In the time of Xu, the main palace of Xichun City was located.

Yelu Qi looked at Yelu Fengyun and Wu Changtian who were listless and with their heads lowered, and shook his head gently.

He let out a long sigh and said, "I can't blame you for this. They calculated it with their own intentions and we didn't. Even if I led the troops to go there in person, the result would still be like this."

Yeluyan said bitterly at the side: "This little monk is too bad. He has caused so many casualties to our soldiers. If I see him one day, I will definitely take his head off."

Yeluqi looked at her and shook his head and said, "Master Li is right. There is no right or wrong in war, only whether you want to or not. If they are willing to ambush there, can we not go?"

"That's not okay. He is playing a conspiracy with us. It's so abominable. I will definitely beat him up next time I see him!" Yeluyan said looking at him.

Yeluqi looked at her and replied speechlessly: "We went because we were willing to go. Their ambush was the cause, and we fell into the trap was the result. We can't blame others."

Yeluyan was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Yeluqi looked at everyone and continued: "He said that he wanted to discuss business with my father. It seems that he was really sincere, otherwise he would not have said that to me."

"Does it mean that since my father was here, there was no need to fight this battle? I don't believe it!" Yeluyan continued to shout.

"It's just that we are our own masters, and we can't stop. There's no need to go to Xiaguan. I believe they will retreat tonight, and they will have to deal with us and Kaiyang next."

Yeluqi looked at the living beings in front of him and said quietly.

"Are we just sitting here waiting for them to attack?" Yelu Fengyun looked at him and asked in confusion.

Wu Changtian did the same, looking up at Yeluqi.

"What else? Could it be that if I order you to lead an army to look for them in the snowy wasteland again, will you be able to find them? There has been no trace of them in this heavy snowfall. Let's try not to fight in this battle until the kings of the various tribes come back.

Let’s theorize again.”

Yeluqi felt powerless for the first time.

"Okay, let's all go down and have a rest. Arrange the injured soldiers. We will send troops to Wushiling tomorrow to bring the fallen soldiers back to the city. They are all excited. We will send people back to the grassland tribes for burial next year."

Waving his hand, Yeluqi said to everyone.

"Brother, can we just let it go?" Yeluyan looked at the soldiers leaving and asked bitterly.

"First appease the soldiers and settle down in the three towns. We will discuss everything after the father comes back." Yeluqi looked at her and said quietly.

...

The time of Xu is about to end, on the Wushi Ridge.

Ma Tianyun raised his head and glanced at the sky, picked up branches and fiddled with the snow on the ground to bury the fire. He turned around and said to Shen Huocheng, "Send the order to put out the fire and set up camp. We will rush to camp outside Xichun City when the time comes."

Shen Huocheng nodded and said to the messenger: "Go down with the order, extinguish the fire and set up camp. When the time comes, we will rush to camp outside Xichun City."

"Send the order to put out the fire and move the camp."

"Send the order to put out the fire and move the camp."

For a moment, shadows swayed, and the war horses roared. Three thousand five hundred soldiers walked down the mountain one by one.

The soldiers in charge of the heavy slaves had already finished splitting the ten heavy slaves, and the army quietly moved down the mountain.

"Tomorrow is the beginning of the war!" Ma Tianyun said to himself as he looked at the army moving down the mountain.

...

At the same time, at the entrance of Wushiling.

Nalanyu looked at the five hundred soldiers and shouted: "Go through the Wushiling Canyon as quickly as possible. If you encounter any living war horses on the way, you can take them away. If you encounter injured enemy soldiers, as long as they do not attack us, leave them alone."

They! Remember, you are not allowed to clean the battlefield, cross the canyon as quickly as possible, and join the army on the ridge! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, five hundred soldiers mounted their horses and blew towards the canyon like a whirlwind.

...

Outside Xiaguan City, Li Ye looked up at the sky and said quietly: "General Zhu, what time is it now?"

"Report to the Imperial Master, the time of Xu is about to end!" Zhu Tianhu looked at him and replied in a deep voice.

Li Ye took out a letter and handed it to him and said: "Send this letter to the Grand Marshal and instruct the soldiers to light the pine trees and straw figures on the position. Everyone quietly evacuates the position and aims at Xichun City."

"Set fire to the grassroots and pine branches. Everyone evacuated quietly. After exiting the position, we gathered and mounted our horses and rushed to Xichun!" Zhu Tianhu shouted.

"Set fire to the grassroots and pine branches, everyone evacuate quietly!"

...

Suddenly, a raging fire broke out in Xiaguan Chengguan, and the fire burned half of the night sky red.

The grassland soldiers on the tower of Xiaguan City looked at the fire outside the city and were all puzzled. They shouted: "These soldiers from southern Xinjiang can't stand the severe cold, so they actually set fire to it?"

Yue Tianlang heard the noise and walked outside the house, looked at the fire outside the city, shook his head, turned around and walked back into the house.

I think you can play whatever you like, but I won’t be able to leave the city until you are beaten to death!

...

At two o'clock in the afternoon, ten miles outside Kaiyang City.

Yang Kaiyi looked at Ma Feihu and said quietly: "We have won battles in Xiaguan and Wushiling. You and I can't be left behind. Send an order to the army to make a fire and cook on the spot. Let the soldiers rest for two hours.

Enter the designated place at Yin hour, and launch an attack as soon as Chen hour arrives!"

Ma Feihu looked at him and said with a smile: "We are going to cause headaches to the two city lords of Xichun and Kaiyang this time. I hope the imperial master can stop Xichun's grassland cavalry and let us have a good fight here!"

Yang Kaiyi looked in the direction of Xichun, and after a while he said: "At this time, the Imperial Master and the others are still on their way from Xiaguan to Xichun. I hope they can reach the outside of Xichun smoothly."

Ma Feihu nodded, turned around and said to the ordering soldier: "Go down with the order, make a fire to cook, and get some rest!"

"Send the order, light a fire to cook, and get some rest!"

"Send the order, light a fire to cook, and get some rest!"

For a time, five thousand soldiers were scattered across the vast snowfield, and fires burned quietly.

...

At the same moment, at the inn eighty miles away, the eldest prince looked at the letter in his hand.

Ningsheng said to deputy commander Long Jingyun and Jiang Huo: "Send the order, each of you will lead four thousand soldiers to reinforce the Imperial Army outside Xichun City and City Lord Yang in the direction of Kaiyang City. Jingyun led the troops to Xichun, Jiang Huo

When you lead the troops to Kaiyang, you must arrive before dawn without any mistakes!"

"Finally we have a battle, but I'm so anxious." Long Jingyun said with a grin.

"Generalissimo, what equipment should we bring?" Jiang Huo looked at the eldest prince and asked in a deep voice.

The eldest prince glanced at the two men and said quietly: "This is a rush march for reinforcements. We cannot bring a lot of equipment. Don't bring heavy slaves. Each soldier only brings two days' rations. The same goes for the horses. The other supplies are placed here. I

Waiting for your triumphant return!"

"I will fight to the death to complete the mission!" the two said, patting their chests.

The eldest prince looked at the tragic looks of the two people and couldn't help laughing: "It's not that serious. What we are fighting is an ambush. If we can't defeat them, we will run away."

"Hehe, we still want to have a good fight with the tribes in this grassland to have fun!" Jiang Huo said, patting his chest.

"Both the national advisor and the city lord have five thousand elite soldiers, plus you four thousand each. These nine thousand elite soldiers will have nine thousand arrows. Even if the enemy's cavalry and generals fire at once, they will still be able to restrain your nine thousand arrows."

To fire a volley of arrows, you must have confidence in the national teacher, and you must also have confidence in yourselves!"

The eldest prince looked at the two people and said quietly, he was full of confidence in Li Ye, he seemed to have seen the moment of victory.

Long Jingyun and Jiang Huo looked at each other and smiled, looked at the eldest prince and replied: "The marshal is waiting here for our good news!"

The eldest prince looked at the two men and sighed, and said quietly: "If the Imperial Master had not repeatedly told me that I was not allowed to lead the army there, I really wanted to go to Xichun City in person and fight with them!"

"Generalissimo, it's better to sit in the rear and listen to the arrangements of the imperial master!" they both replied.

"Let's go, set off quickly, remember to travel lightly and arrive on time!" The eldest prince waved his hand and said to the two of them.

Not long after, the sound of gathering was heard outside the inn, and the two armies split into two groups and headed towards the three towns in the vast darkness.

Although it is the ninth month of the month today, fortunately, the sky is as expected. The wind and snow in the sky suddenly stopped, revealing the crescent moon in the sky.

The cold clear light shone on the wasteland, illuminating the way forward for the nine thousand soldiers.

The snowy moon is high, suitable for marching.

Halfway through the ugly time, Li Ye led a thousand soldiers to Wushiling. Looking at the battlefield where the smoke was still burning, even as he wielded the butcher's knife, he couldn't help but sigh again and again.

After all, the soldiers of the grassland tribes are also living beings. They all have their own masters, and they can't help themselves on the battlefield.

"Don't clean up the battlefield, pass through Wushiling at full speed, and arrive outside Xichun City before dawn!" Li Ye and Zhu Tianhu ordered.

"Go through Wushiling at full speed and arrive outside Xichun City before dawn!" Zhu Feihu repeated.

Pass through Wushiling at full speed and arrive outside Xichun City before dawn!" the messenger shouted one after another.

A long queue of thousands of people did not stop, but rode on their horses in the direction of Xichun.

Mu Mu followed Li Ye on a military horse and shouted: "Brother, when we arrive in Xichun, we must let Mu Mu fight with the generals. It will be too unpleasant to be in Xiaguan."

Li Ye looked back at her, pointed at the disabled grassland soldiers on the roadside and said, "This is the record of Brother Nalan and General Ma. If you want to fight, wait until Xichun!"

Mu Mu nodded and raised the riding whip in her hand.

On both sides of the official road, disabled soldiers from the grassland tribes kept warm by large and small fires.
