Among the more than ten prefectures and counties in the Hetao, Dingzhou has the largest population and the most prosperous economy. However, in the battle that day, more than one million people were massacred by the coalition forces, and the remaining more than one million people all fled to the surrounding Kezhou and Yanzhou.
area. Although people are now returning one after another, Li Xiaomo didn't see a few people along the way. Although the soldiers around him didn't speak, Li Xiaomo and the other three could still feel the strong warmth coming from each other.
hostility.
Feeling this, Li Xiaomo and Sheng Lanxin have been silent. They are both friends of Hetao and have been kind to Hetao. And these people in front of them are just the most ordinary soldiers, but they are looking at themselves
If this is the case when waiting for someone, you can imagine what the senior officials and ordinary people in Hetao are thinking.
Fengjing was obviously aware of this, so he said softly: "Brother Li, Holy Fairy, we in Hetao and the camp you represent have different hatreds. However, you are not the same as them. When things happened, you
They didn’t know anything about it, and later they strongly opposed it. But you didn’t change the situation. My eldest sister and my lord have both said that you and your camp cannot be treated equally. You will always be our friends in the Loop.”
Li Xiaomo and Li Xiaomo smiled bitterly. Feng Jing was really thoughtful. Although he seemed to be thinking about a few people, he had already separated them from his own camp. At the same time, it also blocked the three people's ability to distinguish and plead for mercy.
room.
In the slightly chilly northwest wind, Feng Jing and his soldiers embarked on the official road from Dingzhou to Yanzhou in an orderly manner. However, Henghui and Lan Gaoping did not go north together. They led the Falcon Legion seven
Wan soldiers didn't know what they were doing in the Qingyun ruins, but Fengjing led his own soldiers to accompany Li Xiaomo and others northward.
Dingzhou is the inherent defense area of the Red Snake Legion, but the Red Snake Legion is being rebuilt, so the Falcon Legion is temporarily responsible for the security of Dingzhou. In fact, Hetao also understands that there is no need to put a main army here. After all, whether the Song family or Li
Now, no one has the guts to come and challenge the majesty of the Hetao. Moreover, the Falcon Legion is also recruiting new recruits. According to Haotian's wishes, the full strength of several main legions is 100,000, and the Falcon Legion will recruit 30,000 more recruits.
However, placing the Falcon Legion here can indeed play a role in stabilizing people's hearts.
Li Xiaomo and others were not in the mood to talk, and Feng Jing was also in a depressed mood, so he was speechless all the way. When they were about to arrive near the gate of Yanzhou City, Li Xiaomo suddenly found a group of people with high foreheads and nose jobs at the city gate, dressed very differently from the Chinese people.
Strange man.
"This is the dress of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region. These people should be from the Western Region." Sheng Lanxin said softly: "But these people all have steady steps and sharp eyes. They are considered good players even in the world.
I think he is the bodyguard of some respected people in the countries in the Western Regions."
Sheng Lanxin is different from Li Xiaomo and Li Xiaomo. One of her biggest hobbies is traveling around the world. She once traveled to the Western Regions and beyond the Great Wall alone, so she has a little understanding of this place.
"The Western Regions? It seems that he should be the envoy of the Six Kingdoms of Loulan." Li Xiaomo nodded slightly. He also knew the situation in the Western Regions relatively well. Sashan and the Western Regions Allied Forces of the Twelve Nations, together with the Rouran cavalry, launched a large-scale attack on Jiayuguan. Chunjian
The Golden Eagle Legion that was rewarded was in danger. However, due to the desperate help of the Six Kingdoms of Loulan, they survived tenaciously. Could it be that the Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions are here specifically to claim credit?
Chu Lianfeng and Li Xiaomo had different ideas. Although Mingjian Villa was a firm follower of Emperor Zhongxing, Chu Lianfeng did not agree with his father's decision. Regarding Emperor Zhongxing's actions, especially the killing of Liu Nanshang and others
He was even more upset about the incident. In addition, Chu Xiangcheng was his uncle, so his stance was relatively neutral.
"I don't think I'm here to receive merit, but it's more like I'm here to collect debts." Chu Lianfeng slowed down his horse a little and said in a low voice: "When the Sashan Rouran coalition attacked Jiayuguan in a large scale, the six countries in the Western Regions resolutely raised their troops.
With Loulan City as the center, the three kingdoms of Loulan, Rouzhi and Hotan tried their best to contain the Sashan coalition, while the three kingdoms of Yarkand, Lujia and Kengche crossed the Nianqing Mountains and fought side by side with the Golden Eagle Army at Jiayuguan Pass. Later, the coalition forces
They retreated and attacked the Loulan capital with all their strength. However, the Chunjian Shang of Jiayuguan did not send reinforcements to contain the coalition forces. It was not until the arrival of Wuxiaolangjun's Longxiang Corps that they launched a counterattack. However, against the coalition forces that hurriedly retreated, Wuxiaolangjun did not act like
We will pursue it with all our strength as before. Therefore, the Three Kingdoms of Loulan will definitely be dissatisfied."
Sheng Lanxin also knew a thing or two about this matter, and immediately said: "This time the coalition forces conquered the Hetao, because of the surprise, the Hetao was caught off guard. However, even under such circumstances, the Hetao army performed quite well.
Not to mention the Canglang Legion guarding Yumen Pass and the Panshi Legion in Yanzhou City, the three legions of Red Snake, Qilin and Fengwu also showed their majesty in the Hetao. However, the Golden Eagle Legion in Jiayuguan performed very well.
But it’s a little bit bad.”
Although Li Xiaomo was in a depressed mood, he still grinned when he heard what Sheng Lan Xin said: "Lan Xin, you don't know something. If the Golden Eagle Legion is judged by its results, it is indeed not brilliant. Not to mention the Blue Wolf Legion, it is the Qilin."
, the Red Snake and other legions are incomparable. However, the strategic intention of the Spring Sword Reward is definitely a reflection of the intentions of the top military officials in Hetao."
"Is Hetao really going to be on full defense, so we don't want to have too much conflict with Sashan and other countries?" Sheng Lanxin asked doubtfully: "Or is Hetao preparing to go south?"
"We can wait and see whether preparations are made. However, Hetao will definitely not be afraid of conflict with Sashan Rouran. In fact, for Hetao, the Six Kingdoms of Loulan are not that important. Jiayuguan is the most powerful pass in the world and has strong defensive power.
, even above the Holy Capital of Tiandu. The Golden Eagle Legion has been stationed here for a long time, and in case of emergency, the Spring Sword Reward can summon Minzhuang from Anxi Road to join the army. Therefore, even without the help of the Six Kingdoms of Loulan, Jiayuguan is still
I won’t worry about the strength of the troops." Li Xiaomo said solemnly: "Those who are good at fighting have no reputation. Chunjian Shang is not directly from Hetao, but he can become the commander of the army in Hetao in just two years. It is obvious that he has
It’s extraordinary.”
After a pause, Li Xiaomo couldn't help but think of the current situation in Qinchuan. The Li family in Qinchuan can be regarded as producing numerous famous generals. Among the previous generation of generals, Li Tiezhan was famous even in the Qingfeng Empire. Let's not talk about the younger generation.
Two of his brothers, naval commander Li Fengcheng, Li Tiezhan's son Li Kehua, Li Tiehe's son Li Bicheng, and Li Fangcheng, Li Xuancheng and others are all outstanding among the new generation of generals in the empire. However, Li Tiehe and Li Kehua died in Hezhou one after another, and Li Fangcheng died heroically.
Li Fengcheng committed suicide with his sword. Coupled with the two heavy losses, Qinchuan now cannot be compared with its heyday five years ago. However, in Hetao, there are advisers like rain and generals like clouds.
"The Hetao always prefers to bend rather than bend when doing things. Although the Six Kingdoms of Loulan are willing to surrender, the Hetao is still grudges about the betrayal of the Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions. Moreover, what the Hetao hates most are traitors and traitors. Therefore, they have no intention of betraying the Six Kingdoms of Loulan.
He is not very enthusiastic about joining us. Even though the Six Kingdoms of Loulan showed great sincerity at the critical moment, they are still very uneasy."
If Chu Lianfeng realized something: "You are saying that Hetao is not very confident about the six countries in the Western Regions, so it hopes to take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the six countries in the Western Regions. In this way, it not only gives out a bad breath, but also makes the six countries in the Western Regions have to rely on
It exists in the Hetao. When the troops in the Hetao move south, at least the pressure at Jiayuguan will be reduced a lot?"
"Not only that, Hetao has such a arrogant attitude, but also to explain something to the world. Hetao no longer needs any allies in terms of interests. They can sweep the world just by relying on their own strength." Li Xiaomo said solemnly.
Said: "Whether it is the owner of the Hetao, Jingbei Wang Haotian, or the five great generals and the three great counselors, these people do not like to owe others favors. As for the behavior of Chunjian Shang, it is actually easy to understand. His mission is to guard Jiayuguan, and he will not hesitate to do so.
No matter the cost or any means. Chunjian Shang is very clear about the priority of Hetao's strategic plan. Although Hetao has long wanted to establish the Anxi Protectorate, but before they can unify Shenzhou and wipe out the outside of the Great Wall, their main attack direction must be
Not the Western Region. He has limited troops and is farthest from the core of Hetao. Therefore, there is no need to venture out. As long as Jiayuguan is firmly defended, it will be a great achievement."
Although Sheng Lanxin is not proficient in military affairs, her thinking is quite sharp. She took over the conversation and said: "There are difficulties in choosing such a strategy for the Spring Sword Reward. However, I am afraid that Hetao's indifference to the Loulan Six Kingdoms is not the same.
It’s profound. Think about it, Loop doesn’t value a friend who stands up and blocks the knife with him at a critical moment. So how will they treat those former friends who add insult to injury? Xiao Mo, Lian Feng,
Our task this time is not easy."
After entering the capital city of Yanzhou, Li Xiaomo and the others were personally led by Feng Jing to the Jingbei Prince's Mansion. Looking at the four-character plaque "Jingbei Prince's Mansion" hanging above the gate, Li Xiaomo and others became even more worried.
It's serious. It seems that the depth of feelings that Hetao has for Qin Tianyi is higher than they expected.
"We have guests! General Li Xiaomo of Qinchuan, Young Master of Mingjian Villa Chu Lianfeng, and Fairy of Saint Orchid Heart of Yaochi Jade Palace are here to pay their respects!" As soon as the three of them stepped through the door, they heard a man with a few words.
A hoarse but somewhat familiar voice sounded from inside the door. The three of them stepped forward to take a look, only to discover that the man who temporarily acted as the undertaker actually had the signature of one of the five generals of Hetao.
"It turns out Commander Xin is here, and Li and others were rude." Although Li Xiaomo was still cold about his title of "General Li," he was not rude to Xin Ke. He knew very well what God meant in Xin Ke's heart.
In addition, Xin Ke's wife Zhu Ping and his wife Han Mei were both killed in the Battle of Dingzhou. Seeing him coming, Xin Ke did not pick up his double-edged battle ax, which was a great honor to himself.
Chu Lianfeng and Sheng Lanxin also followed suit and saluted. Upon seeing this, the five young masters behind Xin Ke quickly knelt down to the three of them. Naturally, Li Xiaomo and others did not dare to neglect. After the five of them kowtowed, they knelt down one by one.
He helped him up.
It is a rule that when God's will passes away, a filial son will mourn. However, the Haojin brothers were young, so Tang Jian and others took over the responsibility. The five of them were all ordinary filial piety cloths wrapped in black gauze and wrapped around their arms. Except for Dou Guangye, including Tang Jian in
Inside, his eyes were red and swollen. Looking at Dou Guangye's eyes, Sheng Lan felt a chill all over his body. Among the five people, Dou Guangye was the shortest, even inferior to Chu Yueying, but he exuded
His murderous aura and strong smell of blood exceeded everyone's imagination. Especially his eyes, which did not have a trace of bloodshot eyes, but were red like a sea of blood. Even a master like Sheng Lanxin,
I didn't dare to look at him for too long.
"This is an extremely terrifying figure. When it comes to killing, I'm afraid it is not as strong as the blood-killing Dugu in the legend of Hetao!" Sheng Lanxin thought to herself.
"Xin Shuai, it has been more than a year since we left Yinfeng Castle that day. But time has passed, things have changed and people have changed..." Li Xiaomo said with a face full of pain. He was really hurt, and he was in trouble.
Hetao is such a difficult and terrifying opponent, even a normal person would be hurt.
Xin Ke laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that after a year of seeing each other, the general is still as handsome and handsome as ever. Haha, how are the young master and the holy fairy?"
Chu Lianfeng was about to answer when he heard a long laugh from the inner hall. He looked up and saw Haotian holding a son in his arms, striding over surrounded by Xin Jiao, Luo Xiang and others. No one was there yet.
When he arrived, Haotian had already said loudly: "Haha, I have told God before that General Li and the Holy Fairy are inseparable from the scale. Wherever General Li appears, there will be the footprints of the Holy Fairy. Jiao Jiao
, do you think this king is right?"
"I only talk nonsense all day long. If General Li and Fairy Sheng are weighing weights, then what is Master Chu? A weighing beam?" Xin Jiao said unceremoniously, holding Hao'an in his arms.
"The Iron Triangle of China's martial arts world is indeed well-deserved. However, I am also a little confused as to whom the Holy Fairy is attracted to? After all, both of them are equally charming, suave and outstanding." Luo Xiang actually pinched his beard and said with a smile.
"Who can guess the little girl's thoughts? But it is certain that no matter who the Holy Fairy marries, the other one will definitely be heartbroken." Xue Sha said with a smile. Next to him was a hungry skinny tiger,
Li Xiaomo carefully identified it, and then realized that this was Zhenshan, the mount that dominated the world during the bloody killings. However, how did this tiger become so thin?
What Li Xiaomo didn't know was that Zhenshan had regarded Tianyi as his master ever since he met Tianyi on the outskirts of Dingzhou. Tianyi was very fond of this affectionate tiger. Over the years, between the two,
They had formed a deep relationship. Now that Tianyi died, Zhenshan was naturally devastated. Since returning to Hetao, Zhenshan has stopped eating and has been on a hunger strike. After Haotian and others knew about this, they all
He was so moved that he couldn't help himself. Luo Xiang and Xue Sha finally used various means to finally get Zhenshan back to a normal diet. However, the tiger had been in low spirits these days, so it looked quite weak.
"Oh, it's a pity that Holy Fairy doesn't know the magic of clones, otherwise there would be no need to go to such trouble." Without looking at the person, just by listening to the voice, he knew that this person was Dugu Yuming, a well-known rogue general in Hetao.
Looking at the smiling senior executives of Hetao in front of them, Li Xiaomo and others suddenly felt a creepy feeling. Is Hetao really as crazy as Feng Jing revealed?
