"Among them, the Tuoba tribe is the strongest, with more than ten thousand cavalry. According to the intelligence, the Tuoba tribe and the Taining tribe had a conflict last winter, and both sides suffered losses.”
As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, Meng Jiao rushed to say,"Lord, leave the Tuoba tribe to me.”
"Why?"
Tian Hu was not convinced." Last time, you were the commander when we destroyed the He Lan tribe. This time, it's my turn."”
"Stop arguing."
"I think the Tuoba tribe should be handed over to me."”
Xue Dhuta and Jia Xiong did not fight. The two of them had joined later. Although they were valued by Lin Xuan, they had followed him for too short a time.
Moreover, the two of them were infantry commandants.
For such a long distance battle, cavalry was still needed.
Jia Xiong stared at the map. A moment later, he discovered something strange.
The few tribes that Lin Xuan mentioned were all located between Yan County and the Mi Sang River.
If they could successfully exterminate these tribes, the territory of the County of Yan would extend eastward for at least 500 miles.
Thinking of this possibility, Jia Xiong could not help but look at Lin Xuan with a burning gaze,"Sir, this humble servant requests to fight."
"Old Jia, you're just an infantry commandant.”
Tian Hu's eyes widened.”
The few of them had a good relationship and could make such jokes. Jia Xiong was not angry and smiled,"It's not impossible."
It wasn't that the infantry of the County of Yan couldn't ride horses and shoot arrows, but compared to the cavalry, they had less training.
Usually, he would spend most of his time training his sword, spear, and shield formations.
"Jia Xiong, did you see anything?”
Lin Xuan smiled.
"Yes."
Jia Xiong nodded." If I'm not wrong, Your Excellency wants to take down the territory between Chang River and Mi Sang River."
At that time, they would use the Mi Sang River as a barrier to resist Duoyan's three tribes to the north.”
"That's right."
Lin Xuan nodded." The Mi Sang River flows rapidly and is more than 1,000 feet wide. There is only a pile of rocks. The terrain is wide and can allow warhorses to cross the river.
If they built a city in the rubble and stationed thousands of soldiers, they could stop the three tribes.
At that time, the fertile land of thousands of miles of grassland will be in my hands. I can attack and defend.”
"The Tuoba tribe relied on the natural barrier of the Mi Sang River to be able to retreat safely from the hands of the Tai Ning tribe.”
Hearing this, all the generals 'breathing quickened. Whoever could snatch the position of commander this time would be the first to succeed.
Lin Xuan's gaze swept across the few of them and knew their thoughts clearly. He said leisurely,"This is this year's combat deployment, there's no hurry.
The Tuoba tribe was the strongest, so they would be the last to attack. They would first attack the three medium-sized tribes, A Man, Tie Xun 'er, and Mu Zhuan.”
He paused for a moment before continuing," We'll also wipe out the other small tribes west of the Mi Sang River.”
"Milord, when do we start?"
Meng Jiao asked.
"Before the snow melts."
"The Prairie people must have guessed that we are going to use troops against them this year, but they must think that I will wait until the snow melts before attacking.
But I won't. I want to catch them off guard before the snow melts.”
"We won't use the prefecture soldiers in this battle.”
He said firmly.
"Milord, count them."
Meng Jiao rubbed his fists and hands.
"Alright."
"Zhang Wei." Lin Xuan nodded slightly.
"Your humble servant is here."
Zhang Wei stood up with an ecstatic expression. He winked at everyone, but in the next moment, he could not be happy.
"Guard Broken Dragon Pass."
"Ah!"
Zhang Wei's face immediately fell.
"Haha."
Meng Jiao, Xue Dhuta, and the others burst into laughter.
"It's hard to guarantee that the Northern Python won't take the opportunity to go south this time. The Broken Dragon Pass that you're guarding is the most important.”
Lin Xuan comforted him patiently.
Only then did Zhang Wei feel a little better, but he was still unhappy and extremely depressed.
"Zhang Long, Huyan Lie, Jia Xiong, and Xue Toutuo, the four of you will be in charge of this war. I won't ask who you will fight first and how you will fight.”
He sat down, picked up the teacup, and moistened his throat before continuing,"There are only 10,000 soldiers in the Black Armored Army. I'll give them all to you.”
"No problem."
The four people who were called were overjoyed.
"Me, there's still me."
"Sir, what am I doing?" Meng Jiao hurriedly asked.”
"You stay in Wuzhen and command 7,000 prefecture soldiers.”
Meng Jiao also wanted to cry but had no tears. He shrank into a corner and looked at Zhang Wei, staring at each other.
"The rest is up to you. If anyone makes a mistake, the military law will be merciless.”
With that, he left the room slowly with his hands behind his back.
Lin Xuan was not afraid of them making a mistake. Putting aside Jia Xiong and Xue Dhuta, any one of them could take charge.
When he was in the Northern Liang, commanding an army was as easy as drinking cold water. It was not a problem for him to deal with a few grassland tribes.
When they arrived at the underground prison at the bottom of the lake, the Northern Python expert that Big Plate and Yin Ri had captured was locked inside.
"My lord."
The guards of the dungeon were all old soldiers from Northern Liang, the elites of the elites.
The dungeon was extremely wide. The walls were made of molten iron and bluestone, making them indestructible. Each cell was locked up with a Northern Python expert.
There were men and women, heroes of the righteous path, and old evil devils of the fiend sects.
"Let me go."
"Who are you?"
"Why did you capture me?"
Some people were wailing, some were silent, and some were furious. Unfortunately, they were shackled and their internal strength was sealed. Even their ribs were penetrated by the steel chains, and the other end of the chains was embedded in the iron wall.
No matter how strong he was, he couldn't break free.
These people were not unfamiliar with Lin Xuan. Every time he came, someone would be taken away, and some people could return to the prison alive.
Some people would become corpses and be dragged out of the dungeon.
No one knew this man's name, nor did they know where they were.
However, they knew that this man was a demon. Even if he returned to the prison alive, he would be severely injured.
"Master, what do you want to practice today?"
Big Plate walked out from the depths of the dungeon. Her pretty face was charming, and her waist was swaying. She was holding a blood-stained whip in her hand.
Her beautiful eyes were full of charm. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the Northern Python experts in the dungeon, she was no different from a demon.
It was this woman who had captured them.
"It's bigger again."
Lin Xuan pinched it and said coquettishly,"I can't do it now. This servant hasn't finished my work yet. At night, this servant will definitely serve master well.”
"Let's practice our saber skills."
"A few days ago, that loose devil who was known as the one who broke the river with a single blade was too weak.”
"Hehe, I'll pick a stronger one for Master today.”
Big Plate licked his lips and swept his gaze across the surrounding cells. Those Northern Python experts were frightened.
"Let's go with her."
The white jade finger pointed at a white-haired old man.
"Master, this person's nickname is Deer Staff Blade. He's good at using a staff blade and is ranked in the top twenty of the Northern Python Devil Dao.”
"Ahem."
The iron door opened, and the old man stood up shakily. His eyes were white, and he let out a strange laugh.
A pair of dead fish eyes stared fixedly at Lin Xuan.
The two soldiers unshackled him and took him to the depths of the dungeon, where there was a training platform.
