The place further north of Yanshan, that is, the place called the barbaric Saibei by the Chu people of the Central Plains, no Central Plains people dare to come here at will.

After crossing Yanshan Mountain and then passing through a strip of yellow sand, you can see the ancient city of Qinguan.

This was once the northernmost border pass garrisoned by the Chu army, and when it was the strongest, there were thousands of garrisons, and the Chu flag was also fluttering here.

Later, as the national strength became weaker and weaker, it was no longer able to support this border city, and after being besieged by the black warriors for several days, the isolated Chu border army lost hope and lost tomorrow, and the last Chu soldier also fell.

A border city symbolizes the dignity of a country and the gateway of a country, which is of great significance.

Those veterans who died here did not insult the dignity of the Chu State, it was Chu himself who gave up the door.

Although Chu still claimed that the Qin Pass in Saibei was the country's territory, it had already been occupied by many small tribes driven by the Black Warriors.

The Black Warriors broke through the Qin Pass, and then occupied the land and pastures of many small tribes, forcing them to migrate to this barbaric land.

And these tribes who were driven here began to oppress and slaughter the Central Plains people who originally lived here, and this place became even more barbaric.

On the wall of Qinguan, Li Qi stood here, with mixed feelings.

They had been chasing for days, but finally had to give up for the time being.

Tang Pi led the army to attack Tanglin Mountain, and the Tanglin Road, which had only a few thousand rabble, naturally could not hold it.

The black warrior fled north with the people of the Sword Gate, and Tang Pidi was going to personally lead the army to pursue, but he received an urgent report from Mr. Yan.

After Tang Pidi knew that something had happened to the Yanshan camp, he immediately rushed back with the army of Tangtai Pressure.

On the banks of the Xiaoqing River, Li Qi and Tang matched them and killed more than 40,000 people of the Baishan Army in a battle, and also killed Lao Yi.

According to Li Qi's idea, he wanted to kill Lao Shuize to avenge Yu Chaozong, even if he couldn't kill Lao Shuize on the battlefield for the time being, he had to kill him in other ways.

However, after sending people south to inquire about the news, he learned that Lao Shuize was dead, and he was poked by Luo Jingyi, and he was trampled into pulp by the rebels.

The scout also found out that the Battle of Jizhou was the layout of Prince Wu Yang Jiju, which not only destroyed the Baishan Army and the Yanzhou Army in one fell swoop, but also severely damaged Luo Geng's Youzhou Army.

After hearing the news, Li Qi and the others could only let go of their plans to go south, because there were more important things they had to do.

The Yanshan camp was gone, and the grain and grass were burned, although not all of them were burned, but the collected ones were only enough for the team to use for more than a month.

If you want to survive this green and yellow period, it will take at least two or three months to wait for the grain they planted under Yanshan to come down.

If it is in Yuzhou, the wheat is already ripe at the end of May, but the climate in the north is cold, and the wheat can not be beaten until July.

In the past two or three months, Li Qi had to find a way to feed the team, and there were still seven or eight thousand people watching him.

So Li Qi made a decision, leaving Gao Xining and them, as well as Mr. Ye and Mr. Yan and others, leaving a team of 6,000 to rebuild the cottage while guarding the fertile fields under the mountain.

At first, Li Qi was worried that Luo Geng would be wiped out, although he defeated Lao Yi's 50,000 Baishan army, but Luo Geng would not be able to give him a chance to breathe.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Yanshan camp is so embarrassed now, as long as Luo Geng can spare time, he will immediately attack Li Qi.

But fortunately, in the battle of Jizhou City, Luo Geng was once again angry and vomited blood and fell from his horse, and even his so-called invincible ironclad heavy cavalry lost most of it.

After this war, the strength of the Youzhou army is gone, and now where is the time and energy to take care of the Yanshan battalion.

Therefore, Li Qi asked the team to rebuild the cottage after returning from the scout's inquiry, and he and Tang were rivals and Zhuang Wushu and others, and left Yanshan with a cavalry team of more than 1,000 people.

They divided the team into three teams, one was to track down the whereabouts of those black warriors, and the other was to solve the problem of grain and grass for the Ning army.

Li Qi fought the idea of those black martial tribes.

A few days ago, Li Qi led people to raid a black warrior tribe and captured a lot, coincidentally, those black warriors who were in Tanglin Mountain before were also in this tribe.

Li Qi led the army in pursuit and chased to the ancient city of Qinguan in one go, but in the end he still did not catch up.

If he pursued further, it was full of dangers, and Li Qi didn't dare to gamble with the life and death of his brothers, so the team stopped at Qinguan.

"From here to the south, there can really be five hundred miles to Yanshan."

Li Qi looked back and said to himself: "I heard a sentence at the beginning, Yanwai Qinguan is five hundred miles, and Hu Ji is in Chu for a while......"

"I can still hear Hu Ji's bursts now, but it's no longer Chu Di." ”

Li Qi snorted, looked at the vast wilderness, and looked down at the mottled ancient city, feeling a little depressed.

"Let's go back."

"These are all black warrior tribes, big and small, and those black warriors have a place to dodge and escape, if they chase them again, they will also have time to reorganize the team, and we will be trapped here." ”

Li Qi snorted and patted his hand on the wall of Qinguan: "In the future, I will plant the flag back." ”

"This is actually not the northernmost border city in the entire Great Chu, it can only be regarded as the northernmost border city in the northwest."

As he walked, he said, "When our Great Chu was at its strongest, even the area around Luojia Lake was our territory. ”

Li Qi said: "I hope that one day, we will also plant the flag of our Central Plains in Luojia Lake." ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the blazing red Ningzi banner, and then strode down the ancient city, under the city, the soldiers had already mounted their war horses, waiting for his order.

"Back to the camp."

Li Qi pulled up the scarf to cover half of his face, and got on the horse and walked forward.

The wind and sand in the north of the country are strong, and I watched the team walk through the wind and sand from a distance, like a black dragon swimming in the Yellow Sea.

It has been two months since Yu Chaozong was killed, and Li Qi and his team continued to fight in Saibei, relying on the captured materials, they survived this green and yellow shortage.

The wheat under the Yan Mountain has been golden, the wind blows the wheat waves, poetic and picturesque, Li Qi after they came back, it coincided with a bumper harvest.

Seeing that the fields were all harvesting by the soldiers of the Ning Army, this scene made Li Qi's mood open again.

Gao Xining had a scarf wrapped around her head, her little face was covered with dust, and the sweat washed out the traces of the dust one by one, but it was difficult to hide her flawless beauty.

"The big boss is back!"

The sharp-eyed man shouted.

Gao Xining, who was bending down to cut wheat, immediately stood up straight, and she looked at the side of the official road, where the mighty cavalry team had returned, and brought back countless cattle and sheep.

"Ahh

Gao Xining shouted, waving his hand and running towards the pipe.

In the sky, the hovering dog let out a cry, and the sound was so crisp and pleasant that even its bark revealed a sense of joy.

On the other side, the eagle that looked like a mountain of meat also ran towards Li Qi, and the fat big ass was particularly eye-catching.

Li Qi jumped off the war horse and ran towards Gao Xining, the two of them ran together, looking at Gao Xining's dirty little face, Li Qi felt distressed for a while.

She is a beautiful and scholarly family, but now she has become a person who works in the fields with a sickle in her hand, and she is just a little girl.

"I'm tired."

Li Qi asked.

He raised his hand to help Gao Xining wipe his sweat, but when he raised his hand, he found that his hands were also dirty.

When he paused, Gao Xining snorted, reached out and grabbed Li Qi's hand, picked it up and wiped it back and forth on her own face.

This time, that little face, it looks like a civet cat, horizontal and vertical dirt road.

Li Qi looked at her and giggled, she looked at Li Qi and giggled.

"Let's go, go collect the grain."

Gao Xining pulled Li Qi to walk into the wheat field, and said as he walked: "Grandpa has come to the field, and he said that looking at these wheat, it is as happy as seeing many, many students who have already learned." ”

"Huh?"

Li Qi was taken aback when he heard this.

Dean Gao actually went down to the field?!

In the Central Plains, if a scholar works in the fields, he will be looked down upon, and it seems that a scholar should be born to be industrious.

Especially a great Confucian like Dean Gao can actually let go of his identity like this, which is actually a miracle.

Li Qi followed Gao Xining forward, and when he was far away, he saw two old men wearing straw hats, tying wheat stalks there.

Changmei Dao taught the dean how to work, and said with a relieved face: "I didn't expect you, an old man, to be a good hand at farm work." ”

Dean Gao said proudly: "As long as I seriously want to learn something, how can anything stump me?" ”

The long-eyebrow Taoist pouted: "Have a child and understand?" ”

Dean Gao was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "Disrespect for the old!" It's not serious! Bah! ”

Changmei Daoren shook his head and said: "Your tone is not right, you dislike people, just talking, no matter how heavy the tone is, it will almost mean it, come, you learn from me...... Oh, smack! ”

Dean Gao: "Heh, smack! ”

Then the two old men laughed together, one said that you were like a fart, and the other said that you were not only like a fart, but also a shit.

Where is it like what the great Confucian said......

was making a fuss, and when they saw Li Qi and Gao Xining running over, the two old men blushed and coughed a few times, and they all felt that they should pretend to be serious at this time.

"Look."

Dean Gao pointed to the wheat field, adjusted his tone, and said with full emotion: "The south wind rises at night, the wheat is covered with yellow, the woman and aunt are eating lotus, the child carries the pot pulp, and goes with the field, and Ding Zhuang is ......in Nangang."

The long-eyebrow Taoist nodded deeply, and with a flash of inspiration, he continued to say two more sentences: "Peel off like jade grains, not peel off like gold." ”

Li Qi smiled and picked up two more sentences: "Listen to and pee fart from afar, and listen to Zannong busy." ”

The two old men looked for their crutches at the same time, and Li Qi immediately dodged back.

"I finally got through it."

Dean Gao said with a smile: "After harvesting the summer grain, plant the autumn grain, and wait until the autumn grain is harvested again, don't say that this year, next year can also get by." ”

Li Qi nodded, and was about to say something, when he saw a returning scout in the distance, riding on the official road, and there was a cloud of dust and smoke behind him.

Li Qi was afraid that there was some urgent military situation, so he hurriedly greeted him, and the scout looked as if he had just climbed out of the mound, but it was conceivable that he had been on the road for a long time.

Seeing Li Qi, the scout leaned over and said, "Big boss, I just found out a good news!" ”

Li Qi smiled and asked, "What is the good news, you rushed back in such a hurry to report the news." ”

The scout said, "Luo Geng is dead. ”

Li Qi was stunned when he heard these four words.

He looked at the scout with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

The scout nodded heavily, "It's indeed dead...... When I rushed back, the city of Youzhou was already full of white clothes, and the Youzhou army was all dressed in linen and filial piety. ”

As soon as the scout's words were finished, someone galloped over the official road, and the man dismounted as if to inquire where Li Qi was, and someone pointed to this side, and the man immediately rushed over.

When he got closer, the man leaned over and bowed, "Big boss, I am from Youzhou Shen Yitang, and I came to deliver a message to you...... Ragon is dead. ”

Li Qi stood there, a little stunned for a moment.

Shen Yitang's messenger continued: "After Luo Geng returned from Jizhou, he couldn't afford to be sick, coughing up blood every day, and he was treated for a long time but there was no improvement. ”

After listening to this, Li Qi slowly exhaled, and he asked, "What is the movement of the Youzhou Army?" ”

The two messengers shook their heads at the same time.

Li Qi knew that Luo Jing would never give up, such a big hatred, with Luo Jing's character, how could he not revenge.
