Fu Xie is dead!

This tragic general, Li Guang, who made many military achievements but was unable to be a marquis, resolutely rejected the Liangzhou coalition's persuasion to surrender, and shed the last drop of blood outside the gate of Jicheng.

Just over ten days later, Yan Xing and others, who were exhausted, also set foot on this land stained with Fu Xie's blood.

The members of the coalition were mixed with Han and Hu, and the military officials in charge of military affairs were obviously at ease with these Han and Hu. Not long after, the camps stationed by various troops were arranged and distributed according to the tribe and family sources. Yan Xing and other Jincheng families were uniformly arranged to camps on the southern outskirts of the city.

Yan Xing waved his hand and handed it to Yan Shun, Ma Lin and others for the matter. He took several trusted cavalrymen and patted the camp for a horse. After remembering the nearby mountains, river locations, and the directions and several nearby hills, he then ran to Jicheng.

Jicheng has a long history and it has been recorded in the "Records of the Grand Historian: Qin's Records" by Ma Qian, Taishi Company, "In the tenth year of Qin Wugong, he attacked Zhi, Jirong, and Chuxian County."

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin State, who was alone in Xibi, conquered Rongdi here and began to establish a county system to manage this newly conquered land. During the Former Han Dynasty, this place belonged to Tianshui County. During the Yongping period of this dynasty, Tianshui County was renamed Hanyang County, and its capital was set up in Jicheng.

When the rebellion of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou in the first year of Zhongping, Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others also led their troops to attack. Fortunately, the Hanyang chief Gai Xun was well-defended. Bian, Han and others could only sigh at the city and leave in disappointment, and instead attacked Jincheng and all over Longxi.

This time, the strength of the offensive and defensive sides was very different. In the process of seizing the city, there was no fierce battle in other places except the city gate, so the city of Jicheng was lucky enough to escape the disaster affected by the military disaster.

When he arrived at the west gate of Ji City, he looked at the tall towers and the battlements lined up. Yan Xing stopped the horses with special interest. The dense grass outside the city was trampled a large area, and some grass was dug up by horse hooves and exposed the ground, leaving traces of people and horses trampling. The city walls and the city gates also left traces of chopping weapons and chopping the arrows after the impact of arrows. All of this shows that a fierce battle had just happened in this place not long ago.

At the top of the city, there were all coalition soldiers holding spears and halberds guarding the city gate. When Yan Xing and his party stopped to watch, they became alert. After observing for a while, they found that there was nothing wrong with it and then diverted their sight. Yan Xing took out the sheepskin map and spread it out for a while, then took out a brush to follow the original description and added marks to prepare for errata after his field investigation. He carefully circled out several key locations before solemnly putting the sheepskin map back and turning his attention to the city gate.

After the war, the inside and outside of Ji City seemed particularly deserted and depressed. In the past, people and horses were everywhere. The lively scene of merchants and travelers disappeared, leaving only the yellow city walls and coalition soldiers who were guarding the city. Yan Xing looked around the fields. There were rare traces of ordinary Guizhou heads and merchants on the official roads. There were only a group of scouts and cavalry whistling by. Various Han, Qiang, Di, and Hu flags inserted in the coalition barracks far and near stood in the wind, declaring the victor's conquest of this land.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yan Xing simply let the horse run away. He let the horse walk away from the horse's hooves and walked along the city wall. He remembered that his little sister had become shy before leaving, and she stuffed a wrinkled sachet into her hand in private, and then ran away like a rabbit. While walking, she turned around and peeked at Yan Xing's expression, yelling, "Brother, remember to come back early..."

When they first met, the three of them were mostly in Jicheng, and they started chatting about the archery and archery skills of Xizhou. Li Pian looked a little arrogant, but when they talked, they became more heroic, and had a lot of insight into his conversation. Yan Xing secretly sighed that Zhao Hong seemed to be ignorant of archery and horse, but he didn't expect to make friends with Xizhou heroes like Li Pian.

The three of them were very keen. After getting on the horse again, they ran towards the north of the city. The Wei River flowed over the north of Ji City. The three of them rode up to a hill high in the north, leaving their entourage to rest under the hill. They waved their horses and pointed at the river water at a high place. The mountains were moving, and the viewing was inspiration, and the three of them became enthusiastic.

Zhao Hong's eyes quickly swept over Yan, Li and his two eyes raised their lips slightly, and they said with a smile on their faces:

"Didn't Brother Yan mention the movements after the coalition forces captured Jicheng a few days ago? I wonder if I have gained something after these days?"

When Yan Xing heard Zhao Hong mention this, he moved his heart, and he didn't show any expression on his face, laughing:

"I can't walk with you in the marching army, but I'm lucky enough to be with the horse's tail. The army is dispatched and I'm going to spend a lot of money every day. How can such a big thing be guessed?"

"Haha, otherwise, Hong had relayed Brother Yan's words to Brother Li not long ago. Brother Li thought for a moment and had an idea, which coincided with what Hong had thought for a long time. Well - Brother Li also wanted to see Brother Yan for this!"

"Oh, but why?" When Zhao Hong said that Li Pian specifically wanted to see him, the cold light flashed in Yan Xing's eyes, and he turned to Li Pian for questioning.

Li Pian's face was calm and calm. After the eyes that came with Yan Xing were intertwined in the air for a while, he slowly spoke:

"Pian saw the coalition troops captured Jicheng with his own eyes. What he saw and heard, most of the people in the army praised the cemetery, and they were controversial about the food, wealth, gold, silk and beauty in the city. When Yan Jun heard that the coalition troops took over Jicheng, he was not happy and worried, so he first considered the future movements of the coalition troops. People who heard that they were planning major events must have a far-reaching thought than ordinary people. At this point, Pian must come to meet Yan Jun!"

Feeling the gaze that was facing Li Pian instantly became sharp, as if he wanted to see through what he was thinking in his heart, Yan Xing couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. He didn't expect that in order to change Zhao Hong's topic that day, he spoke casually, but pulled himself into another big pit.

However, when the other party tried to use sincere confrontation, Yan Xing's smile did not change and he said with a smile:

"Don't dare, I always hear it. "A wise man will make mistakes, and a foolish man will make mistakes. Therefore, although he is not talented, he also thinks more about people and things. Unexpectedly, it aroused Brother Li's idea, and he laughed!"

Seeing that Yan Xing wanted to pass by his own temptations, Li Pian didn't care. He slapped his horse forward and looked down at the Wei River that was flowing eastward in the distance. He burst out with a heroic spirit and raised his whip and said to the Wei River:

"Yan Jun does not have to be humble. The ancients said, 'Year-old head is still fresh, and it is almost the same as before. Although you and I first met, they also have similar interests, just like old friends. Now that Ji City has come down, the coalition forces will go north, south, west, and return to the army to sweep the four counties in Hexi several times. It coincides with what Zhao Xiandi thought. Yan Jun must have made a decision in his heart. There is no one else here, so why not just be honest here!"

After listening to the other party's words, Yan Xing still smiled but did not speak.

At this time, Zhao Hong, who was watching the two of them, had to speak. He let out a hearty laugh and said;

"It's so good, so let's just write what we want in our hands and use our palms as evidence, without further ado!"

This proposal is obviously the most suitable for breaking the current deadlock between the three. Yan Xing looked at Li Pian and pondered for a moment and agreed. Zhao Hong smiled and took out a brush wrapped in silk from his sleeve. He opened the water bag directly and dipped it in a little water. After dismounting, the three of them took turns to write down what they thought in their hands quickly, forming a circle, and opening their palms at the same time.

Using palms as evidence, the three of them burst into laughter knowingly after seeing the words they wrote.

Li Pian's handwriting is unrestrained and vigorous, with a character "Xi" written on his palm. Zhao Hong wrote the word "Xi" with a symmetrical and uniform official script with a silkworm head and swallow tail. Then look at Yan Xing's palm, the font is square, rigorous and neatly written two words.
