The next day.
It wasn't until early morning that the restlessness at Jianmen Pass gradually subsided.
But Chen Yuan still saw orders being issued from the door, news coming from outside the gate, and a dignified aura gradually rising.
In the main hall.
The king of Northern Liang, Wei Jinfeng, was wearing a golden battle armor. He was sitting at the top with a big horse and a golden sword. The prince Wei Wuque was standing by and waiting, and Chen Yuan was sitting under his left head.
Logically speaking, Chen Yuan is not qualified to sit on the left with his strength.
Because since ancient times, left is the most important thing.
In the current main hall, there are still four generals of the Beiliang Army who have Huayang cultivation level, but they are all sitting under Chen Yuan.
This is the order of the King of Northern Liang, and naturally no one dares to disobey it.
Chen Yuan himself was a little confused. He just listened to the Northern Liang King's military orders with calm eyes, but he was a little wary in his heart. After all, there must be a monster when something goes wrong.
There were only a few of them sitting in the main hall, which seemed a bit empty at first glance.
As far as Chen Yuan knew, the entire Beiliang Army was divided into four camps.
That is, earth, water, wind, and fire.
Among these four camps, further distribution...
Nowadays, the few people in the main hall are the chief generals of the four major camps: earth, water, wind... and the fire camp is not among them. As for the other person, he is the chief general of the secret guard camp.
It can be said that the people sitting here are all the leaders of the Beiliang Army. He is an official of the Tianxian Division, and he is indeed a bit uncoordinated.
"How's the situation?"
Wei Jinfeng asked calmly.
From the first time Chen Yuan saw Wei Jinfeng, he had behaved like this, motionless as a mountain.
"Your Majesty, the latest information is that the Northern Barbarian Army has entered the territory of Liangzhou. In one night, six pass villages were wiped out. A total of ten thousand people were defeated, dead and injured..."
The secret guard general opened his mouth to report.
"continue."
"Well... the barbarians have divided their forces."
"How much was divided?"
"There were almost 200,000 of them. When they were approaching the border of Liangzhou, they turned around. I guessed they were going to Youzhou."
"Um."
"Your Majesty." General Shanziying cupped his hands and said:
"Isn't it a bit risky for Huo Ziying to guard Yishui Pass?"
"I have made my own decision on this matter. All you need to know is that Huo Ziying will not enter Jianmen Pass. Whether you can hold it or not depends entirely on your three camps."
Wei Jinfeng raised his hand to stop him from continuing to ask questions.
"Yes, I understand."
"Those gates scattered outside cannot stop the barbarians. Please pass on my latest military order. After resisting for an hour, you can retreat on your own and retreat into Jianmen Pass."
"But if that's the case, then... isn't the territory given up a bit too much?" Wei Wuque said hesitantly at the side.
In the past, the way to resist the Northern Barbarians' attack on the pass was to rely on one pass after another across the border. Although the number of people was not large, the large formations could still defeat the barbarians.
With resistance step by step, Liangzhou has not suffered much damage at least in recent decades.
"The troops are too scattered and cannot stop the northern barbarian army. This time it is not tens of thousands of barbarians, but hundreds of thousands of barbarians. Even if the troops are divided, the number is too huge. Only a few important towns need to be defended, and it will be enough to defeat the enemy. No resistance."
"Father, do you want to resist at Jianmen Pass?"
"I have my own plans."
Wei Jinfeng said in a deep voice.
"yes."
Wei Jinfeng looked around and continued:
"The Fengzi Battalion has divided into three groups of 10,000-strong cavalry. They do not guard the town and randomly raid the border. If they encounter a small number of barbarian vanguards, they can attack directly. If they encounter a large army, they will retreat immediately."
"Yes, I will obey your orders!"
General Feng Ziying said quickly.
Each large camp of the Beiliang Army has its own habits. For example, their Fengzi camp has a character that is as fast as the wind. The war horses in the army are all extremely fast alien species.
He has gone deep into the edge of the grassland many times to raid.
What stands out about the Huozi camp is that it is as fierce as fire and its combat power is superior to the four other camps. It is the most powerful camp and the only one that can defend an important town.
What stands out about Shanziying is that it is as stable as a mountain, has the best equipment among the four major battalions, is second only to Huoziying in terms of combat power, and is the best at defending the city.
The most outstanding thing about Shuiziying is that it is as soft as water and the most difficult to deal with. It is the last of the four major camps in terms of combat power, but it is the most tenacious.
Each battalion has more than 50,000 cavalry, and the numbers are not equal.
"Your Majesty, when will the support from the imperial court arrive?" General Shuiziying asked.
As soon as he spoke, the other generals in the hall turned their attention to King Beiliang.
Their camp at Jianmen Pass was not in its prime.
Their three major camps all have troops outside, and now the entire Jianmen Pass is full of only 150,000 elite soldiers plus tens of thousands of ordinary troops.
But no matter how you calculate it, there is only less than 200,000.
Where is the barbarian?
Even excluding the 200,000 divided troops, there are still 500,000 elite cavalry, plus those martial arts experts, the strength is not equal at all.
The most important thing is that there is only one Yang Shen True Lord in the entire Jianmen Pass, King Beiliang.
There are at least three on the Beiman side.
Therefore, we must count on reinforcements from the imperial court.
There is no need to count on Youzhou. They will not divide their troops there. It is estimated that the prince will not strictly order support there. After all, he is looking at the overall situation.
If the barbarians attack Youzhou, the situation here will basically be irreversible.
Wei Jinfeng calmed down and said:
"Your Majesty has sent a decree to mobilize 300,000 elite troops from the capital and Bingzhou, led by the Grand Marshal Shenwu Zhenjun to rush to the border to reinforce the border."
After hearing this, those few people breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be nice to have reinforcements, they are most afraid of fighting alone.
not worth! Really not worth it!
"In addition to this decree, the capital also issued a new decree overnight." When Wei Jinfeng said this, he slowly turned his eyes to Chen Yuan.
The profound look in his eyes immediately stunned Chen Yuan.
Could it have something to do with him?
"What's the purpose?"
Several people looked at each other and General Shanziying asked.
"Your Majesty wants to transfer Chen Yuan back to the capital, and he has other important responsibilities."
Hearing these words, the faces of the generals suddenly looked a little ugly. They glanced at Chen Yuan with complicated expressions, including disdain, disdain, and indifference.
The Northern Barbarians knocked on the pass, but issued an order overnight to transfer Chen Yuan away.
If you think about it, you will know what this means, and once word spreads, it will definitely damage the morale, especially those in the Tianxian Division.
Chen Yuan had made a grand statement before, saying that we would go to the national disaster together and fight against the Northern Barbarians, but in the end, he was transferred away in the blink of an eye. Who could not think too much about it?
Even the crown prince Wei Wuque frowned, but didn't say much.
Wei Jinfeng took in the expressions of several people, and then turned to Chen Yuan, as if he wanted to see something from his face, but unfortunately, Chen Yuan remained indifferent.
Slowly said:
"Chen Jinshi, what do you think, do you intend to be transferred back to the capital to serve?"
Chen Yuan squinted his eyes and had a lot of calculations in his mind. Especially when he looked at Wei Jinfeng's calm eyes, he suddenly thought about it and said in a deep voice:
"The Northern Barbarians are currently facing a formidable enemy. If Chen returns to Beijing, the impact will be too great. Please ask the prince to reject it on your behalf."
"oh?"
Wei Jinfeng looked at him with interest.
The other eyes in the hall also focused on him, seeming to be searching for something again.
Chen Yuan stood up and said in a righteous voice:
"Although Yuan is only seven feet tall, he is still willing to use his insignificant power to fight against the Northern Barbarians. Hundreds of years of blood feud have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains.
How can we back down at this critical moment? "
"No matter what others think, Chen will never leave Liangzhou. He is a hero in life and a hero in death. He is a mere barbarian. What should he fear?"
"You will be a hero in life, and you will be a hero in death..."
The two five-character poems that Chen Yuan opened his mouth immediately changed the atmosphere in the hall, and several generals in the Beiliang Army regained their previous contemptuous expressions.
Even a little ashamed.
It is they who cross the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart.
When he looked up again, there was already some recognition in his eyes.
Even when Chen Yuan stood there, his body seemed to be glowing.
"Okay, I know what you mean. Yes, your reputation as the number one genius in the Central Plains is not in vain." Wei Jinfeng nodded appreciatively, then his face condensed and he ordered:
"Pass this king's military order to the whole territory of Liangzhou..."
After everyone left, only Wei Jinfeng and Wei Wuque, father and son, were left in the entire hall. After a moment of silence, Wei Wuque broke the silence:
"If Chen Yuan chooses to leave, what will my father do?"
Wei Jinfeng replied in a concentrated voice:
"In Liangzhou, I am the king. If Jingtai's edict is useful, listen to it. If it is not, it is just a piece of waste paper. Chen Yuan is still useful to me, so naturally I cannot let him leave.
Moreover, he himself didn't seem to want to leave. "
"Yes, he is courageous."
Wei Jinfeng had one more thing to say in his heart.
What I am saying is that Chen Yuan is worthy of being the son of the Xiang family!
In the eight hundred years since the founding of the Chu Kingdom, there were some fatuous monarchs, some weak monarchs, and some monarchs who died young. The only monarch who never surrendered was the only monarch who never surrendered. Even in the last years of the dynasty, Emperor Ling of Chu, who was known as the fatuous monarch, never surrendered the country. .
Lead the power of the dynasty and fight to the last soldier.
Wei Jinfeng still admired this.
Wei Wuque suddenly realized, he just said that with his father's character, those words he asked in the hall today must have deep meaning, and he couldn't really want Chen Yuan to leave.
However, what Chen Yuan said today was indeed courageous.
After all, no matter what, the opponent did not back down, but chose to fight the barbarian.
"Today, you will spread what Chen Yuan said throughout Jianmen Pass and even the entire territory of Liangzhou. If anyone pleads for mercy, you will immediately kill them without mercy. They come to Liangzhou to gain military glory. If they are in danger, run away. Liangzhou. ...Not that cheap.”
"My child understands."
"Father, my child has one more thing to do." Wei Wuque changed his tone and continued.
"explain."
"The court may not be trustworthy, so father must be cautious." Wei Wuque said solemnly.
"Of course I know about this. I have almost figured out the temperament of the Sima family over the years. Reinforcements... haha... I am afraid that I will not come forward to clean up the situation until the Beiliang army is mostly destroyed."
"Then you..."
"Stabilize the morale of the army. The disparity in strength between Liangzhou and Beiman is too great. If the morale of the army is unstable, it will be difficult to win."
"My child understands."
"As a father, I have my own plans. No matter what, I will never let the Northern Barbarians capture Liangzhou. I can pay any price." Wei Jinfeng's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
"The child will go back to the camp immediately."
Wei Wuque immediately expressed his stance.
"Go ahead. If you don't go through hard work, you won't be able to make use of it. The Northern Liang Army will eventually be handed over to you, but first you have to make everyone obey you."
"yes."
"Also, maintain a good relationship with Chen Yuan. This guy is not easy. Beiliang may borrow his strength in the future."
"My child understands."
After Wei Wuque left, Wei Jinfeng's eyes gradually softened, and then he let out a sigh of relief. He took out a simple and mysterious talisman from his sleeve and stared at it for a long time.
...
...
After leaving the Jianmen Guanwang Palace, Chen Yuan received Wei Jinfeng's military order and began to prepare for the upcoming battle, and he couldn't help but feel excited about it.
Riding on the battlefield and killing with iron blood is every man's dream.
Chen Yuan is no exception.
He likes the scene of raising his arms and having thousands of people worship him.
and have been working hard in this direction.
In the next few days, the battle between Beiliang and Beiman officially began. It was not as simple as Chen Yuan had originally imagined. It was not as simple as the direct confrontation between the two armies. It started when the beacon smoke was lit that night.
The Northern Barbarians have been sending small groups of cavalry to attack the city and burn down the farmland.
All creatures seen were killed.
The Northern Liang Army also tried their best to resist, constantly killing the small groups of cavalry sent by the Ancient Jin Royal Court. In just a few days, they fought more than a hundred times.
The frequency is not too high.
However, these efforts seemed to be in vain. The Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry was still advancing towards the Jianmen Pass at a steady and determined speed.
Every day, various remnant soldiers and defeated generals retreated into Jianmen Pass.
The defeat of the Northern Liang army has become apparent.
The more this happened, the more people in Jianmen Pass became panicked. Most of the Beiliang army was relatively stable, but the remaining conscripted soldiers and the government troops in Fucheng and Zhoucheng below were somewhat insufficient.
In addition to the high fighting spirit at the beginning, the morale was declining even more almost every day.
And as more and more people were killed, the atmosphere became even higher.
But Wei Jinfeng didn't care at all, as if he couldn't see it. He calmly issued various military orders every day, and even Chen Yuan was sent out to perform a mission.
That time, Chen Yuan led a thousand and five patrol guards to face three thousand barbarian vanguards.
Of course, Chen Yuan didn't move at all. These people were not enough for him to kill himself, so he just let the people below face the barbarian's methods.
At the cost of 120 deaths and 370 injuries, 1,500 elite patrol guards completely slaughtered 3,000 barbarian vanguards and built a Beijing temple according to Chen Yuan's instructions!
This was the first recorded military achievement, but when he returned, he found that many people looked at him differently.
Full of admiring glances.
After understanding it, Chen Yuan understood.
It turned out that those words that Chen Yuan spoke passionately and passionately in the main hall that day were spread. The words "Be a hero in life and be a hero in death" began to spread crazily in Jianmen Pass.
Everyone knew that Chen Yuan had the opportunity to leave, and the emperor personally summoned him to return to the capital, but he refused without hesitation.
He even took on the charge of resisting the imperial edict, just to fight against the Northern Barbarians.
How courageous?
How loyal?
Who wouldn’t admire this story after hearing it?
But Chen Yuan just smiled. He was not stupid. Wei Jinfeng had said before that an important task would be entrusted to him. How could he let him go?
Furthermore, once you leave, the reputation you have accumulated will be gone.
Anyway, Senior Moro is around, and his life is not in danger here. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to gain military glory and pave the way for the future?
Also, he was still thinking, wouldn't such a big event happen to the fateful son of the barbarian tribe?
How could such a good thing leave?
So he wisely chose to deal with it head on that day.
But beyond his expectation, the influence became bigger and bigger. Even without him pushing it, it spread throughout Liangzhou and spread towards the Central Plains.
Chen Qing took his reputation to the next level!
But the deep-seated reasons hidden inside had to make him think deeply.
Is it really just a simple tribute?
He didn't think so.
It must have been promoted by someone if it spread throughout Liangzhou in just a few days.
And the identity of this person is about to come out.
King of Northern Liang, Wei Jinfeng!
Apart from him, there is no other person in Beiliang who has such ability.
His purpose is unknown, but Chen Yuan can guess a little bit, and part of it should be to tie him down and use his reputation to tie him down.
but....
In such a huge battle, what's the use of being a Dan realm master?
Does he know the nickname Shura Demon Lord?
This had to make Chen Yuan think deeply.
But no matter how I think about it, I still can’t figure out why he can see through it?
What he didn't know was that the reason why Wei Jinfeng did this was to use him as a typical figure to boost the morale of the army. After all, he was young, talented and had unlimited possibilities in the future.
At the same time, he is very famous.
Such people gave up returning to the safe capital and chose to fight the Northern Barbarians. Why would those with connections want to leave?
In terms of talent, age, and reputation, which one of you can compare to the famous Demon Sword Chen Yuan, the number one genius in the Central Plains?
As for the background.
Whose background is greater than that of the King of Northern Liang?
In addition to this aspect, another aspect is that Wei Jinfeng wants to use Chen Yuan to fish out Xiang Qianqiu and use some of his strength.
After all, Chen Yuan is his only son, and this son is also an extremely talented heir. No one else would be able to give up such a heir's bloodline.
Also, he always felt that Chen Yuan was the most important chess piece when Xiang Qianqiu wanted to do something big.
Regardless of bloodline, even if we only talk about chess pieces, can Xiang Qianqiu easily give up this chess piece that has gradually grown up?
These are Wei Jinfeng's thoughts.
As for the vest that Chen Yuan was thinking about, the 'Asura Demon Lord', he had no idea at all. He didn't have any extraordinary ability to see through the arrangements of a Sixth Realm Immortal.
Even though this immortal is severely disabled, he is still an immortal.
The immortal who has attained the Tao!
Chen Yuan's reputation became more and more popular, and the Northern Barbarians' attacks became more and more crazy. Several important towns left by Wei Jinfeng were being attacked fiercely every day.
If it weren't for relying on the large formation, if it weren't for the real strong men of the Northern Barbarians to come forward, these important towns would have been broken.
Just as the Northern Barbarians were gradually advancing, another piece of news came out, which made the people of Liangzhou panic and even despair.
The two hundred thousand soldiers of the Northern Barbarians were not ordinary servants, but real elite cavalry. Under the leadership of the divine general Wan Yanshu, they stormed the border of Youzhou.
So far, Youzhou border has been breached.
Nearly one-fifth of the territory has been invaded.
Liangyou border is in emergency!
