Chapter Seventy-Three: The Army of the Mob

Li Mao...... Is there still a cavalry? ”

Finally settled in Jijing unharmed, Xie An couldn't help but ask Li Xian, the king of the eight sages, when he climbed the tower, he really couldn't imagine that Li Mao, the king of Yan, had such an elite iron cavalry as the Yuyang Iron Cavalry, but there was another cavalry hidden without being known to the world.

Hearing Xie An's inquiry, Li Xian sighed slightly, and it could be seen that the prime minister's face was not too good-looking, as if he was troubled by something on his mind, and after being silent for dozens of breaths, he spit out a noun in a sighing tone.

"Liaodong Expeditionary Force!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Xie An was subconsciously stunned, stopped and looked at Li Xian in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "What?" What expeditionary force? ”

"Liaodong Expeditionary Force!" Shen Sheng repeated it again, and Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, was not in a hurry to go to the section of the city wall where the Great Zhou Emperor Li Shou was, and looked at the northern army under the city that had not yet retreated, as well as his half-brother Li Mao, the king of Yan, who was holding a halberd and watching the city with an indifferent look.

Xie An was about to ask, when suddenly the dust and sand in the northeast were heavy, and the sound of trampling horses' hooves was incessant, and they were getting closer and closer.

Faintly, Xie An seemed to hear a few strange screams.

"Yo-hoo! Yo hoo! Yo hoo! ”

"Sure enough......" After hearing the strange voice, the expression of Li Xian, the Eight Sages King, suddenly became solemn, and even, a trace of anger faintly flashed on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "It's too much, Li Mao!" ”

"......" Xie An glanced at Li Xian, the Eight Sages King, puzzled. I couldn't understand why this usually gentle gentleman would change his face so much because of a reinforcement from the other side, until his eyes saw the reinforcement cavalry from the northern frontier.

"Huh? This is ......" Even though Xie An's state of mind has been honed over the years, he was stunned this time, because he saw it. The cavalry team that came from afar didn't seem to be like the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou.

You must know that all the armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty are basically all army-made armor. With the corresponding army commander's flag, but the strange cavalry team is good, not to mention the messy banner, even the cavalry in the army is dressed differently, some wear leather armor, some wear armor, and some are wrapped in coarse cloth, if it weren't for these people sitting on war horses, Xie An really thought that they were barbarians who ran out of nowhere. Lack of education.

Isn't that a lack of education? I saw those people galloping on their horses. On the one hand, he wielded all kinds of things, some wielding weapons, some wielding horsewhips. There are also those who are shirtless and waving their shirts, and. These people don't know what to call in their mouths, and they make people feel irritated from the bottom of their hearts.

[Foreign cavalry?] ]

Xie Anxin suddenly had a thought, frowned, and turned his head to look at Li Xian, waiting for his explanation of this.

As if noticing Xie An's strange appearance, Li Xian, the Eight Sages King, took a long breath, then slowly relaxed his clenched fists, and said in a mournful manner, "Lord Xie's guess is right, this foreign cavalry is the Liaodong Expeditionary Force that Xiao Wang Fangcai refers to, or ...... Wolf cavalry! ”

"Wolf cavalry? Beirong wolf ride?! Xie An's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Xian with a look of disbelief.

[These people are the Beirong wolf riders that Wu'er fought hard with in northern Hebei back then?] ]

It is no wonder that Xie An's face changed suddenly, you must know that thirteen years ago, the battle of northern Hebei, it was a well-known battle of national martyrdom, that year, the leader of a large tribe on the grassland, that is, the brother of Youdou, one of the five tigers under the command of Li Mao, the king of Yan, the wolf of the Cangyuan, Gutu Hachi, gathered dozens of tribes on the grassland, and formed a cavalry composed of 100,000 grassland children, like a wolf and a tiger to the south to plunder Kou Dazhou, in just a few months, destroyed the Yuyang Iron Cavalry formed and passed down by Liang Qiugong, the tiger of northern Xinjiang, He also captured the entire land of Youyan for a time, and then the soldiers pointed to Jijing, and once burned the flames of war to the gateway to the north of Jijing, that is, the place where Xie An's wife Liang Qiuwu was besieged, Boling.

And this foreign invasion cavalry from the grassland is called the Beirong wolf cavalry, or rather, the wolf cavalry.

It is not that these cavalrymen from the steppes came on terrible wolves, as they were literally, because most of them believed in wolves as their gods or ancestors, and they were so ferocious that they passed through places as if wolves were passing by.

Countless towns and villages were destroyed by them, and the people and men in the villages were killed, and the women were reduced to the tools of their animal desires, even as slaves.

It is said that when the Beirong wolf rode in the invasion of the Great Zhou Dynasty and attacked Boling, the gateway to the north of Jijing, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, each wolf cavalry even tied a woman captured from the land of Youyan in the Great Zhou Dynasty on horseback, so that it could be used to vent the beast's desires at night.

At that time, millions of Youyan people were implicated in the war, and even the Great Zhou court was intimidated by this foreign cavalry, and discussed moving the capital to avoid the edge of this cavalry.

At that time, the Gyeonggi division of Jijing was still under the control of the former prince Li Wei, although Li Wei was close to the weak crown at that time, but his courage and courage could not be compared with him later.

Even Li Wei, the later hero, was timid, not to mention the originally cautious third prince Li Shen and the fifth prince Li Cheng, who was only a obedient younger brother next to the crown prince Li Wei at the time, the two future heroes, so except for Li Xian, the eight sage kings who tried to replace his father Li Ji and went to Jiangnan to pacify the people, the rest of the princes all fell to the conservatives who were in favor of moving the capital.

Of course, it does not include the current Great Zhou Emperor Li Shou, after all, in terms of Li Shou's identity and status back then, it seems that such national events are not his turn to have the right to speak.

Having said that, in fact, as far as the military of the Great Zhou Dynasty was concerned, there was actually no need for the princes to come forward to turn the tide, after all, there were still two famous generals in the court at that time, Liang Qiu Gong and Lu Gong, who could fight well, but the problem was that the four towns were not a real military system after all. And the highest position in the military at that time was the general Wu Bang, the unlucky ghost who died in the hands of Liang Qiuhao, the grandson of Liang Qiu's grandson, and even this guy fell to the conservatives, so Liang Qiu Gong and Lu Gong naturally didn't want to say anything. And the most important point is. At that time, the Great Zhou Emperor Li Ji did not say anything.

Later, Liang Qiugong thought about it again and again, and felt that Li Ji did not say anything at that time, and even showed all kinds of moves that tended to move the capital, which was very likely to hone the fourth son of the emperor, Li Mao. After all, at that time, Li Mao was making a lot of noise in the DPRK every day, and he took the initiative to ask for help more than once, and was willing to raise troops to the north to block the Beirong wolf cavalry.

In the end, Li Mao got what he wanted and won the task of going north to crusade against Wairong, and Liang Qiugong, who understood the intention of Li Ji, the son of heaven, also resigned from the post of deputy marshal of the Northern Expeditionary Army under the pretext of illness, recommended his granddaughter Liang Qiuwu, and officially retired to the background. Handed over the Eastern Army Shenwu Camp to his granddaughter who had not yet reached the end of his life.

I have to say that Liang Qiugong and Li Ji, the son of heaven, thought of a piece. At the same time as the Son of Heaven Li Ji cultivated Li Mao. Liang Qiu Gong also regarded this battle as a training for Liang Qiu Dance, because Liang Qiu Dance was originally an amazing talent with extremely high martial arts talent, and more importantly. At that time when Liangqiu Hao's immortal return to the Taiping army lurked in the south of the Yangtze River and never appeared in the world, Liangqiu Dance can be said to be the only heir and hope of Liangqiu. Liang Qiu Gong hopes that she can shoulder the responsibilities and obligations of inheriting and even prospering the Liang Qiu family after being tempered.

But unfortunately, although Li Mao and Liang Qiuwu at that time were not bad in terms of martial arts strategy and military strategy, they were always inexperienced, and it was hard to imagine that these two future battlefield martial gods would be helpless in front of a group of wolf cavalry and defeated again and again.

At this time, Li Xian, who was in the south of the Yangtze River, used a letter to Li Mao and Liang Qiuwu to ask for a genius in the world, that is, the eldest granddaughter of the eldest grandson family, one of the Jizhou military divisions who had unparalleled plans and no last resort in the future, and Xiangyu, the eldest grandson of Yuji.

As the eldest grandson Xiangyu said to Xie An later, this genius who has the ability to overwhelm the world, at that time had long been tired of the life of Jijing and Ping'an Tai, and she longed for excitement and novelty, so she responded to Li Xian's request for a small hair, and with the support of the old man who knew her talents and abilities, she joined the main military department, and gave orders on behalf of the military department in the name of Yingong, without leaving Jijing, but remotely commanded the Northern Expeditionary Army of Li Mao and Liang Qiuwu, and used 80,000 soldiers and civilians in Gaoyang City as bait with vicious and aggressive means. finally helped Li Mao and Liang Qiuwu turn the situation around, and then Liang Qiuwu killed the wolf of Cangyuan Gutu Hachi in the battle of northern Hebei, laying the foundation for the victory of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

It can be said that it was the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Li Mao, and Liang Qiuwu who joined forces to defeat the Beirong wolf rider who was called the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time.

And why is such a powerful foreign military force in Li Mao's hands?

Glancing at Li Xian, the Eight Sages King beside him, who was sighing for a long time and obviously caught up in his memories, Xie An couldn't help but ask what was in his heart.

Sighing slightly, Li Xian stroked the city wall with his right hand, looked at the wolf cavalry in strange costumes under the city, frowned and watched the group of people pass under the city, and screamed strangely in his mouth.

"Xiao Wang is just hearsay...... After Li Mao was ordered by his father to settle in Yuyang, he wanted to emulate the magnificent deeds of Liang Qiugong, the uncle of Liang Qiu Gong and the tiger of Northern Xinjiang, and turn the grassland into a school ground for my Great Zhou to train cavalry......"

[Turn the grassland into a school ground for my Great Zhou to train cavalry?] Brother's dad is really domineering......]

Although it was not the first time he had heard of it, hearing Li Xian say this, Xie An couldn't help but gasp.

However, he was surprised and surprised, but he did not interrupt Li Xian's words.

"Xiao Wang's fourth brother is a person who must be revenged, and in the second year after the formation of the Yuyang Iron Cavalry, he pointed his troops at the culprit of the Great Zhou Dynasty Battle, the Blue Wolf Tribe! But at that time, due to the defeat and retreat in my Great Zhou country, the situation of the blue wolf tribe was not optimistic, and it was regarded as a defeated sinner by the tribes on the grassland, and it became a vassal of other large tribes from the former big tribe...... So much so that after the fourth brother sent troops to the grassland, the blue wolf tribe actually surrendered to the fourth brother in order to take revenge on the grassland tribes that had persecuted them in those years with the help of the fourth brother's strength......"

[No wonder Nayou Dou will be a general under Li Mao's tent......]

Xie An nodded suddenly, he had been very strange before, why the younger brother of the wolf of the Cangyuan Gutu Hachi would be under Li Mao's account and become Li Mao's confidant, after Li Xian said this, he realized that after the defeat of the blue wolf tribe back then, their situation on the grassland must have been quite unoptimistic, and it is not difficult to imagine that there will be many grassland tribes who will put the blame for the defeat on their heads.

"The Blue Wolf Tribe is the first grassland tribe to surrender to the fourth brother...... The fourth brother is not a reckless man. He has studied under the seat of Liangqiu for many years, how can he not know the truth of using raze to control raze and barbarism to control barbarianism? After destroying a large tribe, he promised rewards to the warriors of that tribe, turning them into his personal soldiers. Help him conquer the grassland ......"

"Raiders on the grasslands?" Xie An glanced at Li Xian in surprise.

As if noticing Xie An's surprised look, Li Xian smiled faintly and said calmly, "Fourth brother's heart is very big. He is not satisfied with the great achievements of Liang Qiu Gong, the tiger of the northern frontier, nor is he satisfied with just turning the grassland into a training place for my Great Zhou, and the great exploits of his father's southern expedition to the north have been longed for by the fourth brother since he was a child...... The whole world is not the king's land! The place where the rising sun shines will be transformed into the land of my Great Zhou, this is the ambition of Xiao Wang's fourth brother! ”

"Good guy......" Xie An gasped in shock, he never thought that the ambition of Li Mao, the king of Yan, would be so far-reaching, no wonder the old emperor would canonize him as King Xiang. Known as the first warrior of the Li royal family of the Great Zhou. Compared to this ambition. Uncle Liang Qiugong's exploits are nothing.

"But. The Yuyang Iron Cavalry, which was beginning to take shape, could not support Li Mao's attack on the grassland, so Li Mao needed a death squad. He needs an army to harass the various tribes of the steppe all the time......"

"Is it the Liaodong Expeditionary Force?" Xie An asked.

"Hmm!" Li Xian nodded and said in a deep voice. "Li Mao organized a large number of steppe warriors from the destroyed tribes...... On the grassland, every day there are big tribes destroying small tribes, and once the tribe is destroyed, the warriors of the small tribes will become the slaves of the big tribe, serving the big tribe that has destroyed their tribes, therefore, loyalty is a very rare thing to see on the grassland, maybe a grassland warrior is still with you to kill the enemy today, tomorrow will become your enemy...... With great strength and rich rewards, Li Mao used two things to collect a group of extremely vicious thugs under his command, instigating them to raise butcher knives against their former compatriots, harassing and raiding those big tribes all the time, weakening the strength of those big tribes, so as to facilitate Yuyang Tie to ride out of the fortress to crusade...... And so day after day, day after day, those wolf cavalry ...... No, it should be said that the Liaodong Expeditionary Force has become a strong force under Li Mao's command that is not inferior to the Yuyang Iron Cavalry! ”

"Good guy......" Xie An glanced at Li Mao, the king of Yan who had not yet retreated from the city, in surprise, and was surprised that Li Mao could think of this snowball method to attack the grassland, and this method could be implemented smoothly.

However, when he thought of the personal martial arts and strong military strength possessed by Yan King Li Mao, Xie An did not feel strange.

"Liaodong Expeditionary Force...... Are those wolf cavalry hard to deal with? Xie An asked tentatively, because he could see that Li Xian seemed to be extremely jealous of this army.

As if he had guessed what Xie Anxin was thinking, Li Xian shook his head and said, "The strength is similar to that of the Yuyang Iron Cavalry, well, maybe the strength of the individual soldiers is not as good as the Yuyang Iron Cavalry......"

"And what are you so worried about?" Xie An wondered, you must know that the Jizhou Army under his command is facing the Yuyang Iron Cavalry, not to mention the Liaodong Expeditionary Force, which is not as strong as the Yuyang Iron Cavalry.

"Xie Shangshu, you don't understand!" Li Xian shook his head, and said in a more aggravated tone, "The Liaodong Expeditionary Force is different from the Yuyang Iron Cavalry, which is a regular army with strict discipline, while the Liaodong Expeditionary Force ...... It's a bunch of thugs, a vicious thug! If he could, Xiao Wang really didn't want those thugs to set foot in the land of my Great Zhou again! Speaking of this, he sighed faintly, shook his head and said, "Guan Fangcai Liaodong Expeditionary Force came from the northeast, Xiao Wang is really worried, where the thugs passed, whether the people of my Great Zhou are safe, whether the villages are safe, and whether the towns are safe......"

Xie An was stunned when he heard this, he realized that Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, simply regarded this Liaodong expeditionary force as a disaster like a locust plague, and it is no wonder, after all, Li Mao originally regarded them as locust envoys and told them to harass and persecute the tribes on the grassland, so as to facilitate the follow-up conquest of the Yuyang Iron Cavalry, and now that this locust army has actually set foot in the land of the Great Zhou, it is no wonder that Li Xian has a long text message and is indignant in his heart.

"Lure the wolf into the room, lure the wolf into the room!" Shaking his head, Li Xian pounded his chest and sighed.

At the same time, under the capital of Ji, Li Mao, the king of Yan, looked upstairs in the capital of Jijing, looking for Xie An and Li Xian.

"It's just a thin line......

With a whisper, Le Xu and Zhang Qi, one of the Five Tigers of Northern Xinjiang, came to Li Mao's side before speaking. It's a happy continuation.

"Hmm......" Li Mao replied softly, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Le Xu hesitated for a moment and continued. "The Jizhou army is not simple, I can guess that His Royal Highness has transferred reinforcements from Liaodong......"

"......" Li Mao continued to look at the city, silent.

Glancing at Li Mao, Le Xu spoke again. "But it's no wonder that after all, there are two resourceful military advisors in the Jizhou army, Li Xian and Sun Xiangyu, the eldest son of the concubine......"

"......" Li Mao turned his head and glanced at Le Xu when he heard this, and said unhappily, "Le Xu, what do you want to say?" Let's say it directly, don't beat around the bush, you should know that this king hates talking around the bush the most! ”

Le Xu opened his mouth after hearing this, and stopped talking. Zhang Qi next to him couldn't help it. He frowned and lowered his voice. "Your Highness, why do you want to recruit those thugs?"

After saying that, Zhang Qi couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Liaodong Expeditionary Army. I saw that the gang gathered under the capital of Jijing, provoking the defenders in the city in an extremely vulgar way. Even some soldiers not only stripped off their shirts, but also took off most of their pants, urinated in the direction of the head of Jijing City, and laughed at the defenders of the city.

Putting aside the effect of the provocation for the time being, Zhang Qi felt that his face was gloomy, and he was deeply humiliated, and he wanted to withdraw his troops immediately, so as not to let people know that the uneducated Beirong also belonged to his soldiers and horses in the northern frontier.

Ah, it's a shame to have such a group of allies!

Shame on you!

"Thugs...... Is it? Taking a deep breath, Yan King Li Mao looked up at the head of Jijing City.

He didn't speak, because he was speechless, if it weren't for the special situation, he didn't want to recruit the Liaodong Expeditionary Army, an army that was no different from the most vicious thugs, and even he was faintly worried that this time would lead the wolf into the house.

In Li Mao's opinion, even if this group of people is given great courage, they don't dare to bite him in turn, but the problem is that this group of people is really difficult to tame, although it is not enough to fight against him Yan King Li Mao, but in the case that he Li Mao is not paying attention, he privately attacked and destroyed several cities and counties, and these people can still do it, after all, the purpose of his Li Mao's original formation of this expeditionary force was to ask this gang of thugs to cause trouble for the grassland, but now the situation is special, Li Mao has no choice but to recruit them.

And when it comes to the root of this matter, it still lies in Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and Liao Li, the three partial commanders of the Jizhou Army. A while ago, the Jizhou army led by them fought with the Yuyang Iron Cavalry under Li Mao's command, and in the end, it was his Li Mao's side that lost all three battles.

After all, if it was just an ordinary army, no matter how lightly the Yuyang Iron Cavalry was, it would not be possible to lose so badly.

Because he has realized that the Jizhou army is no longer what it used to be, and it is no longer the soft-footed shrimp army under the former prince Li Wei, Li Mao is in a hurry to need reinforcements, otherwise when Xie An's Jizhou army arrives, the strength of the military lineups of the two sides may be completely reversed.

Although Boling still has Li Mao's seventy or eighty thousand troops, Li Mao does not dare to call it, after all, those troops are responsible for besieging a fierce female tiger, once she breaks free from the cage, the threat is far above the Jizhou army.

So, half a month ago, when Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and Liao Li showed off their might in front of the Yuyang Iron Cavalry for a while, Li Mao had no choice but to recruit an expeditionary force far away in Liaodong and even Lelang, hoping to use this strange army to wipe out the Jizhou army entirely, even if it was the same Li Mao did not hesitate.

It is no wonder that, after all, in terms of the deterrence and strength of Li Mao, the king of Yan, it doesn't matter whether there is an army of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force or not, after all, the purpose of the initial formation of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force was only to drag those big tribes on the grassland to death, so as to facilitate the destruction of the Yuyang Iron Cavalry, which was beginning to take shape at that time. And now, the Yuyang Iron Cavalry has become the overlord of the grassland, so that the Liaodong Expeditionary Force, which is a big army, has become a cancer under Li Mao's command that does not know when it will erupt.

Rather than this, it is better to be recruited and asked to die with the Jizhou army, anyway, he Li Mao is not distressed.

Based on this thought, Li Mao finally transferred the foreign wolf cavalry of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force.

As Xie An, Li Xian, and eldest grandson Xiangyu expected, even if Li Mao was idle and had nothing to do, he would not be alone in the Jizhou army, so as to thwart the arrogance of the Jizhou army.

This was just the work of a reckless man, but Li Mao was a famous general in Northern Xinjiang who studied under Liang Qiugong. How could they do such a courageous and unscrupulous thing?

The reason why he pretended to be indignant and dragged the Jizhou army was nothing more than waiting for the wolf-like thugs of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force to arrive, but unfortunately, he obviously underestimated the scheming of Xie An, Li Xian, Changsun Xiangyu and Liu Qing.

If something is abnormal, there must be a demon. Even Xie An understands this kind of truth, how can the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Li Xian, Liu Qing and others not understand?

As a result, the Jizhou army finally retreated into Jijing at the last moment, so that he Li Mao's bamboo basket was empty.

"Humph! Sure enough, it's still my so-called heroes in Da Zhou who are more difficult to deal with. It's much more difficult to deal with than those simple-minded reckless men on the grassland......" Looking at the city for a while, Li Mao exhaled viciously, and the expression on his face seemed to look a little better.

Seeing that Li Mao was obviously reluctant to say anything about the Liaodong Expeditionary Force, Zhang Qi and Le Xu naturally didn't want to say anything more, glanced at each other, and didn't ask any more questions, and changed the topic and asked, "Your Highness, what should I do now?" ”

Li Mao pondered for a moment. Suddenly turned his head and shouted into the distance. "Yodo. Come, come to the king! ”

In the distance, the general of Northern Xinjiang could see Youdou and ran over with his war horse. Clench your fists.

"Your Highness!"

"Hmm!" Nodding, Li Mao raised his hand and pointed at the group of wolf cavalry who were unruly in their manners. He lowered his voice and said, "This king doesn't know the grassland language very well, and you can tell them later, as long as they can capture Jijing and annihilate the Jizhou army in the city, this king will hand over any city in my Great Zhou to them for three days......"

Before the words fell, Zhang Qi and Le Xu gasped in shock.

"Your Highness!" It was hard to hide the horror in his heart, Zhang Qi's eyes widened, and he said with a look of disbelief, "Your Highness, no! This kind of thing...... This is a must-have! ”

Thinking about how Zhang Qi, the general of Northern Xinjiang, changed his complexion so much, it is no wonder, after all, the implication of Li Mao's words, handing over a heavy city of Great Zhou to those thugs of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force for three days, this is undoubtedly acquiescing to the fact that those thugs can kill, burn and loot in the city during those three days, although this method can only be used to stimulate the morale and fighting spirit of those thugs, but this kind of thing, but any upright Dazhou people, can not tolerate it.

Not to mention that Zhang Qi and Le Xu were shocked and anxious, making their faces red, even Youdou, who was born in the grassland, showed a look of surprise, and couldn't imagine that Li Mao would say such a thing.

And at this moment, he saw Li Mao glancing at Zhang Qi, who was anxious, frowning and saying lightly, "What's the hurry?" Do you think the Jizhou Army is a soft persimmon that can be kneaded at will? Besides, in addition to the Jizhou army, there are still southern and northern armies in the city, how can they be captured so easily? If it is really so easy, you and I, who can't capture this city for a few months, won't we live in the world without a word, leading ourselves to kill ourselves? ”

"Huh?" Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then seemed to understand something, and suddenly realized that he lowered his voice and said, "What does Your Highness mean...... Driving the tiger and devouring the wolf? ”

"Humph! Not too stupid! ”

Although they were scolded by Li Mao, the anxious looks on the faces of Zhang Qi and Le Xu calmed down, wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads, and Le Xu said with a smile, "I see, I see...... Your Highness is wise! However, the expeditionary force is also cavalry, which may not be conducive to the siege of the city......"

"You're worried about them now?" Glancing at Le Xu, Li Mao said coldly, "It's better to die those people than to kill my Yuyang Iron Rider, right?" ”

Zhang Qi and Le Xu nodded knowingly, and beside them, You Dou glanced lightly at the Liaodong Expeditionary Sergeant under the capital of Jijing in the distance, and his expression was calm and calm.

Also, although they are also from the grassland, this does not mean that Youdou will care about them, after all, there is no shortage of roommates on the grassland. What's more, he Youdou is now the second-in-command big man in Northern Xinjiang, how can he care about the life and death of those people.

"Understood! Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will try his best to arouse the fighting spirit of those people and pave the way for my northern Xinjiang! Hugging his fists, Youdou said categorically.

"Hmm!" Li Mao nodded, and then, after glancing at the head of Jijing City, he said regretfully, "Although it's a pity, but today can only end here...... Today's Jijing is just a lonely city, helpless on all sides, not afraid of those people escaping! - Go, withdraw the troops, and leave the matter here to the group of thugs in your mouth! ”

"Yes!" With a smile on their faces, Youdou, Zhang Qi, and Le Xu hugged their fists in response.

For the last time, he looked up at Jijing, the royal capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, and looked coldly at the defenders of Jijing who were vulgarly provoked by the Liaodong Expeditionary Army, and their faces were full of anger but they did not dare to go out of the city to fight. Li Mao snorted coldly, and finally turned his horse and retreated.

As soon as Li Mao retreated, the 50,000-strong army in Northern Xinjiang also slowly retreated, leaving only the Liaodong Expeditionary Army, an army as cruel as a wolf and as vicious as a tiger. There was no formation to speak of surrounding Jijing, and from time to time provoking the defenders in the city in the most vulgar way.

The withdrawal of Li Mao, the king of Yan, and the army of Northern Xinjiang made Li Shou, the son of heaven at the head of the capital of Ji, breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Liang Qiu Gong and Lu Gong, these two famous generals who are no longer brave in the past, stood aside and talked in a low voice, their expressions were not optimistic.

"What exactly does Li Mao want to do?"

Beichi Hou Wenqin frowned and looked in the direction of the retreat of the Northern Xinjiang army, looking at the group of vulgar foreign cavalry under the city with a complicated expression.

Beside him, Li Shou, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, took a deep breath and said with a little smile, "No matter what he wants to do, this Jijing is still in our hands after all......"

"Huh!" Hear that. Wen Qin smiled slightly. Just about to speak. He only felt a figure pass in front of him, and subconsciously drew his sword out of its sheath, looking solemnly at the pawn who appeared on the battlement at some point.

"Who is Your Excellency?" Faintly protected Li Shou. Wen Qin shouted in a deep voice, just finished speaking. Suddenly, he noticed the thin iron rope wrapped around the man's waist, and the scythe that was on his back at one end of the rope.

"Huh?" Looking at the familiar weapon, Wen Qin was stunned, and asked tentatively, "Mo ...... Captain? ”

It turned out that the figure who plundered the head of the city was the prefect of the Beizhen Fu Division, Sidu Wei Mofei.

It's just that Mo Fei is not wrapped in black and covered with black cloth this time, and Wen Qin has never seen Mo Fei's true face, so he is hostile.

Nodding to Wen Qin as a courtesy, Mo Fei knocked on one knee towards Li Shou, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Weichen Mo Fei, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”

Li Shou had long been surprised by the haunting of this secret agent of Beizhen Fusi, but Li Shou was taken aback by Mo Fei's unmasked face this time.

You must know that the people in the Jijing circle, who doesn't know that Beizhen Fusi Si Du Wei Mofei has a hidden illness in his heart, and he is not used to showing his true face.

"Uh, Mo Fei, ah......" patted Wen Qin on the shoulder lightly, asking him to step aside, Li Shou stepped forward and helped Mo Fei up, looked at his handsome and indifferent face and said dryly, "Mo Fei, I've known you for three or four years, and I'm still seeing your true face in Lushan for the first time, right?" Dress up like this, you're ......"

Obviously, Li Shou also knew that Mo Fei's strength would be greatly reduced without a black cloth mask.

may have guessed what Li Shou was thinking, Mo Fei said respectfully, "Back to Your Majesty, in the battle of Jiangling, Weichen's heart disease has disappeared, and there is no need to mask his face with a black cloth!" ”

"Oh, I see, I see...... looked Mo Fei up and down a few times, to be honest, Li Shou was very curious about how Mo Fei could have changed so much, but at the moment, he didn't have time to ask, and couldn't help asking, "What about the kid?" Didn't you enter the city, why didn't you come to see me? ”

A slight smile appeared on Mo Fei's indifferent face, thinking about the kid in Li Shou's mouth, I'm afraid it was only Xie An, after thinking about it, he said respectfully, "Back to Your Majesty, Your Excellency and the Eight Sages King have only entered the city, think about it, Your Majesty will be able to see ...... in a while."

Mo Fei was talking here, and it happened that Xie An and Li Xian were walking slowly on the other side of the city.

Seeing this, Li Shou couldn't hide his excitement, walked forward quickly, and called out in his mouth, "Xie An! ”

"Huh?" Over there, Xie An was talking with Li Xian about the Liaodong Expeditionary Force while walking, and when they heard this call, the two of them turned their heads suddenly, only to find that Li Shou was leading a large group of people towards them.

"Minister Li Xian, knock on Your Majesty!"

"Minister Xie An, knock to see Your Majesty!"

Xie An and Li Xian were about to give a salute, and Li Shou walked a few steps over there, holding them one by one.

"Brother Eight Emperor has worked hard all the way here!"

As if sensing the change in Li Xian's momentum, Li Xian smiled slightly, took a step back, bowed down and said, "Don't dare!" As a descendant of the Li family, the minister should share his worries for His Majesty and do his best for my Great Zhou Society! ”

"Brother Eight Emperor Gao Feng Liang Festival, he is really a humble gentleman and a model for the world!"

said a few high-sounding polite words, and praised Li Xian fiercely, and Li Shou turned his gaze to Xie An.

Coldly, Li Shou, who was the Son of Heaven, raised his hand violently and retreated on Xie An's chest, who was caught off guard and couldn't help but take two steps back.

[Your Majesty, what's the matter?] Lord Xie is the hero of this time, what did he push him for no reason? ]

The soldiers in the city looked at each other, and at this moment, Xie An's actions made their faces even more frightened.

I saw that after Xie An glanced at Li Shou in astonishment, he suddenly seemed to understand something, and even raised his right hand and pushed Li Shou.

"Hiss......"

Seeing that Li Shou, the Son of Heaven, and his own lord Xie An, you push me, I push you, Fei Guo, Ma Dan, Liao Li and others who had just landed at the head of the city gasped in shock, and their faces turned a little pale.

However, at this time, Li Shou laughed and grabbed Xie An's arms with both hands, and looked at his best friend who had not seen him for more than a year with excitement.

Everyone in the city was silent, Rao is Fei Guo, Ma Dan, Liao Li and other generals who knew Li Shou and Xie An's friendship also looked at each other this time, and secretly said in their hearts, Lord Xie is worthy of being the most popular powerful minister in front of His Majesty, look at this treatment......

At the same time, on the city wall not far away, Liu Qing glanced at the farce between the monarchs and ministers in the distance, and once again fell on the Liaodong Expeditionary Force outside the city, and beside her, the eldest grandson Xiangyu also held his son Mo Mo and watched the foreign cavalry under the city.

"Those vulgar foreign cavalry, is that what kind of Yan King depends?"

"For the time being, giggle......"
