Xu Ao silently held a cup of hot tea in one hand and swallowed it in small sips.

Sitting opposite were the people led by Le Niu, General Ma, Wu Warlock, Wang Bai, and Liu Kedi. Row them up one after the other.

The already small carriage was even more crowded.

It was supposed to be Xu Ao who went to see Le Niu, but Wu Warlock told Le Niu about the cold aura in Xu Ao's body. Le Niu also deigned to take a few people and squeezed into the carriage where Xu Ao was.

Warlock Wu put down his hand to diagnose the pulse and muttered for a moment: "The cold in Xu Gongzi's body will be eliminated in two or three days, but it will be much earlier than Wu expected." ”

"I'm tired of Lord Wu. Le Niu hammered his stiff legs. I can't remember how long it had been since I sat cross-legged like this, and for a moment, my body was still a little unaccustomed.

"Lord Wu, being drenched in the blood of the wild gods, will there be any bad conditions in the future?" is a matter of life, although the Cocktail Daoist claims to be able to resolve it, but after all, his life is his own, and it doesn't hurt to ask more clearly.

Although Wu Warlock's technique is not very strong, he is born to be dual-minded, so he has read a lot more books than others, and after thinking about it for a while, he thought of the answer to the question: "It was not for nothing that I was drenched in the blood of the wild god before." In ancient times, the ancestors often rushed to other tribes to sacrifice their ancestors, and took the opportunity to kill and injure the ancestors of other tribes. However, the so-called ancestral gods at that time did not have much power. Therefore, they are often slaughtered together with the tribes. There are also many people who are naturally drenched in blood. Most of those with weak constitution died on the spot. Those with strong physique can absorb some of the essence in the blood and harmonize with their own yang energy. Since then, it is not for nothing that there has been a leap forward in practice. As for the bad things, I haven't heard of them. If there was really such a thing as killing the ancestral god and cursing him, the ancient ancestors would not have attacked each other so frequently and destroyed the other party's ancestral tablet."

In this way, Xu Ao can be completely relieved. There is already the breath of another world, if you are stained with the blood of this wild god, what kind of ghost and demon breath. I can't pass the days, I'm afraid that there will be masters and apprentices from the Three Immortal Mountains at both ends in three days.

"Since Xu Gongzi is fine, let's start talking about business. Le Niu raised his voice slightly, signaling everyone's attention: "Last night, General Qin recommended you to me, and asked me to work together with you to protect the smooth return of the Yan and Qin armies to Guzhu City, and then plan the Northern Expedition." General Ma was in charge of the dispatch of the Qin army. The three of you, plus the middle reaches of the river, are responsible for assisting me and handling the military situation. If the middle reaches of the river are not there, the three of you will have to work harder. ”

"The last general obeys!"

Le Niu scratched his somewhat itchy back through his armor: "It will take more than a month to redeploy the army here." But the Beidi army didn't give us this opportunity. According to the current pace of chasing all the way and escaping, whether everyone can hold on to Lonely Bamboo City is two words. If Beidi sends another army to go around between us and Guzhu City, then more than 50,000 of us will basically be buried here. Therefore, the top priority is how to return to Guzhu City before the Beidi elite arrives to form an encirclement. ”

"My lord, I think it's a little inappropriate for us to go to Guzhu City!" Wang Bai interjected: "Beidi is so unhurriedly following and killing, either it is training troops or there is another conspiracy. Judging from the situation in the past few days, most of the men and horses on Beidi's expedition this time can fight well, and they are by no means comparable to the elites we have trained this time. Since it is not a military training, it is a plan. Last night, I discussed with Brother Liu for the night. I think the biggest possibility is that they want to use us to do something that they would have a hard time doing. For example, the attack on the lonely bamboo city. Lord Leniu must know that if it weren't for the defenders who took the initiative to rescue Jihou, the air defense in the city would not have been lost in a short period of time. If the entire Yanbei is not lost, Zhaohua City will not fall. I don't know if Lord Leniu has noticed, although there have been many Beidi attacks in the past few days, our real casualties are very few. It's just that everyone is sleepy and tired, and they don't have much combat effectiveness. If we arrive at the foot of the Lonely Bamboo City at this time, facing the open gate, I am afraid that few people will be able to insist on entering the city in the order of formation. The desire to survive is instinctive, and no one can avoid it. And once everyone starts to fight for survival, they will flock to the city gate. Beidi, who followed behind, only needed to kill the two armies of Qin and Yan who were in the way and had no fighting spirit all the way, and they could go all the way to Lonely Bamboo City. ”

"How can you be so sure that the other party is planning to follow us and use the defeated army to break through the gates of Guzhu City. ”

"Our reasons are as follows. First of all, we fought in Zhaohua City and lost a large number of war horses. Thinking of this, Wang Bai felt a little painful. The huge coercion of the wild gods made these well-trained war horses panic, and most of them fled for a while: "So in fact, according to our marching speed, it should be much slower than the Beidi army full of cavalry. Only one team attacked us at a time. The other often arrives not long after the previous one has retreated. The time was so accurate. It's hard to believe that they didn't do it on purpose. Secondly, except for the time when they were outside Zhaohua City, they really worked hard to kill the two armies of Qin and Yan, and later pursued and killed all the way, most of them rushed over, cutting a large number of people and horses, but rarely killed people, most of them were not light or serious injuries, and the impact on the action looked extremely miserable, but in fact, it was a skin injury that could be recovered in half a month. By doing so, I am afraid that it will further hit the self-confidence of the two armies, whether it is because of the loss of courage at that time, it is better to form a wave of defeated troops to rush away from Guzhu City, or to let the defenders who remain in Guzhu City see the tragic situation of such a big defeat of the army, so as to hit the momentum of the defenders. It's all good for them. So, I think we should abandon the idea of returning to Lonely Bamboo City. Let the gate of the defenders of Lone Bamboo City be closed, and hold Lone Bamboo City without loss. We take advantage of our natural familiarity with the terrain to go around with them. When the reinforcements of the Yan State arrive, they will try their best to recover the lost territory. Even according to Brother Liu's meaning, we still have a chance to turn over. ”

Le Niu's eyes lit up, and there was still a chance to turn over: "What is Liu Gongzi's opinion?"

Liu Kedi swallowed the tea in his mouth and stared at Le Niu's eyes: "Master Le, this plan is what I heard my father mention when I was a child, during the Shang Dynasty, I once conquered Beidi, and Beidi used it to deal with the Shang Dynasty army. In winter, the weather is dry and dry, and this area is grassland. The grass is overgrown, and it is a good time to set fires. If we send a few people, go around to the back of Beidi and set fire to the grassland. The northwest wind carried the fire and rushed towards the Beidi army. We will take the opportunity to counterattack. There may not be no chance of annihilating the enemy!"

Le Niu frowned: "Then how do we escape, you know, water and fire are ruthless, but we can't tell whether it's friend or foe." ”

Liu Kedi grinned: "Let's burn first!"
