"Nine times out of ten, he is this person." Hou Shilu nodded and said, "Okay now, Zhangjiakou was originally a battleground for military strategists. The imperial court stationed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses here to stop Jiannu, The Mongols, even Li Xin came to intervene. This place is very lively." "Father, will we send troops?" Hou Gongji asked worriedly. "Definitely." Hou Shilu said without thinking: "Not to mention that there are people in the court who want to kill Li Xin, and they will not allow Li Xin to become big. Moreover, Li Xin can stir up the grassland situation. Since he Since the defeat of Jiannu, the grassland has been in chaos. Both Lin Danhan and Jiannu have taken control of the grassland. The imperial court is using Li Xin to weaken the grassland. At the same time, it will also let the grassland weaken Li. If you believe, my Xuanfu army can follow Li Xin and clean up the mess. Are the scholars in the court so sinister? What¡¯s ridiculous is that those eight aristocratic families really think that money can buy everything. , the big guys in the court will help them because of their money. What these guys care about most is their official position. What's more important is that the practices of the eight great families in recent years have already caused a stir. This has aroused the dissatisfaction of some people in the court, especially the businessmen in Jiangnan. You must know that the most powerful people in the court are the Donglin Party members. Most of these people are from Jiangnan. These people will not speak for the businessmen in Jiangnan. Are you speaking for the Shanxi merchants? " "But can our soldiers and horses defeat Li Xin's army?" Hou Gongji asked worriedly. "Whether you can survive the fight or not, you have to fight to know." Hou Shilu said with a cold snort: "We are people of the imperial court, so naturally we work for the imperial court. Although Li Xin is a genius, the emperor wants his life. , then we will kill him, who made him offend the emperor!" "Then what should we do?" Hou Gongji asked quickly. "Refining soldiers and horses." Hou Shilu's tiger eyes flashed and he said: "Being able to fight against a person like Li Xin on the battlefield is also a great pleasure in life. If we can defeat Li Xin, it means that our soldiers and horses in Xuanfu can compete with Jiannu can fight." Hou Gongji remained silent after hearing this. It turns out that Hou Shilu has a knot in his mind. In the first year of Tianqi, Yuan Yingtai proposed to restore Fushun and Qinghe. Hou Shilu, Jiang Bi, and Liang Zhongshan each stationed 10,000 troops in Qinghe. Later, Liaoyang was captured, Zhongshan was killed in battle, Shilu and Bi were both seriously injured, and they fled back to Jinzhou. Hou Shilu was seriously injured and ordered to make a successful contribution. He was promoted to Guyuan Chief Military Officer. In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the military and political affairs were collected. In the second year, Ning and Jin alerted the police and ordered their servants to go to the pass to listen. He was ordered to go out to guard Qiantun. As soon as he arrived, he was ordered to take charge of Shanhaiguan as his old official and became the general soldier of Shanhaiguan. In the first year of Chongzhen, he moved to Xuanfu. In the winter of the second year of Chongzhen, the capital was under martial law and led its troops into the defense. Unfortunately, he was defeated again by Jian Nu, and Hou Shilu was seriously injured again. It can be said that the biggest battles in Hou Shilu's life were against Jiannu, but they were all defeated by Jiannu. He really wanted to defeat Jiannu. Now Li Xin has defeated Jiannu. If he can defeat Li Xin , which means that the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu can fight against Jiannu. But, can Xuanfu¡¯s troops defeat Li Xin? Hou Gongji didn't know the outcome, but he didn't have confidence in it. It's just that these words are not what he can say. "Li Xin, I really want to see you." Hou Gongji looked to the north, as if he could see a young man standing there with his sword raised, ready to level the grassland with the steel sword in his hand. For a person like Huo Qubing, it is a pity that he, Hou Gongji, cannot see all this. At this moment, Li Xin, who was on the grassland, had also received the information he had received all night long. It could be said that the eight aristocratic families launched a thundering force to deal with Li Xin, and a bloody storm instantly broke out on the grassland. , the two horse bandits who originally had huge conflicts were united because of Li Xin. An undercurrent gradually formed. More and more scouts appeared around the Perak Villa. Sometimes, they would also fight with Li Xin. Xin's Ye Bushou fought, both sides suffered casualties, but Li Xin's Ye Bushou had fewer casualties. This also shows that Li Xin's training during this period has improved the combat effectiveness of his soldiers a lot. It is no longer the army that was like scattered sand before. However, the surrounding enemies were extremely powerful. There were tens of thousands of men and horses gathered. These men and horses were like a big mountain pressing on the top of the Thunderbolt Villa. There were even private discussions about whether to temporarily evacuate Perak Villa. As for whether they have begun to waver, Li Xin believes that there must be some, but now that the former horse bandit forces have been integrated into Li Xin's army, it is obviously difficult for these horse bandit leaders to take away some people. "My lord, should you send someone to the old camp, bring all the soldiers and horses from the old camp, and give these rebels a hard blow?" Jutu said nervously. "No need." Li Xin looked at the map sent back by Ye Bushou in his hand and said: "The soldiers and horses of the old camp are also very nervous now. Yuan Zhi and the others have to deal with the tribes in the grassland to the east and defend the territory of the Zhuosuo Tu League."We don¡¯t have much power to begin with, so how can we support us? " "Hmph, they are all those eight aristocratic families, they are extremely shameless. They actually paid those horse bandits to deal with us. Shen Fei also said disdainfully: "If I can get through this level, I will definitely settle the score with these guys." " "Why, judging from your tone, it seems like you have no confidence in this war! Li Xin raised his head, looked at Jutu and Shen Fei, and said with a smile: "Back then, I was able to rebuild the slaves with only five hundred soldiers and horses, and I defeated the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Huang Taiji and Sun Chengzong." Above all, any one of these people is stronger than these horse bandits and these Mongolian princes and ministers. I'm not afraid of these people. Am I still afraid of these barbarians? " "Yes, yes, although these guys are very powerful, they are actually a group of loose sand. Even if they are temporarily united, they are intrigued by each other, so how can they deal with them, Lord? Ju suddenly realized something and said quickly: "My lord is even afraid of Jian Nu. How could he be afraid that Jian Nu's men will be defeated?" Jutu is really stupid. "Hmph, the eight great families are really stupid. They think they can defeat me in this way, but they don't want to think about how they dare to go deep into the grassland without absolute strength, and how they dare to sweep across the Central Plains in the future. "A cold light flashed in Li Xin's eyes. "Whether it's a pile of loose sand or a group of elites, this time we are facing these horse bandits, and next time we will face the coalition forces of those tribes. So every time you fight, you must be serious. Li Xin looked at Jutu's somewhat proud expression and snorted coldly: "And the bison, carriages, etc. I asked you to collect last time, how many have you collected?" " "Returning to my lord, we have collected 800 bison, and we sent people to capture them alive on the grassland. It's just that the chariots my lord mentioned are being renovated, and there are 800 of them. This is thanks to the Bada. Family, if they hadn't sent the carriages, we probably wouldn't have had so many chariots. Jutu did not dare to neglect and said quickly. "With so many chariots, that is a good thing!" Li Xin sneered and said: "I don't dare to use these things against other people, but if we deal with these horse bandits, some guys who don't have any knowledge of military art, these chariots can just be used." "Li Xin pointed to the marked points on the map with a smile, and finally locked his eyes on one place. "Shen Fei, let's go and have a look at this place. "Li Xin pointed to the place called Laoyu Bay and said. "Laoyu Bay? "Shen Fei frowned but said nothing. He nodded, but in his heart he was thinking about what it was about Laoyu Bay that could attract Li Xin. "Lord, look, this is Laoyu Bay. "Shen Fei said, pointing to a huge bay mouth in front of him. He saw a huge bay mouth appearing in front of Li Xin, with a long river on one side and a high mountain on the other side, turning a straight avenue into such a twist. " This is a great place! "Li Xin flew up the mountain and pointed to the curve at the bottom of the mountain. He looked carefully and saw that there were not many curves, only three, but the curves were very big. "Send the order and temporarily move our Perak Villa to the back of the mountain. Come, this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Enough to withstand all enemy forces. "Li Xin pointed to the back of the mountain and said. "Move here? "Shen Fei looked at Li Xin in surprise, but when he saw Li Xin's face was serious, he immediately knew that Li Xin had made up his mind. He did not dare to neglect at the moment, and quickly ordered someone to pass on the order. In an instant, a huge relocation activity took place. However, Perak Villa is not far from Laoyu Bay. Although there are many people in Perak Villa now, Qingzhuang accounts for the majority, and the move is extremely simple. "Young Master Wang, what you are talking about right now is evil. The wolves have migrated to Laoyu Bay. Now that they are fine, it will be difficult to deal with them. "In an unknown playground, a huge tent appeared in it. In the big tent, many people were gathering together. A middle-aged man with a cold face sat at the head of the table, and on one side was a handsome man. Young man, this man is dressed in fine clothes and has an extraordinary appearance. He looks like a young man from the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains. "Ma Huihui, you were defeated by the evil wolf last time. This is a good opportunity for revenge!" Do you just want to give up this opportunity? "The young man did not answer the middle-aged man's words. Instead, he found a person in the crowd below and said. "Young Master Wang, don't talk about me. As long as the cavalry agrees, we will naturally follow You Da as the master. , just attack the wolf. "The horse in the crowd rolled his eyes back and said with a smile. "The Iron Riding Club is as famous as the Perak Villa. It is said that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. The two families are also constantly arguing, but they are just small fights. After all, there are eight aristocratic families mediating on one side, and everyone is also I won¡¯t stop going because of money. But unlike Perak Villa, it is rumored that the three leaders of the Cavalry Club, You Yong, You Hu, and You Bao, are all very brave people.nbsp; "Laoyu Bay is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although our military strength is far superior to that of the Wolf, if we want to attack Laoyu Bay, I am afraid there will be many casualties." You Yong frowned and said to Prince Wang: " Prince Wang must also know that Laoyu Bay is a place with mountains and water at the mouth of Sandao Bay. If Li Xin places the camp there, he won't have to worry about being surrounded by tens of thousands of people in a short time. In Yuwan, the daily consumption of food and fodder is also very huge. If we attack again, there will be many dead and wounded brothers. We will not be able to explain to these brothers by then!" You Yong said casually. "Damn it, these guys are asking for prices all over the sky!" Wang Gongzi, who was born in eight aristocratic families, didn't know the meaning of You Yong's words. He felt secretly angry in his heart, but he still said disdainfully: "What the master said Isn¡¯t it just money? Well, as long as we can kill the evil wolf, how about my family give me another five hundred thousand taels of silver? But you have to get me the head of the evil wolf.¡± ¡°Okay, since that¡¯s the case, Mr. Wang. "It's generous, I, You, don't dare to be unloyal. We, the cavalry, will take this order with you," You Yong's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands. "Huh, in that case, I'll be waiting for the good news from you all." Prince Wang looked at You Yong with some disgust and said, "But I advise you to take action early, otherwise, you will wait until the evil wolf attacks Laoyuwan's defense. The facilities are ready. If you attack again, it may be too late and there will be more casualties. " "Young man, we will send troops tomorrow," You Yong rolled his eyes and said without thinking. "Okay, in that case, I'll take my leave." Prince Wang obviously didn't want to stay here for a moment. As soon as he heard You Yong agreed, he immediately bowed his hand to him and left the tent.
