That night, the moonlight was cold, and Li Jiqian sat alone in the tent looking up at the stars. Tonight's starry sky may be no different from the past in the eyes of others, but in Li Jiqian's eyes, he feels extraordinarily vast, and sighs that he is only a drop in the ocean compared to the stars.

"Chief Li." Ye Liche's deep voice sounded, and people didn't know when they had arrived at Li Jiqian's side. When Li Jiqian saw Ye Li Che coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him, let him sit beside him, and added some charcoal to the brazier in front of him, before saying, "Leader Ye Li, I don't know what you are doing when you come late at night?" ”

Ye Liche smiled awkwardly, and stopped talking a little, "Chief Li, I heard that Mrs. Zun was unfortunately killed by the Song army a few days ago, and she died at a young age, which is really pitiful. As the saying goes, 'beauty is matched with a hero', a hero like Leader Li, without a beautiful woman by his side, wants to be lonely, right? ”

Li Jiqian sighed slightly, and said with a wry smile: "I have known the Gang family for more than ten years, and I once vowed to never leave each other with a white head, how could I expect her to leave me so soon." I'm not afraid of the jokes of the Yeli chieftain, I, Li Jiqian, can't tolerate other women in my heart in this life, except for the Gang family. ”

Ye Liche's face became a little embarrassed, and he said after a while: "Leader Li, you are now the co-leader of the party, but you don't even have a son and a half daughter, who will inherit this position after you are a hundred years later?" Listen to my advice, while you are still young, you should consider the continuation of the string as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that in a few years, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it. In case there are three long and two short, and you kick your legs, the leader will have to ascend to this position, and our life will not be easy at that time. ”

Li Jiqian shook his head, "Now that the bones of the old mother and wife are not cold, and my Li Jiqian's revenge has not been avenged, how can I consider the continuation of the string?" But there is some truth in what the leader of Yeli said, I really can't cause the whole family to have no descendants for my own selfishness, otherwise what face will I have to see the dead ancestors after I die? ”

Ye Liche bowed slightly, and said, "Leader Li, if you want to continue the strings in the future, remember to tell the next one." Although my Ye Liche looks weird, my sister is quite handsome, and I am willing to dedicate it to Leader Li to tie two eternal good! In the future, lest someone chew the root of their tongue and make up a few gossips that you and I don't like to hear. ”

Li Jiqian was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and said: "I have heard for a long time that my sister Ye Lixia has the appearance of captivating the country and the city, and countless party sons and daughters have fallen for it, and they are willing to worship under her pomegranate skirt. If the leader of Yeli really intends to marry my sister to me, it is a blessing that I have cultivated for several generations of Li Jiqian, and I have thanked the leader of Yeli for his kindness! ”

Ye Li Che smiled: "Haha, I'm still afraid that Chief Li will dislike her sister's ugly appearance and refuse to agree to this family business, it seems that I am too worried." Our party members are not as strict as the Han people in mourning, as long as Leader Li is willing, I will take my sister over to marry you. ”

Li Jiqian hurriedly shook his head and said, "This matter is not possible!" ”

Ye Li Che glanced at him, "Why, don't tell this leader, you have to learn the disgusting sour fake vinegar of the Han people!" ”

Li Jiqian said: "No, it's just that now that the revenge has not been avenged, how can you rush to get married?" Let's wait to recover Yinzhou and kill Cao Guangshi, let's discuss this matter again! ”

Ye Liche nodded, got up and said, "Okay, Chief Li really values love and righteousness!" My Yeli Department is at the disposal of Chief Li at any time, as long as you give an order, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of us, we will definitely move forward! ”

Li Jiqian took a deep look and said, "Thank you Leader Yeli!" Ye Li Che hurriedly supported Li Jiqian with both hands, then turned around with a smile and walked out of the main tent, and soon the figure disappeared into the dark night.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was faintly bright.

Li Jiqian came to the stream alone, knelt in front of the graves of his mother and wife, his eyes staring at the cold tombstones, as if he saw the once vivid faces of the two again. Tears welled up in his eyes, and his voice became choked, "Mother, beloved wife, are you okay over there?" You are dying for me, but also for the entire Tuoba Department, the entire Dangxiang clan, your death is not only as heavy as Mount Tai for me, but also as heavy as Mount Tai for all the party Xiang Erlang. Now that I am no longer the leader of the Tuoba tribe that can be slaughtered by others, but I have become the co-leader of the party, and the big leader who rules all the party members, and I finally have the strength to avenge you! I, Li Jiqian, swear that if I can't kill Cao Guangshi and recover the land of Wuzhou, I will not be a man! ”

Before his words fell, he suddenly heard a shocking shout behind him, shouting "Kill Cao Guangshi and recover the land of Wuzhou!" Kill Cao Guangshi and recover the land of Wuzhou! ”

Li Jiqian hurriedly stood up, turned around and saw that many party members had gathered behind him at some point. They come from different tribes, and their statuses and martial arts levels are different, but the spirit of common hatred and hatred in their eyes is completely the same. When Li Jiqian heard their shouts, he felt that his blood was boiling and his killing intent was full.

He raised his arms and shouted: "Everyone, it is an honor for me Li Jiqian to be so trusted by everyone, and I will never disappoint your expectations!" Since you are all willing to follow me Li Jiqian, please pick up your swords and guns, and follow me back to Yin, Xia Zhuzhou, and Cao Guangshi with your hand to recover the land of Wuzhou. Let the people of the Song Dynasty know that our party's Xiang Erlang is by no means a cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, and the invaders will never return! ”

Everyone cheered in unison: "Great Leader LinkedIn!" We swear to follow the big leader to the death, and swear to defend the dignity of the party and the Xiang clan, and whoever dares to oppress our party and the Xiang clan will be bound to make him pay for his blood debts! ”

At this time, Zhang Pu, Li Ruoyun and Wan Jianfeng walked through the crowd and also came to Li Jiqian. Li Jiqian looked at Zhang Pu and said, "Brother Zhang, as the think tank of my Tuoba Department, you will command this battle." ”

Zhang Pu thought for a moment and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I think that sending troops at this time is not the best time. However, fighting is the most important thing to be vigorous, and since you are all willing to fight with the Song army, it is not impossible to fight at this time. ”

He said and looked at the four departments of Yeli, Xifeng, Fei Ting, and Xiangli, and said: "Among the four of you, the Yeli Department is the leader, and you will send troops to subdue Xiazhou, remember that it is best to win, if you don't win, don't be reluctant, and you must withdraw in time." Although the sons and daughters of our party are not greedy for life and afraid of death, after all, there are not enough people and horses, and the grain platform is limited, so we must not consume it excessively, and remember to preserve our strength. ”

Ye Liche and the other three leaders bowed down in unison and said, "Yes, obey the military order!" After that, the three of them gathered their own people, and after a short rest, they went towards the direction of Xiazhou with a fierce momentum.

Zhang Pu looked at the four divisions of Tuoba, Pochao, Mi Bao, and Fangdang, "Among the four of you, the Tuoba Department is the leader, leading the troops to subdue Yinzhou, and you can't fight either." I will always follow the army, and I will tell you about the enemy's strategy when I approach Yinzhou City. ”

Li Jiqian nodded with satisfaction, took everyone to prepare some application things, and went to Yinzhou in a hurry. Others may just want to be happy for a while, but Li Jiqian knows the significance of this battle, only by taking Yinzhou in one fell swoop can he avenge his mother and wife, can he completely stabilize his position in the Dangxiang clan, and can he play the momentum of the Dangxiang clan in one fell swoop, so that the Song army will not dare to touch the land of Wuzhou again!

Two days later, Li Jiqian led his troops to approach Yinzhou City.

Li Jiqian rode on a horse, Zhang Pu and Li Ruoyun followed left and right, Li Jichong and Li Jiyu followed closely behind, and Wan Jianfeng also rode on a thin and short horse, drinking wine while following his side. Behind a few people were the leaders of the other three divisions and two or three thousand party cavalry, and along the way, there were also three divisions of people and horses who heard the news and joined the team, for the sparsely populated party clan, such a team was definitely a huge momentum.

Yinzhou is Li Jiqian's hometown, although he left Yinzhou for only half a month, but once again led the troops back to Yinzhou, his heart couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. He looked at the team behind him, and then looked at the loess city of Yinzhou not far away, and said to Zhang Pu sideways: "Brother Zhang, it's time to tell us the next plan, right?" ”

Zhang Pu bowed his head slightly, raised his whip and pointed at Yinzhou, but before he could speak, the people behind him were already uncontrollable, and they rushed towards Yinzhou City frantically. Zhang Pu knew that his actions must have caused everyone's misunderstanding, thinking that he was going to order a strong attack on Yinzhou, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to block it.

The men and horses of the various departments of the party were originally patchwork, they had never received formal training on weekdays, and they had long been dissatisfied with the Song army, and in the moment when Zhang Pu raised his hand, they surged forward like a flood that burst the embankment, who would listen to his explanation?

Seeing this, Li Jiqian simply made a mistake, waved his hand at Li Ruoyun and the others, and also rode his horse and whip towards Yinzhou City. Zhang Pu sighed, knowing that the situation in this battle had been completely overwhelmed, so he had no choice but to follow everyone and attack Yinzhou.

Before everyone rushed to the city, the head of the city had already fired thousands of arrows, like a storm, and like flying locusts sweeping the realm, and in an instant, countless party men were hit by arrows and fell off horses. However, the party was not afraid of death, and launched a fierce attack on Yinzhou City wave after wave, even though he knew that there was only a dead end to move forward, he still rushed to charge.

Li Jiqian asked for a hard bow from the cavalry behind him, but when he saw him stretching his bow and arrow, he recognized the heavenly strings, and a sharp arrow suddenly shot at the deputy general of the Song army who commanded the defense at the head of the city. The deputy general of the Song army was bent on directing his soldiers to resist the besieging party, and he didn't care about Li Jiqian, who was far behind the brigade, and he was about to order his soldiers to cut the rope and cast a rolling log to the city, but his throat was pierced by this sharp arrow, and the whole person fell from the city.

Seeing this, all the party Xiang Erlang cheered in unison, and the offensive became more and more ferocious. Seeing that the Song army at the head of the city was about to be unable to resist, suddenly seeing the dust rising in the northeast, a Song army killed it mightily, not to mention four or five thousand people.

This army is like a tiger, a horse is like a dragon, and the person leading the team is Cao Guangshi, a general sent by the Great Song Dynasty to take over the land of Wuzhou. They rushed to the side of the party cavalry in the blink of an eye, and the party cavalry suddenly panicked, and even Li Jiqian's face instantly turned pale.

Zhang Pu looked at Cao Guangshi and sighed, "Alas, I didn't expect this person to use troops so exquisitely, even if the party and the sons and daughters acted according to the plan, they might not be able to recover Yinzhou!" ”

Cao Guangshi sneered when he saw this, and the big knife in his hand made him more and more handy, and in an instant, countless party cavalry were in different places, and flesh and blood were flying. Seeing this, the defenders at the head of the city also came to their senses, and kept firing arrows downward, and the party army immediately collapsed.

Li Jiqian hurriedly turned the horse's head, waved his hand and shouted: "Everyone, retreat!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all turned around and retreated in the direction of Dijinze one after another. Only Mi Baoler did not retreat, he saw that his men were too dead and wounded, he roared angrily, and rushed towards Cao Guangshi with a big axe. Cao Guangshi didn't care, and with a knife to calm the wind, he slashed at the top of Mi Baoler's head, and Mi Baole hurriedly swung a big axe to meet him.

The big knife collided with the giant axe, and there was a loud "dang" sound in mid-air, as if a thunderbolt sounded in the nine heavens. Both of them were strong and fierce, and for a while, the big sword and the giant axe could not hold each other, and neither of them would take half a step back.

At this time, there was only one party member left outside the city gate, and in an instant he became a live target of the Song army. Mi Rouler was holding a big axe, and he was fighting against Cao Guangshi's big knife, where could he still draw his hand to hit the arrow, and he was immediately pierced by the arrow, and died of despair, and his body fell from the horse.

With a swing of his sword, Cao Guangshi cut off Mikloel's head and held it high in the air to show his bravery. Yinzhou City suddenly thundered with joy, everyone's faces were filled with the joy of victory, they looked in the direction of Di Jinze, their eyes were full of contempt and disdain, it seemed that the eight departments of the party were a group of people who interposed bids and sold their heads in their eyes.

Li Jiqian took the remnants of the defeated army and fled westward in a panic, but fortunately there was no ambush on the road, so the whole army was not annihilated. The high fighting spirit before everyone set off is gone, and everyone is as depressed as a frosted eggplant, and there is no longer the fighting spirit of the past.
