The sound of horses' hooves was urgent, breaking through the tranquility of the moment in the south of Lulong City, and more than ten black shadows came from the thick curtain. Clearly feeling it, the body of the guards at the head of the city tensed, and the archers had already subconsciously raised their bows and arrows.

Yuan Hui and the three of them also looked at the empty field to the south, but Yuan Langjun was very relaxed.

"Don't let go of the arrows! I am the Marquis of Guangping, and I have been ordered to investigate and return! It is estimated that he saw the situation in the city, and from a distance, Zhang Zhi shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Yuan Hui showed an expression that was really like this. got closer, and through the faint light of the fire on the city, I saw Zhang Zhi's face clearly, and on that young face, as always, the atmosphere of "mentally retarded" was active.

"Let him in!" Tilting his head, Yuan Hui commanded softly.

The city gate quickly opened and closed, and with a few "bangs, bangs", Zhang Zhi ran up the stairs to the city, gasped for breath, and saluted Yuanhui.

"Did you find anything in the valley?" Facing Zhang Zhi, Yuan Langjun asked directly.

"Miserable! It's miserable! Hearing the question, Zhang Zhi shook his head and replied, his tone full of sighs: "As the general expected, Zhang Xuanyu's whole family was ruined." I led people to go deep into the Huangzhang Valley for ten miles, and all the way I saw the corpses of the Great Zhou soldiers, and the valley roads were narrow, and some places were actually blocked for it. Those Great Zhou cavalry soldiers were obviously ambushed and slaughtered without the ability to resist...... It's miserable! ”

said "miserable" again, Zhang Zhi seemed to be stimulated. When he was a killer in the Iron Hand Regiment, he was also considered murderous, but compared to the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield, it was nothing, and the mentally retarded was now an eye-opener.

In the battle outside the Huangzhang Valley, although the losses were greater, at least they resisted, and the soldiers and swords fought with the enemy, causing some casualties to the Khitans.

The cavalry led by Zhang Xuanyu and Cao Renshi was different, and it is conceivable that 5,000 sergeants were led into the Jedi and needlessly led to be killed....... The word massacre has always been heavy, especially the murder of one's own soldiers, which brought a huge psychological touch.

Exhaled heavily, Yuan Langjun's expression immediately turned cold, although the dead soldiers basically had nothing to do with him, but it was inevitable that there was a sense of kinship in his heart. In the army, the blood is not cold, and the death of the robe makes Yuan Langjun angry.

Before there was any big reaction, Yang Xuanji next to him was already angry: "Zhang Xuanyu is also a general, Your Majesty commissioned the army with him, why did he lead the army to death." The valley is narrow, why ride it! ”

Seeing Brother Yang venting his anger, Yuan Langjun swallowed the angry words in his throat. Thinking about the terrain around Huangzhang Valley and the time spent traveling at night, he said coldly: "Crossing Huangzhang Valley can save a lot of time. Or, lured by the enemy. In short, this fiasco, the loss of troops and generals, Zhang and Cao, it is difficult to escape the blame! ”

There was silence above the tower, as if mourning for the innocent soldiers, and for a while, only pillars of fire and military flags were hunting in the autumn wind.

"This battle was a strange defeat!" After a while, Yang Xuanji said with a serious expression.

"It's really weird!" Yuan Hui echoed.

After looking around Yuan Hui and Yang Xuanji twice, Qiu Jing spoke: "What's wrong?" ”

Turning his head and glancing at Qiu Jing, Yuan Langjun said in an indifferent tone, and said something that made Qiu Jing quite frightened: "From beginning to end, the Khitans seem to know the situation of our army well......"

"What do you mean?" The pupils shrank slightly, and the expression on Qiu Jing's face quickly converged completely.

"It's not interesting!" Holding the masonry on the female wall, under the urging of internal force, five clear fingerprints were left, and Yuan Hui said quietly: "I don't believe it, just by relying on the scout sentry of the Khitan thief army, you can find out the reality of our army!" ”

His eyes stayed on Yuan Hui for a while, and Qiu Jing opened his mouth, wanting to say something. Yuan Langjun's attention was diverted, and he turned to the north, and through the thick night, he seemed to be able to see the Khitan rebels hidden in the mountains and valleys.

"I don't know what Li Qianzhong's next move will be?" Yuan Hui's face showed a serious color.

And the snake spirit, in this increasingly violent turmoil, what is the purpose and plan? Just set off a rebellion against the Khitan? Motoro-kun didn't believe it. Subconsciously looked at Qiu Jing, and his eyes just collided with him......

Yang Xuanji didn't have too many unusual thoughts, but sighed with a slightly heavy heart: "Counterinsurgency, it's difficult......"

——————

The footsteps were hurried, and he returned to the state government with a strange mood, above the second hall, looking at the black shadow that was already waiting, Qiu Jing opened his mouth and asked, "Why did Yuan Hui and Yang Xuanji suddenly come here!" ”

"Something happened...... there was a little surprise in the woman's voice, and after a slight pause, Fang said: "Don't be nervous, although we can't wipe it out, our goal has been achieved." After this heavy blow, it is impossible for the imperial court to exterminate Li Quanzhong in one fell swoop, and the situation in western Liaoning will definitely be eroded! ”

"Besides, Yuan and Yang let the Khitan suffer such a small setback, which is not a bad thing for us. Since the beginning of the army, Li Qianzhong has been a little arrogant, and this incident just reminded him of the awakening. Where I rely on my snake spirit, there are still ......"

Hearing his words, Qiu Jing stood still, stayed for a while, and then asked tentatively, "Eldest sister has arrived in Pingzhou?" ”

The blood spirit's body paused obviously, and there was surprise in his cold voice: "It's worthy of Lord Qiu, no wonder the eldest sister values you so much!" ”

Some words, some judgments about the situation, are obviously not something that these killers raised by the snake spirit can say.

After moving a few steps in the second hall, sitting down, slowly brushing his beard, and thinking for a while, Qiu Jing reminded: "Immediately stop the activities in the Liucheng army, as soon as Yuan Hui enters the city, he will take over." That person, I have come into contact with, was Di Renjie's right-hand man in Youzhou back then, and it was by no means easy to match. At the moment, there can be no more accidents, otherwise the business in Pingzhou will also be ruined......"

Seeing that Qiu Jing was a little nervous, the blood spirit revealed a few silver bell-like laughter: "Don't worry, before you are exposed, the snake spirit will guarantee your safety." As for that Yuan Hui, to this day, how can the eldest sister underestimate him. ”

Seeing his reaction, Qiu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and arched his hand: "I'm tired of reporting to the eldest sister, as far as I can see from tonight's temptation, that Yuan Hui is already suspecting that there are spies in the Great Zhou army and Khitan secret collusion." I have a hunch that this Yuan Hui is likely to become a variable in the Yingzhou Rebellion. No matter what other plans the eldest sister has, please be cautious! ”

Silent and silent, the blood spirit almost melted into the darkness, as if thinking about Qiu Jing's words. After a while, Fang said lightly: "If Lord Qiu speaks, I will bring it." ”

"Eldest sister has an order, you are as always, and you are still loyal to the history of Pingzhou in Da Zhou......"

"Hmm!" Qiu Jing responded casually, only to feel a slight flicker, and the darkness was only as dark as ink. The people of the snake spirit still come and go like ghosts.

Rubbing his eyes and sighing silently, Qiu Jing took off the hood on his head and stroked the tip of his forehead, where a few new gray hairs were added.
