Outside the capital of Baxter, the Cavalry Brigade set up its garrison in a village five kilometers east of Baxter.

At this time, the village had completely turned into a military camp, and all the indigenous people had been driven out.

In the past month, the villages and towns within dozens of kilometers of the surrounding city of Baxter have been cleared, leaving only the lonely city of Baxter City.

Huo Qubing stayed openly in this small village. He walked around outside Baxter City for no reason, provoking the enemy troops in the city.

To talk about this, we have to start with the growing number of civilians in Baxter City. At that time, Aubrey received news that he could no longer live in the city, especially when he learned that there was no food in Baxter City, he could only order the expulsion of the excess civilians in the city.

It was precisely because of this order that Aubrey implemented the Xia army's propaganda in the eyes of civilians, which made many civilians who were driven out of the city helplessly and were unable to gather at the Xia Kingdom's recruitment site.

Originally, Huo Qubing was about to cut off the external news from Baxter City, so that he could only enter but not leave, but in the end Liu Qi's suggestion to him made him change this plan.

At that time, Liu Qi also put forward different opinions on Huo Qubing's plan: "General, except for the city in front of him, there are no soldiers to fight, and blockade is meaningless. It is better to take this opportunity to promote our army's recruitment and give these stateless and homeless people a place to go."

After hearing Liu Qi's suggestion, Huo Qubing felt it was reasonable, so he gave up the blockade plan and allowed these natives to come and go. Anyway, the surrounding villages and towns were almost destroyed by his cavalry brigade, and these natives had no place to go.

Originally, he planned to use these indigenous civilians to spend the food and grass in Baxter City, but he did not expect that the monarch of Baxter was so cruel that he drove away all the foreign residents in order to make him live with the powerful people in the city for a few more days.

Since this is the case, Huo Qubing didn't need to stick to the original plan, and adapted to Liu Qi's opinions to make changes to the original plan.

Liu Qi's advice to Huo Qubing was, first, to win more youth and strong for the Xia Kingdom, and second, he had a hint of compassion for these helpless civilians, so that some of these indigenous people had a way out.

If you want to say that the most miserable and innocent ones are the ordinary people in this world. They are not the private property of the powerful, and if they were not able to provide taxes and military sources for the power, their status would be even worse than that of slaves.

During the war, these ordinary civilians were the first to suffer, and they were the ones who suffered in the end.

Just like the current city of Baxter, whose homes were destroyed and driven to this point, they are still despised by their monarchs and are expelled from the city again. They have endless tears of bitterness but don’t know where to start and who to say it!

After Aubrey got that the Xia army did not block it anymore, he immediately sent people to let the troops stationed on the border return to support, because the previous two dispatches had already put the defense of the soldiers on the border under huge pressure.

But who made Aubrey the monarch? After receiving the message of help from the frontier, the knights at the border gave up the border and returned to support them all.

The country of Baxter had only a total of less than 300,000 troops, and the losses were no less than 200,000. The remaining tens of thousands of troops returned to the rescue in batches.

Therefore, under the command of Huo Qubing, these troops were defeated in batches with less than 10,000 cavalry brigades, and in the end, only more than 10,000 scattered defeated soldiers fled into Baxter City.

When Aubrey heard the news, he completely gave up his struggle and stood in the city peacefully, waiting for the Xia army to push Baxter City and even the Baxter Kingdom that day.

Now all the warable soldiers of the entire Baxter Kingdom are in Baxter City, which is also the source of what Liu Qi said to Huo Qubing "the warable soldiers are no longer warable."

...

"General, General Li has ordered the entire army to return to China. Is it a bit too much for us to do this?" When Huo Qubing made a decision and sent his proposal to Li Jing in a letter, Liu Qi was worried.

Huo Qubing patted Liu Qi on the shoulder and said, "Have you safe, I am not going to be able to return to China by obeying orders, and I am not disobeying military orders."

"But..." Before Liu Qi finished, Huo Qubing interrupted: "There is nothing, and it cannot happen. Even if something happens, the general will bear all the responsibility."

Seeing that Huo Qubing was so determined, it was hard to say anything else, but the worry on his face could not be eliminated.

Huo Qubing knew that he had said something just now, so he comforted Liu Qi and said, "Staff General Liu, you are really at ease. Our cavalry brigade just doesn't go through the sea. Maybe... no, we must return to the country before General Li and the others."

...

"This Huo Qubing is really brave." After reading the letter, Li Jing combined Liu Ji's words and thought about it for a moment and knew what Huo Qubing was thinking about it.

He shook the letter in his hand and said helplessly: "Since General Huo has the feat of establishing his authority for the country, how can I not agree to it?"

"General Li is really broad-minded, I admire him!" Liu Ji heard Li Jing's proposal that he allowed Huo Qubing and looked at Li Jing with admiration. He was not pretending, but really admired Li Jing's mind.

If ordinary people are so unresponsive to the mainstream, they often make unique suggestions to make the coach embarrassed, and don’t wear them with just a few shoes, then they will accompany Huo Qubing to be willful again and again.

Li Jing shook his head with a wry smile and explained the reason: "Military advisor Liao Zan, it's not because General Huo is willful, but he also knows a certain degree, and even knows what should be done and what should not be done. He knows the general so much that if he hadn't these little willfulness, this general wouldn't have seen that Huo Qubing was a young man."

"Haha, General Li really can see through it." When Liu Ji heard Li Jing's words, he couldn't help laughing.

...

Huo Qubing did not want to return from the sea with Li Jing and others, so there was only one road by land, and could only cross the country by land, and then pass through two small territories. Finally, he used the Welfare Met country and returned to Xia from outside Shanhaiguan.

At first glance, the distance is only about 400 kilometers. At the speed of the cavalry brigade, it can be completed in a few days. But this road is not so easy to walk.

Not to mention the unguarded Baxter State, even the forces of the Baxter State and the Welfare MET as several territories that buffer the border, the united power cannot be underestimated.

Not to mention that there is a welfare country that appears to be kind but actually has small thoughts. If the cavalry brigade really crosses this road and returns to Xia country from Shanhaiguan, it must be prepared to pass five passes and kill six generals!

...

When Huo Qubing received Li Jing's consent and replied, he led the cavalry brigade to this destined extraordinary journey.

On the way back, the actual difficulties were much simpler than expected. I passed through various forces very smoothly without any trouble.

On the contrary, when the Cavalry Brigade passed by the two territories, the local lord even brought supplies and drinks to the Cavalry Brigade and showed all his attention.

Can they blame them for not being insincere? In the past six months, as long as they are not blind or deaf, no of these surrounding forces knows that Xia State sent troops to Baxter and used less than 50,000 troops to fight the huge Baxter State without the power to fight back.

Now a knights in Xia Kingdom are going to pass by their territory and return. Do they dare to disagree? Do they dare to make things difficult? I am afraid it is not a lesson for the future of Baxter Kingdom!

Therefore, when the cavalry brigade crossed four forces, two countries, and returned to Shanhaiguan, Xiaguo, 500 kilometers in front and behind, and passed by Guihua City, it attracted everyone to watch.

Zhou Yi even brought Xia State officials, soldiers and civilians from all over the city to greet them in the passage and send off the cavalry brigades!
