Song Henghuan was at the end of his rope at this time, he was pressed there by the soldiers, he couldn't lift his head, and there were many burns and knife wounds all over his body, according to Du Yong's report, Song Henghuan even killed a soldier in the city with his own hands, and also cut several people under Xu Xian.

"Master Songzhai, you are also a character, and the official is fortunate to see him today, and he is also lucky!" Xu Xian spoke politely.

"Humph!" Song Henghuan looked very arrogant, and said, "The winner is the king, the loser is the villain, the old man fails, he will never fight for anything, no matter what means you use to win, that is your ability, and you don't need to show off your power in front of the old man, if you have the ability, you will kill the old man, and there will be no ambiguity!" ”

Xu Xian said: "This official now gives you two choices, one is to surrender to the imperial court, and this official can promise not to kill you, and even recruit you." There is another one, which is to let you subdue the law! ”

"Don't choose, the old man will definitely not be ambiguous, why is the husband afraid of death! Do it! Song Henghuan said in a tone that he refused to discuss with Xu Xian.

He Yu and the others looked at Xu Xian, and seemed to be a little surprised by Xu Xian's approach, they didn't expect Xu Xian to give Song Henghuan a chance.

Xu Xian smiled and said: "The main army of Songzhai is defeated, that is also a fate, this official is not in a hurry to let you decide, give you a day, and when you are interrogated after returning to the city tomorrow afternoon, give you a chance, you had better also consider the lives of men, women and children in the entire cottage, if you don't want to harm them, you should also know how to do it!" ”

After speaking, as soon as Xu Xian waved his hand, Du Yong led someone to escort Song Henghuan out.

Shen Hao came over and said: "Xu Zhixian, if you want to keep this Song Henghuan's life, although you can buy people's hearts, but there is still something wrong, there are a lot of bandits in the entire Yanshan County, since the cottages are not killed, it is also forcing those cottages to resist the adults to the end!" ”

"Let's talk about it after returning to the city, this official is not in a hurry to make a conclusion, first clean up the endgame of the battlefield!" Xu Xian ordered.

More people came out of the camp, because it was still night, the mountains were still very chaotic, and Xu Xian didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he wanted to be foolproof, so he would not stay on Qingyang Mountain for another night, and he would definitely return to Yanshan County before dawn.

……

……

In the county seat of Yanshan County, until dawn, the soldiers were still lazily guarding the city.

After all, Qingyang Mountain is nearly fifty miles away from the county seat of Yanshan County, and the battle happened last night, so the news has still not reached the county seat of Yanshan County.

"Open the gates! The magistrate has a military order to send back! Suddenly, a fast horse arrived below, and Lao Yuan shouted.

There are a few soldiers at the head of the city, these soldiers are the original villagers in the city, Xu Xian almost transferred the people and horses of Dujiazhai who can be mobilized to the outside of the city, and the rest of the people are mainly stationed in the yamen and homes of the county, and Xu Xian has not arranged many people at the head of the city.

"It's early in the morning, don't let people live in peace, what did the magistrate say?" The soldiers at the head of the city shouted down.

"If you know the words of the magistrate, prepare to open the city gate to welcome the adults back to the city! Make no mistake! The herald shouted.

The soldiers at the head of the city laughed and said, "Be stupid? The teacher came back so soon? Didn't you say that you want to fight Qingyangzhai? I didn't believe that this was what the adults said, and the gates of the city would not be opened. Stay where you love, stay where you go! ”

After the soldier finished speaking, he simply left the direction of the city, and when he brought back the people, several archers had already come with him, and even took their bows and arrows and threatened downward.

"If you don't leave, I'll make you a hornet's nest!"

The heralds under the city had no choice but to retreat in a hurry.

At this time, someone spread the situation on the city to the main families in the city.

After Bai Qiyuan heard the news, he immediately took Li Wan and others to Zhu Xing's mansion and saw Zhu Xing in the Zhu family's main mansion.

Zhu Xing had just gotten up, and he had just heard the news from the city gate, Zhu Xing said: "I didn't hear about any fighting outside the city last night, and now I say that I want to come back, could it be that the surname Xu knows that there is no hope of victory in this battle, so he simply relented?" ”

"This is what makes people feel strange, he softened so quickly, it doesn't seem like his style, and I don't know what's going on, but there was no news from Qingyang Mountain last night, which makes people feel strange, and I didn't say whether there was a battle last night!" Li Wan said.

Bai Qiyuan said: "The bandits outside the city don't have the courage to come to the county seat of Yanshan County to call for battle, and they will not benefit them at all if they break through the county seat." Most of them are surnamed Xu who really want to lead the troops back, let's go to the city and wait to see what the results are? ”

"What is there to go, the one surnamed Xu is destined to be defeated!" Li Wan said, "You usually don't like him the most, why do you seem to have any interest in him this time?" ”

"If you don't go to see it, you always feel that something is wrong! Brother Zhonglian, we all like to listen to you, do you say you want to go? Bai Qiyuan looked at Zhu Xing and asked.

Zhu Xing frowned and said: "Since you want to go, let's go together, no matter what happens to the surname Xu in the end, we will always take care of it, if he comes back so smoothly, it will not be a good thing......"

"Then let him into the city?" Li Wan asked.

"When the time comes, it's really not good, drive people away, even if we don't have a county governor in Yanshan County, we can still make the local governance stable, come to a county magistrate who suppresses bandits, what do you want to make trouble in the local area?" Zhu Xing looked very annoyed and said, "Or just find an opportunity to kill this magistrate!" ”

……

……

The people of all the families in the city could not help but go to the top of the city.

And when they arrived, the hour had already passed.

But seeing the direction of the south of the city, cavalry began to come this way, Zhu Xing pointed to the distance and said, "The old man is a little dazzled, look at it, what is the situation?" ”

"Like...... Is it a subordinate surnamed Xu? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, I can't see it clearly! Bai Qiyuan stared at it for a long time before he said.

After a short time, there were more cavalry in the distance, and soon more than a dozen horsemen came to this side, and when these cavalry were about to reach the city gate, the city was putting arrows down, and the arrows were also released by Zhu Xing.

"Xu Zhixian wants to return to the city and open the city gate!" The soldiers under the city shouted as they dodged the arrows.

Zhu Xing didn't let the archers at the head of the city deliberately shoot people, but there was a threat to intimidate, Bai Qiyuan shouted: "Tell the surnamed Xu, if he can't level Qingyang Village, don't come back, we wait for the good news of his triumph!" ”

The herald soldiers under the city shouted: "Xu Zhixian has leveled Qingyang Village, and he is about to return to the city!" ”

"Fart!" Bai Qiyuan scolded, "How dare this turtle grandson deceive Lao Tzu? What is it, he actually said that he could level Qingyang Village, thinking that he has the ability to have three heads and six arms? Go back and tell the surnamed Xu that Qingyang Village can't be leveled, Yanshan County would rather not have him as a county magistrate, we want a magistrate who suppresses bandits! ”
