The North received its first heavy snowfall of the year.
In fact, this heavy snowfall came too late compared to God, so it seemed a bit weird.
But fortunately, the heavy snow started just like previous years. The overwhelming snowflakes continued to fall, making the entire northern border, especially the majestic Great Wall, covered with snow. In the center of the Great Wall that spread for unknown miles, that is, In the area where there is a general's mansion, flying snow covered the buildings here in a very short time. At first glance, there was only a vast expanse of white.
The already senile general walked out of the mansion, with some inexplicable emotions in his cloudy eyes. He let the white snow fall on his white hair. Behind him, people kept walking out slowly, and finally stood in a row. , looking north together.
The general was silent for a long time, then slowly spoke in a calm voice and asked: "Is this battle over now?"
Listening to the general speaking, a middle-aged Confucian scholar came out from behind him, with some excitement on his face, and said softly: "Unexpectedly, not only is the battle over, but the result is much better than we expected. It’s over, and there will be peace in the north for at least twenty years.”
Hearing the middle-aged Confucian scholar speak like this, the generals and monks behind him all had excitement in their eyes. After so many years of fighting between the human race and the demon race, in the past two hundred years or so since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, I don’t know how many wars have broken out between the human race and the demon race in the northern border. But wars happen from time to time. Most of the time, the northern border of the Liang Dynasty relies on this impregnable Great Wall to support itself. Like now, it can win. , and it is not a tragic victory. In the more than two hundred years of the history of the Liang Dynasty, although this is not the first time, it can be said to be in the top three. In the past hundred years, this is the first time.
But even with such a victory, there was still no joy on the general's face.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar said: "Most of the soldiers who were abandoned before have been rescued. We have done the best we can in this battle. If there is no accident, we all A person who will be written into history books.”
To become famous and be remembered for eternity, this kind of thing is considered attractive to most people. After all, what people want in this world is nothing more than fame and fortune.
Apart from that, there is probably only the word longevity, and after that, there is nothing else.
But even though he spoke like this, the general remained silent.
The generals behind him didn't speak either.
I don't know how long it took before the general continued: "Liu Jianxian wields the sword Mobei. He has been seriously injured. Can he still leave Mobei and go south now?"
Everything in this war was planned, but there were two points that were always beyond their expectation. The first one was whether the abandoned son should give up completely. At that time, the General's Mansion was still discussing this matter. Liu Banbi He was the first to go to the city with his sword. This swordsman who was born in an academy and has been in the north for more than ten years passed by with his sword and saved many people, but he was naturally seriously injured in the end. But even though In this way, he still did not choose to retreat back to the south, but chose to go to Qingshi Pass with his seriously injured body.
From the perspective of the entire battle, Liu Banbi may not be said to have the final say in this battle, but his existence also has special significance.
The second one is that Qingshi Pass has been seen as the weak point of this layout. Once the demon clan chooses to flock to that pass like a tide, then this war, even at the end, is likely to turn into a human race. The defeat may even cause the Great Wall of the North to be breached, and then the demon clan will move south. For the human race, it will be another Yong'an chaos.
Moreover, at that time, the General's Mansion was very busy and it was difficult to dispatch anyone to support.
But when the general and Liu Banbi rushed to Qingshi Pass, the pass was shattered, but they did not see a single monster present.
At that time, Liu Banbi rushed to Mobei with his sword, and the general returned to the general's mansion after staying at Qingshi Pass for several days. At this time, news came from the capital of God, and with multiple confirmations, the general finally confirmed that now His Majesty the Emperor has penetrated thirty thousand miles into Mobei and made great contributions to the entire northern war situation. He almost used himself as bait to involve the entire demon army. In this way, the pressure on the Great Wall was suddenly reduced, and for The final victory fell into a crucial step, but in this way, it actually prolonged the war in disguise, because now, the final victory or defeat has become whether the emperor can leave the desert. North.
The general wanted to send troops deep into Mobei several times, but after much consideration, he still made no decision.
"Liu Jianxian is in Mobei, and His Majesty is also there. Now, in this battle in Mobei, it is not possible to say that we have won."
The general suddenly turned his head, looked at the many northern generals, and said slowly: "Our northern border troops are mostly infantry. The cavalry will not gain much benefit from encountering the monster cavalry in this snowy weather." .”
As soon as he opened his mouth, the middle-aged Confucian scholar immediately reacted and said seriously: "General, think twice!"
The general ignored him and just continued: "Once His Majesty the Emperor dies in Mobei and the city of God is in chaos, I really don't understand where the Liang Dynasty will go..."
"General, I am willing to personally lead ten thousand cavalry and go deep into Mobei to meet His Majesty!"
Some generals spoke loudly, but in fact, the so-called ten thousand cavalry going deep into the northern border was probably a narrow escape from death.
"I have thought about it for a long time. The safety of the entire northern border and the entire northern defense line are in my hands. I really don't dare to give orders easily."
The general's white hair was floating, and he laughed at himself as he looked at the old man: "After all, he is still old. If he was twenty years younger, why would he think so much?"
Indeed, everyone present knew the dilemma the general was in now. His Majesty the Emperor was in the northern border and was in a critical situation. As a minister of the Liang Dynasty, he should actually protect him, but there was a Great Wall behind him. He could not easily Make a decision.
"So this general has been waiting."
"Although it's probably too late."
The general looked at everyone present, coughed a few times, spit out some blood, and his palms turned red.
"A few days ago, my general ordered the nearby state troops to go to the northern border to provide support. Now 200,000 state troops have arrived."
The general looked at a tall general among the crowd, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly: "Li Changling!"
The tall general knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The general is here!"
"There are 200,000 cavalry troops in the northern border army. This general wants you to lead 200,000 cavalry troops deep into Mobei to welcome His Majesty back! Do you dare?"
Li Changling, who had made a name for himself in Mobei in the early years, said loudly: "How can the general dare not?!"
As he spoke, several generals around him knelt down and said in unison: "The last general is willing to accompany General Li to fight in Mobei and welcome back His Majesty!"
The general didn't speak, just waved his hand.
After that, he looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar and said softly: "What happens to the gods is beyond my control, but since Your Majesty came to the North alone, I, the Northern Border Army, can help His Majesty to gain momentum."
