"Iron Head Jiao" had just won, and he was very excited in his heart, and after listening to Qiu Yizhi's words, he echoed: "Don't surrender yet? Do you think your neck is harder than Lao Tzu's knife? ”

After hearing such a rebuke from the "Iron Head Jiao", they were so frightened that they hurriedly threw down their weapons, and many of them knelt down in a small space and shouted "spare their lives."

Seeing such a scene, Qiu Yizhi had already guessed the identity of the group of soldiers in front of him, so he asked aloud: "Are you waiting for the defeated army in Jiangnan Province that was defeated by the Lingnan Army?" Who led the army? Come out and talk! ”

Qiu Yizhi asked several times, but no one dared to come forward to answer.

Qiu Yizhi was not a slow man, and he did not have the patience to entangle with these people in this damp and narrow valley, so he reprimanded sharply: "Isn't there even a person who comes out to speak? What's the use of keeping your guts? Just let me kill them all! ”

As he spoke, one of Qiu Yi waved his hand and said to the "Iron Head Jiao": "Did you hear that?" These people will give you a test of the knife to use. ”

Qiu Yizhi's words were just to scare the soldiers in front of him, but the "Iron Head Jiao" listened to it seriously, and was already very excited, wiped the Bohai Treasure Knife in his hand, and agreed with joy: "Okay! Thank you, sir! These heads are enough for Lao Tzu to receive a lot of rewards! ”

When the enemy saw the "Iron Head Jiao" sharpening his sword and murderous appearance, he was even more frightened, and finally someone raised his hand and said: "Our army has been defeated, please don't start killing!" Don't go on a killing spree......"

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he hurriedly ordered the "Iron Head Jiao" to stop and asked, "Who are you, please come forward and speak!" ”

The man hesitated for a moment, then squeezed everyone away, arched his hand towards Qiu Yizhi, and said, "The last general is Zhang Qi, the inspector of Lin'an County, Hangzhou Prefecture...... Please raise your noble hand and let me wait for a way out......"

Qiu Yizhi saw that the clothes on the person in front of him were dirty and tattered, and he could barely see the color of the school's uniform, and saw that he was indeed a military general, so he believed most of it, and said: "General Zhang, don't be polite, please look up and speak." ”

Zhang Qi slowly raised his head, moved his eyes to look at Qiu Yizhi, a little surprised and a little puzzled, and said, "How can the adult be a seventh-grade official...... But some of them are familiar, and they seem to have seen them somewhere......"

Qiu Yizhi laughed and said, "What? I didn't expect that the thousands of people under your command were actually defeated by two hundred regiments under the command of a small Qipin County Commander? Since he is the inspector of Jiangnan, he has always heard of the reputation of Qiu Yizhi in Shanyin County, right? ”

Zhang Qi was taken aback when he heard this, and looked Qiu Yi up and down several times, and suddenly realized: "No wonder, no wonder!" It turned out to be Lord Qiu, who followed his predecessor Yin Assassin Shi at the beginning and end, and led tens of thousands of people without being able to impress the adult...... Today, it's no wonder that he was defeated again at the hands of adults. ”

Qiu Yizhi sneered: "Hmph! Since you know that this is Shanyin County, and you know that the county official here is me, why do you dare to lead the army to trespass on my county jurisdiction without notification? ”

Zhang Qi wiped the sweat from his head and replied, "How can the last general have the courage to do this?" These are not all soldiers and horses under the last general, and I don't know that this is the defense area of Lord Qiu......"

Qiu Yizhi listened to his three words of denial, and he was aroused by his curiosity, and asked: "You are also a military general, how do you lead the soldiers?" As soon as I asked, 'I don't know', what is the reason for this, you can tell me in detail. ”

Zhang Qi hurriedly said: "What the adults teach is what they teach, what they teach is." The last general was originally instructed by the governor of Honshu and the general of Zhonglang to guard the city of Quzhou. However, the Lingnan prince was too powerful, and he defeated the army of the last general and several other friendly armies in three or two clicks, and soon captured Quzhou City. Now that the city has been defeated, our reinforcements from outside the city will not be able to continue the battle. But here is the last general, who has the highest military rank and the most seniority, so he pushed me to be the commander, and he wanted to find a way out for everyone. ”

Zhang Qi took a breath, licked his dry and cracked lips with his lips, and then said: "The last general thinks that most of the Jiangnan Province has been beaten down by the Lingnan Prince, and there is a Yangtze River in the north, so it is only the right way to go west to Huguang Road to join the right general Wei Hu, and this is all the way to the west, and I have no head or brains to run to the boundary of Lord Qiu......"

Qiu Yi nodded with a serious face and said, "Your idea is not bad, even when you are marching, why don't you understand the reason for sending someone to investigate?" I'm glad you met me, otherwise you would have been wiped out by now, understand? ”

Zhang Qi sighed and said: "The last general is also from a martial arts scholar, no matter how stupid and stupid he is, how can he not understand this truth?" Even now that everyone is a defeated general, who is willing to take the first step and risk coming out to explore the way? had to hug everyone together and advance and retreat together. ”

When Zhang Qi said this, he was a little choked: "This time, the last general has committed the tiger's might, and it is up to the adult to kill or chop up." But please also remember that these brothers are also soldiers of the imperial court, spare their lives, and let them go to General Wei! ”

Qiu Yizhi was not a murderous person, and when he saw the group of routed soldiers in front of him all in ragged clothes and hungry faces, he immediately felt compassion and said: "I think you are pitiful, now I don't need to talk about him first, how about going to my Shanyin County to have a full meal first?" ”

Not only those big-headed soldiers, but even the leader Zhang Qi was hungry, and after listening to Qiu Yizhi's suggestion, he hurriedly agreed: "Okay! Thank you, Aki, for enjoying the meal! ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded and shouted forward, "Where is Zhao Chengxiao?" ”

Zhao Chengxiao was in front of the mountain road, only more than a hundred steps away from Qiu Yizhi, and when he heard Qiu Yizhi's shout, he separated the Jiangnan rout army in front of him, and passed from the crowd alone with a majestic sword, and bowed to Qiu Yizhi and said: "What do you command?" ”

Qiu Yizhi said: "These are not enemy troops, but defeated troops in Jiangnan Province. You lead the way, let them camp in the open space west of the county seat, and then send someone to take the lead and inform Mr. Lin in the city to prepare a meal for 3,000 people. ”

Zhao Chengxiao nodded, and seeing that Qiu Yizhi had nothing to order, he walked back to deploy.

Qiu Yizhi turned his head to Zhang Qi and said: "I'm not afraid that General Zhang will be surprised, we are still an enemy, I am afraid that there will be a misfire and hurt the peace, please hand over your weapons, and we will keep them for the time being, and then return them to you after you have eaten and drunk?" ”

Zhang Qi heard that there was food to eat, and he weighed that even if he had weapons, he would not be able to defeat Qiu Yizhi, so he had to agree.

Qiu Yizhi said again: "Although these dead and wounded brothers were killed by friendly forces, they were also the sins of the king of Lingnan. You count these people first, bury them on the spot, and after the rebellion is put down in the future, the court will pay compensation according to the dead, and then I will speak. ”

Zhang Qi listened to it strangely: This Qiu Yizhi is too big, what does it mean to "I can speak", a small seven-grade official, his tone is so big, it seems that the court has to listen to you?

However, he was now under the low eaves of Qiu Yizhi, and he couldn't help but bow his head, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense at all if he thought in his heart, so he had to nod his head and accept it.

So Qiu Yizhi asked Zhao Chengxiao to lead the way in front, and he led the army to personally break the rear, escorted the defeated soldiers in front of him, and marched all the way to Shanyin County.

Lin Shuhan in Shanyin County received Qiu Yizhi's order for him to prepare meals for thousands of people, and he still had some doubts in his heart, thinking: This Qiu Yizhi asked me to prepare food for thousands of people, could it be that he took 200 people to fight the enemy, and could he still capture thousands of people alive and come back?

But he knew that Qiu Yizhi had always been an unexpected person, and maybe he had really won a big victory, so he called Xu Rong and summoned the owners of several restaurants in the city, asking them to set up a pot to cook rice, and prepare the meal before Qiu Yi's people returned to the city.

Qiu Yizhi was full of prestige in Shanyin County, and these bosses listened to his orders, and they didn't even ask how to settle the rice money, so they agreed on the spot, went back and took out the largest pot in the store, lit the stove and steamed the rice.

All of a sudden, the aroma of food in a county town in Sanyin was overflowing, making people salivate.

Qiu Yizhi smelled the fragrance of rice in front of him from afar, and he was happy, so he called Zhang Qi and said, "The county seat of Shanyin is ahead, and food has been prepared for you." You have to be careful to restrain military discipline, don't rush around, and after eating, camp outside the city, and no one can enter the city without my order, understand? ”

Zhang Qi's current life is in Qiu Yizhi's hands, where can he dare to disobey his orders, and Qiu Yizhi's words are very reasonable, so he quickly agreed.

After walking for half an hour, the county seat of Shanyin appeared in the eyes of everyone, only to see wisps of smoke rising from the newly repaired city wall of the county seat, and laughter and laughter came.

Because in front of the east gate of the county seat was the temporary residence of refugees gathered from all over the country, Qiu Yizhi specially led the army to bypass half of the city, came to the west gate, and sent people into the city to send an order, asking Lin Shuhan to send the prepared food to the west gate.

The defeated soldiers escorted by Qiu Yizhi walked for a whole day, and after a defeat without the strength to fight back, they were already physically and mentally exhausted, and when they saw that there were no more enemy troops around, they finally completely relaxed, regardless of the dampness and cold on the ground, some lay down, some squat, and some sat on the open space in front of the west gate of the county seat, waiting for the city to send food.

Qiu Yizhi grew up in the old Youyan army since he was a child, and he was used to seeing the strict temperament and tenacious style of the Youyan army. Now seeing that these routed troops in front of him are like a rabble, the anger in his heart will not be beaten, and he called Zhang Qi and said: "Zhang Qi, look at this group of soldiers under you!" What kind of mess is it like this, and don't you tell me that they all stand up and line up to eat? ”

Zhang Qi agreed, and said embarrassedly: "The last general also looks like this, but these people are not my direct soldiers, and they are not hard-spoken, so they really can't be restrained!" ”

Qiu Yizhi was about to speak, but the west gate of the county town had been opened, but he saw Lin Shuhan and Xu Rong, leading the people in the city, pushing countless carts and carts of different shapes, carrying freshly steamed rice, and rushing out of the west gate.

When the rout, who had been resting listlessly on the ground, saw the food coming, they were like hungry wolves that had seen blood, and they were afraid that they would not be able to grab the food if they were too late, so they all stood up one by one and rushed towards the west gate.

The people of Shanyin County were accustomed to seeing the strict military discipline of Qiu Yi's headquarters, and thought that all the armies in the world were Qiu without committing any crimes, but they did not expect that there would be such an unreasonable and unruly team like hungry wolves, and they were so frightened that they retreated to the city one after another, and even the carts loaded with rice were overturned several times.
