Exploring the Malay report, Hekun's army was like a bamboo, and it had reached fifty miles outside Qingzhou City.

Xiao Limin knew that Hekun's army would no longer have any obstacles, and there would be no other cities within fifty kilometers of Qingzhou City.

Xiao Limin was also secretly surprised in his heart, although Qingzhou City lacked major generals, but this was too fast.

After thinking about it, the more Xiao Limin thought about it, the more strange it became, and he wanted to find out, so Xiao Limin called two golden guards, found three fast horses, and instructed Chen Lie to defend the city, and then went out of the city gate.

Xiao Limin is not the kind of reckless man, he went out of the city this time, firstly, to see the military appearance and military discipline of the soldiers of the White Elephant Clan, and secondly, because there are Qingzhou ambush troops hiding in the mountains along the road, Xiao Limin made a good deployment yesterday, if he was discovered by Hekun's soldiers, they could only chase after him and return defeated.

Under the moonlit night, three groups of fast horses galloped closely, and about two hours later, Xiao Limin and the three of them arrived on the hill near the camp of Hekun.

Condescendingly, Xiao Limin found that the White Elephant Clan was not as vulgar and simple as outsiders said, whether it was the camp tent or the patrol sentry, they were all well arranged, at least, there were people in the White Elephant Clan army who knew the art of war.

These two gold-armored guards, although they are martial artists, are also proficient in military formations. Xiao Limin rose up, pointed to the brightly lit White Elephant Clan's tent group at the foot of the mountain and asked, "Like this layout, is there a way to break it?"

The two guards both shook their heads heavily, and Xiao Limin asked again, "Is there really no chance of winning at all?"

The guard on the left said: "If there are another 20,000 people, maybe there is a chance, but unfortunately there are only 40,000 troops in the city, this White Elephant Clan soldier is extremely fierce, and this Chinese army has at least 30,000 people." This camp was well defended, and no matter from which direction, it could not be attacked at once, and the more it was delayed, the reinforcements behind it would arrive, but it would be surrounded. ”

Xiao Limin frowned: "That's true, this mountain seems to be very close to the place where He Kun is stationed, but it is actually very far, if you want to sneak attack from here, there is no way." It seems that the White Elephant people's plan to fight the war is very detailed, and they have a clear understanding of the geographical location and mountain appearance of our Qingzhou. “

The guard on the right also sighed: "In the past, Qingzhou City was prosperous, merchants gathered, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going, and I don't know how many secret agents and how many wolf ambitions there were. “

Xiao Limin said: "Actually, everything should go naturally, this white elephant clan is not opposed, and sooner or later it will also be a big trouble for the imperial court." My generation is still young, and if I can do something for the court, I can do something. For Duzhou, it is better to relax the strict prohibition, and I believe that Your Majesty also hopes to solve the hidden danger of hatred in Duzhou in his lifetime. “

After a quiet moment, Xiao Limin turned around and asked, "Why do you two talk so little today, I remember that the two of you used to talk the most." “

The two of them looked at each other, both of them lost their old spirits, and even a little tired.

Xiao Limin saw what they were thinking and comforted: "Don't worry, things are not so bad, and it is not a change of dynasty." ”

Xiao Limin's words made the two of them a lot easier, Xiao Limin lowered his waist and picked up a small stone at his feet and threw it down the mountain. After a while, I heard the small sound of stones falling to the ground.

Xiao Limin seemed to be very relaxed: "I often came here when I first came to Qingzhou, and the scenery here is very good, compared to the noisy main city, it is more calm." ”

The two guards behind him watched vigilantly around while quietly listening to Xiao Limin's recollections.

Xiao Limin continued: "At that time, there were really not so many things, Qingzhou was originally very rich, and the people were easy to manage. I even wanted to go to Duzhou for a while, after all, I heard that it was different from our town, but unfortunately the imperial court did not approve it. ”

"When I'm here alone, I play like that a lot. I once met an old man here who brought his grandson to the mountains to throw stones, and it was this child who taught me. As soon as this stone was thrown, it was as if all the troubles were thrown out of the clouds, for the people, they forgot the trivial matters of the neighborhood, and for me, they forgot the loneliness of leaving their homeland. ”

Xiao Limin paused and said happily: "Fortunately, I remember that the grandfather and grandson are also the people of Qingzhou City, otherwise if they suffer such a catastrophe, I don't know how to deal with it." ”

The two guards behind him were moved when they heard it, and they could hear from Xiao Limin's description that the atmosphere at that time must have been beautiful. They can also be regarded as uprooted, the same as Xiao Limin, they are all working for the imperial court, and they may have to be on this road for the rest of their lives. But without the Xiao family, without a new dynasty, where is the peace and ease of their wives and children, and where is their upright life?

Receiving and giving have always been relative, so they are particularly determined, they are the same kind of people, the pillars of this dynasty.

On the way back for Xiao Limin and the others, they met Yang Rong, who led the thirty iron-headed troops to rush over.

Xiao Limin shouted angrily: "General Yang, where are you going so late?"

Yang Rong saw that it was Xiao Limin, his nervous expression relaxed, and he bowed his head and said, "The last general is late, and I ask the general to forgive me!"

"Is it too late?" Xiao Limin asked with a smile, "Did I let you come?"

"This ......" Yang Rong didn't know how to answer for a while, just raised his head slightly, and kept looking at Xiao Limin with his spare eyes, Xiao Limin knew Yang Rong's loyalty and said: "Don't worry, you generals, I'm not stupid, aren't there still our ambushes nearby?"

"Yes. Yang Rong raised his head and grinned, Xiao Limin noticed his legs: "How are you recovering?"

"It's okay, it's just ......" Yang Rong didn't want to say, Xiao Limin forced to ask, "What's it?"

Yang Rong looked optimistic: "It's just that it hurts a little when I go to the ground." “

"Something that can hurt you, it's really serious. Xiao Limin understands Yang Rong, this person's general hardships are casual and will never shout half a word of pain.

Yang Rong was stunned and smiled: "It's still the general who understands me Yang Rong." “

Xiao Limin looked at the thirty young iron-headed soldiers behind Yang Rong and asked, "If the war starts tomorrow, do you dare to fight?"

"Dare!" The thirty people shouted in unison, even Yang Rong was startled, turned around and scolded: "Little rabbit cubs, every time the general asks, he shouts louder than at the same time. “

Xiao Limin was very satisfied, for Yang Rong, he had no more ideas except for preference. It's a pity that Yang Rong broke his leg that day, otherwise Xiao Limin let Yang Rong be a pioneer, which can reduce Chen Lie's pressure, but unfortunately, there is no perfect thing in the world.

"Let's go. Xiao Limin rode over, and the soldiers gave way and followed closely.

Under the moonlight, a group of soldiers in civilian clothes rode their horses slowly towards the main city of Qingzhou. They were enjoying the rare tranquility, and perhaps, to put it mildly, the last time they saw it.
