Luo Xiang didn't know when he appeared on the carriage. This skinny old man was like a ghost. You didn't know when he would appear, or where he would appear, let alone where he was coming from.
What to do. But what is certain is that he came here in person and must have some agenda. Luo Xiang never does anything meaningless.
"Lianchen, send him out first." Haotian also saw Luo Xiang and obviously wanted to discuss it, so he said to Xian Lianchen.
Li Tieyang had no choice but to follow Xian Lianchen and get out of the carriage.
"Sir, what do you think of this matter?" Haotian didn't dare to be as rude to Luo Xiang as Li Tieyang, and signaled Qiu Mu to bring Luo Xiang a stool to sit on. Xin Jiao quickly made Luo Xiang a pot of tea.
Then he asked in a deep voice.
Luo Xiang picked up the tea cup, praised "good tea", and said unhurriedly: "Li Xiaomo must have taught Li Tieyang these words. I and Li Tieyang were once officials in the same court, so we know how important he is.
The top ten heroes of China are indeed well-deserved. Many years ago, I originally thought that the top ten heroes of China were just promoted by good people, but now it seems that they are indeed worthy of their reputation."
Just after he finished speaking, Luo Xiang suddenly noticed that Qiu Mu and Xian Lianchen were glaring at him. He immediately remembered that they were also among the top ten heroes in China. Not only them, but also Lian Xue Qingcheng, Zhang Yuewan and Fu Ruoshui.
Luo Xiang smiled awkwardly and said quickly: "The two mistresses have misunderstood. What I mean is that most of the ten heroes are dragons and phoenixes. For example, all the mistresses are now real phoenixes. It's just that there are some scum among them.
, just like Song Junlin."
Xian Lianchen was a child after all, and immediately became happy when he heard this, while Qiu Mu glared at Luo Xiang fiercely, his eyes full of threats.
A few years ago, Qiu Mu would have shunned this old man who once ran rampant in the martial arts world and would have been cautious even if they met. But now, after getting familiar with Luo Xiang's personality, she found that Luo Xiang was not
He is as cold-blooded and ruthless as he imagined before. Especially when it comes to dealing with Haotian and Tianyi, he is completely a gentle elder. Even he and others can enjoy his warm care. Because of this,
Qiu Mu gradually put aside her initial wariness, and slowly regarded Luo Xiang as a real elder. As time passed, Qiu Mu also gradually revealed his true nature. However, whether it was Luo Xiang or Chu Xiangcheng,
, or the bloody murder of Dugu, they don't care about it, and they really enjoy this feeling. Because only in this way can they feel a little bit like home.
Luo Xiang secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, Fu Ruoshui and others were not here, otherwise he would have been attacked by several women. After another sip of tea, Luo Xiang brought the topic back: "My lord, I think the Li family's
The proposal is worth considering."
"First of all, our warriors are quite elite. Although we do not doubt that we can sweep the world, if the casualties of the warriors are too heavy, it will definitely affect our future strategy beyond the Great Wall. Lord, don't forget, all the six tribes outside the Great Wall are
Quite a strong opponent, plus the Sashan Dynasty in the Central Continent, even the Haixi Dynasty, which is currently the weakest among them, is on par with the Qinchuan Li family."
Haotian nodded slightly. China's biggest opponent since ancient times has always been from outside the Great Wall. If the many forces south of the river cannot be completely integrated together, they are no match for the Hetao. The only outcome is to be defeated by each one. However, killing
The enemy is 3,000, and the loss is 800. If the Hetao wants to eradicate them all, according to the current casualty ratio, it will cost at least 300,000 troops. This is something the Hetao does not want to see.
"Secondly, Li Xiaomo is a talent. The Qinchuan Li family is deeply rooted, and their tentacles have completely extended to every corner of Qinchuan Road. If Li Xiaomo decides to fight back desperately, even if we can pacify this place, we will definitely have to pay
The price is huge. Besides, with Li Xiaomo’s shrewdness, it will most likely turn into a protracted tug-of-war. But we don’t have that much time to talk nonsense with them.”
"Finally, our energy is limited, and our foundation south of the river is too shallow. We can conquer the world immediately, but we cannot rule the world immediately. If there are still some local forces that are secretly causing trouble with us, it will be difficult for us to implement effective governance south of the river.
Li Xiaomo is a smart man, if he can adapt to the situation, it will save us a lot of trouble."
Haotian was silent for a moment, and implemented effective local governance. The Hetao is not incapable of that ability. Now, any prefect of Hetao No. 3 Road can take charge of his own affairs. However, the south of the river is different from the Hetao area. In the Hetao, which has lasted for several years,
After the governance, it has basically been possible to open doors at night and not pick up lost items. Even in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, because the people here basically migrated from the Hetao Third Road, the style of the Hetao has continued.
However, it is different south of the river. The foundation of the Hetao is too shallow. If a large number of troops are stationed to stabilize the position, and then supplemented by five to ten years of governance, it may not be the same as the Hetao and other places. However, the Hetao simply does not have that much time and
After the army pacifies the south of the river, the Hetao will soon raise troops to march out of the fortress. By then, the control over the south of the river will inevitably be greatly reduced.
"Li Xiaomo stepped on our painful foot. He knew that we needed him." Luo Xiang said slowly.
Haotian smiled slightly and said with admiration: "Li Xiaomo is indeed a respectable opponent. At this time, he is still so calm."
Luo Xiang's eyes blinked and he suddenly said: "My lord, we in Hetao have learned from the past once. I am worried that if someone is forced to surrender to us now due to the situation and rebels again after our main force leaves the fortress, then how should we respond?
"
Haotian's originally warm expression suddenly overflowed with murderous intent, and his eyes were gleaming. Qiu Mu and others felt the strong murderous intent emanating from Haotian's body at the same time. They quickly raised their heads, only to find Haotian's face
It was already covered with frost: "If that's really the case, then the nine tribes must be killed!"
Luo Xiang added fuel to the fire: "But we still have to rely on them to govern the place."
Haotian was obviously so excited by this incident that he never thought about Luo Xiang's deep meaning. He just said coldly: "After wiping out the nine tribes, how many people will be left here? If anyone really thinks that we are in the Hetao
It’s easy to bully, then think about the situation in Youyun Sixteen Provinces!”
When Li Tieyang set foot on the Qingyun again, Haotian's face had returned to calm. Facing the uneasy Li Tieyang, a sneer appeared on the corner of Haotian's mouth: "Brother Xiao Mo's proposal, I thought about it, and it's not that it's not true.
There is room for discussion.”
Li Tieyang was overjoyed, and just as he was about to answer, Haotian spoke again: "However! Brother Xiao Mo's condition was not stated in detail, and the generals under my command also had different opinions on it, so we still need time to discuss it.
Well, you go back first, we will inform you when there is news."
Li Tieyang was dumbfounded: "But I wonder when will there be news from the prince?"
Luo Xiang smiled sinisterly on the side: "This is not urgent, but there should be news when we take Yizhou Road."
Li Tieyang felt a cold sweat in his vest. When he looked at Luo Xiang and Haotian, their expressions became even more ferocious.
The current strategic focus of Hetao is on the Song family in Yizhou. The death of 200,000 elite troops and the family leader Song Zhengfeng in the battle has been a huge blow to the Song family, especially the military, whose originally weak fighting will is rapidly collapsing.
.However, the Song family occupies geographical advantages after all. The natural dangers of Yizhou are well known to the world. Except for Baidi City in the southeast corner and Walun Pass in the east of Yangzhou, the rest of the strategic places are all controlled by the Song family. If Hetao is prepared to attack,
The difficulty is not small.
"No matter what is ahead, it cannot be a reason to stop us from moving forward." Facing the majestic mountains, Haotian said lightly.
Dugu laughed loudly and patted Haotian's shoulder without any thought of superiority or inferiority: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely win the Yizhou Road in one month at most."
Haotian didn't take it seriously either. If he had anything to do with Dugu, an old gangster, he would have been pissed off so many times. At that moment, he handed over his hands and said, "Then I would like to congratulate Du Shuai first."
Then he cupped his fists and saluted Xue Sha next to Dugu: "Commander Xue, thank you for your work."
After all, Xue Sha was calmer than Dugu, at least in appearance. He glanced at Haotian with concern and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, my lord, the Song family is at the end of its tether and cannot be our opponent at all. On the contrary, Hetao's
At the same time, their administrative officials must immediately follow up to take over local governance to avoid unnecessary chaos."
"Commander Blood, please rest assured. Mr. Chu has sent an urgent report a few days ago. He has organized a large number of administrative officials. They will be able to go south to the Yinfeng Mountains to take over local administration in three days at most."
"That's good, Lord, take care, let's go first!" Xue Sha nodded, while Dugu was very impatient. He grabbed Xue Sha's sleeve with one hand and put his other hand on his Yanling knife, saying: "Xue Sha
When did the handsome guy become a mother-in-law? My lord, I have a few mistresses to serve me, so I am fine. But my lord, you have to take it easy, after all, that thing is not made of iron."
Although Haotian was used to Dugu being a scumbag, he was still quite angry when he was mentioned in such an occasion, while the three Xin Jiao girls stared at Dugu with murderous eyes. But Dugu was probably even more shameless than Tian.
The city wall of Du Shengjing didn't care about this at all, and continued to say cheerfully: "Besides, even if that thing is really made of iron, my lord, you should have heard that an iron rod can be ground into an embroidery needle..."
"Let's go, you old gangster!" Now he couldn't even bear to listen to Xin Ji, so he strangled Dugu's neck and pulled him away.
Haotian looked at the people's figures gradually disappearing, and suddenly let out a long sigh, his melancholy was self-evident.
Xin Jiao seemed to feel something and gently squeezed Haotian's palm, while Xian Lianchen leaned directly on Haotian's shoulder. Only Qiu Mu stood silently behind Haotian, looking at this
The man with white hair is in a daze.
This is her man. He is already the most powerful overlord in the world. However, his back is so lonely. It is not the loneliness of an invincible hero in the world, but the loneliness of no one to accompany him and no one to know him.
of loneliness.
Qin Tianyi left, taking away the whole Hetao's sanity, and also took away Haotian's entire heart. Even Xin Jiao, who was most favored by him, could not be compared with Tianyi in his heart. And the number of his sisters
People can't even compare to him. However, fortunately, although this man's status is becoming more and more prominent, he has not diluted his love for himself and others. No matter when, he will always occupy such a corner in his heart.
, but, there is only such a corner.
"Man, why don't you take Wu Gou and collect the sixteen states of Youyun? Why should you be afraid of corpses wrapped in horse leather, but you can kill the enemy chiefs for China!" Haotian murmured. This was the legacy left by Lin Taiyue when he died in Dingzhou. Later,
It is widely circulated among the Hetao army.
"Does it mean that after retaking the Sixteenth Province of Youyun, I can no longer go to the battlefield?" Haotian sighed.
Xian Lianchen said dissatisfied: "What's there to be sad about? It's a good thing that you don't go to the battlefield. At least it proves that Du Shuai and the others are capable of winning the war, and you don't need to worry about it. Besides, every time you go to the battlefield, you start to go crazy.
, which makes our sisters always on tenterhooks."
After all, Haotian is the lord of Hetao, and now he is the Supreme Emperor. In addition, he has been in poor health recently, so all the generals in Hetao are firmly opposed to him going into battle in person. In the eyes of Xue Sha and others, there is no need for him on the battlefield without him.
It will affect the progress of the war, and it will also make people worry. Besides, the emperor of an empire personally goes into battle, so what do the generals below think?
Therefore, under the firm opposition of everyone, Haotian was completely deprived of the right to go to the battlefield in person. In order to eliminate the possibility of Haotian sneaking onto the battlefield, Luo Xiang and others also bribed the three women of Xin Jiao. The three of them are equivalent to Haotian.
Tian's personal bodyguards, without their help, Haotian would be completely helpless. At the beginning, Haotian shamelessly pestered Xin Jiao and others, hoping that the three women would be able to show mercy.
As a result, that night, because he missed God's will too much, Haotian suddenly vomited blood in the middle of the night. Xin Jiao and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale, so from then on, no matter what Haotian said, Xin Jiao ignored them.
Xian Lianchen's words obviously resonated with everyone. The three women, Fu Ruoshui and even Chen Han and Meng Xiaoting all attacked Haotian. No one could bear such fierce firepower. In the end,
Haotian still used the excuse to discuss military deployment with Luo Xiangxuanji, and then escaped from the encirclement.
"The Song family is just struggling to death!" Luo Xiang said with a cold snort in the reception room of the Qingyun.
Xuanji also echoed: "Sir, what you said is right. The Song family's troops are outnumbered and their morale is shaken. Even if they fight head-on, they are no match for us. Moreover, we are attacking in three directions. They are already stretched thin with 100,000 troops in southern Yunnan."
After the soldiers were defeated, the situation became even worse. My subordinates also believed that we would be able to pacify Yizhou in one month at most."
Haotian nodded. Recently, the Song family has really had a bad time. There were still 100,000 soldiers of the Song family in Yingyi Prefecture on South Dian Road. Although these 100,000 soldiers formed an army in less than half a year, after all, they had gone through basic
The military-trained troops had some combat effectiveness. After Song Junlin fled back to Yizhou, the first order he issued was to transfer these 100,000 soldiers back.
The commander-in-chief of this 100,000-strong army is named Song Zhengying, who is Song Zhengfeng's cousin. However, he is not from the military, but was temporarily promoted from the Yangzhou Prefecture by Song Zhengfeng. Otherwise, he would not have been able to sit on the throne.
In this position, Song Zhengfeng was very aware of the cruelty of the struggle in the aristocratic family, so he was always very wary of his uncles and brothers.
Although Song Zhengying was not good at military affairs, he was not a fool either. The 100,000-strong army was mainly stationed at Yizhou on the South Yunnan Road. To cross the river and go north, the Sindi Pier in Yiju was the best place. However, opposite the Sindi Pier was Baidu.
Imperial City, and Baidi City has fallen into Fengjing's hands. Although Yizhou's fifteen thousand naval forces were unscathed, Song Zhengying finally chose to cross the river from Yingzhou due to fear of Fengjing's reputation.
.
As for another reason, Song Zhengying always had a fear of the dock.
The Sinful Land was not originally called Sinful Land. On that day, the Qingfeng Allied Forces fought here against the Holy Sect of Ultimate Bliss. Jiang Meng and others who had been killed by the Holy Sect of Ultimate Bliss were all killed in the battle, leaving tens of thousands of corpses. In order to vent his anger, Haotian simply killed these soldiers of the Holy Sect of Ultimate Bliss.
All the corpses were thrown to the riverside, surrounded by wooden piles and stones, and covered with dust. They built a unique and huge dock here, and wrote the word "guilty place" in their own handwriting.
Every time he walked here, Song Zhengying had a feeling, as if tens of thousands of undead were roaring and shouting in his ears. Even at noon, there was a gloomy wind. Military strategists always pay attention to the right time and place when sending troops.
Here, there are thousands of corpses, which is obviously not a good sign. Therefore, Song Zhengying finally chose Mopandu in Yingzhou.
However, what Song Zhengying didn't expect was that Feng Jing had already been eyeing his piece of fat. After the Battle of Caiziba, Feng Jing was also very aware of the current situation of the Song family. If these 100,000 troops were allowed to go north to Yizhou, then
The available troops in Song Junlin's hands will be greatly strengthened. Although they cannot stop the footsteps of Hetao, they can at least cause great losses to Hetao.
Therefore, Feng Jing resolutely decided that these 100,000 soldiers must not be allowed to cross the river and go north.
"The Solitary Commander, and the Blood Commander, I am fighting this battle for you this time." Feng Jing murmured to himself.
Lan Gaoping leaned over his furry head and said with a playful smile: "Commander, when you see them in the future, shouldn't you let them thank you properly?"
"This is necessary." Feng Jing nodded.
Lan Gaoping smiled slyly: "In that case, Commander, our brothers came to fight for you. What good will we do then?"
