Chapter 54: Set up a bureau for Elder Ye

Han Mengxi, the second elder of the outer gate.

But an elder who is too idle to be idle!

He should be with the Great Elder Ye Xitian on weekdays, he will do whatever Ye Xitian wants, he will do it, he has no opinion at all, let alone fighting, he has lived for more than a hundred years.

There has never been a war.

A hundred years ago, when the Northern Continent was in turmoil, he cultivated in the deep mountains and old forests.

Then the Beiyan Sect moved here, and he joined the Beiyan Sect, and then devoted himself to cultivation and didn't care about the world.

became an elder of the outer gate in such a daze, and even became bigger and bigger, his prestige became higher and higher, and he became a second elder inexplicably, maybe this is a fool with a fool's luck, right?

Now that he is leading this army of more than 400,000 people to retreat, it is really difficult.

His specific abilities are not clear, but he certainly will not lead troops to fight.

After all, a person who can lead troops to fight will not leave a large army alone and run away at such a juncture.

Morale plummeted!

Xiang Yu's iron cavalry chased after him, like a hungry tiger, and bit off the tens of thousands of people who were lagging behind at once, and chased after him for hundreds of miles, and then Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Originally, I wanted to chase it again.

But if you chase it again, you will have to go to Broken Jade City!

Broken Jade City is the first natural barrier to defend the imperial capital, surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only one road leading to the imperial capital, basically as long as it is guarded here, the threat from the direction of Luoshui can be greatly reduced.

It's a pity that it is now where the army of the Northern Yanzong is located.

Xiang Yu had to withdraw.

The capital of the Great Zou Emperor.

Emperor Wu stood on the head of the city under the setting sun, waiting for the good news of the two generals.

"Da Da Da!"

Xiang Yu and Guan Yu came together, walked in front of Emperor Wu, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general Xiang Yu (Guan Yu) to meet Your Majesty!" ”

"Two soldiers, please get up!"

Emperor Wu was still very happy to see them covered in blood.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guan Yu and Xiang Yu got up at the same time, and the two of them could only kneel down on one knee because they were wearing armor.

"How's this battle going?"

"Back to Your Majesty, a crushing victory!"

"Oh? How much did General Guan lose? ”

Guan Yu suddenly said a disastrous victory, which made Emperor Wu a little surprised, his understanding of Guan Yu was still in the last war, that is, the Battle of Luosong River, how brave was Guan Yu at that time?

How exciting is it when you pile up the landscape of human heads?

Now it is really not easy to pop out of his mouth the word miserable.

After all, Guan Yu is very arrogant, if he admits a miserable victory, it means that it is a real miserable victory.

"Your Majesty, the 20,000 horses under the command of the last general are currently gone!"

Guan Yu's eyes were red, and he was really angry at the battle loss ratio, 20,000 brothers who followed him, 20,000 fresh lives, but he didn't expect that it would be gone in a blink of an eye, and there were only two or three thousand people left.

More than 1,000 of them were seriously injured, and I am afraid that they will not be able to continue to serve as soldiers in the future.

"General Guan, I can understand your feelings! You've done a great job in this battle! It's really hard for you to rush and kill in the elite army of the Northern Yan Sect! Well, I grant you the right to recruit your own troops! ”

Emperor Wu thought for a moment.

This Guan Yu's soldiers are gone, so he can't draw some people from the newly recruited imperial army to him, right?

After all, he kept the newly recruited army as a reserve army, and it was the army that Emperor Wu was going to use to maintain law and order.

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as Guan Yu heard that the emperor had given him the right to recruit troops, he immediately knelt on the ground with excitement, and said to Emperor Wu again and again: "Your Majesty trusts the last general so much, the last general must repay the emperor's kindness!" ”

"That's it! All right! General Guan, there is a limit to the right I have given you to recruit troops! The upper limit is 100,000 people, and I will provide these 100,000 people's equipment, items, food and grass, etc.! You can train with peace of mind! ”

Emperor Wu waved his hand and pulled Guan Yu up from the ground.

Guan Yu, a stout man, was so moved that he didn't want to, and he had more respect for Emperor Wu.

And Xiang Yu, who had just come to this world, was also impressed by Emperor Wu's generous trust!

In my heart, I couldn't help but have a good impression of Emperor Wu.

"General Xiang, what about yours?"

Emperor Wu looked at him with a smile and found that he was still so serious, expressionless, solemn, as if he was thinking about something.

"Your Majesty, our army has suffered no heavy casualties, more than 1,000 dead and wounded, and 100,000 heads have been killed!"

Compared with Guan Yu, who suffered heavy losses, Xiang Yu's record is much better.

On the one hand, he is a heavy cavalry, and his own protection is good, which is simply a massacre for the vast majority of the infantry of the Northern Yan Sect.

On the other hand, Xiang Yu's troops entered later, and they only entered after Guan Yu had consumed most of the morale of the Northern Yanzong army, and a new force was killed, and it was generally difficult for tired people to resist.

"Good! General Xiang, this battle has played the prestige of my Dazou, so let's make you the queen general, lead 100,000 overlord iron cavalry, and defend both sides of the capital."

"The last general obeys!"

Xiang Yu arched his hand and took the order.

"Your Majesty, Guan Mou also went down first!"

Guan Yu made a gesture and took his leave.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun happened to disappear at the foot of the western mountain, and the earth returned to the embrace of night.

Emperor Wu moved.

Walked into the harem.

OK.

The harem has not experienced large-scale wars, the degree of destruction is not large, and everything remains the same as before he "died".

The lights are on.

The palace was empty.

On weekdays, the palace maids and eunuchs in it all fled for their lives because of the war, so there is a kind of desolation in this harem, which is even colder than the cold palace at the moment.

In Huaqing Pond, there is no hot water, let alone a flowing clear water source.

In the Changqiu Palace, the candle flame had just been lit by Emperor Wu.

He looked at the empty palace, and then he picked up a book on the case, and flipped through it casually, and felt a little tired, and when he was drowsy, suddenly a figure elongated in the candlelight, and flickered like a ghost.

"How's it going?"

Emperor Wu was not afraid, but said such an unclear sentence very indifferently.

"Ye Xitian doesn't fully believe in Mulan."

"Oh? I've been so cooperating with Mulan's acting, and that old man still doesn't believe her? Emperor Wu's brows furrowed, as if he was worried about something.

In fact, the core candidate for the development of the plan to close the door and fight the dog at the beginning was not the so-called Heavenly Elder Xia Mo, but the Outer Gate Great Elder Ye Xitian.

It's just that Xia Mo bumped into it by herself.

So as soon as Xia Mo's matter was over, all plans were back on track.

"You know, Elder Ye is inhumane, he is a eunuch, his heart is twisted, and he will naturally be more sensitive to the approach of women than ordinary men! Therefore, her trust in Mulan is still limited, and the military power has not been handed over to her. ”

"Hmmm! Your analysis makes some sense, my move is a bit stinky, I would have known to use Dian Wei! Emperor Wu was a little annoyed, he imagined Ye Xitian as a normal man.

After all, a beautiful woman saves a hero, and the hero must be grateful to the beauty, and no matter how bad it is, he will not have doubts.

But I never expected that this hero was a eunuch!

He forgot about that.

"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself, since things have been pushed like this, it's better to take one step at a time! Those nerds from the Northern Yan Sect would definitely not have thought that I was your person! Hey, hey, hey! ”

The shadow smiled, and then disappeared into the darkness.

Emperor Wu shook his head, he didn't worry about Hua Mulan's affairs now, he was only worried about whether Gao Shun could block the army of Beiyanzong and prevent them from retreating, as long as he blocked their retreat route.

Others, completely can be ground slowly.
