Chapter 314: New Flattery
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"...
Li Dingguo led his troops to chase him, but he was not as fast as Kong Youde's horse. Seeing that he was chasing farther and farther away, the Qing army gradually disappeared from his sight. Li Dingguo was anxious and thought to himself: "The emperor has an order to not order the Qing soldiers to escape, especially Kong Youde, who will not care about his life or death, and will definitely keep him. If Kong Youde runs away, what will he face to meet the emperor?"
When I was anxious, I suddenly heard the explosion of grenades coming from the front.
When Li Dingguo heard this, he knew that he was his own person. He was overjoyed and quickly chased after him.
As soon as he turned a hillside, Li Dingguo was stunned: he saw that all the Qing soldiers were captured except for those who were bombed to death, including Kong Youde, and his red helmet fell to the ground, his hair was disheveled, his face and body were covered with soil. Beside him, his white horse was lying in a pool of blood, which had been blown up so much that his chest and abdomen were holed.
"It's over so soon? I tried my best but couldn't catch Kong Youde. How hard did it take? All the hundreds of people were finished? The power of this grenade is so great?" Li Dingguo thought blankly.
"Uncle Li, congratulations!"
Li Dingguo was thinking about something when he saw Jiao Lian riding his horse and immediately bowing his hand to congratulate him.
"General Jiao, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my master. No, General Jiao, why am I happy with me?" Li Dingguo then realized that Jiao Lian had expected that although he had many soldiers, he was not an opponent of Kong Youde, so he set up two ambush west of Longsouling.
"Kong Youde was extremely guilty, and he was the emperor's chosen criminal. Isn't it a joy to capture him in one battle?" Jiao Lian said lightly.
Li Dingguo was stunned and then realized that Jiao Lian was afraid that he would not be able to explain in front of the emperor and gave him credit.
"Hahaha... General Jiao is very kind. However, Li Dingguo is also an open-minded person and will not take advantage of General Jiao." Li Dingguo said with a smile.
Seeing that Jiao Lian was going to say something else, Li Dingguo hurriedly stopped him and said, "Stop talking about it. After capturing Kong Youde, I have given up all my worries. General Jiao, go to see the emperor together?"
Jiao Lian hesitated.
He knew that yesterday's incident must not be hidden from the emperor. When he went to see the emperor at this time, he would be scolded if he could not do it well.
However, if you can avoid the first day of the lunar month and not avoid the fifteenth day, just be scolded.
"Okay, I will go with the prince."
...
Li Dingguo and Jiao Lian returned to Longstop Ridge and the battle was over.
Kong Youde's escape and Li Chengyin's joining, the morale of the Qing soldiers was greatly affected. Feng Shuangli killed Shen Zhixiang, Ma Bao and Weng Ying joined forces to kill Zhuo Tai, Bai Wenxuan killed Jin Li. Seeing that resistance was meaningless, the remaining Qing soldiers had to kneel down and surrender.
After cleaning the battlefield, Ma Jinzhong excitedly rewarded the results of the war: "Master General, in this battle, he killed 4,300 Tartars, injured 1,500 people, captured 4,500 alive, seized 5,000 war horses, 100,000 stones of food and grass, 110,000 taels of gold, and 2,300,000 taels of silver. Our army killed 2,100 and injured 18,000."
Li Dingguo was overjoyed when he heard this. This was the biggest victory he had fought against the Shangqing soldiers.
As for the fact that the battle loss of the Qing army was five times that of the Qing army, he didn't care much. In his opinion, there were only one soldiers, and then another attack, not to mention five times, just a little more, as long as you win.
A miserable victory is also a victory.
What's more, he also killed famous generals such as Shen Zhixiang, Jin Li, Zhuo Tai, and Xu Tianchong.
After this battle, the left-road army he led should have shown his might and could also stand firm among all the powerful generals in the court.
Therefore, after hearing the war report, he felt extremely satisfied.
"Report the war report to the emperor immediately and make the emperor happy." Li Dingguo ordered excitedly.
...
The war went very smoothly. Except for some accidents in the battle at Longshuling, Zhu Youlang's intentions were basically fulfilled.
Geng Zhongming was killed by the bombardment, and Shang Kexi led the defeated general to flee in a hurry. He was attacked by Zhang Tongchang at Huyan Mountain. Cai Renxiong joined forces to attack. No Qing soldiers missed the net, and Shang Kexi was captured.
At the same time, Shang Zhixin, who took advantage of the chaos to escape to the mountain opposite Qilin Ridge, was also caught by the mountain army led by Duan Xing.
In addition, Kong Youde, who was captured by Jiao Lian, was arrested by "Sanshun King" and one was killed and two were captured.
...
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor! After this battle, the Qing soldiers will definitely not dare to look south. Our dynasty will usher in a relatively stable environment, which will help to free up time to develop people's livelihood and recuperate." Lu Daqi was so happy that the wrinkles on his face were piled into flowers, and he smiled and congratulated Zhu Youlang.
"Yes, when the war between Zhang Yuanzi came to an end, we not only regained the lost territory, but also entered a strategic stalemate with the Manchus. The revitalization of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner, which is really gratifying." Chen Zizhuang was also extremely happy.
As the earliest minister who came from the dragon, Chen Zizhuang finally tasted the sweetness and saw hope from the big cake that Zhu Youlang painted for him.
"The emperor is wise and powerful, with a far-sighted vision. The Qing court is a little bitch and can be destroyed just in the near future!" Huang Zongxi hurriedly said some compliments.
"The emperor is the god sent by God to save the Ming Dynasty. We ordinary people will benefit from it." Chen Jitai was not willing to fall behind and tried to say something nice.
Now he looks at his son-in-law, and he likes the more he looks, and loves the more he looks, and secretly feels proud of his insistence.
"Hahaha... I'll wear all my clothes, but I can't wear them! I feel comfortable listening to these words!" Zhu Youlang was so happy that he was praised by everyone, and felt that every hair was comfortable.
"Your Majesty, I don't agree with your words." He Tengjiao was also accompanying him. When everyone heard that he praised the emperor, he wanted to praise him, but he didn't have time to react. He asked them to say all the good words. When he heard the emperor's words, he felt a little moved and he quickly said seriously.
"Oh?" Zhu Youlang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw his serious look: "What do you mean? Others say a few nice words, are you still worried that I will be floating and unaware of the reason? He Tengjiao is not such a person with different worldly styles?"
"Yun Cong, just say something." Zhu Youlang straightened his body, wanting to hear what He Tengjiao said.
"Your Majesty, since Li Chuang captured the capital, Mr. Chongzhen was forced to die for his country, and the Qing soldiers took advantage of the situation to enter the pass. The Ming Dynasty was in turmoil and the building was about to collapse. At this time, Your Majesty was so talented that he turned the tide and helped the building fall. All the subjects in the world were happy and cheered up. Looking at history, no one except Your Majesty can be the right hand of Your Majesty. Judging from me, it is not an exaggeration to call Your Majesty the Emperor of the Eternal Emperor. What you said just now is all the heart-wrenching words. If you feel embarrassing, why does Your Majesty say it is a flatterer?"
Zhu Youlang was stunned and then laughed: "Okay, you He Yuncong, are you trying to make me happy?"
"Hahaha..." He Tengjiao smiled, and everyone agreed.
"I want to surrender, I'm delusional!"
At this moment, I heard someone outside the tent shouting loudly.
