Chapter 475: Soldiers approach the city(1/2)

After listening, Li Ye carried the snowflakes outside the tent and said softly: "Burn the bodies of the fallen soldiers, take the ashes back, and leave the pension matter to you two."

Ma Feihu asked again: "Take them all back? Do the wounded want to go to White Jade City with us?"

Li Ye looked at him, nodded and said, "Wherever we are, the wounded will be there."

The eldest prince looked at Li Ye who was obviously not in high spirits, waved to everyone, and said: "Since we have decided to take a few days of rest, let's take a good rest for a few days and let everyone relax."

Li Ye looked at the eldest prince and the people in the room, pointed to the sky outside the tent and said: "Three days, if it continues to snow in three days, we will set off after breakfast early in the morning."

He hoped to wait for clear weather to make it easier for the army to travel.

But he only said that things like the weather have always been a matter of luck, and who can control it?

I can't do it myself, and neither can those in White Jade City and Imperial City.

Xia Wutong stared at him for a long time, opening his mouth several times to say something, but nothing came out.

Tang Qiuyu looked at her appearance and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

Wutong looked at her and shook his head, then whispered back: "Nothing, I just want to ask my junior brother how to deal with those prisoners of war."

Tang Qiuyu turned to look at Li Ye without saying anything.

Li Ye looked at Xia Wutong who was hesitant to speak, and suddenly felt that besides Mu Mu, there was another woman in the world who could give him a headache.

Looking at the two of them, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Those who are willing to stay have been assigned to various camps by Brother Nalan and General Ma, and those who are unwilling to stay have been sent home."

Listening to Li Ye's answer, two red clouds flew up on Xia Wutong's face. He looked at Li Ye and said, "I'm just worried that Junior Brother will drive them all away... But now it seems that I am too much."

Consider it."

Xia Wutong finally spoke out what was worrying her. After all, she and the eldest prince were both born from the same mother.

"Let's all go back and have a rest. Let the Imperial Master also have a good rest for two days. Everyone is exhausted these days." The eldest prince said while looking at the people waiting in the big tent.

Li Ye looked at everyone and said gently: "If you want to drink tonight, come here."

"I still eat barbecue!" Yeluyan, who had been silent for a long time, looked at the eldest prince and Li Ye with a pair of phoenix eyes, an expression that the two could not refuse.

"No problem! I will teach the Grand Marshal how to barbecue tonight." Although Li Ye replied calmly, he couldn't help but glance at the eldest prince, thinking that I am helping you.

"I'm sorry for bothering you, Imperial Master." The eldest prince didn't understand what he meant. He thought to himself that since you have already roasted me on the fire, I must show off.

"Then it's agreed that we'll come back after the time is set." After Tang Qiuyu finished speaking, he stood up and took Xia Wutong's hand and walked outside the tent.

Mu Mu glanced at Li Ye, then at Yeluyan, then took her hand and smiled: "It's too cold, let's go back to sleep." After that, the two of them left the tent.

Xia Yunyuan looked at Li Ye and said, "I'm in the big tent nearby. If you need anything, just call me!" After saying that, without waiting for a reply, he followed Nalan Yu, Ma Feihu, Jiang Huo and others and left.

The eldest prince added a few pieces of charcoal to the brazier, looked at Li Ye and said, "I'm going to have a good rest. The chest injury doesn't seem to be completely healed yet."

Li Ye looked at him and smiled: "Would you like me to call Princess Yelu to come over and rub it for you?"

The eldest prince glared at him, lifted up the quilt and got in.

Li Ye watched everyone leave and sighed softly. Just as the eldest prince said, he just wanted to be alone for a while, and the person who understood him the most here, besides Mu Mu, was the eldest prince.

He put on his shoes and got into the animal skin quilt, pulled the quilt over his head, held in silence for a long time, and then exposed his head and said: "In order to complete the entrustment of the emperor, I have worked hard.

.”

The prince was stunned, looked at the tent roof and said with a smile: "Don't you ignore me without my father's instructions?"

Li Ye shook his head and replied helplessly: "To be honest, I really haven't thought about this. After all, we are not familiar with each other."

The second half of his words obviously irritated the eldest prince, who couldn't help but turn over and look at Li Ye while he was lying on his back. He smiled and cursed: "I gave my sister to you."

"You gave the princess to me? She is not an object. Is it appropriate for you to speak like this?" Both the emperor and the eldest prince wanted to give Xia Wutong to him, which gave him a great headache.

The eldest prince looked at him and shook his head slowly, and said seriously: "The problem is, she also likes you very much."

Looking at the wisp of mist on the top of the tent, Li Yesi said after a moment: "These are all unsolvable, and I won't consider anyone. I will wait until I come back from Fangcun Mountain to practice."

In one sentence, he not only blocked Xia Wutong, but also blocked the young lady from the Imperial Academy.

My practice is only half full, and I don’t know how far I am from meeting your teacher’s requirements. At the very least, I have to practice the eighth level of the Formless Dharmakaya to perfection first.

Otherwise, if you encounter practitioners who are in the late stage of distraction or in the Tribulation Realm, you will have no choice but to run away.

The eldest prince slowly looked away and said calmly: "That's okay!"

That means, whether you can hide from the monk or the temple, your mother and husband are still there.

Li Ye shook his head and replied: "Stop it, let me have a good rest."

The eldest prince also felt that he could not push him too hard, so he could only say: "Okay."

...

The southern Xinjiang army rested for two days due to strong winds.

Linghu Zhen, the city lord Jiang Daofeng and others in Baiyu City suffered for two days because the news from the secret whistle was that there was no movement of the southern Xinjiang army and it seemed that it was stationed at Feng Lingdu.

Since there was no war, they just sent a message to the Imperial City about Feng Lingdu's defeat. There was no movement in the past two days, so there was no battle report to send further, and they did not wait for a reply from above.

Many times waiting is the hardest part.

Although there are 50,000 defenders in the city, Linghu really knows that if a war breaks out, these people are no match for the southern Xinjiang army. He is now thinking about how to find an opportunity to sneak away quietly.

As long as he returns to the imperial city, he won't have to face all the responsibilities.

After all, the sky fell, and there were still the right prime minister, the new emperor, and others above.

Only then did he understand that living was the most important thing. If the imperial city could not be saved by then, he would continue to slip away and, with his own cultivation, find a job as an official in the Domain Lord's Mansion.

Still not difficult.

He is now a little worried about the group of powerful people in the imperial city. He thinks that it is not good for you to offend anyone, but you have to offend the generalissimo and the national advisor who have pacified the southern border. These are the two most influential people in the five regions at the moment.

Personal figures.

No matter whether it was the powerful ministers of the dynasty or the common people, who didn't know that it was the national advisor who led the imperial army on an expedition and assisted the general marshal in quelling the war in southern Xinjiang?

In terms of people's will, half of this battle is lost before it is even fought.

Before he came, he wouldn't believe it even if he died, but now that he believed it, it didn't help.

Just like a prisoner awaiting death, waiting day by day for the execution day to arrive.

And he didn't dare to say these words to Jiang Daofeng, because even if he did, the other party wouldn't believe him, and he might even get the reputation of shaking the morale of the army.

In just a few days, Linghu felt as if he had suffered a lifetime.

...

After both parties had been suffering for two days, on the morning of the third day, at 15:00, Li Ye pushed open the tent and looked up.

I couldn't help but murmured softly: "It's God's will!"

The eldest prince who heard the commotion also walked out of the tent, looked at him blankly and asked: "Master, what are you talking about?"

Li Ye raised his finger and pointed at the sky and smiled: "The snow has stopped!"

The eldest prince didn't understand. He looked at him and asked, "The snow has stopped. Is anything good going to happen?"

Li Ye looked up at the gray sky and said softly: "After eating in a while, we will set off at three quarters. We can arrive at Bai Jade City before noon."

"Is the attack on Baiyu City going to be launched today?" The eldest prince was startled. He thought that Li Ye would have to rest for another day before considering the deployment of the army.

Li Ye stretched out his hand to feel it and said with a smile: "The wind has become lighter today, which is suitable for us to attack the city!"

Nalanyu, who usually likes to sleep in, also got up early today, looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you ready to go?"

Li Ye looked at him and smiled and said: "Brother, please send the order. The army will have breakfast and set off for Baiyu City on time at three o'clock. Let Wang Tianhua and the others bring all the heavy equipment!"

"We're going to attack White Jade City today?" Nalanyu became more energetic after hearing this. Taking White Jade City early means that the army can return to the imperial city earlier.

"Tonight, we are going to have dinner at the City Lord's Mansion in White Jade City!" Li Ye looked at him and said with a smile, "Can you do it?"

"Pile up all our heavy equipment, and within two hours at most, we are guaranteed to capture the White Jade City!" Nalan Yu thought of the power of the heavy siege troops, patting his chest and laughing.

The eldest prince, who had been listening quietly, now said: "There are still many defenders in the city."

After hearing this, Nalan Yu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "We still have tens of thousands of slaves, so what are we afraid of? Even if there are 50,000 troops in the city, they can't defeat us."

Li Ye looked at him and said softly: "Just follow the previous method. Before attacking, shoot hundreds of letters. Whether you are afraid of them or not, you have to scare them."

The eldest prince looked at him and asked in surprise: "National Master, do you still use this trick?"

Li Ye looked at the smoke rising from the barracks and said thoughtfully: "This trick is easy to use, why don't you continue to use it?"

The dozens of arrows Mu Mu shot at the beginning scared away the 20,000-strong army. Li Ye thought that if the defenders of Bai Jade City were afraid of the Generalissimo, some of them might not run away. After all, people like Jiang Daofeng would not

many.

Ma Feihu also led his war horse to outside Li Ye's tent, looked at the three of them and asked, "Are we going to attack White Jade City?"

Nalan Yu looked at him and smiled and said: "Hurry up and have a meal, and order the army to set off on time at three o'clock!"

When Ma Feihu heard this, he cupped his hands with Li Ye and the eldest prince and said, "General, I will go and deliver the order right now."

Nalan Yu looked at Ma Feihu who had mounted his horse and left. He looked at the two of them and said, "I'm going too."

Li Ye waved to him and said, "Let everyone eat enough. We may not have time to cook at noon today."
