Liu Pei said: "That's great! After you go back this time, you must summarize the gains and losses of this battle and record it to educate the recruits."

Yang Jingfa was stunned when he heard this and said, "Master, don't you need to follow the battle below?"

Liu Pei sighed and said, "It is already a shocking thing for me, a general, to have thousands of servants! If there are more than two thousand cavalrymen, then no one believes that I will not rebel! I am afraid that after the extermination of Kong Youde, the army will turn around and siege me!"

Yang Jingfa also knew that Liu Pei was talking about the truth. Any dynasty, when it involves the possibility of rebellion, would definitely kill the wrong person and not let it go!

It is enough to raise thousands of servants by Liu Pei, a general who is in charge of Liu Pei, to raise suspicion. However, it is more appropriate to say that the servants under Liu Pei are not so dependents as elite soldiers. Therefore, there is room for explanation to the court on this point. But if there are more than 2,000 cavalry, no one will listen to your explanation!

Thinking of this, Yang Jingfa sighed and said, "What should we do if the current situation of the Grand Marshal?"

Liu Pei thought for a while and said, "I'll kill all the officers in the rebels, and take them to report their merits! Then I'll pick a few timid rebel soldiers who pretend to be officers and ask them to explain the battle process to the above. I'll remind them not to mention the cavalry participating in the battle, otherwise they will be killed! As for the prisoners, I must guard them closely. Then I will talk to Zhu Dadian and resell all these prisoners to me as slaves! I think he will give me this face, and at most I can spend some money. In this way, the secret of the cavalry appearing on the battlefield can be kept."

Yang Jingfa nodded and said, "That's all we can do. I think those officials and men wouldn't go to the prisoner camp to investigate in person."

As the prisoners were taken back one after another, the soldiers became busy. After the final count, Liu Pei and his friends captured more than 4,000 people and seized more than 2,000 heads on the battlefield. It seems that only more than 4,000 people escaped with Kong Youde.

It can be said that Kong Youde's strength has been mostly lost. Even if he joined forces with the thousands of defenders in Pingdu City, he would probably have done nothing in a short period of time.

That night, Liu Pei did not rush to march, but set off on the camp and Panqing

I wish you a happy moment. On the one hand, the soldiers need to vent their excitement. On the other hand, they also want to identify and arrange prisoners.

Moreover, according to Liu Pei's speculation, Kong Youde would evacuate Pingduzhou after he was consciously defeated and would evacuate the people of Laizhou. The rebels in Laizhou received news of the imperial army's conquest, and upon receiving the news of his own defeat, they would definitely postpone the siege. In this way, Laizhou could hold on.

In this way, there will be wars and fights in the future, so why should we hurry to chase Kong Youde? If all the credits are made by themselves, wouldn’t the other host and guest soldiers hate themselves to death? Maybe they will stumbling up and the gains will not be worth the loss!

Moreover, it is not in Liu Pei's interest to quickly extinguish Kong Youde. Liu Pei needs someone to shake the Ming Dynasty, and Kong Youde is one of the links. Moreover, Liu Pei also needs to make contributions. It will be less of a great contribution to extinguish Kong Youde too early. Only when Kong Youde and the others make a big fuss will the court pay attention to it and the extermination of them will be even greater!

The next morning, the cavalry team escorted some property seized from the battlefield back to the base. Liu Pei led the people to advance towards Pingdu with great enthusiasm.

In the evening, Liu Pei and his friends rushed to the west gate of Pingdu. There was a camp outside the city gate. Liu Pei pointed at the camp and smiled: "I guess there are no rebels in that camp at this time. But these cowards in the city didn't come to investigate. It's useless!"

The officers around Liu Pei all laughed. However, one officer still said: "Master, although everyone speculated that the rebels might have run away, it is best to send some people to see it."

Liu Pei naturally nodded in agreement. So immediately a team of cavalry rushed out happily. The cavalry rode their horses to the front of the opponent's camp and walked around for a few circles, and found that the camp was silent.

A few people stepped forward tentatively, hooked the village wall with a hook rope, and then a few horses used force together, and in the blink of an eye, a small section of the village wall was knocked down, revealing the tent inside. However, there was still no sound in the entire camp.

Several cavalrymen met and discussed for a while, and sent a cavalry to rush into the camp. After a while, they saw him waving in the gap, and the cavalry immediately rushed in.

After a while, the village gate was opened. Several cavalrymen were at the door.

He waved to Liu Pei. Liu Pei knew that the camp was indeed an empty camp.

Liu Pei took the guards and rode his horse into the camp first. A cavalry said, "Master, you can see that the rebels seemed to be in a hurry. But the main things were taken away! The rest was an empty camp."

Liu Pei nodded and waited for the other cavalry to search the camp. When the brigade arrived, the entire camp was also inspected. Just as the cavalry said, it was indeed an empty camp. However, all weapons, food and other things were taken away, and because the camp tent was troublesome, they were all kept. It can be seen that Kong Youde was indeed in a hurry when he left.

Liu Pei waved his hand and signaled the army to pass through the camp. A large group of people passed through Kong Youde's empty camp, and the west gate of Pingdu City was seen in front of him. It looked about five miles from the camp gate to the city gate.

In the era of cold weapons, the siege of the city was surrounded like this. The siege of the city was just enough to set up camps from afar outside the gate. After all, the camp could not be really built outside the gate. In that way, the enemy's artillery would have targets!

When Liu Pei saw someone on duty on the top of the city, he said to the officers: "Line up the team and give these local buns in Pingdu City a good experience!"

The officers naturally laughed and agreed. So they immediately directed the soldiers to line up a long line of five people while they were moving. When the soldiers heard that the general wanted to give the local buns in Pingdu City a warning, of course, they were all excited, with their chests and belly folds, and they all became more and more energetic when walking!

The infantry were energetic, and the cavalry were not to be outdone. They rode horses on both sides of the team and played tricks! Someone grabbed the saddle and jumped from the left on the left, jumped up with his toes, and flew in the air and walked to the right on the right. His feet were pressing hard on the ground again and then rushed back to the left!

There were even people standing on the horse's back, without controlling the horse with both hands, standing steadily on the horse's back and running forward! Looking at everyone in various ways, even the infantry applauded!
