Horse on the World

Chapter 439
Wan Lun failed to catch up with Hu Zequan's army, but instead received a heavy blow on the bull's head. The [-] subordinates led by Ai Jiaxin cut his army in half. Wan Lun, who was in a hurry, went into battle in person. Speaking of the fighting power of the two major battalions of the capital, they were indeed extraordinary. Although they were extremely disadvantaged, they were defeated without chaos. With the feather arrow, he became a stinger, but he still fought fiercely, and let him kill Ai Bu completely, and successfully assembled the troops.Although surrounded, Wan Lun's tribe, which formed a huge circular formation, has also passed the most dangerous moment. Now that he is taking the lead, he is not in a hurry. He just needs to hold back the opponent and wait until the main force of the general arrives. .

Wan Lun, who was covered in blood, sat in the center of the circle, took off his bloody armor, let the medical soldiers wrap his wounds, and cursed at the same time, but he was full of energy.

Seeing that the opportunity had been lost, Hu Zehui sighed secretly. If he was leading the elite of the Southern Army, Rong Wanlun would be so rampant there. After all, these troops reformed from the rebel army are still inferior in combat effectiveness. Weaker.

Shaking his head, "Retreat!" he ordered.

Hu Zequan, who had a huge advantage in military power, left as soon as he said it, but Wan Lun had nothing to do, he could only watch helplessly as the opponent slipped away from under his nose again and escaped into Fuping.

Not long after, Xiao Yuanshan arrived and seeing Wan Lun covered in blood, he had no way to vent his anger, so he could only lead his army to approach Fuping and besiege Hu Zehui in Fuping mansion. In just a few days, the host and guest of the two armies changed bit.

In Minzhou, Qin Kaiyuan, the son of King Ning who had joined forces with Lanshan, became the commander of this [-]-strong army. Behind him, Qinzhou City was still stuck like a nail, but Qin Kaiyuan was not worried, what could be done with the little soldiers and horses in Qinzhou City?

Throwing away the battle report in his hand, Qin Kaiyuan said angrily: "Hu Zequan still hasn't taken Qinzhou City. This guy is really old. It seems that I have to suggest that my father change to a general."

Lan Shan smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, Old General Hu is a rare and fierce general. Qinzhou City itself is strong and difficult to attack, and the army he leads is not the main force of our army. It is just a reorganization of some rebels. A few years ago, these People are still some farmers, and today's achievements are all due to the strength of General Hu. Besides, Xiao Yuanshan is not an ordinary person. This person has been able to compete with the barbarians in Dingzhou for several years. Naturally, he has his reasons. Not bad either!"

Qin Kaiyuan sneered and said: "Xiao Yuanshan, I don't think so. He was beaten by Li Qing three times, five times and two times. He couldn't find his way. He was confused about how he lost. Such a person is also worthy of being our opponent?"

"Li Qing is an outstanding person in the world, which is rare in the world. It is Xiao Yuanshan's misfortune to meet him!" Lan Shan just said a few words, and suddenly saw the cold light flashing in the eyes of the elder son, and shut up quickly. The elder son Qin Kaiyuan is younger than Li Qing. He is still a few years older, but in terms of achievements, he is far inferior to the other party. It is inevitable for a young man to be competitive. How many freaks like Li Qing are there in the world?

"One day, I will learn how powerful Li Qing is?" Qin Kaiyuan said.

Lan Shan frowned slightly. Although the matter continued, there would always be a day when he and Li Qing would meet each other, but His Royal Highness's mentality was not quite right. If they really wanted to bump into each other head-on, I'm afraid the ending would not be better than Xiao Yuanshan's How much, I want to persuade a few words, but remembering Shizi's character, he is also a master with high eyes, so he shut his mouth knowingly.

The southern army was progressing smoothly. After entering Minzhou, Xiao's army was still defeated at one blow. Qin Kaiyuan's troops were divided into three groups, and they attacked together, trying to take Minzhou in the shortest possible time and open up the passage to Luoyang.

Within a few days, [-] soldiers and horses of the Southern Army went deep into Minzhou for nearly a hundred miles, occupying more than a dozen prefectures and counties. The warning letter arrived in Qin Kaiyuan's hands.

Successive victories have made Qin Kaiyuan very disdainful of the fighting power of Xiao's army, and he is even more dissatisfied with Hu Zehui, who has repeatedly attacked Qinzhou City. If Hu Zequan has captured Qinzhou, his [-] troops will be thrown into the front In the war, maybe at this time, he has taken down Minzhou and is approaching Luoyang.

Throwing the letter away, Qin Kaiyuan sneered and said, "Old man Hu is so shameless. He is useless and can't take Qinzhou down. How dare he lie to me with this unfounded thing and want to get rid of his responsibility? Now our army's morale is so low. Hong, just go ahead and go forward bravely, how can you look forward and look backward?" Hu Zequan's warning was completely ignored, but it was a pity that the veteran Lan Shan was sent to the left to direct the attack from the left, and he was not in front of Qin Kaiyuan. The son's order is obedience, such a key piece of information was actually abandoned by Qin Kaiyuan like a shoestring.

A few days later, the Southern Army of the Three Routes joined forces at the city of Minzhou, preparing to launch a final attack on Minzhou. When Lan Shan walked into Qin Kaiyuan's tent in a hurry, Hu Zehui's second wave of envoys went through untold hardships, Out of the ten stops, seven or eight were lost, and only two of them successfully broke through Xiao Yuanshan's blockade and reached the city of Minzhou.

Seeing the two dying envoys covered in blood, Qin Kaiyuan finally changed his expression. He took the bloody letter from the envoy's hand and read it at a glance. His face was already pale, and he loosened his hands, allowing the letter to fall to the ground. Lan Shan took a step forward, picked up the letter, and changed color after reading it.

"My son!" Lan Shan looked at Qin Kaiyuan, "Retreat immediately! Otherwise, it will be too late!"

If Qin Kaiyuan had immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops back to Jinzhou or Qinzhou after receiving the first information from Hu Zequan, he could have avoided catastrophe. This big fish had to slip away with its whole tail. When the southern army just started to retreat, the Xiao family, the Xiang family and all kinds of troops attached to the two powerful families had gathered in all directions, baring their teeth and waving their claws. Pounce on the Southern Army.

In the Battle of Minzhou, the southern army was defeated and retreated. Xiao's army was left to counterattack and regained Minzhou, Jinzhou, and Qinzhou in one fell swoop. If Hu Zequan hadn't resisted Xiao Yuanshan's crazy attack in Fuping, he would have left a trail for Qin Kaiyuan. On the way, the [-] Southern Army will all be buried between these three states.The menacing southern army fled back to Qingzhou and Gaizhou, while Xiao's army attacked with great victories. The main force, led by Xiao Yuanshan, invaded Qingzhou.

When King Ning heard the news of the collapse on the front line, he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and Dang Ting fainted.Since then, King Ning has shrunk across the board. Except for the prefectural city of Qingzhou, the entire Qingzhou has been handed over to the Xiao family, while Gaizhou, under the auspices of Lanshan, has struggled to support it. He thought that Qingzhou was a side support, and his eldest son Qin Kaiyuan was recalled. Qingzhou's defense was handed over to Hu Zequan, the only bright spot in this defeat.

The situation in the Central Plains was changing, but Li Qing, who was in Luzhou, was in a hurry, changing horses without changing people, and hurried from Luzhou back to Dingzhou Houfu. His wife, Princess Qingcheng of Dachu, was about to give birth.

No matter what will happen to the relationship with Qingcheng in the future, the child in her stomach is her own seed. In this era, it is a hell of a gate for a woman to have a child, so Li Qing can't help but be in a hurry.

Stepping into the Zhenxihou's Mansion in a hurry, Li Qing didn't care about the dust and dust all over his body. He looked at Shang Haibo who came up to him with a smile on his face, and asked eagerly, "How is it? Is the princess safe, is the child safe?"

Shang Haibo bowed to the ground, "Congratulations to Commander, congratulations to Commander, the princess gave birth to a baby yesterday, Commander has great blessings, but this time he has both sons and daughters!"

Li Qing was overjoyed, "What did you say? Qingcheng actually gave birth to twins? One boy and one girl, twins?" The joy was beyond words.

Shang Haibo was slightly taken aback, the words of the commander-in-chief must have been too blatant, Longfeng is not allowed to talk nonsense, even if everyone in the house understands it, they can't say it so ostentatiously, fortunately at this time There were no outsiders either, "Marshal, it's exactly one son and one daughter!" Qingcheng gave birth to a son, and Shang Haibo's long-term worries were mostly gone, and the joy in his heart came from the heart.

"Mr. Thank you!" Li Qing left a sentence and walked towards the inner courtyard.

The maid and servant woman in the inner courtyard suddenly saw Li Qing coming in, and was about to be greeted, Li Qing waved his hand to signal them to be silent, and went to Qingcheng's room by himself, opened the door and walked in, Qingcheng, who had just given birth, was lying on the big bed. On the bed, she was sleeping soundly, but in front of the big bed, there were two cradles. A palace lady was sitting beside her, shaking the cradle gently. She was surprised when she saw Li Qing coming in. Li Qing smiled. He waved to her, pointed to the door, and signaled her to go out.

Walking to the cradle, Li Qing bent down, but saw that the dolls of the two pink children were tightly wrapped, and their faces were about eight or nine points alike, but it was impossible to tell which one was the son and which one was the cradle. daughter.He stretched out his hand to touch the two cute little faces, but just stretched out his hand, but retracted it, seeing the two pink and tender faces, don't hurt them with his callused hands.

Sitting on the side of the bed, looking at Qingcheng who only showed her face outside the quilt, but she has lost a lot of weight, she couldn't help feeling distressed, and stretched out her hand to gently rub her face.

Qingcheng woke up suddenly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Li Qingzheng looking at her with a smile. She couldn't help being startled, struggling to sit up, Li Qing quickly pressed down, "Lie down, I just gave birth yesterday, don't you want to die?" ?”

"Marshal, I thought you wouldn't come back for a while?" Qingcheng whispered.

"What nonsense, you have a baby, how can I not come back, let alone a big victory at the front line, even if it is a big defeat, I will definitely come back!" Li Qingwen said.

Qingcheng stared at Li Qing intently, Li Qing said with a smile: "Why, I've only been away for a few days, maybe I've changed my appearance, can you recognize me?"

Qingcheng didn't make a sound, but stretched out a hand from under the quilt, tightly holding Li Qing's big hand, but turned her face to one side, and two lines of tears flowed out involuntarily.
