"My lord, two days have passed, and only a few scouts have returned, and they are all wandering around without getting any effective information."
"Who can tell me what's going on?"
Listening to his subordinate's report, Ning Yuanpei frowned, his face gloomy like water.
In the camp, all the generals and counselors were as quiet as a cicada, not daring to make a sound.
Chapter 355: Can't sit still
"My lord, in my opinion, this is clearly Leizhou's intention to cover up something, so they sent many experts to assassinate our scouts."
"Yes, General Ning must have caused immeasurable damage to them, so he wanted to create this weird situation to slow down the army behind me."
"It makes sense. They were scared, so they came up with this strategy after seeing our army coming and knowing that they were invincible."
"This must be Xu Zian's trick! My lord, we must not fall for it!"
"Yes, no matter what the enemy's purpose is, we cannot let them succeed. The more they want to slow down our army, the more we need to speed up our march."
A group of generals and counselors talked about it.
At this time, another counselor stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I don't think so. No matter what, we need to know ourselves and the enemy before we can win a hundred battles. But now our army can't even find out the intelligence ahead, so it's too risky to move out rashly. "
"I also agree that this matter is too involved, and it is better to be more cautious."
"It is recommended that adults do not send troops. It is best to send a team of vanguards to explore the way forward. Only after knowing all the circumstances can they act."
In the camp, the war faction and the prudent faction instantly argued.
One side thinks that we should send troops to attack Leizhou immediately, while the other side thinks it is safest to take it slowly.
This made Ning Yuanpei frowned and felt very irritable.
After thinking for a long time, Ning Yuanpei said aloud, "Okay!"
"According to my wishes, send troops immediately!"
"First of all, after many conscripts by the imperial court, there are very few troops left in Leizhou. Even if he, Li Yuanze, still has private soldiers, they are no more than [-] to [-] at most."
"And these troops should not be concentrated in Leizhou City, and it will take a lot of time to dispatch them."
"And I have [-] troops in Qinzhou, and [-] cavalry vanguards."
"As long as we don't attack the city and set the battlefield outside the city, we will have an absolute advantage in strength, and they dare not go out of the city to take the initiative to attack."
"Come out and die."
"There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. So, what else is there to worry about?"
After finishing speaking, all the generals and counselors nodded one after another.
"That's right. In this war, we will take the initiative. Don't let the enemy lead you by the nose."
"My lord, please give me an order. The final general will enter Leizhou immediately and join General Ning."
"My lord, give the order!"
In an instant, everyone agreed with Ning Yuanpei's words.
"Pass down the order, cook at Chenshi, pull out the camp at Sishi, and set off with the whole army!" Ning Yuanpei shouted after thinking for a while.
"The last will obey!"
……
An hour later, Qinzhou's [-] troops pulled out of the camp and marched south.
Li Yuanze, who was in Leizhou City, got the news immediately.
"What? Qinzhou's [-] troops have crossed the border?"
Li Yuan looked at the guard who sent the letter with a very ugly expression.
After a pause, he growled, "How dare he?"
"Ning Qianjun's [-] cavalry are gone, how could he, Ning Yuanpei, dare to enter Leizhou?"
"What the hell is he thinking?"
Li Yuan became more and more angry as he talked.
He couldn't figure out why.
Originally, he thought that Ning Yuanpei would withdraw his troops and return to Qinzhou if he learned that Ning Qianjun's [-] cavalry were gone.
Even if he wants to come back for revenge, at least it will be a long time later.
But he never expected that Ning Yuanpei brought someone here after thinking about it for less than two days.
Is your brain flooded?
However, he didn't know that all the scouts sent by Ning Yuanpei were assassinated by Li Xiao's men.
I don't know anything about the situation here.
Hence the present situation.
"My lord, don't worry, you need to be calm in everything." Xu Zian said calmly.
"He's coming to attack Leizhou City, how can I stay calm?"
Li Yuanze said anxiously: "Quickly, call everyone to come to Leizhou City, and the few cities outside will be given to him."
"I still have more than 2 soldiers. If I stick to Leizhou, Ning Yuanpei will have nothing to do with me."
In fact, he didn't want to be so passive.
But helplessly, he raised money and supplies for Li Xiao several times.
So much so that Leizhou became poor.
If you take the initiative to attack, you will need to consume a lot of food and military supplies, all of which need money!
Therefore, he can only defend.
"Wait a moment!"
Xu Zian suddenly said: "Maybe the prince forgot something."
"What's the matter?" Li Yuanze looked at Xu Zian suspiciously.
"Li Xiao said that if the prince is in trouble, you can ask him for help."
Li Yuan sighed and shook his head slightly: "He said it, but it's not that simple. Without money, how could he come to help me."
"Then give him money. If you don't have money, then exchange it with something, or even with someone." Xu Zian said slowly.
"This...replacement? With my Leizhou soldiers?"
Li Yuanze looked shocked: "This is impossible! How can the soldiers who have worked hard to train be handed over?"
"My lord, you are too small!"
Xu Zian shook his head lightly, and continued: "Let's make friends with Li Xiao, dealing with Qinzhou is only one of them, and what's more important is Li Xiao's devastating weapon."
"If you can buy it, or get the casting blueprint through other methods, give some silver, or lose a few thousand soldiers and horses, what's the point?"
"And if you want to get the blueprint, you have to let Li Xiao relax his vigilance, so as to have a chance."
"Ok?"
Li Yuanze woke up suddenly, stared wide-eyed and said: "I think he is determined not to sell, sir, what you mean is to exchange someone for him to help me, and let our people in by the way? Won't it be reused?"
Xu Zian said slowly: "If this is not in a hurry, he will definitely not reuse it, and our people have no access to the core level of that kind of big killer, but as long as they can enter Qiongzhou, they will have the opportunity to obtain blueprints."
"As for how to do it, this can only be arranged after knowing the situation in Qiongzhou."
"Sir, are you sure?" Li Yuanze looked at Xu Zian nervously.
To be honest, he was moved.
That day, on the coast, he saw with his own eyes the destructive power of such a weapon.
At this moment, my heart is still shocked.
If this kind of weapon can be used by him, what is a mere tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?
As long as the casting blueprint of this weapon can be obtained, what's the point of giving the entire Leizhou to Li Xiao?
As long as he has that kind of weapon, he thinks it will be easy to make a comeback.
"I can only say that it's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. If you don't do it, how do you know you won't succeed?" Xu Zian narrowed his eyes slightly.
"it is good!"
Li Yuan said categorically, "Then do according to what Mr. said."
"This Ning Yuanpei dared to attack our Leizhou on the premise that he knew that he had lost [-] cavalry. He must have a lot of confidence. If he didn't ask Li Xiao for help, I'm afraid our Leizhou would not be able to survive this catastrophe. "
Xu Zian nodded: "I'm relieved if the prince can figure it out."
"It's not too late. I'll send someone to Qiongzhou to find Li Xiao right away. No matter what he wants, I will try my best to satisfy him."
Li Yuan acted vigorously and immediately shouted: "Come on!"
"Subordinates are here!"
Chen Wenyu stood up.
"A letter."
Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "Let's say Qinzhou's [-] troops, no! [-] troops are coming to my Leizhou. I know that Leizhou is hard to resist. Please ask him to send someone to help. He can give you any reward. As long as my Leizhou can do it."
"Yes!"
Li Yuanze also had his own little calculations.
Although he still has more than 2 troops, they are all private soldiers, and no one knows.
The less you can say about Qinzhou's soldiers, the better, so Li Xiao's price will naturally be less.
Anyway, for Li Xiao's big killer, there is no difference between 4 people and 1 people.
Chapter 356: Those Who Don't Know Are Fearless
Qiongzhou.
Ning Qianjun woke up in a daze.
He only felt that his brain was extremely dizzy and his thoughts were a little confused.
Suddenly, he woke up with a start and opened his eyes.
But he found that he was being driven by two people dressed as guards, and he didn't know where he was going.
He remembered what happened before he passed out.
On the coastline, eight thousand iron cavalry, three large boats, and the tragic scene like Shura's hell.
In an instant, Anonymous Qianjun's eyes turned red.
Eight thousand cavalry.
It's gone!
He was so angry that he couldn't add more.
He wants to vent, wants to struggle.
But he found himself tied up and unable to move.
"Damn!"
Ning Qianjun let out a low growl, gritted his teeth like a ferocious beast, and said, "Let me go! I'm going to tear you to pieces!"
Don't even think about it.
Now he is estimated to have become a prisoner.
"To shut up!"
The guard supporting him frowned and said something, then stuffed Ning Qianjun's mouth with a sackcloth.
A moment later, in the lobby.
