The tone of this Northern Elder's speech had already been imitated, and the number of soldiers gathered under the city at this time was as high as 50,000, so it was natural that there were many people. So much so that even if the voice deliberately imitated by this Northern Elder was very similar to Chen Jie's light and calm voice without any waves, the tens of thousands of Qi State soldiers under the city did not even hear a trace of old age in this voice. And this Northern Elder was also happy to see it, his face was imprinted under the torches that ran through the night sky, and there were no waves, but his heart was filled with a faint emotion and excitement.

Not far from Ruocheng to the west, there is a camp made up of cowhide tents that stretch for dozens of miles. This camp is where the 50,000-strong army is stationed. Today, all the 50,000 troops under the leadership of the three deputy generals were pretended to be the governor Chen Jie by the northern elders of the Ming clan, and used Chen Jie's white jade tiger talisman to mobilize this army to come to Ruocheng outside the city in the middle of the night. And the more than 100 black-clothed people who originally followed behind this Northern Elder were to carry out this plan today, and Elder Bei executed his most important step very smoothly, and he wanted to use such an opportunity to completely eliminate the biggest hidden danger of their Ming uprising. At the same time, Elder North also knew very well that this army was the elite army that Qi State focused on cultivating, and it must be loyal and loyal to Qi State. They asked themselves that the Ming people did not have the ability to incorporate this army under their command, so the only way to ensure safety was to completely wipe out this army.

Just as the 50,000 elite army slowly started and retreated to the camp at a loss, the Ming Clan North Elder and the Ming Clan people who had been waiting on the city tower clearly saw that there was a little bright fire flickering outside the empty camp in the distance. The firelight only existed for a short moment, and then disappeared again into the vast and dark sky. Instead, a red moon peeked out of the clouds. However, this short-lived star-like firelight was still clearly seen by the Ming Clan Northern Elder who was waiting on the upper floor of Ruocheng City. His heart could not help but rise with ecstatic excitement, and he knew that today's operation had basically succeeded.

Thinking of the life of enduring humiliation and suffering and humiliation over the past few years, this Northern Elder's vigorous face couldn't help but flash with a fierce light. His revenge plan, which he had been planning for so long, was finally able to carry out, and once this matter continued to be successful, then the day of their clan's revenge was not far off.

With the clear and clear red moon, the originally dark night gradually brightened again, but at this moment, a large flag with a flagpole rolled up and plain color was raised on the tower of Ruocheng City. This white flag replaced the lion flag with a blue background of the original Qi country. Instead, there is a plain banner with a huge "Ming" character written on it.

Watching the brand-new Ming flag rising, the Ming people who stood on the city tower and stared at the plain flag on the city behind them couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts, and some people shed tears of joy. This is their new flag, a symbol that has only recently been created, symbolizing the future of their Ming people, no longer a darkness of suffering and carnage. It's about to usher in a joyful light!

In fact, Elder Bei's mind is much more delicate than his own people, and he knows the truth of the tree. They are now revolting, and they seem to be in a good position, but in fact they are in danger inside. The next day, they designed to use flames to ignite the grain and grass piles and kill the 50,000 elite troops of the Qi State outside the city, which would inevitably cause the Qi State to retaliate fiercely. Now, after three years of rest and reconstruction, the Qi State already has nearly 200,000 elite troops. And even if their Ming clan now controls Ruocheng, but the number of troops at hand is still very short, they are like this, don't mention entering Xuancheng, that is, the Qi State will send tens of thousands of troops to exterminate them, and they have to shrink into Ruocheng. This is the worst outcome that all the people of the Ming uprising do not want to see.

Elder North has experienced nearly sixty years of his life, and he is the only one who still maintains a calm response to these recent events and a calm and unhurried thought. He knew that the momentum did not have much effect, but would have the opposite effect. What they are about to face now is the possible encirclement and suppression of the Qi army, and only finding their back road in advance is the top priority now. And this back road, Elder North chose to be the sworn enemy of the Qi State, to seal the country.

Elder North was very old-fashioned, and he also understood that the feudal kingdom was not a reliable ally. It's just that Elder Bei can think of how to get the greatest benefit from the feudal country, which is to burn the national power of the Qi country through them, which is like a candle on the fire, and then they will choose to use troops to attack the Qi country. At that time, I am afraid that the Qi country will not be able to escape the catastrophe, even if it is them of the Ming people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the killing.

It was for this reason that the Northern Elder finally chose a strategic policy of temporarily holding on to Ruocheng and not moving his troops north, but waiting for an opportunity to go south to capture the city. Now that the defenders of Huicheng are less than 10,000, he can also use Chen Jie's governor to transfer troops to this army again before the news is out, and capture Huicheng without much effort. Huicheng is an important supply of salt and iron in Qi State, and once it is taken, it is not difficult to rely on these two cities and more than 100 county towns under its jurisdiction to garrison this foundation. Then wait and see how the situation changes, once the feudal state is about to destroy the Qi state, they will immediately send troops to Mengcheng to force the feudal state to retreat; and once the Qi state defeats the feudal state, they can go north to Jincheng to prevent the Qi state from expanding the victory, and they can take this opportunity to send troops to capture the feudal city of Dream City. In this way, it is equivalent to saying that there is a three-legged situation.

Moreover, Elder North not only has such a plan and ambition, but he also holds a trump card in his hands. This trump card is the saintess of their Ming generation, and may also be the heir to the patriarch of the next generation.

Elder North personally, he didn't want to be the real master of the Ming clan, not only because he had always been the North Elder of the Ming clan, but once he became the leader of the group, there would inevitably be countless people who made irresponsible remarks. And this position of the Northern Elder pushed out the Holy Maiden of this generation as the leader of the Ming Clan. If the situation is unfavorable, he can still escape safely, and he does not need to set an example in front of his own people. This is the foresight of Elder Bei.

It's just that now this holy woman is not in the territory of Qi at this time, but in the territory of the feudal country, and this time this holy woman is actually the highlight of persuading the feudal country to send troops. Elder North knew in his heart that a large part of his current plans and strategies were actually the result of the young saint's planning. In addition to having respect for the original patriarch in his life, Elder North also had a trace of respect for this newly young saint. Although this holy woman is not very old, and she is still immature in dealing with people, Elder Bei is still convinced that this holy woman is a bright light that will guide their Ming clan to glory again. And he is a solid drag under this light. However, Elder North himself can actually be regarded as having an eye on it, even though he feels that he can pass on the current foundation of the Ming clan to this young and young girl in the future, he must ensure that he is safe enough, which is also convenient for him to at least have the space and strength to protect himself in the event of any chaos in the future.

Just as the Northern Elder was in a faint state of emotion, a man in black with a cloak covering his face quickly jumped from under the city tower and mounted a war horse under his crotch, and then galloped on foot. This cloak figure attracted the attention of the North Elder who was still on top of the city tower, but before he could ask, the man in black in the cloak had already rushed to the bottom of the city tower and shouted: "Elder, everything has been successful in our plan there, and now we can just wait for the 50,000 elite troops to return to the camp to catch them all."

Elder Bei's face showed a look of joy, and he couldn't help but secretly clench his fists, with a long expression of emotion on his face. His heart was extremely excited, and even the unscrupulous tone of this cloaked member of the Ming clan was not quite in line with their Ming clan's consistent low-key principles. However, Elder Bei, who was already extremely excited now, didn't want to realize that this slightly unusual thing was now in front of him.

Elder Bei smiled, a look of great joy had surged in his heart at this time, and he also realized that the man who was wearing a cloak and standing in front of him should be the subordinate of the young and gentle Ming Saintess whom he had only recently understood, and this man with a cloak on his head and a face that could not be seen clearly must have come to spy on him for this saint. It can be seen that Elder North also realized that this young girl who looked like she was only in her teens definitely did not look like an ordinary girl, and her scheming and resourcefulness were already deep.

Just as Elder North was deep in thought, the man standing in front of him who was wearing a cloak and couldn't see his face clearly, smiled deeply, and couldn't see his face clearly in the darkness. At this time, the man just felt that the Holy Maiden was really very intelligent, and he had already seen that the current Northern Elder was truly recommending the Holy Maiden as the next leader of the Ming Clan. Then he didn't need to worry about anything anymore, all he needed to do now was to obey the orders given to him by the Holy Maiden.

In fact, there is another thought in his heart, this saint is absolutely beautiful, although she is usually covered with a veil, she can't see her true face. But the man could feel the clear voice of the saint and the slightly rough but delicate jade hands, and even the empathy and ambition of the saint. All of them made this man admire and admire, this man usually didn't have much time to follow this holy woman, so he didn't have much opportunity to contact, this time the holy woman gave him this task, undoubtedly let him get a chance to favor the holy woman. How could this not make him ecstatic and flock to it?

Thinking of this, this man took a step forward, bowed and said, "Villain Li Shu, I have seen Elder Bei's strange plot to determine the villain of Qi Country, I really admire the five-body throwing to the ground."

Elder North smiled slightly and stroked his pale beard. At this time, he still took off the originally exquisitely crafted Chen Jie human skin mask on his face, revealing his original face. The Northern Elder also responded quietly, "The virtuous nephew is fortunate, it's rare to be happy today, so please go and drink two cups with the old man" (a good activity for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!Follow up ~ Dian/Chinese network public account (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter ddxiaoshuo), participate immediately!
