Bai Qi asked: "Do you want to drive the warship over, take these 50,000 people out, and then drive upstream to join Li Yousheng and fight head-on?" ”

Xia Ye shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "It's probably okay to fight head-on, but I don't know how many people will die?" Moreover, the people of Nanjing are immediately a nation, and if they lose their war horses, how much of their combat effectiveness can be left? ”

It seems that the head-on hard fight will not work,.

So after figuring out these strategies, she pointed to the map and told Bai Qi and others the results of the analysis, "If it is over the Qilian Mountain, copied from the back of the Li Kingdom, and cooperated with Li Yousheng, it would be great!" Li Guo has always regarded Qilian Mountain and Qujiang River as a natural protective barrier, Qujiang has never stationed soldiers and horses there, and there will be no soldiers and horses on this side of Qilian Mountain. As long as you find a way to bypass Qilian Mountain and deal a heavy blow to the back of Li Guo, then Li Guo will be in hand. ”

Bai Qi and the others were excited when they heard this, and they only felt that their palace master was a real god-like existence, he knew everything, and he also knew how to fight! The strategy is not only flawless, but also very feasible.

Xia Ye also admires his IQ very much, and feels that he is simply a genius.

She quickly made a decision: let Lao Du take a group of people to exploit oil overnight, store enough oil resources for those warships, and then drive the ships to the upper reaches of the Qujiang River to find Li Yousheng, and obey Li Yousheng's arrangements and commands. At the same time, she also wrote a letter to Li Yousheng, hoping that Li Yousheng would protect her people from the slightest war.

Mo Shang has not yet made **, so he said that he would stay and wait for the ** to come out before going out. Natsuba agreed.

And Xia Ye himself went to Nanjing with Bai Qi and two boatloads of supplies. She needs to use these materials in exchange for Nanjing's friendship, borrow troops and borrow roads, climb over Qilian Mountain, and sneak attack the Li State.

The big ship that could accommodate 500 people was left to Lao Du to take to find Li Yousheng. Xia Ye and the others only took two small boats, and the light boat still walked downstream, and they only walked for about ten days to reach Qilian Mountain.

The Qilian Mountains are endless, and the place where the Nanjing people live is also endless, almost a prairie, on which many tents are set up like yurts, and a lot of cattle, sheep and horses are free-range at will, grazing leisurely everywhere. The blue sky and white clouds, the herding horses, and the fairy mountains are simply the places where the gods live.

Even Natsuba felt drunk.

Such a beautiful place, just because of the inconvenient transportation, is forcibly isolated from the world, which is really the cruelty of nature.

Just when Xia Ye sighed about nature, a wave of wind broke off on the grassland. A large herd of cattle, sheep and horses ran one after another, as if they were being chased by something, and ran wildly.

Xia Ye was startled, and hurriedly asked Bai Qi, "What's the situation?" She was afraid that the Nanjing people would think it was a foreign invasion, and she was struggling with combat power to beat them.

Bai Qi was very calm, and said with a smile: "Palace master, don't be nervous, this is Nanjing's way of welcoming us." ”

Xia Ye said "oh", and said in his heart that the way Nanjing welcomes people is too much, could it be that it has been closed for too long, so he is so excited to see strangers visiting, right?

As he was thinking about it, the speed of the large group of horses gradually slowed down, and Xia Ye roughly estimated that there were about two hundred horses, and all of them were young men with strong physiques, and they were dressed like Xiaoqu's people, but the color of their clothes was black. He was wearing straw sandals on his feet, carrying a horsewhip in his hand, and his hair was tied back at the back of his head, looking neat.

The leader was a very athletic young man with a slight beard on his face.

He rode a very rare red rabbit horse with about two hundred strong men, and surrounded Xia Ye and Bai Qi.

Bai Qi pointed at the man and said to Xia Ye: "Palace master, he is the monarch of Nanjing, Lian Dynasty." ”

Lian Chao's face was not very good, and the horse whip pointed at Bai Qi and said, "Lord Bai Qi, why did you bring an outsider here, what do you want to do?" ”

Bai Qian stepped forward and said to Lian Chao: "King Lian Dynasty, this is the palace master of our Xiaoqu, we have something to discuss with the monarch of Lian Dynasty, please dismount for a while." ”

As soon as Bai Qi said this, Lian Chao's face was a little better, and he got off the horse and walked over, his eagle-like sharp eyes looking back and forth on Xia Ye's body. Xia Ye stood up straight, she wore men's clothes back today, dressed like the man in the ditch, white long clothes and trousers, a pair of cowhide boots on her feet, and a thick headscarf tied to her head.

However, her appearance, compared with the tall and stout Lian Chao, is a little too girly. So Xia Ye saw undisguised disdain in Lian Chao's eyes.

Xia Ye sighed in his heart, feeling that this was very unfavorable. If the leader does not have the momentum of a leader and is looked down upon by the other side, the negotiation will become very passive.

Sure enough, after Lian Chao finished looking at Xia Ye, he let out a hearty laugh, and this laughter was more of a taste of contempt.

He pointed at Xia Ye and said, "This man is more motherly than a woman, are you sure you can be the lord of Xiaoqu?" You Xiaoqu don't have anyone, right? Looking for such a product? ”

Xia Ye smiled: "I'm not the lord of Xiaoqu, I'm the palace master of the Cloud Palace, and the Xiaoqu is just a part of our Cloud Palace." ”

She had to reveal the identity of Cloud Palace. Otherwise, she would be too passive.

But Lian Chao didn't know what the ghost was in the Cloud Palace, and showed a very confused look: "Where is the Cloud Palace?" ”

Xia Ye raised his forehead, thought about it, and began to say seriously: "Cloud Palace is a very mysterious place, the entire continent has our Cloud Palace's contact points, and there are Cloud Palace's industries all over the country, and the wealth of Cloud Palace is comparable to that of the country." ”

Lian Chao looked at Bai Qi. Bai Qian had made many transactions with them, but he still trusted Bai Qi more.

Bai Qian nodded: "I promise." What the palace master said was true. Up and down the canal, the head of the cloud palace is the head. If the Lian Dynasty monarch looks down on our Cloud Palace, then he won't make a deal with our Xiaoqu in the future. ”

If you can't make any more deals with Xiaoqu, it will be a big loss.

After all, Xiaoqu is rich in products, but they can see it. The clothes they are wearing now are those of the cattle and sheep and the people of Xiaoqu.

So Lian Chao put away his contemptuous expression and asked solemnly: "So what does the palace master want to talk to us about when he comes in person?" ”

Xia Ye said straight to the point: "Come and borrow something from you." ”

"What's that?"

"People, and roads."

That's a strange thing. The first time I've heard of it. Lian Chao showed a very interested look.

Xia Ye said: "You can also see the supplies on the two ships behind us! It's all for you. These are free gifts, regardless of whether you end up with us or not, these things are yours. ”
