Bai Shixiong led the troops to stop and go, and in addition to guarding the Qing army and resting along the way, he was looking for the corpses and wounded of his comrades along the way.

There were very few wounded, and every time one was found that was not breathing, everyone was excited. And most of them are trampled on the flesh and blood, and they don't know the identity of the corpse, and they can only distinguish whether they are Qing soldiers or their own people by the armor and hair they wear.

It is impossible for these corpses to be brought back, and only one leg, one hand, or even one finger can be taken away, which can be regarded as allowing the brothers to return to their homeland. As for those who have left out the past in the dark, there is no way at all, and in the future they can only separate some from the ashes of the brothers and send them to their families, so that their families can send their sorrows.

As for the captured personnel, in such a battle of tens of thousands of horses, it is completely impossible to determine which one was captured by the enemy, and it can only be regarded as killed in battle. Their families can receive corresponding bereavement benefits without having to suffer with little hope. In the future, if these people can come back alive, they will be able to surprise their families. However, some of the problems they may encounter are not expected at this time.

They stopped and stopped all the way and did not return until noon the next day.

"How's it going?" Feng Taichu asked for the first time.

Bai Shixiong was not in a high mood and said: "I probably killed and injured more than 10,000 Qing soldiers, and we suffered nearly 3,000 casualties." The Qing army also used bombs to counterattack, and we could not inflict more damage on the Qing army when we were pursuing. The Qing cavalry did not collapse, but they did not catch up, and we rested for an hour, and then immediately retreated westward. You let the troops prepare. ”

Feng Taichu had already thought of this result, and he was not much surprised. However, the casualties of one to three can be regarded as a good result.

And after this defeat, the Qing army did not dare to rashly engage Li Yan's cavalry again, because they did not know how many rockets the enemy still had. They were helpless against such long-range, densely launched weapons. Fortunately, the most casualties this time were the cavalry of the Han army, which made the generals of the Eight Banners somewhat relieved, so they did not immediately go home to Maodong.

Dolgon, Zilharang, Hauge and others discussed for a long time before making a decision, changing the original plan, no longer letting the infantry intercept, but the cavalry followed from afar, and sent Li Yan's cavalry out of the grassland. By the way, their soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty can be regarded as patrolling the grassland, letting the Mongolian departments know that the Monan grassland is still the backyard of the Qing Dynasty, and they should not stand on the wrong team.

Regarding the fierce battle on the grassland, Li Yan in Kaifeng has not yet received news, but at this time, he is troubled by other things.

His father-in-law, Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou in the former Ming Dynasty, finally came back from a trip around the north a few days ago. and insisted on giving up the Zhou Palace, which was used as Li Yan's palace. Previously, the king of Weichuan broke off the feudal kingdom because of the heir, and the palace was vacant. After that, the vassal kings of the Zhou Dynasty made internal adjustments, allowing Zhu Gongyu to enter the most magnificent Yuanwu Wangfu in the feudal palace.

Although Li Yan didn't care about the palace where he lived, and he didn't have any requirements for Zhu Gongfang, Zhu Gongyan gave up the most magnificent palace in Kaifeng by himself, which still made him feel good. But his good mood didn't last long, and he was troubled by another thing.

Isn't he about to ascend the throne and become the emperor, the country name has been set, and he will be called Daliang. His heir Li Chunyu was embarrassed to accept the title of Emperor Taishang, but wanted Li Yan to be crowned his biological father Li Chunmao. It is said that Li Yan was passed on to Li Chunyu, so he has no father-son relationship with his biological father, and there is no need to say much about ordinary things, but this is the emperor's sealing, not an ordinary thing.

And when Li Yan was adopted, he was already married and had children. originally wanted to have a stepson, especially a grandson raised by his side, to inherit the family business and continue the incense, but he didn't expect this stepson to do a big thing to change the dynasty. Li Chunyu didn't dare and was embarrassed to accept the title of the emperor, so he kept refusing it.

But Li Chunmao also wants to be faced, his son has changed his family tree and officially passed it on to his third brother, so naturally he can't be greedy for this cheapness, and he also tries his best to resign. He didn't even want to come to Kaifeng, he had been practicing boxing and maintaining his health at Jiyuan's hometown, and he didn't care about Li Yan's affairs.

This is not the end, Li Yan's third grandfather, Li Zhengxiu, was the first jinshi in the family, and he was a Taoist before, and later went home for refuge because of the rampant bandits. Although there are no bandits in the north now, because of how many officials at all levels under Li Yan are former officials and masters, and even there are few people who show off their talents, so they scold Li Yan at home every day for not knowing the severity, and not having to learn Confucianism and use small officials, which is not the way of the king.

And the Li family in Hongdong County, Shanxi, said that it was their same clan, and sent someone over, saying that they wanted to join the clan. Their ancestors were moved out of Hongdong County in the early years of Hongwu, and they had no contact with Hongdong's family for a long time.

People from Shanxi also know that this kind of thing cannot be directly found by the future emperor, but by finding Jiyuan's hometown and wanting to solve this matter from the family level. However, Jiyuan's Li family didn't dare to make a decision on their own, so they had to come to ask Li Yan for advice.

For such a thing, Li Yan is naturally unapologetic. is from Jiyuan's hometown, except for Li Dong and the two who came early and took direct charge, except for those who are in the army, everyone else has to participate in the assessment and start from the grassroots level. Although the Li family is not a nerd, they are not very proficient in calendars, laws, accounting, arithmetic, engineering, craftsmanship and other knowledge, so most of them go directly to the army, but there are few civilian officials.

At this time, Li Zhong came in, Li Yan didn't wait for Li Zhong to speak, and asked directly: "Second brother, you say, how to deal with this matter?" ”

There is no need for Li Yanming to say, Li Zhong also knows what Li Yan is asking. He replied with a wry smile: "This kind of thing, I'm afraid it's the first one you have encountered it, and no one knows what to do." ”

Li Yan was silent for a while before he said, "Since the two old men are unwilling, then just forget it, there is nothing too emperorly." The two of them are still in their familiar hometown, living for the rest of their lives. What do you think? ”

"This" Li Zhong hesitated for a moment, and finally persuaded: "It seems that there is something against filial piety, and it will become the handle of the people of the world, so you still have to think twice." ”

Li Yan fell silent again. After a while, he seemed to figure it out. smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Filial piety is not about glory and wealth, but about making the old people happy." The name of the emperor is more stressful for the old man. It's so decided, let the two of them be more relaxed and happy. ”

Li Zhong didn't say anything, just listened silently. In this case, Li Yan can only decide by himself.

"Second brother, is there any news?" At this time, Li Yan had already let go of his confusion and calmly devoted himself to normal work. So he looked at Li Zhong and asked.
