More than half a year has passed since the Haichuan bandits. Qingcheng followed the king of northern Xinjiang to serve in the northern dragoon army after the incident, and the king of Guhong did not make any obstacles. Similarly, Haichuan's exploits are also on the side of others, and they have nothing to do with Qingcheng, which is also a condition for King Guhong to release people.

It is worth mentioning that this battle achievement is precious, but King Guhong did not reward his confidant and favorite general, but gave it to a new soldier. It is said that this man is proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, and he is a rare general. And if it weren't for Qingcheng's excessive edge, maybe this person would also be able to make contributions without preempting the exploits of others.

At the time of employing people, Wan Lijun, in order to win the hearts of the people, King Guhong cultivated a new general with such military exploits. It is rumored that this person has a withdrawn personality, strong martial arts, and does not show mountains and rivers on weekdays, but suddenly became the upstart of the Wanli Army. The status even surpassed Lin Zheng and Yang You, the two pioneers, second only to Xu Lin, a general.

In this regard, Qingcheng is relatively satisfied, at least this battle merit was not wasted, but given to a new Ding who has never met a talent, which can be regarded as a complete merit. But at this time, Qingcheng may not know that due to this person's character, he is actually very disgusted with the matter of seizing the merits of the war, and always feels as if he owes Qingcheng, and even leads him to an imaginary enemy, vowing to win over Qingcheng in a dignified manner. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that King Guhong will pay special attention to him, but in the days to come, there will be many opportunities for him to deal with Qingcheng.

As for Mu Huang, after leaving Linhai City, he traveled around, and it seems that he only found his goal a few years ago and joined the army. She has correspondence with Qingcheng, but whenever Qingcheng asks where she is, she avoids talking about it, and claims that she definitely doesn't need anyone's help this time, and she must rely on her own skills to make a name for herself.

Qingcheng still cares about Mu Huang's friend, and he always feels that her departure has a lot to do with him. What's more, Mu Huang has helped him a lot, but he has never had a chance to repay, and now, he can only pray silently that everything is okay with her. However, after seeing Mu Huang's ability, Qingcheng was not so worried.

Qingcheng once mentioned Mu Huang in a letter with Ouyang Lan, and claimed that he was a good friend he made after going down the mountain, and Ouyang Lan was much more generous in this regard. Although she read between the lines of Qingcheng's letter that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, she was very relieved of Qingcheng and was happy that Qingcheng could make such a friend.

Since coming down the mountain, Qingcheng has not met Ouyang Lan, and he misses it very much. And both of them are busy, the war is tight on Qingcheng's side, and Ouyang Lan's family business is continuous, so there has been no chance. But when Ouyang Lan learned that Qingcheng had joined the dragoon army, he was very happy. On the one hand, the king of Northern Xinjiang is worth following, on the other hand, the grain and grass in the Dragoon Army have contacts with the Ouyang family, and since Qingcheng has gone to the north, Ouyang Lan will also have a chance to see him.

At the beginning of the fourth year of Jiande, when the year came to pass, the whole country celebrated. This is the first time Qingcheng has been away for the New Year, and he has not been with his family, but the king of Beijiang is very concerned, and after Qingcheng came here, he also wrote to Duan Feiyan to inform him, although the latter did not say anything, but privately sent a letter to the king of Beijiang, hoping that he would temper Qingcheng more and let him become a talent as soon as possible.

The king of Northern Xinjiang is very important to Qingcheng, and he is also very optimistic about him, and he is more fair. After Qingcheng came to the dragoon, the king of Northern Xinjiang personally put down a martial arts, giving Qingcheng a chance to show his skills. The martial arts of the Dragoon Army are divided into Wentao martial arts strategy and martial arts competition, which is very formal. And the king of Northern Xinjiang personally presided over the trial, which was very fair.

In order to let Qingcheng show his skills and convince the whole army, the king of Northern Xinjiang set up the ring after the martial arts exercise, and let Qingcheng challenge the six masters of the dragoon army one after another. Qingcheng has strong martial arts, deep internal strength, six battles and six victories, and became a famous dragoon in one fell swoop. After the war, the ecstatic king of Northern Xinjiang was like picking up a treasure, and he praised Qingcheng endlessly.

The king of Northern Xinjiang is fair and well-governed, and everyone in the dragoon army is like this, and he does not look at him coldly because of Qingcheng's identity, but he is a five-body surrender that everyone admires. Afterwards, the king of Northern Xinjiang Feng Qingcheng was the general of the Dragoon Army, leading 30,000 soldiers alone, and his status was even more than the left and right vanguards, second only to the king of Northern Xinjiang and the deputy marshal of the Dragoon Army. If you talk about the military system, it is already on a par with Zhenhai Hou. As for the military rank, the king of Northern Xinjiang believes that with Qingcheng's ability, it will definitely not be lower than Duan Feiyan in time.

Qingcheng did not shy away from informing the king of Northern Xinjiang about his ambitions (Xinting Hou), who was very moved after hearing it. Qingyucheng's Duan family was wronged, Qingcheng did not have the slightest resentment, and he could still join the army and serve his family and country, which is really commendable. In this regard, the king of northern Xinjiang said that he would give full support to Qingcheng, as long as he had the ability and military merits, the king of northern Xinjiang was willing to guarantee in front of Emperor Hui and pave the way for Qingcheng.

As the saying goes, there are often thousands of horses, but Bole is not often, if Qingcheng is a thousand miles, then the king of Northern Xinjiang is definitely the Bole in his life. The latter only has the people of the world in his heart, and has no selfishness, and for Qingcheng, a good general who has the ability and loyalty and righteousness, the king of Northern Xinjiang is indeed sincerely supportive.

At this point, Qingcheng will usher in the most precious and smooth time in his life. In the past few years, he and the king of Northern Xinjiang have cooperated with each other, and the two have complemented each other, and they have indeed done a lot of vigorous things. The north drove the south to extinction, the east and the west to fight, Qingcheng was like a fish in water in the dragoons, and made many close friends, which was really high-spirited and in the limelight. Until, that day comes......

On the ninth day of the third month of the fourth year of Jiande, Qingcheng left the dragoon army and rushed to Linhai City with Thunder Shadow and Swift Wind, just because the king of Northern Xinjiang told him about something yesterday, which shocked Qingcheng and was anxious.

Zhenhaihou reversed.

Soon after the year, when everyone was still immersed in the joy of the New Year, coupled with the fact that there was no war in various places, and the entire Daqi was a little tired, a sudden report broke the quiet situation and made the eastern border of Daqi urgently enter a state of combat readiness. Because, the Marquis of Zhenhai led the 30,000 soldiers of the garrison army of Linhai City and rebelled.

This news came very suddenly, but in terms of the timing of Zhenhaihou's troops, it is not difficult to see that he was prepared. During this period of time after the year, the deployment of defenses in various places is not tense, and some town troops will also adjust their defenses, if it is said that rebellion, it is the best time. However, when Qingcheng learned the news, the reason why he was shocked was not why Zhenhaihou wanted to rebel, but why Zhenhaihou could rebel?

"There are only 30,000 garrison troops under the Marquis of Zhenhai, and their combat power is not outstanding, and Mo said that the entire Great Qi, just one Wanli army in the east, also has 100,000 people, not to mention that it is still the best in the town army. So what did Zhenhaihou take to rebel? ”

When the king of Northern Xinjiang informed Qingcheng of the rebellion of Haihou, Qingcheng replied without thinking. And what Qingcheng said, the king of Northern Xinjiang also knows it, indeed, the most incredible thing in front of him is not why Zhenhai Hou wants to rebel, but what he rebelled with.

However, the Marquis of Zhenhai has some ability after all, and with the right timing he chose, within five days, he had already conquered the surrounding two cities, and he had some momentum. But when the court learned of this, it hurriedly ordered King Guhong to send troops to exterminate the rebellious ministers and thieves. I don't know if King Guhong was aware of it earlier, or if he was well prepared, and after receiving the will, he ordered his troops and horses to go out on the same day. The 50,000 soldiers of the Wanli army, plus the 100,000 bandit army composed of the garrisons in several nearby cities, inflicted heavy losses on the third day after Qingcheng left, and even forced them back into Linhai City.

This was completely within Qingcheng's expectations, because Zhenhaihou did not have the capital to rebel at all. If you want to say that today's Great Qi really has the ability to rebel, I'm afraid it is only the Quartet. Therefore, Qingcheng went on the road with doubts, and he must ask Zhenhai Hou to understand before he was defeated and captured. Because Qingcheng knew that Zhenhaihou was not a fool, there was no reason why he would never be able to do this kind of thing of hitting a stone with an egg.

As for why the king of Northern Xinjiang agreed to Qingcheng to go, it was all because of the rhetoric of the Marquis of Zhenhai to rebel. Just after he captured the first nearby city, he issued a message to the world, claiming that he would crusade against the Wudao Faint Monarch and rehabilitate Duan Feiyan. That's right, Zhenhai Hou's rebellion was actually for the Duan family's wrongful suffering? And the meaning of the king of Northern Xinjiang, no matter what the reason for Zhenhaihou, Qingcheng should always take a trip to Linhai City, which can be regarded as a send-off for this old friend.

Regarding the rebellion of Zhenhai Hou, the king of Northern Xinjiang did not criticize it, but showed a trace of sympathy between his words, which also made Qingcheng puzzled. The king of Northern Xinjiang was loyal and courageous, and he did his best and did his best to Daqi, which is almost known to the world. But he didn't resent the rebellion of Zhenhaihou, let alone anger, which was really a bit abnormal.

And about the Duan family, the king of Northern Xinjiang originally intended to let Qingcheng lead an elite army to the battle, although the north is far away from Linhai City, Zhenhai Hou may not be able to hold out until Qingcheng leads the troops to arrive, but in order to avoid suspicion, Qingcheng should also fight. However, he was rejected by Qingcheng.

"Regardless of whether Zhenhaihou is really rebelling or not, after all, he is an old general of his father, and this rebellion claims to be for his father, and as far as Zhenhaihou I know is concerned, he is upright and upright, dedicated to the country, and he does not seem to be a rebel. If I lead the troops to the battlefield, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it, and I will not be able to explain it reasonably. ”

This is Qingcheng's true words. No matter why Zhenhaihou rebelled, what people said was for the Duan family to rehabilitate, and Zhenhaihou was loyal, which Qingcheng has a number. Therefore, how can he meet the Hou of Zhenhai?

During the hurry, Qingcheng accidentally remembered that when he was leaving, Zhenhaihou entrusted him with something, and then he suddenly realized that since then, Zhenhaihou has been antipathetic.

"At that time, I only said that Hou Ye hoped that if Linhai City was in trouble in the future, I could help, but I didn't expect that Hou Ye was actually 'inviting war'. It seems that he and the King of Xinjiang should have the same thoughts, and they both hope that I can avoid suspicion and fight, but Master Hou, how can Qingcheng fight you? Hey, why are you rebelling? ”

The northern border is far away from Linhai City, and it took Qingcheng a month to get to the outside of Linhai City, and at this time, Zhenhai Hou was unsurprisingly defeated and besieged. The battle lasted only more than 20 days, and the Marquis of Zhenhai was defeated by King Guhong, and less than 5,000 of the 30,000 soldiers in Linhai City were killed, and the Marquis of Zhenhai was seriously injured and fled back to the city.

Outside Linhai City, King Guhong led an army to surround him, giving Zhenhai Marquis time to think about it and forcing him to surrender on his own initiative. And planned to launch a general attack at noon tomorrow, before receiving the letter from the Marquis of Zhenhai, to end this farce of rebellion. Yes, in the eyes of King Guhong, this is a farce, and the result is that King Guhong effortlessly got rid of the Marquis of Zhenhai and successfully became the commander of Linhai City, and at the same time won one more battle.

On this day and night, Qingcheng, Lei Ying, and Storm sneaked into Linhai City, and after learning that Zhenhai Hou was recuperating from his injuries in Liang Feng's mansion, he hurried there. And when the three of them arrived at Liang's mansion, they found that there were no guards in the mansion, only Zhenhaihou was giving Liang Feng incense.

Qingcheng let Lei Ying and Storm look at the wind outside the hall, and walked in alone, and he looked at the familiar back in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't know where to ask. After a while, Zhenhai Hou Xu sensed Qingcheng's arrival, and asked softly, "Is it Qingcheng?" ”

"Master Hou, I'm here."
