"Father!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Yes, the extremely familiar voice coming from around them instantly made them understand who it was.
King of Northern Liang, Wei Jinfeng!
As soon as he appeared, the whole hall was a little excited.
It seems that with his presence, there is a backbone.
With him here, we can see the dawn of victory.
This is the prestige that Wei Jinfeng has maintained in Liangzhou for more than two hundred years. Of course, part of it is because of his strength.
The peak of Yangshen, fourth on the Heavenly Ranking.
He was the only one qualified to face those powerful barbarians. Without him, even if he could form a large formation, it would be absolutely impossible to resist Wanyan Tianba.
The void fluctuates and ripples appear.
A blood-stained golden armor appeared in front of everyone. Wei Jinfeng walked out of the void with calm eyes and slowly sat on the throne.
As he looked, everyone stood up quickly, bowed and said:
"See you, my lord!"
"See you, my lord!"
"I've met the prince."
"I've met the prince."
Voices sounded one after another.
Wei Jinfeng looked around, nodded slightly, and said softly:
"Qin Shou, show up."
"Beast?"
Chen Yuan squinted his eyes. He naturally knew who the name referred to. He was the commander of the Shuizi Battalion, one of the four camps of the Beiliang Army. However, he had disappeared without a trace after his body was destroyed in the battle yesterday.
Even though the Beiliang Army searched for it, they still couldn't find it.
Is it in the palace?
When everyone looked at each other curiously, a somewhat pale, unfamiliar middle-aged man outside, dressed in black armor and stomach, walked into the hall with calm eyes:
"Your Majesty."
"Uncle Qin, you..."
Wei Wuque was shocked on the spot.
You know, even if the soul can possess the spirit, it will take a long time to get used to it, but now it only takes a day to be able to move as usual.
Could it be?
Everyone's eyes were on Wei Jinfeng, as if they had guessed something.
As expected, after Qin Shou appeared, Wei Jinfeng said in a deep voice:
"The defeat of Jianmen Pass was part of my king's plan, and General Qin's physical body was destroyed as well. That's why I told you just now,
Beiliang, did not lose! "
"Father, why...why?" Wei Wuque's eyes were full of curiosity.
He couldn't understand why his father would do such a thing. Jianmen Pass was the barrier for the entire Liangzhou. If this pass was broken, it meant that one-fifth of Liangzhou's land would be given away to others.
This means that more than 100,000 Liangzhou people will die.
This means that the Northern Barbarian cavalry will gallop in Liangzhou.
Liangzhou City seems to be extremely tall and has thick walls, but it is invulnerable. Every city gate is covered by a flat river, which allows the Northern Barbarians' army to really expand its posture.
He was not the only one who was curious. All the people present here, except Zhou Bo and Chen Yuan, the leaders of Dizi Camp, were full of doubts.
A smile flashed across Zhou Bo's eyes, as if he had already anticipated the current situation, so he didn't say so many words just now.
Chen Yuan, on the other hand, had been doubtful for a long time, but now he is suddenly enlightened.
In his opinion, even if the Northern Barbarians' army was several times stronger than Liangzhou, how could Wei Jinfeng not be prepared at all after running Liangzhou for so many years?
Was it broken so easily?
It's really... weird.
Wei Jinfeng's eyes were calm and he said in a deep voice:
"The Northern Barbarians are so powerful that it is not wise to go head-to-head with them. Some losses must be incurred, and they can be washed away with the blood of the barbarians."
"Then the Fire Character Camp was also arranged by the father?"
Wei Wuque's eyes moved and he suddenly said.
When we were at Jianmen Pass, the news of the defeat of Huozi Camp had already come, and Yishui Pass was broken, but if everything was according to the father's arrangement.
That....
There seems to be a turning point.
"Yes, most of the elites of the Fire Character Battalion are still there at this moment, and they are in the midst of my king's planning."
By this time, Wei Jinfeng would naturally not hide anything anymore.
Otherwise, the morale of the Northern Liang Army, which had suffered a major defeat, would be difficult to recover.
Wei Wuque's mouth moved, but he suppressed the next words and sat down quietly.
"But after several times like this, Liangzhou's chances of winning seem to be very small." Liangzhou's governor said in a low voice.
The Battle of Jianmen Pass, coupled with the previous large and small battles, had already caused heavy losses to the Beiliang Army. Their combat strength, even with the addition of the Huozi Camp, was only over 100,000.
What can we do to resist the 700,000 Northern Barbarian cavalry?
The most important thing is that there are too few Huayang strong men in Liangzhou. After experiencing that battle, everyone was injured. How can they resist the Northern Barbarian strong men who come from the same source?
In the previous battle, more than ten people appeared!
"Next, the odds of winning will slowly come back."
After Wei Jinfeng finished speaking, he pointed out the words in the void one after another, as if they had condensed into a talisman. Then he waved his hand and instantly turned into a stream of light and flew out of the hall.
Then, Wei Jinfeng turned his gaze to Chen Yuan and said in a solemn voice: "Chen Yuan."
"What orders does the prince have?"
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, and unconsciously, he suddenly thought of what Wei Jinfeng had said before, saying that he was going to be given an important task. Now...maybe it's time.
"Want to be made a marquis?"
"What?"
Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly shrank, as if he didn't expect Wei Jinfeng to say this.
"I will give you an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. If this is successful, I will ask your Majesty for the title of marquis." Wei Jinfeng knew that Chen Yuan was a person who put interests first.
He is not originally from Liangzhou, so he naturally has no sense of belonging.
Benefits must be given to him.
"Your Majesty, you might as well say it first." Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment and said.
Of course he wanted to be granted a title.
This promotion does not mean status and official position, but also great power and fame.
If you want to act in the future, this identity will be very useful.
"I have found out where the barbarian food and supplies are stored. Now the task for you is to burn them all. If there is no food and grass, there will not be many barbarian cavalry left in the world."
Great Khans like Wanyan Tianba, as well as warriors from the upper three realms, were able to escape grain in a short time or even a long time, but they were still in the minority.
The truly huge ones are the low-level Northern Barbarian cavalry.
They cannot lack daily food!
And with half a million soldiers and horses eating horse chews, even if there are war horses that can resist for a while, they will not be able to hold on for long. As for the one-fifth of the territory that is given up.
Wei Jinfeng had already collected most of the food, and one-fifth of Liangzhou's territory was very large, empty and sparse. It was not an easy task for the barbarians to kill all the people.
Naturally, there was no food to be found.
"What?"
Hearing these words, the eyes of most people in the hall changed a bit at this moment, and seemed to be horrified.
They are not people who know nothing about the battlefield, so they naturally understand the importance of food and grass, but they know it, and the Northern Barbarians will also know it.
The places where grain and grass are stored are generally very tightly guarded.
Even a master of martial arts who is proficient in Tianji cannot calculate these things.
How did the King of Northern Liang know?
Chen Yuan frowned and did not agree immediately. He was just curious about why Wei Jinfeng asked him to perform the task. You know, in the final analysis, he is just a master of Dan Realm.
As for the Beiliang Army, there were many Huayang experts.
Weird, really weird.
Seemingly sensing Chen Yuan's scruples and doubts, Wei Jinfeng continued:
"The place where the barbarians' grain and grass are placed has been engraved with a void teleportation formation by me in advance. However, the void stone in my hand is too small to support warriors above Huayang to enter, otherwise it will be dangerous.
The warriors guarding the barbarian formation must be Huayang warriors, so there must be a master who can resist the entry of this level. Originally, I wanted to refine a magic talisman, but the enemy is currently unable to do anything. loss.
I understand your concerns. You are not the only one who is going this time. There are also eighteen secret guards that I have prepared for you. They will rush into the formation to the death.
Letting you go is just safer. "
Wei Jinfeng slowly told the story.
After hearing this, Chen Yuan became more curious and carved the void formation in advance?
After ruling out all possibilities, he suddenly paused.
Doesn't this mean that Wei Jinfeng has calculated in advance where the Northern Barbarian grain and grass will exist?
this....
This is truly the king of Northern Liang, Wei Jinfeng!
"What do you mean by the Eighteen Cavalry of Secret Guards that the prince is talking about?"
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Chen Yuan asked.
But the one who answered him was not Wei Jinfeng, but the commander of the Dark Word Camp who had always had a low presence and had not even spoken a word before. His voice was a little hoarse and he whispered:
"These are the eighteen secret guards refined by the prince using secret techniques. Although they are unconscious, each of them has the cultivation level of the real elixir realm, and their combat prowess is even more impressive.
If a large formation is formed, even the real Yuanshen can fight. "
Chen Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
It turned out that Wei Jinfeng had such a back-up plan, but he had never heard of it.
Just when he was hesitating, Wei Jinfeng spoke again:
"This matter is somewhat dangerous, but now no one in Liangzhou City has such strength except you. I know your concerns. Apart from the matter of becoming a marquis,
How about I owe you another favor? "
He looked at Chen Yuan with some solemn eyes and said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as the Northern Barbarians have food and grass, we will do our best!" Chen Yuan immediately stood up and said.
He also knew in his heart that this had almost reached Wei Jinfeng's limit. If he still didn't agree, he would probably use military orders to suppress him.
Besides, Chen Yuan really doesn't suffer.
In addition to the title of marquis, Wei Jinfeng also owed him a favor, which was no small condition. Not everyone could owe the favor of the dignified King of Beiliang.
Sure enough, when Wei Jinfeng said that he owed Chen Yuan a favor, everyone present looked at Chen Yuan and Wei Jinfeng in shock.
Don't understand why he said that.
With military orders to suppress him, would Chen Yuan still dare to refuse?
This is naturally the difference between Wei Jinfeng and them. He knows Chen Yuan's identity and secrets well, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems.
During the previous battle at Jianmen Pass, Wanyan Tianba had wanted to sneak attack Chen Yuan, but at that time he could see that Chen Yuan did not show any signs of panic.
There must be some back-up plan.
With a backhand that can withstand the attack of the powerful True Lord, wouldn't it be a sure bet to attack the Northern Barbarians' grain and grass this time?
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter entirely to you."
Wei Jinfeng nodded, and then turned his attention to Liangzhou Prefect and General Dingbei:
"This matter is of great importance and must not be leaked."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely..."
Liangzhou Zhou Mu just wanted to express his position.
Wei Jinfeng's voice came again:
"Well, you two understand that you need it, so I'll trouble you to stay at the palace for a few days."
"Uh...that's...yes, I will obey your orders."
"I will obey my orders."
Although they knew that this was house arrest, they still did not dare to say anything. If Wei Jinfeng convicted them of a serious crime, they would be killed first and then punished. Even the court would not say anything at this critical moment.
"Well, take the two adults down and take care of them."
As soon as Wei Jinfeng gave the order, the guards waiting outside immediately obeyed and took the two of them away.
Seeing that Wei Jinfeng seemed to have something else to say, Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, stood up and said:
"Then I will also stay at the palace for two days."
"Okay, no problem, Chen Jinshi, you can take him to the backyard." Seeing Chen Yuan's interest, Wei Jinfeng nodded with great satisfaction and ordered.
"My child obeys."
Wei Jinfeng stood up, looked at Chen Yuan and smiled:
"Brother Chen, please."
"please."
After Chen Yuan and others had completely left, Zhou Bo, the leader of the Dizi camp who had been holding back his words before, opened his mouth and said:
"My lord, is it a bit risky to hand over such an important task to Chen Yuan?"
He admitted that Chen Yuan did have some strength, but the Northern Barbarian grain and grass was something Wei Jinfeng had been planning for a long time. If something went wrong, there might be accidents later.
It's not that he doesn't believe Chen Yuan, but he feels that there are other masters in the Beiliang Army and there is no need to find an 'outsider'.
"Yes, my lord."
The commander of Fengzi Camp also spoke in agreement.
"Since this matter has been decided, there is no need to say anything more. Leave it to Chen Yuan. I can rest assured." Wei Jinfeng said in a deep voice.
The other people looked at each other in confusion, wondering why the prince looked at Chen Yuan so differently, but now that the matter was over, they didn't say anything more, they just said:
"Your Majesty, the reinforcements from the imperial court have gone to Youzhou. They want to completely destroy the power of the Beiliang Army. I'm afraid it's not enough for us alone, right?"
Even though the Northern Barbarians' food and grass were destroyed, the hundreds of thousands of troops did not die. With less than 200,000 elite soldiers and a few of them, the final result seemed to be unchanged.
"I have never expected the imperial court to be able to hold back Youzhou's 200,000 Northern Barbarian cavalry, which is enough." Wei Jinfeng said with a cold light in his eyes.
The Sima family cannot be trusted. This was something he had realized a long time ago.
Naturally, the safety of tens of millions of people in Liangzhou would not be placed on the imperial court.
"That...."
"When the time comes, you will understand. Now you only need to follow my king's military orders." Wei Jinfeng's aura suddenly changed and he said.
"Please give the order, Your Majesty!"
"Please give the order, Your Majesty!"
"This time Chen Yuan raids the Northern Barbarian grain and grass. I will be stationed in Liangzhou to prevent accidents. Huo Ziying..." Wei Jinfeng began to order one after another.
The eyes of the people below suddenly lit up.
Then they all bowed and said:
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
Wei Jinfeng hummed, waved his hand, and four pills exuding rich spiritual energy were suspended in front of several people:
"This is prepared for you. Recover your injuries first before you can kill the enemy better."
Several people were not polite, each grabbed the elixir and said in unison:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Okay, let's get down!"
"I will retire at the end."
"I will retire at the end."
...
...
After a day of fermentation, the news that Jianmen Pass had been breached had even spread outside Liangzhou. The shock it caused was gradually increasing, and it also made many people in Liangzhou feel desperate.
At this time, Wei Jinfeng stood up and called on the people of Liangzhou to fight against the Northern Barbarians and defend Liangzhou.
With his advance preparations, Liangzhou City and even the entire territory of Liangzhou were mobilized. Men of suitable age joined the army one after another to make up for the losses. There were also many martial arts warriors who decided to fight the barbarian with the spirit in their hearts. .
Wei Jinfeng's back-up plan worked, and Liangzhou's morale was gradually rising.
In addition, his previous preparations also greatly helped. The Beiliang army expanded by tens of thousands in one day, although these were only new recruits and their combat power was very weak.
But there are still many masters in it.
Even a top sect in Liangzhou decided to obey the edict, and the entire sect, from the Huayang powerhouse to the foundation-building disciples, joined the newly formed Barbarian Army.
At the same time, the Northern Barbarians were not idle either. After breaking through the Jianmen Pass, they followed the order of the Great Khan Wanyan Tianba and wanted to sweep the entire surrounding area.
To his surprise, he discovered that there were very few people in nearby Liangzhou, and most of them were old-fashioned people who were about to die. Some even used crutches to kill the barbarians.
It's a pity that he still ended up dead.
Some barbarians were so angry that they ordered the heads of all the people in the Central Plains to be cut off and made into a Jingguan, which shocked Liangzhou.
But the more this happens, the more angry the people of Liangzhou become.
In just a few days, the Northern Barbarian army advanced a long distance and had several battles with the Northern Liang Army, but because the distance was too far.
The supply of food and grass for the Northern Barbarian cavalry is particularly important.
With the strong walls and clear fields, they could not get much food and grass supplies at all.
And once the battle line is lengthened, it will be more advantageous for the Liangzhou side.
This was also one of Wei Jinfeng's first plans.
Gradually eat away at the wings and claws of the Northern Barbarian army.
Another annihilation.
A battle will determine the outcome!
On this day, the sky was getting dark, and Chen Yuan, who had been practicing in Beiliang Prince's Mansion for several days, was summoned to the main hall by Wei Jinfeng's decree.
He understood that the time to take action was coming!
As soon as he entered, Chen Yuan felt the smell of blood coming out. He glanced around and saw eighteen figures in black robes standing aside.
Like a wooden man, there is neither movement nor cultivation breath coming out.
Eighteen hidden guards!
Although, they don't seem to have war horses now.
Wei Jinfeng's eyes were extremely bright. Standing next to him, Wei Wuque was also looking at Chen Yuan with a solemn face. The atmosphere was a bit quiet.
"Your Majesty."
Chen Yuan slightly arched his hands.
"Tonight is the time to take action. I will sit here to guard against the enemy's attack. I will leave the food and grass to you." Wei Jinfeng looked at him calmly and said.
Chen Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, tonight... we will defeat the Northern Barbarians."
"Tonight is also the foundation of your title!"
