The next day, Xu Zi got up early in the morning, summoned Zhou Xing from the enemy building, and took him and a few carefully selected soldiers to send Pan Zhanyang to the north. "A few of you sent Master Pan to Khitan, and when you passed through Jixian County, you handed this letter to the infantry of General Yingyanglang under the command of General Luo Yi, the tiger general, and said that it was the old man who had something to ask for. After arriving in the Khitan, everything was arranged by Lord Pan, and everything was honored by his orders! ”

"The general ordered me to go to Saiwai too?" Zhou Xing rubbed his eyes vigorously to confirm that he was not dreaming. He didn't close his eyes for a day and a night, and the expression on his face was very tired, and he really didn't look like he was in a hurry. "I, I'd rather be in front of the general!"

"This matter is more important than the guards, and you will understand the reason when you get to the Khitan. There is a large amount of my family property there, how to use it specifically, who to deal with, and Master Pan will explain to you after you go. Xuzi patted the other party on the shoulder and spoke seriously. If this happens, it will be a blessing for the community. So I have to have a safe person to go. Try not to delay on the way, I am waiting for your hearing back in Xingyang! ”

Once you go back and forth, even if you don't delay, it will take half a year. Zhou Xing was reluctant in his heart, but the military order was difficult to disobey, so he had to solemnly put the letter away. "Then I'll go back quickly, and don't forget me when the general comes!"

"Come with me to live in the tribe for a few days, and I promise you that you don't want to go back to the Central Plains by then. Your general is the richest man, and when the time comes, the two of us will spend it for him to our heart's content, and we won't be able to spend it in ten years or eight years. Pan Zhanyang saw that Zhou Xing was in low spirits, and smiled and enlightened.

Looking back, he suggested to Li Xu again: "But your trick may not work, there is a way to be splashed by the married daughter." Shibi Khan really cares about his stepmother and Kedun, but Princess Yicheng has been married to the Turks for seventeen or eight years, marrying her father first and then her son, changing hands back and forth like a prostitute, and I am afraid that she only hates Da Sui in her heart! ”

This is a delaying plan that Xu Zi and he discussed overnight yesterday. During the reign of the first emperor, he once married Yu Qimin Khan, the daughter of the clan, in the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, and was called Princess Yicheng. After the death of Qimin Khan, according to the Turkic tradition, Princess Yicheng passed on to her stepson, and the new khan was borne. Xuzi had no way to convince the court of Pan Zhanyang's warning, so he had to ask the other party to spend money to buy off the Turkic nobles and find a way to contact Princess Yicheng. Then Yicheng came forward to influence Shibi Khan's decision-making, and tried to win time for the Great Sui to prepare.

"It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. I know it's going to be difficult, but that's the only thing I can do right now. Li Xu sighed and replied. Playing this kind of conspiracy, Yu Wenshi and Xu Maogong are much better than him. But one of those two people was busy grabbing military power for the family, and the other was busy fighting for the bandits, so they had no time to take care of him. So it can only be up to him, the person who is the least good at planning, to make a decision.

After a deep sigh, Xu Zi added: "I think Her Royal Highness the princess also needs a foreign aid, her own maiden family was smashed, and it is not good for her status!" ”

"That's right, the battle in the harem is no less dangerous than the battle between the two armies. The harder the backer behind you, the higher your head will be raised in front of men! "Pan Zhanyang has witnessed how Ah Yun has gained a firm foothold in the feather ridge in recent years, so he knows a lot about the competition for favor and glory between women." As long as the Central Plains forces compete with the outside world, Princess Yicheng's position will be unbreakable. On the contrary, it is a loss for both. I can't see that you fool still have so many twists and turns in your stomach! ”

"Alright, let's hurry up. Don't delay on the road. Li Xu smiled and punched Pan Zhanyang, and stuffed the reins of the horse to him. If you don't do your best, I'll come to you in the future. Your princess owes me a favor, and I want her to hand you over......"

"Then I'll tell the Great Khan that you covet the beauty of his concubine!" Pan Zhanyang jumped on his mount and shook the reins vigorously. More than a dozen horses quickly spread their hooves and walked away with his entourage and Zhou Xing and others. Run up the hill, through the willow forest, and leave the city behind.

"People suffer a lot, but they will always learn to be good!" Xuzi turned around and pulled the black horse and slowly walked towards the city gate. Nine times out of ten, Zhou Xing was sent by the Wagang army, but killing him without tangible evidence inevitably made the brothers feel cold. And this person pulled it up by himself, and when he was in trouble, he didn't have any brilliance on his face.

And sending him to the outside of the plug is tantamount to quietly pinching the Wagang Army's eyeliner. When he rushed back from the plug after completing the task, it was estimated that the battle around Xingyang would also be clear. He wanted to report to Xu Dayan again, but he couldn't save the endgame.

Thinking of Xu Maogong, Xu Zi suddenly recalled a few details of yesterday's battle. In the battle of life and death on the east bank of the canal, Li Mi did not let Xu Dayan follow him. And after Li Mi was injured, Cheng Zhijie did not rush to the rescue with all his might. All kinds of strange phenomena show that there is a big gap between the original soldiers and horses of the Wagang Army and the heroes of the rivers and lakes collected by Li Mi. If you make good use of it, you may be able to achieve unexpected results.

While thinking about his thoughts, he absentmindedly returned the salute to the soldiers guarding the city gates. Today, the original martial city has returned to calm from the panic, so there are traders and short-term workers on the road who are carrying burdens. Some of the children were playing with stones on the side of the road, and some of them were even bold, even thinking about touching the brown fur of the black wind. The naughty boy's mother ran forward quickly and raised her wand in the air.

Xu Zi didn't pay much attention to all these trivial things, he focused on imagining how to avoid a head-to-head confrontation with Big Eye on the field, not fear, but unbearable. "If only the big eyes were willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I can vouch for it with my life!" Deep down, Asahi thought extravagantly. Then he slapped himself hard and shattered the impossible dream.

"What did Zhong Jian do when he slapped himself, do you regret missing a karma?" Luo Shixin's voice came from the side, with a bit of ridicule.

"I slept late yesterday, so I'm a little sleepy!" Asahiko shook her head and replied with a smile. "Didn't you go and lead the people to clean up the battlefield with the county commander? Or did he still refuse to believe that the Wagang army had been defeated. ”

Thinking of the actions of the timid county commander, the pro-soldiers all showed knowing smiles on their faces. And what Luo Shixin said next made everyone's smiles thicker. "Uncle Bao has arrived, with five thousand foot soldiers. After Lord Zhang escorted us to leave Yangwu's baggage hall, he came to meet in the afternoon! ”

"Lord Zhang's side didn't encounter the Wagang Army? Or did you defeat it completely? Li Xu perked up and asked happily.

Zhang Xutuo was able to come so quickly, obviously there was no major battle with the Wagang army. Zhou Xing's speculation should be right, Xu Maogong was reluctant to let his subordinates die in vain. Zhang Xutuo also maintained his usual caution in the face of unclear circumstances.

Luo Shixin nodded and gave Xuzi an affirmative answer. "Lord Zhang Xutuo didn't encounter the Wagang Army at all. A few thieves harassed near Yangwu, but as soon as the adults were about to wave their troops to meet them, they retreated on their own. My lord was going to rush over directly yesterday, but our messenger delivered the news first, so the soldiers and horses repaired in Yangwu City for half the night. ”

"Shu Bao is worried that the Wagang army will come back, and this morning he led a part of the brothers to set off on the fourth watch, and you just sent the guests away from the north gate, and he entered the south gate. When the county magistrate saw so many soldiers and horses, he was relieved. took the initiative to take care of the work of cleaning the battlefield, and said that let us have a good rest, and he had to fulfill the responsibility of guarding the land. Luo Shixin smiled and introduced the whole story to Xuzi.

"He's getting fast enough!" Thinking about the attitude of the county commander Wang Zhicheng last night who was eager to let the county soldiers pull out the camp immediately, Xu Zi scolded with a smile.

"Of course, the action is quick. The county is safe, and you promised to give him a share of the military merits. With this merit of protecting the territory and the people, if he tries to find a way to do it, is he still worried that he will not be promoted? Luo Shixin shrugged his shoulders and was very disdainful of the behavior of the officialdom in the wind and rudder.

"Isn't this what Master Zhang ordered? The literati can't be offended, otherwise they will be more difficult than bandits once they get into trouble with you! Asahiko also shrugged her shoulders and explained.

The sedan chair carries people, which is the tradition left by Lord Zhang Xutuo. With the help of the local civil officer, the day-to-day affairs of the county soldiers were also much easier to handle. So if you look down on it, you will look down on it, and Luo Shixin will not be stingy with Xuzi to share those credits. "I don't look down on his eagerness, as if you're afraid you'll pay the bill. He didn't inquire about it, and if he followed our brothers, he was afraid that he would not have merit in the future? ”

"That's just as well!" Li Xu responded with confidence. "It is estimated that he doesn't have much contact with Qi County!"

"Don't mention him." Luo Shixin was in a surprisingly good mood today, and he smiled and diverted the topic. "There are also distinguished guests who have come to you with Uncle Bao. It is your old friend, and I have arranged for him to be your temporary lodging. Shubao took people to Zhang Luo wine and food, let's celebrate at noon today! ”

"My old friend?" Li Xu looked at it and asked.

He had just sent one away in the morning, and he didn't know what else would follow. Luo Shixin had long been accustomed to Li Xu making some friends with strange origins, nodded, and added gloatingly, "Of course, people come from thousands of miles." Hurry into the yard and take a look, it's guaranteed to be better than last night's beckoning! ”

As he spoke, his destination had arrived, and he reached out to push open the courtyard door and pushed Xuzi in.

The temporary residence arranged by the prefectural magistrate was obviously cleaned up at a very fast pace, and it was extraordinary from the inside out. The most obvious is that the wall directly opposite the door has just been repainted with chalk and is rolling mortar downward. Under the courtyard walls on three sides, there are still a few craftsmen who are busy filling the gaps, and there are stacks of green bricks and green tiles.

Xu Zi frowned in surprise, and looked back at Luo Shixin, not knowing why the other party made such a big move. "Aren't we going west immediately, what are you asking people to do with this?"

"You'll understand when you go in, I'm not here for you!" Luo Shixin smiled abruptly and emphasized.

At this moment, the door of the main room "squeaked!" With a bang, the bright sunlight reflected in the doorway
