Jiang Ruoxu sent a letter to Nanjing. The letter repeatedly comforted Han Tingzhi and expressed his interests, which made Han Tingzhi give up his plan to leave these Yan troops.

After reading the letter, Han Tingzhi recruited Lu Xiaoxian: "Xiaoxian, these Yan troops cannot be killed yet, and we are not ready to go to war with Yan State."

Lu Xiaoxian bowed his hand and asked in confusion: "Just let them go?"

Han Tingzhi smiled big and said, "Of course not. You continue to surround them. I believe Pei Ju will discuss with the envoy of Yan State and let Yan State get some blood!"

Lu Xiao listened first and then smiled slightly.

"Empress, we cannot put back the surrounding Yan army." Pei Ju stared at the Yan envoy's eyes and said lightly.

The messenger was stared at this and was still a little scared, but then he said anxiously: "Why are our two countries still allies?"

Pei Ju said lightly: "The Yan army had burned, killed, looted and committed many crimes in the city, so we cannot let them go."

The envoy was stunned. He didn't know whether it was true or not. Burning, killing, looting was indeed the tradition of the Yan army. After all, most of the Yan army had dealt with grassland people before.

But people must be saved, so the messenger said, "Can there be a way to make up for it?"

Pei Ju smiled and said, "It can be solved. Yan Jun needs to compensate some financial resources to comfort the victims."

The messenger was delighted, and he could solve the problem, so he said, "I don't know how much compensation is needed?"

Pei Ju looked at the envoy and said, "Just just need the Yan army in the city to leave their weapons, armor, and war horses!"

The messenger was shocked: "There are too many!"

The 150,000 Yan troops in the city are mostly cavalry, and there are 100,000 war horses alone. Adding the others is really an amazing number.

Pei Ju looked at the messenger, a trace of cold light appeared in his eyes, and said threateningly: "But if we leave these Yan troops behind, these are ours."

The envoy dared not say anything again, and hurriedly wrote a letter back to tell his Majesty.

...

Youzhou City, in the imperial palace.

Hong Zaixing looked at the letter in front of him, which wrote the conversation between Pei Ju and the envoy at that time.

Especially after seeing Pei Ju's threat, Hong Zaixing was a little silent and finally said, "Give it to him!"

It was not until the 150,000 troops in the city left their weapons, armor and horses that they were released from the encirclement. The group returned to Dayan under the guidance of the army sent by Dayan.

The Ming Dynasty was very happy and got more than 100,000 war horses in vain, and others.

...

Dingcheng, Zuo Houde's military tent.

Zuo Houde also got the latest military information and knew what was going on.

Especially when he knew the outcome of the army that attacked Liang State, Zuo Houde couldn't help but feel a little lucky. He didn't want to be surrounded by the encirclement. In the end, he had to leave weapons, armor, war horses, etc. to escape.

Of course, in Zuo Houde's opinion, it can be said that Da Yan did not take advantage of this battle. He originally captured Mobei City and Haocheng, but Haocheng was taken back by Lu Xiaoxian, while Mobei City was abandoned by Hong Zaixing when it formed an alliance.

On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty not only obtained the armament of 150,000 people from Dayan, but also swallowed the Liang Kingdom in one bite, and now it is considered a unified south.

The situation in the world is even more obvious now. Da Yan and Da Ming, one north and one south. Zuo Houde doesn't know who can unify the world.

Since ancient times, no world has been unified from the south, so it seems that the Yan Dynasty has a greater advantage, but Zuo Houde is also hesitant, because from this war, Hong Zaixing seems not as good as Zuo Houde thinks, and Han Tingzhi is better than Zuo Houde imagined.

Zuo Houde, who grew up in Youzhou, never doubted whether the Great Yan could unify the world, especially Hong Taibao, who was powerful in the Northern Di, and Yan King who recovered Yan Yun, and until Hou, who was brave enough to be the champion of the three armies.

The accumulation of the three generations was too deep, especially after Zuo Houde easily conquered Qingzhou and later unified the northern region, Zuo Houde was full of confidence in the Great Yan unification of the world.

But now Zuo Houde is a little suspicious of who can unify the world?

Of course, maybe this battle was just an accident, and Zuo Houde was thinking too much.

However, Zuo Houde does not intend to hand over the future to others. If the Ming Dynasty wins in the future, even if Lu Xiaoxian can save his life, his years of hard work will be nothing.

Zuo Houde intends to do one thing - centralize power. Yes! Zuo Houde wants to concentrate military power,

Before, Zuo Houde never thought of holding power tightly in his hands. Considering his age and achievements, Zuo Houde has always avoided his achievements and shocked the master, and even gave up all his power in Zhuo County.

But now Zuo Houde has doubts about whether the Great Yan can unify the world. Zuo Houde decides to control his own life. Even if Han Tingzhi really creates a miracle of pacifying the north from the south in the future, as long as he holds military power in his hand, he has room for operation.

...

In the end, this war that implemented the north and south ended with the Ming Dynasty unifying the south, Daliang surrendering and the country being destroyed, while Dayan retreated to the north.

Zuo Houde did not return to Youzhou because he was appointed. As the only Zuo Houde who made contributions in this war, Zuo Houde was awarded the reward.

"General Yangwei received the order!" A eunuch who was passing the order came to Dingcheng.

"I received the order!" Zuo Houde bowed.

The eunuch began to promulgate the edict: "Present General Zuo Houde, first break Haocheng, then Mobei City, and the fighting general Lu Xiao first boosts the morale of our army! He was granted the title of General Pingdong, guarding Dingcheng, and was given Mingguang armor, ten thousand taels of silver and three thousand hectares of land."

Zuo Houde smiled and thanked him.

"Thank you, my father-in-law." As he said that, Zuo Houde stuffed a ingot of gold to the old eunuch.

The old eunuch was happy: "Thank you to General Pingdong, the family."

After seeing off the eunuch, Zuo Houde's face darkened.

Now Zuo Houde has a little less impression of Hong Zaixing. Zuo Houde defeated Haocheng, Mobei City, and fought against Lu Xiaoxian. These achievements are more than enough for the second-grade rank, but now he is only a third-grade General Pingdong, and it is obvious that Hong Zaixing wants to suppress himself.

Of course, if Da Yan had not passed this battle, the unification of the world was right in front of him, and Zuo Houde could only endure it.

However, after this battle, facing Da Yan who is uncertain about the future and Hong Zaixing, who is not distinguished from rewards and punishments, Zuo Houde even planned to seize the power in his hand so that he could grasp his future.

Of course, the seizure of power starts from Dingcheng, which is also the best place. Before, Zuo Houde first broke Haocheng overnight, determined the north of Mobei with two arrows, fought against Lu Xiaoxian three times, and other deeds were all circulated in Dingcheng.
