Horse on the World

Chapter 86 In Progress

On the city of Fuyuan Fortress, it was full of joy, decorated with lights and festoons. Some dilapidated towers and fortresses were hung with red and green. On the city walls, war drums were hung with colored silk. The drummers also wore red clothes and red hats. The big guys are used to wearing battle robes, and when they suddenly put on this kind of clothes, they are all twisted left and right, very uncomfortable.

All the gentry from Fuyuan were invited to welcome Xiao Yuanshan, the commander of the Dingzhou Army, and Fang Wenshan, the magistrate of Dingzhou. The Chinese military camp has already set out for the Fuyuan Fortress, and it is expected to arrive at noon today.

Fang Wenhai, a wealthy man in Yiling, and his son Fang Jiahao were also invited. At this time, there were quite a few gentry gathered around them, all whispering in low voices, and they didn't know what they were talking about.Fang Wenhai looked sideways at Li Qing who was upstairs in the main tower, with a sneer on his face, you look good today.His [-] miners were conscripted by Li Qing, and after one battle, most of them were lost. The remaining [-] people are still detained by Li Qing, and troubles broke out in the mine one after another. In a short period of time, several people died Lu Yiming, magistrate of Fuyuan County, took the opportunity to send a group of yamen servants to Yiling Iron Mine. If he still doesn't understand what Li Qing wants to do, then Fang Wenhai really doesn't have to mess around.You want to seek our Fang family's iron mine, I'm afraid that if you can't swallow it, you will choke to death.

When Li Qing turned his head, he happened to meet Fang Wenhai's sneering face, and he immediately responded with a bright smile, but said in his heart: "Smile, laugh, wait a while, you won't be able to laugh anymore."

Li Qing was wearing a brand-new official robe today, and Qingfeng specially washed and dressed him, which made Li Qing, who was already very good looking, more free and easy, independent from the tall tower, quite a bit of a glance little taste.Yang Yidao, Tang Hu and other personal guards stood a few meters behind Li Qing, looking around vigilantly. Although they were on their own territory, they didn't want to relax in the slightest, because they all knew that What kind of crisis is hidden in today's seemingly peaceful world of singing and dancing.

Li Qing gazed into the distance, the sentries of Xiao Yuanshan's Chinese military camp were galloping towards the Fuyuan Fort one after another, reporting loudly to Li Qing the current location of the Chinese military camp, in fact Li Qing didn't care about this at all, he was Looking forward to Shang Haibo's return, in fact, Li Qing did not want him to go, this mission actually risked his life, if Lu Dalinyu was loyal to Xiao Yuanshan, then he would basically never come back after this trip.But Shang Haibo insisted that he had to handle this matter himself, because this matter was too important, and if there was any mistake, there would be blood in Fuyuan City.

Li Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, both plans have been prepared, just waiting for the news from Shang Haibo, the eight thousand elites are now ready to fight, if Lu Dalin does not turn around, they will encircle and wipe out Xiao Yuanshan's Chinese army camp under the city, On the contrary, these eight thousand elites will defend the Fuyuan Fortress to the death, and at the same time spread the news, eliminate Xiao Yuanshan's dissidents, and spread the news of killing and poking heroes throughout the country, attracting external pressure.The spies of the Statistics and Investigation Department all carried stacks of notices, led their horses and gathered in the Investigation Department, and waited for an order, then got on their horses and galloped away to their respective targets.

In the distance, a road of smoke and dust was stirred up, Li Qing had a good eye, and at a glance, he saw that the group of people was Shang Haibo accompanied by Guo Shanfeng, and his heart was half relieved, no matter how he talked with Lu Dalin, at least My own people came back safely.When he was getting closer, Li Qing saw that Lu Dabing was also in the cavalry formation, and at this moment, his heart was completely in his stomach. When Lu Dabing came here, he had naturally expressed Lu Dalin's attitude. With a breath, I realized that I was really nervous.

Smilingly, he glanced at Fang Wenhai who was talking excitedly with the gentry below, "Come on, after I clean up Xiao Yuanshan, it will be your turn, haha!"

Looking back at the soldiers guarding the top of the city, he couldn't help laughing. These people were lightly wounded temporarily caught from among the wounded. They were either limping or hanging their arms, or their heads would be wrapped in rice dumplings. Normally, even though they put on new uniforms, these people tried their best to show their heroic spirit, but this appearance was really not good, and it was a bit incompatible with the festive atmosphere in the arena.

Presumably the waves of scouts who rushed over had reported the actual situation here to Xiao Yuanshan, giving him the last reassurance, Li Qing thought to himself.

Shang Haibo and his party ran up the tower, Li Qing gave Shang Haibo a slight signal with his gaze, then walked up to Lu Dabing and gave him a deep bow, Lu Dabing hurriedly stepped forward and held Li Qing, "General Li, this is What are you doing, isn't this killing me, Da Bing Lu?" Although Da Bing Lu is just a pure martial artist, after the twilight of last night and this morning, he also understands that from now on, his brother will follow this young general in front of him. Now, although the other party is just like himself, a general, but it won't be long before Dingzhou will belong to the other party.

"My bow is to thank Brother Ling for his deep understanding of righteousness and bringing peace to millions of people in Dingzhou and avoiding the disaster of war." Li Qing said solemnly, "If it wasn't for Brother Ling's move, I think today's Fuyuan will surely be destroyed. Blood flowed like a river, and there were countless corpses."

Lu Dabing returned the salute with clasped fists: "Xiao Yuanshan's move is outraged by the heavens and the people. How can I, a brother of the Lu family, be willing to join forces with him? Besides, my brother is a native of Dingzhou. It has always been our ideal to let the people live and work in peace. I hope to put it on Xiao Yuanshan, but what I get is only disappointment, I hope the general can lead us to victory in the future."

Li Qing punched him heavily on the chest with a smile, and said, "But please wait and see. Brother Lu, it's not convenient for you to show up now, so you should go back to the General's Mansion to rest first."

Seeing Lu Dabing leave with his fists in his arms, accompanied by Tang Hu, he walked towards the general's mansion, Li Qing turned to Shang Haibo, "Mr. Shang is working hard!"

"A matter of business!" Shang Haibo said with a smile: "Vice General Lu's Dingzhou iron cavalry will slowly approach Fuyuan. After Xiao Yuanshan's Chinese army camp arrives, they will deploy defenses on the periphery to prevent Xiao Yuanshan from breaking through. , we have to catch them all, and none of them can let them escape."

"Excellent!" Li Qing clapped his palms and praised, "This way we can perfectly block the news. After capturing Xiao Yuanshan, we can then lure Dai Che and his subordinates. In this way, Dingzhou will be completely in our hands."

Fifty miles away from Fuyuan, Xiao Yuanshan's Chinese army camp was rushing towards Fuyuan. The news of the Fuyuan Fortress was continuously sent back by waves of sentries. Hearing that Fuyuan was as expected, there were only a few remnants and defeated soldiers. Not even a single intact soldier could be found, Xiao Yuanshan stroked his beard and laughed, this battle ensured that Bayar would not be able to attack Dingzhou for at least a year, and also removed a nail in his eye, killing two birds with one stone, even more rare The most important thing is that his own strength is basically intact, and with another year of accumulation and development, he should have the power to fight Bayar.

"Li Qing is so rude, the commander came to Fuyuan, he should leave the city to greet him, but he actually sits in Fuyuan in front of him." A personal guard said indignantly.

Xiao Yuanshan said with a smile: "It's okay, General Li Qing has made such great achievements, he should be a little proud."

Zhizhou Fang Wenshan's face is not very good-looking, he already knows that Li Qing is dealing with Yiling Fang Wenhai, Xiao Yuanshan is not clear about the tricks in Yiling Iron Mine, but he knows everything, in case Li Qing finds out something However, the Fang family fell headlong into the pit, and even if they got up, they would have to shed three layers of skin, which is why he insisted on following Xiao Yuanshan to come, the banner he raised was of course representing the state to condolence to the meritorious officials.

"Xiao Shuai, is it necessary to go through so much trouble? You summoned him to the military mansion with one order, and three or five strong men took him down." Fang Wenshan said dissatisfiedly.

Xiao Yuanshan shook his head, "This matter must be done quickly, to make the world think that Li Qing is defending against the barbarian bandits, defeated and killed, and not me. The timing must be met, otherwise everything will be lost." After procrastinating for a long time, it is not easy to kill Li Qing. Think about it, he made such a great contribution this time, and last year he made a surprise attack on Angu, that was when we were all dead in Dingzhou Ah, with all these credits, do you think he will still be just a general? The bigger his official position, the greater the harm. This time I have such a good opportunity, I must seize it. It is not difficult to kill him, but it is difficult. It’s hard to deceive people! Li Qing is not a fool, do you think he will go if I give a military order, he will delay, the war has just been decided, there are too many reasons to delay, but we really can’t delay.”

Fang Wenshan nodded and said yes, Li Qing was not an ordinary general, standing behind him was a huge family with great energy, without a single reason, it was really impossible for him to do this.

"Marshal, are you sure? I don't think Li Qing won't guard against us, right?" Fang Wenshan was a little worried.

"No problem!" Xiao Yuanshan said triumphantly, "I'm afraid he never expected that I would use such a thunderous method. At this time, Lu Dalin's [-] cavalry were already on their way here, and when we reached Fuyuan, they also They will arrive. With such a strong force, and by surprise, Li Qing's more than a thousand remnants are all wounded, how many waves can they cause." Clenching his fists suddenly, "It's just a drum!"
