Soon after Zhang Jiajun left, outside the camp tent, there was a sudden sound of crying, and Lu Yuan hurriedly came out when he heard the news and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Doctor An had already come to Lu Yuan's tent at this time: "Official, Lu Duchen, he is still leaving." ”

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, as if the surroundings had suddenly quieted down.

After a long time, Lu Yuan said: "Six babies, wrap a piece of white gauze around the official's waist in the general!" ”

Soon, the sixth baby wrapped a piece of white gauze around Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan walked to the field hospital.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng had folded his hands in front of him, his face had turned dark blue, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken and closed.

Lu Xiangsheng's remnants, Li Yuhua and others, knelt in front of him and were silent.

Lu Yuan also saluted Lu Xiangsheng, he didn't expect that he would change the ending of Jiannu's plundering of Shandong, Tianjin, etc., but he still did not change the ending of Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle.

"Inform the liaison station in Qiu County to prepare a good coffin for Lu Duchen."

After Lu Yuan said this, he patted Li Yuhua next to him, and then shouted: "Brothers of the Tianxiong Army, please also mourn, although the governor is killed, but he also deserves to die, we should avenge the governor and eliminate the Tartars!" ”

Li Yuhua was still silent.

Lu Yuan knew that some of these people were all Lu Xiangsheng's followers when he was the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, and many of them were relatives and friends who Lu Xiangsheng grew up with, and they had a deep relationship with Lu Xiangsheng, and it was impossible for him to let these people ease up in grief in a few words.

Therefore, Lu Yuan didn't say much, only let the army prepare to go north, and reported Lu Xiangsheng's death to Liu Yuliang.

However, Lu Yuan didn't want Li Yuhua and these people to disappear in the long river of history, he hoped that his mighty army could be absorbed into the remnants of these Tianxiong Army, after all, the remnants of these Tianxiong Army were elite cavalry who had experienced several battles, and they were all warriors who had not died after fighting with the main force of 60,000 Jiannu.

Therefore, Lu Yuan called Zhou Gou'er over and ordered: "You go and contact Li Yuhua and them, do their ideological work, and ask them about their plans in the future, it is best to bring them over and join my mighty army, so that they can fight a decisive battle with Jiannu in the future!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Gou'er is now accustomed to being close to anyone, maintaining a friendly relationship, he has always liked to deal with people, he is tired of this kind of thing, before Lu Yuan explained him this task, he was already familiar with Li Yuhua and others, and he praised Li Yuhua and other Tianxiong Army for their loyalty and bravery, and also asked Li Yuhua and others to eat from his own pocket, and then said some of the benefits of his own mighty army.

As soon as Zhou Gou'er came to Li Yuhua's place, Li Yuhua and the others immediately stood up and bowed their hands to Zhou Gou'er: "Brother Zhou! ”

"Brothers of the Tianxiong Army, don't be polite, I don't have any other meaning to come here at this time, just to talk between friends, Lu Duchen finally died fighting for the imperial court, this matter is not only sad for you, we are also very sad, but people can't be resurrected after death, and I also ask all the brothers of the Tianxiong Army to mourn! I'm here just to ask, what do you plan to do in the future? ”

Zhou Gou'er asked.

Li Yuhua looked at the others at this time, and then replied: "We plan to send Lu Duchen back to his hometown for burial first." ”

"What about when you send it back? There will be sacrifices in the imperial court, and the Lu family and people from their own clan are responsible for the funeral, but haven't you thought about avenging the Lu governors?! Continue to fulfill Governor Lu's unfulfilled long-cherished wish, that is, to sweep away the thieves and protect the homeland? ”

Zhou Gou'er asked, he naturally didn't know if Lu Xiangsheng's long-cherished wish was this, but now that Lu Xiangsheng had died, he naturally couldn't get up to refute him.

And Li Yuhua and the others only knew that their governors died in the hands of Jiannu, as for whether Lu Duchen's long-cherished wish was to sweep away the thieves and protect their homes, they didn't think much about it, they just felt that what Zhou Gou'er said was reasonable, and even accepted Zhou Gou'er's rhetoric without hindrance, plus they were already confused about the road ahead, and they did hear Zhou Gou'er say this, and they did find that the only thing they could do to survive now seemed to be to avenge Lu Duchen.

Therefore, Li Yuhua was the first to stand up: "I want to!" Don't hide it from Brother Zhou, Li only wants to avenge the governor now! ”

Then, another remnant of the Tianxiong Army also stood up: "So-and-so! ”

Immediately afterwards, another remnant of the Tianxiong Army stood up: "So-and-so!" ”

……

Seeing this, Zhou Gou'er immediately slapped the table and stood up: "Okay!" You deserve to be my sons and daughters of the Han family! Sure enough, they are all loyal and brave people! Please accept the worship of Zhou Mou! ”

Li Yuhua and the others can only fight, very simple, where can they stand Zhou Gou'er's praise like this, seeing Zhou Gou'er so respectful, they are naturally moved one by one, and their good impression of Zhou Gou'er has doubled, as if they have regarded Zhou Gou'er as their own brother.

And Zhou Gou'er also took advantage of this to continue to do ideological work: "But brothers, you should know that the reason for the death of Lu Duchen in battle is Jiannu, and half of it is caused by whom, I don't need to say, you also know, and there is no one who is really willing to fight with you except our mighty army, and the belief of our mighty army is to defend the homeland, eliminate the Jiannu, let the people of the world have a peaceful world, and let the people of the world have their own fields!" Don't you brothers want to join our mighty army, so that they can get rid of Jiannu in the future, and then get married and have children, and fight for a peaceful home for themselves? ”

Li Yuhua has almost forgotten that his original intention of following Lu Xiangsheng was to protect his home, but it seems that he has long forgotten his original intention after switching to the north and south over the years, and now when he heard Zhou Gou'er say this, he suddenly had this strong vision, so he immediately replied: "I want to!" Brother Zhou asked General Lu if he would like to take us in! ”

Saying that, Li Yuhua and the others all knelt down on one knee towards Zhou Gou'er: "Please take in the mighty army!" ”

"Brothers, please get up! I won't hide it from you, it was our official who asked me to ask you, since you are willing to join, our mighty army naturally welcomes you! If any of you still want to kill Jiannu, avenge Lu Duchen, build your own homeland, and come to the mighty army after sending Lu Duchen back to his hometown, our mighty army welcomes you! When the time comes, I, Zhou, will personally set up a banquet for you! ”

Zhou Gou'er hurriedly helped Li Yuhua and the others up.

……

On December 28, the 11th year of Chongzhen, the mighty army officially set off to the north.

Because Jiannu returned to the north.

After the defeat of Guan Ning's soldiers, he temporarily avoided Linqingzhou, and did not dare to try to build slave soldiers again.

As a result, the cities that were previously breached by Jiannu were all recovered by Lu Yuan.

Within a month.

Ji Ze is restored!

Hengshui is recovered!

Wuyi is restored!

High Sunshine Recovery!

Then, Lu Yuan's troops went to Tianjin Wei to merge with Liu Yuliang to recover Wuqing.

……

As for Gao Qiqian and Guan Ningbing, they also began to return north at this time.

As for Guan Ningbing's collapse of Jiannu without a fight, because Gao Qiqian did not report it, and the imperial court did not know, Emperor Chongzhen did not punish him.

After the news of Lu Xiangsheng's death was transmitted to Beijing, it caused an uproar in the Manchu Dynasty, and Chongzhen didn't even dare to believe this fact.

But Chongzhen was pleased that although the Guan Ning soldiers had no results and Lu Xiangsheng's troops were almost wiped out, Lu Yuan's troops still had great achievements, and directly caused Jiannu to have to leave the customs in advance.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen still ordered Liu Yuliang, Lu Yuan and others to enter Beijing immediately to meet him.
