The army led by Xiao Yan, Lan Ze, and Qi Lecheng first attacked northward from the surrendered city, penetrated a hundred miles into the territory of Tule, and then marched northwestward to join the army of Hebei Road, which was heading west from Bell Lake.

After the two armies join forces, they will be able to bite off a large piece of land bordering the southeast of Tule and the Dali Dynasty from their territory.

Although the outcome was mixed and the process was bumpy, at the end of the twelfth lunar month of the ninth year of Yuanheng, the two sides finally met.

The place where the teachers meet is a place called Kata City. Although it is called a "city", it does not have a square wall like the city in the Dali Dynasty.This is just an inhabited area, but the land is sparsely populated. The area of ​​the whole city is about three Huangliang counties, but the residential area is less than half of Huangliang.

Because of the war, most of them ran away, and the rest were people who can probably be summed up in four words-the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

It was Xu Zhao, the eldest son of Hebei Jiedu envoy who led the troops to join the army. Qi Lecheng led people to take down Kata City and handed it over to him, asking him to wait here for Xiao Yan to come over.Qi Lecheng led his troops to detour, and together with Lan Ze, eliminated the Tule forces around Kata City.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month in the ninth year of Yuanheng, Qi Lecheng and Lan Ze, who had completed the task, happened to meet Xiao Yan who came from the other side, and the three of them went to Kata City together.

"That Xu Zhao is indeed a ruthless character." Qi Lecheng commented on Xu Zhao, "No matter in appearance or temperament, he is nothing like his father."

"Maybe Xiao's mother." Xiao Yan said, "Mother said before that sons are more like mothers, and daughters are more like fathers."

This statement is very convincing, Xiao Yan and Xiao Mo are two typical examples.

"In less than ten days, Xiao Mo will be four years old." Speaking of this, Qi Lecheng thought of Xiao Mo, "I don't know if she will recognize her when we go back."

"What if we are born with us?" He worried.

"Your Highness is very smart, so he must be different from ordinary children." Lan Ze continued, "Don't worry, I will only forget you if I forget, but I will definitely remember Your Highness and the commander-in-chief."

"Boss Lan, you have learned to flatter." Qi Lecheng made a sad expression, "If you don't learn well, I will sue Sister Yinzhu when I go back."

"Go back after the battle, and file a few complaints as you like."

Lan Ze's words touched everyone's heart, yes, they are all eager to end the war this morning, return to Shendu, Huangliang, and return to normal life.

"Soon." Seeing the team coming to meet them, he shook his horsewhip and said, "Mother said that the war will definitely end within two years."

……

"The last general, Xu Zhao, see Your Highness." Xu Zhao got off his horse and bowed down.

"General Xu is free of courtesy." Xiao Yan also jumped off his horse and took two steps forward to help him up, "You don't need to pay too much attention to these etiquettes on the battlefield."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Zhao looked up, and Lan Ze saw his face clearly.He looks like a handsome young man, at least ten years younger than his actual age.Thinking of the black charcoal-like face of Hebei Jiedu Envoy, he understood why Qi Lecheng specifically mentioned that Xu Zhao didn't look like his father anymore.

After several people greeted each other, Xu lured Xiao Yan and others into the city.

The lord of Kata City fled with his family before the army arrived. Xu Zhao ordered his house to be cleaned up and used as a temporary shelter for Xiao Yan and others.

"The last general has already ordered someone to set up a banquet in the main hall to clean up the dust for His Highness and the generals."

As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw that the hall was already filled with delicious food and wine.The floor was covered with thick carpets, and there was a burning charcoal basin on both sides of the door and on both sides of the seat.

In addition, on the carpet between the seats on both sides, there are also two rows of ten handsome young women kneeling.

Even though the room was full of charcoal fire, they were all shivering in the cold in gorgeous dance dresses with bare waists and shoulders.

Qi Lecheng looked at Xiao Yan with a half-smile, half-suspicious gaze.

Xiao Yan returned him a look.

Qi Lecheng received it, put his hand to his mouth and coughed: "Ahem, that...General Xu, this is?"

"Your Highness and the generals have worked hard on the front line. This is specially prepared by the last general for you to relax for a while." Xu Zhao had a sophisticated expression on his face, beckoning to the woman kneeling in front of him, "Come and see you soon." Pass Your Highness and the generals."

"Hey, hey, that..." Qi Lecheng was taken aback, and quickly hid behind Xiao Yan, pushing him forward.

Xu Zhao was full of doubts.

"General Qi is not satisfied with my preparation?" He asked, "Is this not to your liking?"

"Ah Cheng is negotiating a marriage, so General Xu don't make fun of him." Xiao Yan said in a timely manner, "I also have a wife, and my wife is following my mother to treat the wounded on the front line."

Xiao Yan's refusal was very tactful, but if it fell into the ears of people who don't know him well, they would subconsciously think that he was duplicity and wanted to refuse.

What Xu Zhao thought was: this His Highness has great prestige in the army, and he has always been strict with himself to the outside world.Presumably it was not easy to damage the image that had been established, so he pretended to refuse.

So he said: "Your Highness and his wife are deeply in love, it's because I didn't think carefully."

Hearing this, Qi Lecheng thought to himself: It's not difficult to communicate, at least you can listen to what others say.

This is not the first time he has encountered such a situation, the rejection is too tactful, others think he is being polite, but the rejection is too direct and afraid of hurting his friendship.And he doesn't want it, other people want it, too much refusal will spoil other people's interest.I have to say that every time is a test of his ability to communicate with people.

"General Qi."

"what?"

Seeing Xu Zhao beckon the two women to come towards him, Qi Lecheng was stunned.

"These two were specially selected for you, and they are both clean and good families."

Xu Zhao indicated that the two people who were selected saluted Qi Lecheng together: "My family pays respects to the general."

"General Lan." Before Qi Lecheng could refuse, Xu Zhao immediately beckoned the two of them over, "This is..."

"I also have a marriage contract, and my fiancée is fighting on the front line with the commander." Lan Ze took a step back directly, with the appearance that strangers should not enter.

Xu Zhao's face was full of embarrassment when he heard the words: Lan Ze, it really is as ruthless as the rumors say.

"Ahahaha..." No one gave the steps, so he could only find the steps himself, "Then let them dance, dance."

……

After drinking for three rounds, the eyes of the people at the table looking at the dancer in the middle can be described as distinct—the one sitting on the left came with Xiao Yan, and they all concentrated on eating and drinking, while the generals of Hebei Taoist sitting on the right sat It's already somewhat unclear.

"This Xu Zhao... I really underestimated him." Qi Lecheng whispered to Lan Ze, "If he was with my aunt, he would have been beaten by the army."

"There will be no such people around the commander-in-chief." Lan Ze took a sip of wine and said, "The military discipline of Hebei Road needs to be rectified."

"Let's talk about it after the battle." Qi Lecheng said, "As long as you can fight now, you are a good soldier."

He leaned his body to talk to Lan Ze, and he caught a faint glimpse of a cold light out of the corner of his eye.

Qi Lecheng thought it was the accessories on the dancer's body, so he didn't want to think about it.But when he raised his wine glass to toast Lan Ze, the dancing girl suddenly rushed towards Xiao Yan.The cold light he saw you just now turned out to be the knife she hid in her sleeve!

I wish you all a happy New Year's Eve and all your wishes come true in the new year!
