ps. Come up with today's update and get some votes for Qidian 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes, and they also give Qidian coins to vote. I beg everyone to support and appreciate it.

The summer has not yet begun during the season, but there is no spring here in Liangzhou, and it is hard to be hot at night.

Xu Ping sat alone in the pavilion in the backyard of the state yamen, thinking about the war, thinking about the details, and preventing himself from neglecting anything.

From the mouths of the captured soldiers, Xu Ping learned that the Jiaozhi chief general Li Fengxiao was killed, but his body had already turned into meat paste under the rain of stone shells. After all, he was a famous general. Xu Ping asked someone to pick up the corpse and avoid restraining it. He put it in a coffin and returned it to his family when he could return it to him.

After thinking about it, Xu Ping always felt that this battle had such a result. According to his original intention, he was to defend against the attack of the Jiaozhi people, survive the war, and calm down when the rainy season. At that time, his term of office had also come, and he returned to the capital safely to take on a new position. As for what would happen to Liangzhou in the future, naturally, the officials who took over will worry about it, and he had done enough.

The moon has not yet risen, the sky is full of stars, and the night is filled with long-lost tranquility.

Xu Ping looked at the stars in the sky and watched them blink at him constantly. Suddenly, he remembered the strange expression when Sang Yi left in the sky. A flash of inspiration in his mind, and finally he knew why he felt something was wrong.

Everything is stable, the goal is to defend Liangzhou, and I don’t want to destroy the Jiaozhi country.

How could I have such a thought

After a bitter smile, Xu Ping shook his head, why didn't he have such an idea?

It is normal to have this idea of ​​leading the army as a civil servant. However, most civil servants leading the army will have this idea. So what if you eliminate all the Jiaozhi soldiers and even destroy the country.

He is not a military general, and no matter how great his military achievements are, it cannot show how powerful he is. How can the civil servants' abilities be expressed by their military achievements? The abundant fields and food and the people are happy to work. This is what civil servants should do.

If it weren't for the memories of his previous life, Xu Ping wouldn't even have a strange feeling. Years of experience in a local official made him a typical civil servant in this era.

If you think about it carefully, the two biggest troubles of civil servants leading troops are: one is to pretend to understand and want to learn the masters in history books if you like to show off. You can always make some tricks to let the generals in the army make orders. The other is to have this mentality, and everything is to be stable. The first thing you think about is not to make mistakes, rather than expanding the results of the battle.

Of course, there are people who can overcome these two points. In addition, they have the ability to truly command troops to fight, so there are quite few people who combine these two advantages.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping suddenly stood up.

"Tan Hu"

"The humble job is here"

"Quick Horses passed our military order, ordering Han Daocheng to hold back the Jiaozhi army no matter what, and order inspector Sang and Zhang Rong to speed up the march. Even if they have to bear a certain amount of marching reduction, they must keep the Jiaozhi army."

"promise"

Tan Hu was about to leave, but Xu Ping called him again and said, "Let the messenger tell me what I am below to these three people, four thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry. For the defeated soldiers with less than 20,000 people in Jiaozhi, if the enemy cannot be wiped out north of the Fuliang River, they will be punished when they come back."

Tan Hu felt a little surprised. He didn't understand why Xu Ping suddenly gave such an order. In his impression, Xu Ping had no such impulse for several years. But after all, he didn't say anything and turned around and sent the order.

Watching Tan Hu leave, Xu Ping paced back and forth in the backyard garden covered by the faint starlight, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time. After six years of experience in local officials, he became too many, although many things beyond the times were brought to Yongzhou. Unconsciously, he slowly dissolved into the bureaucratic system of this era.

It is hard to say whether this is good or bad. After all, being an official just wants an identity and wanting to have a comfortable life in this world. But when you are in your position, you have to do your best to play this role well.

Tan Hu came back and reported his life, Xu Ping said: "Please clean up, follow me out of the valley to the south tomorrow, and catch up with Sang Zhao and inspectors. The battle in Liangzhou has been tossing for a whole winter, and the final outcome cannot be sloppy."

Tan Hu hesitated and said, "Officials. There are not many soldiers in Liangzhou City now. If you leave the city, there are not many people who can be taken out. After all, it is Jiaozhi territory, so it is better to be careful."

"What are you careful about? Jiaozhi defeated soldiers were chased by inspector Sang. Some local officials around me, I will take two thousand men and horses to let Lu Fang order two thousand men. You bring all the soldiers with you and stay with me. Jiaozhi can go."

Seeing that Xu Ping had made up his mind, Tan Hu still took the order even though he didn't know why this change occurred. Speaking of which, for so many years in Yongzhou, Tan Hu was the closest person around Xu Ping, and he was used to being cautious.

The red sun sets westward, and the surrounding hills were covered with gold edges. The personal soldiers with him said to Li Renyi: "Master, let's rest here for a night. I'll leave Liangzhou's territory tomorrow, but there are many Han people from the previous dynasty settled in Tangzhou ahead. Last time, the accident happened in the yamen, and the camp was robbed by the Chen family members not far ahead. We set out tomorrow morning and rushed there quickly."

Li Renyi nodded, got off the horse and sat down on the side of the road. The personal soldiers fetched water and drank it. Looking north, Li Renyi was still scared and asked his personal soldiers: "I don't know what the battle is going on behind us. Along the way, we have already left five thousand people one after another, and the Song army still chased each other."

The personal soldiers said vaguely: "Don't worry, the Song army is also chasing us. We have to repel our troops from behind before we can catch up. As long as we are not in chaos, we will reach the Fuliang River at most two days ahead. As long as we cross the river, we will not be afraid of the Song army pursuing the soldiers."

Li Renyi sighed and said nothing.

Now that the military situation is urgent, the commander will not order the camp. Anyway, the weather is hot, so I rested in the open air for a night and went on the road early in the morning. I will rest and wait until I crossed the river.

As the hills became farther and farther away from Liangzhou, the hills became lower and lower, and large plains began to appear, and from here they slowly began to enter the essence of Jiaozhi.

Although there are also large families and powerful people in the plains, they are no longer under the rule of local officials. For Li Renyi and others, it is much safer. Along the way, although the army retreated, some small teams of Jiaozhi soldiers who went out to collect food and grass were attacked by local officials. These local officials were as annoying as if they were biting their own flies.

Under the night, the exhausted Jiaozhi soldier lay on the grass in the open air, looking at the shining stars in the sky, thinking about his hometown in the south, and completely losing the courage to fight. He just wanted to cross the river quickly and go home quickly.

Not far south of these Jiaozhi soldiers camps, Gao Daquan and two thousand cavalry finally intercepted them. After sweeping across the north bank of the Fuliang River, Gao Daquan and his cavalry walked around Wu'ezhou in the northwest, rushed slowly, and finally came back.

It's about to be 515. I hope it can continue to hit the 515 red envelope list. By May 15, the red envelope rain can give back to readers and promote works. It's also love, and it will definitely be good and to be continued.
