Li Xingzai frowned. One or two defeats were nothing to Li Xingzai now. It was no better than before. He had the confidence and he could afford to lose.
But defeating Ma Mengqi within ten moves is a bit scary when you think about it. Ma Mengqi is already the number one general under Li Xingzai, and he can be defeated easily. It is terrifying to think about it carefully.
But there was no famous general named Lu in his mind. Li Xingzai thought carefully and found that neither the Rong clan nor the empire had heard of it.
Could it be that he came from Liangzhou...
Cheng Dalei always hides something unexpected in his hands. If he really did it, people wouldn't be surprised.
Even Li Xingzai could not imagine that his guess was infinitely close to the truth.
After comforting Ma Mengqi for a few more words, Li Xingzai stood up and left. No matter what, this matter must be taken seriously. Now that he is very close to the final position, he must not make any more mistakes.
"What's going on in the northwest recently?"
Back at his command post, Li Xingzai had just sat down and couldn't wait to ask Song Youqu.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the northwest Liangzhou Army has just defeated Luo Yi's troops and captured Lingchuan City without a single blow. Now they have controlled most of Jingzhou. Not long ago, they sent someone to deliver a message asking Your Majesty when they will attack Chang'an?" Song Youqu reported.
Report.
"Is the fight over so soon?" Li Xingzai snorted, and he also admired the Northwest Army led by Cheng Dalei.
Jingzhou has gathered most of the Rong tribe, and the elites of the Rong tribe are all arranged here. Therefore, the enemies Cheng Dalei faces are no easier than Li Xingzai. But Cheng Dalei's movements are faster than Li Xingzai's.
The battle on Li Xingzai's side has not yet ended, and Cheng Dalei has ended the battle in Jingzhou ahead of schedule.
"Reply to them and ask them to calm down for a while. I will be there soon."
Song Youqu agreed and said, "Is there any information about Cheng Dalei?"
"What happened to him?" Li Xingzai asked curiously.
Song Travel Channel: "Since the army sent troops to Jingzhou, Cheng Dalei has taken in many women, either contributed by big families from various places, or they were female prisoners after the city was broken. Cheng Dalei hangs out with these women all day long, indulges in drinking and sex, and sings and dances."
Li Xingzai couldn't help but laugh, and then waved his hands, feeling a little uneasy inside.
Romantic, but Cheng Dalei was not a very romantic person in the past. Now his behavior is very different from before. It is obvious that he did it intentionally and showed it to others.
The key is, who is he doing it for?
Li Xingzai secretly wondered in his heart whether Cheng Dalei was doing this on purpose, to express his feelings to him, or to hide his feelings on purpose.
I have to guard against it.
Perhaps, it's time to find someone to check on Cheng Dalei.
After a moment of silence, Li Xingzai said: "I plan to send someone to the northwest. Do you know of anyone who can help me?"
Song Youqu thought for a while and said, "How about Li Shuangyang?"
"He can't do it." Li Xingzai shook his head and directly rejected the person recommended by Song Youqu.
Li Xingzai also knew Li Shuangyang. He was from an academy and was well-read in poetry and literature. After careful calculation, he had some connections with the royal family. Now that Li Xingzai was so popular, he recognized Li Xingzai as his adoptive father. In fact, he was no younger than Li Xingzai.
How old.
He was a well-rounded person who could talk to others and talk to ghosts. He was quite popular among the Jiangnan Army.
However, people who are popular will have correspondingly poor abilities.
Cheng Dalei is an extremely cunning and despicable person. He asked Li Shuangyang to find out Cheng Dalei's background. He probably helped him count the money after he was sold out.
Song Youqu frowned and said, "Does Your Majesty have anyone in mind?"
Li Xingzai thought for a while and said, "How about letting General Hua go?"
Song Youqu was stunned: "Can she do it?"
Li Xingzai smiled: "Why can't she?"
The war has reached this point, and the Rong people are no longer in danger. They can only wait for the army to arrive in Chang'an City to end the last battle.
After a series of wars, Li Xingzai's generals have grown up rapidly, and Hua Mulan is not the only one who can lead them.
Moreover, this time for contact with the Northwest Army, someone with a certain status must be brought forward. After much thought, Hua Mulan was actually the most suitable one.
With Hua Mulan as the leader and Li Shuangyang as the assistant, a team of people was dispatched to the northwest. The euphemistic name was to discuss the alliance of the two armies, but in fact it was to explore Cheng Dalei's background and see what his plans were after expelling the Rong tribe.
…
The Jiangnan Army rushed to Chang'an City and annihilated the last Rong tribe. At this time, Cheng Dalei had completed his formation in the northwest of Chang'an. When Li Xingzai arrived at Chang'an City, he could launch the final battle.
In the empty space between the two sides, there are the Rong tribe who are fleeing for their lives in embarrassment. Some of them fled to the grassland, and most of them poured into Chang'an City. They also wanted to use the city of Chang'an City to have a final battle with the imperial army in order to lose power.
The Rong tribe saved some face.
This is considered normal. Everyone's movements can be predicted and do not exceed the overall situation of this chaotic world.
The outcome on the chessboard becomes increasingly clear. Every chess piece is trying its best, but it cannot change the final outcome. All it does is speed up the development of the situation.
However, at this time, a chess piece entered the chess game. He was not in the plan, and what he did surprised everyone.
In the blank space in the middle, a big man appeared. He was holding a Fangtian painted halberd and riding a black horse. He asked everyone he met:
"Where is my Diao Chan?"
The imperial army thought he was from the Rong tribe, and the Rong tribe thought he was from the empire. In the end, both sides confirmed one thing at the same time: there was something wrong with this man's head.
However, he also had an astonishingly high force value. The Rong clan and the Imperial Army fought against him in turns, and very few people could survive ten rounds in his hands.
In this era, strength is the rule, regardless of whether there is something wrong with his head.
There were gradually defeated vassals behind him, from a few hundred at the beginning to three to five thousand later, and it was obvious that he had become a force that cannot be ignored in this land.
This was a gust of wind that chilled the three Rong tribes in the northwest Jiangnan. Li Xingzai and Nohara Huo sent people out to recruit him. If he can be used for his own purposes, he will naturally become the strongest weapon in his hands, which is better than falling.
It's good to reach the enemy.
This gust of wind naturally hit Cheng Dalei's ears. Now the other two parties sent people out, but Cheng Dalei looked at the naked Diao Chan in his arms and felt a little headache.
It really shouldn't be.
The two of them had just been having fun, and now Diao Chan was leaning on Cheng Dalei's shoulder, with a lingering charm on her face.
By now, Cheng Dalei already knows what kind of monster he has created. Now that the other party is clamoring to find Diao Chan, it has become a treasure in his house, so of course he will not give it away.
Cheng Dalei tapped his forehead. It seemed that it was really necessary to ask what kind of background the system had arranged for Diao Chan.
