The 100,000 troops of Great Qin have passed through Jingyang Mountain.

The army that stretched for miles shook the entire Zhongzhou, and the eyes of countless dynasties and sects were on this empire bordering the Eastern Wilderness, which was the first time in this war between the two clans that the king of a secular dynasty had a personal expedition, which was far more shocking than the suzerain of a top sect going to the battlefield in person, because the number of mortals far exceeded that of monks, and these secular dynasties were actually the core of the existence of the human race.

Emperor Shenwu of Great Qin is sixty-one years old, and he himself is also a monk of the Empty Ming Realm, although there are rumors that he reached this realm by taking pills, in fact, not only does he lack combat experience, but the realm is not stable, but one thing is very clear, he also has a long lifespan, if nothing else, at least he can sit on the throne for nearly a hundred years, so this time he risked the royal expedition to drive in person, it was indeed a surprise to many people.

After all, fire and water are ruthless, let alone the battlefield?

And then all kinds of news from Great Qin made people feel even more embarrassed by the courage of this Shenwu Emperor, he not only took away half of the top princes of Great Qin and more than half of the high-level monks in the dynasty, but also took away the miscellaneous army from the Stormy City, and every time he passed through a city along the way, he took away half of the city defense army, and ordered the three garrison armies stationed in the southeast of Great Qin to all go straight to the pass in the southeast of Great Qin.

It can be said that the southeast of the Great Qin Dynasty is empty, if someone has a bad intention, from here to do something to the Great Qin, I am afraid that it will be like entering a no-man's land, in addition, what makes many people think carefully is the crown prince Chi who has just become the regent.

There are too many lessons in history to tell the world, the regent needs to be cautious, a bad will make the dynasty overturn, turbulent, not to mention other dynasties, only Daqin himself, there was a mess in history, nine hundred years ago, there was a Great Qin Emperor toured the world, ordered the prince to supervise the government, of course, at that time was not called the regent, but gave a prison of the name of the country, the prince took this opportunity, took the opportunity to rebel, ascended the throne as the emperor, the Great Qin Emperor was still on the way, was assassinated by the assassin sent by the prince.

The subsequent outbreak of the Five Kings Rebellion plunged Great Qin into a turmoil of seventy years, with princes and princes from all walks of life competing for the world, and it was a disaster.

Daqin's army crossed Jingyang Mountain, it was not far from the border, and there was only one pass left in front of it, called Nine Snake Pass, which came from an ancient local legend, which was nothing more than the story of the nine snakes saving people, and the people were grateful for it.

Daqin and Dali are not strictly bordered, there is a large area of no man's land between the two countries, this land is quite desolate, and too flat, there is no danger to defend, both countries do not look at this place, so there is a tacit understanding to give up at the same time, as a natural buffer between the two countries, but in recent days, this wasteland is not only populated, but also can often see a lot of cavalry galloping here.

This is the only remaining part of the army of Dali, after the upside-down mountain increased the attack, even with the support of other states, Dali has become more and more difficult to support, the emperor Jiang Zhuo and the prince Jiang Rui each led a part of the army to retreat, along with the army, there are thousands of people.

And outside the Nine Snakes Pass is a general of Dali, Lu Qian.

He was originally a general stationed near Lidu, and led the remnants to retreat when the demon clan besieged Lidu, first went to Jingcheng, but soon Jingcheng was also lost, and he followed the new emperor south, but he did not expect the situation to deteriorate rapidly soon, and he was ordered to go north, so he led his 50,000 troops all the way to the outside of the Nine Snakes Pass, and started a guerrilla war with the demon clan.

After a long time here, Lu Qian and the generals of the Nine Snake Pass are also familiar with each other, not only taking a lot of supplies from the Nine Snake Pass, but even being invited to the Nine Snake Pass from time to time to drink a small wine, so Lu Qian also quickly learned about the Emperor Qin's personal conquest, which was not a small surprise for him.

"You emperor...... It's bold. It took a lot of effort for Lu Qian to suppress the words "not afraid of death" in his mouth.

The Great Qin general who stood on the city wall with him shrugged his shoulders, with pride on his face, "You don't understand this, my Great Qin established the country by force, and there has been a tradition of pro-conquest since the Holy First Emperor, although Daqin has been peaceful and has not fought in recent years, but His Majesty's heart has been looking forward to pro-conquest for a long time, after all, I was born as a Daqin man, how can I not be eager for the battlefield sword light!"

Lu Qian smiled bitterly, he looked at the sunset in the distance, "If there is a chance, Lao Tzu doesn't want to go to the battlefield at all." ”

The Great Qin generals were silent for a while, Da Li's situation was difficult, and there was a possibility of complete destruction at any time, which he knew very well, these days, he had done his best to help Lu Qian, from supplies to intelligence, there was no hiding secrets, but even so, the support that Da Li needed was far from enough.

"I have an old saying in Daqin," the general pinched the black city wall, and his voice was low, "Blood will be repaid with blood, and the blood on the hands of the demon clan will be brought back with a knife one day." ”

Lu Qian nodded, and remembered something again, "By the way, Your Majesty Shenwu...... Where are you going?"

General Daqin hesitated, "Actually, it's not a secret, many people know it, Your Majesty will lead a large army to support Jianmen." ”

"Sword Gate?" Lu Qian frowned slightly, "The Fourteenth Prince also went there the day before yesterday. ”

"Prince Jiang Rui?" The Great Qin general was stunned for a moment, he was also very familiar with Jiang Rui's name, he smiled and said, "I heard that there are three batches of monks sent by Zhongzhou to there! From Changliu Mountain to Huangting Mountain, Dazong has gone a lot, and this Sword Gate has almost become the most heavily defended place in the Eastern Wilderness." ”

Lu Qian didn't smile, he had truly understood the horror of the demon clan these days, he sighed lightly, his face was melancholy, "This shows the danger of the Sword Gate." ”

The Great Qin general was stunned, and then nodded slowly.

Soon the Nine Dragons drum sounded from the north, the north gate of the Nine Snakes Pass slowly opened, and a long line drove into the pass, and after resting for a while, a longer army roared out of the pass and headed south.

And farther away, at the end of the South Ridge, in the endless deep mountains, there was one of the tallest peaks, and at the foot of the mountain there were already countless people, and in the middle was a nine-story stone altar, on which stood ten old men, their gray hair, holding ancient sacrificial vessels in their hands, and the words they sang were extremely obscure, while all the others knelt on one knee with respectful faces.

This is an ancient barbarian sacrifice, a sacred ritual before the expedition!
