"Thank you, Vice General Zhai, for helping you avenge this!"

Li Zhigao's facial muscles writhed, holding back his grief, not as excited as the other soldiers. He is the highest-ranking general in the Tianxiong Army, and he has a deep relationship with Lu Xiangsheng, but his knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers.

Zhai Zhe patted him on the shoulder with one hand, signaling that he didn't need to say more.

"These brothers have all been handed over to Vice General Zhai!" Li Zhigao knew that Zhai Zhe had been dismissed, and he didn't know what to call him, so he still called him Vice General Zhai. After killing Zhang Qiping, he will return to the Daimyo Mansion to be his Li Zhuang master, only those soldiers from poor families choose to join Zhai Zhe's command, and most of the generals with slightly higher positions and some savings in their families choose to go home to farm.

"Brother Li, but don't worry. Our people are temporarily hidden in the Taihang Mountains, and I ask Brother Li to take care of them. "Zhai Zhe really wants to pull Li Zhigao in, with him these days, the remnants of the Xiong Army can have the backbone. But this kind of thing can't be forced, and he later figured it out, it's a good thing to have a broken thread like Li Zhigao in the Daimyo's Mansion.

"Do your best!" Li Zhigao's answer was not so smooth, at least it sounded to Zhai Zhe's ears.

The two became friends because of Lu Xiangsheng's death, but they were far from the point of friendship.

After Lu Xiangsheng's death, there was no source of military salary, and the Tianxiong Army supervised the Fuying Battalion, which was a private soldier recruited by Lu Xiangsheng, and could only be disbanded.

But Zhai Zhe is different, Zhai Zhe has been the deputy general who led an army alone, although it has been less than a year, but he has left a record in the Ministry of War, and theoretically as long as there is a supervisor who trusts him, he may be reactivated at any time. Cao Wenzhao, the chief soldier of Datong, was dismissed after the defeat of Dolgon, and in less than half a year, he was recommended by Wu Fu, the governor of Shanxi, as the chief soldier of the suppression of bandits. As long as they are famous and appreciated, the dismissed generals have the opportunity to be reinstated at any time. This is also one of the reasons why Li Zhigao chose to cooperate with Zhai Zhe, because Zhai Zhe is now famous. If Zhai Zhe is reactivated, he may have the day when he will come out again, but not now.

As he spoke, the soldiers made Zhang Qiping's head, cut off the blood, and handed it to Yuan Qizhou in a leather bag. Yuan Qizhou checked it again and put it in the package on his back.

That night, the group went their separate ways in the dark. Xiao Zhiyan will lead the remnants of the Tianxiong army to hide in Taihang Mountain, Li Zhigao will take a few family members back to the Daimyo's mansion, and Zhai Zhe and Yuan Qizhou will cross the horse overnight and chase Lu Xiangsheng's hearse.

The two of them left their hats and coats in the mountains and forests, changed their outfits, and only chose remote paths along the way, and Lu Xiangtong, who caught up with them at the boundary of Xuzhou three days later. Liu Suifeng and Lu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two of them come back safely.

Crossing the Huai River from Xuzhou, and then Fengyang Mansion, which used to be the place where the Tianxiong army and the thieves fought hard, Yuan Qizhou is an unstoppable chatterbox, and introduced the terrain and landforms, customs and customs along the way to Zhai Zhe and Liu Suifeng. Every time he thinks of the bloody battles under Lu Xiangsheng's banner, this rugged man burst into tears when he talked about emotion.

The hearse walked slowly, and Zhai Zhe simply relaxed his mood and saw the southern scenery of the Ming Dynasty. He decided to personally escort Lu Xiangsheng's hearse southward this time, with many purposes. Fengyang Mansion is not a rich place, it was attacked by thieves a few years ago, and people with bamboo battles can often be seen begging on the road.

After Fengyang, it is Chuzhou, which is the place where Gao Yingxiang broke his halberd. Before entering the boundary of Chuzhou, I saw the people on both sides of the official road with white cloths on their heads waving paper money, and called Lu Gong to tears. When they entered Chuzhou, there were more people who came to see them off, and I don't know how the news spread, some people rushed dozens of miles of mountain roads overnight, just to knock their heads in front of Lu Xiangsheng's coffin. The feelings of the people are so simple, like the people of the three prefectures of Jinan have not forgotten the kindness of Lu Gong for five years, and the people of Chuzhou still remember who rescued them from the thieves three years later.

Zhai Zhe has seen a lot along the way, and he also has time to think carefully about this world that he has never understood.

The weather was hot in June, and there were many flying insects in the wild, so the two of them hid in the house with a lamp, discussed with Liu Suifeng, and stayed up all night. Liu Suifeng is actually more familiar with Daming than Zhai Zhe. He was born as an official eunuch, and he wandered in the Central Plains for several years, washed away the lead, and saw the current situation in the Ming Dynasty particularly thoroughly. If he hadn't met Zhai Zhe, he would just want to find a small place to spend the rest of his life in peace.

"In the past, I opposed the owner to save Lu Gong, but I was wrong!" In front of Zhai Zhe, Liu Suifeng was very frank, "If the owner doesn't save Lu Gong, Yang Sichang may not let go of the owner and save Lu Gong, but let the general become famous all over the world." ”

"I saved Lu Gong from my heart, a military general, how famous is it, and what is the use, as long as Yang Sichang is still in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, the more famous my reputation is, I am afraid that it will not be a good thing!" Zhai Zhe fiddled with a soybean-sized lamp.

"Unless Yang Sichang is defeated!" The faint light turned into a golden iron horse in Zhai Zhe's eyes. Of course, Yang Sichang will fail, otherwise how could the name Li Zicheng be passed down to future generations, and how could there be a Qing dynasty.

"Yang Sichang will be defeated!" Liu Suifeng didn't know the evolution of later generations, and his tone was so crisp.

"The Ming Dynasty is recruiting several general soldiers of the Wandering Army, He Renlong, Zuo Liangyu, etc., and now they all have the idea of supporting the soldiers and respecting themselves, for fear that they will kill all the thieves, and they will end up with a rabbit and a dog. In recent years, several governors who have conquered the thieves have the most prestige in Duke Lu. Without him, just because Lu Gong was selfless in his heart and could fight side by side with the generals, Gao Yingxiang was newly defeated, and if the court did not transfer Lu Gong away, the Central Plains thieves would have no place to hide. Hong Chengchou is second, Governor Hong has great power, although he can't convince the generals like Lu Gong, but he is full of means, and the generals under his command dare not go against his mind. Sun Chuanting has become famous in recent years, and his temperament is somewhat similar to that of Duke Lu, but such an upright person has never had good results in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Suifeng suddenly stopped, didn't speak for a while, his eyes were dumbfounded, as if he was recalling something, Zhai Zhe looked at him and did not interrupt his thoughts.

After a long time, Liu Suifeng sighed, and then said: "The key point is that these two people have a resolute attitude in killing the thieves. Lu Gong gained the reputation of King Lu Yan, and Hong Chengchou once killed the thieves who surrendered in Shaanxi. I have stayed in the thief camp, such as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai, who are as cunning as foxes, and will never give up if they do not turn the world of the Ming Dynasty upside down. Yang Sichang actually instructed Xiong Wencan to surrender Zhang Xianzhong, which is a big bane. ”

"Can a thief win the world?" Zhai Zhe asked this sentence with a refined meaning.

"Difficult!" Liu Suifeng shook his head, "There are many factions among the thieves, and when the official army is strong, they can work together to resist the enemy, but once the situation is strong, there will inevitably be disputes." Just like the rebellion of thieves at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Huangchao captured Chang'an, and the world was still torn apart, with five generations and ten kingdoms, and the blood flowed endlessly. ”

This is the future of Da Ming in Liu Suifeng's eyes, although he did not deal with the evolution of the situation in the last and later generations, but it is rare to be able to deduce to this point.

This view half confirmed Zhai Zhe's view, and he continued to ask: "What should I do?" ”

"What does the owner think, where is the place where things can be done?" Liu Suifeng was already planning for Zhai Zhe to divide the town.

Zhai Zhe shook his head.

Liu opened his mouth and sipped it again with the wind, and finally said: "Let's see what we will gain from going to the south of the Yangtze River this time." The Donglin Party was suppressed for several years, and Zhang Pu formed the Restoration Society, and his heart did not die. Since the world thinks that the owner is Lu Gong's person, and the owner can't wash it if he wants to, it is better to take a step forward and become Yang Sichang's sworn enemy, waiting for the day when Yang Sichang is defeated. Apparently he didn't have a mind either.

"When?" After Lu Xiangsheng's death, Zhai Zhe's feelings were obviously more impatient than before. Because he felt the pressure, and he couldn't resist the pressure of this era. He had only 4,000 men under his command, and he was only a middling among the thieves.

"The proprietor is in a hurry! Even if you want to be a thief, you have to wait for Zhang Xianzhong to rebel against the court first. ”

Zhai Zhe took a breath, only to realize that his mind was already in chaos.

Back then, when he was outside the Saiwai, he wanted to fight against the Jurchens, with the help of the Mongol forces, with a clear goal, and every step was extremely thrilling, but he walked out of a bright road. Falling into the pit of Daming, he can't tell who is the enemy and who is the friend, and he can't find the way to go, so he can only go with the flow in this troubled world. In this era, there must be people like him, who watched the Ming Dynasty draw the abyss in the agony, or chose to die tragically like Lu Gong, or saw through the red dust and retreated to the mountains.

"I'm going to be strong!" This is his only belief.

After the Chuzhou boundary, soon arrived at the Yangtze River, opposite is Ying Tianfu, Gao Yingxiang was only one step away from crossing the river.

I finally hired a few big boats along the Yangtze River, spent a lot of silver, and transported them across the river with hearses and war horses. Lu Xiang was shy in the same bag, but Zhai Zhe helped him.

"The lord has collected a lot of silver in Tongguò over the years, and it has been spent in Xuanda's army." Lu Xiangtong explained awkwardly.

Zhai Zhe waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say much, what kind of person Lu Gong was, he had seen it with his own eyes.

has been moving forward with the hearse, Zhai Zhe has no time to appreciate the customs and customs of the south of the Yangtze River, and can only hear a few words from Yuan Qizhou's mouth.

In early July, Lu Xiangsheng's hearse arrived at his hometown in Yixing, and the Lu family set up a three-day mourning hall for people to worship. Lu Xiangtong introduced Zhai Zhe to Lu Xiangsheng's two younger brothers, Lu Xiangguan and Lu Xiangjin, and told them the details of the Battle of Julu in detail.

"Duke Lu treats me like a teacher, if the two sons don't dislike it, the last general is willing to guard the soul of Duke Lu with the disciple ceremony." Zhai Zhe begged with tears, this was the idea that Liu Suifeng gave him, and he did not reject it. Even if there is no expected effect, he should be able to use the disciple ceremony to raise the spirit of Lu Xiangsheng.

After Lu Xiangguan and Lu Xiangjin discussed with Mrs. Lu Xiangsheng, they finally agreed to Zhai Zhe's request. If Lu Xiangsheng was alive, he would not accept a military general like Zhai Zhe as a student, but seeing Zhai Zhe sacrifice his life and forget his death for Lu Xiangsheng, and send his soul thousands of miles, the Lu family is not easy to refuse.

Zhai Zhe stood in front of the Lu Mansion and tied his filial piety belt to receive passers-by. For each worshipper, Zhai Zhe tried to remember the names and faces of those people. Fame is a double-edged sword, and he has tasted the bitter fruit of it, and now he has to reap the dividends.

In the afternoon of the first day, a middle-aged man with a white face as jade came, and Lu Xiangguan and Lu Xiangjin came to receive him at the same time.

"Are you Zhai Zhe?" The man saw Zhai Zhe standing on the side and asked curiously.

"This is the former Zhou Ge Lao!" Lu Xiangtong reminded in a whisper behind him.

Zhou Yanru! Zhai Zhe remembered the information he had collected a few days ago about several people who were close to Lu Gong, and bowed and saluted: "I'm down, I've seen Mr. Ruzhai!" ”
