When Li Qing arrived, the two sides were already fighting.
Without saying a word, he directly joined the battlefield.
The morale of the Ming army was already high, and with five thousand against three thousand, they firmly had the upper hand, completely overpowering the Tatars.
"Mother, why aren't you coming back?" Totto Polo gritted his teeth angrily. He couldn't guarantee that for others, but his direct troops should listen to his orders!
Shi Heng was also beating a drum in his heart, fearing that the Tatar army would kill him - Madam, Li Qipin, you have to hurry up!
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a familiar figure came into view.
Shi Heng took a closer look, wasn't it the Li Qipin he had longed for?
Damn it, where are the reinforcements? Shi Heng couldn't help being dumbfounded, but...he was beaten and the sound of fighting around him was loud. He didn't have the chance to ask, so he could only resolve the battle as soon as possible.
The reinforcements from the Ming Army did not arrive, and neither did the reinforcements from the Tatars. Both sides thought that their reinforcements would come, but it backfired.
Let's just leave it at that, five thousand against three thousand, the Ming army still has the upper hand.
The Tatars have been unable to wait for reinforcements, and their fighting spirit is getting weaker and weaker. However, the Ming army's morale is very high. Their reinforcements are infantry, so it is reasonable to arrive late.
What's more, they are already the dominant side.
When Totto Polo saw that the reinforcements were not coming, he knew something was wrong. He ignored his anger and immediately gathered his troops and ran away.
"Totto Polo——!"
A soft drink exploded in his ears, like thunder.
Totto Polo instinctively looked back and saw a set of snow-white teeth, which were extremely bright under the reflection of the sun, but made him feel hairy all over.
——Li Qing!
Totto Polo was shocked: Isn’t he on the grassland? Why is he back? óΠъ.oяＧ
As soon as the thought came up, Li Qing came right in front of him and slashed with his sword.
Totto Polo didn't dare to be careless at all. He already knew how outrageous Li Qing's force was, and he quickly blocked with his sword.
"Dang Cang——!"
The tiger's mouth was numb, and the scimitar flew out of his hand. Only then did Tuotuo Polo realize how big the gap between the two sides was. He couldn't even block the opponent's blow.
What he didn't know was that Li Qing had already held back. Otherwise, if the sword was struck, what would fly out would not be a weapon, but a human head and a horse's head.
"Want to run?" Li Qing smiled.
The next moment, he jumped up and rushed towards Totto Polo.
"Drive, drive, drive..." Tuotuo Polo's lips were trembling, and the horse's ass was almost bruised, but it was of no use.
It's not that the horse is weak, but that Li Qing is too fast. Before the horse can increase its power, Li Qing rides up.
"You...hiss~"
Totto Polo only felt the iron rod poking at his body, and then his whole body went numb and he couldn't exert any strength.
Li Qing chuckled, revealing his white teeth again, which fell into Totto Polo's eyes, but he was particularly frightened.
"Drive~"
Li Qing held him down and rushed out of the battle circle.
Then, he shouted in a deep voice: "Your grand master has been captured alive, why don't you surrender quickly?"
He said this sentence in the language of the grasslands, and the effect was extremely significant.
When the Tatars saw that the Grand Master was indeed gone, their remaining morale completely dissipated and they began to abandon their troops and surrender.
Li Qing saw this and shouted: "Shi Heng, Shi Biao, take them!"
His voice was very penetrating and could be heard clearly by everyone. Seeing that the Tatars had completely given up resistance, the two men also signaled the soldiers to stop attacking.
…
More than 1,700 Tatars were restrained from behind. The Ming army tied their hands with their belts and connected them with horse reins to form three teams, like candied haws.
Shi Heng left more than a thousand men to clean up the battlefield, and then led three thousand men to drive the Tatar prisoners back with Li Qing.
"Li Qipin, is he the Grand Master?" Shi Biao stepped forward and looked at Totto Polo. When he saw him glaring at him, he waved his hand and slapped him twice, "What are you looking at?"
"Don't you Han people say that a scholar must be killed but not humiliated?" Totto Polo's lungs were about to explode with anger.
"How can a prisoner do so much nonsense?" Shi Biao didn't give him any face, and rewarded him with two big mouths, "Mom, I'm going to beat you, what's the matter? I'm still a grand master, my name is quite famous. .”
"Okay." Li Qing rarely had time to relax and didn't want to be noisy anymore, so he stopped Shi Biao.
Shi Biao took back his hand and said with a smile: "Li Qipin, don't you think he deserves a beating?"
"?"
"You are called the seventh grade, and he is called the Grand Master, so he went directly to the first grade."
"..." Li Qing glanced at Shi Heng and teased: "Is your nephew not very smart?"
"Ang," Shi Heng's face heated up, "He was kicked in the head by a donkey when he was a child, so he is quite tough."
Shi Biao was anxious, "It didn't hurt your brain at all, okay?"
"..." Shi Heng explained helplessly: "My eldest nephew, Li Qipin is the nickname I gave him. What is his name...?"
"...Have you ever been kicked in the head by a donkey?" Li Qing rolled his eyes.
Shi Heng patted his head and said, "Oh, I remembered. His name is Li Qing, and he was in the seventh rank. We were not happy before, so I called him Li Qing."
After a pause, "Grand Master is a Tatar official position, not his name. His name is Tuttu Polo."
Shi Biao scratched his head and said humbly: "Uncle, why didn't you tell me before?"
"Call me Commander-in-Chief." Shi Heng couldn't help but correct him and said angrily: "You're not smart, why am I telling you this?"
"As I said, that donkey didn't hurt my brain." Shi Biao said angrily.
Shi Heng said with a smile: "Then you are born with a brain that doesn't work well. Is that okay?"
…
The war came to an end, and the Tatar Grand Master was captured alive. Li Qing was in a particularly beautiful mood, and even the bickering and quarreling between his uncle and nephew became more pleasant.
The last time Zhu Qizhen personally conquered the country, the Tatars suffered a lot of losses. This time they suffered a large number of losses, and the Tatar leader was also captured alive.
Now that Mu Zhuoer is gone, one can imagine the days after Tatar returns.
Li Qing can conclude that from now on, the grassland will have internal strife for a long time.
Ming Dynasty suffered considerable losses in these two battles, but it did not damage its fundamentals, and its fundamentals were not shaken at all.
The only thing that hurts a little is that the emperor has been changed, which has a great impact on Li Qing's layout.
He didn't understand Zhu Qiyu and was a little worried.
Although Zhu Qizhen is an imperial supremacist, he can basically seek common ground while reserving differences with himself, and almost all of his proposals are approved.
And Zhu Qiyu...he was unsure.
In the evening of the next day, the group returned to the capital.
The reinforcements would arrive only tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Even if the Tatars turned back at this time, they would not rush back. Yu Qian ordered the doors to be opened to allow the injured soldiers to enter the city to recuperate.
…
Three days later, news of the Tatars' escape reached the capital. Everyone felt relieved and their faces were filled with joy.
The officials were also overjoyed. They were responsible for Daming's job, and of course they didn't want anything to happen to Daming.
While celebrating, I am also planning for my future.
As a result, Yu Qian's family was sparse.
He no longer lives in Lianjiatun'er. Zhu Qiyu rewarded him with a large house and his family moved in.
The whole family was extremely happy, and even the servants stood straight and proud.
Only Yu Qian is unhappy. He knows that the temple is dangerous. If he is enjoying great glory today, he may very well end up with a steel knife tomorrow.
The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and his foundation was unstable. He had gained so much limelight, held so much power, and had so many people to make friends with. Any emperor would be suspicious of him.
Sharing adversity is easy, sharing wealth is difficult!
So he locked the door and no one could see him.
Lee Sin is also shut out, but he can jump over walls.
~
The lobby of the mansion.
The two sat opposite each other, and Yu Qian explained the current situation to Li Qing in detail.
"Sigh... I don't know, sir, but I'm really worried about living in this big house." Yu Qian smiled bitterly, "If I can refuse, I really don't want it."
"You deserve this, why don't you want it?" Li Qing smiled, "As for the issue of civilian officials leading the troops... this is a big deal. In the past, it was just a matter of urgency to follow the authority, but this matter cannot be confirmed. "
Yu Qian nodded: "Sir, do you have a suitable candidate?"
"It's not urgent. We have to see what the current emperor wants first." Li Qing said thoughtfully.
Yu Qian sighed, "Sir, do you know the news about the Supreme Emperor?"
"Well..." Li Qing shook his head slightly, stood up and said, "I have to go to the palace, there are some things to do."
"Are you returning the king's order?" Yu Qian asked, "I'll go with you. Mr. Mister has made great contributions to this battle, and the emperor must know it."
"Yeah... that's okay." Li Qing did not refuse.
Zhu Qizhen is too stingy. It is really difficult for a seventh-grade man to achieve anything.
Of course, if Zhu Qiyu can trust him as much as Zhu Qizhen does, it won't matter whether he is promoted or not.
Li Qing secretly sighed: Alas... I wonder what kind of character this new emperor is?
