For the people of Tingmai City, with the implementation of the curfew, they all obediently hid in their homes and waited for the dawn to come. Only the people who lived near the gates of the city heard the shouts of slaughter near the gates.

The first thing that any fearful citizen thinks of when he hears this earth-shattering shout is to fortify his home. No matter what happens outside, they have to keep their homes safe and move things on top of the deadbolt if they feel that the deadbolt is not in trouble.

Even though they rarely encounter military disasters, they also know that the situation in the city is dangerous tonight. Whether it is the new prince who wins, or the son-in-law of the Chen family, the county master, who wins, it doesn't matter to them.

Although they all hoped that the prince of the court would win. But before the winner is decided, the people feel that it is best to be honest. As long as you don't rob them of their things, those who kill them will dare to win and who will lose!

While the people hid in their homes, praying for the dawn to come sooner. The cavalry of the guards who killed outside the city was almost chasing after the cavalry of the bandits. In the face of this kind of star-watching pursuit, the bandits also fought and retreated, and finally fell into a situation where there was no way to escape.

Looking at the iron spear around his neck, the big boss of Qingyun Village, and several bandit cavalry who abandoned their weapons and surrendered. In the end, I still chose to beg for a while, hoping to live greedily for a while.

For these elite cavalry, they are used to seeing life and death in cold killings, but they are also frightened. Even if they have some cavalry to fight, but in the hands of the guards cavalry, it is difficult for them to have a united enemy.

Such an asymmetrical battle completely destroyed the only bit of luck left in their hearts. If it weren't for Zhao Xiaoxi's order, let the infantry who went out of the city afterwards shout 'Put down your arms and you can avoid death'. All the bandits besieging the city tonight will be slaughtered by the cavalry.

It is rare to find a target for actual combat training, so these cavalry will not care about the life and death of the bandits. But Zhao Xiaoxi's order, they will carry it out unconditionally. Knowing that the other party was the leader of the bandits, the cavalry also spared his life.

As for the life and death of this big boss, the cavalry will be handed over to Zhao Xiaoxi to decide. All they have to do is hunt down any of them. A bandit who doesn't lay down his arms and wants to run away in vain. Don't you know that rivers of blood are already flowing behind them?

Those city defense troops who went down to the city to make some military merits, saw the hellish scene of Shura, not to mention raising weapons to chase and kill bandits. Many officers and soldiers, looking at the corpses separated from each other, couldn't help but run to the side and vomit wildly.

Only some city defense troops who are accustomed to life and death and have slightly better psychological quality are under the command of Zhao Wu. Begin to force the bandits who escaped from hiding place. Do not surrender. Directly besiege to death!

Faced with the temptation to pick up a life as long as he put down his weapon, almost no bandit would resist stubbornly. Looking at the bandits who were still fierce before, but now they are obediently bound, the officers and soldiers of the city defense feel very proud for the first time.

For a long time, the city defense army has been in the eyes of the people, in addition to bullying the honest people. It's useless at all, it's a bunch of waste camps. But tonight. They finally did something, what they were supposed to do.

With there are soldiers. Recognize the Chen housekeeper who survived. Zhao Wu, who was in charge of directing the arrest, immediately realized that this person was very useful. instructed the brothers around him to continue to preside over the clean-up work, and he first escorted Zhao Wu to see Zhao Xiaoxi.

accompanied Zhao Wu to be escorted to Zhao Xiaoxi's side, and heard that he was the housekeeper next to the former county master. Cho Hyo-seok knew. He was right. These thieves were really invited by the Chen family, and they planned to break the net with him.

Looking at the trembling butler, Zhao Xiaoxi said very calmly: "As the housekeeper in the county government, he actually colluded with the bandits outside the city to openly attack the city. You know. What a great sin is this?

Knowing that this king ordered him to stay in the city at night, he dared to commit this great crime of rebellion and rebellion. It seems that over the years, the Chen family really feels that he is the emperor here. There is no court in his eyes, and he is arrogant, so the king of Japan will take a look at how many heads in your Chen family are easy to cut off! ”

Facing Zhao Xiaoxi's words, the housekeeper looked very frightened and said: "The prince spares his life, and the prince atones for his sins." This matter is not my grandfather's business, this is what Miss Sun meant. The villain is just a housekeeper, and he doesn't dare to disobey the orders of the master's family! ”

I have always heard that the county master, who is now in prison, is a master who is afraid of his wife. Usually in the county office, the eldest granddaughter of the Chen family is more like the county master. often gives orders to the prime minister.,It's quite a bit of a female county order.。

Zhao Xiaoxi, who had woken up, quickly said: "You don't say anything about it, whether this matter has anything to do with the Chen family." This is a major crime of punishing the nine clans, and the Chen family cannot escape the blame. The county magistrate dared to do this, didn't she think that the Chen family was very strong?

You know that this matter has violated the taboo of the court, and you don't want to stop it, and you still help the abuse, do you have a housekeeper like you for the master? It turns out that this king still wants to open the net and give the Chen family a chance, but now it seems unlikely! ”

Hearing that Zhao Xiaoxi was going to make a move on the Chen family, this housekeeper who had been with Mrs. Chen for many years and was finally sent to his granddaughter. finally realized that the destruction of the family was in an instant, and soon desperately begged for mercy.

Wait until Zhao Da thinks that he is too annoying to cry, and asks him to confess the crime of inviting the bandits. The housekeeper of the Chen Mansion said undecidedly: "These thieves are not from Qiongzhou. They were originally the sailors of the Li Dynasty, and they often went to the vicinity of Qiongzhou to plunder.

Later, he was beaten and interrupted his life, and he had to hide in Tingmai to fall into the grass. The old lady also saw that their big boss was also surnamed Chen, and the Chen family also had some business dealings with the Li Dynasty, so he acquiesced to them occupying the mountain as the king.

But the old lady said at the beginning that they were not allowed to come around the country. If they dare to come nonsense, they will definitely send officers and soldiers to exterminate them. This time, it really has nothing to do with the old lady, it's all Miss Sun's misdeeds! ”

Li Chaoshui army pretended to be a bandit, this news made Zhao Xiaoxi really a little surprised. For the Li Dynasty, the preparation point should be the former Li Dynasty. A country established by the royal family surnamed Li is a neighboring country with Zhancheng, Zhenla, and Dali.

Its location borders the Guangnan West Road of the Great Song Dynasty. From time to time, it will also create some border friction, and during the period of the Great Song Dynasty Shenzong, there was also a big war with the Great Song Dynasty on the border, resulting in the life and death of nearly 100,000 people in transit.

Faced with the answer given by Steward Chen, Zhao Xiaoxi felt that it seemed that these small border countries did not want to make friends with the Great Song Dynasty, and they still broke ground on the head of the Great Song Dynasty at every turn. It seems that it is very necessary, to give the monarch of the Li Dynasty, a serious warning!

Zhao Xiaoxi has always felt that Qiongzhou is his future rear. If the rear is restless, it is indeed prone to problems. Unexpectedly, he didn't even think about whether to move Li Chao or not, but Li Chao took the initiative to hand him a knife.

No matter what purpose this big boss of Qingyun Village was attacking Ting Mai, his status as an active military attache of the Li Chaoshui Army cannot be denied. The appearance of the naval officers of the Li Dynasty in the territory of Qiongzhou in the Great Song Dynasty is very problematic in itself.

Thinking of the skirmishes that broke out again on the border last year, and because of the unrest of the border, the people of Yong, Qin, and Lian prefectures are also very afraid of the military conflict that may break out again at any time, and they have no intention of living and working in peace and contentment there.

This kind of thing came together, which made Zhao Xiaoxi feel that it was necessary to teach the emperor of this small country a lesson. Even if he has no intention of annexing them, he must let them know who has the final say in Southeast Asia from now on.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who had this thought, said directly: "Zhao Da, lock this guy up first." In addition, go outside the city to see, have the backbone of those escaped bandits been caught? If there is any alive, send it directly to the lobby, and the king will interrogate it properly. ”

If you want to start a war, you must have a reasonable excuse to get the support of the people of your country. And Zhao Xiaoxi also wanted to take this opportunity to test the cousin's attitude to see if he dared to let him temporarily take command of the army?

If Zhao Xu wanted peace on the border, then he would agree and give him an appointment to attack the Li Dynasty. As for the soldiers and horses, Zhao Xiaoxi did not need the support of the imperial court at all. What he wants to do is a justifiable reason to go to war.

If Zhao Xu refuses and gives him a corresponding appointment, then he will directly send troops from Qiongzhou to Li Chao. And the reinforcements can be drawn from Dali. I believe that in this matter, the Duan family brothers should not refuse.

It's just that in that case, the territory he occupies in the future may not be under the jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty. Either give Dali some benefits, and the rest will all go under the rule of the Qiongzhou Palace. Of course, if Zhao Xu agrees, he can only give him a nominal jurisdiction.

For the current imperial court, the situation in the southeast is just an itch for the skin, and the northwest is a pain in the skin. Generally speaking, unless a large-scale war breaks out in the southeast, the imperial court may send troops to the battle.

Otherwise, most ordinary border conflicts are handled by local officials themselves. In many cases, the conflict on the border has ended before the rescue has even reached the capital. This situation has occurred less than once in the Quang Nam West Road states.

Coupled with Zhao Xiaoxi's knowledge, this Li Dynasty seems to have existed for a long time. Today's emperor Li Qiande is known as the lord of Zhongxing in the Li Dynasty. After he took office, he has always been hostile to the Great Song Dynasty.

All along, he wanted to annex the Great Song Prefecture on Guangnan West Road, trying to extend his tentacles to the Great Song Dynasty. There is such a bad neighbor, and if you don't knock it, it is really difficult for Zhao Xiaoxi to conquer Goryeo with peace of mind!

Zhao Da, who got the order, knew from Zhao Xiaoxi's contemplative expression that this Li Chao was only afraid of being unlucky. Recently, this prince has been thinking about how to form an army and how to find opportunities for his army to fight.

Now it looks like their chance to travel again may be coming soon. I believe that as soon as this news comes out, those officers and soldiers who are immersed in training will become extremely excited!

As soldiers, what they desire most is undoubtedly to go into battle and kill the enemy. Because only by going into battle to kill the enemy, they can get military merits, and it is possible to be crowned marquis and general, and their names will go down in history! (To be continued......)
