Even in Lü Zhou, first-rank experts were not as common as cabbages. The Blackfeather Army had sent a first-rank guest to infiltrate the mountain range, which was a big deal in itself. The commander of the Blackfeather Army hoped that they would be of great use in the war.
In the end, they were like pebbles thrown into the ocean, never to be heard from again.
The Blackfeather Army had been planning for many years, and who knew how many spies they had planted in the back of Weibei Pass. If this Blackfeather Army that had infiltrated the mountain range had done something, the commander of the Blackfeather Army would definitely have received the news.
Even if this Blackfeather Army had rebelled and surrendered to Long Meng's army, they should have received some news!
However, there was no news. It was as if that army had been swallowed by the mountain range …
Then, the Blackfeather Army collectively sent a wave of negative emotion points to Lü Shu.
In the central tent of the Blackfeather Army outside Weibei Pass, a middle-aged man was resting with his eyes closed. "There's something strange about this mountain range. Lin He, Zhang Yun, lead the troops and take a look. I want to see what's hidden in this mountain range."
"Yes." The two men in front of the tent cupped their fists and left.
Then, they never came back …
The Blackfeather Army was puzzled. They were fighting with their lives on the line at Weibei Pass to attract the attention of Long Meng's army, hoping that the elites of the Blackfeather Army could circle to the back and launch a pincer attack to deal fatal damage to Weibei Pass.
In the end, while they were busy fighting here, a few troops on the other side had gone missing. What was going on? What was going on in that mountain range?
At this time, Lü Shu looked at the skyrocketing negative emotion points in his income record and was elated. Lü Xiaoyu had helped him earn a lot, and this time, he had killed a few Blackfeather Army troops and gained a lot more.
Lü Shu did not dare to imagine how many levels he would advance after he broke through his shackles. As expected, war and death were the correct ways to obtain negative emotion points …
This caused Lü Shu to reflect on whether there was a problem with the way he obtained negative emotion value in the past …
However, he shook his head. After all, people would die in war. After a few battles, Wu Weijun had lost more than a hundred men. Even with the protection of three Rank-1 masters, he would never be able to avoid death. This was a very real thing.
Today, Wu Weijun had completely transformed to the point that even Lü Shu found it hard to believe. Who would have thought that this tattered army was a slave army that everyone looked down upon two months ago?
Wu Weijun no longer lacked weapons and armor. Lü Shu even wanted Liu Yizhao to bring the extra three thousand spears and armor to Weibei Pass and ask the commander of Weibei Pass if he wanted them …
However, that would be too ostentatious. Lü Shu felt that it was better not to do that for now. The weapons and armor would always be damaged, so he would just treat these things as Wu Weijun's inventory.
In the past, people always said that it was too expensive to raise an army, but Lü Shu did not feel that way. If he lacked anything, he could just ask the enemy for it. Slowly, he would not lack anything.
When the Blackfeather Army entered the mountains, they brought dry rations with them. These dry rations were enough for Wu Weijun to eat for a long time.
In the second month after the Blackfeather Army arrived at Weibei Pass, someone in Wu Weijun began to break through again!
It was too difficult for Rank-2 and Rank-3 soldiers to break through, but with such high-intensity training and nourishment from medicinal herbs, it was possible for Rank-4 soldiers to break through in a short period of time.
Therefore, Lü Shu decided to lay low for the time being. Even if the Blackfeather Army entered the mountains, he would ignore them and focus on improving his strength. Originally, Lü Shu was worried about what he would do if the Blackfeather Army entered the mountains to encircle and annihilate him. In the end, the battle between the Blackfeather Army and Weibei Pass had also entered a white-hot stage, and he had no time to care about other things.
It was also during this time that Lü Shu finally reached Rank-2.
This was the realm that he was most familiar with, so now that things had come to this, Lü Shu was filled with confidence.
At this moment, Liu Yizhao returned from outside and said respectfully to Lü Shu, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Blackfeather Army is about to break through the pass. The reinforcements that were waiting at Weibei Pass from the rear have yet to arrive. Right now, they are at the point where they are running out of men and food. The Blackfeather Army took Liyang Pass last month, and the Crimson Flame Army has already retreated 300 li. Right now, a small half of the Blackfeather Army at Liyang Pass is rushing towards Weibei Pass. The day they arrive at Weibei Pass is probably the day that Weibei Pass falls. "
Lü Shu was a little puzzled, "What's going on with the army of Nanzhou? Don't tell me that no one cares even if the Blackfeather Army invades?"
"The internal strife in Nanzhou is far more serious than Your Majesty can imagine. If the Emperor Of Heaven, Wen Zaifou, were to intervene, they definitely wouldn't dare to do this. However, it is said that the southern Emperor Of Heaven, Wen Zaifou, is currently in closed-door cultivation. Everyone knows that the Blackfeather Army can't take down the entire Nanzhou. Even if Duanmu Huangqi personally comes, it won't be enough. Therefore, they are boldly engaging in internal strife. When the people at Weibei Pass and Liyang Pass are all dead, they can come out and clean up the mess," Liu Yizhao said.
"That's a bit too much." Lü Shu pondered, "Now that Weibei Pass has fallen, and so many of the Blackfeather Army have gone missing, they will definitely rest and reorganize their forces, enter the mountains, and encircle us."
"Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty can make early preparations. Whether to fight or retreat, you have to make a decision as soon as possible," Liu Yizhao said calmly.
Seven days later, Weibei Pass was finally breached. This meant that the Blackfeather Army held Liyang Pass and Weibei Pass in their hands. Whether it was on a punitive expedition to the east or marching all the way north, the initiative was in their hands.
It was also at this time that the great nobles of the north and east were all excited. The Crimson Flame Army and Long Meng Army had to bear the consequences of losing their passes. Now was the time for them to come out and clean up the mess. Therefore, the entire Nanzhou finally became excited after losing three cities and two passes. Everyone hoped to have a share of this cake.
They couldn't privately occupy the cities and passes. They had to wait for the Emperor Of Heaven to come out of closed-door cultivation before they would be rewarded according to their contributions. Therefore, how many Blackfeather Army people killed and how many cities they recaptured would be used as bargaining chips in the future according to their contributions.
Of course, if they wanted to recapture the passes and cities from the hands of the Blackfeather Army, they needed to have the corresponding strength. After all, the Blackfeather Army was not weak. War came with a price.
The great nobles weren't in a hurry to send out their troops. Everyone wanted to wait a little longer. First, they wanted to wait for the Blackfeather Army's battle line to extend a little further. Second, they wanted to wait for others to act first to restrain the Blackfeather Army.
However, at this time, they realized that the Blackfeather Army didn't seem to continue heading north or east. Someone sent out a report saying that the Blackfeather Army had entered the mountains …
All the great nobles were stunned. Why would they enter the mountains? What was in the mountains?
Everyone subconsciously felt that there was something fishy going on. Could it be that the Blackfeather Army was deliberately trying to mislead them?
Wait, wait a little longer …
It wasn't that they were being paranoid. The current situation was too strange. The Blackfeather Army could either heavily garrison the two passes, continue to attack cities and territories, or retreat to the Western Province. It didn't matter. But why would they enter the mountains …
The Blackfeather Army's first batch to enter the mountains consisted of 15,000 people. Five commanders led the troops, and three of them were first-rank foreign officials.
This was a huge lineup!
