A few days later, Chizhou.

At the east gate of Shitai County, a human head was hanging, and judging from the appearance on his face, he was extremely unwilling before he died.

When he followed Xie Rang to prepare to attack Hui'an Mansion, he secretly sent a letter to Qin Youyu, and later Qin Youyu replied to him and asked him to cooperate with Qin Quan's Western Route Army.

Originally, Qin Quan and he agreed to follow in the army as an internal response. Later, because he did not set off with the army, he changed his plan, and he was responsible for capturing Shitai County after the army left, after which Qin Quan would lead the army to meet him.

However, when he led the five hundred soldiers of his headquarters to kill the county order and take the county seat according to the plan, Deng Xuanli led the cavalry to suddenly appear.

Deng Xuanli is Lu Weiyi's favorite general, and the 3,000 cavalry under his command is one of the most elite troops in Ning**, Wang Meng naturally couldn't resist it, and only defended for less than half a day, and was attacked by Deng Xuanli to break through the city gate, cut off his head, and hang at the city gate.

At the west gate of Shitai County, Deng Xuanli led the cavalry past Wang Meng's head, he was a man of nearly thirty years old, with beautiful eyebrows, extremely long lips, bent into an arc, and his demeanor showed a calmness of mastering everything.

The whole team slowly left the city, and then suddenly rushed quickly, like a long black snake if viewed from the air.

……

Hui'an Province and Chizhou are on the border, on the side of Chizhou.

On a certain hillside, Qin Quan rode a horse and silently watched an infantry team below slowly pass by.

"Commander, you're all ready, give the order to attack." Jing Che said.

Qin Quan didn't speak, a pair of sword eyebrows furrowed, as if there was something confused, Chu Xiong knew Qin Quan better, and knew that he must have discovered something, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything.

After another half an hour, seeing that the team was about to pass through this ambush point, Jing Che urged: "Commander, if you don't attack again, the enemy army will pass." ”

Qin Quan finally spoke, but what he said was the word "withdrawal".

"Why is that?" Jing Che's eyes widened.

Qin Quan didn't explain anything, he rode his horse away, Chu Xiong followed with a frown, and Zong Si sneered: "Captain Jing, the commander naturally has his reasons for saying that the withdrawal of the army, you don't have to ask about this kind of thing in the future, I just need to listen to the order." ”

After finishing speaking, he rode his horse to chase after him, Jing Che shook his head, and also rode up to follow.

The army began to return to the boundary of Hui'an Prefecture, and after walking for a long time, a sentry horse came from the direction of Qimen City, and a copy of the army was transmitted.

Qin Quan took it, with a faint smile on his face, and handed the paper with Jun Qi ng written on it to Jing Che: "After reading this, you will know why I withdrew the army." ”

Jing Che took a look and found that this letter was sent by the army, and the previous report was that the search team caught the enemy commander Xie Rang and the deputy commander Xu Da, which can be said to be excellent news, but what surprised him was the last news: In addition to Xie Rang's army, the enemy army secretly has an elite cavalry.

After reading the note, Jing Che handed it to Chu Xiong, and his mind turned to Qin Quan: "What does the general mean that the infantry just now was cheating, and this elite cavalry is hidden in the shadows?" ”

Qin Quan said lightly: "I didn't know about the existence of this cavalry, I just thought there was something wrong with this infantry at that time." ”

"What's the problem?"

"It's so unguarded, it's like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for us to do it."

"The Commander's eyes are like torches!" Soji looked admiring.

Jing Che spoke again: "But it is possible that the other commander's incompetence. ”

Qin Quan said coldly: "He is no longer incompetent, but in the ambush a few days ago, the enemy cavalry escaped a lot, someone must have told this army the news of the ambush, this kind of situation is not defenseless, then it is not incompetent, but stupid, do you think our opponent is so stupid?" ”

Jing Che shook his head: "Yes, you can never underestimate your opponent." ”

Zong Si sneered after hearing this, this guy obviously has never been on the battlefield, but he always likes to pretend to say some big truths, if he really understands these truths, he should have discovered the enemy's Y plot just now, but now he can only be an afterthought.

"I only knew that the other party had a problem just now, but I didn't know what the problem was, until I saw this military qi ng." Qin Quan said slowly.

At this moment, another sentry handed over a military Qi ng, but the direction was from Chizhou, Qin Quan took it, and his expression became extremely cold: "Is Deng Xuanli leaving?" I remember you. ”

"Speed up the march." He gave a loud order, and then took the lead and returned to Qimen County.

……

Qimen County.

Since returning to the county seat with the army, Li Wencheng heard a rumor that Yan Shi was about to be promoted to commander, and he began to think in his heart that he should also have a deputy commander to be a commander.

Yes, he Li Wencheng did look down on being an official before, but since he was promoted to Wu Chang, he found that he no longer had to please Gangzi's idiot, the food was better, and he could find a place to sleep without anyone at noon, and his quality of life had greatly improved.

After eating this sweetness, he naturally wanted more.

At noon, Yan Shi suddenly sent someone to call him over, and when he came to a room, he saw that in addition to Yan Shi, there were several sergeants in the room.

From Yan Shi's cousin, he guessed that these sergeants must have brought the news of promotion, and sure enough, when one of them saw Li Wencheng coming, he spoke:

"Commander Qin has an order, the head of the Fifth Army Yan Shi has a merit in capturing the enemy general, with the approval of Marshal Lu Jie, from now on, he will be promoted to the commander of the second battalion of the Fifth Army, please follow me to go through the relevant procedures."

"Yes!" Yan Shihong said in a loud voice, followed the sergeant away, and winked at Li Wencheng as he left.

Li Wencheng's heart was pounding, as if he had found the feeling when he was promoted to county officer, he looked at several other sergeants, and said with a smile: "A few commanders, I don't know me-"

"Please come with me, Commander Qin wants to see you." An officer interrupted.

Li Wencheng had a sigh in his heart, although he had never dealt with Qin Quan when he was a county magistrate before, but the two sides had met a few times, he knew that these people who followed Lu Yuan first did not have a good impression of him, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up!" The sergeant went to the door, saw that he had not followed, and urged him.

"Yes, yes." Li Wencheng smiled bitterly, no matter what the other party wanted to do to him, he had no room for resistance.

After following the sergeant for a while, he came to a room, where the sergeant knocked on the door, and soon a voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

After entering the house, Li Wencheng saw Qin Quan again, although he had seen Qin Quan before, but he had never looked carefully, this time they met, only to find that the other party was unexpectedly young, with a straight face, very cold, and I don't know if it has always been like this, or deliberately gave himself a look.

Qin Quan looked at Li Wencheng for a moment, and said coldly: "Meritorious service in the army will be rewarded, so no matter who you were before, since you have made meritorious contributions, I will report your merits to the past, and I am ready to promote you to the head of the capital." ”

"Thank you, Commander." Li Wencheng lowered his head and said.

"You don't have to thank me, the reason why I did this is because I thought that the marshal would not agree to your appointment, but I didn't expect him not only to agree, but also to modify the appointment, saying that this time your credit is greater than Yan Shi's, so you were promoted to deputy commander."

Li Wencheng was stunned, he didn't understand, he had always been against Lu Yuan before, and there was no reason why he would reuse himself.

Qin Quan looked at it with a piece of paper* and said, "But I'm not at ease with you, I really want to know, what are you thinking after losing your official position, your wife is separated, and you have nothing left, and you die?" Or do you want revenge? ”

Speaking of which, he stared at Li Wencheng with a pair of sharp eyes.

Li Wencheng gritted his teeth, knowing that if he didn't answer well, he might not be able to leave this room alive.

He took a few deep breaths and said: "Originally, I really wanted to die, but I didn't have the courage to commit suicide, but after staying in the barracks for a long time, I also got used to the life in the barracks, and now I just want to... Just want to start a new life all over again. ”

What he said was the truest thought in his heart, and this kind of thought quietly grew in his heart unconsciously, and he rarely took it seriously, until today, under the threat of Qin Quan, he finally faced this thought.

As long as you live, there will be change. Having lost everything, he has recently learned one thing, as long as he lives, he still has a chance to get it again.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Qin Quan's cold gaze, and after a long time, Qin Quan said coldly: "I believe your words, but I will keep an eye on you, if I find out that you have different intentions, don't blame me for being unkind, go out." ”

After leaving the house, Li Wencheng let out a long breath, leaned on the *, and slowly slipped to the ground.

From now on, he will say goodbye to his former self and be reborn.

Taking off his prejudice and looking at the army he was in again, he found that this army was actually very strong, and although the commander Qin Quan was a little unapproachable, he gave people a feeling that he could be trusted.

Next, what I need to think about is to find a way to continue to make meritorious contributions and keep what I have just gotten.
