Not long after the end of the war, several Western Xia cavalry rushed to the city and shot a letter on the top of the city, on which was written in Chinese: 'His Majesty the Emperor of the Western Xia Dynasty to the Great Song Dynasty General Dao', and some soldiers picked up the letter and rushed to the city.

At this time, the Seed Master Dao was discussing with more than a dozen generals in the big tent of the Chinese army about the specific plan for strengthening the city, although they defeated the most powerful attack of the Western Xia Army, but the experienced veteran Seed Master Dao refused to let go, and all the loopholes must be filled.

In the eyes of the cultivator, the city gate is the first major loophole, and today he was almost broken into by the Western Xia army, which made him still have palpitations.

"I'm considering building an inner city for each of the four gates!"

Seed Master Dao pointed to a drawing and said to the generals: "Even if they break through the city gate, they will enter the urn city, and they can use fire to attack and shoot arrows to annihilate the enemy army in the urn city, what do you think of this plan?" ”

Li Yanqing raised his hand, and the planter looked at him, "Li joins the army, please speak!" ”

Li Yanqing pointed to the drawings and said: "Dashuai, the amount of construction of the inner city is too large, and it is difficult for us to collect so many stones, so I think it is better to build four more inner city gates, so that each city gate has two inner and outer gates, and then open an inclined opening in the upper part of the center of the city cave, once the enemy army breaks through the outer city gate, we can throw firearms or fire oil from the city cave from the pouring port, or release poisonous smoke, so that the enemy can no longer attack the second city gate......"

Yao Zhongping, the deputy general next to him, interrupted Li Yanqing's words, "Li Senjun said this, it is better to fill the city cave with boulders, anyway, we will not go out of the city, wouldn't it be once and for all?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "General Yao's plan is not appropriate!" ”

"What's wrong? You make it clear! Yao Zhongping was unusually gentle, and his tone became very rough and dissatisfied.

Li Yanqing was patient, and still said unhurriedly: "It's very simple, block the enemy, but also block ourselves, the enemy army can dig stones outside, but we can't do anything, completely lose the initiative, building two city gates and pouring mouth is the easiest way, and it is very effective." ”

Yao Zhongping was dumbfounded by Li Yanqing, and the seed master nodded, "Repairing the inner city and repairing the two city gates are both feasible plans, I'll think about it again." ”

At this time, there were soldiers outside the tent who reported loudly: "Commander, the enemy chief has a letter!" ”

Everyone was stunned, it was actually a letter written by the Emperor of Western Xia, and the seed master Dao immediately ordered: "Submit the letter!" ”

A soldier walked in quickly and presented the letter to the planter, who opened the letter and read it, and sneered at everyone: "I can't think of it! The king of Western Xia actually decided to make peace with the Great Song Dynasty and officially asked for an end to the war with us. ”

"If he doesn't attack the city, he will stop the war, so why should he write a special letter to explain it?" A general asked, puzzled.

Li Yanqing said lightly: "They want to send someone to collect the body!" ”

Seed Master Dao nodded, "Li Senjun is right, he proposed in the letter to send a thousand soldiers to collect the corpses, hoping that we can agree." ”

Yao Zhongping frowned, "Do they also want to blow up our city with the Heaven-Shaking Thunder?" ”

"Impossible!"

Li Yanqing immediately denied Yao Zhongping's speculation, "It is impossible for them to create a sky-shaking thunder so quickly, even if they have a few in their hands, they must have taken it to study, if they have the opportunity to use the sky-shaking thunder, they would have used it a long time ago, and they would not have waited until now, and the other party is the king of Western Xia, how can they surrender their identity and be untrustworthy?" ”

"Yanqing is right, the people of the Western Xia pay more attention to credibility, since it is the king of the Western Xia who wrote the letter, there should be no fake, and they can be allowed to collect the corpse!"

"Then our inner city is still not repaired?" Yao Zhongping asked.

The seed master said in a deep voice: "Repair still needs to be repaired, but it is really not necessary to build the city, it will cost too much, so according to Yanqing's plan, build the inner city gate and pouring mouth, and this matter will be fully responsible for the old general." ”

Zong Ze hurriedly got up and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

.........

If Brother Richard and his ilk wrote a letter, Li Yanqing would still suspect that the other party had a conspiracy to attack the city, but since it was the other party's king who wrote a letter to the marshal, Li Yanqing was basically sure that the Western Xia War was over, and now it depends on how the two sides end this battle decently.

Li Yanqing returned to the station of the intelligence battalion, at this time the war had only ended for two hours, and the tired soldiers were in a deep sleep, although Li Yanqing was also tired, but as the commander of the intelligence battalion, he had to do many things with strong spirits, and Wang Gui's injury was unknown, which also made him extremely worried.

Li Yanqing walked into Wang Gui's big tent, only to see Wang Gui lying on the bed with his upper body bare, his body covered with gauze, and a military doctor was carefully giving him medicine.

"Lao Li, you're finally here, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you for the last time." As soon as he saw Li Yanqing walking into the big tent, Wang Gui shouted.

"What kind of is this, are you going to die?" Li Yanqing scolded with a smile, and almost couldn't help but slap him on the scalp.

"I can't move for a month! It's worse than dead. ”

"Why?" Li Yanqing was stunned for a moment, he actually had to lie down for a month, did he break a bone?

The military doctor next to him said coldly: "I have broken five ribs, and it is good luck to save this little life." ”

Wang Gui's face was full of bitterness, and he winked at Li Yanqing and said, "Do you see the scars on my face?" It is said that there will be scars on my face in the future, do you think I will get the nickname of King Scar in the future? It's so ugly, and which woman will marry me? ”

Li Yanqing couldn't laugh or cry, so he sat next to him and quipped: "First, the scar on your face is not a scar, it is an iron abrasion that shook the sky and thunder, I think the nickname should be called Wang Scar; Second, you and Tangyuan have already made a marriage, so you don't want to think about other women anymore. ”

Wang Gui muttered in a low voice, "Your name is Wang Ba!" ”

"Okay, it looks like she's in good health, I'm going back to sleep."

Li Yanqing got up to leave, but Wang Gui hurriedly shouted: "Don't go, accompany me for a few more words." ”

At this time, the military doctor gave him the medicine and gave a few words to a soldier next to him who was responsible for taking care of Wang Gui, and then bowed to Li Yanqing and walked away.

The soldiers hurriedly covered Wang Gui with a futon, and Wang Gui said, "You go out for a while, and I will say a few important words to the commander." ”

The soldiers went out, and Wang Gui asked impatiently: "Lao Li, when did you say the next big battle will be?" ”

Li Yanqing sat beside him and smiled faintly, "If you mean siege warfare, then let me tell you, the siege battle is over, and Western Xia has decided to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and once the contract is reached, we will withdraw our troops." ”

"Why withdraw? The city of Shizhou that we managed to occupy with great difficulty. ”

"The withdrawal of troops is certain, Shizhou's threat to Western Xia is too great, Western Xia would rather compromise more and must withdraw our troops, I estimate that the imperial court will agree, and stationing in Shizhou is not a long-term solution, as long as Western Xia cuts off our supplies, we can only hold out for half a year at most, so the marshal is also considering withdrawing the army."

"That'..... So what reward will we get? Wang Gui asked with a red face.

"I think I can go up the next level! After all, we did a good job, and the big handsome specially named you and praised you for showing your heroic nature at a critical moment. ”

Wang Gui even turned red at the root of his ears, and said: "Of course, I rushed up without thinking about anything, but when I think about it later, I was so scared that my legs trembled, and I almost peed on my crotch." ”

"It also scared me stupid at the time, you must know that the lead has been burned into the thunder, and the earth-shaking thunder is still in your arms, now that I think about it, you kid is blessed with a great life, and you deserve to have a noble word in your name."

Wang Gui sighed, "After this battle is over, I will go back to the capital to prepare for the martial arts." ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you take the martial arts exam or not, the martial arts can only be awarded to the eight-rank military attache at most, you have made great contributions this time, I estimate that you can also be promoted from the eight-rank military attaché, even if you are admitted to the martial arts, it is from the eighth grade, one thing!"

"That being said, it's always good to have a fame, and it's not difficult to take the martial arts test, so I can basically pass the test if I review the art of war."

Speaking of this, Wang Gui's face suddenly turned red, and he said a little twisted: "Originally, it was good, I was admitted to the martial arts to marry Tang Yuan......."

Li Yanqing laughed, "Then let's take the test!" When the time comes, I'll come and drink the wine, and I'll get you drunk, and let you spend the night under the bed. ”

Wang Gui couldn't help laughing, and suddenly touched the wound, a sharp pain in his chest, and a miserable scream, "My mother, kill me!" ”

After a while, the pain of the wound stopped, and Li Yanqing didn't dare to laugh at him, so he got up and left.

When he returned to his big tent, he saw Yang Liang sitting at the door of the tent and loading a bowstring for his leopard head bow, his leopard head bow was not only broken, the situation was urgent, he threw it on the ground, was burned by the fire for a while, a little deformed, Yang Liang took it to the bowsmith to repair.

"How's it going, has the archer repaired it?" Li Yanqing stepped forward and asked with concern.

Yang Liang handed the leopard head bow with the bowstring to Li Yanqing, "The archer said, at most, it can only be like this, you can't pull it away, join the army and try it yourself!" ”

Li Yanqing took the bow, only to see that there was a slight deformation above the back of the bow, and he suddenly felt a heartache, this was the most convenient bow he used.

He wore a wrench and pulled hard for a full moon, and suddenly heard a continuous clicking sound from the back of the bow, which frightened him to retract the bow, only to find that the back of the bow actually cracked a half-foot-long opening, and if he pulled it again, it would break directly, and this good leopard head bow was completely destroyed.

Li Yanqing couldn't help but let out a long sigh, this good bow that had followed him for almost three years was lost.
