Kublai Khan and King Jinlun looked at Mongke with ashen faces. Although they were very reluctant and did not believe it, it was indeed the fact that the vanguard troops were killed like stupid pigs without leaving a single piece of armor.

Seeing the expressions of the two men, Mengge took a deep breath.

"What is the reason? Even if they were defeated, they wouldn't have escaped by chance, right?"

Kublai Khan and King Jinlun looked at each other, then slowly told the story of what had happened, describing in detail the scene after Xiaoyaowei appeared.

After listening to Kublai Khan's explanation, Mongke was silent for a long time.

After a long while, Mengge looked at King Jinlun and said, "Even the Imperial Master is no match for Xiaoyao Manor?"

After hearing this, King Jinlun's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "Great Khan, you think too highly of me. Not to mention that I am no match for Xiaoyao Manor, I may not even be able to defeat a Xiaoyao Guard..."

But he couldn't say that openly. He just said solemnly, "Xiaoyao Manor has a large number of people and many experts. Their combined strength is far greater than that of this humble minister."

His words made Mengge fall into deep thought again.

After a long moment, he looked at Kublai Khan and spoke.

"Kublai Khan, you have always been a wise man. What do you think about the current situation?" Mongke's gaze finally shifted from King Jinlun to the face of his young and shrewd brother Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan was slightly stunned. He did not answer immediately because he did not know what to do in the current situation.

He paused for a moment, as if thinking about how to respond. After a while, he opened his mouth and spoke slowly.

"Although Xiaoyao Manor is strong, it is not invulnerable."

"They have many experts, which is indeed beyond our reach. However, they also have a disadvantage, which is that they are few in number. Facing our well-trained army of hundreds of thousands, one or two thousand Xiaoyao Guards are nothing at all."

Kublai Khan's words made Mongke's eyes light up. He nodded, motioning Kublai Khan to continue.

Kublai Khan took a deep breath and continued, "We can adopt a tactic of dividing our forces and attacking together. First, we will send an elite force to hide and wait for an opportunity. At the same time, our main army will launch a strong attack on Xiangyang from the front."

"When the Xiaoyao Guards take action, the elite troops will quickly surround them. This way, the masters of Xiaoyao Manor will be forced to disperse their forces, and we will have the opportunity to defeat them one by one."

"However, there is a huge disadvantage, that is, the elite troops may suffer heavy casualties, or even..."

Kublai Khan's voice gradually became low and he did not continue speaking.

His words were very clear, that is, to send these people to their deaths.

It was not enough to use ordinary troops, but also the elite troops. How many elite troops were there in the 500,000-strong Mongolian army? Ten to one, only 50,000. To use 50,000 elite troops to encircle and suppress Xiaoyao Village would be a huge cost.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became heavy.

Mengge's face also became solemn. He knew what Kublai meant. Fifty thousand elite soldiers were the most elite force for the Mongolian army, but the threat from Xiaoyaozhuang could not be ignored. He had to make a choice between the two.

Mengge pondered for a long time, finally looked at Kublai Khan and said: If only one out of 50,000 soldiers survive, do you know what kind of predicament it will cause to our army?

Kublai nodded and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I understand your concerns, but I think that for the future and glory of the Mongol Empire, we must make some sacrifices. As long as we can defeat Xiaoyao Manor, these sacrifices are worth it."

It was really difficult for Kublai Khan, who thought so highly of the Xiaoyao Guard that he actually wanted to mobilize 50,000 elite troops to destroy the Xiaoyao Guard in one fell swoop.

However, it can also be seen here that Kublai Khan was extremely ambitious and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Mongolia no longer hesitated and immediately agreed: "Okay, then mobilize 50,000 troops to besiege Xiaoyao Village! Everything depends on the future of our Great Mongolia!"

"Master, you are in charge of these 50,000 elite troops. I only have one request, to completely wipe out Xiaoyao Manor!"

When King Jinlun heard this, his heart tightened.

Although he had an army of 50,000 at his side, he was still a little intimidated by the strength of the Xiaoyao Guards. However, he quickly accepted the order, because he was the Mongolian national teacher after all, a strong man at the peak of his innate power, and he would not retreat before the battle.

While the three of them were discussing in the big tent, they didn't know that a huge monster had appeared above them.

Liu Hao just asked Xiaoyaowei and others to rest on the spot, and then he rode on the little eagle to start reconnaissance over the Mongolian army.

Five hundred thousand troops, oh no, now there are only four hundred thousand left. Three hundred thousand Mongolian troops are stationed twenty miles outside Xiangyang City, and the rest are at the front ready to attack at any time.

Liu Hao had only two purposes for this trip. First, to scout the detailed situation of the enemy so as to formulate a combat strategy. Second, to see if he could meet King Jinlun and copy the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra.

The Nine Yin Scriptures, the Xiantian Gong, the One Yang Finger, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and he also accidentally obtained a Six Meridians Divine Sword. Even the Nine Yang Divine Art hidden in Shaolin was taken away by Liu Hao, and of course he would not miss the 72 Shaolin unique skills.

Now all he needed was King Jinlun’s Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra. After obtaining it, Liu Hao was satisfied. Now he was like a mobile martial arts encyclopedia, and there was nothing he didn’t know.

The giant eagle flew over the Mongolian army and did not attract the attention of the Mongolian soldiers for a while. But slowly, as the small eagle gradually lowered its flying altitude, some sharp-eyed Mongolian soldiers began to notice this abnormal presence.

They raised their bows and arrows, trying to shoot down the "enemy" flying freely in the sky.

The Mongols were good at riding and shooting, and had an almost obsessive love for archery. Therefore, when they saw this huge eagle in the sky, they naturally would not miss the opportunity to show off their archery skills.

However, their bows and arrows could not reach the little eagle soaring in the sky.

When Liu Hao saw the actions of the ants below, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He touched the little eagle's neck and pointed at the Mongolian soldiers on the ground.

The little eagle seemed to understand Liu Hao's intention. It let out a sharp cry and then dived down quickly.

Its speed was so fast that the Mongolian soldiers below drew their bows and shot arrows again. However, when their arrows reached the little eagle, they were all blocked by the eagle's seemingly soft feathers.

The Mongolian soldiers below could only watch as the huge eagle swooped down from the sky and flew towards them with a fierce momentum.

Such a noisy sound near the central army tent quickly attracted the three men, Mengge, who were in the tent.

They all walked out of the tent. Mengge's face was gloomy at this time. He shouted angrily: "Why are you making so much noise?"

But his roar did not stop the noise. He looked up in the direction the soldiers were looking and saw a giant golden eagle quickly approaching them.
