Thirty miles south of Shunde Mansion, on the halfway slope of Fangting Mountain, Zhai Zhe lit the yellow table paper in his hand, and a wisp of green and yellow flame trembled gently and gradually spread, and a little warmth surrounded his fingers.

There are 4,000 Tianxiong soldiers and more than 1,000 cavalry who follow Zhai Zhe buried here, and the horse leather shroud is the fate of the soldiers.

A small river meanders around the mountain, the ice has thawed, and the river is babbling and crystal clear. Ascending high and looking far away, the field of vision is broad, even people like Zhai Zhe who don't understand feng shui know that this is a good place.

The soldiers around lit the paper money that surrounded the middle of the mountain, and the four fields were silent.

Zhai Zhe bowed and bowed, and behind him, Xiao Zhiyan, Zuo Ruo, Feng Qin, Meng Kang, Liu Suifeng, Che Feng, Li Zhigao and Yuan Qizhou saluted in turn.

"Let's go!" Zhai Zhe turned around, his leather boots stepping on the soft grass. The ice and snow have melted, spring is coming, and the Qing captives have broken through Jinan in Shandong, and they are about to retreat to the outside of the fortress. I heard that the governor of Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting, led the Qin soldiers of King Qin to arrive in Beijing soon.

The imperial history sent by the imperial court to confirm Lu Xiangsheng's death, and someone from the Ministry of War also came over, but I heard that Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, did not believe that Lu Gong had died in battle, and Lu Gong could not be buried so far. In order to ensure that the corpse did not decompose, Zhai Zhe had to send people to the cold place in the Taihang Mountain to collect ice. That's it, I'm afraid I won't be able to last more than ten days.

Zhai Zhe is no longer so angry, because for some people it is unnecessary, there is a saying that anger is an incompetent twin brother. Only by making yourself stronger can you survive in this era and protect the people you want to protect, but no one can be strong enough to control this world, just like Emperor Chongzhen.

Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu collected the remnants of the army and stationed in Zhending Mansion, which was hundreds of miles away, and Lei Yanqian was also there. The generals of Xuanda were all uneasy in their hearts, and they didn't know what the imperial court would do with them.

Several people rode slowly back to Shunde Mansion, there were few pedestrians outside the East City Gate, and the coffins of Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Liukai were visiting there alone. After these days, the number of people who come to worship has gradually become scarcer, and now only occasionally one person comes.

"Relatives or remnants of sorrow, others have also sang. What is the way to die, and the body is the same as the mountain. Zhai Zhe remembered these poems of Tao Yuanming.

Li Zhi'an, who had been silent, listened to Zhai Zhe finish reading these words, and interjected in a low voice: "Vice General Zhai, I have already conveyed your intention to the sergeant of the army, and there are four hundred and eighty-two people who are willing to join your command!" ”

Zhai Zhe was quite surprised and asked sideways: "What about you?" ”

"I've been in the military since 10 years ago. Now that my parents are old and want to go home to serve my parents, if Vice General Zhai needs to use me in the future, he will definitely follow him. ”

Li Zhi'an's words have a deep meaning, looking at the court's attitude towards Lu Xiangsheng, the Tianxiong Army has become history, Zhai Zhe's fate is undecided, and he doesn't want to make a decision. A person who was still a general a month ago couldn't accept that he immediately became a thief, not to mention that he had fought a bloody battle with a thief under Lu Xiangsheng a few years ago.

"Good!" Zhai Zhe was overjoyed and no longer reluctant. There are 482 people in the Tianxiong Army who are willing to serve him, and many of them are for his sake of rescuing Lu Xiangsheng. There weren't many of them, but they were extremely important to his plan, and if the army ended up being based in the Taihang Mountains, then these soldiers, who were closely connected to the three prefectures of Jinan, would allow the cavalry to crisscross the area with ease.

"Vice General Zhai, please rest assured, the court knows that your troops are strong and strong, and I am afraid that it will not embarrass you too much!" Li Zhian comforted him.

"Huh!" Zhai Zhe shook his head. Those people didn't even pay attention to Lu Xiangsheng, not to mention that he, a small lieutenant, had already cut off his retreat.

These days, Zuo Ruo has been checking the terrain along the Taihang Mountain, Shunde Mansion is too close to Baoding, not a stable station, the south side of Zhangde Mansion is in the junction of Shanxi and Henan towns, which is the best place to hide. Before the Qing captives retreated, everyone's attention in the court was focused on the Shandong territory, and the gap in the current space was Zhai Zhe's most precious time, and he had to make all the preparations before the imperial court cut off his retreat.

In early March, Lu Xiangsheng's body already smelled, and Zhai Zhe ordered the coffin lid to be sealed. Yang Sichang will not come to see it in person, and if the military department is deliberately making things difficult, he has no choice.

Since ancient times, the Han people have said that the coffin is closed and the soil is safe. Yang Sichang's behavior made Zhai Zhe not even hate him, only disdain. The DPRK and China have different political views, and they stabbed them in the back when they were captured in the Qing Dynasty, and they were so difficult after the death of Duke Lu. Even if it is the hatred of killing one's father and taking one's wife, it shouldn't be like this.

At the end of the day, they are people of two worlds.

On March 5, four knights galloped from the northern official road to Shunde Province.

The Qing captives were not retreated, and the martial law in Beijing was not eliminated, and it took Lu Xiangtong a lot of effort to find an opportunity to get out of the city.

Zhai Zhe personally went to the outskirts of Baoding to greet him.

"Vice General Zhai, where is the master?" As soon as they met, Lu Xiangtong couldn't wait to grab Zhai Zhe's collar.

Zhai Zhe pointed to the southwest, turned around and urged the horse to gallop, leading Lu Xiangsheng's family members to the city of Shunde Mansion.

Lu Xiangtong dismounted, and a few strode to Lu Xiangsheng's coffin, only one sentence: "Master!" And he fainted. It took several family members to wake him up.

After nearly two hours of painful tears, Lu Xiangtong came to Zhai Zhe, knelt down, and said, "Thank you Vice General Zhai for your dedication!" Zhai Zhe hurriedly helped him up and replied, "Duke Lu is my benefactor, and I only did what I had to do." ”

Li Zhi'an, Yuan Qizhou and others came to persuade him, and Lu Xiangtong stopped his grief and prepared to return to Yixing to deliver a letter to his family. A month has passed, and the rumors of Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle have long spread all over the country, but there has not been an official announcement to Yixing's hometown, because the Ministry of War has not confirmed his death.

In early May, the Qing prisoners were discharged.

The Ministry of War finally confirmed Lu Xiangsheng's death, but there was not even a word of commendation. After the martial law in Beijing was lifted, the merchants in Shanxi quickly sent people to inquire about the news, because it was directly related to their financial routes.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi Province, made a pilgrimage to meet Emperor Chongzhen and was appointed as the governor of Jiliao, and Chen Xinjia was the governor of Xuanda.

Shaanxi Governor Sun Chuanting had a big quarrel with Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, the secretary of the military department, because of the main battle, and was blocked from entering Beijing for a meeting. Yang Sichang decided to leave King Qin's Qin soldiers to garrison Jiliao, Sun Chuanting was shocked, and Shang Shu dissuaded him, thinking that it was useless for the Qin soldiers to stay at the border pass, but to let the thieves run rampant. Yang Sichang did not allow it, causing Sun Chuanting to be deaf.

Beijing City in Shunde Mansion is very close, and the news reaches Zhai Zhe's ears little by little.

"Datong General Hu Dawei and Xuanfu General Yang Guozhu were defeated in a bloody battle, and they were not investigated, and Zhai Zhe, the deputy general of Datong, was afraid of the enemy and avoided the war, and was dismissed from his post and served on the border."

Fan Yongdou revealed the provisions prepared by the Ministry of War to Zong Mao, who had rushed to the capital. The Fan family is finally coming back again, Xuanda has changed hands, and without Zhai Zhe, the Mongols will not be able to last long in the grassland. The reason why he revealed the news to Zong Mao was because the Zhai family and the Fan family were in-laws, and no matter how the situation changed, it couldn't change this, not to mention that he was still a little afraid of Zhai Zhe.

Zong Mao quickly whipped up and galloped to report the news outside Shunde City.

Zhai Zhe summoned the generals and informed everyone of the disposition of the imperial court.

"It's a little better than I thought, the military department didn't hold me accountable for the defeat!" Zhai Zhe was not the slightest surprised. From his decision to save Lu Xiangsheng, from the fact that he set up a mourning hall for Lu Xiangsheng with great fanfare, he expected this.

"The military department actually forgave the general soldiers of Datong and Xuanzhen, of course, it is not easy to investigate your crimes." Liu Suifeng was familiar with the Ming officialdom and opened his mouth to explain.

"Now I have nothing, and I will not stop you if you want to leave." Zhai Zhe spread his hands.

"Serve the Commander!" The generals spoke in unison. Xiao Zhiyan took the lead, and Zong Mao, Zuo Ruo, Feng Qin, Meng Kang, Bao Guang, and Che Feng Lian Liu Suifeng all knelt down on one knee in front of Zhai Zhe.

"Follow me, it's a difficult path, no different from a thief. The court will not investigate my crimes, but as long as Yang Sichang is still in the court, I will never come out, and absolutely no governor will dare to use me. ”

"Back then, we all came over like this!" Xiao Zhiyan showed a lazy smile, and he no longer mentioned the matter of relieving Jia and returning to the field.

"We people can live to this day, it is all given by the little brother, and I have never been much interested in such a thing as recruiting an to serve the imperial court!" Meng Kang was the second to make a statement.

"Those mediocre officials of the Ming Dynasty are not even as good as the horse I rode in my eyes!" Zong Mao rarely showed his arrogance in front of Zhai Zhe.

"In Daming, is there a second person who will believe me?" The deliberately embarrassed expression on Che Feng's face made the people in the big tent burst into laughter.

"Serve the Commander!" Bao Guang doesn't have too many flowery words.

"I only believe in the owner of the village!" Feng Qin actually used a name from a long time ago.

"There is no second person in Daming who is worth following!" Zuo Ruo looked up and looked at Zhai Zhe. Zhai Zhe's move to save Lu Xiangsheng has gained far more than he has lost.

"I'm not going to stay here!" Liu Suifeng straightened his face, and the words he said made the big tent instantly quiet, and he quickly smiled and said, "I'm going to Jiangnan, my lord is not the deputy general of Datong, I'm worried about what my brother has in mind." ”

Zhai Zhe's heart was warm, and he stretched out his hand to signal everyone to get up, at least there were these people with him.

"Lu Xiangtong has come to pick up Lu Gong's coffin, and I escorted Lu Gong's coffin to Yixing with the wind. Xuan Dafei is not a place to stay for a long time, I am afraid that someone will find trouble, Zong Mao took my handwritten letter back, let the two ladies move out of Datong Mansion, migrate to Jiangnan, and avoid the limelight there, there is no place in Daming that is more stable than there, I will wait for them in Shangmeng. "The trip to Jiangnan is a trip to seek financial resources, and the business alliance has suddenly become so important that Zhai Zhe must personally go to coordinate the relationship.

"The second lady is pregnant!" Zong Mao only remembered such an important matter, and he was busy for a while.

After Zhai Zhe was pleasantly surprised, he was worried and instructed: "The identity of the second lady is a taboo, and it should be too late to let Ji Hong and Wen Ying escort her out immediately." "I was pregnant before the Spring Festival, and now it is five or six months, and two months to go to Jiangnan is enough.

"Yes!"

"Zuo Ruo has already found a good place, and you will lead the army to hide in the Taihang Mountain. Xiao Zhiyan rode outside to rob wealthy families in various places and raise money and food. Che Feng is responsible for the cottage martial law. When I was away, the matter in the cottage was decided by Zuo Ruo and Feng Qin. As a last resort, Meng Kang is not allowed to go out of the mountain! ”

Zhai Zhe arranged all the things in the army, and when he said the last sentence, his words were harsh. Meng Kang is thirsty for killing, he is no longer uncontrollable, and he has caused a lot of trouble after leaving the mountain.

"Bao Guang selected two hundred shrewd and capable soldiers from the personal guards, and asked Wen Linzhu to bring thirty sailors to accompany me."

"Yes!" The generals in the tent received their own orders.

"I have one more important thing to do before I go!" Zhai Zhe held the saber on his waist.
