Li Qin continued to pursue the enemy with the Fujiao soldiers, and did everything possible to expand the results of the battle.

In the era of cold weapons, the real large-scale casualties of the two armies often do not appear in the battle, but when one side flees and the other side pursues, so once one side wins the pursuit of the enemy, it is necessary to do everything possible to kill and wound the enemy soldiers, the opportunity is rare and cannot be missed!

Chased all the way, chased out more than 30 miles, and then captured ** ten Hun soldiers, seeing that he could no longer catch up, Li Qin led the troops back, and met the Han soldiers of Lian County who Zhang Yi came to support on the way.

Dian Wei was covered in blood, and there were five or six human heads hanging in front of the horse, protecting Li Qin's side. Seeing the friendly troops who went out of the city to support from a distance, Dian Wei snorted: "These gangs of horsemen, cowards, they came out after the battle was over, are they here to share the credit?" ”

Li Qin turned his head and said, "Shut up, don't say more, you have too much nonsense!" ”

Jia Xu also trotted behind Li Qin, it was rare that he actually helped Dian Wei speak, he said: "No wonder the tiger body is unhappy, even I am unhappy." We are also the border army of the Han family, we came to support, but we didn't see their figures during the bloody battle, but they hurried to come after the battle. ”

Seeing that someone supported him, Dian Wei was overjoyed and said, "It's not!" Young master, you see, even Mr. Jia said that I was right, what I just said was not nonsense! ”

Without waiting for Li Qin to answer, Jia Xu said: "Pifu, I just said that you were not happy, but I didn't say that your words are not nonsense. If what you just said is heard by others, who will come to our aid next time? So your words are not only nonsense, but they are too wrong to be wrong! ”

Dian Wei said angrily: "You, you old horseman, you didn't kill anyone just now, you will scream next to you......"

"Say you're a puppet, you're a puppet, do you still need me to do it myself for such a trivial matter as killing someone? So what do you want you to do? Jia Xu said eloquently.

Li Qin waved his hand and said, "Doukou goes home to fight, and now shut up!" At this time, Zhang Yi and the Han soldiers of Lian County had already arrived. He hit his horse to meet him, and arched his hand: "I am Fujiao Li Qin, the current position of the Marquis of Fuping Army, dare to ask the general is Zhang Jun Sima?" His official position is smaller than that of Zhang Yi, but he uses the same level of etiquette, he does not dismount and salute, nor does he claim to be a lowly or the last general, he has no arrogant expression, but he also has no intention of flattering, and he has a very ordinary attitude.

But Zhang Yi immediately dismounted, bowed to Li Qin in front of the horse, and said: "The last general, Zhang Yi, temporarily resides in the position of Sima of the Lian County Army, and it is too late to support today, and I hope Captain Li will forgive me!" When he said this, it was tantamount to admitting that Li Qin would definitely become the lieutenant of the county and claim to be a subordinate. Regardless of whether Li Qin has anything to do with Beijing or the state, just say that Li Qin's victory and his promotion to lieutenant are already ironclad.

The other party was polite, Li Qin smiled at this time, he also got off the horse, held Zhang Yi's hands affectionately, and said loudly: "Thanks to Zhang Jun's Sima to come to support, otherwise after our Fujiao Army chases the enemy, people are sleepy and lacking, if the Hun army counterattacks, it will be bad!" ”

Zhang Yi's face turned red, Li Qin's expression was affectionate, and his words were gentle, but he obviously revealed a meaning: You came too late, this is not righteous!

Zhang Yi was ashamed, he took a step back, bowed deeply to Li Qin, and said, "In the ensuing battle, please see the performance of the last general!" ”

Li Qin said with a smile: "Everyone eats the military rations of the imperial court, they are all comrades, don't say too much politely, fight side by side!" Come on, let's get on the horse and go back, and we've seen the county magistrate. By the way, I don't know what the county magistrate is called, I'm far away in Fujiao, lonely and unheard, I don't even know the name of the county magistrate, and when I meet him, I have to make a good compensation! As he spoke, he rolled over and mounted his warhorse.

After he got on the horse, Zhang Yi got on the horse, and he said: "Where did Captain Li come from, Beidi County has been in civil strife for a long time, and the counties are not under the jurisdiction of each other, and there is less contact, you don't know the name of my county order, you can't blame you, why do you need to pay for it!" My county commander's surname is Qiu Mingsheng, and he is the head of the Qiu family in Beidi County. ”

Li Qin nodded, it seems that the Qiu family is a wealthy family in Beidi County, otherwise he can't mention the family's affairs.

Jia Xu and Dian Wei listened to Qiu Sheng's name, remembering his character who refused to support, and at the same time pursed his lips, Jia Xu thought: "Qiu Sheng, it should be to win, and ask others to win the battle for him." But Dian Wei thought: "It's called survival, it's really a person who is afraid of death!" ”

On the way, Li Qin asked some about the customs of Lian County, and understood the population and wealth, in fact, he was calculating how much support the local people could give him, and Zhang Yi knew his reasoning and answered them one by one, and even some things that Li Qin did not ask, he also said.

On the road, there were horn soldiers galloping back, and each of them was carrying bloody heads, and some even cut four or five, carrying them in their hands, hanging in front of their horses, and hanging in their waists, as if they did not make blood all over their bodies, as if they were afraid that others would say that they had never fought.

laughing and laughing, he returned to the camp of the original Hun soldiers.

Qiu Sheng is indeed not a bold person, but he is by no means an unassertive person. Strictly speaking, the county commanders of Beidi County belong to people with very "surnames", otherwise they would not be able to listen to the dispatch of the state and resolutely govern themselves without the county guard, so that the state would not be able to do anything about them.

When it comes to fighting, Qiu Sheng is not a person without ability, don't look at it as a civilian official, he is also a very gentleman, yesterday he showed timidity, it was when he suddenly learned that the Huns were going south, and the troops were extremely strong, the normal reaction of normal people, no one is perfect, he has shortcomings, but there are also advantages. To be a county magistrate in the outermost county seat of Beidi County, how can it be possible if you don't have any courage!

Once the hostile situation outside the city was temporarily lifted, Qiu Sheng immediately drove out with the people in the city, while cleaning up the battlefield, while helping Wu Danzi and others to collect the prisoners, as well as those Hun soldiers who did not die immediately, he also sent people to detain them, in short, he handled the post-war affairs in an orderly manner, and did not let Li Qin worry about it at all.

When he saw the Fujiao Army returning to the division, Qiu Sheng immediately trotted forward and shouted: "Qiu Sheng, the county commander of Xiaguan Lian County, dare to ask which one is Li Lang, the most righteous Li Lang?" He already knew Li Lang's most righteous words, so he shouted out.

As soon as he shouted, the people of Lian County looked over here and ran over one after another, scrambling to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed figure Li Lang, who defeated the Huns!

Far away, Li Qin said loudly: "I am Li Qin, I have seen Qiu County Order!" He also didn't have the status of a subordinate to give Qiu Sheng a salute, but as soon as he signed up, he had to dismount, after all, it doesn't matter what he says, but his posture must be sufficient, even if it is just to do it.

But Qiu Sheng immediately ran to him, personally led the horse for Li Qin, made a gesture to help Li Qin, and shouted: "Oh, this is Li Lang, the official is polite." Last night, because I was busy with the city defense, I couldn't meet with Li Lang, Li Lang, don't be surprised! ”

Once Li Qin is promoted to lieutenant, his rank will immediately surpass Qiu Sheng and become the highest military governor in Beidi County, Qiu Sheng is very good at being a person, and he will first greet Li Qin with the courtesy of his subordinates.

Li Qin got off the horse and smiled, just about to say a few polite words, but suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "Li Lang, the most righteous!" ”

The people slammed the ground and shouted: "Li Lang is the most righteous, Li Lang is the most righteous!" Not only shouted, but also hugged forward, desperately squeezed to Li Qin's side, reached out to touch him, touched his armor, and even some people wanted to tear something off Li Qin's body and keep it as a souvenir, as a family heirloom, and collect it as a talisman!

Dian Wei was shocked when he saw this, the people here in Lian County were too enthusiastic, even if they saved their lives and solved the difficulties of the siege of the city, they didn't need such a touch! He hurriedly stepped forward, stood in front of Li Qin, and shouted: "Hehe, if you have something to say, don't do it, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth...... suddenly thought that if the people moved, I am afraid that it will be even more unfavorable to their young master.

Li Qin laughed and said, "Thank you for the love of the villagers, how can I Li Qin ...... De"

Qiu Sheng shouted: "Where did Li Lang come from, you saved the people of my city, and it is natural for the people to thank you, you don't need to be humble, you don't need to be humble!" ”

The people were even more excited, and they squeezed forward even more, causing Li Qin to retreat again and again, until his horn guards came up in large numbers and surrounded him, and the enthusiasm of the people was controlled!

Li Qin said loudly: "Folks, the danger has not yet been lifted, the Huns are just the vanguard defeated, their large army will arrive later, according to the speed of the Hun soldiers' march, I am afraid that it will take two or three days at most, we have too little time, we have to prepare quickly!" Even if you want to thank me, you will thank me after I have completely driven the Huns away, at that time, I Li Qin and everyone will drink, not drunk or dispersed! ”

As soon as he shouted these words, the people immediately fell silent, and their hearts became heavy again. Yes, the Huns just fled in the vanguard, but the large army arrived later, and it was too early to rejoice!

Qiu Sheng said: "Li Lang is my famous general in Liangzhou, how to resist the enemy, the lower officials listen to you, and all the people in my Lian County will also listen to you!" In the face of the Huns' large-scale southward movement, the small Lian County was tantamount to a praying mantis as a car, and he was even ready to die in the city, so he simply handed over the command to Li Qin, and did not fight for power at the emergency moment before the war.

Li Qin glanced at him, not to mention other aspects, it is quite rare for this civil official not to drag the military generals back. He took a long breath, got on his horse again, stood up on his horse, and looked around Lian County.

After a while, he said: "If I have the help of Lord Qiu and the villagers, then I plan to build a fortification and fight the Huns outside the city, instead of just defending the city!" ”

"A decisive battle with the Huns outside the city?"

"Isn't that a field battle?"

Qiu Sheng and Zhang Yi were stunned, with hundreds of troops, and the upcoming tens of thousands of Huns fought a field battle, which ...... This is suicidal behavior, and it is impossible to win!
