Chapter 354 Dilemma
"Why is Luoxi's water source gone?" Xueyue Yingxiang tugged at his collar fiercely.

The sweltering heat is already unsettling.

Coupled with the repeated setbacks of the front army's siege, Xiliang soldiers suffered heavy casualties and morale was low, and now there is another problem in the rear.

This famous prairie eagle is also unavoidably a little restless.

The guards looked at each other, but no one said anything.

In recent years, water sources in the depths of the grassland have either shrunk or disappeared, which is nothing new.

Xueyue Yingxiang asked them, who should they ask?
"Have the Luoxi people tried to clear the blockage?" Xueyue Yingxiang asked again.

"Young patriarch, in fact, last year the Luoxi tribe existed in name only and disappeared."

Previously, Ximo was unable to deliver food and grass, and the clansman lost a lot of cattle and sheep, and even lost several pieces of pasture.

Later, the various water sources in the clan have been occupied by the army advancing eastward.

With no cattle and sheep, no pastures, and now no water source, many Luoxi people went out to graze, and even people and livestock disappeared into the vast grassland without knowing where they were going.

"If it disperses, it will disperse." Xueyue Yingxiang didn't care about Luo Xi's life or death at all, "Has the army cleared the water source? Is it blocked or the water is completely gone?"

When he said this, he already had the answer in his heart, but he just didn't want to believe it.

The personal guard also understood this, and replied honestly: "The water source is gone."

Dry!
Xueyue Yingxiang cursed, then ruthlessly tugged at his collar.

It took him a long time to calm down, sighing again and again.

"I didn't expect such an insignificant small and medium-sized tribe like Luoxi to strangle us. What is Wang Ting's plan?"

The guards looked embarrassed, "Young patriarch, Wang Ting's plan is not something that subordinates can just inquire about."

"Why don't you send someone to ask my father?"

Back then, the idea of ​​the Prairie King was very tempting.

All members of the grassland moved eastward, and later generations of descendants took over the behemoth Yunchui.

Unfortunately it backfired.

It has been almost three years since the Xiliang army marched eastward.Yanzhen Fortress and Dianshi City are like two undefeated Xiaoqiang. After paying a huge price, Xiliang people still have no achievements. Up to now, they are still stuck in Benlu and Dingxi County and cannot move forward. Cloud hanging hinterland.

It can be said that now, from the leading general to the barefoot soldier, everyone's thoughts are floating.

Especially the Angel and Blood Moon tribes who were the main force, their own sons and daughters had repeatedly died in battle, but the main force of the Prairie King still stayed in the royal court.

The patriarchs of the two clans couldn't help thinking a little far.

Therefore, Xueyue Yingxiang is also a little uncertain whether to continue to attack or retreat now.

The guards were even more hesitant, "Young Patriarch, there are now two obstacles between Dishstone City and Benlu, one is the Yanfeng Fortress and the other is the Yingling Legion. The casualties of our messengers suddenly became very high. difficulty."

"Nonsense." Xueyue Yingxiang opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Except for a few hills, the west of Stone City is almost flat land.Beyond the border between the two countries is an endless grassland.

There are roads everywhere in unobstructed places, and single-handed messengers can find a place where no one is convenient to enter and exit the grassland. How can it be difficult to deliver messages?

The guards were full of grievances, "What this subordinate said is true."

They can't figure out why, but that's the way it is.

On the top of the mountain about fifteen miles west of Stone City, a pair of binoculars were staring at the land in front of them.

No matter how difficult the Yanzhen Fortress is, the windmill communication has been being built, and pinyin and literacy have been taught. Now many of the Yunchui soldiers can read.

As long as someone came in or out of the Xiliang barracks below, no matter which direction he walked, the eyes would immediately turn the windmill to send a message.

Soon the wind stations in all directions could receive the news, and then let the cavalry set up an ambush in advance.

Xiliang people think they walk in secret, but in fact they will be watched closely in every direction.

Xueyue Yingxiang's face changed, "Even the messengers can guard against them, so did the Yunchui people increase their troops again?"

After speaking, he shook his head.

Xiliang, the eight ancient roads in the Luoxia Mountains where people can walk, also sent people to watch.If Yun Chui had increased troops, there was no reason why he wouldn't know about it.

Unless there are other unknown roads.

----

North Customs, where the Starfall Legion is stationed.

It was raining heavily outside the conference hall, and the hall was silent.

Except for Ren Ning, all the generals and military advisers have arrived.

Wei Junqian finished reading the sternly worded edict in his hand, and passed it on to others, while he himself looked up and silently stared at the map on the wall.

"General," Liao Yufeng, the military adviser next to him, couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty has restricted all of us to be stationed in Baekje before July [-]th. It can be said that as soon as the storm in front of us is over, we have to leave immediately."

"what should I do now?"

snort!
The others looked ugly, but also a little helpless.

"You still have to obey His Majesty's orders." Wei Junqian tapped the map lightly, "Then let's enter Baekje."

hum~
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

With the imperial decree delivered, Wei Junqian had no choice but to obey Emperor Changxing's order and march into Baekje.

This is not surprising.

It's just that the stall in front of me has just been rolled out, so it would be a pity to abandon it like this.

Wei Junqian seemed to have heard the thoughts of his subordinates, "So when you come down, everyone has to do a few things."

"General, please speak." Everyone subconsciously stood up.

"Shipbuilding is related to Yunchui's future, and it must not stop. All the craftsmen and apprentices in the legion who are good at shipbuilding will stay, and continue to recruit civilians so that they can build ships with peace of mind. No one is allowed to disturb. If necessary, you can ask Zhennanguan for help."

Originally, the shipbuilders of the Eastern Sea Barrier were experts in this field. Unfortunately, the current navy has already changed its appearance, and Wei Junqian can only look further away.

"Yes!"

"The role and influence of the newspaper are great, and it will become bigger and bigger. Your Majesty has asked Jin Linwei to investigate and find a way to protect it secretly."

"understand!"

"Don't worry, General. The Jinlin Guards are just idiots, and they can still show off their power under His Majesty's nose. We will ensure that they can't even find them in the south, east, and northwest when we leave Xingji City."

Wei Junqian nodded in satisfaction and continued.

"I heard that Prince Qi is an iron-blooded prince on the battlefield. He probably doesn't want to go back to Xingji City to enjoy peace, so let him stay."

The military advisers were taken aback for a moment, and quickly laughed, "This is easy to handle."

Chen Xiuzhu had vowed at the beginning that he would drive the Japanese pirates into the sea to protect the three northern counties from the Japanese pirates.Then let him fulfill his promise before returning to Xingji City.

"General Guan Luping returned to Xingluo's hometown to take charge of the Rear Blood Camp."

The crowd nodded.

Now in Xingluo's hometown, there are only four ten thousand commanders who are managing the Legion's rear blood camp, and a general is really needed to coordinate the management.In case something major happens in Xijiang and needs support, it can be acted in time.

Someone heard that something was wrong and couldn't help but say: "General, you are..."

It sounded like Wei Junqian had explained all the military affairs clearly, and then appeared incognito.

Wei Junqian nodded: "I'm going to take some people to bypass the eyes and ears of the North Customs and enter the northern grasslands. Baekje will be left to you. Don't lose the face of the Starfall Legion on this small peninsula."

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Soon they came to their senses, all of them had strange expressions on their faces.

But this is nothing new.

When the Xingluo Legion had just been transferred to the Yingshan camp in the south, Wei Junqian also personally went to Zhennanguan and went deep into the two small countries of Vientiane and Baoxiang to persuade them to attack Nanfeng together.

only……

Someone spoke hesitantly.

"General, His Majesty is preparing to establish a crown prince. The choice of the crown prince is related to the fate of our army for the next few decades. It is not appropriate for you to lead the team into Beixiong at this time."

Wei Junqian praised Yang's imperial decree, "Isn't this a last resort?"

He smiled slightly, "Besides, His Majesty only chose the crown prince. It is uncertain who will be able to sit in that position in the future."

cough cough.

Coughing sounded one after another in the conference hall.

The general said directly that the prince is a target now.
