Nancheng fought desperately, but he didn't wait for Yuanguang to come back to respond.

After the fifty Qin cavalry that followed him was defeated by An Chong and others, An Chong also recognized him, so he only captured him and did not kill him. Looking at the northeast a few times, I couldn't see Yuanguang, Pu Badger Sun, etc., although An Chong was regretful, he had no choice but to give up, and ordered the cavalry to kill all the captured Qin cavalry, and kill the heads of the Qin cavalry, cut them off together, hang the horse's head, and take the armor of these Qin cavalry and the armor that can still be used, such as knives, lances, bows and arrows, etc., and drive their war horses, that is, turn back, and go to Yinping County.

Outside Yinping County, I think that the main generals of the Qin army, Pu Badger Sun and Tonghuliang, have fled one after another, Zhao Xing has turned against the water, and the rest of the Qin army soldiers are not the opponents of Xin Er and Koji Qiu, but they have been defeated.

Outside the moat, inside, and especially outside, the position where the main array of Qin soldiers was originally located, the yellow land seemed to be stained red with blood, and there were pools of blood everywhere, and there were corpses of enemies and enemies everywhere, among which the Qin soldiers were the majority, and there were also ownerless war horses.

Looking at the north and west of Yinping County, on the huge field, the red-armored Dingxi soldiers took advantage of the victory to chase the north, chasing and killing the Qin soldiers wearing white uniforms and scattering and fleeing, or a small number of Dingxi soldiers armed with knives, majestically escorting groups of Qin army prisoners to the pre-planned prisoner assembly place.

An Chong and the others rode through the chaotic and orderly wide battlefield, and found Xin Er outside the city gate in the north of Yinping County.

Xin Er is talking to Koji.

——After defeating Pu Badger Sun and Tonghuliang Division, Beigong Yue and Wang Shuwang each led their own troops and went to chase and annihilate the fleeing enemy with the soldiers of the Xin Er Division, so as to expand the results of the battle, leaving the koji ball alone to meet Xin Er outside the city.

There are three kinds of merit in battle, one is the "first climb" during the siege of the city, and the other is the "trap" in the field, both of which are first-class merits, and in addition, the merit is calculated according to the number of enemy captives and booty captured by his subordinates and men. That is to say, the pursuit of the fleeing enemy, expand the results, in exchange for a lot of military achievements, Koji Qiu grew up in the ranks, of course, he will not be unaware of this, but he took the initiative to give up the pursuit of the enemy, not only to meet Xin Er, but also his consciousness as the main general, willing to behead and capture such credit to the generals, not to compete with it.

An Chong dismounted from afar, grabbed Nancheng's arm, and twisted him to the front of Xin Er and Koji Ball.

Koji Qiu didn't recognize Nancheng, looked at him, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

An Chongyu reported: "The younger brother of the dog thief Yuanguang, and the man of Qu Cheng. ”

Koji Qiu is a person who loves cleanliness, although An Chong has not met him many times, but every time he saw him before, Koji Qiu was neat and tidy, not to mention clothes, even his beard was neatly tied, but at this time, he saw that his hair was in a bun, and his face was dusty, it should be the blood stains on the armor that had not been removed for many days, mixed with dust, and it was also dirty.

However, his eyes, though bloodshot, were obviously very sleep-deficient, but they were still the same as before, and the gaze released fell on people, making people feel warm and bright, as if the spring light on this April morning was not affected by these days in the slightest.

Looking back on the experience of Koji Qiu these days, An Chongxin said: "First of all, he stuck to Xiangwu County for more than ten days, and then led hundreds of remnants to resolutely go south to Yinping, and then guarded Yinping County for nearly ten days. ”

An Chong asked himself, if he was a koji ball, would he be able to do what koji balls do? He didn't have to think about it to find the answer, he couldn't do it. Not to mention anything else, just the one who finally broke out of Xiangwu County, for the sake of the overall situation, but did not return to Longzhou, and took the initiative to go to the dangerous place again to enter Yinping, An Chong couldn't do it. Not only can he not do it, but in the entire Dingxi Kingdom, I am afraid that few people can do it.

If Xin Er is a person that An Chong admires, then Koji Qiu is the second person he admires.

An Chong admires Xin Er, what he admires is Xin Er's treatment of talented and brave people, tolerance of allies, and ruthless treatment of political enemies,—— Xin Er's grand desire to "restore the Central Plains" can be resonated with Tang Ai and others, An Chong is a Sogdian, but he doesn't feel much about it, in other words, in An Chong's eyes, Xin Er is just a "Ming Lord" image who can change power, win people, and use people, and also have enough ability to grasp power. And An Chong's admiration for Koji Qiu is purely admiring Koji Qiu, that is, Koji Qiu is a well-deserved "hero" in his eyes.

Xin Er and Koji Qiu are all people that An Chong admires.

At this time, the two of them stood together, he was the same age, although the koji ball was taller and the body was strong, but Xin Er had been a superior for a long time, and his bearing was graceful.

For a while, it can be compared to the twin stars of Dingxi.

An Chong thought unconsciously: "Ming Gong Su has the ambition to pacify the Central Plains, Qin, Wei, and He Hun are all strong enemies, and it is difficult to destroy these enemies with a partial Longzhou state!" Koji Shuang, Cao Fei and the princes may not be of great use, only General Long Xiang can become the arm of the Ming Gong! ”

Xin Er's clear voice sounded, An Chong hurriedly collected these thoughts that came out of his heart, listened carefully, and heard Xin Er ask, "Didn't you go after the badger grandson?" How did you bring back a male adult? …… Could it be that you met Yuanguang halfway? ”

An Chong replied: "Ming Gong is like a god! When Xiaohu was about to catch up with Pu Badger Sun, Yuan Guang suddenly led Qin to ride more than 100 to kill ,...... It didn't hurt for him to kill Ben, but he sent a male Cheng to lead fifty horsemen to block Xiaohu, and Pu Badger Sun was rescued by him. ”

Xin Er nodded, looked at Nan Cheng who was kneeling on the ground, and asked him: "Nan Cheng, you and Yuanguang betrayed me Dingxi and took refuge in Pu Qin, you are willing to be a thief, and you rebelled, but why did you kill your uncle Lu Zhu?" Don't you have any family affection with Yuanguang? Let me ask you, did you kill Koji Zhu, did you kill it? Or did you two work together to kill it? ”

Yuanguang killed Koji Zhu, and Nancheng couldn't accept it, but in the face of Xin'er's inquiry, Nancheng had the backbone to betray Yuanguang, don't look away, and didn't speak.

Xin Er said: "Nancheng, I know you, you are a simple teenager, you can't do the killing of your uncle, this must have been done by Yuanguang." ”

The man still didn't speak.

Xin Er didn't ask any more questions, ordered the servants, and said: "Take him down, wait until you return to Guyin, hand it over to his father, and let his father do it himself!" ”

An Chong asked: "Ming Gong, if you can spare him, it is the same as killing, why don't you kill him now, and bring him back to Guyin to do something!" ”

Xin Er said: "He defected with Yuanguang, this is the public, he and Yuanguang killed Koji Zhu, this is his family's private affairs, first by Baruo can deal with their family's private affairs, and then deal with his defection." ”

Koji Qiu understood Xin Er's intention to do this, and said with a smile: "Once the private matter is over, there will be no more defectors to Lu Shuihu from now on!" ”

If Yuanguang and Nancheng just defected, in Lu Shuihu's interior, maybe Yuanguang would not have a bad reputation, and maybe even some of Lu Shuihu's young people would be regarded as warriors of their own clan, because many people in Lu Shuihu were actually similar to Yuanguang's thoughts, and they also regarded Dingxi Kingdom as the party that enslaved them, but once Yuanguang and Nancheng killed their uncle Ko Zhu, it was conclusively implemented under Nancheng's testimony, no matter what the reason, killing his own slave father was an out-and-out evil deed, then it can be imagined, Inevitably, there will be no more Lu Shuihu's Hu Mu to "support" Yuanguang, and Yuanguang fled to Pu Qin, so in the future battle with Pu Qin, of course, there is no need to worry about Lu Shuihu's soldiers mutiniing to Qin.

Xin Er sighed: "I treat Yuanguang very kindly, but he betrayed me and joined the enemy, so that Cao Lingjun, General Tian and others could not rush to Xiangwu in time to aid Yu Qing, and because he went around the city and lied that Cao Lingjun and other reinforcements were annihilated, the morale of Xiangwu guards was depressed, and Xiangwu was lost. Every time I think about it, I am terrified! Chang Hate failed to identify Yuanguang's treachery early and did not kill him. Girl, if something happens to you because of this, I will collapse half of the sky! Seeing that the male Cheng was taken away from the officials, he said to Koji Qiu, "Girl, one day, when you attack Pu Qin and capture Yuanguang, I will hand him over to you and you will dispose of it!" ”

Koji Qiu said: "How can the ball dare to be half a piece of the west of the sky? If you want to say half a day, it must be the general! ”

Xin Er Zhengse said: "I have my own strengths, but when it comes to the enemy's strategy, dare to be surprised, I am not as good as Qing."

"Shi Cai was looking at the few hidden soldier holes dug out by Qing in the west section of the north wall of the city, and I heard that Qing said that Qing sent Qu Nanhu and other dead soldiers, out of this, when the Qin soldiers who attacked the city outside the city, girl, I was thinking, this kind of conspiracy and courage can only be thought of by you, and only you can dare to do it! I can't do it. I'm not as good as you! ”

Koji Qiu smiled: "Why should the general be too humble. That's just a little trick, it's not elegant, and it can't be compared with the general's strategy and the temple's decisive victory! If the general praised the ball again, the ball couldn't be said, so he had to exchange courtesies and praise the general. ”

Xin Er asked, "What are you praising me?" ”

Koji Qiu said: "This time, the general led his troops over Minshan, and the strange soldiers descended from the sky, defeating Pu Badger Sun and Tonghuliang, this is a conspiracy and courage!" The ball is beyond the reach of the general. ”

Xin Er laughed and said, "Mingzong, you praised the wrong person!" The plan to climb over Minshan is not my plan, it is a thousand-mile strategy. What I did was just a trip to Minshan! Holding Koji's hand, he carefully looked at his dirty cheeks and dirty armor again, and said with emotion, "Girl! Hearing the moment you led your troops south to Yinping, do you know what kind of mood I felt? I respect your determination to take care of my overall situation, but I am even more worried about your safety! Fortunately, this time there was no delay on the road like the last time I supported Xiangwu, and I finally arrived in time with the troops! ”

Koji Qiu felt Xin Er's sincere concern and attention to him, so he said: "General, the three counties of Qinzhou are connected to Longzhou in the west, Hanzhong County in the south, and Xianyang in the east can be forced to coerce Qinyu, and through Hanzhong County, they can join forces with Jiangzuo on the front line, this place is related to the general's lofty ambition to restore the Central Plains in the future, how can Qiu not swear to die as a general and defend it for our country?" The general's long-term plan is big, and the ball is in danger. ”

Xin Er was unhappy, and said earnestly: "The long-term map must be realized by people, and without people, how to realize the long-term map?" Girl, in the coming year's Eastern Expedition to the Central Plains, we want to borrow the ability of the Qing to fight side by side with the Qing, and the Qing must not cherish his life! ”

Koji Qiu replied solemnly: "Remember the general's teachings, and the ball will not dare to forget." ”

Xin Er turned his face and smiled, raised his head to look at the city wall of Yinping County after the battle, looked at the battlefield that was still chasing the enemy on a small scale for a moment, and then looked at the koji ball, and finally turned his head sideways, looked at the direction of Guanzhong and the Central Plains in the northeast, made a gesture of distant imagination, let go of the hand holding the koji ball, pressed the sword and said: "Girl, wait until the two of us roll across Guanzhong and Hebei, wash the Central Plains, relieve the people from hanging upside down, and lead the troops to the seaside, drink happily together, and call the Lord of Qin, Lord Wei, and He Hun to dance in front of our banquet, you say, Wouldn't it be a quick thing to live? ”

Koji Qiu's face showed a look of longing, and with Xin Er's gaze, he also looked at the sky in the northeast, and his hand also pressed on the hilt of the sword, and said: "Thinking about the ball, the most lively thing in the world is nothing more than this!" ”

The battle for the enemy gradually ceased in the evening.

Each department sent the captured prisoners and beheaded heads to the Chinese army, and the military officials wrote them down one by one and entered them into the valve reading book. Needless to say, the captive, the head, some of the subordinates sent the head, some tried to save trouble, the suspect had too many heads and it was difficult to take, and the left ear was sent, whether it was the head or the left ear, they all counted. After summarizing the reports of each department, the military officials reported the overall number to Xin'er.

In total, more than 2,000 were beheaded and more than 5,000 were captured.

There were tens of thousands of soldiers in Pu Badger Sun and Tongho Liang Division, but in addition to these seven or eight thousand, the rest were escaped by them. This is also inevitable, in the end, the soldiers of the Xin'er Department do not have the absolute upper hand in numbers, and it is difficult to annihilate all the enemies.

That night, Xin Er discussed the next step with Kojiqiu, Beigong Yue, Tang Ai, Guo Daoqing, Wang Shuwang, as well as Zhao Xing, who was newly invested, and Zhao Xing's brother Zhao Rangan.

Everyone unanimously agreed with Tang Ai's proposal.

The highlight of the next step is, of course, to attack Longxi County with Cao Fei and Tian Ju, but Zhang Daochong and Li Liang, who are now trapped on Qiuchi Mountain and are being besieged by Ran Seng Nu and Qiu Tai, cannot be ignored, so they should divide their troops into two routes, one road as the main force, go north to attack Longxi County, one road to the division, and go to Wudu County in the northeast to rescue Zhang Daochong and Li Liang.

Xin Er made a decision, and he and Koji Qiu attracted the Dingxi soldiers and Zhao Xingbu who came to aid Yinping, and went to Longxi County; With Beigong Yue and Wang Shuwang leading the soldiers and horses of the two of them, totaling 3,000, they first went to meet with the Yan Raid Department, and then went to aid Zhang Daochong and Li Liang together.

Most of Kojiqiu's troops were lost in Longxi County, and when he broke through, he only brought hundreds of soldiers with him, and then defended Yinping County, and suffered a lot of casualties, and there were less than 300 people in his tent.

Xin Er had the heart to give him some of this part, but he didn't want the koji ball.

He said with a smile: "The Qin Lu in Longxi County is one or two hundred thousand elites, and this counterattack on Longxi will be a tough battle." The general's troops are not familiar with the ball, the generals do not know the soldiers, the soldiers do not know the generals, and they are under the command of the generals, so that they can give full play to their combat power. As for the ball club, although there are few today, but in today's battle, didn't thousands of prisoners be captured? You can choose the one who can use it, temporarily by the ball rate, and when waiting for the war, the ball will be the general's strong momentum, which is enough. ”

Xin Er really likes the character of Koji Qiu, and sighed: "If the generals in the country are like Mingzong, not afraid of death, not fighting for merit, and knowing the general situation, then I will be small in Dingxi, and Qin and Wei will not be able to be destroyed!" Shen Yin said, "Ming Zong, the captive usable, what do you mean?" ”

Koji Qiu said: "Those Qin prisoners' soldiers must not be used, but many of the captives are the Qiang chieftains and Di chieftains of Yinping County who are attached to Pu Badger Sun, and these prisoners are only for their own interests, and they really have no loyalty to Qin Lu, so Qiu thinks they can be used." ”

"It's available, but the new generation has just been captured, so I'm afraid that it won't work in a short time, right?"

Koji Qiu said: "Okay or not, you will only know if you have tried, and the ball will try them tonight." If it works, use it; If it doesn't work, don't use it. ”

Xin Er guessed the method of "trying" the koji ball, and said with a smile: "Okay! Then it's up to Qing to give it a try! ”
