This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 536 State Bandits
There are many soldiers under Cao Su's command, and this time he brought more than a hundred soldiers.

Among them, there are more than [-] fighters who are at the peak of the three peaks of Qi and blood, and the rest, including Shi Yong, belong to the fighters of the strength realm.

The warriors participated in the fights in the rivers and lakes, and some of them gained experience through the experience of life and death.

There are more than a dozen qi and blood warriors who have accumulated a lot of knowledge, and this time they successfully broke through to the realm of strength.

The peak fighters selected here are only one step away.

Always like this, Cao Su still felt that the speed of progress was too slow.

But after all, not everyone can make rapid progress like him. He is only in his early 20s, and he is already about to enter the first-rank realm.

The soldiers were also injured, more than a hundred soldiers, and about a dozen died in the end.

Of course, there are also many people who have obtained some treasures in the religious palace. This is an opportunity. It is hoped that in the next time, through the resources obtained in the religious palace, they will continue to improve their martial arts realm.

When Cao Su asked Shi Yong and others what they had obtained, Shi Yong and others took out all their gains and let Cao Su observe.

"Erotic Heart Grass, Breaking Spirit Pill, Purple Mother Bronze, Jade Light Sword"

The things obtained by the soldiers should be lined up.

Cao Su took a look and reckoned that someone must have secretly hidden some good things.

He didn't go too far to find out what good things the soldiers took. Originally, he brought these soldiers here this time to let them improve their status and break through the bottleneck.

"That's right, keep these things to yourself."

Cao Su picked up the green light sword and looked at it. The sword was three feet sharp, and its body was as cold as snow. It was a good weapon. Unfortunately, he only used a knife, so he didn't have much interest in good swords.

"General, we also found a knife."

Shi Yong presented treasures to Cao Su and found a long knife among a pile of items.

Cao Su's eyes lit up, and he took the long knife from Shi Yong.

The word "red copper" is engraved on the handle of the long knife, and it is called "red copper knife". The body of this knife is pitch black, but the opening is extremely sharp. As far as Cao Su is concerned, there is not much difference between holding this knife in his hand and directly using a horizontal knife.

"It's a pity, the knife is not bad, it's a little lighter."

Cao Su put the knife back.

Cao Su didn't even think much of the treasures found by the soldiers.

This made Shi Yong slightly disappointed, feeling that everyone had failed the general's expectations.

"Distribute the things well, and count according to the military merits of the siege of Eclipse."

"These are the keys for soldiers to break through the power realm. Only by breaking through the power realm as soon as possible can we gain greater initiative in the future battlefield." Cao Su and Shi Yong revealed their thoughts a little bit.

Future battlefield?

Shi Yong was secretly surprised, and a touch of anxiety also emerged in his heart.

The "future battlefield" mentioned by Cao Su should be the battle with Youbei League.

Ever since Cao Su led his army to Youzhou Mansion, Cao Su has been promoting the idea and tone of a decisive battle with the Youbei League, and the Pingbei Army also regards the Youbei League as the biggest enemy at present.

Now that Cao Su himself said this matter, although he didn't say it explicitly, it seems that General Cao has made a decision.

Cao Su said in a deep voice: "So, you should prepare early to deal with future risks and challenges."

Shi Yong's expression froze, and he answered yes loudly.
-
Cao Su led these more than a hundred people to rush all the way.

Ten days later, the team arrived outside Youzhou Mansion.

At this time, a rider hurried over from a distance. Cao Su had good eyesight, and he saw Zhang Ke's spies at a glance.

Tanma hurried over, galloped to Cao Su's face, and then got off his horse.

"Report-"

Cao Su reined in his steed and sat down, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

This sergeant came galloping from a distance, dressed in travel and dust, with a look of anxiety on his face. After seeing Cao Su, he immediately said: "General, Dongping County urgently reports that there seems to be traces of the enemy."

"General Zhang Ke asks for orders, and I hope that the general will return to Youzhou Mansion as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation."

Where is the enemy in Dongping County?
As soon as this remark came out, Cao Su and everyone under his command were slightly surprised.

Cao Su looked as usual, calmly said: "When did it happen?"

"Three days ago, Dongping County scouts came to report that there was turmoil in various households in Dongping County, and some northern barbarians appeared outside the county. It is very likely that Li Xingxi's rebellious army attacked, so there was a warning message."

Li Xingxi's rebellion?
Cao Su was a little surprised.

Li Xingxi is a great bandit who runs across the two prefectures of Youliao, and is also the source of the turmoil in the two prefectures.

Originally, this time Cao Su came to Youzhou as General Pingbei to calm down the banditry in the two states and restore the stability of the two states.

That's why he was named "General Pingbei".

After Cao Su came to Youzhou Mansion, he never let down his vigilance against Youbeimeng and Li Xingxi. Most of his scouts were also sent to the north and east, and there were even more scouts in the east.

However, Li Xingxi spread across the two states and claimed to have a huge army of [-] under his command, so the combat power of his own army may not be as high as Cao Su's.

So Cao Su's judgment on Li Xingxi is that this person should not take the initiative to trouble him.

At least it was only after Liaozhou continued to plunder enough resources that they would think of going west to find Cao Su.

Unexpectedly, it had just entered winter, and the temperature dropped, and Li Xingxi's headquarters changed a little bit.

If Li Xingxi led the army over, then Cao Su would have to fight, and Dongping County was a place that Cao Su thought early on would definitely become a place of war.

Dongping is located two hundred miles northeast of Youzhou Prefecture. This place is called "County", but it is actually a geographical division of a main city with multiple small cities. During the period of Emperor You, this place was once prosperous for a period of time.

After the vicissitudes of life, the number of people in this place has decreased, the economy has ceased to prosper, and several small towns have become desolate.

Now there is only one "Dongping City", which can be regarded as the core of "Dongping County".

The city is located between the Dongping Mountains and the Mojiang River, which is an important river that runs through the Youdong region and Liaozhou.

Cao Su turned around and gave orders to Shi Yong.

"Shi Yong."

"The end is here."

"Lead the team and rush to Youzhou Mansion as quickly as possible!"

After getting the news of Li Xingxi's change, Cao Su naturally wouldn't waste time on the road.

After giving instructions to Shi Yong, he jumped up from the horse, and then his body was full of strength, and he flew directly into the air.

Suddenly it turned into a stream of light, passed between the sky and the earth, and disappeared in everyone's sight.

Shi Yong watched Cao Su leave, and then led the team alone to rush to Youzhou Mansion.
-
Cao Su flew in the air.

In the air, he identified the direction and flew directly to the east.

With the advent of winter, the temperature in the whole of Youzhou has dropped, and the rivers on the ground have frozen over in the cold season.

And the unmelted snow covered a large tract of land, even on the plains, you can only see this white world.

Cao Su is the second rank of the strength realm, and his flying speed is extremely fast, and the distance of hundreds of miles can be passed in an instant.

In less than two hours, Cao Su flew to Dongping County.

He observed silently in the air and found nothing wrong.

"Dongping, further east is the Mojiang River, cross the Mojiang River and enter the territory of Liaozhou."

Cao Su had already memorized the maps of several states in the north. Standing on a high place and looking down at this time, the topography and landforms were even more clear at a glance.

The torrential river in the distance is also imprinted in the eyes.

Most of the river channels are frozen. This big river has a lot of water, but it is not completely frozen. Looking into the center of the river, you can still see sparkling water, and there seems to be drift ice floating on the water surface.

Cao Su slowly drifted over. If Li Xingxi really came to attack, then this Mojiang River was a natural moat that he had to cross.

Otherwise, you will have to detour from the north, but if you detour from the north, you will enter the Hengduan Mountains in the middle of Youzhou, and the detour is not a little bit.

So Cao Su judged that Li Xinglun would definitely come from Dongping County.

He flies in the sky and observes silently.

Second-rank masters come to do the investigation in person, and there are not many forces in the world who can do this.

Cao Su's eyes were sharp. Although he was thousands of meters away in the sky, he could still see every tree and grass on the ground clearly.

After his gaze passed over Mojiang, he continued to move forward.

Finally, he focused slightly, and saw a small group of cavalry galloping across the wilderness.

"Cavalry scout?"

Cao Su frowned, the costumes of those cavalry were a bit like the nomadic costumes he saw in Liangzhou.

Cao Su knew that there were also nomads in Youzhou and Liaozhou, but they were not as large as the nomads in Xizhou.

He ignored this cavalry and continued to fly forward.

Not long after, in a certain city in Liaozhou, I saw a banner with the word "Li" flying high.

Liaozhou, Jincheng.

Li Xingxi's army gathers!
"It's really here!"

Cao Su's heart moved, and he was ready to visit from the sky.

But just as he was about to fall, a rumbling sound suddenly appeared in the brocade city.

"Where is the expert visiting?"

The voice was mighty and mighty, spreading throughout the entire sky.
-
Liaozhou, Jincheng.

Jincheng is one of the big cities in western Liaoning and the last big city across the Mojiang River.

More than ten days ago, Li Xingxi led the army under his command to conquer the city directly.

This city, Li Xingxi's heart is determined.

As long as he wins Jincheng, Liaozhou will become the turtle in his urn for Li Xingxi, and he can attack the remaining Liaozhou cities that are stubbornly resisting, and there is no need to worry at all.

In the city lord's mansion, Li Xingxi discussed with his military advisor about crossing the river.

Li Xingxi is a burly young man, not very old, with outstanding martial arts cultivation, he is already a master of the second rank of strength.

It is said that Li Xingxi is also intentionally included in this issue of the Dragon and Tiger List, but Li Xingxi's record is not dazzling enough, even if he is included in the Dragon and Tiger List, he can only be in the top [-].

Li Xingxi's military adviser is a middle-aged scribe in a blue gown.

This scribe has sharp eyes, like a vicious eagle, and his temperament is rather gloomy.

"According to Pindao's prediction, there should be a heavy snowfall here in two days."

"I'm afraid this heavy snow will last for a long time. The general should make a plan early. Should he forcefully cross the Mojiang River and capture Dongping before the heavy snowfall, or wait for the heavy snow to freeze the Mojiang River, and then take it slowly?"

The scribe gave Li Xingxi two options.

Li Xingxi snorted coldly, with some dissatisfaction on his face: "It's all because Yun Zhengxin is so impatient, otherwise why would I rush over to tease Cao Su's ass? It ended up in this snowstorm."

"This is the winter season, which is not conducive to large army operations. If the Mojiang River is not crossed, I am afraid that Cao Su will react."

Li Xingxi seemed a little dissatisfied with Yun Zhengxin between his words.

He and Yun Zhengxin are in a cooperative relationship, and he and Luo Jian are real partners, but now in order to stop Cao Su who is becoming more and more rampant in the Younan area, Luo Jian used Li Xingxi's card in advance to let Li Xingxi lead the army to attack Cao Su Su.

It is said to be an attack, but it is actually a restraint. As long as Cao Su is held back, Cao Su's food and morale will be consumed.

This is what Luo Jian said to Li Xingxi.

The middle-aged scribe Weng Xiao in front of Li Xingxi shook his head, and said: "No way, Yun Zhengxin is hesitant, he is not the one who caused trouble, but Mr. Luo Jian is the guardian appointed by all the virtuous teachers, how can his vision be bad? Where to go?"

"Cao Su is a confidant of the Emperor Daozong. After the death of Daozong, Cao Su was sent to Youzhou because of the central power struggle. Although he was a victim of the power struggle, this man was loyal to the royal family. So there will definitely be a battle between you and him, it is unavoidable."

"It's better to be earlier, because everyone is not prepared earlier, lest he take the iron barrels operated by Youzhou Mansion together, and it will be difficult to handle at that time."

After the middle-aged scribe finished speaking, Li Xingxi's complexion became a little better.

But there is still some anger in his heart: "Mr. Weng, it is said that there are many powerful generals under Cao Su's tent, and they seem to have colluded with several sects in the south. Even if the battle is not in Youzhou Mansion, it may not be so easy to deal with."

Li Xingxi still felt distressed that his army had become a direct consumption of Cao Su, so why fight half of it and wait for the Youbei League to join?Why didn't You Beimeng resist for a while, and then he entered the arena again?

There is a lot to say about this sequence.

Weng Xiao, a middle-aged scholar, has nothing to say. Those who fight Cao Su first will be consumed first, which is unavoidable.

But from the perspective of the overall situation, Li Xingxi's tent now has a large number of people, and the rations for the winter have not yet been collected. It is not a bad thing to spend a wave with Cao Su and train his army to be more elite.

But such frenzied words, the middle-aged scribe Weng Xiao just flashed through his mind and didn't say it directly.

"If you fight Cao Su, you need to pay special attention to Cao Su's surprise attack."

"Although Cao Su is not very old, he is good at fighting. In the past, in the three places of Xizhou, Cao Su led his army across Xizhou. Earlier, he also fought against Wanping's army in Yuzhou, Jiangzhou and other places. Whenever he is defeated, he is skilled in the art of war and good at surprise attacks."

Li Xingxi had studied some of Cao Su's battles, so he naturally knew Cao Su's achievements.

That's why he was so afraid of Cao Su.

This kind of general who is good at surprise attacks is the most difficult to guard against. He may be defeated by his surprise attack inexplicably.

On the battlefield, there must be absolutely no carelessness.

He also sneered when he heard the words: "I will never give him a chance to attack by surprise. As long as my army crosses the Mojiang River, I will use Dongping County as the foundation and advance step by step. He is defeated."

Li Xingxi had a clear mind, and the strategic framework for this battle with Cao Su was clear at a glance.

Weng Xiao, a middle-aged scribe with a gloomy face, nodded. What Li Xingxi said is more reliable. This battle will still be fought, and the state of rage just now was not caused by the leader.

He opened his mouth, and just about to say something, suddenly his face changed drastically.

Weng Xiao suddenly stood up from the chair he was sitting on, and looked up at the sky.

"what happened?"

Li Xingxi quickly followed and stood up.

And Weng Xiao's face was ugly, and when he put his hands together, a strong wave of mana fluttered from his body, and his figure suddenly jumped upwards, directly smashing through the beams of the city lord's mansion, and flew into the air.

Accompanied by a surge of mana, a mighty and huge voice came from Weng Xiao's mouth.

"Where is the expert visiting?"

"Why hide, why don't you go down to the city and see?"
