A group of soldiers surrounded him, and Qiu Ruxue had already said in a deep voice: "I am Qiu Ruxue, where is General Xuanyuan?" Take me to General Xuanyuan quickly. ”

The soldiers looked at each other, Qiu Ruxue frowned, and said, "Don't you understand? ”

A captain stepped forward and arched his hand: "You want to see General Xuanyuan?" "In fact, Qiu Ruxue has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, but not all the soldiers know Lu Dao, and Qiu Ruxue follows Chu Huan, and the upper officials in Xiguan are all Zhilu Dao, but not too many ordinary soldiers know it, Qiu Ruxue reported himself to his home at this time, and all the soldiers were not shocked by this name for a while, but when they heard Qiu Ruxue wanted to see Xuanyuan Shengcai, and he was full of momentum, he didn't dare to lose his proportion.

"Where is he now?"

"General Xuanyuan is in Qingtang City." The lieutenant replied: "When you arrive in Qingtang City, you can naturally see General Xuanyuan. ”

Qiu Ruxue is not verbose, this place is already very close to Qingtang City, shaking the reins of the horse, urging the horse to go, King Qi and others immediately followed, all the soldiers looked at each other, and the captain finally couldn't help but say: "Should we let them go?" ”

There was a soldier beside him who said: "It's just three or four people, and there is a woman, I'm afraid that if you really want to find General Xuanyuan, it should be fine." ”

In Qingtang City, in the county governor's mansion, Xuanyuan Shengcai and seven or eight generals of the Southern Route Army were gathering together at this time, listening to Chu Huan's analysis of the situation, and there was a map of Jiazhou on the table, which was very clear about the topography.

Chu Huan had seen Xiao Heng, so naturally he would not stay in Beishan, so he hurried back to Qingtang County.

The original county order of Qingtang County once betrayed Chu Huan, and it has long been gone, but now a new county order has been appointed, and now the situation between the two provinces is tense, Qingtang County is at the forefront, and this Qingtang County Yamen has become a temporary command post.

Chu Huan came south on this trip, of course, to inspect the situation here, and went to see Xiao Heng again, in addition, it was actually to see the situation of King Yingren of Qi, Qiu Ruxue went to the capital, and there has been no news coming, Chu Huan knows that the prince of Lu Dao is an extremely sinister figure, and has been worried about the situation of King Qi and Ling Shuang, he is in Shuoquan, he is really a little unsteady, and he came to Qingtang County, in fact, he also wanted to know the news of King Qi of Lu Dao earlier.

"Chu Du, in this way, Xiao Huanzhang is really ready to fight this battle with us?" Xuanyuan Shengcai sneered.

Chu Huan said solemnly: "His mind is naturally to want the minimum price and achieve the greatest benefit, he thinks he is shrewd, but unfortunately his mind is too heavy, and sometimes he will count himself into it." ”

"Chu Du, Liang Zihe can't give up." Lu Cunxiao, who had been silent beside him, suddenly spoke: "If you give up Liangzihe, you will give up an extremely strong fortification." ”

Lu Cunxiao abandoned the secret and was recruited by Chu Huan, but his status was not high, and this time he led troops to reinforce, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and then Chu Huan issued an order to promote Lu Cunxiao to the hundred households of the Pingxi Army.

The commander of the Pingxi Army is the general of Pingxi, and the eight battalions have not yet been reorganized, and each battalion has a commander, and under it are thousands of households, hundreds of households, all affairs, all lieutenants, and school captains.

Lu Cunxiao originally had no official position, and he was promoted to 100 households all of a sudden, which was already an earth-shattering shock, and it was extremely rare for the army to be directly promoted to 100 households in terms of seniority and merit, which certainly made many people feel a little unfair, but at the same time, it had an encouraging effect on the soldiers, so that many soldiers could see that Chu Governor hired people, regardless of background, let alone seniority, as long as he had the ability and ability, he could be promoted.

Today's meeting, in addition to the commander, there are at least a thousand households, Lu Cunxiao is only a hundred, it is said that he is not qualified to participate in such a high-level meeting, after all, there are many military secrets in a high-level meeting like this, but Chu Huan still let Lu Cunxiao come to participate, which made Lu Cunxiao's heart greatly moved, although he didn't say a few words to Chu Huan on weekdays, but what Chu Huan did made Lu Cunxiao feel really extraordinary, full of courage, and Chu Huan obviously valued himself, This made Lu Cunxiao even more aware of the death of a confidant.

Originally, he was only a hundred households, and he was also low-key, this kind of high-level meeting, he shouldn't have said much, but like Chu Huan, he still spoke bluntly after all, in order to repay Chu Huan's cultivation.

A Qianhu next to him also nodded and said: "Chu Du, what Lu Baihu said is right, the Liangzi River is a natural barrier, we are ready, as soon as their people step on the river, they will immediately throw rocks and smash the river surface, and let those dog offal fall into the river to feed the fish." ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "That is nothing more than blocking the enemy for a while, and it can't really solve the threat of the Beishan Army to us." I not only want to give Liang Zihe to him, but also Qingtang City to him......!" ”

The crowd suddenly changed color.

Xuanyuan Shengcai has been following Chu Huan for a long time, knowing that Chu Huan likes to use strange tricks the most, others don't understand, but he understands that Chu Huan must do this for a reason, and was about to ask, but he heard a knock on the door outside, and everyone immediately frowned, even Chu Huan also locked his brows, you need to know that such a high-level military meeting is very important, unless it is urgent, it must not be disturbed, and there are guards outside, it is not an emergency, and it can't be approached.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, naturally there was an important change, and Xuanyuan Shengcai had already said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”

A voice came from outside: "General Hui, there is a man named Qiu Ruxue, he asks to see the general!" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai's face had not changed, but Chu Huan had already changed suddenly, and there was surprise in his eyes, without saying a word, he walked over quickly, opened the door, and asked, "Where is he?" ”

"It's just outside the yamen." Come and go.

At this time, Xuanyuan Shengcai and other generals also followed, all of them showed surprise, they all knew that Chu Huan was calm, and he was a person who was not angry, but now Chu Huan looked excited, which was extremely rare, and he really didn't understand why Chu Huan was so excited about the arrival of Qiu Ruxue, that is, Xuanyuan Shengcai, was also stunned.

Of course, they didn't know that Chu Huan sent Qiu Ruxue to the capital, Qiu Ruxue entered the capital, it was an extremely secret thing, there were very few people who knew the Dao, Chu Huan heard that Qiu Ruxue came back, there was Qiu Ruxue safe and sound, and he was happy in his heart, and he knew that Qiu Ruxue must have brought back the news of the King of Qi, one of his biggest concerns was the safety of the King of Qi, and he was worried day and night, and now the answer was in front of him, so he was naturally excited.

Chu Huan didn't give an order, and went straight to the yamen, Xuanyuan Shengcai and the others looked at each other, thinking that there was something big, so they all pressed the handle of the knife on their waists and followed.

When I walked to the front yard of the yamen, I saw torches lit in the courtyard, several figures were waiting there, Xuanyuan Shengcai and others followed behind Chu Huan, all of them were in armor, and when they walked, the sound of the armor rubbing against them clicked, and the sound was obviously heard over there, Qiu Ruxue took the lead in turning around, and when he saw Chu Huan, his eyes lit up.

Although Qiu Ruxue and the four of them were all wearing coarse cotton jackets, Chu Huan's eyes were so sharp that he instantly recognized the figure of King Qi and even Ling Shuang, he was happy that Qiu Ruxue was no big problem and returned safely, but he was still worried that King Qi had not been able to get out of danger, and at this moment, seeing that King Qi and Ling Shuang had already come to the northwest with Qiu Ruxue, the biggest stone in his heart finally landed.

King Qi obviously also heard the movement, turned around, under the firelight, he saw a group of iron-armored generals surrounding Chu Huan, seeing that familiar face, King Qi only felt his body tremble, opened his mouth, he thought Chu Huan was in Shuoquan, but he really didn't expect to be able to see Chu Huan in Qingtang, it seems that there are countless things to say, but he doesn't know where to start with the first sentence of this meeting.

Chu Huan had a happy look on his face, and looked at King Qi with four eyes, he stepped forward slowly, suddenly quickened his pace, and quickly stepped forward, the distance was only three thoughts, he knelt down on one knee, and his voice was solemn: "Chu Huan, the governor of Xiguan Road, see His Royal Highness Fuguo!" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai had already recognized King Qi at this time, he was a child of the Xuanyuan family, when he was in the capital, he naturally saw King Qi, but he didn't expect King Qi to appear in Qingtang, he was shocked, and saw that Chu Huan had already knelt down to worship, and then did not hesitate, stepped forward quickly, and knelt down on one knee behind Chu Huan, and said respectfully: "Chen Xuanyuan Shengcai, see Your Highness!" ”

No one of the other generals had seen the King of Qi, and at this time they had already understood, and when they saw that the dignified Governor of Xiguan and General Pingxi had already knelt down to pay respects, naturally there was no other word, Qi Qi came forward, and seven or eight generals knelt on the ground one after another.

King Qi is eyes are red at this time, since the emperor left the capital, he actually never felt safe, after leaving the capital, to say something ugly, more like a lost dog, full of bitterness, at this time saw Chu Huan with a burly ironclad general kneeling in front of him, for a moment there was an unprecedented sense of security.

He was beaten by the crown prince and escaped from the capital, with no dignity, but at this moment, the glory of the prince returned to him, it was in this short moment, seeing these brave generals, he hoped for a great life in his heart, and he only felt that it was not hopeless to return to the capital, and he stepped forward between two steps, and he actually hugged Chu Huan, and all the grievances came to his heart at this moment, and he cried bitterly: "Chu Huan, I ...... I thought I'd never see you again......! Tears were already pouring out of her eyes.

Chu Huan had already guessed that King Qi must have suffered a great grievance, and he could understand his current mood, although he felt that he was a dignified prince and cried in public to lose his dignity, he still patted King Qi on the back and said warmly: "Fuguo, this is Xiguan, it is your world, and here are all your courtiers, you don't have to be wronged anymore." ”

Several generals behind him have never seen the king of Qi, the first time they saw this prince, they saw him hugging Chu Huan and crying bitterly, they were all a little surprised, these generals, they were all iron-clad men, bleeding without tears, and they didn't know what happened to the king of Qi, and they couldn't help but feel that this king of Qi was really a little weak.

Chu Huan got rid of the Pingxi general Dongfang Xin at the beginning, and then carried out a big purge of the Pingxi army, a large group of Dongfang Xin's cronies and generals were all cleared, Chu Huan ordered Xuanyuan Shengcai to take over Dongfang Xin's position, and then promoted a large group of really capable generals in the army, almost all of the generals present today were Chu Huan pulled up with one hand, and when he heard Chu Huan say to King Qi, a few people couldn't help but think in their hearts: "Now that the northwest is competing for hegemony, the whole world is in turmoil, and it is still unknown whether this Great Qin Jiangshan can be saved, The northwest is no longer something that the imperial court can manage, and the courtiers in the northwest are not necessarily all the courtiers of Great Qin. ”
