When the light rain gradually fell, Rou'er rolled on the kang and fell asleep, Liu Meibao fanned her while looking at a letter and couldn't help laughing.

"Erlang wrote again?" Guiziniang came in, took the fan in her hand, looked at her smiling face and asked in a low voice, "When did you come back?" ”

Liu Meibao shook her head.

"This is written by the eldest sister-in-law in my capital." She said, smiling again, "Write to scold me." ”

"Scolding you and laughing!" Guiziniang said with a smile, looking at Rou'er's fat mouth and muttering bubbles.

"Sometimes swearing is more reassuring than laughing." Liu Meibao smiled, put the letter aside, and asked someone to call someone from the family clerk's room to come over.

"You probably show them that they should sit well and live a good life, don't think about those who have and don't, I'm not as bad as them, but I can't let anyone spoil the stable life of my family, the old lady and the eldest man have also arranged good things for me, eat and drink well, serve well, let them rest assured, come and see if you want to see me, write a letter if you want to, don't think about me like a cannibalistic black mountain demon." Liu Meibao said.

The clerk smiled and nodded, and then took it away.

"I'm looking at the child, you go lie down for a while." Guizi Niang whispered.

Now Liu Meibao is still only sleeping in the medicine room, she nodded, got up and walked out of the house, took the umbrella from the mother-in-law waiting under the porch and slowly walked through the porch towards the medicine room.

The medicine room is still a medicine room, but it is not the same as before, a large bed is installed, and the things in the room are neatly arranged, making the originally small room not so cramped.

Liu Meibao sat down in front of the bed, pulled a small box from the pillow and opened it, inside was neatly packed letters, with the sound of the rain outside the window, she picked up one of them and looked slowly.

"Vulnerable!"

Fu Laosan put down the waist knife in his hand a little bored, and from his side, countless people and horses were running in front of him.

"My lord," a soldier asked. "To chase or not to chase?"

Fu Laosan snorted and pulled the knife in his hand into a flower.

"Chase." He lowered his head and spat and said loudly.

With an order, the iron hooves rolled over the scattered corpses on the ground and the weapons headed west.

The news soon spread to the camp in the rear.

"Tell them to gather their troops and stand by." Chen Qing frowned and said to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan looked at the map in front of him casually.

"You must know that these people are different from the Tartars, they are obviously luring the enemy, and they must not venture into the trap, they are the best at ambushes, don't rely on the ferocity of your soldiers, and beat the Tartars. I thought the world was invincible. Chen Qing snorted.

"Those who ambushed are still these Li thieves, right?" Lu Yan asked.

This is not nonsense! Chen Qing glared at him.

"What's wrong with that?" Lu Yan also glared at him, "Whether it's an ambush or an ambush, just hit him." ”

"Do you think the Li thief is really just a thief?" Chen Qing's face was a little pale, "Every time the striker is indeed a homeless and hungry person, but his real old battalion elite soldiers are in the rear, which is why every time he can escape in time and quickly turn around and rise again, in the past five or six years, those who have followed him so far are all battle-hardened and fierce, Lu Yan, you haven't fought with them..."

Lu Yan laughed.

"Chen Qing. You didn't fight me. "This time you see it with your own eyes." Let Li Thief see with his own eyes how my Lu Yan's soldiers are. ”

The sound of fighting seemed to be rolling from the sky like thunder.

"Big brother." A middle-aged man staggered into the back of the low slope, where a makeshift tent was set up, and four or five people were sitting or standing, all wearing hoods.

"Little Master Li, this soldier surnamed Lu is really difficult to deal with!" The man said loudly.

"Fourth, how can you grow the ambition of others before the battle!" An older man said with a frown.

"Second brother. It's not that I'm angry with him, it's that other people are fucking angry." The previous man blushed and said, stretching out his hand and pointing outward. "The soldiers and horses from Shanxi are really different from other people's, not to mention how fierce they are, just that person in iron armor is very scary, damn, I heard that this Shanxi soldier is rich, I didn't think it was so rich, even a small foot soldier is wearing iron armor....."

A man sitting in the center snorted, a little younger than the men, dressed in a coarse cloth garment and holding a long knife in his hand.

"Of course there is money, and we have the credit for this money." He said with a gloomy face, "If this kid hadn't borrowed our strength to win those wealthy families in Hedong, where would he have his wealth!" ”

As he said this, he plunged the long knife in his hand into the ground.

"This damn King Luyan!" He scolded, suddenly thinking of something, his face changed greatly, "Quick, let the brothers withdraw." ”

Everyone was a little stunned by his sudden words.

"Little Master Li, even if he is powerful, we don't need to run away without a fight, right?" Several men frowned and said.

"No, this sentry under King Lu Yan is extremely powerful, we were chased everywhere when we held his wife and children hostage, otherwise there would not have been such an accident, and the woman and child ran away from under their noses..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed color, and the sound of rolling fighting was approaching at this time.

At the end of July of the fourth year of Yongzhen, Shanxi Qinwang's army broke the soldiers and horses of the old camp of Li Thief, and killed many Li Thief cadres on the spot, including Li Changsan's brother-in-law and cousin.

The emperor of the capital had a great appetite for three consecutive days because of this news, but this was not over yet, and soon Lu Yan's soldiers and horses met Li Changsan head-on.

This is the first time for Li Changsan, who has never let the officers and soldiers see his face clearly since the unveiling of the rod, of course, this time it is not that he broke the precedent for the Shanxi soldiers, but that he has never gotten rid of the pursuit of the Shanxi soldiers.

It seemed that in an instant, with the sound of gongs and drums, countless crowds of people appeared all over the sky, holding spears and knives.

The shouts of killing, and the faint sound of horses' hooves shaking the ground behind them, were terrifying.

Lu Yan stood in the middle of the army, looking at the encircled crowd without the slightest expression, and then looking at the soldiers around him, either with indifferent expressions, or flashing with bloodthirsty excitement, without the slightest fear and panic in the face of the sea of people who could trample them to death by suddenly being ambushed.

In the queue led by Zhang Shun, Wang Gouyu clenched the spear in his hand. Because of the excitement, the body trembled slightly, but it was not scary, but happy.

He couldn't help but look at Zhang Shun who was standing at the front of the queue, the young man who was much younger than himself was already the official position of President Qian, I heard that when this Zhang Shun followed the adults, he was just a handyman who could be scared and cry when he rode a horse.

I'll have that day. Wang Gouyu looked at the iron armor he was wearing that represented the most ordinary soldiers, and then looked at the iron armor of the chief in the queue, looking at them one by one, the generals who were higher than the first level had obvious differences in armor, and finally his eyes still fell on Zhang Shun.

Fight the enemy! Fight the enemy! Get promoted and rewarded, let your parents, wives and children live a good life, and let your ancestors have light!

"Fight!"

With this order, Wang Gou's blood boiled and he opened his mouth to shout.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The shouts drowned out the shouts of the other for a moment, and the sound of the knives coming out of their sheaths and guns on the ground also drowned out the rumbling hooves.

For a time, 10,000 people were one. The power is overwhelming, and there is nothing to stop.

Chen Qing and the others, who were watching the battle from a distance, could not hide their shock.

"It's not the same. It's not the same...", a lot of people are muttering to themselves.

In all fairness, these people have come to their current status, and the soldiers under their command are not bad breeds, and they have seen a lot of fierce and arrogant soldiers, but at this time, the kind of momentum exuded by these Shanxi soldiers is not the kind of arrogance and rudeness they see every day, but a kind of tempering from a hundred battles and not afraid of life or death. There is courage in the bravery, and there is the momentum of affection in the bravery.

"This time Li Changsan is finished." Chen Qing said to himself, his eyes couldn't help but look at Lu Yan who was standing in the distance.

Surrounded by soldiers and soldiers. Lu Yan stood with his hands in his hands.

"Surrender? Submission? He looked at Li Changsan's envoy and asked repeatedly.

Come and make him kneel on the ground, humble and respectful.

Now it's okay, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and it was hard to hide the joy on their faces, since Li Changsan's team had generals surrendering one after another, they finally waited for Li Changsan to surrender.

"As long as he's willing to surrender." Everyone said.

Presumably the emperor was also very happy to see this.

"It's late." Lu Yan said slowly, his eyes coldly looking at the envoy lying on the ground.

This made the envoy look up at the man in surprise, and the man's expression sent chills all over his body, and the others in the tent were also surprised.

"Lu Yan, he can surrender the best, he can use this to appease the people, subdue those rebels who are against the people, and once and for all..."Chen Qing said in a low voice.

Lu Yan smiled coldly.

"Appeased?" He said, "There is no need to recruit him Li Changsan, whoever dares to rebel and provoke chaos will be beaten until they are afraid." ”

Surrender? Bah! It's late! From the moment you Li Changsan dared to kidnap me, Lu Yan's wife and children, you were doomed to have only one way to die!

At the end of August of the fourth year of Yongzhen, Shanxi Qinwang's army broke Li Changsan, beheaded Li Changsan, shocked Huguang, and the Pingbarian army took advantage of the situation to sweep Jiangnan, Jiangnan a gun, Shimen Wang surrendered to the government, Red Boy, a tiger, Hao Sanchang and other people fled, stirring up half of the territory of the rebellion seems to have fallen overnight.

“… The special title of the Lord is the general of Dingguo, awarded the honor of the army, and the title of Mrs. is the second grade of the wife, posthumously presented to his father General An Yuan, his mother the second rank of the wife, and his brother General Dingyuan ......"

Listening to the string of names read out of the paperwork, Liu Meibao felt even more dizzy, maybe because of joy, or maybe because of a few days of congratulatory greetings, she only felt out of breath.

"When will the adults come back?" Liu Meibao interrupted the joyful reading of the document and asked the question she was most concerned about.

The clerk smiled embarrassedly, and naturally the newspaper of this official mansion would not say this.

Liu Meibao was a little disappointed.

Because of the war, Lu Yan's letter has not been delivered for a long time, and this time the official mansion who arrived home first reported the good news, but Lu Yan's letter was two days behind.

got Lu Yan's letter, Guiziniang and others rushed over.

"When will Jiro come back?" They couldn't help but ask.

Liu Meibao read the letter at a glance, and then slowly exhaled a breath that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time.

"Jiro isn't coming back." She smiled at Guiziniang, "He wants me and the child to go to the capital and be enthroned by the emperor." ”
