The rain was still dripping.

Under a mountain outside the village, several soldiers of the Anyi Army, including Guo Zheng, were digging a pit.

Li Congjing and others stood aside and watched silently.

After the pit was dug and looked very muddy, the team surnamed Guo was carrying Li Jitao's headless body into the pit with an An Yijun, and began to fill it with a shovel and shovel.

Dirt fell on the corpse, gradually covering his original face.

The pit is filled in, and a pinch of soil is piled up. No tombstones, no tablets.

The rain washed the newly buried graves, converging into tiny streams of muddy water that flowed down in all directions.

"The dead are great, and the earth is safe." Li Congjing looked at the grave and sighed lightly, "You are a rebel, die here, there is still a pit to bury, if your body is transported back to Weizhou, it will be torn to pieces." I'm worthy of you, but you don't need to thank me, people in troubled times are cheap, and you and I have blood on our hands, and it's not a pity to die. You are my first serious opponent, burying you, it can be regarded as worthy of you, and it can be regarded as worthy of myself. ”

After speaking, Li Congjing looked at the distant mountains in the rain with his hands in his hands, and was silent for a long time.

"Li Jitao is also a character, but he doesn't want to die in such a poor pimple, and he doesn't even have a thin-skinned coffin in the end." Zhang Xiaowu sighed.

Mo Li patted him on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter where you die, it matters where you live." Although Li Jitao is a traitor, the troubled times are a world of great contention, no matter what, he finally won a game for himself. Live wonderfully, so it's good, die, live up to your ambitions. ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded, bowed his head and fell silent.

"Fame and wealth, the emperor wants to dominate the industry, in the end it is just a handful of loess, what is there to fight for?" Tao Yao said leisurely, the raindrops wet her long hair, sticking to the leather armor, she crossed her arms, indescribably lazy and casual.

Mo Li looked at Tao Yaoyao narrowly, and quipped: "The dignified commander of the military intelligence department, saying such a thing is really demoralizing." ”

Tao Yaoyao glanced at him angrily, let out a cold snort in her little nostrils, and was too lazy to speak.

Kowtowed three times in front of Li Jitao's grave, Guo was standing up with several An Yijun, he walked to Li Congjing's side, and said loudly: "I can let me and others bury the lord with my own hands, I thank you." Let's do it, frown, I, Guo Wei, am not a good man! ”

Li Jitao is dead, he thinks that he has no chance of living, not to mention that he was in the dragon lock array before, and he also released cold arrows at Li Congjing.

Li Congjing turned around, looking surprised, staring at Guo Zheng, "What did you say your name was?" ”

The team surnamed Guo raised his neck, and said with a full temperament: "If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, you listen well, my name is Guo Wei!" He said, "You can do it, no need to say more!" ”

Li Congjing pointed to his nose and asked the young general in front of him very strangely, "Do you know who I am?" ”

"Li Congjing, you ......"

"Good!" Without waiting for Guo Wei to finish speaking, Li Congjing took his hand and looked at him eagerly, his eyes were very sincere, "Look, I know you, and you know me, in that case, let's be friends!" ”

Everyone: "......"

After burying Li Jitao, Li Congjing and others returned to the village, preparing to rest in the private house, eat some godmothers, wait for Meng Ping and others to follow, and then go to Zezhou together. After converging Li Shaocheng, gather the strength of everyone, wave Luzhou, and use Li Jitao's head to open the gate of Luzhou.

Back in the courtyard of Fangcai, Li Congjing took Guo Wei into the house to rest, and everyone lit a fire in the house, sat around the periphery, and roasted their wet robes.

Guo Wei just sat down, stood up again, and asked Li Congjing in disbelief: "You really don't kill me?" ”

Li Congjing sat on the wooden bench, lit the fire, took off his military boots, and said with a smile: "Of course, my words always count. Besides, why shall I kill you? and cannot sell your flesh...... The weather is warm and cold, and it really doesn't feel good when it's raining. Hey, Guo Teamzheng, don't be stunned, you can also bake. ”

Guo Wei was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Oh, it's ......"

Guo Wei absentmindedly took off his military boots, and kept thinking in his mind why Li Congjing didn't kill him.

It is said that this is impossible, not to mention that the two are in the hostile camp, even if they want to surrender, but as Li Jitao's confidant, he has embarrassed Li Congjing many times before, although that arrow did not cost Li Congjing's life because of the peach commander, but the crisis was caused by Li Congjing. This doesn't matter, if it weren't for his desperate blocking, Li Congjing would have killed Li Jitao as early as the Dragon Lock Array...... Doesn't Li Congjing hold grudges?

Wrong...... He only changed his attitude when he heard my name, what's wrong with my name? Guo Wei, it's very ordinary, there's no problem, do I have relatives and friends who are working for him and have mentioned me? It's possible......

Or, does Li Congjing want to use me to deal with Luzhou? It's unlikely, I'm a squad positive, and I don't have that much energy......

Li Congjing saw that Guo Wei was preoccupied, and he didn't have to think much to know that he must be wondering why he didn't kill him, but this reason couldn't be explained to him, so let him tell Guo Wei: Aha, in fact, I always admired you in my last life, you will be the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty in the future, a generation of Ming Jun, a talent, and you will definitely be able to help me achieve meritorious deeds......

As for this Guo Wei, whether it is Guo Wei or not, Li Congjing also secretly thought about it: the age is about the same, about twenty years old, the geographical location is about the same, Guo Wei started from the Jin Kingdom (Later Tang Dynasty), plus his people are brave and able to fight, it can be seen that there will be no such coincidence, this person should be Guo Queer.

By the way, Guo Queer has a tattoo, do you want to find a chance to verify it?

Li Congjing felt that it was necessary to give Guo Wei a clear reason why he had surrendered to him, so as to dispel his vigilance. Handing Guo Wei a piece of dried meat, Li Congjing said with Yan Yuese: "I have fought with Team Guo a few times, and I deeply feel that you are good at martial arts, but you are studying under a famous master?" ”

Guo Wei was flattered, took the dried meat, and said busily: "In the past, when my father was the assassin of Shunzhou, he invited a martial artist for Xiao Ke, so he knew how to punch and kick. I never thought that I had met the general many times on the battlefield before, and Xiao Ke really admired the general's martial arts. ”

If there is a chance not to die, Guo Wei will naturally not have a brain disease, and he will hit the south wall. Besides, he only joined the army last year when Li Jitao recruited troops, and although Li Jitao treated him well, it was nothing more...... Finally, he has an aunt to support who has raised him since he was a child.

It's just that he is righteous and upright, and he can't look down on villains, so he couldn't bear to abandon Li Jitao when he was defeated, and now that Li Jitao is dead, he still wants to live.

Li Congjing smiled and said, "Team Guo doesn't have to be too humble. By the way, when Li Jitao sent money to Liang before, Li Shaocheng captured a young general of the Yi'an Righteous Army in Luoping, and later fled for him, but Guo Teamzheng? ”

Guo Wei suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "It's Xiao Ke." At that time, it happened that Xiao Ke had a stomach trouble for a few days, but then calmed down and regained his energy, because he was able to get away......" After speaking, he laughed twice uncomfortably.

Li Congjing understood, he was still strange before, why Guo Wei was captured by Li Shaocheng, but he was extremely brave in his own hands, it turned out that when this guy faced Li Shaocheng, he was in the prostration stage after stomach trouble.

At that moment, Li Congjing stopped talking nonsense, took Guo Wei's hand and said sincerely: "Team Guo is a brave general, I admire my martial arts, and when the general is in danger, he will never give up, and he deserves the word loyalty, which makes my heart break." This time, my Hundred Battles Army Xinke Huaizhou is the time to employ people, and if the Guo team can be like-minded, it will definitely be like a tiger. Ling Tang is also a good minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, and this time he hopes that the Guo team is serving the country, so he will not let down his own ability.

Hearing Guo Wei say that his father was the assassin of Shunzhou, Li Congjing immediately affirmed his identity. He deliberately described his following of Li Jitao as "loyalty", and never mentioned the previous hostile relationship between the two, nor did he mention Li Jitao's treason, so as not to make him mind. moved out of his old son again, hoping that his son would inherit his father's will.

Guo Wei never thought that Li Congjing would think so highly of himself, thinking that he was a defeated general with a remnant of the army, the official was just a small team, and he was an ant-like existence, Li Congjing was so courteous, how could he not know the truth of what was good or bad, and bowed down at the moment and said: "If General Meng does not give up, dare not serve his life?!" ”

Li Congjing smiled, he was in a good mood, and pulled up Guo Wei, and there was no need to express his joy.

It was not early that day, and it was already dusk when everyone was drying their robes. Li Congjing couldn't bear to be scared away by his own villagers to spend the night in the wilderness, sent people out to look for them, and finally picked them up before dark, and immediately comforted them. If there is a soldier of the military intelligence department with silver taels on his body, he will give it to the villagers, so that they can accept it and use it as food and lodging expenses.

Li Congjing's actions made Guo Wei greatly admired, "The general's love for the people is rare in the world, Guo admires!" ”

On this day, Guo Wei has admired it several times, Li Congjing smiled and disagreed, but he knew the story of Guo Wei's angry killing of the butcher, and knew that he was actually very upright, and it was recorded in the history books that Guo Wei was aggressive, drunk, and gambling when he was young, but at the same time he was quite kind.

That night, everyone rested in the village and did not say anything all night.

Early the next morning, the rangers sent out to meet Meng Ping and Pei Yue returned, reporting that the army had left the village, and Li Congjing and others immediately left the village to join the army.

Pei Yue learned that Li Congjing had taken Li Jitao's head, so he naturally couldn't help but praise him, "Since Li Jitao is dead, there is no need for Luzhou to resist stubbornly, General Li has the right to temporarily govern Zelu, if he is open to the Luzhou military and civilian network, and does not investigate his responsibility for treason with Li Jitao, Luzhou can go down without a fight." ”

Li Congjing originally planned to investigate Luzhou and punish Li Jiyuan, Wei Zhuo and others.

After arriving in Zezhou, he stopped for two days and waited for Li Shaocheng to arrive with 1,500 cavalry. Li Congjing temporarily controlled Zelu's power, mobilized Zezhou defenders, and went to Luzhou together.

An army of three or four thousand besieged the city on all sides, and the momentum was not small.

Li Congjing threw Li Jitao's head, and asked all the soldiers to take turns to read out the disposition of Luzhou in unison, he did not mean to say that he would not hold Li Jiyuan and Wei Zhuo accountable, so as to deceive the city gate - it is impossible to deceive people.

Li Jiyuan and Wei Zhuo knew that they would die, and they resisted stubbornly.

Li Congjing gave an order, and the army attacked the city and fought fiercely for half a day.

That day and night, the soldiers and civilians of Luzhou opened the city gate to welcome Wang Shi, Li Congjing and others took the opportunity to enter, and Luzhou was broken.
