Li Qing, who hurried back to Dingzhou on a fast horse, received a bad report the next day, and Jiang Kui's whirlwind battalion sent back the news that Dingyuan had been lost, and the raider was the Bai tribe's Huhe wolf army returning from outside the Green Ridge Pass.

"How's it going? Let's go into details! Looking at the messenger, Li Qing was full of chagrin, and Bayar successfully set himself along.

After the barbarians occupied Dingyuan, they did not continue to advance, but stationed in Dingyuan on the spot, Jiang Shen General estimated that the tiger wolf ran the army for a long time, and he must have been extremely tired, although he successfully occupied Dingyuan, but he was unable to go deeper. General Jiang Shen and General Wang Wang have joined forces and are stationed in Shahe Town, which is twenty miles away from Dingyuan, and Weiyuan and Zhenyuan on both sides of Dingyuan are ready to fight, and have issued a combat mobilization order. ”

Li Qing let out a long breath, and wondered a little in his heart why the grassland barbarians, who had always believed in blitzkrieg, stopped this time? You need to know that what you are most afraid of is that the wolf run army will drive straight in, causing irreparable damage to Dingyuan and other places, a large number of their cavalry are in the forest, and only Jiang Kui has more than 5,000 horsemen who are maneuvering, which is really not enough to pose a threat to the wolf running army, and although Wang Qinian's foot soldiers are strong, but the two legs are impossible to catch up with the four legs.

"How are our troops and civilians in Dingyuan?" Li Qing then asked.

The messenger's face became heavy, "Marshal, we have gathered some of the defeated troops, and the news we got from them is that the Dingyuan guard general Wang Wenfeng has fought hard and has died heroically. More than 1,000 people of the 3,000 Dingyuan garrison were killed, more than 1,000 people were captured, and hundreds of people were scattered. ”

With a bang, Li Qing kicked over the chair, Wang Wenfeng was the first senior general at the level of a staff general to die since he took charge of the army, and there were more than a thousand soldiers, if he had been vigilant enough against Bayar, then these sacrifices could have been avoided.

"Dashuai!" Shang Haibo took a step forward, hugged his fists and said: "Victory or defeat on the battlefield is a common thing, and General Wang will be considered to be worthy of death if he seeks benevolence." This time let Bayar take advantage, next time we will double it back, this matter, I am responsible, I never thought that Bayar would dare to drive the tired army to attack Dingyuan. ”

Qingfeng also stood up, "The Statistical Survey Department should be the main responsibility, we did not find the whereabouts of the Wolf Running Army, we actually guessed that they have not returned, the failure of intelligence is the main reason for our failure this time, I am willing to accept the punishment of the general." ”

Li Qing waved his hand, his eyes were a little red, "Now is not the time to hold accountable, to find out the true intentions of the other party this time, what do they want to do?" ”

Li Qing is very strange, Bayar's move is indeed taking advantage, but it does not have much impact on the strategic situation of the whole person, it is impossible for Huhe to occupy Dingyuan for a long time, if the wolf army breaks Dingyuan, take advantage of the situation to loot and retreat, in order to retaliate for being run by Dingzhou in the forest, Li Qing can figure it out, but at this time, he will not fight, and he will not go, what is the reason? Could it be that Bayar still wants to occupy it? With Huhe's wolf army to hold Dingyuan? It is impossible, he can gather a large number of troops in a short time in Dingzhou, and it is impossible for the other side to hold it.

What does he want to do? Li Qing muttered.

"Order the two generals of King Jiang to be stationed on the spot in Shahe Town, be on guard, and order Zhenyuan Weiyuan, gather troops, and wait for the order to attack."

"Mr. Shang, send an order to Dingzhou, prepare for war! A mobilization order was issued, and all reserves were assembled. ”

"Qingfeng, the Statistical Survey Department is going all out to find out what Huhe's purpose is?"

After Li Qing issued a series of orders, Dingzhou was established and rumbled, the military state of Dingzhou has become accustomed to war, just one day's effort, the entire Dingzhou has become a war machine, all the yamen began to tilt towards the army, a combat unit, the reserve force has all entered a state of war, and the city of Dingzhou began to be under martial law.

But a day later, Li Qing realized that all this he had done was in vain, Hu He had no plan to fight him at all, and he actually sent an envoy to Dingzhou.

When Li Qing saw this messenger with pigtails on his head appear in front of him, he finally understood what Hu He wanted.

"General Huhe's subordinate Haoge has seen Li Dashuai!" The pigtail stroked his chest with his left hand and bowed slightly.

Li Qing, who was standing above the tiger case, stared at Haoge coldly, and above the lobby, there were all people who had a deep hatred with the barbarians, and they all looked sideways angrily, and the killing intent was permeated, just under the forced gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, Haoge's face did not change, he still smiled, and looked directly at Li Qing.

"Sure enough, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, you are very bold, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Li Qing said coldly.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, Li Dashuai hates his hands, he raided the Angu Department back then, tens of thousands of people, and killed them all, Dudi is a murderous demon king, Haoge is also raised by his father, how can he not be afraid?" Hauge's answer was unexpected, and everyone thought that he was going to be bold and say a few bold words!

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, the person brought out by Huhe was really extraordinary!

"Then you dare to come?"

"Why don't you dare to come?" Haoge said with a smile: "Dingyuan, there are as many as 1,000 people in your army who have been captured and abused by our army, and tens of thousands of people, if I die, they will have to give me a funeral, think about it, there are so many people to accompany me to bury, even if it is worth dying!" Dashuai, in our grassland, it is a great honor to have so many burials. If that's the case, I, Hauge, really have to thank the handsome! ”

Li Qing was furious, and the living people were buried together, and it was indeed a group of barbarians. Looking at Haoge with a smug face, Li Qing's anger slowly calmed down, stared at Haoge for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud.

Haoge's face changed, "Why did the big handsome laugh, thinking that I was impossible?" Can you try it? ”

Li Qing laughed hard, and only after a while did he lean out with his hands on the tiger case, stared at Haoge, and teased: "Haoge, you imagine yourself too important, I will kill you, I dare to say that Huhe will not even let out a fart, he will immediately send another person to contact me." Is that right? You'd better not play in front of me, be careful that I kill you when I get your last name, and let people carry your head to see Huhe. Let's see if Huhe dares to move my Dingyuan military and civilians? ”

Haoge's face turned red and pale, staring at Li Qing, panting, but unable to speak.

"Let's talk, let's talk about Huhe's conditions, if it's possible, it's not impossible for us to talk?" Li Qing sat back and looked at Hauge with disdain.

Hauge's arrogance was completely suppressed, and thinking about what Commander Huhe said before he came, he finally let his breath go back.

"Lord Hu said, we use the surnames of tens of thousands of people in Dingzhou to exchange two people with the marshal, as long as the adults release these two people, our wolf army will immediately withdraw from Dingyuan and release all the prisoners."

Everyone couldn't help but be moved, everyone in these two people here knew that the Bai princess Nafu and the general Noqia, the value of the two of them to Dingzhou was self-evident, and they couldn't imagine that Bayar drove the wolf to run the army, and the tired army attacked from afar, and the purpose was to rescue these two people, would the marshal agree? Everyone looked at Li Qing together.

Shang Haibo stood up, waved to Li Qing, and said, "Dashuai, Nafu and Nokia are two precious ......."

Li Qingmeng raised his hand and interrupted Shang Haibo's words, he knew what Shang Haibo meant, he wanted to use these two people to get back a bigger bargaining chip, since Hu He defeated Dingyuan and did not move, Li Qing and Shang Haibo invariably thought of this problem, Shang Haibo's opinion is that since these two people are so important to Bayar, then they can claim to be strange, and they can ask for higher returns from the other party, and the more than 1,000 soldiers and people in Dingyuan, even if they don't change, Hu He will not kill them, but will only take them back to the grassland, In the past, the grassland did not take people from Dingzhou, and there was a chance to save them back in the future.

But Li Qing felt that it was too cost-effective, he never felt that one or two people could affect the overall situation, Nokia was a fierce general, and also a wise general, although Nafu was noble, but compared with tens of thousands of people and more than a thousand soldiers, what was it? What's more, if you exchange these two people for these people, what you get is not only the trust and gratitude of these people?

"You can change it!" Li Qing first gave a conclusion, and Shang Haibo couldn't help but sigh and lowered his head, "But how can you guarantee that after I release these two people, Hu He will release my people and withdraw from Dingyuan?" ”

"Lord Huhe vouches for his personality!" Hauge said loudly.

"Don't talk to me about personality or anything like that, I never believed you still have personality at all!" Li Qing said unceremoniously.

Haoge was furious: "Lord Tiger is a promise, and what he says doesn't count, but you Da Chu people are cunning and capricious. Tiger Lord Prairie Lion, will he be the same as you? ”

As soon as the words came out, there was a loud sound above Dachang, and the generals in the hall were all angry, and pulled out their waist knives, as long as Li Qing had a look, he would cut this outrageous bastard into meat puree?

Hum! Li Qing sneered: "It's useless to say that these are all useless, Haoge, go back and tell your family commander, is he willing to release people first and withdraw the troops?" How about I also vouch for my personality? Does he believe it? You and I are two families, the enmity is as deep as the sea, and no one will trust anyone. You go back and say to Hu He, I will release Noqia first, he will withdraw from Dingyuan, release back to our people, and then I will release Princess Nafu. If he breaks his promise, he should know the consequences. ”

Hauge had no choice but to go.

"Dashuai, do you really want to change people?" Hauge left, and everyone gathered around him and asked.

"Put, why not? Just two people, how can we compare with the surnames of tens of thousands of people and more than 1,000 soldiers in Dingyuan, we have made a lot of money in this business! Li Qing smiled and said, "One knife, go to Chongxian and bring these two people back to me." ”
