    "Li Maodoes he still have a cavalry?"

    Finally, the whole army entered Jijing safely and safely. When Xie An climbed up the city tower, he couldn't help but ask the Eight Wise King Li Xian again. It was really hard for him to imagine that Yan King Li Mao had such an elite cavalry as the Yuyang cavalry.  There is actually another group of cavalry hidden away that is not known to the world.

    After hearing Xie An's inquiry, Li Xian sighed slightly. It could be seen that the Prime Minister's face was not very good-looking, as if he was troubled by something. After being silent for dozens of breaths, he sighed.  Say a noun in your mouth.

    "Liaodong Expeditionary Force!"

    "Huh?" When Leng Buding heard such a sentence, Xie An subconsciously froze, stopped and looked at Li Xian in surprise, and asked doubtfully, "What? What expeditionary force?"

    "Liaodong Expeditionary Force!" He repeated in a deep voice. The Eight Sage King Li Xian was not in a hurry to go to the section of the city wall where Emperor Li Shou of the Great Zhou Dynasty was. He stroked the wall stacks and looked at the Northern Xinjiang army that had not yet retreated under the city, and his  Holding a halberd and reining in his horse, he was looking at the city with an indifferent expression, his half-brother, King Yan Li Mao.

    Xie An was about to ask more questions when suddenly dust and sand rose in the northeast, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard constantly, getting closer and closer to them.

    Vaguely, Xie An seemed to hear several strange screams.

    ¡°Yohoo¡ª¡ª! Yohoo¡ª¡ª! Yohoo¡ª¡ª!¡±

    "Sure enough" After hearing the strange sound, the expression of the Eight Sage King Li Xian suddenly became solemn, and even a hint of anger flashed across his face, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "It's too much.  Come on, Li Mao!"

    "" Xie An looked at the Eight Wise King Li Xian in confusion. He could not understand why this usually gentle and gentle gentleman would change his expression because of an opponent's reinforcements. Until his eyes clearly saw the Northern Xinjiang army.  Reinforcement cavalry on the side.

    "Huh? This is" Even though Xie An's mentality has been tempered over the years, he still had a look of astonishment on his face this time, because he saw that the cavalry team coming from afar did not seem to be from Zhou Dynasty.  Soldiers and horses.

    To know.  All the armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty were basically uniformly made of military armor, with corresponding military flags. However, the weird cavalry team was good. Not to mention the messy flags, even the cavalry in the army were dressed in different colors.  They are different, some wear leather armor and some wear armor.  Some of them even had their bodies wrapped in coarse cloth. If it weren't for the fact that these people were sitting astride war horses, Xie An would have thought they were barbarians who ran out of nowhere and lacked education.

    Isn¡¯t it a lack of education? I saw those people galloping on their horses.  While waving all kinds of things, some were waving weapons, some were waving riding whips, and some were even shirtless and waving their shirts. Moreover, these people were shouting something unknown, hoo hoo hoo hoo.  It makes people feel irritable from the bottom of their hearts.

    [Foreign cavalry?  ]

    A thought suddenly came to Xie An's mind. He frowned and turned to look at Li Xian, waiting for his explanation.

    Seemingly noticing Xie An's strangeness, the Eight Sage King Li Xian took a long breath, then slowly relaxed his clenched fists, and said in a mournful voice, "Master Xie's guess is good. This foreign cavalry is what Xiao Wang just said.  It refers to the Liaodong Expeditionary Force, or also known asWolf Cavalry!"

    "Wolf Cavalry? Beirong Wolf Cavalry?!" Xie An was shocked when he heard this. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Xian with a look of disbelief.

    [These people are the Beirong Langqi that Wu'er fought hard with in Northern Hebei?  ]

    No wonder Xie An's expression suddenly changed, you know.  Thirteen years ago, the battle in northern Hebei was a national tragedy known to the whole country. That year, the leader of a large tribe on the grassland.  That is to say, the brother of Youdou, one of the five tigers under the command of King Li Mao of Yan, Gutuhachi, the wolf of the plains, gathered dozens of tribes on the grassland and formed a cavalry composed of one hundred thousand grassland men.  Like wolves and tigers, they marched south to raid the Zhou Dynasty. In just a few months, they destroyed the Yuyang Iron Cavalry formed and inherited by Liang Qiugong, the Tiger of Northern Xinjiang. They even captured the entire land of Youyan for a time. From then on, they directed their troops towards Hebei Province.  Beijing once brought the war to Boling, the gateway to the north of Jijing, where Xie An's wife Liang Qiuwu is now besieged.

    And this foreign invading cavalry from the grassland is called the Beirong Wolf Cavalry, or in other words, the Wolf Cavalry.

    It¡¯s not that these cavalry from the grassland are literally riding on terrible wolves. The reason why they are called so is because most of the wolf cavalry believe in wolves as their gods or ancestors, and they have ferocious personalities.  The place he passed was like a pack of wolves passing by, with no grass growing.

    Countless towns and villages were destroyed by them, and the men in the villages were killed, and the women were reduced to tools for venting their beastly desires, even worse than slaves.

    It is said that the Northern Rong wolf cavalry invaded the Zhou Dynasty and attacked the Zhou Dynasty.When the king of Zhou was in Boring, the gateway to the north of Jijing, each wolf cavalry even tied a woman captured from the land of Youyan in the Great Zhou Dynasty on his horse, so that he could use it to vent his beastly desires at night.

    At that time, millions of Youyan people were involved in the war, and even the Zhou court was frightened by this foreign cavalry and discussed moving the capital to avoid the sharpness of this cavalry.

    At that time, the army of Jijing was still under the control of the former crown prince Li Wei. Although Li Wei was nearly a weak man at that time, his courage and courage could not be compared with him later. Facing that wolf-like army  The prince was obviously timid because of the tiger's wolf cavalry.

    Even Li Wei, the later hero, was timid, let alone the two future heroes, the third prince Li Shen, who was already cautious, and the fifth prince Li Cheng, who was just the obedient younger brother of Crown Prince Li Wei at that time.  As a result, except for the Eight Sage King Li Xian who tried to replace his father Li Ji and go to Jiangnan to appease the people, the other princes all fell in favor of the conservatives who supported moving the capital.

    Of course, this does not include the current Emperor Li Shou of the Zhou Dynasty. After all, given Li Shou¡¯s identity and status back then, it seemed that he did not have the right to speak out about such national events.

    Having said that, in fact, as far as the military of the Great Zhou Dynasty was concerned, there was no need for the princes to come forward to turn the tide. After all, there were two famous generals in the court at that time, Liang Qiu Gong and Lu Gong, who were good at fighting. But the problem was,  After all, the Four Towns were not a real military system, and the highest position in the military at that time was General Wu Bang, who would later die at the hands of Liang Qiu Hao, the direct grandson of Liang Qiu Gong. Even this guy turned to the conservative side.  After sending, Liang Qiu Gong and Lu Gong naturally had nothing to say.  The most critical point is that Li Ji, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty at that time, did not say anything.

    Later, Liang Qiu Gong thought about it again and again and felt that Li Ji had no expression at that time.  He even showed various inclinations to move the capital, most likely to train the fourth son of the emperor Li Mao. After all, Li Mao was making a lot of noise in the court every day, and more than once volunteered to send troops north to stop Beirong.  Wolf Riding.

    In the end, Li Mao got his wish and won the mission of going north to crusade against the foreign troops.  Liang Qiu Gong, who realized the intention of Emperor Li Ji, resigned from the post of deputy commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army on the pretext of illness, recommended his granddaughter Liang Qiu Wu, and officially retired behind the scenes, handing over the Shenwu Camp of the Eastern Army to the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition.  's granddaughter.

    It has to be said that Liang Qiu Gong and Emperor Li Ji thought of it together, while Emperor Li Ji was cultivating Li Mao.  Liang Qiu Gong also regarded this battle as a training for Liang Qiu Wu, because Liang Qiu Wu was originally an amazing talent with extremely high martial arts talent, and more importantly, Liang Qiu Hao survived the catastrophe and returned to the Taiping Army.  Lurking in the south of the Yangtze River and never appearing in the world, Liangqiu Wu could be said to be the only heir and hope of the Liangqiu family. Duke Liangqiu hoped that she could shoulder the responsibility of inheriting and even prospering the Liangqiu family after going through many hardships.  Responsibilities and obligations.

    But it¡¯s a pity.  Although Li Mao and Liang Qiu Wu were good at military strategy and military planning at that time, they lacked experience. It is hard to imagine that these two future battlefield warriors would be helpless in front of a group of foreign wolf cavalry and suffered consecutive defeats.

    At this time, Li Xian, who was in the south of the Yangtze River, sent a letter to Li Mao and Liang Qiu Wu to ask for a wizard of the world, the eldest granddaughter of the Changsun family.  1. Xiangyu, the eldest grandson of Princess Zhen.

    Just as Changsun Xiangyu said to Xie An later.  This prodigy with the power to conquer the world was already tired of the peaceful life in Hebei and Beijing. Yearning for excitement and novelty, she agreed to the request of Li Xian, a young boy. It was clear to Yin Gong that she could compete with  With the support of the capable old man, he joined the Ministry of War and issued orders on behalf of the Ministry of War in the name of Duke Yin.  The Northern Expeditionary Army, which could not leave Jijing but remotely commanded Li Mao and Liang Qiuwu, used ruthless and sharp methods to use Gaoyang City's 80,000 soldiers and civilians as bait.  Finally, he helped Li Mao and Liang Qiu Wu reverse the situation, and then Liang Qiu Wu killed Gutuhachi, the Wolf of the Plains, in the battle of Northern Hebei, laying the foundation for the Northern Expedition's victory in this battle.

    It can be said that it was Changsun Xiangyu, Li Mao, and Liang Qiuwu who were three talented people who joined forces to defeat Beirong Wolf Cavalry, which shocked the whole country at that time. On the other hand, this is also enough to prove that Beirong  The Wolf Rider is powerful.

    And why is such a powerful foreign military force under the control of Li Mao?

    Glancing at the Eight Wise King Li Xian beside him who was sighing and obviously lost in memories, Xie An couldn't help but ask what was on his mind.

    With a slight sigh, Li Xian stroked the city wall with his right hand and looked at the strangely dressed wolf cavalry under the city. He frowned and watched the group of people passing by under the city, screaming strangely.

    "Little Wang just heard about it After Li Mao was ordered by his father to settle in Yuyang, he made great efforts to imitate the magnificent deeds of Liang Qiu Gong, the eldest son of Liang Qiu Gong and the tiger of northern Xinjiang, and turned the grassland into our training for the Great Zhou Dynasty  The cavalry school grounds"

    [Turning the grassland into a school ground for my cavalry training?  My uncle¡¯s father isSo domineering]

    Although this was not the first time he heard this, Xie An still couldn't help but take a breath when Li Xian said this.

    But despite being surprised, he did not interrupt Li Xian's words.

    "Xiao Wang's fourth brother is a man who is determined to take revenge. The year after the formation of the Yuyang Cavalry, he pointed his troops at the Canglang Tribe, the culprits of the Great Zhou Dynasty War! But at that time, because in my country,  The Zhou Dynasty was defeated and retreated, and the situation of the Canglang tribe was not optimistic. It was regarded as the sinner of the defeat by the tribes on the grassland. It was reduced from a large tribe to a vassal of other large tribesso that after the fourth brother sent troops to the grassland,  In order to use the strength of Fourth Brother to take revenge on the grassland tribes who had forced them all those years, the Canglang Tribe actually surrendered to Fourth Brother"

    [No wonder that Yudou will serve as a general under Li Mao]

    Xie An suddenly understood and nodded. He had been wondering before that why the brother of Gu Tuhachi, the Wolf of the Blue Plains, would become Li Mao's confidant under Li Mao's tent. After Li Xian said this, he  Realizing that after the Canglang tribe was defeated, their situation on the grassland must have been quite pessimistic. It is not difficult to imagine that many grassland tribes would blame them for the defeat.

    "The Canglang Tribe was the first grassland tribe to surrender to Fourth Brother Fourth Brother is not a reckless man who wants to be militaristic. He has studied under Liang Qiu Gong for many years. How come he doesn't know the principles of using barbarians to control barbarians and barbarians to control barbarians?  After destroying a large tribe, he promised rewards to the warriors of that tribe and turned those foreign warriors into his private soldiers to help him conquer the grassland"

    "Strike the grassland?" Xie An glanced at Li Xian in surprise.

    Seemingly noticing Xie An's surprised look, Li Xian smiled faintly.  Calmly said, "Fourth brother has a big heart. He is not satisfied with the great achievements of Liang Qiugong, the tiger of Northern Xinjiang, nor is he satisfied with just turning the grassland into a training ground for my army in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The illustrious military exploits of my father in the south and north."  , has been what the fourth brother has longed for since he was a child Could it be the king's land in the whole world! Turn the place where the rising sun shines into the land of my Great Zhou. This is the ambition in the heart of Xiao Wang's fourth brother! "

    "Good guy" Xie An gasped in shock. He never expected that King Yan Li Mao's ambitions would be so far-reaching. No wonder the old emperor would confer him the title of King Xiang and call him Li Shi of the Great Zhou Dynasty.  The first warrior of the royal family.  Compared with this ambition, the achievements of the great uncle Liang Qiu Gong are nothing.

    "However, the Yuyang cavalry, which has just taken shape, cannot support Li Mao in conquering the grassland. Therefore, Li Mao needs a death squad. He needs an army to harass the various tribes on the grassland all the time"

    "Is it the Liaodong Expeditionary Force?" Xie An asked.

    "Hmm!" Li Xian nodded and said in a deep voice, "Li Mao organized a large number of grassland warriors from tribes that were wiped out On the grassland, big tribes destroyed small tribes every day. And once  When the tribe is destroyed, the warriors of the small tribe will become slaves of the large tribe and serve the large tribe that destroyed their tribe. Therefore, loyalty is a very rare thing on the grassland. Maybe a grassland warrior is still alive today.  Kill the enemy with you, and I will become your enemy tomorrowpowerful power, generous rewards. Li Mao used two things to take a group of extremely vicious thugs under his command, and instigated them to raise the butcher's knife against their former compatriots.  Harassing and raiding those big tribes all the time, weakening the strength of those big tribes, so as to facilitate the Yuyang cavalry to go out for crusade In this way, day after day, day after day, those wolf cavalry No. It should be said that it was the Liaodong expedition.  The army has become a powerful force under Li Mao that is not inferior to the Yuyang Cavalry!"

    "Good guy" Xie An glanced at Yan King Li Mao in amazement, who had not yet retreated from the city. He was surprised that Li Mao could think of such a snowballing method to conquer the grassland, and.  This method can be implemented successfully.

    But when he thought about the personal martial arts and powerful military power possessed by King Yan Li Mao, Xie An was not surprised.

    "The Liaodong Expeditionary Forceare those wolf cavalry difficult to deal with?" Xie An asked tentatively, because he could see that Li Xian seemed to be extremely afraid of this army.

    Seemingly guessing what Xie An was thinking, Li Xian shook his head and said seriously, "The strength is similar to that of the Yuyang Iron Cavalry. Well, maybe the individual strength is not as good as the Yuyang Iron Cavalry"

    "Then what are you so worried about?" Xie An wondered, knowing that the Jizhou Army under his command was facing the Yuyang Cavalry and had no concessions, not to mention the Liaodong Expeditionary Army, which was not as powerful as the Yuyang Cavalry.

    "Xie Shangshu, you don't understand!" Li Xian shook his head and said in a more serious tone, "The Liaodong Expeditionary Army is different from the Yuyang Iron Cavalry. The Yuyang Iron Cavalry is a regular army with strict discipline, while the Liaodong Expeditionary Army is just a bunch of thugs, extremely vicious.  Thugs! If possible, Xiao Wang really doesn¡¯t want those thugs to set foot in my land of Great Zhou again!" At this point, he said quietlyHe took a breath, shook his head and said, "Looking at the Liaodong Expeditionary Force coming from the northeast just now, Xiao Wang is really worried about whether the people of my Zhou Dynasty are safe, whether the villages are safe, and whether the towns are safe where those thugs passed.  ¡­¡±

    Xie An was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he realize that Li Xian, the Eight Wise King, simply regarded the Liaodong Expeditionary Force as a disaster like a locust plague. It was no wonder, after all, Li Mao originally regarded them as locust envoys and asked them to harass and persecute them.  The tribes on the grassland were convenient for the subsequent conquests of the Yuyang Cavalry, but now this locust army actually set foot on the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is no wonder that Li Xian had a long beard and text message and was indignant in his heart.

    "Ling the wolf into the house, luring the wolf into the house!" Shaking his head, Li Xian stamped his feet and beat his chest, sighing.

    At the same time, under the city of Jijing, King Yan Li Mao still looked at the upper floors of the city of Jijing, looking for the figures of Xie An and Li Xian.

    ¡°It¡¯s just a thin line¡­¡±

    With a whisper, Le Xu, one of the Five Tigers of Northern Xinjiang, and Zhang Qi came to Li Mao's side. The one who spoke just now was Le Xu.

    "Well" Li Mao responded softly without saying a word.

    Seeing this, Le Xu hesitated for a moment and continued, "The Jizhou Army is not simple either. They actually guessed that His Highness had transferred reinforcements from Liaodong"

    "" Li Mao continued to look at the city.  in silence.

    Glancing at Li Mao, Le Xu spoke again, "But it's no wonder when you think about it. After all, there are two extremely resourceful military advisors in the Jizhou army, Li Xian and Xiangyu, the eldest son of the concubine"

    "" Upon hearing this, Li Mao turned his head and glanced at Le Xu, and said displeasedly, "Le Xu, what exactly do you want to say? Say it directly. Don't beat around the bush, you should know that I hate beating around the bush the most.  !¡±

    Le Xu opened his mouth after hearing this, but stopped talking. Zhang Qi beside him couldn't help it anymore, frowned and said in a low voice.  "Your Highness, why did you recruit those thugs?"

    Having said that, Zhang Qi couldn't help turning his head to look at the Liaodong Expeditionary Force. He saw that group of people gathered under the city of Jijing, provoking the defenders in the city in an extremely vulgar way. Some soldiers not only took off their shirts, but even  He also took off most of his pants.  He urinated in the direction of the city head of Jijing, laughing loudly and mocking the defenders on the city.

    Regardless of the effect of the provocation, Zhang Qi felt disgraced by this approach alone. He was so humiliated that he wished he could withdraw his troops immediately, lest anyone know that the uneducated Beirong soldiers also belonged to his northern Xinjiang soldiers.  horse.

    Ah, it¡¯s so embarrassing to have such a group of friendly troops!

    How embarrassing!

    "Thugs?" Take a deep breath.  King Yan Li Mao raised his head to look at the head of Jijing City.

    He didn¡¯t speak because he had nothing to say. If it weren¡¯t for the special circumstances, he would not have wanted to recruit the Liaodong Expeditionary Force, an army that was no different from the most ferocious thugs. In fact, he was also vaguely worried that this might lead to a wolf entering the house.

    In Li Mao's opinion, it would not be a bad idea to backfire on his master.  Even if this group of people were given great courage, they would not dare to bite him back, but the problem is that these people are really difficult to tame.  Although they are not going to go against Li Mao, King of Yan, they are still capable of privately attacking and destroying several cities, counties and villages without Li Mao paying attention. After all, Li Mao was the one who originally organized this expeditionary force.  The purpose was to get these thugs to cause trouble on the grassland, but now that the situation was special, Li Mao had no choice but to recruit them.

    When it comes to the root of this matter, it still lies in the three partial division commanders of the Jizhou Army, Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and Liao Li.  A while ago, the Jizhou Army they led had a battle with Li Mao's Yuyang Cavalry. In the end, Li Mao's side lost all three battles. Leaving aside the fact that the Yuyang Cavalry would inevitably underestimate the enemy after winning many battles.  , the strength of the Jizhou Army is also evident.

    After all, if it was just an ordinary army, no matter how lightly the Yuyang Cavalry took it, they would not have lost so miserably.

    Because he has realized that the Jizhou Army is no longer what it used to be, and is no longer the soft-footed shrimp army under the former crown prince Li Wei, Li Mao is in urgent need of reinforcements. Otherwise, when Xie An's large Jizhou Army troops arrive, the military forces of both sides will be destroyed.  The strength of the lineup may be completely reversed.

    Although Boling still had Li Mao's 70,000 to 80,000 troops, Li Mao did not dare to call them. After all, those troops were responsible for besieging a ferocious female tiger. Once she was allowed to break free from the cage, the threat would be far greater than that of the Jizhou army.

    So, half a month ago, when Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and Liao Li showed off their power in front of the Yuyang cavalry for a long time, Li Mao had no choice but to recruit an expeditionary force as far away as Liaodong and even Lelang, hoping that  If he could use this extraordinary force to completely destroy the Jizhou Army, Li Mao would not hesitate to die together.

    No wonder, after all, in terms of the current deterrence and strength of King Yan Li Mao, it doesn't matter whether there is the Liaodong Expeditionary Army or not. After all, the Liaodong Expeditionary Force was originally formed.The purpose of the conquest was just to drag down the large tribes on the grassland to death so that the Yuyang cavalry, which was beginning to take shape at that time, could destroy them.  But now, the Yuyang Cavalry has become the overlord on the grassland. As a result, the Liaodong Expeditionary Army, an army that cannot be defeated, has become a cancer under Li Mao's command who doesn't know when it will break out.

    Rather than doing this, it would be better to recruit him and let him die together with the Jizhou army. Anyway, Li Mao doesn't feel sorry for him.

    Based on this idea, Li Mao finally transferred the foreign wolf cavalry from the Liaodong Expeditionary Force.

    Just as Xie An, Li Xian, and Changsun Xiangyu expected, even if Li Mao had nothing to do, he would not fight alone into the Jizhou army to defeat the Jizhou army's arrogance.

    "This is just the act of a reckless man, but Li Mao is a famous general in Northern Xinjiang who studied under Liang Qiu Gong. How could he do such a brave and foolhardy thing?"

    The reason why he dragged the Jizhou Army pretending to be indignant was just to wait for the arrival of the wolf-like thugs from the Liaodong Expeditionary Army. But unfortunately, he obviously underestimated Xie An, Li Xian, Changsun Xiangyu and Liu  Qing and others¡¯ schemes.

    Even Xie An understands this truth. How could Changsun Xiangyu, Li Xian, Liu Qing and others not understand?

    Ever since.  The Jizhou army finally retreated into Jijing at the critical moment, so that Li Mao's efforts were in vain.

    "Hmph! Sure enough, the so-called heroes of my great Zhou Dynasty are more difficult to deal with. They are much more difficult to deal with than the simple-minded fools on the grassland" Looking at the city head for a while, Li Mao let out a fierce breath, his face  His expression seemed slightly better.

    Seeing that Li Mao was obviously unwilling to talk about the Liaodong Expeditionary Force, Zhang Qi and Le Xu naturally couldn't say anything more and looked at each other.  He wisely did not pursue the question further, changed the subject and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

    Li Mao pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and shouted in the distance, "Yu Dou. Come here, come to me!"

    In the distance, Northern Xinjiang General Youdou saw him and ran over on his horse, cupping his hands and clasping his fists.

    "Your Highness!"

    "Hmm!" Nodding, Li Mao raised his hand and pointed at the group of foreign wolf cavalry who were behaving badly, and said in a low voice, "I don't know the Prairie language very well. You can tell them later that as long as they can capture Ji  Beijing, and annihilate the Jizhou army in the city, I will hand over any city in my country to them for three days"

    Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qi and Le Xu gasped in shock.

    "Your Highness!" Unable to conceal the horror in his heart, Zhang Qi widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Your Highness, you can't do this! This kind of thing This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!"

    "I wonder why Zhang Qi, the general of Northern Xinjiang, changed his face so much.  It¡¯s no wonder, after all, the implication of Li Mao¡¯s words just now is that he handed over an important city to the thugs of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force for three days. This was undoubtedly a tacit permission for those thugs to kill and burn in the city during those three days.  Looting was impossible. Although this method could only be used to stimulate the morale and fighting spirit of the gang of thugs, this kind of thing could not be done by any upright citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.  Neither can be tolerated.

    Not to mention that Zhang Qi and Le Xu were frightened and anxious, making their faces turn red. Even Yudou, who was born in the grassland, looked surprised. He couldn't imagine that Li Mao would say such a thing.

    And just then.  But Li Mao glanced at Zhang Qi who looked anxious, frowned and said calmly, "Why are you so anxious? Do you think the Jizhou Army is a soft persimmon that can be manipulated at will? Besides, besides the Jizhou Army, there are also Nannan troops in the city.  How could it be so easy for the army and the Northern Army to capture it? If it were really that easy, wouldn¡¯t it be possible for you and me, who have been unable to capture this city for several months, to live in silence and commit suicide?¡±

    "Huh?" Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he seemed to understand something. After realizing it, he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, you mean drive the tiger to devour the wolf?"

    "Huh! It's not too stupid!"

    Even though they were scolded by Li Mao, the anxious expressions on Zhang Qi and Le Xu's faces calmed down. They wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and Le Xu said with a smile, "I see, that's it.  I see Your Highness is wise! However, the expeditionary force is also cavalry, which may not be conducive to siege the city"

    "Now you are worried about them?" Glancing at Le Xu, Li Mao said coldly, "It's better to kill those people than to kill me, the Yuyang Cavalry, right?"

    Zhang Qi and Lexu nodded understandingly. Next to them, Youdou glanced at the soldiers of the Liaodong Expedition under the Jijing City in the distance, his expressions were calm and unruffled.

    ??????????????? Even though they are both from the grassland, this does not mean that Yudou will care about them. After all, there are many brothers who fight against each other on the grassland.  What's more, Yudou is now the second-in-command in Northern Xinjiang, so how can he care about the lives of those people.

    "Understood! Don't worry, Your Highness, I will find ways to inspire you in the end."The fighting spirit of those people paved the way for our northern Xinjiang!  "Cooking his fists, Yuto said decisively.

    "Well!" Li Mao nodded, and then, after taking a look at the top of the city of Jijing, he said regretfully, "Although it is a bit of a pity, we can only stop here todayJijing today is just an isolated city, without help from all sides.  Don¡¯t be afraid of those people escaping! - Let¡¯s go, withdraw our troops, and leave the affairs here to those thugs you are talking about!¡±

    "Yes!" With smiles on their faces, Yudou, Zhang Qi, and Le Xu responded with clasped fists.

    For the last time, he raised his head and glanced at Ji Jing, the royal capital of the Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, and looked coldly at the Ji Jing defenders on the city wall who had been vulgarly provoked by the Liaodong Expeditionary Army and were filled with anger but did not dare to go out of the city to fight. Li Maoleng  With a grunt, he finally turned his horse and retreated.

    As soon as Li Mao retreated, the 50,000-strong northern Xinjiang army also slowly retreated, leaving only the Liaodong Expeditionary Army, an army as cruel as wolves and as ferocious as tigers, surrounding Jijing without any formation, and from time to time.  He used the most vulgar way to provoke the defenders in the city.

    The withdrawal of Yan King Li Mao and the northern Xinjiang army.  This actually made the emperor Li Shou and his party at the head of Jijing City heave a sigh of relief.

    Of course, there are exceptions to this. For example, Liang Qiu Gong and Lu Gong, these two famous generals who are no longer as brave as they used to be, stand aside and talk in a low voice, their expressions are not optimistic.

    "What exactly does Li Mao want to do?"

    Beichi Hou Wenqin frowned and looked at the retreating direction of the Northern Xinjiang army, and looked at the group of foreign cavalry under the city with vulgar behavior with a complicated expression.

    Beside him.  Emperor Zhou Li Shou took a deep breath and said with a bit of a smile, "No matter what he wants to do, Ji Jing is still in our hands"

    "Ha!" Hearing this, Wen Qin smiled slightly and was about to speak.  He felt a figure pass before his eyes, subconsciously drew his sword out of its sheath, and looked solemnly at the pawn on the wall who had appeared at an unknown time.

    "Who is your Excellency?" Wen Qin shouted in a deep voice while protecting Li Shou. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed the thin iron rope wrapped around the visitor's waist and the one end of the iron rope on his back.  Sickle handle.

    "Eh?" Looking at the familiar weapon.  Wen Qin was stunned and asked tentatively, "Captain Mo?"

    It turned out that the figure who robbed the city was none other than the chief of Fusi in Beizhen, Sidu Wei Mofei.

    It¡¯s just that Mo Fei was not wrapped in black clothes and masked with black cloth this time, and Wen Qin had never seen Mo Fei¡¯s true face, so he became hostile.

    He nodded towards Wen Qin as a courtesy.  Mo Fei knelt on the ground facing Li Shou, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "I am a humble minister, Mo Fei, and I kowtow to Your Majesty!"

    Li Shou had long been surprised by the elusiveness of the spy leader of Beizhen Fusi, but he was quite surprised that Mo Fei didn't have a mask on his face this time.

    To know.  No one in the Jijing circle knew that Mo Fei, the captain of Fusi in Beizhen, had a hidden illness and was not used to showing his true colors to others.

    "Uh, Mo Fei" He patted Wen Qin lightly on the shoulder.  Asking him to step aside, Li Shou stepped forward and helped Mo Fei up. He looked at his handsome and indifferent face and said dryly, "Mo Fei, I have known you for three or four years. This is the first time I can see your true face in Lushan."  ? To dress up like this, you"

    Obviously, Li Shou also knew that Mo Fei's strength would be greatly reduced without the black cloth mask.

    Possibly guessing what Li Shou was thinking, Mo Fei said respectfully, "Reporting to your majesty, after the battle at Jiangling, I have been relieved of my heartache, and there is no need to cover my face with black cloth anymore!"

    "Oh, that's it" He looked at Mo Fei up and down. To be honest, Li Shou was very curious about how Mo Fei had changed so much. However, he had no time to ask at the moment and couldn't help but ask, "Where's that kid?"  ? Aren¡¯t you entering the city? Why don¡¯t you come over to see me?¡±

    A slight smile appeared on Mo Fei's indifferent face. Thinking that the boy Li Shou mentioned was probably Xie An, after thinking about it, he said respectfully, "Reporting to your majesty, your Excellency and His Highness the Eight Wise Kings have just entered."  At the top of the city, if you think about it, Your Majesty will be able to see you in a few moments"

    Mo Fei was talking here when Xie An and Li Xian happened to be walking slowly from the other side of the city.

    Seeing this, Li Shou couldn't hide his excitement. He walked forward quickly and called out, "Thank you!"

    "Ah?" Over there, Xie Anzheng and Li Xian were walking and talking about the Liaodong Expeditionary Force. When they heard the call, they both turned their heads suddenly, and then they discovered that Li Shouzheng was leading a large group of people towards the  They walked away.

    "Your Majesty, Li Xian, come to see your Majesty!"

    "My lord Xie An, I would like to pay homage to Your Majesty!"

    Xie An and Li Xian were preparing to salute, when Li Shou took a few steps and supported them one by one.

    "Brother Eight Emperors, you have had a hard time here!"Seemingly noticing the change in Li Xian's momentum, Li Xian smiled slightly, took a step back, bowed and said, "Don't dare! As a descendant of the Li family, I should share your Majesty's worries and devote myself to our great Zhou Sheji!"

    "Brother Eight Emperors is a noble and upright man. He is truly a humble gentleman and a role model for the world!"

    After saying a few high-sounding polite words and praising Li Xian, Li Shou turned his attention to Xie An.

    Suddenly, as the emperor, Li Shou suddenly raised his hand and put it on Xie An's chest. The latter was caught off guard and couldn't help but take two steps back.

    [Your Majesty, what¡¯s going on?  Mr. Xie is the hero this time, so why push him for no reason?  ]

    The soldiers on the city looked at each other in confusion, and at this moment, Xie An's actions made their faces even more horrified.

    After Xie An glanced at Li Shou in surprise, he suddenly seemed to understand something, and actually raised his right hand and pushed Li Shou.

    "Hiss"

    Seeing the emperor Li Shou and his lord Xie An pushing each other, I pushed you, Fei Guo, Ma Dan, Liao Li and others who had just climbed to the top of the city gasped in shock and turned a little pale.  .

    However, at this time, Li Shou laughed and grabbed Xie An's arms with both hands, looking excitedly at his best friend who had not seen him for many years.

    Everyone in the city was silent. Fei Guo, Ma Dan, Liao Li and other generals who knew the friendship between Li Shou and Xie An also looked at each other and secretly said in their hearts, Mr. Xie is indeed the most popular and powerful minister in front of your majesty.  , look at this treatment

    At the same time, on the city wall not far away, Liu Qing glanced at the farce between the monarch and his ministers, and once again set her sights on the Liaodong Expeditionary Force outside the city. Beside her, Changsun Xiangyu  Yi hugged his son Mo Mo and stared at the foreign cavalry under the city.

    "Are those foreign cavalry with vulgar behavior the ones that King Yan relies on?"

    ¡°That¡¯s right for the time being, hahaha¡­¡±
