Daqin: Summon Jinyiwei at the beginning

Chapter 118

The road under the Lushan Mountains was covered with dust and smoke, like a yellow dragon soaring into the sky.

Ying Mo led the Huo family army and rushed past at lightning speed, raising gusts of sand and dust, like a storm hitting the shore.

Such a huge movement scared the birds and animals on the roadside to flee everywhere.

Suddenly,

Ying Mo waved his arm, and the Huo family army immediately stopped like a sculpture.

"My lord, what did you find?"

Huo Qubing frowned.

Ying Mo's sinister eyes were like those of a hawk, staring at the mountains not far away, and said: "Qubing, don't you think this is strange? With such a big commotion, the mountains are so quiet that not a single bird is startled."

Huo Qubing suddenly realized after hearing this: "My lord, you mean that Liu Ji and his men are hiding there?"

Ying Mo sneered: "That's right. Liu Ji is ruthless, treacherous, shameless, and cold-blooded, and decisive in killing."

"He probably knows that I am still leading the army to pursue them. If it were an ordinary person, he would naturally run away, but Liu Ji would not."

"If he knew he couldn't run away, he would most likely wait there and kill us by surprise."

As soon as the voice fell,

Huo Qubing snorted: "My lord, since Liu Ji is so difficult to deal with, this time, Qubing will definitely kill him for you."

Ying Mo smiled but said nothing.

At this moment,

With a swish,

a figure flashed out from the mountains.

Instantly,

with a few swishes, three soldiers rushed forward like lightning, and their weapons were instantly placed on his neck.

"Who are you?"

"I am a scout sent by the lord to get information. I have urgent information. Take me to see the lord."

Who else could this person be if not Liu Jiyuan, the centurion of the Jinyiwei?

The soldiers of the Huo family army looked at Liu Jiyuan and ordered, "Follow us!"

Then, they carried Liu Jiyuan to Ying Mo.

At this time,

Ying Mo and Huo Qubing were preparing to send scouts into the mountains to inquire.

Seeing two soldiers escorting a person, Huo Qubing was slightly startled.

However,

Ying Mo spoke first: "Are Liu Jiyuan, Liu Ji and others in the mountains?"

"Yes, lord!"

Liu Jiyuan's answer was crisp and clear.

Seeing that this person was indeed Ying Mo's subordinate, the two soldiers of the Huo family army bowed and apologized: "Sorry!"

"No problem!"

Ying Mo waved his hand.

Then,

Liu Jiyuan quickly came to Ying Mo and said: "My lord, Liu Ji and his 20,000 soldiers are hiding in the most dangerous place in the mountains. They have made all preparations. As long as the lord orders an attack, they will fight to the death."

As soon as the words fell, Huo Qubing looked at him with contempt and said disdainfully: "Fight to the death? Are they worthy?"

At this time, Ying Mo looked solemn and looked up at Mount Lu.

"Qubing, if Liu Ji sets the entire mountain on fire when we attack, what will be the consequences?"

Before the words fell, Huo Qubing was stunned, and his face was full of fear.

"My lord, he is not so vicious, is he?"

"If the mountains are set on fire, our army will suffer heavy casualties, but Liu Ji and his army will not be spared."

After hearing this, Ying Mo chuckled: "What's that?"

"This man can even abandon his brotherhood and his first wife. Do you think he can do such a thing?"

After that!

Huo Qubing was shocked.

"This man is so vicious? Isn't he the same as the Huns?"

Ying Mo shook his head: "Huns?"

"The Huns are cruel at best, and they are only cruel to outsiders in their eyes. The Huns are still very loyal to those they think are their own people. But Liu Ji is extremely cruel to everyone."

Huo Qubing cursed: "Is this man a beast!"

Ying Mo sighed: "Although this man is not a beast, he is worse than a beast."

"My lord, what are you going to do?"

Huo Qubing's eyes were filled with murderous intent!

He really couldn't imagine that there was such a person in the world, and he really deserved to be killed.

Ying Mo blinked and said softly: "Qubing, let's pretend to rest here and then leave quickly."

"According to my inference, Liu Ji's destination is Baiyue."

"As long as we find an open area ahead to set up an ambush, we will definitely be able to wipe out Liu Ji and his 20,000 troops."

Huo Qubing heard this and asked in confusion: "My lord, why are you so sure that Liu Ji must be going to Baiyue? If he is not going to Baiyue, wouldn't he slip away from under our noses?"

Ying Mo's mouth corners slightly raised, smiling

He said, "The world is so big, except for the Baiyue, there is no place for him to live."

Huo Qubing saw Ying Mo was so confident, so he stopped talking.

At this time, Liu Ji was standing on a high ground on Mount Lu, overlooking the Huo family army.

Seeing that the Huo family army was stagnant, Liu Ji's heart was in his throat, and his eyes flashed with a sinister and cunning light.

"Xiahou Ying!" Hearing Liu Ji's call, Xiahou Ying came quickly.

"General."

"If the Qin army attacks the mountains, you lead three hundred brothers to go around from a distance and set the mountains on fire at the foot of the mountain."

After Liu Ji finished speaking, Xiahou Ying's face changed suddenly.

"General, in this case, you and the soldiers will..."

Liu Ji narrowed his eyes gloomily and said, "In this situation, only by burning our boats and crossing our river can we have a glimmer of hope. Do you understand?" Xiahou Ying nodded solemnly, "Yes!"

Soon,

Xiahou Ying selected three hundred confidants, each holding a fire starter.

It was September, and the weather was clear and crisp. The mountains were full of dead branches and leaves, and it was easy to set fire.

Suddenly!

Liu Ji's eyes widened, and he saw the Huo family army at the foot of the mountain quickly evacuated.

"Huh!"

Liu Ji was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to confront the Huo family army head-on, and he knew that the chances of winning were slim.

Even if he had boosted morale! But war can never be won by courage alone.

"General, the Qin army has already evacuated, what should we do next?"

Zhou Bo asked.

Liu Ji blinked and said, "We will split into two groups. You will lead 3,000 soldiers to Baiyue."

Hearing this,

Zhou Bo was shocked and asked, "General, what about you?"

Liu Ji's eyes flashed with a cold light, staring at Zhou Bo like a sharp blade, and said sternly, "Follow the military order, no need to ask any more questions."

Zhou Bo felt creepy, as if he was in an ice cave.

"Yes!"

Zhou Bo did not dare to ask any more questions.

The golden autumn in September is unbearably hot!

This shows how ruthless Liu Ji was.

......

Ying Mo led his army to gallop all the way. Half an hour later, a vast open land appeared in front of them. It was vast and flat for dozens of miles.

A smile appeared on Ying Mo's face, and he waved his hand.

Huo Qubing galloped forward and rode side by side with him.

"My lord, what instructions do you have?"

Huo Qubing asked.

"Qubing, what do you think of setting up an ambush here?"
