On the 19th, the snow stopped, but the sun still couldn't be seen.
In the backyard of Xiping Mansion, Lin Muyu accompanied Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, Chu Yao, and Feng Jixing to eat Linghuo's big pot rice, a bowl of vegetable soup, and two meat patties, and the meat patties were only broken.
The minced meat, mixed with vegetable leaves, tastes strange indescribably, but it's good enough to satisfy your hunger when you're short of food.
After eating the last bite of the meat pie, Lin Muyu looked at the sky outside and said, "It's been seven or eight days.
Why hasn't Ding Xi come back?
He couldn't be detained.
Even if he is detained, Situ Sen can kill him."
Report the siege."
Feng Jixing said: "Who knows?"
At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside, and Wei Chou said excitedly: "General Ding Xi is back."
"Please come in."
"yes" In the front hall, Ding Xi came with his helmet in his arms, covered in dust, with a smile on his face.
"See Your Highness, see Lin Shuai."
He knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"Get back on your feet, General Ding Xi."
Qin Yin said with a smile.
"It seems that Ding Shuai has completed his mission," Lin Muyu said with an insightful smile.
"My subordinates have fulfilled their mission.
The pirates from the Southern Islands have agreed to send troops, but they have a condition."
"Oh, what's the condition?"
Ding Xi hesitated for a few seconds and said: "They will attack in ten days to attack the seaport of Lieshan Province, but they will not attack Qianshan City.
Instead, they will give this famous city to them after we capture Qianshan City, and We have to hand over one hundred thousand kilograms of gold to them one after another, otherwise this transaction will not proceed. " "It's really greedy," Feng Jixing said.
"That's right, pirates are inherently greedy."
Ding Xi said with a bright-eyed smile: "And if I'm not wrong, once these pirates get Qianshan City, they will rob them, steal money and women, and return with the money and women.
On the sea, continue to live like an emperor on the islands.
The purpose of wanting Qianshan City is not to occupy it, but to covet the treasures accumulated in Qianshan City for thousands of years. " "Thieves are thieves."
Feng Jixing smiled and said, "Ayu, do you want to agree to their conditions?"
"Promise, why not agree, as long as they agree to attack from the west coast, at least they can contain part of Long Xi's troops."
"What about Qianshan City?
Do you want to give it to them?"
"Give it, you must give it, the Qin Empire will keep its word."
Lin Muyu's eyes were filled with teasing.
Tang Xiaoxi smiled and said: "Mumu, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?"
"I'm not selling medicine, it's just that these pirates want it, so let's satisfy them.
It's a deal anyway."
Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Ding Shuai, how many people and ships do they have in total?"
Ding Xi pondered and said: "As far as I know, the pirate groups in the archipelago have more than 3,000 ships in total, and the total number of people is more than 100,000.
They have been making a living by harassing the coastal villages of the Blackstone Empire and the Tianji Empire.
In recent years, they have often harassed our country’s two major provinces, Lingkong and Lingdong.
These people are like cancer in the Tianji Continent and Broken Cauldron Realm.”
Lin Muyu gently rubbed the hilt of the Xuanyuan Sword at her waist with her left hand, and was silent.
"Mumu, what are you thinking about?"
Tang Xiaoxi asked.
Feng Jixing smiled lightly and said, "He has already made murderous intentions."
"oh" "Every time Ayu rubs the hilt of the sword, it means he has to make a decision that ordinary people dare not make, right?"

Feng Jixing asked with a smile.
Lin Muyu was a bit dumbfounded: "Brother Feng, you are really observant.
You are right.
I want to take the opportunity to destroy this group of pirates.
There is no kindness and righteousness at all with these scum.
We pretended to agree to their conditions and let them enter Qianshan City.
Then ambush two teams The elite soldiers cut off their retreat, blocked the group of pirates in Qianshan City and destroyed them.
Those who were willing to surrender were put into prisoner-of-war camps, and those who were unwilling to surrender were killed on the spot.
Anyway, sooner or later, the mountains and provinces will be our territory, so treat it as ours.
Kill these pirates in advance for the common people.”
"I agree, you can achieve multiple things with one stone."
Qianfeng nodded.
Qin Yinli smiled slightly: "I agree too."
"Then it's decided."
Lin Muyu thought for a while and said: "Keep the original plan unchanged.
Around the time of the attack on Lieshan Province, the pirates will also launch an attack on the seaport.
They will attack the west and north together.
Looking back, See how you can resist this dragon seal."
"Um" Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the New Year has arrived.
On January 2, it snowed heavily.
Within half a month, Sikong Yao issued the summoning order of Tianji Sect, and thousands of people had already gathered in Xiping City.
The summoning order of Baize mercenaries had also been sent out long ago, and there was an endless stream of Baize mercenaries from all directions.
They gathered together, and with the strong appeal of Sikong Yao and Liu Buyi, they were able to recall nearly 100,000 people within half a month.
This also meant that Lin Muyu had as many as 250,000 troops at his disposal this time.
In the early morning, the war drums sounded, and an army of 250,000 troops set off from Xiping City in an endless stream and headed for the Lieshan Province.
Lin Muyu personally named the generals accompanying him to the battle, Qianfeng, Wei Qiu, Xu Jiantao, Qin Yong, Qin Yan, Sikong Yao and Liu Buyi were among them, while Feng Jixing, Xiang Yu, and Chen Xiaoli stayed to guard Xiping City.
Feng Jixing is one of the few talented people in the world, and it is reassuring to have him guarding Xiping City.
Fortunately, the snow has stopped for nearly half a month, and the snow on the ground has already melted.
It is not that difficult to transport magic crystal cannons and other baggage, and Sikong Yao and Liu Buyi had already built a solid official structure when they were in Xiping City.
Tao, it is not difficult to travel to the mountainous provinces along the way.
Three days later, the army arrived at Beiguan, Lieshan Province.
Tired from the march, Lin Muyu ordered the three armies to camp ten miles outside the pass and begin the attack at dawn the next day.
At dusk, the flame of the oil lamp continued to sway under the cold wind, and outside the tent there was a whining north wind.
The weather was so cold that everyone shivered from the cold.
A huge map was spread on the big table in the commander's tent.
On the map, Beiguan was marked red.
Wei Qiu held his sword hilt in his hand and said: "Beiguan is the only place to go from Xishan Province to Lieshan Province.
It is also one of the important military towns.
The pass is very strong, with a height of twenty meters.
It is said that Longxi sent General Liu Liang to guard it.
In Beiguan, under his command There are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and just two hundred miles south of Beiguan is Qianshan City.
The cavalry can be reinforced in half a day.
Once we start to attack Beiguan, it means that the battle with Longxi's army will officially begin. ” "Will Long Xi send the main force to Beiguan?"
Lin Muyu asked.
Wei Qiu smiled: "Originally it was very possible, but now it is impossible.

Since this morning, hundreds of thousands of pirates from the archipelago have begun to attack the seaports of Lishan Province.
Long Xi has too much time to take care of himself, so how can he possibly send the main force to the north?
Come on."
"I don't think so."
Lin Muyu said lightly: "Don't you smell anything?"
"Smell" Wei Qiu and Xu Jiantao were both shocked.
Qianfeng smiled: "I have the same premonition as the marshal, something will definitely happen tonight."
"Could they attack the camp?"
Wei Qiu was shocked.
Lin Muyu nodded: "Yes, it was quiet in Beiguan after we arrived.
We couldn't even see a sentry rider.
This can only mean that they knew that we would come and were well prepared.
If I were the other party The garrison will also take advantage of the great opportunity tonight when our army is tired from the long journey to attack the camp. " "However, Beiguan's military strength is only a mere 100,000."
"He who is good at using weapons must be good at using surprise."
Lin Muyu frowned and said: "Never mind, order the three armies to be on guard.
Wei Qiu, you lead the 20,000 Gentian Battalion cavalry to ambush in the jungle on the right side of the camp.
Situ Sen, you order the artillery battalion to prepare all the magic crystal cannons and aim at the big camp."
The front of the camp is preparing for bombing.
Qianfeng sends orders to the Armored Demon camp.
Once the enemy attacks, the Armored Demon will act as the first line of defense."
"yes" Everyone clasped their fists together and then took Lin Muyu's command arrow.
After a while, Lin Muyu raised his head and glanced at Ding Xi, and said: "The military report brought back by our dragon knights, it seems that the pirates didn't make much movement, it was very quiet."
"Marshal, please rest assured, there will definitely be some movement."
"Shuai Ding, are you sure these pirates won't be incited to rebel?
After all, they only care about money."
"No."
Ding Xi smiled faintly: "My subordinates have already signed the covenant paper.
No matter what price anyone offers, our army is willing to pay three times."
"Will they believe you?"
"Yes.
When my subordinates told them that they were willing to pay three times the price, they looked very distressed, as if they were selling their wives." "" Lin Muyu grinned and was speechless.
At the same time, at the western port of Qianshan City, a Black Rock Legion cavalry regiment arrived at the port, while a dense sea of pirate warships floated on the ocean.
Zhou Ziyang, dressed in scribe's attire, entered the meeting hall in the harbor, and the other party was a group of pirates with mustaches, each of them looked fierce.
If it weren't for a group of Black Rock Legion generals behind Zhou Ziyang, he would have been completely defeated in terms of momentum. .
"That's it."
Zhou Ziyang pushed the document forward and said: "As long as your alliance is willing to flank the Qin army from the sea, I am willing to offer 50,000 top-notch beauties, plus 300,000 catties of gold and a million pieces of cloud brocade."
"Master Military Advisor is so generous and sincere.
We can't help it if we don't cooperate."
The pirate leader squinted his eyes, put the document signed Zhou Ziyang into his arms, and said: "Commander, just go back and resume your life.
We will meet tomorrow morning."
Land on the shore and cover up the Qin army from the side."
"No, tomorrow morning will be too late.
I want you to kill them overnight."
"ah" "Why, can't you?"
"Okay, okay, why not?"

The pirate leader smiled slightly: "Then it's a deal."
"good"
Zhou Ziyang left the meeting hall and immediately said to the generals on both sides: "Release Yu Shu and tell Master Long Xi that the plan has been completed.
Launch an attack immediately and use the entire force to hit the Qin army.
This is our only chance."
Opportunity, otherwise, we will definitely not be able to match the Qin army’s elite in a protracted battle.
We must fight fast and slow down, killing Lin Muyu by surprise.”
"Yes, military advisor" Zhou Ziyang looked at the snow curtain outside with cold eyes, tightened the ties of his cloak, turned on his horse and said: "Let's go, rush to the Beiguan battlefield overnight, there should be fighting there by now
