In order to ensure the secrecy of his legion, Ye Li was only responsible for training ordinary soldiers in the military camp outside the city.
Once the legion was formed, the soldiers entered a secluded area called Green Valley in Dongfang County for their training.
Now the three legions have basically been formed, so there are no other soldiers in the military camp outside the city except for the guards responsible for defending the city.
Ye Li now has sufficient manpower, and it won't take much time to rebuild a camp, so he plans to move the barracks directly to the Green Mountain Valley and expand it, also taking into account the other three legions that will follow.
There are only a thousand people on the guard team. Because of the small number of people, they simply marked out an area under the city wall to be used as a military camp. This also makes it convenient for these guards to maintain order in Oriental City.
After hearing Ye Li's order, Ding Si was shocked and said, "Sir, are you going to form another group of troops? We may not be able to afford it."
Ye Li waved his hand and said, “This is His Majesty’s order, and he will be responsible for the funds.
The Tang State suffered heavy losses in this incident. The Zhenzhong Army lost more than half of its men, the Xuanwu Army completely defected, and the guards of more than a dozen cities also declared rebellion.
In general, the Tang Kingdom needed to reorganize a new legion to resist Li Rulin's attack.
I'm sure you've also heard the news. Li Rulin has occupied one-third of the country and has received support from the Yuan Dynasty. The fight between us will not be resolved in a short period of time..."
Next, Ye Li told his subordinates everything about this incident in great detail. Although his subordinates had learned a lot from other channels, they were all second-hand information after all, and naturally not as detailed as what Ye Li said.
After clearly understanding the combat effectiveness of the Cavalry Regiment and the Flying Wing Regiment, excitement showed on the faces of all the senior officials under Ye Li.
They knew that the Cavalry Regiment and the Flying Wing Regiment were very strong, but they had never expected that they would be so strong that even the Black Tortoise Army was no match for them.
As for the matter of Li Rulin, no one had expected it at all. No one had ever thought that the third prince, who was completely unnoticed in the Tang Kingdom, would be the mastermind behind it.
It seems that the Li family's drama of fratricide will continue, which is also very sad.
After Ye Li explained all the chores to his subordinates, he also informed them that he was about to go on a diplomatic mission to the White Lotus Kingdom to seek an alliance, because based on the current situation, Li Rushan and his men were probably no match for Li Rulin and the Great Yuan Kingdom.
As for the departure time, it should be three days later, because they have to wait for Li Rushan's letter to be sent to the White Lotus Kingdom first.
According to the requirements for sending envoys between countries, the Tang court must first notify the Bailian Kingdom. Only after the Bailian Kingdom agrees can the Tang envoys go there. Otherwise, it would be extremely rude.
Ye Li rested in Dongfang County for three days, and the notice from Tangjing City was soon sent to Ye Li, informing them that they could set off for Bailian, and the Bailian Kingdom also agreed to receive them.
The envoys on this mission came with letters, and according to custom, they brought some valuable items as gifts, which was also a must.
There are not many members in the diplomatic corps, and Li Rushan has tried to streamline the personnel as much as possible to make it easier for Ye Li and others to control them.
After meeting up with the members of the diplomatic corps, Ye Li and Huo Xing joined the team and rode in a carriage quickly towards the White Lotus Kingdom.
Ye Li did not ride the Fenglin Beast, as he did not want to attract unnecessary attention in the White Lotus Kingdom.
The place where Bailian Kingdom borders Tang Kingdom is located in the northeast of Tang Kingdom, opposite to the Yuan Kingdom.
The White Lotus Kingdom also borders the Yuan Dynasty in the northern region of the Tang Dynasty, and the three countries are in a tripartite relationship with each other.
What happened in Tang Kingdom could not escape the eyes and ears of Bailian Kingdom, so they were naturally very clear about the current situation.
Ye Li and his team moved very quickly. After setting out from Dongfang City, they headed northward, except for the border of Tang State, and then entered the territory of Bailian State.
The Bailian Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom are closely adjacent to each other, but the customs and cultures of the two countries are very different.
The people of the White Lotus Kingdom like to wear loose robes, and most of them have a kind look, which makes it easy for people to like them.
However, Huo Xing disagreed with this and said, "Sir, don't be fooled by the appearance of these guys. The people of the White Lotus Country only look kind on the surface, but in fact they are not as friendly as you think. These guys like to say some righteous and awe-inspiring truths in front of you, making you think that they are noble, but in fact what they do in private is no different from what we do.
Because these guys' appearances are so deceptive, people who don't know them will be deceived by them and suffer losses without realizing it."
Hearing Huo Xing's words, Ye Li couldn't help but think of the people of Prajna Mountain on the Black Eye Continent. Among those who had interacted with him in the past, many of them spoke righteously but were equally dirty in private. They were somewhat similar to the White Lotus people mentioned by Huo Xing.
"I understand, Senior Huo. I will be more careful in the future and will not be deceived by their appearance."
Ye Li smiled at Huo Xing and spoke.
… … … … …
In the northwest of the Tang Kingdom, in Zhongyi City, Li Rulin was sitting in the city defense mansion. At this time, Zhongyi City had temporarily become part of the Northern Tang Kingdom.
Li Rulin had no intention of building a palace here. In his opinion, Li Rushan would not be able to hold out for long, so he did not need to rush to destroy him.
As long as the rest of the actions of their Tianxia Alliance are completed perfectly, two-thirds of Li Rushan's territory will be taken away by him if he can't even hold out for ten days, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
"How about it, have you figured out the situation of those two corps?!"
Li Rulin asked his two subordinates.
The two men were responsible for intelligence gathering in the Mengshan Society. One of them said, "Young Master, there is very little information about these two corps. Even Li Rushan's people don't know much about them.
Their appearance this time shocked almost everyone, as no one knew the existence of these two legions.
The only information we have found out now is that these two legions are the private armies of Ye Li, the lord of Dongfang County.
However, it is said that Li Rushan ordered him to build these two legions and also provided a lot of assistance, so we are not sure whether the real founder of these two legions is Ye Li or Li Rushan himself. "
