"hehe!"

Wei Yunqi couldn't help laughing, "The Bohai Association can be said to have no choice but to win over the general. Even the Prince of Beihai has to give the general. Ten thousand taels of gold, ten thousand hectares of land, and the entire Beihai County as a fief, the Bohai Association is really a big deal!"

Zhang Xuan sneered, "Don't you think Bohai is painting cakes? Who does Beihai County belong to now? They can give out ten thousand hectares of land? Not to mention ten thousand taels of gold, I'm afraid they won't even give me a hundred taels of gold now. ▲∴▲∴,"

Wei Yunqi nodded, "But if I didn't arrive in time just now, would the general think of these under the pomegranate skirt?"

Zhang Xuan was silent, Wei Yunqi revealed the truth with one sentence. Gao Hui knew very well that their short-selling promises. In order not to let her figure this out, she decided to seduce herself and sign a contract for her to sell herself when she was confused.

Wei Yunqi pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I think their real target is not the general, but the general."

"Why did sir say that?"

"I can't explain clearly, a kind of intuition. After all, Qi County and Beihai County are controlled by the commander, so the commander has real military power. I feel that the general is just a bridge for them."

Zhang Xuan nodded silently. He also felt that Bohai would give him such heavy conditions, which was a bit unsuitable for Zhang Xuan's identity. It was almost the same for Zhang Xutuo.

"Well, sir, how should I deal with Bohai?"

Wei Yunqi stroked his beard and smiled: "The Bohai Association's power has grown rapidly in the past two years. I advise the general to try not to offend them. He can be a false compromising person and cooperate, but not to surrender. As long as the general grasps this principle, I think there should be no problem."

"Sir, right, Zhang Xuan has been taught."

Just as Zhang Xuan and Wei Yunqi were whispering to discuss the Bohai Association, a dark shadow was hidden behind the beam on the roof next to them.

The black shadow has a slim figure and is tightly attached to the wall. There is no abnormality in the roof from below. Zhang Xuan’s room is even more invisible to the roof next door, but the conversation between Zhang Xuan and Wei Yunqi can be clearly heard in the place where the black shadow hides.

......

After staying in Gaomi County for three days, Zhang Xuan basically completed the dismissal of prisoners of war. Hundreds of thousands of refugees also embarked on the road to return home one after another. Most of them were locals in Gaomi County. Once they were free and basic survival guarantees, everyone was impatient to return to their homes.

There are also a large number of trivial matters to be resolved by Wei Yunqi and local governments. Zhang Xuan left behind 300 soldiers to assist Wei Yunqi. He led the remaining troops to Donglai County to participate in the bandit suppression campaign in Donglai County.

Donglai County is the easternmost corner of today's Shandong Peninsula. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is adjacent to Gaomi County and Beihai County. The old nest of the thief Zuo Xiaoyou, Sakgou Mountain, is located in the middle of Donglai County. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, stretching for hundreds of miles. More than 100,000 thieves are hiding in the mountains.

Since Donglai County is not large in population and it is difficult to support more than 100,000 troops by looting alone, the large areas of farmland around Sanggou Mountain are actually farmed by the thief army. In addition, they also own hundreds of fishing boats by the sea and fish a large number of fishing to supplement military rations.

Although Zuo Xiaoyou was brave but not resourceful, after hearing that the Sui army captured Gaomi County, he realized that once Meng Rang was destroyed, it would be his turn next. So despite his uncle Zuo Yunshan's hard persuasion, he resolutely led 20,000 troops to attack Beihai County, in an attempt to force Zhang Xutuo to retreat.

However, Zhang Xutuo had already ordered the general Qin Qiong to lead an army of 5,000 to guard the dangerous passes of Beihai County, and Zuo Xiaoyou's attack was fruitless. At this time, news came that Zhang Xutuo led the army northward, and Zuo Xiaoyou had to lead the army back to Donglai County.

At this time, outside a town called Wadangkou south of Donglai County, Zuo Xiaoyou led a 50,000 elite army to build a camp by a small river. Wadangkou is the intersection of the two official roads, east and west. The strategic location is extremely important.

Zuo Xiaoyou did not want to retreat to Shougou Mountain immediately. He did not want to put the war in his lair. Since the Sui army had not had many troops and only more than 10,000 people, Zuo Xiaoyou wanted to defeat Zhang Xutuo in one fell swoop. His army could sweep south and annex the entire Qingzhou. Zhang Xutuo's hard work in the south and north battle made him a wedding dress.

At this time, on a high ground about five miles south of the tile entrance, Qin Qiong led 5,000 troops to actively build a camp. The camp covers an area of ​​nearly 300 acres. The surrounding walls are made of soil and wood. They are a panel-style camp with a panel wall of two meters high and a wooden platform is built on it. Soldiers can patrol and defend the walls.

In addition to the strong walls of the camp, three wells were also dug in the camp to ensure the use of water for the army. In addition, a sentry tower was built every fifty steps around the camp. The tower was three meters high, and sentries were guarding day and night to prevent the thief army from raiding.

At this time, Zuo Xiaoyou stood on the pedal of the camp and looked at the wall-shaped camp that had been built by the Sui army from afar. He frowned and said to his uncle Zuo Yunshan with some dissatisfaction: "Why did my uncle dissuade me from attacking the enemy? Now they only have 5,000 people, and my troops are ten times more powerful than that of him. I can defeat the enemy in one battle and capture Qin Qiong alive. Why should my uncle stop him?"

Zuo Yunshan smiled and said, "The purpose of the king leading his army out of the mountain to expedition is to wipe out Zhang Xutuo's army and seize the entire Qingzhou. If Qin Qiong is defeated too early, I am worried that Zhang Xutuo will not enter Donglai County again, but will defend Beihai County to the death. This will destroy the king's entire plan. If the king is not patient, he will be in trouble with his plan!"

Although Zuo Yunshan said something very reasonable, Zuo Xiaoyou was still uncomfortable. He felt that he had lost a good fighter opportunity. He retorted speechlessly, so he had to snort heavily and quickly walked towards his big tent.

Zuo Yunshan looked at the back of his clan nephew and walked away, shook his head secretly. Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou becoming more and more irritable, he could hardly stop him. I hope Zhang Xutuo's army will arrive as soon as possible!

At this moment, a whistleman rushed over from a distance and shouted loudly under the wall: "Military advisor, Zhang Xutuo's army has arrived!"

After two days of rapid march, Zhang Xutuo led an army of 10,000 to finally arrive at the Sui army camp at Wadangkou. The gate was wide open. The teeth general Qin Qiong came out, and knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I am not in charge of Qin Qiong to meet the general!"

"Thank you General Qin!"

Zhang Xutuo turned over and dismounted and asked, "What's the situation now? Have you fought with the thief army?"

"Report to the general, before fighting with the bandits, the bandits are now stationed five miles away."

Zhang Xutuo was quite interested and smiled and said, "Zuo Xiaoyou is actually stationed in the camp, it's rare! Let's take a look!"

He quickly walked into the camp, accompanied by Qin Qiong and the generals, walked up to the wooden platform of the camp wall. In the distance, you could clearly see Zuo Xiaoyou's camp, covering an area of ​​1,000 acres, with flags fluttering in the camp, and the momentum was spectacular.

Qin Qiong laughed in a low voice and said, "When Beizhi was building a camp, I found that they wanted to send troops to attack several times, but in the end they did not attack. It was strange that Beizhi successfully built a good camp!"

"Not surprising at all!"

Zhang Xutuo smiled and said, "With money, you can make the devil push the grind, and Zuo Xiaoyou never dreamed that there was already someone around him who had ulterior motives."

Qin Qiong was slightly stunned. Who was the coach talking about?

.........

On the afternoon of the afternoon when Zhang Xutuo arrived at the entrance of the Wa, Zuo Xiaoyou personally led an army of 5,000 people to the front of the Sui army camp. Zuo Xiaoyou held a large iron spear in his hand, rode on a horse to show off his power, shouted loudly, and challenged the Sui army.

"You are just a group of native dogs. Grandpa comes to kill the dogs, wash your neck and get out!"

On the wall of the camp, Luo Shixin was so angry that his eyes were piping fire, and his fists were clattering. He suddenly roared and turned around and ran towards the gate of the camp. Seeing that the situation was not good, the soldiers immediately ran to report to the commander.

When Luo Shixin urged the horse to run to the gate of the camp, Zhang Xutuo was already waiting for him at the gate of the camp. Zhang Xutuo's eyes were too dark and his face was very serious.

Luo Shixin had no choice but to turn over and dismount, clasped his fists and said, "I requested to go to war. If Zuo Xiaoyou comes back from his head, I will be willing to accept military law."

Zhang Xutuo whipped at Luo Shixin a few times, and ordered, "Drag it down and fight thirty military sticks!"

Several military soldiers raised Luo Shixin and left, but Luo Shixin did not dare to argue. He had never seen the general so angry, and he was so scared that he was silent. The soldiers beat Luo Shixin with sticks and beat him. After a moment of thirty sticks, Zhang Xutuo said coldly: "Who dares to fight without authorization? Use military law to judge the beheading!"

He turned around and rushed back to the tent angrily, and Luo Shixin was also sent back to his own tent. At this time, Qin Qiong walked into the tent and smiled and said, "Why did you fall down before you succeed in your army?"

Luo Shixin said with shame: "Brother, don't laugh at me!"

"I'm not here to joke with you, I'm just here to see you, how is it? Are you seriously injured?"

"Fortunately, the soldiers are very cautious. It will be fine when the blood stasis fades, at most three or four days!"

Qin Qiong nodded, sat beside him and said earnestly: "You are indeed a little reckless today. Zuo Xiaoyou led 5,000 troops to provoke him is just a bait. As long as we go to fight, he will definitely dispatch the entire army. We are short of troops and will be defeated in battle. The general can only hold on to his spirit and wait until the enemy soldiers retreat."

"But I just went to fight one-on-one. The situation was not good, so I retreated immediately, not to lead the army to fight with them."

Qin Qiong shook his head, "You can't help but arrive on the battlefield. You are brave enough and calm enough. Once you lose, will the general go to rescue? Once the general goes to rescue, the entire army will be dispatched. This is called moving the whole body with one move."

Luo Shixin sighed, "Brother is right, I know I'm wrong!"

Qin Qiong smiled again and said, "Although Zuo Xiaoyou's strategy is insufficient, he is good at leading troops. He is not as vicious as other bandits and oppressing good people. This person's army is still good at fighting, especially his 5,000 guards are all the original Sui soldiers, with strong combat power, no less than us, so the general is very cautious and will not easily send troops to fight the enemy. You must remember next time, if you violate the military law again, no one can protect you."

Luo Shixin nodded silently, and then Qin Qiong stood up and said goodbye, returning to Zhang Xutuo's commanding tent.

A soldier informed him. Qin Qiong walked into the tent and saw Zhang Xutuo standing in front of the map with his hands in his arms, staring at the map with a serious look. He did not look back and asked in a deep voice: "How is Shixin?"

Zhang Xutuo and Luo Shixin were both masters and disciples, and they were also like father and son. He ordered Luo Shixin to beat him to thirty military sticks, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Qin Qiong bowed and said, "You have reported to the general, the scholar has already realized that he is wrong."
