Chapter 150: The Remaining Brave Should Pursue the Poor Bandits

"The general is saying that my lord will expand the army?" Zhang Wu's face changed, and his eyes showed excitement.

"That's natural. My lord defeated Lin Danhan. In a short time, there will be no match for my lord on the grassland. My lord's unification of the grassland is his ambition." He Kegang said without thinking: "If you want to unify the grassland, you must Maybe the lord goes out to fight all day, otherwise, with so many of our subordinates, how can we have a chance to make meritorious service? Don’t you, Zhang Wu, just want to be a guerrilla general for the rest of your life?”

"Hehe, what the general said makes sense." Zhang Wu's expression moved, and then he cupped his hands at He Kegang and said, "Thank you, general, for your guidance. I'm going to arrest people now." As he spoke, he whipped his horsewhip and led a group of troops to chase other Ming troops. .

There were shouts of killing everywhere on the entire battlefield. Some of these Ming soldiers were cavalry and some were infantry.The cavalry had long been discouraged by the news, and some of them had been killed by the Mongolian army. They all wanted to escape back to the pass.Now that Li Xin's soldiers were chasing after him, how could these people escape.In the end, when some people heard the cavalry coming from behind, they quickly knelt on the ground and threw the weapons in their hands aside, not daring to resist at all.However, Li Xin's cavalry didn't care about these people at all. The cavalry rushed to kill Hou Shilu and others who were running ahead.

"It's really abominable. Why didn't that Li Xin come sooner or later? It's only at this juncture." Cao Huachun gritted his teeth and cursed Li Xin's name viciously.Such a big battle, in the end, it turned out that Li Xin was fulfilled, how could he, a eunuch, bear it.

"When we get back to the Xuan Mansion, we'll straighten out our troops and kill them back to the grassland." Hou Shilu was also extremely aggrieved. He had fought for many years, but he never expected to be played like this by Li Xin, a kid under 20 years old. Use the soldiers and horses under his command to help him realize Li Xin's dream. What's even more frightening is that there are not many soldiers and horses in the Xuan Mansion. If Li Xin gathers a large army to attack the Xuan Mansion, he really doesn't know if he can resist it. Li Xin's attack.Similarly, he also believed that as long as he returned to Zhangjiakou and Xuanfu, he would mobilize troops and horses to immediately return to the grassland.He believed that at this time, the soldiers and horses in Li Xin's hands were caught off guard and would definitely not be able to resist his own attack.

"That's right, kill him back, you must kill him back." Cao Huachun said viciously: "Our family must cut off Li Xin's head to make a chamber pot." When did Cao Huachun suffer such a great humiliation.Now he probably hates Li Xin more than anyone else.

"Father, look, Li Xin is coming." Suddenly there was a sound of hooves from behind, and then Hou Gongji's terrified voice was heard.Hou Shilu and Cao Huachun also looked back, and sure enough, they saw cavalrymen coming from behind them. These cavalrymen held weapons in their hands and howled loudly.

"No, Li Xin is here." A terrified voice came, and the two looked over, only to see a guy in the crowd with a panicked face, it was either Wang Dengku or someone else.Unexpectedly, in the midst of the chaos, this guy could escape, which can't help but surprise people.

But at this time, everyone obviously didn't pay attention to this time. Behind them, Li Xin's army had already killed.If he didn't escape, he might become Li Xin's prisoner.

"This Li Xin is really hateful, have you forgotten that we are also Han Chinese?" Cao Huachun was terrified, turned to look at Li Xin's cavalry who was following him, and couldn't help cursing: "Why don't these guys go after Lin Danhan? He came after us."

"Elder-in-law, Li Xin's heart is too big. I dare to conclude that he is not only chasing us, but also Lin Danhan and the others." Hou Shilu said loudly: "If Li Xin came to hunt us specifically, he wouldn't just Sending such a small force, there will definitely be more troops chasing and killing us." It has to be said that Hou Shilu is still very clear, he knows that this is the best opportunity for Li Xin to expand his strength.

In fact, what Hou Shilu said was right. Compared with when Li Xin came, the Ming army would certainly pose a great threat to him, but as a composition of the Ming army, it was enough to reassure Li Xin. The Central Plains army is mostly infantry. Supplemented by cavalry, even the Ming army is the same. The number of infantry is far lower than that of the cavalry, including the army on the Nine Sides. After these troops entered the grassland, the logistical pressure was heavy. Not afraid of the Ming army.Compared with Lin Danhan, the threat to Li Xin is the greatest. Whether it is the composition of his army or the prestige on the grassland, it is enough for Li Xin to value Lin Danhan.So after the war ended, Li Xin left 1 people to clean up the battlefield, and the remaining tens of thousands of troops went to chase and kill Lin Dan Khan.

Poor Lin Danhan was defeated again and again, tens of thousands of troops were destroyed by Li Xin's powerful soldiers each time, and Lin Danhan fled in embarrassment.One chased it down until sunset, and Li Xin ordered people to gather the army and slowly retreat back to Perak Villa.

In the middle of the night, several miles around the Perak Mountain Villa became a sea of ​​joy, and Li Xin and his soldiers and horses were all immersed in the joy.In the big tent, Li Xin and the generals around him were even more smiling.

"How is it? The results of the battle have been counted?" Li Xin looked at He Kegang with a smile on his face.

"Returning to your son, because there are too many people captured, the results have not yet been calculated. However, according to preliminary estimates, there are about [-] imperial soldiers, more than [-] civilian husbands, and countless food and equipment. He Kegang thought for a while and said, "Note that the soldiers and horses of the various ethnic groups in Mongolia are still being calculated."

"My lord, I believe that after this battle, there will no longer be anyone on the grassland who will be my lord's opponent. Congratulations, my lord." Ju Tu stood up and said loudly.

"On the grassland, there are countless tribes. When the grassland is really unified, we can make a fuss." Li Xin waved his hand and said, "However, since Yuanzhi has already occupied Guihua City, we will set off for Guihua City tomorrow. .”

"Yes." The hearts of the generals were moved. They knew that this time they returned to Guihua City, it was probably their turn to reward their meritorious deeds. Didn't these people follow Li Xin for this purpose?

"That's right. Shen Fei, you go to see Hou Shilu tomorrow and tell him that the matter of me and him jointly dealing with Lin Dan Khan has come to fruition, and the heads of these Mongolian soldiers will be given to him as his military exploits." Li Xin thought for a while. Thinking about it, he said with a smile: "After all, it was Hou Shilu who helped us defeat Lin Dan Khan. We still have to give him some military exploits. The heads of these Mongolian soldiers are of no use to us. No matter what, His Majesty the Emperor will not do anything for it." I was promoted to a noble. So give it to them!"

"Hey, I don't know what kind of reaction Hou Shilu will have at that time." After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

"Hmph, my lord, this subordinate thought that they would take this opportunity to enter Zhangjiakou and teach the Eight Great Aristocratic Families a lesson." Yang Xiong said viciously, "This time the imperial army went deep into the grassland, the Eight Great Aristocratic Families must be behind the scenes. , I really think highly of us, if the lord is brave, I'm afraid we will be in danger this time."

"Yes, my lord, the main force of the imperial army has been lost this time, and the Xuanfu soldiers and horses can protect themselves. The defense in Zhangjiakou must be much weaker. My lord, this is a good time to send troops!" Chen Han also said. speak out.As soon as he finished speaking, he got the support of many generals present.

"No, my lord, this subordinate thinks that this is absolutely impossible." He Kegang stood up in the crowd and retorted, his face was serious, obviously he did not support this kind of plan.

"Oh! Why did General He say that?" Li Xin also asked curiously.

"The son is originally a Han. In the past, the son was able to defeat Jiannu and greatly increase the prestige of the Han people. This time he can defeat Lin Danhan, and he will be able to unify the grasslands in the near future, son. Once this matter is spread, the reputation of the son will definitely be heard in the world." Spread the word from the Central Plains. In the future, there will be a large number of talents who will come to join the general." He Kegang didn't even think about it, so he said: "All this is based on the fact that you think you are a Han, but you, if you attack After entering Zhangjiakou, it will be different. The literati in the Central Plains will regard the young master as a bandit, and the people of the Central Plains will also think that the young master is a foreigner. This will definitely affect the future career of the young master, and the imperial court will not allow it. If you do this, you can unify the grassland, but don’t forget, most of the resources on the grassland need the support of the Central Plains. My lord, do you still want to be the second Lin Dan Khan?"

"General He, the last general disagrees with this sentence." As soon as He Kegang finished speaking, Shen Fei sneered and said, "The eight great families have bullied us, so should we bear it? As for the imperial court, you still Do you think the imperial court can control the lord? Guan Ning’s iron cavalry is so powerful, but they were still defeated by the lord in the end. The nine sides of the Xuanfu are also elite, but they were also beaten by the lord and fled. There are slaves outside the court, and bandits inside. Internal corruption, treacherous ministers are in power, what can such a court do to us? Under the lord's iron cavalry, who dares to stop, at worst, break into the Central Plains and let the lord sit on the throne."

"Okay, Shen Fei, don't say such things." Li Xin frowned, waved his hands, and said: "What General He said is not unreasonable, our army is weak now, even if we unify the grassland , also needs the support of the Central Plains court, once the court is offended, it is inevitable that we will become the second Lin Dan Khan, this is not advisable in a short time."

"My lord is wise." He Kegang admired him very much. He didn't expect Li Xin to be so calm after a big victory. He knew what he was strong in, and he also knew what he needed.Only such a person can win the final victory.

"However, it's impossible for them to be so cheap." A sneer appeared on the corner of Li Xin's mouth, and he said lightly: "Yang Xiong, I will give you a character."

"My lord, please tell me." Yang Xiong was eager to try.

"Lead the army to Zhangjiakou." Li Xin said with a grin: "To deter him, I want the court to see that I, Li Xin, are not easy to bully. In the future, don't make trouble for nothing. If you want to trouble me, Li Xin, you have to be prepared. Prepare to be beaten. I, Li Xin, are not easy to bully. Hmph, if you don’t teach me a lesson at this time, no matter what kind of cat or dog will bully you in the future. How can I boldly attack the grassland in the future?” Li Xin’s eyes flashed with murderous intent But, said coldly.Everyone was silent for a while, even He Kegang was silent.

"My lord, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely teach Hou Shilu a hard lesson." Yang Xiong was overjoyed.
