"Li Liu's letter said that the man did not have a broken arm." Xu Mu frowned, with a look of disappointment on his face. Based on the development of things, he and Dongfang Jing could probably conclude that Ling Su might be hiding in Nanhai.
But now it seems that the general is not Ling Su, and Li Liu guessed wrong.
Of course, this matter is involved, and there is no way to hide it. When Li Liu returned to Jiaozhou, he had already left behind a secret to investigate.
"Bo Lie, if Ling Su is really in the South China Sea, this king will feel like he has something stuck in his throat."
Dongfang Jing also nodded solemnly.
"My lord, don't be anxious. Li Liu is a cautious person, and there is no chance of finding out anything about the secrets left in Hezhou."
"That's all."
While the two were talking, suddenly, a general came over in a hurry.
"My lord, military advisor, something serious has happened."
"What?" Xu Mu was shocked.
"Dayuan Pass, our sentry camp in Western Shu, started fighting with the people from Beiyu."
Xu Mu's eyes were slightly sharp. Earlier, he had issued a military order asking the soldiers of Xishu not to provoke a fight with Beiyu for the time being.
"This time, it is General Wei who leads the army out of the city..."
"Wei Xiaowu?"
"Exactly. When the front line reported back, the Beiyu people who were visiting the sentry camp seemed to be the former Beiyu general Wei Chiding."
After listening, Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"No wonder."
Before the Spring War, Wei Xiaowu made the first move, defeating Hebei Wuliang several times and killing two of them. Therefore, they were already mortal enemies. But it just so happened that the two young generals bumped into each other before the war started.
It’s hard to say that this one will become the spark of the war.
…
Outside Lizhou, in the wilderness of Yimapingchuan.
Wei Xiaowu led more than 800 exploratory riders and refused to retreat or evade. In front of them, there were about a thousand Beiyu Tanqi, blocking the road.
The general leading the Beiyu army was none other than an old acquaintance, Yuchi Ding.
"General Wei, the lord and the military advisor have orders...not to provoke a war with Beiyu." Beside Wei Xiaowu, a subordinate general hesitated and spoke.
Wei Xiaowu looked gloomy and did not respond. On the contrary, he raised his head coldly and looked at the movements on the other side.
"Wei Xiaowu!" In the camp opposite Beiyu, the enemies were extremely jealous when they met. Yuchi Ding reined in the reins and raised his gun angrily. After the Spring War, he finally remembered the dog name of the young Xishu general. This name, at first glance, is like a dog-popping place.
But it happened that three of the Wuliangs in Hebei were defeated by this man.
"In the battle at the beginning of spring, if I, Yuchi Ding, had not underestimated the enemy, you would have buried your bones long ago! The hatred between my two sworn brothers, you, Wei Xiaowu, will accept your fate!"
Next to Yuchi Ding, a subordinate general who followed him also reminded carefully that the current Northern Yu and Western Shu were still in peace talks.
"What kind of peace talks? I, Beiyu, have no worries. It's time to turn the spear and kill all the Shu people!" Yuchi Ding said in a calm voice, but after hesitating for a while, he did not give the order.
In his heart, he was still worried that the little strategist Chang Sheng would blame him. After all, Hebei Wuliang has disappointed people many times.
"General Yuchi is not as good as a fighting general." The general rolled his eyes and continued to speak. He knew that Yuchi must be a martial arts scholar from Hebei, and he was extremely brave. Under this current situation, if the two armies fight, it will probably lead to a war. Without the instructions from above, they will really have to eat the military stick.
"Fighting general?" Yuchi Ding paused and narrowed his eyes.
"That's right, I can fight against generals. I almost forgot that I am still a martial arts scholar."
Yu Chiding raised his head and looked towards the opposite side with a half-smile.
At this time, the two armies had reached their respective borders. If it hadn't been for the peace agreement, they would have started fighting immediately. Instead of fighting, just as General Pi said, fighting generals kill thieves and boost morale.
"Back off." Yuchi calmly drew his spear and slowly reined in his horse. Beside him, more than a thousand soldiers gathered around him and slowly retreated.
Of course, for the sake of safety, Yuchi Ding did not dare to enter the range of the bow and arrow.
"Wei Xiaowu——"
"I heard that the Shu people have improper ambitions. Regardless of personal grudges or military orders today, I, Lieutenant General, will fight with you here! If you dare not——"
Yuchi Ding paused. Immediately, the more than a thousand Beiyu cavalrymen behind him roared angrily and whistled contemptuously.
"Today's battle between generals has nothing to do with peace talks, nor does it have anything to do with Northern Chongqing and Western Shu. I would like to ask you, Wei Xiaowu, if you dare to continue!"
"Wei Xiaowu, why don't you be a dog with your tail pinned and go back to Dayuan Pass as soon as possible!"
"Shu Shu——"
…
"I'm your mother." Riding on the horse, Wei Xiaowu raised his head and gritted his teeth. As soon as his injury improved, he persuaded the lord's military advisor and quickly rejoined the team.
But he never thought that he would meet his enemy within a few rounds of military orders.
"General Wei, don't be impulsive. Your injury has not recovered. The last general, Li Xin, is still somewhat brave. He is willing to fight for General Wei."
"No need, I want to challenge the Five Rats alone!"
Before General Pi could persuade him again, Wei Xiaowu grabbed the gun in his hand, picked up the horse's belly and ran out quickly. The white armor looks like a tiger in the sun.
"Wei Xiaowu!" Yuchi Ding was overjoyed when he saw this, roared angrily, and rushed out with his horse under his belly.
"You may recognize Hebei Wujinshi Yuchi Ding!"
Before the men and horses arrived, Yuchi Ding held the gun in his hand and waited until he was close enough to quickly pick up a splash of dirt with the tip of the gun and sprinkle it on Wei Xiaowu.
Wei Xiaowu was startled and quickly turned his head to avoid it. Unexpectedly, Yuchi Ding's spear had already come out of the cage and stabbed him in the lower abdomen.
"Death!" Yuchi looked like he was crazy, and the force almost penetrated his whole body.
There seemed to be a sound of breaking through the sky, but there was no sound of breaking through the armor.
Yu Chiding raised his head and was startled, only to find that Wei Xiaowu on the opposite side had already raised a gun with one hand, jumped away from the horse with his whole body, and only used the gun barrel to press the ground. The gun barrel was pressed into a bow shape.
He missed it.
The Shu army in front suddenly burst out with an overwhelming roar.
Yuchi Ding was furious, he drew his gun and swung it down, but it was too late. Wei Xiaowu jumped back on his horse, quickly moved forward, and after a while, he drew his gun and came back to kill again.
Without making a direct connection, he galloped around the open space, waiting for a distance. Yuchi Ding quickly took off the horse bow on his back, his eyes darkened, he took the bow and twisted the arrow in one go, and shot out the two arrows with a "thunk".
Wei Xiaowu cursed, and also circled around the horse's belly. After a half-circle, he took off the other gun from the winning hook, tightened his strength, and threw it roaringly in the direction of Yuchi Ding.
hold head high--
The thrown spear was only half a foot away. Although he missed, he was so frightened that the horse under Yuchi Ding's crotch could not stop scratching its hooves and neighing.
Yuchi Ding stroked his horse's mane twice, became furious, abandoned his horse bow, picked up his spear again, and went straight to kill Wei Xiaowu.
"Wei Xiaowu! Let's fight!"
"Come on!"
Wei Xiaowu held his head high, with an unconcealed fighting spirit hidden in his eyes.
The fighting spirit in his eyes was exactly the same as when he followed his lord to reject Beidi in Changyang.
"Wei Xiaowu is a little stickman, but he is also willing to go to the battlefield with Xu Xiang."
He is still young, but he has been in the army for a long time. The dense scars from swords and arrows on his body are his greatest glory.
