Chapter 80 The Death of the Old Wolf
Someone once said that there are two deadliest poisons in the world, one is the poison of puffer fish, a delicacy, and the other is the power that makes people want to stop.

The former Ye Lixiao didn't believe it either, but when he deeply tasted the taste of power, he was deeply poisoned and fell into it.Power is more terrifying than Zhang Cai, absorbing Ye Lixiao's boundless energy and boundless physical strength, making him physically and mentally exhausted but unable to extricate himself.

On the night when he gained power, Ye Lixiao dragged Zhang Cai all night together to deal with the pressing incidents one after another.After finishing the treatment, it was already the second day. With two dark circles under his eyes, Zhang Cai yawned profusely.

"Finally it's over, I'm stuck!"

Ye Lixiao deeply agrees.

"I really miss the old days when I could sleep well."

"If it were me, I must find someone to work for me. I will never stay up late like this! Staying up late makes me ugly."

When Ye Lixiao heard it, he laughed and said nothing.

At the same time, he found what he wanted to say: Zhang Cai was left out in the cold.

It's a pity that Ye Lixiao doesn't know how to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Power is poison. He can distribute this thing to Zhang Cai and ask her to help.

Ye Lixiao was tormented by a tiring life every day, but Ye Lixiao enjoyed it until 3 days later, on March 41, 3, Bingcheng Zhangwu, one of the scouts sent to the north finally came back alive, and hurriedly returned to reveal to everyone Opening the mysterious veil to the north of Yinshan Mountain, and bringing a piece of news that seems good but not good. The Yingli tribes are being besieged by the Zhelan, Baiyang, and Loufan tribes. Hey, I heard that they are trapped in the Hawk Force Department, so I ask for reinforcements.

After Zhang Cai heard the news, he felt cheated. After all, there was a real fight. The battlefield was in the north of Yinshan Mountain. At this moment, he was stationed in the south of Yinshan Mountain. The news of Iron Man was blocked so badly?It's been almost 20 days and it's airtight. Go to a scout and kill a scout?joke!

It's completely against military common sense, and Zhang Cai doesn't believe that Iron Man can do the real thing~ news isolation.This is not besieging a city, nor is it besieging a house, this is on the grassland, and if you want to besiege, you must besiege Yinshan Mountain!

Don't care whether Zhang Cai believes it or not, but Ye Lixiao just wants to believe it, or he knows it but just wants to believe it!Bet that Daddy Ye Litu Gonalo has a chance.

What can I do?Even if it was sleeping clothes, Zhang Cai couldn't influence Ye Lixiao's decision, so he had to think hard to pave a safe passage for Ye Lixiao to keep him alive.

After arranging for someone to respond, Ye Lixiao urgently led 5000 cavalry to the north, and Zhang Cai accompanied him uneasy. He ran for a day and a night, passed the Huyan Valley, and went deep into the Yinshan Mountain 200 miles north to the source of the Datong River. The Ministry of Forces was still 150 miles away, and the shouts of killing kept echoing in my ears, but I couldn't see a single enemy soldier.Ye Lixiao ordered the soldiers of the army to approach and search cautiously, and then someone found the Royal Court of Hebu, the commander-in-chief of Ye Li Tugonara, the governor of the grassland army, in a dark place in the shade.What was discovered at the same time were layers of corpses that had decayed to a disgusting degree.

Once found, report to Ye Lixiao immediately!
When Ye Lixiao heard about it, he rushed over to check in shock.

"Little wolf master, after counting and checking, there were more than 2900 warriors who died in battle, but there were no bones of the wolf master, the second little wolf master, and the third little wolf master." Naker Louis Rudolph reported.

"Look for it! We must find it!" Ye Lixiao said resolutely, while looking at the warriors who had been dead for a long time in surprise.

Ye Lixiao gave the order to find it, and naturally he was going to find it, so all the soldiers searched carefully, not sparing every plant and tree.Of course, there are still sober people in the crowd, such as Zhang Cai who accompanied him and Tuoba Liwumouke, the leader of the Tuoba tribe who accompanied him in command. The Ministry of Power is very suspicious, so we have to guard against it!The two of them reminded Ye Lixiao together that it was the old minister's words and the pillow wind, Ye Lixiao naturally accepted the advice, and the soldiers stayed in the outer circle to protect and be careful.

On the other hand, if Ye Lixiao wanted to look for it, he would look for it. Anyway, he didn't do Zhang Cai's business.Zhang Cai and Tuoba Liwu Mouke were also idle, so she took two temporary attendants and walked around among the dead people, looking left and right, occasionally squatting down, covering her mouth and nose and enduring it. The smell of the corpse, carefully observing the shape of the deceased, measuring the wounds of the deceased, gradually became solemn.

The defeated subordinate Louis Rudolph who was following him couldn't help asking: "Master Zhang Cai, what are you doing? What's so interesting about a dead body?"

After hearing this, Zhang Cai replied calmly: "Louis Rudolph the warrior, you can just ask Tuoba Liwu Mouji."

If Tuoba Liwu didn't know, Zhang Cai would suspect that he, an important general of the Grassland Army, was made by dawdling around.

Louis Rudolph looked at Tuoba Liwu in confusion, and Tuoba Liwu simply explained: "Louis Rudolph warrior, you can judge how the enemy is attacking from the direction of the face and back and the wound of the deceased. Offensive."

He gave another example: "Look at the one lying on the ground, the chest and abdomen are concave, and the arrow is shot in the back. It was shot from behind, and then it was hit by a horse in the front or hit by a blunt object such as a bone."

Louis Rudolph nodded and learned a hand.

Tuoba Liwu said: "Master Zhang Cai, judging from the situation of the corpses at the scene, our warriors were attacked from front to back, or a surprise attack, and then the whole army was wiped out. It seems that there is no need to observe carefully!"

"It's okay if it's a surprise attack. If it's a front-to-back attack, it's hard to imagine what the Eagle Forces are doing. The old wolf master 5700 cavalry is supporting the Eagle Force."

Perhaps Zhang Caixing couldn't stand the smell of corpses anymore, so she stood up and walked away, and ran to a distance to take a breath of fresh mountain air-conditioning.

"Tuoba Li Wu Mouke, I have a question I want to ask." Zhang Cai asked.

"Master Zhang Cai, but it doesn't matter."

"Okay, I don't know the habits of the prairie army, and I don't know your style of play. I want to ask what kind of state the prairie army will be in if they take part in the battle?"

Tuoba Liwu asked back: "It depends on the scale of the war."

"National war! Or a battle that will determine fate!"

"Hiss~ that's it!" Tuoba Liwu said: "Then we will mobilize! First, the cattle and sheep will be collected and deployed in a unified manner. This is food for the warriors; Men and daughters who can ride horses and draw bows under the age of one gather together and send them under the command of the ten thousand, thousand, hundred, and ten cavalry commanders; thirdly, the whole clan, young and old, set off and follow the warriors."

"...It's probably like this!"

Tuoba Liwu thought about whether there was any omission, so he said.

Zhang Caizai listened carefully, then turned to look at Louis Rudolph.

"Warrior Louis Rudolph, please take three or four warriors to Elder Yingli to have a look, quietly drip, don't be alarmed, write down what you see, and let me know when you come back!"

Looking at Zhang Cai suspiciously, Louis Rudolph nodded yes.

After Louis Rudolph left, Tuoba Liwu asked: "Master Zhang Cai, are you sure that there is something wrong with Yingli? Do you suspect that Yingli betrayed and killed the old wolf lord and 5700 warriors?"

Zhang Cai said with a solemn face: "Is there any other explanation, Tuoba Li Wumou Ke? What I know is that the elder Yingli Xu Bujian reported on credit to General Zhenyuan that there was an army of iron men grazing on the border. , the general led 5700 cavalry to support him, and then there is the general who is still missing, and 3800 grassland army soldiers who are alive or dead! I really hope that I guessed wrong, and I especially hope that the general is trapped in the In the Ministry of Eagle Power, waiting for Xiao's rescue. I really can't imagine how much pain he will have if he is sure that something happened to the general, I dare not think."

"Maybe." Tuoba Li Wu Mouke said, "There are still 3800 warriors who have not been found. I hope Changshengtian will bless the people of He and the old wolf master."

"The rest depends on what information the warrior Louis Rudolph can bring back." Zhang Cai spread his hands.

I turned around casually, and after a while, someone came to report that they found corpses, about 600, in a mountain depression not far from here.

This seemed to be a harbinger of disaster, because not long after, another report came, and more than 700 corpses were found.

Gradually, more and more results were obtained, and the number of discovered corpses also surged to 2100.

It is enough to explain the problem!
Zhang Cai and Tuoba Liwu Lianying went to see Ye Lixiao, and were planning to persuade Ye Lixiao to retreat together, a gentleman would not stand in danger.And just stumbled across the latest search results, and the results are sad.

"Report!!! Wolf Lord! On the only treeless grassland on a high hillside 30 miles northwest, I found... found..."

Seeing the soldiers hesitating, Tuoba Liwu strode forward impatiently, pulled up his collar and cursed: "What did you find? What are you afraid of! Tell the truth!"

Zhang Cai stepped forward: "Tuoba Liwu seeker, let go first, are you going to strangle him to death?"

The soldier's face was already red, Tuoba Liwu hurriedly let go.

The guide took a few breaths, and then said: "The remains of the old wolf master, the second wolf master, the third wolf master and the rest of the warriors were found!"

"what!"

When Ye Lixiao heard this, he didn't care about the army, Zhang Cai, and Tuoba Liwu, and without a word, he jumped on his horse and rushed towards the northwest.

Zhang Cai hurriedly followed, and Tuoba Liwu hurriedly gathered his soldiers and horses to stand by.

On the only relatively tall mountain 30 miles away to the northwest that did not block the view, a group of people were waiting for Ye Lixiao to see him off.
