A battle that was bound to be defeated, or even annihilated, was reversed by the appearance of Shen Xi.

Liu Daxia personally led thousands of soldiers and horses to pursue more than 10,000 lost Tatar cavalry, and the battle lasted all night.

Although there is moonlight tonight, the Tatar tribes do not take care of each other, and they can fight for the same purpose when attacking, but when they retreat, they don't care about each other, even if they see people from other tribes besieged, they will not stop fleeing and come forward to help relieve the siege.

This is a group of improvised "thieves" who can be rich but not in tribulation, and even hope that their companions will suffer, so that when the accomplices lose their tribal arms, they can turn back and annex their tribes, and cattle and sheep pastures are at their fingertips.

As for the south bank of the Yuxi River, Shenxi's side has finally quieted down, and in addition to cleaning up the corpses all over the ground, he also has to treat the wounded and sick, and there is no need to think about sending the ox cart across the river...... Even if the ox cart could get by, it couldn't even catch up with the infantry at a slow pace, let alone chase the Tatar cavalry.

The arrows on the young guard's body were still left at the wound, and to treat this wound he had to wait until he returned to the city, and this man was sweating profusely and clenching his teeth, and he could see that he had endured it very hard.

Shen Xi secretly admired that this kind of person has good skills and ambition to serve the country, is honest and loyal, but unfortunately has no opportunity to display his ability. It's a pity that until now, Shen Xi didn't even know his name.

"Should you send someone back to the city to send reinforcements?" The young guard still didn't forget to remind Shen Xi.

Shen Xi sighed lightly: "Brother Tai, don't worry, Liu Shangshu is more thoughtful than us in these things, he can send reinforcements to rescue us, and he will definitely think of sending troops to the city to report the news." ”

"What your lord said is very true." The young guard admired Shen Xi a little more.

Late at night, fighting continued on the North Shore.

In the early hours of the morning, Yulinwei sent a large number of officers and soldiers north to build a pontoon bridge, and Zhu Hui learned that Liu Daxia was now organizing a counteroffensive, and if he didn't do anything, not only would he not share the credit, but he would also be condemned.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "At this moment, that Lord Baoguo should be like an ant on a hot pot, right?" He should now worry about how to explain to Liu Daxia and the imperial court......"

"To escort the wounded back to the city, the officer must personally guard the riverbank to prevent the Tatars from returning." Faced with Zhu Hui's order for Shen Xi to withdraw his troops back to the city, Shen Xi chose to refuse to accept it...... Just kidding, I just made such a big contribution, and you asked me to go back to the city, this is to prepare to snatch the merits of war?

Li Jun, a staff officer who rushed from Yulin City, threatened: "My lord, this is Grandpa's order!" ”

Shen Xi was furious: "I don't care if you are a grandfather or a mother, this riverbank, now I have the final say!" ”

Li Jun wanted to play tricks with Shen Xi, but he didn't have much confidence, and now Liu Daxia already knew that it was Shen Xi who led the troops, even if he forced Shen Xi back, he couldn't explain why Yulin City didn't send troops to rescue.

It was not until dawn that the pontoon bridge over the river was erected, and first scattered soldiers crossed the river, and as soon as they reached the south bank, they were controlled.

"My lord, the villain is wronged, we just withdrew from the front line, and we fought all night......"

"You have withdrawn from the front, so why don't you see anyone else? Tie it up first, find out the situation and then deal with it by military law! ”

Although it is impossible to determine which are the warriors who withdrew from the front line and which are deserters, anyway, if you catch one by one, the truth will always be found out afterwards. It wasn't until a large number of troops came back that the situation improved, and those deserters crossed the Yuxi River in a smiling and high-spirited procession, looking at their comrades who were waiting for military justice, and their hearts were timid.

Shen Xi yawned, he didn't sleep well on the first day he entered Yulin City, and after another night of tossing from yesterday to today, his body was almost no longer his own.

"Lord Shen, lie down and rest for a while." Yu Niang reminded beside her.

Shen Xi nodded, got into the carriage, and before he could lie down, Yu Niang couldn't rest assured, and lifted the curtain to check the situation.

Shen Xi smiled bitterly and asked, "I hid under the ox cart yesterday, Yu Niang won't look down on me, right?" ”

Yu Niang laughed, almost laughed out of her tears, and said: "Lord Shen relieved the soldiers of my three armies in danger, he is a hero of the Ming Dynasty, the slave family only has admiration in his heart, how dare he have other ideas?" ”

"Although I know that Yu Niang's words are compliments, it still feels quite comfortable to listen to." After Shen Xi finished speaking, he lay down, almost closed his eyes and fell asleep, just when he was sleeping groggy, he felt that the carriage was shaking violently, so he quickly got up, lifted the curtain and saw that it was Yu Niang who was driving the car, and he was looking back at him when he heard movement behind.

"Your Excellency continues to rest, this is on the way back to Yulin City." Yu Niang explained, "The battle in Yuxi has ended smoothly, and Liu Shangshu is organizing the withdrawal of troops at this time. In this battle, I won a complete victory. ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, a big victory is actually a heavy loss, but in the war with Meng Yuan, it is all earned to be able to exchange two for one, and there is nothing else in the Ming Dynasty, and the population is.

The development of the Tatars is restricted by their harsh natural environment, the nomadic people's dependence on the heavens, the shortage of resources, the backwardness of medical and health care, and the inability of the population to develop.

But those who can survive and grow up are definitely elites.

God has eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled among the Tatars, and what the Ming has to deal with is actually only the best among the Tatars.

On the way back to Yulin City, Shen Xi continued to sleep, and when he woke up, the carriage had stopped outside the gate of the Yamen of the Governor of Yansui, and Zhu Hui, the governor of Yansui and the Duke of Baoguo, personally greeted him, and even took the initiative to help Shen Xi get out of the car.

"Lord Shen is really a blessed general sent by His Majesty, who first helped me achieve a great victory in Yansui Town, and then helped Liu Shangshu achieve a decisive victory in the war against the Tatars." Zhu Hui's face was full of compliments.

Shen Xi glanced at him, what will help you achieve a great victory as soon as you come, the victory on the day I entered the city has something to do with the city?

If it weren't for you, that battle wouldn't have been fought!

"What about Liu Shangshuren?" Shen Xi asked.

"Liu Shangshu is on the way back, he asked Benjue to take care of you, Lord Shen, and let you go in and have a good rest, just wait for the reward for your merits."

Zhu Hui was very respectful, and he didn't put the duke on the show at all.

Shen Xi didn't care much about asking for rewards for meritorious service, he just wanted to know what the outcome of this war would be, and whether the war of Daming was a gain or a loss.

After sleeping all the way, Shen Xi was not too sleepy, gobbled up something, and was about to go back to the room to rest, Zhu Hui sent someone to send Daming treasure money and silver, adding up to five or six hundred taels, saying that it was a "reward", but Shen Xi knew that this was simply a bribe, or hush money.

Shen Xi said: "I have thanked the Duke of Baoguo for his kindness, but I can't accept these things!" ”

Shen Xi didn't plan to take a boat with Zhu Hui, because this Baoguo Gong really had no merit, whether it was his brain, background, or connections, he was far inferior to his relatives, the Zhang brothers.

"Lord Shen, the officers and men of the three armies are on their way back, and they have won a lot in this battle." Song Shu entered the inside, with surprise on his face, "I heard that the first level is a car-by-car ......"

In these years, the first rank is the only criterion for rewarding merit.

It's useless to say more, if you want to say how much credit you have, just point the head a little bit, although there is a set of strict criteria for checking the head, but because the Tatar men are basically the same as the women, sometimes the heads of Tatar women and ordinary people in the frontier are passed off as the heads of Tatar soldiers.

Shen Xi said: "Why do you want to do so much, you and my military exploits are indispensable." ”

Song Shu nodded yes, and said with a smile: "Lord Shen, you see...... Master Hou sent you and me to run an errand, who knew that he had achieved such a great feat, I was going to write a letter back...... How should I write this letter? ”

At this time, Song Shu is no longer the person who came to Yulin Road from time to time to show off his martial arts and deliberately pull his hind legs, he knows that his military exploits and promotions are all on Shen Xi now, and now let him choose between Shen Xi and Shou Ninghou, he will not hesitate to choose Shen Xi.

"I'll go back and draft it for you." Shen Xi Road.

"Okay, that's bothering Lord Shen."

In the afternoon, Liu Daxia finally returned to Yulinwei, and Shen Xi, as a great hero, went to the north gate of the city with Zhu Hui to greet him.

Liu Daxia rode a high-headed horse, and by this time he could finally show off his might once...... Look, your Ma Wensheng is just Hami, and I am hitting the Tatars this time.

Seeing Shen Xi and Zhu Hui coming out side by side, Liu Daxia thought that he was dizzy and misunderstood, and only after seeing it clearly did he shake his head and smile bitterly, and he already knew what was going on.

Zhu Hui didn't go out of the city to help, Shen Xi insisted on going, and Shen Xi couldn't help it, so Shen Xi brought hundreds of people to decorate the façade. originally thought that there would be no return, but he didn't think that Shen Xi would make a great contribution, but now Zhu Hui finally didn't dare to take Shen Xi seriously.

"My subordinates have seen the Governor." Zhu Hui does understand the sophistication of human feelings, at this time in front of Liu Daxia, he no longer calls himself "Benjue", but calls himself subordinate, after all, he is now serving as the governor of Yansui, according to reason, Liu Daxia, the governor of the trilateral who temporarily controls the trilateral, is his boss, so it is not necessary to have such an honorific title.

When Liu Daxia saw Zhu Hui, even if he was dissatisfied, he had to get off the horse and salute, how to say that the other party was also a dignified grandfather, and he should not be taken lightly.

"Why should the Duke of Baoguo be polite?" After speaking, Liu Daxia looked at Shen Xi, he was very satisfied with Shen Xi's performance yesterday.

After a brief salute, Zhu Hui moved his luxury carriage out again, and said, "Liu Shangshu has gone all the way to the expedition, and his hard work is high, please take his subordinate carriage into the city." ”

Shen Xi thought that Liu Daxia would refuse, but he didn't expect the three-sided governor to sit down with peace of mind, Zhu Hui wanted to get into the car with him, but Liu Daxia stretched his head out of the curtain and beckoned: "Shen Yude, you walk with the old man." ”

Zhu Hui was stunned, and then he glared at Shen Xi, but he didn't say anything, and stood aside to make a "please" gesture.

Shen Xi got into the car, Zhu Hui was extremely depressed, and watched the carriage enter the city, so he got into the carriage one size smaller.

In the carriage, Liu Daxia looked at Shen Xi with a smile: "Shen Xi, Yu Niang has told me everything about your efforts to turn the tide, and the old man owes you a life this time!" ”

Shen Xi hurriedly said: "Liu Shangshu is serious, the student just did something that should be done. ”

Liu Daxia sighed: "But these things seem to be taken for granted, even if others know that they should do it, they will not take the initiative to do it." You have made meritorious contributions to my Ming Dynasty this time, I will definitely ask Your Majesty for your merits, you don't have to pay much attention to the lords and nobles like Baoguogong, just do your own thing. ”

"Yes."

Shen Xi agreed with this very much, if it weren't for the stability of the border pass, he really didn't want to pay attention to Zhu Hui and the other wine bags and rice bags.

"You take a few days to rest for the time being, see that the Tatars have lost the battle, and after going back to rectify, they may not know when they will counterattack, but fortunately, the three sides will be temporarily peaceful for a while, and the imperial court will send reinforcements in the future, and our own losses this time are also very large!" Liu Daxia said, "If you want to stay at the border pass, I will ask Your Majesty for instructions and allow you to stay......"

Shen Xi hurriedly said: "The student is young and has shallow qualifications, so I still hope to go back to the capital to polish it." ”

Liu Daxia smiled: "You are a person who dares to say and do...... I heard you hid under the ox cart yesterday? ”

Shen Xi secretly scolded Yu Niang in his heart, you really say anything.

"But it doesn't hurt." Liu Daxia smiled and said, "Your advantage lies in courage and wisdom, not your body, if you stay in Qingshan, you are not afraid of running out of firewood, if it were me, I would do the same thing with you." ”
