After two months, the Great Jin Army has been holding on to the city. Due to the strong city of Qinyang City and the abundant military rations, the Geshu army was in a hurry and had no way to capture it quickly.

Liu Jinnan used the spy organization in the western provinces to incite local militia groups to rebel. Because Geshu Wuji did not govern Western Xinjiang for a long time and was unpopular with the people, many people were not willing to be coerced by it to betray the Great Jin, so there were uprisings in various places, and the phenomenon of competing for deer began to appear in Western Xinjiang.

Affected by the situation in western Xinjiang, several other western provinces also revolted. Some militia groups even started the idea of the Geshu army's grain route, and came to loot it from time to time. The grain route in the rear was affected, and Qinyang City could not be attacked, and Geshu Wuji and Hu Deliang were very uncomfortable.

At the same time, Liu Jinnan's injuries are getting worse and worse.

Geshu Wuji's sword is quenched with poison, and ordinary martial arts practitioners are afraid that they will die on the spot after being scratched, but fortunately, Liu Jinnan's internal strength is profound, and he can force the poison with internal strength.

However, because Liu Jinnan had also been poisoned by Mei Tianfeng's short blade before, coupled with the "floating light glimpse" that day, his true qi was greatly damaged, and he couldn't force out the toxicity in his body with his own true qi.

Liu Chenghao, Xiang Wuji and others had no choice but to watch Liu Jinnan suffer, and their hearts were tormented, but others could not understand it.

At this time, above the Great Jin Dynasty, Shangguan Tianmin, the Son of Heaven, was worried about the battle report.

The Great Sima Wang Hanchen came out and said: "Your Majesty, the defeat in the first battle was due to Liu Jinnan's failure to perceive Hu Deliang's wolf ambition and fell into a trap; ”

Hearing this, the emperor's face was gloomy and seemed to move.

At this time, Zhongshu Ling Liu Ruling hurriedly came out and said: "Qiqi Shengshang, at present, the militia groups in the western provinces are all around, and some militia groups have even cut off the grain routes of the rebels, which has hurt their roots. As things stand, the rebels could be defeated without a fight in less than three months. ”

Wang Hanchen said: "Liu Jinnan led the army to hold out, and wasted money and food, what is the benefit of the country." ”

"Lord Liu, you can't say that in three months, the rebels can be defeated without a fight, so the country is raising these soldiers, is it just putting on a show, just so that the enemy can be defeated without a fight?"

"Besides, do you say that if they are defeated without a fight, they can be defeated without a fight? At present, there are militia groups in the western provinces, and General Liu Jinnan can take advantage of the current favorable opportunity to launch an all-out attack and annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop. ”

"If it continues to drag on, not only will it be a waste of national strength, but I am afraid that the situation will also change accordingly, wasting the current good opportunity. ”

When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up.

Liu Ruling hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the art of war is cloudy, and those who are good at fighting are invincible, and they will not lose the defeat of the enemy." ”

"According to the battle report fed back by Liu Jinnan, Geshu Wuji's longbowmen are very sharp, and they are currently in collusion with Hu Deliang. ”

"Liu Jinnan has always been able to fight well because he can judge the situation and assess the situation. In the current situation, we should still focus on defense......"

Wang Hanchen said: "Hmph, Lord Liu means that I won't lead troops, I'm just a mediocre talent, so how did Karasuma Province fight back then?"

At this time, the emperor spoke: "Don't quarrel with you, I have made up my mind, order Liu Jinnan to attack the city immediately, don't lose the current good opportunity!"

Liu Ruling sighed for a long time, and her heart was like ashes.

Liu Chengzhi was at home, and he had been paying close attention to the changes in the court, and when he learned that the emperor had ordered Liu Jinnan to go out of the city to meet the enemy, he secretly shouted that it was not good.

He immediately found Wang Pingzhang and came to Liu Ruling's house together. Liu Ruling and Liu Jinnan have always been good friends, and Liu Chengzhi is generally called his uncle.

After Liu Chengzhi and Wang Pingzhang finished the salute, Chengzhi went straight in and said: "Shibo, the emperor ordered to go out of the city to meet the enemy, is there any room for maneuver in this matter?"

Liu Ruling sighed and said, "I have also fought for it, but the emperor was confused by Wang Hanchen, and this time I am afraid that it will not be able to be recovered." ”

Liu Ruling glanced at Liu Chengzhi, her eyes were full of apologies, and said, "Child, Shibo is above the court, and he can't rely on his own will, I hope you can understand." ”

"The defeat of the Northwest this time, I'm afraid it's irreparable, I have a lifelong friendship with your father, but in the end, I don't know ......"

Liu Chengzhi's eyes were firm, staring at Liu Ruling, and said: "Shibo, I'm not reconciled, I think I still have a way, even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, I have to try." ”

Liu Ruling had always known that this second son was quite witty, but he didn't know that he was so determined, he asked, "Child, what are you going to do?"

Liu Chengzhi bowed deeply and said, "Shibo, I need your help, I want to participate in the selection of the Yellow Gate!"

The next day, the Great Jin Dynasty issued a proclamation, and two days later, that is, half a month in advance, the Yellow Gate General Selection Contest was held, and the generals selected this time will be used as a new force to support the western frontier to survey the rebellion.

As soon as they heard that they were going to the western Xinjiang to investigate the turmoil, many descendants of the martial arts family retreated, and after signing up in two days, there were only about 60 people in total. And Liu Chengzhi participated in the competition as the only candidate for the Taiwei Mansion. Soon, the schedule also came down, and due to the small number of players, a total of six rounds were set up until the final.

The next day was about to compete, Liu Chengzhi sat in the courtyard of the Taiwei Mansion, facing the bright moonlight, took out the blood droplets left for him by his father, and slowly wiped them.

From the tip of the sword to the blade, this sword has a long blood mark, like a long mark, marking the history of my father's decades of bloody struggle and loyalty to the country.

"I must be like my father! Turn the tide of the war at the moment of crisis and contribute to the Great Jin!" Cheng Zhi secretly determined to win the championship, become a military general, and rescue his father and brother and the Great Jin soldiers trapped in Qinyang City.

The sky slowly brightened, Liu Chengzhi carried the long sword on his back and slowly walked to the Yellow Gate Arena.

After the morning bell struck, the number of people in the ring gradually increased, and it slowly became more and more lively.

"When..."The bell rang, the Yellow Gate Ring Match began, and Liu Chengzhi stepped into his own ring.

Playing at the same time as him was a big man with a mace, nine feet tall, a head taller than Chengzhi.

"Zongzheng Mansion Liu Yan, please teach me a lot!" the big man's voice was like a bronze bell.

"Taiwei Mansion Liu Chengzhi!" Chengzhi clasped his hands together and gave a salute.

There was an exclamation from under the ring: "Liu Yan! This is the favorite to win the championship this time! I heard that he opened the martial arts mark at the age of five, and now he is now the ninth order of the Hidden Dragon Realm!"

"Isn't his opponent Liu Chengzhi, the second son of the Taiwei Mansion? I heard that he just opened the martial arts mark a few months ago!"

"What? Just opened the martial marks, isn't this looking for death? Although the people who came to the Yellow Gate Ring are under the age of eighteen, they are all masters, and besides, he met Liu Yan! How can a rookie who has just opened the martial arts mark compete with him?"

"If you are killed, you will lose money!"

"Alas, young people nowadays are adventurous!"

At this time, Liu Yanzheng said: "Liu Chengzhi, I know that you only opened the martial arts a few months ago, I don't want to take advantage of the danger of others, you stop as soon as possible, I will give you a chance to escape!"

Liu Chengzhi was expressionless and said: "I have to fight in this ring, please make a move!"
