In those fences in the city, how could there have been so many real scholars in the past? Now it is full of readers, more than 200 readers, banquets and drinks, surrounded by local girls, people from big places are different, and they are very generous.

It is mainly because the consumption level here in Yongzhou is really low, and for two or three hundred dollars, you can find a very good girl to accompany you and play the piano.

Many of these scholars were not familiar with each other, but now they are very united, perhaps because of the common suffering, and some people proposed that everyone write a collection of poems together, and the name of the collection is good, called "The Fierce War of the Southern Kingdom", the meaning can be seen from this name, and the authors of these poems in the collection have all sacrificed their lives for the country.

In terms of the content of the poems, I have changed all kinds of triumphant rhetoric, but I have become all kinds of hardships and tiredness, but I am not afraid, and it is not a problem to sacrifice my life for the country.

It's a lot of positive energy.

Gan Qi, on the other hand, walked around outside Yongzhou City, and even walked in the mountains and forests with the army from time to time.

Huotong is barbaric, it can't be found, even if you see a few from afar, you go over the mountains and mountains to chase, and you can't see it if you chase it.

Then the army returned disappointed, day after day.

Xiao Zhu, the governor of Yongzhou, was already so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night, as long as the team that went out to search for the Huotong people came back, Xiao Zhu would be the first to rush to the barracks, hoping to have good news. Even if he also knew that the imperial army would not stay here for a long time, he would not be able to solve the problem of the Huotong people this time, and there would be endless troubles in the future.

Di Qing was also worried in the big tent, and he was angry: "These barbarians are really rats. ”

Xiao Zhu asked eagerly: "General Di, how should this be?" How should this be? ”

Pang Dang has been depressed in the past few days, going up the mountain every day to find the Huotong people, going over the mountains and mountains, not even finding a personal hair, the anger is big, and he stepped forward and said: "General Di, the last general is invited to fight on an expedition, since the Huodong people don't come out, it's a big deal that we will lead the troops to go straight to their lair, isn't it a four-hundred-mile mountain road?" The last general is willing to be the vanguard. ”

Di Qing shook his head and replied: "The mountains are high, the roads are far away, the forests are dense, the terrain is not familiar, the enemy occupies the right time, place and people, and can deal with it calmly, and the expedition will be ambushed, which is really not advisable." ”

How could Di Qing's words be unreasonable? This is no more than the northern frontier, and the woods in the north are different from those in the south. Although the forests in the north are not lacking in denseness, they cannot be compared with the south. The trees of the southern rainforest are tall and large, with many branches and leaves, from high to low, layer by layer, and they do not even allow people to walk around. Compared with the tropical rainforests in the south, the mountains and forests in the north are much more sparse, and even in winter, you can still see the bare scene.

Xiao Zhu hurriedly said: "General Di, you must find a way, you must think of a way." ”

Xiao Zhu is really tired of dealing with the Huotong people here, he can't fight it, and he can't destroy it, and in the city, he almost sits and watches the Huodong people wreak havoc everywhere.

Di Qing shook his head and said, "Tomorrow, we will continue to search the mountains and increase the area of search." ”

Xiao Zhu lowered his head and sighed, as if this was the only way.

Xiao Zhu hung his head and went back to the city.

Pang Dang still had words: "General Di, are we going to come here for nothing?" ”

Di Qing smiled slightly, looked at Gan Qi who was sitting on the side, and said: "General Pang doesn't have to worry, Dao Jian already has a clever plan, you just have to follow the order to do it, continue to search the mountain tomorrow, and you don't have to say anything to others." ”

Pang Dang was the highest-ranking general under Di Qing at this time, and he was almost Di Qing's deputy general.

Pang Dang looked at the appearance of the old god Ganqi on the side, and immediately became less anxious, just smiled: "The last general can be saved, the last general can be saved." It must be appropriate and appropriate for Mr. Gan to give advice. ”

I don't know if Pang Dare really thinks so, or if he is flattering, maybe he has both, who is called Gan Qi is so famous now, and there is a good chance that he will have a big official position in the future.

Gan Qi also smiled at Pang Dang, and Pang Dang gave up his hand.

Gan Qicai opened his mouth and smiled: "I'm sorry for Xiao Zhizhou, I have to hide it from him at this time, and let him get angry in a hurry, so that everyone can see that he is in a hurry." ”

Di Qing also smiled bitterly: "Don't live with him, don't live with him, he's a competent Zhizhou." ”

Xiao Zhu was naturally in a hurry, and went all the way back to the yamen, irritable and unkind, with a bad attitude towards everyone.

After a few more days, no matter how much you search the mountains, you can't find the people of Huodong.

Di Qing only took Gan Qi to the Yamen, and when he saw Xiao Note, Di Qing spoke: "Xiao Zhizhou, this is a resignation, this Huotong people are hidden in the mountains and forests, the army is here to waste money and food, and the soldiers and soldiers are also homesick, it is really impossible, only the first class has returned to the dynasty." ”

Xiao Zhu was in a hurry when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Di Qing's arm, and said, "General Di, how can you act like this?" The army has only been here for more than ten days, how can it just retreat and return? The court asked you to come to suppress the fire thieves, you haven't fought a battle, you haven't fired a single arrow, how can you retreat and leave? ”

"Xiao Zhizhou, you also know that the imperial court is now short of military spending, the army is here, and the baggage replenishment is already stretched. Now that this Huodong man is hiding in the mountains and forests, what can he do to call the old man? Di Qing replied.

Gan Qi also stepped forward and said: "Xiao Zhizhou rest assured, General Di has already written a letter to ask for an order, and sent someone to Tokyo quickly, and when the army is gone, Pennsylvania will send some men and horses to help garrison, but Yongzhou can be safe." ”

Xiao Zhu even pulled Di Qing's clothes tightly: "What's the use of Pennsylvania people?" How many people can there be in Pennsylvania? If the fire is not removed, there are forty-four confined states under the rule of Yongzhou, where is there a peaceful day? At this time, the thief is still small, if he is allowed to run rampant, this Nong Zongdan will inevitably be another Nong Zhigao. The army can't go, it can't go, and it can't go until the Huodong people are extinguished. ”

Di Qing suddenly waved his sleeves, threw Xiao Zhu's hand aside, and his footsteps were already outward: "Xiao Zhizhou, don't you mess around like this, can you support 8,000 soldiers in your yamen?" Open all your treasury and see how many days you can eat? ”

Di Qing said as he walked outside the yamen.

Gan Qi couldn't help laughing, and kept signaling Di Qing to hurry up.

When he walked outside the yamen, Di Qing stopped, or was chased by Zhizhou Xiao Zhu.

Xiao Zhu had already scolded: "Di Qing, everyone says that you are a good general in a hundred battles, but now you are in vain for the safety of the people of Yongzhou, and you want to withdraw from the army, you have returned to Tokyo, how can you explain to the official family?" ”

Di Qing was even more furious: "What can I do? Why don't you collect grain in the city, and every household will open the rice jar for me to fetch it? ”

Gan Qi also fanned the flames on the side: "Xiao Zhizhou, you are too strong, even if the army stays here for three or five years, what is the use?" Huotong can't come out, what can I do? ”

At this time, it was already outside the yamen, and passers-by gathered like this.

Di Qing became even more angry and said: "Xiao Note, as the governor of Yongzhou, you have a thief under your rule, it should be your fault, but now I am on an expedition to help you." The thieves are hiding, and you blame me. Why? ”

Xiao Zhu was so angry that he pointed at Di Qing and scolded: "Di Qing, you ...... You...... You are a courtier in vain, you dare to withdraw from the army, I will definitely go to the court and impeach you, you don't care about the safety of the people, just care about your own comfort, you don't want to face difficulties, but avoid disasters and leave, you ...... You don't have to die well! ”

Di Qing glanced at Gan Qi, and when he saw Gan Qi nodded, he scolded: "The erection is excessive, he is in a high position in Zhizhou, and a few thieves can't be destroyed, but he spoke wildly in front of the old man, just impeach." ”

After Di Qing finished speaking, he turned his head and left.

"Puffer, puffer, disloyalty, unkindness, dereliction of duty, puffer! Don't die well, don't die well! Xiao Zhu jumped to his feet and scolded.

The crowd had already gathered in large numbers, Di Qing left angrily, Gan Qi opened the way for Di Qing in front, and pulled the crowd left and right with his head down.

Xiao Zhu is still scolding, and even the people on the street are scolding with Xiao Zhu.

Di Qing took Gan Qi out of the city quickly, and when it was time to fight, Di Qing asked Gan Qi with a big smile on his face: "Dao Jian, how is it?" How is the old man's acting skills? ”

Gan Qi gave a thumbs up: "Uncle Di, your old acting skills are much better than those in my troupe." ”

One old and one young, looked at each other and laughed.

Di Qing then ordered to pack up the camp and prepare to retreat.

I saw countless generals rushing over, one by one, I don't know why, but I was very anxious, how can I say that the troops will be withdrawn? This battle hasn't been fought yet, and the credit hasn't been earned yet, so it's just a trip in vain?
