Man Gui glanced at Jiannu's camp and found that Jiannu was crowded near the camp gate and the wall. Although he was holding weapons, it didn't look like a normal combat state. "Old Hei, you lead a thousand people in and collect their weapons. I will hold you up."

Heiyunlong called people to ride a horse to approach the camp gate. Jiannu did not resist. Heiyunlong breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his subordinates to take over the camp gate. "Li Lutai? Are you Li Yongfang's second son?" Seeing that Heiyunlong was successfully recruited, Jiannu seemed to have no sign of resistance, so he focused on the Jiannu general kneeling in front of the horse.

"When I say to you, my father is Li Yongfang." Li Rutai quickly replied.

"Tell me what happened?" Man Gui was very curious. How could Jiannu, who had always been like a wild beast, surrender?

"Reply to the words of the master, I was ordered by the Five Beals last night to guard the Dongying Gate. After dawn, I went to the commander's account to pay the order. The Five Beals, Fourteen Beals, and Fifteen Beals were not there. I searched around and found that all the nobles and some of the Zhengbai Banner's White Flag's White Flag's White Flag's White Flag's White Flag's White Flag's White Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild Flag's Wild

Li Lutai was also confused. He only knew that the war horses were gone and the nobles of each banner had all ran away. As for why such a thing happened, Li Lutai had no time to think about it.

"Sir, are these Jiannu taking them back to the city or stay here?" Hei Yunlong quickly completed the task of confiscating weapons, took the prisoners, and came back to pay orders to Mangui.

"Please take it first, go back and ask Lord Zhou what he meant." Man Gui admitted that Zhou Shixiong was his boss, so of course he had to ask for instructions on such a major matter.

When Zhou Shixiong heard that the leader of Jiannu had all run away, he had a bad premonition in his heart. "Xiao Fang, take my imperial envoy's flag and go to Wuqing and Langfang to collect ships. I will meet you in Langfang."

"General Man, General Man, it seems that the situation is not good. We must transfer as soon as possible. I am afraid that those escaped Jiannu will bring in rescue soldiers." Man Gui and Hei Yunlong felt a stern in his heart. Although they defeated Manguertai's pursuers, Datong Bing and Changping were also exhausted. If Manguertai really brought a Jiannu cavalry, the victory he got might have flew away.

"Mr. Zhou, just say what you should do." Man Gui immediately expressed his opinion, following Zhou Shixiong's arrangements. Heiyunlong nodded repeatedly and became a very competent background prop.

"The two generals, together with Sun Zhaolian, escorted Jiannu to Langfang, and left four teams to protect my official. I must organize the evacuation of the people of Xianghe, and cannot give Jiannu a chance to vent his anger." Zhou Shixiong thought very carefully. The army withdrew from Xianghe, which left empty defense. If Jiannu reinforcements came, they would definitely vent their anger with the people of Xianghe. This was not what Zhou Shixiong wanted to see.

After seeing off Man Gui and Heiyunlong, Zhou Shixiong called the county magistrate and issued a retreat order for the whole city. The county magistrate struggled for a while, and Zhou Shixiong personally wrote a decree to him to help him resist the crime of poor protection of land. Originally, Zhou Shixiong was still a little worried that the Chinese people had always been attached to their hometown, and there was resistance to the execution of the order to retreat. Unexpectedly, Xianghe City lifted the ban and opened the four gates, and a large number of people left the city from the south gate and the west gate, and spontaneously started the escape journey.

When Zhou Shixiong led the special forces to Langfang, a small half of the prisoners of Jiannu were not on board. "Sir, the officials got news from Wuqing County that a group of Ming troops robbed large merchants in Dong'an County. The magistrate of Wuqing County hoped that the Lord could send troops to wipe out these riots." Fang Zhenghua collected enough ships and also brought a small request.

"What's the difficulty? Sun Zhaolian, you led Changping's righteous courage to escort Jiannu to Lugou Bridge to get off the ship. I led the cavalry to Andong Daxing to Lugou Bridge to wait for you." Although Fang Zhenghua collected a large number of ships, there were not many large ships that could carry war horses. In view of this, Zhou Shixiong arranged for division of troops, infantry took boats to ward prisoners of war, and cavalry took land to suppress bandits.

In order to avoid trouble, Zhou Shixiong asked Founder to take a boat with Sun Zushou. Because Sun Zushou's official position was too small, it was hard to say that something bad would happen if he encountered other soldiers who served the king. Zhou Shixiong always thought about the bad things. He firmly believed that people's hearts were evil!

Not to mention Sun Zushou and Fang Zhenghua returned to Beijing by boat. Zhou Shixiong led a super luxurious cavalry team with two horses to head to Dong'an County. According to the captain sent by the Wuqing County Magistrate, these Ming troops who harmed Dong'an County all spoke Shanxi dialect. They did not like ordinary deserters, robbed the big merchants and fled into the mountains and forests, but instead set up camp near the old road of Wuding River.

"General Man, since you are from Shanxi, please send someone to ask. If you want to be exempted from punishment and surrender quickly, don't blame me if you resist stubbornly." Zhou Shixiong did not want to waste time on these rioters. He was very worried that Sun Chengzong would not be able to defend Tongzhou. If Tongzhou was lost, his people might be stopped by Jiannu outside Beijing.

"Thank you, Lord Zhou, please go there personally and see if those shameless guys ruin the reputation of Shanxi people!" Man Gui is a Meng person and Heiyunlong is Huiren. Both of them are not considered authentic Shanxi people. Man Gui has been in the army in Datong since he was a child and has a great sense of belonging to this place in Shanxi, so he was really angry!

General Man's anger was not a joke. More than two thousand cavalrymen roared with him. In less than an hour, more than one hundred soldiers were captured. "That's just a few people?" Zhou Shixiong was very surprised. Only more than one hundred people could make such a loud noise. Could it be a special forces soldier?

"There are more than 300 people in total. The thieves were almost running away when they saw the opportunity, and only caught so many." It seemed that Man Gui did not surrender at all, and directly sent cavalry to crush him. Zhou Shixiong did not want to argue with Man Gui, so he ordered the leader of the riots to come over.

"What's your name?" The leader of the chaotic army in front of him was tall, thick and powerful, and he looked like a Lix type.

"When I say it to you, the little one is called Hao Yongzhong. The little one is not their leader, the little one is wronged!" Although Hao Yongzhong is like a rough man, he is quite flexible in his mind. When he sees Zhou Shixiong, he immediately shouts for injustice.

"How can you betray the law?" Zhou Shixiong likes tall and strong men. With a little tuning of this material, he can create a powerful general brother, which is much better than those shorter men in Guangxi.

"Sir, the young one is just a flag-holder. The leader is Li Hongji, who and his nephew Li went to Daxing to find out the news, but they have not come back yet." Hao Yongzhong poured out all the knowledge. It turned out that these scattered soldiers were the King of Rescue led by Shanxi Governor Geng Ruqi and General Zhang Honggong. Zhou Shixiong was amused and laughed. Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong led 5,000 Shanxi elite soldiers to the capital. The Ministry of War sent them to Tongzhou on the first day, and transferred them to Changping halfway. Before they arrived in Changping, they asked them to go to Liangxiang. Three places were changed in three days. According to the Ming army regulations, foreign troops did not open grain on the first day of the station. That is to say, let the King of Rescue from Shanxi eat themselves.

The food brought by the Shanxi soldiers had already been eaten up. They originally planned to endure it and would have food the next day. Unexpectedly, when they changed to three places in three days, they still had no food to eat when they arrived in Liangxiang. Of course, the soldiers were very dissatisfied with this treatment and made noises to ask for money and grain. According to Hao Yongzhong, it was the general manager named Li Hongji who proposed to borrow grain from the grain merchants near the military camp, and returned the food and money after they paid it back.

That's it, when the five thousand soldiers were scattered everywhere to borrow grain, the merchants who refused to borrow grain had a conflict with the soldiers who did not intend to return it. The matter was heard by the court. Two days later, the court sent the Jinyiwei to capture Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong, and was imprisoned for the ineffective military management. The Ministry of War did not receive any criticism. The Shanxi Qinwang Army, who received the news, was in an uproar, and the entire army fled overnight. Most of them fled back to Shanxi, burning, killing, and robbing all the way.

Li Hongji always had a lot of ideas. He took more than 400 of his subordinates to Shanxi, but instead came to Dong'an County to settle down. After the news calmed down, it was better to join other troops to support the king's army. Whether it was a crime of making meritorious service or seeking another way out, it was better than to be a bandit on the charge of desertion.

Man Gui originally hated these rioters who corrupted the reputation of the Shanxi border troops. After hearing Hao Yongzhong's confession, he was very sad. This brave Mongolian man had this kind of emotion for the first time. He put himself in his shoes and thought about it. What would he do if he encountered this situation?! Man Gui didn't dare to say that he would never make trouble, nor did he dare to guarantee whether he would become a deserter.

Zhou Shixiong stood up and walked to Hao Yongzhong, stretched out his hand to pull him up. "Since Li Baron is not here, you little flag is of course the leader. Let's tell your brothers that I pardon your deserter crimes, and those who have participated in the robbery of the people came out to confess their guilt and beat them fifty whips."

Yu Jiaao and Lu Hong came over to carry Hao Yongzhong away. Zhou Shixiong turned to Hei Yunlong and said, "General Black, go and collect some big chariots, put all these scattered soldiers on, and send someone to the place where they camped to set up a sign, which means that the official has pardoned their crime of desertion. If he wants to join the army, he will go to the capital to find the Datong army. If he wants to go home, he will disperse himself."

Man Gui and Hei Yunlong were very happy. Zhou Shixiong handled the chaos in this way, which was much better than they imagined. The two bowed deeply to Zhou Shixiong, and then went out to do business separately.

Zhou Shixiong finally replenished his energy these days, so he simply went to the place where the riots were imprisoned to treat them. These are all elite troops in the border army, and one more equals one more combat power. At the same time, Zhou Shixiong also wanted to know more details of the Liangxiang mutiny. Hao Yongzhong might not dare to lie to him, but those who know different angles may not be comprehensive, so it is not harmful to ask more questions.

When he arrived at the yard where the rioters were imprisoned, Hao Yongzhong was reporting good news to his subordinates. Seeing Zhou Shixiong coming, he hurriedly called the rioters to kneel down and salute, "Greetings, sir, thank you for not killing."

"No need to thank me. If I don't kill you, I will leave your life to kill Jiannu. If I don't dare to kill Jiannu, I will hang it on the beam of the house by myself, don't stay and embarrass you." Zhou Shixiong gave these soldiers two options, one is to die and the other is to kill Jiannu. After waiting for a while, the soldiers did not respond. Zhou Shixiong smiled, "It seems that this is a difficult decision. So let me ask you a question. Are you afraid of death or more Jiannu?"
