Chapter 223: The White-robed Army
Xiao Chuan didn't know that his senior brothers and sisters had made a big move in Linjing, and he got the Lingxiao Divine Pill, and he and Pei Xingyan rushed towards Yanling Pass non-stop.
In his heart, the most important thing at the moment is, of course, to rescue Li Qianmo!
Xiaochuan descended from Dengyun Peak, from the direction of Chang'an City, all the way through various towns towards Yanling Pass. Since Xiaochuan and Pei Xingyan were not on Li Tang's official wanted list, both of them were swaggering and hurried, and they did not attract much attention.
Pei Xingyan didn't have many opportunities to go down the mountain, this time he followed Xiaochuan out like a wild dog, wandering around excitedly to make trouble, Xiaochuan was helpless, as long as there was no big incident, he had to let him toss.
It's just that along the way, Xiaochuan faintly felt that something was wrong.
The military power of the towns along the route seems to have weakened. Originally, it was some extremely important military towns and dangerous passes, but there were not too many soldiers and horses sitting in the town.
Especially the military masters who have cultivated deeply, they are no longer in the town.
Xiao Chuan gradually understood the situation at this time after being surprised at first, the previous time several major sects converged and the army was led by Wang Zhenfan to destroy Li Qianmo's army in one fell swoop at Yanling Pass, but it was defeated and lost under the hard work of Xiao Chuan, Yin Xiaoyi and Falcon Lie and others, and the army also suffered heavy losses, and even damaged its vitality.
However, Li Minghan must regard Li Qianmo as a thorn in the flesh and will be eliminated quickly, so at present, Xiaochuan can think of a seven, seven, eighty, eight or eight without further exploration, I am afraid that Li Minghan is going to make a desperate attempt to mobilize all the troops in the country to eliminate Li Qianmo.
He didn't even reserve even the most basic garrison troops, which shows how crazy he is in his heart.
But where is Lee Myung-han's army?
Is it already attacking Yanling Pass or is it waiting for an opportunity somewhere?
Ogawa quietly grabbed a few low-ranking officers who were still in the city, but he couldn't ask for any useful information at all.
He really wanted to carefully investigate the movements of Li Minghan's army so that he could also prepare himself, but thinking of Li Qianmo, who was still unconscious, Xiao Chuan understood what he should do most at the moment.
So he quickened his pace again, dragged up Pei Xingyan, who was grinding and chirping, and the two of them rushed towards Yanling Pass at the fastest speed.
In the big tent of the Chinese army in Yanling Pass and Li Qianmo, the atmosphere was a little depressing.
Qianmo was still unconscious, and everyone consciously elected Wednesday Jin, who had the most combat experience and strength, as the temporary commander of the army.
At this moment, on Wednesday, Kim Zheng convened a meeting of senior generals in the army.
Since the Amir Plateau and Xiaoxiang City in Baiyan Mountain and other places that he had captured before were all behind the army, it was also very difficult for Li Minghan to cross them and capture these places, so the generals in the Qianmo army were all gathered here, and the other passes only sent his lieutenant generals and a small number of sergeants to station.
So now, the Eastern Jin Dynasty Xingyao Army, Bai Yuebai is in the camp, and the Golden Xuanjia Army is ...... Most of the elite forces in the Light Ink Army are in this Yanling Pass.
But there was a long and inexplicable silence in the big tent.
"Old General Zhou", Bai Yuebai seemed to have something to do, and couldn't help but speak, "We have been fighting against Li Minghan's army for a long time, and although we have not tasted a major defeat, we have always been in a weak position compared to the thief who has the power of the whole country. Moreover",
In the words, Bai Yuebai seemed to hesitate, but in the end, she still couldn't hold back the words in her heart, "I heard that the spies reported that Li Minghan's army is now gathering somewhere, and the most unbelievable thing is that the white-robed army that has been wiped out in the sea of evil spirits has really returned to Chang'an?"
On Wednesday, Kim was silent for a moment, and a hint of worry appeared on his face full of vicissitudes.
"The return of the white-robed army to the camp is indeed true."
"They, haven't heard back in the past ten years, aren't they ...... a long time ago" Bai Yuebai asked a little nervously.
"More than ten years ago, the first emperor selected the most elite people in the entire army of the empire to form this white-robed army, which was directly under the command of His Majesty, and was sent to the Sea of Evil Spirits to find the treasure that can make His Majesty immortal. However, there has been no news in the past ten years, and the whole world thought that this elite army had suffered an accident, but they never expected that they would return at this time. ”
"Li Minghan killed his father and brother, the white-robed army will definitely not die for them!" Bai Yuebai thought of this and stomped his foot fiercely.
"The first emperor had already made arrangements, and the generals of the white-robed army only obeyed the orders of today's saints, and whoever the jade seal of the country was in his hands would be the master." There was unconcealed sorrow in King's words on Wednesday.
"At the same time, Li Minghan's army has long been assembled, but there is no trace of it so far, and our spies have also sent a lot, but there has been no result. ”
"Generals, what can you do?"
Inside the big tent, Wednesday Jin looked around and asked everyone.
In the first place under him, Leng Yaoqing, Bai Yuebai, Tao Xuancun, Ling Su, Zhu family brothers, Han Yuanjing and other generals, as well as the Falcon Wind Falcon Lie brothers who came from the wild abyss, were all seated, and Leng Yaoqin took on the responsibility of taking care of Li Qianmo and was not here.
"Now, no matter where Li Minghan's army is gathered, and no matter how elite this white-robed army is, a big battle may be inevitable. At this moment, the most important thing for us is to treat His Royal Highness well, otherwise even the officers and men in the army will have no fighting spirit, how can we fight against Li Minghan's army again?"
Bai Yuebai said to everyone in the account.
"Zuo Xiaochuan, is there any news?" Leng Yaoqing suddenly asked Bai Yuebai.
"There was no news. The spies we sent to the Aoki Sect to inquire about the news couldn't even enter the sect at all, and there was no trace of him along the way, so it seems that this kid should be quite cautious. ”
"A few days ago, when my eldest brother and I were cultivating in the wild abyss, I felt that my master's life signs were unstable and his life was in danger. But a few days later, it was restored again, and now nothing is unusual. ”
Hayabusa said to everyone. A few days ago, Xiaochuan's situation almost scared the two brothers out of trouble, and rushed out of the wild abyss all the way, but found that Xiaochuan's body recovered quickly on the way, so he was relieved, and after thinking about it, he finally did not rush to the Aoki Sect, but went to Yanling Pass to report the situation to you.
"Maybe he had some trouble in the Aoki Sect, but now it's been successfully resolved. Tao Xuancun analyzed.
"Your Highness's state has been a little unstable these days, and we can't wait as hard as before. I'll go find him. Leng Yaoqing stood up after saying that.
Everyone is so worried about Leng Yaoqing in their hearts, and he has led the Demon Division for many years, and he is especially good at stealth tracking, so it is appropriate for him to go.
Therefore, everyone in the account, including Wednesday Jin, nodded, Leng Yaoqing saluted, turned around and quickly walked out of the big tent.
"Although His Highness's condition is urgent, we also need to pay attention to the movement of Li Minghan's army. ”
Seeing that Leng Yaoqing had already set off, Tao Xuancun seemed to think for a while, and said, "Since several waves of spies have not gained anything, it is better for me to go and investigate."
"I have been a general in the army for many years, and I know the military layout and terrain in Li Tang well, so I should be more effective than spies. ”
"You are one of Li Minghan's key wanted personnel, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to go", although he knew that Tao Xuancun's words were reasonable, but Zhou Jin still had some concerns.
"It doesn't matter. I have been guarding the northern frontier for many years, and I know the habits of the ancient Huns, so I will make a detour from the Xinghai Grassland into the territory of Li Tang, pretending to be a merchant, and I will definitely not reveal my whereabouts. ”
Tao Xuancun's remarks are a method, and it seems that you can try it.
"I'm willing to go with General Tao!" a young voice came out, but it was Han Wonjing who had arrived from the Amer Plateau.
"I have written to and fro at home about returning to His Highness, but when the news of my return to His Highness came out, my Han family seems to have been hit by Li Minghan's thief, and I need to go and communicate with my father in person. ”
Han Yuanjing's family is a famous family of Li Tang and is one of the four major families. Han Wonjing also tried to convince the family when he returned to Shun, but he was unsuccessful. And I heard that because of his submission, the Han family suffered a huge blow.
It's just that Li Minghan was afraid of the huge power of the Han family, so he didn't uproot them. This time, Han Wonjing also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go home and investigate.
"In this case, I can make it easier for General Han to act as a brother, what does the general think?" Tao Xuancun agreed to Han Yuanjing's request, Han Yuanjing can be regarded as a rising star among the imperial generals, and there will definitely be something to gain when they go together.
Wednesday Jin thought about it for a long time, although he felt that this trip was still a little dangerous, but he knew that he could not sit still again, he finally nodded, "You two will lead a few people to go, everything is careful, if you can't do anything, you will come to Yanling Pass immediately to join the army." ”
Tao Xuancun and Han Yuanjing took the order and left, and everyone in the account fell silent again, and finally Bai Yuebai, who was still impatient, said, "The strength of the several major sects is not to be feared at present, but the current attitude of the major families is ambiguous, and Li Minghan mobilized the national army, coupled with the abruptly returned white-robed army, I am afraid that it will be more and more difficult for our side to win the battle."
Bai Yuebai has always been the most energetic person in the Qianmo Army, and she is definitely a typical example of doing it if she is not satisfied, but today she has always been sad.
The main reason for this is that the white-robed army in her mouth comes from.
Because she had participated in the selection of that army, she knew what kind of characters were in it.
Nothing else needs to be said, but the threshold of this army is enough to shock the world.
The selection criteria for the white-robed army is the Ascension Realm!
That is, if you want to be selected into the white-robed army, then cultivation to reach the ascension realm is the most basic hard requirement. Not to mention the follow-up investigation of combat skills and military theories, it is really difficult to become one of them, and there is no one in ten thousand.
Therefore, even if it was transferred to the entire territory of the Li Tang Empire, this white-robed army only had 5,000 people.
It is precisely because they have never returned to the Sea of Evil Spirits and have not heard from them that Li Tang's military strength has weakened rapidly for more than ten years, and he has been coveted by the surrounding countries, and he only relies on the Northern Army, the trapped camp and the generals of the town to support him.
However, at this time, they returned to Li Tang and obeyed Li Minghan's orders, which cast a huge and lingering shadow on Bai Yuebai's heart and Li Qianmo's road to recovery.
