In front of Kuyue City, between the sturdy middle-aged man and the skinny old man in the portrait, who is Wan Yanmian, the leader of the Black Jue Tribe?
Such confusion suddenly came to Li Danqing's mind.
If that's not what's on the portrait, then why did the Liao soldier bring this portrait with him? To confuse us?
But how could he know that he would be captured? Then prepare such a portrait in advance?
Such an inference is obviously untenable.
But if it wasn't Wan Yanmian who was in front of the battle that day, who could it be? Why did the real Wan Yanmian hide? What was he afraid of? Could it be that he was afraid of dying on this battlefield?
He is a strong man in the Martial Lord Realm. As long as a guy like this doesn't want to die, even if he faces an army of 200,000 men alone, he should have a high probability of successfully escaping...
etc!
Li Danqing's face suddenly changed when he thought of this. He grasped the key to the matter. Wan Yanmian was a powerful person at the level of Wu Jun, and that day outside Kuyue City, the Liao people's strategic purpose was to surround and kill Li Danqing.
It was for Li Danqing's contact with the main force. Secondly, he believed that Li Danqing was a great threat to the Liao people and wanted to kill him.
There is indeed nothing wrong with this kind of combat method, and the Liao army also implemented their combat ideas very well.
But the problem is that compared to the loss of tens of thousands of Liao troops, the Liao people clearly have a better solution...
Wan Yanmian is a strong man at the level of Wujun. If he wants to, he can stage a scene where thousands of troops take the enemy general's head. With his strength, it is not difficult to kill Li Danqing, so what?
Will the Liao army lose tens of thousands of people due to multi-front fighting?
In fact, Li Danqing secretly recalled the scene of the battle at that time. As long as Wan Yanmian took action at the moment when he led the Blackwater army to break through the encirclement and rushed into the Liao army's formation, his charge had already made him and
The army broke away, and he had no way to advance or retreat. Under the intimidation of a strong man of Wujun level, he had no chance of survival.
It was impossible that Wan Yanmian could not analyze such a situation with his knowledge, and it was impossible for him to ruin his elite men like this while he stood by and watched.
If you put it this way, the person who was in front of the Liao army that day was definitely not Wan Yanmian himself!
But if it wasn't Wan Yanmian, where did Wan Yanmian go, and why did he need to come to such a place, the drama of peach generation and Li Jang.
Li Danqing's mind was filled with confusion. He had a vague answer in his heart, but he did not dare to touch the answer.
"What's wrong with the prince?"
Seeing Li Danqing standing there blankly, everyone around him was a little strange. At this time, Gongsun Zhi also stepped forward and asked.
After hearing this question, Li Danqing turned his head with a wry smile, but did not answer. He just said: "Wan Yanmian in this portrait is not the same person I saw that day..."
"Huh?" After these words came out, everyone was stunned and stepped forward to take the portrait from Li Danqing's hand.
When the war broke out outside Kuyue City, everyone faced different situations. Of course, not everyone had seen Wan Yanmian's appearance, but people such as Liu Zizai, Gongsun Zhi and others who rushed to rescue Li Danqing.
I had seen it before, and when I took the portrait and took a look, I saw that the old man in the portrait was completely different from the middle-aged man with a heavy back and a strong back.
Everyone looked stunned, Liu Zizai frowned and shouted: "This old boy, does he look like this?"
"You said he
Why are you so cowardly that you don’t even dare to go to the battlefield and come into contact with us, so you sent a puppet here? You must be afraid of my heir apparent like a tiger!”
Liu Zizai was a rough man, and of course he understood that Li Danqing must be in a very low mood after the huge defeat. When he found this opportunity, he naturally wanted to belittle Wan Yanmian, trying to make Li Danqing happy.
For a rough guy like him, this is probably the best he can do.
However, when he said these words, he received no response from Li Danqing, and everyone around him also cast disapproving glances at him.
Liu Zizai, who was a little frightened by such a look, looked confused. He blinked and asked, "I...did I say something wrong?"
No one responded to Liu Zizai's question. Everyone looked at Li Danqing at this moment. After hearing this, everyone here more or less realized something in their hearts, but it had to be done by Li Danqing after all.
Make a decision.
Li Danqing felt this, he shook his head, and immediately said: "You guys should step back first, I have to think about it."
When everyone heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, looking a little helpless, but in the end they still had no intention of disobeying Li Danqing at this time, and they all left with doubts.
…
The night was already dark, and the wind and snow outside the tent were even worse. Li Danqing sat alone in the tent, looking at the sand table made of stones and snow in front of him, lost in thought.
Xia Xianyin and Qingzhu walked into the camp at this time. Li Danqing heard the sound and looked up, and saw that it was the two of them, which made him feel relieved.
"I've been here for an hour, let's have something to eat." Xia Xianyin said with some complaints, and then handed over the wooden plate in his hand.
Li Danqing nodded and took the food from the wooden plate. When he took a closer look, he saw that there was not only some dry food on it, but also two fragrant beef patties.
Li Danqing frowned and asked, "Where does this come from?"
He had heard from Gongsun Zhi before that although the army had temporarily escaped the Liao people's pursuit during this breakout, most of the supplies had been lost, and because they had penetrated deep into the hinterland of the four counties, they were cut off from the supply lines at the rear.
Today's army only has enough food and grass to last for five days. This beef cake is a luxury item.
"General Mang collected it from the hands of some Liao people when he was setting up camp. I gave it to you to replenish your health just after you recovered." Xia Xianyin said.
Li Danqing picked up the beef patty, put it to the tip of his nose, sniffed it, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that one day, Mang Ku and I would actually join forces."
"People are all changeable. At least in this aspect, Mangku is much better than those officials in Wuyang City." Xia Xianyin also sighed at this time as he took over the conversation.
Li Danqing didn't answer this, but just put the beef cake back, picked up a piece of dry food from it and said: "My body is much stronger than ordinary people. As long as I have one life, I will survive in a few days."
You will be fully recovered. Distribute these meat pies to the injured soldiers."
Li Danqing's words made Xia Xianyin frown slightly. She wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qing Zhu on the side.
"You've been here for more than an hour, have you figured it out?" Qingzhu asked.
She looked straight at Li Danqing, and the flashing light in her eyes seemed to penetrate Li Danqing from the inside out.
Li Danqing
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No..."
Before he finished speaking, a pair of hands was stretched out by Qingzhu and placed on the back of Li Danqing's hand.
Li Danqing looked at the other party in astonishment, but saw Qingzhu's gentle eyebrows and said, "Do you know why Chai Hongyun risked his life to save you?"
When this question came out, Xia Xianyin's heart skipped a beat.
Chai Hongyun died because of Li Danqing. This is an indisputable fact. Everyone understands how great the impact of Chai Hongyun's death was on Li Danqing. Therefore, after Li Danqing regained consciousness, everyone was very taboo and unwilling to mention the matter.
At this moment, Qingzhu broke through the window paper, and Xia Xianyin couldn't help but feel worried in her heart.
Qingzhu didn't seem to care about Li Danqing's mood. She continued: "It's because I believe in you. I believe that only you can lead us to win this battle."
"You have the ability to make correct judgments. Don't doubt yourself just because you make a mistake. General Li often said that victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. There is no way to always be victorious and undefeated."
"If you believe in yourself, we can continue to believe in you, and you can live up to Chai Hongyun and the others!"
Qingzhu had been with Li Danqing for many years and could see Li Danqing's hesitation at a glance. In fact, when he saw the portrait, Li Danqing had his own answer in his heart.
However, previous failures and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people made Li Danqing become hesitant and less sure of his own judgment.
Qingzhu's words were like a dose of good medicine, giving Li Danqing an enlightenment at that moment.
He looked sideways at Qingzhu, the expression on his face was intriguing.
At this moment, Qingzhu struck the iron while the iron was hot and said: "We have followed you, and now we have reached a situation where we are surrounded by enemies from both sides. Whatever you want to do, just do it boldly. No matter what the outcome is, we will always be with you. Furthermore,
No matter what you do, it's better than starving to death or freezing to death in this ice and snow, right?"
"Before coming here, Gongsun Zhi, Mang Ku and He Feibai all said this to me. Their thoughts are the same as mine. As for City Lord Liu and Senior Fang, they are both General Li's old subordinates. You don't need to doubt them if you come here.
Since our loyalty has reached the end of the road, let us give it a final try. We believe in you, and we ask you to believe in yourself!"
When Li Danqing heard this, he was silent for a while, and finally said: "I think my previous inference was not wrong."
"Huh?" Qingzhu was stunned when he heard this.
"The Liao people definitely didn't deliberately stay in Kuyue Mountain to lure us. They must be using Kuyue Mountain to do something. That matter is so important that even Wan Yanmian, the leader of the Black Jue Tribe, cannot escape.
You can only rely on a puppet to fight us."
"But the Liao people's tactics and their dark soldiers were something we didn't expect, so they were caught off guard..."
Li Danqing said at this time, Qingzhu thought seriously for a while after hearing this, then she looked at Li Danqing and said: "So, do you think we should go back?"
Li Danqing glanced at Qingzhu, and also pondered for a while. He looked at the sand table, stretched out one hand to hold the white stone that represented their remnant, lifted it, and then placed it heavily.
Located on the west side, it stands on the black stone representing the Seoju-gun Seorangbu.
"No!"
"We should continue to march westward and directly capture the Blue Wolf Division, the leader of the four divisions!"
