Li Zhen listened to the young man's words, his brows furrowed, and his expression was slightly solemn.

As someone who knows the history of the Qing Dynasty, Li Zhen knew the status of the Borzigit tribe among the Mongol tribes. This tribe married a woman from the Qing Dynasty emperor and had a fairly high status. Historically, the Horqin grassland included four and ten banners of Inner Mongolia, namely the six banners of the Horqin Division, the first banner of the Durbot Division, the first banner of the Zarat Division, the second banner of the Gollus Division, and the Zarute Division. The Six Banners of the Horqin Tribe, which is the Borzigit tribe, is the core part of the Horqin grassland.

Behind it, it represents a powerful Mongolian tribe, which is why almost all the concubines of the Manchu emperor are Mongols, and their status is second to none in the steppe. Seeing Li Zhen's expression, the young man was not afraid of the guns around him, and said smugly: "Boy, you know the fate of offending your master." You have offended me, you have offended the gods, and you should be killed! ”

Li Zhen smiled coldly and said, "I paid the bow and arrows, and the horses!" ”

Lu Shaochuan received the order and immediately asked the soldiers to collect the guns of the youth and his entourage.

The young man immediately yelled, but unfortunately faced the muzzle of the gun, even if he was unwilling to cooperate, but in the face of the gun, he still reluctantly handed over the weapon in his hand.

Li Zhen frowned and strode towards the young man.

Seeing that Li Zhen was strong, the young man thought that he would not suffer the immediate loss, so he took a step back and said: "Boy, I won't kill you, now you apologize immediately, and we will end this matter." ”

Li Zhen said coldly: "Now, I don't want to finish. ”

The young man looked at Li Zhen's cold cheeks and the coldness that flickered in his eyes, and couldn't help but shudder, and said in a deep voice: "I, I, I apologize to you, you spare me." The young man said this, but his mouth was wrong, he was already scolding in his heart, and he was already planning to get rid of Li Zhen first, and then return to the tribe to move the rescue soldiers and find someone to kill Li Zhen.

Li Zhen said: "You beg for mercy, and I don't plan to let you go." ”

It was useless for the young man to beg for mercy, and he became angry again and yelled, "Do you know who I am? If you offend me, you offend the Borzigit tribe, and even the entire steppe. You have to think about the consequences. Now, I don't plan to pursue this matter, or even the matter of you hurting me, if you continue to pester, I will ...... you."

When the young man spoke, Li Zhenyi grabbed the gun from the soldier's hand, picked up the butt and threw it out.

"Smack!!"

A crisp voice suddenly sounded.

The young man screamed and fell directly to the ground.

He lay on the ground and wailed, his left hand covering the left half of his cheek, and he kept making painful noises. Just now, Li Zhen picked up the butt of the gun and threw it out, directly hitting the left half of the young man's face, and under the blow, his face was bleeding, leaving a fierce mark. Li Zhen looked at the entourage of the young man who was controlled, and then at the youth on the ground, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

After a long time, Li Zhen looked at Lu Shaochuan and ordered: "Kill them all!" ”

"Yes!"

Lu Shaochuan got the order and immediately asked the soldiers to take action and killed everyone, including the young man.

Li Zhen looked at the people who fell to the ground one by one, his expression was cold. It's not that he wants to kill all the people in front of him, but that after anyone escapes back, it will bring trouble to Li Zhen. Especially the young man with a heart of hatred, once he returned to the Borzigit tribe, it was impossible to let Li Zhen go. After weighing the pros and cons, Li Zhen killed everyone.

Zhang Zhidong walked over and said with a smile on his face: "Master Lu, there is still a process owed." It is necessary to destroy the corpses, bury all the corpses immediately, and remove the traces so as not to cause us trouble. ”

Li Zhen nodded, agreeing with Zhang Zhidong's statement.

Soon, the soldiers buried all the bodies and began to remove the traces, leaving no aftermath. Li Zhen had no interest in staying and continuing to enjoy the scenery, so he ordered the soldiers to leave. When Li Zhen went south, the Borzigit tribe was already in trouble, because the young man killed by Li Zhen was really the heir of the Borzigit tribe.

Half a month later, Li Zhen left the Horqin grassland.

Li Zhen led his people all the way south, and soon entered the territory of Zhili and rushed towards Beijing.

When I arrived in Beijing, it was already the third day of the fifth month.

Beijing City, the gate of the North Gate.

Zuo Zongtang and his soldiers were waiting for Li Zhen to return, and Liu Jintang stood next to him with a proud face. Behind the two, there were countless soldiers. Liu Jintang smiled slightly and said: "Zuo Shuai, this time the battle situation in the north has fallen, I heard that Peng Shuai is sitting in the north and is already the commander of the Fifth Army. This time, our original Hunan big brother is a big minister. ”

Zuo Zongtang said: "Brother Peng is already talented, and it is normal for him to emerge. ”

After a pause, Zuo Zongtang's face was full of smiles, and he said with a smile: "This trip, the prince only took a few people to the north, laid a great foundation, not only recovered the northern region, but also married a Russian princess, so that the Russians were deflated, happy!" can have such means, in today's world, there is only the prince. ”

After Liu Jintang heard this, he also had to admire.

"Da! Da!! ”

The sound of horses' hooves sounded as the army galloped in from afar.

This army is Li Zhen's team.

After Li Zhen's team approached the city gate, Zuo Zongtang immediately greeted him, walked quickly in front of Li Zhen, raised his hand and saluted: "Zuo Zongtang, the commander of the Fourth Army, has seen the prince!" ”

Li Zhen turned over and said with a smile: "Brother Ji, it's hard work!" ”

Zuo Zongtang said loudly: "It's not hard, the prince has come back from a long journey, it's really hard, please let the prince enter the city." ”

Li Zhen nodded and strode ahead.

After the group entered the city, Zuo Zongtang followed next to Li Zhen and said, "Lord Wang, the Forbidden City has been cleared out, and the palace maids in the city have not been dismissed, but have only dealt with Yi's wife." You just have to go straight to the house. ”

Li Zhen didn't answer and said, "Brother Ji, let's talk about the situation in Beijing." ”

Zuo Zongtang said respectfully: "Lord Wang, Beijing City has been taken, and most of the children of the Eight Banners in the city have died, so there is nothing to worry about." Except for Lord Guiliang, the people loyal to Yi have been killed, and none of them have been left, leaving no hidden dangers. ”

Li Zhen said: "This method is not like your Senior Brother Ji's usual practice!" ”

Zuo Zongtang was already prepared in his heart, and said: "Back to the prince, wanton killing is also a last resort. The prince has his own court in the south, and there is also a court in the north, and there are many children of the Eight Banners in the Forbidden City, if these people are alive, it will not be good for the prince's great cause. Therefore, for the sake of the great cause of the prince, I made a spicy move to let these people die in the war, so that they could not affect the prince. ”

Liu Jintang followed behind, and his heart was moved. , he killed innocents indiscriminately, but Zuo Zongtang resisted.

Li Zhen glanced at Liu Jintang next to him, waved his hand and said, "Since it's all done, there's no point in pursuing it." Besides, you also mean well, so there is no need to mention this matter. The two of them continued as they spoke. When Li Zhen and his party came to the gate of the Forbidden City, Li Zhen suddenly stopped and ordered everyone to stop advancing.

Zuo Zongtang was stunned, why did he stop?

ps: The fourth shift, call it a day.
