The person closest to me should be his master. Did he ever say sorry to himself during the days when he taught him martial arts? He never remembered it. What is unforgettable is the inhumane torture and humiliation that his master would endure when he was drunk.

Gongsun Xiaoniang's heart softened, so it was best to walk a little slower so that the people in front could secretly shed some tears and pretend they didn't see it.

After Li Luo and Gongsun Xiaoniang left Xiaoxing Mountain, Li Luo could only keep these regrets and worries deep in his heart, listening to Gongsun Xiaoniang talk about the situation in Daganbei Mansion.

After hearing this, although the current situation was not enough to make Li Luo's heart sink, it could not help but give Li Luo a chill in his heart.

The Mongolian tribes joining Caohai's march south seems to have a slightly different meaning than in the past. At the moment, Li Luo can't guess what it is. Maybe he will realize it when he sees the Mongolian army.

An accident occurred in Xiu Tong's branch in Yanlou. Li Luo escaped from death and avoided being chased and intercepted by Caohai masters along the way. The situation in Mobei was unclear. Now that he heard Gongsun Xiaoniang's story, Li Luo had some rough understanding.

information.

Three days, only three days, the Mongolian cavalry broke through the Lima Pass and sent their troops south.

In less than a month, half of Yeliang Prefecture was under the control of the Mongolian and Caohai cavalry.

Nowadays, Caohai tribes have stationed 100,000 troops at the gate of Jianbei City, and have fought several battles with the Dingbei Army. With the Mongols' new victorious momentum, the Dingbei Army was unable to withstand the sharpness of Caohai's cavalry for a while, and retreated to Jianbei City.

, relying on the tall and thick walls of Jianbei City to block the elite soldiers from going south, but they still have more defense and less attack, so it is difficult to achieve anything.

Fortunately, although the Dingbei Army was retreating steadily, its muscles and bones had not been injured. Now they are reinforcing their troops in Jianbei City to stop their decline, hoping to fight again in the future.

After hearing about the battle in Yeliangzhou, Li Luo frowned. Even if the Caohai cavalry could defeat them, it would be unbelievable to say that they could capture the Lima Pass guarded by Longxiang Camp of the Dingbei Army within three days.

Prince Chun put a lot of effort into Lima Pass, spending countless manpower and material resources to build a Beifu border fortress, and the famous general Mu Gui fortress guarded it. In terms of reputation alone, it is not far behind the Xiongguan Yingchou Gorge in Xifu.

Such a strategic military location that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, Li Luo thought that he had no confidence that he could conquer it within three days.

Li Luo was worried about the war in Yeliangzhou, but Gongsun Xiaoniang didn't know much about it. The two of them drove non-stop across Yanchenzhou and headed straight to the north of the stream in Yeliangzhou City.

Yeliangzhou, Jianbeicheng.

Today's Jianbei City is no longer what it was when Li Luo came. It is still prosperous, but the lively and comfortable feeling is gone.

There are elite soldiers and generals guarding both inside and outside the city gate, strictly checking the travelers passing by. Flags are waving on the city wall, and the soldiers have a solemn expression on their faces, staring at the surrounding areas outside the city in cold silence. From time to time, patrolling soldiers inspect various places inside and outside the city to prevent a sea of ​​grass.

Xi Zuo took the opportunity to sneak into Jianbei City and cause trouble.

The huge Jianbei City was now enveloped in the murderous aura and bloody smell of the military officers, shrouded in a tense and chilling atmosphere.

Li Luo stopped and took a look. The walls of Jianbei City were thick and still towering over the land of Yeliang Prefecture. A hundred years of wind and rain had not left any trace on this big city of Beifu. Maybe in the next hundred years, this Jianbei City would still be what it is now.

Vice appearance.

"What is the prince looking at?" Gongsun Xiaoniang asked casually when she saw Li Luo looking thoughtful.

"The Mongols neither besieged nor attacked the city, which is strange."

"Oh, isn't it true that the first step is to attack the enemy, then the second step is to attack the enemy, the second step is to attack the city, and then the next step is to attack the city. Doesn't it say in the military manual that the siege of the city is a low-level strategy?"

Li Luo looked at Gongsun Xiaoniang in surprise. He did not expect that the top killer who was rumored to be murderous and cold-blooded actually knew the art of war. Li Luo couldn't help but be surprised.

Gongsun Xiaoniang was naturally aware of Li Luo's undisguised surprise. She frowned and a hint of displeasure flashed across her face.

Li Luo quickly continued softly: "It is indeed said in the military book, but the so-called conquest strategy often requires the help of the right time, place, and even people, both of which are indispensable. In this case, attacking the city is the simplest method.

.

For example, there are ever-changing ways of planning, countermeasures, and vertical and horizontal strategies abound. If you choose one of them as a strategy, you need to follow the trend first. Only when the momentum is strong can the defender have traces to follow. Otherwise, the strategy will not be possible.

Where it relies on strength, this plan is no longer a plan, it is just a fantasy at best."

Gongsun Xiaoniang said suddenly: "I understand, if the Mengjue act like they are besieging the city, then they are taking advantage of the situation. But like now, they are neither besieging nor attacking the city. If something goes wrong, it will be a monster. That's why the prince said

They have other plans."

Li Luo and Yan smiled and said, "That's right. No matter what Meng Jue's conspiracy is, we'd better talk about it after we go in."

Still more than ten feet away from the city gate, Li Luo and his two men were stopped by soldiers from the Dingbei Army, who looked at Li Luo and Gongsun Xiaoniang with eager eyes.

But it's no wonder. The war just started, and there was a lot of noise inside and outside Jianbei City. A man with a cold and charming girl seemed a little strange to everyone who looked at him.

Li Luo no longer hides his whereabouts and speaks out about his identity.

The soldiers guarding the city were shocked. Although they didn't know whether it was true or not, they didn't dare to neglect it. They hurriedly invited Li Luo to sit down in the garrison next to the city gate, served tea, and sent someone to report to the chief of the city.

The minister knows.

A short while later, while the city guards were carefully accompanying Li Luo, there was suddenly a rush of horse hooves outside the garrison. Before the man could reach him, a clear voice was heard: "He's here."

where?"

Li Luo put down his tea cup, stood up, and said with a loud smile: "Brother Five Emperors, I'm here."

Before Li Luo could walk out of the garrison, a person from outside the door rushed in, grabbed Li Luo's shoulders, and laughed ecstatically: "Ninth brother, you are indeed fine, haha, I knew you would be fine." That's right.

Wisdom King Li Xuanze.

Li Luo and Yan Yi smiled and said, "Brother Lei, I miss you."

"If that's the case, why are my brothers talking so politely? Let's go to the handsome man's house. The emperor and the others are discussing something in the house. They are looking forward to your return."

Only then did the soldiers guarding the city realize that what Li Luo said was true, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.

King Hui was overjoyed and waved his hand, but did not take it to heart. Li Luowen explained it briefly, and then he and King Hui Li Xuanze rode towards the commander's mansion.

When King Hui saw Li Luo, he was very excited and a little forgetful. It was as if the gloom and burden that was weighing on his heart disappeared in an instant. He was a little carried away with his enthusiasm. Even Gongsun Xiaoniang was looked down upon by Li Xuanze and treated with great courtesy.
