Chương 137: Chapter 137 A great victory at the border
When Guo Huai came to visit Li Qingxuan.
I heard that Ye Cangqiong sent a flying eagle to report to Li Qingxuan, saying that he would attack Zuohe City.
And up to now, it was only three hours, excluding the time on the road. In other words, it only took less than an hour for Ye Cangqiong to capture Zuohe City.
Guo Huai was very shocked.
As a famous commander in Daxia, he naturally knew what this victory meant.
What's more, as far as he knew, the soldiers and horses led by Ye Cangqiong were covered in iron armor and were not good at attacking cities.
In his opinion, it is almost impossible to break through Zuohe City.
But now the other party really did it.
"There are still three hours before dark, so we should be able to defeat one more city. If we have enough time tomorrow, we should be able to defeat three cities.
In this way, all the main cities in Beiyuan can be destroyed in four days at most.
Li Qingxuan planned to destroy ten cities and asked Ye Cangqiong to return.
These ten cities are enough to severely weaken Beiyuan's vitality, and I'm afraid he won't be able to recover for more than ten years.
Of course, with Li Qingxuan here, it may not be possible to recover in decades, let alone more than ten years.
Because Li Qingxuan would send Shura cavalry in-depth to plunder from time to time.
Next to him, Guo Huai was dumbfounded.
Although the Shura cavalry was indeed very powerful, they had just conquered a city. Not to mention the casualties, even those who were not injured were probably exhausted.
Why did Li Qingxuan say that if there was enough time, he could win another victory today.
From the master Li Qingxuan to the subordinate Ye Cangqiong, everyone seems to be crazy.
"Your Majesty, the Shura Iron Cavalry is indeed the strongest cavalry I have ever seen, but is there any danger in advancing so greedily?"
Guo Huai said it very tactfully.
In fact, I just want to say that if you do this, you will be seeking death.
However, Li Qingxuan did not speak.
"His Royal Highness Youwang, how about we have a hand-to-hand talk?"
Guo Huai didn't really want to play chess with Li Qingxuan.
His chess skills were extremely good, and in the Great Xia court, only the state master Yang Xuanji could rival him.
He just wanted to wait for news from Li Qingxuan.
Since he said he was going to conquer another city, he would naturally find out before dark.
"OK."
Li Qingxuan had nothing to do anyway and hadn't played chess for a long time, so he asked someone to fetch the chessboard.
The old man next to Guo Huai stood aside and watched quietly.
He is similar to Guo Huai's bodyguard. No matter where Guo Huai goes, he follows him.
After the chessboard was placed, Li Qingxuan sat upright, straightening his back, and his whole aura changed completely.
Li Qingxuan could see that although Guo Huai was frail and sick and seemed to have difficulty walking, he was a very arrogant person.
This kind of person must overpower him in every aspect. Otherwise, how can he be willing to serve his wife well?
Therefore, he was more serious than before when he played chess with Yuan Guang.
He straightened his clothes and looked at the chessboard.
Like a tiger looking down on its territory.
Swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.
The old man glanced at Li Qingxuan in surprise.
Unexpectedly, His Highness Prince You showed such extraordinary magnanimity at this moment.
Guo Huai also showed a bit of solemnity.
Although I don't know the extent of Li Qingxuan's chess skills, looking at his posture, he looks like a master.
Guo Huai plays chess like he is leading an army. He is neither hasty nor slow, taking every step to make a move. He is very calm.
But Li Qingxuan always hung up his horns and did not tangle with him.
Next to him, Bai Wei stretched his neck to watch. As a bystander, he could also see the intensity on the chessboard.
Although he knows nothing about Go.
Li Qingxuan turned around and smiled at Bai Wei, and then asked: "General Bai, where do you think I should go?"
Bai Wei was dumbfounded. He didn't understand Go at all.
He was just watching the excitement and didn't know where to go.
But when Li Qingxuan asked, he had no choice but to point to a position on the chessboard.
Li Qingxuan shook his head.
He pointed to another location.
Li Qingxuan still smiled and said nothing.
"this..."
Bai Wei wiped the sweat from his head.
Then he pointed at a random location.
If it doesn't work, he won't speak. He doesn't understand Go, so if he has to point it out, it won't be embarrassing.
Who would have thought that after he finished speaking, Li Qingxuan actually dropped the chess piece in the direction he pointed.
The old man couldn't help but shook his head, feeling that His Highness Prince You was going too far. Was he looking down on his own general by doing this?
However, Guo Huai on the opposite side frowned, thinking whether Li Qingxuan's move contained a hidden murderous intention.
I just thought about it for a long time and didn't see anything, so I had to make a move.
But then Li Qingxuan fell like a storm for a few seconds, clapped his hands, and stood up.
Guo Huai's hand holding the chess piece shook slightly.
He lost and was defeated like a mountain.
"His Royal Highness Youwang's chess skills are so superb."
Guo Huai sighed.
In fact, I am still a little unconvinced.
At the beginning, I still underestimated His Highness Prince You, which was why this loss was so strange.
The old man next to him was also someone who knew chess. He read the chess game over and over again and found that the opponent was really tall.
Unknowingly, his young master fell into his killer move.
"His Royal Highness You Wang is unfathomable."
The old man thought to himself, but became even more vigilant.
An hour has passed since the game of chess was played.
Guo Huai suggested taking a stroll in Li Qingxuan's yard.
In fact, he just didn't want to leave.
Li Qingxuan didn't care, so he took Guo Huai to wander in the backyard.
Just when he reached a rockery, Lao Lao suddenly took a step forward and blocked Guo Huai behind him. His whole body tensed up, like a leopard in danger.
At this time, in front of him, with his hair tied back and an unruly look on his face, Xuanyuan Kuang was practicing his sword.
The sword glowed brightly, like a swimming dragon, and the sword energy billowed, creating a strong wind.
The old man quickly realized that he had overreacted, smiled awkwardly, and stood back to his place.
He just looked at Li Qingxuan doubtfully.
"He is my king's subordinate."
Li Qingxuan smiled slightly.
Not wanting to disturb Xuanyuan's crazy sword practice, he turned a corner and led Guo Huai and others to another place.
Mr. Lu looked back at the place where Xuanyuan was practicing his sword crazily, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
An hour later, Bai Wei hurried in again.
"Your Majesty, there is a new battle report."
"Read it."
Li Qingxuan stood at the pavilion, looking at the gray sky in the distance with his hands behind his hands.
The Northland has a harsh environment, with strong winds often blowing. When the weather is sunny, the sky is crisp, and when the weather is gloomy, there are strong winds.
No wonder Bei Yuan was thinking of coming to Daxia to plunder.
Beiyuan lived in the north, which was in such a harsh area. Many daily necessities could not be manufactured, so he had to go to Daxia to grab them.
"We have conquered Tushi City. We are taking a rest for now. Tomorrow we will attack the three cities of Jiefang."
When Bai Wei finished reading, Guo Huai was silent for a long time.
"King You is so clever. This move will probably make Beiyuan unable to breathe for ten years."
Guo Huai seemed to congratulate him, but Li Qingxuan always felt that his words were sour.
After leaving the Imperial Envoy's Mansion, Guo Huai's expression was full of complexity.
It seems that this time I really came to Beiguguan to retire, and I have nothing to do with myself at all.
"Sir, this King You is very scary."
Mr. Lu suddenly said something abruptly.
"Yes, of course it is scary to have an army like Shura Cavalry."
Guo Huai responded casually.
"The old slave is not referring to that, but to the man practicing swordplay in the backyard today."
"Oh? Is there anything special about that man?"
Guo Huai said doubtfully.
He knew that his old servant was a ninth-grade master, and there were only a few people in the entire Great Xia who could take his fancy.
"That man's swordsmanship has reached the point of perfection. He is very scary. He is probably a tenth-level master."
When Mr. Lu said this, he took a deep breath and recalled the scene at that time. The other party clearly did not target him, but he felt a huge heart palpitation.
There are soldiers and horses like Shura cavalry, and there are tenth-level masters who are loyal to them.
Originally, Mr. Lu thought that it would be difficult for Li Qingxuan to win against the three major families, but now he suddenly felt that the chances of winning between the three major families and Li Qingxuan seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.
"Mr. Lu, do you think he saw my master's condition that day and would he have any way to cure it?"
Guo Huai's eyes shone with hope.
"this..."
Mr. Lu was also a little unsure.
…
Beiyuan, the royal capital.
Beiyuan Khan, who was feeling sulky, came out of the palace just to vent his anger to the princess.
A soldier ran over in a panic.
"Khan, there's urgent news."
"What happened?"
Beiyuan Khan frowned.
This urgent report has come all the way to his own palace, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter.
"Let the messenger who reports the news come to the study to see the Great Khan."
"yes."
After a while, a man in gray robe hurried in.
As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down with a plop.
"Great Khan, Zuohe City has been captured."
"What?"
Beiyuan Khan's face changed wildly.
"Weren't they told not to go out of the city to meet the enemy? How dare the Lord of Zuohe City disobey this Khan's order."
Beiyuan Great Khan suddenly became angry.
"Qi Khan, the lord of Zuohe City did not leave the city. He was forced to break into the city by Ye Cangqiong."
"The Lord of Zuohe City also died in the battle."
"What? Hurry up and summon the ministers to the main hall to discuss matters, and inform the city lords here to take precautions."
"yes."
The spy had just left.
Someone else came over in a panic.
"Great Khan, Tucheng City has been attacked by the enemy and can no longer withstand it."
"this..."
The Great Khan of Beiyuan was horrified.
The opponent had just conquered Zuohe City, and now went to attack Tuxu City without stopping. Are these people made of iron and don't need to rest?
…
Daxia Palace, on the Star Observation Tower.
Huazhi looked in the north direction and was lost in thought.
After handling government affairs every day, she would wait here eagerly for news from Beiguguan.
Beiguguan is too far away from here, so the message cannot be delivered in time.
Huazhi has lost a lot of weight in the past few days, because she is worried about her husband.
At this moment, a secret letter from the border was carried by the female officer to the stargazing building.
"Your Majesty, battle report from Beiguguan."
"Battle report?"
Huazhi's heart skipped a beat.
Since it is a battle report, it means that Beiyuan really attacked Beiguguan.
She hurriedly asked Xiaolan to present it.
He opened the sealed black dragon scroll and took out the letter inside.
A few lines of writing:
"Bei Yuan's 200,000-strong army invaded the territory and divided into two groups, taking Beiguguan one way and Pingding Town all the way. Both armies were defeated by King You, and they recaptured the three lost towns and killed more than 70,000 enemies in total ..."
At the same time, news about the border crossing also spread throughout the capital as spies from all sides entered the city one after another.
