Chapter 146: Change

Li Qing, who rushed back to Dingzhou, received the bad roar the next day. Jiang Kui's whirlwind camp sent back news that Dingyuan was lost, and the raider was the Huhelang Running Army who returned from outside the Pamir Pass.

"How is the situation? Tell me more!" Looking at the messenger, Li Qing was full of annoyance, and Bayar successfully made himself stand up.

"After the barbarians occupied Dingyuan, they did not continue to advance, but instead stationed in Dingyuan. General Jiang Shen estimated that the long journey of Hu Helang Running Army must have been extremely tired. Although he successfully occupied Dingyuan, he was unable to go further. General Jiang Shen has joined forces with General Wang Wang Shen, stationed in Shahe Town, twenty miles away from Dingyuan. Weiyuan and Zhenyuan on both sides of Dingyuan have been prepared to fight and have issued combat mobilization orders. How to act next needs the command of the commander."

Li Qing let out a long sigh, wondering why the prairie barbarian who had always believed in blitzkrieg stopped this time when he fought Dingyuan? It should be noted that what he feared most was that the wolf rushing army drove straight into Dingyuan and other places. His large number of cavalry were in the forest, and only Jiang Kui had more than 5,000 cavalry, which was not enough to pose a threat to the wolf rushing army. Although Wang Qinian's infantry had strong combat power, his legs could never catch up with four legs.

"How are our troops and people in Dingyuan?" Li Qing continued to ask.

The messenger's face became heavy, "Master, we have gathered some of the defeated soldiers. The news we got from them was that General Wang Wenfeng, the general of Dingyuan, had exhausted his hard work and had died heroically. More than a thousand troops in Dingyuan were killed in battle, more than a thousand were captured, and hundreds of people were dispersed. Most of them have been collected by General Wang Wenfeng, and Tianlei Camp."

With a bang, Li Qing kicked over the chair. Wang Wenfeng was the first senior general at the level of general who died in battle since he took charge of military power, and more than a thousand soldiers. If he was vigilant enough to Bayar, then these sacrifices could have been avoided.

"Master!" Shang Haibo took a step forward and said with his fists: "It is common to win or lose on the battlefield. General Wang seeks benevolence and gets kindness, which is considered to be the only way to die. This time Bayar took advantage, and next time we will find it twice as much. I have a responsibility for this matter. I never expected Bayar to dare to drive the tired army to attack Dingyuan."

Qingfeng also stood up, "The Statistical Investigation Department dealt with the main responsibility. We did not find the whereabouts of the Wolf Benjun. We even guessed that they had not returned yet. Intelligence failure is the main reason for our failure this time. I am willing to accept the general's punishment."

Li Qing waved his hand and his eyes turned red, "It's not the time to hold the responsibility accountable now. We must figure out the other party's true intention this time. What exactly do they want to do?"

Li Qing was very surprised that Bayar's move did take advantage, but it would not have much impact on the strategic situation of persecution. Hu He could not occupy Dingyuan for a long time. If the Wolf Running Army broke Dingyuan, took advantage of the situation and robbed and retreated, in revenge that Shanglin was run by Dingzhou, Li Qing could understand it, but at this time he would not fight and not leave, what is the reason? Could Bayar still want to occupy Dingyuan? He used Hu He's Wolf Running Army to defend Dingyuan? It is impossible, he could gather a large number of troops in a short time, and the other party could not defend it.

What did he want to do? Li Qing murmured.

"The two generals of Jiang Wang and Wang were ordered to station on site in Shahe Town, be careful and be wary, order Zhenyuan Weiyuan, gather troops, and wait for the order to attack."

"Mr. Shang, I'll send an order to Dingzhou and prepare for war! Issuing a mobilization order, all reserves will gather."

"Qingfeng, the Statistics and Investigation Department is doing its best to figure out what Hu He's purpose is?"

After Li Qing issued a series of orders, Dingzhou started to operate ruthlessly. Military prefectures and Dingzhou were already common for war. In just one day, the entire Dingzhou became a war machine. All the yamen began to lean towards the army. All the combat troops and reserves entered a state of war. Dingzhou City began to be martial law.

But a day later, Li Qing found that all his work was in vain. Hu He had no plan to fight him at all, so he actually sent an envoy to Dingzhou.

When Li Qing saw this messenger with a braided head appeared in front of him, he finally understood what Hu He wanted.

"Haoge under General Hu He's command has met Marishal Li!" Xiao Braida stroked her left hand and bowed slightly.

Li Qing, who was above the tiger case, stared coldly at Haoge. In the lobby, there were all people with deep hatred with the barbarians. They all looked at each other with murderous intent. Just as the eyes were staring at more than a dozen eyes, Haoge's face remained unchanged, and still smiled and looked directly at Li Qing.

"Sure enough, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals. You are very brave. Are you not afraid of me killing you?" Li Qing said coldly.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. Li Dashuai was so angry that he suddenly attacked Angu's tribe and killed tens of thousands of people. Duandi was a murderous devil, and Haoge was also raised by his father and mother. How could he not be afraid?" Haoge's answer was unexpected. Everyone thought he was going to show off his heroic spirit, so he said a few bold words!

Li Qing let out a sigh of relief, the people brought out by Hu He were indeed extraordinary!

"Then you dare to come?"

"Why don't you dare to come?" Haoge smiled and said, "Dingyuan, there are as many as a thousand people in the army who were captured and abused by our army, and there are tens of thousands of people. If I die, they will have to be buried with me. Think about it, even if I die, it is worth it! The Grand Marshal, it is an amazing honor to have so many burials in our grassland. If this is the case, I, Haoge, really thank the Grand Marshal!"

Li Qing was furious and was buried with the living. It was indeed a group of barbarians. Looking at Haoge, who was so magnanimous, Li Qing's anger slowly calmed down. He stared at Haoge for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Haoge's face changed, "Why did the Grand Marshal laugh? Do you think I was impossible? Can you try it?"

Li Qing smiled hard, and after a while, he leaned out half of his body on the Hu Case, stared at Haoge, and teased: "Haoge, you imagine yourself too important. If I kill you, I dare to say that Huhe will not even let go of anything. He will immediately send someone to contact me. Right? Such a harsh and weak thing, you'd better not play in front of me. Be careful that I will kill you for a moment and let someone take your head to see Huhe. See if Huhe dares to touch my Dingyuan military and civilians?"

Haoge's face turned red and thin, staring at Li Qing, panting, but couldn't speak.

"Tell me, talk about Hu He's conditions. If possible, we can't talk about it?" Li Qing sat back and looked at Haoge disdainfully.

Haoge's arrogance was completely suppressed. Thinking about what Commander Hu He said before coming, he finally let his breath go back.

"Master Hu said that we exchanged the lives of tens of thousands of people in Dingzhou for the two men. As long as the master released these two men, our wolf running army immediately retreated from Dingyuan and released all prisoners."

Everyone was moved. Everyone here knew that the Bai princess Nev and the general Nuoqia, the value of the two to Dingzhou was self-evident. Unexpectedly, Bayar drove the wolf army and the slaughtered army to attack from afar. The purpose was to save these two people. Will the general agree? Everyone looked at Li Qing together.

Shang Haibo stood up, bowed to Li Qing, and said, "Master, Nev and Nuoqia have great identities..."

Li Qing raised his hand and interrupted Shang Haibo. He knew what Shang Haibo meant, and wanted to use these two people to get back larger chips. Since Hu He took Dingyuan and stopped moving, Li Qing and Shang Haibo thought of this problem at the same time. Shang Haibo's view was that since these two people were so important to Bayar, they could regard themselves as strange goods and could ask for higher returns from the other party. Even if the more than a thousand soldiers and people in Dingyuan were not replaced, Hu He would not kill them, but would only take them back to the grassland. In the past, the grassland did not plunder the population from Dingzhou, and there was a chance to save them in the future.

But Li Qing thought it was too cost-effective. He never thought that one or two people could affect the overall situation. Nuoqia was a powerful general and a wise general. Although Neu had a noble status, what was it worth compared to tens of thousands of people and more than a thousand soldiers? What's more, he exchanged these people with these two people, and what he got more than the trust and gratitude of these people?

"Can change!" Li Qing first gave the conclusion, Shang Haibo couldn't help but sigh and lowered his head, "But how can you guarantee that Hu He will release my people and withdraw from Dingyuan after I let these two people go?"

"Lord Huhe guarantees his personality!" Haoge said loudly.

"Don't tell me nonsense about personality or something. I never believe you still have personality!" Li Qing said bluntly.

Haoge was furious: "Mr. Hu promised a fortune, but when did you say something not count? But you, the people of Great Chu, are cunning and capricious by nature. How could Master Hu be like you guys?"

As soon as he spoke, Dachang sounded, and the generals in the hall were all angry and pulled out their waists. As long as Li Qing looked at him, he would chop the rude bastard into meat paste?

Humph! Li Qing sneered: "It's useless to say these things. Haoge, go back and tell your general, is he willing to release people first and withdraw troops? How can I use my personality to guarantee it? Do he believe it? You and my family are deeply frightened like the sea, and neither of them will trust each other. You go back to Huhe and say to him, I will let Nuoqia go first, he withdraws from Dingyuan, and lets us people back, and I will put it back to Princess Nefu. If he breaks his promise, he should know the consequences."

Haoge left helplessly.

"Master, do you really need to change people?" Haoge left, and everyone surrounded him and asked.
