Chapter 167 Jiang Li Fights the Martial Saint!
"The Mangyuan is vast, spanning more than ten thousand miles from east to west, and bordering on the three provinces of Yumen, Jinyuan, and Luochuan in the west. Because of the mountains blocking it, it has not been the main route for our Mang people to invade Dazhou!"

Standing in front of a huge sand table, Tuoba Ge introduced to Jiang Li the composition of forces in the northwest of Mangyuan.

"There are hundreds of tribes in the Northwest Territory, half of which belong to the two royal families of Tuoba and Chiluo. Compared with the lush grasslands in the middle and east of the wilderness, the Northwest Territory is much more desolate, and the strength of the tribes is relatively weak!"

"As early as a month ago, Mang Khan had already launched a mobilization order, and the major tribes in the Northwest Territory were also notified to move to the hinterland one after another. Front, increase the supply difficulty of the Zhou army!"

……

"That is to say, there are not many tribal forces around us that can be gathered by us?"

Jiang Li nodded, his eyes moved slowly in the sand table, his eyes moved slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Half a month has passed since he reached an agreement with the Western Region mercenaries.

Under his command, 13 Zhou troops, 18 Western Region mercenaries, and [-] Tuoba tribal cavalry formed a huge army of [-]. They roamed in the outskirts of the northwest of Mangyuan and annexed and conquered all available tribes of the Northern Mang. Not too big.

Due to Mang Khan's early mobilization, most of the tribes in the northwest of the Mangyuan have migrated to the hinterland of the Northwest near the middle of the Mangyuan.

In addition, the available combat power of many tribes was mobilized to the hinterland to merge with the power of the Chiluo and Tuoba royal families.

In the past half a month, Jiang Li has conquered more than [-] tribes, big and small, and the number of Mang people is more than [-], but the available troops collected are less than [-].

"It's all as expected!"

Tuoba Ge didn't feel anxious or uneasy, "According to Tuoba Lue's layout strategy, before the main force of the Northwest Mang army led by Chi Luo and Tuoba confronts the Zhou army, there are indeed only these forces that can be gathered.

Although 20 troops is not a lot compared to the main forces of the two major royal families and the Great Zhou, our purpose has never been to confront them head-on, but to take advantage of the main forces of the two armies to fight and their strength is exhausted. , Take control of the battle situation! "

When Tuoba Ge said this, he couldn't help but get excited.

Chiluo, Tuoba and the Liangzhou General Camp must have a big battle, and even if one side wins, it must pay a heavy price.

More than [-] fresh troops rushed into the battlefield where the battle situation was stalemate, and could instantly reverse all the battle situation.

Help whoever wins!

"If your goal is to control the royal family of Tuoba, then the weaker the tribes of the royal family of Tuoba are, the easier it is for you to control them. But if you want to become the king Khan of the wilderness in the northwest, support yourself and support yourself. Most of the strength of the two clans must be preserved, otherwise how will they compete with Mang Khan in the future and defend your territory!"

Jiang Li shook his head, "Our goal is not only to defeat Chiluo and Tuoba, but to completely control the entire northwest wilderness and even the lush pastures in the middle of the wilderness!"

"You're right. Mang Khan's background is not weaker than that of the Great Zhou royal family. Even if the Zhou people win a big victory this time, it is impossible to truly annex the Mangyuan, at least within decades!"

Tuoba Ge suddenly came to a sudden, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't think of any feasible strategy, "We only have more than [-] soldiers and horses, and we want to make Chi Luo and Tuoba surrender while retaining most of their strength. , It is impossible to do it, unless the force is doubled, but the northwest of Mangyuan is so big, there is no other force that can be conscripted."

"It may not be impossible to do it with limited troops. Gather all the troops immediately, and wait for the time to go forward to the hinterland of the northwest!"

Jiang Li had made a decision long ago, and ordered Tuoba Ge to speed up the control and training of the [-] reckless soldiers who had recently surrendered, and at the same time recall all the troops who were cruising around looking for the single tribe.

"suitable time?"

Tuoba Ge was a little puzzled. Hundreds of tribes, large and small, had gathered in the hinterland of the northwest at this moment, and the main forces of Chiluo and Tuoba were also nearby. The battle broke out in the army...

"The Liangzhou General Camp continues to go deep into the wilderness, and it can reach the hinterland of the wilderness in at most ten days. Chi Luo and Tuoba will never sit still and will definitely launch an attack before the Liangzhou General Camp approaches!"

"Once the main forces of Chiluo and Tuoba are mobilized, the defense forces of the hundreds of tribes who have migrated to the hinterland of Beimang will inevitably be weak and weak. As long as we capture all these tribes and control them, the soldiers of the Chiluo and Tuoba armies , it is absolutely impossible to watch our relatives being slaughtered by us one by one!"

Jiang Li said calmly, "Our real advantage is not how many troops we have, but until now, neither Chi Luo, Tuoba, nor Da Zhou knew that such a force existed.

"From now on, our first task is to keep our strength away from the battlefield, and don't let anyone find us!"

"Taking advantage of unpreparedness, control Chiluo and Tuoba's headquarters!"

Tuoba Ge's eyes brightened, as long as he could control the life and death of all the civilians, even if the royal families and nobles of Chiluo and Tuoba insisted on not surrendering, the ordinary Mang soldiers below would never be indifferent.

With a little trickery, a mutiny could be caused. Coupled with the threat of troops from the Liangzhou General Battalion, it may not be impossible to peacefully subdue the Northwest Wilderness.

At that time, with a million troops, I, the Northwest King Khan, can really sit firmly.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll do it now!"

Tuoba Ge nodded, convinced by Jiang Li's strategy, he put his hand on his chest and saluted respectfully, then turned and left in a hurry.

"Jiang Li, this demon is back!"

A gust of wind blew inside the tent, and a ferocious black dog the size of a calf appeared out of breath, licking water from the copper basin for washing hands.

"How is the current situation of the Liangzhou General Camp?"

With a flick of Jiang Li's fingers, dozens of True Yuan Pills emitting a faint golden glow flew towards the big black dog.

Jiang Li led the troops on this trip, only shouldering the task of riding, and can act independently, not subject to orders from the Liangzhou General Battalion.

In order to avoid being intercepted by Bei Mang and expose his whereabouts plan, Jiang Li did not retain a communication channel with the Liangzhou General Camp.

But as he controlled more and more troops, he was able to influence and even control the situation in the northwest of Mangzhou. He had to keep abreast of the movements of the Liangzhou General Camp and Chiluo and Tuoba.

Therefore, as early as ten days ago, the big black dog and the old deer demon were dispatched to investigate the specific movements of both parties.

"Wang, that's enough for you!"

The big black dog hastily swallowed the True Yuan Pill in one gulp, and the rolling True Yang essence circulated in its body. It shivered comfortably, and then said: "Everything is going on in the Liangzhou General Camp, and I march three hundred miles a day. I dare not It was too close, and I only watched from a distance for a while, but found something on the way back!"

"What's the situation?" Jiang Li was moved.

"In the area we passed by, there was an army of 5 people sweeping around aimlessly. Almost all the Mang tribes they found were slaughtered!"

The big black dog shrank its neck, and said with lingering fear: "I also detected an extremely terrifying aura in this army, and the smell is also very familiar. It should be a person in Zhenwuhou's mansion!"

Hearing this, Jiang Li walked to the front of the sand table and looked at it for a moment, frowning slightly, "The Zhou army that can appear in this area can only be the [-] left-wing army led by Jiang Xuanluo. How did you deviate so far from the route?"

"It's not just a deviation, the speed of the march is not very fast, it only moves left and right in this area, and the direction of advance is some marching traces that we deliberately left before to interfere with the line of sight!" The big black dog added.

"Jiang Xuanluo is looking for me?"

Jiang Li's thoughts changed, and he guessed something immediately, and his face changed suddenly: "I'm afraid the Liangzhou camp is going to be dangerous!"

"How to say?" The big black dog asked curiously.

"Jiang Xuanluo massacres everywhere with such fanfare, the two royal families of Chiluo and Tuoba will definitely notice, once they know that the left-wing army of Dazhou has deviated from the predetermined position, they will definitely take this opportunity to send a large army to attack the Liangzhou General Camp from the right. .

Even if the battle cannot be won, the Liangzhou General Battalion will suffer heavy casualties and morale will plummet. The combat power pattern in the northwest of Mangzhou will be complete. Not only is there no hope of conquering the northwest, it may even affect Jinghuang's overall layout! "

Jiang Li smiled coldly, filled with anger.

Jiang Xuanluo's move almost dragged the entire Liangzhou headquarters into danger.

Such a move is extremely stupid and conceited.

"Wang, is it so serious?"

The big black dog jumped up suddenly, and was also a little anxious, "Then what are you waiting for, we will notify the Liangzhou General Camp now, no, lead the army to rescue now!"

"Since you have discovered the location of the left-wing army, Chi Luo and Tuoba may have already discovered it, and even led the army to attack!"

Jiang Li shook his head and said, "We are too far away from the Liangzhou General Camp. It is meaningless to rush there now. Even if we can relieve the Liangzhou General Camp, we cannot change the Northwest."

"Then what should we do? If the main force in Liangzhou is destroyed, we will be in danger. If we go to the Western Regions, 20 troops will be enough to take down several small countries. Then you will be the king and be equal to Emperor Jing!" The big black dog babbled nonsense. road.

"Stand up as a self-reliant country? Don't tell me if I have such a mind. With my current strength, even if I establish it, I won't be able to defend it for long!"

Jiang Li pondered for a moment and said: "Dahei, you go to Chiluo and Tuoba again to confirm whether their army has left, and when all the mercenaries from the Western Regions of Fudi return, we will set off immediately.

"Go to the hinterland of the northwest to capture all the Mang tribes, and then immediately go south to rescue the Liangzhou General Camp. I hope they can last until then!"

"Okay, I'll take another trip now. I don't know what happened to Lao Lu again. I haven't come back after going for so long!"

The big black dog nodded, and swept out of the tent like a gust of wind.

"Wang, help Jiang Li, the stubble is coming!"

However, just a few breaths after the big black dog flitted out of the main tent, it retreated back with its buttocks backward, its demon body trembling like chaff, and its voice trembling.

"Boss Qiu!"

Seeing this, Jiang Li was heartbroken, and after walking out of the tent, he saw a thin and short old man standing in front of the tent expressionlessly, with his head drooping, his cloudy eyes staring at the toes protruding from the bottom of his robe.

This person is thin and thin, but he is wearing a very large black robe, flying under the strong wind of the grassland, as if he is wearing a huge banner, which looks quite weird.

It was Qiu Tianhai, the chief steward of Zhenwuhou Mansion.

Jiang Li's main tent is located in the center of the camp, and there are nearly ten thousand tents scattered around it.

Teams of soldiers were fully armed and patrolling around the camp. On the grassland not far away, tens of thousands of soldiers from Tuoba and Dazhou were practicing formations.

But no one discovered the existence of Qiu Tianhai.

He just stood there silently. Although he was visible to the naked eye and real, he managed to make everyone ignore his existence.

A patrol team composed of a hundred warriors from the Western Regions passed by not far away, but turned a blind eye to Qiu Tianhai's existence.

"Young Master Li's change really shocked this old servant!"

Qiu Tianhai raised his head slowly, his movements were slow, his eyes slowly scanned the nearly [-] soldiers and horses in the entire camp, Gu Jing's calm eyes couldn't help trembling slightly.

He naturally knew about Jiang Li's recent situation in the Liangzhou headquarters.

But it took less than a month to lead [-] soldiers and horses to leave Yumen Pass, and they actually gathered and formed such a force.

The mercenaries from the Western Regions, the Tuoba cavalry, and the Zhou sergeant were in the same camp, and they did not commit any crimes against each other.

And they all belonged to Jiang Li alone.

How did he do that?
Qiu Tianhai also led troops as a general and followed Jiang Shirong in his expeditions to the east and west, so he naturally knew how incredible such a scene was.

As strong as Lord Hou, he failed to do this.

"The old servant has watched Young Master Li grow up, and he is also aware of the various changes that Young Master Li has undergone in the past year. Before coming to see Young Master, he also had certain expectations in his heart, but Young Master's performance is always so unexpected. Dare to imagine!"

Qiu Tianhai sighed sincerely: "I have seen many powerful characters in my generation, but none of them can compare with Mr. Li, even Lord Hou!"

"It's rare that Steward Qiu approves, but you left the Marquis Mansion and went all the way to see me in the wilderness, you didn't just want to praise me!" Jiang Li said gently.

"Hou Ye sent me to Beimang mainly to protect the safety of the eldest son!"

Qiu Tianhai sighed: "If the Eldest Young Master can completely follow the orders of His Royal Highness, put aside selfishness and perform duties, I didn't intend to come to see you.

"It's a pity that the eldest son is headstrong, blinded by hatred and blinded by hatred, not only can't make meritorious deeds, but may make a big mistake at any time, but you are different, Mr. Li!"

Qiu Tianhai pointed to Jiang Li's camp, and said: "Based on these alone, Mr. Li is already invincible, and he has the power to influence the situation of the battle. Once he makes meritorious service in the future, the situation of the eldest son will be even worse if the two are compared. Embarrassing!"

"Compared?"

Jiang Li was startled when he heard the words, "Don't Manager Qiu think it's ridiculous? Why should I compare with him?"

"Of course Young Master Li doesn't have such thoughts, but Eldest Young Master does. Once he can't accept the reality, he will definitely come to trouble Young Master Li!"

Qiu Tianhai smiled bitterly, "Once you brothers meet, a fight is inevitable. Although the Eldest Young Master has a higher level of martial arts, he may not be able to defeat you. With Young Master Li's temperament, he probably won't spare his life, old slave I really can't bear to let Master Hou experience the pain of losing a child again!"

"What does Manager Qiu want to do?" Jiang Li asked calmly.

"Originally, on the way I came, I wanted to persuade Young Master Li to lead his troops away from the battlefield, so as to leave a way for Eldest Young Master to survive. If Hou Ye knew, he would have less grudges against you. After all, you are father and son, and you still have to reconcile in the end! "

Qiu Tianhai sighed: "But now that the old servant has met the young master, he realizes that I was too optimistic. Now the young master's life is not important anymore!"

As Qiu Tianhai said, he shook his sleeves, and the empty black robe seemed to gradually fill up.

The corner of the robe that was about to fly off by the strong wind also calmed down.

Although the strong wind on the wilderness was still howling, it was cut off by Qiu Tianhai a hundred meters away.

The sound of the wind disappeared in the ears, and even the sound of tens of thousands of military horses training in the distance was also isolated and completely disappeared.

"Young Master Li, your existence has begun to threaten the life of Lord Hou!"

Qiu Tianhai started to take steps, walking towards Jiang Li step by step.

With every step he took, his thin and short body became fuller, taller by several inches, and gradually became stronger.

"Young Master Li has obtained the Qi meridian inheritance of the Jiao Crane Sect. In the future, his Qi meridian attainment will never stop at the life-threatening state, and he may even achieve the legendary Nirvana state and become an existence at the same level as human immortals!"

Qiu Tianhai shook his head and said: "It's not possible, but it will be possible. Young Master Li's strategy and talent are much higher than that of Lord Hou. It is only a matter of time before he surpasses Lord Hou. Once you have the power that Lord Hou cannot restrain." , there is no possibility of reconciliation between you father and son!"

"Using the young master's determination to kill the eldest lady, I am afraid that he will treat the Lord Hou with the same cruelty. This old slave cannot just watch such a thing happen, so I can only wrong the young master and return to the Hou's mansion with me!"

"You want to arrest me and bring me back to Zhenwuhou Mansion!"

"There is no way to do this. I know that Mr. Li feels wronged, but for the sake of Lord Hou, I can only sacrifice you!"

Qiu Tianhai nodded, and the martial sage's aura suddenly rose, and he pressed heavily on Jiang Li. His originally five-foot figure had already stood up like a god at this moment.

A beam of energy visible to the naked eye rises from the top of Qiu Tianhai's head, straight into the sky, resonates with the sky and the earth, and shines with the sun and the moon.

The skin stretched and regained its luster, and the silver hair became thick and black like ink, dancing without wind.

He appeared in front of Jiang Li, and grabbed Jiang Li with a pair of big hands.

The aura of a martial sage, as heavy as a mountain, made Jiang Li's shoulders suddenly sink, and the bones of his whole body were trembling, and he might be crushed by the aura at any time.

This kind of aura and power is not comparable to that of Fei Qianren and the semi-sage of martial arts who are physically sanctified by the ancestor of the strange ghost.

Between the palms, there is a strange and powerful fist spirit.

This boxing spirit possesses unmatched spiritual will, but also has a wonderful artistic conception of transforming reality into emptiness, and using existence to create non-existence.

It seemed that everything would turn into nothingness and disappear between Qiu Tianhai's hands.

"none!"

"This is your fist spirit!"

"Is everything irreversible?"

Jiang Li quietly looked at the big hand that was grabbing at him, the brilliance of the Sumeru Ring shone, and the Demon Saber Man Tu flew out, endless destructive aura swept the surroundings, and the martial sage pressure that had enveloped Jiang Li's body dissipated in an instant.

Holding the knife, Jiang Li's blood was rushing and roaring, like a great river rushing through his body.

"Wrath of the Desolate Sky" starts from the ultimate sky realm.

The blood in Jiang Li's whole body instantly burned and evaporated, turning into endless and raging power.

The six-fold increase in power instantly surged across Jiang Li's body.

The young man held the knife in both hands, stepped on the ground, and leaped into the air against the wind, the knife's light billowing.

It seems that thousands of soldiers and horses shouted and shouted like a sea of ​​thunder, but they finally condensed on a point on the blade of the magic knife and turned into a soundless sound.

Elephant Xisheng!

"Young Master Li has great sword skills!"

Qiu Tianhai's eyes shrank, and there was a look of amazement in his eyes.

Generous without corners, late blooming, great music with little sound, the elephant is invisible!
The loudest and most beautiful sound between heaven and earth is the sound of silence!
The best image is invisible, imageless and soundless.

Qiu Tianhai's boxing spirit was nothing, so when Jiang Li's knife appeared in front of him.

He understood in an instant, and was even completely immersed in this kind of endless sword intent.

It is precisely because he can truly understand the intangible artistic conception of Xi Sheng that he is more aware of Jiang Li's attainments in martial arts.

"Intent Martial Realm Great Achievement!"

The light of the knife flashed away, Qiu Tianhai's figure stopped, he slowly withdrew his hands, his palms were unbreakable, a deep knife mark was shocking, and the bones could be seen deep.

"Master Li, you have given this old slave too many surprises!"

Qiu Tianhai's voice was also trembling at this moment.

"Intent Martial Realm, you have trained your martial arts to such a level in less than a year, you have deceived everyone, even Lord Hou!"

"Your strength even exceeds that of ordinary martial saints. Even though it was created by secret methods, it is too terrifying!"

Qiu Tianhai raised his palm, his eyes were full of disbelief.

There were only two crackling sounds, and the bones in his hands were all broken.
