Zu Tianshou, the word Fuyu. After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he ordered that all people in the world with the word "Tian" must change their names, so they changed their names to Zu Dashou.

Zu Dashou was born in the orthodox Liaodong Army, and his father Zu Chengxun was a famous general who resisted the Japanese and aided the Korea, and he was also a fierce general under Ning Yuanbo Li Chengliang.

He also relied on this relationship to successfully become an official and served as a guerrilla in Jingdong Battalion. Later, he rose to prominence and served as a guerrilla general of the Chinese army under Wang Huazhen.

When the city of Liaoyang was broken, he led the remnants of his defeated army to flee to the vast mountainous area south of Liaoyang and east of Anshanyi, avoiding the troops of Houjin.

Inurhachi set his sights on Quang Ninh, west of the Sancha River, and did not pursue him in the mountains, allowing him to escape without incident.

In the process of escaping south, Zu Tianshou learned through the sentry that Xiong Yueyi, where the Jinzhou guards and horses were stationed in the south of Gaizhou Wei, was overjoyed, so he sent an envoy to find Yang Chengying and expressed his intention to return.

Yang Chengying was worried about the lack of a prestigious commander for the thousands of newly surrendered Ming troops under his hands, so he really wanted to sleep and came to the pillow, so he immediately agreed.

and sent a general from the Liaodong department to go with the envoy.

The messenger departed happily.

However, this led to Fang Zhenru's careful thinking.

Although Mao Yuanyi tactfully reminded him, he was still worried that Fang Zhenru would take the opportunity to make trouble and affect the overall situation.

Therefore, after everyone dispersed, he stayed alone and said earnestly to Yang Chengying.

"General, it's a great thing that Zu Tianshou led the crowd here. But isn't it inappropriate for the general to let him lead the newly surrendered Ming army? ”

"Brother Zhisheng, are you afraid that our lord will take the opportunity to win over Zu Tianshou and fight against me, causing the army to be discordant?" Yang Chengying asked with a smile.

Mao Yuanyi nodded awkwardly, "Fang Xun is my old friend, and he has some thoughts, but he can't hide my eyes." ”

Yang Chengying laughed: "Let me tell you the truth, I not only have to hand over my subordinates to Zu Tianshou, but also allocate a large amount of food to them." And give them some silver. ”

"General......" Mao Yuanyi was taken aback.

"Those who achieve great things must have an extraordinary belly."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "Zu Tianshou led the crowd to join him, but he was actually uneasy in his heart. I just let him eat a reassuring pill, work together with me, capture Gaizhou, and respond to the strategy of Liaodong Xiong. ”

Mao Yuanyi looked at him with joy on his face, "The general's aura is magnificent, and it is indeed different. ”

"Zu Tianshou should be back soon, please ask Mr. to assist Shang Xueli in preparing the supplies, and as soon as they arrive, I will allocate them to them."

"Yes, General."

Mao Yuanyi excitedly left the tent of the commander of the Chinese army.

He had just walked on his front foot, and he would rather come in on my back foot.

Yang Chengying was drinking tea, saw him, and asked, "Is there something wrong with sir?" ”

I only smiled slightly, sighed again, opened the curtain again, turned around and went out.

"What's wrong with this guy today? Could it be that you are stupid to lose money? Yang Chengying thought so in his heart and lowered his head to drink tea.

Suddenly, thinking of something, he suddenly raised his head and stared at the tent door.

"Damn, I can't hide anything from this guy."

Yang Chengying said scoldingly.

Zu Tianshou was in a desperate situation, and received Yang Chengying's affirmative reply, and immediately happily led his troops to Xiong Yue Station.

Yang Chengying put on a guard of honor to welcome the arrival of Zu Tianshou.

Knock knock knock...... Knock knock knock......

With the sound of drums, a group of centaurs loomed at the end of the field of vision.

After a long period of fleeing, the whole army from Zu Tianshou down to the top was in dire straits, and even the general's flag was in tatters, so you know how much hard life they have experienced.

Seeing that this team was getting closer, Yang Chengying took the initiative to step out of the guard of honor, stepped on the thick snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and greeted Zu Tianshou on foot.

Zu Tianshou also seemed to see it, and immediately sped up the speed of his mount.

When the two of them were close to Chi Qi, Yang Chengying hugged his fists and said, "General Zu, don't come unharmed." ”

Zu Tianshou turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and saluted: "General Yang, it's been a long time!" ”

This is, of course, a pleasant greeting to each other.

In fact, there is almost zero communication between the two.

Yang Chengying beckoned, and the guards under his command walked over with a tray.

He lifted the cover from the tray, revealing a clean and tidy set of clothes, and another tray was some jewelry, silver ingots.

"General Zu has come from afar and felt very hard, so I won't immediately set up a banquet to catch the wind. Please take a good rest after the general freshens up. In the afternoon, a banquet was held for the general. ”

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "In addition, these jewels and silver ingots are my personal gifts, and the general can use them for himself or reward them to his subordinates." ”

Zu Tianshou looked shocked, and after listening to Yang Chengying's words, he was immediately grateful: "I am tired that General Yang thinks so thoughtfully, Zu is grateful." ”

Thanks again.

With the help of Yang Chengying, Zu Tianshou successfully settled his subordinates.

Afterwards, Zu Tianshou went to sleep boldly with confidence.

These poor Ming soldiers were almost no different from beggars, and for the first time in so many days, they threw down the weapons in their hands and came over.

The first time I ate a hot meal, I was even more excited and shed tears.

One by one, they gobbled up so much that the man who provided them with food urged them not to eat too fast, to choke carefully, and to make sure that the food was enough.

Yang Chengying saw this scene, and he, a top student of the previous military academy, sighed in his heart.

Spring ploughing is coming, should I start a firehead army and improve the diet of the soldiers.

While he was thinking about it, one of the guards approached.

He whispered: "General, my subordinates saw Lord Patrol secretly going to Zu Tianshou's camp. ”

"Got it." Yang Chengying responded briefly.

The guards retreated.

Yang Cheng said in his heart: "Come to my corner so soon, which point is like a famous minister in the late Ming Dynasty." ”

It turned out that Fang Zhenru didn't listen to Mao Yuanyi's euphemistic reminder, in his opinion, it was a precaution to win over Zu Tianshou.

So, after learning that Zu Tianshou woke up, he secretly went to Zu Tianshou's camp.

He thought that he was doing this unknowingly, but in fact, he had already been arranged by Yang Chengying, and he saw it clearly.

Zu Tianshou is forty-two years old this year, he is in the prime of life, he is burly, extremely majestic, and at first glance he is a person of extraordinary strength.

After a peaceful sleep, the whole person is full of energy.

After freshening up, he prepared to leave the big tent and go to Yang Chengying's tent to meet the commander of the Chinese army.

Although Yang Chengying is young, he is very thoughtful. Not only did he prepare hot water early, but he also did not allow any of his soldiers to come near his tent.

It's really an amazing young offspring, Zu Tianshou thought.

Unexpectedly, the guards came to report, and Lord Fang of Liaodong Patrol asked to see him outside the door.

"Lord Fang? Asking to see you outside the door? ”

Zu Tianshou was a little stunned, but then ordered his guards to invite Master Fang in.

"I don't have any friendship with Lord Fang, why did you suddenly come to me? Could it be ......"

Before Zu Tianshou could finish thinking about it, he saw Fang Zhenru come in and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"The last general, Zu Tianshou, paid a visit to Lord Patrol Fang."

"Quick, please get up!"
