Yelü Chu had just left.
Murong Chui then walked over.
"Yan Yan, there's something I need to discuss with you." Murong Chui was a seasoned player in the game of love.
Although both of them knew it was just an act.
However, Murong Chui's actions and voice were able to please Empress Dowager Xiao.
"Is there anything you wish to discuss with me?"
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and many cattle and sheep in our two countries have frozen to death. We've already had a snowfall."
Xiao Yanyan listened carefully, but didn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, if we do not launch an attack today, we will have to wait until tomorrow."
"Who says I won't launch an attack? The day we kill Jiang Tian will be the day our two countries send troops."
Murong Chui: "The alliance between the two countries has both advantages and disadvantages."
"The allied forces of the two countries must have a strong leader; otherwise, they will be a disorganized mess, and the battlefield will be ever-changing."
"Without a unified command, everyone will just fight their own way."
This is quite disadvantageous in combat.
What do you mean?
"Your Majesty, I want command."
The Empress Dowager suffered heavy losses, and I'm not boasting, but looking across the entire Liao Kingdom, there are almost no commanders whose ability to command troops is stronger than mine.
Xiao Yanyan fell silent after hearing this.
Xiao Yanyan had never led troops into battle, but she knew that on the battlefield, only orders that were issued with absolute authority could be effective.
"Murong Chui." Empress Xiao glanced at Murong Chui. "Jiang Tian's appearance in our Liao Kingdom, does that mean that your 250,000 troops on the island of Dongying have been completely wiped out?"
"From this perspective, your Xianbei fighting strength is not much stronger than ours."
I am not at ease entrusting hundreds of thousands of Liao cavalry to you.”
Upon hearing this, Murong Chui quickly said, "Jiang Tian came to Liao Kingdom alone. Why didn't he bring an army? It's obvious that his troops were wiped out by us."
Empress Dowager Xiao laughed upon hearing this: "You might fool a three-year-old with your words, but you think you can fool me?"
"Your Majesty, forgive my bluntness, but I received a message from the Flying Eagle yesterday. Our main force is advancing rapidly on the island of Japan, and Jiang Tian's troops have been almost completely wiped out by the combined efforts of me and the Emperor of Japan."
"So, according to you, Jiang Tian escaped back in a sorry state?"
"Then why didn't he secretly return to the Great Xia Dynasty? Instead, he dared to come straight to us with just a few people."
Empress Xiao's words left the other party speechless.
"The fighting strength of your Xianbei cavalry remains to be tested, and we cannot simply hand over the little bit of resources we have discussed to you."
Murong Chui spread his hands: "Empress Dowager, then we must have a unified Grand Marshal."
"It's simple, whoever kills Jiang Tian will become the Grand Marshal."
“This… is acceptable…” Murong Chui nodded.
He had great confidence in the Xianbei wolf guards he had sent out.
…………
Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu raced forward at breakneck speed.
"Xiang Yu, you need to open your eyes wider. Our lord has received a secret report from the Embroidered Uniform Guard that 20,000 cavalry are heading towards us."
"Don't worry, we'll be able to see them as long as they pass by." Xiang Yu slowed down his Cloud-Treading Black Chaser horse considerably as he looked around with his binoculars.
This monocular telescope can observe objects at distances of up to several kilometers.
The sky was high and the clouds were low all around, with withered yellow grass and vast expanses of white snow everywhere.
With no mountains or forests to obstruct their view, they could see clearly from dozens of miles away.
Li Yuanba also slowed down, and this guy was looking around with binoculars.
An hour later, they saw countless tiny black dots suddenly appear on the distant hillside.
"It must be this group of beasts," Xiang Yu thought, and quickly spurred his horse forward, heading straight for them, the distance between them growing ever closer.
Xiang Yu could already see the attire of these Khitan cavalrymen.
Two hairy things, resembling dog tails, hung down from the sides of their helmets.
"It's these bastards. Both the direction and the number match up." Xiang Yu quickly put away his monocular telescope and swung his Breaking Formation Overlord Spear.
With a buzzing sound.
The Overlord Spear that broke through the formation emitted a dragon's roar.
Li Yuanba also stuffed the monocular telescope into his clothes, and with two drum-shaped hammers in hand, he ran towards the other side.
Yelü Jianfeng personally led the team.
"Warriors, our Northern Court King has said that there is a reward of 50,000 gold coins for capturing Jiang Tian."
"If you kill Jiang Tian, you will be rewarded with 30,000 gold coins."
“We’ve captured quite a few more women recently. The King said that whether you kill Jiang Tian or capture him, you can choose any of the women.”
These Khitan cavalrymen whistled as they galloped forward.
"Capture Jiang Tian and receive a reward of 50,000 jin."
"Kill Jiang Tian to avenge our fallen Khitan brothers."
Some of the men led by Yelü Jianfeng died in Jiang Tian's two attacks.
Everyone hated Jiang Tian to the core.
They wished they could arrest Jiang Tian right now, present him to the Empress Dowager, and then personally chop him up.
More than 20,000 people rushed eastward, and the ground shook.
They ran for more than an hour before spotting Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba.
Yelü Jianfeng paid no attention to Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba.
In their eyes, Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba were just two insignificant passersby.
Li Yuanba watched as the enemy charged towards them: "Xiang Yu, we can't let them get away this time."
"I'll rush over there and teach them a lesson."
Li Yuanba spurred his horse and charged straight at the enemy.
Xiang Yu stood with his spear held high on his horse.
He quickly drew his Overlord Bow and Arrow, nocked the arrow, and shot it at the enemy with a whoosh.
The arrow cut through the air with a sonic boom.
With a soft "poof".
The arrow pierced the chest of the Khitan cavalryman charging at the forefront.
However, the arrow's speed did not decrease much.
The arrow continued flying forward.
He shot through two Khitans in succession and strung their bodies together like a candied hawthorn.
The immense force sent the two other men flying seven or eight meters off their horses before they crashed heavily into the ground.
The Khitan cavalry, who were charging forward at breakneck speed, never expected that these two seemingly insignificant individuals would launch a preemptive attack on them, and that their arrows would travel such a great distance.
"Where did this bastard come from? How dare he ambush us!" Yelü Jianfeng roared.
"Your grandpa Li Yuanba is here! Not one of you should run away!" Li Yuanba's voice was like a thunderbolt, making our eardrums ache.
Even though it was beyond their willpower, everyone could hear it clearly.
As soon as everyone heard Li Yuanba's voice, they knew that this guy was a ruthless character.
"Kill these two first. It seems Xiao Potian was right. Although Jiang Tian only has four or five people around him, each of them is exceptionally capable."
"The warriors will kill them first, then destroy Jiang Tian."
