The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

After a night's rest, although everyone was not resurrected with full blood, their energy and spirit were improved.

After breakfast and packing, we naturally started marching at full speed again.

When there is a war ahead, no one dares to delay, and they must grit their teeth to keep up.

Liao Ji and other young masters looked at the thin skin and tender flesh, but they didn't say a word as they walked along.

The ability to endure hardship and stand hard work is pretty good.

This kind of core disciple is really different from the dude.

Fast forward nearly half a month, traveling day and night, Qingxia Pass is already in sight.

"Say the word, surrender now, don't kill anyone, but if you resist, when we break through Qingxia Pass, no one will be left behind, massacre the city in blood sacrifice!"

After such a long stalemate, the eldest prince's patience was exhausted. Counting the time, it was only a few days before Li Yi and the others arrived.

We must capture Qingxia Pass before that, and then we will be unblocked from all sides and fight back to Zijing City, which is just around the corner.

The only thing that needs to be worried about is the 700,000 troops that the Zheng family has at their disposal. However, Qiling and the territory cannot be defended by anyone. The Zheng family will just send people over, which will only be 200,000 to 300,000 at most.

The odds are stacked against him.

Here, the eldest prince is thinking like a monarch and his subjects, but the ambition of the Zheng family is not just to serve as ministers.

If the situation permits, they will abandon Qiling and the territory without hesitation, just like the eldest prince fighting from the border to Zijing City.

Sit on the dragon chair and do the rest slowly.

Including land occupied by enemy countries.

This is also what worries Li Yi the most. He is afraid that if they all mess up at the same time, something will happen to me, and everyone will die together.

We have just gone through a great internal struggle, and we have to expel foreign enemies. The end of the great war is basically not far away.

It's like unpacking fat meat and dropping it on the ground. If any dog ​​sees it, it won't fight for a bite.

Like the eldest prince, Li Yi also insisted on a quick victory.

As soon as the news of the massacre spread, people were suddenly panicked. They were already exhausted, and even if they tried hard, they wouldn't be able to hold on for a few more days.

After Qingxia Pass is Jinzhou. The eldest prince taking those places is like exploring grass in the plains. One city, tens of thousands of lives, this burden is too heavy.

Hearing another wave of attack horns, the defenders were struggling fiercely in their eyes.

"I'm afraid that this ball thing will arrive soon. Let's see what the eldest prince will do to massacre the city!"

The leader of the Youxiao Guard drew his blade with determination on his face. They had been ordered to Qingxia Pass by Li Yi as early as the day of the eldest prince's rebellion. They were not many in number, only fifty elite riders.

It was precisely because of their presence that Li Yi dared to stay in Zijing City for a day or two to arrange everything.

"Is it possible to determine the time? After all, the eldest prince has 200,000 elite soldiers. With the manpower absorbed, it may exceed 300,000.

If we hadn't taken advantage of the steepness of Qingxia Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we would have been massacred in an instant.

Even if we hold on tightly, we won't be able to last more than three days. "The guard couldn't hide his worried look.

"If you can't hold on for three days, that means you can still hold on. Since you can hold on, hold on until you can't hold on anymore. Du Gong never disappoints you!" After the leader of the Youxiao Guards finished speaking, he strode forward and ordered the defenders to: Prepare to meet the enemy.

Everyone was still worried. They were different from You Xiaowei. You Xiaowei had gotten along with Li Yi and knew his abilities, but these guards had only heard some rumors. How dare they trust the lives of tens of thousands of people.

For now, they should repel the attackers first and hold on for two more days. If Li Yi doesn't arrive, they will have no choice but to surrender.

"Master Du, we will be there in about half a day."

"March at full speed. When we reach Qingxia Pass, let's eat meat!" Li Yi looked far away and said loudly.

"Yes!"

It is useful to look at the plum blossoms to quench thirst. Like this moment, everyone is tired, raises his head with high spirits, and speeds up the pace.

At this moment, a surge of morale formed, making Liao Ji slightly raise his eyebrows. This alone had an motivating effect, not because of these people's obsession with meat, but because of their belief in Li Yi.

So much so that with just one sentence from him, everyone immediately became enthusiastic.

After days of marching, Liao Ji saw signs of exhaustion on these people's faces, but there was no trace of resentment or dejection.

Fighting with 40,000 people against 200,000, or even more, just thinking about it, everyone knows how difficult it is, but these people don't seem to have this awareness, and they just follow Li Yi.

They hit wherever they pointed, even if there was a pit ahead, they would jump with their eyes open.

How could Li Yi, a young eunuch in a deep palace, have such charm? He was simply a born general.

When he put down the rebellion in Min County and other places, he was lucky, and he probably didn't even get 1% of it.

It has become a climate, it is extremely difficult to deal with, and it must be killed with one blow.

Once he is given a chance to breathe, no matter how great the advantage is, he may not be able to control him.

Liao Ji looked at Qingxia Pass in the distance, his eyes gloomy, and he didn't know what the outcome of this battle would be.

This will affect his future direction.

After struggling to survive a wave of offensives, the defenders stood at the top of the city, all silent.

At this time, a right Xiaowei ran over with a happy face and shouted: "The scout has sent you a letter. In half an hour, Du Gong will be here!"

As he finished speaking, excitement appeared on everyone's faces, but here it comes!

"Quick, prepare meat to welcome us!" the team leader laughed and shouted.

Fortunately, he was someone who had been under Li Yi and knew his temperament.

Once you accomplish a certain goal, you must reward everyone.

It was said that it took half an hour, but Li Yi led the people there before that. The 40,000 soldiers were all tired of life. Even Tang Zhenghao and others had messy hair and no longer looked like noble gentlemen.

It shows the urgency and hardship of their journey.

The team leader and other right Xiaowei went to greet Li Yi, "Master Du, the food has been prepared. Brothers have worked hard all the way."

Li Yi patted them on the shoulders, "In terms of hard work, it's still you. Qingxia Pass has persisted until now. You have done a good job. I will give you a big credit."

The team leader's eyes were filled with tears. Soldiers like them were not afraid of death in battle, but were afraid that the people following them would not be worthy of their lives.

"Let the guard of Qingxia Pass come over. You can lead the brothers to have a meal first. Later, we will see how to arrange it." Li Yi said.

"Du Gong..."

"I'm not in a hurry, just leave a portion for me. Go ahead. They are all hungry, just to have a full meal."

Li Yi chuckled and looked at the group of people coming over. The middle-aged man at the head should be the guard of Qingxia Pass.

"Dr. Zhongling."

The guard greeted Li Yi with a salute. Except for himself, everyone else called Li Yi according to the order of the doctor.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Li Yi clasped his fists, there were only 8,000 soldiers guarding Qingxia Pass. In Daqian, the more diligent and hard-working he is, well, he will basically never move in this life.

Looking at the green shadows under their eyes, it can be seen that they have not had a good sleep for many days.

Facing an army of 200,000 people, this kind of pressure is not something that can be taken lightly, and those with a weak heart cannot withstand it.

I knew Li Yi was young, but when I saw him, the defenders all looked at each other. Age doesn't mean everything, but being young is not easy to convince others.
