Finally, everything was well prepared, and the commander of the army, Mr. Wan, personally led his troops northward to attack Xingzhou.General Shen and Chu Lingfeng, who had just recovered from his injuries, led the heavy cavalry and the zhadan bed crossbow to Xingzhou as the vanguard.

At a place two miles away from Xingzhou, the army stopped marching and arranged their formation. First, the zhadan bed crossbow exploded violently. While the Khitan soldiers were crying and howling, the army advanced a few hundred meters to the city wall and used the god arm crossbow equipped with a small zhadan. Shoot wildly.

The Jin army was shooting freely. Suddenly, the alarm rang in Lin Qiao's mind. He felt bad, so he drew out the green whip and threw it at Lord Wan, pulling the dozen or so people who knew nothing about it in an instant.

Master Wan hadn't woken up from the bewilderment, the place where he stayed before was blown upside down in an instant.

The Khitan really stole Dajin's zhadan.However, fortunately, the number of Zhadan was not large, and the accuracy was not enough, and it did not cause major casualties to the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty.

Almost killed by the weapon he made at home, Master Wan was so angry that he wanted to order his messengers to send a signal to Chu Lingfeng to attack the city immediately while blowing his beard.However, Master Wan was still a little sensible, so he gave up halfway through the order.Although the city wall of Xingzhou is not as tall and strong as Daming Mansion, it is still eight meters high and ten meters wide, which is not so easy to capture.

Even though the Khitans in the city suffered heavy casualties, the Jin side did not dare to attack by force, after all, the number of the two sides was too great.

At this time, it was a good time for zhayaobao to enter the field. Fifty dead soldiers held zhayaobao wrapped in oilcloth in their hands, bent their waists, and touched the city wall while the crossbow was being fired.

The Khitan people didn't know what this meant, so they didn't shoot these dead soldiers. In their view, the city wall was so high and the Jin people didn't carry ladders, so there was nothing to fear.

When the fuse was ignited, a moment later, there was a rumbling explosion on the other side of the city wall, and dozens of places collapsed in an instant.

The Dajin camp retreated at this time, rested and ate, and did not rush to attack the city. They waited for a few more bombardments, and the Khitan people died and injured more before attacking.

After doing this several times, the sky gradually became dark, and the Khitan people gradually stopped making any noise.Taking advantage of the darkness, Lin Qiao slipped out of the army camp, then spawned vines, and went into the city to investigate.

The result surprised him a bit, except for the ruined walls and disabled soldiers, there were not many people walking upright.The Khitan people escaped from the city through the north gate in the dark and headed north.

Lin Qiao hurriedly informed Lord Wan of this matter.After deliberation, Master Wan immediately ordered General Shen and Chu Lingfeng to go around the city and pursue the Khitans northward.

Guided by Lin Qiao's supernatural ability, the Northern Jin army holding torches caught up with the Khitan infantry within a short period of time, and it was another fight.

This time, Yan Ziqing, Lin Qiao and brother Zhuzi also followed along, each showing their magical powers and killing the Khitan soldiers.

In the end, except for some cavalry, almost all the fleeing infantry and some slow-running cavalry of the Khitan army were roughly killed.

When the Khitan army escaped from the Great Jin Dynasty, they arrived in the territory of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.The Northern Army of the Great Jin Dynasty stopped.

After that, it is to clean up the battlefield, count the casualties, deal with the prisoners, and collect the supplies and weapons.

And these were none of Lin Qiao's business. He and the military doctor treated the injured Dajin soldiers and did not get a rest until the next night.

After Xingzhou was recovered, it was the turn of the Zhending Mansion, which had been occupied by the Khitans for two years. The Northern Jin Army marched northward in one go, bombarded them with several rounds of Zhadan, and easily regained the Zhending Mansion.

After successfully recovering Xingzhou and Zhending Mansion, Lord Wan was so excited that he burst into tears. He immediately wrote a memorial to report the victory to Emperor Wen and ask for credit for all those who have made great contributions.

Emperor Wen was overjoyed, and told the imperial court and harem to celebrate with the whole country.The special minister Zhongshu Shilang, Mr. Jiang, went to Daming Mansion to work in the army.

Everyone in the Northern Army of the Jin Dynasty was also full of energy and beaming.Only Lin Qiao didn't go anywhere in the past few days, and only put on a cloak and warmed up next to the charcoal basin with a sleepy expression.

Nima!Khitan has been beaten away, why is he still suffering from the cold here, instead of returning to a modern apartment with heating?

Another empty joy.what task?It was all imagined by himself, and he couldn't go back at all.

Brother Zhuzi doesn't know what's going on with Lin Qiao, he's not like other people at all, he doesn't have half the joy of defeating Khitan.

Lin Qiao didn't say anything, and he didn't ask, but after helping Chu Lingfeng every day, he would silently watch over Lin Qiao, add some charcoal, and pass some water.

As for Yan Ziqing, he was busy every day, and only took time to visit it twice.

In a few days, Mr. Jiang, the servant of Zhongshu, came with Emperor Wen's imperial decree to reward the generals on the front line of Xingzhou.

The commander of the fifth rank of Zhengzheng made Wan Daren the captain of Shangqingche of the fourth rank of Congzheng.

Promote General Shen, a guerrilla general under the fifth rank, to General Ningyuan, a regular fifth rank.

Chu Lingfeng, the captain of Zhiguo, who was promoted to the seventh rank, was the captain of Zhenwei from the sixth rank.

Yan Ziqing, the captain of Xuanjie, who was promoted to the eighth rank, was the deputy lieutenant of Yihui, who was under the seventh rank.

Even Lin Qiao was appointed as a deputy lieutenant under the eighth rank.However, he had no joy at all.In addition to the frustration of not being able to go back, he is also worthless for the generals in the army.

This Great Jin really puts more emphasis on culture than martial arts. Within half a year, Xingzhou and Zhending Mansion were recovered, and the Khitan people were expelled from the Great Jin. For such a great military exploit, another 100 million taels of gold was donated, and Wan Dacai was promoted to the fourth rank.

And I heard Mr. Jiang said that Qin Xiaoru, Mr. Qin, has been promoted from a sixth-rank member of the household department to a regular sixth-rank household doctor because of his meritorious service in escorting food and grass and exterminating bandits in the Daheng Mountain.

Although there is still a gap in grade between the two, how old is Qin Xiaoru, and how old is Master Wan?

Qin Xiaoru is thirty at most, but Mr. Wan is probably sixty!It took so many years of leading soldiers to fight before he became a regular fourth grade, and I heard that he was not born in the army, and his family was also honorable.

If he was born in the army, it would be even more difficult to get ahead, but like the Deputy Privy Envoy Di, he was the only one who rose from a soldier to the second rank, with a tattoo on his face when he joined the army, and he was the only one since the founding of the country.

With the promotion speed of a military officer, Chu Lingfeng still had to endure if he wanted to catch up with his ancestors.

Of course, it's not good if the military officer's status is too high.For the emperor, it was a great displeasure!

Knowing that Lin Qiao made zhadan and other big killers, Master Jiang was very happy, took his hand, and said with a smile, "There are such smart and handsome men in the army."

Lin Qiao smiled stiffly, trying to pull out his sore hand.Ever since he saw brother Zhuzi's fiery eyes, he has only started to face up to the matter between men and women.

In the past, even if he was married as a male wife, sold as a male concubine, or seeing Hu Feng and Ming Jian sticking together all day long, or seeing those couples in the military camp, he always felt that it was none of his business. Love is far away from him!

After all, both Chu Lingfeng and Yan Ziqing were straight, even if Yan Ziqing said some ambiguous words now, it was because of his possessive desire, and he should have no affection for him.

But it's different now, he seems to have had his rotten eyes opened, and he can smell the smell of love everywhere, look at Mr. Jiang, he just looks at him with squinting eyes.

Lin Qiao was exhausted, and he couldn't do anything to Mr. Jiang.After all, Mr. Jiang didn't do anything other than touch his little hand and say some compliments.Perhaps in the eyes of Mr. Wan and others, Mr. Jiang with a beautiful beard is just supporting the younger generation.

After finally getting away, Lin Qiao quickly ran back to the barracks and asked Brother Zhu to fetch water to wash his hands.

Brother Zhuzi is not qualified to enter the big tent, so he doesn't know what happened, he just said, "Xiaobai, your hands are clean enough, if you wash them again, the skin will peel off."

"..." Lin Qiao felt awkward, how could he tell Brother Zhuzi!

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and the officers and soldiers of the Jin Dynasty stationed in Daming Mansion and Xingzhou had been resting and waiting for orders. They didn't know that the imperial court wanted them to continue to go north and recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun?Still call it a truce.

The army also has their own ideas. Some think that they should take advantage of the victory to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. After all, they have a big weapon in their hands, and now that the recruits have been drilled, only those who are braver in battle hold this opinion. The majority, such as Lord Wan, General Shen, Chu Lingfeng, Yan Ziqing, etc.

There are also some conservatives who believe that the Great Jin should rest and recuperate after fighting for so many years.Now that the Khitan people have been expelled from the Great Jin Dynasty, they should not be entangled anymore. After all, the Khitan people are not easy to mess with.

Moreover, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was already a matter of the previous dynasty. Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been the territory of Khitan.Why bother!

Those who hold this point of view are mainly virtuous kings in the court, and Cheng Kui and others in the army. Although these people are not of high rank, they are very powerful. After all, ordinary soldiers are unwilling to fight and just want to go home and marry The wife gave birth to a child and was reunited with the family.

And now Lin Qiao doesn't care anymore, you guys can fight if you like.He loves a truce, and he goes home to be the lord.

He is very depressed now, and he doesn't ask about other things except preparing special medicines and seeing patients.

Today, when he was bored, Lin Qiao dug out his bags. Maybe there was a truce, so he packed up his bags and went home early.

When Lin Qiao saw the pair of cloth shoes in the baggage that were clearly not for him to wear, Lin Qiao was stunned. Didn't Mrs. Liu make them for her man?He even promised to help Mrs. Liu find her a man!

After coming to the barracks, I was so busy that I forgot about it.Lin Qiao slapped his head violently, what a memory!

I don't know if the man from the Liu family died in battle?After all, in the wars before he came, hundreds of people died in each battle, especially the Xingzhou War, which was even more tragic, with 2 dead.Otherwise, why the imperial court keeps recruiting soldiers, but there are still so few soldiers in the barracks.

But counting the days, Liu's man should only come a few months earlier than him!At that time, the Xingzhou War had long since ended. Although there were many small-scale encounters afterwards, the Liu family's man had just entered the barracks and was just a recruit. He had to train before he could be pulled out to fight!

Lin Qiao believed that as long as Liu's man did not die on the road, as long as he entered the barracks, he should still be alive.That being the case, since I have nothing to do now, I just went to look for it.

Although there are tens of thousands of people in the barracks, they are all registered, so it should not be difficult to find.Moreover, people from the same place are generally arranged in the same battalion.

Now Lin Qiao is a person of high class anyway, and he is also a celebrity in front of Master Wan. If he wants to check someone, no one makes things difficult for him, and they give him convenience everywhere.Within a day, Lin Qiao asked about the person, and sure enough, he was not dead and was working in the stable.

Lin Qiao was still thinking, why did this man from the Liu family work in the stable instead of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy?Is it because he is a criminal exile?

When I saw this man, I realized why he was working in the stable.

Lin Qiao shouted to a man who looked to be in his 40s, with several tattoos and two scars on his face, a skinny man with a hunched waist and a limping right leg, "Are you Liu Cai?"

The groom looked at Lin Qiao dumbly for a long time before nodding, "My lord, yes, the younger one is called Liu Cai."

"Are you Liu Cai from Hukeng Village, Changqiao Town, Anyang County?"

"Yes, my lord."

Lin Qiao took a few steps forward and said, "Show me your right hand."

This time, the groom's expression was no longer numb. He hid his hands behind his back, his face full of horror, and begged for mercy, "My lord, I'm not a thief, nor a monster. My lord, please let me go!"

Hearing what he said, he should have found the right person.
