Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 30 King Qi's Winning

Find a mountain road:

"King Qi, we're almost here!" A knight reported while riding his horse fast.

"How far is it?" Li Yuanji asked the scouts loudly.

"It's less than five miles away! That's where the smoke is coming from in the distance!"

"Smoke?! It's over!" Li Yuanji said angrily, and there was another burst of whipping, and the horse started to run fast in pain.A group of cavalry, about 700 people galloped past.

"Sili! Sanli! Erli... I saw it..." Li Yuanji murmured silently in his heart, almost thinking about the countermeasures after the grain and grass were robbed.

After all, this time he is in charge of the logistics, and he is the one to look for if there is a problem, and he can only push Liu Zan out!As for Xu Qing, how could he live under the chaos, and it would be cheaper for him to die. If he surrendered and fled, he would not be at peace for the rest of his life.

"King Qi, the situation doesn't seem right, you see the tents are still there..." said a cavalryman.

"Those burnt ones look like corpses!" Another cavalryman also said, implying that the officer and army won, and Liu Heita will not burn the corpses for you!
"Hmm..." Li Yuanji pondered, thinking whether he should go over to see if it was the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, or Li Shimin's plan to take advantage of the rebellious soldiers to murder him, and how risky it was.

Just at this time, a group of soldiers with gray hair came out from Xu Qing's barracks. They had experienced years and fought many battles.

It's just that Li You won't be afraid anymore, he looks coldly at a group of soldiers running up, holding the hilt of his sword to prevent any changes.

"Who's here?" It wasn't King Qi who spoke, but Jian Yang...

"Bold, His Royal Highness Qi Wang is here, and he still doesn't kneel down!"

Jian Yang immediately led all the soldiers to salute and said: "King Rong of Qi, Liu Heitai's leopard General Liu two thousand came to attack the grain and grass, and was defeated by our army bravely. The soldiers went out to clean up the remnants. There was an order before going, and no one was allowed to enter our barracks..."

"Even I can't get in?" Li Yuanji pretended to be angry when he heard this. In fact, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was probably also happy. After all, the food and grass were not burned.

"I'm sorry, King Qi forgives the crime, I dare not disobey the military order..." Jian Yang replied.

"You, you are so courageous!" Li Yuanji was not angry, but the cavalrymen beside him were all very angry. Wherever King Qi went, they were all invited in by people holding him in his arms?

"Forget it, here I see the legacy of Xiliu Camp." Li Yuanji pressed his hands, Xiliu Camp is an allusion to the Western Han Dynasty, Zhou Bo stationed troops in Xiliu, and the emperor was not allowed to enter without orders.King Qi is also not an easy person, the royal family, which one is easier?
Jian Yang led his soldiers and waited for a long while with King Qi, and a group of cavalry appeared in the distance, with three or four heads hanging on each horse, walking slowly.This is the cavalry that Xu Qing brought out. After all the cavalry appeared, hundreds of infantry appeared, covered in blood, supporting the wounded soldiers and walking slowly.There are many straightforward men in the army, and they are all experienced men. Seeing that Xu Qing led some old and weak soldiers to fight so far, and now he brought back such mighty soldiers, they were all moved, and they felt a lot of admiration in their hearts.

Li Yuanji rode forward to greet him, dozens of cavalry followed him automatically, another fast horse was separated from Li You's cavalry, and went to inform Xu Qing.

"Xu Qing, Lieutenant of the Battalion, pays homage to the King of Qi..." With someone's quick notice, Xu Qing didn't do anything else, and honestly knelt down on one knee.

"That's right. With some old and weak soldiers, you can win more with less. Colonel Xu is so brave..." Li Yuanji didn't mention that he couldn't enter the barracks.

"The last general dare not. I am young and have little plan. Thanks to the support of the veterans under the tent and the efforts of the soldiers, I did not lose the food and grass." Xu Qing said in a deep voice, which made Ma Jinhu Jiu burst into tears of gratitude , finally someone publicly affirmed their role.

"Hmm..." Li Yuanji fell silent, he knew that this was Xu Qing's push.

"King Qi, here is the head of Liu, the bandit leader and leopard. In this battle, he wiped out 400 enemies, captured [-] people, and self-injured [-] people. The team is Jianyang, Ma Jin, and Hu Jiu have military exploits."

"Okay, the king will remember their achievements..."; Li Yuanji was very happy, because this time, no matter whether it was a success or a failure, he was suspected of making trouble in the rear, and now it has become a straggler raid The food team was defeated by the guards. Li You thought for a while and said, "However, in my opinion, the biggest credit lies in your proper use of troops and people. I will record this credit for you."

In this way, isn't it because the king of Qi Li Yuanji chose the right people, although there will inevitably be bandits in the rear, but the food road is safe and stable?And where did the bandits come from?Naturally, it was Li Shimin's improper defense!
"Xu Qing, quickly organize the battlefield and set off immediately. I will go to Anyang with you..." Li Yuanji said with a smile.

"Here!" Xu Qing's mind was spinning, it's over, Li Yuanji is going to win me over, and he and Yuanji went to Anyang Daying, what would Li Shimin think when he saw it?He naturally wanted me to wear the same pants as King Qi. Li Shimin was a good emperor, but he was also cruel if he couldn't stand it.

The gods fight, and the little ghost suffers. Li You and Li Shimin cannot afford to offend Xu Qing, so we can only wait and see, Xu Qing thought.

Back at the camp, the enemy's corpses were burned, and the teammates dug a hole to bury them. Everyone had a lost breakfast, and Xu Qing didn't even eat breakfast. It smells like meat, but the smell is disgusting.

400 soldiers, Xu Qing personally selected soldiers on the school field four days ago, with a light touch of his finger, it was almost decided that these people would die here.Xu Qing can bear to kill the enemy himself, but this small action caused four hundred people to die, how can this be comfortable.

As soon as he was successful, Xu Qing didn't want to take the credit now, because he just followed the crowd to pick up a few heads, and finally chopped off the leopard Liu's head symbolically.He just wants to leave, leave quickly, end the war quickly!
Kindness does not hold soldiers.

"Captain Xu, King Qi told you to come over..." Jian Yang ran into Xu Qing's tent and said.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Xu Qing calmed down and went to meet King Qi with Jian Yang, but his eyes were still red.

"Xu...Lieutenant Xu, is this your first time fighting?" Seeing Xu Qing's red eyes, Li Yuanji couldn't help asking playfully.

"No, I have fought with General Liu Zan before, but I have never fought like this." Xu Qing replied.

Li Yuanji paused: "I heard that you invented the method of making ice with saltpeter? After this method was presented, my father is very happy..."

"Yes, I thought of it unintentionally..." Xu Qing thought, why did you bring this up.

"I don't know if Captain Xu is willing to work under my tent?" Li Yuanji asked out of nowhere an invitation.

Xu Qing lowered his head and turned around, efficiency?Don't be kidding, you, King Qi, can't protect yourself. If you work for you, why don't you jump into the fire by yourself?reject?Don't be kidding, who is King Qi? Now he is three or four years away from death, so now he is still a great god, a little ghost bravely fighting a great god?Xu Qing thought for a moment and chose a pertinent answer:

"The last general is willing to be loyal to the country!"

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, but the reaction is slow..." Qi Wang laughed, making people think he was teasing Xu Qing, but he didn't know the truth.Seeing this, Xu Qing was relieved, it seemed that he had passed the test.

"Xu Qing listened to the order and quickly led the soldiers to press the grain and grass to the Anyang camp!" Li Yuanji said seriously.
