"How many soldiers and horses has your Highness the Sixth Prince assembled?" Liu Mo asked.
"More than 60,000, not including Jiangyuan Town." Tang Qingfeng replied.
Jiangyuan Town only has less than 40,000 troops, so we have 100,000 soldiers and horses on our side.
"Where is the prince?"
"You should ask, where are the prince and the eldest prince?" Tang Qingfeng reminded him.
"Are these two people colluding together? Aren't they on the same page?" Liu Mo asked.
"The prince doesn't like the eldest prince, but he is more afraid of the sixth prince!" Tang Qingfeng replied, "This change is said to be because the prince received a secret report that His Majesty intends to change the throne."
So the prince colluded with the eldest prince to strike first and kill Wei Guang with poison!
"Haha, don't look like this, you can't change anything." Tang Qingfeng continued, "This battle between the three princes is unavoidable."
Liu Mo fell into silence.
"Okay, I've finished what I need to say." Tang Qingfeng smiled and said, "Master Liu, have a good rest."
After saying that, Tang Qingfeng shook his body, escaped into the darkness, and disappeared without a trace.
rest? How could I possibly sleep!
The evening breeze sighed softly against the narrow window. From a distance, somewhere in a corner, he heard the barking of hounds. Apart from that, there is nothing.
The Sixth Prince's troops have withdrawn from Xingluo, and Ayina is in danger! I had to save her, no need to think twice about that.
However, even if I bring all the troops in Jiangyuan, I may not be Yang Yizhi's opponent.
Another one, Shi Gandang is staring at him with eager eyes and can't get away.
Only 10,000 troops? That was an illusion, Liu Mo was sure. As long as I take action, Yang Yizhi will definitely increase his troops.
Now, not only do I want to quickly defeat Shi Gandang's troops, but I also want to go to support Xing Luo.
And the troops I can command are no more than 10,000. (Bai Chengzong may borrow troops)
After thinking about it uneasily all night, when the sun rose the next day, news that made Liu Mo even more upset came.
The Sixth Prince brought an order: [Generals loyal to him, immediately assemble their troops and go to Jizhou to support him! But Liu Mo was not allowed to leave the border. 】
Of course Liu Mo knew the reason. Naturally, he was afraid that he would be emotional and insisted on saving Ayina. Second, the Zhou Dynasty is eyeing the enemy and must be on guard. The border does also need wise generals like Liu Mo.
In the morning, Jiangyuan Town was filled with clanging sounds and chaos.
The soldiers stood on the carriage, carrying bags of grain, buckets of flour, and bundles of newly feathered arrows.
The blacksmiths were busy smoothing the swords, knocking out the dents in the armor, and shoeing the horses. Zhu Min's men were also assigned the task of mending shoes and cleaning thousands of pieces of clothing.
There were soldiers in the town who took out grindstones and sharpened their knives carefully.
"General Bai, you can't withdraw like this!" Liu Mo emphasized again.
"If the Sixth Prince fails, neither you nor I will survive!" Bai Chengzong repeated this sentence again. "In addition to you and me, there are also your wives, concubines, and children. The eldest prince has always done everything he can to get rid of the roots. There is no baby in his eyes!"
"What about the Zhou Dynasty?" Liu Mo asked, "The border defenses are empty. That poisonous snake is not a fool and will definitely take advantage of it."
"Don't worry, Jiangyuan Town is not that easy to capture." Li Jinliang told him, "If you are talking about Xingluo, I would like to advise you to pretend that you have never met the Xingluo Princess."
There are nearly 40,000 troops stationed in Jiangyuan. According to the sixth prince's order, Li Jinliang will stay with 10,000 troops, and the other troops will follow Bai Chengzong to Jizhou to support the sixth prince.
She still has my flesh and blood in her belly, why should she give up? Liu Mo secretly said.
Bai Chengzong saw Liu Mo's thoughts, so he persuaded again, "Master Liu, would you choose Princess Xingluo and her son, or your five wives, concubines and children in Rong City?"
"I won't give up!" Liu Mo replied.
Li Jinliang frowned, "General Bai, please enlighten him!"
With that said, he turned around and left.
"General Li, wait!" Liu Mo stopped Li Jinliang, "Can you allow me to finish my sentence?"
Li Jinliang stopped and said, "That's fine!"
Liu Mo took a deep breath and made the most important decision in his life, "General Li, General Bai, can you allocate all the elite cavalry in Jiangyuan Town to my command for one night?"
"What..." Bai Chengzong and the two said in unison.
~~~
Shi Gangdang was asleep a second ago, and suddenly he woke up.
What's wrong? What did I hear? Is there anyone?
Subconsciously calling to the guard outside the tent, his attendant quickly came in, "Sir, what's the matter?"
"Go and see if there is any movement from the enemy?"
The attendant nodded and left quickly.
The prince received news that the old emperor of Daxia was dead. Now Daxia is in chaos, and a civil war is about to break out among the three princes.
At this time, it was a great opportunity for Da Zhou to march eastward and make achievements.
The Jiangyuan garrison, one of the Nine Borders of Daxia, also received the news and must have withdrawn most of its troops to support the sixth prince.
Three days later, the prince's order was to begin the siege in three days.
At the same time, His Highness the Prince himself will send troops to Xingluo and take a detour from Xingluo to capture Jiang Lin Mansion.
Walking out of the tent, the camp was silent, the black sky and the endless stars that one could not count even if they were a hundred years old. Everything was normal, nothing happened, Shi Gandang said to himself, maybe I was worrying too much.
After a long time, his heart began to become anxious again, "Damn it, why haven't you come back yet!"
It turned out that his attendant had been away for at least a stick of incense and had not returned.
Just as he was cursing, suddenly, a strange night wind came out.
"It's so cold!" Shi Gandang said to himself in a subtle and confused tone. What he didn't notice was that a strange shadow quietly appeared on the camp tent cloth.
The next second, the shadow raised the sword in his hand.
Shi Gandang only had time to let out a small, rough gasp, before the gushing blood clogged his throat. He staggered and fell to the ground, a large amount of blood flowing on his chest, and the dark current soon flooded his entire body.
"Sir... Your Majesty!" When his attendants returned and saw Shi Gandang's blood-covered body, they roared heartbreakingly. "Ah...here comes an assassin!"
Shadow, the attendant only noticed the strange shadow.
Death fell from the sky and took Shi Gandang's life away, as quickly as the strong wind blowing out the candlelight.
The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty arrived quickly, but no one knew where the so-called assassin was.
"Tell me, what happened?" a Zhou Dynasty general asked, his tone mixed with anger.
"Shadow!" The attendant said nervously what he saw.
"You damn bastard, how can you kill anyone?"
"Not a shadow? That's a ghost. It's haunted!"
I don't know who shouted such a voice, and fear spread in the hearts of all Zhou Dynasty soldiers.
"Shut up!" the general began to roar.
But the next second, the situation escalated further, "Oops, sir, it's on fire!"
When the general turned around, he saw dozens of camps starting to catch fire. The night wind blew slowly and the fire spread everywhere.
"What are you doing standing still? Go put out the fire!"
But at this moment, a bugle sound of "wuwuwuwu" was suddenly heard. That's the charging horn of the Daxia cavalry!
When the sound of trumpets died down, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty woke up. Nearly a thousand Daxia cavalry had jumped over the ditch, rushed into the camp with swords and torches, and entered the Zhou Dynasty's military camp.
The leading general was none other than Liu Mo, who was holding a pure steel sword.
"Great Xia is mighty!" He roared angrily, leading the Great Xia cavalry to charge left and right.
The Zhou Dynasty army was caught off guard when they were killed. In panic, they had no idea how many enemy soldiers there were, and they were confused among themselves. As a result, Liu Mo's thousand cavalry galloped across the camp, killing them wherever they encountered. Each camp made a noise, raised fire like stars, and shouted loudly.
"Don't panic, don't panic! Gather your troops, form up, form up!"
But the general Shi Gang was thought to be dead, and his death was so strange and horrifying. Now there is another night attack by cavalry. How can the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty still have fighting spirit?
"Run, run!" One of the frightened Zhou Dynasty soldiers shouted. Fear spread. Countless Zhou Dynasty soldiers dropped their weapons and fled out desperately.
"Great Xia is mighty!" Liu Mo shouted sternly when he saw this, "Kill, kill, kill!"
