"How many days has it been?" Li Xiang opened his eyes and saw the white beard of the old Taoist Qingsong. He sat up from the bed and asked, "Has the battlefield been cleaned up?"
Old Taoist Qingsong put down the teacup: "Aren't you worried about your health?"
Li Xiang narrowed it down: "I know my own body best. I feel very good now. After the injury recovers, I may be able to take a step closer!"
Qingsong smiled helplessly: "Five days have passed since your training. Everything you can bring on the battlefield has been gathered together, just waiting for the transportation team to arrive!"
Li Xiangzhuo nodded: "Has anyone been sent over from the military city?"
"Military City?" Qingsong recalled in his mind. He seemed to have never heard of the force of Military City: "I don't know about Military City, but the troops from the Great Wall Legion rushed to the battlefield to help the army clean up the battlefield. There are a few people
He wanted to get some ferocious beast crystal cores, but was killed on the spot by General Gao Yuan's soldiers.
Those people are good at cleaning up the battlefield, but they are a bit weak!"
"The Great Wall Legion is a military city!" Li Xiang opened the quilt and put on his shoes: "Help me call Wei Yi over. I have something to ask him!"
"Yeah!" Qingsong's spiritual consciousness unfolded and found Wei Yi who was discussing something with a few Xiliang soldiers. He turned to what Li Xiang said and took back his spiritual consciousness.
Wei Yi trotted to Li Xiang's residence with a pile of animal skins.
"Lord!" Wei Yi saluted respectfully: "This is the list of casualties of this army!"
Wei Yi has been sorting out the number of casualties in the army these days. These things must be sorted out and no one can be missed. This is related to the replenishment of troops in each department!
If he reported falsely, underreported, or overreported, it would be difficult for everyone when it was found out, so he checked again and again to get the exact number of casualties in the army.
Li Xiang took the animal skin and looked at the numbers above. In this battle, Xiliang's army lost 15,000 people, and more than 5,000 people had to retreat. However, they also killed 100,000 ferocious beasts.
There are more than 60,000 ferocious beast crystal cores, ferocious beast furs, ferocious beast meat, etc. worth over one million taels of gold!
However, if the people from the military city came earlier, they might not have to lose so many people. Li Xiang originally thought that these people would only delay for a while, but he did not expect that these people would directly delay him for more than ten days. When the battle is over,
Come out again!
Is this an attempt to get a bargain?
Li Xiang felt angry in his heart. If he had been in the past, he would have taken action at this time, but now he needs to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Transport all the corpses of the soldiers who died in the battle back, and even take away the people from General Gao Yuan!" Li Xiang put down the animal skin: "I want to make arrangements. I want to meet the people in the military city. I think I heard
Tell them their reasons!"
"yes!"
....
After receiving the news of Prime Minister Li's summons, the senior officials of the military city were a little uneasy. They had already made good excuses for themselves, but when they really had to face Prime Minister Li, they were at a loss.
Zhao Yuling didn't know what Li Xiang was planning, but one thing she knew was that this time Li Xiang was really angry!
If she were Li Xiang, she would also be very angry. It took more than ten days to complete the two-day journey and the battle was over before she came to clean up the battlefield!
A group of people anxiously came to the place chosen by Li Xiang, on the top of Dingjun Mountain. Zhao Yuling saw that there were several psychic cannons that had not been put away.
The shock that this weapon brought to her has not dissipated. The deep muzzle and the mysterious patterns on the cannon make people want to explore it!
Zhao Yukun followed his sister quietly. This time they were going to face Li Xiang, the king of Xiliang. He had met Li Xiang several times before, but at that time, he was still the young master of the Zhao family, and his status was much higher than that of Li Xiang.
.
But now that Prime Minister Li is the king of Xiliang, the entire Xiliang must obey Prime Minister Li's orders. He has hundreds of thousands of troops and two great masters in his hands. It is not easy to say that it is not difficult to destroy their military city.
!
Soon everyone saw Li Xiang, dressed in white robes, lying on an armchair, and an old man in a Taoist robe next to him was making tea.
Li Xiang turned around and saw everyone, and sat up: "Hey! You are here. I thought it would take more than ten days for you to arrive. After all, it is several miles away from the outside to the top of Dingjun Mountain, and there are many
The corpse of a ferocious beast blocks the road.
Why did you all come so fast?"
Hearing what Li Xiang said, Zhao Yukun's face was full of shame. The head of the Liu family and the heads of the other three big families were all extremely thick-skinned. When he heard what Li Xiang said, Liu Guoliang said with a smile: "The King of Xiliang is joking.
Yes, everything from the foot of the mountain to the top has been repaired by your soldiers, and the corpses of all kinds of ferocious beasts have been cleaned up on the road. We just came here empty-handed, so the speed will naturally be fast."
Several other family patriarchs looked at Liu Guoliang with strange eyes. Wasn't this irritating Prime Minister Li?
"That's it!" Li Xiang lay down after listening: "It means that we, Xiliang, have the obligation to help you prepare everything so that you can go faster?"
Liu Guoliang lowered his head: "After all, the military city is a big city with millions of people. If you want to go fast, the roads need to be repaired, but thank you for your hard work.
Several of our families work together..."
"Stop!" Li Xiang turned his head to the side and said to Qingsong: "Taoist Master, help me tell the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion that the fireworks can be set off!"
Qingsong nodded and gave orders to the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion behind him. Those soldiers adjusted themselves to run away. At this moment, more than a dozen flying ferocious beasts suddenly flew up in the sky. They nervously left the ground and flew into the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There were violent sounds in the sky, and the dozen or so ferocious beasts instantly turned into a rain of blood.
Zhao Yukun and several family patriarchs focused their attention on the muzzle of the cannon and what kind of war weapon it was. They could just see that the vicious beasts in the sky were releasing evil energy to protect them, but they could not block the attack of this weapon!
Li Xiang turned to Zhao Yuling and said: "I remember that it was your military city that came to ask for help, and you have agreed to all my requests.
Before I started the war with the army of ferocious beasts, I remember very clearly that I needed the military city troops to contain some ferocious beasts for me, and you all gave me answers!"
"It's a two-day journey, I can allow you to delay it for two or three days, but you guys, you delayed it for more than ten days, and the battle was over before you rushed to the battlefield. Do you want to come to collect the corpses of my Xiliang army?
?”
Zhao Yukun bit the bullet and said: "King Xiliang, it's not that we don't want to rush to the battlefield early, but our army is carrying a lot of baggage and cannot speed up, so we can only send the most elite Gao Yuan Division to rush to the battlefield to support!"
"What kind of baggage can take your 80,000 troops more than ten days to deliver? I wonder if it would be convenient for me to take a look?"
"..." Zhao Yukun looked at the patriarchs of several big families, wanting these people to speak out. Zhao Yuling said: "King Xiliang, this matter is the fault of our army. We are willing to compensate, and the four major families are willing to
Give away one-third of the supplies from your own clan, and as compensation, my Zhao family will also take out one-third of the supplies from our own warehouse!"
"Supplies?" Li Xiang squinted at everyone: "Do we, Xiliang, lack supplies? In this battle, our army harvested 60,000 ferocious beast crystal cores, and has twelve large Yuanshi mines in hand, as well as the number of medium and small Yuanshi mines.
There are more than fifty seats.
Do you think I, Xiliang, lack money?"
"Moreover!" Li Xiang laughed: "Are the things in the military city still yours?"
Liu Guoliang and others' expressions changed drastically: "King of Xiliang, what do you mean?"
Li Xiang chuckled: "I don't mean anything, I just want to see if the walls of your military city can block my Xiliang psychic cannon. This time because of time constraints, I only brought 500 of them, but
It should be enough, after all, you don’t have many Yuan Stones in your military city!”
Zhao Yuling had seen the terror of psychic cannons with her own eyes. Even ferocious beasts could not withstand the attack of this weapon. How could the walls of their military city be able to stop it?
"King of Xiliang, we can still discuss it!"
"Discuss?" Li Xiang sat up and picked up the tea made by Taoist Qingsong: "I don't know what you want to discuss? The next time Xiliang recruits your troops, you will rush to the battlefield a year later?
Do you know why I came to support you? It's because your Great Wall Army has blocked countless attacks from the beast army for the civilians in the northwest. I admire your ancestors. In addition, General Gao Yuan's troops are fighting against the beast army.
The fighting ability shown in the battle is the reason why I came."
Li Xiang shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity that I, Li Xiang, became a victim. My army lost 20,000 people in this battle!
There are 20,000 Xiliang headquarters soldiers. The biggest responsibility for their deaths this time is me, my lord. If I hadn’t insisted on going north, they wouldn’t have had to go north to fight the ferocious beast!"
Zhao Yuling lowered her head: "I don't know, King Xiliang, what are you going to do?"
The senior officials of the military city are also looking forward to Xiang Li's words, and this time they are ready to be cut off.
Li Xiang stood up: "I'll give you two choices. Choose one. From today on, I will hand over all the military power in your hands. From now on, the major families will no longer have military power. Even the slave army needs to be dispersed. Things in the family treasury
, my Xiliang army will take half of it!
Option two, let’s go to war, and I’ll kill all the members of your major families, so that no one will stop me from ruling the military city!”
There was a cold murderous intent behind Xiang Li's words, which made the senior officials of these military cities feel a deep chill!
Liu Guoliang endured the biting cold: "Is there no other choice?"
Li Xiang looked at everyone and shook his head: "There is no other choice. Of course you can also choose to kill me, otherwise you only have the first two choices, and I only give you a cup of tea. When I finish drinking this cup of tea,
If you haven't made a choice yet, then you should default to the second option.
As an enemy, I will let you sleep together with the ferocious beasts on Dingjun Mountain!"
Li Xiangshi really doesn't have the patience to continue wasting with these people. Instead of wasting them like that, it would be better to deal with them all at once!
He has to decide the population and various supplies of the military city, and Xuantian Sect doesn't want to interfere!
Having two great masters is his confidence, Prime Minister Li!
Thinking about the tea in the tea cup that Li Xiang picked up, he drank all the water in one gulp. He always likes to drink tea in one gulp, taste tea and other things. He is a reckless man, does he need to learn that?
Zhao Yuling and others thought that Li Xiang would give her and them a little time, but in the blink of an eye, Li Xiang finished the tea.
She remembered Prime Minister Li’s nickname outside the Pass, Rentu!
This is a title obtained by killing countless people, which makes the most vicious people outside the customs feel scared when they hear this name and dare not take action against them.
After drinking the tea, Li Xiang realized that this cup of tea seemed to be no ordinary tea, it represented a different meaning.
Damn!
The Qingfeng sword Qingsong placed beside him had already flown out, and the people in the military city felt a pressure. They knew very well that the old man in Taoist robes was a great master.
"We are willing to surrender!" Liu Guoliang and others immediately shouted: "We choose two, choose two!"
The reason why their family has developed is because they are afraid of death!
There are many families in the Great Wall Legion, and there have been many grand masters in those families. But why those families have not become big families is because those people fought bravely and to the death against the king of the ferocious beast clan for Yumen Pass.
The strongest members of the family died in battle one after another, and the rest became nothing more.
The four of them will protect themselves wisely. As long as it is dangerous, they will not do it if they can. Even if they are scolded, they will not say anything in return.
In this way, their family grew little by little and became one of the strongest families in the military city.
Now that the talent in the military city is declining, the four great masters of their family have become the four strongest people in the city!
Now faced with a choice, their family naturally chose to preserve the family. They had no power to resist facing Xiliang City.
Moreover, military power has nothing to do with the four families. Military power belongs to the Zhao family. They just lost the materials in the treasure house!
Zhao Yuling looked at Zhao Yukun with a low look: "My Zhao family is willing to surrender!"
If they don't surrender, the only thing waiting for them is massacre. Li Xiang does what he says, but maybe this is also an opportunity!
Seeing the scene in front of him, Qingsong couldn't help but be a little surprised by Li Xiang. The city lord, a man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, actually learned to use skills!
Li Xiang did not expect that such a scene would appear in front of him. He was really thirsty just now and just wanted to take a sip of tea, but he became like this.
But this change is quite good!
After the military city surrendered, they followed the Xiliang army to transport the corpses of the beasts to a huge warehouse on the border of the Jiuyuan Army. This was a warehouse specially used to store the meat of the beasts. It contained ice formations that could freeze the meat of the beasts.
Seal it so that the meat of the ferocious beast will not spoil.
Some ferocious animal meat was also transported to various places and became food for the army.
On the other side of the military city, Li Yi led the Eighth Legion, 3,000 heavy armored cavalry, and 5,000 Xiliang cavalry to the enemy. Li Xiang was escorted by the bodyguard cavalry and Qingsong back to Jiuyuan County.
