Outside Leizhou City, Song Qing's camp was in flames, but Song Qing had already made arrangements before a stick of incense, and at this time, there were only thousands of people in the camp holding shields while fighting and retreating.

This battle cannot be shaken, so after Song Qing left a few thousand troops, the army has long since disappeared. There are two reasons why the news is so reactive;

First, Leng Yu will not lead the army out of the city to help.

Second, Ye Linyuan's army has not arrived for a long time, and in order to ensure thoroughness, he should avoid Tuoba Front.

Although Song Qing is a stunned gentleman, he is not a fool, and he is not completely sure, so the battle is still dragging on.

So the army took advantage of the darkness of the night and marched towards a small city in the north. The name of this city is Maocheng, which is named after an oasis on the side of the city. Maocheng is not big, fifty miles away from Leizhou City, and it can be reached in an hour.

There are less than 3,000 defenders here, and they all went to Leizhou City to fight against Tuoba, and Song Qing can only temporarily camp here at this time.

Tuoba did not dispatch all the troops in this raid, and its purpose was to explore the reality and reality, mainly in Leizhou City, and if you take this city, you can try to go south, and if you can't take it, you will have no place in Kyushu.

After the break, Song Qingjun left hundreds of corpses, and when he touched the city wall of Leizhou, he turned around and disappeared over the shrubs and hills.

The Tuoba army could not get close, and there was cold rain on the city wall, and the Song Qing army retreated safely.

The army came and went quickly, and Tuoba looked a little unhappy in the camp, but he didn't dare to attack when he looked at the smug look on the teacher's face, so he could only humbly ask for advice: "Teacher, this battle obviously didn't get any benefits, and you forced Song Qing back, why are you still so happy?" ”

"Song Qing is doing things safely, and he will definitely retreat to Maocheng, Maocheng is fifty miles away, but it will take more than half an hour for the fifty-mile army to come quickly. Two hours later, the city was attacked, and if Song Qing dared to come, his army would be annihilated. Doma's eyes were full of affirmation.

The army tossed back and forth, and traveled back and forth twice in a night for fifty miles, and the soldiers were already tired, how could they fight?

In the southeast, Ye Linyuan led 80,000 troops to stop in Xicheng for a short rest, this place is more than 130 miles away from Leizhou City, the army must have a good rest today after marching, and it must have the strength to fight when it arrives in Leizhou City.

Xicheng is very hot, located on the Gobi, there is a river outside the city, it is the upper reaches of the Tianhe River, the river water comes from the glacial meltwater of Kunlun Mountain, and it is renamed Cangshui through Leizhou through Yunzhou to Cangzhou, because the tributaries of the Xuanhu Mountain Range also flow into Cangshui. All the way winds through the long and crosses into the sea. It flows through more than 30 counties and feeds a small half of the people in Kyushu.

At this time, seeing that twilight is approaching, everyone will gather on the city wall to discuss matters, and they will arrive in Leizhou City tomorrow, and they need to be deployed in advance.

The walls of the western city were made of rammed earth, and the generals sat around a rough wooden table, with several large watermelons on the table.

"What is this?" Although Lin Qichang is so big, although he has been to Yunzhou, this is the first time he has seen this thing!

This time, even the knowledgeable Xiahou didn't speak, shaking the paper fan and searching in his mind.

"What is this?" Lin Qi saw that Xiahou didn't know, so he asked the Xicheng guard next to him, Liu Qiang, the Xicheng guard, was a cold family guest at the beginning, and at this time he was also an official and a half-job in the troubled times. This person is extremely capable, and he can endure his temperament, and he has worked hard in Xicheng for more than ten years!

"The name of this thing is watermelon, it comes from the extreme west outside Kyushu, and it was originally a tribute to the royal family, but when the apostle came, Kyushu was already in chaos, so only Leizhou and Yunzhou have this thing. And it's very easy to cultivate. Liu Qiang introduced the origin of this object. Make up lessons for all the sons and daughters in the south.

"How do you eat this watermelon?"

"Cut it open and eat the pulp, the pit and skin are not edible!"

It was Lin Qi who kept asking, and Ye Linyuan and Xiahou Mu didn't say a word with their identities.

"Warehouse!" A pleasant sword roar sounded, and Lin Qi pulled out the long sword on the dog's waist and was about to cut the melon!

"Wait!" Ye Linyuan, Xiahou and Gou Yu spoke at the same time!

"Claws?" Lin Qi looked at the three of them puzzled!

"Wash and cut!" Ye Linyuan was born in a big family, and he has been particular about it since he was a child, even if he has been on the battlefield with Lin Qi for more than ten years, he still has to pay attention to what he should pay attention to.

"Change the kitchen knife and cut it!" Xiahou Mu has a habit of cleanliness, the sword is used to kill the enemy, it is a murder weapon, and it is very inappropriate to use it to cut melons at this time.

"Why do you still use my sword when you have a knife yourself?" Only the dog is left not for the dryness is not clean!

"It's easy!" After Lin Qi finished speaking, regardless of the sword, a round watermelon was split into two halves, only the red flesh inside was dripping with juice, and it looked very sweet!

Lin Qi picked up half of the dagger from the military boots, cut off a piece of pulp and put it in his mouth, and took a bite of the juice overflowing, sweet and delicious, surprised and delighted, picked up the other half and stuffed it into the dog's arms, and then said to Ye Linyuan and Xiahou: "Cut it yourself!" ”

Liu Qiang beside him felt strange when he looked at everyone's actions, and Lin Qi's attitude towards the two generals made him a little puzzled.

Lei Zhou planted a lot of watermelons, Lin Qi squatted on the city wall with half a melon in his arms and watched the army inside and outside the city dividing the melons, his heart was so delicious, there was such a delicious taste in the world.

Looking up again, the sunset is sinking in the west, and the sky is red, just like the night of the fire in Wancheng, it is very spectacular, and the horizon reflects the sunset A group of people and horses are approaching!

From the West, could it be Xijon?

Soon, the generals who ate melons also noticed this group of people!

"Is there a city to the west?" Lin Qi was puzzled!

"To the west is the branch of the Xuanhu Mountain Range, and the high mountains are full of glaciers!" Liu Qiang is familiar with the surrounding environment and opens his mouth to explain!

"This group of men and horses should not be the Xirong army, nor Song Qing's soldiers, let alone our soldiers and horses. Looking at the route, it should be all the way from the foot of the mountain! Liu Qiang continued to analyze.

"Oh! Why did General Liu conclude that they had come by a detour? Xiahou finally spoke.

"It is impossible for the army to bypass the various cities all the way, unless it is a small group of people and horses taking the mountain road, and the number of the other party is no more than a hundred, and it comes by detour regularly!"

Xia Hou raised his eyebrows slightly, this Liu Qiang is a talent, and staying in Xicheng is a bit condescending. When the group of people approached, Xia Hou's face was suddenly full of anger when he saw the comer! frowned, holding the paper fan tightly in his hand!

Because everyone knows who came, the first person was Tianjizi who left him that day, dressed in white clothes and white robes, and his childish face was very eye-catching. The three riders around him are the three brothers of the Long family in the past.

How did Xiahou not get angry when he saw these four people?

The 80,000 army ate watermelons and watched the four of them slowly go up the city wall, and Tianjizi greeted Xiahou and Ye Linyuan with a hippie smile!

Behind him, the dragon grandson of the Long family looked like a little brother, looked at the watermelon in everyone's hands without saying a word, and looked greedy.

"General Xiahou hasn't seen him for a long time, his demeanor is still the same, and the old man has long expected that General Xiahou is not a thing in the pool!" You must be thick-skinned, and you can't do anything if you don't have thick skin.

"Where did the gentleman come from?" Xiahou didn't bother to talk nonsense with this kind of person, so he spoke directly!

"It doesn't matter where you come from, what matters is that the general is willing to join forces with the old students to fight against Xijon?"

"Where the hell are you from!" A rag-wrapped sword in Long Wuchen's hand pointed at Tianjizi. The army has been marching for more than two months before it came here, the people of the Long family are all in Chang and Yue, and now the four of them are here, even if they are fast, it is impossible to walk in front of them, these people can fall from the sky, and it is not impossible for an army of hundreds of thousands to fall from the sky.

"Huh! Brother Long, don't be angry, you sit down and eat melons while listening to the old man say slowly, okay? Tianjizi continued to put on an old face, trying to ease the atmosphere.

However, none of the people on the city wall spoke, and the scene was a little unpeaceful.

"Since you insist on standing and listening, then the old man will stand and speak!" Tianjizi is a lot old, and he is tired of riding thousands of miles, so he can't sit down and talk at this time.

"The old man and the three sons of the Long family are from Zhongzhou!" In a word, everyone at the station is frightened, Tianjizi and the Long family are from Zhongzhou, is it possible that the Long family has conquered Kyoto?

Seeing everyone's puzzled faces, Tianjizi strode to the front of the desk, opened his shirt and sat down steadily, picked up a piece of watermelon and took a big bite, showing enjoyment.

Everyone looked at this cheeky dead old man, and waited for him to continue, what was going on.

The old man is always unhurried, he is clear and unhurried, after eating a piece of melon, take another piece, take a bite, chew a few times and spit out the melon seeds and then take a bite. After eating three pieces like this, he took out a small handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and the wisps of his beard were ready to continue.

"Zhongzhou is still the same Zhongzhou, the old man is here for a son this time!" Tianjizi speaks to the heart, and he has to say half and leave half.

Everyone calmed down, "Didn't you come to make it clear, do you think you can leave if you can't tell you clearly?" So the people were not in a hurry.

"Emperor Wu is faint and has no way, but Sheji is still there, when the prince of the dynasty is knowledgeable and loves the world, and Emperor Wu was infected not long ago, for the country and the people of Li, the old man came thousands of miles to hope that the generals can serve the country."

"How do you want us to serve our country?" Xia Hou shook the fan again at this time.

"Let the Xirong army go south, and enter Zhongzhou, and will definitely help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne!"

"Feelings: This Tuoba is a helper called by the prince?"

"Today's queen is the former Tuoba clan, and she is the elder of Tuoba Chiyun, let him into Zhongzhou, and she will definitely be able to return to Sheji a clear mind."

As soon as Tianjizi said this, the surroundings became quiet.

"Report ——!" A long "report" sound dragged the tail from far and near, and the person who came turned over and dismounted and knelt directly under the city wall and began to report, no matter which general in the city: "Beidi's 250,000 troops are coming, and they have captured Hanzhou a month ago, and now they are sending troops to Yanzhou!" ”

"Oh~!" The person who sighed was Ye Linyuan.

"Which prince's rescuer is this?" Xia Hou shook his fan and looked at Tianjizi with a smile. Presumably Tianjizi already knew this news.

"The invasion of Beidi is the idea of the four princes and the fifth prince! Nowadays, the society is in danger! I also ask the generals to focus on the overall situation and go north to resist Di! Tianjizi said this politely, he didn't put the old man on the shelf at all, and stood up obediently and bowed to you!

"The Sima family has caused a miasma of trouble in Kyushu, and now they have called a group of outsiders. It is clearly to lure the wolf into the house and seek the skin of the tiger. The dog's witty words were broken.

"In this world, why do you want to change back to his Sima family?" As soon as Xiahou Mu said this, Tianjizi's heart was cold.
