After more than ten days of rapid march, Qiu Yutang's army finally arrived at Daojian Gorge successfully.

The maid Qiu Yirou lifted up the curtains and looked out, turned around and said to Qiu Yutang, "Your Highness, there is Daojian Gorge in front of you."

Qiu Hanyun also said: "Governor Yao Chang sent someone to report yesterday, and the northern wing army of the Guanghui Empire has not yet passed the Black Wind."

Akio, who was working on the map, raised his head and frowned and said, "My aunt, now it seems that Meng Hu's ability is not the case. The information shows that his North Wing army has four infantry divisions and one cavalry division, but he cannot take over the Heifengkou where Governor Yao Chang two new recruit divisions were stationed. His performance is very average."

Qiu Yutang did not respond, but held the fragrant cheeks in deep thoughts.

Qiu Yutang was also unexpected to be able to rush to Daojian Gorge in front of Meng Hu's northern wing army.

When Qiu Yutang learned that the Guanghui Empire's troops were divided into three groups, Meng Hu's northern wing army had already reached Lieliu City. It was only four or five hundred miles from Lieliu City to Heifengkou. It was only four or five days to arrive. It has been more than half a month since time passed, and his imperial guards have been rushing for more than a thousand miles a long distance, and directly entered from Huxiao Pass to Daojian Gorge. Meng Hu's northern wing army was still wandering south of Heifengkou?

Then the question arises. What did Meng Hu go for about ten days?

Could it be that Meng Hu's northern wing army was lost? So it wasted ten days of precious time in vain? Qiu Yutang was denied as soon as this idea arose. Although the terrain of hundreds of miles south of the Black Windkou was complex, there was no dense primeval forest. Meng Hu's northern wing army would never get lost by just marching along the official road.

Then there is only one possibility left. Meng Hu deliberately slowed down the marching speed, so in the past half month, his northern wing army has only walked less than 500 miles, which means that on average, marching only thirty miles per day! Why did Meng Hu do this? Is he trying to preserve the strength of the Western Legion?

It doesn't look like it. If Meng Hu wants to preserve his strength, the wisest choice is to stay in Lieliu City!

Lieliu City is located in a junction between north and south, and if Meng Hu's northern wing army stays there, he can join Mengyan's middle army to the south, go north and then east, you can retreat to the Guanghui Empire through Tianlang Pass, and go east, or you can retreat to the western province along the original road of Hexi Canyon. It can be said that you can attack and retreat to defend, and you can be very calm in strategy.

But now Meng Hu’s northern wing army is not in Lieliu City, but in Heifengkou!

Could it be that Meng Hu has become an unjust towards the Glorious Empire, and wants to preserve his strength, and take this rare opportunity to train his Western Legion into an elite soldier in order to fight the suppression of the Glorious Empire in the future? Meng Hu really wants to hold on to this plan, then everything that has happened can be explained.

Meng Hu deliberately slowed down his marching speed in order not to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Mingyue Empire, so as not to be surrounded by the Mingyue army. The Yunzhou Division at Heifengkou was for training. The two new recruit divisions under Yao Chang were indeed Meng Hu's most ideal training targets. Yes, that must be the case!

The sound of Wukuishan suddenly sounded outside the car window: "Your Highness, Black Wind Reveal!"

Qiu Yutang came back from her contemplation and replied: "Speak."

Wukuishan said: "The afternoon before yesterday, Meng Hu's northern wing army launched a fierce attack on Heifengkou. The fierce battle continued until yesterday morning. The two Yunzhou divisions stationed in Heifengkou were defeated by the enemy. Fortunately, the two cavalry divisions of Governor Qin Lie arrived in time and took the opportunity to launch a counterattack on the enemy, annihilated more than 10,000 enemies!"

Qiu Yutang's willow eyebrows frowned again and asked in a low voice: "How are the casualties of Governor Yao Chang's two Yunzhou divisions?"

Wukuishan replied in a heavy tone: "The two Yunzhou divisions suffered heavy casualties, and there are less than 10,000 surviving soldiers."

Qiuye next to him couldn't help but breathe a breath of air and said in a low voice: "Governor Yao Chang's two Yunzhou divisions were still unable to stop Meng Hu's northern wing army's 24-hour attack with the Black Wind? The emperor's aunt, Ye'er took back his comments on Meng Hu just now. It seems that this tiger is indeed very dangerous."

Qiu Yutang nodded slightly and asked again: "How is the situation in Heifengkou now?"

Wukuishan said: "Meng Hu's northern wing army has voluntarily evacuated Heifengkou and is advancing towards Lieliucheng. The remaining troops of Governor Yao Chang's Yunzhou are stepping up to build camps at Heifengkou, while the Dingzhou Light Cavalry of Governor Qin Lie is following and monitoring the enemy."

"Have you evacuated from the Black Wind?" Qiu Yutang's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she murmured, "It's true!"

Qiuye was more concerned about whether he could successfully hunt tigers, and suddenly asked: "My aunt, I wonder if General Xiao Lang's guard army could rush to Lieliu City before Meng Hu's northern wing army?"

Qiu Yutang sighed lightly and suddenly said, "Ye'er, aunt now hopes that Meng Hu can return to Lieliu City before Xiao Lang."

"Why?" Qiuye said in confusion, "If Meng Hu returned to Lieliu City before General Xiao Lang, then the emperor's aunt's tiger hunting plan would have completely failed."

Qiu Yutang said: "Although the tiger hunting plan failed, the more than 400,000 troops of the 16 divisions gathered within a radius of hundreds of miles of Heifengkou can be avoided from a war, or they can go south quickly and detour behind the Mengyan Middle Road army! In this way, the severe situation facing the empire will be greatly alleviated."

"Going south and going around?"

Qiuye said in surprise, "My aunt, it's not appropriate to go south before Meng Hu's northern wing army is solved? If Meng Hu takes advantage of the opportunity to go north to Heifengkou again and go south through the sword and sword go south and knock on Xijing, his father will be in danger. The imperial capital will have no army to resist this tiger."

"No, no." Qiu Yutang said in a narrow voice, "Now it is certain that Meng Hu is an ambitious man. In his eyes, there is no Guanghu Empire, only his own interests. He obviously hopes that Meng Yan's entire army will be destroyed, and he also hopes that the Guanghu Empire and our Mingyue Empire can fight for both losses, so that he can take the opportunity to become independent."

"Self-reliance?" Qiuye said in surprise, "Auntie, do you mean Meng Hu is unjust?"

"Yes." Qiu Yutang said with great certainty, "Meng Hu definitely has the intention to be disobedient!"

The maid Qiu Hanyun suddenly said, "If this is the case, as long as Meng Hu is released, the Guanghui Empire will be in chaos."

"That's not the case."

Qiu Yutang sighed lightly and said, "From now on, Meng Hu's threat is indeed not as great as the Glorious Empire, but in the long run, Meng Hu's threat is far more powerful than the Glorious Empire. If this ambitious man steals the imperial power of the Glorious Empire in the future, I am afraid that the entire Middle-earth world will be bloody."

"I still have to kill Meng Hu." Akio clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Nothing else, just to avenge the emperor's uncle!"

Qiu Yutang shook her head lightly and sighed: "But the old general Situ cannot persist in Hu Xiao Pass for too long. We cannot stand stalemate with Meng Hu's northern wing army for too long, and we cannot fight with Meng Hu to lose both sides. Otherwise, even if we go south, we will not be able to pose a threat to Meng Yan's middle army. Therefore, this is a dilemma. If Meng Hu is let go, it will cause endless harm. If Meng Hu is not let go, the empire will be in danger..."

Qiuye said firmly, "My aunt, Ye'er thought he should kill Meng Hu first! No matter what, this time we mobilized a total of eighteen divisions. Even if we lost the two Yunzhou divisions of Governor Yao Chang, there were still 16 divisions with 400,000 troops!"

"What Yeer said is reasonable, then according to what you said, kill Meng Hu first!"

To be honest, Qiu Yutang was originally between the two. Whether it was to deal with Meng Hu with all his strength or let his northern wing army leave, there were both advantages and disadvantages. However, based on personal feelings, Qiu Yutang was never willing to let Meng Hu go easily. After all, Meng Hu killed her fiancé and made her become a widow without marriage.

Heifengkou heads to the official road of Lieliu City.

Meng Hu suddenly felt a chill for no reason. Did he catch a cold? It was impossible. How could he catch a cold with his strong physique? He shook his head in confusion. When Meng Hu looked up again, a steep mountain peak in front of him had appeared in his sight. A silver-like waterfall was flowing down from the cliff on the mountainside. What winded through the cliff was the poisonous river where the drinker stood dead!

Behind Meng Hu, more than 60,000 troops of the Western Legion were setting up a tight defensive formation and slowly retreating along the official road. This retreat was just to lure Qin Lie's Dingzhou Light Cavalry into a trap. Meng Hu certainly would not show off his snowboard, so the infantry of the Western Legion were walking on the snow.

The cavalry division responsible for the breaking of the rear was Ma Sifeng's cavalry division. A stone's throw away from Ma Sifeng's division, the brigade of Dingzhou Light Cavalry was following up slowly, like a pack of wolves adorned with sheep. Although they did not reveal their ferocious and sharp minions for the time being, the gloomy and cold aura was rampant in the world, so depressing that it was so depressing that it was breathless.

It was almost too late, and the Western Legion suddenly stopped on the official road.

Qin Feng looked forward with a tent in his hand, turned around and said to Qin Lie, "Father, the enemy seems to be going to camp!"

Qin Lie nodded slightly when he heard this. In fact, Qin Feng said that he had also seen it. About two heavy infantrymen of the size of the registrar had already arrived in front of the Dingzhou cavalry formation and acted as a warning. The enemy cavalry division, which was originally responsible for the breaking of the rear, had passed the two infantry regiments and went to the river to drink horses and rest.

"It seems that the enemy really plans to camp."

Qin Lie thought for a moment and said, "Then let's camp too. Feng'er, take the cavalry of the two regiments to be in charge of the guard. Yun'er, you take the remaining soldiers to the river to drink horses. The war horses are running for a day, and it's time to be thirsty. In addition, don't let the soldiers drink raw water in the river. It's too cold this day, drinking raw water is easy to have a stomachache, and you can't ride a horse to fight if you have a stomachache."

Qin Feng, Qin Yun agreed and took the order.
