At this time, the people who came here may also be Song Chengxuan's people.

Li Xu instructed the people around him: "You go and have a look." ”

The adjutant took a few people to check on the situation, and soon brought back one.

"The last general prepared manpower around, and he always wanted to take refuge in Gongzi, but he was stopped here by the Ma family's soldiers and horses, and I heard that Gongzi came to break the city, so I rushed over immediately with manpower."

The man was dusty, his armor was tattered, and he was very embarrassed, and he saw Li Xu with a happy look on his face.

"What's your name?"

"The last general, Wu Yang, just after the guard of the vultures, the governor of the horse came here, he vigorously cleaned up the soldiers and horses of the guard, and we didn't want to serve him, so I had to flee overnight, hiding around and waiting for the son."

Li Xu remained silent: "How many people do you have?" ”

Wu Yang said: "I'll wait for hundreds of people. ”

Wu Yang seemed to be able to guess Li Xu's suspicions, and didn't wait for Li Xu to say anything: "We have never made a contribution to Gongzi, and I feel uneasy, Gongzi is attacking the level, and we are willing to contribute." ”

Li Xu said lightly: "What method do you have?" ”

Wu Yang's eyes lit up slightly: "We have been ready for a long time, there is a village not far ahead, as long as we lead troops to attack that village, the people of the Ma family will go to the rescue."

To put it bluntly, the men of the guard post here were all recruited from the village by Ma Dudu, and they heard that their house was surrounded by soldiers and horses, so where did they still have the heart to defend the city. ”

When Wu Yang said this, he only felt that he was being scrutinized by a sharp gaze.

"Childe," Wu Yang hurriedly bowed, "this method must be feasible, I have already arranged it before I came, Childe only needs to wait a while to know if my method will work."

I will definitely help Gongzi kill Song Chengxuan's traitor. ”

After Wu Yang finished speaking, his eyes looked at the battle situation.

Although it was dark, the sound of fighting still did not stop, and the Ma family's team seemed to be tireless, and the officers and soldiers defending the city refused to retreat.

The situation is stalemate, as if it cannot be reversed for a while.

Finally, there was a commotion in the Ma family's ranks not far away, and some of the soldiers and horses began to turn their horses and gallop backwards.

"Ninth brother," Second Master Li stepped forward quickly, "For some reason, the Ma family began to retreat." ”

Wu Yang's face was overjoyed: "Childe, our plan has succeeded." ”

Second Master Li looked at Wu Yang suspiciously: "What strategy?" ”

Wu Yang said: "We attacked the village, and the soldiers and horses of the Ma family were really dispersed because of this. ”

Second Master Li couldn't help but be stunned, first attacked the guard, then attacked the village, the ninth brother really used all the means, the eldest brother was right, the ninth brother now wants to win this battle, no matter who stands in front of him, he will be eliminated.

Li Xu decisively ordered: "Break the city and go north immediately." ”

Wu Yang was overjoyed, all the deputy generals immediately commanded the troops, and Li Erye also immediately left with people.

Li Xu's soldiers and horses rushed forward like a tide.

"Second Master," Second Master Li was called, "the body of the Su family steward has been packed." ”

Second Master Li looked at the corpse of the Su family steward, and then the light of the torch, he saw that the back of the Su family's steward seemed to have blood on his neck, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and sure enough, he felt the dried blood stains.

The steward of the Su family was injured before his death.

"Second master, this person didn't commit suicide."

Vice Admiral Zheng sent the steward away, and then reported the death of the steward, if the steward was either committed suicide, or was eliminated by Vice Admiral Zheng.

Second Master Li's heart was cold.

Why did Vice Admiral Zheng kill someone? Are you afraid that this Su steward will reveal their news to Ma Dudu or Song Chengxuan?

Second Master Li raised his head, only to see that the soldiers around him were silent, obviously the person who collected the corpse had discovered such a detail, the ninth brother was so busy that he couldn't get out of his body, he didn't care about checking the body of the Su family's steward, maybe he was still in the dark, should he tell the ninth brother about this?

What if this is what the ninth brother instructed? Will the ninth brother get rid of him because he discovered the secret?

Even the steward of the teacher's family will be killed, and the ninth brother will lose his reputation sooner or later, and when no one supports the ninth brother anymore, he, the second brother, will also become the target of public criticism.

Second Master Li watched the soldiers carry the body away.

"Second master," the guard next to him stepped forward, "Uncle has no news yet...... We ......"

"Call our people over," Second Master Li said solemnly, "I have something to say to them." ”

……

Li Xu drove his horse into the guard.

Everything in the garrison was wiped out except for the bodies of the dead, and the defenders of the city found that the momentum was not good and fled one after another.

Originally, Li Xu's army had high morale, but after discovering that this was an empty city, everyone couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.

"After a short rest, we immediately continued our march north."

After this battle, Li Xu discovered the power of Song Chengxuan and Ma Dudu, both of whom were experienced in a hundred battles, and they couldn't rub sand in their eyes, and he would be immediately recognized by Song Chengxuan if he showed the slightest clue.

It took a lot of effort for him to capture this guard, and he completed the next step so that he would not lose his previous efforts.

The guards set up the general's tent, and Li Xu went in to rest.

After purifying his face, Li Xu lowered his head, and saw his own shadow on the water, the young man looked indifferent, his eyes sharp, and he looked very unkind.

After doubting his own background, he fled from the capital to the northern frontier, and then took over King Jian's people, he didn't want to be a little person who was easily used, King Jian had long been plotting against him, he didn't try his best to struggle, and the end can be imagined.

Taking advantage of the situation in northern Xinjiang to survive is the best choice.

Step by step, he has always wanted to be himself.

It's not Li Xu, Li Jiulang, or the concubine of King Jane who doesn't even deserve a name.

Li Xu sat on the chair, looked at the map in front of him and slowly closed his eyes to recuperate, there are too many people and things that he needs to figure out today, because of the hasty arrangement of everything, there are many details that he has no time to scrutinize.

I don't know how long later, there was a sound outside, as if someone was reciting the scriptures.

Li Xu got up and walked outside the military tent to open the curtain.

"Childe, there is a walking monk who came to overtake the dead soldiers."

After the monk finished reading the scriptures, he raised his head and looked at Li Xu.

"Donor," the monk stepped forward and stood in front of Li Xu, "the sea of bitterness is endless, there are too many wrongs on the donor, when will he be freed?" ”

Li Xu said lightly: "Is the great monk here to persuade me?" ”

The monk shook his head: "The Buddha can't save the donor, the donor is good for himself, the donor once asked me if there is only one road in this world, the old man said no, there are many roads in the world, but the donor can't see it, and now the old man is still this sentence." ”

The monk raised his head as he spoke, Li Xu only felt that the monk's face was very familiar, and when he wanted to see it clearly, the monk's face seemed to be coated with a layer of light, extremely dazzling, and soon disappeared in front of his eyes.

Li Xu was startled and woke up suddenly, only to find that it was just a dream.

There are many roads in the world, but the donor can't see them.

The monk's words echoed clearly in his mind.

"Childe," the guard walked into the tent, "the soldiers and horses are ready. ”

Li Xu got up and put on his armor: "After going north, bypass Bei'an and go to Baiquan, where you can intercept Song Chengxuan's soldiers and horses." ”

This was his most important battle with Song Chengxuan.
