After encountering Li Siyuan outside Lingqiu City, the scouts of the Flying Eagle Battalion immediately returned to Zhigu Pass and reported to the camp that Lingqiu City was abandoning the city and fleeing. Hearing the news, Li Jing just smiled and nodded, and then gave each of the scout cavalry a reward of wine and meat, and let them retire after a reward.

At that time, Liu Xun's generals all asked for war to send troops to pursue, but Li Jing only said lightly: "Let's talk about it when the rain stops." ”

This one was said again, and it was until noon the next day, and the soldiers continued to ask for battle. It was only in the afternoon that Li Jing gave the order to attack. Li Cunxiao, who was the most active in the battle, led his headquarters to take Lingqiu first, Wang Yanzhang's iron spear took the lonely city, and Liu Xun's flying sword and Gao Siji's white horse searched for the remnants of the soldiers and horses in Ulzhou.

Li Jing knew that these four young generals were now eager to fight, and although they agreed to their invitation to fight, they only drew 200 cavalry for them. In order to prevent them from continuing to pursue the Shatuo people without obeying the military order, after they attacked.

Li Jing left 5,000 soldiers and horses to sit in Zhigu Pass, and the remaining nearly 15,000 soldiers and horses, each divided into 15 roads in battalions, scattered to the entire area south of the Sanggan River in Ulzhou, and implemented Li Jing's three-light policy.

After the battle was agreed, Li Cunxiao immediately held the iron lance in his hand, stepped on the sweaty BMW money horse given by Li Jing, roared, and led his two hundred rampant cavalry to Lingqiu City. After rushing all the way to Lingqiu City, I realized that this city in the south of the Yangtze River had become an empty city at this time, and no one had seen it. Li Cunxiao immediately wanted to pursue him south.

Rampage Duyu Marquis Zhao immediately stopped Li Cunxiao: "Where does Yanei want to lead his troops?" ”

"Pursuing the enemy, of course."

"The soldiers and horses of Kelingqiu have already fled, and they may have entered Shuozhou at this time!"

"Then chase it to Shuozhou. It doesn't matter where he flees. I can't escape my iron lance. Li Cunxiao said indifferently.

Zhao Lining is a veteran of the Zhendong Army. Previously, he was selected to study in the officer's guard battalion, and performed well in the guard battalion, which was personally praised by Li Jing. This time, Li Cunxiao built a new Hengchong capital, and Li Jing deliberately transferred Zhao Li to the Hengchong capital to serve as the Marquis of Yu. Before taking office, Li Jing also called him to talk for a long time, and asked him to help Li Cunxiao with Yang Xin, the teacher of Hengchongdu, and Kangen, the deputy general. Sometimes I have to help restrain Li Cunxiao. After all, although Li Cunxiao has a record of more than 100 people, he is young after all. Some conceited, short-tempered, and bad-tempered.

"Yanei, before sending troops, the county prince said that our task in this battle is to capture Lingqiu City first. Now that Lingqiu City has been taken, what we have to do now is to defend this city and wait for the arrival of the county lord. Instructor Yang Xin also immediately persuaded on the side.

"Then sit back and watch them run?" Li Cunxiao muttered a little dissatisfied, but he remembered what Li Jing had said to him, and asked him to listen to Zhao Li, Yang Xin and others more.

"So what are we going to do now?"

"Hold the city."

"What is there to defend in an empty city. If you like to keep it, I'll leave it to you. After Li Cunxiao finished speaking, he directly took ten soldiers and rode out of the city.

Zhao Li said with some worry: "Yanai won't be chasing the enemy, right?" ”

Yang Xin smiled: "I brought ten people." How to chase the enemy? It is estimated that he went hunting, anyway, now that the Shatuo people in Lingqiu have fled, it is estimated that there will be no danger, so let him go. ”

"Let's let the left team follow, in case the province runs into the Shatuo people." Kang En said a little worriedly, this Li Cunxiao is one of the four disciples of the county prince, and he is the most popular among the county princes right now, so he must not make a mistake. Zhao Li and Yang Xin thought about it and felt that they could. At that moment, Wang Meng, the leader of the left team, was recruited, "You bring the brothers of the left team, follow up, and remember to protect the Yanei." ”

Wang Meng took the order and greeted him, Li Cunxiao just took the people from his left team, and now he called all the remaining sixty or so people, and got on the horse together and chased them outside the city. When he went out of the city, he could only see a little darkness in the distance. Riding horses all the way, galloping on the muddy road for a long time, finally caught up with Li Cunxiao under a hillside.

Breathing in the cool air, Wang Meng panted a little and said to Li Cun: "Teach and let Yu Hou let his subordinates come." ”

Li Cunxiao looked at the sixty or so people brought by Wang Meng, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a low voice, with a seductive tone: "Wang Meng, do you want to be a general?" ”

Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, some didn't understand, and thought that Li Cunxiao meant something else, and immediately stammered a little: "A hundred people were killed in a battle in the Yanei, and the subordinates are really not comparable." ”

"You just say if you want to!"

"Well, I think!" Wang Meng nodded, how could he not want to be promoted. The county lord said during a review that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. This sentence has now become a proverb believed by almost all soldiers of the Zhendong Army. Wang Meng joined the Zhendong Army in southern Liaoning, but although he was a soldier in southern Liaoning, because of his brave combat and outstanding performance, he did not have any bad deeds in the past, so after the reorganization of Youzhou, he not only did not demote, but was promoted to the head of the team.

Looking at Wang Meng's expectant eyes, Li Cunxiao smiled: "I finally asked the county lord for an order to fight, but I didn't think that these damn guys ran faster than rabbits, and only an empty city was left." They ran away, and our credit was lost. ”

The other soldiers were also a little regretful, they were able to be selected from the battalions, and the last one entered the Hengchong Capital, a very promising team in the eyes of their comrades, and they were naturally the elite of the elite. People who have the ability are always more ambitious than ordinary people. This time was supposed to be an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but who would have thought that it would be empty.

"Credit, but take it right away!" Although Li Cunxiao was young, he read out what Li Jing said seriously at this time, "The people of Shatuo have lost their courage and are fleeing all the way south, let's catch up now and take some heads back, which is also a credit." ”

Wang Meng said with some concern: "But Zhao Yuhou and Yang taught them before, our mission this time is to occupy Lingqiu City." ”

Li Cunxiao snorted coldly, "Is it the teaching official or my official university?" ”

"Naturally, it is the largest in the yamen." Wang Meng immediately expressed his position.

"Isn't that it, the county prince can't expect everything before the army, there is a saying that what will be outside?"

"Will be outside, the king will not love it!" Wang Meng hurriedly made up for it.

"Yes, that's what it means. Now that I'm the boss of the rampage, if you're willing to follow me, listen to me. With these seventy or so brothers, it is enough. Now, it's up to you to have the guts. Li Cunxiao said excitedly.

Wang Meng hesitated in his heart, and thought about it later, Li Cunxiao was the chief official of the rampant capital, and he was the business protégé of the county prince, even if something happened, he would stand up to him. Besides, the temptation of meritorious promotion is indeed great, and after thinking about it, he nodded after thinking about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the brothers all listen to the Yanei." ”

More than seventy horsemen set off again, this time all the way south. The farther south you go, the sparse figures begin to appear on the road. Most of these people fled from Ulju to the direction of the Yunshuo Dynasty. However, some old and weak people are the most outdated and fall behind.

Li Cunxiao didn't even have the desire to stop these people, and rolled directly to the south like a violent wind, leaving only the frightened eyes of the people on the road who didn't have time to retract. After galloping like this for almost a day, they finally arrived at Taixi Mountain.

Taixi Mountain, that is, the border of the two states of the Wei Dynasty, here the mountain is high and the road is steep, and the Eighth Route Army of later generations once ambushed the Japanese here and fought a beautiful victory, that is, Pingxingguan.

Taixi Mountain, located between Lingqiu in Ulju and Fanqi in Daiju, is not only the middle boundary between the two states, but also the middle boundary between the two counties. The terrain here is dangerous, and there is a small military village stationed at the pass. Li Keyong's last capture of Daizhou was from Ulzhou to Yunzhou, then to Shuozhou, and then to Daizhou, so this military fortress between the Wei Dynasty is well preserved. After Li Keyong took Daizhou, the 500 defenders in the military village surrendered to Li Keyong. At present, Li Keyong has sent another 300 men, and there are 800 people in Guancheng.

The 4,000 old and weak remnants who retreated from Lingqiu and Feigu in Ulzhou were also resting in this small military city at this time, this mountain road was not easy to walk, and it had rained, and there were many people on the road, which was even more difficult to walk. Many people were reluctant to leave their hometowns in Ulju. However, before Mrs. Liu evacuated, she had already spread rumors everywhere, saying that Li Jing from Dengzhou was ruthless, and everywhere he passed, he not only took away all the people's property, cattle and sheep, but also forcibly conscripted young women and girls to be military prostitutes, and those young men were taken to Liaodong as slaves, and the old people were taken away from all their food and money and left behind. They said that they had noses and eyes, and they also said that Li Jing had robbed 100,000 young men and women from Youzhou to return to Liaodong before.

As soon as this rumor came out, it was confirmed by some businessmen that not long ago, the Zhendong Army had indeed robbed 100,000 people from Youzhou and returned to southern Liaoning. As a result, many people believed this rumor, and some people even began to spread false rumors, saying that the Zhendong Army also arrested those teenagers and sold them to Khitan, Bohai, Silla, and Dongying Bunu. They even killed and ate the children they caught as military rations.

Panic spread, and almost all the people in the cities of Ulju fled with the retreating soldiers and horses, and only some villages did not hear the news and stayed at home.

At dawn on another day, the Thai opera military village looming among the mountains appeared in front of me, and between the valleys, stood a small but very dangerous mountain city. Between the verdant two mountains, there is a high stone wall made of mountain stones, and more than a dozen tall arrow towers stand on it.

Li Cunxiao first climbed a mountain peak not far away and carefully looked at the situation in the cottage.

"In the Yanei, there are 20,000 or 30,000 people in the military village, and looking at those military tents, there are at least 5,000 soldiers and horses." Wang Meng's face was a little ugly, and he ran all the way for a day, but he only saw such a result. Not to mention that there are four or five thousand soldiers and horses in the military village, even if there are only four or five hundred soldiers, there is such a dangerous cottage, it is definitely not something they can deal with.

Li Cunxiao sneered, as if he had a bamboo in his chest and a chance to win. (To be continued......)
