The female Bodhisattva had a profound understanding of Buddhism, but she knew that she was not good at military affairs, especially when Xie Xibian was a young military master who shone in the Guangling Taoist Battlefield. She admitted that she could not convince him, but she did not dare to put the safety of Buddhism in the Western Region in the hands of that young man. Faced with Xie Xibian's insistence, she could only propose a compromise, which was for them to bring 20,000 monk soldiers to the military town of Lin Yao. At the same time, a middle-aged monk with a hidden identity who had the Vajra Divine Ability of Buddhism would rush to the provincial governor's mansion in Qingcang City as a scout to report this matter. What she meant was that even if Mount Qingliang and the Protectorate General's Office could not respond in time, as long as the provincial governor's mansion agreed, she would agree to Xie Xibian's plan.
However, Xie Xibian told her bluntly that in Qingcang City of Liuzhou, provincial governor Yang Guangdou, and even Chen Xiliang did not dare to make a decision on this matter. Moreover, they might not be able to make it in time.
Thus, the two of them fell into a stalemate.
In the end, it was a handsome gyrfalcon that pierced through the clouds and stopped on Xie Xibian's arm!
The battle of Liuzhou had already begun, and the battle of Liangzhou was about to begin. However, under these circumstances, this gyrfalcon, which was personally cultivated by Chu Lushan and had followed the young king all these years, actually used the young Xie Xibian, who was far away from the two battlefields, as its only contact!
At that moment, she had mixed feelings and was speechless.
Xie Xibian told her in a low voice, "I will take responsibility for this matter!"
The young man added, "The King of Beiliang also believes that the deputy general of Liuzhou, Xie Xibian, can take responsibility for this matter!"
Only then did she tacitly agree to his deployment of troops. The 20,000 strong and fearless monk soldiers of Mount Lantuo split up and entered the two towns of Fengxiang and Linyao.
At this moment, the female Bodhisattva, who was dressed in a white kasaya but had a head full of black hair, stood on the city wall of Lin Yao. She looked at the 10,000 elite soldiers of Beimang outside the city, escorted by thousands of cavalrymen and felt relieved.
She had made the right bet.
Beimang did intend to ambush the two towns!
Even someone like her who didn't know much about military affairs knew that the weak military strength that was continuously transferred out from the two towns was not enough to defend the two towns. She had some general understanding of some of the main elites of Liang Mang's border armies, for example, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and White Horse Crossbowmen outside Liangzhou Pass, Yan Wenluan's infantry within Youzhou, and the Long Xiang Army in Liuzhou. She had heard of the Northern Mang Southern Dynasty's Dong Zhuo's infantry that was said to be able to wrestle with Youzhou's infantry, as well as that Fatty Dong's Crow Cage, the Qiang cavalry that had already been wiped out in Liu Province, the Rouran cavalry that had now been disbanded, and so on.
Apart from these, there were also some troops that she was not unfamiliar with. Among them, there were the Infantry Brigade of Beimang's Southern Dynasty Border Army. Everyone knew that the grassland cavalry had been harming the Central Plains for nearly 800 years, but they had never heard that there were troops and horses that were good at attacking cities. They had always either bypassed those impregnable passes and high cities, or the grassland cavalry had always taken the initiative to seek out the main force of the Central Plains Border Army and annihilate them in one fell swoop, causing those border cities to lose their original strategic significance. However, things were different in Beimang now. Other than Dong Zhuo's private army, which was mostly made up of infantry, the Southern Dynasty Border Army had a special kind of troop stationed in several military towns. They were the Infantry Brigade. They were definitely different from ordinary infantry and their treatment was not inferior to the heavy armored infantry in the history of the Central Plains. They were the true soldiers of the Empress of Beimang. Li Yishan once described this troop as follows: "The Infantry Brigade of the Southern Dynasty of Beimang is the result of the painstaking efforts of the King of the Southern Courtyard, Huang Songpu. They go up and down the hillsides, enter and exit the streams, and are the best at climbing high and traveling light. In the deep and dangerous valleys, they use the Infantry Brigade more often. Their ability to attack cities is not inferior to the top elite soldiers of the Central Plains. "
She gently exhaled, and her eyes instantly turned cold. She casually threw an armored corpse high out of the city.
It was Cai Anshan, the Lin Yao City's Mu who was waiting for an opportunity to make a move!
Beimang obviously came prepared. They had already convinced Cai Anshan to submit to the Southern Dynasty. With them working from the inside and outside, how could Lin Yao defend the town?
Before entering the city, Xie Xibian told her to keep an eye on Cai Anshan. As long as there was any movement, it was better to kill the wrong person than not kill at all.
She didn't even look at the corpse that fell heavily to the ground. She muttered, "I used to think that the so-called 'godly use of troops' in military books were just boasting by historians who used to be scholars. Now it seems that I was a frog at the bottom of the well."
Not only did that youngster foresee Northern Mang's intentions to encroach on the two towns, through that gyrfalcon, he gave the order to Cao Wei's cavalry that they didn't need to provide support to Yu Luan's Blade Division's Youzhou Cavalry in Southern Dynasty's hinterland, but rather quickly return the way they came, and then wipe out all of the Northern Mang Border Army that infiltrated Liu Province's border!
Such courage and decisiveness really made her, who was on the same side, feel terrified.
Just in case, when things came to a head, one was one.
However, that Liu Province Deputy General just happened to be able to return this chance to Northern Mang exactly as it was.
She did not feel that this was a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
Among those who practiced martial arts, there were also exceptional geniuses who were unparalleled.
It was the same for those who used troops. They became heroes that never appeared in the world.

On the city wall of the Phoenix Legion Town in Beiliang, which was the furthest out of the three towns in the west, Xie Xibian was wearing armor. His hand pressed on his cold blade, and his expression was cold.
Even in such attire, this scholarly looking young man gave one the feeling of a scholar.
In a voice that only he could hear, he said in a low voice, "Kou Jianghuai, you said in your early years that one day in a cavalry battle, you would fight as if you were using your cavalry to bully your infantry!"
The evaluation of the Liyang Dynasty was that since the Dafeng Dynasty, he was called a Confucian general. He used the Spring and Autumn Weapon Armor Ye Baikui to win. After him, it was Chen Zhibao.
After Chen Zhibao, Xie Xibian was the top Confucian general!
The three of them each had their own strengths, and there was no difference in strength.
Maybe because Xie Xibian was the only one who was still alive and held a high position in the Imperial Court, such a conclusion might not have been able to convince the masses.
Even so, Xie Xibian's position in the hearts of the future strategists was already enough.
Regarding this matter, Xie Xibian, who was in his twilight years, could only laugh to his close friends, "In terms of using troops, I am far from Kou Jianghuai."
Xie Xibian, Kou Jianghuai.
