Outside the east city, Li Xiuyuan led the three most elite battalions in the city with more than 700 people to fight Liu Feng, a fierce general under Liu Pan, who thought he could ask for a jackpot and boost the army's prestige, but he didn't want to gnaw a hard bone, Liu Pan asked Liu Feng to feint to attract Li Xiuyuan's attention, so that Shaonantong could successfully seize the West Gate, and attack on both sides, Liu Feng's boss was unwilling, and wanted to replace Shaonantong to attack the city along the waterway, Liu Pan comforted him and said: "Li Xiuyuan is suspicious by nature, and he is brave and brave, if he sends an ordinary person, he may not be willing to be fooled, although it is a feint, but also to make it look like some, you don't go, I'll have to go by myself. Liu Feng saw that his eldest brother refused to give in, so he reluctantly went, and all the anger in his heart was sent to Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan boasted of Haikou in front of the deputy general Jiang Xun, and retreated if he was not victorious, and the two of them fought under the city, Liu Pan saw Li Xiuyuan on the slope of the mountain with a calm expression, calm and powerful, and skillful skills, he was indeed a rare talent, and he fell in love for a while, so he secretly told Liu Feng not to destroy his life.

Liu Feng is known as "Liu Shuangdao", he was the first good man in the former camp, and he was invincible in the direction of the double knife, and now he was trapped by Liu Pan's hands and feet, although he was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to reluctantly fight with Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan and Liu Feng saw that they were invincible under the hard battle, and they were secretly complaining in their hearts, and suddenly heard the sound of the golden gong, Liu Feng actually left without a fight, he was secretly relieved in his heart, pretended to chase for a while, and then stopped his horse and prepared to return to the city, but he looked back and saw that the Khitan military flag had been raised on the city gate, and he was terrified.

At this time, the city gate opened, Jiang Xun flew out, and shouted as he walked: "General go quickly, the city is broken." Li Xiuyuan sighed, and was about to ask Jiang Xun the reason, when he suddenly saw Jiang Xun bending his bow and shooting arrows at him, and a feather arrow passed by with a "whoosh", Li Xiuyuan said angrily: "Jiang Xun, you are crazy." Jiang Xun sneered: "Idiot, I have returned to the Khitan, and I advise you to dismount and surrender as soon as possible." ”

When he spoke, a vote of people was killed in the city gate, and Liu Feng, who pretended to be defeated, also turned around and killed back, Li Xiuyuan looked up to the sky and sighed, and was about to draw his sword to kill himself, when suddenly a person broke off and shouted: "The general is looking for death by himself, who will raise the old mother." Li Xiuyuan heard the shock, the sword in his hand suddenly drooped, his hometown was hit by a disaster when he was a child, his father and brother died of illness on the way to escape, his sister was abducted and sold by traffickers, and was raised by his mother.

After garrisoning Yinzhou City, he was afraid of Wu Cao's suspicions, he deliberately left his wife in Suizhou, and took the old mother with him, so that the favorite concubine Thirteen Niang served, and the slightest lack was a beating, Wu Cao thought that Yinzhou City was barren, and persuaded him to leave the old man in the city to enjoy happiness, Li Xiuyuan insisted on refusing, saying: "The old lady is stubborn, I am afraid that I am not there, and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are dirty." At the same time, he privately said: Wu Cao has to keep my mother as a hostage, how can he be a big brother like this, Wu Cao didn't dare to persuade him anymore when he heard this,

Seeing that his mother fell into the hands of people as hostages, Li Xiuyuan's heart was immediately confused, and he scolded Laidao: "The big husband competes for the world, and if he dies, he will die, so why bother with women and children." Liu Pan smiled: "The general is a person of filial piety, Liu heard the prestige of the general in the desert, and has always admired it, if it were not for the soldiers who have no food for the winter, I will not go south, where I am offended, I hope to beg for forgiveness." As he was talking, Shao Nantong escorted Li Xiuyuan's gray-eyed mother out of the city.

Li Xiuyuan saw it, hurriedly dismounted, bowed down in front of his mother, wept bitterly, Li's mother scolded: "Although the commander is a Khitan, he is also a general of the imperial court, he does not dislike you now and is willing to accept you, what are you hesitating about, half of your life has fallen into the grass, has disgraced your ancestors, and you will have to follow a person with ill intentions for the rest of your life, think that Wu Cao will treat you as a confidant, the enemy is at present, put you in danger, and do not send troops to save you, this is to kill you." She muttered again: "I could see that he had bad intentions towards your daughter-in-law, and I knew that you cared about me, but I kept her hostage." ”

Li Xiuyuan was afraid that she would say something ugly again, so he hurriedly interrupted: "The child has already known his mistake." His mother said, "Since you know your mistake, you don't ask General Liu to take you in, do you want my old woman to kowtow for you?" Li Xiuyuan didn't even dare to say it, so he came to worship Liu Pan, Liu Pan hurriedly helped him up, and said: "Liu will ask the commander to ensure that you are reinstated." Li Xiuyuan said: "The general is willing to be contained, and the last general is willing to be a pawn, and Yinzhou City prays that the general will choose another good general to garrison." "All are happy,

Liu Feng stepped forward and punched Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "You are the second one who dares to fight with me in front of the battle, and you can retreat with your whole body." Li Xiuyuan asked in surprise: "Then who is the first." Liu Feng pointed at Liu Pan and said, "He is the first." When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he was both respectful and afraid of Liu Pan, and bowed to the ground, terrified.

Liu Pan rested in Yinzhou City for an afternoon, took advantage of the night to continue to go south, Li Xiuyuan volunteered to take the lead, he and Wu Cao before the righteousness, many confrontations, each other's routines are familiar, Liu Pan got his help, like a tiger with wings, rushed all night, only eighteen miles away from Suizhou, Tianming camped to rest,

Liu Pan was discussing the siege strategy with everyone, and suddenly received an urgent secret letter, opened the letter and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning and punching on the case.

Everyone asked the reason, and Liu Pan said: "Somehow, the princess suddenly had a whim and went south to find the commander, but she was so careless that she strayed into the mountain and let a group of strongmen rob her." Li Xiuyuan asked in surprise: "The one who kidnapped the princess is not Sister Gui on the mountain." Liu Pan hurriedly picked up the letter again, glanced up and down, and said, "The letter didn't say, who is this Sister Gui, there are several groups of strongmen on the mountain." ”

Li Xiuyuan said: "No. Mountain is at the junction of Suizhou and Yinzhou, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is very dangerous, since ancient times it has been a place where strongmen gather, the strongmen here have officials who have been convicted by the imperial court, defeated and exiled, nobles who have lost power on the grassland, and more are untouchables who have been passed down from generation to generation, the so-called untouchables are the prisoners who were convicted and degraded here in the previous court, this Sister Gui is a untouchable, her father was a waiter in the Ministry of Works in the court, Emperor Xianzong was convicted here, he recruited people to reclaim the fields, and sold silk cloth from the Central Plains to the Uighur tribes, Seeking huge profits, after the power sits big, he occupies the most dangerous terrain of the mountain Qinshan, known as the 'King of Hexi', Xia Suizhen sent troops to recruit several times in vain, and later bought his subordinates to assassinate him, his daughter that day, is this Sister Gui, only fourteen years old, she took the servants to slash the enemy, she made a big boss, also known as the 'King of Hexi', these ten years she has successively subdued several other mountain bandits in the mountain, and now there are no less than 10,000 people, Wu Cao and I have let her a few points. ”

Shao Nantong sneered: "Bullshit 'King of Hexi', a mountain bandit dares to be the king, wait for me to lead a battalion of men and horses to capture her." Liu Pan shouted: "Nonsense, people have 10,000 soldiers, how can you win with a battalion of men, wait for me to defeat Suizhou, and then go to her to ask for people." Liu Feng sneered: "At that time, I'm afraid that the baby princess of the Great Commander Family will even give birth to other people's children." ”

Shao Nantong laughed and said: "The second brother is really good at laughing, two women are together, how to give birth, don't you have to go up the mountain to help." Liu Feng was furious and raised his hand to fight, but Shao Nantong was busy and said forgiveness,

Yang Hongyang said with a smile: "The bandits' kidnapping tickets are nothing more than money, and send someone to negotiate the price with her, and when this side is over, our army will press the border, and I don't dare to let her go." ”

Liu Pan sighed heavily and said, "This is the only way to do it now." ”

Li Xiuyuan said: "One of my brothers is now the owner of the village under her, and he is willing to deal with her in the end." ”

Liu Pan was overjoyed and said: "Then there is Brother Lao Xiuyuan, you discuss with Zhuge Junshi, see what kind of meeting gifts to bring, if she is willing to let go, within 100,000 taels, you can agree on your behalf." Li Xiuyuan was very moved when he saw that Liu Pan trusted him so much, and said: "The last general will not fail in his mission." ”

……

Because of the sudden cold, Li Qing was lazy and didn't want to move, so she hid in the house all day to play chess with Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu, and this day she played chess with Tang Yu in the middle game, and suddenly she became bored, lifted the chessboard, stomped her feet and shouted: "Boring, boring." ”

Tang Yu and Jin Taoyin were already surprised by this, and when she had lost her temper enough, Tang Yu asked her with a smile: "You say this is also boring, then it is not interesting, what is the most interesting." Li Qing raised her chin and said lazily: "If I know, do I need to be bored." Jin Taoyin patted Tang Yu and said, "Don't worry about her, she is thinking about that wild man." The two covered their mouths and giggled,

Li Qing didn't care, she suddenly stood up and walked out, Jin Taoyin hurriedly asked, "Where is the princess?" ”

"Go find that savage to relieve your boredom."

Yang Hao didn't tell Li Qing before he sent troops to attack the city of the Tang Dynasty, if she let her, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, know, it would not be appropriate anyway, with his understanding of Li Qing, he had already thought that Li Qing, who was very quiet, would definitely come to find him, and he would make a big fuss about the Chinese army camp when he came, but he speculated that it should be at least a month later, since that day he confessed his heart to her on the shore of the cool sea, Li Qing suddenly became shy, hiding and refusing to see himself again,

Yang Hao thinks like this, the province is entangled by her and can't get out, a month, it's not long, it's not short, and after a month, maybe he has returned victorious, it's best to hide it, can't hide it, let her be verbose and nothing, it's okay to let her be verbose, it's a boat, and it's much more advantageous to explain to her than now,

After Zhang Bozhong secretly went south, he stayed in the military division hall was his protégé Fang Litian, Fang Litian was originally the governor of the Zuo Mansion in Suizhou, after being favored by Zhang Bozhong, he was left as a counselor in military affairs, and soon after Fang Litian officially broke away from the Zuo Mansion and entered Zhang Bozhong's disciples, worshiped him as a teacher, and became Zhang Bozhong's disciple, the military division hall is the core of the camp office, and there must be a trustworthy and shrewd and capable person to stay behind, before that, Fang Litian has been in Meng Ming's army as a counselor and military assistant for money and food, Zhang Bozhong recommended him as a stayer, Yang Hao agreed without hesitation,

When Li Qing broke into the door, Fang Litian was discussing with Lu Guang, counselor of the Inspectorate Department, he was sitting in this position, just enough to see the situation in the courtyard from the window, seeing Li Qing breaking into the courtyard with a horsewhip in his hand, Fang Litian jumped up and rushed out of the back door, Lu Guang didn't know what he meant, standing there stupidly, just about to call, Li Qing had already broken in angrily,

Lu Guang is an old minister of the Tang Dynasty and an old man in Fengzhou, who was originally the secretary of the Xining Military Inspectorate, although he has been living in the border town for many years, he still has a clear distinction between the monarchs and ministers in his heart, and when he saw Li Qing, he immediately knelt down and bowed, and he didn't feel that his scalp was fried, and the beads of sweat fell straight down.

Li Qing relied on the token given to her by Yang Hao, all the way to the Chinese army camp unimpeded, but saw that the camp tent was empty, only some old and weak soldiers patrolled, and suddenly became suspicious in her heart, caught an old soldier and asked, no one dared to say, her heart suddenly became angry, and she went straight into the Chinese army tent, Mu Hong, who stayed in the Chinese army, saw that the situation was not good, and she slipped away early, she couldn't find anyone left and right, so she turned around and went to the camp office, there were many people in the camp office, but the busy ones were all small, and they couldn't ask anything, thinking of the overall situation of the military division hall under the camp office, There must be someone left behind, so I broke into the small camp of the military division hall again.

Fang Litian has seen Li Qing a few times, and knows that she is not a master to be messed with, and he knows that her identity is embarrassing, so he has been wary of her early, and he has to pay attention to her from time to time, so that he can get out in a moment of crisis.

"Where's your handsome?" Li Qing split his head and asked, seeing that Lu Guang was still bowing to him according to the etiquette system, the anger in his heart decreased slightly, and he struck the table with a horsewhip, shouting, "I asked where you are." ”

"The princess is angry, Lu Guang is just a small counselor in the Inspectorate's Office, and the handsome man doesn't need to be informed when he goes out."

"Hmph, who doesn't know that you are his henchman, how can he not tell you." Li Qing said deceitfully, in fact, she didn't know who Lu Guang was, and she didn't know that the counselor was actually the head of the Inspectorate.

"The princess is elevated, and the camp office is indeed the confidant of the commander, but it is just a useless scholar who can't enter the body, copywriting on weekdays, and doing errands according to the will of the above, which is really insignificant." After Lu Guang observed the words, he found that Li Qing didn't know anything about military affairs, so his courage became fat, and he was determined to encourage the two thin lips to bluff the princess first.

Li Qing snorted coldly, knowing that the middle-aged man in front of her, who claimed to be a scribe, seemed to be loyal, but he was really cunning, and he had a war of words, and he might not be able to bargain, she looked around, and suddenly found that there was a map hanging on the screen, on which many lines were drawn in red and black. "Then he went out,

Lu Guang was shocked and frightened, this map is a matter of confidentiality, Yang Hao used it to indicate the attack strategy to the battalions before sending out the troops, it is not appropriate for Fang Litian to hang it here, but now he is alone here but let the princess see it, if he says it in the future, it is difficult to ensure that he will not be punished by the commander, thinking of this Lu Guang was uneasy, and hurriedly pulled the door and followed out,

As he walked, he thought in his heart: There is not a word on this map, how does she understand it, most of the legends on this military map are original creations of the commander, except for the senior generals in the army, outsiders don't understand the mystery even if they read it, but when he thought of the unusual intimate relationship between Li Qing and Yang Hao, his heart suddenly didn't know the bottom, if this man fell in love with a woman, he couldn't wait to take out his heart and give it to her, what is a mere map,

On the one hand, Lu Guang sent someone to inform Fang Litian, and on the other hand, he grabbed the horse to chase Li Qing.
