"Who are you?"

In the face of Gu Yan's words, the Hei Zhuang general frowned, with a solemn look on his face, and asked cautiously.

Perhaps it was due to the sensitivity of the soldiers, and the black strong general smelled a dangerous aura from Gu Yan's calm expression.

"You don't have to know who I am, you just have to answer!"

Where does Gu Yan have time to talk nonsense with him, this connivance with his subordinates to grab food, causing the people to complain and complain, it is no accident, Gu Yan sensitively feels that there must be something strange in it.

However, Gu Yan may have skipped the proud nature of a soldier, even if he has some heartfelt fear of Gu Yan, but under such words, if he doesn't do something, he is afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public.

Suddenly, anger rose from his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts, and the black strong general turned his gun and pointed directly at Gu Yan's door.

"Whoa!"

"Uhhhh

The dark spear, coupled with the strong arms of the black general, stabbed straight towards Gu Yan with a fierce momentum, and suddenly there was a burst of boos.

However, the next scene made everyone tremble and shocked for a while.

Facing the black man's powerful shot, Gu Yan casually raised the chopsticks in his hand and pointed slightly into the air against the tip of the opponent's sharp gun.

"Sting!"

A tearing sound rang out.

The spear of the black general, starting from the tip of the spear, seemed to be melted, instantly turned into powder, and gradually spread up along the body of the spear.

"Bo-bo-!"

A dull popping sound rang out.

The dark armor on the black strong general's body was disintegrated in an instant, exploded out of thin air and disappeared, leaving not even a single piece of dust behind.

The whole wine shop could be heard falling pins, and everyone had their mouths wide open and never closed for a long time.

As for the black general, he still maintained the posture of spear assassination, and the whole person was frozen in place, as if time was frozen.

Only the 'crunch' sound of Gu Yan slowly chewing the beef in his mouth.

This sound, in a liquor shop where pins can be heard, sounds particularly harsh and chilling.

"Ugh!"

After half a ring, the stiff black strong general woke up as if in a dream, his body was stunned, he came to his senses, stretched out his trembling hands, kept groping on his body, and slapped himself a few times.

He turned his head to look at the dozen or so soldiers accompanying him, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, as if to confirm to everyone whether he was still alive.

From the pain on his face, as well as the expressions on everyone's faces, the black strong general found that he was still alive, his face could not hide the look of horror, turned his head to look at Gu Yan, and suddenly fell to the ground, "Thank you for the grace of the young man not to kill!"

"If you don't kill you, I hope you will kill more enemies on the battlefield, not for other reasons, I will keep you for the time being, if you can't make up for it, I will take it!"

Gu Yan was still eating unhurriedly, and he didn't look at the other party from beginning to end.

Not to mention these soldiers, even martial artists such as Liu Yun and Xiao Zhanwang were terrified in their hearts after seeing Gu Yan's methods.

The other party is just a general in the army, and for a warrior, it is not difficult to kill him, but the difficulty is that Gu Yan only used a pair of bamboo chopsticks to smash the weapon armor made by the opponent's King Kong.

Moreover, this is not the most difficult, the most difficult thing is to smash the opponent's armor without harming the opponent's body, this degree of true qi, as well as the degree of control of true qi, is by no means comparable to ordinary martial artists.

Liu Yun thinks that he can't do it, and King Xiao Zhan can't do it, in the entire Jiuyang Kingdom, the King of Chaoyang is still unknown, in addition, I am afraid that I can't find a third master like this who can do it to such an extent.

"The lesson of the young man is that the last general will remember it in his heart, and he will definitely kill more enemies on the battlefield, and then die!"

As a general who has been fighting all year round, how can he not see the interests of Gu Yan, and when he heard Gu Yan's words, he blamed himself again and again, vowing to kill the enemy bravely.

"Can you answer my question now?" asked Furuhiko.

"The villain Zhang Fei is a deputy general of the Northern Expeditionary Army personally ordered by the imperial court, directly under General Wei, and ordered to rush to the border pass!"

Hearing Gu Yan ask again, the black strong general said a few words.

"Which General Wei?"

Hearing Zhang Fei's answer, Gu Yan's eyes twisted, and a murderous aura appeared on his body.

"Wei ...... General Wei Lan!"

Zhang Fei replied cautiously.

The soldier's sense of inscription made him feel the murderous aura on Gu Yan's body at that moment, which was a kind of perception that had been honed on the battlefield for a long time.

People like Zhang Fei, if they didn't have such a strong perception, they would not have survived on the battlefield until now.

"Hehe, it's really unrepentant!"

Gu Yan's eyes let out a sneer with a cold gaze, "I am also about to go to the border pass, so I will go with you, get up!"

"This ...... Dare to ask the young man what is this ......"

Hearing Gu Yan's words, Zhang Fei's heart twisted, and he couldn't help but think, "Who is this young man, he is not a soldier, how can he get into the border?"

"Bold! Wei Guogong is here, don't see you yet!"

Just when Zhang Fei's face was entangled, Liu Yun scolded on the side.

Since Gu Yan has already stated that he wants to go to the border together, he intends to reveal his identity, and besides, this is also a matter of time, and it is impossible for Gu Yan to say it in person, so he will do it for him.

"Wei ...... Wei Guogong?"

Hearing Liu Yun's words, Zhang Fei was stunned again, "Could it be that it is Lord Guyan, the Duke of Weiguo who was personally given by the emperor?"

As he spoke, Zhang Fei and his entourage knelt down again, their expressions of horror mixed with a look of remorse. Kohiko may not be known to many people, but his name, as well as the battle of the capital, have long been famous.

At this moment, he was shocked to hear Gu Yan's true identity, and immediately bowed to him.

"Get up, get on the road later, and tell me more about it!"

Gu Yan didn't blame Liu Yun for revealing his true identity, although he didn't blame him, so he beckoned Zhang Fei and the others to get up.

Gu Yan hated Wei Lan for conniving at his subordinates for doing so, but Gu Yan was not a blind person.

If you want to weigh the other party's mistakes, you must let go of your previous grievances and objectively judge their mistakes, otherwise it is inevitable that there will be extremes. The reason why this is so, Gu Yan sensitively perceives that there may be hidden secrets in this.

Wei Lan, as a guilty body, was ordered to go north, and he must go all out to atone for his crimes. Such an act of conniving at subordinates to steal food should not have happened.

What's more, the border is in an emergency, and the imperial court will definitely not disrupt the army's morale by not paying food, grass, and military salaries.

So, why did the Northern Expeditionary Army grab food, and where was the imperial court's military salary?

These are the keys to Guhiko's clarification.

Otherwise, once you are on the battlefield, people's hearts will be chaotic, exhausted and decayed.

Due to Gu Yan's timely stopping, this grain rush came to an end, and some of the materials that were grabbed before were also returned to the merchants.

In order to prevent the same incident of grain robbery by other armies in the future, Gu Yan ordered Zhang Fei to leave hundreds of soldiers stationed here in order to convey Gu Yan's ban to the other troops passing by.

On the other hand, these hundreds of sergeants have been specially selected to build a military intelligence transmission station on the spot in case of emergency.

Gu Yan accompanied the Northern Expeditionary Army led by Zhang Fei and marched towards the border pass all the way.

Along the way, Gu Yan ate and lived with all the soldiers, and established a deep affection for each other.

Gu Yan's noble status and rank as the prince of the country, and being able to share weal and woe with these lowly sergeants, in addition to being moved by everyone, the tense relationship between them has also been greatly eased.

In particular, Zhang Fei was in a hot fight with Guta, and from time to time taught Guta some experience on the battlefield.

Zhang Fei's Northern Expeditionary Army is subordinate to the Third Route Army, with a total of 300,000 people, and the first two armies, led by Wei Lan himself, have set off half a month ago, and should have arrived at the border at this moment.

As for why the food and salary of the Northern Expeditionary Army did not arrive in time, Zhang Fei did not know.

Gu Yan has a considerable amount of food on his body, even if it is these 300,000 soldiers, it is not a problem to eat for a month, but it is impossible for Gu Yan to consume this limited material here.

Therefore, after entering the cold thousands of miles of wasteland, all the sergeants have less than ten catties of food, and according to the amount of one catty per person per day, it can only support ten days.

According to the daily journey of more than 100 miles, to cross this thousand miles of wasteland, I am afraid that when I reach the border pass, there is not much ration left. What's more, this ration of one pound per person per day is the lowest limit, and in this cold wasteland, the consumption itself is large, and this ration is even more dwarfed.

However, the soldiers were different from the warriors, so they couldn't hurry up, and Gu Yan was anxious about the situation at the border pass, and there was no other way.

After thinking about it, Gu Yan had to speed up the first move, after all, the entire battle situation was important, and he couldn't drag it out here for ten days or eight days, only to increase the changes.

Leaving a little grain and grass, Gu Yan and Liu Yun and the three of them hurriedly marched towards the border pass.

Two days later, Gu Yan and his entourage of four crossed the thousands of miles of wasteland and arrived at the border pass to guard the city, Yangguan.

This Yangguan is a naturally formed group of mountains, stretching thousands of miles of border, bordering Wuding State.

These thousands of miles of border, the mountains are intricately connected, and the only three passages are all built passes, that is to say, whether it is out of the customs or into the customs, there can only be these three passes between the two countries.

The natural geographical conditions have brought geographical advantages to the defense of Jiuyang Kingdom.

Outside the pass, the border guards of the two countries gathered for 300 miles.

However, within these 300 miles, there is the free zone. There are dozens of state cities of all sizes in it, and each of the two countries occupies 16 states according to the pattern of being divided into two.

At this time, Wuding State had already extended its tentacles into the free zone and won the 16 states that originally belonged to Jiuyang State.

What is more critical is that after taking these 16 states, Wudingguo still did not give up, trying to seize our pass, and completely pushed the country's border forward for hundreds of miles.

The benefits of this move are threefold.

First, by seizing the Yangguan Pass, Wudingguo will completely pocket this free zone and expand its own frontier; second, once the other party's conspiracy succeeds, it will inevitably guard Yangguan with heavy troops, and then the Jiuyang Kingdom will face a flat landform of thousands of miles of wasteland without danger to defend, and the entire country will be opened.

At that time, the Jiuyang Kingdom can only avoid the Qianli Wasteland, and retreat to the border town to re-fortify, which is equivalent to turning this Qianli Wasteland into another free zone.

What's more important is that the Jiuyang Kingdom, which has lost Yangguan, is completely in a passive situation in the defense of Wuding State, and if it wants to recapture Yangguan, it is afraid that it will have to pay a thousandfold price.

At the same time, the entire Jiuyang Kingdom was completely passive in the face of the economic and trade between the two countries of Wuding State.

Looking at the overall situation, Yangguan must be kept alive.

Even if you lose 16 states, as long as Yangguan is not lost, you will be able to regain it sooner or later.

Wu Dingguo obviously saw this clearly, so he wanted to go all out to crusade against the border passes, and this move was known to everyone with a clear eye.
