When Xiao County was lost, Aixinjue Luo Nikan did not think that he would be defeated at the hands of the Han people in the south, just like the Manchu royal family in the past. In his view, this is only a temporary retreat, and the war cannot only be based on the gains and losses of one city and one place.

The Northern Expeditionary Army all over the mountains made his scalp numb, and the loss of one stronghold after another meant that if he stayed in Xiao County, he would probably be besieged in the city and become the second Zilharang. Nikan retreated very decisively, retreating to the more dangerous and stable city of Xuzhou, where he welcomed a new round of games.

Hou Xuanyan, a famous madman in Jiading in the past, likes to put himself to death and live after a war, and he breaks his back road and everyone fights. Now he has changed his appearance and become extremely calm, but whenever there is a slight possibility of failure, he will choose to endure it and win in the safest way. Just like this time, Hou Xuanyan had 230,000 people in his hands, but he chose to fight step by step and steadily, rather than rushing up to the decisive battle.

In the past, he didn't have a choice, if he didn't fight, he would die, and the disparity in strength was too great. has made several big bets that have pressed everything, and earned the capital that is now dominant in the world, and Hou Xuanyan's courage has also become smaller. He didn't want to give the other side a chance to turn the tables, so every step was extremely solid, and he adhered to the principle that the outside must first be secured, and first cleaned up the various forces in the south before launching the Northern Expedition with the strength of the country.

At the gate of Xiao County, which is already full of holes, the gate is open. The gentry and celebrities of Xiao County stood behind the soldiers, waiting for Hou Xuanyan to enter the city. Under the miserable sky, the smoke of gunpowder that could be seen everywhere had not completely dissipated, mixed with the smell of blood, and a foul smell permeated the suburbs of the city. Different from the euphoria of the victorious soldiers, the celebrities and gentry of Xiao County behind them were overwhelmed by the tense atmosphere. When the Manchus entered the Central Plains, these great good people shaved their heads one by one and changed into barbarian clothes, and they were all worried at the moment.

After a while, a few fast horses arrived, hundreds of knights surrounded a heroic young general, Xiao County gentry looked out on tiptoe, this general is so young and handsome, heroic, the knights around him are also straight waists, bright armor, it should be the legendary Yue Guo Gong Xuan Yan.

The soldiers of the Hunan barracks in front of the city had already cheered, but it turned out that the gentry had guessed wrong, and it was Xia Wanchun who came.

After Xia Wanchun dismounted, he waved his hand to stop the cheers, leaned over on the horse and asked, "What are you doing in front of the city?" ”

Liu Feng, the young general of the Hunan barracks, said happily: "The last general is waiting here, waiting for the general and the prince to enter the city." ”

Xia Wanchun frowned, and said angrily: "Wait? Do you still have to hold a banquet to celebrate? A Xiao county stopped the march, and there are thousands of counties in the north, when will the Northern Expedition be completed. Everyone in the Hunan barracks will continue to move forward with me, and we will storm Yunlong Mountain. ”

After taking Yunlong Mountain, Xuzhou City is in sight, which is a high post on the outskirts of Xuzhou.

As soon as Xia Wanchun was angry, the Hunan barracks walked up and down, leaving only the gentry standing outside the city, and continued to wait with anxiety.

This waited until sunset, and finally a group of soldiers came in the distance, and the leader should have been fighting for too long, and he was sweating, and he actually untied the armor on his chest. He had a terrible scar on his face, and if he had suddenly touched it in the night, he would have been scared half to death. Behind him is almost a virtue, not to mention his open chest and exposed breasts, and there is also a person who walks with high and low shoulders in a strange posture, dragging the cuirass in his hands, wearing a jade belt around his waist, and bare 1 with his arms exposed, looking nondescript. was protected in the middle, and at the moment he was leading the horse and talking about yellow jokes, which caused the military man next to him to laugh wantonly at the top of his throat.

"What's the situation?"

Hou Xuanyan was showing his cross talk talent to the fullest, and he saw many richly dressed people in front of the city gate in front of him, stretching their necks to look this way. Soon, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes, after fighting for so long, this kind of scene was not the first time he had seen it. Hou Xuan played a haha and said: "Damn, you are blessed, tonight's meal of big fish and meat has fallen." ”

There were still a few hundred steps left in the army behind him, Hou Xuanyan walked to the front of the city with his own soldiers, touched his belt with both hands, and said loudly: "Lao Tzu is the prince of Yue Guo, and today he liberated your Xiao County and rescued you from the hands of the Tartars, so you can't wait to bow down, right?" ”

The gentry of Xiao County hurriedly bowed down, and said that he had seen Guogong and the like, Hou Xuanyan pinched his waist and laughed: "Get up, Lao Tzu is carrying this Pu knife, from last night to now, he is hungry and growling, can someone set up a banquet?" ”

Liu Fengshan is the patriarch of the Liu clan in Xiao County, and when he heard this, he was blessed to the heart, and he came out of the crowd and said: "Returning to the country, the grass people have set up a banquet, but I am afraid that the prince will not appreciate his face." In fact, he didn't set up a banquet at all, but such a good opportunity, how could he slip away in vain. The Liu family has a big business, and it is not easy to make a sumptuous dinner in a hurry. When the others saw that he had taken the lead, they had to secretly annoyed in their hearts.

Hou Xuanyan nodded, raised the knife in his hand to the sky, and more than a thousand soldiers and horses poured into the city behind him, firmly occupying this ancient city that existed in the Spring and Autumn Period. A quarter of an hour later, Hou Xuanyan swaggered into the city with a group of personal soldiers, and Liu Fengshan personally led the horse to his own house, which was really a very magnificent house. Xuzhou is the intersection of the north and the south, Liu's house illustrates this point, both the elegance and elegance of the Jiangnan courtyard, and the splendor of the northern wealthy, Hou Xuanyan led his men into the courtyard, and there were already servants who stepped forward to welcome them to the inner courtyard.

The Liu family is prosperous, but there is only one Liu Fengshan who can be served tonight. Hou Xuanyan was halfway through eating, pointed to a pro-soldier on the table next door and asked, "He Zhengbang, I remember you boasted that you used to be a county commander, and you were not allowed or not?" ”

The named soldier was holding a chicken leg in his hand, and when he heard this, he hurriedly put it down, wiped his oily hands on his waist, wiped his mouth and said: "Dashuai Yingming, this matter is registered in our Daming copy, why is it not allowed." ”

Hou Xuanyan pursed his lips and looked at him and asked, "Just like you, how did you become a county magistrate?" ”

He Zhengbang straightened out his sideburns, stood up straight, bent down and said, "So that Guogong can know that the student was also promoted in the early years, and he is an out-and-out scholar." His style was full of bookishness, and he immediately changed from a soldier to a polite young man.

Hou Xuanyan almost sprayed rice, took a sip of wine and asked, "How did you degenerate into what you are now?" ”

He Zhengbang looked at Hou Xuanyan directly, without saying a word, and the meaning was self-evident.

Hou Xuanyan said curtly: "Haha, you look good now, you were the leader of a county at the beginning, and there was no way for the Tartars to come, so they could only leave the city and flee for their lives." Now that you have been following Lao Tzu for so long, you are a little bit of a Taoist, you just stay here as the county commander of Xiao County, set up officials and divide duties, appease the army and the people, and rectify the rule of officials, can you still remember how to do these things? ”

Hou Xuanyan's move is not untargeted, he has already begun to arrange the retreat of his soldiers, the north has finally been defeated, and it is a big question of who is in his hands. In history, the commander of the Northern Expedition, who worked hard and made great achievements, was not uncommon to be picked peaches. And if nothing else, the war will soon end in the foreseeable future, and when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of meritorious people of the Northern Expeditionary Army will be in the thousands, and it will be time to start settling them.

Liu Fengshan was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground, the official position of the county order was not what later generations thought, he was a seven-grade sesame official. You must know that the respect of a county is the real parent official of this county, and even the court officials who returned to their hometowns should call their old parents when they arrive in their hometowns and see the local county order. This kind of official position generally needs to have a meritorious name, and the emperor personally ordered and arranged. The prestige of Yue Guogong is really like the legend, and he set up a county order with a word, not letting the Son of Heaven.

He Zhengbang looked happy, raised a glass of wine and said to the soldiers on his table: "Brothers, I am a mixed up, you can continue to do it." From now on, we will not be able to drink so much. ”

After Hou Xuanyan had eaten and drunk enough, he took a cup of tea from the maid and said to Liu Fengshan: "In order to thank you for the kindness of this meal, I will also entrust you with an errand, you organize the gentry in the countryside here, and tomorrow you will start to cut off the braids on the back of the people's heads from house to house." I had never done this before, because I knew that the situation was uncertain at that time, and the Qing army might make a comeback, but now it is different, every time I take a step, the ground under my feet is recovered, and it will be difficult for the Tartars to set foot on it! ”
