On the seventh day of September, the alliance army gathered in Goutoubo and successfully formed the alliance horse army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The alliance horse army consisted of more than 300 horsemen originally subordinate to the Fengyun Army, more than 1,000 horse thieves and robbers who surrendered and joined them, and more than 400 horsemen forcibly recruited from the guards of the border city merchants, a total of 2,000 horsemen. Li Fengyun named it the Thunder Army, divided into two provinces, left and right, with five regiments and 1,000 knights in each province. Hu Yanjian, the head of the Thunder Zuofu, and the deputy head of Jingjiang Liujin and An Beihai; Gao Hu, the head of the Thunder Right Mansion, and the deputy head of Di Luo Bachao and Red Bean.

Among the commanders of the horse army, An Beihai is the most eye-catching, because he is the son of the desert giant Andriol, although Andriol has many sons, An Beihai is neither the descendant nor the most capable, but after all, it is Andriol's "face", and at this critical moment, Andriol's every move has attracted much attention, so An Beihai served as the head of the alliance horse army, fighting side by side with the Middle-earthers, which is actually equivalent to sending a message to all the Han merchants who came to him, that is, cooperation. What does it mean for Andriol to work together in such a high-profile manner? It means benefits, only rich interests will move him, so that he can take the initiative to cooperate, and this is a positive and optimistic signal for most of the Han businessmen who do not know the inside story and are panicked, which can play a role in stabilizing people's hearts to a certain extent.

That night, the alliance military meeting, Li Fengyun issued an order, rushed to the Lightning River, and killed Qishuibo.

On the eighth day of the ninth month, the alliance army continued to move north, entering the Star Plain, approaching the Lightning River.

The various tribes scattered in the Star Plains were caught off guard and retreated in a panic, but fortunately, the Tooth Banner had already issued a warning and asked them to evacuate as soon as possible, and they were already mentally prepared, plus Li Fengyun strictly restrained the soldiers of the army, and did not allow them to bully and burn indiscriminately, so as not to delay the time and affect the itinerary, so as long as these tribes avoided the menacing alliance army, they could be considered lucky.

On the eighth day of September, seven water bo, moraine southeast tooth flag.

Ashina was shocked by the secret report in front of him.

Andriol reported again, on the fifth day of the first month, the knife left Huaihuang with the Xuanfeng army, and rushed north with all the merchants and supplies in the border market, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Lightning River. On the same day, the follow-up army of Dao arrived at Swallow Plain, and all his troops were estimated to be between 60,000 and 80,000 troops, neat and well-equipped, and the soldiers seemed to be well-trained and high morale. Andriol sighed that he had overestimated the strength of the sword, but in fact, the strength of the knife was far stronger than he expected, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't even imagine it, how could a thief build such a powerful army in such a short period of time? What amazing tricks were used? How do miracles work?

In addition, Andriol also discovered a major secret, and it was because of the existence of this secret that Andriol spread the secret again, regardless of his personal danger.

When the follow-up army of Dao arrived in Swallow Plain, Andriol made an unbelievable discovery that the commander of this army was actually Li Zixiong, the famous and powerful Duke of Jianchang in Middle-earth. He was stunned, incredulous, his mind went blank, his mind was completely disorganized, and it felt like the whole world had been turned upside down.

Andriol frequently traveled between the north and the south, actively collected intelligence for the tooth tent, knew Li Zixiong very well, and knew that he was a loyal subordinate of Yang Su, the hottest powerful minister in Middle-earth, and one of the twelve David's generals in the Middle-earth military. Such a powerful minister, even if he falls, his political influence is still immeasurable, and his status is still prominent, how can he be willing to degenerate, self-destruct and fall into the grass?

According to Dao's cronies, Li Zixiong returned at the end of last year and led his army to participate in the expedition, and then planned and launched this summer's mutiny with Yang Xuangan. During the mutiny, Yang Xuangan attacked the eastern capital, while Li Zixiong sat in Liyang, and was soon defeated by the king of Qi, and in desperation, he took refuge in the army of the sword. There are still many powerful people who fled with Li Zixiong, including not only the children of the royal family, but also the children of today's important ministers in Middle-earth. Now they are all in command of the army of the sword, and they are out of the jam with the sword, fighting side by side.

What does this secret say? It shows that the sword is indeed a person from the Middle-earth court, the sword's army has the support of the Middle-earth court, and the sword out of the fortress battle is for the emperor of Middle-earth to charge into battle and fight bloodily for the strategic goal of Middle-earth. If you think more far-reaching, and your imagination is richer, there must be the elite of the Middle Earth Guard in the army that fought in this Blockade, and these elite troops were led by Li Zixiong and those noble children who "fled", who held the banner of the sword, hid in the army of the sword, and faithfully carried out the orders of the Emperor of Middle-earth.

And this strongly proves that the judgment of the motive and purpose of the sword out of the plug before the tooth tent is correct, but the sword army is so large and strong, and the Middle-earth court gives him such strong support, is its purpose just to contain the Turks in the southeast of the moraine?

Soon, without waiting for the invitation of Ashina, Butler Ashina Simo and Tong Lifa Shi Shu Huxi hurried over.

Andriol, the desert giant, dared not offend anyone, and every time the secret report was directly presented to the three of them, lest they be hated, but this time the information was too important and too confidential, and it was impossible for him to obtain it alone, and the only explanation was what the knife told him, and he told the three magnates in the tooth banner through his channel. In this way, the motive of the knife is complicated, the first thing to suspect is the authenticity of the intelligence, as for the rest, such as whether there is a deliberate purpose to provoke internal contradictions in the tooth flag, it is no longer important, and now the three of them are anxious and anxious and can no longer care about making contradictions.

Tong Lifa Shi Shu Hu Xi asserted that this information was false and a suspicious tactic of the knife.

"I'm too familiar with knives, and I know what he's trying to do all these years." Shi Shu Huxi sneered, "He ******** want to take revenge, but there are too many people he wants to kill, not only those of us who besieged and killed him back then, but also those who betrayed him back then, and those people are all in the Great Wall, high above the temple, how can he kill?" Of course, he has no place to stand outside the fortress, and it is understandable that he turned back to Middle-earth to raise a banner and rebel, but if he has 70,000 or 80,000 horses in Middle-earth and has the strength to cause trouble, he will still go out of the fortress and cause chaos? So I think this is a suspicious tactic, that is, to intimidate us, so that we are afraid and dare not fight, so the knife easily achieves the purpose of containment. ”

Ashina was expressionless, but he was secretly resentful in his heart. Shi Shu Hu Xi has a deep grudge against the knife, knows the knife very well, and knows that the knife is coming at him, but Shi Shu Hu Xi understated it, deliberately ignored it, and opened his mouth to talk nonsense, making it clear that he wanted to use Ashina to kill people with this knife.

"This is a very important matter, which is related to the stability of the southeast and the survival of the tribe, and we must be cautious and not have the slightest negligence." Ashina Simo said with a pun.

"What you are worried about is nothing more than Pei Shiju, and it is determined that behind the knife is Pei Shiju, and everything the knife does comes from Pei Shiju's instructions." Shi Shu Huxi raised his hand and shook it, "You all know that although it was not Pei Shiju who betrayed the knife back then, Pei Shiju neither stopped nor helped, in fact, he acquiesced, so as far as a certain know, since then, the knife has broken off with Pei Shijuen and turned against him." ”

Ashina Simo was about to refute, but Shi Shu Huxi raised his hand to stop, "You listen to me first, I have evidence." When I found out that the knife was still alive, he was in the Song Desert, and he had a small scale, and at that time I also doubted whether Pei Shiju intended to annex the three tribes in the northeast, so he sent troops to encircle and suppress it, and it was decided in a battle. At that time, the Middle Earth side not only did not obstruct, but gave some help, which is enough to show Pei Shiju's attitude towards the knife. ”

Also, from Pei Shiju's standpoint, the Western Territories are more important than the Northern Frontier, and the Western Regions are far more important than Goguryeo, which is why he did his best to pass through the Western Territories. As long as the western soil is in hand, the desert will fall into the middle of the east and west, so the northern frontier of Middle-earth can be safe, but the result? As a result, instead of consolidating and strengthening the achievements of the Western Expedition and consolidating its control over the Western Territory, the Middle Earth could not wait to launch the Eastern Crusade, so that today it is in the midst of internal and external difficulties, and the Western Xinjiang is even more in an unprecedented crisis. This can prove that if Pei Shiju and the knife are still like father and son, then the battlefield of the knife must be in the western soil, and with the ability of the knife, even if it cannot prevent the Western Turks from sweeping the Western Regions, it should be able to prevent the Tuyuhun people from returning to the country. However, from the current news obtained from the tooth tent, it can be inferred that the restoration of the Tuyuhun people is a foregone conclusion, and the crisis in the western Xinjiang has tied half of the arms of Middle-earth, which is irreversible, in this situation, Pei Shiju definitely does not want to fight on two fronts, but the emperor of Middle-earth and many princes and ministers of the Eastern Capital are very aggressive, trying to provoke the two tigers to fight, in order to profit from it, and even directly launch a war between the north and the south, giving the desert a heavy blow. What Pei Shiju didn't want to do, but the knife was resolute, doesn't this still explain the fierce conflict between the two? ”

Ashina Simo smiled meaningfully, "You want to tell us that in the current tense situation, Pei Shiju can be ignored, and the knife can also be ignored, we just need to focus on both sides of the weak Luo River, right?" So, how to explain Li Zixiong's sudden appearance? Could it be that this is also a suspicious tactic of the knife? ”

Shi Shuhu hesitated for a moment and said solemnly, "The difference between you and me is whether to block the enemy with heavy troops. You are worried that the enemy army is strong, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 yourself, and you are worried that turning against Middle-earth will cause a war between the north and the south, while I am worried that the Middle-earth people will sweep through the three tribes in the northeast and firmly control both sides of the weak Luoshui River, posing a deadly threat to our desert flank. Once this threat is formed, a major war between the North and the South will be just around the corner, and it will be very unfavorable to our desert. Shi Shu Huxi's voice gradually became cold and aggressive, "It is related to the rise and fall of the desert, the survival of the tooth tent, which is more important, do you still need to screen?" ”

The big hat was buttoned down, and Ashina Simo couldn't bear it, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

Ashina looked forward and backward, it was difficult to make a decision, for a long time, he looked up at Shi Shu Huxi, and asked, "According to your analysis, the knife and Pei Shiju have already turned against each other, and the knife is isolated, so this time the knife led the army out of the fortress, is it desperate and desperate to survive?" ”

Shi Shu Huxi nodded without hesitation, "I said, he wanted to take revenge ********, and he did everything to get revenge, and according to the news he got from the Zhongtu Palace, Li Zixiong did participate in the Eastern Capital Mutiny, and he was also desperate, and he was desperate to survive." ”

Ashina was silent and fell into the trade-off.

"Those are two outlaws, and they are also outlaws who distrust each other and use each other, and they are not vulnerable to the fierce attack of my tens of thousands of strings." Shi Shu Huxi strongly instigated, "If this battle can be won in one drum and decided in one battle, not only will countless captures be captured, but also the conspiracy to attack the Northeast in Middle-earth will be destroyed at the fastest speed and the lowest cost, and the Tooth Banner will be able to develop and grow even more because of this." ”

The last sentence was very tempting, and Ashina finally wavered.
