"drive!"
Mobei, the territory of the Helian tribe.
Ten thousand cavalry passed by, and in order to avoid Tantai Jingyue's encirclement and suppression, they ran from the northern border of Dashang to Mobei.
Mobei is vast and sparsely populated, and is basically grassland, which is most suitable for cavalry combat.
What's more, Li Ziye's 10,000 cavalry still had enough war horses.
Moreover, on the grassland, the most indispensable thing is forage, and the problem of forage can be alleviated to a great extent.
"Master Marquis, our spies are not familiar with the terrain here, so it's not easy to handle!"
During the march, Luo Xiao looked at the endless grassland around him and reminded him.
"Go and capture some Mobei people."
Li Ziye said coldly, "Regardless of coercion or inducement, let them help us lead the way."
The issue of intelligence cannot be ignored at any time. This is the foundation for the survival of his 10,000 people.
"yes."
Luo Xiao took the order and immediately left with a team of people to catch the tongue.
"Master Hou."
On the side, Han Cheng spoke and said in a solemn voice, "This Mobei seems to be much colder than the Central Plains."
"Signs of winter."
Li Ziye murmured softly and looked at the north, his eyes hard to hide.
This Mobei was obviously much colder than the last time he came here.
God, I really don’t want anyone to live anymore!
If it weren't for this damn cold winter, the people of Mobei wouldn't be so impatient to go south.
In the end, it's all just about survival.
Compared with the war between Mobei and Dashang, he was more worried about this winter disaster.
If winter comes, the entire Kyushu will be shrouded in darkness. By then, monsters will be rampant, farmland will be barren, and the history of the human race may even be completely cut off.
"Master Hou, Master Hou."
Next to him, Han Cheng saw the former lost his mind and shouted several times, reminding him, "It's getting dark, let's find a place to camp."
"good."
Li Ziye came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Just camp nearby and let the soldiers keep warm."
"yes!"
Han Cheng took the order, looked at the Qianhu behind him, nodded, and signaled to set up camp nearby.
Not long after.
Night falls.
Bonfires were lit on the grassland, and the soldiers camped to sleep and recuperate.
Being in a state of marching and fighting for a long time is very energy-consuming. Even the five thousand Rakshasa cavalry and the five thousand Donglin cavalry brought by Li Ziye are elites who have experienced hundreds of battles, and they have begun to show fatigue in recent days.
Fortunately, we just fought a hearty victory a few days ago, which greatly inspired the morale of the military. The soldiers worked together to share the joys and sorrows, and there will be no problems with their mental state in the short term.
"Master Hou!"
When night fell, Luo Xiao, who went to catch the tongue, also led people back and threw a few Mobei men over.
In front of the campfire, Li Ziye ate the roasted dried meat, glanced at the few people Luo Xiao kidnapped, and said, "You handle the people you captured. I only need reliable information. What to do is up to you." matter."
"My subordinate understands."
Hearing this, Luo Xiao nodded in agreement, turned to look at the soldiers behind him, and ordered, "Take the people down and entertain them with good food and drinks. However, if anyone runs away, his legs will be chopped off."
"yes!"
Several soldiers took the order and took all the captured Mobei people down.
"Master Marquis, do you think the Tantai goddess will always follow us?" After arranging the prisoners, Luo Xiao walked to the bonfire and sat down, asking curiously.
"You ask me who I ask."
Li Ziye said calmly, "Don't you know how to use your own brain?"
Luo Xiao smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just asking casually. That Tantai goddess has been chasing us all the way to Mobei. In the past few days, we can't even breathe. We've had enough of this kind of life."
"Eat more so that you will have the strength to continue running tomorrow."
Li Ziye took a bite of the dried meat and said calmly, "It's a good thing she's following us. If 10,000 of us can hold back Tantai Jingyue and 30,000 Mobei Iron Cavalry, the pressure on Dashang will be reduced a lot."
In fact, the key to this war lies in when to take back Baidi City.
The Eight Divisions of Mobei captured Baidi City without any casualties because the geographical location of Baidi City was so important.
Mu Yuan's loss of Baidi City was equivalent to the loss of Dashang's lifeblood.
Pig teammates.
Li Ziye looked at the silent night sky in Mobei and sighed softly in his heart.
This is why he set a rule for the Li family that non-professionals are not allowed to interfere in other people's affairs.
There are specialties in the art industry, and it is really terrible to let non-professionals interfere in other people's affairs.
Shang Huang and Mu Yuan were indeed very good at wielding power, but they were not good at war.
In general, sufficient trust and freedom must be given, otherwise, the lesson of Baidi City is the most vivid example.
There are not many such things throughout the ages.
At that time, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty forcibly recalled Yue Fei with twelve gold medals, so that Yue Fei's ten years of achievements were wasted. All the prefectures and counties he gained were completely suspended for one day, and the Song Dynasty no longer had the capital to compete with the Jin Dynasty.
No matter today or in the past, no emperor is a fool. Many decisions may benefit oneself, but they may not benefit the country.
After all, it comes down to two words: power tactics!
Great commercial capital.
Imperial Palace, inside Shou'an Hall.
The intelligence from the north came. After Emperor Shang read it, a strange color flashed in his sinister eyes.
Buyihou led his troops to Mobei.
Is it possible to go deep alone and without supplies?
However, Tantai Jingyue personally led the troops to encircle and suppress the Buyi Hou, which was really unexpected.
The Buyi Hou had previously defeated the Mobei Iron Cavalry, beheaded Tantai Zhen, and wiped out 20,000 of Tantai Zhen's cavalry. This was a great achievement. If he could achieve more military exploits, he would be granted the title of king upon his return.
Now, the position of King Wu of Dashang is vacant. It depends on whether the Buyihou can seize the opportunity.
To be crowned a king with a different surname, one must have sufficient military exploits. This has been a rule of the Great Shang Dynasty for thousands of years. It can be accommodated, but it cannot be changed.
But, it’s Mu Yuan’s place.
Emperor Shang stood up and looked north, his eyes slightly cold.
He really didn't expect that Mu Yuan would be so useless.
He was given the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but he couldn't seize it.
That’s 70,000 people!
With 10,000 people, Buyihou could turn the Northern Territory upside down, forcing Tantai Jingyue to personally lead his troops to encircle and suppress him. However, with 70,000 people, he could not hold Baidi City for a day!
The night is getting darker.
All parties involved in the business were involved, and the fighting stopped briefly.
Kaixuan, Rakshasa, Guanshan, Donglin, and Zhongwu all had tired looks on their faces. In order to understand the crisis of Dashang, they had not had a good rest for an unknown amount of time.
The emperor's power and the general's desire to serve the country seem to never be able to walk on the same path.
In the military camp in the Western Region, Rakshasa wiped off the blood on his sword, but his blood could not be concealed. There were more and more white hairs on his black hair, which could no longer be concealed.
The cold night is gradually passing, and the sky is getting brighter in the east.
Nanling, the Holy City of Xuanwu.
Li Youwei got on the carriage, Huang Quan drove the carriage, and Bai Wangyu followed on foot.
dark place.
The sky and the ghosts on earth follow.
The main hall of Xuanwu Sect.
Wang Teng stood in front of the hall and waited, with a warm smile on his handsome face.
Not long after.
Li Youwei and Bai Wangyu came under the leadership of the servants.
The three of them then walked into the main hall.
Meanwhile, in the distance.
A figure carrying a big bow walked out, looking at the Xuanwu Sect in the distance, waiting patiently for the opportunity to take action as before.
He didn't believe that Bai Wangyu could always stay by the Li family's daughter's side.
"Sister Li, are you and Mr. Bai doing something?"
In the main hall, Wang Teng took a sip of tea and asked casually.
When Li Youwei heard this, she looked slightly startled. Did the Holy Son Xuanwu see something?
"Sister Li, don't think too much."
Wang Teng put down the tea cup in his hand, smiled, and said, "Because I have been talking with sister Li for the past two days, so I can see some clues that others cannot."
Although Li's sister had done a good job of covering it up, he still noticed something was wrong.
In the past few days, some of the things Li's sister discussed with him were not in a hurry, and they could even be discussed by his subordinates, so there was no need to do it himself.
He had been with that kid Li Ziye for a while, and he had some understanding of the Li family's way of doing things. The Li family didn't do meaningless things. How could this sister of the Li family come here again and again for some small profits? Xuanwu Sect is wasting its time.
"The Holy Son is indeed smart."
Li Youwei came back to her senses and sighed, "We came to Xuanwu Sect to do something important indeed."
What I said is indeed correct. No one is a fool, and don't treat others as fools. This Holy Son of Xuanwu looks careless, but in fact he has a delicate mind and extraordinary powers of observation.
"Do you need help?"
Wang Teng didn't ask any more questions and said with a smile.
"Being not."
Li Youwei shook her head and said, "We have made a careful plan and are just waiting for that person to take the bait."
"That's very good."
Wang Teng smiled softly and said, "Then I can watch the show with peace of mind."
