It is late autumn in the Central Plains at this time, and the leaves have fallen and turned yellow, but it is far from the time for snow.
But in the Youyan area, winter came extremely early this year.
Countless behemoths from the northern desert appeared on the battlefield, including war horses the size of wild elephants, and even a Haidongqing the size of a carriage in the sky.
This kind of flat-haired beast is the favorite of the privet people. After they are trained, they can be used to spy on intelligence and assist in hunting. They are all good players.
As Xin Qiji and Yue Fei destroyed the enemy's vanguard camp, this time the privets came out in full force.
Wanyan Aguda made a solemn oath to avenge the last defeat in Bianliang.
On the land covered with snowflakes, groups of privet soldiers and horses drove their slaves and servants.
These were the Liao people who captured Ligustrum after annihilating the Khitan. They called them "Cangtou".
These poor people don't know their fate yet. The purpose of being escorted here is, firstly, to do some moving chores and transport food and baggage. Secondly, they are to be used as feed to be supplemented by the blood food of the monsters who have emerged from the thousands of years of ice.
The Ligustrum Tatars, on the other hand, rode tall horses and whipped the slow-moving Cangtou with whips from time to time. When the whip fell, blood and flesh were often scattered everywhere. Cangtou was the least valuable, because Khitan, as a huge empire, provided the conqueror Ligustrum with supplies.
Killed countless Cangtou. After many Cangtou were beaten to death, no one cared about them, and they were trampled by the people behind them. After nightfall, they became food for vultures and wild wolves.
Looking down from the sky, these barbarians are everywhere, as if they want to invade from this land of secluded swallows and devour the Central Plains alive.
What stood in front of them were several lines of defense deployed by Yue Fei. Because of their limited strength, they leaned against each other as horns and formed a ladder-shaped defense.
In the camp, there was a special visitor who cheered everyone up.
Xin Qiji was a cold-hearted person. Everyone in the military camp knew that he was very calm.
Although everyone admires him, few people want to get close to him.
He also doesn't want to get close to others.
In his opinion, leading troops to fight is a very cruel thing. It is anything but tender. Instead of taking good care of your subordinates, it is better to lead them to win the war.
Because no matter how good you are to everyone, as long as you lose the battle, it will be the worst result.
For soldiers, victory is the most important, because no matter how much care you give them, it is not as good as saving their lives.
But Xin Qiji, who had always been calm, was surprisingly excited this time. He looked towards the big tent several times.
A person came today, a person who made the blood of men in the Six Dynasties boil.
His name has been the pride of the Central Plains for hundreds of years.
His short but brilliant life shone like a shooting star. After so many years, he is still an unsurpassable legend.
Huo Qubing sat in the tent, looked at Yue Fei, and said, "Your troops are managed very well."
Just this simple sentence made Yue Fei a little excited. He said humbly: "It is an honor to be praised by the champion!"
Huo Qubing immediately said: "But there is something wrong with your fighting method."
"I would like to hear the details." Yue Fei did not directly say what was wrong. Although he admired Huo Qubing very much, he had his own principles.
It was impossible for him to change his established strategy just because of Huo Qubing's words, unless the other party could convince him.
Huo Qubing said: "You, the Song Dynasty, have lost half of Youyan. You only took back Youzhou, and there is no natural moat to defend."
Yue Fei nodded and said nothing.
Huo Qubing continued: "Although there are not many Ligustrum people, they have many green heads and wild beasts. They can always rely on the mountains to plunder. How many places can you defend with these troops? You can't afford it.
The common people cannot afford it."
Yue Fei said: "Now that the Six Dynasties Alliance has been established, our task is..."
"Hahahaha..." Huo Qubing suddenly laughed.
Yue Fei's face turned red,
Huo Qubing kept laughing. Although he didn't speak, it was more hurtful than speaking.
Suddenly, the laughter stopped, Huo Qubing stood up and said, "I came to the wrong place, take my leave."
Just when he was about to step out of the tent, Yue Fei suddenly said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute!"
Huo Qubing turned around and looked at him with indifferent eyes.
Yue Fei said: "What do you mean, use offense instead of defense?"
Huo Qubing said solemnly: "Are you fighting just to get beaten?"
"Since you are going to start a war, you must pursue the goal of destroying the enemy. Never formulate a strategy that means victory if you hold on."
"Even if the enemy you face is ten or a hundred times more powerful than you, you should still use all your energy to think about how to kill him. This is war."
Huo Qubing's voice was not loud, but it was so loud that everyone inside and outside the tent were moved.
"good!"
Xin Qiji made a fist with his left hand, punched it heavily in the palm of his right hand, and shouted loudly: "Well said!"

Li Yu looked at the secret letter in his hand and felt a little worried.
Yue Fei will soon take the initiative to attack, and his troops will be divided into two groups, each fighting on its own.
Li Yu did not intend to intervene because he knew that these people would definitely be better at fighting than him, but from an overall perspective, he was afraid of failure.
Youzhou was the first to start fighting, and it also seems to be the most unstable so far.
If they collapse, a big hole will be torn open in the Central Plains.
The privets of the Northern Desert, Mongolia and even the Tunguska Jurchens can all be reached directly from here.
When he shook his head, Zuo Ci also shook his head.
Li Yu invited him with a clay figure and wanted to take him to see Cao Cao, and then he received a letter from Zhu Wu.
Zuo Ci said: "What are you worried about?"
"I'm afraid Youyan will miss it."
"You're calling this looking forward and looking back. We are originally a party to challenge, but you still want to stand firm and fight steadily? You provoke the biggest risk, and then hope that every step will be smooth?"
Zuo Ci smiled and said, "I think there's something wrong with you."
Li Yu laughed and burned the secret letter in his hand with a flick of his finger.
"Old Zuotou, what you said makes sense this time."
Zuo Ci smiled and said, "Everything my old man said makes sense. It's just that you didn't listen carefully."
Li Yu said: "When you meet Cao Cao later, don't make any trouble, especially don't tease him."
Zuo Ci waved his hand and said: "I know, I know, he is probably on guard this time. If I bring the brothers Xiahou with me, won't I be looking for trouble myself?"
"Xu Chu is enough for you to drink a pot." Li Yu said happily.
Zuo Ci shuddered and said, "Which piece of flesh on that thing looks like a human being?"
Xu Chu's appearance was really scary. He looked like a giant. Just standing there had the effect of making gods and ghosts ward off changes.
If you give him another weapon, it will be even more oppressive and powerful, and he will tremble all over just by looking at it.
It is said that when Xu Chu is with Dian Wei, he can be considered kind. I really don’t know how outrageous Dian Wei is.
"Aren't you going with me?" Zuo Ci turned around and saw Li Yu was leaving, so he couldn't help asking anxiously.
Li Yu shook his head and said, "I still have something to do."
He wanted to go to Zhen Mi to strengthen his relationship. He couldn't just give up. At the very least, he had to come back... to see her again.
Zuo Ci looked at the Imperial City of Wei, scratched his head and said, "He won't catch me and chop me, right?"
"Don't worry, if it comes to this, I will collect the body for you."
"I'm not going!" Zuo Ci rubbed oil on the soles of her feet and immediately prepared to kick.
Li Yu quickly laughed and said, "You're just kidding me. What's wrong, old Zuotou? You're not someone who can't take jokes."
Zuo Ci looked at the imperial city with a sad face and said, "Every time I come to this place, I think of bad memories."
Should!
Li Yu cursed secretly in his heart.
If you do too many things that are harmful to your heart, you will be hurting your heart wherever you go.
But with a smile on his face, he said: "What is Lao Cao's identity? What he said is true to his word. Just go ahead and rest assured, he won't do anything to you."
After Li Yu finished speaking, he soared into the air and Yukong left.
Zuo Ci cursed at the sky, then bravely walked in.

Jinping Mansion, Zhujie Mountain.
The Shu army camp was crowded with people who came to seek refuge.
These people brought up their families, and although they were hungry and cold, they were much better off than at home.
They are all local people, Jinping Mansion is close to Lingshan Mountain, and they used to believe in Buddhism.
Occasionally, if there are those who don't believe it, they will ask the monks to take action. The three monsters in Shituoling ate the people of a country and kept many more to eat.
Among the three monsters on the Lion Camel Ridge, one is Tathagata's uncle, one is the mount of Manjusri Bodhisattva, and the third is the mount of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
Manjushri and Samantabhadra are both among the strongest Bodhisattvas, especially Manjushri, who already has the strength of the Buddha.
These three people who ate them were those who did not believe in Buddhism.
I said that if you don't believe in me, there will be a bloody disaster, and then I will immediately send these thugs.
People only know how to resist extremely ferocious monsters, but they don't think about where these monsters come from.
Originally, the people here did not have much recognition for the Buddha. After being occupied by the Shu Kingdom, they suddenly discovered that believing in Buddhism is not as good as farming.
Officials sent by the Shu Kingdom led the people under various autonomous regions to start reclaiming wasteland and planting fields. After planting, these oppressed people suddenly felt the infinite joy of farming.
For them, common sense soon became clear: farming is the best thing in the world.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the great monks made a comeback. This time they learned the lesson from the killing of several Arhats and Bodhisattvas, and no longer thoughtlessly attacked the Shu army.
The generals of Shu are a bit too powerful, especially Zhang Fei, who has already gained such a great reputation.
They finally realized that they could not defeat Shu. Even if they gathered all the power of Buddhism, they would not be able to defeat Shu.
As a result, they began to engage in underhanded activities, specifically massacring those people who had surrendered to the Shu Kingdom.
The thoughts of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are very clear. Aren't you here just to expand the territory and increase the population?
If I kill faster than these mortals can, sooner or later I can cut off your foundation and let this land return to the embrace of Buddhism.
Everyone in the Zhujie Mountain camp looked solemn.
These days, the people of Jinping Mansion are no better than those Cangtou.
There are many remnants of Lingshan who deceive these people and set their houses on fire, forcing them to become homeless.
The Shu soldiers in Jinping Mansion had no choice but to agree to let them stay temporarily again and not to move anything.
On the day the Zhujie Mountain camp was opened, hundreds of thousands of people poured in. They were able to survive this massacre. As you can imagine, they were all powerful characters.
The person guarding this place is Ma Dai. After leaving Ma Chao, his performance was average.
Ma Dai sighed and said, "People are still coming. If we don't think of a way, we won't be able to pretend anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside, and a soldier came in with his fists in his hands: "General, there is a letter from Yizhou, asking you to hold on for another thirteen days!"
When Ma Dai heard this, he immediately became furious, but the other party was giving oral instructions, which was equivalent to the emperor's personal visit.
Ma Dai knew that he had to guard the camp for a while longer. After absorbing the refugees these days, the barracks was filled with the stench of people roaming around, which gave Ma Dai a headache.
Originally, the logic of these Arhats and Bodhisattvas' actions made the Shu Kingdom judge that they were just a bunch of puppets and there was no need to invest too much effort.
Unfortunately, things went against expectations. In the court hall of Yizhou, Liu Bei sat on the dragon chair, holding his knees and saying: "The war report came from the west, saying that the Buddhas in Lingshan have gone and come back, and only those who have accepted the control of Shu during the war
Mortals have become their targets."
"Your Majesty, you must put the overall situation first." Fazheng advised.uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com
Liu Bei shook his head slightly and said: "Although Tianzhu has just surrendered, the people have already begun to pay food for Shu and contribute to me. I can't just watch them continue to be slaughtered."
"Zhao Yun!"
In the hall, a heroic general walked out, cupping his fists and saying, "I'm here!"
"Take someone to take a look. It's best to find out the masterminds behind the scenes. You can use any means at any time."
Liu Bei rarely said such words, so Zhao Yun was slightly surprised, and then smiled and said: "I am waiting for your triumphant return."
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
Zhao Yun doesn't have a good impression of the great monk, and his strength is enough for him to go to such a suitable place.
Once in Lingshan, it was Zhao Yun's spear who stood at the gate of Leiyin Temple in Lingshan. No Buddha dared to step beyond the thunder pond.
When everyone dispersed, only Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were left.
Liu Bei glanced at Zhuge Liang and said: "In recent days, the Prime Minister has to worry a lot. When the war starts, it should be fierce and unusual. This time something is very strange. Let's observe it individually."
Zhuge Liang did not answer, but said: "Your Majesty, have you heard about the whereabouts of the champion Hou Huo Qubing?"
Liu Bei nodded and said: "I know, he went to Youyan.
"
"That's right, they are going to take the initiative to attack." Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "What you need in a war is to anticipate the enemy. This time, we have the advantage, but it's a pity that we don't know how to play."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "A battle that is well prepared is difficult to fight. Have you ever heard of it, Prime Minister? Now we are at this point, we must be steady."
Zhuge Liang thought carefully for a while and felt that what Liu Bei said made sense, so he stopped insisting on his opinion.
Since His Majesty has sent out such a lineup, he must have a reason.
Liu Bei is definitely not an incompetent and ignorant person, Zhuge Liang also knows this.
