Guo Fangzhen's martial arts are not bad, but unfortunately he challenged Qin Shubao. The other party only flicked the wooden stick in his hand with a slight flick of the long lance. Then he swept sideways again, which was not a common move for Ma Lance, but it was more efficient to kill Guo Fangyu. The sharp lance slid against his throat, slicing the trachea and blood vessels.

"Ugh!" Guo Fangzhen covered his neck with his hand in disbelief, gasping desperately. When he realized that he had been defeated, he let go of his hand and fell on his back. He let out a sigh before the body fell to the ground. I don't know if it's because I'm amazed at the other party's martial arts, or if I'm unwilling.

"Put his head away and bury his body!" Qin Shubao glanced at the corpse that had fallen to the ground and ordered. The other party died like a man, and it stands to reason that he should leave a whole corpse for the other party. But the other party's name is Guo Fangxuan, and his head is destined to be blown by the cold wind on a high pole.

Two light cavalry jumped off the horse, cut off Guo Fangzhen's head, stopped the bleeding with earth, and then tied his hair with a rope and hung it behind the saddle. After doing this, the soldiers did not get on their horses, but looked at the woman in the pool of blood, their faces full of unbearable expression. "Guo Fangqian said that he is the daughter of Xian Yu Taishou!" A county soldier reported to Qin Shubao, "This woman has been leading our brothers to Guo Fangyu's side!" ”

Qin Shubao lifted the reins of the horse and took a few steps forward. The woman in the pool of blood was already exhausted, and a wound was cut from between her breasts to her lower abdomen. The figure was petite, no more than fourteen years old at best. The tattered clothes revealed very delicate skin, although it was contaminated with blood at the moment, it could still be distinguished that the owner of the skin had not been subjected to any wind and frost.

"Guo Fangqian said that this woman wants to watch him die under General Qin's lance!" The county soldier still remembered Guo Fangyu's last crazy words and relayed them loudly to Qin Shubao.

"What?" Qin Shubao asked in surprise. Immediately, he quickly regained his composure. "Take the woman's body back to the city, and let the local officials arrange a thick burial. Just say," he paused, emphasizing the second half of the sentence, "just say that she died to resist Guo Fang's rape, and she never fell into the family style until she died!" ”

"Yes!" Several more soldiers agreed to jump off their mounts.

"Go back to the city, poor Kou Mo. If you are blind in the dark, it is not worth hurting yourself! Qin Shubao said another sentence and turned the horse's head vigorously.

The moment he turned around, he felt very tired. led the cavalry to run for more than 300 miles, 1,000 to 100,000, and beheaded Guo Fangpre, this victory was not huge. But Qin Shubao always felt that there was something missing in it, just like the barbecue without salt, although he saw the oil splashing on the meat, it lacked a lot of taste in his mouth.

"When this girl was alive, she probably admired our Governor Qin very much!" The chatter of the county soldiers came from behind, and it drifted into Qin Shubao's ears word for word.

"Yes, in the surrounding counties and counties, when it comes to our Qin Governor, no one knows, and no one knows. I heard that the emperor also ordered someone to draw a picture of him and Governor Luo, hang it in the palace, and watch it from time to time! Another remark came, and the tone was full of adoration.

"These boring guys!" Qin Shubao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Accustomed to being talked about, he was too lazy to show his modesty anymore. "Guo Fangqian said that this woman wants to watch him die under General Qin's lance!" This sentence struck a far greater impact on him than the worship of the brothers. "It turns out that I am such a hero in the eyes of others!" He felt proud, but at the same time, there was a faint sense of loss in his heart.

"I don't know whose hands the other bandit leader, Qin Junhong, will die in?" Someone can't get enough of it.

"I don't know, I guess it will be General Li, I heard that he proposed this attack plan to Lord Zhang!" Someone swore to answer. The newcomer Li Lang is a martial artist, a good person, and extremely strategic. The soldiers of the county trained with him every day, and they had long accepted him as one of their own.

"Nonsense, such a big matter, Lord Zhang himself will not be in charge, and he can listen to an outsider!" Someone secretly looked at Qin Shubao and retorted in a low voice.

"That's it, that Li Lang general, but it's very colorful. Regardless of the smell of incense, a woman dares to pull it home! ”

Listening to the whispers behind him, Qin Shubao finally knew the reason why he felt that this big victory had little taste. It turned out that he was actually jealous of Li Zhongjian, and he was really useless. Unable to tolerate such a depraved behavior, he raised his hand and tapped the iron helmet on his head with great force. The crisp thump woke him up, but the behavior of his companions when the messenger arrived that day was clearer in his memory.

Qin Shubao clearly remembered the scene when the messenger Wu Qi arrived on the day when Li Lang would come out of the crowd when all the generals were worried that they did not have enough soldiers and horses at hand. At that time, General Li looked so wise and confident, and a brilliance seemed to be reflected on his armor, covering everyone's edge in an instant.

"The thief is self-assured, saying that I can't save it, I'll go quickly today, and I will break it!" After listening to General Li Lang's words, Lord Zhang Xutuo summed it up, and then there was this three-hundred-mile long-distance attack.

In fact, just as Zhang Xutuo and Li Xu expected, the rogues were completely carried away by the ensuing victories. With little warning, they exposed an undefended camp to the Qi soldiers who had come from afar. In a village ten miles away from the enemy camp, where all the people had been killed, Qin Shubao took his brothers to rest for an afternoon. In the middle of the night, the group shot the vengeful feather arrows into the camp of the rogues.

The performance of the rogues' sudden attack was also guessed by Li Xu, and in the panic, they didn't think about how many soldiers and horses the other party had. The people who were brought in were the first to stir up, and their behavior affected all the minions. So, as soon as the battle began, the ending was already very obvious.

The result of this battle was extremely brilliant, and as soon as Qin Junhong, another leader of the Liukou, ran out of the barracks, he was shot into a hedgehog by the local county soldiers who rushed out from Beihai City to meet him. The 100,000 rogues gathered outside Beihai County trampled on each other, killing more than 13,000 and capturing more than 30,000. As soon as the battle was over, they ran out of Beihai City in groups, chanting Zhang Xutuo's name and asking him to attack the city occupied by the bandits as soon as possible to avenge everyone's blood hatred.

There were also some real bandits, some of whom hid in the mountains without a leader, while others fled from Beihai County to earn a living under other big bosses in neighboring counties. After last night's battle, these people will definitely tremble when they see the battle flags of the county soldiers in the future.

Since Guo Fangqian and Qin Junhong didn't expect the county soldiers of Qi County to come so quickly, all the baggage they had looted everywhere became the trophies of the soldiers of Qi County. Qin Shubao roughly estimated that if all the grain and grass were pulled back to Licheng, it would be able to fill about 3,000 carts.

With this batch of grain, grass and baggage, the soldiers of Qi County can replace a large number of armor. Even the expensive armored cavalry could be expanded to another fifty men. However, the bleak state of affairs in Beihai County stands in stark contrast to the bounty of the loot. During the spring ploughing season, the rogues swept through most of Beihai County, embroiling the three cities of Yidu, Shouguang, and Duchang and the surrounding countryside. Hundreds of thousands of houses were burned and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced. Hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land that have been delayed for spring ploughing will be the first to harvest this autumn, and I don't know how many people will starve to death when the green and yellow crops are not harvested next year.

"Please Lord Wu help us inform the Beihai Fathers that if they are willing to go out and regain the lost territory with us, all the young people who are conscripted into the army can be given two hundred catties of grain and a horse of silk cloth. Cash out half on the day of enlistment, and cash out the other half after exterminating the bandits! Qin Shubao thought about it repeatedly for a long time, and finally made up his mind, hugged his fist to Cao Wuqi, a soldier of Beihai County, and said.

Wu Qi is the only martial artist in the entire Beihai County who has neither died in battle nor surrendered to the enemy. On that day, he also risked his life to break out of the bandit encirclement and deliver the letter of help to Zhang Xutuo. Before the imperial court appointed a new Taishou and the county commander to Beihai, Qin Shubao could only discuss with him how to cooperate between the soldiers of Qi County and the soldiers of Beihai County.

"What!" Wu Qi was startled, he couldn't believe his ears. After confirming what Qin Shubao had just said from the surprised expressions of the other people around him, he hurriedly returned the salute with his fists and stammered in reply. "How good, how good is it to let Qi County break the cost again, I said at the beginning, we Beihai County will be responsible for all the costs of this dispatch!"

As soon as he was in a hurry, his words were a little unfavorable. But the mind is very clear, and knows what to do and what not to do. If it weren't for the Qi County elite cavalry risking their lives to help, Sensei said that those captured booty, even Beihai City would not be able to be saved. Therefore, Wu Qi believes that the Beihai Fathers can no longer fight for the spoils of war no matter what, although the entire people are waiting to be fed.

"With just a thousand brothers under our command, we can't defeat three great cities. By the time Lord Zhang arrives with the county soldiers, I'm afraid that the three cities will also be ruined by the rogues! Besides," Qin Shubao pointed to the outside of the military tent and added, "The people have just escaped from the thieves, so they have to be given something to eat." Otherwise, isn't it forcing them to carry knives? ”

The soldiers in the tent were about to speak out against it, but after listening to Qin Shubao's words, everyone closed their mouths together. Driving the remnants of Guo Fangzhu and Qin Junhong out of the city was only the first step in the task of exterminating the Liukou. If we don't find a way to appease the people, those who have lost their homes this year will not be able to survive and will probably become outcasts. And so a new cycle began on the earth, until the blood could no longer flow.

"Then, then only food will be distributed, and no silk cloth will be issued. There are still a few big families in Beihai, and everyone will get together, and they will get together the military salaries of the young and strong! As for the old and weak, the county commander Wang has already written a letter to the court to announce the change, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the court will have food to be allocated. Wu Qi cautiously looked at everyone's faces and decided to partially accept Qin Shubao's suggestion.

"That's right, if Lord Xian had half of your foresight as Brother Yulin, he wouldn't end up with the fate of a broken family!" Luo Shixin, who had been watching coldly from the side, was afraid that Qin Shubao would give more interests to Qi County, so he hurriedly stepped forward and patted Wu Qi on the shoulder and praised loudly.

"In this way, Wu's generation of Beihai people, thank you for the kindness of a few adults!" Wu Qi was not used to Luo Shixin's enthusiasm, so he took half a step back and reached the ground again.

Everyone laughed and dispersed, and divided into preparations for the attack on Duchang City. When only Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin were left in the military tent, the latter suddenly turned around, looked Qin Shubao up and down with a very strange look, and said: "Our brothers from Qi County have traveled thousands of miles to save people, and it is just a matter of not taking compensation, you actually spit out half of the captured grain and grass materials." If this matter is known to Master Pei and Zhang Tongshou, it will definitely not give you a good face! ”

"Master Zhang knows why I did this. Since Lord Pei doesn't care about military affairs, he probably won't interfere in the distribution of loot! Qin Shubao shook his head and replied with a smile.

Zhang Xutuo taught him to be a far-sighted and compassionate general, and in this regard, Qin Shubao did not think that he was worse than Li Xu. This time leading the army to appease Beihai County is a very good opportunity to perform. When he made a plan, he was compared to Li Zhongjian, and when he did things, Qin Shubao had to fight for face back.

"Lord Zhang may not talk about you, but Master Pei may not be easy to pass! Besides, we are the military generals of Qi County, but we have done what should be done by the civil officials of Beihai County, isn't this thankless? Luo Shixin shook his head, not believing that Qin Shubao could pass the test smoothly.

"If we don't leave some grain in Beihai County this year, when there is no harvest next year, this place will have to become a world of rogues. This time, we caught him off guard, and next year, will people suffer the same loss? The year after tomorrow, if this continues, our brothers in Qi County will not die of exhaustion! ”

"That's just right, we have another chance to make meritorious contributions!" Luo Shixin clearly agreed with Qin Shubao's opinion, but shook his head and argued strongly.

Qin Shubao lightly punched Luo Shixin and said. "For the sake of the generals to have a compassionate heart, Master Zhang just told our brothers, is it rare that you have forgotten so quickly?"

Luo Shixin is brave and unusually brave in battle, and he is not afraid of life and death. But he also doesn't take other people's lives seriously. Zhang Xutuo believes that this practice will cause trouble sooner or later. Qin Shubao didn't think that Luo Shixin's shortcomings were obvious, but with the arrival of Li Xu, he felt more and more that Zhang Xutuo's evaluation of Luo Shixin was reasonable.

"This is also a comparison, so that we can see it more clearly." Qin Shubao secretly said in his heart, turned around, and prepared to plan a new round of war.

"Maybe Master Zhang has a point, but Brother Uncle Bao has really changed a lot! is a little like Li Zhongjian, not as brave and decisive as the original! Luo Shixin saw that Qin Shubao had moved out of Zhang Xutuo, and muttered and complained.

"Does that Shixin think this change in the foolish brother is good or bad?" Qin Shubao smiled and turned around and asked.
