Chapter 48 Occupy Qidu

In the Battle of Qidu, 130,000 Lin troops were eliminated, but the Lin troops suffered almost no losses, but the release of 70,000 Lin troops made this victory not perfect.

Even so, Sima Yiqing also secretly praised himself, destroying 130,000 enemy troops, but his own troops did not lose. This record was absolutely impossible in the past, and it could only be achieved by the Si army's troops and Qian Xiaoxing.

Qi Du was occupied. While clearing the bloody battlefield, Si Jun appeased the people in the city. However, everyone had long heard that Si Jun would treat the people well, so people's emotions were very stable.

Qian Xiaoxing and everyone couldn't wait to come to Qidu Palace. After the Shandu Palace in Hu Kingdom was conquered, this was the second palace. Thinking of the gold, silver and treasures and graceful beauties in the palace, Qian Xiaoxing felt full of expectations.

This time, King Lin was anxious to break through Qidu, and did not carry anything. It seemed that he had to enjoy all these good things by himself. Qian Xiaoxing was secretly happy, but the palace was already in chaos. The palace maid and eunuchs ignored them when they heard that King Lin broke through Qi, and they packed up their belongings and ran away, so there was a mess inside.

Qian Xiaoxing led his men to the palace treasury, which was the treasury of Lin. When everyone rushed into the treasury, Qian Xiaoxing was disappointed. He originally expected tens of millions of taels of silver in the treasury, but after counting, he realized that there were only tens of thousands of taels of silver in the treasury of Lin.

Sima Yiqing was also very disappointed and said, "Oh, Lin State is poor after all in war."

Qian Xiaoxing was so angry that he spat and said, "Lin Guo is so unbearable. He has been so poor after a while. It's still Hu Guoqiang. There are so many silver and treasures in the palace."

Sima Yiqing smiled and said, "It would be strange if you don't fight to the point of being poor. You used the money house to slaughter Lin's country more than 10 million taels, and Lin's country built a navy again. What else will there be?"

"Oh, I didn't get much money this time. Even the treasures in the palace were snatched away by the palace maids and eunuchs. It's a big loss." Qian Xiaoxing sighed.

Sima Yiqing thought for a while and said, "This is no problem. These treasures are still in Qidu City. As long as you search it, you can still get them back."

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing immediately asked Hu Suoyuan to do this matter. Hu Suoyuan naturally agreed, but when Hu Suoyuan was hesitant and seemed to have something to say, Qian Xiaoxing asked: "Hu Suoyuan, what's wrong with you? Just say whatever you have. With our relationship, there is nothing to be said."

Hu Suoyuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Chief of Staff, you see there are so many beautiful concubines here, and you can't use it even if you have so many, can you..."

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing laughed and said, "What's the problem? This time you have made great contributions to burning Qidu Granary, so I will reward you one and choose whatever you want."

"Okay, okay!" Hu Suoyuan was so happy that he couldn't stop talking. Qian Xiaoxing turned to see Sima Yiqing and couldn't help asking, "Father-in-law, how many of you can do?"

"Okay..." Sima Yiqing said without thinking. When he thought something was wrong, he immediately changed his words and said, "I can't do it anymore, so I'd better avoid it. I want to live a few more years of my old bones."

"Haha..." Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help laughing. Do you want to have so many beautiful concubines? But suddenly I thought of something and said, "Hu Suoyuan, among King Lin's concubines, there is a concubine Lan for me. She is Xiao Cui's mother."

When Hu Suoyuan heard that this was not a trivial matter, he immediately nodded and turned around and went to look for it. Sima Yiqing and Qian Xiaoxing checked around the palace. The palace in Qidu was similar in size and the Hu Kingdom Palace, and the layout was similar, but King Lin would enjoy it even more, and he created it so magnificently.

After the two of them walked around, Sima Yiqing sighed: "Son-in-law, Lin Guo lost Qidu, and he could be said to have half of his body into the coffin. In a blink of an eye, you will take Shandu and Qidu. As long as you take Shi Guoyidu down, it will be perfect."

Qian Xiaoxing shook his head in disbelief after hearing this, and said, "I was just a beggar back then. I was beaten several times to ask for a penny. I never thought that today would be there."

"You have seized both strength and opportunities well. If you can get to this day, your inventions alone are not enough. The most important thing is that you are smart enough to be able to conquer the enemy and win." Sima Yiqing praised.

Qian Xiaoxing retorted: "What my father-in-law said is wrong. I am alone, no matter how smart and capable you are, you can't do these things. It's all the work of everyone, which is what we are today."

Looking at Qian Xiaoxing's modest attitude, Sima Yiqing nodded and said, "Then we should work harder to eliminate the remnant troops of King Lin. It should be Shi Guo's turn!"

"Well, hurry up and finish it. I think I'm rich but I don't have time to spend it. I'm really a headache. After the war is over, I'll think about how to spend money, haha." Qian Xiaoxing looked forward to a relaxed and comfortable life in the future, and couldn't help but yearn for it.

The gate of Qidu City was closed, and Hu Suoyuan was inquiring about the lost treasures in the palace in the city. Under high pressure, the treasures were taken back one after another, and Hu Suoyuan also found Concubine Lan.

Qian Xiaoxing immediately took Lan Xiaocui to meet her mother. This was the first time since Lan Xiaocui married Qian Xiaoxing. The mother and daughter met, and they were naturally extremely excited to meet each other. They hugged each other tightly, and tears flashed.

Lan Xiaocui didn't expect that reunion would be today. When her father and her husband were fighting, she was the hardest person to do, so she only had the opportunity to vent her grievances in front of her mother.

The two cried for a while, and Concubine Lan looked at Lan Xiaocui and said, "Xiaocui, you are much taller and more beautiful. Are you doing well?"

"Mother, don't worry if I'm in Siguo. Brother Xing is very nice to me, are you okay?" Lan Xiaocui asked.

Concubine Lan hurriedly said, "I am living a good life, but your father is forgetful of his righteousness when he sees profit. I have advised him many times but couldn't listen. This time, he got into Si Guo's current situation and caused it to be his own fault, but..."

When Qian Xiaoxing saw Lan Xiaocui and his daughter looking at him, he understood in his heart and said, "Mr. Lin and I have not hated him to the point where we must kill him, so don't worry, I will not kill him."

After hearing this, Concubine Lan burst into tears and said, "Thank you, Youdao is a one-day couple's kindness, after all, he is my husband."

"I understand." Qian Xiaoxing then comforted the two of them before leaving the room.

In the evening, a grand celebration banquet was held in Qidu City, and a bonfire was burned to roast beef and sheep. The fragrance was everywhere. The soldiers were holding fine wine and carnival. Several generals of the Si army also sat together and had fun with the soldiers.

Sima Yiqing took a sip of wine and said, "I was defeated twice by Lin Jun. I finally got revenge today. I am so happy. I want to drink more today."

Lu Shengzhong asked worriedly: "Lin Jun still has 70,000, which is not a minority. We should be careful now."

"General Lu reminded me." Sima Yiqing nodded and said, "But Lin's army has no base at present, and the food and grass of the 70,000 troops are not a decimal place. In fact, if we don't fight them, they probably won't be able to hold on for half a year."

Qian Xiaoxing ate the meat piece and said, "I can't wait for half a year. We have to rest in Qidu, so we should send troops to wipe out the Lin army. By the way, we have to burn the food and grass in Qidu. We don't have much food and grass. We need to transport it as soon as possible."

Sima Yiqing agreed and said, "If you have a wooden rail car, the problem of food and grass is not a problem. Just build the wooden rail car as soon as possible."
