"My name is Yan Fei." After looking at the broken legs, Yan Fei lit a cigarette and stuffed it into Liu Fangliang's mouth. "This time you lost in my hands. You participated from beginning to end, but I really beat you and you didn't use any conspiracy. What else do you want to ask now?"

"...Dog Official!" Liu Fangliang, who was biting a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Yan Fei blankly. After thinking about it, there was really nothing to say. He defeated himself in a straight field. If he lost, he would lose. What else can he say at this time?

"Call medics." Yan Fei raised his hand and patted Liu Fangliang on the shoulder, and said, "Healthy heals his injuries and don't die. It will definitely be of great use to bring them back to the capital."

The Battle of Quyang came to an end, and more than 200,000 refugees were defeated and scattered. One-third of the more than 30,000 old battalions under Liu Fangliang's core forces were shot dead when they first met the battle, and the other third were shot dead when they fled, and the rest were all captured.

The most elite team of more than 2,000 horses were almost wiped out, and only less than a hundred people were captured with their commander Liu Fangliang.

The Ming Dynasty's official army fought with peasant troops from all over the country for many years, and many of them won various great battles. However, there has never been a victory like Yan Fei that could annihilate the real main force of the peasant army at one time.

There were refugees everywhere, but the core soldiers and horse teams were the main force. This battle not only caused great damage to the vitality of the Chuang army, but also at least it was damaged.

"It's really the bandit leader Liu Fangliang!!" When Yan Fei brought his army and many prisoners back to Baoding Prefecture, Ni Yuanlu looked at Liu Fangliang who was imprisoned with shock.

"Isn't this very important?" Yan Fei ignored the many Baoding Prefecture officials around him, with extremely envious and jealous eyes in surprise. "The key point is that I won, Liu Fangliang's main force has been wiped out. Baoding Prefecture is safe now."

Ni Yuanlu was really shocked. He always thought that he would die when he came here this time, and never thought that he could win and that he would be such a brilliant victory!

Although it shows that the army has been lying about military information all year round and even killing good people to make achievements, this time it is different, because Yan Fei brought back so many prisoners to prove his strength. As for the court's usual practice of using the head to record merit, Yan Fei did not have the evil taste of having to cut off his head even if he died.

"Okay, okay!" Ni Yuanlu nodded excitedly and said, "Zihouzhen is an important official of the country! This great victory will surely make the Sacred Heart happy!"

Yan Fei nodded with a smile, but he didn't agree. He had money and army and did not care about the emperor, but he only needed it now.

That night, the best restaurant in Baoding Prefecture held a banquet, and many officials from Baoding Prefecture held banquets here to celebrate Li Feng and Ni Yuanlu.

The civil officials maintained the usual habit of emphasizing literature over military affairs in the Ming Dynasty officialdom, and they were all chasing Ni Yuanlu for Yan Fei. As the supervisor, Ni Yuanlu would definitely be valued after returning to the court after winning a great victory this time, so of course she had to flatter her.

The officers at all levels of Baoding Prefecture were all surrounded by Yan Fei, and they were flattered and toasted, which was very lively.

Although Yan Fei's official position was only a guerrilla general, he was no less famous than the deputy commander of the Five Army Governor's Office than He Wenlong, the general of Baoding. What's more important is that Yan Fei can fight. Hundreds of thousands of rebellions were defeated by Yan Fei in a battle. Of course, he had to flatter such a general, and he might need someone to help him in the future.

Of course, these people have another purpose to find Yan Fei.

"General Yan." He Wenlong smiled and held the wine glass toast again. "This time General Yan's great power is really admirable. I will give you another cup to the general."

Yan Fei frowned and looked at He Wenlong with a smile. This guy kept toasting him all night and was just scattering money. He would definitely not believe that he really admired him.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Yan Fei picked up the wine glass and did not drink it. Instead, he looked at He Wenlong with calm eyes and asked about his true purpose.

He Wenlong paused, then looked at the civil servants who were still reciting poems not far away, and lowered his voice softly, "There is a reluctance to ask for him. I wonder if General Yan can add the general in this battle report? It would be even better if he could share some military achievements and heads."

Yan Fei sat on the chair and looked at He Wenlong with contempt, "I'm not your father, why should I take care of you?"

He Wenlong's face turned purple when he was angry, but he was helpless. Yan Fei said nothing wrong. Why do they give you military achievements?

"I am willing to offer ten thousand taels of silver with tattoos, and I would like to ask General Yan to fulfill his wish!" He Wenlong gritted his teeth and took out his bargaining chips.

Yan Fei sat quietly, holding a wine glass with one hand and tapping gently on the table in front of him. The sound made He Wenlong nervous involuntarily.

He Wenlong and Yan Fei were not familiar with each other, and he had never even heard of this person before, so he naturally had no friendship. He didn't know what Yan Fei's personality is. It's not nice to say that such things as dividing the military achievements. If Yan Fei turned against him, he didn't know how to end it.

"Not enough." Just as He Wenlong was nervously waiting for a response, Yan Fei suddenly said this softly.

"Ah?" He Wenlong was stunned and looked at Yan Fei without understanding.

"I said it's not enough." Yan Fei narrowed his eyes and looked at him. "Ten thousand taels are too little, at least fifty thousand."

"..." He Wenlong looked at Yan Fei blankly. He regarded Yan Fei as a fool, but unexpectedly he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

In the following time, the two had a friendly exchange on this matter. After a fierce debate, the deal was finally sold at a price of 35,000 taels. Yan Fei also appointed him not to have silver but only gold.

He Wenlong raised his hand and touched the sweat beads on his forehead. When he was arguing with Yan Fei just now, he felt that he didn't look like a general, but like a shrewd businessman.

Of course, this money was not paid by He Wenlong alone, but by the garrison generals of the entire Baoding Prefecture. Only after they paid the money would they be joined in the military newspaper and become participants in the war and gained military merits. This kind of thing was very common in the late Ming Dynasty.

When you expect such an army to defend your country, there will definitely be no hope.

After Yan Fei's victory was reported to Beijing, the officials in the court's first reaction was that they did not believe it. After all, how could more than 10,000 people fight against hundreds of thousands of troops and destroy their opponents? Could it be that they were all Aotuman? And it was over in just a few days. Under normal circumstances, the army that was not enough to go to war in these few days should arrive in Baoding Prefecture!

Although there was a detailed report on the battle report and even said that Liu Fangliang was arrested, the officials in the court still did not believe it. They all believed that Yan Fei and Ni Yuanlu lied about military affairs and shouted that the emperor would issue an order to punish him. These people have not given up on Yan Fei's property.

Emperor Chongzhen really hoped that the war report would be true, but over the years, too many deceptions on the front line made him have the same idea as the officials of the court. He was also hesitating whether he wanted to issue an order to punish him.

Fortunately, at this time, the low-level officials who were taken care of by Yan Fei some time ago and were sent to Yan Fei to speak for him. Although their official positions were low and there were many people, even the cabinet bosses were unwilling to offend so many subordinates. So this matter was a stalemate.

When Yan Fei brought his army to escort many prisoners of war back to the capital, all the debate disappeared into a full of shock!

It actually won!?

The officials inspected by the Ministry of War were all experienced. They could naturally distinguish whether those prisoners of war were captured as good people or real elites who broke into the enemy. As for the big rebels like Liu Fangliang, the news was soon confirmed.

The emperor was ecstatic. He had not received any news of victory for too long. The officials in the court were shocked and they couldn't understand why Yan Fei won even if they wanted to break their heads. The people in Beijing cheered and finally they didn't have to suffer a military disaster.

The next thing was simple. The prisoners of war were taken over by the Ministry of Justice. Liu Fangliang, as a well-known bandit leader, was convicted of lingchi. As for the various swords, guns, swords, halberds, shields, firearms and horses seized by Yan Fei in this battle, were taken over by the Ministry of War. Of course, all the gold, silver and jewelry were directly detained by Yan Fei.

The reward from the emperor was soon given. Ni Yuanlu, who was the governor, directly promoted the prince's prince, and the Grand Secretary of Jianji Hall became the second assistant. At the same time, he still served as the Minister of Revenue. Originally, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to grant him the title, but Ni Yuanlu refused on the grounds that the rebel army was heading towards the capital.

Yan Fei, on the other hand, jumped directly from the guerrilla general of the Shenji Camp to the deputy general. The left governor of the Five Army Governor's Office has not changed. General Dingyuan's general's title was promoted to the second-rank general of Dingguo, and then he was given the title of Prince Shaobao.

Of course, with the empty finances of the Ming Dynasty at this time, all the salaries and rewards that should be paid were arrears. Only Emperor Chongzhen gritted his teeth and sent a batch of imperial wine and meat to fill the storehouse.

Although Yan Fei became the deputy general of the Shenji Camp, he had no way to intervene as an outsider. The Shenji Camp was still the previous Shenji Camp. The only difference was that Yan Fei's official position was promoted. In fact, there were no soldiers registered by the Shenji Camp under his command. Those soldiers who were trained by themselves were actually servants supported by Yan Fei for his own money.

Of course, Yan Fei didn't care about these people. After arranging the personnel to recruit soldiers from the refugee camp again to expand the team, he came to the place where he bought it for a large-scale renovation before participating in the opening ceremony.
