Li Qi never expected that he would untie Mrs. Qin's clothes on an unprepared night. No, it should be a knot in his heart. Unfortunately, now is really not the time to talk about his daughter's personal relationship, but anyway
, he was really very happy. This way, Li Qi could go into battle more lightly.
The next morning.
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
.......!
Ma Qiao stood in front of a door and knocked on it for a long time. It was obvious that there was no movement inside, so he said to Li Qi who was standing aside: "Bu Shuai, Miss Zhao shouldn't be at home, right?"
Li Qi snorted: "Even if you want to steal a man, it's still too early."
"But if you are here, why is there no movement inside?"
"Maybe he's squatting in the hut."
From the corner of his eye, Li Qi suddenly saw a villager carrying a load of wood passing by the door. He had an idea and hurried forward, shouting: "Brother, please stay."
The villager turned around and saw a stranger. He was surprised and said, "Brother, did you call me?"
"Exactly, exactly." Li Qi stepped forward with a smile and said seriously: "Brother, I see your face is glowing today, either because you drank wine or you are going to have good fortune today."
The villager thought to himself that he turned out to be a fortune teller, and hurriedly said: "Thank you very much, Master, for your kind words, but I really can't afford the fortune teller's money." After that, he picked up the burden and prepared to leave.
"No, no, no, no."
Li Qi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Listen to me. When did I say I wanted your money? I meant you were lucky."
"really?"
"Really, if you go out today, someone will definitely give you money. If not, I will kill you immediately."
The village man smiled honestly, "What---? Someone gave me money? How---how is this possible?"
"Do not believe."
Li Qi dug into his pocket and took out an ingot of silver. It wasn't much, just two taels, but for a villager, it was quite a lot. He stretched it out in front of the villager and said, "Here it is for you."
"
The village man was really frightened. He felt that he had met a madman, but the money of a madman is also money. He pinched himself hard to make sure that he was not dreaming. He suppressed his joy and said: "Really--really give it to me."
Give me?"
"Of course, this is still false." Li Qi changed the subject and said, "But there is a condition."
The villager said cautiously: "What are the conditions?"
"Knock on the door!"
"Knock on the door?"
Li Qi nodded, pointed to the door and said, "As long as you knock on the door for half an hour, this ingot of silver will be yours."
The villager said "Ah" and his eyes looked a little hesitant and confused.
Li Qidao: "It's just knocking on the door, not smashing it. It's not illegal, and I'm here. Nothing will happen. As long as you agree, the money will belong to you. If you don't do it,
, then I’ll find someone else.”
This life is so tempting!
If you don't do it, you will be a dick.
The villager didn't think much about it. He took the silver in one hand and said, "Okay, I'll take this job." He strode forward and banged the door hard.
Bang bang bang!
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Save your strength. You'll have to knock for half an hour."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The village man nodded repeatedly. In fact, this half hour was so simple for him that he was embarrassed to be proud.
Ma Qiao, a simple man, couldn't understand and asked: "Bu Shuai, why did you do this?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Maqiao, do you know what you hate most in the world?"
Ma Qiao shook his head.
"Noise! Just wait. Maybe it won't take half an hour before the ladyboy comes out."
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
The village man's endurance was really not something to be boasted about. Even after a stick of incense had passed, his blows were still so powerful.
After a while, I suddenly heard a "squeak" and saw a handsome young man standing behind the door with an angry look on his face. The man didn't even see clearly, so he said: "Li Qi, you are really bullying - who are you?"
?”
This handsome young man is naturally Zhao Jingyan.
The villager didn't know how to answer, so he turned his head and looked at Li Qi.
"Hi! Good morning, Mr. Zhao!"
Zhao Jingyan followed the villager's gaze and saw Li Qizheng walking over, waving his hands and snorting heavily.
"Okay, okay, your mission is completed, you can go."
Li Qi came to the door and waved to the villager first.
The village man was overjoyed, took the money and left happily. This fortune teller was really accurate.
"Haha, for those of you who haven't read the book, just make do with it."
While he was talking, Li Qi had already entered the door sideways and was completely relieved. He was really afraid that Zhao Jingyan would close the door. He didn't have the money to hire someone to knock on the door. Ma Qiao would definitely not bother to do this without the style of a master.
live.
"Are you talking about you?" Zhao Jingyan saw Li Qi let out a long breath, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and asked lightly: "What are you doing here?"
"I'm guilty, so I'm here to plead guilty." Li Qi said it as if he was annihilating a relative for justice.
"Oh? I don't remember you offending me?"
"Yes, yes." Li Qi said in a sincere tone: "I risk everything to save an ignorant woman. It is not a wise move. I am really ashamed of the emperor, my colleagues, and my brothers. I am deeply ashamed of myself."
You who love me, oh no, I am ashamed of you who I have always loved, and it is not right---I should be ashamed of your trust in me. I did something wrong this time, and it was a big mistake. I have already faced the wall.
After thinking about this month, I have done a deep self-examination. The walls are covered with letters of repentance. No matter who happens to me next time, I will go as far as I can. I also ask for your forgiveness, Yan Fu.
This time I am.”
As he said that, he smiled at Zhao Jingyan and said flatteringly: "Yan Fu, you see I'm so sincere, so don't go back on me all the time."
Zhao Jingyan snorted, took back the dagger pressed against Li Qi's abdomen, and said, "Next time you talk nonsense and take advantage of me, I won't forgive you."
Li Qi let out a big sigh and thought, this ladyboy is really getting more and more presumptuous. Isn't it a slip of the tongue? It's so obscene to contradict me. But he said: "Yes, yes, I will personally come to apologize."
Now, you should calm down too."
Zhao Jingyan was angry and said: "You said you did something stupid, isn't it just a woman? Have you never seen a woman or something? You should know that this is a very critical period for us in the Song Dynasty, and
You have a heavy responsibility, but you don't cherish yourself at all. If something happens to you, who will handle those things in Dali? We will be in a dilemma, and the world will be in chaos."
Li Qi had known that if he came today, he would be scolded by Zhao Jingyan. There was no reason why Zhao Jingyan didn't know about such a big thing happening to him. But he never visited him. He was obviously angry that Zhao Jingyan didn't follow Li Qingzhao and the others.
Similarly, Li Qingzhao can still understand Li Qi's behavior, but Zhao Jingyan cannot understand it at all. In her heart, national affairs are above all else, even if she is asked to donate her life. She will not blink, which is why, she
I would have chosen to hand over all my family assets to help Li Qi fight against the Jin Dynasty.
Li Qi said depressedly: "I've said it's serious enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more serious than what I said."
Zhao Jingyan snorted angrily: "I've said it lightly. This plan was planned by you and the emperor. If you die, what will happen to the soldiers on the front line? Aren't you forcing the emperor to conquer it himself? What if the emperor's imperial commander personally conquers it?
.What about national affairs?”
"Bah, bah, bah, it's so early in the morning, can you say something auspicious?" Li Qi said shamelessly: "Things have already happened, what do you want me to do?"
Zhao Jingyan closed her eyes and sighed helplessly.
Li Qi glanced secretly and said hehe: "Okay, okay. You can scold me if you want. If you haven't said this yet, I will tell you another piece of good news. I'll keep it until you smile."
Zhao Jingyan's eyes flickered slightly.
"Let's go in and talk."
Now that Li Qi had brought up the state affairs, Zhao Jingyan was really at her wits end, and she didn't hesitate. She couldn't do it. She stretched out her hand and showed a symbolic courtesy, and then walked towards the house.
When he arrived at the house, Li Qi sat down, took out a letter from his arms, handed it over, and said excitedly: "Have a look."
Zhao Jingyan glanced at him suspiciously before taking the letter. When she glanced upward, the anger on her face immediately dissipated without a trace.
This letter was sent by Yue Fei to Yang Zaixing yesterday.
It turned out that Duan Zhengyan had already captured Jianchang Prefecture. Not only that, Chengji Town, one of the four major towns in Dali, was also captured by Wu Jie. Wu Jie should be the first to take the lead in this battle.
After Wu Jie captured Yucheng City, he aimed directly at Chengji Town. However, he did not attack. Instead, he set up camp a hundred miles away from Chengji Town. Wu Jie's army was approaching fiercely and came with a great victory.
, Gao Ping, who stayed behind in Chengji Town, did not dare to take the initiative to attack. The 10,000 reinforcements were just gone. This is really terrible.
Not only that, Gao Ping also mobilized troops from all around to assist Chengji Town.
But at this moment, Wu Jie suddenly led an army and headed straight for Jianchang Mansion.
After hearing this, Gao Ping immediately panicked, because most of the reinforcements from Chengji Town were going to support Jianchang Mansion. Now that his own reinforcements have not gone, but the enemy's reinforcements have, Jianchang Mansion will definitely not be able to defend it.
.
There was no other way, so Gao Ping quickly led his troops to rescue Jianchang Mansion.
But who would have known that Wu Jie suddenly turned back halfway through the journey and drove at full speed to Chengji Town. He also ordered a thousand dead men to cut off Gaoping's retreat and block the enemy in a narrow mountainous area. He must delay Gaoping's rescue.
Wu Jie led the army, covered with stars and wearing the moon, whichever way is faster, he walked quickly among the mountains and streams, and arrived at Chengji Town in less than five days. At this time, there were only 3,000 people in Chengji Town, and the main force was all defeated by Gao Ping.
They were transferred away, but Wu Jie had more than 10,000 troops. In less than a day, Chengji Town was captured.
It turned out that Wu Jie was just pretending to aid Jianchang Mansion, and Chengji Town was his target. He knew that it was not a wise move to attack Chengji Town. He could not help but suffer heavy losses, and he might not be able to attack it, but he had to
Destroy the Gao family's garrison here.
So he first stationed troops in front of Chengji Town, with the purpose of asking Gao Ping to transfer the reinforcements that were originally going to Jianchang Mansion to Chengji Town for emergency relief. In this way, if he rushed to rescue Jianchang Mansion, then Gao Ping would definitely also
Leading the troops forward, once Gao Ping leaves, the interior of Chengji Town will definitely be empty.
Then, he turned back again, just to make a time difference.
In fact, Wu Jie learned this move from Wanyan Zongwang, relying on a small number of soldiers and horses to delay the enemy's main force in order to achieve his own strategic goals.
Since it was Wanyan Zongwang's move, there must be a back-up move.
After capturing Chengji Town, Wu Jie did not stop at any point, nor did he defend Chengji Town. Instead, he immediately sent troops to set up an ambush on the way back from Gaoping.
Gao Ping learned that Wu Jie suddenly turned back and knew that he had fallen into a trap, so he quickly led his troops to rescue him. However, he encountered a fierce attack on the way.
He did not expect that Wu Jie would be so fast due to the situation in Chengji Town. He thought he could still make it in time, so he rushed to Chengji Town without stopping.
Seeing Cheng Ji Town right in front, enemies suddenly appeared from all directions.
Gao Ping was still somewhat capable. He relied on his numerical advantage to withstand Wu Jie's fierce attacks. But just when the two sides were fighting, a group of troops suddenly came out from behind. There were not many supporting troops, that is, three or four.
Qian Ji marched, but it completely changed the entire battle situation.
At this time, even a thousand men and horses will cost lives.
It turned out that on the way to Jianchang Mansion, Wu Jie secretly asked Duan Shiwen to write a letter to Duan Zhengyan, asking him to send an army immediately to attack Gaoping's main force, but not to let him escape.
Because Duan Zhengyan was besieging Jianchang Mansion, and most of the surrounding areas were under his control, he could calmly send troops to Chengji Town.
Wanyan Zongwang used this move to deal with Li Qi. The difference is that this reinforcement came to support Wu Jie. The reinforcement led by Wu Jie originally went to support Li Qi. If it was completely
Yan Zongwang's reinforcements had already defeated Kaifeng.
Under attack from two sides, Gao Ping was defeated and fled, almost annihilating his entire army. Gao's family in the northwest suffered heavy losses one after another and was no longer able to rescue Jianchang Mansion. After Duan Zhengyan eliminated Gao Ping, he took advantage of the
Went to Jianchang Mansion.
Wu Jie took advantage of the low morale of the enemy troops to regain the tribes around Chengji Town. The entire northwest region was under Duan Zhengyan's control. Of course, this was only on the surface.
The two armies did not stop at all. They divided into two groups and pointed their swords at Shanchan Mansion, the capital of Dali.
When the chiefs of the thirty-seven tribes saw Duan Zhengyan's rapid progress, they surrendered to Duan Zhengyan one after another. Twenty-seven tribes had already become Duan Zhengyan's subordinates.
Now the Gao family was completely panicked and quickly sent troops to support Huichuan Mansion. If Huichuan Mansion was lost again, Shanchan Mansion would be in danger.
But precisely because of this, he was unable to stop Wu Jie anymore, so he had to retreat to Nongdong Mansion, hoping to rely on these two mansions to defend Shanchan Mansion.
Wu Jie encountered little resistance and arrived in front of Nongdong Mansion, but he did not attack again.
Of course Duan Shiwen hoped that Wu Jie could take some of the pressure off Duan Zhengyan's side, but he was already impressed by Wu Jie's military ability. Wu Jie would just find a reason to fool him, and he would believe it.
In fact, Wu Jie did this, firstly, to make Duan Zhengyan spend more money, and secondly, to lure Jiaozhi into taking the bait.
After Duan Zhengyan captured Jianchang Mansion, support from the Song Dynasty poured in like a tide.
Duan Zhengyan was so powerful that he attacked Huichuan Mansion with all his strength, hoping to capture Huichuan Mansion in one go. However, Gao was not a paper tiger. He held on to Huichuan Mansion with all his might and never took another step back.
The two sides started a tug-of-war.
After Zhao Jingyan read it, she slapped the letter on the table and said excitedly: "What a beautiful job. I really saw the right person."
You know, the current Wu Jie came from her, and when Wu Jie won the battle, she would feel ashamed!
"That's it, that's it. It's all your insight!"
Li Qi smiled and flattered him, and suddenly asked: "By the way, how did you meet Wu Jie?"
Zhao Jingyan smiled disdainfully and said: "Considering the situation at that time, it couldn't be easier. People who are suppressed by the court are generally talented people. These people are depressed and have suffered a lot of grievances. I It doesn’t take much effort at all.”
Li Qi glanced at her and said, "These people? Then---."
You really can't get carried away in the slightest in front of this person. He will catch him at the slightest clue. Zhao Jingyan said cautiously: "What do you want to do? I will not surrender those people. Now that the third brother is appointing talented people, their Of course the situation is different, and I have never contacted them again, so just let them go."
Li Qi chuckled: "Of course I know this, I won't talk about the rest. Just based on our relationship, isn't it just a matter of your words?"
"This is best. If you try to trick me again, I will fall out."
"You are so smart, I can't even try to trick you!"
Zhao Jingyan quickly changed the subject and said, "Then what are you going to do next?"
Li Qidao: "It depends on you?"
"Look at me?"
Li Qi laughed and said: "Whenever you agree to be my staff, I will set off at that time. You can rest assured about the treatment. You must provide food and accommodation. Now the rise and fall of the world depends on you alone."
"You are such a scoundrel."
"Whatever you say, if you don't go, it means it's not the time yet. I can wait."
Zhao Jingyan hummed: "You have convinced me."
Li Qidao: "We all have the same purpose, so of course we have to walk on the same path. It doesn't make sense to go separately."
"So where's your first stop?"
Li Qi's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent, "Yizhou! There are still a bunch of bastards waiting for me to teach them how to behave."
Zhao Jingyan's eyes lit up and she said, "I have to go here."
