Li Xu's eyes became darker and darker. On the surface, it seemed that Song Chengxuan was in control of everything, but if you think about it carefully, there were many loopholes in Song Chengxuan's plan.
No matter how powerful Captain Ma is, the number of soldiers and horses he can mobilize is limited after all, and all the advantages and disadvantages of standing guard are the disadvantages. Those guard posts with built fortifications must not be thrown away, otherwise they will be used as wedding dresses for others. Several guard posts have divided Governor Ma
The soldiers and horses in his hands made it difficult for him to get away to help Song Chengxuan.
Li Xu said: "Which guardhouse will Governor Ma go to next?"
Zhang Hu immediately pointed to the map: "Duoyan Guard."
Governor Ma wanted to stop him to the south of Duoyan Guard. Further north from Duoyan Guard was Fuyu Guard. After the Haixi tribe was in chaos, Xu Qinghuan led the Haixi tribe to Fuyu Guard to avoid the disaster of war. Song Chengxuan's soldiers and horses
They were also fighting against the Yu family nearby. Song Chengxuan was afraid that Xu Qinghuan would be in danger, so he asked Captain Ma to occupy the surrounding guard posts to fight against him.
Let Governor Ma restrain him, and Song Chengxuan will unexpectedly raise his troops to attack. If he loses in the first battle, his vitality will be greatly damaged.
If this were anywhere else, he might have lost, but it's a pity that it's a slave job here.
Nu'ergan is a vast area with few people. Although there are countless guard posts, many of them are just decorations and can be destroyed with one strike. This is why he dared to enter Nuerqian. No matter how dense the fishing nets are, without taking the overall situation into consideration, it is just like drawing water from a bamboo basket.
Now that he saw Song Chengxuan's intentions clearly, he could also find Song Chengxuan's weaknesses.
The soldiers and horses of Song Chengxuan and Ma Dudu were deployed around Fuyu Guard. Song Chengxuan cared so much about Fuyu Guard that he naturally did not dare to stray too far from Fuyu Guard.
Although the Yu family was outclassed, they still had soldiers and horses around them, and could attack Fuyu Guards at any time, not to mention the Tatar army.
Zhou Yue came back with news that the situation of the guards in the Onan and Ququ rivers was very dangerous. Jin Yue Khan's cavalry troops were approaching the city, and the guards could barely support him. This situation was something he had expected. Jin Yue Khan wanted to get out of the city.
The invasion of the Great Zhou Dynasty by the Onan River must have gone through careful arrangements. Once the attack was launched, the troops would not retreat easily.
The Yu family and the Tatars were like two chains binding Song Chengxuan's hands. As long as he stayed far away from Fuyu Wei, Song Chengxuan would be out of reach. On the contrary, he had no restraints and could look for opportunities to attack Song Chengxuan.
Li Xu ordered: "Don't take Song Chengxuan lightly. Order the army to go west and stay away from Fuyu Guard." In this way, Song Chengxuan would not dare to pursue him any longer.
"Sir," the guard said as he entered the door, "the Yu family has come to ask for help."
Li Xu looked calm: "Bring it here."
In a short time, someone entered the Chinese army's tent. The man looked very embarrassed. His soft armor was in tatters and his arms were wrapped in a thick cloth. Blood had seeped out from under the cloth. He raised his head and looked at Li
Xu: "Jiulang, I finally found you."
Li Xu saw that the man in front of him was Mr. Yu.
Second Master Yu's face was ugly, and his lips were split and bloody. He seemed to have experienced a great disaster of life and death, and he looked like a completely different person compared to the noble prince-like appearance he had before.
Seeing that Li Xu didn't speak, Second Master Yu spoke again in a hurry: "Jiulang, go and save my sister. She is now in the hands of Song Chengxuan, and she is living a life worse than death every day. If you go too late, I'm afraid
Her life is at risk."
As Mr. Yu said this, he walked towards Li Xu. Before he could get close to Li Xu, he was blocked by Zhang Hu.
Second Master Yu looked at Zhang Hu in surprise: "What are you going to do? Jiulang and I are old friends, and we are also relatives by marriage. I have something to say to Jiulang."
Not only did Zhang Hu not leave, but he held the sword at his waist and said, "Don't be presumptuous in front of my young master."
Second Master Yu swallowed a gulp, with vague anger in his eyes. He immediately looked at Li Xu: "Jiulang, your subordinates are so ignorant of etiquette that they treat me like this. You... hurry up and scold him..."
There was no expression on Li Xu's face, and he had no intention of speaking.
Seeing such a situation, Mr. Yu panicked and said, "Li Xu, don't you recognize me? We met in Chang'an. My second uncle got angry with you before, but I was the one who reconciled it. At that time, you were too embarrassed to agree to the agreement between the two.
I will also help you with your family's marriage.
Our Yu family came to Nuergan to help you, but we didn’t expect to end up like this... Didn’t you bring troops to Nuergan just to rescue us? My father’s life or death is uncertain, and my sister has also been arrested. Jiulang, you can follow me.
Go and rescue them. After we rescue them, we can work as slaves together. We are a family!
My sister has been praising you before, saying that you are a loyal minister of the imperial court and a new nobleman around the emperor. Although you have been arrested by the imperial court, my sister is convinced that the Li family is definitely not a traitor to the party of King Jian, and the imperial court will definitely find out.
In short, when the Li family has reached that point, we not only do not dislike it but also help wholeheartedly. Jiulang, you cannot abandon our Yu family and my sister at this time.
Besides, my sister was injured like that because of Mrs. Li. In order to pave the way for you, she came all the way to Nuerqian and borrowed military rations for you. Now she is arrested and questioned again. A good person has been raped by them.
You can't change your mind when you look like that.
Now I heard that you...you are...the descendant of King Jian..."
King Jian is a traitor to the party. If the Yu family had known Li Xu's identity before, they would never have entered this muddy water. But now it is too late. Mr. Yu licked his lips: "We don't need to care about this.
I am still willing to join forces with you. As long as we work together to fight against the enemy, we can have a place in Nuergan."
Li Xu finally raised his eyes.
Second Master Yu couldn't help but shudder, Li Xu's eyes were as cold as ice, without the slightest emotion.
Li Xu said calmly: "Did I promise to marry the Yu family?"
Second Master Yu felt dizzy: "Although we didn't say it explicitly, we..."
Li Xu interrupted Mr. Yu and said, "Have you discussed with me when the Yu family came to Nuergan? You gathered troops at the guard station and went to attack the Haixi tribe in order to hold Nuergan in the hands of your Yu family and fight with them."
What does it matter to me?"
Second Master Yu stood there frozen, looking at Li Xu blankly: "You...how can you say that? Although we haven't said it, we already have that intention in private, otherwise how could my third sister be devoted to you.
How could a woman plan for you without hesitation without getting a hint? You can't do this."
"My young master was implicated by your Yu family," Zhang Hu said with an angry face, "If your Yu family hadn't been in such a bad situation, my young master's identity would not have been known, let alone raising troops in such a hurry."
Second Master Yu's lips twitched, and he said after a while: "Then who do we, the Yu family, have to blame? We, the Yu family, have been stationed at the border for generations, but we unexpectedly turned out to be rebels in the end. Who should we blame?"
Li Xu, you will be punished by God for being so heartless and unrighteous."
