Chapter 67: The Enemy Attacks
It was drizzling, and the dark army headed southwest.
A big man wearing a fur coat and a felt hat rode on a group of black horses and was about to look ahead. A scout rushed over, stopped in front, and shouted: "The Second Prince, it has been confirmed that the Xia King and the Fourth Prince of the Great Han Dynasty have gone southwest. But they divided their troops in the middle, and I don't know what it means!"
The second prince frowned slightly: "Isn't there any Siexinying following him?"
"Sent!" The scout shook his head: "But in this weather, Xinying stayed in the sky for a limited time and intermittent time, so the information was not detailed. Those people were quite far away and many separated. Xinying was limited, so the wizard stared at King Xia and the others with all their strength."
"The wizard also sent a message saying that at their speed, they would enter the Deer Valley for up to four days. Should I chase you, please think twice!"
The second prince nodded: "Go back and tell the wizard to keep an eye on the whereabouts of King Xia, and to find out the situation on both sides of the Lu River Valley. I have my own sense of responsibility."
"Abide by the order!"
After the scout left, a man came up and said, "Second Prince, I know this is an opportunity, but I still have to think twice. The Lu River Valley is a dangerous place. If the other party has an ambush, we will be very dangerous."
This man should be a strategist, and he is a little smaller than the second prince, but he can still be called taller than the people in the south.
The second prince pointed to the north, then to the south, and asked, "Ulu, do you think the world is the same?"
"Of course not!" Ulu said: "The climate in the south is more suitable for survival, and it is definitely not comparable to our northern region. If the same large land, if the northern region can support one person, the southern region can support at least ten people, which is too far apart."
"That's right!" The second prince pointed around: "Look at what good land here. There will be no snow in more than half a year, and it is much better than our northern region. But even so, they are still disliked by them and are unwilling to come over. It is wasted. Why can't we northerners take it? Are we northerners not worthy of owning? Do we northerners have to live worse than their southerners?"
Ulu immediately looked solemn: "Of course not. We northern people are the most powerful warriors in the world, so we should have the best in the world."
"But over the years, we have to come and plunder limited things and have to pay a lot of warriors' lives. Not to mention occupying them, once the other party dispatches a large army, they must withdraw. "The second prince shouted: "Are we going to keep going like this?"
Ulu also clenched his fists and shook his head and said, "No!"
"So we cannot give up this opportunity!" The second prince said: "The Great Cold Dynasty is already full of crises, internal conflicts, and external pressure. These so-called descendants of Yanhuang regard themselves as extraordinary people and do not take other races seriously. Just one Mars can ignite their internal hatred. And what we are doing today is this Mars."
"The King of Xia is the direct descendant of Emperor Dayu and the most orthodox heir of the country. Once he falls into our hands, the Great Han Dynasty will be truly surrounded by enemies, and other countries have reasons for conquest, and no matter what we do, we will be justified. Once the chaos in the south is in chaos, we will have the opportunity to take root in this rich land."
Ulu nodded, but was still worried: "I am still worried. After all, the southerners are not trustworthy. Although the so-called Xuanyuan messenger said that the ceiling was full of splendor, what would he do if he had a counter-essay? What should I do if there is an ambush in the Lu River Valley? That place is most suitable for water attack. Once the embankment is dug, our 200,000 troops will not be enough to fill it!"
"Don't worry!" The second prince snorted coldly: "I won't be fooled so easily. We have faith eagles, and the army cannot be hidden in the woods. There are hard rocks and low mountains on both sides of the Lu River Valley. If there are not enough troops, let alone breaking the dike, it is amazing to be able to dig a small hole. When the water attack speed poses a threat, we have already returned to the north."
"Besides, King Xia and the Fourth Prince are both here. When the flood hits, no one can escape. This is going to lose his head. Which general dares to do this?"
Ulu sighed: "It is a blessing for the second prince to have such a plan!"
The second prince smiled slightly and ran away.
Deer Valley entrance.
"Huangfu Changqing, come out for me!"
A fat man stood in front of the carriage with an angry look on his face: "Even if your father is here, he doesn't care so arrogant. I have asked you to go there many times, and the King of Japan has come here in person."
This man is King Xia. This time he moved south and changed direction in a confused manner, and he came here in a confused manner. He was a little panicked and wanted to ask Huangfu Changqing many times to understand, but Huangfu Changqing has not seen him. Today, he finally put down his pride and came over by himself.
Seeing that he could not escape, Qin Shaofu took a deep breath, used his true energy to hold his throat and bleeding, and then he walked down.
He was already tall in King Xia, and with a golden armor, he looked even more majestic. This suddenly came off the carriage, which scared King Xia and took a few steps back.
Feeling a little out of control, King Xia hurriedly became stable and asked again: "What do you mean? Why do you have to go southwest? Don't you think you should explain it to me?"
"Have you asked Yao Qiang to report to you?"
Qin Shaofu spoke, his voice was suffocated by the true qi, and his voice was hoarse, which made people unable to tell for a moment: "The enemy troops in the north are attacking, and for the sake of the safety of King Xia, they can only leave like this."
"When the enemy comes, shouldn't you go south directly?" King Xia immediately asked: "Why do you need to take a long way?"
Qin Shaofu took a breath and seemed to have not healed: "The Lu River Valley is a famous dangerous place in the Jibei Plain, especially in spring, which is especially suitable for water attacks, so the soldiers in the north know that they should never enter easily in this season. Those people in the north are actually very afraid of death, and they will definitely not dare to chase after them, so we will be safe."
"So that's it!" King Xia's eyes lit up, and he was extremely happy, but his face immediately turned stern: "Then why don't you want to come over to see me?"
Qin Shaofu said softly: "Master, I was shot by an assassin and I really don't have the strength. You have seen it too. I didn't even dare to take off my armor as I went by, just because I was afraid of being attacked again. Please forgive me!"
"Okay! I forgive me!" King Xia nodded, his eyes turned and asked, "Since Lu River Valley is so dangerous, what if someone ambushed in front of me?"
"This is our place, how could anyone be... "Qin Shaofu sighed: "Let's do this, I'll ask Yao Qiang to take people to the front to inquire to make sure it's okay!"
"That's better!" King Xia immediately smiled happily: "Then let's go, you must rest well, and pay attention to your health."
Qin Shaofu nodded, his eyes full of emotion: "I am worried about it if you are tired!"
King Xia left happily and the brigade set out again.
Yao Qiang, who was beside him, breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I hid it. You were so anxious that you knew to break your throat. But I helped me and gave me a legitimate reason to leave!"
Qin Shaofu smiled slightly: "How do you know that it's not just what he wants to leave?"
"What?" Yao Qiang was stunned.
Qin Shaofu shook his head: "It's nothing, by the way, please help me determine whether this thing belongs to Dongyi!"
Spread one hand and a short arrow above it was used by the person who assassinated Huangfu Changqing that day.
Yao Qiang picked up the short arrow, looked carefully, and shook his head: "I dare not be very sure, but the most used short arrow is indeed Dongyi. Without special techniques, it is difficult to exert its power."
"It's okay, I'm just asking! Take people away first, there's not much time left."
Qin Shaofu returned to the carriage, lay down, looked at the wooden boards above, and a map of the entire Eastern Wilderness appeared in his mind.
The sharp arrows shot towards the Great Cold Dynasty in the middle, not only the nomadic peoples in the north, but also the Dongyi, Yongguo, Hengguo...
