When Huangfu Yunzhao rushed to the county governor's house, it was just entering Haishi.

Someone had been waiting outside the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion. When they saw Huangfu Yunzhao coming over, they immediately led him into the elegant hall in the west courtyard of the Sheriff's Mansion.

Entering the elegant hall, there were several people waiting inside. One of them stood up unconsciously when he saw Huangfu Yunzhao. When Huangfu Yunzhao saw this person, both of them were surprised.

But he saw that the person who stood up was actually Song Shixiang.

He really didn't expect that he would see Song Shixiang here.

Song Shixiang was his trusted general, but he had already been captured by Long Rui's army, and his life and death were unknown.

At this time, Huangfu Yunzhao was surprised to see Song Shixiang living a happy life, but he was also filled with emotion.

However, Song Shixiang had already stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and choked with sobs: "General, humble general...!"

"Stop talking!" Huangfu Yunzhao helped Song Shixiang up and sighed: "I'm very happy that you are still alive." He looked up at the other people and saw one of them was wearing a long robe and was very elegant. He thought of something and raised his hands and said:

"I wonder if your honor is General Gu?"

"It's Gu Baiyi." The man in the robe stood up and returned the salute with his hands, and said with a smile: "General Huangfu has abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. It's a great congratulation. I will definitely get drunk with several generals today."

"As expected, it's General Gu." Huangfu Yunzhao said with a wry smile: "The general's strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west is really admirable."

Gu Baiyi smiled and said: "I don't dare." He raised his hand and introduced: "This is Liaoxi County Lieutenant Yuwen Chengchao!"

Yuwen Chengchao had already stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I have heard about General Huangfu's name a long time ago, and I am so lucky to see him today!"

"What a joke." Huangfu Yunzhao hurriedly waved his hands and said: "The defeated general has no face to see you. Please take care of me in the future."

"Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers." Yuwen Chengchao said with a smile: "The general's defeat was not due to war, but the Liaodong Army has become unpopular." He raised his hands and said, "Please take a seat, the general will be here soon!

"

Song Shixiang was obviously still in awe of Huangfu Yunzhao, and he immediately helped Huangfu Yunzhao pull out his chair. Huangfu Yunzhao hesitated and sat down. Song Shixiang then sat down under Huangfu Yunzhao.

The food and wine were not served yet, but there were some snacks and tea on the table.

Huangfu Yunzhao naturally knew the names of Gu Baiyi and Yuwen Chengchao for a long time, and he also knew in his heart that these two people could be regarded as Qin Xiao's right-hand men in Long Rui's army. There was a banquet today, and Qin Xiao's right-hand men all came to the banquet. From this,

It can be seen that Qin Xiao attaches great importance to tonight's banquet, which gives him enough face.

After all, Huangfu Yunzhao and Song Shixin were the defeated generals. They were really embarrassed sitting on the table at this moment.

"Has the general met his family?" Gu Baiyi said gently.

Huangfu Yunzhao nodded: "My family is grateful to you for taking care of me. I am very grateful."

"Old Madam, you have been working hard on the journey, so you should have a good rest." Gu Baiyi said with a smile: "I wanted to go to see you, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I can only go to see Old Madam after a while."

"I dare not." Huangfu Yunzhao sighed: "The general has arranged everything well, it's really...!" He sighed in his heart when he thought that the whole family was safe and sound, and that they would see each other again.

At this moment, hearing the sound of footsteps, Yuwen Chengchao stood up first and said: "The general is here!"

Several other people also stood up immediately.

As expected, Qin Xiao walked in from the door. When he saw Huangfu Yunzhao, he immediately smiled and said, "The general is here?"

Huangfu Yunzhao was about to step forward to thank him, but Qin Xiao had already said: "An old friend just happened to be here." He turned around and said: "General Dou, please come in!"

Huangfu Yunzhao was a little confused, but when he saw someone coming in from the door, he took a look and said in surprise: "Dou Xiong?"

The general who came in from the door turned out to be Dou Xiong, General Ningyuan of the Liaodong Army.

Dou Xiong looked a little embarrassed and raised his hand to Huangfu Yunzhao.

Dou Xiong and Huangfu Yunzhao are two powerful generals of the Liaodong Army. The Liaodong Army has many factions and they are not from the same group. However, the two sides do not have much conflict and treat each other with courtesy when they meet on weekdays.

As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes. Most of the generals of the Liaodong Army are greedy for pleasure and corrupted. Although the Liaodong Army seems to have many soldiers and generals, there are not many generals who can really stand alone. Huangfu Yunzhao and Dou Xiong are both capable in the Liaodong Army.

Recruiting generals who are good at fighting.

The two of them never expected that they would meet here one day and become defeated by Qin Xiao at the same time.

Qin Xiao had already held Dou Xiong's arm, pulled him to the table, asked him to sit down, and then ordered: "Everyone is here, let's serve the food and wine!"

After Qin Xiao sat down, he smiled and said: "I'm going to prepare a few drinks today and invite you to drink together. In addition, I have to entrust some important matters to some generals!"

Huangfu Yunzhao immediately stood up and said: "As long as the general has given orders, the general will obey the orders without hesitation."

"General, sit down and talk." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "There are no outsiders." He looked at Huangfu Yunzhao and said, "General Huangfu, are you satisfied with the house?"

"Thank you, General, for taking the trouble." Huangfu Yunzhao said immediately, "My family likes it very much."

"That's good." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "In the future, the general will be able to see his family often."

Huangfu Yunzhao was startled, thought for a moment, and said cautiously: "They can rest here for a while and then go to western Liaoning."

Of course, Huangfu Yunzhao knew that since Qin Xiao had captured Shunjin City, he would soon have the entire Yingping in his hands, and Liaodong was unable to counterattack and had no chance to recapture Yingping.

Of course, Qin Xiao's appetite cannot stop here.

Now that he has taken over Liaoxi and Yingping counties, forming an absolute advantage over the Liaodong army, Qin Xiao will definitely continue to point his troops towards Liaodong.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

Of course, the four northeastern counties can only have one master.

So he knew that if nothing unexpected happened, he would have to help Qin Xiao conquer Liaodong, otherwise there would be no need for the other party to accommodate him.

His family members had already arrived in Shunjin City, and he had joined not long ago, and even still commanded his old army. Under such circumstances, it was only natural for Qin Xiao to send his family members to Western Liaoning and take them hostage.

Qin Xiao didn't bring it up, but he couldn't pretend not to know. If he took the initiative to speak out, he could show sincerity.

"Why go to western Liaoning?" Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Does the general think that I want to send them to western Liaoning and take them as hostages to force the general to serve?"

Qin Xiao was so direct, which made Huangfu Yunzhao a little embarrassed.

"Wherever the general goes, he can take them there." Qin Xiao looked gentle and said with a smile: "Although Shunjincheng has been captured, there must always be a general to guard it. We and Wang Xingchao are incompatible with each other. This Shunjincheng

It can be regarded as being on the front line. General Gu and I discussed it carefully, and after much deliberation, I still feel that it is most reassuring to hand over this city to General Huangfu."

Huangfu Yunzhao said in astonishment: "General, do you mean... to let me garrison this city?"

"The general has been in Shunjin for a while, and he knows the defense of this city best." Qin Xiao said: "Other than the general, I am afraid there is no one suitable to guard this city. The general's old department will naturally still be commanded by you." He looked at Dou Xionghe.

Song Shixiang said: "General Dou, General Song Lang, you two have worked hard. In the future, I will assist General Huangfu in guarding this city. I have to leave everything to you."

Both of them were surprised, looked at each other, stood up and said respectfully: "General, I will obey your order!"

Huangfu Yunzhao really didn't expect Qin Xiao to arrange such an arrangement, and couldn't help but said: "General, you gave this city to us, and... you also let the general's family stay here, could it be...

.Aren’t you worried that after the troops withdraw, they will immediately rebel in the end?”

Gu Baiyi said with a smile: "General Huangfu, if the general thinks you are two-faced people, how can he recruit you? Several generals are well-known, and we all know that you are loyal people. Many people in the Liaodong Army disdain

You guys, you no longer know what kind of mission you have to shoulder. But you are still passionate and have the heart to protect the country and the people, and the general also values ​​this."

"Of course you know Tang Kaijia!" Yu Wencheng said: "After Tang Kaijia was captured, he was greedy for life and feared death, and took the initiative to submit to the general. However, the general did not agree and escorted him to western Liaoning and handed him over to Shaoqing Yun of Dali Temple.

Mr. Lu Yun will try it. After he confesses his crime, he will naturally engage in national law."

Several people were surprised.

"We have also investigated Tang Kaijia's character clearly." Qin Xiaodao: "I heard that he was the one who strongly supported the horse racing to enclose the land. This person occupied a large area of ​​fertile land, bullied men and women, and acted arrogantly. Not only did he fail to protect the country

Instead, they collaborated with many villains to harm the people. These scumbags should be eradicated."

In the Liaodong Army, Tang Kaijia had many members, and they had always been at odds with Huangfu Yunzhao. Even Dou Xiong looked down on Tang Kaijia as a person. When he heard that Tang Kaijia was punished, he felt that he deserved it.

Huangfu Yunzhao thought for a moment, then stood up, knelt down on one knee, and said to Qin Xiao: "Since the general has such trust, the general must defend Shunjin to the death. If the people are in the city, the city will be destroyed and people will die!"

When the other two people saw this, they immediately stood up and knelt down.

Qin Xiao stepped forward and helped them up one by one and said: "It's all for the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to be formal." He said to Dou Xiong: "General Dou, General Song Lang

, I know you all also miss your family. But don’t worry, I will send people there to look for opportunities. When the time comes, I will do my best to rescue your family members."

Both of them were extremely grateful.

"General, now that the military is in full swing, why don't you take advantage of the situation and advance eastward?" After sitting down, Huangfu Yunzhao said: "The troops in Wang Xingchao's hands are now seriously insufficient, and many of them are incompetent. If we take advantage of the situation to attack, we may achieve miraculous results.

.”

Qin Xiao and Gu Baiyi looked at each other and said with a smile: "It is natural to put down Wang Xingchao's rebellion, but it should not be done too hastily. Now that Yingping has just been captured, it will take some time to digest it. And winter is about to begin.

Once we move eastward, the supply of logistical supplies will be much more difficult. It should be much better to wait until spring to make plans."

"Wang Xingchao lost Shunjincheng. He must have known that we would march eastward next. In this case, he would mobilize all his strength to deal with it." Gu Baiyi said: "If you press too hard at this time, it will make everyone there

If we work together, it will not be easy to deal with. Let's take a moment and wait a while. Many people in the Liaodong Army will see the situation clearly. Maybe if we wait a little longer, they will be in disarray. If we take action then, we will get twice the result with half the effort." He sighed lightly.

: "The general has always said that although Wang Xingchao and many Liaodong generals are guilty, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army are not guilty. They are all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. They really don't want to kill each other unless they have to. This will only make the relatives

The one who hates the enemy quickly weakens his own strength."

After hearing this, several people couldn't help but nod their heads.

"If the general is trustworthy, I can write letters to lobby." Huangfu Yunzhao thought for a moment before saying: "The general knows a lot of people there. I can select some people to send secret letters. If I can persuade them to join the general, I will

When the time comes to send troops, there will be internal support."

Qin Xiao showed trust in Huangfu Yunzhao today, which made Huangfu Yunzhao not only grateful, but also admired Qin Xiao's broadmindedness.

He didn't make any meritorious service, but he thought that since he was treated so favorably by Qin Xiao, he would naturally strive to make meritorious service and live up to Qin Xiao's trust.

"If this can be done, it would be great." Qin Xiao said with a smile.

Dou Xiong hesitated for a moment and said, "General, even junior generals can write letters."

"No." Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "General Dou's family is still there. If he writes a letter and is informed of Wang Xingchao, Wang Xingchao will be furious. With this information, it may be detrimental to the general's family."

Huangfu Yunzhao patted Dou Xiong on the arm and said: "General Dou, don't worry, there is always a chance to make contributions to the country."
