That night, the transfer orders and military intelligence reports judged by the guard general of Heba Army were not sent to the three brothers and sisters of Li You alone. Instead, it took another whole day for the relevant things to arrive. The content was actually very simple, that is Li Youjun and his three brothers were asked to leave Heba Military Fort and go to Dry Leaf City immediately.
The person who came to summon him was not Feiyu, but an outer disciple of the Imperial Yun Sect.
"There is nothing we can do. We don't have enough Feiyu. We need news everywhere. We can only go far first and then get close. For example, the three senior brothers can only send their disciples to come for a trip."
Then Li Youjun and the three people left the guard general, but the disciple who sent the message did not go with them, but left early, saying that there were still several forts in the surrounding area that he had to run through.
After receiving the token, Li Youjun and the others left the fort and rode fast, arriving at the gate of Dead Leaf City at noon.
Compared with the temporary single-function military fortifications like the military fort, Kuye City is just a serious big city. There are various arrangements inside the high wall, but now there are no ordinary people in the city. Either they are fighting soldiers, or they are soldiers and auxiliary soldiers recruited from various places. The old and the weak are nowhere to be found here.
After taking out the token, registering and verifying the token information and identity, the three of them were allowed to enter the city.
The identity of Huangmen Yunzong used to be a golden sign that could be used everywhere. But now here, it is necessary to follow military orders, especially the lazy Qi practitioners who have more stringent requirements. Even the Emperor Yunzong is restricted by this and does not dare to act casually.
And Li Youjun and the other three were not the only ones who were sent back. They met many acquaintances at the gate of the city, but because of the military orders, they only nodded and said hello and did not talk.
"You three, take your tokens and the temporary waist badges given by the city gate, and then go to the main hall of the military palace."
At the conspicuous platform inside the city gate, Li Youjun and the others pointed the way. Then we walked along the middle street and asked questions all the way, and soon we arrived at the Military Palace Hall.
After that, no one cares.
Li Youjun and the other three looked around and found that more than twenty Qi practitioners had gathered in the hall when they arrived. Among them were members of the Imperial Sect's Yun Sect and some casual cultivators. Each of them had a cold face and whispered to someone they knew well.
"Junior Brother Li, Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Lin, this way!"
The three of them, Li Youjun, were also invited by familiar faces. Not every disciple in the huge Huangmen Yun Sect can speak to each other. It's best to know a name. Li Youjun's status in the outer sect is quite good, and he is smart and good at making friends, so he has relatively many acquaintances in the outer sect.
"We were just discussing the follow-up arrangements for the Military Mansion. Junior Brother Li, you have always been quick-thinking. Please tell me, how are we most likely to be arranged in this situation now?"
Li Youjun was also thinking about this matter on his way here. But all the changes happened so fast, so fast that it was dizzying to see, so fast that it was impossible to react immediately. Therefore, there were not many things that Li Youjun could figure out, and he was more inclined to the aspects that the guard general told him before in Heba Bingbao.
So Li Youjun did not hesitate and directly stated the judgment of General Heba.
"Hey! Junior Brother Li is awesome! These deductions seem to be more reasonable than our previous discussion."
"No, these are not what I think, but what Chen Yao, the guard of Heba Bingbao, thinks. I just copied them."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the side of the hall, not far from Li Youjun and others, because they were standing on the side.
"Chen Yao? He still has such knowledge? I didn't expect it."
No introduction was needed. When Li Youjun turned to look over, he happened to see a group of people coming out of the side door. The person in the lead was wearing a black and red tiger head armor. He had a long beard and looked to be over sixty. His aura was not weak. At least it is the posture of the middle stage of Xuanmai Realm.
Liao Qing! The general manager of the military affairs of Tianfeng Plain was given the rank of general and served as military commander!
And behind Liao Qing were three faces that were all familiar to Li Youjun: three elders from the inner sect of the Imperial Sect’s Yun Sect!
"See the Commander-in-Chief!"
"See the elders!"
It’s not that the military commander’s status is higher than that of the inner sect elders of the Huangmen Yunzong, but the situation here is different. The army comes first, and the Huangmen Yunzong is just here to assist, and everything is based on the army. That's why everyone in the hall called Liao Qing first.
Liao Qing didn't stay long. After saying those words, he walked straight towards the upper part of the hall. The three elders were half a step behind, but their expressions were calm and they did not glance at Li Youjun and others.
"Everyone." Liao Qing did not sit down, but stood directly at the top of the hall, raising his voice and speaking to all the Qi practitioners in the hall.
After it was quiet below, Liao Qing continued: "You all already know the situation, let me briefly explain it here. The main force of Yunyan's army was divided into two groups. One group continued to be on the edge of the hills of Pengshan City with our army on the front line. The confrontation started yesterday with low-intensity fighting.
The second main force detoured from the hilly area of Pengshan City to climb mountains, followed the ups and downs of the mountains and crossed our army's line of sight into the Bodaoling area that emerged from the tree branches of the Pengshan Mountains. It was not until the 9th and 10th Army Forts on the edge of the ridge that they could no longer be reached due to the sheer cliffs. The sneak had no choice but to break away and attack the nine or twelve forts on the edge of the ridge. Then it cuts all the way to the northeast along Bodaoling and goes around the south bank of Changshui."
When the situation was finished, Liao Qing's conversation changed and became more sharp.
"Yunyan's move looks like a surprise attack, but he can avoid the strong point of Tianfeng Plain. This just shows that the current defense strategy of Tianfeng Plain is correct! It is precisely because the barbarians are afraid that they are too afraid to fight head-on, so they find another way. . But in order to achieve this goal, they had to leave half of their troops at the junction of Pengshan City and Tianfeng Plain to hold us back. If we don't move, the barbarians can only rely on half of their strength to make surprise attacks.
In other words, at this time, Guochao had achieved significant results in this war and successfully offset half of Yunyan's threat. "
Hearing this, the Qi practitioners below were somewhat surprised and suspicious.
Pengshan Pass and Pengshan City were defeated, and the Tianfeng Plain defense line, which had high hopes, was bypassed. This kind of thing actually turned into a great achievement in Liao Qing's mouth, and it was an unprecedented great achievement. And according to Liao Qing's thinking, it really makes sense. After all, compared with the previous Yunyan disasters, it has now been avoided that the barbarian troops are directly directed towards the capital Sunning, and there is no possibility for the opponent to support the battle in Tianfeng Plains and collect massive supplies.
Even Li Youjun had to say in his heart: This Liao Qing has some abilities! At least this mouth and brain are amazing.
"Of course, the army has made great achievements, but the barbarian thieves have also flowed into the northeast, so we must guard against it! You are all masters from the late stage of Qi-entraining realm to the middle stage of Xuanmai realm, and you should be the vanguard against the barbarian thieves. Therefore, we have arranged for you this time Once we have reached our destination, we will deploy defensive forces all the way up the river."
