Chapter 1567: Envoy to the White Lotus Country
Previously, in order to ensure the secrecy of his legion, Ye Li's military camp outside the city was only responsible for training ordinary soldiers.
Once the legion had been formed, the soldiers entered a hidden area in the eastern county called the Green Ravine to train them.
Now that the three legions have basically been fully formed, there are no other soldiers in the barracks outside the city except for the escort team responsible for defending the city.
Ye Li now has enough manpower, and it won't take much time to build a new camp, so he plans to directly move the military camp to the Green Ravine and expand it again, also for the sake of the other three legions in the future.
There are only 1,000 people on the side of the escort team, because there are few personnel, so they simply set aside an area directly under the city wall in the city to be used as a military camp, which is also convenient for these guards to maintain order in Dongfang City.
After Ding Si heard Ye Li's order, he was taken aback and said, "My lord, are you still trying to form a group of legions, our funds may not be enough." ”
Ye Li waved his hand and said, "This is His Majesty's order, and he is responsible for all the funds."
In this incident, the Tang State suffered heavy losses, the Zhenzhong army lost more than half of its personnel, the Xuanwu army completely defected, and the guards of more than a dozen cities declared rebellion.
In general, Tang needed to reorganize a new legion in order to defend against Li Rulin's attack.
Presumably you have also received the news that Li Rulin has occupied one-third of the country's territory and has the support of the Great Yuan Kingdom, and the battle between our two sides will not be completed in a short period of time......"
Next, Ye Li's original incident this time was very specific to his subordinates, although his subordinates learned a lot from other channels, but after all, they were all second-hand news, so naturally there was no detail that Ye Li said.
After clearly understanding the combat effectiveness of the cavalry regiment and the flying wing regiment, the faces of the high-ranking people under Ye Li all showed excited expressions.
They knew that the cavalry regiment and the flying wing regiment were very strong, but they never expected that they would be so strong, and even the Xuanwu army was not their opponent.
As for Li Rulin's matter, everyone didn't expect it at all, no one would have thought that this third prince, who was completely unnoticeable in the Tang Kingdom, would be the mastermind behind the scenes.
It seems that the Li family's cannibalism will continue to be performed, which is also very embarrassing.
After Ye Li explained all the miscellaneous matters to his subordinates, he informed them that he was about to send an envoy to the White Lotus Kingdom to seek an alliance, because judging from the current situation, Li Rushan and they should not be the opponents of Li Rulin and the Great Yuan Kingdom.
As for the departure time, it should be three days later, because they had to wait for Li Rushan's letter to be sent to the White Lotus Kingdom first.
According to the requirements of sending envoys between countries, the Tang court must first notify the White Lotus State, and after the consent of the White Lotus State, the envoys of the Tang State can pass, otherwise it will be an extremely rude situation.
Ye Li repaired in Dongfang County for three days, and a notice from Tang Jingcheng was quickly sent to Ye Li's side, informing them that they could leave for White Lotus, and the White Lotus Country also agreed to receive it.
The envoys came with the letters, and it was customary for them to carry some valuables as gifts, which was also a must.
There were not many members of the envoy group, and Li Rushan also tried to streamline the personnel as much as possible to facilitate Ye Li's control.
After meeting with the members of the envoy group, Ye Li and Huo Xing joined the team and drove quickly towards the White Lotus Country in a carriage.
Ye Li didn't ride the Wind Lin Beast, he didn't want to attract unnecessary attention in the White Lotus Country.
The place where the White Lotus Kingdom borders the Tang Kingdom is in the northeast of the Tang Kingdom, opposite the Great Yuan Kingdom.
And the White Lotus Kingdom is also bordering the Great Yuan Kingdom in the northern region of the Tang Kingdom, and the three countries are mutually reinforcing.
What happened in the Tang Kingdom could not escape the ears and eyes of the White Lotus Kingdom, and they were naturally very aware of the current situation.
Ye Li's movements were very fast, and after starting from Dongfang City, they went all the way north except for the border of the Tang Kingdom, and then entered the territory of the White Lotus Kingdom.
The White Lotus Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom are closely adjacent to each other, but the customs and customs between the two countries are very different.
The people of the White Lotus Kingdom like to wear loose robes, and ordinary people have a kind appearance, which is easy to make people feel good.
However, Huo Xing was very unimpressed by this, and said: "My lord, don't be deceived by the appearance of these guys, the people of the White Lotus Kingdom just seem to be kind on the surface, but in fact they are not as friendly as they imagined.
These guys like to tell you big things in front of you that make you think they are of noble character, but in reality they do things in private that are no different from what we do.
Because the appearance of these guys is too deceptive, people who don't know them will be deceived by them and suffer unknowingly. ”
Hearing Huo Xing's words, Ye Li couldn't help but think of the people of the Black Eye Continent, among the people who had crossed paths with him at the beginning, many of them were bright in their mouths, but they were also filthy in private, but they were somewhat similar to the people of the White Lotus Country in Huo Xing's mouth.
"I know Senior Huo, I will pay more attention to them in the future, and I will not be deceived by their appearance. ”
Ye Li smiled at Huo Xing and spoke.
..............................
In the northwest of the Tang Kingdom, in the city of Zhongyi, Li Rulin was sitting in the city guard mansion, and the city of Zhongyi at this time had temporarily become the existence of the Northern Tang Kingdom.
Li Rulin had no intention of building a palace here, in his opinion, Li Rushan's side would not last long, and he didn't need to rush to eliminate the other party at all.
As long as the rest of their Tianxia Alliance's actions came to a perfect end, Li Rushan, two-thirds of the country, would be taken away by him if he couldn't hold on for even ten days, so he didn't have to care too much about it at all.
"How is it, have you figured out the situation of the two corps!?"
Li Rulin asked the two subordinates.
The two subordinates were both in charge of intelligence collection in the Mengshan Society, and one of them said: "Young Master, the relevant information of these two corps is very small, and even Li Rushan's people don't know much about them.
Their appearance this time almost shocked everyone's eyes, and everyone didn't know about the existence of these two legions.
The only information we have found now is that these two legions are the private army of Ye Li, the lord of Dongfang County.
However, it is said that these two legions were ordered by Li Rushan to build them, and he also gave a lot of assistance, so we are not sure whether the real founder of these two legions is this Ye Li or Li Rushan himself. ”
