Liu Zongmin's men stopped heading north, then turned to the northwest and went to meet Li Yan depending on the situation.

After detecting the movements of the two rogues, they would not attack Datong again, so Cao Yue was relieved and continued to focus on training the army.

The shortcomings of firearms in actual combat were exposed, and Cao Yue also tried to improve production in some aspects that would affect the performance of combat effectiveness. In this brief encounter with Li Yanbu, although the Portuguese did not participate in the battle, the flintlock pistols they brought were borrowed by Cao Yue for use.

There is no doubt that flintlock pistols are more convenient to use than arquebuses, and their shooting accuracy and power are better than arquebuses, not to mention the ease of shooting. Although so many modern automatic weapons were used before the crossing, after adapting to the war situation in the Ming Dynasty, Cao Yue was still full of praise for the flintlock pistol, thinking about how it could be imitated and produced as soon as possible.

With samples and manufacturing machinery, it is not very difficult to copy and mass-produce flintlock pistols. But everything takes time, and Cao Yue's headache is that he can't put everything into action in a short period of time now.

In the evening of this day, Cao Yue finished his training and returned to the city, just after dinner, someone came to report that someone had come to visit.

"Lord Commander, there is a woman outside who wants to see you, saying that she is your old friend!" When the soldiers reported, their eyes flashed with gossip.

"A woman comes to visit, or is it an old friend?" Cao Yue was a little puzzled, who could it be? After crossing over to Daming, he didn't know a few women, who could it be? "Is it the Red Lady?"

"Let her in!" Cao Yue immediately determined that the person who came to visit must be the red lady. On the battlefield that day, he sent a letter to Li Yan, and it is likely that the red lady replied for Li Yan on this trip. He wanted to see how Li Yan replied.

Soon, the soldiers brought the visitors in, and to Cao Yue's surprise, it was really a red lady.

Today's red lady is not dressed in a nocturnal dress like the previous few times, but a handsome and chic outfit. The slightly tight-fitting power suit framed most of the curves of her body, which was indescribably moving.

"Mrs. Li, I really didn't expect us to meet again so soon!" Cao Yue stepped forward with a smile and quipped: "Presumably, Mrs. Li came to visit today, not to take my life, but to tell me something, isn't it?" ”

"General Cao, the slave family ventured to visit today, and there is indeed something I want to tell you, but I didn't come on Li Yan's orders!" Seeing that there were other people on the side, the red lady was uncomfortable and couldn't help but look left and right.

Cao Yue understood and motioned for everyone around him to go down. When his soldiers saw a beautiful woman coming to their master, and Cao Yue asked them to go down, they all thought that something good was wrong, and they all walked out with laughter.

"Now that there is no one else, Mrs. Li can say something!" Cao Yue motioned for the red lady to sit down on the side and poured tea for her personally.

"Thank you General Cao," in the face of Cao Yue's gaze, the red lady tried to keep herself calm and said her intentions: "General Cao, the slave family wants to ask you why you didn't take advantage of the victory to attack that day, but stopped the attack when you gained an advantage. If you take advantage of the situation to attack, Li Yan's men and horses will definitely be defeated. ”

"I explained the meaning in my letter to Li Yan, don't you know?"

"I don't know, I only saw that day, after the official army gained the advantage, they also collected their troops to stop the attack and let Li Yan's men and horses leave!" The red lady shook her head and said with a little sadness: "I guess you don't know, the slave family is no longer in Li Yan's army now!"

"Why? Aren't you husband and wife? This time it was Cao Yue's turn to be surprised.

The red lady held back her tears, bit her lip and said, "He has already divorced me and kicked me out of the army." ”

"Why?" Cao Yue was even more surprised, "Why did he do this?" ”

The red lady looked at Cao Yue, lowered her head silently, and did not answer.

"Oh, it's because of me?" Cao Yue looked suddenly realized, "It must be you who went back and said that you were abused by me at the same time you came to the university, so ...... Hehe, so he was jealous and had an argument with you, and as a result, you also got angry, and the two of them argued, and the result was ...... You're going to fall apart, aren't you? ”

The red lady still didn't answer, just sat silently. In fact, she didn't know why she told Cao Yue these sad things, today she came to Cao Yue, in addition to asking some serious things, she also wanted to talk to him about this, she felt as if she could only talk to Cao Yue.

"Hehe, no, really? So I'm not the culprit? Now it's Cao Yue's turn to be embarrassed, "Li Yan won't be so petty, right?" I always thought that he was a very open-minded person, so this confrontation between the two armies also gave him a chance to retreat. There must be a misunderstanding in this, wait for me to write a letter and explain it to him. I didn't insult you, and I didn't ...... Defile your innocence!"

"Shall you not talk about it?" The red lady said with a little pleading: "The slave family came to you today, not for this. I want to know, why did you retreat that day and not take advantage of the situation to chase and kill? ”

"I've told you before, we Han people, there's no need to kill each other, fight in the same room, now Jiannu is eyeing each other outside the Guan, they are the ones who want to kill my Huaxia," Speaking of this, Cao Yue's expression became serious, "What we need to deal with most now is the Jiannu outside the Guan, I don't want my compatriots to kill each other, so this duel with Li Yan, I didn't expect to annihilate all his troops." It is not a secret that if he was really ruthless that day, Li Yan's men and horses would suffer heavy losses even if they were not eliminated. ”

"I know this, that's why I'm here to ask you today!" The red lady said faintly: "I thought you had a bigger conspiracy that day. ”

"You must also know that when I was under Datong City that day, when I dealt with Jiannu, I didn't have the slightest mercy, and almost wiped out more than 10,000 people," Speaking of this, Cao Yue changed his words and said more seriously: "I have always hoped that we can carry Tongkang Jiannu, so I didn't kill you all." If you have seen the situation on the battlefield that day, you should understand that the Datong army had every chance to achieve a big victory at that time. Since we have the opportunity to sit together and talk again today, I sincerely hope that you can persuade Li Yan that we should stop being enemies, and that we will join forces together to resist foreign captives. If Li Yan is willing, I can let him serve in the Datong Army, and if he wants to be the chief soldier, I can also let him go!"

"Huh?!" I didn't expect Cao Yue to say this, the red lady was stunned, and finally shook her head gently: "It's impossible for me to persuade him, he can't listen to me now." He has been disappointed in me, and he has a great prejudice against you, and it is impossible for him to ...... Also, when I was in Li Yan's camp that day, I killed two of you and wounded two! I know that those are the elite soldiers you have trained, and I have tried to assassinate you several times, and I have also formed a feud with you, you ...... Would you still want to work with me? ”

"It turns out that my people were killed that day, it was you who did it, and I am still wondering what kind of person can kill them with such skills!" Cao Yue said, glanced at the red lady strangely, and finally sighed, "Anyway, the person has been killed by you, and this time the matter has passed, and I don't care about it." I said Red Lady, you came today, you won't come to me because of these things, there must be other important things, right? If there's anything, just say it!"
