In the days when Xiliang was preparing for war, the ambassador from the imperial capital finally arrived, but Li Xiang still stayed behind closed doors and would not see anyone, not even the envoy sent by the emperor.
In fact, I dare not say much about Xiliang territory. This is the hometown of Xiliang. There are a large number of Xiliang headquarters troops in the surrounding areas, as well as a large number of martial arts masters.
Envoys like them will die when they die. At most, the emperor will become furious, and then the relationship between Xiliang and the imperial court will deteriorate.
But will Xiliang care about these problems now?
So their death was in vain. These messengers were very smart and knew what they should and should not do.
They honestly obeyed the arrangements from Xiliang and moved into a place specially designed to entertain envoys. After waiting for a few days, they found out that they really had no chance to see Li Xiang.
They could only complete their tasks first and hand over all the imperial edicts and rewards to Wu Yating.
When Li Xiang was away, Wu Yating was the princess with the highest status among all the people in Xiliang.
Before these envoys arrived, there had long been rumors in the land of Xiliang that the emperor was going to make Prime Minister Li King of Xiliang. When the imperial edict came and was announced, the whole of Xiliang began to stir.
Although in their hearts, they have long disowned the Central Court, who doesn’t want to be recognized by the Central Court?
Even though the power of the Central Court is no longer what it was back then, it is still the orthodoxy of the entire Eastern world. It is still the most powerful existence and the most powerful violent group in the entire Eastern world.
Therefore, it is a happy thing for the ordinary people of Xiliang to be recognized by the central court.
For the officials in Xiliang, this is also a grand event worthy of making them happy, but for the generals in Xiliang and the soldiers and generals of Xiliang headquarters.
This thing is dispensable. Whether the court recognizes Li Xiang as the king of Xiliang is not important in their hearts. What matters is whether Li Xiang wants to be the king.
If Prime Minister Li wanted to become king, he could have done so a few years ago. The recognition from the imperial court did not have much effect in the hearts of these generals and soldiers.
There were only so many things that the emperor could reward, and most of them were luxuries of little use. They were very expensive in the eyes of the wealthy families, and in the eyes of ordinary soldiers and Xiliang generals, they were not as good as a piece of carefully crafted weapons and equipment.
A few years ago, I would have been overjoyed, but now I see the imperial edict hanging in the church, I am just like that.
As mentioned above, he doesn't care whether the imperial court recognizes him or not. All his energy is now focused on how to capture the small grassland.
Arrangements had been made before and troops had been sent out, but the recent news he had received made him feel a little unable to move forward.
"Lord, the armies in Youzhou and Bingzhou are being mobilized closely. Except for the border troops and personnel maintaining local security, the rest of the army is getting ready." The Xiliang soldier in charge of intelligence said: "We expect that they will
When we are fighting with the Xianbei people on the small grassland, they will stab us in the back and force us to bring back the main army on the grassland."
Li Xiang shook his head: "It's not that simple. If they just want to keep the Xianbei people, they only need to send a large army to put pressure on the Liangzhou border before our army is dispatched. Do we still dare to mobilize the large army to the small grassland?
They are waiting for us to start a war with Xiaocaoyuan. Maybe they have already had contact with the Xianbei people on the small grassland. They are just waiting for us to start a war with the Xianbei people and the Xianbei army will entangle the main force of our army.
Then Youzhou merged with the state, and millions of troops from these two areas rushed into our territory of Liangzhou.
It’s definitely not just Youzhou and Bingzhou who are participating in this battle, I feel that Buddhism and Lingjiu Palace will definitely also intervene, otherwise these two regions would not have the guts to fight us.”
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles, so Li Xiang will think about all aspects of things before going to war. Youzhou and Bingzhou have large populations and sufficient troops.
But they lack top-level military force. Their strongest person is only at the Grandmaster level, which means that they are not on the same level as Xiliang in terms of top-level military force.
But if they want to protect themselves, Prime Minister Li can't do anything to them. After all, the assembled army can suppress the practitioners, and the strong evil spirit can restrain the top omnipotent experts who fly into the sky and enter the earth.
Except for Li Xiang, a reckless man, there is no great master in the world who can ride a horse into the enemy's formation, and no great master can become a general.
As a general, you need to deal with too many things every day, and practice is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you don't work hard, how can you break through to the great master.
Therefore, the force value of most generals is not very high, it is enough, and they are not allowed to lead the army to rush out personally.
Because of this flaw, these two regions do not pose much of a threat to Xiliang. There were some frictions between the two sides before, and these two regions were in a defensive state when facing Xiliang.
This time Xiliang takes the initiative to attack, there must be other forces behind to help.
"I feel like there should be Buddhism behind this!" Li Xiang said and narrowed his eyes: "I am the first person to break through in this era, but they have a strong man who has broken through thousands of years ago. As long as that
If someone shows up, I won't be able to participate in the battle.
In terms of top-level military force, our army is equivalent to being abolished. As for the armies in Youzhou and Bingzhou, they also fight against the Qiang and Xianbei people all the year round, and their fighting qualities will not be weaker than those of the three previous families.
This time the pressure is all on our side!”
The officer in charge of intelligence was listening quietly. Li Xiang turned to him and said: "Since they want to fight, let's have a good fight with them. We can take advantage of this opportunity to kill these two people."
Take the place!"
"Pass me an order to order Li Tu and Li Mu to lead an army of 70,000 each, to gather with me at Zhangye County City, and have the Ninth Army draw 100,000 troops over.
From today on, the navy will stop the ships heading to Bingzhou and Youzhou, and the navy will be ready for battle!"
Li Xiang is a person who is not afraid of challenges. Since the other party thinks that they can restrain and block Xiliang with only ordinary troops, then Li Xiang will accompany them to try to see which side is stronger!
"yes!"
The intelligence officer in charge responded loudly, his face full of excitement. This was the first time that the Lord allowed three of the five marshals to participate in the war.
