Chapter 147: Gains and Losses
After a two-day march.
also let Li Yi see Qinglongzhai's stronghold in Baiyue.
This is a place more than 300 miles away from the border between Dashang and Baiyue, there is a small city here, not as big as Bailu City, but there should be no problem with living in this city of 10,000 or 20,000 people, at this time, it is already evening, the whole city is very quiet, and there are rows of soldiers patrolling on the city wall.
"Welcome back to the big master, the big military division, the eldest lady!"
When Li Yi and his party approached, many soldiers suddenly appeared on the city wall, and they all knelt down on one knee and saluted, shouting.
At the same time, the gates opened.
Seeing Li Yidu, he couldn't help but gasp.
The return of the big guy travel, what a big show.
"My father said that this is conducive to the cohesion of the army's heart, and I feel that it should be similar to the role of you in building that statue......" Seeing the change in Li Yi's expression, Qin Wan covered her mouth and snickered, and whispered.
“……”
I built that statue for the power of faith!
Li Yi sweated profusely in his heart.
This is brainwashing, right?
Should be!
Faithful Army...... to live longer and stronger!
Strictly speaking, this behavior of Qinglongzhai is also establishing a kind of faith!
"Big boss, it's getting late, we won't go into the city to bother, and ask the big boss to send someone to take us directly to the nearby fortress."
Li Yi hit his horse to Qin Yang and arched his hand.
"It's okay, I've already asked people to clean up there, Baiyue's information has also been sent there, the coming day is long, we have time to get together again......" Qin Yang nodded slightly and said.
The green dragon rides, everyone's war horses are the best war horses, but they can travel three hundred and fifty miles a day, and some of them have already rushed back.
"Li Yi!"
After greeting Qin Wan, Li Yi turned around and was about to leave, when he was suddenly stopped by Qin Wan.
"You have to be more careful, this is not as good as the territory of Dashang, and ......there may be a war at any time," Qin Wan said with a deep concern in her tone.
"I see."
Li Yi smiled and nodded.
"Driving~"
"Boom—"
Under the guidance of a person from Qinglong Village, Li Yi and his party drove in one direction.
Qin Wan looked at the direction Li Yi had left, and couldn't retract her gaze for a long time.
"The woman is not in the middle of the ......"
Not far away, Qinyang is quiet.
Inside the city.
Qin Yang met with the Great Army Division in a secret room.
"Great military division, what do you see? That Li Yi, is he a member of the imperial court? Qin Yang asked.
Yes, in the past two days, Qin Yang and the Great Army Division have been observing Li Yi, and even the conversation between Qin Yang and Li Yi when he first met was also with a kind of temptation.
He suspected that Li Yi was a member of the imperial court.
Everything is just an excuse for the imperial court to deal with their Qinglong Village, after all, the background of Qinglong Village is relatively special, and it is not easy to deal with it directly.
Let the Black Wind Village rebel, and then push it on their Qinglong Village.
It was really the imperial court that pushed the rebellion of Heifeng Village onto Qinglong Village, and it was too neat and tidy.
Let them have to doubt.
As for the matter of King Jin taking down Li Yi's father, King Jin is a member of the royal family, and it is normal to do things for the court.
Originally, this matter was a bit absurd, the woman who liked Li Yi's father, whose father was also a big man in the court system, was willing to marry the King of Jin for Li Yi's father? It is inevitable that Qin Yang and the army division will not think too much.
Why is this so complicated?
The imperial court can directly support a green forest force to rebel, and then plant it on the body of Qinglongzhai!
Perhaps, the imperial court does not look down on ordinary green forest forces!
Perhaps, the court can do anything, but it just happens to choose Li Yi and his son, after all, this kind of thing is also a disgraceful thing, and you must choose loyal and reliable people, Li Yi and his son, a showman, a lifter, reciting the saint's classics every day, learning to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, but also in line with this kind of personality.
The matter on King Jin's side just made it more reasonable for everyone to watch Li Yi's father and son rebel.
As for...... Why did the people of Black Wind Village come to Baiyue again?
It can also be explained!
Because Qinglong Village has not really been destroyed!
Heifeng Village is carrying the name of rebellion......
With the name of this rebellion, the imperial army can target Qinglong Village again at any time!
In particular, the relationship between Li Yi and Qin Wan, once it is determined, will spread again, and it will make the imperial court even more famous!
"For a while, I can't judge, I listened to Qin Jiu and Qin Thirteen's reports, the speed of the rise of this Black Wind Village is too fast, the green forest forces in Qingyang Erzhou, what is the strength of all parties, you and I are roughly clear, if there is such a great potential, we can't not be aware of it at all, it is very like borrowing strength, but, that Deng Shihu, Zhang Whirlwind and others, they are indeed the green forest figures of Yangzhou, as well as those horse thieves under Deng Shihu......" The military division frowned.
"Did you say you borrowed the power of that woman's family?"
Suddenly, Qin Yang said.
"That ......" the Great Military Master's heart moved.
"Yes, that woman's father is a big man in the army......" Qin Yang nodded.
"It's unlikely, their family has been a general for several generations, not to mention that they are very loyal to the big businessmen, and they will never dare to do this kind of thing in private, this is to pull their entire family down the abyss!" The Great Army Division shook his head.
"Moreover, many of the people around Li Yi can be checked from here, and there are no outsiders......" After a pause, the military division said.
"Could it be that he is really a young man with great talents? Have a vision far beyond ordinary people? Can you select talents that are not easy for ordinary people to find? Qin Yang exhaled slowly and said.
"Let's take a look first, what special background does the other party have, this time, the other party's trip to Baiyue, perhaps, we can see something." The Great Army Master muttered.
"Also...... In the territory of Dashang, on the side of the imperial court, we can also inquire about the news. Then, the Grand Military Division said.
The strength of Dashang is too strong!
If Li Yizhen was a person from the side of the Great Shang Court, they would have to consider the attitude of the Great Shang Court towards Qinglong Village, what the situation was!
Depending on the situation, plan early!
"By the way, these days, I haven't asked, how are the trade routes on the big merchants' side recovering?"
Suddenly, Qin Yang thought of something and asked again.
"It's almost recovered, ten days later, there will be a batch of materials from the territory of the big merchants, everything is going as planned, and when the situation of the big merchants is settled, our trade route strength will at least triple, now, there is only the variable of Black Wind Village." The Great Army Master muttered.
"Don't tell Wan'er about this matter first, I hope everything is what we think about, in the past two days, I see that Li Yi loves his subordinates very much, it is difficult to fake some details, if so, the character is still good, he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of thirteen, and his knowledge is also okay, listen to Qin Thirteen and Qin Jiu, his martial arts are also good, if he is not a person from the court, he is a good husband and wife candidate for Wan'er." Qin Yang nodded slightly and said.
"Wish we had thought about it." The Great Military Division also laughed.
"Alas, I conspire and calculate every day, I really think about it all day long, and now I see everything like a conspiracy and calculation, or it is simple to fight directly, in the future, this kind of thing still needs to be bothered by military advisors, after all, you are a professional, let me think about it as a martial artist, it's really too embarrassing......" Qin Yang rubbed his head.
"The big boss is too humble, and the martial arts strategy of the big boss is the best choice, if you don't make full use of it, it's too much of a loss." The Great Military Master laughed.
"Alas, this time the loss of thirty-five green dragon riders, I hope it won't be too much of a loss......" Qin Yang thought of something again, sighed and said.
The base camp of Qinglongzhai is more than 30 miles away.
Li Yi and his party finally arrived in front of a fortress.
As Qin Yang said before, this fortress is not big, but there should be no problem in accommodating two or three thousand people.
On the way, the person who led the way in Qinglongzhai had already introduced Li Yi that this was the original camp of Qinglongzhai in Baiyue, and as there were more and more people in Qinglongzhai, this place was abandoned and only existed as a sentry.
Usually, Qinglong Village will also garrison one or two hundred people here.
When Li Yi and the others take over this place, those people will evacuate.
When he arrived, the gate of the fort was wide open, and Li Yi did not directly bring people into the fort.
Instead, he sent a dozen elite men to investigate the situation in the fort.
Although, he didn't think that Qinglongzhai would deal with him, otherwise, there would be opportunities along the way, just say that the five hundred Qinglongzai, it would be easy to kill them, but the process that should be taken still has to be taken, and there is no big mistake in being careful.
In just half an hour, the dozen or so people came back and reported that nothing had happened.
At this time, Li Yicai led people into the fort.
During this process, the person who led the Qinglong Village watched from the sidelines, and did not show any dissatisfaction.
"Master Li, this is the Baiyue intelligence that our big boss asked us to hand over to you, if there is nothing else, we will leave directly."
In one of the halls, a man dressed as a leader walked up, handed over a stack of papers, and said.
"I'm sorry for the trouble, I also asked this eldest brother to help tell the Qin family, and said that Heifeng Village is grateful for the resettlement of Qinglong Village." Li Yi took the stack of papers, looked at this person, and said with a smile.
Just now, Li Yi identified this person's attribute board, and he knew that this was also a high-ranking person.
"Don't dare, I will definitely relay the words of Master Li to our boss." The leader hurriedly said.
In any case, Li Yi is also the master of a village that makes them pay attention to the big boss, and I heard that he also has something to do with their eldest lady, even if his status in Qinglong Village is not low, he does not dare to drag it out.
Soon, the entire fortress was left with only the people of Black Wind Village.
At this time, Li Yi was in the mood to sort out the gains and losses of their industry.
When he left Hulu Valley, he took Li Ling and seven high-ranking people, as well as two hundred ordinary soldiers.
Now, Li Ling and seven high-ranking figures have no losses, and two hundred ordinary soldiers have lost more than thirty people.
In fact, compared to the battle two days ago, the record of thousands of enemies was impacted...... Their losses are not large, they can even be said to be small, but this is the biggest loss that their Black Wind Village has experienced in so many battles.
It is also more than the loss they suffered when they moved on a large scale in the Hengling Mountains, and when they broke off the troops and fought a guerrilla war with the 3,000 Shenwu Army.
It is the lives of people, the lives of those who believe in him and choose to follow him, not unrelated people.
In addition to this, there were the lives of dozens of captives.
made Li Yi's mood a little complicated for a while.
However, the harvest is also very large!
First of all, more than 800 war horses!
Among them, there are more than 100 intermediate-level war horses and two high-level horses!
And then the prisoners, minus the losses, and four hundred and twelve!
In other words, their personnel has increased rather than decreased, and the number is already close to six hundred!
Among them, many of them were promoted by Li Yi to intermediate and junior military positions...... It can be said that their strength is actually much stronger than when they left the Gourd Valley!
The fifth day of the eighth month.
Li Yi and they left the Hulu Valley on the tenth day.
Li Yi and the others also stayed in this fortress for three days.
In the past three days, Qin Wan came to see Li Yi every day, and the two sometimes rode horses to browse the surroundings, not to mention the cultivation of various feelings, Li Yi also saw the scenery and chaos of Baiyue.
The speed of the wild horse king is very fast, in the past three days, the two of them have ridden a horse, and they have walked hundreds of miles in total, and they have also seen many scattered battles, some people see that Li Yi's horse is good, and even want to grab Li Yi's horse.
However, Li Yi didn't wait for those people to get close, and rode away.
"Aren't they afraid that one day they will beat people out of the way? No matter how much new population there is, it's not enough to fight like this, right? ”
Finally, Li Yi couldn't help but speak.
"First of all, ordinary fights, not necessarily fatal, secondly, Baiyue people are not good at growing food, there are a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, but the impact of natural disasters is very serious, this place, can not raise too many people, once there is a serious natural disaster, not so killed, will starve to death, finally, this is also the edge of Baiyue, so it is more chaotic, it is said that there are big tribes in the depths to restrain the tribes, there are not so many fights, and the living environment there is better."
Qin Wan smiled and said.
Qin Wan's words were not in the information that Qin Yang gave to Li Yi, and it was normal, most of the information in the intelligence was all kinds of data, the distribution of forces, and no matter how much it was, the strength of the forces of all parties, and the more powerful figures of all parties, generally did not have this kind of summary language at a higher level.
"If I attack a Baiyue tribe, I don't know if it's okay?"
Li Yi's heart moved and asked.
"Yes, but it's better to have a valid reason, although Baiyue is a forest of various ethnic groups and fights with each other, but in their hearts, they are still different from our big merchants, very xenophobic, or, they are very jealous of our big merchants, if you attack a tribe casually, without any reason, it is easy to cause them to panic and reject as a whole." Qin Wan thought for a moment and said.
"Just the right reason? Did they steal our horses two days ago? ”
Li Yi chuckled.
"That's fine, but have you figured it out? The situation of Baiyue is not so easy to open, in front, you can attack a small number of small tribes, if you attack more, it will inevitably attract the attention of the big tribes, at that time, they may regard you as a big enemy, and lead troops to attack, some of the big tribes are very strong, even our Qinglongzhai is not an opponent. Qin Wan looked at Li Yi seriously.
Once something is done, it's hard to stop.
She didn't know where Li Yi's goal was.
