"how come……"
"But General Qin Qiong?"
Niu Gao stood up directly and asked loudly below.
"It's Qin. Who are you?"
Zhang Xian and Niu Gao looked at each other. The two led their troops directly out of the jungle, rode their horses to the front of the Xuanjia Army, and immediately dismounted and saluted: "Zhang Xian, pay homage to General Qin!"
"Why are you two here?"
"General, we are ordered by Commander-in-Chief Yue to ambush Su Gaiwen's army here!"
"What!"
Qin Qiong's expression changed slightly, she looked at Zhang Xian suddenly and asked, "Didn't Su Gaiwen lead his army here?"
"Never!"
"I have been waiting here for a whole day and night, and I have not found any trace of the enemy!"
"not good!"
Qin Qiong's expression changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "Is it possible that they really marched eastward, passing through Xun'an and attacking Donghuai?"
"General Qin, what's going on?"
"His Highness guessed that Su Gaiwen might march eastward and take Donghuai directly, so he ordered us to pursue him all the way. However, Su Gaiwen's men were all light cavalry, and my Xuanjia Army was marching slowly, and I lost track of it!"
"So, they indeed led their army eastward and entered Xunan County!"
"Xun'an..."
Both Zhang Xian and Niu Gao realized the seriousness of the matter. Xun'an was the fiefdom of the sixth prince, Wang Ningxun, and had no troops to defend it. If Su Gaiwen really moved eastwards, hundreds of thousands of people in Xun'an would be destroyed. I'm afraid something will happen.
"General Zhang, General Niu, please lead your army back quickly. I will lead my army eastward. There is no room for loss in Changyan City."
"promise!"
…
Northern Territory.
A battle that lasted for two days and nights finally ended. The Zhenguo Army combined with Lan Yu's 20,000 cavalry, defeated the main force of more than 100,000 Mobei, and captured the Desert Army general Ami Khan!
After a battle, Li Jin seemed to have aged more than ten years, with his mottled hair messily covering his forehead, adding to his old appearance.
"Commander!"
Seeing Li Jin walking over, the generals around him saluted.
Li Xiuning sat withered on the ground, holding a corpse in his arms, his face full of grief.
"Father!"
"Here, put Yan'er on my back, and you guys can help me."
"Commander, let the end come!"
"Master, let me come!"
Wu Zhou also came forward, but Li Jin shook his head and said with a smile: "Since I was a child, I have never betrayed this kid. He was not at home when he was a child. Every time I returned to Beijing, he would complain to me about who bullied him. ."
"Later, when I grew up, he was taken by my side when I was twelve or thirteen years old, and he followed me through hardships on the border."
"Why!"
Li Jin sighed sadly, with a bit of guilt on his face, but he smiled again: "Come on, daddy will carry you and take you home!"
"Hey!"
Li Jin grabbed Li Yan's arms and struggled to lift him up. Wu Zhou and several generals followed closely behind him to support him, with a sad look on their faces.
"Commander!"
"I brought this thief back."
"Kneel down!"
A burly man suddenly kicked Ami Khan in the leg, and several men nearby swarmed him, punching and kicking him and killing half of his life.
"Commander, the last general failed to protect the young general, please punish him!"
Hundreds of old soldiers came forward and knelt in front of Li Jin, their faces full of self-blame.
Li Jin shook his head slightly, shook his arms, and lifted Li Yan's body up.
"Everyone get up!"
"Destiny is determined by God, I don't blame you."
"General, what should I do with this officer?"
Li Jin looked at the dying Ami Khan. The latter's face was covered with blood stains, his eyes were staring at Li Jin, and he suddenly laughed: "Li Jin, your son was killed by me myself!"
"Do you feel good?"
"Hahahaha, I originally planned to capture your daughter alive, but I didn't expect that your rescue would come so quickly. Now, if I kill you, the only son of the Li family, I will cut off your Li family bloodline. How about that?"
"Hahahaha, come on, kill grandpa!"
Amihan's face was filled with a ferocious smile, but Li Jin shook his head and said calmly: "Over the years, more than 300,000 Mobei barbarians have died at the hands of my commander, and I, Da Yu'erlang, have also killed countless One hundred thousand people were buried on this desert border."
"So what if my commander's son died in the battle? He was just one of the tens of millions who died on this border!"
"Commander, I am proud of my son. The ancestors of my Li family are also enough to smile under the Nine Springs."
"Ami Khan, my cavalry of Dayu will eventually step into the desert one day and massacre you, the Eight Barbarians of the Mobei, just like they did three years ago!"
"I will not kill you, but will let you live well. One day, you, the king of the Eight Barbarians in Mobei, will kneel down in front of my son's grave with you!"
"We'll see."
Li Jin's tone was very calm, but also unusually firm, and there was a hint of hope in his eyes.
"Take him down, keep him under strict supervision, and let him live well."
"promise!"
…
Xunan County.
At night, the spring night is not as lonely as the autumn night. Instead, all things compete and grow quietly.
The dull sound of horse hoofs resounded on the dark ancient road, and knights holding torches waved their whips again and again.
"Su Shuai, Xun'an is ahead."
"We will run out of food tomorrow."
"Let's take action tonight."
A general's eyes were filled with excitement, and he spoke to Su Gaiwen beside him.
"Um!"
"The damn white-robed army has been chasing us all the way for the past two days. In order to cut off the rear, I gave up Wanqi again!"
"My commander, an army of 150,000, pressed against the city. We lost more than 80,000 troops under King Yu's city. Now there are only 60,000 remnant troops left!"
"Today's shame will be repaid a hundredfold by me."
Seeing the indignant look on Su Gaiwen's face, the general next to him also felt anger burning in his chest.
"There is no need to be angry, Commander. Forty thousand cavalry are enough to sweep through the whole county of Xunan."
"Tonight, I will make Dayu pay the price."
"Pass my order, the troops will be divided into three groups, and within one night, Xun'an County will be bloodbathed!"
"promise!"
…
Prince Xun'an's Mansion.
When the moonlight entered the house, Ning Xun was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, with a beautiful maid serving beside him, holding grapes brought back from the north of the Great Wall, looking particularly comfortable.
"Your Majesty!"
The middle-aged man with a goatee strode outside the pavilion, with a somewhat solemn look on his face.
"The scouts came to report that Su Gaiwen's cavalry has divided into three groups and is heading towards our Xunan County."
"Um!"
"Let our men move!"
"My subordinates have made arrangements. This time, we have used the hidden thorn. We can take Su Gaiwen's head tonight."
"I don't want Su Gaiwen's head!" Ning Xun's eyes fell sharply on the middle-aged man, and he said coldly: "Xun'an is my territory, and the people of Xun'an are all my subjects. Anyone who trespasses on my Xun'an is my own." An, no matter how many people come, I don’t want anyone to get out alive.”
"promise!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we have set up ambushes and traps at various key roads in Xunan. There will be good news tomorrow morning!"
"Go!"
