Wu Sangui was annoyed and angry, and wanted to scold a few words hard, but when he looked at Zhu Ping'an's expression and eyes carefully, he suddenly muttered a little in his heart. Although he has worked hard in Liao Town since he was a child, and his reputation for brave martial arts is also well-known, the person in front of him is obviously not scaring himself. Just looking at those eyes that spewed anger and distorted expressions, Wu Sangui couldn't help but feel a little timid.

Survival outside the gate has long made Wu Sangui proficient in the survival rules of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, but in front of everyone, he still has to take care of his own face. immediately straightened his neck, "If you have the guts, you will kill the general, the court has its own ......!" ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Ping'an's hand had already used strength, and the blade immediately cut a bloody mark on Wu Sangui's neck, which made Wu Sangui couldn't help but be frightened and inexplicable, and swallowed the second half of the words into his stomach.

Yang Tinglin and the others were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them, while the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen rushed forward and pulled out their weapons to come up to rescue Wu Sangui, but they were blocked by a group of fierce and vicious Zhongdu people, and the two sides were tense.

Yang Tinglin rushed over and pressed Zhu Ping'an's arm, "Don't be so reckless, General Wu Sangui is also a military attache of the imperial court, the two of you cannibalize each other, the imperial court must be investigated." Zhu Ping'an, you have just made a great achievement, and it is the time to wait for the reward, so you must not ruin your future for the sake of the battle of will! ”

Zhu Ping'an sneered. The name "Wu Sangui" is very familiar to him, seeing that this influential figure in history is now prostrate under his knife, Zhu Ping'an didn't even feel a trace of joy. Wu Sangui is the backbone of Liao Town, or it will not be a few years. will become the leader of the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen. At least before the fall of Jingshi, he still maintained his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and with him in Liaodong, he could ensure the temporary security of the northern territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if it is such a person, if he intends to cross Zhu Ping'an's bottom line, then Zhu Ping'an will not let him go.

Arbitrarily trampling on the corpses of soldiers killed in battle, indulging soldiers to loot goods, this qiē has exceeded Zhu Ping'an's bottom line. Yang Tinglin's words really didn't have much effect on Zhu Ping'an. Zhu Ping'an's hand unconsciously increased its strength.

But at this moment, Zhu Ping'an's wrist was firmly grasped by a person. Zhu Ping'an raised his head and said coldly to a burly general in front of him: "Let go!" ”

But the general didn't care. Just laughing. "Lord Zhu, in Xia Geying, served in the Caoyun Yamen Volunteer Battalion, and was ordered to escort grain and grass to Hebei this time. Before leaving. Lord Lu specially asked the last general to bring you a word! ”

Zhu Ping'an was stunned. But he didn't expect that the person in front of him turned out to be a person sent by his teacher. "What?"

"Take care of your responsibilities!" Ge Ying said word by word.

Zhu Ping'an's hand suddenly loosened, and Ge Ying took advantage of the situation and said "offended". Snatched his saber. Wu Sangui rolled on the spot, and hurriedly went out more than ten steps away, and the guards hurriedly helped him bandage his wounds.

The meaning of Lu Zhenfei's words was not necessarily aimed at Zhu Ping'an's move to kill Wu Sangui, but it suddenly woke up Zhu Ping'an, who was carried away by anger. After paying so much, the Battle of Julu was finally won, avoiding the fate of the Ming army's crushing defeat in history, and leaving Lu Xiangsheng as a talented person for the Ming Dynasty. And when he saw it, he was about to get the reward of the previous plan, although the price was a little heavy, but everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to Zhu Ping'an's expectations.

Zhu Ping'an may not have the ability to reverse the decline of the entire Ming Dynasty, but he can win a chance for himself, a chance to rebirth the Ming Dynasty, and the protagonist of this opportunity can only be him Zhu Ping'an.

In order to achieve this goal, it is indeed necessary to be patient and take into account the overall situation.

Wu Sangui on the side was already holding his neck and scolding, the guerrilla who was whipped was originally his personal guard, and at this time, it was even more fanning the flames of the dog's power, and the soldiers of Liaozhen were also unwilling to give up, and they were about to clash with Yue Jinfeng and others.

"Blind!" Zhu Ping'an calmed down, took the saber handed over by Ge Ying, and said in a cold voice: "Let those miscellaneous pieces shut up Lao Tzu!" ”

"Yes!" The blind man then bent his bow and shot an arrow without any delay, and immediately pierced the guerrilla cheeks.

As a result, there was a sudden silence around him.

The guerrilla cried out in pain, but he didn't dare to pull out the arrow that hit his cheek.

"No matter how much you dare to be impetuous, he is a role model!" Zhu Ping'an slowly pushed the saber into the scabbard, and watched Wu Sangui say such a sentence.

Wu Sangui's face was pale and pale, he didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to be so decisive and ruthless, he could hear Ge Ying's words clearly just now, he originally thought that Zhu Ping'an was just an ordinary commander, but he didn't expect that he and Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Huaiyang and Caoyun, who are now in the midst of the holy family, are also so familiar, and the two have a close relationship with each other, which makes Wu Sangui a little jealous.

Starting from Li Chengdong, the generals of Liaozhen dominated one side, and there was already a faint trend of feudal towns, but it is undeniable that the power of the wealthy families in Liaodong in the court is still not deep enough, and compared with Li Chengdong, it is not a world of difference.

What's more, with the successive killings of Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Chonghuan, the two successive governors of Liaodong, the generals of Liaozhen have always been feared by the imperial court and Emperor Chongzhen.

Now that he finally fell under Gao Qiqian's door, and got on the line with Yang Sichang, even so, he had a shallow foundation in the court, seeing that Zhu Ping'an had a very close relationship with Lu Xiangsheng and Lu Zhenfei, Wu Sangui was a little hesitant. But being cut in front of so many people, Wu Sangui always felt that he couldn't just forget it. After taking a closer look, the young man who had hurt himself was actually by Zhu Ping'an's side, and Wu Sangui suddenly became angry.

Wu Sangui pointed at Zhu Ping'an and Cao Wuxian, "It turns out that he is your person!" Wu Sangui pointed to a new scar on his face, "The hatred of disfigurement, I will have written it down!" ”

Cao Wuxian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and when he looked at Wu Sangui, he changed to a cold expression, "Do you still need to be disfigured by the master?" There was originally a place on your face, the master is just doing good deeds, and good things come in pairs! ”

Yue Jinfeng and the others only knew at this time that the new injury on Wu Sangui's face was actually caused by Cao Wuxian, and they immediately laughed loudly.

Wu Sangui trembled angrily.

Zhu Ping'an shook his head at him and patted Cao Wuxian's shoulder, "He is my brother, all the accounts are recorded on my body, I am waiting for you to come to me to calculate!" ”

Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, the mountains don't turn around, and the water will ...... one day!" ”

Before Wu Sangui could finish speaking, Zhu Ping'an had already turned his head and left, beckoning everyone to begin to gather the body of the dead robe. But he left Wu Sangui in place, and he didn't allow him to say anything cruel.

Wu Sangui jumped to his feet angrily, but he didn't dare to go to Zhu Ping'an's trouble again. Which is more important, he is very clear, and he has a battle of will with Zhu Ping'an, and he does not have this capital for the time being.

There are too many things to do in front of him, Zhu Ping'an doesn't have time to deal with Wu Sangui anymore, just the collection of the corpses of Fengyang's disciples who died in battle will take a lot of time. Fortunately, Yao Dongzhao did what he said, and had sent a large number of civilian troops to help, and the bodies of the soldiers who died in the Ming army were collected in an orderly manner, and as soon as the wood arrived, the coffin was built.

For several days, Zhu Ping'an and others worked tirelessly, doing their best to find the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle. And in the past few days, news about the Qing army has also come one after another. The left wing of the Qing army suffered heavy losses under Julu City, and its troops were lost. Huang Taiji's brother Abatai, the Qing Army's Eight Banners General Tan Tai, Ma Guangyuan, and more than ten generals such as Niu Lu Ezhen, not including the Mongol generals, all died on the Hebei station, and even Dolgon and Duoduo, as well as Bolo and other generals were also wounded. The Qing army encountered a setback that had not been encountered for more than ten years, which can be compared with the defeat of Ning Yuan that year.

Because of this, coupled with the lack of food and grass, Dolgon and Yueto had to choose to withdraw after joining forces. Even Du Du's troops, who were still stranded in Shandong, also began to retreat north. The Qing army's entry into the army this time was huge, but the casualties were unprecedented.

There is another most important reason for the withdrawal of the Qing army, that is, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting's department has also been divided into two routes, respectively into the border of Hebei and Shandong, and began to outflank the Qing army.

In this case, Yang Sichang and others in the center were also afraid that Lu Xiangsheng and others would take advantage of this opportunity to create another big victory, so they immediately ordered the cabinet and the military department to force the Qing army to withdraw its troops, and it was absolutely impossible to have a bloody battle with it and lose the strength of the Ming army.

In this case, Lu Xiangsheng could only reluctantly continue to stay in Julu and wait for the next step of the imperial court, but during this period, Lu Xiangsheng had already made a recital to the imperial court, telling the story of the battle of Hebei from time to time, and submitting the list of meritorious generals, and Zhu Ping'an was in the first place on the list.

Lu Xiangsheng is a real person, he knows the significance of Zhu Ping'an and his subordinates to the battle of Hebei, if it were not for Zhu Ping'an, I am afraid that the battle of Hebei would be a different ending.

In addition, Yin Shigang, who was in Beijing, and Lu Zhenfei, who was in Huaiyang, also got the news from Hebei, and in a sad mood, they immediately raised money for grain and grass, and transported them to Julu non-stop to comfort the soldiers.

Although the head of the second dog was found, the body could no longer be found, Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to accept Yang Tinglin's construction, and recruited skilled craftsmen to create a wooden body for him, which finally allowed the body of the second dog to be completely buried.

After several days of hard work, by the beginning of February, the affairs of Yiying had finally settled down. The bereavement pensions for the war dead and the soldiers on their hands are also in place one by one, but these are all Zhu Ping'an's own pockets, and the court is embarrassed, and I don't know when it will be rewarded. Fortunately, Zhu Ping'an gained a lot from the transaction with López, but now it has come in handy.

On the eighth day of the second month, the will of the imperial court came to Julu, and the merits of Lu Xiangsheng and other generals were greatly praised, and even the Jize army that came with reinforcements was also included. Emperor Chongzhen specially issued a decree and ordered Lu Xiangsheng and other meritorious ministers to enter Beijing to meet him and reward him as a court.

And at this time, Zhu Ping'an finally couldn't bear the exhaustion that had been going on for months and fell ill.
