Xiao Rui lay on the boat, not caring about the feeling of being wet all over, some were just the joy of escaping.

Gan Ning and Gan Xing endured the injuries on their bodies, and rowed the boat at high speed with the others, making it faster and farther away from the boat. The farther away you are, the safer you are.

When the flames on the ship of the Qijiang barracks became smaller, the ship slowed down.

It was too dark, and Gan Ning couldn't tell who Xiao Rui was, so he could only ask, "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Rui responded: "I'm fine! What about the others? Alive, huh! ”

"Hmm!" Dian Wei drank a stomach of water, fortunately he didn't struggle after falling into the water, otherwise even if Gan Ning and Gan Xing were watery, they would have to be dragged and drowned.

Xiao Rui was speechless for an instant, let him make a sound, he just made a sound, Dian Wei was too sincere.

"Your Highness, I'm fine!"

"Your Highness, I'm fine!"

……

Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, Li Yuanfang, Yang Youji and A Zhu all responded loudly. At the same time, Gan Ning also checked on his brothers, and only nine people remained on the three ships, plus Gan Ning and Gan Xing.

This time there were more than 50 people rescued by storming, and only these few remained, I don't know if they were killed in battle, or they fell into the water and scattered, but most of them were sacrificed.

Xiao Rui sighed, these people are his life-savers!

"Go back to the stockade!" Although Gan Ning is sad, this is not the time to show it, and ensuring the safety of His Highness is the top priority.

When I returned to Jinfan Village, the east was already white.

Everyone returned to the village to repair, after Gan Ning and Gan Xing bandaged their wounds, Gan Xin came back with the others, losing nearly 100 brothers, and more than 20 ships, if it weren't for them to stop the sailors of the Qijiang camp, plus the cover of the night, Xiao Rui and the others would not have been able to escape at all.

Next, Gan Ning and the others are still idle!

……

And after Xiao Rui and the others escaped, the deputy capital of the Qijiang battalion was so angry that he wanted to kill! not only lost Xiao Rui, but also burned three building boats, although it also eliminated many enemies, but it was a shame for the Qijiang battalion.

Huang Qilin's face was also gloomy, he originally thought that he would win the micro-operation, but he didn't expect Xiao Rui to collude with the water thieves in the Qijiang camp! It was a surprise to him!

"If I knew today, I should have killed him directly yesterday!" Huang Qilin gritted his teeth with hatred, this time his intestines were really green with remorse.

"Is the interrogation out?" Huang Qilin asked the deputy capital.

Deputy Dutong nodded and said: "The interrogation has come out, the water thief who attacked is the newly established Jinfan Village, and the leader is a young man named Gan Ning, who had been a water thief in the Qijiang River in the early years, and called himself the Jinfan thief. Their water village is hidden on the east bank more than ten miles to the south! According to the water thieves, if you want to reach Jinfan Village, the larger building ships cannot pass, and only the small building boats can be used, and I have already ordered someone to return to the Qijiang camp to transfer ships. ”

Huang Qilin pondered for a moment and sighed: "It is estimated that the time is too late, how can the other party not escape?" ”

"Huang Lao, is there a better way?" The man asked again.

Huang Qilin sighed again and said, "No, I lost the best opportunity!" ”

When the boat of the Qijiang camp arrived and led the captured water thieves to Jinfan Village, a fire was burning inside and outside the village at this time.

As Huang Qilin said, since Xiao Rui escaped, how could he continue to sit and wait for the Qijiang camp to come, after they simply rested, they immediately packed their bags and gave up here. Before leaving, Gan Ning burned this and didn't leave anything for Qijiang Ying.

"Hey..."Huang Qilin sighed, the remorse in his heart made him want to bite!

At this time.

Xiao Rui and others took a boat, walked east along the tributaries of the Qijiang River, went ashore when they reached the end, continued to the east, robbed a few large families in Qijiang County to get horses, and the speed was raised, and finally joined the army of Chang Shenghou two days later.

Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan heard that His Royal Highness was back, and he came out to greet him in person, and at the same time, his heart could be put down.

Immediately, the army camped on the spot and repaired, and Xiao Rui was also invited by Tian Boyuan into the Chinese army's big tent.

"Your Highness, it's great that you're back safely." Chang Shenghou said with a smile.

Xiao Rui smiled, this time he almost died for life, and it also made Xiao Rui reflect on it, even if the strategists around him are good, there are also things that are not well considered, and once they are negligent, they may be fatal dangers, so they need to do things step by step.

"Let the Hou Ye worry." Xiao Rui replied.

Tian Boyuan was more excited about another thing, His Royal Highness and Emperor Zhao all assassinated Emperor Zhao, and now that His Royal Highness is back, doesn't it mean that Emperor Zhao is dead? Although there was no news that Emperor Zhao had died, Emperor Zhao suddenly established Zhao Linfeng, the king of Yuanyuan, as the crown prince, and the crown prince supervised the country, this situation was the first time.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Emperor Zhao is dead, but the news has been blocked, otherwise with Emperor Zhao's greedy character, how can he let King Yuan supervise the country?" ”

"Great! That's great! Tian Boyuan waved his clenched fists, full of excitement.

"Your Royal Highness's trip to Emperor Zhao is really powerful, not only killed Emperor Zhao, but also the three sons of Emperor Zhao have also had accidents, one day this matter will be announced to the world, and His Royal Highness's prestige will definitely be unmatched." Tian Boyuan exclaimed.

Xiao Rui smiled: "Master Hou is serious. ”

Tian Boyuan saw that Xiao Rui looked a little tired, so he said: "Your Highness is running all the way, please move and rest, set up a dinner party later, and humbly serve His Highness to pick up the wind and wash the dust." ”

Xiao Rui also felt tired, so he moved to the tent and ordered someone to boil some hot water for a bath, without Lu Pheasant's gentle little hand massage, Xiao Rui could only settle.

The death of Emperor Zhao directly rewarded Xiao Rui for his arrival, and the last time he came to Gan Ning, he directly saved his life, which made Xiao Rui realize that if there is a chance to come, he will come immediately, don't wait!

"Turn on Advent!"

Xiao Rui immediately began to descend, but he was greeted by a familiar system descending, please wait.

Who will come this time?

Strategist or general?

Xiao Rui doesn't have too many now!

After taking a bath and resting for a while, Xiao Rui's fatigue dissipated, and then went to find Chang Shenghou.

Chang Shenghou was discussing military affairs with his generals, and when he saw Xiao Rui coming in, he hurriedly got up and saluted, Xiao Rui smiled and said: "You are discussing the major affairs of the military aircraft, so this palace should avoid it for the time being." ”

"Your Highness, you are the supervisor of the army, and you have the obligation to supervise military activities, not to mention that what we are discussing is not a major military aircraft, Your Highness, please take a seat." Tian Boyuan said.

"Then the palace will be disturbed." Xiao Rui sat next to Tian Boyuan.

Tian Boyuan introduced: "Your Highness, now the army is taking Qijiang County, the main force of the Zhao army has long been withdrawn, and only a stubborn force is left to resist, the number is not large, only more than 20,000 people, but it is a difficult bone to gnaw, not only brave and good at fighting, but also good use of the terrain, with the help of mountains and rivers to fight, seriously affecting our marching speed." ”

"What about the design of the encirclement?" Xiao Rui asked.

Tian Boyuan shook his head and said: "I did this, and I also lured the other party into the trap, but the other party is brave and good at fighting, especially the leading generals have the courage of ten thousand people, and my generals are not opponents at all, and in the end he broke through, not only did not leave him, but lost his troops." ”

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the generals in the tent, and looked ashamed one by one, they and the other general's heads-up, and they were all defeated. It is said that there is no second martial arts, and he directly saw the real move.

This immediately aroused Xiao Rui's interest, and he could be evaluated by Chang Shenghou as the courage of Wanfu, which must be a six-grade master, which had hit Qijiang County, and finally met a fierce general of Zhao State.

"Master Hou, what is the origin of this person?" Xiao Rui asked.

Tian Boyuan said: "This person's name is An Jingsi, not a Han Chinese, but a Sogdian ethnic minority in the territory of Zhao State, this person is around thirty years old and proficient in riding and archery. During the inquiry, I also learned that this person was a foreigner, although he was brave, but he was not reused, but he was only a seven-rank military general, since the main army of Zhao retreated, this person was unwilling to leave, so he was appointed by the imperial court as a guerrilla general from Wupin, and only left him 3,000 soldiers and horses. This guy is fierce enough, and he gathered more than 20,000 people with a shout, which became the only stumbling block for our army to go west. ”

Now the farther west he goes, Tian Boyuan's army is getting smaller and fewer, not because he is killed, but because he needs to split the army and stay in the occupied county to deter and avoid the people of Zhao from revolting and plotting things, so after entering Qijiang County, Tian Boyuan still has 150,000 troops in his hands.

An Jingsi's 20,000 soldiers and horses are all cavalry, but they are all lightly armored cavalry, so the mobility is very strong, Tian Boyuan's army is evenly typed, although there are Xiao Rui's five thousand iron dragoons, but the speed is still dwarfed, not to mention that the other party is also proficient in terrain.

Xiao Rui asked: "This person is brave, how is he compared to Dian Wei?" ”

Tian Boyuan praised: "Dian Weima has worked hard, chasing tigers across the stream, fighting alone, An Jingsi is not necessarily an opponent." But if right away... Maybe he's a little stronger. In my mind, the one who can defeat him in the battle right away is the champion. ”

When Xiao Rui heard this, he became more and more curious about the origin of this An Jingsi, such a bullish character was abandoned, Zhao Guo is really a tyrannical thing!

"Master Hou, there is a reluctant invitation from this palace!" Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Tian Boyuan immediately guessed Xiao Rui's intentions and asked, "Your Highness wants to meet An Jingsi in person?"

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "If this person can be used by Great Xia, then he must be a tiger general!" ”

"His Royal Highness loves talents and talents, and he will give his full support!" Tian Boyuan immediately agreed.

Xiao Rui nodded, and then ordered someone to invite Guo Jia, Zhang Liang, Li Yuanfang, Dian Wei and Yang Youji, and introduced the origin of An Jingsi to the five people.

Just as the group was discussing how to act, the scout suddenly asked for a meeting.

Tian Boyuan let the scout enter the account, and the scout was straightforward: "Back to His Royal Highness, Hou Ye, An Jingsi led the troops to attack, it has been forty miles away, this time the other party is very arrogant, holding high two banners, one side writes: Xia Guoxiao is a gutless rat." The other side writes: Cowardly and incompetent, who dares to come out to fight! ”

"How can it be!" The generals in the tent were furious, although they were defeated by An Jingsi's men, but they were so humiliated at this time, they were also angry.

Tian Boyuan looked at Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui immediately said to Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, let the iron dragon ride prepare!" ”

Then he said to Chang Shenghou: "Master Hou, lend me another 4,000 light cavalry, and this palace will personally know the origin of this An Jingsi!" ”

"Yes!" The two responded in unison, and then went down to make arrangements.
