Cao Song and his party watched the battle a few miles away from the battlefield. Obviously, from the beginning, the flying cavalry artillery shot and pressed the Manchus on the bank of the river with fierce firepower. With the addition of twelve pounds of field artillery and howitzers, the entire Manchu camp was beaten to pieces. And the cavalry on both sides of the Sir River were wandering. Whether the Manchus charge or escape, they would be driven and shot by them. This was simply a hunting battle. With the absolute advantage of cavalry and artillery, it was impossible for anyone to escape from this battlefield.

There was only a cavalry team of less than 100 people monitoring Cao Song and others. From the thick smoke rising from the distant forest, it can be seen that Li Jundu was not worried that this equally elite cavalry would intervene in the battlefield, whether as an ally or an enemy.

At noon, the weather actually warmed up, but it also caused the scattered snowflakes to turn into wet and cold sleet. The snow particles hit the iron armor. If it weren't for the cloak and leather jacket, the rain would have trampled these soldiers of the empire. As the humidity increased, a fog filled the battlefield, and it was difficult to distinguish the people and horses after thirty or fifty steps. In the haze, Pei Yuanqi heard the shouts of killing and horse hooves from the battlefield, and kept going away. But soon after, two fire dragons lit up in a valley in the northwest, followed by the sound of explosive gunshots like beans.

"It must be the Manchus who took advantage of the fog to break through and fell into the ambush of the great prince's army." Cao Song said to Pei Yuanqi.

Shahni grinned: "In this way, the battle will be over. Compared to being a turtle in the camp, the Manchus came out to die and made the battle easier."

The three of them were discussing, and a cavalry that was monitoring them came to the front. The leader was a Hu man. After dismounting and saluting, he asked, "Do you guys and the cavalry behind you are the army of His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire?"

"We belong to the empire's General Dingbian Manchus, who are here to pursue the rebellious Manchus." Cao Song said immediately.

The cavalry nodded and said, "If you are the commander of the army, please follow me. If you are not, please tell your commander of the army, and say that my master wants to meet him."

"Who is your master?"

The cavalry leader said: "Of course he is the elder brother of His Majesty the Great Emperor, the regent of the Bukhat Khanate, the protectors of many ethnic groups such as Kazakhstan, Pashtun, Uzbek, and the projection of the gods on earth......... His Highness Li Jundu."

Listening to these strange titles, Pei Yuanqi wanted to laugh, but Cao Song pinched his arm. Cao Song coughed lightly and said, "I am Cao Song, the appeaser general of Yili, and also an old acquaintance and classmates of the eldest prince. Please take me to see him."

The cavalry leader did not limit the number of Cao Song and his party, and did not even let them untie their weapons. He brought a group of hundreds of cavalry to the mound where Li Jundu was. From here, most of the fog in the surrounding battlefield had dissipated, and there were still remains of the battle on the battlefield passing by - weapon fragments, broken corpses and broken limbs, dense horse hoof prints, and the artillery that had just retreated, rain hit the cannon barrel, steaming.

Li Jundu was wearing the uniform of an ordinary officer, sitting on the stool under the banner, posing a churning pot in front of him, and was snatching the meat from it with long chopsticks. When he saw Cao Song and his group coming, he didn't get up. He looked at him and saw Pei Yuanqi hiding behind Cao Song, and said, "Yunqi, you have a promising future, and can actually come here."

When Pei Yuanqi met Li Jundu, it was a mouse and a cat. The one who was a playboy from a family like them was Li Jundu the most feared. Whether in the base camp or in the capital, Li Jundu had ten thousand ways to cure these playboys. Although the two were very different in age, Pei Yuanqi still couldn't raise his head in front of Li Jundu.

"Big Prince, hehe, I'm just a fox and a tiger's power. What's the point of being successful?" Pei Yuanqi responded carefully.

Li Jundu looked at Cao Song again, looked at him carefully for a while and said, "We seem to have seen this general, what do we call him?"

"The last general Yili appeases General Cao Song." Cao Song said honestly.

Li Jundu nodded slightly: "In the martial arts lecture hall, you were one level older than me, so you are considered a senior."

"I dare not take it as the last one."

Li Jundu waved his hand: "Since they are all old acquaintances, there is no one who dares to be or not. Just sit there and use some with me if you don't eat."

How dare Cao Song and Pei Yuanqi relax so much? Cao Song did not sit down and asked carefully: "Grand Prince, how could you fight with the Manchus?"

Li Jundu put down his chopsticks and thought about it carefully for a while: "This is really a profound question. Well, as far as I know, since Lao Nuerhaci, we Han people have been fighting with Manchu for a hundred years. My father has been fighting with Manchu all his life, and has also taken Manchu as an enemy. It seems that fighting with Manchus cannot be considered a problem.

The two tribes have a hundred years of blood feud, and tens of millions of lives are inside. It is a reasonable fight."

Pei Yuanqi smiled and said, "Grand Prince, we have heard that the Manchus want to be loyal to you. After Xuanye's death, they traveled thousands of miles without fear of bad weather and went south to serve."

Li Jundu nodded: "Well, that's the case."

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Pei Yuanqi could only ask, "I also heard that you have already recognized Xuanye's eldest son, Aisin Jueluo Baoqing as his adopted son, and are preparing to marry Xuanye's widow Nara. I wonder if it is true or false?"

Li Junduo smiled and asked back, "Do you think it's true or not?"

Pei Yuanqi's white and tender face turned red in an instant, and beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down. How dare he answer? He was afraid that he would provoke Li Junshi and would not dare to stop him if he slashed himself with one knife. Pei Yuanqi wanted to slap his big mouth hard, why did he ask this guy if he was a slut?

However, Li Jundu did not speak ill of harsh words, but ordered the servants around him: "Go and present my adopted sons, brides, and those Manchu slaves who are willing to hold my horse and whip for me."

"Come on?" Pei Yuanqi and Cao Song were both puzzled. Just as they were about to ask, a group of servants came up with trays. Each tray was covered with a bloody head, both men and women, and their expressions before death were either grinning or terrified. Dozens of heads looked very cunning. Pei Yuanqi had never seen these things. He covered his mouth and forced himself to spit it out.

"You are still so unpromising. You are far worse than your father." Li Junduo snorted coldly and said.

Pei Yuanqi nodded repeatedly, and Li Jundu said: "I don't agree to the Manchus' requests. How could that idiot Fei Yanggu bring the entire clan and army to this flat land to recognize me as slaughtering?"

Li Jundu knocked casually, and a slightly old head rolled down. He said, "This is Heshelisone. He was killed by Fei Yanggu. Just watch, Fei Yanggu's head will be here in less than a day."

If Fei Yanggu hadn't come, the Manchus would not have had organized resistance, but the resistance they had done was just a mantis arm to chariot. At this time, the battlefield had become much quieter, and the prisoners were locked with ropes. Cao Song asked: "Grand Prince, how are you going to deal with the Manchu tribe?"

"All men who are higher than the wheels are cut off, and women and children are distributed to the soldiers who are successful." Li Jundu said casually while eating the meat in the pot.

This is the law on the grassland, which was very popular in the Genghis Khan era, but this behavior is rarely used in the empire that regards itself as a civilization. Cao Song frowned and said, "Grand Prince, you are extermination of the clan."

"How can this be considered extermination? In the appeasement zone below the Lifanyuan, the Manchu clan must have a hundred or eighty thousand. The Manchu clan is still fine." Li Jundu replied casually.

As Li Jundu said, there were indeed many Manchurian Banners under the Lifan Yuan of the Empire, especially the two appeasements in Jilin and Ningguta. Although there were no Manchuria, there were also Manchuria leaders and Manchuria genitals. Together, they could organize eight Zhasaks and more than 12,000 households. Of course, these so-called Manchuria are completely different from the Eight Manchuria Banners in the past.

Cao Song said: "You do this to really damage your reputation."

Li Jundu was distracted: "So what? I can't be the emperor of the empire without losing my reputation. Or are you worried that it would damage your emperor's benevolence and sage? Haha, I am not a military commander of the empire. There are only one Han people under my command, and all kinds of mixed people gather. What's wrong with killing people and extermination? This has always been done on the grassland.

Of course, it is understandable that you can't stand it. Let's give you a chance to pay a million taels of silver. I will sell these slaves to you as animals to show my brother's kindness. Or you can tell him that Fergana will be given to me so that I can have fertile land to reward meritorious ministers, so that I will not have to give them slaves and women."

"We can't decide this. We have to go back and ask General Chen Ping for instructions." Pei Yuanqi said angrily.

Li Jundu said, "Chen Ping? He can't make the decision either! So, there are at least 10,000 heads rolling here today."

Pei Yuanqi and Cao Song stopped talking. Li Jundu clapped his hands, and several servants brought another box. Pei Yuanqi and Cao Song were authorized to open and inspect. When the two opened it, they saw that there were several dragon robes and seven or eight jade seals inside. They were all used by the Qing Dynasty. Li Jundu said: "You take these things back and give them to my emperor brother. By the way, the ugly thing inside is also the imperial seal of the Yuan Dynasty. It was stolen by Dorgon from the Chahar people and gave them to you together, which can be regarded as an end to this war with Manchuria.

There is also a bow, which is said to have been used by Huang Taiji, with the power of two stones. I didn’t expect that the fat man had such strength. A pair of golden armor was passed by Xuanye. You can take it back and take it to Zhaogui for me. It is my father’s intention. Of course, let me show it to the emperor first, otherwise it would be bad for my son to surpass the rules and pass the rules."

"Yes, yes, it will definitely be delivered, it will definitely be delivered." Pei Yuanqi did not want to argue with Li Jundu about the details, so he accepted them directly.

Li Jundu picked up the chopsticks and started eating again. The atmosphere became quiet and mysterious for a while. Cao Song and Pei Yuanqi didn't know what to say. After a while, Li Jundu raised his head and said to the two: "If you have nothing to do, go back. Why? I have nothing to do and stay and chop off the head for me?"

"No, I dare not. The eldest prince did not give me any other orders, so I went back." Cao Song wanted to leave quickly. He hurriedly asked someone to carry the box, pack the head, and was about to leave. Pei Yuanqi stopped. Cao Song quickly pulled his sleeve. Pei Yuanqi said with a smile: "General Cao, you go back to the camp first. I haven't seen the eldest prince for a long time. I want to stay and get close to you."

Cao Song didn't understand why, but thought that Pei Yuanqi was both a close minister of the emperor and a member of the Security Bureau, and he also mentioned the Supreme Emperor on the way. He thought that there must be something secret, but he didn't want to get involved, so he left after a few words of advice.

Li Jundu thought for a while and said, "I still remember that the first time we met was in the Children's Fun House in the Imperial Palace in Beijing. You did Junhua a favor. He allowed you to play crazy for a day. The third brother thought you had stolen his stuff and came to me crying. When you saw me, it seemed like you had wet your pants, right?"

"You are worried about this matter. I have been out of luck since I was a child. You know." Pei Yuanqi chuckled, not feeling embarrassed at all.

"Who cares about you? I mean, a guy who sees me wet his pants, has any reason to get close to me in this snowy and ice. You kid will let go of your words." Li Jundu said.

Pei Yuanqi looked at the people around him and said, "It's about that gentleman agreement. Didn't you mention the Fergana Basin just now?"

Li Jundu nodded slightly, waved his hand to signal the generals to retreat, and then entered the warm tent with his frozen snot and sloppy Pei Yuanqi.

The gentleman agreement between the father and son of the Li family is an undisclosed secret. Only a few people can know, and Li Jundu's subordinates and important officials of the empire knew. This agreement has always been implemented very well. For example, after Li Jundu gained a foothold in Samarkand and quickly defeated the Bukhara Khanate, he did not destroy the country. Instead, he established a puppet regime in Samarkand, supporting a child as a great khan, and himself serving as a regent. After completion, he immediately asked the Bukhara Khanate to pay tribute to the empire, and legally included the land in the river as the territory of the empire.

But in fact, the land in the river is still the territory of the South Asian Development Company, and the Lifanyuan has no jurisdiction at all, and the trade and commercial entry and exit are no different from those in foreign countries.

According to the gentleman agreement, after Li Jundu led his army to rush through the Khyber Pass and opened up the situation in South Asia, the core area of ​​his power, the land in the river, and some areas in Afghanistan will be completely ruled by the empire. Of course, this method is redemption, which ensures from a geopolitical perspective that there will be no land power that threatens the empire in the mainland direction, but obviously, Li Jundu's career has not yet reached that point.
