Everyone had enough of laughing, and Qin Shubao wrote a letter to Wagang Jun, expressing his willingness to let the group of gangs on the mountain leave. In the letter, he claimed that this was not to submit to the might of the Wagang army, but to thank the Wagang army for their kindness in sending back the captured children of Qi County. However, the Wagang Army must ensure that Qi Guoyuan and others will not step into the two counties of Qi and Beihai for half a step in this life, otherwise, people and gods will abandon together, and the sky will thunder.

Then, Qin Shubao ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and make way for the intersection of Daishan Mountain leading to Lu County. As for Qi County on the other side of Daishan, everyone doesn't need to worry about it. Now that the spring rush is over, the county soldiers are returning to the camp one after another. With Lord Zhang Xutuo in charge, the thieves easily did not have the courage to pick up the tiger's beard.

"You can't even fool me with this nonsense, will the Wagang Army believe it?" Luo Shixin was unwilling and continued to question his approach to Qin Shubao.

"No matter what I say, the Wagang Army will not believe it. But he must leave Daishan as soon as possible. Didn't you notice that this army also came in a hurry, and brought almost no baggage! Qin Shubao shook his head and explained with a smile.

That night, the armored cavalry removed the heavy armor and iron equipment, quietly left the barracks with the light cavalry, and went to the village of Daining, fifteen miles north of Bo, to ambush. It was the pavilion of the emperor in the Qin and Han dynasties, and it was also an important supply point for entering and leaving Daishan, and the people were once very prosperous. However, in recent years, the imperial court has been collecting endlessly, coupled with the rampant local bandits, the people in the vicinity could not survive, and fled to other places one after another, and the whole village was defeated.

The county soldiers quickly took control of the entire village and drove the remaining 20 or so old, weak, sick and disabled into the ancestral hall at the east end of the village. "On the orders of the emperor, I am here to suppress bandits, and I ask my fathers and fellow villagers to be aggrieved for the time being. When the battle is over, we will immediately enlarge the gang! Li Xu ordered people to surround the ancestral hall while explaining to the panicked people. These people all looked very pitiful. If it weren't for the fact that their legs and feet had already fallen ill, I'm afraid they wouldn't have stayed in this place of constant warfare.

"Jun, Jun, can you stutter? You always think of us as good, we all know it in our hearts. But we eat wild vegetables these days, and we don't want to be hungry! "The people, who have long been accustomed to being driven around, do not complain, and the only requirement is that the soldiers can share some food for them to fill their stomachs, so that everyone will not squat in the ancestral hall for too long and starve out of breath if they are not careful.

Li Xu waved his hand and ordered someone to bring a bag of rice and two large pieces of dried meat. The panicked eyes of the surroundings immediately turned into ecstasy. The military masters hadn't spoken yet, and they didn't dare to come forward and touch the food. But all the necks straightened, and the throat knuckles moved up and down.

"Which one is the patriarch, give this food to everyone. Eat slowly, and when the battle is over, we will leave some rice for everyone. Xuzi sighed and commanded in a low voice.

"Great good man, you are always a great good man! Please leave your name, we will definitely give you the old longevity tablet, the fifteenth day of the new year, the incense continues. The people knelt on the ground under the leadership of an old man, raising their hands and eyebrows. Xuzi didn't dare to accept the elder's big gift, and walked away quickly sideways. After walking far, you can still hear the singing of merit and virtue in the ancestral hall.

"Great good people, you are all great good people......." The heartfelt praise sounds poignant. Am I a good man? Xu Zi smiled bitterly and looked at his hands, those hands that were roughened by the handle of the knife didn't know how many people he had killed, and several palm prints looked dark red in the firelight. Those people deserve it! He used to comfort himself like this. But Xie Yingdeng's words that day were like a bolt from the blue, "If the court continues to play like this, there will only be more and more rogues in the four fields!" ”

The word "play" is used very aptly. From a folk point of view, the imperial court is indeed playing with this land. Decrees are like child's play, and there are many kinds of tax tricks. When the officials do things, they only think about their own families and turn a deaf ear to the sufferings of the people. Including the last two Eastern Crusades, although Xu Zi wanted to make meritorious contributions in the army, if you look at it from another angle, these two Eastern Crusades that devoted the whole country to the country are indeed out of place, and can even be described by the word "nonsense".

"How did I suddenly become so rebellious!" Li Xu secretly pinched his thigh, forcing himself to put away those cranky thoughts. Since yesterday, his mind has been in turmoil, and all his thoughts are intertwined like hemp rope. One moment I was thinking about worshipping the marquis, and the other was thinking about the white bones under my feet. Even the black knife that never left his body, Xu Zi faintly felt that he could smell the bloody breath on it in his nostrils.

He thought about saving his friend's life after defeating Xu Dayan. I thought about being defeated by Xu Dayan, and then martyred heroically. I also thought about two people meeting in the army of ten thousand horses, one lifted the lance, and the other raised the knife. Thinking about it, thinking about it, I feel weak, and I can't lift the slightest bit of energy.

Asahiko didn't understand what was wrong with him, and no one could share his thoughts. If he had a friend like Liu Hongji by his side at this time, or a right-hand man like Wu Shi Tong to remind him, the latter would definitely tell him that all this confusion was because he had met Xu Dayan again.

Xu Dayan became a rogue, and he was the strongest combat division of the Wagang Army among all the rogues. Asahiko was so shocked that he himself was numbed by the shock. He didn't realize that the ideals and dreams that the two teenagers had said when they traveled north had been shattered like porcelain at the moment when Xu Dayan reappeared.

The moment after a dream is shattered is always the most confusing, especially some people who have long passed the age of dreaming, but have been immersed in the dream and do not want to wake up.

"Brother Shubao, you said that we are going to beg for thieves this time, what reward will the court give in the future!" Li Xu is never the only one who dreams of sealing the marquis, and when he can't sleep at night, Zhang Yuanbei asked quietly.

"It's hard to say, according to the rules of previous years, beheading the third level can be turned around." Qin Shubao looked at Li Xu and Dugu Lin and replied cautiously, "But there have been too many rogues in the past two years, and it is estimated that the imperial court will not be able to reward them for a while!" ”

"Yes, my father always said that the imperial court has the difficulties of the imperial court. But the brothers have worked hard to fight thousands of miles......." Zhang Yuanbei sighed, the smile on his face could not hide the disappointment in his heart. This was the first time he went out with the army, and together with his brothers, he defeated more than 100,000 rogues and beheaded more than 20,000 people. These heads are evenly distributed to everyone, and even a small soldier is enough to make three turns. As an officer like Zhang Yuanbei, who is a lieutenant, there should be no problem with the seventh and eighth transfers. If the court does not lose his trust, he will soon be promoted to the rank of governor, and his rank is almost on par with his father Zhang Xutuo.

"Alas, the imperial court. In fact, the emperor is still very considerate of everyone, but there are too many traitors at the bottom, and I estimate that His Majesty doesn't know about the rampant things in the local upper-class people! Dugu Lin took over the conversation and said loudly. He took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Qi County to assist in the local suppression of bandits, and he has never returned home since he came to Qi County. I've been with everyone for a long time, and there is no barrier between them. But when someone mentioned the mistakes of the imperial court, he still couldn't help but say a few words to defend the holy place in his heart.

Everyone didn't believe this answer, and turned their eyes to Li Xu. Xuzi is the second person from the imperial court other than Dugu Lin, who has been in contact with His Majesty the Emperor, and his speech is relatively credible. "Maybe the emperor, the emperor also has his difficulties. I've been busy fighting wars for the past few years, and I don't really know what is going on in the court! Xu Zi struggled in the eyes of everyone, no matter how slanderous he was in his heart, in front of outsiders, he couldn't say a bad word about Yang Guang.

"After all, he has a good understanding of me!" Asahiko lowered her head, feeling as uncomfortable as if she had been caught as a thief. After listening to the crowd for a while, he made an excuse to withdraw from the crowd. The rogue hadn't arrived so quickly, and tonight, he still had plenty of time to deal with the injuries on his body.

At two o'clock the next morning, the scout sent the news that the Liukou had descended the mountain to Dai Ning. Sure enough, as Xu Zi expected, the Wagang army took the initiative to stay and break off, and the three bandits of Qi Guoyuan, Lu Wei, and Li Laoxiang were mixed together and retreated first. The two armies were less than ten miles apart, echoing each other. When one side is in trouble, the other side can quickly provide support.

"What about Luo Shixin, when is Captain Luo going to attack!" Qin Shubao asked in a hoarse voice. He apparently didn't sleep well last night, and there was a bruise around his eyes. Dugu Lin, Zhang Yuanbei and the others standing next to him also looked very tired, and their young faces were faintly frosted.

"Lieutenant Luo has already made a detour to catch up, and if there is no accident, he will come into contact with the Wagang Army around midnight today. According to the current marching speed of Liukou, Qi Guoyuan and the others just arrived near Daining at that time! Duan Kai, the scout team responsible for delivering the news, spoke very neatly, and summarized the situation on both sides of the enemy in a few words.

"What about the Wagang Army, on the way over, did you find the scouts of the Wagang Army?" Qin Shubao was still not at ease, and asked loudly. So far, everything has evolved according to the expectations of the side, and this result has been too smooth and doubtful.

"I didn't find out that before going down the mountain, they sent people to test the movement of our army. After descending the mountain, our brothers who stayed behind to spy did not notice anything unusual! Duan Kai wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied very affirmatively.

"Tell the brothers to pack up their horses and blades before the time, and we welcome Qi Guoyuan outside here!" Qin Shubao thought about it and ordered.

If Duan Kai's report was correct, the Wagang army had not discovered that a cavalry had been ambushed in front of them so far. After the war between Luo Shixin and the Wagang army, the attention of the Liukou will be attracted by his 10,000 soldiers and horses. At that time, the cavalry in ambush in the village became a pack of wolves waiting for an opportunity, ready to jump out and kill the panicked prey.

Qin Shubao can foresee that this hunt operation will be perfect. "But could these guys be bait?" Suddenly, a strange thought surged into his mind. The thought was so terrifying that he himself was so frightened that his face instantly turned white.

But at this moment, most of the plan has been carried out, and everything is irreversible.
