Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 291 Sword Guide Yang
After being quiet for a while, and letting Ah Niu digest the excitement in his heart, Li Fei continued to ask.

"What's the situation in Nanyang now?" More than five months ago, Shannan Jiedu envoy Lu Jiong gathered the defeated Yingchuan soldiers and Nanyang's own troops, a total of [-] troops, to defend Nanyang and resist An Lushan's general Wu Lingxun. It has been half a year since the rebels led by the Khitan and Xi allied forces attacked.

Nanyang was an important town in the Central Plains during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It had a large population and guarded the north-south routes.

"My lord, the mountains and rivers around Nanyang City are complicated, and the rebels cannot be completely trapped to death. However, it is not easy to enter Nanyang with grain and grass materials from outside. After nearly half a year of consumption, not only more than half of the defenders in the city were killed and injured, but also the shortage of grain and grass. A bucket of grain can be sold for fifty guan, and a mouse can be sold for four to five hundred renminbi, many people died of starvation, and there are even rumors of eating the corpses of the dead, if this continues, I’m afraid it won’t last for many days.” A Niu really has a lot of talent in intelligence, and even under such circumstances, he can still obtain intelligence in Nanyang City.

Li Fei nodded. He remembered that Lu Jiong had been in Nanyang for a full year in history, and it has only been half a year now. It must be because he got a batch of food from somewhere later.

Adding icing on the cake is worse than giving charcoal in the snow. No matter when Lu Jiong got the batch of food, Nanyang City is now full of hungry people, and it has reached the most critical moment.

"The Khitan people and the Xi people are still helping Anlu Mountain to attack Nanyang City?" Li Fei asked again.

"Yes, my lord." A Niu replied.

"Hehe, Anlu Mountain is really insidious, I have already captured the Khitan and Xi clans, but Anlu Mountain has still blocked the news from the Khitan leader Mu Erhu and the Xi clan leader Ah Huiju. "Li Fei sneered,
At the beginning, Anlu Mountain sent Wu Lingxun to march south, mainly composed of three main forces, namely 4000 most primitive anti-army elites, and two grassland cavalry of about 4000 people from the Khitan and Xi tribes. Thirty-four thousand people.

But now the rebel army under Wu Lingxun has grown to more than 8 people. On the other hand, the cavalry of the Khitan and Xi tribes has dropped to about 3000, which is less than half of when they followed Anlu Mountain from Youzhou to the south.

I don't know what their expressions will be when the Khitan leader Mu Erhu and the Xi clan leader A Huiju learn that Li Fei has wiped out the grasslands of the two tribes and installed a new leader, and how much they will hate Anlu Mountain. After all, An Lushan had lied to them for nearly half a year.

"I give you a task to let Mu Erhu and Ah Huiju know about the new leaders of the Khitan Grassland and the Xi Clan Grassland." Li Fei could imagine that when Mu Erhu and Ah Huiju heard the news , the scene of the furious return to the Khitan grassland and the Xi tribe grassland regardless of everything.

"Yes, my lord." A Niu was very serious, he knew that this was the start of Jin Yiwei, the first thing the lord ordered him to do, and he had to do it no matter what.Then A Niu went back overnight to make arrangements.

Early the next morning, [-] Anton cavalry gathered and galloped towards Nanyang.

After marching for half a day, Li Fei brought [-] Anton cavalry to a small town about forty miles away from Nanyang to rest.

Because it is not far from Nanyang, when the rebels were short of food and supplies, they came here to loot, so the town's population has lost more than half, and now it looks very depressed.

"My lord, from here we can reach the city of Nanyang within an hour at most. Only after the Khitans and Xi people leave, we can surprise the rebels and break the siege of Nanyang." Lu Xin said.

"No, Nanyang City has been besieged for more than five months. It doesn't make any difference whether the siege is released sooner or later. On the contrary, the Khitan people and the Xi people followed Anlu Mountain all the way south, but they really robbed a lot of wealth. We can't let them just It was so easy to bring back to the grassland, so I plan to take it back from them!" Li Fei laughed.

Mu Erhu and A Huiju led Khitan and 500 cavalrymen of the Xi clan to follow Anlu Mountain to the south. Not only did they plunder a fortune in Hebei, but after crossing the Yellow River, they went to Bianzhou, Chenliu, and Luoyang, the eastern capital. The rich land was plundered again under the connivance of Anlu Mountain, and then marched south with Wu Lingxun to break through Yingchuan and other prefectures. Fei estimated that if all of them were added together, there would be at least [-] million worth of wealth. It would be better to let the Khitan and Xi people bring them back to the grasslands!

"Your Excellency is wise!" Hearing what Li Fei said, Wu Sheng, Lu Xin and others' eyes lit up, and they could also imagine how amazing wealth the Khitan and Xi people had plundered, all of which belonged to the Han people. Ah, why should the Khitan and Xi people bring it back to the grassland.

Soon, news came that Jin Yiwei had successfully passed the news to the two leaders, Mu Erhu and A Huiju.

Li Fei made a decisive decision and took [-] Anton iron cavalry to set up an ambush on the only way for the Khitan and Xi people to go north.

Under Nanyang City, the anti-army camp.

The first time they heard the news, Mu Erhu and Ah Huiju didn't believe it, because they felt that they were An Lushan's allies, and An Lushan shouldn't have kept things like this from them.

However, facts speak louder than words. Even if they don’t want to believe it, they will definitely find out by themselves. It is impossible for the mountain to shut everyone up.

"It turned out to be true, how could An Lushan treat our two clans like this!" Mu Erhu and Ah Huiju were extremely angry, and similarly, more panicked.

Now that the Khitan Grassland and the Xi Clan Grassland of the old nest have been captured by Li Fei, and new leaders have been replaced, so when they go back, what are they?Are there any clansmen who recognize their leadership?

No matter how angry Mu Erhu and A Huiju were, they would never dare to turn against An Lushan just like this, but it is still possible to go to Wu Lingxun to question them.

Facing the questioning, Wu Lingxun was a little embarrassed, knowing that the matter could not be concealed at last, he admitted it generously, and comforted Mu Erhu and A Huiju: "Li Fei, the Protectorate of Andong, has limited strength, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Even if he establishes a new Khitan, the leader of the Xi tribe, I believe that the Khitan people and the Xi tribe on the grassland will definitely be more willing to recognize you. When your majesty conquers the world, with a single order, hundreds of thousands of troops go north, who can snatch you? You are the leader, and even because of your meritorious service in helping His Majesty in the war, the Khitan and Xi people can restore their thrones, and you two are the Khitan King and Xi King, isn't it an honor?"

Wu Lingxun's statement like this is almost a lie to a child.

Even if Mu Erhu and Ah Huiju are willing to believe that Anlu Mountain will win the world in the end, who knows how long it will take, two or three years, maybe longer?Besides, An Lushan really made them too angry that An Lushan kept it from them and took advantage of them for so long.

Since they didn't dare to turn against An Lushan, they could only hold back their anger in their hearts. It was even more impossible for them to wait any longer and continue to be used by An Lushan. They couldn't wait to return to the grassland to regain the position of leader.

Mu Erhu and A Huiju held back their anger and bid farewell to Wu Lingxun, and left with the cavalry of the two tribes without waiting for Wu Lingxun's consent.
