Martial arts becoming a saint: starting from the royal forbidden area

Chapter 149 Hard-hearted, Li Xuan’s plan! 【8000! 】

The tribes in South Vietnam, under the leadership of Li Xuan, completely changed their style of fighting.

Directly taking advantage of the nomadic tribe's advantages, they attacked from all directions.

Moreover, they used the tactics of coming and going without a trace, and retreated before Zhou's army could gather.

Let Zhou's army be unable to capture anyone at all.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty also had cavalry, the cavalry was not the main force of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And compared with the tribes who have been living a nomadic life in the south, Zhou's cavalry is really not that powerful.

In other words, the cavalry of the Red Flame Army can compete with them.

But there are not many cavalry in the Red Flame Army.

Lizhu didn't dare to let it out easily, just in case she was trapped in a tight siege.

No matter how powerful the Red Flame Army is, they will probably be completely wiped out.

Lizhu didn't want to gamble with her Red Flame Army.

But in this case, South Vietnam would have a considerable advantage.

It was completely a way of accumulating small victories for big ones. Every harassment would cause hundreds of casualties on Da Zhou's side.

If this happens several times a day, it will result in thousands of casualties.

If things continue like this, the casualties in Dazhou will gradually accumulate to tens of thousands.

This is not a good thing for Da Zhou.

What worries Lizhu the most is Li Xuan's main force.

These days, Lizhu has not found Li Xuan's main force on the battlefield.

The people who fought against Lizhu and the others were all men from other tribes, and Li Xuan's main force seemed to have disappeared.

When the two sides fought, the opponent's main force disappeared directly on the battlefield.

This is definitely not a good thing.

Naturally, Lizhu reported the matter to the court as soon as possible, and at the same time reminded the court to be careful about the internal affairs of Dazhou.

Although due to the geographical location of South Vietnam, the only way to enter the Great Zhou Dynasty is to take the frontal route.

Not to mention that there are high mountains on both sides, the most important thing is that there are often monsters in the high mountains on both sides.

It is not that easy to pass through such a dangerous zone.

Although if there is an expert leading the team, the risk will be less.

But if there is really a master leading the team, then the movement in the mountains and forests will definitely not be small.

In this way, Dazhou would naturally know their itinerary.

Lizhu has always had people monitor the situation in the mountains and forests twice.

Nothing happened until now.

Although there was no movement, Lizhu was still worried.

For this reason, I also continued to submit memorials to the court, hoping that the court would take this matter seriously.

Qin He naturally attached great importance to the memorial handed over by Li Zhu.

This was not only because Lizhu had beaten him, but also because Qin He knew Lizhu's ability to lead troops.

Prince Yan's ability to lead troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty is definitely worthy of being number one.

Now that Prince Yan is gone, Li Zhu is the well-deserved number one in Dazhou.

Especially when it comes to judgment on the battlefield, even Prince Yan praised Lizhu for being very talented and very forward-looking.

Many things can be thought of in front of Prince Yan.

Therefore, Qin He will definitely take the memorial handed over by Li Zhu very seriously.

Qin He directly ordered all the prefectures and counties near South Vietnam to be on strict alert and report any suspicious phenomena as soon as possible.

At the same time, all state capitals and counties must begin to strengthen their city walls.

Make sure that your city walls and the food in the city can withstand for at least three months.

Qin He indeed paid great attention to it, but those states and counties near South Vietnam did not implement it so well.

Especially when they knew about the great victory in the front, coupled with their inherent understanding and impression of South Vietnam, they felt that unless the front was broken, there would definitely be no problems in their rear.

It is this kind of laziness and lazy thinking that directly leads to big mistakes.

Li Xuan's army passed through many obstacles and fought directly out of the mountains.

Everyone who was killed from inside was like a real savage.

I have been wandering around the mountains for more than ten days in a row, facing all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, and ants every day. Food and accommodation can only be found in the mountains, unlike savages.

However, this kind of dedication has very obvious results.

They managed to get out, even though there were only 1 people.

But these 1 people were led by Li Xuan himself, and there was also Li Xuan's teacher in the team.

These 1 people can be said to be the elite among the elite and the main force among the main forces.

One night attack successfully captured a county town.

In just one night's effort, a county town was captured by Li Xuan.

After conquering the county seat, Li Xuan only took away the supplies he needed. The remaining grain in the granary, as well as other food and utensils, were all burned by Li Xuan.

Li Xuan came with 1 people, not to occupy territory.

He brought these 1 people mainly for destruction.

Destroy these cities of Zhou Dynasty as much as possible and burn all the grain and food.

Let Lizhu and his army on the front line run out of food, and at the same time cause a huge storm inside the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the rescuers arrived, Li Xuan and the others had successfully captured a county town.

Still chose the same method, burning all the grains in one go.

Everything that could be burned in the city was set ablaze.

For ten consecutive days, seven county towns were captured.

Seven county towns were captured, but not many people died.

But the impact was really huge.

All the cities were burned down by the fire, and not a single grain of food was left.

It directly turned all the people in the city into refugees.

Such a huge flow of refugees naturally disrupted the entire South Vietnam.

Lizhu heard such a report on the front line and was so angry that she smashed a table.

"Are these a bunch of idiots! The imperial court has ordered them to be on guard, how come they were able to break through the city in just one night!"

"All county magistrates whose cities have been captured should be beheaded!"

After venting her anger for a while, Lizhu also understood that venting like this had no effect.

Things have already happened and there is no point in thinking about them.

She now faces two choices. The first is to take her main force back to chase Li Xuan's main force.

But Li Xuan's main force is only 1 people, and now there are refugees everywhere, so it is not difficult for them to hide.

Moreover, these 1 people are all cavalry, and he must lead the cavalry to catch up.

But if we are weak and lead people away, then the frontal battlefield will not be defeated, but it will definitely become a situation where we lose more and win less.

If they were told that there was chaos in the rear, there might even be problems with their supplies and supplies.

It's only a matter of time before a mutiny breaks out.

Of course, there is a second way. The second way is for Lizhu to take his main force and take the initiative to attack now and sweep away the entire tribe in South Vietnam.

Although they still adopted guerrilla tactics, it was difficult for Lizhu to catch the opponent.

But they also had food and grass, and their tribes also had places to stay and settlements.

Lizhu only needs to attack their footholds and settlements. Lizhu does not believe that their people will not come back to rescue them.

Although this method is a bit ungrateful, this is a battlefield, and it is not a place where martial ethics is important.

If we talk about martial ethics, the people of Zhou Dynasty may become the slaves of these barbarians.

By then, these savages may not even be able to talk about martial ethics with Zhou.

And there is another advantage to doing this, that is, if Lizhu moves quickly enough.

Then Li Xuan had to come back.

Without Li Xuan as the backbone of the South Vietnamese tribes, their defeat would only be faster.

After a short decision, Lizhu chose to compete with Li Xuan in speed.

See who can destroy the other faster.

It was Li Xuan who could mix among the refugees and destroy Da Zhou faster.

It was Lizhu who led the main force and destroyed these tribes faster.

For this reason, Lizhu simply ignored the court's order to dispatch troops back for rescue.

I will not accept the order of the emperor abroad.

What's more, it was the military order given by Qin He.

Lizhu directly issued an order for a full-scale attack, and at the same time dispatched the Red Flame Army to directly attack the settlements of those tribes based on the information given by the spies of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As long as we can force those tribesmen to return for reinforcements, then we will use superior forces to deal with those who return for reinforcements.

Now it's a competition of speed.

Just see who can destroy the other faster.

Li Xuan also got the news of Li Zhu's decision after Li Zhu destroyed a tribe.

After getting the news, Li Xuan sincerely admired the courage of Lizhu, a princess who was not inferior to men.

To be honest, Li Xuan himself had thought about what he would do if this was the situation.

His choice was the same as Lizhu's.

But he is different from Lizhu. Lizhu is the princess of Zhou Dynasty, and he is the king of South Vietnam.

As a king, he can make choices that do not go against his own heart at all.

But as the princess of Dazhou, Li Xuan felt that Lizhu had many things to consider.

The first is the issue of military orders. Disobeying military orders is a crime of beheading, and even the princess may not have an easy time.

Secondly, as the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she also had to consider the reaction of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Although he wreaked so much destruction in the rear, he didn't kill many civilians.

However, the number of refugees caused has also reached an extremely destructive figure.

But now the princess of Da Zhou, even though she was clearly capable of rescuing, did not choose to rescue, but continued to fight in depth.

What kind of impression will such a princess leave on the people?

Based on the above two points, Li Xuan's judgment is that Lizhu will definitely return to defense.

But now Lizhu made a completely different judgment than him.

"Speed ​​up. We must destroy at least one city in Dazhou before Princess Lizhu." Li Xuan gave an order to his subordinates.

Counties are generally relatively small. An average county can have a population of more than 1000, which is considered very large.

But Fucheng is different. Fucheng has a population of at least tens of thousands.

If a city is destroyed, the noise will be really big.

But it is also not easy to destroy a city.

No matter the height or the strength of the city wall of Fucheng, no county can compare with it.

In addition, there are not many defenders on the county side, but there are thousands of defenders on the Fucheng side.

Although Li Xuan has 1 men, these 1 men are cavalry.

Using cavalry to attack a city with tall walls is definitely asking for death.

If you don't wait, you may have become a living target.

Therefore, Li Xuan's method was to drive away the refugees and let them seek asylum in Fucheng first.

Then when Fucheng opened the door, he led his troops and rushed directly into Fucheng.

Of course, he didn't need to think about the refugees blocking the door.

It’s not like they are their people anyway, just rush in.

The city that Li Xuan chose was called Ding'an Mansion, and the current governor of this city was the spy leader who had successfully brought back intelligence from South Vietnam.

Being able to become the governor of a government is absolute real power.

And it's still in such a border area, so it's even more of a position of real power among the real powers.

The most important thing is that now is the time when the two sides are fighting, and it is really easy to make meritorious deeds.

When the time comes, after making meritorious deeds, you will definitely rise to the top by virtue of your merits.

Becoming Qin He's true right-hand man is only a matter of time.

Li Xuan didn't know this.

Under his operation, all the refugees were driven to the vicinity of Ding'an Mansion.

The Ding'an Mansion, under the leadership of Chen Tao, had already re-reinforced the city wall in accordance with the imperial court's orders, and at the same time stockpiled enough food for a year.

When seeing so many refugees appearing, the person responsible for defending the city was not good at making suggestions, but went directly to find Chen Tao.

When Chen Tao came to the city wall and saw so many refugees gathering underneath Ding'an City, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Seven county towns were captured. If there were refugees, they would be around 3000 to [-] people.

There are already 3000 to [-] refugees gathered at the gate of Ding'an City.

In other words, all the refugees gathered here in Ding'an City.

If there is no problem here, then it is really a ghost.

Seeing a large number of refugees kneeling below, the captain guarding the city also asked Chen Tao if he wanted to allow the refugees to enter the city.

Chen Tao took a look at the seemingly quiet place in the distance, then looked at the refugees below, and said directly to the captain: "Pour the food off the city wall and tell them that Ding'an City will not open. In addition, tell all the refugees, Let them disperse and escape. If they gather together, no city will open the door to them." Although the captain did not understand Chen Tao's approach, Chen Tao was the chief official of this city, and he would do whatever he said. alright.

According to Chen Tao, the captain led his men and dumped the food off the city wall. At the same time, he shouted to the refugees below, telling them that Ding'an City had been sealed off and would not be opened again.

The other is to let them disperse and escape. If they gather together, there will be no city for them to enter.

Such an approach will naturally attract all kinds of abuse, but this is the order of the chief officer, and the captain just obeys it.

Li Xuan, standing in the distance, saw the situation below Ding'an City through the copper clairvoyance.

I also find it a bit tricky.

The chief official of Ding'an City was obviously different from what Li Xuan had in mind.

This chief officer is obviously a very alert person.

If you don't open the door at all, your cavalry will not be able to play any role at all.

And look at the directions in which the refugees who had received the food dispersed and escaped.

Li Xuan also understood that if he did not take action at this time, his careful calculation would be ruined by Chen Tao alone.

"Attack."

Li Xuan decisively gave the order to attack.

Firstly, of course Li Xuan didn't want to see his plan ruined, and secondly, Li Xuan didn't have time to wait.

It was originally time to compete with Lizhu again. If he continued to delay, he would definitely lose.

Ding'an City was already his best target.

What Li Xuan wants to see now is to see if the chief official of Ding'an City is also a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

With the appearance of Li Xuan's cavalry, the refugees who had originally fled in all directions crowded crazily near the city gate, crying for the city gate to be opened.

The captain saw the cavalry appearing in the distance, and quickly asked all his men to enter their positions for defense.

But the refugees down there are also a big problem now.

Chen Tao, who had not yet left the city wall, also discovered this problem.

The captain looked at Chen Tao, because only Chen Tao could do this order.

Chen Tao looked at the refugees below. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Shout to the refugees below and tell them to disperse and run away. Ding'an City will not open the city gate. Tell them that there is still a chance of survival if they run away now. If they don't run away, they will only be able to survive." Can die here!"

When the captain heard Chen Tao's order, his expression couldn't help but change.

Even if these refugees start to run away now, their chance of survival will not be too high.

There was no way they could outrun a four-legged horse.

Moreover, Ding'an City is surrounded by plains on all sides, without any obstruction.

Running in such a wilderness would be a living target, and there would be no possibility of survival.

"Master Fuyin..."

Before the captain finished speaking, Chen Tao said in a deep voice: "If I let them enter the city now, not only will I not be able to save their lives, but I will also harm nearly [-] people in the city.

Do you want your family to be like them? "

Chen Tao's words undoubtedly directly broke the captain's heart.

The captain's family are all in the city. If the door is opened now, his family may become like the people below.

This captain is not a person with noble moral sentiments. In front of others and his own family, he will definitely choose his family's life.

"The purpose of executing my order is that if something happens, I will take full responsibility for it!"

Chen Tao said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The captain agreed with the same loud voice.

Then the captain looked coldly and ordered to the people on the city wall: "When those savages come over, beat me hard.

If you don't want your family members to become like people in the city, then use all your strength and give me a hard beating! "

The same method was used by the captain on his own soldiers.

Soldiers like him have already married and established businesses in the city, so naturally they don't want their families to become such refugees.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded loudly.

Then the captain shouted to the people in the city: "Escape for your lives each. Ding'an City will not open the city gate. Even if you die here, Ding'an City will not open the city gate. If you run now, you may still have a chance to survive. Otherwise, you will only be able to survive." A dead end!"

This naturally resulted in all kinds of curses.

But the captain paid no attention to it.

Of course, the refugees below have no intention of running away. They still feel that they are all people from Dazhou, and they will not be so cold-hearted as to ignore death.

But Chen Tao has already decided, so naturally he will never save him.

Chen Tao stood on the city wall, fearing that if his captain's heart softened, he could stop him with a stone heart.

Li Xuan's cavalry quickly arrived at the city gate.

The cavalry ran rampant and trampled the refugees below until they were bloody and bloody.

Looking at the tragic situation below, both the captain and the soldiers guarding the city felt their hearts trembling.

At this moment, Chen Tao loudly ordered: "Aim at those savages and shoot arrows!"

Seeing that no one took action, Chen Tao said loudly: "If you don't shoot arrows, won't they die? If you shoot arrows now, you can kill the savages who are approaching and avenge them!"

"Fire arrows!"

After listening to Chen Tao's words, the captain decisively issued the order.

Although the sergeants on the city wall had been very careful to target the savages, accidental shooting was still inevitable.

But for the 10 people in the city and for their own families, they must shoot the arrow.

Standing in the distance and using his clairvoyance to watch the scene happening in Ding'an City, Li Xuan knew that he had lost again this time.

The chief official in Ding'an City was more hard-hearted than he thought.

"Retract your troops, don't let our people die in vain." Li Xuan said to his men.

After listening to Li Xuan's order, his subordinates immediately blew the horn to withdraw troops.

Hearing the clarion call to withdraw troops, the cavalrymen who were attacking the city retreated directly.

As they retreated, they left bodies lying on the ground.

Although there are these savages, more of them are refugees.

There were still some survivors among the refugees who were lucky enough to survive, but they still had a lot of injuries.

Naturally, they wanted to curse the people in Ding'an City even more loudly. At the same time, they threatened that they would go to Beijing to complain, and they must kill all those who refused to save them.

But at this moment, Chen Tao was very calm: "Those who allow the city to leave should leave immediately.

After a while, he poured the kerosene down and burned all the corpses below.

It is necessary to prevent those corpses from contaminating water sources and causing epidemics. "

The captain now absolutely obeys Chen Tao's words.

No matter what happened in the past, the captain now at least knew that because of Chen Tao's order, their Ding'an City was saved and their family would not become refugees.

As for the future, let’s consider it later.

Li Xuan was very depressed.

Continuous mistakes in judgment have caused them to lose their last chance.

The time spent in Ding'an City definitely gave Lizhu a lot of opportunities.

I am afraid that more tribes in South Vietnam have been eradicated by Lizhu using the same method.

The current situation in South Vietnam is probably very unstable.

South Vietnam, which Li Xuan had finally integrated together, may soon fall apart.

Li Xuan looked at Ding'an City and said with some regret: "If we in South Vietnam also have such people guarding the city, we in South Vietnam will not have to worry about major things happening."

The subordinates said to Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, we can also ask Master Gu to take action."

Li Xuan shook his head and said: "This is the inside of Dazhou. If the teacher takes action, the forces of Dazhou will never sit idly by.

At that time, the Jianghu forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty will have to cooperate with the Great Zhou court whether they are willing or not.

In that case, we would be under too much pressure. "

Li Xuan is right, Dazhou's Jianghu also wants to save face.

The forces of the barbarians took action directly in the interior of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The political forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty, whether for their own face or for other reasons, must unite with the Great Zhou court.

This is something Li Xuan doesn't want to see.

After a pause, Li Xuan's eyes sparkled and he said: "But if the teacher's injury recovers, then we should be able to have no fear even if Dazhou's Jianghu takes action."

The subordinates looked at the light in Li Xuan's eyes and were not sure where their king's confidence came from.

How powerful that mysterious ancient master was, the king had never told outsiders.

However, the king obviously has great confidence in the ancient master. This confidence transcends everything.

"You should return to South Vietnam immediately. I want to go out with the teacher." Li Xuan ordered his men.

The subordinate did not ask for the reason, because he was not qualified to know the reason.

All he had to do was follow the orders.

Next, Li Xuan's main force withdrew from Da Zhou's territory, climbed over the mountains and ridges again, and returned to South Vietnam's territory.

But at this time, the tribes in South Vietnam had really been beaten to pieces by Lizhu.

Lizhu really didn't care about martial ethics. She just used the same trick to kill tens of thousands of South Vietnamese troops.

All the decline was resolved by Li Zhu with one move.

And now because Li Xuan is not here, the voices of dissatisfaction with Li Xuan are getting louder.

The situation where Nanyue and Nanyue have come together with great difficulty may collapse at any time.

Fortunately, Li Xuan's elite main force returned in time and stabilized the situation.

Lizhu's side also gave in when things got better, and did not continue to press forward step by step.

Now that Li Xuan is back, the two sides can continue the stalemate.

What Lizhu didn't know was that Li Xuan did not return to South Vietnam.

Only his men and his elite troops returned to South Vietnam.

Li Xuan and his teacher were looking for something that could heal his wounds in Da Zhou.

Through the channels of the Zhenyue Sect, Li Xuan did get the medicine that could help his teacher recover.

But for this, Li Xuan also paid a heavy price.

That is, our own South Vietnam almost fell apart.

The passage from Nanyue to Dazhou was opened with the help of the Zhenyue Sect.

The Zhenyue faction asked Li Xuan to bring his people to cause trouble within the Great Zhou Dynasty, hoping to bring down the entire Great Zhou Dynasty by leading from one point to another.

But the result was very unsatisfactory. Not only did they fail to defeat the Great Zhou Dynasty, but their South Vietnam was now entering a moment of collapse.

Of course Li Xuan can accept this. Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists.

There are losses and wins, this is very normal.

Although they lost, the Zhenyue faction also gave Li Xuan medicine as required.

At the same time, the Zhenyue Sect also made a second request to Li Xuan. They asked Li Xuan to take the masters behind him to deal with Qin Che in the black office.

As long as Qin Che is dealt with, the Zhenyue Sect can provide them with another medicinal material on their list.

After Li Xuan brought the needed medicinal materials back to his teacher, Master Gu, whose face was covered with tattoos, nodded and said: "I can agree to their request. This first portion of medicinal materials is enough for me to fully recover. The second portion Medicinal materials can help me break through.

If I can make further breakthroughs, then the world of Da Zhou will not be afraid of me.

Except for a few unborn sects and those mysterious aristocratic families, even the first-class sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not afraid at all. "

Since the teachers have agreed, Li Xuan naturally has nothing to agree to.

And the teacher also said that from Zhuang Xiao's point of view, Qin Che, the black yamen's strength, was mediocre.

There is absolutely no comparison with teachers who have fully recovered.

In this case, Li Xuan felt that he could do this kind of business that was sure to make money without losing money.

Li Xuan agreed to the request made by the Zhenyue Sect, and the Zhenyue Sect was naturally very happy to achieve such cooperation.

Through the list of medicines provided by Li Xuan, the Zhenyue Sect had already determined that the mysterious powerhouse behind Li Xuan was at least a top powerhouse who had reached the third level of Tongtian.

Just because of various reasons, he should be seriously injured.

Now with these drugs, he should be able to recover.

As for how much it can recover, the Zhenyue Sect can't speculate.

But if such a person can be allowed to target Qin Che, combined with the fact that he once defeated Zhuang Xiao with one palm.

With such a person, it should be relatively safe to deal with Qin Che.

So they threw out the second bait and let Li Xuan and the master behind him bite their own bait.

After deciding on this matter, Li Xuan also took his teacher and began to recover in secret.

Next, as long as he waits until his teacher fully recovers, he can take his teacher and go directly to Qin Che.

The location of the Black Yamen is still very easy to find. Now the whole world knows that the Black Yamen is in Daoshan City, and Qin Che's training place is in Daoshan City.

Knowing these two locations, it is really easy to find them.

Although Li Xuan also knew that if he didn't go back for such a long time, his South Vietnam might have bigger problems.

But as long as his teacher wins and gets the medicine that can break through.

After his teacher breaks through, what will happen even if the entire South Vietnam is defeated?
If you can unify South Vietnam for the first time, you can unify South Vietnam for the second time.

Such a thing is not difficult for Li Xuan.

On the contrary, my teacher only has one chance to recover. If I miss it, I may not have the chance.

After his teacher breaks through, even the world of Dazhou will be nothing.

When the time comes, sects like the Zhenyue Sect can only surrender under their own feet.
