Perhaps because he was on the battlefield, Xuzi's six senses were very acute at this moment. As soon as Qin Shubao's gaze swept over, he immediately retracted his mind from his contemplation. "We underestimated the enemy just now, so we suffered heavy losses!" He pretended to smile lightly and suggested to Qin Shubao, "If you try not to contact the enemy in the next battle, you may not lose to him!" ”

"But it may not win, the team on the opposite side is the elite of Wagang, and it is not so easy to break up!" Qin Shubao nodded and responded. He didn't notice that the smile on the other party's face was unnatural, nor did he realize that Li Xu was inadvertently emphasizing "him" rather than "them" in his words. He also considered the tactics of cavalry shooting to disrupt the enemy, the speed of the cavalry was fast, and it was difficult to shoot the feather arrows after running. If they were always on the move, the cavalry should be able to achieve a one-for-three battle loss ratio. According to the experience of fighting the Rogue in the past, when the loss exceeds one and a half, the opponent will be defeated. But on the other side was the Wagang Army, and through the actual situation learned from the round of battles just now, Qin Shubao did not dare to guarantee that the elite cavalry under his command would definitely be more tenacious than the enemy's will to fight.

"In that case, I might as well respond to all changes with the same. It doesn't matter who his opponent is, let him get in! Li Xu thought about it again and suggested. This is what he wants to say the most, "There is no food in the mountains, and they rush into it rashly, which is tantamount to committing themselves to a desperate situation." As long as we still firmly hold the exit from the mountain as before, even the Wagang Army may not be able to withstand any storms. ”

After speaking, he raised his head and looked into Qin Shubao's eyes with some eagerness. This is a very sound tactic, which is to damage the personal face of the commander. Another advantage of this tactic is that he can not face the manager of the Wagang Army for a while. He had seen and admired that man's skills. Back then, Xuzi never dreamed that he would one day confront him, and today, he has absolutely no certainty of victory in his heart.

"Okay, let's let them in!" Qin Shubao glanced at the opposite hillside again, unwilling, but helpless. "After the heavy wood with armored cavalry brigade was broken, the other brigades slowly retreated and let the enemy army into the mountain!" He whispered a command, then turned his horse's head resolutely.

"Retreat before fighting, you two are called retreating before fighting, avoiding the enemy like a tiger!" Luo Shixin protested loudly and smashed the ground with the handle of his lance. The white horse under his crotch was also mobilized by the owner's movements, and his front hooves were in the air, roaring with a "sigh and a sigh". But all the soldiers were tired of fighting, and they didn't want to continue this battle without any certainty. Luo Shixin shouted alone for a long time, and found that everyone refused to echo him. He turned his horse around and followed behind the armored rider with a grunt.

"It's just a skirmish, it's too early to say whether you'll win or lose!" Dugu Lin, who was in charge of leading the troops, deliberately tightened the reins, walked to Luo Shixin's side, and comforted him with a smile.

"Anyway, before we could tell the winner, we ran away with our tails between our legs! This matter is going to be heard by the fathers and elders, and we will not be laughed to death by others! Luo Shixin kept turning back, hoping that the enemy army would chase after him quickly, and everyone could find an excuse to return to the battle. To his disappointment, the Wagang Army had apparently lost the interest to continue the struggle, allowing the officers and men to slip away in front of his eyes, without any obstruction from beginning to end.

"The enemy army is four times larger than us, and the combat effectiveness is strong, and if we stop them, we will lose more than we gain!" Dugu Lin glanced in the direction of Luo Shixin's gaze and continued to add.

He saw that the silver-armored and white-robed general of the Wagang army was staring at his side, as if there were countless mysteries hidden in the smoke and dust raised by those war horses. The smoke and dust slowly rose, cutting off the sight of both the enemy and the enemy, Dugu Lin twisted his head back, and his heart was so confused.

"When they join up with the rogues on the mountain, their number will triple!" Luo Shixin kept waving his lance, and the weeds on the side of the road on the front of the mountain splashed in all directions.

"If they really fight with the rogues in the mountains, they are looking for death!" Dugu Lin shook his head with a smile, and said a word to break the mystery in the hearts of Li Xu and Qin Shubao. The Wagang Army is an elite division that can compete with the officers and soldiers of Qi County, but the other rogues on the mountain are frightened birds. When the two groups come together, their combat effectiveness may not be doubled. On the contrary, the low morale of the rogues will affect the morale of the Wagang army. But would the enemy lord be so stupid? Judging from the performance of the opponent's talent, Dugu Lin was 120 percent sure that the Wagang Army would not let his side get his wish.

The behavior of the Wagang Army is indeed not to be judged by ordinary courtesy. Early the next morning, as soon as the Qi County and Beihai coalition forces blocked the only road out of the mountain, the envoys of the Wagang army came to the gate of the camp. There were also 20 strong men, escorting more than 20 county soldiers who had been rescued on the battlefield yesterday with minor injuries, and carrying more than a dozen county soldiers who were unable to walk because of their injuries.

After the envoy saw Qin Shubao in the big tent of the Chinese army, he took half a step forward and bowed his hand. "Xie Yingdeng, the envoy of the Wagang Army, paid a visit to Governor Qin. Yesterday when we cleaned up the battlefield, our army rescued more than a dozen seriously wounded and more than 20 Qi brothers who were not too seriously injured, because it was late at that time, so we had to leave them in the army for one night. Today, I heard that your army moved the master to the mountain pass, so I sent it back to Governor Qin as well! (Note 1)

"Thank you for your general's kindness, today's kindness, my Qi County disciples will definitely be rewarded!" Qin Shubao stood up from his seat and returned the favor. His face was a little red, and yesterday, in order to avoid greater losses, he ordered everyone to evacuate without examining the battlefield. Today, the opponent saved all the wounded and gave them back, which is not so much magnanimity as a demonstration.

"Governor Qin, don't be polite, this time my Wagang Army was entrusted by someone to come to rescue his companions, and the offense is really unacceptable!" Xie Yingdeng smiled and replied. He wore a blue shirt and a crown on his head, and looked more like a scholar who traveled around than the legendary bandit who killed people without blinking. Especially after laughing, Sunshine suddenly wrote all over his face, and even the tension in the big tent was instantly diluted by three points.

"This person seems to have seen it somewhere!" Looking at the other party's free and easy smile, Xuzi said secretly in his heart. Looking through all the corners of his memory, he knew that he had never met a friend so young. The other party looked too young, even much smaller than himself. But the smile was familiar, especially the occasional confidence, as if it had been by his side a long time ago.

"Where did General Xie come from, I have heard for a long time that the Wagang Army is the best in the world, and it is a great blessing in life for us to be able to ask for advice in person!" Qin Shubao sat down with a smile, as if he was standing under the hall with an old friend who had not seen him for many years. Wagang Army is the strongest opponent he has encountered since his debut, yesterday the two sides were difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat on the battlefield, and today in the battle of words, he does not want to fall behind others by half a point.

"Governor Qin is polite. The Wagang Army is just a group of miserable people who have no way to live, and they are just desperate, how can they be called elite. However, the cavalry under the command of the governor is really invincible and invincible. Xie Yingdeng arched his hand again, the expression on his face, his body movements, and the words in his mouth were all full of modesty.

"General Xie is too modest. In yesterday's battle, my Qi County disciples did not have the slightest upper hand. Your army has advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and Qin admires it very much! Qin Shubao waved his hand, his demeanor was generous and calm, like a hospitable host. The purpose of the other party's coming to his barracks was definitely not to say a few tasteless kind words, but the person who came refused to go straight to the point, and he had to brake quietly.

"It's so boring!" Roth cursed in faith. The last thing he likes to hear is this tasteless nonsense. If you want to fight, you will fight, the two armies are enemies, but the mother-in-law and mother-in-law are endless, if the battle is like this, it is better to go home and hug the woman.

Fortunately, Xie Yingdeng didn't want to waste too much time, and after the voice turned, his words no longer sounded as good as before. Especially in the ears of Luo Shixin and others, those words can be described by the words "shameless".

"Since you and I are inseparable, why don't Governor Qin get out of the way and let me wait to go down the mountain?" Xie Yingdeng smiled and proposed, as if he was making a trivial deal with the other party.

"The general's kindness will be appreciated by me. But where the duty lies, we dare not abolish the public for personal reasons. Qin Shubao sat up straight and replied coldly. This was the biggest joke he had heard today, a gang of bandits had actually come to negotiate with the officers and soldiers, and put on a gesture of charity.

"Doesn't General Qin cherish the lives of his hometown children? The people on the mountain have already been expelled from Qi County by you, and the general's prestige is already established, so why should you kill them all? Xie Yingdeng seemed to have expected that Qin Shubao would give him a negative answer, and added another sentence unhurriedly.

"Come on, take five hundred hanging money, load it in a car and bring it back to General Xie, and count it as a ransom for the brothers" Qin Shubao waved his hand and ordered. He knew what Xie Yingdeng was talking about, who told him that he had just said that he would give the other party something in return! But there are many ways to give back, and it doesn't mean betraying your responsibilities.

"Captain Qin, slow down!" Xie Yingdeng stretched out his hand and stopped the pro-soldiers who led the order to go out. "I, the Wagang Army, are not bandits who kidnap tickets for money, and since I sent the captured Qi County heroes back, I didn't want any ransom. Today's words are a suggestion that is beneficial to both you and me, and I hope the general will think twice! ”

"I don't see where the benefits are, you are thieves, we are officers and soldiers. It is logical for thieves to kidnap people for ransom. Officers and soldiers go up the mountain to catch thieves, it is justified! Dugu Lin came out of the crowd and shouted proudly.

"Not necessarily. In this world, the so-called officials and thieves are just one robbing with a big seal, and the other robbing with a sword and gun! The envoy looked at Dugu Lin's face, responded with a smile, and choked him.

"The thief is rude, you really have the ability, let's see the high and low on the swords and guns, don't sell your mouth here!" Luo Shixin saw that Dugu Lin was pushed back by the other party with a word, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed forward and wanted to pull the other party's neck and beat him. Although the envoy Xie Yingdeng was wearing a scholar's clothes, his movements on his hands and feet were very neat. The body took half a step back, and turned slightly, already out of Luo Shixin's grasp.

"Of course it's good to be able to teach General Luo's martial arts." He hugged his fists tightly in front of him, looking like he was saluting, but in fact, he used the movements of his hands to push the arm that Luo Shixin continued to grasp to the side, "But the two armies fought, killing three thousand enemies and losing at least eight hundred themselves." Even if you kill us all this time, within half a year, there will be smoke all around Qi County! ”

"Shixin Mo hurt the guests!" Qin Shubao drank in a low voice. Just like yesterday when the two armies fought, today's Wendou, their own side still did not have the upper hand. This made him feel annoyed. It's just that there are so many young heroes in the Wagang Army, yesterday's main general looked like he was only in his early twenties, and today's lobbyist is at most sixteen or seven years old!

"Humph!" Luo Shixin let out a cold snort in his nostrils and stepped aside. If the other party was not under the banner of the messenger, he would be eager to punch him flat. However, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort, this person is light and agile between advancing and retreating, and it is difficult to take it down between three moves and five styles.

"General Xie, please go back. Since we have taken a share of the imperial court, we should do our best. As for what will happen in half a year, it is really beyond our expectations for martial artists! After Qin Shubao drank Luo Shixin, he got up and bowed his hand to the messenger.

"I might as well say it honestly, if the court continues to play like this, there will only be more and more rogues in the four fields, and you will have one less time if you fight the elite of Qi County!" Xie Yingden shook his head, still with a smile on his face.

"The elites of Qi County are fighting fewer and less, but there will only be more thieves in the world!" This sentence was like thunder and slashed to the bottom of the hearts of the generals. Especially Qin Shubao, the fact that there have been more and more bandits in recent years is what he has seen with his own eyes. At the beginning, when he was as young as Luo Shixin, he was bored in the yamen all day long. Now I am fighting for most of the year, and I want to rest at the end of the year, so I can't see that the thieves are happy. Thinking of this, his body softened for no reason, and he almost agreed to the other party's request. "Can you guarantee that these people will not come to the vicinity of Qi County again?" Qin Shubao asked blankly, after the words came out, he immediately understood that he had made a big mistake, turned his gaze to Li Xu, and changed his words: "You can't guarantee it, besides, the sins committed by these people in Beihai County cannot be atoned, I let them go today, where will I put the law of the imperial court?" ”

"Please think twice!" Xie Yingdeng clenched his fist to Qin Shubao, and then naturally turned his body to Li Xu, "Please also ask Li Lang to think twice, my Xu Junshi said that he doesn't want to fight with Qi County Yinghao again until he has to!" ”

"I don't want to fight Brother Mao Gong again, but God is so tricky, what choice do I have!" Li Xu heard a voice shouting in his heart. He felt that his mouth was bitter, as if he had eaten a yellow lotus. Yesterday, when the two armies faced each other, he recognized that the opponent's master was his brother Xu Dayan, who was his life and death brother. Today, Xie Yingdeng seemed to be inadvertent, but in fact, he deliberately mentioned Xu Junshi, which made him confirm the identity of the other party.

But so what, Qin Shubao was afraid of his status as a general of the imperial court, so he didn't dare to trade with the Wagang Army easily. Don't you care about the fierce eyes around you? The so-called creation makes people, and it is consistent with each other. Big Eye's volunteer that day was to become a scholar, and his own volunteer was just to be a hawker in peace. As a result, those who wanted to be hawkers became second-class uncles of the imperial court, such as scholars who were pretended to be exchanged. And those who want to be scholars have become the king of the Wuthering Mountains!

"Wagang County has no bad behavior in Qilu, for the sake of sending the brothers back today, if they go by themselves, I suggest that Governor Qin let them live!" Xu Zi hugged his fist to Qin Shubao and suggested in a businesslike tone. No one could see the despair in his eyes, and he hid everything in his heart. "If Qi Guoyuan's Niushan thieves also want to fish in troubled waters, please ask General Xie to go back and tell your military advisor" He turned his head and gave Xie Yingdeng a deep salute, "Li and the brothers are responsible for protecting the territory and the people, so they have to sacrifice their lives to stop each other. ”

"This Li Zhongjian, why bother to say it to death!" Qin Shubao didn't expect Li Xu to refuse the other party's suggestion when he opened his mouth. It would be easy to understand if Luo Shixin and Dugu Lin said such things. Because one of the two is ruthless and the other is arrogant, neither of them knows how to weigh the weight. But Li Zhongjian usually gives people the feeling that he is soft-hearted, why is he ruthless again at this moment!

When he was in annoyance, he heard the envoy ask in amazement: "General Li really doesn't think about it at all, doesn't he miss today's feelings?"

"Righteousness and private favor cannot be both, I hope General Xie will forgive me!" Li Xu replied with a sigh, as if he had been friends with Xie Yingdeng for a long time.

"With your Qi County soldiers and horses, the Wagang Army will definitely not be able to stop me!" Xie Yingdeng looked around and shook his head again and again.

"If you don't try, how do you know!" Li Xu also shook his head, and his smile suddenly became very relaxed, as if he had thrown off a thousand catties of burden.

found out that he was fighting with Xu Dayan, and before he fought, he had already been scared by three points. But that was yesterday, after being depressed all night, and now he suddenly figured out that since the two were destined to reunite in this way, instead of blindly escaping, it was better to let go and go to Bo Yibo. Regardless of whether they win or lose, they will live up to the friendship of the past.

"Yes, if you want to fight, you can fight, what do you do so much!" Luo Shixin found that Li Xu was getting more and more appetizing for himself, and he couldn't wait to help on the side.

"Leader Xie should push the money back, otherwise, wouldn't he return empty-handed!" Dugu Lin didn't open his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, it was a mockery.

"Go back and tell all the heroes on the mountain, I am waiting for you at the exit of this mountain!" Qin Shubao saw that several generals had made up their minds, so he had no choice but to obey the will of the people. Walked out from behind the handsome case and personally saw off the guests.

"It's okay, let's ask the generals again for another day!" Xie Yingdeng's eyebrows jumped up slightly, and the sentence in his tone was a little angry, but his demeanor was still polite. Before leaving the military tent, he turned his head and asked again, as if inadvertently, "I saw General Li's quick sword skills on the battlefield yesterday, I don't know which hero I studied with?" ”

"Oh, it's a heroic man who lives in seclusion, I didn't ask for the name!" A face flashed in front of Li Xu's eyes in an instant, and he finally understood why he was so familiar with Xie Yingdeng, it turned out that this person was a descendant of the Xie family in Jiangnan. I remember that when they first joined the army, Tang Gong Li Yuan and Liu Hongji had already prepared the answer for their mentorship, and at this moment, it just came in handy.

In the suspicious gaze of everyone, Xuzi added with a smile. "He grinds mirrors for a living, so he is called the old man who grinds mirrors by the people around him! If Leader Xie has the opportunity to get out of the jam, eight hundred miles outside the Great Wall, between the weak Luoshui and the Taimi River, there is a trace of him! ”

Note 1: Xie Ke, the word Yingdeng. After Xie An in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he joined the Wagang Army, and later became a Taoist monk, which was very prestigious in the early Tang Dynasty.
