The oldest of these soldiers was in their forties, and the youngest was in his teens, all of them carrying animal heads and iron bows, and wearing long swords and waist knives.

At the front was a young male officer with a famous horse face, flying off his horse and raising a black iron plate engraved with the word "tiger" in his right hand.

"It turns out that the generals are the heroes of the Tiger Ben Army from the North, please enter the city." When a column of soldiers guarding the city gate saw the iron plates, they immediately looked at them in respect and let them pass.

The old dynasty opened a total of 12 generations of emperors, the last emperor was very mediocre, more than ten years ago when the country was in civil strife to cede the north of the ten cities to the Xiongnu.

He Dong, the founding emperor of the new dynasty, invaded the capital Chang'an more than ten years ago. The last emperor of the Kai Dynasty fled to the north with his favorite concubine and crown prince, and offered ten cities to seek protection from the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu asked the last emperor of the Kai Dynasty to write a letter to pass the throne to the Xiongnu Emperor, and bowed down to his ministers and called himself his godson.

The last emperor did it one by one, losing power and humiliating the country, and since then all the 22 cities in the north have been returned to the Xiongnu.

After He Dong ascended the throne, he was afraid that the northern people would be domesticated by the Xiongnu, so he sent a large army north to seize the city the following year.

The most powerful armies of the Ding Dynasty, the Dragon Teng Army, the Tiger Ben Army, the Lion Roaring Army, and the Wolf Killing Army poured out.

These four armies were founded decades ago, each army has 5,000 soldiers, half of whom are martial arts masters from Taoism.

The first general was He Dong, the founding emperor of the current dynasty, and the second general was He Dong's eldest brother, King Xia, He Xia.

He Xia died in battle in the Northland two years ago. He Dong handed over the four armies to his three sons and nephews.

The Dragon Teng Army and the Lion Roar Army were commanded by the crown prince He Yixuan.

The wolf killing army was commanded by He Jinghai, the eldest son of King Xia.

The son of King Qing, the general of the Tiger Ben Army, He Jingyan.

King Qing is He Dong's younger brother He Qing. He Jingyan is the eldest son of King Qing, he was named the son of the world at the age of three, entered the temple as a warrior monk at the age of four, entered the temple as a martial artist at the age of eight, and became a general of the Tiger Ben Army at the age of twelve.

In the spring of the previous year, He Jingyan led the Huben army, which was good at long-distance raids, to go deep into the mountainous grasslands on the border between the Xiongnu and the north, slaughtering the Xiongnu nomadic tribes and scattered armies, and distracting the attention of the main Xiongnu army.

When the Huben army first entered the grassland, it only appeared on the border, and did not make any big moves, until the autumn, He Jingyan commanded the Huben army to enter the hinterland of the Xiongnu for 2,000 miles in the north, attacked the grassland camp at night, and killed a prince and uncle and a prince of the Xiongnu emperor.

The Xiongnu emperor was furious and personally ordered the Xiongnu general to send 30,000 cavalry to chase and annihilate the Huben army. Unexpectedly, the 30,000 cavalry of the Huns were scattered into five armies by He Jingyan, and then the Huben army was slaughtered one by one.

The Huben army returned safely, and once again penetrated into the hinterland of the Xiongnu last summer, swept thousands of miles, and successively killed five members of the Xiongnu royal family, 11 officials above the third grade, and 49 officials above the seventh grade.

So far, the Tiger Ben Army has become famous in the world, and its reputation has overshadowed the Dragon Teng Army, the Lion Howling Army, and the Wolf Killing Army.

The children of Chang'an City all know the name of the Tiger Ben Army, and the soldiers who defend the city worship this divine army very much.

More than 30 Huben soldiers entered the bustling and lively Chang'an City, and their riding speed slowed down.

A young man in the middle, with an ape back and a bee waist, bronzed skin, slender phoenix eyes with sword eyebrows, a straight nose and red lips, with clear contours, and a cold and fierce handsomeness, attracted countless women on the side of the road to stop and pay attention, but they didn't dare to untie their purses and throw them to him.

He rushed to the front with his horse and said solemnly: "I entered the palace and saw His Majesty before returning to the palace." Wait first at the palace. ”

The horse-faced young man replied respectfully "yes" and led a group of people to the direction of the palace.

The boy is He Jingyan, the son of King Qing and the general of the Huben Army, who is fifteen years old this year, has martial arts and is proficient in the art of war, Qimen Dunjia, and is known as the "young military god" by the world.

The horse-faced young man is He Jingyan's personal soldier captain Lu Daoming. This person killed two corrupt dog officials at the beginning of the dynasty, and had to become a monk, and lost to He Jingyan in a martial arts competition a few years ago.

He Jingyan joined the army and became a general, and Lu Daoming has always followed him left and right, letting him send him, no matter how dangerous it is, he will not hesitate to carry it out.

The four door slaves of the Qingwang Mansion recognized Lu Daoming, and according to the rules set by He Jingyan, they hurriedly let him enter the palace from the main gate with all the soldiers.

The head of the Qing Palace, who was overjoyed, immediately reported to the Qing prince and the princess who had been looking forward to the prince for two years, and arranged a sumptuous lunch for the soldiers, and then let them rest in the guest room.

The mansions around Qingwangfu were all royal families and important ministers, and soon it became known that He Jingyan returned to Chang'an with dozens of personal soldiers.

The housewives in these mansions know the situation of the children of the famous families of the Chang'an royal family well, and they know that He Jingyan's family affairs are undecided.

He Jingyan had just arrived at the palace for only half an hour, and three important ministers entered the palace to ask for a saint in order to marry with King Qing's mansion.

This is the second day of the Lunar New Year. When the three ministers learned that He Dong was in the Dragon Head Palace, they wanted to rush over.

A little eunuch in front of He Dong ran over and said, "My Majesty, Your Majesty has an order to return if there is no major incident, and I will report it again in the morning of the fourth day of the new year." ”

The palace of the Ding Dynasty still uses the palace of the Kai Dynasty, with a total of Daming Palace, Taiji Palace and Xingqing Palace. There are 20 or more halls in the three palaces.

At this time, the door of the study of the Dragon Head Hall was closed, and there were eight royal forest soldiers standing outside the door. He Dong and He Jingyan have been in the room for half an hour.

In the room, which was warm like spring with a brazier, four bookshelves full of books were close to the wall, and next to the bookshelves were two large blue and white porcelain basins, which were planted with dark green evergreen, but they were empty.

It turned out that there was an underground secret room in the study, and the access mechanism was set up in the middle of the bookshelf.

He Dong has several princes and nephews, and the most trusted ones are He Jinghai and He Jingyan, but only the latter have entered the secret room so far.

After listening to He Jingyan's report on the battle situation in the north, He Dong's face was solemn, he stretched out his hand to pick up the candlelight, walked to the wall, pointed to the map hanging on the wall, and said slowly: "The most difficult city in the north is Qingcheng, where there are 50,000 Xiongnu troops and 30,000 Kaichao troops. Our army has lost two sieges in a row, tens of thousands of soldiers have been killed and wounded, and the third time must be won! ”

He Jingyan thought about it for a while, and then knew the meaning of He Dong's words, and said sincerely: "Uncle Emperor, I am willing to lead the Huben Army to participate in the battle of attacking Qingcheng." ”

He Dong turned his head and looked fixedly at his nephew, who had a resolute face and could not see the slightest childishness, nodded appreciatively, and said word by word: "I don't want you to attack the city, as long as you lead a hundred personal soldiers to protect one person secretly." ”

He Jingyan asked, "Who is this person?" ”

He Donghu turned around and put down the candle lamp and said, "Mr. Crouching Tiger." ”

Many years ago, Mr. Crouching Tiger was a young hermit who lived in the countryside in the Kai Dynasty, invented the textile machine and farm tools, and led dozens of unarmed villagers to kill more than 200 fierce and middle-aged thieves who attacked the village at night.

At that time, He Dong was only the leader of a rebel army of less than 30,000 people, and he was recommended to go to the countryside to ask Mr. Crouching Tiger to come out of the mountain.

Mr. Crouching Tiger has great ambitions, and he and He Dong hate to meet late, talk deeply for a day and a night, and are willing to assist He Dong to establish a new dynasty as emperor.

He Dong was overjoyed and wanted to make Mr. Crouching Tiger a military advisor. Mr. Crouching Tiger did not agree, and only said that he was secretly giving advice to He Dong.

The emperor of the Kai Dynasty fled from Chang'an, three rebel armies rushed to enter Chang'an, and He Dong was caught between two rebels and was in a very dangerous situation.

Mr. Crouching Tiger offered three strategies in a row, so that He Dong killed the leaders of the two rebel armies, recruited the rebel army, successfully captured Chang'an, and successfully proclaimed the emperor and established the Ding Dynasty.

He Dong ascended the throne and canonized the founding hero, and everyone competed for the lord, only Mr. Crouching Tiger said: "In this life, if you don't drive the Xiongnu out of the customs, you won't be awarded meritorious service." ”

In the second year of He Dong's ascension to the throne, according to Mr. Crouching Tiger's strategy, he sent a large army to the north to capture the city.

Mr. Crouching Tiger infiltrated the north and became the leader of the fine work, approaching the Xiongnu officials under the cover of doing business, and constantly sent back information, making great contributions to the Dingchao army's attack on the city.

He Dong admired Mr. Crouching Tiger's five-body throw, that is, he was in the Xiongnu Dynasty, and he also sent several smart sons and nephews to apprentice.

After so many years, many people think that Mr. Crouching Tiger has disappeared mysteriously, but in fact, he has always been loyal to He Dong, and he has been working hard every day to recapture the city from the Xiongnu Dynasty in the Ding Dynasty.

"My Master!" He Jingyan's voice was excited, and the great man with a jade face, a temperament like a bamboo, and a genius appeared in his mind.
