Horse on the World

Chapter 550 Calming the Chaos ([-])

In Youzhou, Xiao Yuanshan stood alone on the hill, looking into the distance, while his personal guards stayed at the foot of the mountain.

Xiao Yuanshan's heart was full of melancholy. Once upon a time, the Xiao family was so energetic that it was almost like ruling the world. However, the situation changed overnight, and the world was turned upside down. The Xiao family was knocked down from the high clouds to the ground. A spectator in the big Chu situation, no, to say that she is a spectator is still exalting herself, and now Youyan is almost in danger.Xiang Ping's 2 troops approached Xiegu, threatening Youyan's safety at all times.As for Youyan's elite soldiers, except for the [-] people he brought back from Qingzhou, the others were recruited temporarily, and in Xiao Yuanshan's view, their combat effectiveness was almost nothing.And Xiang Ping has never attacked Youyan on a large scale, but is just waiting for the end of the war in the Central Plains. The end there is the beginning of Youyan's disaster.

When the news of Li Qing's death came, Xiao Yuanshan felt as if he had been struck by five thunderbolts. His mood at that time could really be described as mournful. Although the two were not friends, on the contrary they were life and death enemies. From the perspective of personal feelings, Li Qing's death should make Xiao Yuanshan feel Happy, but Xiao Yuanshan, who returned to Youyan, knew clearly that the existence of Dingzhou was the key to Youyan's breathing for a longer period of time. With the threat of Dingzhou, Luoyang would not dare to fight Youyan with all his strength. Similarly, Dingzhou will not sit back and watch Luoyang destroy itself.But once Li Qing died, if Qingcheng took control of Dingzhou, not only would Dingzhou not share the pressure for Youyan, but it would become another life-destroying talisman. At that moment, Xiao Yuanshan was in despair.

The forces in other places in Dachu can choose to surrender to Luoyang, but they can't, and there is no possibility of surrendering, and Luoyang will not accept their surrender. The fire in the Luoyang Palace at the beginning pushed Xiao to become the only one. That path is either success or genocide.

That fire!Xiao Yuanshan smiled wryly, now he knew that it was a joke, a big joke, Tian Qi used this fire to hide behind the scenes, and played with all the self-righteous heroes in the world, and finally played with Xiao Shi and King Ning, Now Li Qing from Dingzhou is disabled again.

Even if it was only a stand-in who was burned to death in the fire back then, Mr. Shi's hat of treason has been firmly worn on Xiao Shi's head. Xiao Shi has no way out, but can only fight to the end.

Xiao Yuanshan, who was desperate to the freezing point, suddenly ushered in happiness. The happiness came so suddenly that he was a little at a loss. When Xiang Ping was about to make a move, when he was about to lead the last elite to go to Xiegu, Lu Dalin suddenly sent a special envoy, and his troops were willing to enter Youyan and attack Xiangping together with Youyan's army.

Once Li Qing died, did the Dingzhou army lose control?The news from Lu Dalin made Xiao Yuanshan's imagination run wild, Lu Dalin was not Li Qing's direct confidant, and there was a layer of estrangement from other generals in Dingzhou, Li Qing left, did he want to find another way out?But why do you want to find yourself who is already fading away?
Xiao Yuanshan couldn't figure it out, and at this moment, he didn't want to understand it either. Lu Dalin's troops had more than 4 elite soldiers alone. He is an elite soldier of hundreds of battles, not comparable to the current You Yan. If Lu Dalin joins, he will have the strength to fight Xiang Ping.

No matter what, the arrival of Lu Dalin is of great benefit to You Yan.But one thing Xiao Yuanshan understands is that today's Lu Dalin is no longer his subordinate, but his ally.

A black line appeared in the distance, the black line moved slowly, and soon the first row of soldiers appeared in Xiao Yuanshan's field of vision, Lu Dalin came.

When Xiao Yuanshan mentioned the war horse, the war horse hissed softly, turned around and ran down the mountain.

It was late at night and the banquet was over. In the big tent, except for Xiao and Lu, everyone else retreated. Lu Dalin smiled and sipped a sip of fragrant tea, looked at Xiao Yuanshan, and said, "General Xiao, what questions do you have?" , can you bring it all up now?"

Xiao Yuanshan looked deeply at Lu Dalin, "Yes, I do have a lot of puzzles, and I need brother Lu to clarify them for me!"

"Don't dare!" Lu Dalin leaned slightly and said, "General Xiao is my old boss, so feel free to ask questions!"

Xiao Yuanshan chuckled, the past flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel sullen. Although it had been a long time, if it hadn't been for Lu Dalin's impromptu betrayal, Li Qing would have been killed by the sword, but now, now What's the use?
"At this very moment, General Lu is leading the army here, so Xiao can't ask for it, but Xiao is very puzzled, why did you make such a choice?" Xiao Yuanshan said: "If General Lu can't clear up my doubts, say To be honest, Xiao is really hard to let go!"

"General Xiao thinks that I still have many choices?" Lu Dalin asked rhetorically.

"Of course you have!" Xiao Yuanshan interrupted: "Li Qing is dead, and there should be no doubt that Dingzhou has fallen into Qingcheng's control. If you take refuge in Qingcheng, you will naturally lose your glory and wealth, and you will be refunded [-] yuan. To put it bluntly, even if you don't want to bow down to a woman, it's easy to be a powerful party with tens of thousands of elites in your hands, but why do you think of using all your troops to help Youyan? Luoyang is already in a situation where there is no end to death, but looking at the overall situation of the world today, the apocalypse is already winning, I really don't understand why you are going to die!"

Lu Dalin put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Xiao Yuanshan, and said slowly: "Today is the day when I arrive at Youyan, and at the same time, today is also the day of the other two main divisions in Dingzhou, General Guo Shanfeng's Yishan Division and General Wang Qinian's New Year's Day." The day when the divisions merged and reorganized and attacked Minzhou, General Xiao, while we were drinking and eating meat, our Dingzhou cavalry should have already entered Minzhou!"

With a sound of "dang", the teacup in Lu Dalin's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"What did you say? The Second Division of Guo and Wang attacked Minzhou together?" The shock in Xiao Yuanshan's heart couldn't be further increased. Li Qing was dead. Has the commander-in-chief's mansion and the commander-in-chief's mansion signed a joint order to withdraw from Dingzhou?

Lu Dalin smiled and said nothing.

Xiao Yuanshan stood up abruptly, turned around the room several times quickly, stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Lu Dalin, and said word by word: "It turns out that Li Qing is not dead!"

"Of course the commander-in-chief is not dead!" Lu Dalin said leisurely: "This is just spreading rumors. Many people who hope that the commander-in-chief will die will die ugly this time!"

Xiao Yuanshan's legs were a little weak, he walked back to the chair slowly, and sat down on it, "No wonder, and only this explanation can understand why Wang and Wang merged and reorganized their two divisions, and attacked Minzhou together! Li Qing wants to Clean up the apocalypse severely!"

Lu Dalin said proudly: "No one can collect the loot with a smile after plotting against Dingzhou. We not only let them spit back what they swallowed, but also let him export some of his money!"

Xiao Yuanshan's eyes ignited raging flames, "So, I'm also in Li Qing's scheme here?"

Lu Dalin smiled and said: "This is the reason why I came here, General Xiao, without the command of the commander in chief, would I dare to take tens of thousands of Dingzhou soldiers away without permission? To tell you the truth, General Xiao, even if I had the heart, I would Not capable of this."

Xiao Yuanshan was noncommittal, thinking that Lu Dalin was just being self-effacing. In fact, Xiao Yuanshan really didn't know the basic composition of Dingzhou's army. If Lu Dalin really wanted to leave Dingzhou, most of the officers under his command would mutiny and leave his command immediately.

"What is Li Qing's plan?" Xiao Yuanshan slowly became excited. Being able to hit Tianqi hard will make Youyan safer and allow him to have more time to manage Youyan. Li Qing can rely on a Dingzhou has risen to be the leading tycoon in the Great Chu in a few years, why can't he do it himself, as long as he can overcome the difficulty in front of him.

"Yizhou is now a delicious bait, if Tianqi wants to swallow it, he will definitely choke!" Lu Dalin said: "The two groups of Zhang Aimin and Qu Yongjie are besieging Yizhou on two lines at the same time, and want to take it in one fell swoop. But An Guogong Li Huaiyuan had already taken precautions and prepared a big iron board for them to kick, while my Dingzhou Guowang Group raided Minzhou and cut off Zhang Aimin's back, leaving him with no logistics, a scattered army, and the Guowang Group The day Zhang Aimin leaves Minzhou is when Zhang Aimin's army collapses, how many people Zhang Aimin can take away depends on his ability!"

"In Qingzhou, King Ning will launch a large-scale counterattack against Qiu Zhi's troops, making it impossible for Qiu Zhi to reinforce Qu Yongjie's troops. Whether he can take this opportunity to eat part of Qiu Zhi's army depends on King Ning himself. Of course, we hope that he can bite Qiu Zhi hard!" Lu Dalin laughed.

"If that's the case, we're going to send troops out of Xiegu to attack Xiangping and restrain his troops so that they can't reinforce Tianqi, right?" Xiao Yuanshan said with a smile.

"Exactly, but General Xiao, do you only think so?" Lu Dalin asked back.

Xiao Yuanshan's eyes brightened, "You mean we can go further?"

"The commander-in-chief gave me the order that the general can decide what happens on the front line. In this case, why don't we take a bite of the fat? Although there are many soldiers under Xiang Ping's command, not many have been on the battlefield. General Lu , if we defeat Xiang Ping and defeat Xiang Ping, then Luoyang will be right under our noses!" Lu Dalin laughed.

Xiao Yuanshan was startled, "You still want to attack Luoyang? Luoyang's city defense is the best in the world. For hundreds of years, how has it ever been attacked from outside?"

Lu Dalin smiled, "I didn't think about attacking Luoyang, but if we take soldiers around the city of Luoyang, do you think Tianqi in Xingzhou will jump in a hurry? Will a strong man cut off his wrist? Luoyang is his lair, he Even if he knows we can't attack, he won't let us show off outside Luoyang!"

Xiao Yuanshan looked at Lu Dalin, "I understand, Li Qing wants to get Qinzhou or Minzhou, right?"

"It's okay to have both!" Lu Dalin said leisurely.

"Then what can I get?" Xiao Yuanshan said: "If I really want to go down to Luoyang City, I will pay a lot!"

"Retreat to Ping, relieve Youyan's confidant, General Xiao, is what you got okay?" Lu Dalin raised his head slightly, "It is impossible to expect too much, and sometimes you will be even more disappointed!"

Xiao Yuanshan was furious, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, he really needs him to drive Xiang Ping right now. "Well, although this business is not fair, I did it too. Is it Li Qing who is personally directing the attack on Minzhou and the counterattack against Tianqi?"

"Such a trivial matter, why do you need the commander in person, the commander should have returned to Dingzhou now, right?" Lu Dalin said with a half-smile.

Xiao Yuanshan nodded. When Li Qing returned to Dingzhou, it was natural to quell the chaos. Once Li Qing quelled the civil strife in Dingzhou, Dingzhou's war machine would be fully activated, and more soldiers and horses would flood into the Central Plains. Tianqi stole the chicken this time If you don't lose money, you will be sure of the loss.
