Chapter 141: Retreat to the Border

As soon as Qiantai sent Wufang away, Qianming, Qin Tieshu, and Shi Lang opened their tents in Qiantai.

This time, Qianming brought a total of 10,000 tiger horsemen from the county, which was the total number of Qiantai's army. Five thousand people were left in Yongnu County by Qianming in case of emergency, and the remaining 5,000 people had been brought to the border military camp here.

When the three of them saw Qiantai, they all looked bad and were worried about Liu Boxi's abduction.

Qiantai asked Shi Lang: "How is the army recovering now?"

"Master Hou, the 50,000 troops we went to Shanggu County this time were killed in this battle, and more than 6,000 people were remnant. In addition, more than 5,000 wounded are still recovering and can continue to serve in the army after their injuries are healed. More than 12,000 people were killed or wounded. Among them, the Faith soldiers suffered the greatest losses, with 5,000 dead and 2,000 wounded, while the Jinjia Army suffered 2,000 dead but 3,000. Although we are not injured, we still need time to recover. ”

Qiantai nodded heavily and said: "Everyone can see that we and Yuan Shao will not start a big war in the near future, and the next thing is to negotiate around Boxi's rescue, the army should recover quickly, Yuan Shao will not simply let Boxi go, if we want to rescue him, I estimate that there will be a big battle to divide the difference between victory and defeat, and Yuan Shao will not be able to give in and let go." ”

Qiantai said: "If you die in battle, you will have a reward, and your family will be exempted from paying taxes for three years, and the county will not be short of these money." ”

"Yes, sir. Shi Lang nodded.

Well, Qiantai thought about it and said to a few people: "The matter of Boxi's arrest must be hidden from Mrs. Liu for the time being, you go down and let people not talk nonsense, the border is far away from the county, and Mrs. Liu can't know what is going on here." Don't let Mrs. Liu worry until Boxi is rescued by us. Qiantai instructed slowly.

When everyone heard this, they nodded yes again.

Qian Ming asked on the side: "Brother, how can we ask Yuan Shao to release people?"

Qiantai sighed and said: "I thought about this matter all night last night, and we can only send someone to test Yuan Shao's tone of this liao first. However, if Yuan Shao dared to hurt Boxi, he wouldn't mind letting the old demon and the demon general Yan Du go to him, and under Yuan Shao's rule, he would also kill some officials and start killing. "Yuan Shao has a group of monks around him at any time to protect and assassinate, but if Yuan Shao dares to kill, Qiantai will not mind breaking the unspoken rules of both sides, and there are external forces that will also destroy and attack the bureaucrats under Yuan Shao's rule. Therefore, Qiantai was not worried that Yuan Shao would dare to kill Liu Boxi, because this child must have known the importance of Liu Boxi's official position in Zhuo County to Zhuo County.

Everyone felt their blood boiling when they heard this, this is the backbone of the Lord, and when these hard-working courtiers are in danger, they will not be abandoned. Let Shi Lang and others be more loyal in their hearts.

At noon, Qiantai sent people to Shanggu County to talk to Yuan Shao, and the civil officials transferred from the county's 'Tongwen Pavilion' set off from the barracks to Shanggu County.

In the afternoon, Qiantai took people to look after the wounded in the army again and participated in training with the soldiers.

At night, the doppelganger Yan Du returned from the battlefield of Shanggu County, and this time the doppelganger Yan Du collected nearly 50,000 battle spirits on the northern battlefield, all of which were transformed by the soldiers who died in the previous battle between the two sides. With these battle spirits, it is enough for Qiantai to slowly use the power of faith to refine and study the refining of the 'Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals' in his previous life.

Moreover, the right hand of the doppelganger Yan Du's 'Death Scythe' is also supernatural. In front of Qiantai, the doppelganger Yan Du showed that the sickle in his right hand seemed to be real, the blade flickered with cold light, exuding a cold and cold aura of ending Xiao Killing, how to look at it, it was a real scissors, not an illusory supernatural power turned into divine power. Even, Qiantai could see that the scythe in the hand of the doppelganger Yan Du at this time was enough to cut off the body, harvest the souls of living beings, and end everything.

In the middle of the night, Qiantai and the doppelganger Yan Du sat opposite each other in the tent, feeling their respective mana powers, which were different from their previous lives and had more potential. The two seem to see that with their current plans, their future achievements will slowly surpass those of their previous lives, making them laugh not only in the military tent.

The next day, the civil officials sent by Qiantai to Shanggu County had not yet seen Yuan Shao, and an old Confucian with a rather prestigious position in Youzhou came outside the barracks, who was entrusted by Yuan Shao to come to reconcile the dispute between Zhuojun and Yuan Shao.

Lao Confucianism is very famous in the Confucian forest in Youzhou, and has taught a few people, such as Qufu and Xuegong, and has been a guest of several families in the north.

When the people arrived at the border barracks, they relied on the old and sold the old, only saying that there were thousands of Li people in the north and wanted to persuade Qiantai not to provoke the disaster of war again. He also said that he was entrusted by Yuan Shao, the warden of Liaodong County, to reconcile. Also Qiantai let go of the border of Zhuo County and let Yuan Shao lead the army south to King Qin to avenge the imperial court.

It's a pity that Qiantai didn't summon this self-righteous stubborn sour Confucian all day, like this kind of person Qiantai had seen a lot in his previous life, and it was difficult to say that this person was just a chess piece borrowed by Yuan Shao'er. directly handed over this person to Qin Tieshu, a soldier, to entertain, and he didn't see it, which made the old Confucian's nose crooked.

At night, Lao Ru was very dissatisfied in Qin Tieshu's military tent and said: "You Zhuojun soldiers are so rude, don't you know benevolence and righteousness if you raise troops on the border like this!"

It's a pity that Xiucai met the soldiers, Qin Tieshu was just responsible for taking care of this old Confucian and not making trouble in the army, as for what he said, Qin Tieshu didn't care about it. In the camp tent, Qin Tieshu had an attitude of doing his own thing, and at the end of the day, he had enough of this old Confucian. Not only did he say in front of Qin Tieshu: "Jixian is like this, there is really no virtue of the imperial court. ”

This insulted Qiantai.

Qin Tieshu said angrily to the old Confucian: "I heard my lord say that most of the ancient sages cultivated benevolence and virtue, and most of them lived a long life and were admired. ”

When the old Confucian heard this, he immediately looked at the deep affection that you are not completely incorrigible, nodded and began to discuss with Qin Tieshu, and said: "Of course, the ancient sages cultivated benevolence and loved the people, so they were naturally blessed by humanity. ”

"My lord said that the Holy Emperor also led the battle for the unification of the human race, on the contrary, it was just that the saint did not like to be famous, and he didn't care about idle things, so he was over 100 years old. Qin Tieshu glanced at him and said mockingly.

"You~!" the old man pointed at Qin Tieshu tremblingly.

Qin Tieshu turned his head and left, going to live in other places in the barracks.

One night passed, as soon as the day dawned, the old Confucian really couldn't stand the anger in the army, and fled alone in embarrassment, unwilling to take care of this idle matter anymore, and called Jixian Hou Confucianism unteachable.

Lao Confucian adjusted Qiantai did not accept it at all, on the contrary, after Lao Confucian left, in the morning Qiantai sent people to Shanggu County to see Yuan Shao, and directly threatened Yuan Shao, if he dared to touch his Houfu and court official Liu Boxi, he Qiantai would not mind sending monks to Shanggu, Liaoxi and other places to kill some officials who had aided in the previous war.

Anyway, in the matter of Liu Boxi, although Yuan Shao took the initiative, Qiantai also occupied the righteousness, after all, the previous war was provoked by Yuan Shao. To dare to kill Liu Boxi is to kill the officials of Zhuo County and murder Xianliang.

Another day passed, and the civil official who went to see Yuan Shao returned, saying that Yuan Shao wanted Qiantai to assign Yongnu County of Zhuo County to the territory of Shanggu County, and then he would release Liu Boxi.

Yongnu County is one of the nine counties of Zhuo County, and it is the northernmost county of Zhuo County, which is an important place for Qiantai to support behind the border, and there are many military grain and grass stored.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and Yuan Shao had no intention of peace talks, and the border was tense again for a while, because of Liu Boxi, there was a big situation of another big war.

After these days of recuperation, the military camp in Qiantai has almost been repaired, and most of the previously injured soldiers have recovered under the treatment of Miaozhu in the army.

Qiantai ordered Qianming to transfer troops to prepare for the big battle, while he himself began to retreat and practice in the camp tent.

In the following days, Qianming was ordered to transfer another 20,000 garrisons and 10,000 faith soldiers from the county, and the border military camp of Zhuo County expanded rapidly, with an army of 5,000 tigers, 30,000 gold armor troops, 30,000 faith soldiers and 20,000 ordinary garrison troops. A total of more than 85,000 people, this is already most of the army that Qiantai can come up with, and Qiantai is ready to take the opportunity to go down to Shanggu County, and completely use Liu Boxi's reason to fight with Yuan Shao Shanggu County.

At the same time, the people of Upper Valley County are also overcast, and the people are panicking, and the victims of Upper Valley County know that the two great men in the sky are going to fight again, and they don't know who will win this time, and who will save them who are suffering in the frost.

There are secret reports that Yuan Shao has now imprisoned Liu Boxi in Juyong County, and personally sat in the town, and transferred 80,000 troops from the same two places in western and eastern Liaoning, plus there are now more than 40,000 garrisons in Juyong County, Shanggu County, which has reached 120,000 at once. In addition, Yuan Shao also ignored the disaster and forcibly seconded the collection of military rations from Daijun and Youbeiping, and was also ready to go south to extinguish the 80,000 army of Qiantai. Yuan Shao also invited a demon cultivator from Daijun to confront the monks on Qiantai's side.
