Watching the ox cart in Ashen and Duan Yunjie slowly leave, Duan Fang slowly followed behind him on a horse, Xu Ping felt lost.

The sun in the sky is round and white, and the sun is bright but not warm. The bamboo forest on the roadside is still green, and the dead leaves that stretch out from time to time exudes a kind of winter bleakness.

Xu Ping turned around and returned to the yamen with ease.

He always felt full of passion and ambition, but Duan Yunjie said that he would let him destroy Jiaozhi, but Xu Ping could not nod. Jiaozhi was no problem, but Jiaozhi, Xu Ping really didn't count, so how could he answer?

He remembered Duan Yunjie's helplessness last night: "You think I won't ask you for any military and national affairs, because I am a sensible woman. But I just want to ask and listen to your answer."

"I can only say that I remember it in my heart, but I can't answer it. If one day I really destroy Jiaozhi, it must be because you have told me like this, but it is definitely not just because you have told me."

The withered and yellow fallen leaves flipped on the ground, confused and clueless.

The winter in Lingnan may not be as cold as the Central Plains, but this feeling of bleakness and solemnity is no different.

Spring is born, summer is raised, autumn is harvested, winter is the main killer, Xu Ping has stood his footsteps and looked at the direction of Liangzhou to the east.

Sometimes Xu Ping feels like a diligent spider, seemingly majestic and roaming everywhere, but in fact he has been in a big net without realizing it.

Spiders do not have the courage to break the web, but they can swallow prey that has been entangled on the web for a long time.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month of the Ming Dao year, on the day of Dingwei, Sang Yi counterattacked Guangyuanzhou reinforcements outside Qiyuanzhou, captured Nanya King Nong Zhicong, and killed more than 200 people. The rest of them broke out.

On the same day, Silangzhou raised troops to rebel against Guangyuanzhou and expelled the local Nong family.

The next day, Tianzhou sent troops to attack Guangyuanzhou, and the troops arrived at Wuweidong.

At this point, the situation in Guangyuan Prefecture was gone, and we were just waiting for Sang Yi's army to capture and kill the thief's head.

Although Guangyuanzhou was in great turmoil in Yongzhou and Jiaozhi and Dali, it had not posed a threat to the mainland of the Song Dynasty and there was not much discussion in the court. To avoid accidents, Xu Ping told Sang Yi that except for the brothers Huang Shimi and Huang Wei who tried to capture Ming Zhengdian and punished him as much as possible, the others were not detained in life. Due to the memories of his previous life, Xu Ping also specifically told him to pay attention to a nine-year-old child named Nong Zhigao and not let him escape.

At the same time, Jiaozhi's troops who assisted Jiadong also arrived one after another, and the focus of the war moved to the eastern front.

A team of Jiaozhi soldiers were building tents by the Qiongqi River.

A strong man with half his arms cursed while pulling the rope: "Zhi Ma, let's help Jiadong, but sent us to this place where there is no village in front and no shop behind! Look at the other side of the river, there is a village not far from the river. Why not let us live there!"

Another said lazyly: "Stop talking, Magistrate A was scared by the Song Dynasty opposite, saying that Beiliangzhou was enthroned by the Song Dynasty, so don't tease it easily."

"Don't let her mother's fart!" the shirtless man cursed hatefully, "He lives in the yamen and eats good wine and meat every day. The beautiful lady hugged us, making us suffer, and even saying such nonsense!"

"Are you afraid of being a royal relative?"

"Damn it, these people are the least brave! For example, in previous years, we also came to Jiadong. They all went to the territory of the Song Dynasty, robbed money and food, men robbed sellers, women robbed sleep, when will they be afraid of them? Now, we slept in the wilderness and we are not allowed to cross the river!"

Another man clapped his hands: "Second brother, take a break, let's sit down and talk."

The two sat down by the river, and the man continued to say, "If you don't let the river cross, then it's just a river. Jiadong is a local snake here. If you offend it, you won't have any good results."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the Qiongqi River in front of him: "Second brother, do you know where the Qiongqi River comes from? Where does it flow?"

"From Luzhou, it flows to Menzhou, and finally to Qiyuanzhou. Wuhuang, what are you asking about this?"

"Come on! Second brother, look, we are just a river. We can go up to Luzhou and down to Menzhou. They are all the territory of the Song Dynasty, and we can also rob them! I heard that there are cavalry in Menzhou, so we don't provoke them, but Luzhou doesn't! I don't believe it anymore. There are so many soldiers in the Song Dynasty, and we can set up defenses everywhere!"

The second brother lowered his head and thought for a while, looked up at Goro, and patted his shoulder hard: "You guy is usually so nasty, but I just like your bad spirit!"

After saying that, he stood up and looked around. Seeing that the other local soldiers around him didn't pay attention to them, he said to Wu Huang who was sitting on the ground: "Get up, less than five miles along the river is in Luzhou. There must be villages and towns by the river. Let's go there to grab some money to make a fortune, why are you still poor here?"

Goro stood up and patted his butt: "Second brother, we can't do this, so why not call a few close friends and make a fortune together!"

"It's decided, let's go and greet three of us! Goro, I tell you, sugarcane is sweet when you first taste it, your tone is important. Don't make it known to everyone, we will be fine! We will call three of us each, and we can't let one more person know!"

Goro agreed and went to collect people separately with his second brother.

These people were used to snatching them everywhere. When they heard such good things, mosquitoes felt blood. They responded with a hundred times. In just a moment, they gathered up eight people and made excuses to leave the station.

In the evening, the eight people returned to the station drunk after eating and drinking, carrying the stolen cloth and satin on their bodies, and the others turned red when they saw it.

Before dawn, the main general of this team recruited people and stopped tents. He took his subordinates to the nearest village and town under Luzhou.

On December 12th, on the day of Jiyou, the cold weather was invaded and plundered Luzhou.

Han Zong was in charge of Ningming Town and presided over the retreat of officials and people in Luzhou, Siling Prefecture and Shixi Prefecture. As the saying goes, it is difficult to leave homeland, and there are always people who are reluctant to give birth to their own land and would rather sprinkle blood there.

At the Jiadong Yamen, Jia Jirong stared at Lord Ding Dong and yelled: "You are so brave, why can you indulge your men to go out for plunder! Haven't you told you a long time ago to guard the Qiongqi River?"

Lord Ding Dong said slowly: "Yanei, if you ask me to guard me, I will guard me, the wilderness, my tribe members eat and drink! I will give you some face when you come out of the prefectural state, is it Yanei? Your face is not enough."

Jia Jirong stared at Lord Ding Dong and paused word by word: "My father is not in good health, I am the one who is in charge of Jia Dong now!"

Lord Ding Dong stood up and sneered: "Then you make the decision slowly in this prefecture city. We have no time to serve here! The area of ​​Luzhou and Siling Prefecture is obviously empty, and the Song army ran away without a trace before they met. This is clearly showing that it is obvious that you are scaring you here in Menzhou. Only those who are stupid as a young man will be fooled by such an obvious trick!"

When he walked to the door, Lord Ding Dong turned around and said, "We came to Jiadong to make a fortune, not to suffer! In the past few days, not only here, but also from other reinforcements from other prefectures will send troops to Luzhou. Yanei, you have a lot of money and food in Jiadong and I don't care if you don't care about it, don't block our wealth!"
