Half an hour later.
The battlefield has come to an end!
Bright red light fills the night sky.
On the rugged land, the Ming army cleared the battlefield efficiently and orderly.
This huge war involving a total of 150,000 people ended with the Ming Dynasty's victory.
Specific casualties have not yet been calculated.
…
…
Wow...
The fist bones were covered with sticky blood scabs, and even after pouring the entire water bag, they were not cleaned.
Li Kui breathed a long sigh of relief and simply sat on the ground, looking at the long queue of prisoners in the distance, and more of them were rotten corpses scattered all over the battlefield.
Artillery shelling, horse charging, and the lingering smell of gunpowder smoke and rust in the air rushed into the nostrils.
Suddenly a sentence came to mind: One general's success will lead to ten thousand bones drying up.
That’s probably it!
While in trance.
"Li Kui."
Li Kui turned his head and looked, and it was Zhu Zhanji riding his horse with a smile on his face.
He didn't get up either, he just cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness."
"Snapped."
Zhu Zhanji put his feet on the ground, which was slightly soft. He looked at Li Kui and asked with a smile, "Are you not injured?"
Li Kui shook his head: "No, thanks to the armor sent by His Highness."
"Hahaha, as long as you like it."
Zhu Zhanji didn't care about Li Kui's cold attitude, but it was this difference that made him always think highly of Li Kui.
Of course, something like this must be based on extraordinary strength!
"It's over now. Come back to Peiping with me!" Zhu Zhanji said directly.
"good!"
Li Kui nodded in agreement at first, and then changed the subject: "It's just that, Your Highness, I can't go back with you."
"Huh? Why?"
Zhu Zhanji frowned.
"I still have some things to resolve in Liaodong, so I need to leave a few days later."
"Okay, I'll meet you in Peking."
"Thank you, Your Highness,
"Your Highness, what are those people going to do?"
Li Kui slightly raised his chin and pointed towards the mighty captives in the distance.
"oh."
Zhu Zhanji looked at the past, his smile suddenly turned cold, "Of course they were taken to build the Great Wall, build rivers, and build palaces, and make the best use of them. Anyway, I can't ask anything from them."
Li Kui nodded and said nothing.
Immediately afterwards.
Zhu Zhanji clasped his hands behind his back, still looking at the battlefield in the distance, with great pride in his heart, "Li Kui, you are really my champion."
Hearing this, Li Kui couldn't help but be stunned.
The focus is not on the champion, but on the fact that Zhu Zhanji compared their relationship to Huo Qubing and Liu Che.
Quite interesting.
He said: "Your Highness is so complimentary!"
"Eh."
Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and warned:
"But don't wait too long. There are only a few days left this year. You have to get to Peking before the first day of the first lunar month!"
"good!"
Li Kui raised a smile on his face and nodded in response.
In any case, he has now successfully achieved his original goal through the big tree of Zhu Zhanji, and the latter's identity can provide a lot of convenience.
After all, only one month has passed in half a year, which is still plenty of time and gives Li Kui the confidence to complete the task.
"Let's go, there are people here who will take care of the aftermath."
Zhu Zhanji got on his horse.
Immediately, the two left the battlefield.
…
…
A few days later.
The influence of the Battle of Shilka gradually fermented to its peak.
The 100,000 troops of Wala and other tribes annihilated nearly 60,000 people and captured 30,000 prisoners. What a fruitful result!
The powerful wind and waves blew from Liaodong to Beiping.
As the commander-in-chief of this time, Zhu Zhanji’s reputation is described as skyrocketing, which is not an exaggeration at all!
What matters most is his identity.
The emperor's grandson!
The future prince, the future helmsman of the Ming Empire!
The threshold of the temporary residence that was temporarily used for rest was almost broken by tramples. There was an endless stream of invitations to visit from the old and new military generals' families. Unfortunately, the emperor's grandson was not received by all of them. I don't know what to do in hiding.
At the same time, the whole of Liaodong was filled with joy.
When it comes to hatred of grassland barbarians, the people of Liaodong are undoubtedly the highest!
The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty back then; the Oara Tatar and other tribes now, the hundreds of years of hatred are not just talk.
The vast snowy day.
Teahouses and restaurants are a lively scene.
…
…
At this moment.
The gate of Liaodong Fucheng.
Hundreds of armored officers and soldiers lined up neatly and solemnly.
The common people in the distance could only stand on tiptoes and look out, unable to see clearly what was going on inside. They just heard that the emperor's grandson was going back to Peiping.
In the center, two fiery red tall exotic beasts, nearly two meters tall, with strong four hooves, resemble horses, and thick white mist is sprayed from their nostrils.
Behind them was a huge carriage made entirely of steel.
In the open space next to the car, the two were having a conversation.
"Your Highness has a long journey, please pay attention to safety."
Li Kui was dressed in regular clothes and bid farewell to Zhu Zhanji.
"Well, when you get to Peiping, come to me with this jade pendant."
Zhu Zhanji took off a delicate jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Li Kui, with a red character engraved on it.
"Okay." Li Kui reached out and took it.
The wheels moved slowly as the whip cracked with loud air bursts.
then.
Li Kui watched the huge motorcade leave the city gate and gradually disappear from sight.
Immediately, he weighed the jade pendant twice and put it into the Hutian space.
Next, it was time for the banquet.
At that time, Gongsun Yu wanted to invite him to dinner, but Li Kui never forgot it.
After tonight, he would also leave Liaodong Mansion. He would first clean up the place where Ji Yuan and Liu Rufu hid their treasures, and then set off for Peiping.
…
…
At that time, the wind was chasing the clouds, and in the blink of an eye, the sun was setting in the west.
Li Kui took advantage of the fact that it was still early and walked around Liaodong Mansion.
It’s a chance to enjoy a rare leisure time.
You must know that as a popular person in front of Zhu Zhanji, Li Kui's small courtyard has been busy these days. Later, he really made him impatient, so he simply found an inn to rest, and his ears were somewhat clear.
Li Kui is currently heading to a place called Maple Leaf Lane.
On the road, from time to time, you can see children playing Cuju and shouting through the streets and alleys, their cheeks red from the cold, but the smile on their faces does not diminish.
The haze of war brought about at the beginning of the year was finally washed away by the victory.
Not long after.
"Knock knock knock..."
Li Kui came outside a courtyard and knocked on the door.
"coming."
A gentle female voice reached my ears.
The wooden door was slightly open, and a pretty face came into her eyes. She looked at Li Kui with some confusion, and then she seemed to think of something and asked:
"Are you Li Kui?"
"right!"
Li Kui looked at the woman and smiled.
"Yu's leg injury hasn't healed yet, so it's not convenient for him to come out. Please come in quickly." The woman opened the door and turned sideways.
"Don't be so polite, just call me Li Kui."
Li Kui said and walked in.
'It seems that we are really good friends, the calls are very affectionate. ’ he thought a little gossipily.
This is also the time.
"Qing'er, is Li Kui here?"
Gongsun Yu's voice came from inside the house, and soon he saw him walking out with a wooden cane, and he quickly raised his hand excitedly to say hello:
"The big red man is coming to the door. Please come in. Please come in."
Hearing this, Li Kui couldn't help but laugh.
Although Gongsun Yu had many calculations on his mind, he still had an innocent heart and was willing to make this friend.
After all, I come from a big family. If I didn't have some calculations in my stomach, I'm afraid I would have been eaten to the point where no bones were left!
