Chapter 93: Soldiers Coming to the Sword Cloud Battlefield!
"Hanchen, what happened?"
Xia Leiye spoke slowly.
Di Qing took a deep breath, his face pretended to be solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "General Hui, yesterday I had a personal soldier who returned to his hometown and province to return to the team, and he told him that when he passed by the Jianyun Military Field a few days ago, he found traces of military activities nearby, and he went to the Jianyun Military Field to investigate while he was curious. ”
As a result, before he approached the Jianyun Battlefield, he was shocked by the majestic killing aura of the army in the Battlefield, and he didn't dare to get any closer, so he hurriedly came back to say goodbye. And after I got the news, I also galloped to the Jianyun Battlefield in an attempt to find out the specific situation. ”
"After nearly two days of investigation, I found that there is indeed a large army in the Jianyun Battlefield, and the number of troops should be around 100,000!"
"There are still troops in the Jianyun Battlefield?" Xia Leiye was slightly stunned.
As the commander of the Eastern Legion, he had arranged for several deputy generals around him to keep an eye on, so he naturally knew about Di Qing's departure from the city yesterday.
But he didn't know that Di Qing actually went to explore the Jianyun Battlefield, and also determined that there was an army in the Jianyun Battlefield.
Coming back to his senses, Xia Lei Ye frowned tightly and asked, "Han Chen, are you sure that there are really 100,000 troops in the Sword Cloud Battlefield?" ”
"General Hui, it's true!"
Di Qing said in a deep voice: "I'm worried that there are powerful generals in the Sword Cloud Field, so I don't dare to get too close, but the killing spirit of the army in the Sword Cloud Field must be condensed by a hundred thousand troops!" ”
Xia Leiye's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said, "Since the general started recruiting troops, the Sword Cloud Battlefield has almost been completely abandoned, how can there be an army in it at this time?" Where did these armies come from? ”
"This ......" Di Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Xia Leiye didn't speak, just frowned.
After pondering for a while, he looked at Di Qing and asked, "Han Chen, what should you do with this army?" ”
Di Qing pretended to be pondering, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Although I don't know where this army came from, its appearance in the Sword Cloud Battlefield will naturally pose a threat to the eastern border. ”
"The last general believes that the eastern border is the general's territory, and such an army of unknown origin and uncontrolled existence must not be allowed, so the last general asks for orders and leads the army to the Jianyun military field, either destroy this army, or subdue them and let them be used by the general!"
Di Qing is advancing by retreating.
Because he knew that he already had nearly 40,000 troops in the Eastern Territory Legion, if he subdued the 100,000 troops in the Jianyun Battlefield at this time, then he would have 140,000 troops under his command.
At this scale, even against the entire Eastland Legion, it is powerful in a battle!
For Xia Leiye, who has always regarded the Eastern Territory Legion and the entire Eastern Territory as his Xia family's private property, this is absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, he took the initiative to propose it now, but it would make Xia Leiye worry that he would support his own army.
And this principle not only applies to himself, but also to other powerful generals of the Eastern Legion.
In order to avoid this situation, Xia Leiye's biggest possibility is to personally lead the army to the Jianyun Battlefield.
These were all things that he and Xun Yu had discussed outside the city a long time ago.
Sure enough, hearing Di Qing take the initiative to ask for his life, Xia Leiye's complexion changed slightly, and his eyes shrank even more.
He didn't want an adjutant general under his command to lead an army of more than 100,000 people.
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "At this time, the stakes are very high, and I will let the spies near the Jianyun Arsenal find out the exact situation first." ”
"Yes!"
Di Qing didn't say much, just took orders.
However, Xia Leiye did not let Di Qing leave, but asked him to wait in the hall with him, and at the same time asked people to call back the singing and dancing prostitutes who had just gone down, and while enjoying the singing and dancing, they were also waiting for the spies to return.
Di Qing didn't show anything unusual, and enjoyed the song and dance.
This made Xia Leiye, who had been secretly observing, nod secretly, he was still worried about whether Di Qing would be dissatisfied because he refused to take the initiative to ask him.
If he was really dissatisfied, it would mean that Di Qing was very interested in the 100,000 army in the Jianyun Battlefield, which made him have to be more vigilant against Di Qing, and even had to find a way to seize his military power.
Fortunately, Di Qing did not have any dissatisfaction, which made Xia Leiye trust him even more.
Half a day later, Xia Leiye's personal soldiers entered the hall with a handsome Shenxing Falcon.
Xia Leiye immediately asked the singing and dancing prostitutes to go down, and then quickly took the Shenxing Falcon, and checked the bamboo tube hanging on his legs, which contained a secret letter.
When he saw the content, Xia Leiye's face changed slightly, and he said coldly: "It seems that there are some guys in the eastern realm who are not so peaceful!" ”
In the secret letter, it was mentioned that the Jianyun Arsenal did have a majestic army to kill, and there were at least 100,000 troops.
However, because the spies were not strong enough to get too close, it was impossible to determine the exact number.
"General, what are you going to do?" Di Qing asked at the right time.
"Humph!"
Xia Leiye pretended to snort coldly and said, "I am going to personally lead the troops to see which one in the east dares to secretly garrison troops in the Jianyun Battlefield!" ”
He thought that the army of Jianyun Arsenal was a soldier in the east who was dissatisfied with his family, the Xia family.
"Order, Xia Bingyu immediately led Cangbai Tieqi to the gate of the city to wait for the general!" Xia Leiye ordered.
Di Qing was overjoyed when he heard this.
The Cangbai Iron Cavalry is the only iron cavalry of the Eastern Legion, with 20,000 elite cavalry, which is very strong.
But more importantly, on weekdays, Xia Leiye regards the Cangbai Iron Cavalry as his lifeblood, and on weekdays, he makes his absolute confidant Xia Bingyu the main general, responsible for daily training, and in wartime, Xia Leiye himself leads the position of the main general of the Cangbai Iron Cavalry.
In addition, several of the generals in it are also the backbone of the Xia family.
It can be said that the Cangbai Iron Cavalry is completely controlled by Xia Leiye, and it is impossible for anyone other than the Xia family to interfere in the slightest.
Xia Leiye led the Cangbai Iron Cavalry to set off, and the backbone of the Xia family would also set off, and as long as he killed all the Xia family people in the Jianyun Battlefield, there would be a lot fewer generals in the Eastern Territory who were 100% loyal to Xia Leiye.
For Di Qing, who wants to win the military power of the Eastern Legion in the future, it will be much less troublesome.
"By the way, Hanchen, you are with me in this battle." Xia Leiye commanded.
After all, the situation in the Jianyun Arsenal was discovered by Di Qing, and bringing Di Qing with him can also give him a credit and let Di Qing think about his own good.
Xia Leiye thought so.
Di Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, he originally wanted to follow secretly, but he didn't expect Xia Leiye to take the initiative to speak.
Then it was immediately ordered.
More than an hour later, Di Qing rode out of the west gate of Cangbai City with Cangbai Tie and headed to the Jianyun Battlefield.
After two days of rapid marching, the Cangbai Iron Cavalry finally arrived at a position ten miles outside the Jianyun Battlefield.
Xia Leiye ordered the army to rest in place and recover his strength, while he took Di Qing to find a high point to observe the direction of the Jianyun Battlefield.
It's just that Xia Leiye didn't notice it at all, and the depths of Di Qing's eyes behind him were already glowing with more and more intense killing intent!
