At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 188 Shadow Mountain, Misty Peak

"This bastard, I'm not dead yet."

Xie Xuanli cursed, "You really think I'm easy to bully, don't you?"

Yuan Hong walked in and said in a deep voice: "If we don't fight for it this time, there is no need to fight for it in the future."

"Mobilize 100,000 cavalrymen, led by Chen Qingzhao, to march to Tianxian Pass."

Xie Xuanli said, "In addition, mobilize another 100,000 cavalrymen, led by the second brother, and stationed in Shuoyin, ready to attack Qimen Pass from Juzizhou at any time."

It would have been fine if the Marquis of Zhenbei did not take action, but once he did, he led an army of 200,000, directly threatening Tianxian Pass and Qimen Pass.

"I want to see how this little bastard has all the tricks to be so arrogant and domineering."

Xie Xuanli was holding back a rage, but he kept on tolerating it, and in the end, others took advantage of him.

At least that's what she thought.

"Send my handwritten order to Piaomiao Peak, urging them to send the Buddha's bone relic to Jizhou as soon as possible."

"promise."

Yuan Hong nodded with a smile on his face.

Jizhou acted quickly. The white-clothed military genius Chen Qingzhao led a hundred thousand cavalrymen to Tianxian Pass.

In addition, there are 100,000 cavalrymen ready to go in Shuoyin.

Xiliang's reaction was not slow either. When Chen Qingzhao arrived with the Jizhou cavalry, Lu Ju led 30,000 black armored soldiers to station at Tianxian Pass.

At the same time, the garrison at Qimen Pass increased to 30,000, and the garrison at Qingyou Pass increased to 10,000.

Sparks were flying between the two giants of Jizhou and Xiliang, and the cavalry above were so close that a war could break out at any time.

Xie Xuanli refused to retreat.

How could Xiao Han retreat?

The Black Armor Army and the Xianzhen Camp were all pulled out, leaving only the Shen Ce Army and the Huben Camp, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were ready to go at any time.

Besides.

The six guards of Xia Pi and the three guards of Shatuo were also ready at any time. As long as Xiao Han gave an order, they could immediately mobilize more than 100,000 elite cavalry to fight for him.

It's snowing heavily.

It's freezing cold.

at this time.

Whether it was the Central Plains court or the Northern Wei court, they all turned their attention to Jizhou and Xiliang.

More than 300,000 cavalry from Jizhou and Xiliang confronted each other. Such strength made the Northern Wei and Central Plains tremble with fear.

And the cause of all this.

They are all Buddhist and Shadow Mountain Sect, as well as the Buddha bone relic.

Xiliang City.

Armored soldiers stood in rows, flags fluttered, and countless cavalrymen frequently approached from the north gate. In the camp outside the city, the heavy cavalry of the Shen Ce Army were training intensively every day.

Between Xia Pi and Shang Dang, there were many elite cavalry patrolling.

Hou House.

In the lobby.

Zhao Muli, Huluxu, Liao Huan, Qin Yuanba, Chen Gong, Hu Chi and other brave generals and Xiahou Qing and other chief clerks were all there.

Hanging on the wall was a huge and exquisite cowhide map, which almost covered the entire world of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Central Plains, including Jizhou and Xiliang.

"My Lord, we need to continue to send more troops to Qingyou Pass."

Xiahou Qing stood in front of the huge map and stared at it for a long time: "The two armies in Jizhou at present are probably a strategy to confuse the enemy."

"The most likely scenario is to send tens of thousands of cavalrymen to bypass Qingzhou and enter Xiliang through Qingyou Pass."

"Ten thousand defenders are not enough, we need at least twenty thousand."

"Then send more troops."

Xiao Han nodded.

Every half an hour, spies from all over the country came to report the movements of Jizhou and Northern Wei.

"My Lord, the envoy from Shaqiang has come again, saying that the Shaqiang cavalry has been assembled and no one can go to the battlefield."

"This Rabdan."

He smiled and said, "Tell them to go back and wait."

"The envoy of the Marquis Mita Guard has also arrived, asking when the fight with Hasi will begin."

"My Lord, the envoy of the Rongnu Guard has arrived. Ask Yao not to bring the Rongnu Guard's cavalry to Xiliang County right now."

"My Lord, Xue Yanwei's envoy has arrived."

"My Lord, the messenger from the Qianniu Guards is asking when the battle will begin."

"Let them all go back."

Xiao Han laughed and scolded: "When the fight starts, I will send someone to notify them."

"My Lord, fight."

Zhao Mule was eager to do it: "In half a month, I will lead the Tiger Guards to sweep across Jizhou and capture at least 20 cities for you, my Lord."

"Correct."

"My Lord, fight."

Huluxu patted his chest and said, "The brothers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have long been clamoring to meet the Jizhou Iron Cavalry."

"Don't worry."

He looked calm: "This battle cannot be fought." "Why?"

Xiahou Qing asked with a smile.

"Doesn't Mr. Xiahou know?"

Xiao Han said proudly, "Why would Xie Xuanli fight me?"

"Even if I give him 100,000 cavalrymen in exchange for Jizhou's 100,000 cavalrymen, I can still defend Xiliang, but he cannot defend Jizhou."

When the Northern Wei cavalry marches south, Jizhou will be reduced to ruins in an instant."

"He thinks he can scare me by displaying 200,000 cavalrymen?"

Xiao Han smiled contemptuously, "If you don't believe me, let's just wait and see. Within a month, Jizhou will definitely withdraw its troops."

"Thank you for your hard work these days."

He nodded, stood up and clasped his fists.

Shadow Mountain, inside Piaomiao Peak.

The strong wind was howling with the heavy snow.

In the bamboo house.

Shi Xinyuan, the current leader of Shadow Mountain, frowned as he looked at the letter in his hand, which was stamped with the seal of General Pingxi.

There are only a few words on it.

Buddhism enters Ji, kill!

Especially the last word "kill".

Contains terrible murderous intent.

Even Shi Xinyuan, the leader of Shadow Mountain, did not feel frightened.

It even caused Shi Xinyuan to have a faint illusion before his eyes, as if there was a Shura hell with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and bones everywhere.

"How many people do you have to kill to have this terrifying murderous intent?"

She opened her mouth, muttering to herself, her brows furrowed, unable to relax.

Threat.

An undisguised threat.

The meaning of the letter sent by the Marquis of Xiliang is self-evident.

It is to warn myself, warn Shadow Mountain, and warn Buddhism not to enter Jizhou.

Shi Xinyuan rubbed her temples, feeling mixed emotions. She was not an indecisive person.

But this decision is not so easy to make right now.

Should we continue to enter Jizhou?

If successful, the Buddhist sect headed by Shadow Mountain will join forces with Jizhou, but it will offend the Marquis of Xiliang.

Not to mention his powerful martial arts skills, just look at the 200,000 elite cavalry from Xiliang, plus the many masters in the marquis' mansion.

This is enough to make Shi Xinyuan feel terrified.

Is it worth it.

"metropolitan."

"There's a letter from Jizhou."

A female disciple in snow-white clothes knocked on the door.

"come in."

She spoke, her face returning to normal.

The female disciple from Shadow Mountain pushed the door open and took out a secret letter from her sleeve. Shi Xinyuan opened it and read it.

Xie Xuanli, Marquis of Zhenbei, urged Shadow Mountain to send the Buddha's bone relics to Jizhou as soon as possible.

Jizhou.

Xiliang.

Marquis of Zhenbei.

Marquis of Xiliang.

One of them has an army of 300,000.

A man with 200,000 cavalry under his command.

No one is easy to mess with.

at this time.

Shi Xinyuan vaguely regretted participating in this competition. She didn't expect the news to leak out so quickly.

What I didn't expect was that the Marquis of Xiliang would react so strongly to this matter.

One side is the tiger.

On one side is the evil wolf.

Buddha bone relics are supreme existences even in Buddhism and are extremely rare.

There were not enough for use within the Buddhist sect, and Shi Xinyuan had to work very hard to convince the elders in the sect to get one for him.

It would be fine if it could be delivered to Jizhou, but if it can't be delivered and something goes wrong along the way, then it would be a big loss.

After all, the people who have set their sights on Shadow Mountain and the Buddha's Bone Relics are far more than just Jizhou and Xiliang.

All the masters in the world were alarmed.
