Chapter 120 The Situation of the War
"Report! The barbarians captured Longtu City an hour ago, and Elder Tian and the three thousand outer disciples who were guarding Longtu were all killed!" A disciple outside the gate brought back the latest battle situation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes all fell on Xun Lie's body.
"Elder Xun, don't you want to give everyone an explanation?" Yuan Zhen looked at Xun Lie coldly and said coldly.
"Idiot!" Xun Lie glanced at Yuan Zhen, who was like a clown jumping off the beam, and said softly: "Didn't you say it in Xiashicai? Pingyang City is not a strategic place at all, now it is a cold winter, the Northern Wilderness is in the ice and snow, it is impossible for the barbarians to go south, it is impossible for them to divide their troops to attack Pingyang City, and their initial target is Longtu City, which is known as the granary of the Northland!" They first sent troops to feint to attack Pingyang City to attract our attention, and then they kept harassing Pingyang, tightly involving the Yang Deputy Alliance Leader and others, so that they could focus on defending the city and have no time to take care of other situations, so that they could lead a few elites to raid Longtu City!
"It's just your words, fundamentally..."Yuan Zhen listened to Xun Lie's analysis, and was about to refute it, but was interrupted by an angry reprimand.
"Go back!" said Lichen, whose face was gloomy, at his disciple.
"Master, I..." Seeing that his master's face was getting darker and darker, Yuan Zhen glared at Xun Lie viciously, and retreated in a gloomy manner.
"Elder Xun, the little man is offended by not choosing what to say, the old man apologizes to you here, and please don't take it to heart. Lichen looked at Xun Lie with a ashamed face.
Xun Lie shook his head, indicating that he didn't care about this matter, he looked at the disciple who reported the news: "This little brother, do you know who presided over the attack on Longtu City?"
The disciple didn't answer Xun Lie, but looked at Ouyang Jianxin on the main seat.
"If Elder Xun asks you, you can tell him. Ouyang Jianxin said in a deep voice.
The disciple nodded and told Xun Lie what he knew.
Northland, Longtu City, the former granary of Northland, has now fallen into the hands of barbarians, and the streets that used to be neat and tidy are now full of corpses and rivers of blood. Zuo Xian King Hu Yanlu sat on the throne of the city lord, holding the brocade in his hand, and carefully rubbing the blood-stained blade in his hand.
"King Qiqi Zuoxian, all the 50,000 southerners of Longtu City have been beheaded, please instruct!" a brute rider hurried over and knelt at Hu Yanqi's feet.
"Bury the corpse, and as for the head, if you like, keep it for collection. Hu Yanqi said casually.
"Yes!" the brute rode away.
"Brother Wang, look, your wish is about to come true, are you happy!" After the brute rode away, Hu Yanqi stroked the love knife in his hand and muttered to himself.
"You must be very happy, let's go, I'll take you to see the big rivers and mountains that belong to us!" Hu Yanqi put the knife back into its sheath, respectfully held the treasure knife in his hand, and walked out of the city lord's mansion.
Yuzhou City, the Sword Alliance Station, the Council Hall, Xun Lie listened to the sword disciple's report, and looked at Ouyang Jianxin: "Ouyang Alliance Master, I don't know how much you know about this barbaric Zuo Xian King?"
Ouyang Jianxin frowned: "The old man doesn't mean much to him, but the old man's little junior brother is quite familiar with this Zuo Xian King. ”
"Alas... Ouyang Alliance Leader, what are your plans next?" Xun Lie didn't get the answer he wanted, and then changed his question.
"I originally wanted to unite everyone's forces to forcibly repel the barbarians and recover the lost territory, but after listening to Elder Xun's analysis, the old man dispelled this idea again. Ouyang Jian Xin said.
Everyone's eyes fell on Xun Lie again, and at this time, one person proposed: "Elder Xun, your strategic vision is so sharp, why don't you be the military advisor of the alliance?"
"That's right, Elder Xun, with you as our military advisor, it won't take us much time to drive the barbarians out of our land. The crowd agreed with the proposal.
"Fellow martial artists laughed, Xun Lie just read a few more books, and there was not much real stock in his stomach. Xun Lie shirked.
"Elder Xun, the old man thinks that the proposal of your colleagues is good, so it is better for you to be the military advisor of the alliance. Ouyang Jian thought for a moment, and agreed to everyone's proposal.
"This..."Xun Lie hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will temporarily take the position of military advisor first, and when the family teacher is out of the customs, Xun will step down from this position and hand it over to the family teacher!"
"Okay, that's it!" Ouyang Jianxin saw Xun Lie's response, and immediately announced that Xun Lie had become the acting military advisor of the Barbarian Extermination Alliance.
Everyone saluted Xun Lie, except for Yuan Zhen, looking at Xun Lie with infinite scenery, Yuan Zhen couldn't wait to eat him alive.
"Strategist, what should we do next?" asked Ouyang Jianxin.
"Drag!" Xun Lie gave a word.
"Dragging?" Yan Zhenxiao, the master of the Golden Sword Gate, frowned, and he looked at Xun Lie: "Military Master, didn't you just say that the number of barbarian troops is not large, why don't we choose to attack and drive them out of the North in one go?"
Hearing this, Xun Lie asked softly, "Lord Yanmen, you just want to drive away the barbarians?"
"It's... I don't know what the military advisor has?" Yan Zhenxiao said.
"The barbarians have captured three important strategic cities in a short period of time, and they will certainly not send another army to capture other cities this winter. However, they will definitely send a small force to harass and disturb our army, we just need to strictly defend the city..."Xun Lie slowly expressed his opinion, but as soon as he said it, he was generally interrupted by someone speaking.
"Strategist, I don't agree with the view. If we do what you said, but in this way, we will soon fall into passivity? And when the spring of the next year begins, the barbarian army will drive straight in, won't we just sit back and wait for death?" Ouyang Jianxin frowned, and his burning eyes looked directly at Xun Lie.
"Oh! It turns out that it is really a straw bag, and the position of the military advisor has not yet been warmed, so it will be exposed, but this is fine, lest everyone be instructed by you and die under your 'clever plan'. Yuan Zhen sneered at Xun Lie.
A small group of people were instigated by Yuan Zhen, and their gaze at Xun Lie became a little suspicious.
"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" Shen Tuhong looked at Yuan Zhen coldly, he didn't have a good impression of this person who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Heh, where did I say nonsense, he told us to stay strict, didn't he let us sit and wait for death? When the snow melts in the spring of next year, and the barbarian army drives straight in, how can we resist?" Yuan Zhen asked Shen Tuhong rhetorically.
"Whoever bewitches the people, I..."
"Shen Tu, stand down!" Xun Lie rebuked Shen Tu Hong, and then he looked at everyone: "Don't worry, fellow Daoists, take Xun to finish his words first, and then everyone will judge whether Xun's strategy is feasible?"
Xun Lie's words fell, everyone nodded, and Xun Lie continued to complete the strategy he had not finished.
