Wang Shiyang had the intention to stop these hot-blooded fools. However, the news reported by the scouts in the surroundings was indeed fruitless. Based on his personal suspicions, he would not allow the army to go north for long.
In the end, Wang Shiyang also believed that the Northern Barbarians were indeed short of food. Now that they were powerless and at the end of their rope, it was a good opportunity to counterattack!
How could he not want to make a great contribution and return to the capital to be a comfortable capital official?
Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, how should he choose?
In the end, Wang Shiyang could not defeat his own desire. He chose to counterattack in the north and launch a comprehensive counterattack. He moved his headquarters forward, first to Yangqu, then to Xinzhou to command the entire counterattack in Xinzhou.
In terms of troops, he left 20,000 people and a deputy general to guard Taiyuan. The rest of the troops went north to counterattack and recover the lost land.
The attack of the Northern Barbarians ended in Yangqu. Then they retreated and were chased by the Ming Army from Yangqu to Dingxiang. Then, the vanguard of the Ming Army, led by Wei Zhen, killed their way out of Dingxiang. They rushed all the way to Wutai and finally caught up with the bodies of the Northern Barbarians at Wutai.
Yes, bodies were everywhere. The Northern Barbarians who were killed until there were only 5,000 people left were completely annihilated at Wutai. The reason was that they encountered Li Rusong's cavalry. They ran into them head-on and were surrounded by the ecstatic Li Rusong. They were completely annihilated and blood flowed like a river. Not a single one survived.
Wei Zhen was furious.
Where did the barbarian army come from? How dare you steal my credit? I chased them from Yangqu to Wutai. How many brothers died in battle and how much lost land was recovered? I fought them until they were at the end of their rope. How could you bastards steal the fruits of my labor?!
Wei Zhen was very angry. He led the army to find trouble with Li Rusong. He confronted Li Rusong, who had just killed people and was full of vigor.
"Where did this thief come from? My army chased the Northern Barbarians all the way here and you dare to steal my credit! Which army are you from? Tell me your name! "
Wei Zhen had come looking for trouble with this unfamiliar cavalry unit in a rage. He might have thought that these people were Yulin Forest Cavalry that didn't listen to his commands, so he was a little lax with his words. Then he saw the sturdy, tower-like Daming's Number One Man, Li Rusong.
When he first saw Li Rusong, Wei Zhen had a bad feeling. This was because this person's aura was too terrifying. It was very different from the generals he was familiar with in Yulin, Shanxi. Moreover, these cavalry … were too swift and fierce.
He even saw some knights dressed differently from the Han Cavalry. Immediately, a phrase popped up in his mind.
Then he suffered a calamity.
In front of his subordinates, Li Rusong reached out and grabbed Wei Zhen's neck, lifting him up forcefully.
"Don't you know who I am? Look carefully, my surname is Li, and my name is Rusong. I am the Liaodong Army Commander, Li Rusong! "
The moment this name rang out, the Ming Army that had come with Wei Zhen to cause trouble all retreated in fear. They took a few steps back and looked with fear at Li Rusong who was showing off his might.
Li Rusong! A person's name was like a tree's shadow. Daming's Number One Man, how valiant was he!
Wei Zhen had actually offended him. He was someone who even dared to beat up an Imperial Inspector!
Li Rusong was very arrogant. Especially after winning a big battle, he was full of vigor. He would make a move at the slightest disagreement. He swung his hand and threw this small character who was kicking around to the side. He shouted angrily, "Who do you think you are? How dare you shout at me! You really don't know death! "
As he spoke, the hot-blooded Li Rusong was about to draw his sword and kill to establish his might. He had done this many times. He roared and was about to swing his sword at Wei Zhen. Wei Zhen was lying on the ground, unable to move. Seeing that the sword was about to strike down, his eyes were filled with fear and despair.
However, this sword did not strike down, and no one died. This was because this sword was blocked by another sword.
"Who dares to block … I … I … Admiral!"
The moment Li Rusong saw Xiao Ruxun, he immediately regained his senses. He quickly kept his sword and stood still with an awkward expression.
"Li Rusong, when can you change your bad temper? They are comrades, not Northern Barbarians. I don't care if you kill Northern Barbarians. You can kill them however you want and it will be considered military merit. However, can killing comrades be considered military merit? Fighting among comrades is a disgrace and a violation of military rules! Remember! Seeing that you have violated the rules, I will not punish you. However, this will not happen again! "
Xiao Ruxun did not say that he was going to punish Li Rusong. Li Rusong heaved a sigh of relief. If he was punished here, he would lose face.
"Yes! I know my mistake! "
Li Rusong admitted his mistake.
Xiao Ruxun kept his sword and looked at the black mass of frightened Ming Army. He then looked at Wei Zhen who was lying on the ground and panting. He bent down and extended his hand to him.
Wei Zhen was still in shock. He looked at Xiao Ruxun who extended his hand and was at a loss.
"Are you stupid?"
Xiao Ruxun looked at Wei Zhen. Wei Zhen did not speak.
"You are a general. Just now you dared to take the lead and show off. Now you are stupid?"
Xiao Ruxun extended his hand and pulled Wei Zhen up. "Which division are you from? Why are you here? "
Wei Zhen still looked at Xiao Ruxun in a daze. He did not know what to do.
Li Rusong took a step forward and slapped Wei Zhen's head.
"The Admiral asked you a question! Why don't you answer?! "
Wei Zhen recovered from the slap and roar. He took a few deep breaths and looked at Li Rusong. He then looked at the general who could command Li Rusong. His heart was full of doubt and relief.
"I, General Wei Zhen of Shanxi, General Yang Qu. I was ordered by Xuan Governor Wang Shiyang to chase after the Northern Barbarians. May I know who you are?"
"Commander of the Imperial Border Pacification, Commander of the Army, Marquis Zhennan, Xiao Ruxun."
Xiao Ruxun reported his name and then asked doubtfully, "You just said the Northern Barbarians who escaped? In other words, the Northern Barbarians who went south were defeated by you? Then they escaped to this place. Only these people are left? Did you win the battle? "
Wei Zhen was dumbfounded again. He did not hear the latter question.
Xiao Ruxun? Marquis Zhennan, Xiao Ruxun? That Xiao Ruxun who fought fiercely? Wasn't he at Shi Town in Myanmar? Why was he here? But if it was him, then Li Rusong's actions made sense … Oh my, this was the number one general of Wanli? He was back?
Xiao Ruxun saw that this guy did not speak again. Instead, he looked at him with an interested expression. He felt helpless. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Wei Zhen.
"General Wei! I'm asking you a question! What are you looking at so intently? "
Wei Zhen finally realized his impoliteness.
"Ah! Admiral, please forgive me! Admiral, please forgive me! I was distracted! "
"What distracted? I'm not a monster! Did you just say that you chased the fleeing Northern Invaders all the way here? The Northern Barbarians who went south to Taiyuan were defeated by you? You chased them all the way here and the last few thousand were defeated by Commander Li. Does that mean the battle is over? "
