Several more messengers left Changsha City.

Another day.

Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian led the Western Xia Forbidden Army and Qi Tianjun from the border of Tongchuan Mansion to the territory of Pengzhou on the East Road of Lizhou.

Although Pengzhou is not wide, there are six cities under it. In the territory of Lizhou East Road, it is a quite prosperous state capital.

Qu Rujian and Helian Cheng led the army to Bazhou, and Pengzhou was the only way.

They entered directly into Pengzhou from the territory of Langzhou, and the army approached outside Pengchi County, the capital of Pengzhou, in just a few days.

Although the Western Xia Forbidden Army is far less powerful than the Great Song Forbidden Army, it seems that with so many soldiers, it seems that it is quite scary to spread all over the mountains.

The most important thing is that now the news that the Lizhou East Road and other armies were destroyed by the forbidden army in the southernmost frontier of Langzhou has reached here before the army.

Pengzhou Zhizhou, as a powerful official in Pengzhou, is a close confidant of Pang Hongguang. is only a cronie, and at this time, he naturally has to think about his own net worth.

In the end, Pang Hongguang is just a mere envoy of Lizhou East Road, and it is still difficult for people to die for him. After all, in this era, it is said that he is loyal to the king, but he does not say that he must be loyal to the festival.

As a result, the armies of Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian did not encounter any resistance in Pengchi City. Just like what Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Hongwei and Miao Cheng encountered in Dali.

The defenders of Lizhou East Road, Fengxiang Road, and Lintao Road were wiped out in southern Xinjiang, and the general trend has gone. The situation is not much different from Dali.

Pengzhou Zhizhou, who was sitting in Pengchi City, led the officials in the city to greet Qu Rujian, Helian Cheng and others outside the city.

This guy has even been ready to surrender a long time ago. Not only the officials in Pengchi City, but also the county commanders of Yilong, Yingshan and other counties among the people behind him.

These county orders undoubtedly came to Pengchi City in a hurry after receiving the instructions of the governor of Pengzhou.

Otherwise, with their status, they are afraid that they will not even have the qualifications to surrender. After all, Qu Rujian and Helian Cheng will not take the county seat in their eyes.

How big was the county seat in this era?

Before arriving at the army, Pengzhou Zhizhou and other Pengzhou officials knelt on the ground, and Pengzhou Zhizhou said: "I don't know that Pang Hongguang has anti-intentions, which caused a big mistake of aiding and abetting abuse, and I ask the two generals for forgiveness." ”

He shouldn't have said this to Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian. But with the status of Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian, it can't be considered too absurd.

After all, this district Pengzhou Zhizhou can't rush to Zhongxing Mansion to ask for guilt in front of the empress.

Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian sat on their horses, looking at each other, with some smiles in their eyes.

Pengzhou Zhizhou went out of the city to beg, which seems to be a good start. If they can take the entire Lizhou East Road without using swords like this, of course, it is the thing they are most happy to see.

As for whether the Pengzhou Zhizhou knows that Pang Hongguang has an anti-heart, they are self-conscious.

The governors of Lizhou East Road are all Pang Hongguang's people, and there is really no reason not to know.

However, Helian Cheng only nodded lightly and said to Pengzhou Zhizhou: "Those who don't know are not guilty." Since Lord Zhizhou led the crowd to come out to ask for guilt, I think Lord Zhizhou is still loyal to the emperor and our Xixia. Ben will report the matter of the adults going out of the city to ask for their sins to the emperor like this, and when the time comes, presumably the emperor will not blame you. ”

This should be regarded as a tender wrist after the iron wrist.

Since Helian Cheng dared to say such a thing, it was undoubtedly instructed by Li Xiushu.

It is enough to kill half of the soldiers in Lizhou East Road and other places, so that the general trend is gone. Li Xiushu obviously did not plan to destroy all the soldiers in Lizhou East Road and other places.

Imagine, if Qu Rujian and Helian City were to kill in Pengchi City, then after that, the soldiers of the rest of the states on the Lizhou East Road would not have to resist desperately?

In this way, even with the strength of the Western Xia Forbidden Army, it is not easy to completely subdue the Lizhou East Road. Even if it can be done, I am afraid that it will lose a lot.

And when the time comes, Li Xiushu will have to re-recruit defenders in places such as Lizhou East Road. This is too much of her energy, and it is too much of Xixia's national strength.

With Li Xiushu's temperament, she would not do such a stupid thing.

Kill what should be killed, and stay what should stay.

Perhaps in Li Xiushu's eyes, in fact, it doesn't matter whether these officials have their hearts towards Pang Hongguang or not. It doesn't matter if they've ever made a big mistake.

As the emperor, she will only think about the entire Western Xia national strength.

Compared with the defenders of Lizhou East Road and other places, it is really harmless to leave the lives of these criminals. It's not a big deal to blame them for the past.

With the official titles and real power of these people, it will be difficult to raise any storms in the future.

Moreover, if Li Xiushu wants to clean them up, she just waits to take down Pang Hongguang, the culprit, and there is still a chance.

And Pengzhou Zhizhou and other officials would not think so far-reaching, and they did not dare to think about it.

All they could see was the way around at the moment, because they had no choice.

Hearing Helian Cheng's words, they were already relieved. At the very least, this big skull can be regarded as preserved for the time being.

None of the officials dared to get up in a hurry.

The leader of Pengzhou Zhizhou kowtowed to Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian, and said again and again: "Thank you to the two generals!" I also asked the two generals to say a few kind words for us and other guilty ministers in front of the emperor. ”

After saying that, he looked up at Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian, and the look in his eyes was self-evident.

Regardless of whether Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian agree or not, he must have offered many benefits to the two of them.

These benefits may be the people's fat and ointment he has looted in Pengzhou over the years. If you continue to stay in your hands, you will only become a hot potato.

Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian nodded with a chuckle.

For a moment, the situation seemed to be a happy situation for both the guests and the hosts.

Although the sky is gloomy now, it seems to be very clear in the eyes of these Pengzhou officials.

After everyone got up, they hurriedly invited Qu Rujian, Helian Cheng and the army to the city.

Subsequently, in the government of Pengzhou, the governor of Pengzhou led the officials to a banquet for Helian City, Qu Rujian, etc., needless to mention.

Qu Rujian and Helian Cheng did not lead the army out of the city again that day, and the army was stationed in Pengchi City.

The people in the city were surprised and frightened, but when they saw that there was no chaos in the city, their hearts gradually calmed down.

On this day and night, Qu Rujian and Helian Cheng stayed in the barracks.

The governor of Pengzhou led several important officials of Pengzhou to their military camp quietly.

Of course, it's here to send benefits.

The gold, silver, jewelry, antique treasures and other items he gave away, even with the vision of Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian, were actually surprised.

These Pengzhou officials are really rich.

At the same time, in Luzhou City, Tongchuan Fu Road, there were also many people in gray clothes who entered the city overnight.

All of them have weapons on their backs.

After entering the city, these gray-clothed people went straight to the Luzhou Mansion where Qin Han had temporarily settled.

Outside the palace, they only handed over tokens to the guards at the gate.

Then I saw Qin Han, who was already asleep, rushed to the gate of the mansion to greet him.

These gray men are all from a lot of backgrounds.

They are either masters in the palace of the Broken Military Academy, or masters of the rivers and lakes surrounded by Duan Qilin. There are more than ten people in total, all of whom are True Martial Realm cultivators.

Among them, the leader is the deputy palace master of the broken army who is extremely close to the pseudo-extreme realm. is the one who went to Dali Palace with Yu Linglong.

Throughout the entire New Song Dynasty, except for the Broken Army Palace Master and Xie Lisan of the Pseudo-Extreme Realm, he is the strongest person who deserves to be.

Duan Qilin was able to send him to Luzhou City, which undoubtedly showed his importance and trust in Qin Han, as well as his desire and determination to take Chongqing Mansion.

That is, the Palace Master of the Broken Army needs to suppress Xie Lisan, who is also in the Pseudo Extreme Realm, in Jiading Mansion, otherwise, Duan Qilin may even send the Palace Master of the Broken Army.

Although Qin Han is the king of the enemy, but in the end, he is a person in the Guigu Academy, and after seeing all the masters, he saluted with the courtesy of his juniors, and arched his hand: "Qin Han has seen all the seniors. ”

The broken army and the ghost valley are the same family.

The face of the deputy palace master of the broken army was no longer cold, he looked at Qin Han with a slightly stiff smile, and said, "Qin boy, you are now the king of the enemy, so you don't need to be so polite." ”

Qin Han only said: "Qin Han is the king of the enemy, and he is also the Qin boy in the eyes of your uncles. ”

It seems that he is not completely different from the world, and he still needs to look at people.

Behind the deputy palace master of the broken army, the old man without eyebrows and the old man with thick eyebrows laughed more warmly than the deputy palace master of the broken army.

Qin Han has been in the Ghost Valley School Palace for many years, and they can be regarded as growing up. At the beginning, this kid was quite favored by the elders of the two palaces, and for this reason, he also had a scolding war.

Although Qin Han chose to enter the Ghost Valley Academy in the end, he still had a good relationship with the masters of the Zhupo Military Academy Palace.

And now he is married to Qingwu from the Broken Military Academy, which makes the relationship between the two parties closer.
