The Fuzhou army attacked the bay mouth again, and suffered a heavy defeat again, Xiang Hui led three thousand elites to attack the bay mouth for a long time, the people were sleepy and the horse lacked the opportunity to be the bandit leader half Tianyun led the elite assault, three thousand soldiers were killed and wounded and half of Tai, and fled from the bay mouth in embarrassment, on the way back to Hailing, they met the cavalry battalion led by Xiang Feng, the two merged together, turned back and attacked again, unexpectedly half a day cloud had expected this, laid an ambush in advance, laid a trap, it was the time when the autumn was dry, a fire burned the two of them to a mess, and finally highlighted the sea of fire, and encountered half a day of cloud to attack in a good timeWhen the two fled to Hailing, there were less than two thousand of the six thousand tiger Benerlang left at the time of departure, Xiang Hui's foot soldiers were almost all killed and wounded, and those who could escape were the guards around him, these people were good and could follow Xiang Hui to escape, and the rest were either captured or killed.

Xiang Feng is called a disadvantage, since Huai'an led the troops to attack, a few months later, he has not fought a battle properly, he has followed Bantianyun around, almost all over half of Huai'an, Bantianyun is more cunning than a fox, and he can always smell it in advance, no matter how carefully planned and skillfully arranged, this guy can always accurately find his correct position, and then give you a far bet, always let himself follow behind his ass, and finally thought that he was blocked, or he did not face him head-on, and he fought hard, was burned by a fire, looked at the smoke and fire, all of them were like the subordinates of the stove god, and then looked at the original shiny hair, and now the war horse with a black piece, a white piece, and a scorched piece on his body, he had the intention of crying bitterly.

The Fuzhou army has been exhausted so far, Fuzhou is not shown by military strength, and after Xiang Xianhe was appointed commander, he was even more focused on getting into the eyes of money, but it only maintained a regular army of less than 20,000 people, and there were fewer elites, Xiang Feng and Xiang Hui both returned with feathers, the elite was lost, Fuzhou no longer had any soldiers to fight, seeing the two scars kneeling in front of him, the blackened face of the beloved general, Xiang Xianhe couldn't help but collapse on the chair, the fat of the whole body kept trembling, the muscles on his face twitched, and he was short of breath, It's very worrying that I won't be able to lift it in one breath, so it's over.

"What to do? What to do? "Xiang Xianhe finally recovered from the huge blow, the previous indifference finally brewed into bitter wine, now the salt workers riot has been sparkling, the bandit leader for a long time Yun Bingfeng has pointed directly at Huai'an, the capital of Fuzhou, listening to the spies report, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people, what will Huai'an take to guard? For the first time, Xiang Xianhe regretted that he did not seriously build a strong army, and at this time, what wealth and beauty, gold, silver and jewelry are all floating clouds, did he run away with these things? That's just afraid of the family, the emperor won't let himself go, it's still a dead word.

The huge ball of meat rolled around in the hall, beads of sweat rolled on his face, and as his footprints fell in the hall, two marks were gradually formed, and everyone in the hall held their breath, and no one dared to anger the handsome at this time.

After turning around a few times, Xiang Xianhe finally remembered that there were still his generals in the hall, as well as his advisers, these people ate him, drank him, used him, and took him, why didn't they use it at this critical moment?

"Are you all dumb? Now what? Hurry up and think of a way, I can't think of a way, before Tianyun cut off my head, I'll cut off your head first! Xiang Xianhe roared.

Everyone suddenly shuddered, this handsome man is unparalleled in the world in addition to his ability to make money, and he also does what he says he will do, and he immediately pays attention to it.

Hiring!

Reorganize and strengthen the army!

Divisive differentiation!

Recruit the bandit leader!

There were different opinions in the hall for a while, and a group of strategists even quarreled with each other, all of them were red-faced, and they all emphasized that what they said was the right way, but as soon as Xiang Xianhe heard it, he knew that none of these attention was reliable, recruiting troops and horses to reorganize the strong army, jokes, Lao Tzu's painstaking management of the two battalions of strong soldiers were wiped out without a single bubble, this hastily got a group of troops to fart, except for spending money in vain, it is useless, divisive, recruiting bandits, don't say that the imperial court will not allow it, the three southern states are fighting so hard, No one in the imperial court dared to say Zhao'an, Lao Tzu dared to take this risk here? Besides, that half of Tianyun is now in his hands, kill Lao Tzu, have everything, and will surrender to Lao Tzu?

Xiang Xianhe's fierce eyes glanced around the hall, and finally found that a person was bowing his head and contemplating, but it was Ji Sichen, the master Ji who he valued the most.

"Master Ji, don't you pay any attention?" He said gloomily.

When everyone heard that the big handsome man aimed at Ji Sichen, they immediately closed their mouths. Qi will look at Ji Sichen.

Ji Sichen raised his head, "Dashuai, what you just said is that far water can't save the near fire, in Ji's opinion, the current plan can only ask for help." ”

"Asking for help?" Xiang Xianhe said: "Who to ask for help, who will come to our aid?" I'm afraid they'll be waiting to see my jokes! ”

"Dashuai, why did you forget, we have a neighbor who is very tough! Even the barbarians are in their hands and even suffer defeats, what is the mere salt workers' riot, as long as the commander can invite them to send troops, the rebellion can be extinguished. Ji Sichen is sure of the authenticity.

"You said Dingzhou Li Qing!" Xiang Xianhe's eyes lit up.

"Yes, Dashuai, it is Dingzhou Li Qing, Li Qing's strong generals are all old characters, unlike our Fuzhou soldiers, although they are well-equipped, but they have never been on the battlefield, they are tied up as soon as they fight, and if they change these battlefield veterans in Dingzhou, they will definitely succeed, besides, Dashuai, Li Qing is a royal concubine, and you are a relative of the royal family, counting, the two still have some incense, they are both royal relatives, as long as you are willing to ask for help, I estimate that Li Qing will definitely look at the face of the princess of Allure, Troops will also be sent to help. Ji Sichen said.

"But Li Qing's army is all deployed on the front line of the grassland to guard against the barbarians, how can there be more troops to support us? If he draws troops and the barbarians come to attack, he will lose more than he gains, and he will not be willing! Xiang Xianhe hesitated.

"Dashuai, begging Li Qing to send troops with empty teeth, he is naturally unwilling, but if you are willing to pay the price, as long as the price is big enough, then why is Li Qing unwilling? Marshal, what does Li Qing lack, now he maintains such a strong army, and Dingzhou has always been poor, must be short of money, as long as the marshal is willing to pay a troop fee, then Li Qing will definitely transfer a part of the army over, by that time, Li Qing will get the money, and we will extinguish the bandits, keep Fuzhou, each has its own place, isn't it beautiful? ”

"How much silver does it take to exchange for Li Qing to send troops?" Thinking of spending a lot of money, Xiang Xianhe couldn't help but feel a little painful, but after thinking about it, he spent money now, as long as he kept Fuzhou, there was a chance to earn it back, I hope Li Qing's appetite is not too big.

"As for how much silver can satisfy Li Qing's appetite, Sichen really doesn't dare to say anything, it depends on how Dashuai and Li Qing talk!"

Xiang Xianhe circled around the hall for more than a dozen times, but finally couldn't think of any other way, so he had to grit his teeth and said: "Okay, I'll go to Dingzhou to talk to Li Qing in person, no matter how much appetite he has, I will satisfy him, as long as he is willing to send troops." ”

Xiang Xianhe hurriedly packed up and hurried to Dingzhou City, while the rest of the Fuzhou officials began to get busy, preparing for the city defense, the field army was gone, but the city still had to be defended, but as soon as everyone saw the thin and low city wall, the only reliance disappeared without a trace, and everyone pinned all their hopes on the marshal to bring back reinforcements on this trip.

Ji Sichen, who had been busy all day, returned to his mansion, although he was so tired that his bones were about to fall apart, he was still full of energy, and came to his backyard alone, walked to a fine house, and knocked on the door gently.

"Come in!" A female voice inside commanded.

Ji Sichen pushed open the door and respectfully saluted the woman in the inner room, "Director Qingfeng, I have already done everything you ordered, and the marshal has decided to ask for help from Dingzhou, and he has already set off today." ”

Qingfeng smiled and said, "I already know, you have done a good job in this matter, sit down!" ”

"Don't dare!" Ji Sichen excused himself: "In front of the director, how can I sit there." ”

Qingfeng said with a smile: "Master Ji, you are very smart and wise, you know that Fuzhou Xiang Dashuai is already about to collapse, and you have no power to return to the sky, although you have joined the Statistics and Survey Department and become my subordinate, but you don't have to be too formal, my subordinates kill people and set fires, steal chickens and dogs, but people like you who are knowledgeable, capable, and aware of current affairs, and understand the overall situation are really rare, and there are still many places to rely on in the future!" ”

Ji Sichen couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, he was able to pass the salt merchant Cui Yicheng to know Qingfeng, even if he guessed the truth of the whole thing, he was extremely wise and immediately chose to join the winning side and became a member of the Dingzhou Statistical Survey Division, listening to Qingfeng's tone, he would inevitably get a very important position in the Statistical Survey Division in the future, which couldn't help but make him overjoyed, he knew from Cui Yicheng that Qingfeng of the Statistical Survey Department was basically covering the sky with one hand, except for Li Qing, no one could reach into it, she spoke, That's pretty much the nail on the coffin.

"Director, my subordinates are a little unclear!" Sit sideways in front of the breeze.

"Say!" Qingfeng Channel.

"Since the director said that Hailing is extremely important to our Dingzhou, why don't you directly ask the marshal for Hailing in exchange for troops? Wouldn't that make it quicker to bring Hailing under his command? ”

Qingfeng said: "This is faster, I also believe that Xiang Xianhe will agree in the helpless situation, but this will be greatly detrimental to our future actions, what we want to get is the entire Fuzhou, not Hailing, in fact, once Dingzhou sends troops, Hailing is already directly under our control, so why bother to make this move, let Xiang Xianhe realize in advance that we have coveting Fuzhou!" ”

"The director is smart!" Ji Sichen complimented.

"Your next task is to constantly persuade Xiang Xianhe to ask for reinforcements from our Dingzhou, and at the same time make him believe that we have no covetous intentions for Fuzhou, but are only here for his silver, as long as he comes with a large sum of silver, we will extinguish all rebellions for him." Qingfeng smiled.

This is both money and land, and I am afraid that I will die in the future! Ji Sichen couldn't help but be glad that he had taken the last bus, and couldn't help but feel some pity in his heart for Xiang Dashuai, who was heading to Dingzhou, if he knew that every time he took one more step towards Dingzhou, he would take a step closer to the Ghost Gate, I don't know what he would think?

Ji Sichen said goodbye and left, Zhong Jing, who had been standing silently on the side, finally couldn't help but say: "Miss, although this Ji Sichen is talented, but he has no virtue, Xiang Xianhe treats him well, but he sold him clean in a blink of an eye, how can such a person be reused?" ”

Qingfeng shook his head and said: "Zhong Jing, you have been on the rivers and lakes for too long, and you understand the mystery there, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and if people are observed, there are no disciples, and it is better to be talented and virtuous, but how many such people can there be?" Even if there were, would it be of any use to me? More people are like Ji Sichen, as long as you control the Fa, I can use it. Don't worry too much. ”

Zhong Jing nodded as if he didn't understand, the court is really not comparable to the rivers and lakes, he only knew how to fight and kill before, but since he followed Qingfeng, he knew that it was sometimes impossible to use a knife to kill people.
