In addition to the New Year, others exchanged peach charms at home, worshiped ancestors, and reunited for the New Year, and Han Qi took people to attack the city outside.

The snow fell very heavily, and there was a foot-high snow outside the city, and the weather was so cold that the birds did not come out of their nests. Han Qi led people all the way over, it can be regarded as a labor soldier, the soldiers are tired and sleepy, it is impossible to make a surprise attack, only to attack the city slowly.

He ordered people to camp with their backs to the mountain nest and water, the cauldron of cooking rice was lit to cremate the snow water, the horses also ate grass, everything was sorted out, Shen Cheng and several fierce generals in the army rushed to the Chinese military tent one after another.

Han Qi was stunned at the map, and when he saw that they were coming, he beckoned: "I have already taken someone to visit Xingzhou City, and I have seen that the city wall is built high, and the battlement watchtower looks to be newly repaired, and the moat is dug deep. It seems that the strong attack will not work, and you say what to do. ”

Some people shouted to attack with fire, and some said that if they waited for a few days, it would not be too late to attack again in the spring.

Han Qi's brows furrowed and he didn't respond.

Shen Cheng circled around the map twice, Xingzhou is located in the plain, and it is not too difficult to attack and defend. If you want to attack strongly, it will be sooner or later, but according to Han Qi's meaning, he wants to take it quickly to strengthen his prestige.

It is not difficult to understand that this lord just stole the imperial tomb a month ago, and only then took Leping from the Xiao family, if he takes Xingzhou in one fell swoop, the Han family's prestige will be greatly shaken.

"Outwitted!" Shen Cheng concluded, he pressed his hand on the drawing and smiled: "The inside should be combined with the outside, and he was caught off guard." I would like to take someone into the city in disguise, and make an appointment to join the general in his hand. ”

"How did you get into the city?" Han Qi asked.

Shen Cheng said eloquently: "I pretended to be a merchant selling grain and grass, the Central Plains had a great drought the year before last, and then there were successive changes in the DPRK and China, and the Zhong family and the Xiao family increased taxes for two consecutive years, and I expected that Xingzhou would not have enough grain. ”

Han Qi circled around Shen Cheng, looked left and right, and smiled: "You don't look like you, how can you pretend to be a trader when you are obviously a white-faced scholar." Or I'll go, you and Cai Erlang stay in the army. ”

Shen Cheng was about to speak, he waved his hand and said, "I'll take my brothers from the Salt Gang to go, although there is a lot of food in the army, but I plan to do the old business." ”

Han Qi asked Sijin to order more than a dozen brothers as he spoke, and he wanted to be young and strong veterans who were familiar with the rules of the rivers and lakes.

"More than a dozen people, not necessarily ......" Shen Cheng hesitated.

Cai Erlang and the others all laughed, they used to live a life on the tip of a knife, selling smuggled salt is a serious crime, not to mention a dozen people, and they have never been afraid of the government when they were alone. Han Qi asked the people to pick, all of them with one top ten.

"There are too many people who are afraid that the county guards guarding the city will be suspicious, and then let dozens of brothers pretend to be dead and ask for food to follow me into the city, and then there will be ......" Han Qi looked at the lean and lean Wang Jian, and said directly: "Brother Wang can pretend to be a sick man, take three or five housekeepers, and find a way to bring weapons into the city." ”

Everything was said to be divided into preparations, the next day before dawn about fifty people disguised as beggars into the city in twos and threes, at noon Han Qi escorted a car, with his dozen brothers, swaggering past the city gate.

There was a portrait of him on the city gate, but he was not afraid of being recognized, his face was painted with the potion prepared by Gu Shenyi, and it was as black as if he had just been dug out of the coal pit, and his collar was slightly open on a cold day, and his neck and face were the same color. Not to mention that he walked with his arms thrown out, and with a look of anger he almost told people not to approach, and the ten people behind him didn't look like something to be messed with.

They were unsurprisingly interrogated at the city gate, and Han Qi made a generous move, and as he spoke, a gold ingot in his hand was stuffed into the hand of the little soldier.

The soldiers guarding the city checked it, and said in their hearts that it was good, eight cents of gold.

When asked Han Qi what kind of goods he had, he raised his eyebrows and said, "A little New Year's goods, filial piety to a few elders in the clan." ”

The little soldier said in his heart, don't be a cart of gold.

The silver money makes everything easy to talk about, and the team of small soldiers guarding the city gate today all got the gold, and the inspection was hastily done, and Han Qishun should enter the city.

In the evening, Wang Jian pretended to be a sick man, and it didn't take much effort, he was thin and used the medicine of Gu Shenyi, his face was as yellow as paper, and he was angry, and then made two rounds of money, and entered Xingzhou City before the city gate was locked.

When it was dark, several groups of people met to take the firelight as the signal, first kill the guards under the city tower, and the two small soldiers who went up to the city tower in the dark died silently.

Han Qi cut down the big banner erected on the city tower, and at this time, the city gate was opened, and Shen Cheng and his people had already attacked.

Xingzhou City was taken so smoothly that he sat in the county guard mansion and pondered about attacking another city, but of course he was persuaded by a few of his subordinates.

When the city of Xingzhou was broken, the county guard was sleeping with the concubine in his arms, and when he heard that Han Qi had invaded the city, he was so frightened that he got up and pretended to be a slave and wanted to get out of the city, but he still let people take it to Han Qi, and as soon as he entered the door, he crawled to Han Qi and begged for mercy.

Seeing the county guard's appearance was really very different from Han Qi's impression when he looked at the city defense from a distance outside the city, he asked who the county guard was with the deployment of troops, and the county guard only said that he was one of his staff, and he had died in the chaos.

The county guard cried and begged him that his two daughters were as beautiful as flowers, and that they were willing to sacrifice to General Han, and only begged him to spare his life.

Afraid of death and afraid of being like this, Cai Erlang is very disdainful.

"What does Brother Shen think?" Han Qi frowned.

Shen Cheng was stunned for a moment, Han Qi didn't ask him how to deal with the county guard, but asked him if he was interested in the two beautiful daughters of the family.

Hehe, he refused: "Wait until I am successful one day, and then I will mention the matter of marriage." ”

That's rejection.

Han Qi coughed and ordered someone to put the county guard in prison, and as for the family members of the county guard, he also ordered someone to strictly guard them, and asked his subordinates not to bully other people's female dependents.

Sijin raised his eyes and looked at Han Qi's eyes strangely. Unexpectedly, Han Qizhao whispered to him: "You go and inquire, what is the origin of the county guard's family, it is the best to be useful, if it is useless, I don't want to embarrass a few women." ”

Everything was sorted out for the time being, and Han Qi also relaxed slightly for a while, thinking that he had known that it was going so well, it was better to stay in Luoyang and accompany Ah Yao to spend the New Year before coming out.

But there are not so many ifs in the world, and the reason why he is like being chased by a wolf is not because he has no confidence in his empty hands. Sitting in Luoyang City, I was very flustered, thinking about the next move of the Xiao family and the imperial court, thinking about the Zhong brothers in Jiangnan, and the county guards of several divided sides in the Shandong territory are not weak.

Han Qi took his mind and looked east at Luoyang, he was going to marry Ayao in March, and wanted to give her a stable place.

The four catties went out very smoothly, and the order was made at noon, and there was an echo before dinner. He is not greedy for credit, saying that most of the credit should be counted on the pumpkin head.

The pumpkin also came, starry and waiting for Han Qi's praise.

Han Qi looked past him and looked at Sijin, "Let's get down to business." ”

"The county guard's surname Bai is from a princely family, and his grandmother is an old princess. He has two daughters who are both in office, but I heard that the second daughter likes to dress as a man since she was a child, and she is proficient in archery and horse riding, and I also heard that the overall situation of Xingzhou City's defense is eight out of ten from the hands of this second lady of the Bai family. After Sijin finished speaking, he looked at the pumpkin helplessly, the credit was not that he wanted to rob it, but that the big boss made it clear that he wanted to cold the pumpkin, and he couldn't do it.

There are really capable people hiding behind the county guards, Han Qi said that his eyesight will not be so bad, Xingzhou City looks solid from the outside, but he leads people to attack the city is like chopping tofu.

He tapped his fingers and groaned, and finally ordered: "Tell Brother Shen to go and see the second lady of the Bai family." ”

"Brother Han, you really don't go!" Pumpkin's eyes brightened.

Han Qi smiled and slapped the pumpkin's brain, "If I go, I can't tell if the second lady of the Bai family is alive." Now, you should rest assured. ”

The pumpkin covered his head and didn't care about the pain, and nodded violently with a smile.

Shen Cheng listened to Sijin's relay, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, "This ...... Okay, I'll visit tomorrow morning. ”

Bai Junshou is the grandson of the princess, and Bai Erniang is also the great-granddaughter of the princess, and the disciple is noble, Han Qi's intentions are obvious. In the past, Shen Cheng never dreamed of marrying this kind of person.

His heart turned around, and somehow he thought of the eldest lady of the Ji family who stayed in Luoyang.

In the early morning of the day they set out, the eldest lady of the Ji family personally sent her out of the city, wearing a snow-white fox fur that made her look like a fairy in Yaochi, and her eyebrows were full of eyebrows and eyes staring at Han Qi alone.

If there is such a beauty, Shen Cheng will do everything to fight for her.

As soon as the thought was in his mind, he was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly picked up the tea bowl in his hand and wiped it out.
