In the attic in the east of the city, the wing is quiet.
Xu Yuan sat alone behind the piled desks and repeatedly confirmed some important information on the files.
The overall plan can be formulated by him, but whether it can be implemented in detail requires a lot of professional knowledge.
Being forced to sit in this position, Xu Yuan needed to learn many things now.
Fortunately, Xu Yuan has the old aunt Lou Ji by his side.
Lou Ji is much better than Luo Daofan's ignorant old man.
Ask her directly about things you don't understand, and she can answer most of them. Even if you can't answer them, you can immediately ask others through Tianxun Yuanjing.
After summarizing all the information, Xu Yuan discovered that the barbarian king was really a desperate gambler.
From ancient times to the present, there have only been a few battles that relied on surprise to win and have become famous throughout the ages. Most people who want to use this trick have ended up in a coffin.
If the positions are reversed, let Xu Yuan stand in the position of the barbarian king.
There is a high probability that he has taken advantage of the heavy snow with his tribe to escape back to the depths of the snowfield with the rich results gained previously.
Everything is mutual,
Today's barbarians' detour through the mountains and ridges to the north and south of the city not only cut off the supply routes of Dayan's 700,000 elite troops, but also cut off their own food routes.
If the garrison in Beifeng City were not so empty, or if the snowstorm subsided during the month of crossing the mountains, hundreds of thousands of barbarians would have to surrender to this city.
Xu Yuanzheng was thinking.
"Squeak——"
The door to the wing room was opened, and a plump and beautiful figure pushed in from outside.
Hearing the sound, Xu Yuan immediately raised his eyes and asked:
"How's it going?"
Lou Ji swayed to the opposite side of the desk and sat down, took a sip of tea and handed Xu Yuan a briefing:
"It has been withdrawn into the city. The sudden attack by our flying monsters in the city has caused a lot of chaos to the barbarians. This is a simple process."
Xu Yuan reached out to take it, glanced at it briefly, and had an idea in his mind.
The flying monsters brought source crystal bombs to bombard the barbarian military formation that was unfolding in the east of the city to attract attention. Three thousand cavalry roared out to clear the way in the south of the city, and seven thousand heavy infantry formed a formation to cover it up.
The moment the two armies met, although the barbarians were on guard, a hole was still opened in the military formation because they were deploying their forces to surround Beifeng City.
It was a pity that after the barbarian army gathered the war totem, they immediately stabilized the battle line and dispatched wolf cavalry to strangle the attacking black leaders.
After reading the report carefully, Xu Yuan sighed:
"However, more than half of the Black Scale Army, which numbered over ten thousand, was lost in half an hour. The barbarians are indeed the majority of the main force."
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment and asked Lou Ji:
"Where's Yuan Hao?"
"I'm back, but I was detained by Wu Yuan as soon as I entered the city."
Lou Ji sighed as she spoke: "Looking at Wu Yuan's behavior, if Yuan Hao can't give him a reasonable explanation, it seems he wants to kill him."
Xu Yuan frowned: "Beheaded?"
Attacking out of the city, achieving such results under an absolute military disadvantage, and still withdrawing half of them, Yuan Hao's generals should not have been killed like this.
Seeing this, Lou Ji smiled slightly and said with relief:
"Of course, Wu Yuan should just think about it. After all, Changtian, didn't you tell Yuan Hao before, asking him to put the blame directly on the person in charge of our Xiangguo Mansion in the north."
Xu Yuan felt relieved.
Just talking,
Lou Ji suddenly raised her eyebrows slightly, made a silent gesture to Xu Yuan, and took out the Tianxun Crystal from the Sumeru Ring:
"I wonder what your Highness wants from me?"
"Director Lou."
Li Qingyan's rustling voice came from the source crystal, simple and direct: "Did you instigate Yuan Hao's behavior of leaving the city?"
Lou Ji blinked at Xu Yuan and replied with a sweet smile:
"That's right. Is there any problem?"
There was no emotion or anger in Li Qingyan's voice:
"I don't know what you are planning, but I don't want this to happen a second time."
Lou Ji narrowed her eyes and asked:
"I can't promise your highness, but I am very curious. If it happens a second time, will your highness be prepared to kill me with a formation?"
"."
Hearing these provocative words, Li Qingyan did not make any harsh threats. Failure to realize the threat would be childish.
Lou Ji cannot die.
Anyone can die, but she can't.
Many people in the Black Scale Guard have direct contact between superiors and subordinates. Without her, the intelligence network would be completely abolished.
Both sides knew this.
There was silence for a while, and the temperature of Li Qingyan's tone dropped slightly:
"Send Xu Changtian back."
"laugh"
Lou Ji sneered: "Didn't Your Highness just lend me Changtian? I haven't used enough yet?"
Li Qingyan's voice was slow and steady:
"I miss my consort tonight. Isn't it appropriate for him to stay at your place, Mr. Lou?"
Lou Ji smiled and replied:
"Is there anything inappropriate? Changtian has liked sleeping in the same room with me since he was a child."
Li Qingyan was completely chilled:
"Since you like me so much, how about Mr. Lou come into my house and become my concubine when I get married?"
"."
Lou Ji was about to retort when she saw Xu Yuan suddenly shook his head at him.
In fact, Xu Yuan was very happy to watch the fun.
When two strong women met, the result was this, without giving in.
If his cultivation allowed, given Li Qingyan's character, he would probably start a fight with Lou Ji, an old aunt.
However, Xu Yuan knew the true meaning of their words.
Li Qingyan and Lou Ji seemed to be fighting over him, but in fact one wanted to take him as a hostage to keep the Prime Minister's Mansion from moving, while the other wanted to take him out of the city and run away.
When Lou Ji saw Xu Yuan's actions, she frowned slightly and said via voice:
"Changtian, are you really not going to leave the city? If you don't leave, you may not be able to leave."
Xu Yuan smiled slightly and said the same message:
"Sister, you said before that even the children of the sect leaders and elders were stopped by Li Qingyan?"
Lou Ji’s voice was slightly harsh:
"They were stopped because their status was not noble enough. Changtian, you are different."
"Sister, I know I'm different."
Xu Yuan chuckled lightly. After he finished speaking, he shook his head calmly and looked in the direction of Nancheng:
“Stay in your position and bear your responsibilities.
"Those 10,000 Blackscale Army soldiers were able to fear life and death because of my order. Naturally, I cannot be ashamed of their sacrifice. I need to stay in Beifeng City to do something."
Lou Ji glanced at Xu Yuan with complicated eyes, hung up on Tianxun Yuanjing, and asked seriously:
"Changtian, now that such a change has occurred, I have to transport the Yunqi Bomb and those Sumeru Rings myself. I can't stay with you in the future. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes." Xu Yuan nodded equally seriously.
"Okay." Lou Ji sighed softly:
Xu Yuan smiled slightly and half-joked:
"Thank you. I thought I was disobedient. Sister, you were going to knock me out and take me away."
Lou Ji rolled her eyes:
"On the contrary, your father told me to support your actions. I will give you the contact information of several spies in the city. If the city is lost, they will try their best to help you escape."
Xu Yuan stopped talking nonsense and knocked on the table:
"Sister, okay, see you later, but I still have a few things I want you to do before you leave. Can you help me see if it's feasible?"
Lou Ji curled her lips, showing a hint of resentment:
"We are getting better and better at calling people over time. Let's talk about it. If you can be a sister, you must do it."
"."
"."
"."
After everything was explained and Xu Yuan was given a big hug, Lou Ji left.
Xu Yuanze rode alone in a carriage to the Beifeng Mansion Office where Li Qingyan was staying.
At two quarters of an hour, he was at the entrance of the Houfu Yamen.
This is a wide avenue with reports and notices posted on both sides. The tightly dispatched troops and the ruts transporting the defense equipment have crushed the snow on the ground into slush.
After taking out the token from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Yuan entered the government office unimpeded.
The interior was heavily guarded, with tall and burly soldiers stationed at their posts holding their swords.
As soon as he entered the school grounds outside the inner hall, Xu Yuan subconsciously stopped.
I saw a few strong men wearing thin cloth, their hands tied behind their backs, kneeling in the snow, and behind them stood a few uniformed soldiers holding broadswords.
The cultivation level is not weak, two are fourth grade, two are fifth grade.
There are generals of the Black Scale Guard and generals of the Yulin Guard who are responsible for guarding the city gate.
Two each.
While he was thinking, the blade fell.
"bass--"
The head fell to the ground and rolled down, and the bright red blood spurting out from the severed head was particularly eye-catching on the white snow.
"."
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan knew in his heart the power that Li Qingyan gave him, so he showed a hint of surprise.
After taking three breaths and calming down his expression, Xu Yuan frowned and continued to step forward.
He suddenly found that he had changed a lot.
In the past year, I have been used to seeing blood and blood, and the scenes of people falling to the ground have almost made me numb.
Along the way, my hands were stained with the blood of many people.
There are enemies, there are innocents, and now there are also our own people.
Sigh,
Xu Yuan stepped up the stairs and entered the military meeting hall.
