Li Wenhao returned to the city lord's palace and explained to Li Erkui, Zhang Wenhe and others. Just as he was about to set off, a sentry hurried in.
"Report, we were cleaning up the battlefield outside the city and found two living Sha tribesmen. One of them said his name is Shan Geng and he is one of our people. He has important information and asks to see the Marquis."
"Oh, it's Shan Geng, let him in quickly!"
When Li Wenhao heard the news, he became eager. What he wanted to know most now was the news about Mocheng.
After a while, Shan Geng, whose head was wrapped in white cloth, together with Zhebie and Ashina Kang, all arrived.
"Master Hou,"
"I've met the Marquis!"
"Okay, no need to be polite, you are here just in time, let's hear the news about Mocheng." Li Wenhao raised his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit down.
There were only four of them in the huge meeting hall.
"Master Hou!" Shan Geng took a sip of water and said anxiously: "There are less than 10,000 defenders in Mocheng now, and tonight is the best chance to take the city.
We have received news that they will send another 100,000 terrorists over soon, probably tomorrow."
Li Wenhao nodded and asked: "How is the teleportation point? Did it explode?"
Shan Geng thought for a while and said: "This is not clear yet. Big-nosed Nakata Hiroshi's team will follow Kimura Futuki, so we have a division of labor.
Yamatake and some people stayed in the city to look for opportunities to blow up the teleportation point. Hiroshi Nakata and I tried to find a way to deliver the message.
By now, if the team outside the city has not returned to the city urgently, it should not have exploded."
"Okay, you did a good job in sending the information in time. You will have to make a hard trip to Mocheng with me later."
Li Wenhao took a deep breath and stood up: "At this point, we can only give it a try. If reinforcements from the Sand tribe are allowed to arrive, the situation will be a hundred times more difficult than it is now."
"I'll understand!" Zhebie and the other three people all stood up and clasped their fists, including Ashina Kang, all with solemn expressions.
Zhebie had already told him something about the situation in Mocheng. After hearing this, he felt very stressed.
"Don't be too nervous. Before we leave, I'll give you an unexpected treasure!" Seeing the nervous look of the three of them, Li Wenhao smiled mysteriously and took them there.
The stables.
It was already dark at this time, but the stable was surprisingly lively, with many people gathered around. Before they even got close, they heard Li Erkui shouting with a loud voice.
"I have reserved this white hoof, and none of you can steal it from me."
"General Erkui, you are the commander of the infantry. What is the use of such a good mount? Our general Ma also likes this white hoof horse."
"I don't know who General Ma is. This scaly horse has my name on it, so it belongs to me." Li Erkui shamelessly held a writing brush and looked proud.
"Stop fighting, the Marquis is here!" Zhang Wenhe also had a writing brush in his hand and was about to attack another scaled horse when he saw Li Wenhao and others.
"Humph!" Li Wenhao strode past with a dark face.
I was so angry that my feelings were leaking out from all directions in the city lord's palace, and I couldn't keep any secrets. In such a short time, everything was known.
"Wait a minute, this white hoof belongs to me, and I have a mark on the butt!" Zhebie saw Li Erkui competing for the horse with him at a glance, and without caring about anything else, he ran over in a gust of wind.
"I'll go!" Li Wenhao's face turned even darker, showing his emotional farewell.
He originally thought of giving these two a surprise, but now it turned out to be a surprise for him.
"Master Marquis, I noticed this white hoof first. There is a mark on the butt." Zhebie pointed to an arrow sign and showed it to everyone.
"What mark? It was obviously bitten by a weasel, so my name counts!" Li Erkui stiffened his neck and refused to admit it. Now facing Zhebie, he would not let go.
If you give in to other things, then give in. For generals, one is the mysterious weapon, and the other is the mount. These two things must not be given up.
"Master Hou, these two are so shameless. I'm different from them. I just want the one with long legs." Zhang Wenhe was a bit of a thieves, knowing that it was Master Hou who had the final say.
He came closer and pointed at another scaly horse that looked very good.
"Humph, you and them are all the same!"
Li Wenhao glared at Zhang Wenhe angrily and walked up to him: "Look at your potential, aren't you just a scaly horse? What's there to fight for?
Everyone at the leadership level will have a horse and draw lots!"
"It's okay to draw lots, I agree."
"Let's draw lots, who is afraid of whom? The white hoof must be mine!"
When Li Wenhao got angry, all the generals became weak, and they all supported the drawing of lots.
"Master Marquis, our Fire Crow Army has sixteen generals above the command level. Isn't that enough?" Zhang Wenhe reminded cautiously from the side.
"There are so many?"
Li Wenhao was surprised and secretly calculated in his mind, five new infantry battalions and four cavalry battalions, that's nine.
There are also personal barracks, vanguard camps, flying bear camps, death camps, several prefects, etc., all of which seem to be at the commander level or above.
If you think about it this way, there may be more than sixteen.
"Let's do this. Give the ones in Shacheng first, and send the rest to Kanbao."
"Okay, let's draw lots now!" Li Erkui was the most excited and immediately took his brush and wrote a note.
There were only ten scaly horses in total, but it only took a few minutes to get them all done. The commander, who was not on the scene, had his own soldiers draw lots instead. No one cared whether he failed to draw the horses well and was beaten.
To everyone's surprise, the white hoof was finally captured by Li Erkui.
"Yeah, I knew the white hoof must be mine!" Li Erkui jumped up excitedly.
"Something's wrong, Li Erkui must have done something." Zhebie said with a bitter look on his face. He was very upset. He was still worried about it until the group left the city.
"Okay, don't think about it, you are still a marksman!"
Li Wenhao comforted him by saying that even if he knew that Li Erkui was causing trouble, he wouldn't be able to say anything about this kind of thing.
The palms and backs of his hands were all flesh, they were all his soldiers, and he could only turn a blind eye.
For those in power, sometimes it is better to be a little confused.
"Hehe." Ashnakan smiled unkindly on the side. He was a newcomer, so he should just be honest.
Four people and seven scaly horses soon arrived at a canyon on the edge of the desert. The three extra horses were Ma Yidao, Lang Shiqi, and Cao Shengfei.
"Master Marquis, this is the scale horse given to us. I like the white hooves very much!"
"I originally wanted to go to the city to have a look, but Lord Marquis was thoughtful and sent it to us."
"Haha, I have been coveting the Marquis's scaly horse for a long time, and now I finally got what I wanted, thank you Marquis."
Entering the valley, Ma Yidao and three others came to greet them.
"You have heard about the scaled horse outside the city, but you also know that there is a horse with white hooves?" Li Wenhao looked at his three favorite generals and smiled just now, but he was hit hard and his face turned dark again.
Damn it, the city lord's palace is almost at the vegetable market, do I still have privacy?
When you go back, you must clean things up thoroughly and catch a chicken and kill it!
