The attack on Lanzhou City a year younger than that was a pain that the Qing Shun Army could not overcome.

Including Cao Shixiong, Cao Shili's old mother, wife, and Cao Shixiong's eldest son Cao Xuanwen, the young and children of the Qing Shun Army were killed and executed in the office, with more than 300 people; in comparison, the casualties of ordinary soldiers in the Lanzhou City defenders at that time were only three or four hundred casualties.

This left Lanzhou City in a sad atmosphere for a long time.

Although Cao's army failed to attack Gong County and attacked Qingquangou Village, the casualties were even more severe in terms of the number of people, the main loss was that Cao's army led its troops to go south, attacked cities and all the way to force the surrendered troops to be transferred, and the casualties of the direct descendants who had followed the Cao family for many years were not very heavy.

This shows how big the attack on the Cao family and the Qing Shun Army was attacked a year ago.

However, Lanzhou City recently ushered in a happy event that made the governor's mansion look stunning. Cao Shixiong ordered the lifting of the night ban in the city that had been implemented for nearly a year, ordered the whole city to be decorated with lights and decorate, and distributed food and money to the disabled in the city to pass the year. He was a grand ceremony in Guandi Temple to commemorate the old lady, the eldest son and the family of the Qing Shun Army general who died a year ago.

What kind of happy event was spread all over Lanzhou City soon.

"Although the old lady, the three wives, the eldest son Cao Xuanwen and others have been buried in peace, the sadness in the heart of the governor is hard to relieve. After handling military affairs every day, they have to change into mourning clothes and go to the Buddhist temple to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name for the old lady who was harmed by the great enemy Xu Huai, and the eldest son is to escort the second son and the third son who suffered in the capital of the Southern Dynasty. Think about it, the governor pretends to join the Southern Dynasty first and must enter Lanzhou to control the heavens.

The heroic army, while the Chihu King's Treasure Army defeated the Xiaosheng Army and Xuanwu Army, they offered Lanzhou to the Chihu King's Treasure, and they also became the vanguard of the Chihu King's Treasure to the city and plunder the land with the deputy general of Wanhu King. How could the Southern Dynasty treat the two young masters well? But the most wonderful thing in the world is that it is unpredictable. The Southern Dynasty had a fierce general like Xu Huai who killed people like a thief and acted like a bandit, but more were people who were greedy for life and fear death. In order to bet on peace, they secretly sent the second young master back a few days ago."

In addition to storytelling books and legendary legends, storytellers are more popular in the restaurant and perform various current affairs.

When people have too limited channels to understand current affairs, the situation in the world is violently turbulent and the people in the country are living a mediocre life, but many small wealthy families in the city are more eager than anyone else to have peace in the world.

Of course, Lanzhou has only been in the fall for more than a year. In addition to the foreign people who had resentment towards Dayue, most of the Han people were still concerned about the imperial court. At this time, they could only go to the restaurant to understand the things that were happening in southeastern Hebei, Hehuai and other places.

When I heard that the court secretly sent Cao Shixiong's two sons back in order to seek peace, some people were irritable and couldn't help but scold them at this time:

"These dogs in the court are really going to kill people!"

Xu Huai picked up the bamboo hat leaning against the wall and gave Zhou Jing diagonally opposite him. Chen Zixiao glanced at him and called the shopkeeper over. After paying for the wine, he walked out of the wine shop and looked up and saw snowflakes falling on the long street.

It was just October that it was already snowing in Lanzhou.

Ge Boyi fell into Xiao Linshi's trap and purged the foreign people of Lanzhou before the first northern expedition to Yan. The consequences are now completely reflected.

Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili offered Lanzhou to join the Chihu people, and almost welcomed the support of all the foreign households in Lanzhou. On the basis of the Han people in Shuozhou, the Qing Shun Army recruited the foreign residents in Lanzhou on a large scale. The population accounted for more than half, and the support of the foreign people with strong people was supported. Cao Shixiong could unscrupulously attack the Han people in Lanzhou, confiscate the land, houses and property of the Han people, and serve as military capital.

With the support of the Han people in Shuozhou and the Fan people in Lanzhou, they also went south to attack cities and villages to recruit surrender and rebel. The Qing Shun army led by rebel generals such as Cao Shixiong, Cao Shili, Meng Ping suffered heavy losses in Gong County, but the troops remained at around 20,000, and the combat effectiveness was even greatly improved.

At present, except for Meng Ping leading 5,000 cavalry to go south with the main force of Chihu West Route Army, the remaining 15,000 troops of the Qing Shun Army were basically concentrated in Lanzhou, and the defense was focused on Langu County.

The atmosphere in Lanzhou City is much looser. It can be judged that Lanzhou does not think that the Gu family of Fuzhou and the Khitan remnants gathered in the southwest of Xishan dare to make any changes at this critical moment.

After all, in the past year, the Gu family and the Khitan remnants have carefully avoided military conflicts with Lanzhou.

Of course                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              �

The Han people in the restaurant were very angry about the current situation. Xu Huai was worried that this would attract the attention of Cao Shixiong to deploy to monitor people in the city. The restaurant should not stay for a long time, so he left quietly.

The city gate has not been closed yet. Xu Huai and Chen Zixiao dressed as hunters who entered the city to sell fur. They carried long forks on their shoulders and walked out of the city gate with their hunting bows on their backs. The people who were covering them were far behind to ensure that Xu Huai and Chen Zixiao did not attract the attention of spies in the city.

"It would be better if such an imperial court was abandoned!" Chen Zixiao walked for a while, spitted and said.

Chen Zixiao was loyal to Xiao Linshi, but he was also a Han citizen. Unexpectedly, Xu Huai worked hard to capture Cao Shixiong's second son and escorted him to Bianliang, and actually asked Qihe Sect to secretly release him back to show his goodwill.

Chen Zixiao was still ashamed of this matter.

"Isn't it enough to have the chance to catch these two rabbits?" Xu Huai smiled and after making the decision to support him, he had long given up on the monarchs and ministers in Bianliang City, and he no longer had any resentment in his heart. He looked up at the sky. The wind and snow became heavier at this time, and the strong wind rolled up the snow particles and slapped them in the face.

"What did you see if you have to take the risk to enter Lanzhou City?"

Xu Huai and Chen Zixiao walked into a broken small temple in the south of the city. Xiao Yanhan and Zhang Xiongshan, who had previously hidden here, stood up to greet them and asked dissatisfiedly.

"I always feel that I have learned from the paper, and I know that everything is necessary to practice it myself." Xu Huai smiled faintly, took off his hat covered with snow and sat next to the fire pit that had already risen.

Although they had the most dealings with the Qingshun Army, which was under Cao Shixiong's troops, and the most intense battles were also the most intense. After the decision to raid Taiyuan, Xu Huai also brought Zhou Jing to Lanzhou, Taiyuan and other places to spy on information, but in this battle, they had limited personnel, and the enemy troops deployed in Lanzhou, and Taiyuan were several times more troops than them. How could Xu Huai feel at all relaxed?

Before the official action, Xu Huai decided to sneak into Lanzhou and other places in person to watch the situation.

The focus of the enemy's deployment, the number of people and even the strength of the city and the village can be quantified, but the strength of the enemy's morale, the degree of slackness and vigilance, and the degree of obedience or resistance of the Han people in Lanzhou, if you don't come in and see it with your own eyes, it is difficult to write it out with your pen and ink.

"You have seen it with your own eyes, now you can give up?" Xiao Yanhan asked teasedly.

After once again studying the military deployment of Chihu people in Lanzhou and other places, Xiao Yanhan realized more deeply about how well the deployment of Chihu people, or the Zhennanzong Palace, which presided over the Western Front, was.

The Gu family in Fuzhou and the Khitan remnants who concealed the western mountain have been so careful in the past year to avoid fighting with the Chihu people and their surrendered forces. In any aspect, it shows that in the current harsh situation, they will never dare to be enemies with the Chihu people.

Even so, the main force of the Zhennanzong Palace was still called by the Qingshun Army, and there were more than 20,000 guards around Taiyuan.

This does not include the left-behind troops in Xin, Dai, Ying, Shuo and Datong in the north, and how many troops can they mobilize west of Guancen Mountain?

Saluhe, Shi Hai and others firmly opposed it. It was impossible for the Khitan remnants to take out the only few people and horses. Gu's family could send one or two thousand people to cover the flanks in the prefectures and states, and he would be polite. Xu Huai brought three thousand people and horses from Chushan and Puban, plus more than two thousand Tianxiong army captured soldiers. Can he fight against the enemy ten times its own in a steep mountainous land where the enemy has absolute control?

"Give up, why give up?" Xu Huai smiled, "I don't want to go there in person, and I'm still a little worried, but now, I'm worried that after this battle, my Chushan Camp will perform too dazzlingly and will be completely targeted by the Chihu people!"

Although Xiao Yanhan is dressed as a man, her eyes are deep and bright, staring at Xu Huai and said, "It is related to thousands of lives, don't be stubborn."
