Xu Fengnian asked Xu Yanbing beside him: "Uncle Xu, what do you mean by being invincible?"
Facing Xu Fengnian's question, Xu Yanbing said slowly word by word without thinking: "My lord, you are invincible in the world!"
Seeing the two people from Beiliang acting calm and calm, Lu Dantian felt a strange feeling in his heart as he was left aside.
Even though he has hatred for the Xu family's cavalry, his heroic spirit that regards the world as nothing makes people fascinated.
Xu Fengnian ignored the mixed feelings of the master of swordsmanship in Xichu and flicked his fingers on the rosewood sword box.
Just hearing a sword cry, the sword box opened by itself, and the Daliang dragon bird turned into a purple light and flew into the sky.
A magnificent sword that could almost connect heaven and earth fell from the sky.
The sword fell, aiming directly at Lu Xiangsheng's army camp.
The giant sword slashed through the clouds and pierced the sky, making bursts of roaring noises.
A huge gap was opened in the originally dense camp, and countless soldiers were crushed to pulp under the pressure of the sword.
A huge sword mark penetrated the entire camp, and Lu Xiangsheng's tribe was thrown into chaos.
With just one sword shot, Daliang Longque fell back into the sword box and closed the lid of the red sandalwood box.
Xu Fengnian calmly ordered Xu Yanbing, "Tell Li Yanchao to attack."
"Yes!" Xu Yanbing went down to deliver the order.
Xu Fengnian's sword shocked the world and Lu Dantian.
The old man then gave a bitter smile and looked down at the long sword that had been hanging for forty years. "Old man, I'm sorry."
The dejected Lu Dantian also left the station after Xu Fengnian.
As the old man walked away, a thought came to his mind that it was time to really leave the world.
Many years later, an unknown soldier who decided to leave the battlefield of Guangling Road in his early years got an abandoned sword by chance in the deep mountains. Then when he was killing everyone in the rivers and lakes, the sword in his hand was engraved with a seal. The famous sword with the word "Kill Xu".
Many years later, this kendo master who was in the ascendant in the southern world went to the north to challenge Yu Dilong, who was already the undisputed number one in the world. As a result, the sword in his hand was abruptly broken. It was precisely because of this incident that Gou Youfang, a traveling Confucian scholar who had a close relationship with this swordsman, emerged from nowhere and appeared in the arena for the first time. He had his first peak battle with his old enemy Yu Dilong. After that, Yu Dilong Long made a ten-year agreement with Gou Youfang, who regretted losing. After that, for sixty years, the two of them each led the way for thirty years.
But in the current world, Yu Dilong is still just a scout captain of the Youzhou Cavalry, and Gou Youfang is still a young man selling steamed dumplings in Emperor Wu City.
-------------
In the fourth year of Xiangfu, in late autumn, everything is in a state of silence.
After Northern Liang King Xu Fengnian broke the camp with one sword, the Northern Liang cavalry immediately launched a charge, and Lu Xiangsheng's troops were immediately defeated.
Lu Xiangsheng himself is not mediocre, and his more than 300,000 troops are not weak soldiers. Most of them participated in pushing the famous Western Chu generals Xie Xichu and Kou Jianghuai to the riverside to wait for us, veterans of hundreds of battles.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be defeated so easily.
However, most of Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers came from Jing'an and Jiangnan.
After more than four years of war from the first year of Xiangfu to the fourth year of Xiangfu, the Jingan Dao uprising recently happened. After that, Zhao Xun massacred the revolting civilians, and he was tired of war.
If it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng's high prestige in the army and his love for soldiers as his own son, he might have stopped fighting.
On the first day of the confrontation with Lu Xiangsheng, Xu Fengnian was keenly aware of the war-weariness hidden in the opponent's army.
After more than ten days of confrontation, coupled with many tests, Xu Fengnian acted deliberately, and this emotion had reached the point where it would explode with just one introduction.

Taking advantage of Lu Dantian's reason for sending the sword, Xu Fengnian used the sword. It seemed powerful, but in fact, he killed less than a thousand soldiers in Lu Xiangsheng's army.
But this sword was enough to break the spirit of Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers.
Lu Xiangsheng defeated Wucai County and understood that the imperial court's plan to destroy Chu had failed and Jiangnan Road could no longer be defended.
He led his own troops and retreated to Jing'an Road.
After arranging the remaining troops and defeated generals, Lu Xiangsheng wrote a memorial and sent it to Tai'an City to ask for reinforcements. The other side suggested that the imperial court send the 300,000 most elite troops from Liyang led by Chen Zhibao, Gu Jiantang, and Zhao Sui back to Lianghuai to guard against the merger of Northern Liang and Western Chu.
As for why he gave up the hard-won advantage and took the defensive, Lu Xiangsheng also explained clearly in his memorial.
Xu Fengnian's personal strength has reached a point where it can influence the outcome of the war.
Facing him head-on, the soldiers would only be demoralized by Xu Fengnian's earth-shattering attack.
They can only wait for the opportunity, accumulate military strength, and advance in two directions, one way to contain Xu Fengnian and the other to attack Chu.
Adopt the strategy of "when the enemy retreats, we advance, and when the enemy advances, we retreat."
The basis of the strategy proposed by Lu Xiangsheng is to rely on Liyang's own profound background to make Xu Fengnian exhausted.
The Liyang court knew that although this approach was effective, the manpower and material resources required would be astronomical.
At the same time that Lu Xiangsheng's memorial was sent to Tai'an City, a memorial jointly signed by Chen Zhubao and Gu Jiantang was delivered.
It is certainly worth mentioning that Lu Xiangsheng was defeated.
They expected that Lu Xiangsheng would be defeated and Li Yang would definitely want to retreat.
So they jointly reported that Xu Feng had only 50,000 soldiers per year, and that Xi Chu's strength was greatly reduced after the fierce battle at the Western Barrier.
Even if the two join together, they are still not enough to fight against Li Yang who has the advantage in military strength.
The elites of the two Liao Dynasties are still there, Chen Zhibao's soldiers have not lost their fighting strength, and there is side support from the King of Jiaodong. As long as the court mobilizes more troops, the Western Chu can be destroyed in one battle.
Once you quit, it means giving up the hard-earned good situation.
As for the issue of Xu Fengnian's strength, Chen Zhibao and Gu Jiantang gave their own solutions.
The two of them are already in the realm of Confucian saints and land gods. It may not be enough to deal with Xu Fengnian, a great immortal, but cooperating with the masters in the army to delay them is enough.
Regarding the different opinions given by Lu Xiangsheng, Gu Jiantang, and Chen Zhibao.
There was a heated debate in Liyang Temple, with supporters on both sides.
Finally, in Jin Lanting, Wen Tiren and others, they said: "People are bound to die, but ten people cannot be treated; ten people are bound to die, but a hundred people cannot be treated; a hundred people are bound to die, but a thousand people cannot be treated; a thousand people are bound to die, and ten thousand people cannot be treated. "Everyone is bound to die, and he is rampant throughout the world, issuing orders and prohibiting them. This is the teacher of the king." The theory is that let
Zhao Zhuan made the decision to adopt the suggestions of Gu Jiantang and Chen Zhibao.
Zhao Zhuan personally ordered an additional 200,000 troops for Gu Jiantang to fight Beiliang and Western Chu at the Western Barrier.
These 200,000 soldiers and horses are the new Liyang army created by the imperial court.
------------------
The Guangling River was constantly surging, and hundreds of warships carried the Northern Liang cavalry across the Guangling River.
Xu Fengnian stood on the leading Huanglong battleship and looked at the waves on the river. "This battleship of the Qingzhou Navy is indeed excellent. It is worthy of the navy built by Li Yang."
Chen Chuiyun on the side laughed when he heard this and said: "However, it is all advantageous to me, Beiliang."
