March River Building.

Choi Tae sat in his chair and waited for the final news, and when Li Qi left, he left a message that gave him hope.

Li Qi said that the Cui family can leave Jizhou, and as long as the Qingzhou soldiers retreat, then the Cui family's people can also be evacuated safely.

For the Cui family, such a result now seems to be the best choice, the home is still there, and there is hope for the future.

"The granary fought to the death, and our people lost more than eighty percent."

A fellow came back from outside, his face full of sadness.

"What about Cui Qing?"

Cui Tae asked eagerly.

"Battle...... Didn't fight. ”

The man lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look at Cui Tai's face, since Li Qi left, in just over an hour, their proprietor seemed to be more than ten or twenty years old.

"Send someone...... Send someone to ask for a meeting with Xiahou Zhuo and tell him that I am willing to give up all the Cui family's property in Jizhou City in exchange for my brother's body and the safety of the Cui family. ”

As soon as Cui Tai's words fell, a man from outside hurriedly ran in, and said as he ran, "The proprietor, that person is here again." ”

"Who?!"

Cui Tai's heart was slightly shocked, and his first reaction was that Li Qi was back.

He walked quickly to the door, and saw Tang Pidi with a group of soldiers coming in from outside, they carried the corpses one by one, and put the corpses in the courtyard after entering, Tang Pi nodded to the soldiers, and the soldiers immediately lined up and exited the March River Tower.

"Brother Ling's corpse."

Tang Pidi pointed to one of the corpses wrapped in a white cloth and said, "This is what General Xiahou meant. ”

Cui Tai stood there, as if he had lost his soul, looked at Tang Pidi, and then at the corpse, and after a long time, he leaned over and clenched his fists: "Thank you Tang Gongzi, thank you General Xiahou." ”

Tang Pi said: "Mr. Cui is wise, he should understand what General Xiahou means by asking me to send Brother Ling's body back." ”

Cui Tai nodded: "Understood." ”

Tang Pidi asked, "What does Mr. Cui mean?" ”

Cui Tai was silent for a moment and then said, "You let me go out of the city alone, and I will go and talk to Cui Yan, the envoy of Qingzhou Jiedu, to Master Cui." ”

Tang Pidi hugged his fists: "Although Mr. Cui is an opponent, both you and Brother Ling are respectable, Brother Ling never thought of destroying the granary until he died in battle, and he died brightly, Tang respects such an opponent." ”

"Thank you."

Cui Tai clenched his fists again.

Tang Pi said: "General Xiahou said that if the Qingzhou soldiers retreat, he can personally escort the Cui clan out of the city. ”

After saying this, Tang Pidi turned around and left, and when he was about to walk to the door, Cui Tai suddenly asked.

"Tang Gongzi, General Xiahou is willing to let me and others out of the city, probably because of your persuasion."

Tang Pidi glanced back at Cui Tai, did not answer, and left with a smile.

Qin Zhuo stepped forward and said, "Could this be some kind of trickery, deliberately let us gather everyone, and then they will catch them all." ”

Cui Tai shook his head and said: "Not to mention Xiahou Zhuo and Li Qi, as well as this Tang rival, they can't do anything untrustworthy, just say that it is beneficial and harmless for them to let us go, and they will not break their promise." ”

He smiled bitterly and said: "The Cui family has not fallen, and there are soldiers from Qingzhou, let us go, first, we can relieve the siege of Jizhou, and second, ...... Let's go to other places to make plans again, with the strength of our Cui family, we can make a difference anywhere, whether we go to Qingzhou or other places, we can involve and divide the power of the imperial court. ”

He looked out the door, and Tang was gone.

"It's the time of young people."

At the railing on the third floor of the March River Building, Uncle Yingying looked like Cui Tai had aged a lot, and a smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth, she was a little happy that the Cui family was defeated, because she didn't like Cui Tai as a person.

Besides, just now she came out, and what she wanted to see was not Cui Tai but Tang Pi.

So Uncle Yingying was thinking, should he leave or stay? If you don't leave, killing people like Tang Pidi and Li Qi should be very fulfilling.

She is interested in Don Match,

Or because of Xu Yuanqing's hatred.

A manly husband knows that the current affairs are handsome, but she feels that she is a little woman, and the little woman has to hold grudges.

The Qingzhou army came from a long journey, and now it seems that it is about to return in vain, and it will be extremely disappointing for them, but for the people of Jizhou City, the war will end soon, and they are extremely happy.

However, it didn't end there.

Cui Tai first went out of the city to meet Cui Yanlai with Qingzhou Jiedu, and when he came back soon after, he sent someone to inform Xiahou Zhuo that Cui Yanlai had promised that as long as the Cui clan was released from Jizhou, the Qingzhou army would immediately retreat.

Of course, Xiahou Zhuo would not go back on his word, he didn't even let half of the people retreat first, but let them all out.

The Qingzhou army retreated for dozens of miles, and after the Cui clan left Jizhou City, the city gate was closed again.

Xiahou Zhuo stood on the city wall and watched the Cui family leave like a flock of sheep, he slowly exhaled a breath and said, "Let them go to other places." ”

Tang Pidi smiled and nodded.

At this moment, Xiahou Zhuo and Tang Pi felt that the matter was over.

However, on the afternoon of the fifth day, the scouts who were monitoring the retreat of the Qingzhou army suddenly rushed back and brought back a piece of news that shocked everyone's position.

"General......

The scout's face hadn't eased much as he spoke, and it seemed that he was still in that state of disbelief.

"What's so alarming?"

Xiahou said: "Take a breath of relief and speak slowly, the big deal is that the Qingzhou army has come back again, what else can there be." ”

"It's not...... It's not that the Qingzhou Army is back. ”

The scout swallowed and spit, and said in a hoarse voice: "The Qingzhou army retreated quickly, probably because they were worried that Qingzhou would be attacked by someone, and they didn't take Jizhou, and then they lost Qingzhou, and the gains outweighed the losses, so they retreated more than 200 miles in three days." ”

He glanced at Xiahou Zhuo and said, "Just when I first arrived at the Hutuo River, the Qingzhou army ..... Ambushed. ”

Xiahou Zhuo's eyes widened suddenly: "Who?" ”

"Lord ......"

The scout said: "Looking at it now, it should be that the prince's army doesn't know when it will come back, but it didn't go back to Jizhou to help, but set up an ambush in the Hutuo River, and the Qingzhou army retreated to the Hutuo River. ”

Xiahou Zhuo looked at Tang Pidi beside him, but saw that Tang Pidi's face was even more exciting, and his face seemed to be smiling.

"You...... What do you think? ”

Xiahou Zhuo subconsciously asked Tang Pidi.

Tang Pidi just smiled, but didn't say a word, Xiahou Zhuo waited for a while, Tang Pidi saw that he didn't give up, so he had to reluctantly say a few words.

"I ...... Can't see it. ”

After finishing speaking, he hugged his fists: "I'll go back to the carriage and horse shop first, the war is over, I'll go back and sleep well." ”

Xiahou Zhuo watched Tang Pidi turn around and leave, he also knew that Tang Pidi was inconvenient to say anything because of his identity.

"Stupid stupid stupid ......"

Tang Pidi came down from the city wall and muttered three words to himself as he walked.

His face on the city wall was wonderful, just because Prince Yu's operation made him feel too exciting......

Before the war, Tang Pidi once said that if the Qingzhou army besieged Jizhou, Prince Yu led an army to block the Yuzhou army, and then assigned a powerful general to storm Qingzhou, Qingzhou's troops were empty, and it was not difficult to take Qingzhou, even if it was to defeat half of Qingzhou's land.

He actually led the army back to fight the Qingzhou army......

If you take the land of Qingzhou, and then wait for work, the Qingzhou army will travel a long distance to rush back, and then fight the Qingzhou army, it will be easy to win a big victory.

Now Prince Yu thinks that he is very clever and leads people to intercept him halfway, and he really thinks that he can kill hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou troops and annihilate the whole army?

Even if it's a big victory, what is the gain? Captive? Or is there not much food and grass in the first place?

It seems that Prince Yu has been back for a while, Jizhou has been besieged for many days, and he has always stood still in the distance, but he sent someone to contact Luo Geng in Youzhou, in the middle

Road two pinching.

People with low vision must think that Prince Yu made a beautiful move and defeated the Qingzhou army in one fell swoop.

But in reality, there are too many misses.

Just now, Xiahou Zhuo asked Tang Piti on the city wall what he thought of it, and Tang Piti said how else to look at it, as a joke.

Prince Yu returned to the army, Yuzhou is not a fool, seeing Prince Yu go south and the army withdraws, they will definitely draw troops to attack Qingzhou, this side Prince Yu won a battle, even if the Qingzhou army loses half of it?

There are at least 150,000 Qingzhou troops will escape, Qingzhou Jiedu makes Cui Yan come to break the cauldron and sink the boat, even if the Yuzhou army does not attack Qingzhou, if the Yuzhou army takes the opportunity to join forces with the Qingzhou army, Prince Yu will go south again, and then he will be beaten by people united.

In order to win a battle and give up the entire land of Qingzhou, this is not picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon.

How to look at it, just watch it as a joke.

After Tang Pidi returned to the carriage and horse shop, he told Li Qi about it, and Li Qi was also a little stunned after hearing it.

Tang Pi said: "Xiahou asked me what I think, I can't say, if you say, what do you think?" ”

Li Qi sighed and said, "What do you think...... With a good handful of cards, he can win thousands of miles, and then he chose the smallest way to win, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, for tens of thousands of captives, and these tens of thousands of captives are still hidden dangers, with the largest card, play the most adventurous small victory, Prince Yu ......"

Tang Pi said: "Not only that, if my guess is correct, Prince Yu's character of retribution, what he wants is not those tens of thousands of captives, he wants to slaughter the Cui family." ”

Li Qi snorted, he also thought of it just now.

Prince Yu felt that this was Liwei, and felt that this was a declaration, and whoever offended him, he would let whoever destroyed him.

A few things in Jizhou City before were enough to see Prince Yu's character, and now that I look at it, Prince Yu is nothing more than that.

Tang Pidi smiled: "This is a matter of attacking each other's base camp, if you come to steal my home, I will steal your home, here in Jizhou, we will guard the home for him, and he changed his mind halfway not to steal the enemy's home." ”

He smiled and shook his head: "It's good that you didn't choose him in the first place." ”

Li Qi sighed: "Fortunately, Xiahou is not like him. ”

Prince Yu didn't think so at this time, he was still immersed in a big victory, he glanced at the people of the Cui family who were captured, old and young, there could be hundreds, all tied up and knelt outside.

Among them is Choi Tae.

Prince Yu walked outside, looked at Cui Tai who was kneeling there, and smiled, "Are you convinced now?" ”

Cui Tai, who was covered in blood, laughed: "I thought you were still a character, but now it seems that you are just a villain, how can a person like you win the world...... Prince Yu, with all due respect, if you can't cross the Nanping River, you will be defeated, and the family business that your son Xiahou Zhuo has worked so hard to keep for you will be taken by others within two years. ”

Prince Yu was furious, waved his hand and ordered: "All of them are cut down!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers under his tent swarmed up, escorted those members of the Cui family to the outside of the camp, and stabbed them to death on the bank of the Hutuo River.

Prince Yu asked, "Where is General Luo?" ”

His subordinates replied: "General Luo said that the military affairs of Youzhou are important, so he will not say goodbye to the prince, he is worried that the Yanzhou army will come to sneak attack, and go back to defend Youzhou." ”

Prince Yu hummed and said, "Luo Geng has seen it thoroughly. ”

At the same time, the Hutuo River was about 100 miles to the north, and the Youzhou army was on its way back.

Luo Geng rode on his horse, and the corners of his mouth were always smiling.

The men asked, "General, why are you smiling all the time?" ”

Luo Geng said with a smile: "After this battle, I saw clearly that Yang Jixing was just a fool, obviously he could take the opportunity to go south to seize a thousand miles of land, but he ran back to fight such a battle, and he thought how clever he was, after we went back, we would reorganize the armament and expand the troops and horses, and Yang Jixing would be defeated in less than two years. ”

He urged his horse and laughed forward.
