A few days later, a reply came from the royal city, Prince Chun, the Privy Council and Emperor Wanlong each wrote one, Prince Chun was furious, the letter was harsh, reprimanding Li Luo for his clan ethics, and really taught a lesson.

Yang Wanli's letter was much milder, just saying that Li Luo's approach caused an uproar in Beijing, which was quite inappropriate, but there seemed to be some praise between the words.

On the other hand, Emperor Wanlong's letter is the simplest, only writing four words: Come back and talk about it.

Li Luo looked at it, and after a long time, he put all the letters away, put them aside, got up, opened the tent curtain, and walked out of the big tent.

The weather in Shahu is getting colder and colder, and today it is sprinkled with small snow particles, Zhuocheng is a good time for dignitaries and nobles to enjoy the scenery along the river, but the Western Regions is already full of depression.

Li Luo walked around in the camp, and from time to time there was the sound of neighing horses and the shouts of soldiers in his ears, and since he killed King Huai and Dou Sheng, the sluggish atmosphere in the army was swept away, and the soldiers of all departments were strong and strong, and they had a little more fighting spirit.

Li Luo walked to the infantry battalion and watched the battalion sergeants practice the art of assassination from a distance, which was the eight styles of bloody combat that Li Luo had learned before, but it was much simpler than what Wang Shi taught, and the moves opened and closed, obviously in order to facilitate the battle in front of the battle.

While Li Luo was watching, Liu Ce hurried over, walked to Li Luo's side, and whispered in a low voice: "General, the forward spies have reported, there seems to be something abnormal in the Xirong army, there are small groups of Xirong troops exploring around our army in the past few days, general, do you want the last general to lead people to capture and kill them?" ”

Li Luo shook his head slightly and said, "No, I have to come sooner or later, I think it's just these few days, just be more vigilant." ”

Liu Ce took the order and rode away. Li Luo turned around and returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, and passed the generals of each battalion to come to the Chinese army to discuss matters.

After a while, all the generals had arrived, and Hu Cha Dongcian and Chi Li were also the generals of the two battalions on the left and right because they were the commanders of the commander's escort, so they sat at the end. After the generals sat down, Li Luo and Liu Ce retold the report to the generals, and everyone's hearts were shocked, and what should have come is finally coming.

Hu Chajing preemptively asked for battle, Li Luo smiled slightly, and said: "But a few detectives, don't make a big move, let them go." In these days, the battalion should be on the defensive, and should not take the initiative to attack. ”

Hu Chajing was quite regretful and sat back.

Seeing this, Shen Xiangdong smiled and said: "General Hucha, don't be discouraged, Xirong has gained the upper hand in the war in the Western Regions over the years, and we must make a name for ourselves in this battle in order to inspire the frontier soldiers. ”

Hu Chajing suddenly realized, looked up at Li Luo, Li Luo was also smiling, Hu Chajing pursed his lips, nodded slightly, and stopped talking.

Li Luo continued: "Set up a camp ten miles behind the camp to stock up on some food, General Qi, these days have been guarded, don't lose food before you meet the Xirong army." ”

Qi Shaobing hurriedly received the order, and then asked carefully: "General, if you encounter Xirong's army, what will the last general do?" ”

"If you meet more than a thousand people, keep the lives of your soldiers."

Qi Shaobing's heart was relieved, he bowed deeply, and sat down.

Liu Ce got up and said: "General, the last general sent someone to drive away the spies from Xirong, these days they are circling around the camp like flies, without a trace of fear, if our army does not act, I am afraid they will be suspicious." ”

"Well, General Liu is reasonable, this matter is called to General Cha to do, and those who can catch up will be captured under the tent, and those who can't be caught will be let go."

"Yes, the last general commands." Hu Chajing replied in a deep voice.

"At least three days, at most five days, Xirong will definitely come to disturb the camp, these days each battalion is more vigilant, calling the general outside, General Liu is inside, can not give Xirong the slightest opportunity."

"The last will obey." The generals responded in unison.

The battalion began to be on alert, and the Xirong army was close at hand, and the army was a little more dignified and nervous.

Li Luo secretly sighed, although the army is strong and strong, but it has been a long time since it left the battlefield, and the degree of relaxation has been scattered, and there are often soldiers who can't sleep all night.

Thinking about it, Li Luo couldn't help but laugh at himself, before the war, he was also in turmoil in his heart, I am afraid that he is far inferior to these soldiers.

On the third day, Li Luo was studying in the tent, when suddenly Ni Qing hurriedly reported that the Xirong army was already thirty miles away.

Li Luo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are the movements of the army in front of the west?" ”

Ni Qing was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was the army of Di Jie, who was going to conquer the west, and hurriedly replied: "General, they only released wolf smoke when Xirong crossed the border, but they did not send troops. ”

Li Luo got up, these days the evil has been a non-detached body, take the guilt and madness leaning on the side, Li Luo picked up the big tent, Ni Bai has already prepared the horse, Li Luofei got on the horse, lifted the reins of the horse, galloped towards the camp gate, and called for the winter cicada and Chi Li to follow closely.

Hucha Winter Cicada is dressed in silver-white light armor, and it is extraordinary, which is a scene of a beauty like a jade sword and a rainbow.

When they arrived at the camp gate, all the generals except Qi Shaobing in the back camp had already gathered in front of the camp early, the horses' hooves were startled, and everyone looked back, all of them were led by the winter cicada, and they all looked at the past, even Liu Ce was no exception.

Hucha Dong Cicada had a calm face, no joy or anger, and was elegant and free, and several young generals who were even more provoked couldn't take their eyes off it.

Liu Ce secretly screamed ashamed, lifted the reins of his horse, came to Li Luo and said, "General, the army of Xirong is already thirty miles away. ”

Li Luo snorted, took a few steps forward, and saw the dust raised by the Xirong cavalry from a distance, like a rolled up evil dragon, pressing towards the camp.

"Can you find out who is coming? How many horses did you lead? ”

"General Yu, this army is led by the Flying Tiger Ninger Peak, one of the five tiger generals under the command of Marshal Qiang Xing of Xirong, there are about more than 30,000 people."

"Thirty thousand?" Li Luo said.

"Yes." Liu Ce replied firmly, "Although Xirong claims to have an army of 400,000, there are only more than 300,000 capable fighters, and the left and right marshals each lead more than 100,000 people. ”

"My 500,000 army is against 300,000 Xirong wolf army, but it's just a barely maintained situation, why is this?"

The generals looked at each other, and no one dared to answer rashly. Li Luo smiled and said: "After all these years of weakness, it is difficult for General Di to maintain it." ”

Shi Chong interjected: "These grandsons have scared Xirong, Xirong's army has passed through the Shahu Prefecture front in such a grand manner, and they don't even dare to send out a single soldier, what's the use of wanting this fortress?" ”

Li Luo laughed and said, "They are looking at us." ”

Shi Chong was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "What do we have to look at." ”

As he spoke, Xirong's army had already arrived ten miles in front of the battle, and the yellow sand in the sky was rolled up, gathering but not chaotic, and the march was quite orderly, and even Liu Ce couldn't help but nod secretly.

Seeing this, Li Luo asked, "Who is in front of you to supervise the battle?" ”

Hu Chajing said: "General, in front is Ding Shu led the Hu cavalry battalion to resist the enemy. ”

"Well, don't let the Xijon army break up the formation."

"General rest assured," Liu Ce continued, "all battalions have been arranged, if Xirong dares to charge the army, my shepherd wolf will come down from the heights, and he will not return." ”

Li Luo nodded, all the generals saluted, and each returned to the camp, and the rest of Shen Xiangdong and Liu Ce, as well as Hu Cha Dongcian and Chi Li, surrounded Li Luo.

The sound of riding horses has gradually entered everyone's ears, mixed with the shouting of Xirong's cavalry, and some of the soldiers who have passed through the battlefield for the first time are pale, and their hands are slightly trembling as they clench their weapons too hard.

Liu Ce looked secretly, Li Luo's face was calm, there was no nervousness, no trace of excitement, but it seemed to be inexplicably sad.
