Shen Xiangdong's eyes lit up and he said: "It's General Di.??? Bi? Qu Ge? "
"Yes, apart from the Qiang Xing tribe, the only ones most likely to appear here at this time besides us are General Di's army marching west."
Hucha Dongchan also understood and continued: "General, Mr. Shen, if I were Qiang Xingzhi, and my troops could be divided into two groups to intercept our army, then the army in front would definitely be ambushed until our army passes by. At that time, they came out again, flanking us from both sides, and ambushed our Mu Tianlang. But looking at it now, the cavalry on the front left didn’t know who the other people were. They were afraid of being attacked, so they stood still. So the people coming in front must be Youfei. We are enemies, is that right?"
Shen Xiangdong smiled and said, "The princess is really smart."
Hucha Dongchan was having a good time. Sure enough, a moment later, the forward scouted the horse and reported again. It was the cavalry led by Di Jie, the envoy to the west.
All the generals felt relieved and let go of the heavy stones in their hearts.
Li Luo sighed slightly in his heart. If this happened, Xirong would definitely withdraw its troops. However, seeing the relieved expressions of the generals, Li Luo smiled hoarsely, but he was really a little greedy.
In an instant, the three armies were within ten miles of each other, and the Xirong army on the left front already wanted to retreat.
Everyone watched from a distance as the torches swayed and the military formations changed. Xirong had already set up a military formation and was about to retreat to the north of the dew.
Li Luo's thoughts turned quickly, he reached for the torch in the hands of the soldiers next to him, picked up the horse's reins, and was about to go out into battle. Suddenly Chu Ying'er flashed out from the side, stopped Li Luo, and asked coldly: "General, what do you want?" Where to go?”
Since Chu Ying'er was ordered by Li Luo to follow Shen Xiangdong to break through the Dew Camp, she didn't say a word along the way and just followed Li Luo. When she stopped Li Luo, she was still as cold as ever.
Li Luo was not angry and smiled slightly and said: "I'll invite the Qiang troops to have a chat in front of the formation."
"I'll go with you." Chu Yinger responded coldly without asking Li Luo.
Everyone was startled and shouted in unison: "General, no."
Li Luo waved his hand and said with a smile: "I've made up my mind, don't worry, it's okay. I want to see if this Qiang Xingzhi has the courage."
Seeing that Li Luo had made up his mind, Shen Xiangdong said no more. If Xirong made any changes, he could protect the commander in time.
He then replied: "General, let Miss Chu go with you."
Huchajing and Ding Zhan both nodded and responded in unison.
Hucha Dongchan was startled. He looked at Huchajing and then at Chu Ying'er. He didn't know why his brother, who had high eyesight, was so relieved about this mysterious one of the nine guards in the palace.
Li Luo laughed, glanced at Chu Ying'er, and said, "I'm going alone, no need to follow." After saying that, he rode out and rode out.
Huchajing and Ding Zhan said anxiously: "Miss Chu, hurry up and follow us."
Chu Ying'er turned her head to look at Li Luo's back and stayed where she was.
Seeing the anxious faces of Hucha Jing and Ding Zhan, Hucha Dongchan clicked his tongue and said: "Brother, uncle, don't worry, I'm afraid no one in Xirong can leave a general."
Huchajing and Ding Zhan were startled. They looked at Huchadongchan, then turned to look at Shen Xiangdong and Chu Ying'er. They saw that the two of them looked calm, and Shen Xiangdong's face showed no trace of panic. Calm your mind.
Huchajing passed down the order. If there is any movement from the Xirong army, the army can dispatch troops.
Li Luo passed over the crowd, rode alone for several miles, and stood in the middle where the three armies met. He raised his breath and said slowly: "Dagan Li Xuan Tower, please tell Commander Zuo in front of the formation."
The sound penetrated the night and echoed in the mountains and valleys. There was a commotion in the Xirong army in the distance, and the torches of the front army shook rapidly. After a few moments, it returned to calm, and then the army slowly retreated to the north of Dew.
Mu Tianlang and Di Jie's army marching west burst into laughter, mixed with sarcastic shouts.
Li Luo stood quietly, watching the Xirong army disappear into the boundless darkness. The breeze blew gently, and the clouds above seemed to disperse a little.
While in trance, suddenly the sound of horse hooves came from behind.
Li Luo looked back and saw a rider coming from behind. He was about fifty years old. He had three beards on his face, sword-shaped eyebrows at his temples, a high nose and wide eyes. He had a majestic look when he opened and closed his eyes. He held a big sword in his hand.
Wearing dark red armor, there seemed to be blood flowing out under the flickering firelight.
Judging from the similarity in face to Di Chengning, Li Luo knew that the person coming was none other than Di Jie, the envoy of Da Gan's expedition to the west.
Li Luoti turned his horse around, dismounted, and said with a deep salute: "Uncle Shi, Xuanlou is apologizing. I'd trouble Uncle Shi to march thousands of miles to help Xuanlou."
Di Jie paused on his horse, then jumped off, held his hands in vain, and said: "Xuanlou doesn't need to be polite. You and I are both in the army. From now on, it's just a matter of commensurate military positions. You don't need to pay attention to these common etiquette. Don't accept it."
It’s the burden of aristocratic families.”
"Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your advice." Li Luo replied respectfully.
Di Jie looked at Li Luo for a long time, exhaled a breath, laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, okay. Chengye has a son like this, he should be handsome enough to make jokes."
Li Luo smiled slightly but did not respond.
Di Jie continued: "In the battle of Xingfeng Valley, Xuanlou and your Mu Tianlang will definitely become famous all over the world. However, in this victory, strategy accounted for 50%, and Xirong underestimated the enemy and accounted for 50%. If we fight again in the future, they
I will never be as careless as Ning'er Peak again. Xuanlou must remember not to be arrogant because of victory, so that Qiang Xing can take advantage of it."
Li Luo saluted again and said: "Commander Di, Xuanlou must act carefully. Although I dare not say that I can win, I must at least defend the front line of Shahu."
Di Jie nodded, gained strength, inserted the long knife in his hand into the ground under his feet, flexed his muscles and said: "I am really old. I see you and Chengning growing taller year by year. From now on, they will both be taller and taller."
The world belongs to you young people."
Li Luo smiled and said: "Di Shuai is one of the only two remaining generals in Da Gan, how can we say that he is old? If the Xifu had not been guarded by Di Shuai these years, I am afraid it would have been crumbling."
Di Jie laughed and said: "For Xifu to be in the current situation, I have to thank your father. If it weren't for the Dingbei Army, Qiang Xingzhi would not have been dormant for so long, but now he has come out of Xuanlou again, haha
, God bless me so much." After saying that, he laughed loudly.
Li Luo stood aside quietly. In recent years, Di Jie was supported by his ancestors' reputation and worked as a coolie in the Xifu. He also had a disagreement with Prince Chun in the court and was quite marginalized. If Da Gan had no available generals, this Di Jie might have been killed long ago.
Be idle.
Now in the Western Mansion, Emperor Wanlong granted Li Luo greater authority, but Di Jie took a rare breather. There were not so many people staring at him, and he could finally move his bound hands and feet a little.
