Chapter 43: After the War, Before the War
After Zuo Houde returned to the city, Li Anguo and others blamed his subordinates for showing mercy, but they also failed to punish him.
In the final analysis, Zuo Houde has won, which can be regarded as a meritorious service, even if his subordinates are merciful to Lu Xiaoxian, they are not at fault, and then Li Anguo will rely on Zuo Houde, and it will not have any impact on him.
Returning to his big tent, Zuo Houde began to think that he was a little emotional about Lu Xiaoxian's mercy.
However, Zuo Houde doesn't regret it, after all, even after considering the gains and losses, Zuo Houde will still show mercy to Lu Xiaoxian's subordinates.
After all, after killing Lu Xiaoxian, the benefits that Zuo Houde can get are only a big credit, but even with Zuo Houde's current merits, this is almost useless to Zuo Houde, and he can't let Zuo Houde be promoted to the first rank, if it is only a second-grade military rank, Zuo Houde is enough for now.
If you want to be promoted to the first grade, Zuo Houde still has poor qualifications, and the difference is too far. Even making this contribution will seem inappropriate, not to mention "high merit and shocking the master", but after all, Zuo Houde is not yet thirty, and his age and his military exploits will make the emperor feel inappropriate.
Secondly, if Lu Xiaoxian is killed, it may also make some people in the army happy, after all, Lu Xiaoxian killed many generals in the army before.
If you don't kill, it's just some gossip, and it doesn't pose a threat to Zuo Houde. As long as Zuo Houde is not a general in commanding the army, the last thing Zuo Houde is afraid of is gossip.
But if you don't kill Lu Xiaoxian, Zuo Houde will get a lot, first of all, he will return the favor of Lu Xiaoxian yesterday, and secondly, Zuo Houde hopes that the competition with Lu Xiaoxian can become a classic battle and spread to future generations. It's enough to make Zuo Houde's luck open!
Of course, the above are purely from the perspective of interests, at that time archery was only a moment, Zuo Houde could not think of so much, at that time the mercy was nothing more than three words "reluctant", there are very few people in this world who make Zuo Houde worry except for his parents, wife and children, the only confidant in the past and present life, Zuo Houde is reluctant to kill.
"Will Boya be willing to kill his son?" Zuo Houde muttered.
……
In the Daming military camp, Lu Xiaoxian sat alone in the military tent and silently wiped the sword in his hand. Unconsciously, Lu Xiao first thought of Zuo Houde's hand today.
In fact, after returning to the camp today, Lu Xiaoxian felt that he was too impulsive, after all, he was the chief general of the first army, if he shot at Zuo Houde today, Zuo Houde showed no mercy, and he would die.
Lu Xiaoxian is not afraid of death, and even he thinks that dying on the battlefield is the fate that a man should have, but it doesn't matter if he dies, but the commander of an army is about 200,000 soldiers in the army, and he is simply irresponsible for these 200,000 robes.
Lu Xiaoxian still has the heavy responsibility that the Ming Emperor has on him, if something goes wrong, Lu Xiaoxian doesn't know how to face Han Tingzhi at all.
However, thinking of Zuo Houde's stay today, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but feel a little more relieved.
couldn't help but put down the sword in his hand, picked up Yu Xiao, and from time to time a melodious voice came out of the military tent, the voice was first mild and then became cold after a while.
After a long time, Xiao Sheng stopped, and a sigh came out of Lu Xiaoxian's mouth: "It's a pity! Pity! ”
……
At this time, Zuo Houde was dancing with a sword, and after sweating profusely, Zuo Houde stopped.
This time Dayan wants to attack Nanming, and it will not stop in Dingcheng, before it was Lu Xiaoxian who made the army disheartened and had to be trapped in Dingcheng, but after Zuo Houde and Lu Xiaoxian fought first, the morale was higher day by day, and it was no surprise that there would be another big battle next.
Zuo Houde will inevitably fight against Lu Xiaoxian later, after all, Zuo Houde is the only person in the army who can fight with Lu Xiaoxian, and Zuo Houde must also be prepared.
Next, Lu Xiaoxian will not show mercy, and Zuo Houde will do the same. After all, it is a battle between the two armies, and it is difficult to show mercy on the battlefield.
Of course, Zuo Houde also made up his mind, if the Ming army was defeated, Zuo Houde would definitely try his best to protect Lu Xiaoxian's life.

Zuo Houde looked at his golden finger again, the others have not changed in the past few days, but the luck value is getting higher and higher day by day, and I think Zuo Houde's reputation has spread.
After falling asleep all night, Zuo Houde had already gotten up before it was dark, and Zuo Houde picked up his spear and practiced.
Since Zuo Houde arrived in Zhuo County, this sword practice every morning has become gun practice, and it is mainly a sword practice that has been practiced for more than 20 years, and Zuo Houde's swordsmanship has reached a bottleneck early. Zuo Houde had no choice but to spend more time on spearmanship, as Lu Xiaoxian said, his spearmanship was not as good as swordsmanship.
After breakfast, Zuo Houde went to Li Anguo's military tent.
"General Zuo is here!" Li Anguo looked at Zuo Houde with a smile on his face.
Zuo Houde clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen General Li." ”
Li Anguo sat in the center of the tent, looked around at the generals present, and said: "It's been a month since the army went out, and we have done nothing except take Mobei City. What we do next, we have to have a discussion! ”
"General, it seems that the last general will fight with Lu Xiaoxian's northern army next, so that we can march with peace of mind!" A yellow-faced man stood up and said.
"Everyone knows that they have to fight with the Northern Army, but how to fight is the problem?" A white-haired veteran glanced at the yellow-faced man before him and said angrily.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe stood up and said to Li Anguo: "General, our army is 200,000, and the enemy army is also 200,000, which is considered to be the same number, but the advantage of my Youzhou army is still iron cavalry, although the army of the Ming Dynasty has cavalry, but the number is far less than ours, we might as well send iron cavalry to charge the battle, we will definitely be able to break the enemy!" ”
Li Anguo frowned and said: "Nanming is not without elite cavalry, the enemy army is 200,000, although there are not many cavalry, there are 40,000, not to mention that they are all elites like euphorbia, and they should not be underestimated!" ”
At this time, a veteran general stood up: "General, even if this northern army is difficult to fight, but we must fight, the last general seems to have sent iron cavalry to charge, foot soldiers to suppress the formation, and strangle with all their might, even if there are many casualties, we must break through this defense line of Nanming!" ”
As soon as he was said like this, Li Anguo no longer hesitated, and immediately said: "In the near future, there will be a battle!" Generals go back and prepare! ”
After a while, Zuo Houde, who was left by Li Anguo, said to him: "General Zuo, I still want you to lead the army to charge, but you must not be merciful!" ”
Zuo Houde stood up straight, hugged his fists and said: "The last general has returned the grace of Lu Xiaoxian's sword, the two armies are fighting, and the last general will definitely kill the enemy with all his might!" ”
Li Anguo nodded with satisfaction and sent Zuo Houde out.
