"Brother, please go back to the Ming Dynasty with me. Omubu already knows your identity, and it is very dangerous for you to stay here." Li Guodong advised Li Hong to go back with him.

"Brother, you have not finished what you told me. This time, Yuetuo was not eliminated, which caused Dorgon to run away. This is my dereliction of duty. I must stay here and find an opportunity to kill Yuetuo! Based on my judgment of Jiannu, Yuetuo will definitely come to naturalize! As long as he comes, I will shoot him to death!" Li Hong refused to give up the task of assassinating Yuetuo.

"Brother, Omubu already knows that you are my person and stay with him. Do you have the chance to approach Yuetuo? This time Omubu also discovered that neither the Khalkhas nor the Chahars were reliable, and the Mongols' alliance was very unreliable. Most of them had the idea of ​​surrendering to Jiannu. As long as he wanted to surrender to Jiannu, you would have no chance to approach Yuetuo at all."

"As long as he comes, I will always have a chance to take action! Yue Tuo poses too much threat to us, and he must be eliminated. If the elder brother insists on going back, I will commit suicide in front of the elder brother!" Li Hong pulled out the knife and placed it on his neck.

"Good brother, let's go back to the Ming Dynasty first. Take care of yourself!" Li Guodong patted Li Hong on the shoulder.

The Jurchens came and retreated. Li Hong knew that Omubu would never dare to send him to Liaodong and hand him over to the Jurchens at this time. But the next time when Yuetuo came again, it would be hard to say whether Omubu would hand him over to Yuetuo. Li Hong knew that Yuetuo would definitely come again, so when he arrived, he would find an opportunity to take a risk and shoot Yuetuo.

Li Guodong led the remaining more than 2,000 troops, the bodies of his fallen comrades and more than 15,000 Jurchen heads to return to the Ming Dynasty.

"Great victory! Great victory! Jiannu's western expedition to Chahar, our Xuan Ming army attacked and intercepted, killing Jiannu more than 15,000 levels!" The messenger who reported the victory sent the victory to the Ministry of War in the capital.

Afterwards, trucks of lime-grained heads were sent to the Ministry of War.

"Really slave level!" said a small official from the Ministry of War after carefully checking the head level.

"It's a real slave!"

"It's still a real slave!"

"More than 15,000 levels, all are real slaves. No good at killing and no fake slaves, and no fake slaves, Mongolian Tartars!"

"A great victory! A great victory!" Liang Tingdong, the Minister of War, was so excited that he almost cried.

During the Chongzhen period, it was difficult to be a military official. Emperor Chongzhen replaced the chief minister with diligence, and it was even harder to be a minister of the Ministry of War. In just eight years, five ministers of the Ministry of War had died, and two were dismissed and imprisoned. Xuan Da had a great victory of 15,000 beheading. Liang Tingdong knew that he was a minister of War. Even if something happened in the future, he would lose his official position at most, and at least he could save his life.

The news of the Ming army's victory made Emperor Chongzhen's gloom over the past few years swept away. There were thieves inside and Jiannu outside, which made Chongzhen unable to eat well every day and sleep hard.

However, since the horse thief Li Laoer from the Frontier brought good news, he always brought good news to Emperor Chongzhen, defeating Jiannu three times and destroying the thieves once. Looking at the battle report of the victory, Emperor Chongzhen made a jar of wine for the first time, and sat in the study and drank two big bowls.

"Emperor, this Li Guodong is really a pillar of my Ming Dynasty! He defeated Jiannu three times, wiped out the bandits, and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't want much food and money from the court. He only asked for money from the head and never took the initiative to ask for military money. Your Majesty should add more rewards." Wang Chengen, who had already received many benefits from Li Guodong, spoke.

Although Li Guodong gave up 5,000 titles, he still had the extraordinary merit of beheading 10,000 titles. This was a real 10,000 titles of Jiannu. However, since the old slave's report, there was a great victory that had never been seen in many years of war between the Ming and the Jin Dynasty. Yuan Chonghuan blew the so-called Ningyuan victory, and the real slave's heads won were only 269. It was only Yuan Chonghuan boasted that the red barbarian artillery was shot and injured, causing the old slave to die. Jiannu died at the hands of Li Guodong, and the Jisi change beheaded 2,000 titles and killed a big Beile. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Jiannu entered the second time.

Kou and Li Guodong beheaded another five thousand real slaves and killed one little Beile. This time, Jiannu went to Chahar, although Li Guodong failed to capture one Beile, he beheaded more than 10,000. According to the head level, there were more than 17,000 Jiannu who died at Li Guodong's hands. In fact, it was far more than 20,000 enemies in the battle of the Hetao Grassland. The battle report Li Guodong reported was that he annihilated more than 25,000 enemies, but some of the bodies were smashed by cannons, some of the bodies fell into the Yellow River, and some of them were taken back by Jiannu, so he had to have only 15,000 head level.

"Parent Wang, but Li Aiqing is already the general of the general, how should I reward him?" Chongzhen asked.

"Emperor, please first make him the general of the country. When you make great contributions in the future, you might as well give him rewards one by one, one by one, and one by one." Wang Chengen replied.

"Cao Daban, what do you think?" Chongzhen turned to look at Cao Huachun and asked. There was no baron in the Ming Dynasty, so the general of Zhenguo went up again, and he was the Lord of Bo, Hou, and Duke. Since Li Guodong's great contribution this time can be granted the general of Zhenguo, and if he makes great contributions in the future, he will be granted the title of Lord. That's not a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty, I think, I will first be appointed as the general of the State with the advice of the prince." Cao Huachun replied. Wang Chengen was promoted by Cao Huachun. Since Wang Chengen had spoken, Cao Huachun naturally had no objection. In fact, Cao Huachun also got a lot of jewelry that Li Guodong respected Wang Chengen.

Chongzhen smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Li Aiqing has made great achievements in the Ming Dynasty, but I have never met him. I should summon him to the palace to meet the saint."

In Datong, Xuanfu, Yang Sichang was holding a banquet for Li Guodong.

"General Li, that Wang Quan is yours, right?" Yang Sichang asked suddenly.

"That's right, does Yang Duchen have news about my brother? I haven't had any news about him for more than half a year. He went to Lianghuai, and the bandits and bandits just happened to enter Lianghuai. I don't know what happened to the last brother."

Yang Sichang laughed: "General Li, don't worry, your little brother has made great contributions! The bandits attacked the camp and could not capture them for a long time. Wang Qianhu beheaded five thousand, killing the bandits' corpses everywhere. Even the bandit's head Zhang Kewang was almost beaten to death."

Hearing that Wang Quan had repelled the bandits, he was safe and sound, Li Guodong was relieved. After all, there were too many things in the Toutu City, which was a major base for his future development.

While talking, news came from the capital that Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict, and appointed Li Guodong as the general of the State and asked him to come to the palace to meet the saint.

"Duchen Yang, this is the first time that the last general has come to Beijing to meet the saint." Li Guodong was shocked when he heard that Emperor Chongzhen was going to summon him.

Yang Sichang smiled and said, "General Li, Your Majesty's edict, ordering General Li to come to the palace to meet the saint. Before, General Li has been excluded and has made great contributions repeatedly, but he cannot even enter the capital gate. Now Your Majesty wants to see General Li, which is his Majesty regarding General Li as a pillar of the country."

On that day, Li Guodong brought a hundred elite soldiers to serve as servants at night and set off in Beijing.

Ten days later, Li Guodong and his group arrived in the capital.

After arriving in the capital, Li Guodong found an inn and stayed for one night, preparing to enter the palace to meet the saint early the next morning. That night, an eunuch from the palace came to visit and explained to Li Guodong the precautions for meeting the saint, and sent the official uniforms and tablets for the court, and ordered him to wait outside Chengtian Gate the next morning.

The eunuch who came was named Fang Zhenghua, and he was also a big eunuch.

Li Guodong stuffed Fang Zhenghua a large 50-tall silver ingot, and then gave the two young eunuchs who followed him one by one, five-tall silver ingot, saying that he wanted to invite three father-in-law to have tea.

Fang Zhenghua took the silver and smiled with a smile on his face: "General Li entered the palace for the first time, and we will teach you some precautions." Then Fang Zhenghua patiently told Li Guodong some etiquette and precautions for entering the palace, as well as the position to stand after attending court. However, the next morning, a eunuch would come to lead him into the palace.

The next morning, Li Guodong rushed outside Chengtian Gate to wait. Han Dashan and other guards were not allowed to enter. Li Guodong himself stood outside Chengtian Gate and waited alone with the civil and military officials who were preparing to go to court.
