for him to make corresponding arrangements, here, Wei Shengyuan had already sent someone out of the city to contact the matter of dedicating the city, and even took the initiative to express his willingness to take the minds of the eight banner soldiers in the city as a vote.

The other party's initiative made Li Ziyuan even a little suspicious, but when last night, the sound of guns rang out and a fire broke out in the area around the West Gate, Li Ziyuan believed that Wei Shengyuan was really going to fall!

And when Wu Panlong and Wei Duzhi entered the camp with dozens of heads, everything couldn't be simpler. Li Ziyuan has always felt that what is the biggest difference between himself and Zhu Mingzhong? is that he thinks he is broad-minded, at least in the treatment of the Qing army's generals, Li Ziyuan has never disliked their experience as traitors.

This is true for Liu Fangming's Ningxia Town, and now it is also true for Wei Shengyuan, and even for Li Ziyuan, he still needs to use Wei Shengyuan as a thousand gold to buy bones, after all, there are more than one or two Han soldiers in Shanxi, and the attitude towards Wei Shengyuan will affect the Green Battalion and other officials who defected to the Manchus during the future Northern Expedition.

Therefore, for Wei Shengyuan, Li Ziyuan naturally will not treat him badly, let alone mention him, even to Wu Panlong, the prefect of Luoyang, he will also be rewarded, and he will be directly sent as the prefect of Luoyang, so that Wu Panlong, who was still worried about the future, suddenly became not only the court official of the Ming Dynasty, but also promoted to the prefect, so that the feeling of reincarnation made Wu Panlong sigh in his heart at the moment.

At this time, when looking at the strong Northern Expedition army in front of him, Wu Panwu even secretly congratulated Wei Shengyuan that he chose to sacrifice the city, instead of continuing to work for the Tartars, otherwise, I am afraid that they will lose their heads.

"Good birds choose trees to perch on!"

Wu Panlong secretly thought about it in his heart, and when he looked at Li Ziyuan, his heart was full of admiration. This General Li is really extraordinary, if he can climb this high branch, he will have a backer in the Ming Dynasty in the future!

At this moment, he saw more than a dozen Green Battalion generals coming to the front of the formation surrounded Wei Shengyuan, who was not wearing an inch on his upper body. Only then did Wu Panlong discover that Wei Shengyuan's back was still carrying thorns.

Guilty of petitioning?

In Wu Panlong's astonishment, Wei Shengyuan immediately knelt down to Li Ziyuan and apologized.

"The sinner Wei Shengyuan has seen General Li."

For this scene, Li Ziyuan, who had already seen it outside Wuchang City, was unfamiliar with it, he hurriedly dismounted and personally untied the thorns tied to Wei Shengyuan's body, and then helped him up, and said quite emotionally.

"What is General Wei's crime?"

Saying this, Li Ziyuan said loudly to the surroundings.

"You don't know, General Wei can be said to be a loyal minister of my Ming Dynasty, the reason why I was invited by Liu Qingtai, is also to be able to hold his soldiers, dedicate his city, today General Wei dedicated Luoyang, not only to protect the safety of the people of Luoyang, but also so that my Northern Expedition army does not need to overcome this strong city, it is really my Ming hero. General Wei, Li knows that the reason why you joined the army is only to sacrifice the city today to ensure the safety of the party, but now Hu Lu is according to my Beijing division, and I have suffered for a long time, and I also ask General Wei to go on a northern expedition with Li to restore the rivers and mountains of my Han people......"

Li Ziyuan's praise undoubtedly sat on Wei Shengyuan's "righteous act" of "being in Cao Ying's heart in Han", and the compliment in his words moved Wei Shengyuan's heart for a while.

"Yes, the mark will definitely live up to the general's expectations! Go to the soup and fight again! ”

Wei Shengyuan swore excitedly, and then said.

"General, mark that there is also a meeting gift here, please smile at the general."

With that, he waved his hand back, and dozens of sergeants immediately drove the silver cart over. And Wei Shengyuan continued.

"General, this is the labor army silver donated by the gentry in the city, a total of 500,000 taels, which can be regarded as the ...... to help the general's Northern Expedition."

This person...... It's interesting!

Li Ziyuan didn't care how this silver came from, but for him who was on the Northern Expedition, he naturally needed this silver. So he looked at Wei Shengyuan in front of him again. It seems that Nie Fuchen is right, this person has a lot of thoughts, if such a person is used on the right path, he is not a talent.

Li Ziyuan replied with a smile.

"General Wei, since it's not too early, I'd better enter the city early!"

"The last will obey."

Wei Shengyuan, who knew that he thought he was accepting, did not jump on the horse after Li Ziyuan got on the horse, but immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to lead the horse for Li Ziyuan.

This man...... It's really able to bend and stretch!

Seeing Wei Shengyuan leading the horse for himself, Li Ziyuan just looked at it, and then said casually.

"There's General Lao Wei!"

"Being able to lead a horse for the general is really a blessing for the general!"

Wei Shengyuan personally led Li Ziyuan's horse and introduced it to Luoyang City, and he also realized in his heart that it would not be easy to serve the master in front of him.

Luoyang is mine!

At the moment of entering Luoyang, Li Ziyuan secretly thought about it in his heart, at this time, his heart even appeared in his heart, one by one, emperors and famous generals attacked the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, of course, he also thought of his own family, Li Shimin conquered Luoyang more than a thousand years ago, at that time, Li Shimin's mood may be somewhat similar to his current mood!

As for more than ten years ago, another family member who was in this city was rude by Li Ziyuan, intentionally or unintentionally. After all, the identities of the two are different, he Li Ziyuan is an official, and Li Zicheng is a thief, even if it is to compare, it is also compared with him Li Ziyuan and Li Shimin!

In this way, Li Ziyuan and Wei Shengyuan entered Luoyang City with their own hearts, and when they entered Luoyang City, outside the gate of Luoyang City, an old man in a pale Confucian robe, in the crowd, looked at the scene in front of him with excitement, especially when looking at Li Ziyuan who was riding on a horse, the seemingly dim eyes flashed a long-lost look.

"This Li Ziyuan also has a bit of momentum!"

Although when Li Ziyuan entered the city, the people in the city did not have a scene of "eating pot pulp to welcome the king", but for Xu Yuncheng, who has experienced many such scenes, how can he not know that the so-called people "eat pot pulp to welcome the king" after the city is broken, it is just an exaggeration of the literati, for ordinary people, not to mention that when the city is just broken, it is a notice to the people, and they will wait for a few hours, or even a day before they go out of the city, even the army that enters the city will not let the people there "eat pot pulp to welcome the king" to prevent them from mixing with spies, Dead man.

At most, it is like now, some gentry and sages in the city should come to the city gate to fill the façade at the request of the yamen, and Xu Yuncheng is one of them, this will look at Li Ziyuan who was riding on horseback when he entered the city, he can understand why his old friend Qian Qianyi accepted this person as an apprentice.

"Mu Zhai has accepted a good apprentice!"

Xu Yuncheng sighed, when he looked at Li Ziyuan, the long-dormant mind, at this time, also floated, Xu Yuncheng, who is only seventy years old this year, and Qian Qianyi are on the same list of Jinshi, the two can be said to have been friends for many years, but unlike Qian Qianyi, after the Qing Dynasty went south, Xu Yuncheng, who was still an official in Nanzhi, abandoned India and returned to his hometown, and he also regarded himself as a remnant in Luoyang.

It is precisely because of his status as a remnant that Wei Shengyuan invited him to come to the city gate to greet Li Ziyuan and his party, and at this time, when he saw Li Ziyuan leading the army to attack Luoyang City, Xu Yuncheng's mind was difficult to calm down for a while.

"What Brother Hou Di said is very true, I think General Li didn't hear of his name two years ago, but now he led 300,000 troops to the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, although he is just a general soldier, but in terms of courage and courage, who else in this world can match?"

As soon as Du Dan's voice on the side fell, Xu Yuchuan, who had been in contact with Wei Shengyuan in the center of the city and had made great contributions, said.

"The same is true of King Huai, I'm afraid that in this world, there is only General Li who can compare with King Huai!"

When Xu Yuchuan mentioned King Huai, his tone was full of admiration, but Xu Yuncheng only smiled slightly.

"From Lin's surprise, in Brother Yu's opinion, the only person in the world who can compare with General Li is King Huai, not General Li and King Huai!"

seems to be the same words, but they have completely different meanings, and Xu Yuncheng's words made everyone hear the appreciation of Li Ziyuan in his words, but Xu Yuchuan whispered.

"King Huai's character is noble, which is not comparable to General Li!"

The words of the old friend made Xu Yuncheng smile slightly, but he did not speak, but he sneered in his heart.

"What about a noble character, and how do you know that this is the true husband!"

When Xu Yuncheng sneered like this, the news of Luoyang City's recovery had spread throughout Henan, which only shocked the prefectures and counties that were still hesitating, and they all changed banners to reattach themselves to the Ming Dynasty, lest they would be left behind and he would be liquidated. For a time, only the lonely city of Kaifeng was left in the whole of Henan, which was still in the hands of the Qing army......
