Li Cheng'en was appreciated by Emperor Taizong Wen and had outstanding military exploits. He was promoted to the governor of Wei.
This person, King Zhao, has always regarded him as a major enemy. Even on weekdays, King Zhao's army often moved towards the Tiance Army's garrison to explore his intelligence and military profile.
The combined intelligence analysis of Li Chengen's battle cases is almost half a person's height.
King Zhao has thoroughly studied Li Chengen's whole person, and coupled with the elite cavalry trained by King Zhao, he is 70% sure to defeat Li Chengen.
But Yang Qingyuan is in trouble.
He is a military commander who has suddenly emerged. Before the Battle of Cangyunguan, there was no case of him leading troops.
I don’t know where this man learned his unique military skills.
Especially the method of roaming, "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue."
The enemy advances and we retreat: conserve strength and wait to transfer the offensive.
When the enemy retreats, we advance: Destroy his morale and accumulate small victories into big victories.
The enemy is stationed and we are harassing: to tire out the enemy and create a favorable situation for us.
When the enemy is tired, we attack: Concentrate our forces and take the initiative to attack to annihilate the enemy.
In just sixteen words, the true meaning of the art of war is revealed.
I don’t know how he can acquire such military skills at such a young age.
In the battle at Cangyunguan, he relied on the black-armored Cangyun Army at Cangyunguan to lure the enemy deeper. In the end, the Cangyun Xuanjia Army and the garrison at Cangyunguan annihilated the main force of the Ogedai Khanate and killed the Kuochu Khan of the Ogedai Khanate.
This military merit alone is enough for an ordinary person to brag about for a lifetime, killing kings and armies, and the same is true for Zhang Wenyuan.
But for Yang Hou, the victory has just begun.
After the battle, Yang Qingyuan took a brief rest and immediately brought some elite troops composed of Cangyun Army and Youlongqi, and once again ran for thousands of miles, interspersed behind the main force of Tiance Army and Beigan who were confronting each other.
Yang Qingyuan and Li Chengen teamed up to achieve an unprecedented victory in Dazhou against Beigan.
Yang Qing launched an attack from behind the Beiqian army and set fire to the stables, causing the Beiqian rear army camp to be attacked by galloping horses and self-defeating.
The seven princes of Beigan died in the battle, and more than half of the main army and the auxiliary troops of the khanates were lost. The Great Zhou made countless gains and the battle line advanced nearly a hundred miles to the north.
Yang Qingyuan was granted the title of Marquis of Wuxiang for his meritorious service, and was appointed as the Chief Protector of the Yunzhong Protectorate of the Inspection School, and established the Yunzhong Protectorate of the Prefecture.
With this military exploit, he and Li Chengen are qualified to leave their names in history.
But this is still not Yang Qingyuan's peak performance.
The Battle of Jinyang was the highlight of this Zhuzi, a victory that was enough to carry Yang Qingyuan into the martial arts temple.
The invasion of Hou Jin Dynasty was actually planned by Du Yan. Zhao Xuanli, the commander-in-chief of the Longwu Army, marched to Yao'er Ridge and was ambushed by monk Wanyan Chen.
The Guards of Governor Zhao Xuanli were cut off from other troops, surrounded in the valley, and eventually died in battle.
Du Yan's move kicked off the Youzhou Revolution.
Even King Zhao was shocked by Du Yan's move, and was finally convinced by Du Yan.
Which of the so-called famous generals and heroes doesn't have white bones lying under their bodies?
Compassion does not control soldiers, this is the eternal truth.
King Zhao, who objected at the beginning, finally chose to acquiesce to this strategy.
But the subsequent development was beyond King Zhao's expectation.
Originally, the two of them wanted to take this opportunity to establish King Zhao's prestige in the hearts of the people in the world.
The Tiance Army in the north could not move without permission, the Longwu Army in Youzhou was completely wiped out, and most of the Imperial Forest Army in the capital was injured.
In this case, the court should have no choice.
But it's just that they should. Neither Yu Yanyi nor Yang Qingyuan are the kind of people who should.
Yu Yanyi first integrated the remaining defeated generals, plus Jingzhou Beicao Army and Chuzhou Beiman Army, and blocked Nurha's overwhelming offensive in Jinyang, and fought from behind the city, defeating the vanguard of his general Bietai. military.
Then, Yang Qingyuan arrived, and the operation that King Zhao couldn't understand really began.
In the Battle of Pinglu Valley, Yang Qingyuan faced Monk Wanyan Chen's army of nearly 300,000 with 30,000 dragon riders.
Even King Zhao didn't know how to defeat such a one to ten force ratio, but Monk Wanyan Chen, a famous general of Houjin, really lost.
According to what Hou Jin's remnants said, King Zhao had deduced it seven times on the sand table. No matter what method he used, it was impossible to defeat the Zhongxiao Army under Monk Wanyan Chen with the help of the 30,000 cavalry.
To this day, King Zhao is still wary of Yang Qingyuan, and the unknown is the scariest thing.
"If Yang Qingyuan and Li Chengen join forces, my chance of winning will not exceed 30% at most."
King Zhao insists on telling the truth and never bragging about things like rebellion.
"Li Chengen, I have already thought of a way to deal with him, and Yang Qingyuan, we should also choose to take action when he cannot react immediately."
"He is in Jinling now, isn't he far enough away?!"
"Amitabha, if the prince believes in me, Yang Qingyuan will go to the southwest border in the first half of the month."
King Zhao didn't know why, "Why is this?! It is related to our big plan, please let me know clearly."
"At this time in Jinling, the two great swordsmen in the world, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, are about to duel. I arranged it." Monk Du Yan told a secret that shocked the world.
"This Ye Gucheng's surname is not Ye, but Chen. It would be more appropriate to call him Chen Guye!"
A smart person like King Zhao can understand at once, "Descendants of Chen and Han?!"
When Beiqian moved southward, the world was in chaos, and heroes from all walks of life took advantage of the situation. Chen Han was the vassal force that separated one side from another, and was also one of Taizu's biggest enemies.
Finally, in Poyang Lake, as Emperor Chen Han said, the first battle would be the decisive battle, and the outcome would be decided in one battle.
A fire burned down Chen Han's buildings and boats in Poyang Lake, and also burned up Chen Han's ambitions.
After their descendants surrendered, they were moved to Goryeo by Emperor Taizu Gao.
"He knows our plan?!" King Zhao's first reaction was whether the matter would be leaked.
If more people know about such a big thing, the risk will increase.
"Don't worry, Prince, he doesn't even know about Lao Na's existence. Lao Na originally wanted to take advantage of this matter to temporarily leave Yang Qingyuan in Jinling. Although the time is not long, it is enough to create time for Prince. But God's will is in Zhao, and now there is A better opportunity.”
King Zhao frowned, "What do you mean?!"
"Have you ever heard of an evil sect, the Blood River Sect?!"
Faced with Du Yan's words, King Zhao shook his head in embarrassment. He knew a lot about Jianghu affairs, but he had never heard of this sect.
"This is a terrible evil sect. Before Emperor Taizu Gao became emperor, he once caused chaos in the southwest and had the potential to sweep the world. It was eventually destroyed by the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism. But now, this sect has appeared again, Yang Qingyuan As a direct descendant of the Taoist sect, the Wudang sect’s worldly journey will inevitably go to the southwest.”
Du Yan unfolded a map of the Great Zhou Dynasty, "Your Majesty, please see, this is the southwest border and the hiding place of the Blood River Sect. We, Shaolin, have responded to the Taoist sect's call to exterminate demons and sent experts to the southwest. People are in Jinling." Yang Qingyuan will definitely go there, and when he arrives in the southwest, it will be the opportunity we have been waiting for."
"When the time comes, first defeat Tiance, then defeat Longwu, and the military front will be directed towards the capital of God. Even though Yang Qingyuan is powerful, what can he do if he is stuck in the quagmire of Southwest Blood River Sect?!"
"Good!" King Zhao was also a little excited when he was told that it was great to be able to distract his biggest enemy without any effort!
"The master is actually my prince's son, Zhuge. Come, I'll give you tea instead of wine and give you a toast!"
King Zhao changed his suspicious attitude just now, and the anxiety in his heart gradually calmed down.
…
——
Jinling, the tenth day of October.
At this time, there were only five days left before the battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue.
But Ximen Chuixue still didn't show up in Jinling, and Ye Gucheng, who arrived early, also lost his trace.
There was a great uproar in Jinling City.
People in the martial arts community began to spread various theories.
For example, Ximen Chuixue was afraid of Ye Gucheng and did not dare to challenge him, so he did not show up for a long time.
Another example is that there is a treasure hidden in Ye Gucheng's Feihong Sword. The reason why Ye Gucheng disappeared was because he solved the mystery of the treasure.
But Yang Qingyuan just sits firmly in Jinling City and controls the overall situation.
Instead, Ye Jianhan, who was rushing back from Jiangyin with the coffin, met four people.
Four people who made his sword spirit boil.
When he was passing by a mountain in a carriage and carrying a coffin, four different sharp sword auras on the mountain caused Can Xue in the scabbard to let out a soft cry.
"Excuse me, wait for me here." Ye Jianhan got out of the carriage and said to the six-door policeman who was driving the carriage.
Before the young catcher could answer, Ye Jianhan's figure had already risen into the sky.
On this mountain peak, four people are facing each other from a distance, occupying four positions.
A young man in plain clothes stood in the south holding an ancient blue sword. This person's clothes are based on blue and white, with wristbands on his arms, a Chinese-style braided belt around his waist, and a dark blue cloak. His short hair is neatly styled, with a butterfly-shaped bun on the back of his head. . Although he is not very old, he already has the demeanor of a sword master.
Beifang is a gray-haired swordsman. He has a clean and white face with sharp edges and coldness. Under his long eyelashes, he has a pair of deep eyes. The color of his clothes is cool-toned classic black with golden decorations. His whole person exudes a kind of aura. "I'm very cold" temperament.
On the west side is an upright swordsman, dressed in white as snow, with indifferent but piercing eyes. Although he is dressed in white, the sword beside his waist is black, dark, long, and ancient, exuding a faint murderous aura. Then you will know that it is a powerful weapon in the world.
The last person has an ethereal temperament. He is like a flying fairy. He is also dressed in white and beats the snow. However, he is completely different from the person in white on the west side. He is dustless and unsullied, just like the blue sky and white clouds.
None of the four men's swords were unsheathed, but their sword energy kept colliding with each other.
"Disciple Zongheng?!"
The man with the sword spirit spoke with an ethereal tone in his voice.
The white-haired young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and the sharpness in his body became three points stronger. He slowly said, "There are not many people in the world with swordsmanship like yours. I should have heard of you. I haven’t even reported my name yet.”
He spoke with a fierce and domineering temperament, clearly expressing the arrogance of the young man.
"Xiao Zhuang, don't be rude!"
But the swordsman in blue and white attire immediately destroyed this temperament by saying "Xiao Zhuang".
"Guigu Sect, Gai Nie and his junior brother Wei Zhuang have met you two."
Gai Nie seems to be gentler than Wei Zhuang in attitude, but his sword energy is sharper than Wei Zhuang.
"Feixian Island, Ye Gucheng!"
"Wanmei Villa, Ximen Chuixue!"
Hearing these two names, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were not surprised. There are not many such pure swordsmen in the world at such an age, with such sharp sword energy.
The sword intent in Wei Zhuang's eyes was blazing, "I've heard about Master Ximen's name for a long time, so I asked for advice today!"
"Keng!"
There was a strange sword cry, and an even more strange sword appeared in front of Ximen Chuixue.
The domineering and evil sword energy swept across.
Gai Nie then set his sights on Ye Gucheng. The junior brother had already chosen his opponent, so let him learn from Ye City Lord, the world-famous flying immortal!
"Zongheng—Gane! Please!"
If you hadn't looked at the fiercer fighting spirit in his eyes, you would have thought that Genie would be gentler, but this was just an appearance.
Qingshuang unsheathed his sword, and his sword energy was sharper than Wei Zhuang's.
The vertical and horizontal swords, the horizontal swords attack the skills in order to gain advantage, which is called 捭; the vertical swords attack the situation, in order to achieve the truth, they are closed. The 捭昖 is the way of heaven and earth.
Wei Zhuang's horizontal sword pursues attack and sharpness. It is as wild as the wind, as fierce as a wave, powerful, murderous, fast as lightning, changeable, deadly, and does not give the opponent a chance to breathe.
Combined with the fact that the demon sword shark tooth itself is the nemesis of many famous swords, in addition to stabbing and teasing, there are also powerful cuts in the moves.
In a short period of time, Shark Teeth and Ximen Chuixue's Wu Sheath had clashed countless times.
The battle between Gai Nie and Ye Gucheng on the side was not as fierce as it seemed.
Longitudinal swordsmanship specializes in the sword's momentum and situation, and pursues the chance of a fatal blow in the sword's edge.
This kind of swordsmanship is somewhat similar to Ximen Chuixue's swordsmanship, but it is different.
Ximen Chuixue's swordsmanship is the simplest swordsmanship in the world. The swordsmanship moves are meaningless under Ximen Chuixue's sword; the meaning is to use the sword to defeat the enemy!
For any swordsman, this is a gluttonous feast, but no one can see it at this time.
Among the four, Wei Zhuang's sword power is slightly weaker. If his second uncle was an adult, he would not lose to Ximen Chuixue, but he is still a bit young now.
Seeing his sword moves being continuously dismantled by Ximen Chuixue, he felt impatient in his heart.
Since his debut, he has met many masters.
For example, Black and White Xuanjian was the ultimate swordsman who suppressed him and his senior brothers in all aspects.
For example, the Master of Yao Yue Palace of Yihua Palace uses sheer force to overwhelm others. The Nine Levels of Bright Moon Skill is simply not something that he and Gai Nie can resist.
I have never encountered anyone like Ximen Chuixue who constantly dismantles his swordsmanship.
Immediately, his moves changed, and the shark-tooth sword energy surged - across all directions!
This is one of the consecutive swords in the Zongheng Swordsmanship of the Guigu School. Although it seems to be only one move, four changes will occur at the moment it is issued. Each change is as fast as lightning and fleeting. .
Four completely different sword qi were changing, rushing toward Ximen Chuixue.
"What a sword!"
Even someone as aloof as Ximen Chuixue couldn't help but sigh in admiration when he saw this sword.
As expected of Zongheng Guigu, who has always been at the top of sword poetry, this kind of swordsmanship is really extraordinary.
The sword energy of the black sheath sword in his hand also became colder.
Just the simplest steps of cutting, lifting, and slashing, the flash of sword light actually dismantled this exquisite and flawless Guigu sword technique.
