In early winter, the wind was howling, and the snowflakes like fine sand danced with the wind. A lonely grassland wolf limped in the cold wilderness. The wounded and hungry wild wolf looked north from time to time, hoping to stay away from this dangerous place. The wind and sand quickly buried the wolf trails. Just as everything was avoiding the cold wind, the sound of thunder came from the direction of Hathwen in the north of the grassland. Thousands of black armored cavalry teams pulled hundreds of miles of horizontal lines to sort out every corner of the grassland. Thirty miles behind the cavalry scouts, a black flag and black armored army gradually covered hundreds of miles of white wasteland, and tens of thousands of box trucks followed closely behind the cavalry brigade. The scout cavalry team located in the front of the array pressed south with one man and three horses. They prepared horses to be hung with various hunted animals. The scout cavalry's march was the Hasensumu grassland four hundred miles away.

At this time, the Hasensumu grassland was also gathered. Zhang Ping'an, the head coach of the Pou Nu Army, led the main force of the central cluster to gather here to wait for the northern cluster army led by Deputy Commander Chen Zheng. An, who was sitting in the coach's tent, looked a little depressed. His thoughts could not be concentrated on the upcoming battle for a while. The candlelight in the coach's tent was swaying and dim. Zhang Ping'an specially told Qian Mingrong to light less candles, and he needed to hide his figure in the dark away from the lights. Zhang Ping'an, the head coach of the Pou Nu Army, was in a bad mood.

The reason is that Lu Ruge made a ruthless move in the late stage of the civil strife and suffocated Zhou Wei. The main reason why Zhang Ping'an handed Zhou Wei to Lu Ruge was his son Zhang Shangwu. Now that the power of his eldest son Zhang Shangde has disappeared, Zhang Shangwu is naturally understood by everyone as Zhang Ping'an's only inheritor, but what Zhang Ping'an is worried about is Zhang Shangwu's mother Lu Ruge. Lu Ruge's ability to win people's hearts is getting stronger and stronger, and Zhang Ping'an is afraid that after his death, Lu Ruge will attack other sons.

Zhang Ping'an, who is familiar with history, knows best that heroes holding heavy troops often fail to die well. The main threat comes from the strong women in the family. Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, pacified the world, and Queen Lu Zhi almost killed other vassal kings to consolidate her son's status. Zhang Ping'an had to guard against this bloody historical lesson. In Zhang Ping'an's view, all the women of the Lu family were cruel and ruthless characters, so he used Zhou Wei to test Lu Ruge's heart to the bottom.

How hard it was. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ping'an sent Zhou Wei to the General's Mansion that day. Less than an hour later, Lu Ruge ordered the servants to suffocate Zhou Wei with mulberry paper. Lu Ruge's quick knife to cut the mess, which made Zhang Ping'an see that Lu Ruge acted decisively. This was enough to make Zhang Ping'an judge that Lu Ruge was a figure like Lu Zhi. With this impression, Zhang Ping'an felt a little shaken in his heart about whether his son Zhang Shangwu could inherit his position.

The entanglement of Zhang Ping'an, the chief of staff, made Gu Xin very worried. Others were not clear about the inside story but knew the details. Lu Ruge failed to satisfy Zhang Lao Da in dealing with Zhou Wei. The main reason was that Lu Ruge was not very careful and did not understand Zhang Ping'an's true mentality. Gu Xin believed that Zhang Lao Da was bloodthirsty, but he was always grateful to the old brothers who followed him to fight. Lu Deyin's crimes would definitely be cut into pieces in the Ming Dynasty and would be implicated.

Among the nine clans, Zhang Ping'an not only gave Lu Deyin the entire body, but also protected Lu Deyin's two sons from being implicated. Lu Ruge was eager to love his son and quickly executed Zhou Wei to get rid of the suspicion of being accomplice Zhou Wei. It was obvious that Lu Ruge was upholding justice and avoided the suspicion, but actually exposed Lu Ruge's true nature to achieve his goals. If Lu Ruge was as happy as Zhang Ping'an, Zhang Ping'an would not only not be disgusted with Lu Ruge, but would leave a good impression of benevolence and righteousness.

As long as Zhang Ping'an had a rift against whom he would react from the arrangement. Zhang Shangwu was appointed as the deputy general of Ponucheng to assist Lu Xiangsheng in defending the area south of Rongcheng. On the surface, Zhang Ping'an still cultivated his son Zhang Shangwu as always, but Gu Xin believed that Zhang Ping'an was reducing Zhang Shangwu's chance to obtain more military merits. The Ponu army demonstrated its position in the army from bottom to top, and the Ponu army's greatest military merits came from fighting against Jiannu. Zhang Shangwu wanted to truly inherit Zhang Ping'an's status.

, you cannot miss the decisive battle against the Qing Dynasty, it is precisely because of this battle that Zhang Shangwu did not have the share. Zhang Ping'an brought his son Zhang Shangren this time, and appointed his son Zhang Shangren to the Eagle Camp as the military inspector. From Gu Xin's perspective, he believed that Zhang Ping'an trained Zhang Shangren. The matter of the old Zhang family was complicated. Although Gu Xin guessed that Zhang Ping'an was training Zhang Shangren, he did not dare to say it clearly. This involved a battle for the throne within the General Administration. If Gu Xin accidentally stood in the wrong team, he would probably end up like Lu Deyin.

Before the decisive battle began, the commander of the first army was not interested in fighting. Gu Xin, as the chief of staff, was very anxious. He led a group of staff members to enter the tent with a map. Gu Xin touched Zhang Dama's mind very thoroughly. Boss Zhang had a more peculiar habit of hearing the war. As long as he could attract Zhang Dama's attention to the battle, his worries would naturally dissipate. Gu Xinyi entered the tent and ordered the staff general to light all the candles in the tent, and followed the

Later, the combat staff integrated the map and the sand table in the commander's tent. Gu Xin was very busy in the commander's tent. While explaining the details of the map operation, he dictated the orders of the camp sites in each department. Gu Xin, the chief of staff, remembered in complex and organized things in his mind. Each battle camp arrangement and military fund mobilization can often blurt out. Gu Xin's busy figure in the commander's tent amused Zhang Ping'an in his contemplation. With Gu Xin, Zhang Ping'an can indeed save a lot of worry.

Zhang Ping'an endured this battle against the Qing Dynasty for nearly ten years. He always dreamed of completely extermination of the Jurchen clan. For this day, the generals and subordinates also prepared for more than ten years. The generals of the Slave-Destroying Army had to conduct dozens of deductions every year. The strategy of this battle has been revised countless times. It can be said that each combat staff is confident in the details of the battle. Gu Xin saw Zhang Ping'an's smile on his face and reported the military situation seriously: "Master General, in a few days, Deputy General Chen's main force arrived at the Hasensumu Grassland. His post planned to coordinate the Elephant Battalion of Zhang Youhe's army and Yan Cheng's army. The number of people in the war elephant battalion is too large, and the two war barracks can balance the forces!"

"Hey...hey...hey! You little guy is more and more pleasing to you. Jiannu women are not good-looking. If you catch a woman this time, don't worry about it. Then we will find a few beautiful Korean women. The dispatch of the Zhanxiang Camp will do what you said. For details, you can come up with a charter for me. I want to make some adjustments to dig out the Jiannu's lair this time. Chen Zheng's main marching was too hard, so why did you let Zhang Li come forward to the Eagle Camp and eat some residue from Liu Qingshan's unit?" Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pool Army, jokingly changed the general staff's plan for Jiannu's lair.

After listening to Zhang Ping'an's combat deployment, Chief of Staff Gu Xin couldn't help but sigh that this person would be tiring if he was too smart. In this battle, the main force of the central cluster of the Slave Army entered the Korqin grassland from west to east. Deputy Commander Chen Zheng assassinated the Wenxing camp army from north to south to meet in Korqin. The Slave Army will first attack Hetuara in the east of Shenyang. This is the earliest capital of the Qing Dynasty and the place where the Jurchen Khan old Khan Nurhaci started his family. As long as the place is occupied by the Slave Army

The leader, Shenyang City located on the west, is surrounded by three sides of the Ponu Army. Once Hetuala was captured by the Ponu Army, the so-called Manchus of the Jurchens would be divided into two parts. The Jurchen tribes located in the mountains and forests in the east would be chased by the Ponu Army mountain troops, and the Jurchen Eight Banners Army on the Liaodong Plain to the east would lose its roots. Therefore, Hetuala is not only a place where the Jurchens must guard, but also a base for the Jurchens to make a comeback after the failure.

The plan for the Battle of Hetula is very simple, that is, to surround the points and attack aid, and to eliminate the main force of the Qing Dynasty in the field with Hetula as the center, to capture Chenyang City and clear the enemy outside. As usual, the Po Slave Army used three sieges and one siege in war, and the Po Slave Army specially left the side leading to North Korea so that the defeated Qing Dynasty could retreat to North Korea. Then, the Po Slave Army attacked North Korea in the name of clearing down the remaining enemies of Jiannu, and withdrew the North Korean country to the territory of the Po Slave Army. Therefore, the Battle of Hetula It became the key to the decisive battle. The Slave-Breaking Army who participated in the battle could achieve extraordinary military achievements after the war. Zhang Ping'an arranged for the Eagle Camp to fight Hetuara, and on the contrary, he gave the military achievements to Commander Zhang Li, but Zhang Shangren would definitely not miss Zhang Shangren's part when he had military achievements in Zhang Li's battle camp. Moreover, Zhang Ping'an also asked Commander Hu Ming to assist Zhang Li in the battle. After the war, Zhang Shangren naturally built a battlefield friendship with Hu Ming, and Hu Ming would also have some concerns when taking sides in the future.

Since the major case of Zhang Shangde and Lu Deyin and others' rebellion was launched, all the generals of the Po Slave Army have also been very concerned about Zhang Dashui's family affairs. Most people dare not stand in advance before receiving the clear instructions of Zhang Dashui. Especially Zhang Ping'an has a saying that he is in good health. If he hopes that he will die early, Zhang Ping'an will not mind letting the whole family die. Zhang Ping'an's warning this time was extremely serious, just to warn the generals of the Po Slave Army that Zhang Ping'an would not allow him to discuss the successor again after he was alive for one day. Shortly after Chen Zheng, the deputy commander of the Po Slave Army, arrived at the Hasensumu grassland, the scouts sent people from the south to report that they had captured a five hundred-man delegation sent by North Korea. This news shocked Zhang Ping'an, the head commander of the Po Slave Army. He never expected the North Korean delegation to appear at this time, and he did not expect that the fence-bearing country would seize the opportunity like this.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Ping'an ordered the protection of the Korean mission and he wanted to personally meet the Korean mission. Zhang Ping'an laughed in his heart. When is this time, North Korea still wants to take advantage, but Zhang Ping'an needs to appease the fence-bearing North Korea for the time being. Once Zhang Ping'an turned his mind to the battlefield, he immediately forgot his worries and began to arrange the deployment before the war. Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty secretly instructed Xiao Changshun to plan the rebellion of Lu Deyin and Wu Tianxing, and Zhang Ping'an did not give any hope to the Ming Dynasty court. After the arrest, Zhang Ping'an had made all preparations to turn against the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Ping'an ordered a memorial to write a memorial to Xiao Changshun instigate the generals of the Ponu Army to rebel. He hoped that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty would give the Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy to the Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy on this matter. At the same time, Zhang Ping'an also ordered the Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy to retreat to Yuetuo Island to give the rebel army a signal to attack Zhili, that the Ponucheng would no longer block the rebel army's attack on Zhili.
