In the fortieth year of Zhengming, on February 25, Xiliangzhou fell. The 100,000-strong army was crushed at the first touch, and Qin Quan, the king of Jin, was nowhere to be found, and Li Chen, the governor of Xiliang, and Chen Han, the chief military officer, surrendered. The day after receiving the news, the eastern capital was under martial law, and the military department urgently ordered the general officers of the remaining states to shrink their forces and move closer to the Xilingkou line. At the same time, the cabinet drafted that after Emperor Zheng approved the red, he was promoted to Ding Shiguang, the political envoy of Shaanzhou, as the governor of Xihe, overseeing the military and political power of Xihe Prefecture and Shaanzhou, and personally guarding the Dayi Mansion to prevent the Northwest Army from entering Zhili Prefecture by taking advantage of the situation.

After receiving the holy decree, the newly appointed governor of Xihe, Ding Shiguang, immediately rushed to the important town of Dayi Mansion in Xiongguan, and Jin Yu, the guard general of Dayi Mansion, led an army to meet him. After a hurried reception banquet, Jin Yu, who was already the third grade, was polite and asked to see Ding Shiguang, who was already the governor of the second grade.

After receiving this holy decree for promotion, Ding Shiguang noticed that the situation seemed to be a little beyond expectations, and he was already a little uneasy in his heart, and when Jin Yu, a veteran general on the battlefield, was also impatient to see him, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious.

Looking at Jin Yu, who wanted to speak again and again, Ding Shiguang, who had already achieved the ultimate in local civil officials, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "If you have anything to say, General Jin doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Jin Yu sighed lightly and said: "Then the lower official will also say bluntly, since the governor is in charge of the Great Yi Mansion, then the lower official will first talk to the Governor about the Great Yi Mansion, our Great Easy Mansion is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the strategic location is extremely important, there are two roads from the northwest to the east, one is from the Xiling Pass into Zhili Prefecture, and the other is from our Great Yi Mansion, facing the 200,000 Heavenly Son of Heaven's army. To tell the truth, if Xiao Northwest is determined to leave from Dayi Mansion, with our current troops, we can only defend the city, and we don't have to think about blocking the Northwest Iron Cavalry. ”

Ding Shiguang frowned and was silent, and Jin Yu continued: "Our Dazheng once built a large pier on the northwest line, one pier in three miles, one in five miles, and in critical places such as our Dayi Mansion, it is even more one mile and one pier, but there has been no war in the northwest for a long time, and most of them have been in a state of semi-desertion. I can't count on it, if Xiao Wei's army passes through our Dayi Mansion, no matter whether or not he can defeat the 200,000 pro-army of the Son of Heaven of the Governor of Qin, the Governor and the subordinate officials will not be able to run away from a charge of dereliction of duty. ”

Ding Shiguang was silent for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "It's a good northwest rebellion, but in just one year, he will unify the grassland and defeat Xu Lin's 500,000 Northwest Army. ”

Speaking of this, Ding Shiguang took out a newspaper from his sleeve, handed it to Jin Yu, and said: "You already know the news of the fall of Xiliangzhou, what is written here is the specific details, Xiao Yu first uprooted the elite troops arranged by His Royal Highness the King of Jin in the Xiliang Corridor, and then Xiao Yu and Xu Lin personally led an army of 150,000 troops to drive straight into Dunhuang City. The 100,000 troops in Dunhuang City were crushed at the touch of a button, and countless people descended, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin still does not know whether he is alive or dead, and his whereabouts are unknown. The governor of Xiliang and the general army of Xiliang have already surrendered. ”

Jin Yu said bitterly: "In this way, since the governor Xu Lin, not to mention the low-grade officials and generals, that is, the feudal officials above the third grade, including Xu Lin, there are as many as six people who have surrendered, if everyone fights to the death, how can there be a corrupt situation in the northwest today?"

Ding Shiguang showed a gloomy expression and sighed: "Lan Yu, the secret guard of the Northwest Inspector of the third grade, Xu Lin, the governor of the central capital of the first grade, Li Chen, the governor of Xiliang of the second grade, Chen Han, the chief soldier of the Xiliang who was crowned with the title of the governor of the second grade of the Xiliang capital, the right governor of the central capital of the second grade, and Han Xiong, the commander of the cavalry of the third grade, all descended to Xiao. Of course, there were also countless casualties in the First Battle of the Northwest, and as far as I know, there were four governors, two governors were all killed in battle, and the rest of the lieutenants were innumerable. I, Ding Shiguang, have received the grace of the country, and if the city is broken, I dare not survive. ”

Jin Yu closed the newspaper in his hand, his face was resolute, and he said solemnly: "The last general swears to live and die with Dayi." ”

......

After taking Xiliangzhou into his hands, Xiao Yu left Lan Yu and Min Xing to be in charge of the affairs of Xiliang Prefecture, Li Chen and Chen Han remained unchanged in their official positions, assisting Lan Yu and Min Xing in completing the aftermath, while Xu Lin was ready to go and approached the border of Xihe Prefecture.

As for Xiao Yu, it was the light car Jane who returned to Zhongdu.

Previously, Qiu Si did say where the ancestral court of Buddhism was, after all, he was the last descendant of the Molun Temple, and the Molun Temple used to be a lineage of Buddhism. And the location of the ancestral court of Buddhism is also greatly unexpected by Xiao Yu, several major sects in the cultivation world, the Sword Sect is lonely and hangs overseas to defend the country, the King Kong Temple enjoys wealth and glory in Baozhu, the Molun Temple is located in the grassland, the Taoist Sect stands in the southeast, the Demon Sect dominates the building, and the Tianji Pavilion occupies the eastern capital. And the ancestral court of Buddhism is actually in the northeast of Dazheng, that is, within the jurisdiction of the governor and shepherd of the northern capital.

It seems that the governor of the northern capital can form his own family between Houjian and Dazheng, and there must be Buddhism behind him, not to mention that the shepherd is a Buddhist person from the beginning.

Xiao Yu took a look at the location of the ancestral garden of Buddhism on the map, which is roughly located in a continuous group of mountains, the mountains are high and dense, and the people are inaccessible. Then Xiao Yu marked the approximate locations of the Dao Sect, the Sword Sect, the Demon Sect, the Buddha Gate, and the Molun Temple on the map, connecting the dots into a line, which could just be connected into an irregular circle. From the Taoist sect to the sea to the Sword Sect, then from the Sword Sect to cross the sea into the Houjian, from the back into the grassland, from the grassland to the northwest, then from the northwest to the northeast, and finally from the northeast back to the southeast Daozong.

Referring to the sequence of several things that happened after Zi Shuiyang said that the real person of the palm sect went down the mountain, Xiao Yu had to sigh secretly in his heart, the real person of the palm sect is really a good means. After just walking around, the world of cultivation has been turned upside down.

Among the new three religions, Xiao Yu has the most contact with the Taoist Gate, followed by the Demon Gate, but the Buddhism Gate has always had the least contact.

This sect, which ranks second, is too mysterious in the cultivation world. Xiao Yu made up his mind that before pacifying the northwest, he would not think about Buddhism.

Xiao Yu did not alarm anyone to return to the Zhongdu Palace, and found Lin Yinping in the small courtyard where you can climb high and look far away, today's Lin Yinping is a little different from the past, a little less beautiful, a little more graceful, a little powder, a simple bun on his head, shake it with one step, and wear an eyebrow pendant on his forehead.

Lin Yinping first silently circled around Xiao Yu, and when he saw that Xiao Yu was fine, he smiled and said, "Why did you listen to me so much this time, and didn't run to fight with others to the death?"

Xiao Yu stretched out two fingers, slowly combed the two strands of green silk hanging from Lin Yinping's chest, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you will feel distressed." ”

Lin Yinping glanced at him very unceremoniously and snorted, "You still know." ”

Xiao Yu looked at Lin Yinping and lowered his eyebrows a few times, the so-called woman is the one who pleases herself, Lin Yinping immediately asked, "How is it?"

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and stroked it, the eyebrow pendant was made of unknown materials, it was cool but not cold, and there was a faint flow of vitality, such strange things were not common in the cultivation world, and they were mostly used to make pure heart and tranquility magic weapons, and they were simply made into a decorative eyebrow pendant, which was inevitably suspected of tyrannical celestial objects in the eyes of cultivators.

Xiao Yu looked at the beauty in front of him carefully, even though he had seen all the so-called four beauties, and Lin Yinping had known him for more than a year, it still made Xiao Yu feel heart-pounding at this moment.

Xiao Yu didn't speak, but the undisguised look on his face had already made Lin Yinping smile very happily.

After laughing, Xiao Yu asked, "Where did this come from? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Lin Yinping stretched out his hand to take off the eyebrow pendant on his forehead, put it on the palm of his hand, and said disapprerovitically: "It was sent by Lin Han, and it was given to him by Chen Han, the chief soldier of Xiliang Prefecture, but he didn't have any favorite woman, so he used it to honor my sister." ”

Xiao Yu's eyes froze, but his face was still pleasant: "He has a heart." ”

When it came to his younger brother, Lin Yinping was still more concerned, and asked, "This expedition, Lin Han didn't make any mistakes, right?"

Xiao Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "This guy is smarter than you, don't worry about him." ”

Lin Yinping sighed softly, as if he was in a trance, and sat on the chair and said softly: "Yes, I remember that he always got into trouble when he was a child, and every time he asked me to go to my father to intercede, how did my kung fu change so much in just a few years......"

I don't know what I remembered, Lin Yinping suddenly felt a little excited, and sighed lightly, "Brother and sister, your younger brother Xiao Jin, I will arrange him in the west Qingsuo Courtyard, you go and have a look, I'm a little tired, so I won't accompany you over." ”

Xiao Yu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally just said softly: "You have just recovered from a serious illness, so rest well." ”

Xiao Yu walked alone to the Qingsuo Courtyard.

Brothers and sisters.
