The sun sets over the west mountain, and on a gloomy snowy night, the vision becomes even more blurred, and it is impossible to see anything clearly even three feet away.
The tents of the 50,000 to 60,000-strong army stretch for several miles, with teams of hundreds of soldiers on duty patrolling back and forth. The dark horses in the horse pens in the distance cannot be seen at the end. Hundreds of elite scouts spread out further away, braving the cold wind, Staring in all directions alertly.
This place is less than twenty miles away from the Tianmen Valley of the Yuchi family of the 200-year-old Yuan family.
At this moment, the handsome tent in the middle was as warm as spring, with eight red stoves emitting twisted heat.
After being released from confinement, Jiang Gu'en, Yuchi Jun, Tuoba Kedi, Lin Haotian, Zhe Tengkun and others sat cross-legged on thick fur blankets with Han Qiniang, Cui Ying'er, Xiong Zhang and Sai Qingzhu, looking at the handsome man all the time. Bit.
Xin Zhuo was holding a bamboo slip and reading it carefully.
The above is a general description of the forbidden areas of the "Disconnected Tianmen" that were explored and sorted out by the masters of scouts in the army and the masters of Confucianism and martial arts.
The Six Families are a deformed military family that gradually developed after the powerful generals of the border towns settled down in the 300 years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They have sent general talents to the Great Zhou Dynasty for generations. As die-hard loyalists of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they also serve as As a bridgehead against the countries in the Western Regions, the family's private soldiers were extremely powerful, and the court relatively acquiesced.
In this respect, the six families are the families of loyal ministers and good generals of the imperial court.
It's just that since the Jiang family took control of the Western Regions, there were many people in the court and Jiang family's children in the army, and talents emerged in large numbers, so the status of the six families became a bit embarrassing. However, every few years, the Jiang family would transfer a group of generals from the six major families to serve as donkeys.
The key point is that the ancient land of Western Qin slowly developed into the private land of the Jiang family. The six families turned to the imperial court in their hearts, but were tightly controlled by the Jiang family. They were gradually isolated from the imperial court, and their mentality gradually became strangely contradictory and distorted.
This is also the main reason why six families surrendered to the Western Regions after the attack of the Thirteen-Nation Alliance.
The "Breaking Tianmen" forbidden area is said to be the huge ravine left by the ancient warriors of the 18th level when fighting with others. It contains the ultimate ancient charm of martial arts and is even beneficial to the warriors of the Venerable level. Every ten years or so, the six families will work together to open the ban for their children to enter the training. At that time, they will also invite masters from all over the world, which shows that they are aboveboard.
Xin Zhuo has studied such clichéd things as forbidden areas during this period. They are basically traces left by ancient warriors. Regardless of whether this kind of existence is strange or not, it is indeed very helpful in sharpening martial arts.
It is said that as the legendary heyday of martial arts is getting closer and closer, more and more warriors are preparing to give up their martial arts and rebuild the ancient martial arts to prepare for the future. These forbidden areas are particularly important.
Xin Zhuo originally just wanted to defeat the six families, integrate the perfect soul sacrifice, and break through the realm. Now he feels that it is also a good choice to try in the "Disconnected Tianmen".
Of course, with his current status and power, it is obviously very difficult for him to enter like a normal warrior. He must first defeat the six major families, or both at the same time.
Putting down the bamboo slips and looking at everyone in the tent, he said, "The situation of the six families is unclear and their attitudes are difficult to guess. What do you think we should do?"
This was mainly said to Yuchi Jun, Zhe Tengkun, Lin Haotian and others. As children of the six great families, and their influence was deeply entangled in the Western Qin army, their attitudes were particularly important.
"Perhaps it was delayed by the disconnection of the Tianmen, and I did not welcome the Grand Governor in person. Grand Governor, please rest assured that the general can go to reprimand and persuade!"
Tong Tengkun and Lin Haotian clasped their fists at the same time, with decisive attitudes. They were professional soldier leaders and rough men, and they didn't have too many tricks.
Only Yuchi Jun showed hesitation, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "The general has been in the Western Qin army for many years. Naturally, his heart is towards the prince and the Jiang family, and his loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon. But... there are some things that the general will not say out loud." , please forgive me, the Governor!"
"But it doesn't matter!"
Xin Zhuo waved his sleeves and made a listening gesture.
Yuchi Jun said: "When the Western Region Allied Forces made a surprise attack, it was really difficult for the six families to withstand the millions of troops from the Western Regions, and the Western Qin Army was overwhelmed and unable to provide help, so they surrendered.
The Six Families had been loyal to the Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, but once they became traitors, their reputations were somewhat unjustifiable. Moreover, they did not know what the Grand Governor was thinking, which may be the reason why they did not come to greet him.
The general can go there to persuade, but he needs an explanation from the Grand Governor..."
Xin Zhuo smiled: "What do you want to say?"
Mr. Yuchi clasped his fists and said: "First of all, let go of their betrayal, then express condolences and show understanding for their behavior, and then..."
He glanced at Xin Zhuo: "If the Governor wants to completely conquer the six families, it is best to choose marriage to comfort their hearts!"
"Marriage?" Xin Zhuo asked in surprise: "Who is marrying whom?"
Yuchi Jun smiled bitterly: "Of course the governor will marry a daughter of the six families as a concubine or equal wife."
Xin Zhuo remained silent.
The usual method used by these famous families is to get married to strengthen their connection and cohesion. However, it is a bit embarrassing to get married every now and then.
Having said that, even if it is a marriage, what benefits can it bring to me? What benefits will it bring to my Western Qin Army and my martial arts realm?
Looking at Yuchi Jun's expectant eyes, he was silent for a moment, and then waved his hand: "Go ahead, as long as the six families accept Natu's surrender, I will comply with any requests you have! But I have to add one more thing, telling them that the emperor's thoughts are It is difficult for the Jiang family to completely defeat the warlords of the Western Regions, and it is equally difficult for them. If they are willing to follow the Jiang family to fight, or wait to be killed, let them weigh it themselves!"
"The last general takes orders."
Yuchi Jun, Lin Haotian and others felt happy and walked out of the tent with fists clasped in their hands. The sound of distant horse hooves soon came from outside.
It was getting late, Jiang Guyen and other generals and Cui Ying'er and others left one after another. Only Sai Qingzhu was left on duty today to serve the county prince.
Sai Qingzhu took off Xin Zhuo's shoes and socks, knelt down and sat aside, with a trace of doubt on his charming face: "If the six families have the intention of surrender, I'm afraid they will have sent them after the king of the county has completely wiped out the Western Region Allied Forces and conquered the Ten Kingdoms." People came to communicate and test, and at this time, 50,000 cavalry had arrived at the door of the house, but there was still no movement, and there was probably something wrong."
Xin Zhuo held up her chin and asked, "What else?"
Sai Qingzhu clicked his chin: "Well... no more."
Xin Zhuo sneered and said: "Not only do I know that they have no intention of surrender, but I also know that they have most likely set a trap and are preparing to kill me here!"
"Prince!" Sai Qingzhu's face was full of horror.
Xin Zhuo lay down and said, "Although Murong Xiu and Bai Jianxi were born bandits, they still have some intelligence and skill. They sent out hundreds of spies who were astute and well-disguised, and discovered that the people from Baiheqiu had entered. He traveled three thousand miles to the horse plain and then disappeared."
"The people from Baiheqiu went to the Six Families?"
Sai Qingzhu hesitated for a moment: "But, what does this mean? Maybe they participated in breaking the Tianmen. Why did the prince say that they set up a trap to kill..."
Xin Zhuo said: "As you said, our Western Qin Army has conquered a huge territory and has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. If the six families want to rebel against me, it is like mantis trying to defeat me, but they have never sent anyone to find out my intentions. , this is very abnormal!
It may be a coincidence that someone came to Baiheqiu at this time, but it would be a bit surprising if my enemy Mr. Dongfang returned to Baiheqiu.
Judging from the two phases, there is no other logic to be found except killing me! "
