The twentieth day of the first month of the twenty-fourth year of Zhaohua.
Noon.
The dense fog in Wufan has cleared.
The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.
On the snow-capped Wufanyuan, there is a strong killing atmosphere.
Xia Houzhuo's 30,000 frontier troops and Xie Jing's 50,000 government troops met in the northwest of Wushanyuan.
An army of 80,000 people, a vast mass of darkness, was standing solemnly under the low-temperature sunlight.
According to the decision discussed between the two men last night, in addition to Xie Jing's 3,000 personal soldiers, the remaining 40,000 soldiers were all given to Xia Houzhuo's command.
In order to express his feelings, Xie Jing even suggested that the 47,000 soldiers of the government should be used as the front army for this battle!
This was the biggest reason why Xia Houzhuo believed in Xie Jing.
What is most important in this time of war and chaos?
The soldiers in your hand are the most important!
Whoever holds more soldiers means that he can get more of a piece of the pie in this troubled world.
Of course, Xia Houzhuo did not refuse. His 30,000 frontier troops were his lifeblood. Let the 47,000 soldiers go to the front line. Firstly, he could see the combat effectiveness of these soldiers, and secondly... he could find out about Li Chenan. Where is the truth and falsehood of that little thief——
The scouts have reported that there are only thousands of people on the opposite side!
This is obviously not the main force of the little thief!
No matter how stupid that little thief is, he will never think that a mere thousand people can stop an army of 80,000!
In Xia Houzhuo's view, even if 80,000 pigs rushed over from his side, they would be able to drown and crush those 1,000 people, trampling them until their bones were gone.
On top of the Chinese military tank.
Xia Houzhuo and Xie Jing stood side by side.
He had drawn his sword and given the order.
The mighty army has spread towards Feng County like a tide.
The team was not marching very fast.
Because Xia Houzhuo needs to find out the truth about Li Chenan.
He was very cautious.
He sent out all eight hundred scouts from the scout camp.
Go to all directions in Wushanyuan to find out where Li Chenan may have buried the main force.
On the chariot.
Xia Houzhuo stared ahead, "General, I am thinking all the way."
"The Red Flame Army is indeed at Wuya Pass."
"The Shenwu Army is indeed at Dongqu Pass."
"The incident in Kyoto, Dingguo Hou's Mansion exposed the 30,000 infantrymen from Shuzhou..."
"The incident in Kyoto is over, but the 30,000 infantry have not returned to Shuzhou."
"Originally, this general thought that was what Li Chenan relied on to dare to attack Jiangnan Road... But now it seems that is not the case."
Xie Jing frowned, with a worried look on his face.
Upon hearing what Xia Houzhuo said, he looked meaningfully at Xia Houzhuo's dark square face and asked:
"So the other purpose of the general who dares to come from Yanyunguan is to see if Li Chenan dares to ignore Yanyunguan?"
Xia Houzhuo sneered, "Of course!"
"Although Yu Wenfeng returned to Dahuang City with the honor guard of Princess Su Lin, Yu Wenji who guards Jiuyin City is not a kind person."
"He prefers fighting!"
"Without Yu Wenfeng's restraint, as long as this general leaves Yanyunguan, he will definitely bring tens of thousands of cavalry from Jiuyin City to knock on the pass!"
"If the Yanyun Pass is broken... the eighteen states of Yanyun will be lost!"
"If the Eighteen States of Yanyun are lost, Jiangnan Road will be like a naked girl... The same is true for Kyoto, so that little thief must send an army to defend it!"
"Where else does he have soldiers?"
"He can only let the 30,000 Shu soldiers from Dingguo Hou Mansion go forward."
"Even when the general came with 30,000 soldiers, he did not dare to let the 30,000 Shu soldiers intercept the general."
"Because he didn't dare to waste another hour."
"Those 30,000 Shu soldiers ran very fast. So far, we haven't heard the news that Yanyun Pass has been broken."
Xie Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "What the general is doing... will lead to the destruction of the country!"
"If Huangren really breaks Yanyunguan, the general will probably become the biggest sinner in Ningguo!"
"General, aren't you afraid of being reviled by all the people?"
Xia Houzhuo opened his mouth and laughed.
"Thank you, General. His Royal Highness was murdered by that little thief!"
The smile on his face suddenly faded, his pupils shrank, and a cold killing intent emanated from his body.
He gritted his teeth and said:
"When Queen Huai passed away, I happened to be in Kyoto."
"The last words Empress Huai gave me was to protect the crown prince!"
He took a deep breath, let out a long sigh, and exhaled a thick white mist.
"The prince is gone, so what is the use of this general protecting this country?"
"Is Li Chenan's stealing of the country justice?"
"His surname is Li! Not Ning!"
"The people of the world don't spit on him but support him. This is a big joke in itself!"
"So what if this general betrays the country!"
Xie Jing was speechless, he could only nodded.
"The winner is the king or the loser. If the general captures Kyoto... Li Chen'an will be reviled by all the people, but you, the general... are the hero of Ningguo who saves the world!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Xia Houzhuo laughed wildly.
"That makes sense!"
"Killing that kid Li Chen'an and capturing Wen Boiyu alive, thank you General for your great contribution!"
"Thank you for the promotion, General!"
At this moment, many scouts from all walks of life came back.
The newly appointed battalion commander of the scout battalion, Ma Yong, gathered all the intelligence and came to the tank.
He bowed his hands and said, "Report to the general!"
"Within ten miles of our army, except for the thousand enemy troops in front, there is no abnormality."
Xia Houzhuo frowned and pondered for a moment: "Let me, the general, carefully explore Maple Leaf Mountain and Fengxian County. If you find hidden enemy troops, report them as soon as possible!"
"The last general takes command!"
Ma Yong beat the horse and drove away.
Xia Houzhuo murmured suspiciously: "Li Xiaothief...could he not be here at all?"
Xie Jing thought for a while and said:
"That's right!"
"Maybe he went to Pingjiang City."
Xia Houzhuo pondered for a moment, "Then after these thousand people are eliminated, let's go and capture Pingjiang City!"
Xie Jing was surprised: "Didn't he just send troops to Yujing City?"
"Not urgent!"
"Jiangnan Road is the most important thing in Ningguo!"
"We have captured Jiangnan Dao and based it on Jiangnan Dao... There is money, food, and people here!"
"This is the belly of Ning State. Instead of attacking Kyoto, it is better to cut off the supply and demand of Kyoto... and starve them to death!"
"There will always be people who can't stand it!"
"Someone must come to seek my surrender, General!"
"Kyoto is in chaos!"
"Chaos from within!"
"There is still a Guangling Navy on Jiangnan Road in the hands of Dingguo Houfu. If we capture the Guangling Navy, our road will be broad and smooth sailing!"
Xie Jing never expected that Xia Houzhuo had this idea.
He didn't know what kind of backup plan Li Chenan had.
But judging from the current situation, Li Chenan indeed has no chess pieces in his hand that can stop Xia Houzhuo.
He should only have those thousand people!
All that can only be done by oneself.
He touched the sword at his waist.
He looked at Xia Houzhuo's back.
Suddenly, the scout Yingying came riding quickly again.
"Report to the General...!"
"Those thousand enemy troops are rushing towards our front army!"
Xia Houzhuo smiled.
"You don't know what you can do!"
Before he could give the order to attack, he heard another report from the scout:
"General, Li Chenan... is among the thousand enemy troops!"
Xia Houzhuo's eyes suddenly widened:
"really!"
"My subordinates saw it with their own eyes! He also rushed with the thousand enemy troops!"
"By the way, that black donkey is here too!"
"That girl is riding that black donkey, and behind that girl is Li Chenan!"
"Hahahahaha...!"
Xia Houzhuo looked up to the sky and laughed wildly:
"Oh my God!"
"You finally opened your eyes!"
"Your Highness!"
"Your spirit in heaven will bless you, that little thief... he is really stupid!"
Xia Houzhuo was very excited and seemed crazy.
He never expected that Li Chenan would be so stupid!
This is simply a matter of trying to find nowhere, and it takes no effort at all!
"Bang the drum!"
"This is the general's order... kill them all!"
"Whoever takes Li Chen'an's head... will be rewarded with 10,000 gold!"
