Fan Zhixiang was alert and was the first to awaken among the local soldiers from Jiaozhi. When others were still rushing towards the Mingjiang line stupidly, he chose to return.

Unfortunately, in many cases, people in life are not smarter, but who is not the stupidest. The stupidest people are often unlucky, and the smartest people are the same.

As the first to return, Fan Zhixiang hit Gao Daquan's blocking line without preparation.

The sun hangs slanted in the west, like a white face, mocking Fan Zhixiang who came out of the Qiongqi River Valley.

Fan Zhixiang stepped out of the river valley and saw Gao Daquan riding on a horse not far away, wearing iron armor, holding a spear, and a white sun on his head. He felt that the sun was laughing at him.

Stopped, Fan Zhixiang thought for a while, waved his hand and called his confidant over, and said to him: "Go, go ahead and ask why the Song army blocked our way, and then said we were going back to Jiaozhi."

The confidant looked ahead. In the middle was the five hundred cavalry. One commanding infantry on both sides, and the two commanding cavalry in the distance were suppressed by another commanding cavalry. The other two commanding infantry formed a back formation. Thousands of people were scattered in front of the valley, and they could not see at first sight. Although they were silent, they were frightened.

The confidant said pitifully to Fan Zhixiang: "Lord, how can I ask about this situation?"

"What are you afraid of? The two countries are fighting each other, and the envoy is not killed! If you ask, come back, I have my own idea!"

Fan Zhixiang looked calm and asked his confidants to go as they were obedient.

This confidant is helpless, how can he not listen to the words of the master? He usually cares about food and drink, but he doesn't raise a son. He is originally raised to die, so he has to step forward with his teeth.

This man didn't have a horse and just ran to the army of thousands of people. It looked funny no matter how you looked.

Look at the fact that there were still a hundred steps away from the Song army. The confidant felt that the distance was almost the same. He was in a panic and wanted to stop, but hesitated whether his voice was bright enough.

At this moment, I heard a string sounding beside Gao Daquan.

The hesitant confidant panicked in his heart. He looked up and couldn't see clearly when facing the sun. He could only hear the screaming sound of breaking through the air, and then a severe pain in his chest.

Looking at the arrows stuck in my chest, I still trembled continuously. I fell to the ground and fell to the ground. I consciously saw the last time that the master was climbing onto the horse, turning his head and running into the valley.

The words were finished, and the war was about to meet each other, and as soon as the battle began, we could only kill the enemy.

Gao Daquan remembered what Xu Ping said to him, and told him clearly that as a leader of the side, he could only fight hard to kill the enemy, and no matter what negotiations or negotiations were related to him. Before the battle formation, the only condition for him to spare the enemy's life was that the enemy surrendered, and in addition, he could only share life and death with the enemy.

Seeing the enemy who had just left the valley running back to the valley in a mess, Gao Daquan did not respond. If the Song army did not enter the valley, if they could survive in the Yuzhou area, these Jiaozhi soldiers could stay in it until the war ended. Otherwise, they would go to the open ground outside the valley to face the rain of arrows from the Song army and hedge against the cavalry.

Xu Ping did not have that high awareness, so he allowed his limited troops to play hide-and-seek with the Jiaozhi Tumen in the mountains, just for a few Tuzhous that were not very crowded.

After Fan Zhixiang rushed back to Luzhou, he recruited leaders of various local soldiers to discuss the situation he faced and how to break through the blockade of the Song army outside the valley. For these thousands of Jiaozhi local soldiers, this task could not be discussed in a few days, and it would take ten days and half a month to gather people together. At that time, I didn’t know what it looked like outside the valley.

Li Qingcheng only felt his legs sore, and his eyes were blurred, but Xu Ping in the yamen was still busy and had no intention of seeing him.

People are the slaughter and I am the fish. Li Qingcheng has deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.

Until the sun set on the top of the mountain, the pale color faded and the blush began to appear, and the front of the yamen finally began to become cold.

The cool breeze in the evening blew on Li Qingcheng. He shivered, woke up, cheered up again, and looked at the yamen with his eyes.

Tan Hu left the yamen, looked at Li Qingcheng, whose legs began to bend, and his face turned pale, and smiled and said, "Li Zhizhou, thank you for your hard work outside. The official asked you to go in and talk."

"Thank you official, Xie Tie, it's not hard for a young man."

Tan Hu glanced at him and turned around to lead the way.

After standing for most of the afternoon, Li Qingcheng's legs were numb. Where could he walk? He trembled and moved step by step like an old woman.

Tan Hu looked back and said unhappily: "Magistrate, the official is very busy. Do you want to go until tomorrow when you walk like you? It is inconvenient today, so I will tell the official!"

"Convenient, convenient, of course today!"

Li Qingcheng said as he gritted his teeth and moved his steps tightly. The veins on his forehead burst out, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept flowing downwards.

After entering the yamen, the official hall was empty, with only two soldiers guarding the door.

Tan Hu walked around the official hall, entered the back yamen through the side door, and walked all the way to the small flower hall.

Xu Ping was drinking tea while looking at the document in his hand. He heard footsteps and looked up and saw that Tan Hu had brought Li Qingcheng in.

Putting down the document in his hand, Xu Ping signaled Tan Hu to guard it outside the door, and said to the embarrassed Li Qingcheng: "You are neglecting the magistrate, sit down."

Li Qingcheng smiled and said, "Where is a small place to sit in front of the officials?"

"Then stand and talk."

Xu Ping put down the teacup, turned around, looked at Li Qingcheng, and slowly spoke: "You are the governor of Liangzhou, who was granted the title of the Song Dynasty. You hold the official seal of my Song Dynasty, but you do things for the people of Jiaozhi. This is a great sin."

"The conscience of heaven and earth, officials, I can't disobey Jiadong, but I really don't say that I am doing things for the Jiaozhi people. My father has only prepared a position here for the past few years. We can't make any decisions about the affairs of the state. I am ashamed of the court's rewards, but I admit it, but I really don't say that I am doing things for Jiaozhi!"

Seeing Li Qingcheng crying, Xu Ping said: "The government army entered Liangzhou twice, but you didn't accept it. I am wronged to you. Do you know the crime?"

"The lower officials are aware of their crimes. The situation in Rongzhou is like this. I hope the officials will be considerate and be able to be lenient. I opened the city gate and welcomed the officials in. The two sons in Jiaozhi and Jiadong dared not think about it. I hope that the families who stayed in Liangzhou can let them live. The great kindness and virtue of the officials will be rewarded later!"

Xu Ping said: "Don't worry, no matter what, I will ensure that your family is safe."

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Xu Ping looked at Li Qingcheng for a while before asking, "I'll ask you, if you are given a chance, do you want to be an official from the Song Dynasty?"

"The official is joking. I know I have a serious sin, so why do I have a chance to be a new person?"

"Do I look like a joke?"

Li Qingcheng saw Xu Ping looking at him with a calm face, and his heart trembled, and said hurriedly: "What an official is, how could he say false words? He is just a little talkative."

"Would you like to do it?"

Seeing Xu Ping's serious look, Li Qingcheng struggled. Not only did he not ask for any crime, he could continue to be an official. Of course, such a good thing would not fall on his head out of thin air, and the price he paid must be quite high.

Seeing that Li Qingcheng didn't say anything, Xu Ping shook his head: "Forget it, if you don't want me, I won't force you. If you can open the city gate on your own initiative, you will be considered a lost return. I won't punish you anymore. I will be able to get married for three thousand miles—"

"Official, I'm willing to do it!"

Li Qingcheng knelt on the ground with a thunderous look at Xu Ping.

"Get up. Since you are still willing to serve the Song Dynasty, then sit down and talk."

After saying that, Xu Ping loudly ordered Tan Hu outside: "Give tea to Magistrate Li!"

Li Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, held his legs and barely stood up. Seeing that Xu Ping did not look at him, he hesitated to sit on the empty chair next to him.

Tan Hu brought the tea in and said to Li Qingcheng: "The magistrate uses tea!"

Li Qingcheng took the tea bowl, watched Tan Hu walk out of the hall, turned around to face Xu Ping, and said in a trembling voice: "Official, please give me any instructions if you need any small service."

Xu Ping smiled: "You don't have to be nervous, and you won't let you die. The country of Song Dynasty will not be as petty as a small country like Jiaozhi. Since you are a minister of Song Dynasty, of course you use your talents, and you won't take your life. What are you worried about?"

Li Qingcheng saw that Xu Ping did not look like a fake, and his heart was more stable in the air, and said to Xu Ping: "As long as the official is instructed, he will do his best as long as he uses the official position!"

"Okay, it's good to have you!" Xu Ping said, and ordered Tan Hu outside: "It's getting late. I'm going to ask someone to prepare meals for Li Zhizhou's family and let them wait at the back yamen!"

"Thank you, please understand!"

Xu Ping turned around and looked at Li Qingcheng and said, "Actually, things are very simple, it depends on whether you are willing to do everything. You are a local native and must be extremely familiar with the Qiongqi River outside."

"Report to officials, the officials really understand the water nature of Qiongqi River."

"That's good! There is no ferry on the Qiongqi River now. Although it is dry season, the water depth is unfathomable. Just give instructions to the government army where you can wader and build bridges. In the shortest time, build two floating bridges on the Qiongqi River, even if you have great achievements!"

Li Qingcheng was stunned and almost fell off his chair: "The official wants to cross the river? Do you want to fight the Jiadong?"

Xu Ping glanced at Li Qingcheng and said in a deep voice: "According to this, don't ask if you shouldn't ask. But it's not easy to remember you. This time I won't care, and I will remember it in the future!"

"Little reckless!"

"There is only one Liangzhou in Liangzhou. When can Jiaozhi be divided into half? When the troops arrived, of course, we must take back the place that Jiaozhi people had occupied privately. If you do this, not only will the previous crime be exempted, but even the relatives in Jiaozhi and Jiaodong may not be able to do anything."

"Really?" Hearing this, Li Qingcheng looked at Xu Ping with a gaze.

Xu Ping said: "It depends on yourself if it is true or not. If you can get things done and let the government army cross the river smoothly, I will hold Jiadong in my palm. Their own lives are all in the hands of the government army, why are you still worried about your son doing?"

Li Qingcheng's eyes lit up: "Don't worry, official, I will let the government army god cross the river without knowing it!"
