Chapter 366: Retreat
Those tigers turned around and left, but Xiao Mo came to his senses!
If it weren't for the fact that he was in a hurry to rush to Liangshan now, and there were White Lotus Sect pursuers behind him, Xiao Mo really wanted to hunt a few tigers to play!
I've lived two lives, and I've never eaten tiger meat or sat on tiger skin!
After crossing Pingyi County and entering the Pingyang territory, Xiao Mo's group of talents can be regarded as taking a breath!
And at this time, it is time to say goodbye to Mingyu and Zhang Hanxin, they want to go south here, go to Jining, and then go straight to the capital!
Of course, Mingyue and Zhang Hanxin are now wearing the coat of the White Lotus Sect and making up as men, as long as they don't deliberately reveal their identities, ordinary people naturally can't see it!
Besides, there is also a master Zhang Hanxin by Mingyu's side!
But Xiao Mo was still a little worried, so he sent Yang Hong, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Lu Zuo to accompany him!
"The three of you should also return to the army, when you get to the capital, go directly to Lord Li, everything has your own Lord Li!" Xiao Mo confessed to Yang Hong and the others!
After the three of them received the order, they escorted Mingyu to the carriage they had just brought in!
Mingyu pursed her lips, looked back at Xiao Mo in the carriage, and then got farther and farther away...... Farther and farther away!
Xiao Mo waved his hand, and finally watched the carriage leave his sight. {}
"Let's go! Go to Liangshan......" Xiao Mo gave an order.
As a result, the 1,000 men and horses started again, because after the people of the White Lotus Sect chased to Pingyi, they lost their target in the mountains, so they had to return to Yizhou.
In Yizhou City, Qiu Buer sat on the main seat of the council hall with a pale face, and next to him sat the Holy Mother.
This time Yizhou was attacked, and his side was caught off guard, and he didn't even touch the figure of the other party, it can be said that this pair of the White Lotus Sect, and even Qiu Buji and Our Lady, are naked provocations and slaps in the face!
For a long time, Yizhou, which has been called the backyard of the White Lotus Sect, has never had such a big **** even in the face of the encirclement and suppression of Shandong by hundreds of thousands of troops from the imperial court, but this time...... Yizhou almost became a sea of fire!
Qiu Buer is not a god, when Xiao Mo and they used fuel cylinders in Yizhou to set Xicheng on fire, whether it was Qiu Buer or Our Lady, naturally there was no way to invite the Dragon King to rain and extinguish the fire, so they had to command the manpower to isolate Xicheng and prevent the spread of the fire! Fortunately, the whole city was making a pilgrimage around the Shotoku Temple, otherwise the fire would not have been extinguished so quickly!
But that's it, it also made the White Lotus Sect suffer a lot of losses, not to mention the houses and buildings in the west city, even the granary at the east end of the city was burned down nearly half of the stored grain!
Although winter has passed, the new year has just begun, the weather is still very cold, and there is still a long time before spring planting or summer ploughing!
But...... Grain stocks are no longer enough to support it, or even ...... Not only Yizhou, but also other state capitals and towns under the White Lotus Sect's sphere of influence, such a situation has also occurred.
The grain is not available, and Lianghuai and Jingdong Road have begun to lock and close the roads again, and the walls are clear, which makes the White Lotus Sect have no place to rob it......
Of course, Liao's side is a way out, but who in the world knows that Xiao Mo sent an envoy to Liao, and made an alliance with the emperor of Liao, and Liaoguo will not help Shandong!
If you help secretly, you can also use the power of the White Lotus Sect to convince those ministers of the Liao State, but ...... The Liao State definitely can't blatantly help the White Lotus Sect, so this method of the White Lotus Sect takes a lot of effort, and the result can only be a drop in the bucket!
Why? First, because the Liao State has to abide by its alliance with the An Dynasty, it can't give support to the White Lotus Sect, so it can only help each other secretly, so the number of supplies supported must not be large, after all, it has to hide people's eyes and ears...... The second reason is that the grain in Liao is not surplus, the grain in Liao mainly depends on the output of wheat, and as for the rice, it is still bought from the An Dynasty every year, where is there any surplus grain for the White Lotus Sect?
Therefore, after Qiu Buer and his subordinates discussed and analyzed, the road of Liao State would not work!
So what to do? Lianghuai and Jingdong Road were sealed to death, could it be that they went north to Liaoguo to rob them?
has already torn his face with An Chao, and offended the Liao State again, this is obviously not a wise strategy!
In the end, Qiu Buji sighed and said, "Now...... We can only cut back on food and clothing and persist in spending March! And let our own army, in the absence of war, go hunting in the mountains, and let the detachments be as self-sufficient as possible, and not use the grain of the granary! ”
In order to save food, it is all up to this......
But the question arises again, even if the army can save some food by hunting, what about the people? The number of the people is far greater than the army! Is it possible to let the people go hunting too?
Hearing this question from his subordinates, Qiu Buji's brows furrowed, obviously thinking about countermeasures.
Then Our Lady said, "This is a problem...... Is it possible to organize a congregation to go fishing on a lake or a seashore? ”
"Seaside ......" Hearing the words of the Holy Mother, Qiu Buji shook his head as expected, and then glared at the Holy Mother and said: "You must not go to the seaside, remember, you must not let the sect members know the secrets of the seaside, otherwise, the sect will definitely be in chaos!" ”
Hearing Qiu Buer's words, everyone's bodies were shocked, and even the Holy Mother looked like she had suddenly realized, and then said: "It's the deity who lost his words!" ”
Qiu Buer glanced at the Holy Mother, he didn't know whether the Holy Mother's words just now were intentional or unintentional, after snorting coldly, Qiu Buer said to an elder who was sitting down: "Elder Sun, you can't let the sect members know about this food matter, you think of a way to see if you can let the sect members live a frugal life for a while?" ”
That Elder Sun had a gray beard and looked a little old, and when he heard Qiu Buer's words, his eyes lit up, and he replied, "Holy King, it's better to ...... The old man opened the altar to pray for blessings, and then said that he understood the will of the temple of sande, and said that he taught the art of immortality......"
Speaking of this, Elder Sun smiled and said, "This immortal technique should be aimed at the ...... of the valley."
"Good!" Hearing this, Qiu Buji understood what Elder Sun meant, and slapped his thigh, looking very satisfied with Elder Sun's strategy!
After deliberating on the plan, the meeting will disperse.
When Elder Sun came out of the council hall, his guards greeted him and asked, "Elder, are you going back to the house?" ”
Elder Sun shook his head and got into the carriage, and then the coachman drove the carriage slowly, and in the carriage, Sun Changlai said to the guard, "What house are you going back to?" Go and do something, you go back and report a letter, and say that the deity has gone to do something, so that the lady doesn't have to wait for the deity to eat......"
After thinking about it, Elder Sun grabbed the guard again, and then said, "Tie Ying, how long have you been following the deity?" ”
The guard named Tie Ying said, "Back to Elder, Tie Ying started following the elder last year!" ”
"Hmm!" Elder Sun nodded, thought for a moment, and then beckoned to Tie Ying, asked him to come over, and then said in his ear: "Tell Madame, clean up at home, this Shandong...... I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for a long time! ”
Tie Ying frowned when he heard this, and asked with some puzzlement, "Why did the elder say this?" ”
Elder Sun said, "You heard it just now! The Holy King was so cautious and nervous about the seaside matter, and it was obvious that he also knew about it. We can't stay in Shandong for a long time, this time the An Dynasty blocked the road and cleared the wilderness, obviously to starve us to death in Shandong. This time, Yizhou was burned to pieces by a fire, and now, the Holy King has no choice! This plan to cut down on food and clothing, isn't it to drink water to quench thirst? It's okay for a while, but if it's a long time, the cultists and soldiers will be in chaos, and by that time...... We'll just have to go one last way! ”
"The last way?" Tie Ying was shocked when he heard this, and then asked, "Elder, if it really comes to the point of chaos in Shandong, do we still have a way out?" ”
Elder Sun thought for a moment and said, "Of course there is!" You also heard that we have three big ships hidden there on the beach, and if things really can't be controlled, at that point, we can naturally get on the ships and flee to Goryeo by sea, and as long as we have an army in our hands, we are not afraid that we will not be able to make a comeback! ”
"Fugitive......" Iron Eagle muttered.
Seeing Tie Ying's reaction, Elder Sun smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the deity will not leave you, you go back and tell Madame what the deity just meant...... Remember, don't let others listen to you, otherwise, the deity won't be able to spare you! ”
Iron Eagle nodded, then neatly walked out of the carport and jumped down.
It's just that after Elder Sun's carriage left, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Tie Ying's mouth, and then he also disappeared into the streets of Yizhou......
Let's say that Xiao Mo and his party passed Pingyang and entered the Liangshan realm.
Coincidentally, Xiao Mo, Ma Yidao and a thousand centaurs had just entered the Liangshan Realm when they encountered a big battle.
The two sides of the battle are not Xiao Mo, they are people from two different villages on Liangshan, Xiao Mo asked Ma Yidao to know, it turns out that these two people are famous horses in this Liangshan area, the Red Horse Gang and the Golden Knife Village!
There were almost a thousand people on the two roads, and they were fighting each other, when they suddenly saw another pair of men and horses, so the leaders on both sides became suspicious, and then they stopped fighting, and they all rearranged their formations in the fastest time, and then looked at each other vigilantly.
"Interesting!" Xiao Mo saw that the people on both sides were so well-trained and had strong execution, so he couldn't help but be interested, so he ran between the Red Horse Gang and the Golden Knife Village.
Seeing this, Ma Yidao hurriedly waved his hand, and then everyone followed behind Xiao Mo!
Who knew that Xiao Mo stopped his horse steps, turned back to Ma and said, "Brother Ma, let my brother stay away!" ”
Ma Yidao nodded, if his thousand people ran over like this, it would be easy to cause misunderstanding.
So, Zhao Guanying and Ma Yidao followed behind Xiao Mo, and Gao Yuanyi took the men and horses to maintain this certain distance.
