After defeating, or rather driving out those Mongol soldiers, under Qin Liangyu's arrangement, the white pole soldiers divided into several teams and began to clear the remnants of the enemy nearby. And Wu Shigong's army, of course, also began to camp and cook.

The connoisseur stretches out his hand to know if there is one. Qin Liangyu and Wu Shigong marched all the way. In fact, she has also been observing Wu Shigong's army. She found that Wu Shigong's army, whether on the march or in camping, was doing a decent job. In particular, the physical fitness of the soldiers and their level of completion of civil engineering made Qin Liangyu, who had traveled all over the country and seen almost all the Ming army, feel that Wu Shigong's army was indeed first-class.

If there is any drawback, it is that this army has relatively little real combat experience. Also, their leader, that stinky boy Wu Shigong, is more afraid of death, he only knows how to defend, and he doesn't know how to take the initiative to attack. This made Qin Liangyu very regretful: "Why is it that the army is not mine, but it is like a flower inserted into Wu Shigong's pile of cow dung?" ”

Therefore, in the battle with the Mongol army, Qin Liangyu was still very relieved to put Wu Shigong's army on the left flank. During the battle, Qin Liangyu observed that Wu Shigong's troops were all lined up in a phalanx and attacked forward. Although the speed of their attack was relatively slow, the actions of these soldiers were well founded.

Qin Liangyu estimated that if his white pole soldiers fought alone with Wu Shigong's army and were defeated by Wu Shigong's army, it would be basically impossible. But if you want to defeat Wu Shigong's army, you will have to pay a considerable price, and even make the white pole soldiers hurt their muscles and bones.

It should be explained here that because Qin Liangyu had not fully understood the effect of the large-scale use of firearms, he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of Wu Shigong's army.

But Qin Liangyu also knew that it was impossible to forcibly incorporate Wu Shigong's army. She observed that the attitude of those soldiers under Wu Shigong towards Wu Shigong was absolute obedience and respect. Therefore, unless Wu Shigong himself was incorporated into his own account, it would be impossible to incorporate these soldiers at all.

But if you want to incorporate Wu Shigong into your own account, it will be even more impossible. Although Wu Shigong is only a small thousand households now, Qin Liangyu now has more than 20 military attachés under his own account and more than 1,000 households. However, the strength of the army mastered by Wu Shigong has greatly exceeded the strength that a thousand households should master.

First of all, the number of Wu Shigong's army reached two thousand people. That's not all. You can look at the weapons and firearms of Wu Shigong's army, and then look at the supply and supply of Wu Shigong's army, and you can see that Wu Shigong's army is quite wealthy. Qin Liangyu asked himself, even if he was the Tusi of Shizhu, he could be said to be the Tudi of Shizhu, but it was quite difficult to support an army like Wu Shigong.

Besides, Wu Shigong is a person in the Yangwu Marquis Mansion after all, and this rotten ship also has three nails, and forcibly using force to absorb Wu Shigong's army is likely to cause the consequences of losing both.

Also, Qin Liangyu also saw that Wu Shigong was not a guy who was willing to live under the people, and if he discussed it with Wu Shigong well, Wu Shigong would definitely not agree to him. Unless you go to the emperor to ask for an edict. But in that case, the twisted melon is not sweet, and it doesn't mean much.

However, since Wu Shigong, the stinky boy, is now in his own hands this time, Qin Liangyu plans to squeeze Wu Shigong's stinky boy well, at least let Wu Shigong make a big contribution to Qin Liangyu in the process of this Qinwang.

If the current Wu Shigong knew Qin Liangyu's thoughts, he would definitely be able to run as far as he could. But at this time, Wu Shigong was happily chatting with his officers.

As the second-in-command of the army, Wu Shigong's deputy, Deputy Qianhu Yu Ji, was patting Wu Shigong's ass: "My lord, thanks to your wisdom!" Along the way, we brought our sons and daughters who returned to Dewei to the capital safely. I also killed two Tartars, and now we will return to Dewei and confess in person! ”

Wu Shigong was very comfortable being slapped by Yu Ji's sycophant, he smiled "haha", but he still said modestly: "Just two Tartars, it's not a big deal." ”

Yu Ji hurriedly replied: "Don't believe it, my lord, it would be good to have a Tartar head if you came to King Qin in the capital this time." We have two heads, not to mention outstanding, then the military skills must be very good. ”

"Oh?" Yu Ji's words aroused Wu Shigong's curiosity, so he killed two Tartars, even if he had outstanding military achievements? When I cut people in my previous life, sometimes I killed more people than two, is this still a war?

Yu Ji's next words answered the question in Wu Shigong's heart. Because the Ming army at this time, because of the previous defeats of the Ming army, it did not dare to fight with the Houjin army at all, and could only passively defend against the attack of the Houjin army in the city.

However, during the defensive battle of the city, even if the Tartar soldiers were killed, it was impossible to go outside the city to collect the Tartar heads, and the imperial court used the heads to determine the military merits, so the two Tartar heads in Wu Shigong's hands now are definitely a rarity.

After understanding the truth, Wu Shigong was even more "haha" daxiao. After laughing, he said: "If we return to Dewei, we should be high-spirited!" Don't go to grab military merits with friendly troops, and be stationed in the capital to protect the emperor's safety with peace of mind! When the crisis in the capital is resolved, we will go home safely. ”

Wu Shigong's words made the officers around him understand that this is to be stationed in the capital, and not take the initiative to fight with the Houjin army.

Wu Shigong's army was stationed peacefully outside the southern city. In the next few days, Wu Shigong's cavalry also cooperated with the white pole soldiers sent by Qin Liangyu to sweep away the Tartar soldiers scattered nearby. It was also a small gain, and I got a few more Tartar heads.

Wu Shigong felt that this Tartar head should be enough, but he still didn't want his military exploits to be too conspicuous in front of Emperor Chongzhen. Therefore, Wu Shigong let his cavalry give up all the Tartar heads he had obtained later to the white pole soldiers. This move has made the relationship between the two armies much more harmonious.

After Qin Liangyu arrived in the capital, he exchanged official documents with the Ministry of War several times. Zuihou, the imperial court acquiesced to Qin Liangyu and Wu Shigong's move to camp outside the southern city. In addition, a batch of grain and grass was hung from the walls of the southern city for these two armies.

On this day, Qin Liangyu convened all the military attaches under his account, including Wu Shigong, to discuss the matter. Qin Liangyu was dressed in military uniform, sat behind the big case and said: "There is an order from the imperial court, and Inspector Sun convened the official meeting in the Tongzhou camp. This officer will rush to Tongzhou tomorrow with Deputy General Ma and will leave for a while. And these days, under the orders of the soldiers, the nearby Tartars have basically been swept away. Keer and the others must not relax, and must ensure the safety of the capital. ”

All the military attachés clasped their fists and promised. Then, Qin Liangyu arranged for another deputy chief soldier of the White Pole Soldier to be in charge of the command of the army after she left.

After Qin Liangyu left with Ma Xianglin, Wu Shigong had a feeling that the sky was high and the birds were flying. Besides, the nearby Tartars were almost wiped out, so on this day, he led a group of officers and some guards under his command to the city walls of the southern city. I want to miss the years when I fought in the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Shigong and the others would definitely not be able to enter the capital, so Wu Shigong walked along the city wall and boasted about his great achievements in the southern city with the officers around him.

Just as Wu Shigong was boasting, a soldier on the city wall suddenly shouted: "Commander Wu!" Is this Commander Wu? ”

Wu Shigong hurriedly raised his head and saw that the person he knew, it was a soldier from the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division. Although the soldiers standing on the city wall were mainly soldiers from the Beijing camp, there were also quite a few soldiers drawn from the Terracotta Division.

Wu Shigong was very happy to meet an acquaintance, and he smiled and waved his hand to the soldier.

After the soldier saw that it was Wu Shigong, he shouted in surprise: "It's really Commander Wu, come and see!" Commander Wu is back! ”

All the soldiers of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division on the city wall, after hearing the shouts of the soldiers, all lay down at the battlements of the city wall and looked at Wu Shigong. Some soldiers from the Beijing camp also looked at Wu Shigong curiously, and asked the soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division around them about Wu Shigong's origin.

For some time, the Tartars have been operating under the city walls, and although the Tartars have not attacked the capital, the soldiers stationed on the city walls are always terrified.

And a few days ago, Qin Liangyu's army finally defeated and drove away those Tartars, and set up a large camp outside the southern city, and these soldiers could finally sleep peacefully. As a result, they were especially enthusiastic about saving their army. Therefore, with Wu Shigong's wave, it attracted a burst of heroic cheers from those soldiers.

Listening to this burst of cheers, Wu Shigong's pores all over his body opened comfortably. This feeling of being a hero is really evocative!

After cheering for a while, a military attache on the city wall suddenly shouted excitedly: "Xun'er, is that you?" Wu Shigong looked at it, it was Zhou Shikun.

Zhou Xun, who was behind Wu Shigong, also jumped off the horse excitedly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Shikun and said, "Dad! It's me. ”

Then a touching scene of father and son meeting was staged. When he arrived at Zuihou, Zhou Shikun shouted to Zhou Xun: "Xun'er, wait a minute, I will send someone to call your mother over." ”

Zhou Shikun's words immediately reminded the officers who originally lived in the capital, and they entrusted the soldiers on the city wall to deliver the message. Of course, someone had already gone to the Yangwu Marquis Mansion to send a message to Xue Lian.

However, while waiting, Zhou Shikun suddenly shouted to Zhou Xun: "Xun'er, your daughter-in-law has been married for more than a year, and you can bring her back when you go back to Henan this time." ”

Wu Shigong, who knows the inside story, of course knows that it is the ugly daughter-in-law who escaped from marriage by Zhou Xun. They looked at Zhou Xun's embarrassment, and they all gloated.
