Qinghe Fort boiled all day, and the noise gradually decreased.

Zhang Wen quickly mobilized the troops of Li Xinde and Jiang Ji, plus Qin Yulian's cavalry, and the troops divided into two routes and went out of the city to pursue. Although Zhang Wen is a civilian official, he is no stranger to arranging troops, coupled with the in-depth investigation and research of the Jianyu people some time ago, he now knows them very well. Now that the Jianyu people are defeated, every inch is in chaos, where is the usual bravery and morale?

On their side, Zhang Wen, as the supreme commander of the entire battalion, had just won a major victory under Zhang Wen's design, and now he personally supervised the battle with the army, which made the soldiers even more imposing. The people below had just experienced a bloody battle, and coupled with their hatred for the Jianyu people, they shouted one by one to go up and kill the enemy.

Zhang Wen and Qin Yulian both belonged to the left flank, and Li Xinde and Jiang Ji both belonged to the right flank.

The strong men of Jianyu have long been defeated, and in the face of the Ming army with high morale, where is the heart to fight? Qin Yulian and the others didn't care about it, and when they raised their knives, they were slashing and killing indiscriminately. For a while, I saw blood splashing on the battlefield, screaming again and again. Qin Yulian drove a horse carrying a white-pole gun, coming and going among the crowd of prisoners, with severed hands and stumps all over the place, killing them without leaving a piece of armor.

Zhang Wen couldn't help but admire it in his heart, it was really a woman who didn't let her eyebrows, as far as Qin Yulian's marksmanship and ruthlessness were concerned, I was afraid that few men could compare.

Li Xinde and Jiang Ji's right flank also advanced very quickly, and the two sides quickly surrounded the remnants of the Jianyu. Seeing that it was difficult to get out, the Jianyu people had to resist stubbornly. But no matter how brave they were, they could only be defeated in the end in front of Zhang Wenbu, who had the advantage in numbers. Soon, the main force of Jianyu was annihilated by various departments.

Victorious......

Zhang Wen's ears were buzzing with the sound of gunfire that day, and it was not until he saw the result with his own eyes that he finally put his mind at ease. But the long-term tension caused him to be in a trance for a while.

"Yo, it's snowing!" Qin Yulian next to her exclaimed, she is from Sichuan, and she may rarely see snow. Zhang Wen looked at it when he heard the sound, and the air was fluttering, as if it was full of snowflakes in an instant, which was very beautiful.

Occasionally, there is a "bang" of gunshots, just like children playing with firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. Coupled with the sudden appearance of snowflakes in the sky, it really looks like the atmosphere of the New Year. However, the thick smell of blood wafting in the air ruined the atmosphere, and from time to time there was a scream of "ah......", echoing in the hazy snow, and it was terrifying.

"Back to the city!" Zhang Wen gave an order and led the army back to the city.

When the officers and men on the upper and lower floors saw Zhang Wen and the others returning victoriously, they immediately shouted "Long live," jumped and cheered happily in the snowflakes, and shouted Zhang Wen's name one after another.

Zhang Wen not only won the Jianyu people, but also won the support of the army.

Zhang Wen stood on a high place, excited in his heart, but his face was pale, and he exhaled bursts of white air from his mouth, forgetting how to express his feelings.

These days he wears a mask for too long, and his composure is disguised for too long, and many times he can't effectively harmonize his expression with his heart. He paused, raised his sword, and finally shouted:

"Won!"

Listening to the cheers of the people around her, Qin Yulian, who was standing behind Zhang Wen, only felt a burst of blood surging in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.

What a hard-won victory......

She shouted with everyone, but her eyes fell on Zhang Wen's back, in addition to deep love, there was reverence and shock in her eyes.

Since when did she only look up to this man......

Tens of thousands of iron cavalry rushed into the city, which was originally an overwhelming massacre, but it was instead overwhelmed by about 20,000 Ming troops, and the main force of the Eight Banners was annihilated.

Such a result not only shocked and unimaginable the officers and soldiers of Qinghe, but also made Zhang Wen unimaginable. Even if he set up this game, he never dared to think that he would really succeed.

He looked up at the gray sky, the snowflakes still fell calmly from the heights regardless of the joys and sorrows of the world, and he said in his heart: How can the will of heaven be measured by mortals?

All the troops looked at Zhang Wen, and when they saw him looking at the sky, everyone also looked into the sky, where there was nothing but a cloud and a heavy snow of goose feathers, let alone gods and miracles. But some people already believe that Zhang Wen saw the gods.

"The Bodhisattva manifests, God bless the Ming!" Zhang Wen's personal soldiers shouted, and the crowd chanted again.

So the victory or defeat of a human battle somehow became mysterious and profound.

Zhang Wen didn't know what to say in the face of such emotions, he couldn't say that everything was luck, but he couldn't say a word, so he held back a sentence and said: "The fortune of the country will last forever!" ”

The army cheered again.

After victory and victory, it is the harvest of human heads, which are all white flowers. The streets and alleys were full of soldiers who were pouting their butts and carrying their pockets and cutting off their heads frantically.

The generals rode through the streets and shouted: "Look clearly, the one who does not wear braids is our brother who died in battle, whoever cuts off the head without braids, and the rod and the stick are fifty!" ”

Zhang Wen looked at the truckload of bloodstained and dirty heads, his stomach churned, and there was nothing left in his mind except for the staring heads with dead eyes. Zhang Ying and Xuan Yue were already vomiting next to them, they also killed people and seen bloody scenes, but they really haven't seen such a car full of heads, as if they are in hell on earth.

Soon, Liu Ling led the army to restore his life. I saw him turn over from the horse and dismount, throw the bloodstained knife in his hand on the ground with a "bang", turn back to the person and say, "Carry it out and wash it!" Then he looked back at Zhang Wen and laughed, his bloodshot eyes couldn't hide his excitement.

Zhang Wen's face was blown wooden by the cold wind, the corners of his mouth were torn, and he smiled dryly, and said, "General Liu, have the soldiers cleaned up?" ”

Liu Ling couldn't stop laughing, and finally coughed a few times before stopping, pointing to a few big men who were tied into cocoons behind him and said, "There are still a few I don't want to kill, we captured Nurhachi's younger brother Turhaqi." ”

Figure ...... Turhazy? Zhang Wen asked in a daze, and hurriedly looked ahead.

"It's not Turhaqi, it's just a pity that Nurhachi escaped with injuries." Liu Ling smiled, "Hehe...... Lord Zhang's tactics are really admirable, among the civil officials, I, Liu Ling, only serve you alone. ”

Zhang Wen walked towards the captives behind, and when he heard Liu Ling's words, wasn't this a euphemism to show his allegiance? For those who can be wooed, loyal henchmen, Zhang Wen is stupid and will not be promoted, and the henchmen are useful at any time.

He passed by Liu Ling's side and said in a low voice: "General Liu, rest assured, after this great victory, this official will ensure that you will enter the hereditary title, and your descendants will be enshrined for generations." ”

After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he walked in front of the captive, a total of five people lined up, and he followed Liu Ling's words and looked at the person in the middle, that is, Turhaqi. I saw that Tulhaqi was tall and burly, wearing armor, the helmet was no longer there, his face was Chinese, his skin was dark and wrinkled, and his braids and beard were gray. Big eyes, deep bags under his eyes, although he was captured, his eyes were very calm, not much panic, but there was a helplessness and unwillingness in his expression. Snowflakes covered his eyebrows and beard, and his body was tied like a dumpling, and his old and tired appearance made Turkhazi look pitiful. But of course Zhang Wen will not be affected by appearances, he clearly knows that the old man in front of him, Turhaqi, will not frown when he orders to kill thousands of people, and he can even expel his clansmen to dig up the wall and send them to death.

"You used to be the godson of the Ming Dynasty general Li Chengliang, so naturally you can speak Chinese?" Zhang asked, with a lot of mockery in his words. The army laughed and was very happy.

In his early years, Turhaqi went out with his brother Nurhachi to earn a living, and later defected to the Ming Dynasty general Li Chengliang as an errand boy, where he developed a strong physique and exquisite martial arts.

Turhaqi stared at Zhang Wen, and there was no anger in his eyes in his bloated eye bags, which couldn't help but make Zhang Wen stunned. Turhazi did not speak, as a captive, anything could be insulted, and anger did not work, so Turhaqi did not say a word, and stood quietly in place, or rather, his old age made him look kind.

Turhazi's ignorance of the victor's questioning was itself a form of rebellion. However, Zhang Wen didn't do anything to him because of this, but only turned around and said, "Take the enemy chief into custody." After saying that, Zhang Wen looked back at Turhaqi, and when he saw that he was also looking at himself, he gave a look to the cart full of heads next to him, and the meaning was self-evident.

After the Ming army cut off their heads, some of them went to clean up the corpses, bury the war dead, and make a register to record their names; As for the headless corpse of Jianyu, mass graves were dug and buried. Most of the people gathered in front of the tower in Xicheng, and they were still happy, ready to have a good time, but this Qinghe Fort had nothing but wind and snow, and even the food was burned by Zhang Wen, but fortunately they won the battle and captured a lot of food from the defeated army of Jianyu, so that they would not drink the northwest wind in the snow on an empty stomach.

At the celebration banquet, Zhang Wen raised his glass and shouted to the army: "The generals of all departments will arrange the aftermath and return to Shenyang tomorrow to receive rewards, promotions, salaries, and rest." ”

Everyone cheered for a while, and there was a commotion, and at this time, the general didn't care about his subordinates, and he made trouble with everyone. When night fell, Qinghe Fort was still lit up everywhere, and all the wine that could be found was found to drink and revel, and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than the New Year.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhang Wen went to the side, especially explained to his own soldiers, strictly guarded Turhaqi, the enemy chief is the most valuable thing, Zhang Wen also counted on getting back to Beijing to offer Fu to be promoted. The general said that he had been detained in a large prison, shackled, and heavily protected by soldiers. Zhang Wen breathed a sigh of relief, he had too many things to think about, and he didn't know where to start, maybe it was the ecstatic mood that made people impetuous, and he couldn't settle down. If you want to calm down, Zhang Wen still thinks that he had the best mentality when he used to study the scriptures hard.

At this time, Qin Yulian's voice interrupted Zhang Wen's thoughts, I don't know when she came here, I just heard her say: "Everyone is drinking to celebrate, why don't you drink a few more glasses, aren't you happy to win the battle?" ”

Zhang Wen raised his head when he heard this, and saw that Qin Yulian had changed her armor and was wearing a plain brocade dress, with green silk being pulled into a simple bun and an elegant plum blossom hairpin. If the shoulders are sharpened, the waist is like a prime, and Yingying is standing not far away.

"Yulian is here, come here, look at ...... Look at the tea! Zhang Wen saw that she was dressed as a woman, and then remembered that she was still a woman, her tongue was knotted, and the word "wine" was changed to the word tea.

Qin Yulian generously picked up a glass of wine: "My brothers all drink, why do I deserve tea?" It's too unfair for adults. ”

This remark was so generous that the sergeants present clapped their hands and screamed.

Zhang Wen smiled, toasted Qin Yulian's glass of wine, and wanted to promise to take care of Liu Ling like Liu Ling, but later thought that this woman was not interested in being promoted to official wealth, but herself, and swallowed the words in her mouth, her mind was a little clearer, and she changed her words: "Qin Qian is always sassy and heroic, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is a rare good woman in the world......

"That is to say, we see that in this world, Master Zhang is worthy of President Qin Qian!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Master Zhang has just led us to win the battle, so let's just come to the door with a double happiness!"

…………

The people present are all watching the excitement and not thinking it is a big deal, and most people know that Qin Yulian broke out of the customs for Zhang Wen to save people, if he said that he didn't have that kind of mind for Zhang Wen, he would not believe anyone.

Everyone thought that they were matching marriages, but they didn't know that Zhang asked himself to say that he was suffering, and he couldn't wait to give himself a mouthful, annoyed that he said something bad. Although Qin Yulian has great kindness to him, he really has no feelings for Qin Yulian, if he has feelings, it is also admiration and gratitude, but now everyone is coaxing, if he says not to marry, it will hurt Qin Yulian, and he will be unkind, but let him marry her, it will be a duck on the shelf!

Qin Yulian saw Zhang Wen's distressed face, and her heart was astringent, but she was still smiling on her face: "Do you think I can't get married?" Don't blame me for the military law, Lord Zhang is a man with a wife, how can you be allowed to mess around here? ”

Her words seemed to be saying to the White Pole Army, but in fact she was saying it to someone in the venue, including Zhang Wen.

When the people present heard it, the noise of the coaxing was quiet, thinking that they would be wrong, so they just smiled and began to eat and drink again.

After thirty years of drinking, all the generals were not very sober, and they went back with their shoulders hooked, while Zhang Wen sat by the window and blew the wind, looking very comfortable.

"Master Zhang."

Qin Yulian's voice suddenly sounded behind her, and Zhang Wen was so frightened that she almost jumped up, and only after a while did she speak: "What is Yulian looking for me?" ”

"Yulian is here to say goodbye," Qin Yulian has now put it down, and she feels a little funny when she sees Zhang Wen's reaction like this, "Yulian went out of the customs against her aunt's will at that time, and now that she has won the battle, she should go back." ”

Zhang Wen remembered that Qin Yulian had violated Qin Liangyu's intentions because of herself, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart. Qin Yulian came out for herself, even if she won the battle this time, but the military law is as big as the sky, and she will inevitably be dealt with when she goes back.

"Yulian, I ......"

The girls have done this for him, Zhang Wenyi gritted his teeth, and when he was making up his mind to repay his kindness by "making a promise", Qin Yulian smiled.

"Adults don't have to feel too guilty about me, Yulian doesn't want to marry adults now." Qin Yulian's expression became serious, "I was willing to be a concubine before, it was because I didn't like adults enough, after experiencing the last few wars, I understand that adults are a real hero, and I admire adults even more, so ...... I don't want to marry an adult anymore. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Wen was confused by these words.

"Because I like adults more," Qin Yulian said frankly, "so I don't want to share adults with other women, and I don't want adults to go against my will." After saying that, Qin Yulian solemnly bent down and did the salute that a girl's family should do, "Yulian said goodbye, and hoped that the adults would cherish everything." ”

In an instant, Zhang Wen suddenly thought of saying a word to her, so he hurriedly shouted, "Yulian." He was afraid that after this moment, he would not remember what he wanted to say to her. Zhang Wen thinks about too many things in his mind every day, all of which are abstract things such as scheming and tactics, and he is in a trance, and he often can't remember things in reality.

When Qin Yulian heard Zhang Wen shouting at herself, she stood still, turned around, and watched Zhang Wen blurt out in Sichuan: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Wen looked at the door, the door was hidden, and the sound of wind and snow howling came from outside. He turned his head to look at Qin Yulian and said, "Yulian, thank you, there is something I want to remind you, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember it in the future." No matter what kind of person you are with, after a long time, there are only some trivial things left, and others, especially the admiration you have now, will soon disappear. ”

Qin Yulian was stunned, and then just like Zhang Wen did when he first saw her, she smiled and said, "Lord Zhang is a good person. ”

Zhang Wen shook his head after hearing this, he can be described in many words, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to be compatible with a good person.

Qin Yulian saw Zhang Wen's movements, and said, "I know, thank you Lord Zhang for reminding me." There is nothing left, Lord Zhang is good-looking, and he looks comfortable. ”

Zhang Wen smiled when he heard this. Qin Yulian asked again, "Does Lord Zhang have anything else to say?" ”

"In that case, no. By the way, don't call me Lord Zhang in the future, call me ...... It's named. ”

Qin Yulian smiled after hearing this: "Okay, Zhang asked, then I'll avoid it first and say goodbye." She really called her name, you must know that the name can only be called table words among peers, and only when she despises others, or when her superiors call her subordinates, she is called by her name. Zhang Wen knew that in the past, she dared to directly knock Shangguan to the ground and gnaw a mouthful of mud, but now she dares to call him by his name, there is nothing she dare not do. Maybe women are always offending the man they love, and then get the man's forgiveness, so as to satisfy their psychology of inviting pets; Or maybe Qin Yulian is a military general, so she is more straightforward.

Not long after Qin Yulian left, a personal soldier walked to the door and said, "My lord, the enemy chief Turhaqi wants to see your lordship. The lowly did not want to pay attention to it, but Turhaqi said that the lord would definitely see him, and the lowly post came to report it. ”

Zhang Wen heard that Turhaqi took the initiative to ask to meet, and really had a strong curiosity about what he wanted to say, he asked people to pour a cup of strong tea, and after drinking it, his mouth was full of bitter taste, and the person was a little sober, and then said to Qing Bing: "Okay, go and escort him over to talk, and ask someone to prepare some wine and food." Although he is an enemy, Tulhaqi is a Baylor-level figure after all, and Zhang Wen, as an aristocratic landlord, will unconsciously give some respect to people with status.
