Chapter 711: Dead End

Wei Kuang looked at the homespun linen clothes he and his soldiers were wearing, and then at the unique military uniforms that Qin Sheng and the other soldiers were wearing that were very close to the forest. He was really envious. No wonder they hid so well in the mountains and forests.

I just don’t know if the court can make such clothes?

Xue Xu said excitedly, "Sixth Master, don’t worry about me!"

"After I die, Sixth Master will tell the governor that I, Old Xue, have only one wish--" When he said this, Xue Xu's face was full of discouragement, as if he wanted to die.

Qin Sheng interrupted him, "You can tell her in person."

Xue Xu:...

Why don't you let him finish? What if he really died?

Wei Kuang felt that this time, the surprise attack on the Li tribe did not take any advantage, and the Jintai Army and the entire Li tribe were bleeding, slowly consuming their military strength.

Xue Xu and others also complained that the progress was too slow.

The Li tribe has been here for a long time. They have the advantage of the terrain, and they have the assistance of weapons such as clairvoyance and explosives. The strength of the Jintai army itself is also top-notch, but they have dragged on for a long time and have not destroyed the enemy.

And Xue Xu also knew that the explosives equipped to them were all the stocks of Pingzhou in addition to the current stocks of the major armies.

The governor thought that their army was fighting alone in the south, so he asked them to bring them.

With such military strength, they actually touched the enemy's hidden nest twice, but when the Sixth Master led people to touch it, they found nothing.

It seemed to be just a coincidence, but Xue Xu just felt that something was wrong, so he hardened his heart and did this.

"Xie Haoran, do you want to change?" Qin Sheng asked again.

"If you don't change, Xue Xu is seriously ill now. If he dies in your hands, you will get nothing."

Xie Haoran understood what he meant. Qin Sheng wanted to change Xue Xu back and treat him well. And Qin Sheng was very confident that he could survive in his hands.

"Exchange!" Capturing Xue Xu was nothing, capturing Qin Sheng was a great achievement!

As long as Qin Sheng was in hand, not only would the Jintai army not dare to act rashly, but the Li people would also have to obey. The most important thing was that after taking Qin Sheng down, the peace talks between Dali and Pingzhou would have a strong bargaining chip.

Xie Haoran was confident in his skills. Although Qin Sheng was very powerful, it would be no problem for him to control him if he surrendered.

"Wait, we can't exchange like this. We have to tie up your upper limbs first."

Qin Sheng said in a light voice, "Whatever."

Xie Haoran didn't trust the other party's people, so he ordered his confidants to go and tie him up.

After Qin Sheng was tied up, the two sides began to exchange hostages.

Wei Kuang and Xie Haoran were highly alert, always guarding against accidents during the hostage exchange, but fortunately, everything went well.

Not long after, Xue Xu, who had a high fever, returned to his own camp, and Qin Sheng fell into Xie Haoran's hands.

Qin Sheng glanced at the knife on his neck, looking for an opportunity.

At this moment, there was a sound of breaking air in the air, and a black shadow shot towards Xie Haoran like a sharp arrow.

"General, be careful!"

"What is that?"

"Snake! Big snake! Big black snake!"

"That's a big flat-headed snake!"

When Xie Haoran heard the words "big flat-headed snake", his heart tightened. He saw a black shadow rushing towards his arm from the corner of his eyes, and he subconsciously put down his right hand.

Everyone saw that the big flat-headed snake hit Qin Sheng, but it didn't attack, as if it was knocked unconscious. When it slid from Qin Sheng's arm to Xie Haoran's arm, it seemed to wake up, and then it bit Xie Haoran's arm!

This scene fell into everyone's eyes, and they only felt fantasy, too fantasy!

Ouch!

Xie Haoran shouted, and his hand subconsciously loosened, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

Qin Sheng took the opportunity to get rid of Xie Haoran's control.

"Hurry up, help the general detoxify!"

Xie Haoran's subordinates were busy.

As soon as Qin Sheng escaped, Chen Jinlong, Zhu Dazhuang and others winked at their subordinates, and the Jintai Army soldiers silently spread the net and gradually surrounded them.

Seeing this, Wei Kuang hurriedly took his men away.

There was no way, he couldn't win, and he had to run away, and it was too weird!

It was obvious that they had the advantage before, but in a blink of an eye, because of a poisonous snake, the situation was reversed, like seeing a ghost.

"Not good, Wei Kuang is going to run."

"Catch him!"

As the saying goes, catch the king first, catch Wei Kuang, and they will win this battle.

A fierce battle broke out on the scene, and Qin Sheng sent a small team to protect Xue Xu.

Zhu Dazhuang was the captain, and he led his men to protect Xue Xu and walked out.

Xue Xu: "Let's go back first!" He couldn't help here if he stayed like this, and he might even become a burden, so he didn't stay here to cause trouble.

The five words Xue Xu were murderous.

"You really love the Li people deeply." Zhu Dazhuang supported him weakly and teased him.

For a man who cherishes his life so much, he also fought hard to find the spy.

Xue Xu rolled his eyes at him, "Stop talking nonsense!"

He had been busy and tired recently, and he couldn't stand soaking in the mountain pool for half an hour.

He really got old.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. I know you are anxious, but it's useless for you to be anxious." He couldn't fly back immediately!

"I want to see which bastard is betraying me when I go back!" He wanted to go back and clean up the mess!

In order to find this betraying guy, he really suffered a lot.

...

In this battle, Qin Sheng captured Wei Kuang alive. Xie Haoran died of poisoning while fleeing because he failed to remove the poison in time and had to fight again.

Since then, the army sent by Dali to western Guangdong was defeated.

When the news came back to Chang'an, Song Mo and Xie Zhan, the king and minister, were silent.

Xie Zhan was the first to break the silence and make a suggestion.

"Your Majesty, the army in the south cannot be without a commander for a day. You still have to transfer a commander to the south as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation."

"If we talk about the knowledge of the barbarians in the south among the army in the expedition to the south, in addition to Sun Ming, there are also General Liu Mao and General Xie Wei."

"Dali and Pingzhou have negotiated peace, and they will definitely be able to cease fire. Yang Yingqin and Dong Guowei are stationed in the north, which is enough. Your Majesty can send Liu Mao or Xie Wei to the south to take charge of the overall situation."

After Xie Zhan finished speaking, he kept silent.

Xianbei and Dali were equally worried about the powerful Pingzhou. Tuoba Khan even sent people to Chang'an to meet the emperor secretly. He had already offered a plan.

With this plan, and with the help of several major families, the north could be temporarily stabilized.

He believed that the emperor would accept his advice.

Hedong, where the Pei family gathered

Xiao Kun led people to investigate several key points in the surrounding area.

At this time, Pei Ji came to find him.

Xiao Kun summoned the deputy general and temporarily entrusted the subsequent matters to him.

He was going to see someone.

Thanks to the relationship of the Pei family, Xiao Kun met Xie Wei wearing a mask without alarming anyone.

At this time, Xie Wei had just received the emperor's reward with several other young generals in the army.

Song Mo issued an imperial decree to reward several young generals who fought bravely in the recent battles, praising them for their fearlessness, killing thousands of enemies, and defending the border. They were rewarded with a thousand gold coins, promoted one level, and reused.

But there was an exception among these young generals, and that exception was Xie Wei. Because of his previous experience of garrisoning in the South, the emperor specially recruited him to command the battle in the South.

His current position was taken over by Li Zhu, who was from the Zhaojun Li family.

After Xie Wei and Li Zhu handed over, they prepared to return to Chang'an to report, get the tiger talisman and the handwritten order to go to the South, and by the way, he could see his wife and children.

"Brother Wei, you finally waited for the clouds to clear and the moon to shine." Xie Fang saw him off and was happy for him.

Xie Wei was also happy in his heart. He could finally lead an army alone! Does this mean that he is not so bad?

After Xie Wei set off, he met Xiao Kun, who was waiting for him in disguise, at the first post station.

The first sentence Xiao Kun said to him surprised Xie Wei, "What did you say?"

"I said that your trip is a dead end."
