On October 16, the snow in the northern desert fell surprisingly heavily on this day.

At the same time, the armies of the five imperial courts also rushed to the edge of the Northern Desert one after another on this day.

Except for Zhao Wouji, the crown prince of Northern Yan, who led an army of 100,000 troops from southern Xinjiang into the Northern Desert, the remaining four major dynasties each sent only 80,000 troops.

It's not that they underestimate the enemy, but that the world is attacking the north, and the final result will never be a monopoly.

The alliance of the five dynasties was a foregone conclusion, and in such a situation, they did not need to send too many troops.

In addition, the terrain of the northern desert is far away, and it is difficult to supply grain and grass in time, so it is not appropriate to send a large army to the expedition.

In addition to the crown prince of Northern Yan, Zao Wou-ki, the Great Zhou and Dongji dynasties were still led by Qin Xianshi and Long Ye, while the two major dynasties of Southern Wei and Xiwu sent generals with high prestige in their respective dynasties.

Southern Wei Town, the general of the Great North, Xue Wuving, and the Marquis of Xiwu Ping'an, Xu Shi.

These people are all experienced in a hundred battles and powerful generals in the military world, and the fact that the four great dynasties can send these people shows the importance that the four great dynasties attach to the northern desert and their determination to win.

The five imperial armies did not move forward when they approached the northern desert, but chose to camp nearby, and the 420,000 troops stood side by side in five camps, and their formation was already daunting.

The night wind floated, and the torches lit in the barracks of the five imperial courts shone on the edge of the entire northern desert.

In the center of the five imperial courts, in the tent of Qin Xianshi, the marshal of the Great Zhou Dynasty, at this moment, Zhao Wouji, the prince of Northern Yan, Longye of Dongji, Xue Invincible of Southern Wei, Xu Shi, Marquis of Ping'an of Xiwu, and Liang Zheng, the king of Daduanliang, are all here.

And behind Liang Zheng, he was still followed by the little servant in Tsing Yi.

Sitting in the middle of the main seat, Ancestor Qin's face was a little older than when he was in Mocheng, and the majesty on his body was still undiminished.

The battle in southern Xinjiang was lost, Qin Xianshi was recalled to Kyoto for accountability, this expedition to the north, Qin Xianshi was unable to lead the army to go out, but in public and private, Qin Xianshi had to come.

Therefore, Qin Xianshi was able to enter the Northern Desert this time, which can be said to have paid a great price.

But Qin Xianshi and even the entire Qin family have no way to retreat, if Qin Xianshi loses again in this trip to the Northern Desert, then the Qin family will never be able to turn over.

Compared to Qin Xianshi's situation, even if Long Ye is not much better, it is definitely much easier than Qin Xianshi.

After all, Long Ye does not rely on his family background, no matter how he falls, relying on the support of Emperor Ji Tian behind him, coupled with the advantage of his age, there will always be a day to stand up.

It can be said that Tatsuno's failure, whether in the eyes of Emperor Ji Tian or Tatsuno himself, is a good thing.

The edge of the sword is sharpened, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and if you stand too high, you will fall to pieces, and you can walk more steadily with a boulder on your back.

"Presumably you have already guessed the intention of this marshal to invite everyone here, this time we all have a common goal, the army of the five major dynasties is 420,000 people, but those people outside the rivers and lakes, combined, the number of people should not be underestimated, in this case, if we still fight separately, I am afraid that in the end everyone will not get the results they want. ”

"We all know what Qin Shuai means, and I have no opinion on the matter of the Five Dynasties Alliance, and we have discussed it before coming here, so this time I will ask Qin Shuai to be the generalissimo of my Five Dynasties Alliance. ”

After Tatsuno finished speaking, the people in the tent all nodded lightly, and had no other opinions.

In terms of national strength and the qualifications of everyone present, I am afraid that no one can compete with Qin Xianshi for this position.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Qin Xianshi did not postpone it, but said: "Ben Shuai is old, and after this battle, it is time to remove his armor and return to old age. ”

Except for Xue Wuving, Xu Shi and Liang Zheng, who are over forty years old, the rest of the people in this account are only in their twenties;

Therefore, when Qin Xianshi said this, no one dared to say anything.

"Qin Shuai is old and strong, according to Wuji, you can fight for another thirty years. ”

"Haha...... Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's good words. ”

At this moment, there was a lot of laughter in the tent, and they talked happily, as if they had completely forgotten their previous grudges in southern Xinjiang.

For these people who live in the court, they value the immediate interests more.

For the sake of immediate interests, hypocritical politeness is just commonplace for them.

"However, we waited until I led the army into the Northern Desert this time, but a trouble in the Northern Desert had to be solved, otherwise we would only be afraid of interfering with our plans. After a while, Tatsuno spoke.

"The trouble in General Long's mouth must be talking about the thirteen-way ringing horse in the Northern Desert, right?" Xue Wushu said.

"Exactly!" said Tatsuno.

"The thirteenth road of the Northern Desert is known as a hundred thousand people, and it is indeed necessary to guard against it. Xu Shi also said at this time.

"The rivers and lakes and the court have always been incompatible, even if we intend to let it go, I am afraid that these horse bandits may not be able to appreciate it, and they will not be able to make trouble behind their backs when the time comes. Xue Invincible said.

"The rivers and lakes and the court are incompatible, but General Xue must not forget that there are more than 420,000 troops outside this northern desert. Xu Shidao.

"What does Hou Ye mean, to raze and raze, and let those people in the rivers and lakes deal with these horse bandits?" Xue Wushu said.

Xu Shidao: "Before arriving in the Northern Desert, Ben Hou had already heard that these people in the rivers and lakes had formed a Northern Alliance, and the leader of the alliance was Jin Yunliu, the new leader of the Fourteen Prefectures in Jiangzuo. “

"If it can be said that Jin Yunliu can use the Northern Alliance to solve the thirteen-way ringing horses, then there will be no trouble, and Dawei Fort will naturally become a turtle in the urn. “

"Report to the generalissimo, the leader of the fourteen states in Jiangzuo, Jin Yunliu asked to see him outside the camp. “

Just as Xue Wudi and the others were discussing, news came from outside the tent that Jin Yunliu wanted to see him.

When they heard Jin Yunliu asking to see him outside the camp, no one noticed that the eyes of the little servant in green clothes behind Liang Zheng flickered obviously.

The news of Jin Yunliu's arrival surprised the people in the big tent, and no one expected it to be such a coincidence.

As soon as he talked about Jin Yunliu, this Jin Yunliu was sent to the door by himself.

"Let him in. As the majestic voice of Qin Xianshi came out, about a third of the time after the pillar of incense, a young man came from outside the big tent under the leadership of a personal guard.

After introducing Jin Yunliu into the big tent, the guard withdrew.

Jin Yunliu's afterglow swept over everyone, and when he saw Liang Zheng and the little servant in Tsing Yi behind him, his eyes also moved obviously, and he seemed a little surprised.

Then Jin Yunliu saluted Qin Xianshi and said, "Jiangzuo Jin Yunliu has seen Marshal Qin. “

Then he bowed slightly to both sides, and then stood in place, looking neither humble nor arrogant, and not pretentious.

His posture is very impressive.
