Liu Xingpei said humbly: "Don't dare, the emperor can forgive me and other big sins, this is what we should do." ”

Cao Wenzhao said again: "There is General Lao Liu." ”

Liu Xingpei only then understood what Cao Wenzhao meant, and he also knew that this was originally the proper meaning of the question, his brother first rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, voted for Houjin, and now he has rebelled against Dajin and voted for the Ming Dynasty, of course, there must be a way to win trust.

So he directly drew his knife and cut off the head of a Niu Lu Ezhen with one sword, and then raised it up and shouted: "All my subordinates must be stained with the blood of Jiannu, otherwise they will be beheaded." ”

There are 3,000 Han troops in Fuzhou, how can more than 100 people be enough, so in the end, the broken corpses of the Houjin soldiers were all over the ground, and some people vomited a few times.

Cao Wenzhao said with satisfaction: "General Liu has worked hard, there is a decree in the saint, and the Han army is not to blame in the past, not to mention that General Liu sacrificed the city to kill slaves, which is a great achievement." ”

Liu Xingpei was overjoyed and thanked, and invited the guards to enter the city, Cao Wenzhao smiled and said: "I fully believe in General Liu, we have to go to Fuzhou first, and General Liu will be stationed in this city." ”

Liu Xingpei was even more happy, although there was chaos in Jinzhou, and the guards could be pacified from Fuzhou, but it was still a good thing to get such trust, so he smiled and said: "General Cao, it's almost noon, we have prepared some simple food, and please don't dislike it." ”

Cao Wenzhao looked at the soldiers who were already a little tired from the bumps in the sea, so he said, "Then trouble General Liu." ”

The soldiers of the Guards were finally able to rest, and they were naturally very happy, not to mention that the simple food prepared by Liu Xingpei was not only not simple, but it could be said to be too rich, so everyone ate very happily.

Liu Xingpei invited Cao Wenzhao and other generals to eat in the tent, Cao Wenzhao shook his head and said: "We have always eaten the same things with the soldiers, so let's do it here." ”

Liu Xingpei looked at Cao Wenzhao and the others who were walking towards the soldiers, and said to his younger brother Liu Xingbang next to him: "This time, the second brother finally did one thing right, and the Guards are no longer comparable to the original Ming army." ”

Liu Xingbang asked: "Big brother, are you optimistic that the Ming army can eliminate Jiannu?" ”

Liu Xingpei smiled: "It is extremely difficult to succeed in defeating a big country with a small state, but in the past, the imperial court did not pay attention to Jiannu and let them take the opportunity to become bigger. Now the emperor Shengming, with such a general to lead the army, to destroy Jiannu, is just around the corner. The emperor can forgive me for my actions that day, and this open-mindedness can indeed make me die. ”

Liu Xingbang also smiled: "As long as I can win the emperor's trust, I can return to Daming and restore the clothes of my ancestors, as long as I can live one day, I am also willing." ”

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and they both felt that this time the second brother (second brother) had done too right.

Liu Xingbang suddenly frowned and said, "I just don't know what General Cao will think of Li Yongfang, I'm a little worried about Yan Geng." ”

Liu Xingpei's face also changed, and after thinking about it, he said: "The second brother should be able to handle this matter well, if Li Yangeng can be forgiven by the imperial court, then in the future, the Liaodong Han generals will surrender after just one move." Let's go eat with General Cao first. ”

After that, the two brothers came to Cao Wenzhao and the others, and they also followed their example and ate with the soldiers. I don't know if it's because the food is delicious, or if the two of them are more curious about this way, anyway, I think today's food is really good.

After resting for a while after dinner, Cao Wenzhao led the second brigade to Fuzhou, passing through Shiheyi, Leguguan, Pangubao, everywhere, there were Han generals kneeling to greet them, so they finally came to Fuzhou in the afternoon of the next day.

Liu Xingzuo took his brothers Liu Xingji, Liu Xingliang, Liu Xingren and his subordinates to meet the guards outside the city. Liu Xingzuo was carrying a thorn on his back, and his naked upper body was shivering in the cold wind, but the rest of the Liu family did not carry a thorn, but there was also a person next to Liu Xingzuo who was carrying a thorn and even had a straw mark in his hair.

As soon as they saw Cao Wenzhao, the kneeling people began to shout together: "Ten thousand death sinners Liu Xingzuo (Li Yangeng, Liu Xingji, Liu Xingliang, Liu Xingren...... Welcome the angels, and ask the general to rebuke. ”

Cao Wenzhao immediately jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Liu Xingzuo, helped him up, threw away the thorns on his body, and said: "General Liu cherishes his homeland and can wake up, the emperor said, he is still my good son in China." In the future, the affairs of Liaodong will have to worry about General Liu a lot. Rise up, everybody, and I won't help each other one by one. ”

Everyone said together: "Thank you for your kindness." Then he stood up, and the man who knelt next to Liu Xingzuo and carried the thorn was still kneeling on the ground, and shouted: "The grass people are too guilty to get up." ”

Cao Wenzhao looked at Liu Xingzuo, Liu Xingzuo arched his hand and said: "This is Li Yangeng, the eldest son of the pseudo-Jin Li General Bing, who hates his father's evil deeds and has been helping to escape and return. Then he knelt down and kept prostrating.

Cao Wenzhao was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice uncertainly, "Li Yongfang's son?" ”

Liu Xingzuo also replied in a low voice: "Exactly, please have mercy on General Cao." ”

Cao Wenzhao pondered for a while, stepped forward to help Li Yangeng, removed the thorns on his body, took off his brocade robe, and wanted to drape it on him.

Li Yangeng refused with tears on his face: "The grass people are deeply sinful, and they don't dare to be so courteous to General Cao." ”

Cao Wenzhao insisted on draping the brocade robe on him, and then said: "The saint once said that unfilial piety is a great sin of human ethics, but if it is because of the nation and the country, it is great filial piety." Brother Li's move can be described as great filial piety. ”

Li Yangeng cried on the ground: "Because the grass people don't want their ancestors to be ashamed, they have always opposed what their father did, and they often have a sense of panic in their hearts. Holy Lord, the grass people are guilty. ”

Cao Wenzhao helped him up and said: "The saint said that one person is responsible for one person's crime, and the crime is not as good as that of his wife and children, you are not only not guilty, but meritorious." I will go to the Holy Shrine to ask for credit for you. Come, let's go into the city together. ”

The Houjin people in Fuzhou City have all been killed, and Liu Xingzuo led Cao Wenzhao to cut off the heads of the Houjin people. Cao Wen Zhao said: "Put away the heads of this place, and then merge the heads of Jiannu from other states, and send them back to Juehua Island together, and ask for credit for you." ”

Liu Xingzuo was naturally overjoyed and said, "The banquet has been set up, please General Cao to appreciate it." ”

Cao Wenzhao wanted to appease Liu Xingzuo's heart, and said at the banquet: "The performance for General Liu and others has been sent to Beijing by the General Staff, and tonight General Li's matter will be directly sent, so you can wait for the good news." ”

All kinds of requests, thank you for your support! Li Yangeng, the eldest son of Li Yongfang, actively participated in Liu Xingzuo's activities to organize the escape of the Han people in Fuzhou from Houjin, and actively assisted Liu Xingzuo's brothers to escape from Houjin. When the Houjin troops attacked Dalinghe and Ningyuan, they "sent their henchmen to be spies" and reported information to the Ming Dynasty in a timely manner. After the incident, he was killed and killed.
