018 corpse three thousand Huaining Zhixian Kong Rusong's emaciated body, leaning on the thigh of a servant, his face was bloodless, his eyes were closed, a blood-stained Pu knife was still tightly clutched on his right hand, the official uniform on his chest had been soaked with blood, and a big hole had been broken in the patch, and it seemed that Shunjun had stabbed him in the chest.

"Kong Zhi County, Master Kong, you hold on, come here, call the medical officer" Although Wang Lanping and Kong Zhi County have only known each other for a few days, this kind of sympathy for the old friends, like-minded and single-minded, is enough for the two to say that they hate each other, he quickly ran to Kong Rusong, pressed the wound on his chest with his hand, and shouted anxiously.

Kong Zhixian, who was in a coma, suddenly woke up, his eyes were wide open, and he grabbed Wang Lanping's clothes, "General, go"

After speaking, a stream of blood gushed out of his mouth, he put down the knife, painstakingly sorted out the seven-grade black gauze hat on his head, and said lightly, "The minister is loyal to the Ming Dynasty"

After that, he was dead on the spot.

Kong Rusong's death made all the members of the county government with filial piety, this is the respect he deserves, they all say that the iron hit of the Yaxing flowing water of the county, but Kong Zhisong has been working in this Huaining City for seven years, although there is no famous court achievements, but there is a benevolence and righteousness for the people, the county officials, up to the county Cheng, down to the county jail, who has not received the favor of Kong Rusong, who is not willing to be different from the flow of pollution in a county is seven years to work for the benefit of the people of the county Qingming impressed, if a person can insist on seven years without eating please, No favoritism, proper punishment, even if he is false benevolence, it is enough to make the whole city cry for him.

The moonlight was miserable, the night wind was miserable, the torches planted all over the city of Huaining were whirring in the wind, and the corpses on the city had been cleaned up.

Wang Lan stood calmly on the city tower, in today's battle, 500 of the 700 soldiers were buried in other places, and most of the remaining less than 200 people were injured, even the officials in the county government who never knew what the war was were also killed, and more than 100 people in Huaining City who spontaneously came to defend the city also died on the city wall, just one day's work, thousands of people were killed and injured, which made Wang Lanping feel unprecedented loss, he owed these people, the Ming Dynasty owed these people.

Zheng Sen and Song Dali walked over, and Zheng Sen said, "General, the city tower has been re-strengthened, and the city gate has also been repaired and repaired."

Wang Lanping looked at the campfire in the Dashun military camp in the distance, and nodded, "There are two people, Song Qianhu, you can arrange it, hand over the city wall defended by the people to Zheng Zhuangshi's people to guard, please go back to rest, write down all the names of those who have died in battle, and send their bodies home early tomorrow morning, and compensate their families according to the death of the Ming military households, and the silver can be paid to the county government to find an account to pay."

Song Dali retreated.

After Song Dali left, Wang Lanping saw that there was a person who seemed to have been standing behind him for a long time, and had been maintaining a posture like a door god, holding a spear in his hand, motionless, standing less than five feet behind Wang Lanping.

Wang Lanping glanced at the man, it was the battalion soldier of the Fengzi battalion that he saved from the Dashun soldier knife today.

"What are you doing here?" Wang Lanping didn't seem to call him.

"Back to the general, the villain's life was given by the general, in the past, the little one only knew how to work for others, but today the general gave up his life to save the villain, and the villain's death is difficult to repay, I have been standing behind the general in this life, whoever wants to be unfavorable to the general, let him kill me first" His answer was categorical, blurted out, and the expression on his face was very affirmative.

"What's your name?" Wang Lanping didn't expect that his inadvertent move could be exchanged for such a grateful person, and on the battlefield of swords and swords, no matter who it was, Wang Lanping would help.

"General Hui, the villain's name is Li Qimei, a native of Sichuan"

"What, Li Qimei?" Wang Lanping glanced at Zheng Sen, the two of them smiled sideways, Wang Lanping said, "It's a strong man, how can you call it a seventh sister"

The people who were standing guard not far away couldn't hold back their laughter.

Li Qimei swallowed her saliva, "Laugh, laugh, my mother gave birth to six male babies in one go, and she wanted to give birth to a female baby, but I didn't expect that when I came here, I was still a male baby, so I gave me this name, and I didn't have a way."

Wang Lanping and Zheng Sen finally couldn't hold back, and laughed at each other, Zheng Sen gave a thumbs up, "Your mother is amazing"

Li Qimei touched her head and smiled.

Wang Lanping said, "Your name, this feminine, or I'll change your name."

Li Qimei nodded, he has been laughed at for more than 20 years because of this name, "You have to get it, the general is the champion and knowledgeable"

Wang Lanping smiled slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "The Ming Dynasty, now there is only half of the turbulent country in the south of the Yangtze River, as a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, because of the chaos and prosperity of the country, you, you will be called Li Dingguo."

Li Qimei's eyes lit up, although he didn't understand the meaning of these words very well, but it sounded very manly, bloody, and nodded busily, "If you want it, you want it, you want it, you want it, from today on, I will be called Li Dingguo."

Wang Lanping also nodded, there is a famous anti-Qing general in the Southern Ming Dynasty in history who is also named Li Dingguo, I don't know if it has anything to do with today's indiscriminate tampering with other people's names.

Li Dingguo laughed for a while but cried, looked up at the night sky in the west and said, "Old lady, you are old in the sky, bless your son and bless General Wang to live a long life, old lady, the seventh sister has a big name today, Li Dingguo"

Wang Lanping patted Li Dingguo's shoulder, "Your wife heard it"

Hearing Li Dingguo call his mother, Wang Lanping couldn't help but think of his wife and Yun Niang, who had never enjoyed the wealth that day, at this time, I don't know if they have stayed away from the war-torn Huaining, no, where can they go?

"Kong Zhi ......" Wang Lanping wanted to shout Kong Zhi, but then he remembered that Kong Rusong had died in battle, where did he send my wife, in this troubled world, it is not safe anywhere.

Zheng Sen asked, "What's the matter with the general?" ”

Wang Lanping looked around, and then his gaze fell on Li Dingguo, "Li Dingguo, can you do something for me?" ”

Li Dingguo raised his chest, "The general ordered"

Huaining City is still on the edge of the battlefield, at this time to care about his family in public, you must know that the defenders of the city are not around, everyone is abandoning their wives and families to follow their lives here, so he pulled Li Dingguo to the downwind, and whispered, "Brother, please do something, I can't leave Huaining City for a while, my wife and, and a friend of mine ran out of the city to flee, this army is in chaos, I am afraid that they are in danger, can you help me find it?" ”

Li Dingguo is duty-bound, "small willing"

"Okay, they went out of the city from the east gate in the afternoon, altogether, there are four people, three women and one man, among them there is a girl named Yun Niang, they should not go far, you look for it along the east of the city, if you find it, take them to find a safe place to settle down first, and then come to me, if you can't find me, I will inquire about the Fengzi camp"

Li Dingguo nodded, "Do you want it?"

Wang Lanping can only ask him to do his filial piety, God bless the old lady, but nothing can happen, and Yun Niang's family.

Li Dingguo turned around and went back to the county office, took some coils, changed into the clothes of the common people, and hid a short blade on his body, and turned to the east of the city in the dark, which was also down the city, the outside of the city was very quiet, the moonlight was hazy, he ran away from the city wall more than 100 steps in one breath, found a path to the south, chased it, and the blind cat killed the mouse.

The night was peaceful, and the next morning, Wang Lanping, who had never taken off his armor, leaned on the city and slept for a while, and was woken up.

"General, look" It turned out to be Song Dali and Zheng Sen, who were pointing out the city with nervous expressions.

Wang Lanping stretched his aching body and stood up.

There is a man riding outside the city, and he is only a stone's throw away from the city.

A man ran forward and came to the pile of corpses under the city, and was startled by a flurry of flies.

"Dashun Pioneer General, please General Wang go out of the city to speak," the man ran back to Li Laixiang and stood behind him.

Zheng Sen said, "What do you mean? Do you want to make peace? ”

Song Dali thought for a while and said, "The general can't go, be careful of deception"

Wang Lanping yawned, "Lie to yourself, we have a few people here, he wants to launch another attack, we have to finish playing, and listen to what he wants to say"

Zheng Sen shook the knife in his hand, "I'll go with you"

Wang Lanping nodded, "It's okay, let's go, I'll meet him, Song Qianhu, take care of the city wall, be careful of their sneak attack"

"Yes!"

The newly repaired city gate creaked open, Wang Lanping and Zheng Sen rode out, the outside of the city was stinking, and if it was not cleaned up, I was afraid that the whole city would break out of the plague, but there were no less than 2,000 corpses piled up under the city.

The two stopped more than twenty steps away from Li Laixiang.

Wang Lanping said, "What do you call me? ”

Li Laixiang is like Wang Lanping, a hero of the world and an opponent with himself, that is a high look, although both sides are their masters, but the hero cherishes the hero, he hugged his fist, "dare to ask Wang Zhuangyuan, General Wang"

Wang Lanping also arched his hand, "Exactly, you are Li Laixiang?"

Li Laixiang took a few steps forward, "It's me"

Wang Lanping said, "Didn't General Li come to persuade him to surrender?" If it's me, I'd better not open your mouth."

Li Laixiang laughed, "Why didn't Wang Zhuangyuan descend?" You are a martial artist, you must be a soldier, Huaining City is a small soldier, it is not easy to defend, why bother to fight for nothing"

Wang Lanping also laughed, "Then why didn't General Li withdraw his troops, although Huaining City is small, it is enough to make the general out of reach."

Both of them were bragging, neither of them holding on to the place where the other was killed, they looked at each other tacitly, and laughed in unison, as if they were old friends on the battlefield with corpses.

Wang Lanping hit the horse and walked to the side, Li Laixiang grabbed a fart, and then followed, Zheng Sen wanted to follow, but after thinking about it, he still stopped in place, and his hand did not leave the hilt.

The two walked more than 100 steps, and Wang Lanping never spoke, because he knew that since the other party took the initiative to invite him, it must not be just to brag.

are all generals with troops, sometimes the victory or defeat of a battle depends entirely on the calmness of a general, and having a calm mind will not mess up, just like now, both of them have something to say, and they don't want this battle to continue like this, but no one wants to speak first.

After another hundred and ten steps forward, finally Li Laixiang couldn't bear it anymore, and reported that Yuan Zongdi's 100,000 army was less than a hundred miles away, and when he arrived, this Huaining City had not yet been taken, and his face as a pioneer general was gone.

Li Pingxiang grabbed the horse and said, "Wang Zhuangyuan, after this battle, it shows that you are a rare general, now that the Ming Dynasty is dead, you are such a young hero, why bother to bury it, if you can return to our dynasty, I promise not to remember the past suspicions, to the Emperor Dashun to raise the talent of the general, the future will not lose the position of prince"
