"Your Highness, this is the situation. It is not that our Spirit Province is not willing to send out troops, but that that person has already sent away the Dragon Elephant Knight of the Spirit Province. Furthermore, he has clearly ordered our Spirit Province not to send out troops."

"Is it the general's order or the imperial edict?"

Xu Qingzhi pondered for a moment. He had not expected the Emperor to personally lead an army to the Yangtze River. No wonder he dared to directly send General Qin Liangyu away.

"It was the general's suggestion, and then His Majesty personally sent the message."

Han Zhong took a sip of his tea. Regarding the order to not send troops, even the old general on the battlefield didn't understand why.

"So that's how it is …"

"Oh? What do you mean by that, your highness? "

Xu Qingzhi gently laughed.

"When you are an adult, you can gather troops and horses."

Stunned, Zhang Xuan decided to gather the troops?

"Gather troops and horses? To Saibei? "

Xu Qingzhi stood up and gazed off into the distance towards the north.

"No, we're not going to the north. Since the Great General and the Emperor have already made their plans, we'll follow their plans."

Han Zhong felt that the young man in front of him was unfathomable. Could it be that this young man saw through a battle situation that even he could not understand?

"Has Your Highness seen anything?"

Xu Qingzhi bitterly smiled and shook his head.

"These old foxes, they're planning to play tricks on the prairie!"

"Prairie? Isn't that the conquest of Saipei? "

The Great Prairie will not let go of such a great opportunity. They will definitely send troops to Yanmen, and right now, we can say that we have sent out all of the elites of the Northwest Liangzhou. What could be easier to break than the current Liangzhou?

Han Zhong was not a mediocre person and understood the crux of the matter after some thought.

"So the reason the Great General intentionally left the troops in Youzhou unmoving was to suddenly slaughter his way out when the prairie sent out their troops, and thus catch the grassland barbarians off guard?"

Xu Qinghui smiled and nodded his head.

"Who in this world could have imagined that the Son of Heaven would be personally leading the battle? You Prefecture didn't just watch the fire from the other side of the river, but also watch it from the opposite side."

That's right, no one would have thought that the usually tense Northwest of Chu would cooperate so intimately with the Imperial Court. Even Xu Qingzhi did not dare to think about this.

"Lord …" A letter from the front line. "

As the gatekeeper entered, he happened to hear Xu Qing say that a letter from the front line would arrive in no time at all. The way he looked at Xu Qing seemed a little different.

Xu Qingzhi, on the other hand, didn't care. He was curious as to how Chu Yinan planned to arrange things.

"Quick, let's take a look."

Han Zhong hurriedly opened the letter. As he saw, he was shocked. Indeed, it was as Xu Qingzhi had guessed. Chu Yinan was the soldier that planned to eat the grassland. However, as he continued to read, he started to frown.

Xu Qingzhi realized that something must have happened. Without waiting for him to ask, Han Zhong had already raised his head and let out a long sigh.

"Just like His Highness the crown prince had guessed, the great general did indeed intend to eat the Tarantula that attacked them from the plains, but …"

"But what?"

Xu Qinghui thought to himself, "Not good."

"However, the Great General did not expect that the Great Prairie would put everything on the line this time. He completely ignored General Qin Liangyu's light cavalry and charged straight for Yanmen [1] with a million soldiers …" "Right now, I am afraid that he has already started fighting with the guards of Yanmen."

"What!"

No, it was impossible for him to have the courage that Yale was capable of. Even if he was the rarely seen majestic monarch of the grassland, it was impossible for him to completely disregard his own rear and dig out all the troops of the grassland to go straight for Yanmen. This was inevitably a conspiracy of the prince; no, it should be a scheme of his own.

Even though he knew that Prince Fu's main goal was to get Chu Huainan to return to the army, Chu Huainan still had no choice but to submit to him and use Yanmen Gate to exchange for Saibei. Chu Huainan would absolutely not do that.

"Great General …" But did they return to the army? "

Xu Qing could not think of any other way to break through the encirclement of the Yanmen Alliance. The only one who could think of right now was Chu Huainan's army fighting back. In order to avoid being cut off, Yeru Jin did not dare to continue surrounding the Yanmen Alliance.

"No, not only did the great general not return to the army, he even increased the speed of his attack." No, not only did the great general not return to the army, he even increased his attack on Caibei.

"What?" How can that be? Even if there are hundreds of elite warriors under the command of Wang Mingyang, the number of soldiers defending Yanmen is simply too few. If Yarugin were to take turns attacking the city, he would definitely not be able to hold on. "

He did not believe that Chu Huainan would not understand this, and he also did not believe that Chu Huainan would use the Swallow Gate to wager with the Prince of Saibei, or who had the fastest time to take him down.

"Because at this moment, General Qin Liangyu said … It directly goes to the north of the Mo Bei Royal Courtyard! "

After saying this, Han Zhong let out a sorrowful cry. Qin Liangyu's actions were undoubtedly using his own life in exchange for a chance.

If he did not remember wrongly, Qin Liangyu had already brought five thousand men to fight in Mo Bei for half a month. He did not know how many people were left in this half a month, but he knew that during this half a month, the several thousand cavalry soldiers would not stop battling, and they would not even have time to rest.

The current number one warrior, only Qin Liangyu could be one!

Xu Qingzhi slowly spoke after staring at the letter for a long time.

"Master, quickly go and redeploy the troops. We will immediately rush to Yanmen Mountain. Boy, you don't have to stay any longer, farewell."

Han Zhong naturally noticed Xu Qingzhi's abnormality.

"Your Highness, where are you going?"

The war in the Northwest was chaotic, with an army of a million soldiers surrounding Yanmen. If something were to happen to Xu Qingzhi, then Chu Yinan would definitely be upset.

"General Qin Liangyu alone is not enough to bring Yeruzin back to the prairie!"

"..."

The ancients had said: "The wind blows and the water is cold, but the strong ones will never return once they go."

At this moment, Xu Qingzhi was standing at the edge of this river. He turned his head to look in the direction of Yanmen Gate, which was very far away, but Xu Qinzhi seemed to still feel the blood and fire there.

"Yun Chang, this time we will first go to the grasslands, then we'll go to Saibei."

"Prairie? "Alright, alright, I've never been to the Great Prairie before either."

Mo Yunchang's temper was unrelenting, and she still did not understand the meaning behind Xu Qingzhi's words. "However, Chu Yi knew this in her heart.

"Have you thought it through? Should I wait for Senior Wang Jing to come back first? "

Xu Qingzhi shook his head. He would wait for Wang Jing to come back before leaving. Who knew, Qin Liangyu might have already died in the battle in Wang Ting of the Northern Desert.

"Let's go!"

The three of them urged their horses on their way. Xu Qing believed that as long as he could appear on the Northern Desert, Yeru Jin would not miss this rare opportunity to capture him. Even if he could not completely evacuate the army, he would at least send a portion of his men to surround him.

As long as Chu Yinan could buy time, he would be able to take the north first. The army of a million strong that had surrounded Yanmen would be able to break itself!

At the same time, Yanmen's Gate was closed.

"What?" "Then the Prince Huai from the Northwest Huai has gone to the prairie?"

Yershin looked as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. Wasn't Crown Prince Huai a fool?

"That's right, the news is accurate. Right now we have already stepped into the borders of the prairie, and it is said that the current crown prince of Chu and the daughter of the Martial National Monastery's Lakeview Manor are following us!"

Yerugin opened his eyes.

Crown Prince, Crown Prince …

If these two were captured …

"Burn your way back to the king's palace and stop Qin Liangyu's men. Don't let them fight with these three."

"Yeruda Pass, I will give you 100,000 people. You must arrange a search route to capture these three!"

A bald, red-faced man and a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Yershin took their orders.

The two men were the biggest chief of the Bokonononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononandhis brother, Jerodaononononononononononononononononononen.

After receiving the order, the eighty thousand people of the Qi Ben Clan immediately rushed to the prairie. As for Yeruda, after receiving the order, they stopped after entering the prairie.

"If I were this prince, where would I go?"

Yeruda Pass is one of the few wise men on the prairie who has grown wise, and that is why Yeruddin gave him the job of finding a man like a needle in a haystack.

As a wise general of the prairie, Yeruda clearly knew that this was Xu Qingzhi buying Chu Huainan time for Yanmen to relieve the pressure. However, the people of the Central Plains had a good saying.

"Bring the map."

If one were to say how familiar he was with the prairie, he didn't believe that a kid could compare to himself.

"I heard that the crown prince started from Youzhou. He can only cross the Mohe River. However, after crossing the Mohe River, there are three paths that lead to the King's Court …"

"Shentu, Jiu Li, and Lan Chou. Each of you, bring 30,000 people to search along these three paths."

The three people who were called departed with their orders.

Yeruda looked at the ten thousand men and horses behind him.

Although he didn't know why, he still felt that the Crown Prince wouldn't take any of the three paths, but if he didn't take any of the three paths … Could it be that he had to go through all of the tribes' residences?

This was obviously impossible, but in order to be safe, Yalda Pass decided to bring these ten thousand people along the various tribes and see if they could hear anything.

In reality, this was Xu Qingzhi's true plan.

Who said he had to go to Wang Ting?

Not only did Xu Qingzhi not think of going to Wang Ting, he did not even think of going to Qin Liangyu. He knew that wandering the prairie all this time was actually helpful to Qin Liangyu. If he was to be associated with Qin Liangyu, not only would it not help him in the slightest, it would also attract those people who were pursuing him.

His plan was to go to the Great Prairie and fight Yeruda as a guerrilla force without taking the main road to the King's Court. He would pass through the tribes and get disguised so that he wouldn't be discovered so easily even if he didn't say anything. He would just wait for Yeruda to change his path and lead the people in the pass by the nose, unless he had the courage to spread out a million strong army on the Great Prairie and search them thoroughly. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to find him within the next dozen or twenty days.

The grassland was not like the inner regions. Xu Qingzhi's understanding of the grassland was not even as deep as his understanding of the Northern Desert.

This was the bitter cold of the Northern Lands. To a certain extent, it was close to Saibei, especially with the sparse vegetation and flowing water.

At this moment, Xu Qingzhi was bringing Mo Yunchang around a small tribe of the White Horse Clan. Mo Yunchang was very curious about everything, especially the women who were making the straw sandals.

"Xu Qingzhi, can you even wear shoes like this?"

It was not Mo Yunchang's fault for not knowing. Even Xu Qingzhi had only seen this in books. Chu was a country with abundant resources, and its economy was far greater than that of the prairie. Chu did not use these kinds of grass and shoes for a long time. Even in a small, barren county, there was still a minimum of a pair of cloth shoes.

"The grassland has many vegetation, but unlike the Central Plains, it can not weave cloth, so it can only weave on the spot."

Chu Ying was the current crown prince, so she naturally knew more.

"Look, where can we find a Chinese shop?"

Indeed, when Xu Qingzhi and Chu Yin looked over, the familiar words' money 'was very conspicuous in this foreign land.

"This should be a shop opened by the Shang and Qian Families of the Central Plains. Most of the shops here in the northwest are for business, and at the same time, there will be a few shops selling products from the Great Prairie in our Chu Country." Even war would not touch these shops. This is a rule that both sides abide by tacitly. "

That's right, especially the wolf skin and unique fruits were especially favored by the Central Plains aristocratic families, each taking what they needed. If it were food or cloth weapons, they would definitely not be allowed to be sold privately.

"Come, let's go take a look."

Xu Qingzhi took the lead and walked to the store's entrance. Only then did he discover that most of the waiters were actually people from the Central Plains. Very few were from the prairie. However, most of those looking at goods were from the local prairie.

"I didn't expect the two places to be at war, but their business dealings are so close."

Xu Qing and the other two tied up their horses and said with a smile.

"They only sell some harmless things. If we were to privately negotiate about food and military supplies, we would have to chop off their heads."

Chu Wei seemed to have long known about the business dealings between the two places. However, it seemed that she didn't like this kind of social interaction.

"Savadika..." "Huh?"

The assistant first smiled merrily as he approached Xu Qing and the other two, speaking for a few miles. However, he suddenly stopped and leaned over to ask in a low voice, "The Central Plains?"

Xu Qinzhi looked at this shop assistant's solemn face, even constantly looking out.

"Qian Family?"

Only now did the shop assistant notice the extraordinary youth behind Xu Qingzhi. His eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. He was carrying a huge cloth, and the young lady beside him was actually carrying a large sword.

"Qian Family Shop."

The shop assistant said in a low voice. Chu Yin nodded her head, indicating that Xu Qing was fine.

As long as it was a Qian Clan Shop, Chu Ying was sure that even if the three of them brazenly shouted out their identities, even if the Qian Clan Shop didn't want to sell their goods on the prairie and violated the rule that merchants were not allowed to participate in the war between the two places, they would still desperately escort them back to the Northwest.

"From the northwest."

Xu Qingzhi gave a faint smile in response.

Northwest?

The shop assistant was shocked. He recalled the arrest of the three people from the northwest side that had been announced today, and secretly compared their descriptions to the rest of the three people … Sure enough, it was them. Who was it that had the grasslands announce to the various tribes that they were going to capture? They even dispatched over a hundred thousand people to search for him.

The shop assistant knew that this was a big problem, so he went up to the second floor to invite the shopkeeper over.

Xu Qingzhi, on the other hand, did not expect that a sudden impulse of his would cause the Qian Family to wade in this muddy water. He felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

"Hutuo Dala, Ta Si Ta Si."

The shop assistant came down from the second floor and enthusiastically held Xu Qingzhi's hand. As he spoke, he led the three of them to the second floor. Xu Qingzhi laughed out loud. It was just that he did not understand the language of the plains, but he knew that this assistant was definitely covering for him. He could only cooperate with the laughter and appeared to be very happy.
