"Huh?"

Li Qiao was shocked for a moment, and hurriedly looked in the direction he pointed.

Squinted his eyes and looked at it, confirming that it was Qian San who came, he hurriedly walked towards Qian San, and did not forget to explain to Li Man: "Write down the names of these little brothers, as well as the dishes they want to eat." ”

Several little soldiers were immediately moved when they heard this, Lord Li made a promise!

Li Qian soon came to Qian San, Qian San was a fourth-grade official, and his grade was one level higher than Qian San, but in the face of Qian San, his attitude was as respectful as before.

"Mr. Qian, why did you come to the border city in person? Does the Holy One have something important to command? He acted as if he didn't know he hadn't heard anything.

"Lord Xiao Li, our family is on the order of the Holy One to escort you back to Beijing. When the saint received a report from the guards of Guanbao and learned that the Hu people were besieging the city, he was immediately anxious. He went to find the old man of the Emperor Taishang, borrowed 400 guards from the Taishang Emperor, and added his own 300 guards, and he asked our family to lead 700 guards to the border city to rescue. ”

"Later, although I received a report from Master Chang and learned that you were safe, he still asked our family to rush to escort you back to Beijing, lest you have an accident."

"Lord Xiao Li, the Holy Lord is very worried about you, let's leave for Beijing, right?"

Qian San looked at Li Qian carefully and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that he was in good condition.

Just now, when Qian San explained his intention to Chang Wuchang, he didn't elaborate on what happened, but now Li Qian was greatly moved after listening to Qian San's words.

With a warm heart in his heart, he arched his hand in the direction of Shengjing: "Lao Shengshang is worried, Li Qiao is afraid, I am too reckless on this trip, and I will definitely ask the saint for my guilt after returning to Beijing." ”

His refusal to return to the barracks while standing in the city tower will not only scare Chang Wuchang, but will definitely scare Sheng Hong.

"However, the manager of you must be tired at this time, why don't we stay in the city for one night before leaving?"

He was embarrassed to bother with money and run three times.

At this time, Qian San's face was dusty, his white face was blown red by the wind, and he was obviously tired.

"Oh, Lord Xiaoli, you can't live, our family can hold it, let's leave the border city first. If you want to rest, let's go to Guanbao or other post stations to rest. ”

Qian San immediately shook his head.

Chang Wuchang also helped on the side: "That is, Brother Li, if you really care about Manager Qian, then set off at this moment, and then let Manager Qian and his party rest well when they are in a safe place." ”

Li Qiao: "......"

He took a deep breath and looked back at the gourd river that had been frozen with a thick layer of ice, the parting came so quickly, he couldn't consume more Hu people.

Retracting his gaze, he pointed to a few small soldiers not far behind him: "I promised those little brothers to invite them to eat pig-killing vegetables, roast whole sheep, and milk bread." My lord, if the Hu people attack, I hope you can let a few of them take care of the logistics, and then let them go to the battlefield after eating the delicious food I invited. ”

Chang Wuchang raised his eyes when he heard this, and then immediately nodded: "Good brother, leave such a trivial matter to me, I will definitely do what you say." ”

"Okay, then I'll leave now, and a few of them will go back to the post station to pack my luggage."

Li Qiao said and walked towards the north gate, preparing to enter the city.

Chang Wuchang was overjoyed, and immediately laughed: "No problem, I will personally accompany Li Man to the post station!" ”

Qian San also smiled: "That's right, let's take a step forward and rest when we get to a safe place." Lord Xiao Li, don't worry about the border city, the Holy Lord has already sent reinforcements over, if the Hu people come again, it will definitely not be beneficial. ”

"That's good."

When Li Qiao heard this, she was slightly relieved.

But he still remembered that he wanted to invite the soldiers of the border city to drink wine and eat meat, the border city did not have so many supplies, he discussed with Chang Wuchang as he walked, he and Chang Wuchang each contributed half of the silver, and purchased pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and other domestic animals and wine nearby, so that the soldiers could eat delicious food as soon as possible.

In addition, he promised a reward of ten taels of silver per person, and when he returned to Shengjing, he would have people send it over quickly.

There are also those disabled wounded in the wounded room, and when he returns to Beijing, he will show the saint, and he will arrange it if he can.

These are all things that Chang Wuxing cares about, and Chang Wuchang is reluctant to accompany Li Qiao into the city.

Although Brother Li gave him a lot of frightens by relying on Yigao, I have to say that Brother Li is a sincere and practical person.

He is also a person who can bring good luck.

In the past, every time he fought with the Hu people, he fought bitterly, not only was he tired and bleeding, but his brothers would also suffer casualties.

But as soon as Brother Li came this time, hey, this battle can be successfully recorded in the history of Dasheng!

Such a good brother Li, if you say goodbye today, I don't know when I will want to see you again.

Li Qiao entered the north gate, the horses were ready, and the seven hundred guards were ready to set off at any time.

Li Qiao also stepped on the horse, he looked at Chang Wuchang, and he was reluctant in his heart, this trip to the border city was very short, and he still had a lot to do.

But the emperor's order is difficult to disobey.

"Lord Chang, take care." No matter how many words there are, they can only be reduced to these few words.

"Brother Li, take care too." If you are always impermanent, you can only turn it into these simple words.

Li Qiao smiled when she heard this, arched her hand towards him, and then raised the horsewhip in her hand and looked at Qian San: "Manager Qian, let's go back to Beijing." ”

"I'll go back to Beijing."

Qian San said goodbye to Chang Wuchang, and then waved his horsewhip and headed for the north gate.

Seven hundred guards followed, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, spreading far away.

When passing by the place where Gao Zhiyuan lived, Li Qiao glanced in that direction, and couldn't help but regret it in his heart.

Before he could decide whether to kill Gao Zhiyuan, he hurried back to Beijing.

However, the border city will not be sealed forever, and when the Hu people stop after the beginning of spring, martial law will definitely be lifted, and Gao Zhiyuan will definitely return to Shengjing at that time.

Let's wait for Gao Zhiyuan to return to Shengjing!

Li Qiao and Qian San quickly went out of the border city, and passed the big respect, the young general Qi Shuang was still on duty today, Qi Shuang also looked at Li Qiao with a reluctant face, the arrival of Lord Li brought a lot of fresh life to the solemn border city.

Li Qian reined in his horse and bent down to look at Qi Shuang: "Captain Qi, now you count the delicacies that you and your brothers want to taste, and my guard Li Man will come over later, you give him the statistical results, and General Chang and I will invite the big guys to eat meat and drink wine." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Shuang's eyes opened in an instant, and then he was immediately moved.

Lord Li is going back to Shengjing, and he still remembers such a trivial matter, woo woo woo Lord Li is so good!

And after Li Qiao finished explaining, he hurriedly left with a whip.

Qian Sanyi's gang didn't close their eyes for a day and a night, and when they arrived at the Guanbao Station, he asked everyone to repair and then return to Beijing.

However, when they really arrived at Guanbao, Qian San and the others were unwilling to rest.

Now the saint is still worried about Lord Xiao Li, hurry back as soon as possible and feel at ease as soon as possible.

So Li Qiao could only continue to hurry.

It wasn't until he met a post station in the middle of the night that he said he was tired and couldn't hold on, so everyone stopped to rest.

After resting for a few hours, he hurried away, and a day later, he returned to Shengjing.

By this time it was already late at night.

But he still entered the palace with Qian San to return to Sheng Hong.

The hall is brightly lit, and Sheng Hong has indeed not stopped.

Before, he received a report from the general of Guanbao that he transferred the Red Turban Army from the northern provinces of Jibei Province to the border city to support, which was just an expedient measure.

With this transfer, the northern part of Jibei Province was empty, and Shengjing had no protection.

Although it is very unlikely that the Hu people have beaten Dajingmen, the border city is so close to Shengjing, if the Hu people are quick to whip up, they will be able to come to the city one day.

Inappropriate.

This is not the case.

If you want to support the border cities for a long time, you have to transfer troops from other places.

Therefore, even if he hadn't returned to the dormitory to rest late at night, he was still studying where to transfer troops.

However, when he learned that Li Qiao was back, he hurriedly put down the map of the layout of the troops in various places in his hand that he was dizzy and asked Li Qiao to enter the hall quickly.

A moment later, Li Qiao entered the hall.

Although his face is a little haggard, his facial features are delicate, his back is straight, he strides meteors, and he walks with the wind, it is his Li Aiqing.

The intact Li Aiqing.

He stood up with his hands on the imperial case, and looked happy: "Li Aiqing, you are finally back." ”

"Thank you for sending the money manager to the border city to escort Weichen back to Beijing, the saint is gracious, and Weichen will never forget."

Li Qiao walked quickly to the imperial case, lifted the hem of her clothes and knelt down, with gratitude and excitement on her face.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

Sheng Hong hurriedly walked out from behind the imperial case, he bent down to help Li Qiao get up: "You are trapped in the border city, I naturally have to send someone to rescue, you are the important minister of the country, and the entire border city together is not as important as you alone." ”

“…… Wechen was terrified. ”

Li Qiao was really a little frightened at this moment, and her eyes widened a little.

"Don't be afraid, what I'm saying is true."

Sheng Hong patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then looked at Qian San behind him: "Give me a seat for tea, I want to have a good chat with Li Aiqing about this trip to the border city." ”

"Shengshang, the trip to the border city can't be finished in a few words, at this time in the middle of the night, your dragon body is important, Weichen will make a long story short, only talk about the battle between us and the Hu people, how about it?"

Li Qiao looked at the bloodshot in Sheng Hong's eyes and couldn't help but say.

"Well......" Sheng Hong thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, you have been tired all the way, and you must be tired at this time, so let's make a long story short." ”

It's not that he doesn't want to let Li Aiqing go back to his house to rest, it's that he wants to know too much about the details of the battle a few days ago.

Dasheng actually fought such a smooth battle, every time he thought about it in the past few days, no matter what he was doing at the time, his mood could instantly soar.

So Li Qiao sat down, the little palace maid served tea and snacks, and Li Qiao first ate two pieces of dim sum to cushion her stomach, and then talked about the course of the battle.

First of all, we have to start with the soldiers' fishing.

Why did the ice in the gourd river crack, he and Chang Wuchang made a lot of guesses afterwards, but after pondering and pondering, they didn't figure out why.

The only explanation is that the weather is warmer after the New Year, and the soldiers are fishing, so the ice in front of the north gate is not as solid as in other places.

Of course, the more superstitious argument is that God has made a move.

But no matter what the reason, the Hu people did fall into the river anyway, and Chang Wuchang just went to the Hulu River to look at the corpses afterwards, and did not send someone to salvage the corpses.

The river is so cold, what are you doing with all that effort?

At that time, the soldiers were busy picking up used objects such as rolling wood, stones, arrows, etc., and they had no time to fish up the corpses in the river.

However, Chang Wuchang also briefly counted the number of corpses in the river, which was about 2,000 people.
