Chapter 350 My Jin Kingdom is willing to lend a helping hand to the Second Prince!
Two days later, Qin Siyao left Yanmen Pass. Although she was extremely reluctant to leave, she had not obtained the Qin king's permission to come out this time. If she did not return, the Qin king would probably be furious.
Moreover, Qin Siyao felt that it was indeed inappropriate for a woman like herself to stay in the military camp.
So after careful consideration, Qin Siyao had no choice but to obediently follow Peanut.
After Qin Siyao left, the Northern Wilderness army was getting closer and closer to its departure date.
Both personnel rest and food supplies have been prepared.
Moreover, the Northern Wilderness Army also absorbed a large number of surrendered soldiers.
These surrendered soldiers were dispersed and assigned to various units.
The reason for scattering them was that as long as the army did not collapse, these surrendered soldiers would follow Qin's veteran generals and elite troops to fight the enemy.
But if they get together, things might change, and these people might develop other intentions.
Eight days later, the Northern Wilderness army marched over Tongguan Pass.
In Xiao Shi's view, the only general Qin really needed to be wary of was Xiahou Nan.
But at this time, Xiahou Nan was probably still making his way to the capital of Wei.
Therefore, the generals of Yuetong Pass were no match for the Northern Wilderness Army, not to mention that the Northern Wilderness Army was not only well-fed and rested, but also in high spirits after conquering the southern border.
The general who leaped over Tongguan also knew his own limitations.
When the Northern Wilderness army invaded, he simply closed the city and refused to come out, holding the city firmly.
Unfortunately, in less than half a month, Yuetong Pass was breached by the Northern Wilderness Army.
After the fall of Tongguan Pass, Wei Kingdom was completely exposed to the Northern Wilderness Army.
According to the original plan, Xiao Shi divided the Northern Wilderness army into five parts, intending to march directly towards the capital of Wei from five directions.
However, Xiao Shi was still hesitant about which battlefront and which general should be in charge of the attack.
After all, Xiao Mo, Fang Weiming, Zhang Kui and others all have different styles of leading troops and fighting battles, and the generals and troops they face in various cities are also different.
After a day of discussion, it was finally decided that Xiao Shi would lead the army from the due north direction directly towards the capital of Wei. Zhang Kui, Yue Lie, and other generals with strong tempers would follow on his flanks, and they would only serve as his deputies, and would follow the decisions of Huang Sifan and Fang Weiming in everything.
The most cautious and steady Liu Xing and Xiao Mo were assigned to the two flanks of the main army, respectively, with the important task of conquering cities and territories, as well as the responsibility of preventing the main army in the center from being harassed.
The day before the army was to set out, Xiao Mo heard news that the eldest son of the Xiao family had left the Taoshan Sect and would soon arrive at the Northern Wilderness Army camp to lend a helping hand to the Northern Wilderness Army.
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Yishe was extremely excited.
In recent days, Xiao Yishe has been completely marginalized. In comparison, Xiao Mo's status in the Northern Wilderness Army has been rising higher and higher, which naturally makes him extremely unhappy.
At this time, his elder brother was coming to the Northern Wilderness Army, and naturally he wanted his brother to back him up.
After all, his elder brother was a cultivation genius. He was not even fifty years old, but he was already a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. He was also the closed-door disciple of the sect master of the Taoshan Sect!
In Xiao Yishe's view, his elder brother would definitely be able to replace Xiao Mo in the army.
Xiao Mo didn't care about this at all.
In Xiao Mo's view, no matter who comes, he is just going to march and fight, and it has nothing to do with him.
On the third day after capturing Yuetong Pass, at dawn, Xiao Mo's army was fully prepared and ready to set out at half past 5 a.m.
Less than a quarter of an hour before the troops were to be dispatched, Xiao Yishe was ordered to deliver a message to Xiao Mo.
As soon as Xiao Yishe arrived outside Xiao Mo's military camp, he saw that the 250,000-strong army was arrayed in perfect uniformity, exuding an extremely solemn and murderous aura. Whether it was the Snow-Treading Dragon Riders or ordinary Northern Wilderness infantry, they were all as still as statues.
"Li Jing, where is Xiao Mo?" Xiao Yishe asked his former deputy general.
Li Jing merely glanced at Xiao Yishe indifferently, then looked away and ignored him.
Xiao Yishe used to think that Li Jing looked down on him, but now he doesn't even pay attention to him anymore!
Xiao Yishe felt insulted.
But Li Jing was a veteran general, so Xiao Yishe couldn't say anything. He simply swallowed his anger, ignored Li Jing, and headed through the army formation toward the rear camp.
However, just as he took a step forward, two newly promoted and unknown soldiers beside Li Jing crossed their spears and blocked Xiao Yishe's path.
"You dare to stop me?!" Xiao Yi clenched his fists in anger, his shoulders heaving violently.
"How can we allow outsiders to intrude into our ranks?" said the soldier named Wang She in a cold voice.
“I am the second son of the Prince of Zhenbei! A lieutenant general of the Northern Wilderness Army! Am I just anyone?” Xiao Yishe said through gritted teeth.
But the two lieutenants still did not move their spears, their eyes filled with contempt.
"What is it?"
Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, Xiao Mo rode his Snow-Treading Horse to the front of the army formation.
"Reporting to the General, Young Master Xiao is here to see you." Li Jing clasped his hands in a salute.
Xiao Mo, mounted on his horse, looked down at Xiao Yishe and asked, "Second Brother, is there anything I can help you with?"
Xiao Yishe clenched his fists tightly: "The Northern Wilderness King ordered me to convey that there are many sects along the Frost King's marching route. Sects that are willing to surrender will be kept, while those that are unwilling to surrender will be flattened."
"Understood." Xiao Mo nodded and took out a mask to cover his face.
At the same time, the 50,000 iron cavalry of the Snow-Treading Dragon Riders were all covered in Asura masks.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xiao Yishe's heart trembled, and he subconsciously retreated to the side of the military formation.
These 50,000 iron cavalrymen seemed to be nothing less than gods of slaughter.
"The Northern Wilderness Army!" Xiao Mo's voice resonated with spiritual power.
"Your subordinate is here!" the Northern Wilderness army shouted in unison, their voices deafening.
"Marching into battle!"
With Xiao Mo's command, the 250,000-strong army marched forward in a mighty procession.
Xiao Yishe stared blankly at the dust raised by the 250,000-strong army.
The army that he couldn't command before turned into a completely different force in Xiao Mo's hands.
"Could it be that I'm really inferior to him?" Xiao Yishe's nails dug into his palms. "No! I can't possibly be inferior to him!"
The capital of the Qin state.
In the study of the residence of the Second Prince, Qin Jingyuan.
Qin Jingyuan poured a cup of tea for the scholar in front of him and slowly asked, "What does the Prime Minister of Jin want with my Prince of Qin?"
Not long ago, a scholar came to the Second Prince's residence and had a guard deliver a letter inside.
Qin Jingyuan opened it and found a handwritten letter from the Prime Minister of Jin and a token symbolizing the recipient's identity.
The scholar's lips curled up: "Whether in temperament, talent, or aptitude for cultivation, the Second Prince is superior to the First Prince. However, our Prime Minister has heard that the First Prince is increasingly favored by the King of Qin and is already showing signs of being made the heir apparent. Will the Second Prince be willing to accept this?"
Qin Jingyuan narrowed his eyes, looking at the man in front of him: "Do you know what you're saying?"
"Of course I know." The scholar smiled slightly. "If the Second Prince is willing, my Jin Kingdom is willing to lend him a hand!"
