On the 19th, the snow stopped, but the sun was still not visible.

In the backyard of Xiping Mansion, Lin Muyu accompanied Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, Chu Yao, and Feng Jixing to eat the big pot of rice of the Linghuo Division, a bowl of vegetable soup, plus two meat patties, and this kind of meat patty is just broken meat foam, mixed with vegetable leaves, the taste is indescribably strange, but it is already good to use it to satisfy the stomach in the case of lack of food.

Eating the last bite of the meatloaf, Lin Muyu looked at the sky outside and said, "It's been seven or eight days, why hasn't Ding Xi come back yet, can't it be detained......?"

Feng Jixing said: "Who knows......"

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Wei Qiu said excitedly: "General Ding Xi is back!"

"Please come in. ”

"Yes!"

In the front hall, Ding Xi came with a helmet in his arms, with a smile written on his face.

"See Your Highness, see Lin Shuai!" he saluted on one knee.

"Calm down, General Ding Xi. Qin Yin said with a smile.

"It seems that Ding Shuai has completed the task!" Lin Muyu said with a smile.

"The subordinates have fulfilled their mission, and the pirates of the southern archipelago have agreed to send troops, but ...... They have one condition. ”

"Oh, on what terms?"

Ding Xi hesitated for a few seconds and said: "They will attack in ten days and attack the seaport of Lieshan Province, but they will not attack Qianshan City, but after we capture Qianshan City, we will give them this famous city, and we will hand them over 100,000 catties of gold one after another, otherwise this transaction will not be able to continue." ”

"What a greed!" said the wind.

"That's right, pirates are greedy. Ding Xi smiled brightly: "And if I guess correctly, once this group of pirates gets Qianshan City, they will loot on a large scale, rob money and rob women, return to the sea with money and women, and continue to go to the islands to live like their emperors. ”

"A thief is a thief. Feng Jixing smiled and said, "Ah Yu, do you want to agree to their conditions?"

"Promise, why not agree, as long as they agree to attack from the west coast, at least they can contain part of Long Xi's forces. ”

"What about Thousand Mountains City, do you want to give them to them?"

"Give, you must give, Great Qin Empire, do what you say. Lin Muyu had a joke in his eyes.

Tang Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Mu Mu, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?"

"It's not selling medicine, it's just that this group of pirates wants it, so it's good to satisfy them, it's a deal anyway. Lin Muyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Ding Shuai, how many people are there in total, how many boats?"

Ding Xi groaned: "As far as I know, the pirate group on the islands has about more than 3,000 ships, how many people...... The total number is more than 100,000, and they have been harassing the coastal villages of the Blackstone Empire and the Tianji Empire, and in recent years, they have often harassed the two major provinces of Lingkong and Lingdong in our country. ”

Lin Muyu's left hand gently rubbed the hilt of the Xuanyuan Sword at his waist, and he was silent.

"Mu Mu, what do you want?" asked Tang Xiaoxi.

Feng Jixing smiled faintly: "He has already made a killing move." ”

"Oh?"

"Every time Ah Yu rubs the hilt of his sword, it means that he has to make a decision that ordinary people dare not make, right?" Feng Jixing asked with a smile.

Lin Muyu couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Feng, you are really observant...... That's right, I want to take the opportunity to destroy this group of pirates, and this group of scum has no benevolence at all, we pretend to agree to their conditions, let them enter Qianshan City, and then ambush two elite soldiers to cut off their back road, block this group of pirates in Qianshan City and exterminate them, and those who are willing to surrender will be killed on the spot, anyway, sooner or later, the mountain provinces will be our territory, so we should destroy these pirates for the people in advance. ”

"I'm in favor of killing multiple birds with one stone. Light Wind nodded.

Qin Yinli smiled lightly: "I also agree." ”

"Then it's decided. Lin Muyu thought for a while and said: "Keep the original plan unchanged, about the time of attacking the Lieshan Province, the pirates will also launch an attack on the harbor, and the west and north will attack together, let's see how this dragon seal can resist!"

"Hmm!"

......

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the New Year has arrived.

On January 2, heavy snow fell.

In half a month, Sikong Yao issued the convening order of Tianji Sect, and thousands of people had already accumulated in Xiping City, and the convening order of Bai Ze's mercenaries had already been issued, and the Bai Ze mercenaries who were in an endless stream from all sides gathered together, and with the strong appeal of Sikong Yao and Liu Buyi, they actually recalled nearly 100,000 people in half a month, which also means that Lin Muyu has as many as 250,000 troops at his disposal this time!

In the early morning, the war drums sounded, and the 250,000 troops marched from Xiping City in an endless stream to Lieshan Province, Lin Muyu personally ordered the generals who accompanied the battle, Qianfeng, Wei Qiu, Xu Jiantao, Qin Yong, Qin Yan, Sikong Yao, and Liu Buyi were among them, and Feng Jixing, Xiang Yu, and Chen Xiaoli stayed to guard Xiping City.

Feng Jixing's literary talent and martial arts are among the few in the world, and it is also reassuring for him to guard Xiping City.

Fortunately, the snow has stopped for nearly half a month, and the snow on the ground has already melted, and it is not so difficult to transport the magic crystal cannon and other baggage, and Sikong Yao and Liu Buyi have already built a solid official road when they are sitting in Xiping City, and it is not difficult to go to Lieshan Province along the way.

......

Three days later, the army arrived at Beiguan in the province of Lieshan.

The march was tired, Lin Muyu ordered the three armies to camp ten miles outside the pass, and began to attack at dawn the next day.

At dusk, the light of the oil lamps swayed in the cold wind, and outside the tent was the whining north wind, and the weather was bitterly cold, and everyone shivered with cold.

A huge map was spread out on the large table of the handsome tent, and on the map, Beiguan was marked red.

Wei Qiu held the hilt of his sword and said: "Beiguan is the only place for Xishan Province to go to Lieshan Province, and it is also one of the important military towns, the pass is very strong, up to twenty meters, it is said that Long Xi sent the general Liu Liang to guard the North Pass, and there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and it is two hundred miles south of Beiguan is Qianshan City, and the cavalry can be reinforced in half a day, once we start to attack Beiguan, it means that the army of Long Xi officially began to fight." ”

"Will Long Xi send the main force to Beiguan?" Lin Muyu asked.

Wei Qiu smiled: "Originally, it was very possible, but now it is impossible, since this morning, more than 100,000 pirates on the islands have begun to attack the seaport of Lieshan Province, Long Xi is too busy to take care of himself, how can he send the main force to Beiguan." ”

"I don't think so. ”

Lin Muyu said lightly: "Didn't you smell anything?"

"Smell?" Wei Qiu and Xu Jiantao were shocked together.

Qianfeng smiled: "I have the same hunch as the marshal, something will definitely happen tonight." ”

"Are they...... Will attack the camp?"

Lin Muyu nodded: "That's right, after we came, Beiguan was quiet, and we couldn't even see a sentry, which can only show that they know that we will come, and they are also ready, if I am the other party's guard, I will also take advantage of the great opportunity of our army to attack the camp tonight." ”

"However, the troops in Beiguan are only 100,000!"

"He who makes good use of soldiers will be good at using strangeness. ”

Lin Muyu frowned and said: "No matter, order the three armies to strengthen their vigilance and defend their revenge, you lead 20,000 gentian battalion iron cavalry to ambush in the jungle on the right side of the camp, Situ Sen, you order the artillery battalion to prepare all the magic crystal cannons, aim at the front of the camp and prepare for bombing, shallow wind, send an order to the armor demon battalion, once the enemy army attacks, the armor demon acts as the first line of defense." ”

"Yes!"

Everyone clasped their fists together, and then took Lin Muyu's arrow.

......

After a while, Lin Muyu glanced up at Ding Xi and said, "The military report brought back by our dragoon, how come it seems that the pirates don't have much movement, and they are quiet. ”

"Rest assured, marshal, there will be movement. ”

"Ding Shuai is sure that these pirates will not be rebelled? After all, they only accept money. ”

"No, it won't. Ding Xi smiled faintly: "The subordinates have already signed the paper of the covenant, no matter what price anyone offers, our army is willing to pay three times!"

"Will they believe you?"

"Yes, when the subordinates told them that they were willing to triple the bid, they looked very distressed, just like selling their daughter-in-law. ”

“......”

Lin Muyu grinned, speechless.

......

At the same time, in the harbor west of Thousand Mountains City, a cavalry regiment of the Black Rock Legion arrived in the harbor, and the ocean was densely packed with pirate warships.

Zhou Ziyang, dressed as a scribe, entered the council hall in the harbor, and the other party was a group of pirates with eight-character beards, all of them fierce and vicious, if it weren't for the generals of the Black Rock Legion behind Zhou Ziyang, I am afraid that he would have lost completely in momentum.

"It was decided. ”

Zhou Ziyang pushed the document forward and said, "As long as your league is willing to flank the Qin army from the sea, I am willing to offer 50,000 superb beauties, plus 300,000 catties of gold and one million horses of cloud brocade." ”

"The military advisor is really generous, so sincere, we can't cooperate anymore!" The pirate leader squinted his eyes, took the document signed by Zhou Ziyang into his arms, and said: "Although the military advisor can go back and restore his life, we will land early tomorrow morning and cover the Qin army from the side." ”

"No, it's too late tomorrow morning, I want you to kill it overnight!"

"Huh?"

"What, can't you?"

"Okay, okay, how can it not work?" the pirate leader smiled slightly: "Then a word is a certainty!"

"Good!"

Zhou Ziyang walked out of the council hall and immediately said to the generals on both sides: "Release the Yushu and tell Lord Long Xi that the plan has been completed, launch an attack immediately, and slam the Qin army with the strength of the whole army, this is our only chance, otherwise, we will not be the elite opponent of the Qin army in a protracted war, we must fight fast and slow, and kill Lin Muyu by surprise!"

"Yes, Strategist!"

Zhou Ziyang looked at the snow curtain outside with cold eyes, tightened the strap of his cloak, turned over and said, "Let's go, rush to the Beiguan battlefield overnight, and now ...... There should have been a fight over there. ”
