"We don't have to put all the prisoners back this time," the identification of the prisoners is still ongoing, and in addition to the Ming generals who were killed, some Ming generals were captured. However, this time Xu Ping ordered to absorb those new officers and soldiers who were willing to join into his troops.

This was the first time in the war that an officer of the New Army led the soldiers to voluntarily stop resistance and surrender to Xu Ping, and a rough estimate showed that these soldiers who thought that the camp was more promising were in the thousands: "Our troops suffered heavy casualties, and if we had to train them all, we would have to consume a lot of gunpowder and a lot of time. ”

Xu Ping had already informed Li Zicheng of his victory, and he planned to quickly return to Kaifeng and then cross the Yellow River to attack Beijing, without giving Zhendonghou more time to rebuild his troops. Therefore, Xu Ping needs to replenish himself quickly, and he does not worry about the problem of military morale - as long as he takes Beijing, Xu Ping feels that it is enough to prove that it is the destiny of heaven.

Ming prisoners of war who were unwilling to surrender would still be released, and Xu Ping believed that the Marquis of Zhendong did not have much time to reintegrate these prisoners into the new army, and these officers and soldiers who had surrendered once were likely to surrender to Xu Ping again if they encountered the camp again in a short period of time, and might even affect other New Army units. The bodies of the fallen generals of the Ming army will also be handed over to them to take away. Huang Xiwen, the second son of the Marquis of Zhendong, was knocked unconscious while leading the army to counterattack, this prisoner was very important, Yu Gong, Xu Ping would release him together so as not to provoke the distrust of the ordinary officers and soldiers of the new army; Yu Private, he did not intend to kill the son of Zhendong Hou.

"Where was General Huang injured?" Xu Ping asked.

"No injuries," Chen Zhe pouted, the doctor didn't find any external injuries to Huang Xiwen, thinking that he had fainted in the fierce battle: "Scared, hum, it's really embarrassing for Huang Hou." ”

"Please come to my camp." Xu Ping ordered.

Huang Xiwen was still holding his head high when he was brought in, and Xu Ping had told him not to tie him up, so the herald had untied the ropes on his body before he came. There was still a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen, and with every step Huang Xiwen took, he felt a heart-rending pain in the parts that had just been hit hard, but he still maintained his usual posture, did not show any abnormality, and did not tell the military doctor who broke into the camp that he was unwell.

"Huang Xiaohou Ye," after seeing Huang Xiwen, Xu Ping said in front of the heart of a tent: "I and Ling Zun are public enemies rather than private hatreds......

Xu Ping had no desire to humiliate Huang Xiwen, so he planned to say two words about the people's poor livelihood, and then release him as a matter of course, he felt that this was a safer way, and would not let the other party feel that it was a contempt to let him go.

"Phew!" Huang Xiwen interrupted Xu Ping's statement: "You and my family are a public feud? ”

Xu Ping was slightly stunned, a little unable to believe his ears, he thought that some private matters were something that Zhendong Hou would not say to his family, after a slight pause, Xu Ping said again: "Huang Xiaohou, this time I won by luck......"

Huang Xiwen was silent, and Xu Ping told him that he would not embarrass the captured new officers and soldiers, and that their bodies would be handed over to him to take back with him if Huang Xiwen was willing.

On the way here, Huang Xiwen saw a large number of corpses of fallen soldiers who had not had time to clean up, he knew that there were countless colleagues killed in the battle this time, after hearing Wu Zhong's name from Xu Ping's mouth, Huang Xiwen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he forgot that the two of them had been unpleasant in recent years, but the scene of his childhood flashed in front of him, and he shouted bitterly: "Brother Wu!" ”

"Xu Ping!" Huang Xiwen jumped up and rushed towards Xu Ping in front of him: "You wolf-hearted scum." ”

Before Huang Xiwen approached Xu Ping, he was caught by Xu Ping's guards, but Huang Xiwen struggled with his own strength, and the hatred and anger in his eyes erupted: "Shameless man who has lost his conscience, you have been lucky from beginning to end, all by stealing my father's military book, and what do you say is not a personal vendetta, are you a man who betrays the court for a woman?" ”

Seeing that Huang Xiwen was already unconscious, several people who knew the inside story frowned, and these words fell into Xu Ping's ears, making his face suddenly pale, but he didn't dare to show anything abnormal on his face, and barely kept his expression still, waving his hand to order the guards to pull Huang Xiwen down.

"Do your subordinates know that you are such a wicked man? Even among the thieves, do you dare to explain your filthy deeds to your subordinates? I only heard Huang Xiwen scold angrily again: "If this matter is in the open day, see who else will not laugh at you." ”

The surrounding officers and soldiers all couldn't hear it clearly, and their faces were full of inexplicable expressions.

Seeing this, Yu Shenhe and Shen Yunchong hurriedly rushed from Xu Ping's left and right, and shouted at Huang Xiwen in unison: "General Huang Xiao is cautious!" ”

Huang Xiwen stared at Yu Shenhe for a while, then turned his head to look at Shen Yunchong, and asked, "Have you also served in the new army?" ”

Yu Shenhe and Shen Yunchong were silent, Huang Xiwen grinned, his face full of grief and incredulity, and asked: "Then why did you betray the imperial court, why did you betray my father, and why did you help Xu thief kill the brothers of the new army?" ”

Yu Shenhe and Shen Yunchong still didn't answer, and Huang Xiwen suddenly laughed again: "I think of it, several of you are Xu Ping's cronies, is it that you and he both covet my father's military book, so you encourage him to go to the camp to steal books." ”

Chen Zhe and the others beside Xu Ping who heard this all had different expressions on their faces, and Li Dingguo and Chi Shude also looked at Xu Ping, and their faces were puzzled.

"Shut up!"

Yu Shenhe was furious, and he was about to hit Huang Xiwen with his fist.

"Stop." Xu Ping shouted behind Yu Shenhe.

Yu Shenhe turned around when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "My lord." ”

"Everyone else will stand down first." Xu Ping ordered again in an unquestionable tone, so that other uninformed people would withdraw from the camp, seeing that Xu Ping's face had become extremely ugly, Zhou Dongtian hurriedly persuaded: "My lord—"

Xu Ping raised his hand to stop Zhou Dongtian's words: "Gu Meng left you to guard the door, don't let the idlers get close to the tent door, Yu Shenhe, Shen Yunchong, you let him go." ”

Yu Shenhe and Shen Yunchong let go and pushed Huang Xiwen forward at the same time, Huang Xiwen was already calmer at this time, he staggered to his feet, sneered softly, and looked at Xu Ping fearlessly.

"If this matter spreads, will it be good for the reputation of Ling Zun and Your Excellency?" Xu Ping said in a low voice: "Let's talk about me and ...... and Ling Mei is innocent. ”

"It's really an ugly thing," Huang Xiwen seemed to choke up, and he said in a deep voice: "But I don't believe that hundreds of thousands of thieves are all people who have nothing to do with right and wrong, if you had let your despicable deeds of this thief be exposed, maybe so many people would not have died." ”

"It's just that there is no broken book from your father," Yu Shenhe felt that he gradually understood the reason, and he exclaimed, "Can't we beat you?" ”

"Of course," Huang Xiwen retorted, "Otherwise, how could you despicable and shameless people pick up this little white face to steal?" ”

"You dog's mouth!" Yu Shenhe and Zhou Dongtian were furious.

"Master Huang Xiaohou," Xu Ping felt his arm tremble angrily, he shook his head and said, "This thing is not what you think, but it is not good for anyone to say it." ”

Huang Xiwen looked directly into Xu Ping's eyes, spread his legs, raised his arms flat, posed his body into a "big" character, raised his chin slightly, and said contemptuously: "If you want to kill people, just do it, otherwise you will wait for your reputation to be ruined." ”

Xu Ping stared at Huang Xiwen for a moment, felt that his arm had stopped shaking, and said coldly: "I am different from Ling Zun, I will never kill prisoners, it is useless for Huang Xiaohou to be so aggressive." ”

After speaking, Xu Ping asked Yu Shenhe to take Huang Xiwen out.

"Wait a minute." Huang Xiwen shouted to Xu Ping: "General Xu, the last general wants to fight with you." ”

"The general of the defeated army," Yu Shenhe snorted: "You are embarrassed to say this." ”

"It's not because of the war, but for my sister," Huang Xiwen looked at Xu Ping, and a sneer flowed from the corner of his mouth: "General Xu doesn't dare, right?" ”

Yu Shenhe and the others suddenly became silent, Xu Ping glanced at Huang Xiwen, turned around and walked back to his table: "Huang Xiaohou, you were born in Jiangmen, and you fight with a civilian child like me, isn't that a deliberate bully?" ”

"I know that you are a gutless rat, a little white face without a seed," Huang Xiwen sneered, and glanced at the other people in the camp tent Li with his eyes: "You were all officers of the New Army, I challenge you together, although you come up with a sword, I am barehanded, do you dare?" ”

Knowing that Huang Xiwen was intent on death, several other people were silent, and Yu Shenhe stepped forward to push him out.

"Sure enough, it's a bunch of unsightly rats." Huang Xiwen scolded again.

"Yu Shenhe, give him your sword." As he spoke, Xu Ping untied the cloak he was tied to, threw it on his desk casually, then took off the felt hat and cloak and put them together, turned to face Huang Xiwen, raised his right hand lightly, pulled out the saber and held it in his hand.

Yu Shenhe stopped and turned his head to look at Xu Ping: "My lord? ”

Xu Ping held his sword and stood motionless a few steps away from Huang Xiwen, who looked at him with a frown.

"Your Excellency?" Yu Shenhe made another inquiry, Xu Ping nodded heavily, Yu Shenhe paused, and finally drew his sword and threw it at Huang Xiwen's feet.

Huang Xiwen opened his arms and maintained that posture of suffering, looked down at the sword in front of his feet, and then raised his head to look at Xu Ping: "What does this mean?" ”

"Aren't you going to fight me with a sword?" Xu Ping said calmly: "Don't you dare to fight? ”

"You!?" Huang Xiwen snorted, and had no intention of picking up the sword at all: "You can't even beat a woman, what kind of hero are you pretending to be in front of me?" ”

"A person who can't even beat a woman, don't you dare to do it?" Xu Ping asked coldly: "Or do you know that I won't kill prisoners, so you dare to insult me unscrupulously?" Insulting my subordinates? ”

Hearing Xu Ping's words, the mocking smile on Huang Xiwen's face gradually faded, and anger erupted in his eyes, he folded his arms and looked around, seeing that Yu Shenhe and the others had already retreated far away to the tent, and had no intention of interfering. Huang Xiwen pursed his lips, leaned over and touched the hilt of the sword, held it tightly in his hand, and said softly: "My sister is the kindest girl in the world, and the most unfortunate thing for her is to meet you." ”

After speaking, Huang Xiwen jumped up slightly, took two steps back, and Xu Pingyao looked at each other from afar, the two looked at each other for a moment, Huang Xiwen leaned forward, swung his sword and stabbed at him, Xu Ping raised his sword to open the blow, and then took half a step back to block up and down, and pushed Huang Xiwen's stormy continuous stabbing away one after another. After blocking five or six stabs in a row, Xu Ping grabbed a flaw in his opponent, stepped forward and stabbed a sword.

Huang Xiwen didn't have time to parry, his body turned sideways to get out of the way, Xu Ping's sword slashed past his waist, Huang Xiwen took a sharp step back before dodging, and swung two swords in a row to force back the pursuing Xu Ping. After the two of them pulled out the distance, Huang Xiwen stared at Xu Ping vigilantly, took the time to quickly look down at his abdomen, and saw that the military uniform had been cut a big gap, if it wasn't for the dodge just now, the sword would have seriously injured himself even if he didn't cut his abdomen horizontally.

"Good, good!" Huang Xiwen was furious, and with a wave of his sword, he pounced on the attack, he put away Fang Cai's contempt, and stared at the opponent's figure and pace intently, looking for an opportunity to defeat the enemy. The two swords pierced back and forth, colliding in the air from time to time with a clashing sound.

Xu Ping's subordinates all leaned against the tent with their backs, all with solemn faces, holding their breath to watch the life-and-death struggle between the two people.

Huang Xiwen found an opportunity to take advantage of Xu Ping's lack of time to retract his sword and stabbed his undefensible armpit, but the blow was dodged by the opponent and only cut through the opponent's arm. At the same time, Xu Ping's counterattacking sword stabbed directly into Huang Xiwen's ribs, Huang Xiwen twisted his waist to avoid this sword, and instinctively swung down the sword, brushing the opponent's hurriedly retracting forearm, almost cutting it off.

Taking advantage of Xu Ping's opportunity to jump two steps, Huang Xiwen also adjusted his pace, just now in order to avoid the sword, his body lost his balance, stumbled and almost fell.

In addition to sword competitions with his brother and other relatives and friends of the same generation, Huang Xiwen had fought with the enemy on the battlefield several times, and he was surprised to find that the opponent he encountered this time was the most proficient in swordsmanship - it turned out that Xu Ping was so deeply hidden.

"Great, but he's no match for me." Huang Xiwen saw that the person on the opposite side quickly set up a shelf, held the sword and jumped lightly and rushed over.

At this time, several people who were watching the battle by the camp tent had more and more melancholy on their faces, Zhou Dongtian and the others pressed the hilt of their swords, Shen Yuncong pulled out the saber even more, and Yu Shenhe continued to pay attention to the competition, while his eyes wandered around, looking for a suitable weapon.

One sword after another, Huang Xiwen stabbed the air with two consecutive swords, and the person on the opposite side retreated rapidly, retreating faster and faster, so that even if his third sword straightened his arm, he couldn't reach the corner of the opponent's clothes.

Huang Xiwen was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but suddenly his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground on one knee, he hurriedly supported the ground with his hand, and at the same time swung a sword to prevent the opponent from attacking. Fortunately, the opponent who retreated too far failed to rush over in time to attack, but Huang Xiwen couldn't stand up with this support, he was surprised, and slammed it again, but still didn't stand up, his right leg seemed to suddenly lose feeling, and his body involuntarily tilted to the ground, and Huang Xiwen's hand holding the sword was also pressed on the ground to not let the body regain balance.

The opponent still did not attack, but stood in place and looked at himself condescendingly, and even the sword in the opponent's hand began to point to the ground, just now Huang Xiwen did not feel the pain in his chest and abdomen for a while, but now this feeling is overwhelming. His chest contracted for a while, Huang Xiwen felt that he had begun to suffocate, and then his head drooped, and a mouthful of hot blood spurted to the ground.

As this mouthful of blood spit out, Huang Xiwen felt the suffocation in his chest disappear slightly, as if a trace of cool air immediately penetrated in.

The sword had been thrown to the ground, his eyes were blackened, and his head was also dizzy, and it took a long time for Huang Xiwen to feel that he could start to breathe again, but he was still lying on the ground and couldn't speak.

"It turns out that Huang Xiaohou Ye is so seriously injured."

Xu Ping walked to Huang Xiwen's side, and the sword in his hand was already hanging to the ground.

"Original...... Originally...... You are also a master of swordsmanship......" Huang Xiwen lay on the ground, struggling to say this.

The onlookers no longer stood still, Yu Shenhe took two quick steps forward, leaned down, and retrieved his sword from Huang Xiwen's side.

"Help Huang Xiaohou go out and hand it over to the military doctor to take care of." Xu Ping noticed the expressions on the faces of several people around him, but instead of explaining, he put his sword into the sheath, ripped off his military uniform, and observed several of his wounds.

Shen Yunchong walked to Xu Ping's side, saw that blood kept oozing from between the fingers that pressed the wound, and shouted loudly: "Come on, call the military doctor." ”

After shouting, Shen Yunchong asked softly, "My lord, is it necessary?" ”

Xu Ping knew that Shen Yunchong was not just asking about this duel, in the past two years, Xu Ping practiced swordsmanship and equestrianism every day as long as he was free, and during the siege of Kaifeng, he practiced for a day, from getting up to the end of sleeping, rain or shine. Shen Yunchong and others have asked this question more than once, and when he was teaching the team before, Xu Ping had told his classmates more than once: There is no need for a general to practice this.

"Maybe one day, I'll meet Jin Shentong in a narrow way. Anything can happen on the battlefield, maybe we will face each other, and there will be few guards around us. ”

This is Xu Ping's explanation of why he wants to practice swords, he remembers that Huang Zijun once commented that Jin Shentong's equestrian and swordsmanship are unmatched in the new army, and among the people she has seen, only her eldest brother is slightly better, and Huang Zijun also said that her second brother's swordsmanship is also very good, which is not much different from Jin Shentong.

"My lord, General Huang Xiao, he is practicing Tongzi Gong," now Yu Shenhe remembered the situation when Xu Ping was in distress several times during the sword fight just now, and he was still a little afraid, Huang Xiwen has been practicing diligently since he was a child, and Xu Ping is a monk halfway no matter how hard he tries: "My lord, you are too risky!" ”

"I thought I would be able to catch up with me if I studied hard." Xu Ping held his injuries hard, the few times just now could be called dangerous, and the slightest negligence would break his limbs and arms.

"My lord, he is a boy and a first-class swordsman in the world." Yu Shenhe rejoiced: "Fortunately, he is injured, it's okay, it's okay." ”
