Li Qi and Yu Jiuling drove the carriage out of the Yanshan camp, and the road was safe and sound, there were so many things in the Yanshan camp that everyone felt that their heads were as big as a fight, Yu Chaozong and Zhuang Wushu personally sent them to the halfway up the mountain, and Li Qi said that he persuaded people to go back.

If he didn't persuade him, Zhuang Wushu might be sending him back to Jizhou, and then Li Qi would come to see him off, and he would send Li Qi again, and so on, a lifetime would pass.

Yu Jiuling asked Li Qi a lot about the current situation, and he still wanted to join the army, but for more than a year, Xiahou Zhuo never mentioned in the letter that he should let him go.

In fact, it is not that Xiahou Zhuo broke his promise, but because the war in Northern Xinjiang has been extremely tight for the past year, and he is fighting with the black warriors every day.

It seemed to smell the instability of the Central Plains Great Chu, and the fangs of the black warriors began to show.

In this case, Xiahou Zhuo didn't dare to let Yu Jiuling come over rashly, he was only a lieutenant after he arrived in Northern Xinjiang, and he was not able to take care of the people he cared about.

The Condor followed the carriage for a while and then leaped up, and the carriage looked up, almost lifting the horses that were pulling it.

The dog squatting on the back of the Condor actually looked like it was frowning, although it had no eyebrows, and was obviously a little dissatisfied with the Condor's movements.

As soon as more than 400 catties came up, the two horses pulling the cart looked a little harder.

Yu Jiuling sighed: "I feel distressed. ”

Li Qi said: "I'll eat it when I go back." ”

Yu Jiuling said: "Is horse meat delicious?" ”

Li Qi: "I said to eat pigs......"

Yu Jiuling said: "Look at the fearless appearance of the Condor, the pig fights the bird, it thinks that maybe you don't dare to offend its master." ”

Li Didiu glanced at the dog: "Eat it first." ”

The dog seemed to understand, and gave Li Qi a contemptuous look.

The two of them drove to Qianqian County, and Master Changmei Daoist said that if they couldn't reach Qianqian County before dark today, they would rush to Yanshan Camp early tomorrow morning to look for them.

"Li Qi, if Brother Yu really wants to be the emperor, how long can he endure it?"

Yu Jiuling was particularly curious about this question.

Li Qi shook his head and said: "Many people rebel at the beginning without a purpose, just because they can't go on, or they see others rebel against them, or they see that the rebels can grab things, but Brother Yu is different, he should know very well what he wants to do from the beginning, he doesn't want to be short-lived." ”

He looked at Yu Jiuling and said: "But in this world, even if Brother Yu has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, he can still be a prince if he is not called the emperor, and if he is called the emperor, he will ......."

Yu Jiuling sighed and said, "Then let's bet on Brother Yu, can we?" ”

Li Qi said: "Jiuling, we are not betting on treasure, we are small people, we are not qualified to bet on treasure now, betting on treasure is the business of those big families and big forces, as long as we bet on it, it is a bet." ”

Yu Jiuling suddenly understood, he looked at Li Qi and said, "This is why you are not willing to go to Brother Yu too early?" ”

Li Qi nodded: "Let's take a look again." ”

Yu Jiuling asked, "When did you see it?" ”

"Look at Prince Yu."

Li Qi said: "If Prince Yu can't wait, then Brother Yu will have to make a move, he looks a little indecisive, but he won't watch Yanshan Camp being handed away by Bi Datong." ”

The two were chatting, and suddenly saw a puff of dust and smoke flying in the distance, coming from the northeast, and this official road led to the northeast to Daizhou, and there was a border in Daizhou.

Li Qi saw that the cavalry was already covered with dust, each with three horses, obviously there was an important military situation, and he did not change the horses, and galloped all the way.

If it is news from Daizhou, it may be that the grassland is coming to invade the border, and if it is not from the grassland, it may be a black warrior who borrowed from the grassland.

Li Qi looked at the soldier who was about to rush over, and shouted: "We are Jizhou Mansion."

The people under the account of the Jie Du envoy, may I ask if there is an urgent report in the north? ”

One of the soldiers replied in a hoarse voice: "The black warriors made a detour to attack the border pass of Daizhou, and the battle at the border pass is tight!" ”

Li Qi picked up several kettles from the car and threw them at the three cavalrymen, who were extremely skilled in riding horses, and when the horses galloped, they reached out to catch the kettles.

The man at the head clenched his fists and shouted thanks, and then urged the horse to move on.

Li Qi suddenly stopped the horse pulling the cart, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Jiuling, you should go back to Jizhou first." ”

Yu Jiuling was stunned: "What kind of wind are you going to smoke again?" ”

Li Qi said: "I'm going to Daizhou to see the situation." ”

Yu Jiuling said eagerly: "You are alone, what is the use of going to Daizhou?" ”

"One more person, one more force."

Li Qi said: "The black warriors are the biggest enemies of our Central Plains people, they took advantage of the upcoming New Year to suddenly detour to attack Daizhou, obviously they have been prepared for a long time, in case the state is breached, the black warriors can drive straight to the city of Jizhou." ”

Yu Jiuling said: "If you go alone, can you stop it?" ”

"You can't go away, if you don't go, the Central Plains will be broken."

Li Qi said: "If there is a fight between the rebels, I will naturally not go, even if someone goes to attack the Yanshan camp, I can not go, but it is the black warriors attacking the border pass...... You go to Qianqian County first, and after meeting my master, you will go back to Jizhou, and when you get home, help me talk to Gao Xining, and say that I will go back after the year. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Qi grabbed his weapon, jumped down from the carriage, and turned around and ran in the direction of Yanshan.

"Li Qi!"

Yu Jiuling shouted anxiously: "You ran over like this, how long will it take to run to Jizhou!" ”

Li Qi turned around and shouted, "I'll go to Yanshan Camp to borrow a horse!" ”

Yu Jiuling also wanted to go with Li Qi, but if the two of them left, and no one told Changmei Dao and Mr. Yan, those two would go crazy.

Yu Jiuling decided to go to Qianqian County first, hand over the carriage and horses to Mr. Yan and them, and then he turned around and went back to the direction of Daizhou, anyway, he ran fast, and it shouldn't be a problem to catch up with Li Qi.

An hour later, the Yanshan camp.

Yu Chaozong was very surprised to see Li Qi come back, Li Qi ran over panting, and his first sentence was: "Big boss, lend me two fast horses." ”

Seeing that he looked so eager, Yu Chaozong hurriedly said, "You can have as much as you want, you tell the eldest brother what happened first?" Big brother can still help you. ”

Li Qi told him about the crime committed by the black warriors in Daizhou, and Yu Chaozong looked embarrassed.

"Brother."

Yu Chaozong looked at Li Qi and said: "If it is a family matter, no matter how dangerous it is, the eldest brother will accompany you, but if you go to this matter, the black warriors are cruel, and there is no one you know at the border, it is too dangerous." ”

"I know."

Li Qi said: "Big brother, just lend me two fast horses." ”

"I'll go with you!"

Zhuang Wushu stood up from the side and said: "If the border pass is broken, the black warriors can go south, and the people in this area of Xinzhou will also be slaughtered by the black warriors, big brother, you let me go too." ”

In fact, Li Qi wanted to persuade Yu Chaozong to bring troops to support, but he didn't say it, because he knew Yu Chaozong's concerns.

First, he led his troops to go, and if Prince Wu's army arrived, he might take the opportunity to exterminate the Yanshan battalion.

Second, even if the war is tight, Prince Wu will lead troops to support the past, and he has no intention of dealing with the Yanshan battalion, but the Yanshan battalion will also be excluded, and may even be arranged to fight the black warriors head-on.

As the eldest brother, Yu Chaozong really has too much to think about.

"Big brother!"

Zhuang Wushu said: "I only took a few hundred brothers from my camp, and some of them can be helped, and we can also say that they are gangs in Jizhou City, and they spontaneously want to help at the border pass, and they will not easily reveal their identities." ”

Yu Chaozong pondered for a moment and said, "Then you are now."

Go to the armory to get the items you need, you can bring as many as you can, Lao Qi, remember, first, you must ensure that you and Brother Li come back safely, and second, try to bring the brothers back alive. ”

"Don't worry!"

Zhuang Wushu pulled Li Qi: "Let's go." ”

Both of them are anxious, and their efficiency is very fast, and it didn't take long for Zhuang Wushu to gather hundreds of people under his command, and Zhuang Wushu did not force it, clearly saying that he was going to the border pass of Daizhou to fight the black warriors, and those who were willing to go would go, and those who did not want to go would stay.

As a result, a small half of the team of three or four hundred people did not want to go, Zhuang Wushu didn't say much, and took about two hundred people to the armory to receive weapons and equipment, and found war horses, and in less than an hour, the two of them had already taken two hundred cavalry out of the Yanshan camp.

On the city wall, Bi Datong stood there and watched Li Qi and Zhuang Wushu rushing away with the team, and he couldn't help but snort coldly.

"A group of fools, resisting the invasion of the black warriors, there are officials and soldiers, and you are running away?"

He said to himself: "It's just a pity that my two boxes of silver have been lost again......

Li Qi and Zhuang Wushu rode side by side, and Zhuang Wushu asked loudly: "Have you thought about it, when we arrive at the border pass of Daizhou, the border army in the city may not let us in." ”

Li Qi nodded: "I thought about it." ”

He replied, "I'll talk about it when we get to the place." ”

The journey from Yanshan Camp to Daizhou is not very close, and if they are in such a hurry, they will have to walk for at least four or five days, and things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and they don't know what it will be like if they rush to the Daizhou border pass.

At the same time, the Daizhou border pass.

On the city wall, General Tan Qian was tired of holding on to the wall and gasping, once again repelling the attack of the Black Warriors, but his soldiers were almost at the limit.

There are only 1,200 border troops stationed here in this pass, and the people who have always been on guard here are the grassland people rather than the black warriors, and no one thought that the grassland people would actually make a way for the black warriors.

"Have all the people from the faction been sent out?"

Tan Qianshou asked.

"Back to the general."

His personal army team also replied with a gasp: "The faction has been sent out, respectively to Xinzhou, Daizhou City, Youzhou, Jizhou and other places, if nothing else, the fastest to come to Daizhou City, there are about 3,000 people, and they should be able to arrive tomorrow morning." ”

Tan Qianshou shook his head: "Over there in Daizhou, there may not be anyone coming." ”

He and Liu Mu, the general of the defenders of Daizhou City, were at odds, and the two of them were in the same boat, at this time, Liu Mu would not be the first to rush over, even if he came, he would bring troops over after reinforcements from elsewhere arrived.

"Did Prince Wu send someone over there?"

"Sent."

The team replied: "But Prince Wu's army should be still south of Jizhou now, and if you want to come, it will be slower than the Jizhou army." ”

Tan Qianshou fell silent, Jizhou Army?

The Jizhou army is Prince Yu's final say, and Prince Yu's thoughts are now known to everyone, most of him will not send troops and horses over, and he still has to preserve his strength to seek great things.

"Count the casualties!"

Tan Qian stood up with his hands propped up and shouted.

"Yes!"

The men agreed, and everyone's voices sounded so tired.

Half an hour later, the pro-soldier team came back with a sad face, and said in a low voice: "General...... After the count, more than half of our casualties remained, and only about 500 people were left to fight. ”

Tan Qianshou was silent for a moment, and then looked back at the Great Chu battle flag fluttering on the city wall.

"Even if there is only one person left, we will not let the black warriors pass through the border we are guarding."

Outside the city, the horn of the Black Warriors sounded again.

Tan Qian grabbed the hard bow with his hand and shouted loudly: "Great Chu Border Army!" ”

Hundreds of people responded neatly.

"Don't give up an inch of land!"
