"So, you and I have come all the way here to see this?" The night falcon looked at the town below, and a bonfire was burning brightly, illuminating the faces around it. Obviously, it was a big bonfire, and the whole town was full of people with heads and faces, as well as a large number of people.

But this bonfire play with fire is not so authentic, because it is not only the bonfire that illuminates the people, but also the lights hanging around it. At a glance, these lights are temporarily added, and their functions are the same as those of a campfire, but the charm they bring is completely different from that of a campfire.

Next to the bonfire, there are several tables, and there is an open space in the middle, and a circle of people in the open space is beating gongs and drums, and the strong man with the upper body has a waist drum hanging on his body, and he is jumping and beating with a drumstick with red silk satin, and several people are in a circle with great momentum.

Ann Xiaoyu and the Night Falcon stayed directly above the bonfire, looking down at the party below. An Xiaoyu actually watched it with relish, and introduced it to the night falcon while watching: "This custom of jumping around the bonfire and encouraging was probably spread here before the founding of the country, when the prototype of the Three Thousand Empire had not yet been fully formed. ”

"At that time, this place was the border between a certain dynasty and an alien territory, after all, you see, not far away is the pickaxe base, even now it is a border area. At that time, there were frequent wars here, and about a hundred miles west of this town was the front line of the imperial dynasty. ”

"This is a very small dynasty, and even when the Three Thousand Great Emperors united the Three Thousand Dynasties, they almost forgot that there was such a place. Perhaps, if nothing happens, the Three Thousand Empires are in the process of preparation, and this place will be turned into a wasteland, and the people will all be integrated into the other dynasties. ”

However, at this time, a famous general appeared in this place, and this general was actually visible in the elementary school textbooks of these nearby provinces. His name was Yan Peng, a young general, and the third son of a declining prince of the dynasty. ”

"Yan Peng was born in the imperial dynasty, but he was not contaminated with the arrogant and lascivious habits of the royal family, but worked very hard. Because of the decline of the family, he saw that he was about to lose his title, so what Yan Peng wanted to do since he was a child was to revitalize the family style and make the palace become a pivotal existence in the country again. ”

"In those days, there were only two ways to get ahead. One is to practice with heart and achieve strong cultivation; The other is to learn the art of war, lead the troops to fight, if you can do a hundred battles, then you can be regarded as a famous general, protect the territory and the people, and be respected by the entire human world. ”

"Of course, if you can rely on cultivation or the art of war to make aliens fearful, then even if you are a human hero, it will not only be as simple as getting ahead, but will also be praised by everyone. And the boy I'm talking about was a great success at the age of eighteen and completely achieved the title of hero. ”

"When Yan Peng practiced martial arts at the age of sixteen, the entire dynasty had been eroded to a certain extent, and the people of the royal family would only make compromises in the face of foreign attacks. Many loyal courtiers were beheaded by the angry emperor, and there were gradually no more courtiers in the court who dared to speak the truth. ”

"By the time he was seventeen years old, the entire court had been completely rotten, and all the top and bottom were the emperor's favored ministers, comforting the emperor all day long, making him content with the status quo, and completely becoming an emperor of wine and meat, only knowing that he was drunk and dreaming of death, even if he knew that the emperor's life was short, but he just wanted to try his best to enjoy the rest of the time."

Yan Peng watched the entire dynasty fall with his own eyes, the people were struggling to make a living, and how many soldiers and people were burned and plundered by foreign races, but the emperor turned a deaf ear. Wealthy merchants were looking for a way out, and even many members of the royal family followed suit and moved to other dynasties. ”

He began to understand that it was too late to practice martial arts. He was only seventeen years old, even if he practiced martial arts quickly, could he achieve supreme in a year? If he does not become supreme, the power of one person will never be able to save the entire dynasty, he has no time, the dynasty has no time. ”

So Yan Peng embarked on another path, and spent a whole year, forgetting to sleep and eating, studying the art of war day and night, and found that his talent in the art of war was actually very high. Although there was no famous teacher to guide him, Yan Peng was self-taught, and it didn't take long for him to understand it and make an accurate analysis of the situation at home and abroad. ”

"Gradually, his father discovered Yan Peng's talent and began to take Yan Peng to the battlefield to experience it in person, and at the same time hoped that Yan Peng could become a new force in the entire dynasty, leading a team to fight against foreign races and save some of the declining situations on the front line."

"Yan Peng really lived up to expectations, when he was eighteen years old, Yan Peng led a team of 3,000 people for the first time, and he repeatedly made strange moves, harassing the alien team when the entire battlefield was responding, shifting the center of gravity of the entire battlefield, so that the back hand of the dynasty could be used, and he hit it with one blow."

Since then, Yan Peng has won the battle, and the people of the entire dynasty have begun to know Yan Peng's name. Yan Peng's troops have also changed from a coordinated team of 3,000 people to a regular army of 20,000 people. Yan Peng's ambition began to be realized. ”

"After officially leading the troops, for two consecutive years, Yan Peng led the troops to fight against the alien races without defeat. Every time an army is dispatched, it is always possible to win more than few, and the weak to defeat the strong. Of course, in our current opinion, it is not so smart to defeat the strong against the weak against the alien race in terms of the art of war alone. ”

"But in those days, such talents were indeed rare. So the Humanist Sect and the Three Thousand Emperors began to notice this young general, in fact, it was inevitable, after all, they were already ready to abandon these marginal and corner dynasties, and had already prepared a lot of defenses behind these dynasties, ready to resist the alien race for a period of time after their fall, and then launch a counterattack. ”

As a result, while they were still discussing what to do with the humans of these dynasties, they found that all the other places had collapsed, and only a few places were still standing. In this way, it can be seen who is the talent, so Yan Peng has become a young celebrity of the entire human race. ”

Yan Peng also lived up to the name of a young famous general, and together with several other famous generals, he led troops to resist aliens at the forefront. Soon, the emperor of the dynasty fell ill and died...... Of course, on the surface, it is said that he died of illness, but everyone understands the specific time. The elders and generals of the court all elected the royal palace to sit on the throne. ”

Yan Peng, who was fighting on the front line, unknowingly became the crown prince and the leader of the entire dynasty. Immediately afterwards, the dynasty was absorbed by the Three Thousand Empires and became one of the Three Thousand Imperial Dynasties. The soldiers under the command of Yan Peng have also changed from the soldiers of the dynasty to the elite soldiers of the three thousand empires, and there are even a large number of cultivators. ”

In this way, Yan Peng finally gave full play to his value and became a very important general in the War of All Races. However, because Yan Peng practiced the art of war when he was a teenager, he has been leading soldiers to fight since then, and although he was overworked and injured on his body, although he did not die on the battlefield, he only had a short lifespan of 80 years. ”

"Yan Peng, from the age of seventeen to the age of seventy-five, has experienced more than 1,800 battles, including 800 big victories, 1,000 small victories, and the rest have never failed, all of them are draws, and among these battles, the most famous is the battle of Yangwei Pass to defend the city."

"The place of Yangwei Pass basically doesn't exist now, but the approximate location should be near the rear of the Chengwei base. At that time, the place was a mountainous area, but later it became flat after the war, and of course the mountain that looked like a sheep's tail did not exist. ”

"When Yangwei was defending the city, it was the most difficult time on the battlefield here. The Three Thousand Empires began to attack the aliens from the center, and naval battles were still going on along the southern coast. The situation in the north is chaotic, and bandits are rampant. In order to ensure the success of the general offensive of the center, the only way to ensure the stability of the rear is to stabilize this section of the battlefield. ”

"The task given to Yan Peng by the Three Thousand Emperors is to hold the Yangwei Pass for a month. But Yan Peng knew that as long as the battle in the center was not over, once his side was defeated, the entire general offensive would be frustrated. So under the crazy attack of the alien race, Yan Peng defended Yangwei Pass. ”

"When the ordnance in the city was used up, they made it themselves, and when the food was gone, they looked for wild things that could satisfy their stomachs, and even the soldiers were killed and wounded, and the people in the city spontaneously raised Ding Zhuang and added them to the ranks, and finally held the Yangwei Pass for thirty days."

"However, the effect of the general attack is not good, and the three thousand emperors led the core team of the human race to fight in the alien territory, and they still haven't come back. Once they retreated from Yangwei Pass, it would immediately lead to a huge hidden danger in the logistics of the general attack, and Yan Peng decided to continue to defend Yangwei Pass. ”

"At this time, the battlefield of the general offensive has fallen into an embarrassing situation, and without looking for a breakthrough, neither side will be able to solve the final victory of the entire battlefield. So the alien race frantically sent troops to attack Yangwei Pass, wanting to cut off the back road of the Three Thousand Emperors. ”

"In this battle, almost everyone died, and in the end there were only some old and weak women and children left in Yangwei Pass, and there were only more than 300 people who could fight. In the face of the attack of the alien race, Yan Peng decided to fight to the death, and at night, he ordered more than 50 strong men to go up, painted a grimace pattern on their bodies with fluorescent substances, and wore a waist drum, holding a war knife to sneak attack the rear troops of the alien race at night. ”

"At that time, the three thousand emperors were pressing forward step by step, and the situation on the foreign side was not so good, and the strength of the attack was naturally not high. Fifty waist drummers and more than one hundred and fifty other soldiers sneaked up near the alien territory at night, and several cultivators secretly extinguished the alien bonfires and torches. ”

Then fifty waist drummers took off their shirts, ** their upper bodies, showed hideous grimaces, struck the waist drum with the handle of their swords, and rushed into the battlefield. The sudden turn of events, grimaces and frantic drumming choked the aliens, and 200 soldiers rushed into the alien camp and slashed wildly. ”

By the time the aliens reacted, more than half of their soldiers had been killed, and they were still breaking up, and they were already in a state of collapse. So the foreign generals had no choice but to retreat with hatred, and from then on bought a few days for Yangwei Pass, and also bought a total of a few days. ”

After learning of the failure of the sneak attack, a large number of generals on the alien side lost confidence in this battle, and a negative atmosphere began to permeate the alien ranks. The morale of the alien side fell again and again, and the Three Thousand Emperors finally won the victory, which was already five days later. ”

In the end, Yan Peng was named a general because of his 37-day meritorious service in guarding Yangwei Pass. But while accepting the glory, Yan Peng also fell into a dark wound from then on. After a long battle and lack of nutrition, Yan Peng was nearly fifty years old at the time, where could he bear this kind of hardship? ”

After more than 20 years, Yan Peng finally fell ill in bed. In the remaining few years, Yan Peng left his life's work, several military books dedicated to turning the door against foreign races, and teaching two apprentices. ”

"And then there's this waist boost."

"Yan Peng has been on the battlefield all his life, he has never married a wife and had children, and naturally he has not inherited the dynasty, the dynasty exists in name only, and no one talks about it later, let alone any prominent family after the founding of the country. But Yan Peng's two apprentices were indeed equally famous in the Great War of Ten Thousand Races. ”

"One of them is Yan Peng's adopted son, who follows Yan Peng's surname, and his name is Yan Huai; The other is a genius of humanism and a practitioner at the same time, whose name is He Zhen. Both of these generals were more prominent in the Great War of Nations than their teachers, and they were also not passed down to the family. ”

"Because of his high cultivation, he took the lead when he went to the battlefield, and he was always the first to use the knife, and later died under the siege of more than a dozen foreign masters in the final battle, and killed no less than ten masters of the same level, and he was called brave."

"Yan Huai inherited Yan Peng's character, he was careful in everything, and mercenaries never took risks until he had to. Be careful all your life, and your calculations on the battlefield are often unexpected, and you can take the lead in the enemy, and often before the war heats up, you can make a single move to solve the crisis you face. ”

After the end of the war, Yan Peng refused the reward and became an ordinary official family from then on, without the status of a nobleman. But the Yan family used to be in the empire, just like an evergreen pine family, and they have been famous generals of the empire for generations, fighting on the battlefield for the empire. ”

Later, the times changed, and the Three Thousand family retreated into the background. The system of joint governance of the court and the military commission gradually took shape, and the word Yan family was gradually forgotten. After all, the Yan family, which does not have the name of a family, is just a small family that can produce a few generals every year. ”

"Until three thousand years ago, when the empire and the alien race launched a thousand-year war, because the alien race established the Council of Elders, and appointed wizards and mages in the alien territory, they learned the way of human combat, and updated the battle formation of the alien race, which caused the human race to not react for a while, and actually collapsed on all fronts."

"The talents of the Yan family were born, and with the strength of the entire family, all the young people of the right age were sent to the battlefield, turning the tide, saving the entire front line of the war, and when the human race was about to be completely invaded by the alien race, the situation of the war was reversed, and a new way of fighting the alien race was found."

"Almost all the tactical strategies we see now, the way of coordinated operations, as well as including reconnaissance, advance and retreat, and the study of the terrain, these combat knowledge, in fact, are largely developed from the tactics handed down by the Yan family, and they are the best way to deal with the current alien race, and they are often used and often updated, and after the old and the new, they can completely adapt to any changes."

"Including your brother Night Stalker, including me, and Ran He behind you, in fact, they are all members of the Yan family, and they are all students of Yan Huai and Yan Peng. But it was precisely because of that outbreak that a large number of adult men from the Yan family died on the battlefield, and in the end, only one person was left. ”

"While the Yan family is remembered by everyone in the new empire, it has also lost all its brilliance. The inheritance was broken, and there was not enough incense to continue, and the Yan family completely declined. At that time, those who did not leave the Yan family were nothing more than some children, and even the women went to the battlefield at that time, so naturally there was nothing left. ”

"Since then, the Yan family has only one lineage left, and even so, the Yan family of this lineage is still the general of the empire for generations. Although it is said that it may not really be able to compare with the ability of the ancestors, it can be regarded as loyal, and the style of the gate is strong. ”

"In fact, it is conceivable, there were so many Yan family members who went to the battlefield at the beginning, and all the others died in battle, why was only one person left? It's definitely not the best of these people, but the worst of them, who doesn't have the ability to go to the most dangerous battlefield, so he left his life. ”

"So the people of the Yan family didn't mix very well in the empire later, until the last generation, there was a middle two general who was afraid of heaven and earth. This person's name is Yan Shuo, he entered the mecha department of the Three Thousand Academy when he was young, and his personality is frivolous and arrogant, a little rigid and self-serving, and a little romantic. ”

"After graduating from the 3000 Academy, because of a conflict between a female soldier and a Shangguan, she was assigned to serve on the border. Probably because he was from the Yan family, he was not assigned any garbage troops to die, and he had to be given an official and a half-position, probably to let him do his best in the west like his ancestors. ”

"I'm telling you this, it's not that you have been growing up in the base of the origin and don't understand where this place is, and you deliberately said the origin of the Yan family. It's not that I want to delay time, I have to drag you behind your back, in fact, I don't have any other means. ”

"I just want to tell you that Yan Shuo gave you his identity card, and you are the only heir of the Yan family."
