In the early morning, the sun had just climbed to the head of the city in Yanshan County, and the men and horses led by Xu Xian had already arrived at the south gate of the city.

This day was the day when Xu Xian led his troops to the battle.

Unlike Xu Xian's previous night attack on Black Wind Village, this time Xu Xian's troops can be said to be bright and bright, without any sneak attack, and it is clear how many people and horses he brings.

The forty or fifty people brought by Xu Xian in the city, plus the original defenders had forty or fifty people, a total of about 100 people, even if there were some regimental training personnel, the total was less than two hundred.

And this time, Xu Xian wanted to bring out of the city to attack Qingyang Village, a total of more than 90 people, plus the strategists brought by Xu Xian and himself, it was just over 100 people.

There were more than a dozen carriages, less than ten cavalrymen, four or five mule carts, plus a few men, and it seemed that the people and horses were neat.

“…… Xu Zhixian, I'm afraid it will take you a few days to go back, right? The people of the city are waiting for you to come safely! ”

Zhu Xing and others came to see them off again, and what Zhu Xing said sounded very warm, but in fact, it was a bit of schadenfreude.

However, Zhu Xing's speech is finally better than Bai Qiyuan's others, and Xu Xian doesn't want to listen to it, after all, Zhu Xing is an old fox.

Xu Xian said: "Cheng Zhu is the best word, this official this expedition, it should take ten days and half a month, if you can level Qingyang Village, the next step is to go to other cottages, maybe it will be much easier!" ”

"Huh!" Zhu Xing said with a smile, "This is natural, the boundary of Yanshan County, the cottage that can be compared with Qingyang Village, there are only one or two, Xu Zhi County can level Qingyang Village, which basically means that Yanshan County is flat, come and send the practice wine!" ”

Zhu Xing seemed to have a lot of heart, and actually prepared practice wine for Xu Xian.

waited for the wine to be delivered to Xu Xian, but Xu Xian had no intention of drinking.

Xu Xian said: "There is no need to practice wine, I hope that after the official leaves Yanshan County, the Zhu family can abide by the rules and cooperate with the garrison in the city to protect the stability of Yanshan County, if something happens, the official will be held responsible!" ”

Here Xu Xian was leaving, and he used some threatening words to intimidate Zhu Xing, and Zhu Xing was naturally uncomfortable when he heard it.

"Xu Zhixian can rest assured, we won't make trouble for you, you better take care of yourself, don't come back!" Bai Qiyuan choked Xu Xian with words.

"How do you talk to adults?" Zhu Xing pretended to remind Bai Qiyuan, and then said, "Xu Zhixian did not hesitate to personally lead the troops to Qingyang Mountain for the sake of the people of Yanshan County, we should be considerate of Xu Zhixian, since Xu Zhixian is unwilling to drink this practice wine, then I will leave!" ”

"Please!" Xu Xian didn't go to tell Zhu Xing much.

He knew very well that none of the gentry in Yanshan County now hoped that he would return victorious.

He got on his horse, and the soldiers had already reorganized their ranks, and then the city gate was opened, and the group headed for Qingyang Mountain, which was more than forty miles south of the city.

……

……

After Xu Xian left, Zhu Xing, Bai Qiyuan and others were still watching from the top of the city.

They want to make sure that Xu Xian is really Pingqingyangzhai.

“…… This kid is also guts, he is not too old, but his breath is not small, and he said that he went to Qingyang Mountain and went like this? I'm afraid that before I arrived at Qingyang Mountain, I was wiped out by the people of the Songzhai master, right? Bai Qiyuan looked at the ranks of officers and soldiers in the distance and couldn't help but say.

Li Wan said: "Some things are really uncertain, maybe those thieves in Qingyang Mountain don't want to fight with him, and in the end they end up in vain?" ”

Zhu Xing sighed: "Anyway, the surname Xu has led the troops out again, this time he will not kill back in one day, it will take forty or fifty miles to go to a trip, with his marching speed, I am afraid that there will not be a day when he will not go to the foot of Qingyang Mountain, from Qingyang Mountain to Qingyang Mountain, it will also take more than ten miles, the terrain around Qingyang Mountain is very gentle, and he wants to use those methods of fire and smoke attack, there is absolutely no chance of winning!" ”

"So Brother Zhonglian still thinks he can win? Ha ha! Bai Qiyuan looked very proud and said, "We might as well wait and see how he kills himself, if he comes back in disgrace, he must not open the city gate for him, see what he can do!" ”

"By the way, should we contact the master of Songzhai in Qingyang Mountain? Give him some wake-up call? Li Wan reminded.

Zhu Xing shook his head and said: "Regardless of whether the surnamed Xu can come back victoriously, now we can't have a clear position to help anyone, not to help him, this is to be able to give an explanation to the local bandits, as for not helping those bandits, it is also so that when he comes back from victory, he will not tear his face...... Let's just stay neutral, whoever wins, let's get closer to whom! ”

"I don't think it's necessary! What qualifications does his surname Xu have to compete with the more than 1,000 people in Qingyang Mountain? The few people under him are simply not enough to stuff the teeth between the people of Qingyang Mountain! Bai Qiyuan said.

Zhu Xingyi waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's not care, go back and rest earlier, if you want to secretly contact the thieves, then don't be involved with other families, that's your own business, don't say that the old man instructed you afterwards!" ”

Bai Qiyuan said with an unkind face: "It seems that Brother Zhonglian, you are still old, if you really feel old and immature and can't bear all this, then after this kid defeats Qingyang Mountain, you will retreat first and let those juniors come out to preside over the overall situation!" ”

Between the words, there were certain disputes within the various families in the city.

……

……

In the air, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were also listening to the conversations of the patriarchs of the various families below in an invisible way.

Xiaoqing said: "Sister, let's go to see it before, the thieves in Qingyang Mountain, even if there are not a thousand people, there are eight or nine hundred people, among which there are as many as four or five hundred laborers who can go to the battlefield, and my brother-in-law will take a hundred people to go, can I have a chance?" ”

"It's all said, what depends on your brother-in-law, you ask me, how can I answer you?" Bai Suzhen said.

"I thought my brother-in-law told my sister everything, didn't my brother-in-law cherish my sister, and I still hid everything from my sister?" Xiaoqing pouted.

Bai Suzhen said angrily: "Your brother-in-law just doesn't want us to worry, and you don't want to think about it, in his mind, we are always just women's families, how can he tell us all these things?" Send Wufu with you first, let them protect your brother-in-law in secret, and you won't let him have an accident! ”

"What about us?" Little Qingdao.

"You are too impulsive to follow your brother-in-law, wait until the evening, let's go to Qingyang Mountain together to have a look!" Bai Suzhen said, "Before this, we have to ensure the safety of the city, especially the county yamen and our own backyard, for fear that after your brother-in-law leaves, someone will come to make trouble!" ”

Xiaoqing nodded and said: "Then I still listen to my sister, I always feel that after having a brother-in-law, my sister's opinions are less, and I always listen to my brother-in-law." Hmph, this family has become a brother-in-law! ”
