The three Liu Xingzhi subordinates who were released by Yang Chengying found the location of the hidden horse and the comrades who watched the horse.

After they simply summed up, they turned over and went to find the second master, Liu Xingzuo.

On the hillside more than ten miles away from the cottage, the Houjin cavalry had unsaddled their horses and fed them beans.

Except for a few cavalry for vigilance.

The soldiers sat on the ground in groups of three or five, resting, eating the dry rations they had brought with them.

Around the campfire, a horse lance was erected.

Liu Xingzuo stood by the fire, staring at the horselance.

After the sun set, under the dark blue sky, Liu Xingzuo, who was in great shape, stared at the long horse lance, as if he was talking to it.

Back then, he was whipped more than a dozen times by local officials for wearing the clothes of a student.

Liu Xingzuo was angry and took his mother to Jianzhou with his brothers.

Wanted to beg for food there.

Unexpectedly, he met the benefactor of his life, the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou, Nurhachi.

At this time, Nurhachi was already the dragon and tiger general of the Ming Dynasty, and he had a sword given by the emperor.

Nurhachi treated him like his own son and let him command the Han army.

After the founding of the Later Jin Dynasty, he belonged to the Zhenghongqi Dabeile Daishan Sect, and married the daughter of the Daishan nursing mother, and the relationship became closer.

He also has a very good relationship with Huang Taiji and others.

Nominally, his status is second to that of Li Yongfang and his mother's Tong Yangxing, and he belongs to the third person in the Han Army.

In fact, the Han army that was incorporated was under his command.

With such a favor and preferential treatment, it stands to reason that Liu Xingzuo should be very happy and willing to die for the Great Khan.

However, Liu Xingzuo was not happy in his heart.

Staring at the horse lance who followed him to kill the enemy, Liu Xingzuo's resolute eyes showed a trace of wavering.

At this moment, several fast horses galloped in.

Liu Xingzuo heard the sound of horses' hooves, and there was no change in his expression.

He knew that if it was an enemy, it would not be possible to get unblocked.

When the horse arrived, the horse warrior turned over and dismounted, and fell to one knee.

One of them hugged his fists and said: "Second master, fifth master was arrested by Yang Chengying." Yang Chengying invited the second master to the cottage for a while. ”

"Oh? Invite me to talk? ”

Liu Xingzuo squinted his eyes, thinking about the other party's plan in his heart.

After a while, he looked at his eldest brother Liu Xingpei: "Big brother, I'll leave it to you here, and I'll meet Yang Chengying for a while." ”

Liu Xingpei frowned and said: "Yang Chengying is the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not necessarily a good thing for him to invite you." ”

"It's okay, I've seen him before, and I know that this person doesn't like to engage in intrigues, so he won't hurt me."

Liu Xingzuo hung up his saber, "The fifth child is in his hands, I have to bring the fifth child back." ”

Liu Xingpei is still not at ease: "If you don't bring a few brothers, if the other party makes a move, you can also withdraw in time." ”

"No need, I'll go and get back quickly."

Liu Xingzuo didn't listen, turned over on the horse, rode the horse, and galloped away.

Seeing the second brother go away, Liu Xingpei was not at ease, and immediately ordered the whole army to put on the saddle and be ready to attack at any time.

Liu Xingzuo had already known the path from the mouth of the brothers who had returned from the previous investigation.

He flew to the gate of the camp.

Yang Chengying knew that he was coming, opened the door of the village, and greeted him in person.

Liu Xingzuo turned over and dismounted, stabbed the saber on the ground, and stepped forward.

Yang Chengying hugged his fists and said, "Second Brother Liu, I finally looked forward to you." ”

"Yang Shuai invited, how dare I not come." Liu Xingzuo returned the salute with a fist.

Liu Xingzhi was on the side, and when he saw the second brother coming alone, he lowered his head in shame.

If it weren't for his own carelessness, he wouldn't have fallen into the hands of the enemy, so let the second brother take the risk to come to the rescue.

Seeing the fifth brother like this, Liu Xingzuo didn't say anything comforting, only patted him on the shoulder, and followed Yang Chengying into the village.

Along the way, he saw that Yang Chengying's military appearance was very strict, and he nodded frequently.

And he saw the people lining up for dinner. In addition to rice, there are also vegetables and meat in the bowl, and my heart moves.

"These people, being able to meet Yang Shuai is their creation."

Liu Xingzuo said softly: "Otherwise, they will either be knocked out of the bones by the bandits, or starve to death in the wilderness." ”

"These vegetables and meat are owned by the people, and they are plundered by bandits. I'm just giving it back to the people. Yang Chengying said.

"Greed is a common trait of human beings. Yang Shuai's abandonment of greed is really commendable. ”

"I haven't given up 'greed', and I'm glad to accept those soldiers and horses under your command if they were mine."

Liu Xingzuo listened and laughed.

The two entered the main hall and sat down face to face.

Liu Xingzhi stood behind Liu Xingzuo.

"I don't know if Yang Shuai invited me to come, what do you have to say." Liu Xingzuo got straight to the point.

"Please come, first, let you bring Fifth Brother Liu back. Second, I want to express my gratitude in person. ”

Yang Chengying clasped his fists and said: "If it weren't for the second brother's good intentions, these people would have suffered from the disaster of the soldiers, and even I, the hundreds of people, would have suffered heavy losses." ”

As he spoke, Liu Xingzuo's eyes flickered.

This is true, if you can rush here from Gaizhou so quickly, there is a high probability that it will be cavalry.

The cavalry under Liu Xingzuo came and went like the wind.

It is completely possible to take advantage of Yang Chengying's march to make a surprise attack and use the rout to disperse the Ming army's formation.

Yang Chengying brought all the infantry, and he couldn't fight the cavalry in a hurry.

Therefore, Yang Chengying didn't know that it was Liu Xingzuo at the beginning, and set a plan to lure the enemy to attack the cottage.

The aim is, of course, to take advantage of the favorable terrain and to harness the power of firearms.

After Yang Chengying finished speaking, Liu Xingzuo smiled bitterly: "I am not a good person, the general who beat me back then." After breaking through the city, I dragged him out and hacked him to death!

But I can't bear to do it to the people. ”

These words, to the ears of some generals leading troops, are so absurd.

A general with troops can have such a woman's kindness.

"In the Houjin army, there are fierce generals. Even the eloquent Sibeiler, when he attacked Fushun, he also took advantage of the opportunity of the horse market to kill the people.

Then use these fleeing people to break open the city gate of Fushun.

At that time, I was also present, and the tragic situation is vivid, and I still can't bear to think about it. ”

Liu Xingzuo never mentioned these words to anyone, even his own brother, and rarely mentioned them.

Now he told Yang Chengying.

Yang Chengying understands his feelings very well, "It's difficult not to attack the weak." Back then, Ning Yuanbo also deceived the Mongols and beheaded them to repay their merits. ”

"yes, it's hard."

Liu Xingzuo smiled bitterly: "You are the first person I have seen who cherishes the people so much, it's really rare." ”

"I just did what I had to do, and I kept the people safe." Yang Chengying said, "I know that you can't let go of kindness in your heart, and I don't advise you to do it right now."

But I hope you think about it, what I just suggested. ”

"Kindness, it's so difficult to let go of three words."

Liu Xingzuo's words changed, "However, don't worry, I will consider it seriously." ”

"Well, I won't keep you too much, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Yang Chengying got up, "You take Fifth Brother Liu away, the sooner the better." ”

Liu Xingzuo also stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Qingshan doesn't change, we will have a chance to meet again." ”

"Yes, I just hope that we won't meet each other when the time comes." Yang Chengying clenched his fists.

"When the time comes, will you invite me to be your guest of honor as you are today?" Liu Xingzuo asked.

"I'll put you on death row."

Yang Chengying raised his eyebrows, "What about you, Second Brother Liu?" How will it clean me up. ”

"Hang your head in the air." Liu Xingzuo said with a smile.

Yang Chengying also laughed.
