After organizing his words, Luo Xiang said without changing his expression: "My lord, although Commander Xin is a little reckless, but with Commander Feng watching from the side, there must be no problem. Of course, necessary accidental injuries are inevitable."
Haotian thought about it for a while and felt that it was the case. Xinke was not a brainless person, and apart from himself and Tianyi, Fengjing was the only one who could command him. With Fengjing presiding over the overall situation here, even if it means killing Dugu,
, we must give him some face. But he is still a little worried.
"So, since Commander Blood and Commander Xin have no such plan, why are three hundred thousand troops gathering here?"
Luo Xiang hesitated for a moment, glanced at Li Hao and others beside him, and said: "The Bloody Commander and the others made this move probably to identify those who deserve to be killed. There must be no other intention."
Haotian obviously cherished the time spent playing with Xin Jiao and others. Seeing Luo Xiang's expression, he understood what Luo Xiang meant, so he waved his hand and said to Li Hao: "Li Wei, I am Haotian."
Once a promise is made, it is hard to follow up. Since you agreed to General Li Xiaoran, you will never go back on it. Go back and tell General Li Xiaomo that although we in Hetao and Qinchuan are at war with each other, I, Haotian, still respect the noble integrity of General Li's brothers.
I sincerely admire you. You can rest assured that I, Haotian, will never do anything that would make my friends look down upon."
Hearing this, Li Hao couldn't help but secretly wipe the sweat from his forehead. Just now, he clearly felt the hostility coming from Luo Xiang. He had no doubt that if it weren't for the fact that he was kneeling in front of Haotian, then Luo Xiang would have directly
Kill yourself.
After the words came out, there was no response for a long time. Haotian frowned. Looking at Li Hao whose forehead was almost touching the ground, a hint of disdain suddenly appeared on Haotian's face: "Li Guardsman, this road is in chaos, you guys
With such a small force, I'm afraid something might happen when we return. Lianchen, selected 500 soldiers from among the soldiers to escort Li Weiwei and others south. Remember, they must be handed over to General Li Xiaomo intact.
Don’t let outsiders see our Loop joke.”
Xian Lianchen bowed to accept the order and gestured to a brigade prince who was only sixteen or seventeen years old. The brigade prince quickly ordered all the five hundred soldiers under his command, and then made a gesture of invitation to Li Hao.
Luo Xiang's eyebrows furrowed, but in the end he said nothing and could only watch the brigade protect Li Hao and others as they left.
Li Hao was obviously anxious to go back and recover his life, so he hurriedly saluted Haotian and turned around to leave. When a few people walked away, a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of Luo Xiang's mouth, and the mystery came from nowhere.
When Haotian came out, he still kept shaking the feather fan in his hand, but there was a touch of ridicule in his expression. However, when Haotian looked at him and Luo Xiang, their faces became extremely solemn, and they looked worried.
What war looks like.
Haotian's mind was not on this matter. He believed that with his orders, even Dugu and others would not dare to openly defy them. After Tianyi left, he cherished the time spent with Xin Jiao and others even more.
On that day, I gave a few casual instructions to Luo Xiang and Xuanji, and then took Xin Jiao and the three girls to wander around. After a while, I forgot about this matter.
Qiu Mu's eyes narrowed slightly. Although Hetao has been expanding its army on a large scale in the past few months, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy can be a brigade lord of Haotian's soldiers. It is obvious that he is not an ordinary person.
After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly felt that the figure of the young Brigade Marquis was somewhat familiar. Thanks to her amazing memory, after a long while, Qiu Mu suddenly remembered that this young Brigade Marquis was actually related to Ji Qing who had died on the battlefield.
They are similar. Moreover, such a young Luhou could only have graduated from Xuanyuan Military Academy.
If this is really the case, this young Marquis of Brigade should have a very close relationship with Luo Xiang. However, there was something wrong with Luo Xiang's behavior just now. Could there be some conspiracy behind this?
Jingxi Prince's Mansion in Ezhou.
After being comatose several times, the condition of Jingxi King Li Tieming finally stabilized. After a long period of examination by the doctor, Li Tieming was finally able to sit up. When Li Xiaomo received the news, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly came to express his condolences in person.
Before the sickbed, father and son looked at each other with only a few lines of tears.
In just a few days, Li Tieming had already lost a lot of weight. King Jingxi, who was originally a famous handsome man in the empire, actually looked haggard and looked like a sharp-mouthed monkey. The old man lying on the hospital bed, except for him
The pajamas he wore could still prove his respected status, but there was no trace of kingly aura in his body.
And Li Xiaomo was also a lot haggard. Yinfeng Castle fell, his brother Li Xiaoran died in the battle, three million people were surrounded, and hundreds of thousands of Hetao troops pressed into the border. Even if Li Xiaomo was the proud son of heaven, he would still be in trouble.
He felt tremendous pressure. If he was not careful, Qin Chuan would be completely destroyed. Because of this, Li Xiaomo even had a few white hairs sprouting from his head these days.
"Xiao Mo, how is our situation now?" Li Tieming was the overlord who had dominated Qinchuan for more than 20 years after all. After all, he still had some overlord spirit, so he took the initiative to ask. Of course, even if he didn't ask, Li Xiaomo would also
Will take the initiative to mention it. After all, Li Xiaomo is only the prince of Qinchuan now, and there are many things that still need Li Tieming's decision.
Li Xiaomo did not hide it: "The situation is very bad. Xiao Ran and 150,000 elite soldiers were killed in the battle, leaving a huge gap in our defense area. In order to preserve our strength, Hai'er has ordered all forces in Hankang and Kangzhou to withdraw south. Now
Nearly three million people in the two states were surrounded by the four generals of the Hetao Territory in the central and northern areas of the territory. Although Haotian once made a promise to Xiao Ran, I still dare not guarantee their safety."
Li Xiaomo also knows that these things are what his father is most concerned about now. If he is not explained clearly, then he will definitely not be able to sleep well. But if the situation is told too badly, who knows whether Li Tieming will be excited
His life was cut short. However, Li Tieming was also a cunning and cunning person. If he was not told the truth, he would definitely notice it.
"You did the right thing. Our defeat this time was too sudden, so we must gather all our forces to deal with the possible surprise attack in Hetao. However, can we hold the Ezhou and Xiangzhou defense lines now? The three hundred troops in Hankang Second Prefecture
What will happen to the thousands of people in the Loop?" Li Tieming asked after taking a breath.
The fall of Yinfeng Castle dealt an unprecedented blow to Li Tieming. Li Xiaoran and 150,000 elite soldiers died on the battlefield, and the north gate of Qinchuan was easily knocked open by the Hetao. The entire Qinchuan Road could not rely on the geographical location to resist the attack of the Hetao.
His strategic plan completely failed. For him, the fall of Yinfeng Castle was equivalent to ringing the death knell of Qinchuan's demise. The Hetao army then swept across the two states of Han and Kang, which also verified his view. After receiving the news
At that moment, Li Tieming even felt that his spirit seemed to have been destroyed.
Li Xiaomo recounted what Haotian asked Li Hao to tell him, and then said in a deep voice: "Some price must be paid, but at least the majority of the three million people in Hankang and Kangzhou can escape. As for the current defense line,
, Hetao has not yet launched an active attack, and the Song family and the Huaishui Zhang family have also realized the consequences of death and coldness, so they are determined to lead their troops to help. As long as we manage it properly, we are not without a chance."
"Xiao Mo, do you think we really have a chance?" Li Tieming muttered softly.
Looking at his father's thin face and dull eyes, Li Xiaomo couldn't help but feel sore in his nose, and almost shed tears. This was the king of Qinchuan for eight hundred miles, who once dominated the wind and the breeze.
He has been a tycoon for more than 20 years? But now it seems that he is just an ordinary old man, an old man whose spirit and will have been destroyed.
"Yes." Li Xiaomo said firmly: "Although we were defeated this time, the Hetao side also made a mistake. They did not immediately go south to eliminate the main force of our army, which gave us a chance to breathe. Father, please rest assured, as long as
The Song family's 200,000 troops from Yizhou have entered Xiangzhou, so relying on the entire Qingfeng Empire's rear area, we may not be without the ability to fight."
After a pause, Li Xiaomo clarified his thoughts and said: "Although Hetao has regained the Sixteenth Province of Youyun, it is not without worries. The kings of the six tribes outside the Great Wall are not ordinary people. They know very well that one unified the entire China.
How powerful and terrifying will the Loop be? Therefore, they will never watch us being wiped out by the Loop so easily. Therefore, Ha'er believes that as long as we can sustain it for half a year, the situation will inevitably be reversed."
From the bottom of his heart, Li Xiaomo didn't like to have any contact with the aliens outside the Great Wall. But now they can be regarded as friends on the same road with him, and they are all sworn enemies of the Loop. For the safety of the family, Li Xiaomo had to go against his will.
Make a choice. Of course, he will never take the initiative to contact the aliens outside the Great Wall, but he believes that these people will definitely cooperate with him.
Li Tieming's eyes gradually regained their sparkle. Perhaps it was the strong self-confidence exuding from Li Xiaomo that inspired the king's domineering spirit in his bones. Li Tieming actually forced himself to sit up, took Li Xiaomo's hand and said, "Xiao Mo
, Song Zhengfeng and his son are useless. These two people are cunning, but they have little talent, big eyes, and weak hands. Tell your second uncle that after the Song family's army enters Xiangzhou, he must be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, even if he has to pay a certain amount of money.
It doesn’t matter the price.”
Li Tieming and Song Zhengfeng had known each other for decades and had been officials in the same court for twenty years. They knew very well what kind of character their old neighbor was. At this time, although Li Tieming was a little old, he was not confused. At least, under Li Xiao
Under the stimulation of Mo Mo, he completely restored his demeanor as the King of Jingxi who once traveled across Qinchuan.
"The soldiers of the Song family in Yizhou are not weak in combat effectiveness. With the 100,000 soldiers in the hands of your second uncle, they can at least defend Xiangzhou. However, there are many talents in Hetao, and Dugu Yuming is a runaway from the Song family. For the Song family and his son,
He knows his character and ability quite well. If Song Zhengfeng is the commander, he will definitely fall into the trap of the Loop. Xiao Mo, what we have to do now is to be strict and guard against the Loop to prevent the Loop from having any chance."
After saying this, Li Tieming suddenly coughed violently. Seeing this, Li Xiaomo quickly helped Li Tieming lie down. After thinking about it, Li Xiaomo decided to pass on what Li Tieming said just now to Li Tiezhan in Xiangzhou.
The Song family's 200,000 troops came to help, and Song Zhengfeng was the prince of the empire, and his status was much more prominent than Li Tiezhan. For reasons and reasons, it was Song Zhengfeng who served as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. However, the entire Yizhou Song family, even Song Zhengyu, who had the most rich battlefield experience
, and dare not compare with Li Tiezhan in terms of military talent. If Song Zhengfeng is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, it will definitely give Hetao an opportunity to take advantage of.
"Li Hao, tell me everything about your conversation with King Jingbei at Yinfeng Castle." After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiaomo felt that he needed to determine the current situation.
Li Hao hurriedly stepped forward, narrated the story again honestly, and then said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates believe that there is a certain conflict between the senior generals of Hetao and King Jingbei."
Li Xiaomo shook his head: "There will be no conflicts, at most there are some differences in opinions. There is no need to question the loyalty of the Hetao generals to King Jingbei. They may make some small moves in private and hide it from Jingbei.
The king did some shameful things. However, they are absolutely loyal to King Jingbei."
Li Xiaomo sighed in his heart. Although Li Hao was meticulous, he still couldn't consider the overall situation when considering things. If he went there in person, he would definitely be able to deduce more information, but it was impossible for him to leave Ezhou.
After waving Li Hao and others to leave, Li Xiaomo hesitated for a moment and then came to the side hall. This was the residence of Li Tieyang, the former Minister of Punishment of the Empire. As the representative of the Qinchuan Li family in the Qingfeng court, Li Tieyang had lived in Tianjin for a long time.
Among the Jingxi Princes in Capital Capital, few returned to Qinchuan. However, with the complete decline of the Qingfeng Liu family, no one in the Li family felt that there was any hope for Capital Capital, so Li Tieming simply recalled his brothers
, to help him manage Qinchuan's internal affairs.
Li Tieyang was only in his forties, and he was the youngest among many brothers. When Li Xiaomo came, he was frowning and staring at the dozens of documents in front of him. Due to the fall of Hankang and Kangzhou,
Countless people were displaced, and the southern Qinchuan area was preparing for war, so official documents were exchanged quite frequently. However, among the brothers, Li Tiehe had already died in Hezhou, Li Tiezhan was stationed in Ezhou, Li Tieying was weak and sick, and Li Tieming himself was lying in bed. These things happened naturally.
fell on his shoulders.
"Fifth Uncle, Xiao Mo is disturbing you." Li Xiaomo stepped forward and saluted.
Seeing that it was Li Xiaomo arriving in person, Li Tieyang did not dare to neglect, and quickly put down the document in his hand and said: "It turns out to be Xiao Mo. Why is it so rare that you have time today to come and sit here with Uncle Wu?"
Li Xiaomo never hesitated in front of his family. He pulled up a stool and sat down and went straight to the topic: "Uncle Fifth, is there any news over there?"
Li Tieyang's face suddenly became solemn, he swept aside the documents on the table and said in a deep voice: "There is no news. After the Dingzhou Incident, Hetao has become a lot more cautious. Moreover, he is also afraid of his identity.
He was exposed, so he kept a low profile. Besides, the military plan in Hetao was mainly planned by Luo Xiang and Xuanji, and he had no way to get involved."
Li Xiaomo sighed. Although he had known this would be the outcome, he still felt a little disappointed. Qin Chuan's current situation was definitely not as stable as he said to Li Tieming. If he was not careful, Qin Chuan would be completely
The army was wiped out in ashes. Now, hundreds of thousands of troops in Hetao are pressed in the northern part of Qinchuan, and their movements are unknown. With Li Xiaomo's psychological quality, he still can't breathe.
As a general, Li Xiaomo knew very well that the enemy's strength was not scary. What was scary was that he was already on the battlefield but could not figure out the enemy's movements and did not know the opponent's strategic intentions.
Li Tieyang frowned and thought for a while, rummaged through the secret compartments of the desk for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Xiao Mo, this is what he sent back some time ago. Take a look, maybe it can be of some help."
Li Xiaomo took the document and read it for a while, then suddenly pulled up the map of China on the desk and traced the map with his finger: "Use powerful cavalry to suddenly tear open the connection between Xiangzhou and central Ezhou, directly insert into the Changzhou area, and then
Suddenly turned to the west and entered Yizhou from the Yuzhou area of Yizhou Road. At the same time, the main force of the Bloody Plateau advanced eastward and swept through the three states west of Yizhou Road. The main force of the Hetao Army attacked Bazhou with all its strength. A three-pronged attack will destroy Yizhou first?"
Li Tieyang said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Wu, I thought from the beginning that the first nail to be pulled out in Hetao was our Qinchuan Li family, and the military deployment of the Hetao army proved this problem, so I didn't take this news seriously.
thing."
Li Xiaomo's expression was solemn, and all the strange expressions on his face were gone. Li Tieyang's words were not unreasonable, but they were a little too ignorant. He finally got some information from the insider, but he put it aside easily. If it weren't for him
When asked, he didn't know when it would be released.
"When did this information come in?" Li Xiaomo asked in a deep voice.
"Two days ago!"
"Two days!" Li Xiaomo sat down slowly, but his mind was racing. Two days ago, Li Hao had just arrived at Yinfeng Castle, and the four main legions, including the Hetao White Tiger Blood Killer, were acting strangely in the central and northern parts of Qinchuan.
, but the army from the Hetao headquarters unexpectedly stayed in Yinfeng Castle for so long. If the situation is really as stated in the secret letter, then the Hetao side has a premeditated plan.
"Come here!" Li Xiaomo shouted, which startled Li Tieyang.
Li Hao hurriedly walked in. When he saw Li Xiaomo's unkind expression, he suddenly became uneasy: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Is the Snow Lion Corps in Hetao still on the Northwest Second Road?"
Li Hao said: "This subordinate is not clear about it. Your Majesty, please wait a moment, and I will ask immediately." When a cup of tea was not available, Li Hao hurriedly returned and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the elder spirit immortal of the Scarlet Clan has been ill these days.
Zhong, Xue Qingcheng has gone to the Bloody Plateau to visit. As for the Snow Lion Legion, our people saw them patrolling the north side of the Yinfeng Ancient Road three days ago."
