Su Li may be said to be the 'mastermind behind the scenes' of this great victory, with ten spirit gathering talismans, he let the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army see a Zhenbei general who can be reckless. But in any case, it was a big victory, and it can be said that it was captured innumerable.

Although the Zhenbei army paid more than 4,000 casualties, the Hu people left behind more than 50,000 corpses. Although it is not very conspicuous compared to their previous total of 500,000 people, the battle loss ratio of more than 1:10 between the Western Qin army and the Hu people is still shocking.

Although Song Rui was seriously injured, he could see that he was in a very good mood, because he definitely played a majestic battle in this battle, and if the war ended, he might be able to be promoted from the general of the four towns to the general of the four expeditions!

However, his wishful thinking did not come to fruition, because the Hu army, which should have suffered heavy losses and retreated to the grassland, actually suppressed Huima again! The 450,000 people who had reorganized their situation were still under pressure, and it seemed that their morale had not been lost because of the great defeat in the previous battle.

"What's the matter with these Hu people? Haven't they already lost?" In the warm handsome tent, Han Yan was a little trembling as she burned the brazier. Because she has been practicing internal and external kung fu and has suffered a lot of internal injuries before, she is now weak and very afraid of cold. And Su Li said while removing the stitches for Song Rui, who was sitting on the main seat: "Is there going to be a war again? It looks like many people will die this time." ”

The large number of dead people made Su Li's mood not very good, and he always felt that his heart was heavy and not very comfortable...... He is strange that he is not a man who cannot see the dead, and although he likes to help others, he will never be easily saddened by death on the battlefield...... He always felt that something was not right, and that the early winter was indeed too cold.

Song Rui didn't have so many suspicions, he just looked at the corner outside the tent, looked at the tent outside through the gap and said: "Daoist Xiao Su is right, there are still many people to die, and if they don't die, enough people will grab enough things, it seems that they won't leave." ”

"Why?" Han Yan was puzzled, although she grew up in the Northland, every time the Hu people raided, she always came and went like the wind, and she had never been like now, even if she suffered a big loss, she would not leave here.

"Because they have nowhere to go!" Song Rui said with a distant gaze: "Their camp tent was broken through by us once before, and the army was scattered, so that nearly half of the cattle and sheep they carried behind them fell into our hands. ”

"Now when they go back, not to mention that they have nothing to gain, and only half of the cattle and sheep are left, it means that the 450,000 Hu people here can only go back or half of them! They have been driven to a dead end. Either they will die in the war and half of them will die, or they will snatch enough supplies from us for the winter, and they will only have these two ways to go now. ”

It's really a cruel option, and no matter which option it is, it's so cruel for the people of Western Qin. Why do other people's pain have to be borne by the people of Xiqin?

It was the first time for Han Yan to think about and understand the invasion of the Hu people from such a high perspective, and she only felt extremely aggrieved for her hometown.

However, Su Li's reaction was very flat, and it was not difficult for him to understand these after awakening the wisdom of the world. He was more concerned about the others: "Have you found out the origins of those assassins?"

Speaking of this, Song Rui's face suddenly became solemn, if he couldn't pay attention to this, it would be in vain to be the general of Zhenbei.

He said: "There is no clue at all, this group of people seems to have appeared out of nowhere, and there is no trace of such a group of masters on the rivers and lakes." And it's certainly not sent by the Hu people, because if the Hu people had sent them, they would have launched a sneak attack as soon as there was chaos in my place. But they were obviously just as rushed as we were, and that's what gave us a chance to turn things around. ”

"A mysterious third party. Su Li summed up, then thought for a while and reminded Song Rui: "Then General Zhenbei, you have to raise your alert level, because your current safety is related to the safety of thousands of Li people in the entire Northland, once you have a problem, the Zhenbei Army will inevitably collapse, and can you imagine what the scene of these Hu people wreaking havoc in the Northland for a winter is like?"

"I understand, that's a loss of life!" Song Rui said with a solemn expression. In fact, this point did not need to be reminded by Su Li, but Su Li's reminder made his position clear, which was especially important after Su Li showed his talisman ability.

However, just when they reached a consensus with a heavy heart, the voice of the old Taoist priest suddenly came from outside the tent: "Your worries are very necessary, so this time the poor Dao can't sit idly by." ”

"Master!(Master!)" Han Yan and Su Li hurriedly saluted, and then Su Li asked a little embarrassed: "Master, why did you get out of the customs?"

But Gu Yizi said angrily: "When I came out of retreat, I found that there was not even a person to protect the Dharma for me, can I retreat with peace of mind? And there are all the ghosts around here, you are not uncomfortable?"

"Ghostly?!" Su Li and Han Yan were both shocked.

Gu Yizi took out a talisman from his bosom, and then activated it instantly...... The next moment, everyone saw that there seemed to be a ghost crying in front of them, and many ghost-like black shadows were dispersed from the tent. In the next moment, the air in this tent seemed to become much clearer, and even the cold feeling on Han Yan's body was relieved a lot.

"This ...... These seem to be the ghosts of the assassins at that time?" Han Yan asked with some trembling. She's a girl after all, so she's afraid of these things.

Gu Yizi nodded heavily and said, "This is also the reason why I want to intervene in this war between secular forces, there is obviously a cult cultivator in this case!"

He led the people out of the camp tent to look around, and then pointed to the foot of the mountain where the great battle had taken place a few days ago and said: "Do you see the mist where the wind does not blow away......? Apparently someone has manipulated the surroundings and locked the souls of the dead in this area. ”

As Gu Yizi narrated, Su Li only felt that his knowledge had increased greatly, and then he immediately realized: "So those assassins are actually sent by those evil cultivators?"

"Eight or nine are not far from ten, just like our Sword Sect has an outer sect Heavenly Split Sword Sect, those assassins must also be the outer disciples of a certain evil sect. Then Gu Yizi's eyes also deepened.

He said coldly: "If Song Rui dies, the north will be ruined, and they can take advantage of the fact that the Hu people are raging in the south without touching the karma of cause and effect, and they can really make a good calculation! ”

"I must not let them succeed!" Song Rui's face changed greatly, obviously this was something that touched his bottom line.

"So here I am. The lonely son answered.
