In fact, at the beginning, the Yan State did not take the so-called four young marshals of the Snow Kingdom seriously, because such generals who were suddenly promoted were basically close followers of those in power, and they were basically not very good at fighting.
Fighting and managing the army are life-threatening jobs. The life and death of tens of thousands of people are all in the hands of the commander of an army. A wrong order may cause irreparable consequences. Therefore, to be a general, in addition to having rich military skills Theoretical knowledge also requires considerable practical experience and years of accumulation. For example, Xiaoting, who joined the army since childhood and relied on military merit step by step, is the necessary experience for a successful general. However, this so-called star ghost, Qiong Ya, Gucheng, the fourth marshal of Yanchixue Kingdom, who these four people are, where they came from, and what their previous experiences are, there is no way of knowing.
Although the Snow Kingdom had very little interaction with the Yan Kingdom before Xue Jinghong came to power, but little does not mean that there was none. They had indeed fought some battles in large and small places before. The soldiers of the Yan Kingdom clearly remembered that they led the Snow Kingdom at that time. The army is led by a general named Bing Qilin. This person is experienced in leading troops, proficient in warfare, and is well versed in the teachings of Sun Tzu. Although he is not a soldier, he must have sufficient combat experience. It can be said that he is a general. A qualified general. After Xue Jinghong came to power, Bing Qilin disappeared and was confirmed to be replaced by the four marshals of the Snow Kingdom. The original army was also divided into four groups. Therefore, although Xue Jinghong’s ambition far exceeded that of the previous Snow Kingdom The late king, but the officers and soldiers of Yan State are not too nervous. After all, the situation on the battlefield has nothing to do with your ambition.
Then, the fourth marshal began to lead his army across the Inner Mongolia Plateau towards the western fortress of Yan State, Yulu Pass. After arriving at Yulu Pass, he did not waste any time and immediately began to attack, and the Yan army began to guard the pass as usual.
The terrain of Touluguan is dangerous, surrounded by mountains on three sides and open on one side. It can be said that one man can guard the pass and ten thousand men can't open it. It is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack. When Ice Qilin was in charge of the army before, he would never attack directly from the front. Now these four young marshals As the army attacked from the front, all the troops of the Yan Kingdom confirmed one thing, that is, the so-called fourth marshal of the Snow Kingdom really did not know how to fight.
Then, Fenglu Pass was captured. Yes, you heard it right. The most solid fortress in the western border of the Yan Kingdom, Fenglu Pass, which is known as one man can pass it but ten thousand people cannot open it, was defeated in less than three days. He was captured by the Fourth Marshal of Snow Country.
The way the four marshals used to capture the Fenglu Pass was also very simple, that is, fighting. This battle was not an ordinary battle between soldiers and armor, but a battle of skills. It is said that although the four marshals were not proficient in the art of war, their personal cultivation level was high. But it is extremely high. These four people have already entered the Four Symbol Realm at a young age, so the original battle between the two armies has become a battle between the four major cultivators. In front of them were like fallen leaves floating in the autumn wind, swaying with the wind and dying if touched. In the end, all 10,000 defenders were killed in the battle. The guard general Ma Suyi rode back to the Yanxi headquarters Baima City with his broken body and shouted to the tower: Lu Pass was lost, and he then drew his sword and committed suicide in front of the city gate. He died with his eyes open, and although he died, the fierce horse following the veteran general, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, surrounded his master after his death, neither eating nor drinking, and neighing day and night. , and finally died of exhaustion.
Xiao Ting received the news in the city, and gathered three thousand horsemen in the starry night, and hurriedly rushed to Yulu Pass for 800 miles. It took him only three hours to reach his destination in the original two-day journey. With an unstable foothold in the pass and his own familiarity with the terrain, he used a blitzkrieg attack and fought fiercely for two hours before finally regaining the Yulu Pass. No one knows how Xiaoting defeated the four major cultivators of the Four Symbols Realm on his own. , because as we all know, Xiaoting was only at the peak level of the Five Elements at that time. Using the Five Elements to fight the Four Four Elephants was not only an incredible thing, but also something that was simply impossible to accomplish and completely impossible, but it was Such an impossible thing was accomplished by Xiaoting. It is said that when the Xiao family rode through the pass, it happened that the sky suddenly rose and the morning light broke. The skylight shone on Bailongyin Xiaoting. People found that he was dressed in white. The robe had already been soaked in blood and turned bright red. After the first battle, the white clothes turned into blood clothes.
In this battle, General Xiao Ting of Yanxi destroyed 2,600 soldiers, and Yan history called it the Battle of Blood Clothes.
After the Battle of Bloody Clothes, Xiaoting's reputation and prestige reached its peak. Everyone in the Yan Palace and the public praised his bravery. There were even rumors that he had already broken through the Five Elements and reached the Four Symbols realm, and was even launching an attack on the legendary Liangyi realm. , it was after this battle that King Yan gradually began to feel resentful towards his brother with a different surname.
"Is this the so-called master of great power?"
Shui Han felt a chill in his heart. After listening to Qin Wuyang's story, he could basically guess the story behind it. The plot of killing a high minister because the king was afraid of him can be found in various historical talks and stories and novels. It is very common. It must be said that interpretation itself comes from life, and life itself may sometimes be more exciting than interpretation.
Qin Wuyang nodded and said:
"You should be able to guess what happens next, but Xiaoting's death is as mysterious as his victory over the four marshals alone. It is said that King Yan invited Xiaoting to the palace and asked him to drink poisoned wine, and then The idea of sending the Gotei Guards to secretly assassinate him was widely circulated in the palace privately. However, because the King deliberately concealed it and the Gotei Guards also kept secret about this matter, there is no way to verify the authenticity of this matter. However, one thing is true. Everyone agrees that it was the king who secretly killed Xiaoting, because Xiaoting indeed entered the palace to meet the king and never came out again."
Shui Han still couldn't figure it out, he said:
"Why do you do such a stupid thing?"
When Shui Han said stupid, he was naturally referring to King Yan. Unexpectedly, Qin Wuyang did not feel angry at Shui Han's behavior of slandering his king. He remained as calm as before and asked calmly:
"What do you mean by this?"
"I know the reason why cunning rabbits die and are cooked by lackeys, but now the Snow Kingdom has not been destroyed, and the pressure in the Western Region is also very high. To execute Xiaoting at this time is not stupid. A ruthless and stupid person will be the king of the Yan Kingdom. , I don’t think Yan State can last long like this?”
"You really dare to say that with just these few words you just said, I can kill you right now."
"I've already committed regicide anyway. It's a mortal sin. Even if there's one more piece of disrespect, it's no big deal."
At first, he was a little unhappy about taking the blame, but after hearing the story Qin Wuyang told, Shui Han suddenly felt that this old King Yan was really not a thing. Even if he really killed him, he did a good job.
