Chapter 467: Longing for Xiang Liu
After these people left, there was no news of them again until last month, when three disheveled men ran back, knelt outside and begged the town mayor for forgiveness. They wanted to go home and vowed never to go out again.
That day, everyone in the town went there, and everyone was still frightened, especially the children. When they thought about the harmony and beauty in the town on weekdays, they gradually developed a fear of the outside world.
Ying Liu let the three men beg outside for a day and a night, and finally gave one of them ten taels of silver and sent him away.
Will the prodigal son return with gold?
Ah!
Why would you exchange it for gold? You wouldn't even exchange it for soil. The soil in Qingshui Town is the most precious. Not everyone can step on it. Now that you've left, don't ever come back.
However, these three chickens are quite useful. Killing the chickens to scare the monkeys, no one will want to run away in the future. If they are obedient, Qingshui Town will protect them for life.
It has been a year since the Xiyan Army besieged Chen Rongyi Army, and the two sides are still in a stalemate.
Chen Rong's army has been entrenched in the deep mountains and old forests for many years. It has the advantage of being at home and is very good at fighting small-scale guerrilla warfare. If there is sufficient food and grass, it is almost impossible for any army to annihilate it in one go. Xi Yan adopts the strategy of first winning a small victory to establish his prestige, and then "encircling them tightly and suppressing them slowly."
Fenglong was able to remain calm at first, but a year later, Hongjiang's army still retreated and instead launched sneak attacks on Fenglong's army from time to time.
They never had direct contact with Feng Long's army, but instead engaged in guerrilla warfare and sabotage, starting a fire today and releasing poison tomorrow. They came and left in a hurry, making Feng Long's army nervous at night and unable to sleep well.
For Feng Long, this crusade is different from the attack on Hao Ling. He has always known what he wants. The victory in the attack on Hao Ling is inevitable. No matter how long it takes, he can always get what he wants. But this time is different. He doesn't want fame, wealth, or high position. He just wants to save his sister.
It doesn’t matter if the war lasts for ten or twenty years. Xuan can wait, but Xinyue can’t!
Before going to the battle, he told Xinyue to be patient and wait for him to come back, and he would definitely save her. However, Xinyue was arrogant and ignored him with indifference. Fenglong was worried that his sister would not be able to bear it and would collapse. He was even more worried that Xinyue would risk everything and do something terrible, making the relationship between her and Xuan irreparable.
Because of his concern for Xinyue, when the spy reported that he had discovered the Hongjiang army, Fenglong decided to send troops to pursue the Hongjiang army. However, he fell into Xiangliu's trap and was defeated.
When Xuan received the military report, he was angry and puzzled. He even thought of replacing people. However, changing generals before the battle was a taboo and would affect the relationship with the Central Plains clan. Finally, he decided to go there in person.
When Xiaoyao heard about this, she immediately persuaded Xuan to go with him. However, she was still worried because Yingliu was in Qingshui Town, very close to the battlefield and also very close to Xiangliu. She was afraid that Yingliu would do something stupid, so she decided to go and see her to feel at ease.
This news soon reached Yingliu's ears, and she immediately made a decision to lend a helping hand to Xiangliu.
Three days later, Xuan arranged everything and went secretly to the camp of Xiyan Army with Xiaoyao.
Yingliu was always sensing Xiaoyao's location, and when they got close to the Xiyan military camp, she called Maoqiu.
"Maoqiu, go give this jade pendant to Xiangliu and tell him that Xuanxuan is coming."
Maoqiu held the jade pendant in his mouth, chirped twice in response, and took advantage of the sky that was about to dawn to fly towards the mountains and forests while concealing his breath.
