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

Chapter 208: Planning for the Northern Wei Dynasty
"woooooo"

"woooooo"

The call for retreat was sounded almost simultaneously on both sides, and the Jizhou and Xiliang cavalry, who were engaged in a melee, retreated.

Seeing the masters of Jizhou retreating, Dayueer put away her sword and fell to the ground.

"The Marquis sent us a letter asking us to return to Qingyou Pass."

Huluxu rode over on horseback, looking excited, his armor covered with pieces of flesh, and the broadsword in his hand dripping with blood.

"retreat."

Dayueer knew that her young master had most likely succeeded, so she did not stop and marched toward Xiliang with tens of thousands of cavalrymen, carrying the bodies of her comrades.

A few days later.

The news of the Qingzhou battle spread throughout the Central Plains martial arts world, shocking the government and the martial arts world.

Xiliang Hou was at the foot of Qingzhou City. He first killed the three Buddhist monks, and then overwhelmed the old sword god who was invincible sixty years ago, and forced to retreat the sword god holding the peach blossom.

He became famous throughout the world with just one battle and dominated the martial arts world.

Since then, the plan of Buddhism entering Jizhou has come to nothing, with heavy losses. The current leader of Shadow Mountain died at the hands of Xiliang Hou.

The contemporary wanderer Liu Xuanxuan went down the mountain and entered the martial arts world for the first time, but she also fell into the hands of Xiao Han and her life or death was unknown.

The Buddha's bone relics were also taken away by the Marquis of Xiliang.

Most of the attention in the martial arts world was on the Battle of Qingzhou, where many top masters fought each other.

All the civil and military officials in the court, as well as the two courts of Northern Wei and Central Plains, were focused on the Battle of Shangcheng.

Nearly 100,000 cavalrymen from Jizhou and Xiliang fought for most of the day in Qingzhou. Both sides left behind more than 10,000 corpses and fled.

This battle truly changed the situation in the Central Plains court. In the past, Xiliang and Jizhou at least maintained harmony on the surface.

However, the fact that Buddhism entered Jizhou became the fuse for the falling out between Xie Xuanli, Marquis of Zhenbei, and Xiliang Marquis.

Like the Battle of Qingzhou.

What followed was the battle for the upper city.

The two sides have reached the point where they are incompatible and are even at war.

When the news reached Qingzhou City, the Marquis of Qingzhou was furious. No one in Jizhou or Xiliang took him seriously.

A storm is brewing in the world. It is still unknown who will be swept up in it and who will be able to see far and sit back and relax.

Two days later.

The Xiliang cavalry retreated back to Qingyou Pass, and Xiao Han also brought Yuwen Yulou, Xiaoyue'er, Dayue'er and Shen Pei back to Xiliang City.

"Put her in the dungeon,"

They threw the distraught Liu Xuanxuan off the horse and two soldiers took her away.

Since waking up, this proud son of Shadow Mountain has been in a half-dead state.

"Husband, how are you injured?"

Ning Xi came over quickly with two servants, her pretty face full of worry. She looked him left and right, and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no wounds.

"Haha, a bunch of chickens and dogs, how can they hurt your husband?"

Xiao Han waved his hand and asked them to go back and rest first, then he and the girl returned to the courtyard, where servants had already prepared hot water.

Take a comfortable hot bath to wash away the fatigue and blood on your body, then change into clean clothes.

"You are hurt."

Qingyao asked in a deep voice, holding the white robe she had taken off in her arms.

"A little injury."

He shook his head, lay down on the chair, picked up the teacup, and drank the warm tea, which turned into a warm current and spread all over his body, making him feel warm and comfortable.

"Don't you know how to be more careful?"

Qingyao muttered: "Before I left, I repeatedly told you to be careful about your safety, but you ignored me and didn't take it to heart at all."

"look at you."

Xiao Han joked: "You're almost becoming a housekeeper."

"If you don't want to listen, forget it."

She puffed her cheeks and said angrily, "If I intervene again in the future, I, Qingyao, will be a puppy."

"Ouch." He suddenly cried out in pain and covered his chest.

"Is everything okay?"

Qingyao panicked and rushed over, but was caught off guard and Xiao Han reached out to hold her waist.

"Didn't you say you didn't care about me?"

He teased.

"Humph."

"fraud."

Qingyao rolled her eyes and tried to break free, but the man's hands were like iron clamps.

for a long time.

She fled from the room in disheveled clothes, stood at the door, straightened her skirt, and said unhappily: "It doesn't count this time, I will definitely ignore you next time."

After saying that, he took the clothes to the yard next door to wash them.

"Don't tease me all the time."

Miaoyu walked in, put down the ginseng soup on the plate, and smiled: "Since the young master went to Qingzhou, she has not even had the heart to practice sword in the past few days. She is worried."

After drinking the ginseng soup and wiping his mouth, he asked, "What has the Northern Wei in Jizhou been doing these days?"

“Still in confrontation.”

Miaoyu gently squeezed his shoulders and said softly, "But I predict that the Northern Wei will take action soon."

"In the battles of Qingzhou and Shangcheng, the young master defeated the Buddhist sect; he defeated two great sword gods in a row, and the fierce cavalry fought against the army of Jizhou for a whole day."

The Northern Wei must have also received the news. Previously, the Northern Wei had expected Jizhou and Xiliang to join forces, but now that they have no concerns, they will definitely head south."

"Xie Xuanli is having a headache now."

Miaoyu smiled and said, "Yesterday, Ning Xi, Mr. Xiahou and I discussed that the Northern Wei Dynasty might move south to Jizhou. Our chance has come."

As for why not attack Xiliang.

Because it can't be defeated.

Even though Xiliang has stockpiled heavy troops in Qingzhou, Jizhou, and the Northern Wei border, this is far from Xiliang's limit, let alone Xiao Han's limit.

The three guards of Shatuo and the six guards of Xia Pi can also send troops. If necessary, Xiliang can even mobilize more than 100,000 cavalry in a short period of time.

We have food, horses, swords, armor and people; this is our confidence.

"What do you think?"

Xiao Han raised an eyebrow.

“Pressure.”

She said, "Let Lu Judai and Tian Xianguan's Xiliang cavalry frequently harass Chen Qingzhao, delaying Jizhou's 300,000 cavalry and creating opportunities for the Northern Wei to move south."

"When Xie Xuanli can no longer hold on, he will definitely bow his head. Then I will take the opportunity to seize the three counties of Youzhou."

Miaoyu took out the map and drew an arc with her finger.

"These three counties are closest to Xiliang. Many refugees in Xiapi County fled from these three counties."

"Coupled with the subtle influence of the past few years, the people are very willing to join Xiliang."

“Once you get it, you can digest it easily.”

At that time, we will station troops in Weiyang City, defend Jizhou to the east, and expand the territory by 500 miles. "

"What's next?"

Xiao Han asked again.

"Sir, please tell us what you think and see if it agrees with ours."

Miaoyu whispered in his ear.

"Join hands with Xie Xuanli and march north to attack Northern Wei."

He said calmly: "Take advantage of the fact that the Northern Wei army is heading south to Jizhou to attack Hexizhou. The cavalry will penetrate into Juzizhou, cut off the retreat of the Northern Wei army, and complete the encirclement."

"Besiege but do not attack. Ambush a cavalry unit in Orange Island. When the Northern Wei army comes south to support Orange Island, kill the Northern Wei reinforcements first, then turn the guns around and eat up the Northern Wei's 200,000 cavalry in one fell swoop."
