"Why did the marshal let go of this Dai Quan?" Gao Yao looked at Xuan Qi with some puzzlement, not knowing why Xuan Qi was completely different from Dai Quan when facing the Huns. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The Huns were brutal, and everywhere they passed, they were all thousands of miles of red land, and there was no grass. Do you see the difference in this Lu'an?"

Gao Yao nodded and said, "The last general has somewhat understood what the marshal meant! Since entering the territory of Lu'an, the places he has passed have been full of people coming and going, not like a place that has been conquered and killed. It seems that this Dai Quan is a little different!"

Dai Quan turned back to Lu'an City, but in half an hour, he had already come out of the city with the defenders, avoiding the Xuanqi army far away, and went east to Dai who went to Luzhou.

Lu'an is located in the Jianghuai River, backed by Dabie Mountain, hanging Wuyue in the east, controlling Jingchu in the west, connecting the Central Plains in the north, and reaching the north bank of the Yangtze River in the south. Xuan Qi took Lu'an, intending to use it as a base camp to expel foreign criminals. Now, Dongke can attack Luzhou and control the Jianghuai Rush. If you go south, you can take the Lujiang River directly, and the soldiers will come to Chizhou.

After thinking about it, Xuan Qi still decided to go south, occupy the area south of Chaohu Lake first, and open up the passage for Li Xing's army to go north. After leaving an army of 50,000 and telling Gao Yao to stick to Lu'an, Xuan Qi led an army of 150,000 and headed south in the starry night, hoping to open up the north-south passage as much as possible before the midwinter came.

At this time, Helian Yinshan was stopped outside Qizhou City for more than half a month by Yuwen Hu. The obstruction of Qishui and hills and mountains made it difficult for Helian Yinshan to spread his fists and feet, and he was depressed.

Li Min, the king of Hong, after receiving Xuanqi's order, personally led an army of 200,000 to cross the river to the north, marched east along Huangmei and Susong, and forced Taihu County. Li Xing's 300,000-strong army was already in the area north of Huangshan Mountain, ready to cross the river and go north at any time.

The 200,000 troops of Li Min, King Hong, with the cooperation of Yuwenhu's 100,000 cavalry, quickly took the county seat of Taihu Lake. At this time, Xuanqi had also taken Lujiang County and besieged Tongcheng. The defender of Tongcheng is Duan Sirui, the general of the Celestial Empire, who heard that Xuanqi led the army to come, took his own soldiers, abandoned the city and fled into the Dabie Mountains, but he didn't know where to go. The defenders of Tongcheng opened the city gate to welcome the Xuanqi army into the city.

After resting in Tongcheng for a night, Xuanqi's army approached Shuzhou, and in the afternoon it joined the army of Li Min, the king of Hong, and besieged Shuzhou. Shuzhou guard Hao Wenshan closed the four doors while urgently asking for help from Dai Jin in Luzhou. At the same time, Li Xing's army also began to cross the Yangtze River north and besiege Shuzhou.

Shuzhou City, which had only 30,000 horses, could not withstand the siege of 700,000 troops day and night, and after holding out for two days, it was finally broken. Ignoring Li Xing's opposition, Xuan Qi ordered more than 10,000 recalcitrant Bohai captives to be captivated and all of them beheaded. Even Li Min, the king of Hong, couldn't help but be a little shocked when he saw it, and secretly thought that he was worthy of being called a "butcher" by the Huns, so decisive.

With an army of 200,000, Dai Jin, who was attacking the Lujiang River, heard that the city of Shuzhou was broken, and more than 10,000 captives were lost in the hands of Xuanqi, and he couldn't help but feel terrified. Thinking of his younger brother Dai Quan, who left Lu'an unscathed, and was scolded by himself for a while, Dai Jin couldn't help but shudder.

The Lujiang garrison saw that the county seat was about to be captured, but Dai Jin suddenly withdrew his troops, and he couldn't help but be puzzled. Seeing that Dai Jin not only collected his troops, but also began to pull out the camp and head towards Luzhou, the Lujiang guards were even more stunned.

Shuzhou was taken, and a north-south passage was completed. Xuan Qi returned to Lu'an with the army and handed over the rest of the matter to Li Xing.

With the first snow since the beginning of winter, all parties stopped attacking each other as if they had agreed. Helian Yinshan also stopped attacking Qizhou, and the army retreated to Jiangcheng, waiting for the winter to pass.

On Jiuqu Creek, the water of the stream is crystal clear, and there is a person in the distance, and the white clothes are fluttering, but it is Xuanqi. The penny lightly touches the stream, and the bamboo raft shuttles briskly in the mountain stream, and it is already far away to see the twin peaks looking at each other, like lovers looking at each other across the stream, affectionate.

The penny was inserted into the bottom of the stream, and the bamboo raft was fixed, and Xuan Qi lightly touched the bamboo raft and jumped to the shore. After three turns and two turns, a mirror-like waterhole comes into view, according to legend, this is the place where the jade girl bathes, and there is a beautiful name Yuxiangtan. Xuan Qi walked forward along the Yuxiang Pond, and suddenly there were a few wind sounds, Xuan Qi hurriedly leaned back, patted his hands lightly on the ground, and stood up again. A few verdant bamboo branches shot into the ground not far behind him, making a popping sound.

The sound of breaking the air sounded again, but it was four or five stones shooting towards Xuanqi in three ways: upper, middle and lower. Xuan Qi stood in place, motionless, and when the stone arrived in front of him, his body suddenly swayed from side to side like a willow in the wind. A few stones whizzed past only two or three minutes away from Xuan Qi's body, and disappeared into the grass.

More than a dozen stones were shot in the air, but Xuan Qi no longer dodged, his true qi was running, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, and his palms were slapped out at the same time. The volley of stones seemed to have hit something, and it was slightly suffocated, and its speed had slowed down. Xuan Qi's palms slapped out eighteen palms in a row, and the agitated true qi suddenly made the stones that shot stop in the air, and they were actually suspended between Xuan Qi's hands.

"Xiaoyou hasn't seen you for many years, and your kung fu is becoming more and more refined!

The gray-clothed old man's toes continued to move at the top of the tree, heading towards the Jade Maiden Peak like an arrow. Xuan Qi was behind him, and in the hearty laughter, he had already risen into the air and landed on the canopy, "The seniors are invited, and the kid dares to disobey his fate?"

The two of them went one after the other, and in an instant, they had already run dozens of feet away and arrived at the foot of the Jade Girl Peak. The old man in gray poured his feet with internal force, and the branches under his feet sank, and he was already soaring into the air and falling towards the cliff of Jade Girl Peak. The cliff goes straight up and down, fortunately there are many prominent rocks and trees, and the old man in gray uses his hands and feet at the same time, and he is constantly going up between the cliffs.

Xuan Qi saw that the old man in gray had gone up to the cliff, and he was not far behind, and he was even a little bit under his feet, and he also went up the cliff and climbed up. Between the two, there was always a few zhang apart, and Xuan Qi suddenly slapped his palms on a prominent mountain rock, and his body suddenly jumped upward. Without waiting for his body to fall, Xuan Qi's palms struck out alternately, and between the agitation of true qi, each palm hit the cliff. From a distance, I saw a person flying up in the sky, heading towards the peak.

In this way, Xuan Qi's speed was much faster, and he soon chased a foot behind the gray-clothed old man. The gray-clothed old man felt the sound behind him, his hands and feet quickened, and he went up, and he was only a few feet away from the peak. Two laughs came at the same time, and the two of them reached the peak at the same time, and floated hand in hand on the flat ground of the peak.
