The midsummer sun bakes the land of Dengzhou Prefecture. On the land under the scorching sun, cracked and rolled up soil appeared, just like the lips of a person who was about to die of thirst.

The sea breeze in the distance blows, and after it blows, it brings life-saving moisture. As long as there is a shade of trees to cool off, this is a good place to escape the summer heat.

Hou Xuanyan was riding on the horse, his face was already a little bronzed. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Where is the front?"

The Shandong-born soldier stepped forward, looked at the sun with his hands, and said, "Go back to Da Zheng, we arrived at Yangjiadian. The Longshan in front of us is Penglai Dengzhou Prefecture."

When Hou Xuanyan heard this, he was happy. His back was wet with sweat, and his clothes were sticking to his body very uncomfortable. The inside of his legs was so painful. He breathed a long sigh and seemed to feel much more comfortable. He pulled the horse reins and scolded: "The world will be peaceful in the future. I will hide at home and not leave for half a step. Damn, my thighs are worn out, and I finally arrived."

Qin He stepped forward and smiled and said, "Why doesn't the Grand Marshal ride on a carriage? Mr. Liu from Xiao County, you will know that the carriage prepared for you is not a substitute at first glance. It will definitely be comfortable to sit on it."

"When will it take? I'm talking nonsense. We can still catch dinner when we go to Dengzhou Prefecture with a quick horse." After saying that, he removed the soft armor that was pressing on his body, and squeezed his legs hard to the horse's belly, and rushed to Dengzhou.

The more you go to Dengzhou, there are more rivers and lakes on the road. Half of the red sun has set in the distance, and the remaining half has dyed the horizon red. From a distance, you can see the sea.

On the outskirts of Dengzhou, senior generals from the Fire Camp lined up on both sides of the official road. Li Haoxian stood under the city himself, leading Dengzhou civil and military officials, gentry celebrities, and leaders of various major families, waiting for it.

"The prince is here!"

A shout came from the distance of Okayama, and there was a commotion in the crowd. Everyone looked forward with their toes, and several galloping horses were racing in the distance.

Bai Junyan pinched his beard and shook his head and said, "This must be a pioneer in exploring the way for the Duke of China." He came up with a plan to poison water sources in Jinan, but was left by Li Haoxian and became a military advisor with the army.

Li Haoxian laughed heartily, and after laughing, he said, "When did the Duke of the Kingdom has used the Pioneer? Every time he is the one at the front of the road, everyone will come with me to greet him. This must be the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the People."

When Hou Xuanyan ran to the city, everyone saw that the naked man really looked like Duke Yue, just a little darker than before.

Li Haoxian stepped forward and held the horse. Hou Xuanyan threw the horse whip. Li Haoxian caught it and said, "Master, all the prominent people in our Dengzhou city have arrived. I will introduce you to you."

Hou Xuanyan took the robe handed over by his personal soldiers and put it on his body. His eyes quickly glanced around the faces of the welcome crowd in the suburbs, and shouted: "Eat and talk!"

A banquet in the city has long been set up, Dengzhou is near the sea, and all kinds of seafood are cooked by the best chefs in Dengzhou Prefecture. They are served before they are eaten before they are fragrant.

After sitting down, Hou Xuanyan stretched out his hand and said, "Shandong has fallen for a long time, there must be many Tartars mixed in. For example, the Babuhai was named King of Qi, the only Tartar prince who was a vassal. How did he do the work of clearing the remaining poisons of the Qing Dynasty?"

Li Haoxian has never cared about this. He has always divided his troops to capture the city and then sent troops to garrison. When he heard Hou Xuanyan suddenly ask, he couldn't help but stammer. Hou Xuanyan slapped the table and said, "I did nothing?"

Li Haoxian was sweating profusely and quickly looked at his dog-headed military advisor. Bai Junyan had an idea and shook his head and said, "The Duke of China doesn't know anything. We are going to take a look at him."

Hou Xuanyan grabbed the wine chicken and clams in his hand, turned his head and asked, "If you want to raise it, you should suppress it first? What does it mean? Let's listen."

Bai Junyan hurriedly said: "We have just recovered Shandong. The remnants of the Tartars must be very frightened and will try their best to disguise themselves and conceal their identity. It is better to leave it alone first and let them relax their vigilance. We will plow the courtyard and sweep the caves and eliminate them in one fell swoop."

When Li Haoxian heard this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled and said, "That's right, it's this that you want to raise your head first."

Hou Xuanyan threw away the clam shell and cursed: "The bullshit is to suppress the first thing you want to raise. Dorgon still has many Qing soldiers. I heard that he has imposed a circle and forced 400,000 people to be cannon fodder. If you want to raise, you will suppress the first thing you want to raise. If he suddenly attacks, there will be traitors everywhere, and there will be Qing soldiers everywhere, and there will be people behind the back at any time. From this moment on, clearing the remnants of the Qing Dynasty in Shandong, have you heard it clearly?"

Li Haoxian nodded vigorously, and Hou Xuanyan's anger was not gone. This confidant general was a good player in fighting. This kind of thing was too bad. Not only him, the entire Fire Camp was not good at this. Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanhua jumped into Hou Xuanyan's heart.

His face improved, his tone eased a little, and he said, "You are really not good at letting you Li Haoxian do these things. Let me transfer Zhao Yuanhua to Shandong to be a governor of Shandong. You can cooperate with him."

Lee Haoxian felt relieved and complimented: "The Marshal is wise."

All the officials in Dengzhou were promoted by Li Haoxian. He was from Dengzhou and was most popular in Dengzhou. He specialized in choosing respected people and submitted a petition to the official. Hou Xuanyan agreed to think that he had worked hard and made great contributions to regaining Shandong. When he saw that the Duke's expression was eased, these people hurriedly persuaded the drinks and served food for Li Haoxian, and the atmosphere at the banquet became cheerful again.

Halfway through the wine, Hou Xuanyan felt a little tired. The days of running around made him a little tired, and he said, "Let's just do this today. I'll stay in Shandong for a long time. Let's talk about it later."

When everyone heard that he was going to rest, they stood up and left. Only Li Haoxian and Hou Xuanyan were left at the lively banquet.

"Hehe, I heard that Mrs. Jin is already pregnant, so I'll congratulate the general first."

Hou Xuanyan was not short, but stood beside Li Haoxian and didn't let him be taller. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "What's the point of congratulations? I'm so strong, no matter whether I'm lively and majestic on and off the bed, it's normal to have a child. I'm afraid that there will be too many in the future and make them angry every day."

"The Grand Marshal's Mingjian is not so, and he is always uneasy in his heart. I still remember that in Jingzhou, we were fighting hard on the front line and always had to be careful of the situation behind us. I don't want to live such a day." Li Haoxian stopped and did not say in depth, but how could Hou Xuanyan, the implicit voice, not hear it. The confidant politely advised him to advance. If I go further, they can follow the Tao and ascend to heaven.

Hou Xuanyan patted his shoulder and said, "The enemy is facing the enemy, I will drive away the Tartars first. I will give you an explanation."
