Jizhou, Qinghe County.

The north bank of Qinghe River flowing to the north.

Hu Han's general Shi Hu was riding on his horse, looking up at the south bank of the Qing River.

There are about hundreds of Qingzhou cavalrymen there, also watching here.

Looking at the arrogant Qingzhou cavalrymen who were racing back and forth, Shi Hu's young face showed a gloomy expression that was extremely inconsistent with his age.

"These Qingzhou soldiers with tens of thousands of people can march so quickly. If the county duke's troops cannot catch up within two days, the number of people in our hands will not be able to defend Qinghe at all."

A Han general next to Shi Hu also had a gloomy expression on his face.

"I think these Han troops in Qingzhou are just ordinary people. How can they fight together?"

Shi Hu said angrily when he heard this.

"I think it's not these Qingzhou soldiers who can fight, but these Wuhuan Miscellaneous Hus are really waste!"

As Shi Hu said, he looked at the Wuhuan Mishu cavalry in his army. These light cavalry wearing tattered robes were scattered by the river drinking horses.

"However, this Qingzhou Liu Yu is indeed capable. Those untouchables who were originally waiting to be slaughtered had some ragged weapons, but they all changed their appearance after they had some ragged weapons."

The Qingzhou Han Army on the opposite side lost a large number of weapons selected by ordinary civilians on the way from Qingyang to Dongwu, which caused Shi Hu, who had originally planned to raid some cheaper goods along the way, to lose a lot of manpower.

In fact, Shi Hu doesn't care about losing a few soldiers. Anyway, most of the people who died were the Mihu or Wuhuan people recruited from the Taihang Mountains, and even if they died, they would not feel sorry for them.

What really made Shi Hu's face dark was that these Han troops were moving too fast and their vanguard had already arrived at Qinghe.

Although these Han army's vanguard cavalry were not large in number, they were all elite cavalry who could charge and break through the formation and ride and shoot. As soon as they fought, Shi Hu lost more than 100 cavalry, and then the remaining troops were unwilling to fight.

With a great enemy in front of him, Shi Hu was extremely angry and did not dare to punish these fearful enemies too severely. If he acted too much, these people might scatter.

After all, the situation in Jizhou is becoming more and more complicated today.

Wang Jun from Youzhou was driven out of the stage by his subordinates and the Xianbei people. Half of Youzhou was almost controlled by the Xianbei people of Duan tribe. After learning the news, they all began to think of seeking to join the Duan tribe in Youzhou.

Because, although the Duan Xianbei was named Xianbei, there were many Wuhuan people in the middle, and for these Wuhuan people under Shi Hu, they naturally had a appeal.

Liu Yan, the governor of Jizhou in Jin who occupied Changshan, has been gathering troops since the Youzhou incident. Although it is possible that he is going north to Youzhou, Shi Hu, who is so close to him, dare not relax and careless. After all, if Liu Yan raises troops to attack him, he will be attacked by the north and south.

Therefore, Shi Hu’s biggest wish now is to hope that the main force led by Shi Le will arrive soon and resist Qingzhou troops with Qinghe. Otherwise, once he is ordered to enter Anping County, he will probably fall into a huge formation battle.

The number of Hu Han’s main force in Hu Han’s hands is far less than that of Han people, and he can’t afford to fight for his life.

What's more, the Han army in Qingzhou traveled hundreds of miles into Anping County. For the people around Xindu, it means that there is a more powerful force than the Hu people. Once the prestige established by the Hu Han with the massacre went bankrupt in the hearts of the people, it would be possible to declare that they were defeated without a fight.

"The Duke of the County said in his letter yesterday that the entire army had already traveled day and night toward the Qinghe River. I guess that at most two days, I will definitely be able to arrive here."

The Han general said.

After hearing this, Shi Hu didn't say anything, but turned his head and looked at him with a sinister look.

"General Guo, your family is a large clan of Anping County. If the soldiers of the county duke cannot arrive within two days, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, General. At that time, Guo Rong will definitely take all the family members and follow the general to fight the Qingzhou thieves to the end."

The Han man named Guo Rong said.

After hearing this, Shi Hu nodded and said.

"Hehe, that's the best! If you marry your sister to me as your wife, we are a family. The wealth of my Shi family is the wealth of your Guo family."

Speaking of this, Shi Hu waved his hand and kept Qingzhou soldiers on the south bank of the river.

"As for these Qingzhou thieves are enemies from both sides, as long as they can defeat Liu Yu in this battle, the Qingzhou soldiers will be able to stop winning the title of "pseudo-Han" after fighting. At that time, when wolves are around, they will definitely bite this "pseudo-Han" until they die."

Shi Hu said as he seemed to be trapped in some imagination.

He bowed with his hands together and said to the West.

"I have made a great wish to the Buddha in front of Master Fotucheng. As long as I defeat these Qingzhou thieves, I will build a ten-foot pagoda in Xindu City to help the monk turn this thousand-mile Jizhou into a Buddha's country!"

Guo Rong next to him curled his lips with great disdain when Shi Hu didn't notice it.

Guo Rong had seen the "Fotucheng" in Shi Hu's mouth. In his opinion, he was a Hu people in the Western Regions. Judging from his appearance, people who should have the same origin and ancestors as Shi Hu and other Jie Hu went from the Western Regions to the Central Plains to spread the Hu religion.

Although the Hu Sect is also a method to encourage people to be kind, Guo Rong knew that an important part of this Hu Sect was to call for separation from the secular world, which was absolutely impossible in Guo Rong's view.

If they are all separated from the secular world, what should the family do? Who will worship the ancestors? Who will help the descendants?

However, Fotucheng, who spread the Hu sect, had some skills. After several contacts, Shi Hu was very respectful to him and was as respectful as a god.

"General, if the entire Qingzhou thieves are assembled, it will probably take two days."

Guo Rong said, "In addition, the air is still as cold as winter today. If we don't build a floating bridge, we will not be able to cross the river at all. We will leave more than enough time."

Shi Hu withdrew his gaze when he heard this, looked at the shallow Qinghe River water and nodded.

Although the water in this clear river is not very good, the ice and snow have just melted, and the water here is biting cold and terrible. It is impossible to swim across the river.

"Yes, send more cavalry to cruising and guarding to prevent the Han army from setting up pontoon bridges at night!"

Shi Hu immediately ordered.

The water flows gently in the Qing River. If there are enough boats, it will be enough to build a floating bridge in one night.

After Shi Hu deployed the defense guards, he returned to his big tent.

In the warm big tent, an old man from the Western Regions with a pointed-nosed eagle-eyed, a white curly beard, but a bare head was sitting upright on a brocade mat.

There were five or six bald heads in the same costume serving the people, but they were not all the same Western Regions. There were two of them looking like Han people, but they all had bare heads.

"Are you, the great monk!"

As soon as Shi Hu entered, he greeted him respectfully.

This look is completely different from the usual brave and fierce look.

This old man, who was honored as "the great monk" by Shi Hu, was the Hu monk Fo Tucheng who came to the Central Plains from the Western Regions.

"The general is a noble man, so you don't have to treat me like this." Fotucheng opened his eyes and looked at Shi Hu with a smile.

"The great monk is like a god. Shi Hu has something unknown. I come to ask for advice. I hope the great monk will answer it for me." Shi Hu said.

"Please speak, General," Fotucheng said.

"There are many untouchables in Qinghe County in Qingzhou today. Although they were a little untouchable, they did not dare to resist stubbornly. However, since the Qingzhou thieves left, these untouchables from Jin have become very vicious and have killed many soldiers under my command."

Shi Hu said here, took a breath, and continued to ask as Fotucheng.

"Monkey, if I kill all these people, will it increase my sins?"

It turned out that under the guidance of Fotucheng, Shi Hu had already understood many of the essence of the Hu Buddhism.

Although he was still very cool when he was outside, he was already a little afraid of the sin of killing.

Fotucheng once said that if you act too cruelly and commit too many murderous crimes, you will go to hell after death and you will not be able to get a good cycle of reincarnation in the next life.

Shi Hu, who had just passed two good days, is most afraid of now that he will be turned into a beast that will suffer and be troubled in the next life.

"The general has this intention, and he has already achieved something in his cultivation." Fo Tucheng said with satisfaction.

"Fighting in battles, life and death are both destiny, and they are destiny. Everyone can't blame the general for their own destiny."

"As long as you can cultivate your life and redeem your past sins on weekdays, it's enough."

Shi Hu was very happy when he heard this.

After all, Master Fotucheng has already said that as long as you practice more, you can atone for your sins. In this way, even if you kill some people's lives, as long as you practice more and worship more, you should atone for your sins, and it will not affect your future rebirth or your path of wealth.

As for what to do if you don’t have enough time to practice and recite scriptures, you can recruit more slaves from Jin and build more Buddhist tutus that worship the Hu sect.

If the small pagoda is not enough, then build the Da pagoda. If the Da pagoda is not enough, then build the seventh level pagoda.

Anyway, as long as he can atone for his sins, Shi Hu thinks that the Hu sect is a good method.

At this time, Shi Hu remembered one of the issues he was most concerned about.

He asked Fotucheng respectfully.

"Monkey, in two days, the army of the county duke should be able to arrive. The Qingzhou thieves have always been difficult and old enemies. Do you think who can win the battle with the Qingzhou thieves this time?"

Shi Hu knew that this time the Qingzhou soldiers went north to capture Xindu, so this Qinghe was the only place for the Qingzhou soldiers to pass.

Logically speaking, when Shi Le's army arrives and defends the river, it is enough to repel the Qingzhou army's attack. If the fighter jets are well grasped, it is possible to achieve a perfect half-cross attack and severely damage the Qingzhou pseudo-Han army.

However, everything that seemed very sure always made Shi Hu feel a little nervous.

"The Han Dynasty respected by the general, the Qingzhou Army is also respected by the Han Dynasty. In this way, victory or defeat has been destined." Fotucheng said calmly.

"It's already destined?" Shi Hu widened his green eyes, a little puzzled.

"What the great monk means is, who can win?"

When Fotucheng faced the questioning, he smiled slightly again, Baoxiang closed his eyes solemnly, and said in the words of Jie people.

"Xiuzhijie Mountain is here to the place where the place is Wang, and the Pugu is a big one, and the one who is a big one is a turtle."

Shi Hu was overjoyed after hearing this.

Because if the meaning of this sentence Jie is translated in Chinese.

That is:
