Soon, the crowds of people on the opposite side were getting closer and closer.

Li Xiao clearly saw that all the people came were cavalry, about eighty cavalry, holding a red-bottomed and black-lined "Zu" flag, all of which were covered with helmets and armor, with bright red cloaks, and looked extremely energetic. The man in the middle was wearing a luxurious mountain armor. He was extremely majestic. He rode a tall horse and led the cavalry toward Li Xiao.

"Li Baihu, the person who came was Zu Kuan, the deputy general, and next to him was his servant captain Hou Shangde." Mo Changrong saw it clearly and whispered to Li Xiao.

Now that the captain of the sentry cavalry team is Gao Pu, Li Xiao has become the leader of everyone, and his subordinates are not good to call him the deputy team anymore, but now the sentry cavalry team is dead in name only, and it feels awkward to call himself the captain. So, as if he had made an appointment, his subordinates began to directly call Li Xiao Li Baihu, which is the most natural thing.

After hearing Mo Changrong's words, Li Xiao said oh.

Zu Kuan, Mo Changrong has been so desperate to ask for help but refuses to send troops. Now that the battle has been over, why are you going to take your own team of servants?

Li Xiao immediately ordered the entire army to suspend its advance and wait for Zu Kuan and the others to come.

Zu Kuan and others were getting closer. Li Xiao saw this man with a heavy mouth and a wide chin, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, wide back and bear waist, and a standard general appearance.

Around 20 strolls from Li Xiao's entire army, Zu Kuan and others held back the reins. The servants immediately saw the Tartar heads stacked like hills on an empty grain truck.

Hou Shangde looked hot-eyed, and his face was sharp and vicious. He looked at Li Xiao and others opposite him coldly, then lowered his voice and said to Zu Kuan: "Sir, I didn't expect that these guys would kill so many Tartars' heads and return, so it's better..."

Hou Shangde made a right hand chopping action and looked at Zu Kuan with a bright look.

Zu Kuan glanced at him, then shook his head gently, and said lightly: "We are ashamed of fearing the enemy but failing to save us. Now we are going to take over his military achievements. If this is spread, how can I, Zu Kuan, have the face to gain a foothold in Jinzhou?"

Hou Shangde darkened his face and dared not say much. At this time, Zu Kuan gently rode the reins of the horse, took a few steps forward, and shouted to Li Xiao and others: "Which part of Zu Kuan, a certain family is from?"

When Li Xiao heard the sound, he turned over and dismounted, knelt down to Zu Kuan and bowed: "Li Xiao, a hundred households guarding general in Zhongtun, Xiaguangning, will meet with the assistant minister."

"Oh, it turns out that you are Li Xiao. Last time, Magistrate Zu held a promotion banquet for you, and a family went to Ningyuan. He had never been here. Now he saw you, he looked heroic."

After Zu Kuan finished speaking, he also got off the horse. He reached out to help Li Xiao and asked him to get up. Then he looked at everyone and said loudly: "Li Xiao, have you gone to pursue the Tartars who attacked our whistle cavalry just now?"

When Zu Kuan spoke, his aura was majestic and Lin Lin felt a sense of oppression. After hearing this, Tian Wei, King Yishou and others felt a sense of trembling. However, Li Xiao remained calm and did not change his face. Seeing Zu Kuan ask, he calmly told Zu Kuan how to help him, and how the battle just now proceeded, and briefly said to Zu Kuan.

After listening to Li Xiao’s story, Zu Kuanhou Shangde and his servants all showed incredible expressions on their faces.

This Li Xiao actually killed all 43 Tartars with this small cavalry team of more than 30 people. His combat power is a bit too powerful.

In fact, Li Xiao's entire army only killed more than 30 cavalry Tartars, but Li Xiao deliberately attributed the little achievements of Gao Pu's whistle cavalry team to himself, thus making his military achievements more oppressive to Zu Kuan.

In Liaodong, a place where wolves are fed around, Li Xiao's bluffing behavior can sometimes make him feel more secure.

Just like now, if you give in a little, it is difficult to protect Zu Kuan and others from relying on the large number of people to seize their military achievements.

Don’t rely on others to offend me, but don’t rely on me to offend me.

Zu Kuan and Hou Shangde pondered for a moment, then immediately went over to check the head level together. The two of them opened the snow on the head level and carefully examined their scalp, braids, teeth, and expressions on their faces were even more shocked.

These heads are all real Tartars! Li Xiao did not do anything to kill good people and make achievements.

Zu Kuan suddenly felt a little fever on his face.

Especially when he saw Mo Changrong, who had reported to him, was throwing his cold eyes at him, he felt even more guilty.

Compared to the so-called generals who are as greedy and cruel as there are as many as ox-haired, Zu Kuan is a rare person with a little conscience.

At that time, after Mo Changrong left, Zu Kuanyuan wanted to leave the matter, but he still couldn't get over the conscience in his heart. Then, taking advantage of the storm of wind and snow, he took his servants to the battle place north of Daliu Fort Mo Changrong said to investigate.

In fact, Zu Kuan knew in his heart that doing this was just a little comfort to his conscience. When he left, the Tatars must have already killed the whistle cavalry team and then carried the grain team northward. Zu Kuan did not dare to lead his troops to pursue him. This time he went there, just to collect the corpses of the whistle cavalry who died in battle.

But unexpectedly, due to heavy snow, Zu Kuan and others had no one to lead the way, so they went astray and encountered Li Xiao's entire army who had returned from a war with the Tartars here.

Zu Kuan sighed in his heart, then patted Li Xiao's shoulder heavily and said loudly: "What a heroic young man! But Zu, I am really ashamed... Li Xiao, you have worked hard in battle, and I, Zu Kuan, will never compete with you for the merits of this bloody battle. General Zu will return to Jinzhou the next day, and you can report your merits by yourself."

"General Gao Yi, I respect him very much." Li Xiao bowed again.

Zu Kuan helped him up and said to him with a smile: "Your battle must be exhausted now. Let's do this. The food team will be escorted to Damao Fort. You can go back early and rest."

"Thank you, Mr. General!"

Li Xiao bowed and said goodbye to Zu Kuan. Looking at Zu Kuan's smiling face, Li Xiao felt inexplicably warm and had a lot of affection for Zu Kuan. However, he felt strange in his heart.

Li Xiao read the history of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life and knew the fate of Zu Kuan.

In the following years, Zu Kuan would be sent into the pass, showing his skills in the battle to encircle and suppress the peasant army, and was eventually promoted to deputy general and general officer of the aid and suppression army. However, in the early 12th year of Chongzhen, when the Tatars entered the pass and invaded, they were afraid of the Tatars and dared not fight, and they delayed the attack on Jinan, which led to the fall of Jinan and was eventually beheaded by the court.

Zu Kuan, who is brave in combat and has made many achievements in military affairs, can be called a powerful general. However, he seems to be strong and fearless, but he often has a hesitant and contradictory side, which is a very strange thing.

It’s a pity that this human weakness ultimately led to Zu Kuan’s tragic ending six years later.

Li Xiao sighed in his heart that today's events are equivalent to a preview of the incident six years later. In a sense, Zu Kuan still has problems with his own side, but if he is just dominated by others, the effect may be much better.

I don’t know if I can change the outstanding general Zu Kuan, who was born into a servant from Zu Dashou family, and worked hard all the way, and his sad destiny that makes people sigh.

Li Xiao, who was sitting on the horse, silently watched Zu Kuan and his group escorting the grain team forward, and disappeared in the northwest direction.

Then, under the leadership of Mo Changrong, Li Xiao came to the place where the whistle cavalry team was destroyed by the Tartar whistle cavalry, and stacked the more than 10 frozen and stiff sway cavalry corpses with the original corpses on the food truck, and then brought them back together.
