The thin sun rose into the air in the bitter cold wind. Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili did not gather troops to fight out of Kelan City, and the family members had just rushed through peach blossoms after a night of wading through mountains and rivers.

Taohua Chong is a rare dangerous place in the southern section of Guancen Mountain. In addition to the steep terrain ridges from north to south, there is also a stream on the north side that is transported into the Yellow River, forming a large rift valley to block the passage of people. Basically, as long as Xu Huai and his friends stared at Taohua Chong and prevent the enemy cavalry from passing through there, Cao Shixiong wanted to send a team of family members who intercepted the fleeing west, he could only detour hundreds of miles from the valley road southwest of Loufan County.

The snow on the southern mountain road is thick, and even if the cavalry travels hundreds of miles at this time, it will take a lot of time to go.

What's more, Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili could call in Kelan City at this time, and they had not sent troops to occupy Loufan County at this time, so they had too many places to worry about.

At this point, this raid can be said to have successfully completed the predetermined goal:

Xu Huai and his friends first interrupted the rebels' siege of Guangwuzhai and then used Guangwuzhai as a springboard to attack Xishan. Even if they temporarily forced the rebels to evacuate from near Guangwuzhai, they could only fight for a few extremely critical days for the transfer within Xishan.

At the same time, they also attacked the rebels' arrogance at the lowest cost and further damaged their vitality; successfully rescued nearly 300 generals and small families in Lanzhou; and in Shuozhou, except for the remnants of the Western Army stranded in Jingong Mountain, the rest of the people and horses basically retreated into the Western Mountains.

After eating wheat cakes and jerky, Xu Huai and the others also stepped on the horse and stepped onto the road to the depths of Guancen Mountain.

Wang Gaoxing and Qian Zerui were not good at riding, let alone walking on horseback in uneven valleys. Xu Huai walked with them and arranged for people to help them lead horses to avoid any accidents on the way.

"Apart from some scouts cruising around the periphery, the rebels have not dared to send troops to chase him from Kelan. We calmly retreated into the prefecture. There is no problem, but there are a few things, and we still have to find two men to determine it!" Xu Huai grabbed the reins with Wang Gaoxing and Qian Zerui on the way to evacuate.

Wang Gaoxing and Qian Zerui were truly escaping from death at this time. Looking at the mountains to the west and the almost invisible city of Kelan City, I was still very upset.

They escaped from death, but the Hedong was almost ruined.

"If there is anything, please tell me." Wang Gaoxing and Qian Zerui withdrew their gaze from a distance and bowed to Xu Huai.

"Hedong is about to be broken, and no one can make the world come back. We can only go to the prefectures to avoid disasters - if everything is followed by the control of the Linfu Army and the Ma Si, it is natural to hand over the third son of Cao Shixiong to the Linfu Army and the Ma Si, right?" Xu Huai looked at Wang Gaoxing, and Qian Zerui and the other two asked.

Hedong was in chaos, Liu Shizhong died in battle, Guo Zhongxiong was besieged in Yingzhou City, and Yanmen Pass was lost. It is hard to imagine that Xinzhou could last for a few days, and the enemy cavalry could kill the city of Taiyuan at any time.

The remaining forces in Lanzhou avoided the Linfu Road nearby. According to the rules of the court, in an emergency, they naturally had to accept the restraint of the Linfu Road Army, which was the same level as the Marshal of the State Administration, which was in the same level as the State Administration. This is beyond doubt.

Zhu Run and Lei Teng ignored Shuozhou's sending people to contact him, and directly sent people to talk to him about Xiang, and led troops from Lan Gu to the prefectures. In terms of court laws, there was no problem at all.

The Lanzhou Department was in chaos, and the Hedong Department was too busy to take care of themselves. The Shuozhou Inspection Department, which belongs to the Lanzhou Military and Madu Supervisory Department, had no independent judicial power. The civil affairs and prison trials were directly under the jurisdiction of the State Court and the Department of Justice. Of course, all the Han people in Shuozhou moved out before, and there was no civil affairs and prison trials. Only a small inspection department was in charge of a state.

Xu Huai led his troops to raid Kelan and captured such important prisoners such as Cao Xuanwen. After they arrived in the prefecture, they should also hand over to the Masi of the Linfu Army.

The Gu family inherited the position of the Ludu Army Office of Linfu. In the past 100 years, the Gu family's children have been serving Dayue's two prefectures as loyal and kind for generations.

However, in the face of this tremendous disaster of the destruction of the tribe and the country, Xu Huai felt that even if Gu did not have the will to surrender to the enemy at this time, he might not have been incompatible with the rebels and the Chihu people, and he was determined to the death and decisive.

Therefore, if he really wanted to hand over Cao Shixiong's third son to the Ma Si of the Linfu Army, the biggest possibility was that Gu would escort them to Bianjing for disposal. However, due to various involvement in the court, it was most likely that Cao Shixiong's third son would be unable to execute Cao Shixiong's third son.

Cao Xuanwu and Cao Xuanxing were underage and did not commit any evil deeds. Xu Huai could hand him over to Linfu Road or take him to Bianjing from Linfu Road to deal with him. However, Cao Xuanwen was an important participant in the rebellion of the Qing Shun Army and the plunder of Kelan. Xu Huai could not hand him over to Linfu Road Ma Si and had a chance to survive.

Of course, this is one of them.

What Xu Huai cares more about whether the remaining forces in Lanzhou can maintain their independence to the greatest extent after they withdraw into the prefecture and accept the control of the Linfu Army and Ma Si.

If the Lanzhou people and horses disperse the enemy and enter the prefectures to avoid disaster, there is no doubt that everyone will be taken over by the Linfu Army Ma Si.

If there were no king in the court, the greatest possibility of thousands of Tongbaishan soldiers would be directly assigned to the Linfu Army and Ma Si to accept the rule and completely lose their independence.

Bian Jing issued an edict to serve the king, and the edict would only be issued to the Linfu Road Army Masi.

Which army and horse to arrange for the king on Linfu Road is the decision-making power of Gu Jiqian, and the people in Tongbai Mountain have no right to argue.

Even if there is a king who fights in the court, the Tongbai Mountain soldiers cannot maintain a certain degree of independence from now on. Whether they can receive a legitimate opportunity to go south in the future is a confusing account.

Of course, it is not impossible for the remaining forces in Lanzhou to maintain a certain degree of independence.

The level of the Shuozhou Inspection Department is too low and is not qualified to maintain independence. Moreover, they have voluntarily given up on Shuozhou due to the situation.

However, Cao Shixiong rebelled and surrendered to the enemy. As the prefectural magistrate, Wang Gaoxing naturally took over the military and horse chief and the provincial court. The framework of the Lanzhou official team such as Wang Gaoxing and Qian Zerui was still there. They were able to take over the control of the Linfu Army and Ma Si in the name of the Lanzhou Military and Ma Si and the State Court.

At this time, not only the soldiers of Tongbai Mountain, but even the soldiers and horses of Jie Zhong, Zhu Run and Lei Teng will continue to be retained in the establishment of the Lanzhou Military and Horse Commission, thus ensuring the corresponding independence to the greatest extent; only in this way can they truly become a group of forces under Wang Bing.

However, this requires Wang Gaoxing, Qian Zerui and others to stand up and take on this stalemate and be willing to tie Wang Bing up.

Wang Gaoxing and Qian Zerui didn't know how deeply Wang Fan would be implicated by Cao Shixiong's rebellion. If he were to him, of course they would first think about Mingzhe protecting himself and not to go to this muddy water.

After experiencing this disaster, they also consider that everything in front of them is a huge disaster. Do they still have room to cherish their own health and protect themselves?

Even when Wang Bing was in Lanzhou at that time, he had an unshirkable responsibility. However, Wang Gaoxing and Qian Zerui thought about so many ruling ministers in the court, they could not imagine who was more qualified and capable of promoting and presiding over the subsequent work of serving the king.

"If the court could listen to the advice of Wang Jue Gong earlier, Hedong would have fallen into such a situation. Although we are not filial, we can only do our hard work!" Wang Gaoxing and Qian Zerui said in a real voice.

Cao Xuanwen was finally hanged by Xu Huai and his friends in the name of the State Court and the Minister's Court when Xu Huai and his friends retreated to Taohua Chong, and hung them on an old locust tree with a century of vicissitudes of life.

Cao Shixiong personally led 800 cavalry to chase and rush to the peach blossoms. At dusk, the last afterglow shone on Cao Xuanwen's pale face, which was no longer as beautiful as anyone.

The old Huaishu also carved a verdict for hanging Cao Xuanwen with a knife, as well as the number "All Hu Nu and Dogs Should Be Killed" engraved by Xu Huai himself holding the knife.

When Cao Shixiong saw this scene, he almost fell from the horse's back and roared to the sky: "I and Xu Huai Dog Thief are incompatible!"

In the inner city of Datong, the buildings lined up in the rows of buildings in the mansion were also covered with snow.

Under the setting sun, the snow on the eaves and walls appeared with a strange color of blood.

Wululie's burly body stood in the courtyard, looking at the wintersweet blooming quietly in the corner.

Moli suddenly walked in, knelt on the ground "stop" and shouted: "Zong King, Moli suddenly made a mistake, please punish the Sect King!"

"Do you know where the mistake is?" Yan Muchi stood beside Wululie, staring at Molihu and asked sternly.

Moli said: "Xu Huai, the garrison of Shuozhou, jumped out of the siege and raided the city of Kelan, forcing Cao Shixiong to withdraw his troops from Guangwu, causing our combat intentions on the west wing to fail too much at this moment. The fundamental reason is that I underestimate the enemy too much and urgently force Cao Shixiong to send troops into Langu to attack Guangwu, so that there was too much space in the middle!"

"The arrangement of Molihu and the others on the flank was to let them get exercise. Unexpectedly, in addition to Xiao Linshi, the Shuozhou garrison was also very powerful and should not have been handed over to Molihu to deal with," Wulu Lie waved to Yan Muchi and said, "Don't blame Molihu too much. The stricter we are, the more likely they make mistakes. But I think that Khan's father was bullied by the surrounding tribes on his journey of weakness. He endured for more than ten years, and then stumbled through some wrong paths, and eventually he relied on the Heaven of Longevity.
