Although his heartbeat was racing, Hou Xun still did not delay his business.
The generals also gathered around a few heads in admiration, and talked about it at the same time.
No one had seen what Amin looked like, although he had encountered Turg on the battlefield. But at that time Turg was wearing a helmet and was far away, so he couldn't see clearly at all.
So no one dares to confirm whether these heads belong to Amin or Turg.
But everyone understands that once it is true, it is a great achievement that has no boundaries.
Soon, in a hurry, several refugees from Liaodong were found.
"This is Amin Dabeile, that's right. I was captured by Xianglanqi and was whipped by him."
"Oh my God, has Turg been killed? This bastard burned our Zhuangzi and turned him into ashes. I even recognize him."
Several refugees from Liaodong cried out for help, but they also provided the most important evidence.
Amin, one of the Four Belles of the Later Jin Dynasty, was indeed beheaded.
All the generals went crazy and were jealous from inside to outside.
Why is this great achievement not his own?
You Shilu, the commander-in-chief of Fengrun, could not help but ask because he was a close confidant of Hou Xun: "General Commander-in-Chief, who killed Amin?"
Hou Xun had already recovered, twitching his beard and smiling, pointing at someone.
"Everyone is familiar with the fact that he is none other than Zuo Menggeng, the commander-in-chief of Linqing Xiehou Yingqian who defeated Zunhua before, and the Qilinzi of Kunshan."
Uh-huh...
In an instant, everyone turned to Zuo Liangyu.
Zuo Liangyu was stunned.
Never would he have thought that it would be his own son who killed Amin, Turg and other Tatar warriors.
"How is that possible? That little beast..."
Le Guochen suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Kunshan, with your great achievements, from now on...I'm afraid I will climb on top of you."
The rest of the people laughed, but also put away their thoughts that they shouldn't have.
Who doesn't know that Zuo Liangyu is Sun Chengzong and Hou Xun's double favorite general, so they don't dare to offend him easily.
What's funny is that Zuo Liangyu is the Dusi, and after this battle, he will be rewarded based on his merits, so he should be promoted.
But no matter what, can it be compared with Zuo Mengeng’s great power to shake the sky?
When the son-in-law climbed on my head, everyone couldn't help but smile.
After being jealous, everyone could only feel grateful for Zuo Mengeng's achievements.
Frankly speaking, during the entire Jisi Incident, the record and performance of the armies was a bit disastrous. No matter how much money came and went, there was nothing that could be done about it.
To this day, there are many complaints against them in the court and among the people.
Although the generals know it, they can't do anything about it. They know very well the virtues of their own army.
I would rather get scolded than dare to drag him out and confront Hou Jin.
Being scolded won't do anything, but fighting Houjin will kill someone.
Now that Zuo Mengeng has achieved such great military exploits, he can be considered one of them anyway.
With this skill, the infamy of the big guys can be alleviated a little.
While everyone was discussing, a guard ran in.
"Reporting to the General Administration, there is an army coming from the north, about a thousand people, under the banner of our army."
Hou Xun immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Hahahaha, this must be our President Zuo Qian coming back. Everyone, let's go and welcome the great hero."
Everyone responded one after another, each walking faster than the other. They all wanted to see if the person who killed A Min had three heads and six arms.
Wrapped in the crowd, Zuo Liangyu never recovered.
Although he has fought in several battles, he fought bravely every time and achieved a lot of achievements. But that boy did such a big thing without saying a word. Can he still show off the dignity of a father in the future?
No, Zunhua was also captured by him.
Ouch, this feat is so terrifying.
While thinking wildly, everyone came outside the city and happened to see an army approaching.
With just one glance, everyone felt compassion.
awful!
It’s so miserable!
There were more than a thousand horses, but all of them were injured, their clothes were stained with blood, and many people with broken arms and legs were being pulled on the cart.
But think about it, with just one battalion, they managed to kill more than 5,000 Tatars. It was a miracle that the entire army was not wiped out. It is only normal to suffer such losses.
The team was still a hundred meters away, when a general ran forward and dismounted neatly. His tall and mighty appearance made everyone cheer.
No need to ask, just by looking at his face, everyone knew he must be Zuo Liangyu's son.
In front of everyone, Zuo Mengeng did not dare to act recklessly, and obediently knelt down on one knee and performed a military salute.
"The last general, Zuo Menggeng, from Linqing Xie's rear camp, surrendered his life and returned. He lived up to the expectations of the General Administration. He went to Qingshui Pass and beheaded the captive chief Amin and others, and came back to regain his life!"
Seeing Zuo Mengeng, who was all injured, Hou Xun felt relieved and stepped forward to help him up.
"Good boy, really a good boy, you have given me credit."
Zuo Mengeng abides by military etiquette, but Hou Xun does not need it. As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed.
Everyone thought that Zuo Menggeng was just Zuo Liangyu's son, but at this moment, they saw that Hou Xundai was still above Zuo Liangyu.
The generals knew clearly that this was another person they couldn't afford to offend.
A person next to him came up and asked impatiently: "Mr. Zuo Qian, how many Donglu have been annihilated by your troops?"
Hou Xun made the introduction and was also one of the big bosses, supervising the military preparations for Zhang Chun.
Facing this gentleman, Zuo Menggeng was quite respectful.
Because this person is also a tragic figure in history, and his integrity is not compromised.
The next year, Zhang Chun led Wu Xiang, Song Wei and other generals to help the Daling River. As soon as the battle began, Wu Xiang ran away.
Zhang Chun managed to collect the defeated troops, set up camp, and took advantage of the wind to set fire to it, killing seven or eight generals of Hou Jin.
Unfortunately, it suddenly started to rain, and the direction changed. The situation was suddenly reversed.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Wei also ran away.
Zhang Chun and others were all captured and brought to Huang Taiji.
Zhang Chun would rather die than kneel down, saying: "A loyal minister does not serve the two emperors, it is a courtesy. If I am greedy for life, how can I be used?"
Hou Jin wanted to shave his head, but he would rather die than comply.
Since then, he has been imprisoned in Shenyang for ten years, always wearing Hanfu, never shaving his head, and adhering to his integrity.
Before he died, he even composed "Fu Er Song" which will be passed down through the ages.
"So that the soldiers learned about it, and the staff held the Qingshui Pass all night and fought fiercely until dawn. The Tatars were anxious to get out of the pass and had no other way but to attack fiercely. In the end, all the five thousand people were abandoned at the gate. Only Tang Gudai took him with him.
The few remnants probably escaped over the mountains and ridges."
Zhang Chun was stunned.
"Is this true?"
Zuo Mengeng was calm.
"Except for the heads of Amin, Turge and other slave chiefs who were presented in front of the army, the corpses of the rest of the Eastern captives have been collected and are now piled under Qingshui Pass. By the way, there is no one at Qingshui Pass now. Please ask the General Administration and the Military Constitution
Send someone to receive it quickly to prevent it from being taken advantage of by the Eastern captives."
Zhang Chun couldn't sit still and immediately said to Hou Xun: "General Secretary, I will go there myself."
Everyone knows that he went to Qingshui Pass firstly to receive the pass, and secondly to check the results of the battle.
The result of killing five thousand Donglu was so great that no one dared to believe it.
How dare you report it to the court without any conclusive information?
If it turns out later that he was just boasting about his military exploits, many people will be in trouble.
Although Hou Xun believed in Zuo Mengeng, he also felt that he needed to be more cautious.
"In this case, you order all the troops and horses, and we will go immediately."
After burning incense, Zhang Chun personally led 7,000 men and horses north to take over Qingshui Pass.
Only then did Hou Xun become concerned about the situation in the rear camp.
"How was your army's damage in this battle?"
Zuo Mengeng exaggerated the numbers.
"In this battle, our army lost 430 people and injured 380 people. Thanks to the loyalty and bravery of these civilians, and the great enlightenment of the former Qingshui Pass defenders. It is a pity that the Qingshui Pass defenders surrendered before, but later regretted it so much that they died to show their determination and repay your kindness.
, all died in battle at the top of the city."
Whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believed.
Hou Xun put on a sad expression and walked up to Da Jun. He first saw Mao Yuanyi with a hole in his chest.
"Mr. Mao also took action?"
Mao Yuanyi grinned bitterly.
"The fight was so urgent that I had to fight tooth and nail."
Hou Xun saw Huang Zongxi in the stretcher again and couldn't help being shocked.
"What's wrong with Tai Chong?"
Liu Yiyuan wiped tears at the side.
"During the hand-to-hand fight, Taichong had one of his arms cut off and is still in a coma. But he was fine. Lying on the ground, he cut off the Tatar's legs and bit the Tatar alive."
Hou Xun immediately said: "Hurry and carry Taichong into the city and let the best doctors treat him."
Everyone was puzzled as to why Hou Xun cared so much about a junior officer.
After Zuo Liangyu explained on the side, everyone was amazed.
The son of the world-famous Huang Zunsu, Huang Zongxi, who stabbed Xu Xianchun, actually went to the battlefield with the appearance of a scholar, and even killed the enemy and made meritorious deeds.
On that day, Hou Xun ordered the rear camp to rest in the open space to the west of the city. At the same time, he ordered the city to send food and supplies there, and wine and meat were piled up like mountains.
For an army that has made such extraordinary achievements, it is inevitable to reward them.
Zuo Mengeng and Liu Yiyuan followed Hou Xun into the city and needed to discuss follow-up matters.
"Father!"
It was only then that Zuo Mengeng had time to talk to Zuo Liangyu.
Zuo Liangyu came up and slapped Zuo Menggeng on the back of the head.
"You little beast, where have you been hiding these past few months and you haven't even received a letter? Do you know that I can't even close my eyes?"
Zuo Mengeng had no choice but to say: "Father, please forgive me, our department cannot communicate with the outside world out of confidentiality."
Zuo Liangyu's irritation was only momentary, but Zuo Mengeng stood well in front of him, and his mood soon changed.
When I thought of Zuo Mengeng's great achievements, I couldn't help but laugh.
"You brat, I didn't embarrass your father. This time, maybe you can get a title."
Zuo Mengeng complimented: "Isn't this child's ability taught by his father? If the child is knighted, his father must be even better."
When he said this, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
The ancients gave rewards, which meant that one person could achieve enlightenment, and chickens and dogs could ascend to heaven.
Especially in this situation where both father and son are bureaucrats, in a world where filial piety governs the world, the son cannot have a higher official title than his father, right?
then what should we do?
If Zuo Mengeng is really rewarded, then Zuo Liangyu will definitely reach a higher level because of it.
Others were married to their wives and their sons, but when it came to Zuo Liangyu, it became the father's role to take precedence over the son.
But Zuo Liangyu, a rough guy, doesn't care and has already begun to think about what kind of title he can get.
