After thinking for a while, Feng Jian opened his mouth and said to several Zhenshan battalion generals around him: "Judging from the situation on the scene, about six or seven thousand rebels have escaped through the Xiaohuakou artillery blockade, of which at least two thousand cavalry are now fleeing to Xu Yannian's ambush, and nearly a thousand rebel cavalry who have just broken off have also rushed through the Hongyi cannon blockade, so that Kong Youde's rebels still have nearly three thousand cavalry, four or five thousand foot soldiers. Now that it is getting late, I am afraid that the rebels will rush into the surrounding villages at night and harm the neighbors, and at the same time, in turn contain Xu Yannian and them, so Xu Yannian's department will fall into passivity, so my Zhenshan battalion soldiers and horses can't stop at Xiaohuakou, and the rebels here will be escorted and cleaned up the battlefield and other sweeping matters to be handled by Zhou Wei's 3,000 headquarters, and the 2,000 headquarters and the teaching regiment will pursue and defeat the fleeing rebels non-stop. ”

Zhao Shougang and Fan Li looked solemn, and immediately saluted Feng Jian and said, "Obey!" ”

Feng Jian turned around and asked Jiao Keli, "Does the Enemy Hunting Division have the latest information coming back?" ”

Jiao Keli hurriedly said: "There is no news back yet, but before that, Mr. Shen Qian sent back information that he had led the Enemy Hunting Division to ambush the rebels on the road that the rebels must pass, preparing to block the fleeing Kong Youde rebels. ”

Feng Jian's heart jumped slightly, the Hunting Enemy Division is the elite elite of the Zhenshan camp, their duty is not to confront the enemy face-to-face, Shen Xiaoshan is influenced by himself and likes to be adventurous and exciting, in case he uses more than 200 cavalry to shake the Kong Youde rebels, the consequences are not good, even if he wins the victory, he will definitely suffer serious damage.

Feng Jian sighed slightly, Shen Xiaoshan has always acted flexibly and changeably, he knows exactly what the main responsibilities of the Enemy Hunting Division are, and he will definitely be able to distinguish the priorities of things!

Hearing behind him, Huang Jinjiang suddenly pointed to the opposite side and said, "It seems that Zhou Qianzong and they are here!" ”

By this time it was already dark. I saw a group of soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion hurrying from the halfway point of the mountain, and the figure swaying at the front of the queue was vaguely Zhou Wei, the commander of the 3,000th headquarters. It was followed by Ma Shan, Yang 80, Wan Youfa and Jiang Liang, the general of the artillery team.

Behind a few people, a group of soldiers pushed and shoved and escorted a person to come together, and Huang Jinjiang, Qin Mazi and several other guards moved a few steps forward quietly. His arm rested on the blade hanging from his waist, his eyes fixed on the approaching crowd.

Zhou Wei first stepped forward quickly, touched the spurs of his feet and saluted Feng Jian, and said loudly: "I've seen the commander!"

Feng Jian looked at Zhou Wei and several subordinate generals, and praised: "The 3,000 headquarters is led by a few of you, resisting the attack of the rebels for two consecutive days, and successfully completing the task of blocking the rebels. ”

Feng Jian softened his tone slightly, "I know you guys fought hard. There were many casualties among the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion, and all of you have worked hard and made great contributions, and this officer is very satisfied, and after the war, all the officers and men will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and the casualties will be properly handled in accordance with the rules for the bereavement of the Zhenshan Battalion. ”

Ma Shan, Yang Eighty and other middle-level officers of the Zhenshan Battalion showed excitement on their faces, Feng Jian's words were like a warm current warming the hearts of Zhou Wei and others, it seemed that the hardships and hardships experienced in the past few days had dissipated, what reward in the Zhenshan Battalion could be more important than the commander's appreciation!

Zhou Wei is not good at words. But this did not prevent this honest man from expressing his allegiance, "To be able to achieve such brilliant results with fewer victories and more is all due to the commander's advance planning, and the inferior rank is just acting according to orders." ”

Behind him, Yang Eighty and several other generals echoed one after another. Feng Jian smiled and warmly praised them one by one, which naturally made several middle-level officers of the Zhenshan Battalion excited.

Then Zhou Wei pointed behind him and said: "This person is attacking Chen Guangfu, the leader of the rebel army in Xiaohuakou, and he was defeated and fled and was captured by Yang Eighty and his people. Please command the long hair to fall! ”

Feng Jian's heart moved, this person can be regarded as a relatively important general in the rebel army. Kong Youde's rebels easily occupied Dengzhou City, and this person contributed a lot, and he did not do less to burn, kill, loot, and harm the people. Directly escorting this person to the capital will surely make Chongzhen and the bigwigs of the imperial court overjoyed, and from then on, no one will erase the Zhenshan Battalion's efforts to repel Kong Youde's rebels, which is exactly what he wants to achieve by fighting back against Kong Youde's rebels with all his might.

Chen Guangfu trembled and lay on the ground and said: "The sin general attacked Xiaohuakou was forced by Kong Youde, the sin general is willing to surrender to the adult, there are still some generals in the rebel army, the sin general can persuade them to surrender, just ask the adult to forgive the sin general!"

Feng Jian frowned and stared at the figure on the ground and said: "Forgiveness, Kong Youde's arson is causing chaos and harming the place, you lackeys are acting for the tiger on the side, wantonly burning and looting, and now you have become a prisoner, what qualifications do you have to ask for forgiveness?" Crazy attack on Xiaohuakou, hurt the lives of my Zhenshan Battalion soldiers, and want to be forgiven, do you ask me if the Zhenshan Battalion soldiers agree? Like you, a vicious person, the only thing waiting for you is a cut off your head at the entrance of the vegetable market, and this official is not rare in your promise. ”

As Feng Jian finished speaking, Chen Guangfu, who was lying on the ground, trembled like chaff, and Feng Jian said in disgust: "Drag this lackey down and wait for escort to the capital, and the emperor and the court will give him a fair verdict." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Wei responded immediately, he originally thought that this person was the main general of the rebel army, and through it could influence a group of rebel generals, and it seemed beneficial to the Zhenshan battalion to introduce him to the commander, but he didn't expect the commander to hate these rebel generals.

Zhou Wei turned around and kicked Chen Guangfu is foot, and shouted to the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion who were escorting: "Take it down and take strict care!" ”

Seeing Chen Guangfu being dragged down by the soldiers like a mess of mud, Zhou Wei said: "It's getting late, please go up the mountain to rest." ”

Feng Jian shook his head and said: "There are still many Kong Youde rebels fleeing, Xu Yannian's department is afraid that it is a little lonely, this official will personally go to lead the troops to respond, and the follow-up matters on Xiaohuakou's side will be handed over to your 3,000 headquarters to handle." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Wei has never talked nonsense.

Feng Jian nodded, turned around and saw that Zhao Shougang and Fan Li's troops on the official road were already ready to go, and the shining torches in the night decorated the 3,000-person Zhenshan camp formation into a winding fire dragon.

Feng Jian galloped to the official road, and said to Huang Jinjiang on his side: "Order the whole army to advance rapidly. ”

For the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion, cross-country marching with heavy loads is a compulsory part of daily training, and the fire dragon winding in the night marches rapidly along the official road.

After more than half an hour, he joined the Enemy Hunting Division of Shen Xiaoshan, ten miles away, and saw that the Enemy Hunting Division had almost bloodlessly collected nearly 3,000 rebels, including nearly 800 rebel cavalry, and the whole Zhenshan battalion was shocked.

It is really inconceivable that the enemy hunting division of more than 200 people used what means to capture so many rebels?

Previously, Feng Jian had been worried that Shen Xiaoshan was impulsive, and he used the soldiers and horses of the Hunting Enemy Division to collide with the rebels, but who knew that things were more than he expected, Shen Xiaoshan actually exchanged such a big gain for a small casualty. If nothing else, the 800 cavalry in front of him alone is an incomparably huge gain.

Feng Jian was very pleased, after just two years, these subordinates he had carefully cultivated had already carried the beams, and their growth rate even exceeded his expectations, Shen Xiaoshan, Zhao Shougang, Xu Yannian, Zhou Wei, Cheng Yousheng and many other Zhenshan battalion officers flashed in their minds one by one.

With a group of loyal and capable subordinates, and an army that serves their lives and their own, they will definitely be able to fight a bloody road in this troubled era, and they will be proud in this world!

Cao Shaozhong was trembling and was led by Shen Xiaoshan to Feng Jian, and peeked at the young military attache standing under the torch, this is the Pingdu Prefecture Xun Battalion General who led the 3,000 defenders of Pingdu City to repel Kong Youde's 20,000 cavalry, he is so young, I don't know how this general will send himself?

With a plop, Cao Shaozhong knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to Feng Jian and said, "The guilty general Cao Shaozhong will see the adult." ”

Feng Jian stared at Cao Shaozhong, who was lying on the ground, and said softly: "General Cao, please get up, you can get lost, so that the soldiers on both sides can avoid killing each other, this is a great credit, the previous scourge was also instructed by Kong Youde, this official decided not to blame the past, in the future, General Cao and the officers and soldiers under his command, this official must have something to borrow, and I hope you don't shirk at that time!" ”

Feng Jian's few words sounded gentle, but after careful consideration, Cao Shaozhong, who knelt on the ground and kowtowed, naturally heard it clearly, although his life was worry-free, but it was difficult to continue to hold military power!

Cao Shaozhong also expected this point in the center, no one would reuse a general who had just surrendered, but Cao Shaozhong observed that Feng Jian's subordinates were extremely short of generals who led the cavalry to march and fight, as long as he showed enough loyalty, he still hoped to be reused by this general!

Cao Shaozhong hurriedly bowed to the ground again and said: "I am really grateful for the forgiveness of the adults who will treat the guilty people, and I am also deeply disgusted by Kong Youde's rebellion and the killing of each other by the army." The old slave of Jianzhou ordered the slaughter of millions of my fathers and elders in Liaodong, and most of the generals of our Liaodong army had a blood feud with the Jurchen Tartars, and the last general once persuaded Kong Youde to lead his soldiers to fight and kill the Tartars, and to avenge the fathers who died tragically under the Tartars' knives and guns, it is better than wielding a butcher's knife to kill my Han people! However, people are soft-spoken, and no one listens to what they say. ”

Feng Jian's eyes were blazing, and he carefully looked at Cao Shaozhong who was kneeling on the ground, it seemed that this Cao Shaozhong was also a bloody man, so this person could be used.

There are more than 700 cavalry prisoners in Pingdu City, plus more than 800 cavalry in Cao Shaozhong, this time Cao Shaozhong led the broken cavalry almost completely into the hands of the Zhenshan battalion, and these cavalry will definitely be transformed into the cavalry of the Zhenshan battalion itself, so that the cavalry needs a large number of cavalry officers, and the cavalry generals like Cao Shaozhong in the rebels can be screened and used.

Feng Jian stepped forward and personally helped Cao Shaozhong and said: "General Cao, hurry up, I don't want to bow down in the Zhenshan camp, you are right, we Han people don't need to kill each other, but should aim at the barbarian Tartars who killed you and my father and old folks, generals like General Cao who have a deep blood feud with the Tartars are exactly what my Zhenshan Battalion needs, and the cavalry of the Zhenshan Battalion will have to serve you a lot in the future." ”

This is a fact in the weight of the promise, Cao Shao Center in the joy of flowers, it seems that his treasure is right, hurriedly said with a straight face: "The last general and the Tartar are as deep as the sea, but the adult has a fate, the last general will definitely be willing to die for the adult, and the leader of the army to kill the Tartar is not hesitant." ”

Feng Jian patted Cao Shaozhong on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, there will be something to borrow." ”！ (To be continued......)
