Tiger this time, only me and Long Xuhu, two Yuxu disciples, went out with Nangong Shi to Beili. The rest of the Yuxumen people like Jin Zha, Mu Zha, Yang Jian, Huang Tianhua, and Lei Zhenzi all stayed by Jiang Shang's side, which made me suddenly feel that the burden on my shoulders was heavy.

Along the way, we were so strong that we met almost no resistance. Within one day, it had penetrated a hundred miles into the country of Lebanon.

On the march, I asked Nangong Shi: "Marshal, how many soldiers and horses does Li Hou Gong have?" ”

Nangong Shi replied: "According to the report, there are about 150,000 or 60,000 horses in total!" ”

"So much!" I said, "Then we only have 80,000 soldiers!" And the labor is far away. ”

Nangong Shi smiled: "Isn't there a princess and a dragon beard general?" Each of you will share forty thousand soldiers and horses for me. ”

"What?" I also smiled, "Even if I release all the magic weapons at the same time, I won't be able to fight against so many people!" It would be fine if there were a few more Jade Void disciples. Besides, doesn't Li Gong have a powerful Inhuman under him? ”

Nangong Shi replied: "Li Guo originally had four different people, Deng Zhong, Xin Huan, Zhang Jie, and Tao Rong. All four of them have been killed by our army with Wen Zhong. Now, according to the information we have obtained, there are no people of this level in the territory of the country. ”

"Marshal," I asked again, "it is said that most of the troops under Wen Zhong's command were brought from the state of Li. We have already knocked out 100,000, how can he still have 150,000? How does Lai Gong have so many troops? ”

Nangong Shi replied: "Seventy percent of the army under Wen Zhong's jurisdiction are indeed Li people. After several battles at Huashan, the Yellow River, and Juelongling, most of them fled, but most of them fled back to the Li State. We've got that part into account. Therefore, although Li Gong has many soldiers and horses, his combat effectiveness is not necessarily strong. And we have allies. ”

"Allies? Who is it? I asked.

"You'll know when the time comes." Nangong Shi smiled mysteriously, "The reason why Prime Minister Jiang Cheng did not personally lead the army to fight Li is precisely because Li is far away from Zhou Yuan. The prime minister was worried about the emptiness of Guanzhong, so he didn't dare to follow up with all his might. And he led the army to garrison the area of Yu Rui, so he could respond to Li Guo and Zhou Yuan at any time. And you Yuxu disciples all have the ability to travel thousands of miles in a day. If there is a change in one side, it can be rushed to the aid in a few hours. What is there for the princess to worry about? ”

"That's right." I asked, "But Marshal, do you think Lai Gong will surrender like Misu-kun?" ”

"No!" Nangong Shi said with certainty, "Mi Xu has a relationship with Zhou, and Li has an enmity with Zhou." Just look at the fate of Chonghou Hu. But we have to give him a chance to surrender first. ”

Two days later, we marched to Zhangshui. This place is still 100 miles away from Licheng. Tens of thousands of Lebanese troops are already on the other side.

Nangong Shi asked me: "Princess, is there a person with high mana on the other side?" ”

I replied, "Not within twenty miles of my spiritual consciousness." ”

Nangong Shi looked at me, "Then the princess and the dragon beard tiger general will open a gap on the opposite bank for us to cover our army crossing the river." ”

"Well, Marshal." I know the dragon and the tiger. I pedaled the Hot Wheels and went straight to the opposite shore first, and the dragon and tiger took a flat boat behind.

When the defenders on the other side saw this, they immediately bent their bows and fired arrows, which rained down on me. But now, whether it's my skin or my suit, I'm not afraid of where the arrows will go. So I didn't think about this at all, and rushed straight into the enemy line, stabbing two generals to death in succession with a fiery spear. At the same time, the Qiankun Circle, Chaotian Aya, Gold Bricks, Dragon Balls, and Dragon Tendons were released, knocking over hundreds of enemy soldiers near the riverbank.

Immediately afterwards, I saw large and small stones flying out of the dragon's beard and tiger's hands, smashing into more enemy troops. In a matter of moments, only corpses remained on a stretch of beachhead hundreds of feet, and the living had fled.

At this time, thousands of the Zhou army had crossed the Zhangshui River and met the Li army in short combat. I continued to rush back and forth with the dragon beard tiger. Two hours later, the Zhou army all crossed the Zhangshui. And the Lebanese army was completely defeated.

The next day, we attacked under the city of Li and set up camp. I saw that the four gates of Licheng were closed, and the suspension bridge was hanging high.

"Marshal," I asked Nangong Shi, "shall we attack the city at once?" ”

"There's no hurry." He replied, "Let us first shoot the letter of surrender into the city and give him a three-day deadline." At the same time, our allies have not yet arrived. Since we have a covenant with others, it is natural for us to keep it. ”

Even though I didn't take action, I still had to go to the city to investigate.

I didn't wear my thigh-exposing suit directly, but changed into the armor of an ordinary general, rode a war horse, and went around the city. In the spiritual sense, he basically explored the entire Li City inside and out. The first is to determine the location of the Lihou Mansion. The second is to investigate the inhumans in the city who are not very strong.

After a circle, I quickly determined the location of Lihou Mansion. And the strongest spiritual power light and shadow in the city happened to appear in the Lihou Mansion. But it didn't look like Li Hou, but like a young woman. Who is this man? Is it Li Hou's daughter?

The spiritual power of this light and shadow is actually not very strong. But that's just for me and the Dragonbeard. And for Nangong Shi and his generals, there are enough advantages.

In addition to this woman, there are several generals in the military camp in the city whose spiritual power is slightly higher.

When I returned to the Zhou camp, I gave Nangong Shi a map of the defense of Licheng and informed him of what I had discovered.

He pondered for a moment and said, "If that's all there is to it, then as soon as the Allies arrive, we will attack the city immediately." It should be taken soon. ”

"It's so close to Chaoge. Won't King Shou send troops to the rescue? I asked.

"No, it won't." Nangong Shi said, "If King Shou wanted to rescue, he would have come to the rescue as early as when Wen Zhong was trapped in Yu Rui, how could he wait until now." On the one hand, he is now in the quagmire of the Dongyi battlefield, how can he have the energy to take care of the Li State. ”

"Furthermore, Wen Zhong was originally from the Li clan, and he sat in the position of Taishi in the early years of the court. As a royal family, Li Hou relied on Wen Zhong's momentum in the court, and his affairs have always been high-profile. There has long been a disagreement with King Shou. ”

"Last year, as soon as Wen Zhong was reinstated, he summoned the army of the State of Li to detain my lord privately. Soon Wen Zhong was defeated all the way from Huashan to the Yellow River. King Shou was very angry, and even ignored Wen Zhong's request for help, and his attitude was naturally visible. Therefore, according to Ben Shuai's inference, as long as we are only Taihang Mountain, King Shou will not send troops. ”

I mentioned the stronger spiritual light and shadow in the Lihou Mansion again. Nangong Shiwen frowned, "According to the information I have obtained, Li Gong has five sons and three daughters, but there is no one with a higher spiritual power level among them. I'm afraid what you're looking out for is not the Li Hou family. Maybe it's a subordinate under Li Gong? ”

"It's not like that!" I said, "During the time I went around the city, that light and shadow had been in a separate courtyard in the house, and it looked like I should have lived there." ”

"Where do you live?" Nangong Shi said, "Then it's not the Li clan, it's the descendants of the royal family." ”

While he was talking, someone came into the account and brought a silk book. Nangong Shi opened it and said casually: "It seems that your question has an answer!" There was a county lord who was a descendant of the king of Shang and was living in the Lihou Mansion. This person has a lot of power, it seems to be her! ”

"Who?" I asked.

Nangong Shi sighed, "This woman has a lot of connections with the princess!" After she and the princess's mother, the Lord of the Ten Counties, were both Wuyi, she and the princess were both students of the Chaoge Women's Branch, and they went to Beifusang to study together. Her name is Merlene. ”

"Merlin?" I was stunned, "Why is she here?" ”
