Jiang Ruoxu's letter was sent to Nanjing, and this letter repeatedly comforted Han Tingzhi and told him about the stakes, so that Han Tingzhi let go of his plan to leave these Yan troops.

After Han Tingzhi read the letter, he summoned Lu Xiaoxian: "Xiaoxian, these Yan troops can't be killed yet, and we are not ready to start a war with Yan State." ”

Lu Xiao arched his hand first, and asked with some doubts: "Just let them go like this?" ”

Han Tingzhi showed a big smile and said, "Naturally not, you continue to surround them, I believe that Pei Ju will discuss it with the envoy of the Yan Kingdom and let the Yan Kingdom have some blood!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Xiao also smiled slightly.

……

Gangneung

"Messenger, we can't put back the encircled Yan army." Pei Ju stared at the eyes of the Yan envoy and said lightly.

The envoy was still a little frightened when he was stared at like this, but then he said eagerly: "Why, our two countries are still allies. ”

Pei Ju said lightly: "Those Yan troops burned and looted in the city before, and committed a lot of crimes, so we can't let them go." ”

The envoy was stunned, he didn't know if it was true or not, burning, killing and looting was indeed the tradition of the Yan army, after all, most of the Yan army dealt with the grassland people before.

But the man could not fail to save him, so the messenger said, "Is there a way to make amends?" ”

Pei Ju showed a smile and said, "It can be solved, Yan Jun needs to compensate some finances to comfort the suffering deceased." ”

The messenger was overjoyed that it could be solved, so he said, "I don't know how much compensation is needed?" ”

Pei Ju looked at the envoy and said, "You only need the Yan army in the city to leave your weapons, armor, and horses!" ”

The messenger was astonished: "That's too much! ”

The 150,000 Yan troops in the city, most of them are still cavalry, and there are 100,000 war horses alone, plus others, it is really an astonishing number.

Pei Ju looked at the envoy, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and said threateningly: "But if we leave these Yan troops, these will be ours." ”

The messenger did not dare to say any more, but hurried and wrote back to inform his majesty.

……

Youzhou City, in the Imperial Palace.

Hong Zaixing looked at the letter in front of him, which wrote the conversation between Pei Ju and the envoy at that time.

Especially after seeing Pei Ju's threat, Hong Zaixing was also a little silent, and finally said: "Give it to him!" ”

It was not until the 150,000 troops in the city left behind their weapons, armor, and horses that they were released from the encirclement, and the group returned to Dayan under the guidance of the army sent after Dayan.

Da Ming was very happy, and got more than 100,000 war horses for nothing, and others.

……

Dingcheng, left thick German military tent.

Zuo Houde also got the latest military information and knew what was going on.

Especially knowing the fate of the army that went to attack Liang State, Zuo Houde couldn't help but feel a little lucky, he didn't want to be surrounded by an encirclement, and in the end, he had to leave weapons, armor, war horses, etc. to escape back.

Of course, in Zuo Houde's view, in this war, it can be said that Dayan did not take advantage, and originally defeated Mobei City and Haocheng, but Haocheng was taken back by Lu Xiaoxian with his troops, and Mobei City was given up by Hong Zaixing when he formed an alliance.

On the contrary, it was the Ming Dynasty, which not only obtained the armament of 150,000 people from Dayan, but also swallowed the Liang State in one bite, and now it is a unified south.

Now the situation in the world is more obvious, Dayan and Daming, one north and one south. Who can dominate the world, Zuo Houde doesn't know.

Since ancient times, there has never been a unified world from the south, so it seems that Dayan has a greater advantage, but Zuo Houde is also very hesitant, because from the perspective of this war, Hong Zaixing does not seem to be as good as Zuo Houde thinks, and Han Tingzhi is better than Zuo Houde imagined.

Zuo Houde, who grew up in Youzhou since he was a child, never doubted whether Dayan could dominate the world, especially Hong Taibao, who was powerful and Beidi, and King Yan, who recovered Yanyun, until Hou, the champion of the three armies.

The accumulation of three generations is too deep, especially Zuo Houde easily laid down Qingzhou, and later unified the north, Zuo Houde was full of confidence in Dayan's domination of the world.

But now Zuo Houde is a little skeptical, who can dominate the world?

Of course, maybe this war was just an accident, Zuo Houde thought too much.

However, Zuo Houde does not plan to hand over the future to others, if Daming wins in the future, even if Lu Xiaoxian can save his life, but his years of hard work will not be in vain.

Zuo Houde intends to do one thing - centralize power. Right! Zuo Houde wants to centralize military power,

Zuo Houde never thought of holding power tightly in his own hands before, considering his age and merits, Zuo Houde has always avoided high merit and shocked the master, and even put all the power down in Zhuo County.

But now Zuo Houde has doubts about whether Dayan can unify the world, Zuo Houde decided to control his own life, even if Han Tingzhi really created a miracle of pacifying the north from the south in the future, as long as he holds the military power in his hands, he has room to operate.

……

In the end, this war that carried out the north and south ended with the Ming Dynasty unifying the south, the Great Liang surrendered, the country was destroyed, and the Great Yan withdrew to the north.

Zuo Houde did not return to Youzhou, because he was appointed, as the only Zuo Houde who made meritorious contributions in this war, Zuo Houde's reward came down.

"General Yang Wei takes the order!" A eunuch who had delivered a decree came to Dingcheng.

"The minister takes the order!" Zuo Houde bowed.

The eunuch began to announce the decree: "Yang Wei General Zuo Houde, first break Hao City, and then break Mobei City, and fight General Lu Xiao first to boost the morale of our army!" He was named the general of Pingdong, guarded the Dingcheng, and gave Ming Guangjia, 10,000 taels of silver, and 3,000 hectares of land. ”

Zuo Houde smiled, thanksgiving.

"Thank you, father-in-law." As he spoke, Zuo Houde stuffed a piece of gold to the old eunuch.

The old eunuch was overjoyed: "Miscellaneous family, thank you General Pingdong." ”

After sending the eunuch away, Zuo Houde's face darkened.

Now Zuo Houde's impression of Hong Zaixing is a little worse, Zuo Houde broke Haocheng, Mobei City, and fought Lu Xiaoxian, these achievements add up to more than enough for the second grade, but he is now only a third-grade Pingdong general, obviously Hong Zaixing wants to suppress himself.

Of course, if it hadn't gone through this battle, Dayan's domination of the world would be in front of him, and Zuo Houde could only endure it.

But after this battle, in the face of Dayan, who is uncertain about the future, and Hong Zaixing, who does not distinguish between rewards and punishments, Zuo Houde intends to firmly grasp the power in his hands in order to grasp his future.

Of course, the seizure of power starts from Dingcheng, which is also the best place, before Zuo Houde first broke Haocheng here overnight, two arrows to Mobei, three battles against Lu Xiaoxian, and other deeds are spread in Dingcheng.

Zuo Houde's prestige can be said to be no matter where it is, it is not greater than the Dingcheng soldiers who watched Zuo Houde fight Lu Xiaoxian three times, and in the hearts of Dingcheng soldiers, Zuo Houde is the first in the world.
