Chapter 268: Order
Huang Jieshi nodded and said, "To be honest with you, General, Wangmo does have several items that were once used by the Shenwu clan. But this is not disrespectful to you or to Bicheng. You also know that Wangmo is obsessed with astronomy and geomancy. He found several items of the Shenwu clan just to get a glimpse of the secrets of the heavens. Unfortunately, he is still missing a few key items, so the effect is not obvious..."
He shook his head and continued, "But the horse head mask I gave you didn't belong to Shenwu, but to Chenghuang. Today I met the real owner, so I just returned it to him."
Bi Ye stopped talking.
The two men said goodbye to Mr. Huang, left the Fangcun room, walked down the same corridor, and were escorted to the shore by Du Lao. They then rode towards the big tent.
The wind was still blowing strongly and raindrops as big as beans were falling continuously. The two of them did not say a word along the way.
Chu Xiaomu knew that the general must be very worried now. He originally thought that facing the attack of the Claw Clan, a tribe of the Red Sand Country, Bicheng only needed to make a few arrangements to repel the invasion. Who knew that they would have to face the four major tribes of the Red Sand Country, the Eye, Tooth, Hoof, and Claw. Even if the Bicheng cavalry is brave and good at fighting, and the troops are strong, how can they stand up to the monster troops of the four major tribes of the Red Sand Country? No matter how high the general's martial arts is, he can't withstand the combined attack of the four spiritual kings of the other side, not to mention that behind them is one of the four gods, Red Sand, who has never shown his face...
What Bi Ye was thinking about at this time was that he had discovered the abnormal movement of spiritual energy during his patrols for several months, and he recalled the five major armies to the city to discuss matters, and arranged for each army to recruit more soldiers, prepare more military supplies, train soldiers diligently, build fortifications, etc. ... All these measures really worked. However, judging from the current situation, it is far from enough, far, far from enough... Cangmu Country is in danger! For now, the only way is to contact the other six major cities as soon as possible, and unite the forces of the six cities to have the strength to fight against Chisha Country. But how difficult this is...
Bi Ye led Chu Xiaomu back to the general's tent. Zhou Bo and Yang Luo were still waiting in the tent - they could not leave without the general's order.
Zhou Bo frowned with a stern face, while Yang Luo paced back and forth in the big tent, looking very anxious. When Bi Ye came in, he wanted to ask why he had been gone for so long, but when he saw the general's solemn expression, he swallowed the words that were on his lips.
Zhou Bo asked, "General, what is the reason why Huang Tianxiang wants to see you?"
Bi Ye sat down in the chair and roughly recounted the content of his conversation with Huang Jieshi. He was concise and explained the whole story in a few words. As for the fact that the black horse beside Chu Xiaomu was Cheng Huang, it was not important, so he did not mention it.
Zhou and Yang were dumbfounded. They thought that they were facing only several thousand Claw Clan assassins hiding in Huadu Hill, and the Bicheng Army could easily defeat them. However, they didn't expect that it was the legendary Chisha's army of the Eye, Tooth, Hoof and Claw tribes!
Zhou Bo was silent for a while, then he struggled to sit up and said loudly: "General, please give the order. I will not refuse even if I die!"
Yang Luo also saluted to Bi Ye and said loudly: "General, Yang Luo will be the vanguard and go to Humu Pass to stop the invading enemy!"
Chu Xiaomu had never thought that a small ancient tripod could affect the safety of the whole world. Not only was Bicheng in danger, Cangmu Country was in danger, and even his hometown, Baihua Island, was likely to be in danger. At this time, he could not help but say, "General, General Zhou, our horse herding team should stop herding horses, we must also kill the enemy!"
Bi Ye did not answer, but ordered the messenger to call over the deputy general of the Nanding Army, Xiao Zhenrong, the battalion officer An Wenyuan, Wang Gu, Quan Qingzhi and others, and then he remained silent. Zhou Bo, Yang Luo and Chu Xiaomu did not dare to speak again, and could only sit or stand in the general's tent and wait.
Bi Ye closed his eyes and listened to the whistling wind outside the tent, falling into deep thought, as if he was the only one in the tent. He was born more than 400 years ago, and this year he is 442 years old. If calculated by the age of mortals, he has already passed the age limit. However, he is a human spirit, raised by a mortal mother, and his temperament, moral cultivation, and moral knowledge all come from the mortals around him; because he has the power of immortality and is born with extremely powerful spiritual power, it can be said that he is a spirit. In his more than 400 years of life, he has seen too many people and too many things, including some very urgent and difficult to decide major issues, but it is actually rare to have such a big problem that makes him hesitate for a while. His character is resolute and steady, and he is not startled. No matter how great the danger is, he always looks confident and sure of victory. He never says anything negative in front of his subordinates, and never lets them see his helpless side. Therefore, in Bicheng, no matter how big the problem is, even the five major central armies Ding, Zhou, Li, Yang, and Huan, who are brave, daring, and highly capable, often say "At worst, we can ask the general to take action", because as long as he takes action, even the most complicated problem will be solved, and even the most powerful enemy will be defeated.
Bi Ye thought for a while, and the expression on his face gradually relaxed. He walked to the sword rack, took down the Dragon Spine Sword, and gently stroked the silver-white sword spine. His eyes became infinitely gentle and firm, and he murmured: "Dragon Spine, Dragon Spine, the evil spirits are rising again, let us create another peaceful world!"
As they were talking, Xiao Zhenrong and others had already entered the tent to pay their respects.
Bi Ye suddenly turned around and shouted, "Generals, listen to my orders!"
Zhou Bo, Yang Luo and others shouted in unison: "I am here!"
Bi Ye said, "Pass on my order. Order An Wenyuan of the Nanding Army to prepare 150 cavalrymen and go to Huaduqiu to lure the enemy, and set off immediately! Order Xiao Zhenrong, Wang Gu, and Quan Qingzhi of the Nanding Army to prepare 1,000 soldiers and 2,000 horses, and go to Huaduqiu to attack the camp with fire, and set off immediately! Order Yang Luo of the Beicheng Army to prepare 5,000 cavalrymen and set up the Xinghan formation 30 miles north of Huaduqiu at yin time tomorrow!" According to the regulations of the Bicheng Army, after the general has determined the main generals and the number of horses and soldiers of each unit, the main generals can draw soldiers from the various central armies as needed without elaborating in the general's order.
Several people shouted in unison: "Accept the order from the general!" Xiao Zhenrong and the others turned around and left after receiving the order. As the main general attacking the Huaduqiu Claw Clan's assassin camp, Yang Luo needed to prepare soldiers, food, fodder, and utensils, so he hastily said hello to Bi Ye and Zhou Bo and hurried out.
Bi Ye said to Chu Xiaomu again: "Horses are the most vulnerable on the battlefield. You have been herding horses for several months and brought back nearly 2,000 horses. It is indeed a great achievement. The Claw people are currently guarding Huadu Hill and may send advance troops to the east to Yutuo City at any time. I am afraid that other Chisha people have entered our Bicheng territory from Humu Pass. Your team is now standing in the tiger's mouth and is extremely dangerous. You must bring them back as soon as possible!"
