The county seat of Dongping is very small, because there are always Japanese people landing on the shore to make trouble, so there are very few local residents, if it is not for the Daiyue garrison and the daily use of the garrison, this city can not be established at all, maybe it is just a small mountain village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info If there is a great chaos today, and the garrisons cannot receive the money from the court, they have already scattered home, and the city is becoming more and more desolate.

Therefore, the Rong Qiang wolf cavalry led by Liu Quan occupied the county seat without any effort.

To Qingqiu's surprise, the Rong Qiang Wolf Cavalry has always been known for its ferocity, but I don't know if it was Liu Quan's command of the troops, or Huang Jidu's strict orders, these soldiers were honest and deviant after entering the city. The only remaining people in the city originally had the intention of dying, but when they saw that they had done nothing wrong with them, they gradually recognized the identity of the other party—in any case, these people were always better than the Japanese who did all kinds of evil.

The people in the county government were all evacuated as early as a month ago, and now the empty back hall of the yamen is the temporary "home" of Liu Quan and Liu Tingting.

For three days in a row, Qingqiu saw Liu Quan dispatching troops in the yamen, and it seemed that he had no intention of leaving Dongping County, and he didn't feel a little strange: the city wall of Dongping County was short and crippled, if he really planned to turn his face against Xinghou, he should not use this place as a stronghold, in comparison, Qianmo City, which was hundreds of miles away, was an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

However, every time she wanted to ask, she remembered what Liu Quan told her above Daiyue. He once said that he would do many unreasonable things, and this was one of them. And what made Qingqiu even more puzzled was that after all, Liu Quan and Xing Hou were standing together on the surface, although they were tense in private, but in order to put all this on the bright side, there must be a great opportunity, what kind of thing would it be, so that the people who were very deep in the two cities could no longer hide the hidden turbulent waves.

Liu Quan should not be stupid enough to directly send troops to attack Xing Hou, but if this is not the case, it is difficult for Qingqiu to guess any other way - not to mention, Liu Quan's actions are already unexpected, he is a businessman, and he will never do unprofitable business.

Qingqiu spent the first few days in Dongping County in speculation, but unexpectedly the "opportunity" did not come from Dongping County, but from the far northwest of Lidu.

This news was like a thunderclap in the flat ground, which caught everyone off guard!

It is rumored that the fire broke out in the former residence of Liuquan in Lidu for no reason, and after everyone put out the fire, they found that a secret room appeared under the wooden base. The items stored in the secret room are all items left behind by the ancestors of the Liu family, and the most important of them is the suicide note of Liu Lao Situ, who was exiled here.

The suicide note is not so much a suicide note, but rather a letter of repentance, which records in detail the past events of the second prince Tuogu after the battle for the heir, and more details indicate that Liu Lao Situ finally had a private thought, and refused to replace the son of the second prince with his own child. This suicide note pointed out that Liu Quan's life experience was not after the royal family, and at the same time confirmed that Han Feng was indeed the widow of the second prince.

The truth is revealed.

When the news reached Dongping County, it was half a month after the fire. At this moment, Xing Hou led the troops to the west of Liuquan, and he received the news that it should be two or three days in advance.

Qingqiu's eyes almost showed Xing Hou's annoyed and angry appearance - Xing Hou thought very highly of himself, and he must have been mad with anger after being deceived by Liu Quan for so many years. In addition to losing face, the most important thing is that Xing Hou raised troops only because of this change, and suddenly became unjustifiable, if he continued to use the banner of Liu Quan, he would inevitably become the target of the public first, and he originally wanted to support the descendants of the second prince, so he had to pretend to be Han Feng first-no matter how ambitious Xing Hou was, in this way, Han Feng would have one less enemy and one more help.

Liu Quan really didn't do anything that had no interests, but in this transaction, he used his net worth and life to exchange Han Feng's huge turning point in the situation in the world. Since then, there is no distinction between the Western Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty, the two are combined into one, and Han Feng is approaching the imperial capital at this time, if he can win, then from now on, at least half of the north of the great river will be his.

When Qingqiu hurried to the study room of the Yahou Hall in Dongping County, he saw that Liu Quan happened to teach Liu Tingting to read and write.

Seeing Qingqiu rushing in angrily, Liu Quan touched Liu Tingting's head and said, "I have something to say to your Aunt Qiu, you can go out and play by yourself for a while." ”

Liu Tingting was very well-behaved, nodded, and ran out of the door with her skirt.

Qingqiu turned his head and closed the door of the study, and just as he wanted to ask a question, he heard Liu Quan smile and said, "I heard that the shaman's holy woman should be moody, why did she lose her temper so much today?

Qingqiu realized that he was a little out of shape, and secretly took a breath before he said: "It's come to this point, I know that nothing I can say can change the current situation, but I don't understand, why?

Liu Quan said: "There are naturally many methods, but this method is the most simple and feasible, and it is also the most profitable. ”

"Benefited?" Qingqiu could barely hold back her anger, "What do you think of yourself, and what do you do with Tingting?" The army is overwhelmed, the sword and gun have no eyes, and there will be no eggs under the nest when the time comes, she is such a weak child, you send her to the tip of the knife!"

Liu Quan said: "Naturally not. With that, he stood up and said, "Come with me, I have something for you." ”

This study is not small, Liu Quan turned a screen behind him, and there was a small bed, which was thought to be used by the previous master to read and rest. He half-squatted at the foot of the bed, pressed twice on the ground, and only heard the sound of "quack" machinery, and a secret passage appeared under the bed. Qingqiu stood in front of the entrance of the dark passage, only to feel a cold wind blowing from the dark passage, with a slight earthiness, showing that this dark passage was open to the outside, and it was newly dug.

"You...... Are you going to run away with Tingting?" Qingqiu asked.

"Not me. Liu Quan corrected, "It was you who escaped with Tingting." Originally, if you didn't come to me, I would also go to you, and I didn't worry about entrusting this matter to others except you. This secret passage leads directly to the foot of Daiyue Mountain, which I have asked those dead soldiers to do these days. In short, as long as Xing Hou is alone, you will flee and flee, and he will not search very carefully. ”

Hearing that he planned for Liu Tingting, Qingqiu's anger had all disappeared, but in the end, he couldn't help but be anxious: "Do you really plan to die in the hands of Xing Hou?

Liu Quan shook his head and said, "No...... I can't go. It was all planned from the beginning, and I couldn't go. If I leave, Xing Hou will have to leave it to Han Feng to deal with, he has a hard time dealing with Manghou and King Yue, Xing Hou is not a help for him, but a drag. ”

Qingqiu said: "But you have few soldiers and little food here, if you want to deal with the soldiers of Pingsha City, wouldn't you hit a stone with an egg?"

At this time, Liu Quan's face showed his usual smugness: "That's not necessarily, with a mind or not, he is in the light, we are in the dark, and I have already taken the lead." Besides, do you know why I didn't choose Qianmo City, but chose this small Dongping County?"

Qingqiu shook his head slightly, no matter what he thought, it was difficult for Liu Quan's soldiers to gain an advantage in the battle with Xing Hou, let alone eliminate Xing Hou.

Liu Quan smiled: "Qingqiu, look, this is the difference between you and us. If you think about the terrain and the composition of the soldiers in Pingsha City, you will understand. ”

Qingqiu was thought about by him, and slowly sorted out his thoughts: Qianmo City is surrounded by plains and is located in a vast area, while the mountains near Dongping County are undulating, and only the county seat is a small plain. To the west of the county seat are two almost opposite hills, which just form a gourd mouth, which is easy to enter and difficult to exit. Here, although it was extremely unfavorable to Liuquan, most of Xinghou's army was infantry, and only a few were cavalry, and if they were followed by a group of cavalry to sneak up - especially if this group of cavalry was a notoriously ferocious wolf horseman, and then rushed down the gentle slope from the hill, it would be able to crush Xinghou's army like a rolling flood.

But Liu Quan didn't have so many wolf horses in his hands, and as far as Qingqiu knew, Huang Jidu didn't send troops when Xing Hou sent troops, and even if he thought about it at this time, it was too late.

After listening to Qingqiu's analysis, Liu Quan said: "That's pretty much the truth. However, Huang Ji will not send troops directly, and I don't plan to ask him to directly confront Xing Hou, after all, his wife is Xing Hou's sister, and there is always an in-law relationship no matter what. He borrowed these soldiers from me for me to use, which was already a bit sorry for him, not to mention, when it came to cavalry, we already had a better choice. ”

"A better choice?" Kiyoaki's eyes lit up, "You mean Pegasus." ”

Liu Quan bowed: "Princess Mingxi is taking Tianma to prepare in the southwest, and I have already sent someone to make it clear to her." Heh, I'm afraid Xing Piao himself couldn't have imagined that Han Feng would give him a fatal blow here. The news that is unfavorable to me comes from Lidu, Lidu is now under the jurisdiction of the Western Dynasty, and everyone thinks that Han Feng and I have turned their faces again, and the two of us have fought and made peace over the years, true or false, I'm afraid no one can think clearly, and who can guess that in fact, this is a joint move?"

Hearing him talk about leaving the capital, Qingqiu's heart moved, and he suddenly realized: "When you went to the Western Dynasty to negotiate and finally cede the capital to the Western Dynasty, did you already think of today's step?"

Liu Quan smiled and said, "Guess." ”
