"It was the most dangerous time of my life, when I was surrounded by tens of thousands of thieves and I had only two guards by my side. At the critical time, I was not afraid of danger, holding a bright silver gun under the yellow horse, shouting and rushing into the army of thieves, killing seven in and seven out, blood-stained robes, and then I came out of the encirclement and returned to the command of the Marquis of Yangzhou. ”

Years later, Liu Neng hugged his grandson on his lap and bragged about the past.

And the fact is that when he saw that the Ming troops around him threw away their weapons and surrendered, Liu Neng just fought a little, and then decisively threw away his weapons and knelt on the ground.

"Thousand households!" One of his soldiers tugged at Liu Neng's clothes and shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Kneel down quickly, leave Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, and wait until you find an opportunity to escape later." Liu Neng scolded in a low voice.

Several pro-soldiers looked at each other, and they could only kneel down helplessly with Liu Neng.

The soldier with a weapon in his hand came over and ordered the Ming soldiers to tie themselves up with each other, and those who hesitated a little stepped forward with a knife.

Liu Neng and a few pro-soldiers helped each other, untied their belts and tied themselves up, and in order to escape, they were tied up with slipknots.

"Qianhu, that thief general is so familiar." On the way to the camp of the Chuang army, one of his subordinates whispered in Liu Neng's ear.

Liu Neng looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a majestic body riding on a big horse with miscellaneous hair.

Isn't that an iron lion? Liu Neng's eyes widened suddenly.

As the captain of the Xishan Army, Liu Neng naturally knew the Zhengtie Lion of the Right Battalion at that time.

"Yelling what? Speak again and kill you with a knife! A soldier saw the whispers of Liu Neng and others, and when they came up, they were beaten with a whip and a few ghosts cried wolf.

"Master Jun, Master Jun, may I ask if your general's surname is Hao?"

Liu Neng hesitated in his heart, and then wondered if he would recognize the iron lion, after all, the iron lion was a traitor to the Xishan Army and a traitor to the thief, and even if he recognized him, he would not care about the old feelings. But what if the iron lion cares about the old love? This may be a chance to escape on your own! Liu Neng hesitated and finally asked. Desperately, thankfully, he remembered the Iron Lion's real name.

"What do you want to do?" The sergeant looked at him warily.

"Master Jun, I am an old acquaintance with your general, please go and talk about it, just say that Liu Neng, the old man of Xishan, wants to see him." Liu Neng smiled all over his face and said to Sergeant Chuang.

The soldier looked at him suspiciously, thought about it again, and went to report back to the iron lion.

Liu Neng looked from afar, and saw that the iron lion listened to the report, but he just turned his head to look here, and did not come over, nor did he let people call him over.

Could it be that he forgot his name? Still doesn't want to recognize himself at all, Liu Neng thought nonsense.

The soldier came back, but he just stared at Liu Neng deeply, and didn't do anything else.

Along the way, the soldiers guarded Liu Neng and his gang more strictly, and they couldn't even find a chance to escape, but fortunately they didn't beat them again.

was escorted all the way to Lucheng, De'an Mansion, and entered the military camp outside the city, but Liu Neng failed to find a chance to escape.

At night, when the hungry Liu Neng and the others were about to fall asleep, suddenly an intruding soldier passed by and escorted him away.

Liu Neng was a little panicked at first, but instantly settled down, it should be the iron lion who wants to see him!

Sure enough, when he was brought into a large tent, he saw the majestic figure of the iron lion in the candlelight.

"Liu Neng, it's really you!" The moment he saw Liu Neng, the iron lion's eyes flowed, and his expression was a little excited.

At this moment, he remembered that when he was in Xishan, the moment when he got along with everyone in Xishan Army day and night, it was really a memorable time.

"Iron, General Hao." Liu Neng exclaimed hesitantly.

"The general Hao waved the flag, Tian drove the general Guoyi for the Emperor of Dashun, and the iron lion was just a pseudonym nickname at the beginning." Seeing Liu Neng's hesitation, Hao Shaoqi explained.

"I didn't expect to see my old friend here, it's a real surprise." After hesitating, Liu Neng returned to his true character of being eloquent, and the first sentence pulled the two sides to the old man, hoping that Hao Shaoqi could look at the past and treat himself well.

"It's a real surprise." Hao Shaoqi also smiled and said, after hearing the news of Chen Yue's rebellion, the iron lion was extremely angry and resentful that Chen Yue had deceived him, but he calmed down and thought about it, after all, he was the first to deceive Chen Yue, and the other party was just giving back to him in his own way, so he felt a lot calmer when he thought about it.

And after such a long time, the anger towards Chen Yue gradually disappeared, and he recalled the ease of getting along day and night. To be honest, those days in the Xishan Army were very memorable moments in the life of the Iron Lion.

"Aren't you supposed to follow Master Chen in Yangzhou, why are you here?" After sighing, Hao Shaoqi asked. As a general of the Chuang Army, he also understands the reality of the Ming army and knows the news that Chen Yue is currently in Yangzhou.

Liu Neng smiled and briefly said his identity, there is no need to hide these things.

"It turned out to be a thousand households in brocade clothes, it's really disrespectful!" Hao Shaoqi smiled and said with a smile.

"Shouldn't General Hao follow King Li Chuang, why is this De'an Mansion?" Liu Neng asked.

Hearing this, Hao Shaoqi showed a wry smile on his face.

"It's not thanks to the Marquis of Pingnan!" Hao Shaoqi said with a long sigh.

It turned out that after Chen Yue surrendered and rebelled, Li Zicheng was furious, but because he had to deal with Wu Sangui, who also rebelled, he had no time to pay attention to Chen Yue.

As for Hao Shaoqi, who recommended Chen Yue to surrender, Li Zicheng was not implicated at first, after all, Hao Shaoqi was also thinking about Dashun and hoped to recruit a fierce general for Dashun.

But later, when the news of Chongzhen's ascension to the throne in Nanjing came alive, it turned out that Luo's speculation was true, and Chongzhen was really rescued by Chen Yue.

Without Chongzhen, Daming is a plate of loose sand, and with Chongzhen, it is completely different, Li Zicheng is also a hero, so he naturally understands the truth. In addition, the Dashun army was defeated by the Manchu Tartars, and the soldiers were lost, and Li Zicheng's mood was even worse.

Although Hao Shaoqi did not say it explicitly, Liu Neng, who is accustomed to observing words and feelings, also guessed his situation. A thought arose in my heart.

"General Hao, Master Hou, he misses you now." Liu Neng said tentatively.

"Brother Chen," seeing Liu Neng mention Chen Yue, Hao Shaoqi's heart was shocked, and he no longer called Chen Yue's official position.

"Brother Chen, I'm afraid he hates me even more now." Hao Shaoqi smiled bitterly.

"General Hao, where did you say, Hou Ye also said at the beginning, General, you were originally a person who broke into the army, and you can't betray the Xishan Army, so he understands your situation very well, and then you are willing to take risks to recruit us for the Xishan Army, if there is no you, maybe Hou Ye and the Xishan Army will be destroyed in Beijing, where is the current Pingnan Army. So Master Hou, he doesn't hate you at all. ”
