Li Xiaomo nodded. He had been paying attention to the information about this cavalry these days. According to his observations, he thought this was a group of dead soldiers. When they came to Qinchuan Road, they never thought about returning alive. Their only mission was
It is destruction, killing those who can be killed, burning those that can be burned, and smashing those that cannot be burned. Since they have no specific attack target, it is difficult to judge the direction of their attack. And because the opponent does not care about life and death at all,
Even if you can catch their tails, it will be difficult to annihilate them all.
Li Tieming picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and said in a deep voice: "They must be eliminated in the shortest possible time. If they are allowed to live for one more day, our losses will be even greater. Now the Song family's offensive is fierce again.
After a few minutes, we need to resolve the battle as soon as possible."
Li Xiaomo nodded. Qinchuan's life is not easy now, but the life of the Song family will not be easy either. Without the participation of this cavalry, the Song and Li families would be turned upside down, but as long as the interests are agreed upon,
It is not that there is no possibility of reconciliation. At least the two sides can temporarily cease the war within their actual control lines. In that case, even if everyone suspects that the Song family is colluding with surrounding foreign races, there is no real evidence, and maybe in order to take the overall situation into consideration, the court and the Li family will still have to
He came forward to refute the rumors and characterized the nature of the war as a conflict between the two sides.
However, the addition of the Beijing cavalry confirmed the charge of collusion between the Song family and the three Northeastern countries. Ordinary people are not as cunning as the politicians above the court. They will not understand the key. They only know that the Song family and Li
As soon as the war started, the Northeastern cavalry came to support. This was obviously the Song family colluding with the surrounding foreign races to plot the empire. Thinking of the tragedy after Youyun Sixteen Prefectures and Jiangnan Road fell into the hands of the Paradise Alliance, people's hearts will inevitably be inclined to eliminate the Song family.
, As a result, both sides are riding a tiger and are unable to get off, and there is no possibility of making peace at all. Song Zhengfeng must have realized Cassimbas's cunning and cunning, but he has no way out now. If they want to negotiate a peace, the Li family cannot let go of their national interests.
This sign. They want to withdraw their troops, but the Song family is reluctant to part with the Hezhou they just obtained. Besides, will the Li family give up after withdrawing their troops? In this case, the only choice is to invest as much troops as possible. Both sides will have to fall into this situation.
In the mire.
Li Xiaomo thought for a while and said: "If we want to destroy these 10,000 cavalry in the shortest possible time, we must attack from both sides. Father, do you think this will work? Xuancheng led 30,000 soldiers south from Yinfeng Castle. Xiao Ran can lead
The 60,000 soldiers of the general reserve team went north, pressing down step by step to reduce the opponent's scope of activities, and then encircled them layer by layer." Li Xiaomo pointed at the map and said.
Li Tieming pondered for a moment, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Xiao Ran can unify the army. If we fight head-on, behead the generals and capture the flag, Xiao Ran is naturally the best choice. It is also good to take advantage of the danger and defend one side, but in terms of coordination
Xiao Ran is still far behind you in terms of overall leadership of the three armies. You should handle this matter personally, so I can feel more at ease. Remember, father, I will not give you a time limit, but you should understand the current situation.
.”
Li Xiaomo was not a sloppy person, so he replied in a deep voice: "Yes! The child will definitely live up to the high expectations."
Li Tieming nodded with satisfaction and watched Li Xiaomo walk out vigorously. He suddenly felt that he seemed to be really old and no longer had the all-powerful spirit of his youth. Of course, it may also be because of these
The pressure of the day was too great, which made me a little tired.
After this battle, even if he can win, Qinchuan will be severely damaged. Half of the Li family's accumulation over the past century is among the people, and half is in the palace. The other half among the people is in Hezhou and Changzhou. It was just that they were robbed by the Song family.
At most, he would be left with an empty shell. Then he would have to subsidize the victims to rebuild their homes, which would be a huge expense. Thinking of this, Li Tieming couldn't help but sigh. Li Xiaomo persuaded him not to mobilize all his troops that day.
Qinchuan, just in case something unexpected happened. But at that time, he was also dazzled by the promise of Emperor Zhongxing. He wanted to occupy Qiuzhou first, and then integrate Qiuzhou into the embrace of Qinchuan. Then he plotted Luozhou and Xuzhou Ruzhou to the east.
, so Li Xuancheng's army originally on the southern front was transferred to Qiuzhou. Now that I think about it, it was really a huge mistake. And the Song family is indeed insidious enough. I didn't expect that they had been fighting secretly with Song Zhengfeng for twenty years, but it was so simple.
The boat capsized in the gutter. But Song Zhengfeng couldn't even imagine how easy it would be. Just because you were accused of colluding with foreigners, the Song family in Yizhou could become a street rat. I didn't expect that after so many years, he would still be as greedy as ever.
It's hard to change your nature.
Within Zhuli County, Haotian's residence was in a commotion. Winter has arrived, and due to food and grass restrictions, Hetao has reduced its military operations. In addition to daily routine inspections, almost all of the more than 300,000 troops have huddled near Zhuli County.
, it is impossible to return to the Hetao now. Before the Northeastern Allied Forces in Henan are eliminated, even if we return to the Hetao, it will cause a lot of trouble when we conquer the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun in the future. Now more than 20 people led by Cassimbas
The Northeast Allied Forces' logistics and transportation are also very tight, and their morale has also declined. Once they return to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, they will probably gain weight soon. Haotian is naturally unwilling to let them leave like this.
As for sending troops now, the first thing is the problem of food. Now that the river has frozen, the flow of the Huai River has slowly slowed down, and the logistics pressure is relatively heavy. Secondly, although the Northeastern Allied Forces were defeated piecemeal by themselves to more than 200,000 soldiers, Bliss
The 200,000 to 300,000 troops of the Holy Cult are still watching with eager eyes. Finally, there is the current situation in Qingfeng. Alas, I don’t know how the Song and Li families will fight.
The army is stationed near Zhuli County, and Xinke Dugu and other senior military generals naturally live in the county. This winter is already very boring, and it just so happens that today is Zhang Yuewan's birthday. Haotian wanted to get together with a few old brothers, so he
After saying hello to Fengjing Dugu and others, Haotian's temporary residence suddenly became lively.
"Hey, be careful. I heard that Mistress Lianchen and Mistress Qingcheng are cooking today and are preparing to cook side dishes by themselves. Mistress Yue Wan and Mistress Qiu Mu are also eager to try it, and they will probably show off." Jiang Chenzhou and
Wu Shuangzhi and others sat at another table in the hall and whispered.
Zhan Shutang's face turned pale: "No, why are the mistresses so elegant today?"
Lu Zhen said very pertinently: "I heard about it too. When I went out just now, I saw Mistress Lianchen washing vegetables herself."
Long Zhishan's face also looked very ugly: "Hey, you said that there are only three or two big cats and kittens among us, and the housekeepers and mothers cook by themselves. How can we bear it?"
Everyone nodded with concern. Zhou Jilong said in a gossipy tone: "According to legend, it was Mistress Xin Jiao who was in charge of the chef today..."
"Really?" Zhan Shutang and others suddenly looked excited.
"Originally!" Zhou Jilong said quickly: "Originally, Mistress Xin Jiao was in charge of the chef, but several mistresses were a little bored these days, so they volunteered to offer their services. After many negotiations, an agreement was finally reached.
Mistress Xin Jiao cooks four dishes by herself, and each of the four mistresses cooks one dish. The remaining four dishes are taken care of by Mr. Liu in the kitchen."
Zhang Xingxin thought about it and said, "Well, the good thing is that only one-third of the dishes are cooked by the three mistresses. You should be able to survive by closing your eyes while eating."
Henghui sighed softly: "Probably, we are not even afraid of death, why are we still afraid of these things?"
Mu Shan said disdainfully: "At first glance, you don't have enough confidence. Alas, it's a great honor for us as subordinates to cook for the masters themselves, but we really don't have the luxury to enjoy it."
The twelve grown men at the table all nodded in agreement. Naturally, Xue Sha and the others were not left behind in today's gathering. The senior generals below, except for the several thousand cavalry commanders from the Bloody Plateau, did not come.
Everyone is here. Zhan Shutang, Jiang Shenzhou, Wu Shuangzhi and Zhu Shitan under Xue Kill, Zhou Jilong and Long Zhishan under Dugu, Henghui Lan Gaoping under Fengjing, Zhang Xingxin, Liu Zhiya and others under Xing Ke.
Lu Zhenmushan, who is under Zhongxing's command, is all on this table. There are only two round tables in the hall, and on the other table are Haotian Luo Xiang Xuanji and Blood Killing four people plus a few mistresses present. As for the Scarlet Plateau's
The few thousand cavalry commanders Greentis and Ananda Wangmei and others did not come, although their excuses were that they were rough people and did not understand the sentiments. They felt that eating like this was far inferior to having a big bowl of wine and eating meat.
It was comfortable, but Jiang Chenzhou and others all knew the reason. It was because they knew how scary Xian Lianchen and others' cooking skills were. According to an inaccurate legend, once Tis was lucky enough to eat a portion of Xue Qingcheng's own dish.
As a result, the bloody plateau Wanqi Zhangdis, who was still able to drink heavily after being injured in more than thirty places on the battlefield, lay in bed for a whole day.
Tis and others could excuse that they were too vulgar and dare not come, but Jiang Chenzhou and others did not have the courage. After all, Haotian personally called them to stop them. Besides, they also wanted to gamble their luck, maybe a few mistresses
I don’t know how to cook myself. I just didn’t expect to hear such bad news as soon as I arrived.
Jiang Chenzhou and others also know the cooking skills of the women around Haotian very well. After all, Haotian often loses track of time when discussing problems with his subordinates. This was the case when they were in the Hetao. When the meal arrives, they will naturally
Several meals cooked by the mistress or Mr. Liu were served and we ate together. If Xin Jiao cooked the food that day, it would be a big win, and it was guaranteed to be so delicious that people would even want to lick the plate clean. If that day
If it's Xue Qingcheng Xian Lianchen or Zhang Yuewan, then you'd better pray by yourself, try to swallow a mouthful of rice with a big mouthful of food, and then quickly go back and vomit before filling your stomach. So that they later discussed with Haotian
When I have a question, as long as it’s almost dinner time, I will find an excuse to find out who is serving the dishes that day. As soon as I hear that it is Xian Lianchen and others, I will immediately find some excuse to sneak out quickly. But today, it seems that there is no escape.
.
Zhu Shitan said dullly: "If you don't finish the dishes cooked by the mistresses, you will obviously not give the mistresses face. Especially today is the birthday of mistress Yue Wan, who cares?
, he fought so hard that he dared to pull the emperor down."
Long Zhishan nodded firmly and said, "That's right! But let's agree first that everyone will share equally the dishes cooked by the four mistresses, and no cheating is allowed!"
Lan Gaoping said quickly: "Keep your voice down. If the mistresses find out, skinning you is a trivial matter, but if you only eat two or three dishes, it will be over."
In the kitchen, the five women were busy and sweating profusely. Seeing Xue Qingcheng and others in a hurry, Xin Jiao couldn't help but said in a funny tone: "I told you, you don't need your help here, but you don't believe it. How about you
Put it down first and wait for me to do it."
"No!" Xian Lianchen tilted her head stubbornly and said, "This is a dish I have learned for a long time. Today I must let everyone know that I am still very talented in cooking." Qiu Mu and others all said
They all nodded in unison.
Including Qiu Mu, the four women are all pampered young ladies with fine clothes and fine food. They have never done anything like cleaning the table, not to mention the kitchen. However, a few of them are indeed very motivated and always hope to be able to
She has become the legendary outstanding woman who can go to the hall, kitchen and boudoir, so she has been working hard on her cooking skills. However, the talent of a few of them seems not to be here, and every time they make something, it is difficult to swallow.
Over time, the senior military and political leaders in Hetao also learned about the cooking skills of the four people, which made the four people furious, so they wanted to change their impression in everyone's mind. Today is a great opportunity.
Zhang Yuewan said firmly: "I don't believe it. I can't even make edible food. Huh, this ginseng steam pot chicken is my mother's secret skill. I will show it to you today. Oh, how can this be white sugar?
What’s wrong? Xin Jiao, what’s wrong, I mistook sugar for salt!”
Xue Qingcheng chuckled softly: "Huh, I won't make this kind of mistake. Every time I put in seasonings, I have to take a good look. Hey, what does this smell like? Ah! It's over, why is my barbecue burnt?"
"Li Xiaomo is such an idiot! It actually took five days to wipe out 10,000 enemy troops and cost more than 20,000 people!" Xin Ke said, taking a big sip of the wine in front of him.
Luo Xiang smiled and said: "You can't say that. It's rare to achieve such a result. After all, the enemy is the elite cavalry of the Baijing Dynasty, and they are originally a group of dead soldiers. They fight on the run, so it is difficult to determine their attack.
direction and escape direction. Xin Shuai, if Li Xiaomo were replaced by you, what should you do?"
