Xiang'er was lying on the bed thinking about how Lingyu could know that they couldn't open the city gate, and she couldn't sleep, so she got up and walked out, Ma Junlan said, "Sister Xiang, why are you going." Xiang'er said: "I have something to ask Brother Ling." Ma Junlan said: "What's so urgent." Hong Xia said: "Of course it's a puzzled thing, you can't sleep if you don't ask clearly, you can go quickly! We don't want to know." Xiang'er said: "There are no secret secrets. Hong Xia said: "Sister Xiang, you don't have to explain, go quickly!" Xiang'er said: "Then I'll go." With that, he walked out the door.

Xiang'er came to the door of Lingyu's room and knocked on the door twice, and said, "Brother Ling, are you sleeping?" only to hear Lingyu inside: "Not yet, if you have something, come in and talk about it!" Xiang'er pushed the door and walked into the house, and saw Lingyu meditating on the bed, Xiang'er said: "Brother Ling, you are practicing! Then let's talk about it tomorrow!" Lingyu smiled: "Wait until tomorrow morning, you won't be suffocated, come and say! Xiang'er closed the door and walked over and said coquettishly: "Xiang'er misses you every day, is it useful?" Lingyu smiled: "Xiangmei blames me for not playing with you." ”

Xiang'er came over and sat next to Lingyu, and said coquettishly: "Xiang'er really wants to go back to the mountains with Brother Ling, just how happy the two of us are to play." Lingyu reached out and took her in her arms, stroked her hair, and said softly: "That's in the past, it's impossible to go back to that time, I have more responsibilities now, Xiangmei, don't blame me." Xiang'er snuggled in Lingyu's arms and said coquettishly: "Xiang'er doesn't mean to blame Brother Ling, but she is happy when she often thinks of our days in the mountains." Lingyu lowered her head and kissed her forehead, and said softly: "It's good to be happy, I'll be happy if you're happy, and I'll take time to spend more time with you." Xiang'er said coquettishly: "This is what you said, Xiang'er can write it down." Lingyu smiled: "Yes, if I forget." You have to remind me. With that, he kissed her red lips.

The two kissed for a while, and after parting, Xiang'er suddenly said, "I almost forgot about business." Lingyu smiled: "There is something more important than us talking about love." Xiang'er said: "Actually, it's not important, it's just that I can't sleep in my heart without asking." Lingyu said: "Then you hurry up, otherwise I will be uncomfortable if I suffocate Xiangmei." Xiang'er said: "Xiang'er just wants to ask, Brother Ling." How did you know we didn't open the gates? Lingyu smiled: "That's it! At that time, we opened the south gate, and saw that there were a lot of soldiers guarding the city gate, and if the action was a little slow, it would be more difficult to open the city gate, and then it would be more difficult to open the city gate. Especially Xiang'er, you remember that you are the person I care about the most. ”

Xiang'er smiled happily and said coquettishly: "Of course I believe this, Xiang'er is so happy!" Lingyu smiled: "Do you want to be affectionate." Xiang'er smiled and said, "No, it's almost dawn, I want to go back and sleep beautifully." After speaking, he kissed Lingyu for a while and went back to the room.

The next day, the Flying Tiger Army continued to rest, and General Yang ordered Yao Hongtao to take his soldiers to transport back the grain and grass that had been lost there, and ordered his own soldiers and Liu Mingguo's soldiers to clean up the battlefield in the city. The corpses of the Mongol soldiers were all transported outside the city, and many civilians came to help. Finally, the battlefield was cleaned up. A total of 7,838 Mongolian soldiers were removed, 452 Ming soldiers were killed, and none of the Flying Tigers were damaged. The grain and grass here are still the original of General Yang, but some grain was eaten by the Mongolian soldiers.

In the afternoon, Lingyu sat in the command hall, and General Yang came back to report. After the battlefield was cleaned, the grain and grass baggage had been transported back, and more than 2,000 fleeing Ming troops heard that the reinforcements had arrived and defeated the Mongol soldiers, and they all returned one after another, and now the total number of soldiers has reached 10,000. Lingyu ordered the soldiers and horses to rest. Recuperate and prepare to attack the city of Hulangtu. Then he sent a messenger back to the capital to report the victory.

Speaking of the capital, on the third day after Lingyu and they left, Lei Peng, the general of the left cavalry, and his son rushed to the capital, and immediately went to meet the emperor, and the emperor immediately named him the generalissimo of the expedition to the north, and asked the governor's office of the five armies to hand over all the soldiers, horses, grain, grass and baggage that had been prepared to him, and the next day Marshal Lei Peng took 30,000 troops to leave the capital and march north.

After Lingyu took the Flying Tiger Army away, he came to the border to report urgently, Hulangtu City was lost, and the civil and military ministers in the capital were all discussed, and some were optimistic, hoping that Lingyu would fight the Mongolian soldiers like killing traitors and corrupt officials. Some people just want to be a little smart, and fighting with tens of thousands of troops is not as simple as gaining power in the court, taking a few hundred people to fight tens of thousands of troops, maybe it will be gone forever.

On the fourth day of Marshal Lei Peng's departure, the border pass came to report urgently, and Dehua City was lost again, and the next day the emperor went to the early court, the emperor was worried, looked at the ministers and said: "The border pass has lost the city, it is very urgent, what good plan do you have for Aiqing." The ministers were silent, and after a while, Lord Shoufu Hong said: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, maybe Lord Zhang has not yet arrived at the border pass, as long as Lord Zhang arrives, he will be able to stop the Mongol soldiers from attacking." Lang Zhongmiao Chongguang of the Criminal Department said: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang has been gone for many days, but the messenger at the border pass said that he didn't see Lord Zhang's Flying Tiger Army on the road, which is really strange. ”

Feng Yuliang, the governor of Zuodu, said: "Your Majesty, it's not surprising that the messenger didn't see Lord Zhang, and the messenger who delivered the urgent report sometimes took the shortcut he was familiar with, maybe they took a fork." Lord Hong said: "Lord Feng is polite. At this moment, I suddenly heard someone outside the hall shouting: "Good news from the border pass, good news from the border pass,...... The emperor said: "Why is it urgent again." At this time, Song Jie, the guard outside the palace, entered the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the border gate has arrived." The emperor was very surprised when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Quickly pass him to the palace to report." Song Jie returned to the door of the main hall and shouted: "Spread the messenger of the border pass to the palace to report." The messenger walked into the main hall and knelt down and replied, "Captain Tong has just visited the emperor." ”

The emperor said: "Calm down, get up and talk back, and quickly say what a good news." Tong Gang said: "Thank you, Emperor." After speaking, he got up and said: "Your Majesty, the Flying Tiger General Lord Zhang led the Flying Tiger Army to defeat the Mongolian army. The emperor said happily: "You tell me in detail how Lord Zhang defeated the Mongolian army." So Tong Gang carefully explained how Lingyu took the Flying Tiger Army to meet the defeated Yang General Army, and how he killed more than 20,000 Mongolian troops of 30,000. The emperor and the ministers were amazed when they heard it, and after listening to Dayue, the emperor said: "Okay, great, Zhang Aiqing is worthy of being the pillar of my Ming Dynasty and the lucky star of my Ming Dynasty." After a pause, he said to the messenger: "You are the captain Tong Gang." Tong Gang said: "The emperor, it is right below." ”

The emperor said: "You have reported the good news in time, I will reward you with 100 taels of silver, and promote you to the general flag." Tong Gang said: "Your Majesty, I am just a messenger who does not dare to be greedy for credit, and the credit should be that of Lord Zhang and the Flying Tiger Army." The emperor said: "I will remember their merits for them, and then they will be rewarded, and your merits will be yours." Lord Hong said: "Tong Gang, you don't want to thank you." Tong Gang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Emperor." The emperor said: "You retreat and rest!" Tong Gang thanked the emperor again and withdrew from the Jinluan Palace.

As soon as Tong withdrew from the Jinluan Palace, Lord Hong stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to the emperor for winning this good general and winning a great victory at the border pass." The ministers said in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor on his victory." The emperor said: "All Aiqing, today is a holiday to celebrate, and retire from the dynasty." The ministers said: "Thank the emperor." After speaking, he waited for the emperor to leave before walking towards the outside of the hall. (To be continued......)
