Because the speed at which the Xu family's private soldiers defeated the vanguard army of the Li clan in the northwest was too fast, and they still surrounded and annihilated all the 5,000 cavalry, and did not let anyone go.

Yes.

The information obtained by the head of the Li family in the northwest is not particularly accurate, and it is only when the peripheral intelligence officers of the Li family in the northwest observe that the vanguard army did not escape, and later see the Xu army in Beizhou cleaning up the battlefield, so they roughly came to a conclusion:

The vanguard army of the Li clan in the northwest has been defeated by the Xu clan, with all the dead and wounded, and the rest of the people are estimated to have all become prisoners.

Although it is still unclear about the specific situation of the battle between the two sides, judging from the results alone, the combat effectiveness of the Xu clan in Beizhou can already make the Li family master jealous.

You must know that the army he sent to his son Li Nian was not a second-rate army, but the strongest army in the Li clan in the northwest:

"Cavalry!"

Even if the Li clan in the northwest is rich, but the cavalry is not as precious as the infantry, the Li clan smashed the pot and sold iron, skillfully grabbed and plundered, and after years of accumulation, this has accumulated tens of thousands of cavalry.

He let Li Nian take half of it away at once, and it can be seen that the head of the Li family takes care of Li Nian, and he really wants to give him a chance so that he can make some contributions.

If Li Nian was lucky enough to get Ping'an City in his hands, when the time came, he would definitely be able to brush his sense of existence in front of the high-level leaders of the Li clan in the northwest, and in that case, Li Nian would be closer to the position of the heir of the Li clan in the northwest.

Although Li Nian is the best young man of the Li generation today, he is not without opponents and competitors.

Yes.

Li Nian also needs the opportunity to make some contributions and show himself fiercely.

The head of the Li family did not hesitate to use his power to give Li Nian 5,000 cavalry, in the expectation of the head of the Li family, as long as Li Nian grasped the 5,000 elite cavalry, even if he did not take Ping'an City, he would not encounter any danger.

After all.

In this vast northwestern land, the mobility of the cavalry is too strong, and it is really necessary to encounter some unexpectedly powerful opponents, even if they can't beat it, they can always run away.

He also knew the information, and knew that this time the Xu family in Beizhou sent tens of thousands of troops, and almost pressed all the family resources, but he was very courageous.

But.

Even so, Li Nian's army of the Xu clan in Shangbeizhou, with the five thousand and five cavalry in his hands, should be able to get out smoothly, but the reality is that the five thousand troops of the Li clan in the northwest were completely wiped out, and until now they don't know the battle loss ratio of this vanguard army, and they don't know the specific details of the battle between the two sides.

In this way, although the head of the Li family is angry, although he wants to take revenge very much, his fear of the Xu family in Beizhou has also reached the extreme, and now, he is quite in a dilemma, and he doesn't know what to do.

If the Beizhou Xu clan really has a very strong strength, then although the army of the Li clan in the northwest is also considered elite, it is really not the opponent of the Xu clan compared to the other party.

Moreover, these tens of thousands of troops are the foundation accumulated by the Li clan in the northwest over the years, and now the chaos in this northwest land has just begun, and now they are in a hurry to take revenge, and it is not rational to choose to fight with the Xu clan in Beizhou.

If you really want to fight, whether you win or lose, the strength of the Li clan will inevitably be lost, in this case, the Northwest Li clan is in this world of great controversy, I am afraid it will be difficult to have the last laugh.

As the saying goes: the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

If the strength of the Li clan in the northwest is weak, it is likely to be eaten by some other wealthy families in the future, which is not impossible.

……

……

At this time, an elder of the Li clan in the northwest stood up, his eyes were calm, his voice was cold, he arched his hand slightly at the head of the Li family, and immediately said:

"The head of the family, the Beizhou Xu family is really hateful.

"They actually sent troops to swallow our five thousand cavalry in the northwest for no reason, this is five thousand cavalry! How many cavalry do we have in total, so we simply let the Xu family kill them, the Xu family does this, it really doesn't take our northwest Li family in the eyes, retaliate, we must retaliate! ”

He looked around, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and said loudly:

"Since this Beizhou Xu clan is so brutal and dares to provoke the tiger whiskers of our northwest Li clan, I think that this Beizhou Xu clan is no longer necessary, I suggest that we immediately speed up and rush to Ping'an City, and have a battle with the Beizhou Xu clan to destroy the Beizhou Xu clan with one blow, only in this way can we wash away the shame that the Xu clan brought to our northwest Li clan.

"What's more, the whole army of five thousand Erlang has been wiped out, this look, it must be retributed!"

In the eyes of this elder, the Beizhou Xu clan was just a wealthy clan in a state before this, and compared with the Li clan in the northwest, it was simply a world of difference, and it was not a level of power at all.

However, the rise of the Xu clan in Beizhou is quite fast, since the beginning, the Xu clan not only quickly occupied the land of a state, but also did not know what method was used, but actually annexed the original Northwest Frontier Army, and its power has become stronger and stronger.

Now, the Xu clan no longer takes the Northwest Li clan in their eyes, and they actually wiped out their 5,000 cavalry of the Northwest Li clan for no reason.

In the elder's view, this was a complete provocation and simply unforgivable.

Moreover, the five thousand cavalry led this time also included the best young man of the Li family in the northwest and the most powerful contender for the heir of the Li family in the northwest in the future:

Li Nian.

Now that Li Nian is defeated, and even now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, this is a huge loss.

And the reason for all this is all Beizhou Xu's.

This elder has lived in the glory of the Northwest Li Clan all his life, and he will never allow anyone to tarnish the majesty of the Northwest Li Clan like this.

Yes, once you encounter this kind of thing.

The first reaction is revenge.

Immediately asked the head of the Li family to send troops to eliminate the Xu clan in Beizhou, in the heart of this Li elder, their Li clan is the most powerful force in this northwest land, and the Great Qi court at this moment, without the support of the northwest border army in this northwest land, can only be regarded as a paper tiger, which looks deterrent.

But.

With a single stab, it can be killed.

Although, he had already received information that the Beizhou Xu clan had indeed annexed the Northwest Frontier Army.

But.

According to this elder's own thoughts, the Northwest Frontier Army is so strong, and if the Beizhou Xu clan wants to successfully annex the Northwest Frontier Army, there must have been a big battle between the two sides.

Even if the Beizhou Xu clan wins, it is a miserable victory.

Therefore, although the strength of the two is fused together, it is estimated that there is no one in ten, which is not a big threat.

……

……

However, as the elder's words fell, another elder of the Northwest Li clan immediately stood up and spoke out against it, his voice rumbling and unexpectedly loud:

"Family Master, don't do that battle of wills at this time, you bear the fate of tens of thousands of people of our Li clan in the northwest, so don't act rashly!

"Now, the five thousand cavalry of our northwest Li clan are surrounded and annihilated by the other party, and the specific details are not clear to us, and there is no way to judge the specific strength of the Xu clan in Beizhou, but in any case, the other party should not be easy to deal with. I think we should be more conservative, temporarily gather the army in the nearby city, and after figuring out the situation according to the temporary defense of the fortified city, we will decide to advance and retreat......

"What do you think?"

In this elder's opinion, no matter what you say now, their Li clan's five thousand elite cavalry were indeed killed by the Beizhou Xu clan, no matter what method the Beizhou Xu clan used to achieve victory, but no matter what method was used, it could show the difficulty of the Beizhou Xu clan.

This is definitely a great enemy.

Yes.

Similar to the previous elder who wanted to directly send a large army to Ping'an City to fight to the death with the Xu clan in Beizhou, this approach, in his opinion, was completely a battle of will, very unwise, and it was simply a lonely throw of the Li clan's fortune in the northwest.

If Gu Shu wins, it is okay, the Li family can take the opportunity to clean up the situation and march forward, if it fails, the Northwest Li family will even be destroyed because of this.

You must know that this dispatch of troops, because it is related to the future of the Li family in the northwest, many descendants of the Li family in the northwest, as well as the children of the wealthy families who have a close relationship with the Li family, have followed and served.

If the action really fails, then in the blink of an eye, there is a danger of the destruction of the family.

Therefore, any action they take must be carefully considered, and they must first consider defeat and then win.

In any case, it is necessary to leave a way back for the family.

……

……

Moreover, it is too unwise to choose to go head-to-head with the Xu family of Beizhou at this time and fight it out.

You must know that although the northwest land at this time is already on fire, compared with the hinterland of the Central Plains, the chaos has just begun, and there are still many ambitious and capable wealthy families who are waiting, dormant, and waiting for the opportunity.

These people did not show their heads.

The Xu clan in Beizhou and the Li clan in the northwest rebelled relatively early, and they also wanted to gain a first-mover advantage.

If you have a hard fight with the Beizhou Xu clan at this time, it will be too unwise, and now the two most powerful rebel leaders in the northwest land are the Beizhou Xu clan and their northwest Li clan, although the two are competitors, there are still many important places in the northwest for the two families to seize.

At present, the two sides have not yet reached the point of dividing their fundamental interests, and there is really no need to cause violent friction and deplete each other's strength.

Moreover, judging from the strength displayed by the Xu clan in Beizhou at this time, the Li clan is probably not the opponent of the Xu clan, if the other party uses some kind of trick to swallow the five thousand elite cavalry of the Li clan in the northwest, although this is also difficult, but after all, it is not the hard power of the Xu clan in Beizhou, but the Li clan in the northwest can be careful and vigilant, and they are confident that the other party will maneuver.

But.

If the Beizhou Xu clan relied on their hard power to defeat their five thousand elite cavalry of the Northwest Li clan at once, then the strength of the Beizhou Xu clan would far exceed that of the Northwest Li clan.

If this is really the case, they in the northwest Li clan still want to find revenge for the Beizhou Xu clan, then it is purely looking for death, once they are defeated by the Beizhou Xu clan and tens of thousands of troops collapse, then, what their northwest Li clan is facing is probably the disaster of extermination.

The Li family in the northwest has been inherited for hundreds of years, and I am afraid that it will be wiped out because of this.

Therefore, instead of choosing to take risks, it is better to take a step back now, choose to wait and see, and wait for more information about the Xu clan in Beizhou to be dug up before considering.

If the strength of the Beizhou Xu clan is really very strong, which is consistent with the information they obtained before, then it means that the Beizhou Xu clan is really the overlord of this northwest land, even if their northwest Li clan still has the ambition to occupy the northwest land, but in the face of the Beizhou Xu clan, they have to retreat and obey.

They will even choose to attach.

Just like when their Li family chose to take refuge in the original Emperor Taizu of the Great Qi Empire, although in the end they could not get what they wanted, divided the territory and obtained the prince, but they could also ensure that the Li family in the northwest could inherit it and continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.

……

……

Dadada!

Dada!

Just when everyone was still discussing and there was no result, a soldier rode a big horse and quickly rushed into the camp of the Li army, jumped off his horse, and reported to them:

"Report to the head of the family, 30 miles ahead of the traces of the Xu clan in Beizhou, they are killing our side, and I hope the head of the family will make a decision as soon as possible."

Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come!!

Everyone didn't expect that before they could figure out how to deal with the Xu clan in Beizhou, they had already expressed their attitude and sent troops to crusade against them.

So, what exactly is the fight?

Or not to fight?

Everyone looked at each other, and after a fierce quarrel, the top management of the Northwest Li family finally made a decision:

They decided to follow the advice of the elder who came later.

Be conservative and go to the nearest city to guard first. According to Jian to do the defense, in this way, even if the strength of the Xu clan in Beizhou is strong, but if the Li clan in the northwest is only engaged in defensive warfare, Ken will have a more advantage.

In addition, the elder also took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the Xu clan in Beizhou to try to persuade the Xu clan to withdraw from the army.

If possible, he will also take the opportunity to find out the true strength of the Beizhou Xu family, whether it is really as powerful as the rumors.

……

……

Blue Water Off.

The junction of the Central Plains Dynasty and the Northwest Land.

Here, it is also a world hero!!

It can be said that one husband is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open.

Qin Shuisu led the army to the Blue Water City, and without saying a word, he immediately ordered the siege of the city.

Soon, there were shouts of killing.

However, to Qin Shuisu's great surprise, the elite fighting will of the officers and soldiers on this blue water pass was very resolute and did not waver in the slightest.

At this moment, the morale of the opponent's army is very high, and it is not under the Xu family soldiers led by Qin Shuisu at all, you must know that Qin Shuisu, with his own strength and the army in his hand, has already captured the three worldly Xiongguan.

And this fourth place, the Blue Water Pass, is his last target.

As long as you can master this blue water pass, it is equivalent to completely blocking the connection between the Central Plains Dynasty and the northwest land, even if the Central Plains Dynasty wants to pacify this northwest land in the future, with these four Xiongguan obstacles, even if it is hundreds of thousands of troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to enter.

Seeing that the opponent's resistance was very fierce, and the soldiers on his side suffered heavy losses, Qin Shuisu immediately clenched the hilt of his sword:

A sword slashed, and thousands of stars fell into it.

Suddenly, there was an infinite sword qi that flew densely towards the city wall, smashing like raindrops towards the soldiers above the Blue Water Pass, if it really fell, I am afraid that none of these soldiers would be able to resist, and they would be frozen through these raindrops.

But.

It was at this time.

A cold snort was clearly heard all around, and an old man with a white face and beard and dressed as a eunuch stood on top of the city.

I saw him open his arms, and immediately one after another fierce winds flowed up, blowing the raindrops into the air and disappearing.

Then, the old eunuch's gaze drooped, staring at Qin Shuisu with a very complicated look, and finally bent down slightly, performing an extremely complicated court etiquette, he said:

"Cao Eighteen, I've seen the horse master."
