Yezhu Ridge at the junction of Qingyang Prefecture, Jinzhou Prefecture, and Bonan Prefecture in the northwest county is a very desolate and remote valley. No one knows that this is the home of the famous Purple Turban Bandit in the northwest region. "Brother, what should we do now?" A young man with a sinister face asked the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the Zhongyi Hall in the village with some worry, "Why are you panicking? Although the Luobi people were driven away by them, but that It was they who took advantage of the landlord. But this boy named Li Wufeng should not be underestimated. In all these years, no one has been able to make the Luobei people so embarrassed. During this period, the brothers were ordered not to go out and were all given. I stayed in the village honestly and ordered Hua Lian and the others to be careful. I didn't know about other people's news and ended up ruining my life. In addition, I asked the brothers who went out to buy supplies to be careful. I have a I feel that this Li Wufeng is not a good man, and if it doesn't work, we will use the thirty-six strategies to take the best." He encouraged the brothers, but he also felt that the new official who came back this time should not be taken lightly -
"Brother, you are too timid. We are preparing to run away before we meet anyone. We will be laughed at by other people and brothers." The young man was obviously unconvinced. "After all, we are also the most famous people in the northwest region." There are nearly 3,000 members of the Purple Turban Bandits, so it’s not easy to just leave.”—
"You know what the heck, be careful with your ten-thousand-year ship. I didn't say we were leaving now. We will stay in the village to rest during this period. We will wait for the Black Tiger Mountain gang and those gangs of horse thieves to go to the front line. Just wait and see. If the person named Li is in vain, it won't be too late for us to leave the mountain. If the situation is not right, we should open the way as soon as possible. I always feel that this is not a good sign." The middle-aged man with a round face is very cautious. After all, The person who can beat the Luobi people who are running rampant for a while and run away in despair is definitely not a weak person——
The West Tengger Prairie is beside the Salar Lake. This is the heartland of the Chidi people, the overlords of the West Tengger Grassland. Because this grassland with a radius of 400 miles has many large and small lakes, such as Salar Lake, Baolan Lake, and Mir Sea. The lake is extremely fertile with water and grass. It is here that the Chidi people gradually developed and grew. The city of Salar was built on the bank of Salar Lake. It is also the political, economic, cultural and commercial center of the Chidi people -
Although it is said to be a city, Sala City cannot actually be called a city worthy of the name. It has neither wide and thick city walls nor a few decent buildings. The only building that can be called grand is a large bluestone hall. , it is not only a place where the Chidi people worship their gods and ancestors, but also a place where their nobles in power hold meetings. It is called a temple. There are some sparse stone houses around the temple. Since stones are rare on the prairie, there are not many people who can build houses with stones. They are all rich or noble people. Ordinary herdsmen prefer traditional tents. There are a large number of tents distributed around these stone houses-
In the temple, a group of Chidi nobles in gorgeous clothes were sitting on both sides. In the middle sat a burly fat man. From his clothes, he could tell that this was their king Mulua. "I heard that the Luobi people suffered a big defeat in the east some time ago. Jawani, is this true?" Mulua, who is all fat and not looking clumsy, is scanning the hall with a pair of bright eyes. Many nobles, all of them lowered their heads to show respect under his bayonet-like gaze—
"Back to the king, I just received the verified news today and am preparing to report to the king. In early October, the Luobi people first defeated the main force of the Tanghe people in the east and grabbed a large amount of food and supplies, but in October In the middle of the month, the exact time was October 17th, when he attacked Qingyang City, the capital of the northwest county of the Tanghe Empire, he suffered a disastrous defeat and suffered heavy losses. It is said that less than half of the people returned home." His confidant, Jawaani, the minister in charge of intelligence He quickly replied—
"Didn't Tu Da claim to be undefeated in the Eastern Campaign? I've heard that he has returned triumphantly over the years. Why did such a big mistake happen this time?" Mulua asked with interest -
"It is said that Tu Da himself was not there when he attacked Qingyang this time, but had returned to his territory. The three warriors who were called the East Conqueror by the Luobei people were left to take command, but they were defeated." The minister in charge of military affairs Rasha added disdainfully—
"Rasha, don't underestimate those three young men. I heard that in the past few years, they have conquered the east and south and achieved brilliant results. They are not just people who deserve their fame." Mulua did not agree with the opinion of his military minister. "You must have a strong opponent among the powerful. You must have encountered a tough nut to crack. Who is the commander of the other party?" -
"Back to the king, he is a little-known young man named Li Wufeng. I heard he is not yet twenty years old." Javani looked at the information in his hand carefully before replying -
"Oh? He's so young and has a formidable future. Do you have any information about his situation?" Muluwa obviously had a strong interest in Li Wufeng who could defeat his nation's biggest opponent -
"Back to the king, I don't have any information about him yet. I just heard that the local people asked him to stay there to help them resist the invasion of the Luobi people." Javani also found that his king seemed to be very fond of this young man. interest-
"Immediately arrange for someone to collect relevant information about this person. Maybe this person can sit down with us and discuss how to jointly deal with the Luobi people." A meaningful smile appeared on Muluwa's fat face -
The grassland in the middle section of the Yisai River in the East Tengger Prairie is the birthplace of the Luobe people. The original birthplaces of nomadic peoples are often places with abundant water and grass. Only in these places can more people be fed and a nation can develop and grow. The city of Barona of the Lobi was built here, and like the city of Salar of the Chidis, it was also the center of the Lobi. Compared with Sala City, Barona City is larger and has more buildings, but compared to the cities of farming people, it does appear to be much simpler. The center of the city is a square, and there is a relatively neat building on the south side of the square. The tallest building is the Chief's Palace of the Luobi people, where Wadeya, the current chief of the Luobi people, lives and works. , surrounded by the private residences of various chiefs and nobles, most people, including some nobles, still prefer the traditional tents of their own nation.
In a less conspicuous stone house next to the Grand Chief's Palace, General Tu Da was listening carefully to the reports of Kurdo, Geya, and Hasian who were kneeling on the carpet. "General, this defeat is It was caused by the incompetence of Kurdo and he failed to live up to the expectations of the general. I ask the general to punish him." After Kurdo reported the details of the battle, he knelt down in front of Tu Da with guilt. Ge Ya and Hasian He also quickly knelt down to plead guilty, saying that it was not Kurdo's fault alone, and that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as deputy commander, and was willing to accept any punishment -
Tu Da sighed and waved his hand to signal the three of them to stand up, "You three don't blame yourself too much. In terms of responsibility, I, the general who conquered the east, should bear the main responsibility. I underestimated the enemy too much and made a wrong estimate. The enemy's strength, which has caused such consequences, has nothing to do with you." Seeing what the three of them wanted to say, Tu Da waved his hand again, "Needless to say, now is not the time to hold anyone accountable. , To be honest, I don’t care much about the outcome of this war, but the performance of Li Wufeng you mentioned really deserves our attention. An unknown person can have such heroic courage and such deep feelings. The strategy, even I find it a bit tricky. If this person is really stationed in our southeastern border for a long time, we will really be in trouble. It seems that we have to send capable people to understand who Li Wufeng is." Seeing that he has always been swaying freely. The generals were a little moved when talking about Li Wufeng, and only then did the three of Cuerdo realize the weight Li Wufeng showed -
"I'm going to the chief in a while. Don't explain too much, especially the sarcasm and sarcasm of others. I will handle everything." Tu Da told the three of them -
In the meeting hall of the Grand Chief's Palace, a somewhat tired Wadeya sat on a high throne. On the left were the Minister of Administration, Misai, the General of the Western Conquest, Ule, and on the right were the General of the Eastern Conquest, Tuda, and the General of the Southern Conqueror, Bei. Sang, the rest are nobles from various tribes, and the three of Kurdo are not qualified to stand in the forefront, so they all stand behind Tu Da—
"Tu Da, I heard that you suffered a huge defeat. How come you can't even deal with those cowardly Tanghe people? Why do you become the general who conquers the east?" A rough voice sounded, no need to guess. Knowing that it was his old enemy General Wu Le——
"Well, Tuda, this news has spread throughout the grassland now. Please tell me what is going on." Wadeya is also very concerned about this matter. After all, it is such a big thing, so don't ask anyone. It’s impossible to understand—
Hearing that the chief's voice was quite gentle, Tu Da was half relieved. He was not worried about himself. He was worried that if the chief was provoked by some people, he would punish the three of Kurdo in anger. "Go back to the chief and let me explain clearly." -
After listening to Tu Da's report, Ule was the first to shout, "Tu Da, you don't need to explain. It is clearly the incompetence of several of your subordinates that caused such consequences. The losses are so huge. You You should also take the responsibility of leadership, the chief, and Tu Da and his men should be severely punished this time." -
"You can't say that. After all, General Tu Da also completed the task of collecting grain and grass, and also defeated the main army of the Tanghe people, not to mention there were nearly 40,000 prisoners. This is a big fortune. ." A steady voice sounded, and the speaker was General Besang of the Southern Expedition. "I also heard that the coalition forces of the Mote and Tubu people also suffered heavy losses when attacking the Sisluo people, and they didn't get much food and grass. General Tu Da has achieved such great results." -
At the mention of the wealth that prisoners can exchange for, His Highness's nobles were like hungry wolves after smelling the aroma of barbecue. They all became excited and immediately put the defeat behind them. Many nobles also suggested that General Tuda and General Tu Da should be punished. The handling of his subordinates should balance the merits and demerits. After all, people who can bring huge wealth to themselves should still be supported -
When Ule saw that all the nobles were defending Tu Da, he stomped his feet in anger and stopped talking. Seeing that everyone had unified their opinions, Wadeya severely criticized Tu Da and Kuerdo. and others, and announced that no other punishment would be imposed in view of the greater achievements, and ordered Misai to immediately send someone to contact the Tanghe Empire to negotiate the redemption of prisoners of war -
"There is another nation on the sea to the east of the Tanghe Empire, called the Japanese. The Japanese are divided into ten tribes, and they are all scattered on dozens of islands, mainly Banyi Island, about 500 nautical miles away from the mainland. The Japanese are good at sailing, have an impatient personality, and like to fight fiercely. The big tribes include the Liyuan tribe, the Shengbi tribe, the Takeno tribe, the Tianqiu tribe, etc." - Excerpted from "Overseas Stories" -
In a small wooden house with extremely exquisite workmanship, a middle-aged man was listening solemnly to the report of the first masked man in black. This middle-aged man is the largest Japanese group on Banyi Island. Shanchuan, the chief of the tribe, said, "The Duodun people have an attempt to unite with the Tanghe people. Now they all send people to communicate with each other. The Tanghe people suffered a big defeat in the west, but later a guy named Li Wufeng led the Tanghe people The people defended the city and repelled the attack of the Luobei people. The detailed information is here, please take a look at it, general." -
After carefully reading all the information, the middle-aged man showed a satisfied smile and said, "Tachikawa, you did a good job. Now, you immediately organize people to find a way to destroy the attempt of the Duodun and Tanghe people to unite. No matter which method is adopted, they will definitely succeed." We cannot let their conspiracy succeed. In addition, send someone to collect information about this Li Wufeng and report it to me in time." -
"Yes! The mission must be completed!"
