Changan.

In the study, the emperor was discussing with his ministers.

"Your Majesty, last month, the minister received a secret report sent after the approval of the embroidery, and there was a private distribution of local county money, and the minister suggested that it should be strictly banned in a timely manner, and the violators would be severely punished to avoid the flood of coinage and disturb the currency of our Han Dynasty."

It was Sang Hongyang, who was the governor of Su at the time, who spoke.

The chaos of local private minting of silver coins has begun to appear.

The embroidered clothes have the duty of inspecting the world, and will cooperate with the officials of the three ministers and nine ministers.

The emperor frowned and said, "It's up to you to follow up on this matter." I will draw up an edict and order all counties to strictly investigate. ”

Sang Hongyang respectfully agreed.

After a while, he will be promoted to one of the Nine Secretaries, the Great Si Nong, in charge of the country's finances and taxes.

The emperor resolutely prepared an edict on the desk, and immediately asked the chamberlain to take it down and spread it to all places.

The study room was quiet and busy, and the ministers came in like a marquee to report on the matter.

By noon, Dong Zhongshu and others were also invited by the emperor to discuss matters.

"Your Majesty, Huo Hou has won a great victory in the northwest this time. The minister thought that it was time to send envoys to visit the Western Regions again and proclaim the edict to all parties. ”

Dong Zhongshu said with a smile: "Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with Huo Hou's combat speed." ”

The emperor also smiled: "This is easy to do, go sick and go on the expedition, and bring Zhang Qian with you."

Zhang Qian's march with the army was able to make a more accurate judgment of the situation. I sent an edict to him to visit the countries of the Western Regions again. ”

Dahan is now immersed in an atmosphere of unprecedented joy.

Huo Quzhi's combat speed, almost from the moment he entered the battle, took over the battlefield situation, which made Chang'an's side overjoyed when he heard the news.

Because the victory of the Northwest War means that the subjugation of the Western Regions is not far away.

Previously, everyone thought that this expedition to Hexi would be a bitter battle.

However, under Huo Quai's repeated schemes, he did not have much consumption in his body, and he had already defeated all kinds of strong armies. This kind of combat record and tactical command ability have made the government and the opposition talk about it.

The emperor has also had a lot of smiles on his face these days.

At this time, the emperor was about to speak, when he suddenly turned his head to look out the window.

Dong Zhongshu immediately showed surprise and turned his head to look.

In the Champion Hou Mansion, Daozun put down his chopsticks, squinted slightly, and also looked in the direction of Weiyang Palace.

At the same moment, on the third floor of the main hall of the Embroidered Liang Garden, Qin Qingyu also looked at the adjacent Weiyang Palace, frowning slightly.

"Master?" Liu Qing noticed Qin Qingyu's abnormality and asked out loud.

At the moment when everyone gave birth to the induction one after another, outside the Weiyang Palace, a change arose.

A black halo suddenly broke out of the air and landed straight at the main gate of Weiyang Palace!

The guarded forbidden army reacted extremely quickly, and threw the halberd in his hand in the air to meet the black light that hit Weiyang Palace.

In the next moment, the bronze halberd in the forbidden army's hand came into contact with the black light and exploded with a bang.

The forbidden army who threw the halberd choked out a mouthful of blood mist under the sympathy of the qi machine, and his body fell to the ground and fainted.

The surrounding forbidden army immediately sent out a warning signal.

"The forbidden army is at ease!"

A voice rang out.

In the depths of Weiyang Palace, a hazy and blurry, shadow-like figure appeared.

This figure is the existence of the foundation level of Weiyang Palace, and he has supported the court all his life and rarely shows his face, but at this moment, he has shown his whereabouts because of this black light.

The figure grabbed the black light that broke through the air.

In the study, a figure caught the black light then appeared.

He was dressed in bronze armor, revealing his true face in the study, and he looked only about forty, but in fact he was probably older and sturdy.

It has a square face and a narrow gaze.

What is impressive is that under his skin, there seems to be some kind of spell flowing and looming.

Dong Zhongshu and the others couldn't help but secretly guess that this guard of Weiyang Palace should have cultivated a special secret technique, otherwise there would not be such a special spell under the skin.

The black light in the hand of this figure was a piece of wood similar to Jianshu, wrapped in black gas.

When everyone saw that it was a piece of wood, they were shocked.

The wood chips were projected by people and collided with the halberd of the forbidden army, knocking the bronze halberd to pieces, and the wood chips were unharmed?!

Wooden chips are engraved with words.

The janissary who came in said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, when the minister caught this wooden tablet, he heard a voice coming from the air, saying that my Han Chang'an still has some background, and I hope not to disappoint him." ”

The Praetorian Guard, dressed in bronze armor, handed the wood chips to the Emperor.

"The strength of the person who pushed this wooden tablet is only seen in the life of the minister. I am afraid that I have touched the barrier of heaven and man, and I am about to set foot in the mythical realm above heaven and man. The Praetorian Guard spoke, and disappeared again.

The emperor took the piece of wood, looked at it, and pushed it to Dong Zhongshu.

Zhang Tang, Sang Hongyang, and Minister Zhou Ping next to him also looked at it together.

But I saw that the wood chip read: "In three days, I will lead my troops to break through the Han Realm Shuofang County ......"

This is a letter of war to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the person who sent the letter of war is Ren Du.

It probably means that he will lead his army to break through the West Pass of the Han Dynasty and lead troops from Shuofang County into the Han realm three days later.

Three days in advance, it was openly informed.

"If you don't know whether you are dead or alive, you will be the first to recommend this Hun barbarian general."

Taichang Zhou Ping said: "I am a great Han and a wide range of things, famous generals such as General Wei, Champion Hou, and the rest of the three sects and nine streams of cultivators who have entered the heavens and men, and there are endless ones. He dares to openly call out for battle even if he is a brute general! ”

Dong Zhongshu felt the breath of qi contained in the wood chip in his hand, and did not say a word.

"How did this war book come about?" Some people have a low level of strength and ask for some reason.

"AirPush.

At that time, Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, threw the overlord halberd before he died, flew in the air for a day, crossed Shenzhou, and entered the ground hundreds of zhang. This piece of wood was of similar power, thrown into the palace from at least a hundred miles away, and its strength did not fail. Dong Zhongshu said.

Everyone gasped.

There are still things hundreds of miles away, how to find the right one?

If this is accidentally thrown away, won't it make a big joke?

"The Huns told me in advance that they were going to attack my Han Xiguan, is it the true and false way of the soldiers, and they can't be trusted, or does he really have this plan?"

"He is cultivating a lot of luck, and he deliberately issued a war letter in advance, aiming to use the power of my great man to form an obstacle to himself, which is a kind of tempering, in order to make a breakthrough in his cultivation and advance to a higher level."

The emperor saw through the purpose of the borage at a glance, and his tone was indifferent: "The victory or defeat of the war, in the eyes of the person who sent the war letter, is secondary." ”

The next day, Beiguan.

Shuofang County, which is almost in a straight line with Chang'an, outside the city wall.

The sky was faint, and a group of Hun soldiers and horses appeared outside the city like a ghost.

In front of the queue of more than 100 people, there stood a majestic figure with long hair scattered.

Its eyes are deep, and standing there, it seems to be able to hold up the sky, giving people a sense of infinite power, which is the borage.

He had a lot of arrangements for the battle situation of the Western Huns, but he personally led the Heavenly Soul Department, but he forced it straight to the outside of the North Pass of the Great Han.

The goal of Borage is the same as when Huo Qubing broke through the Xiongnu royal court, and he is approaching Chang'an, which is the capital of the Great Han Dynasty.

This is the belief that he was invincible in the past and cultivated. It is the same as Huo Quzhi's confidence in fighting the Xiongnu royal court at the beginning, shaking Chang'an will fundamentally hit the confidence of all Han people and the Han army.

Outside the North Pass, the borage looked at the towering city wall and raised his hand to punch.

A black fist pillar suddenly jumped out of its fist and rushed towards the city wall north of Shuofang!

Bang!

The earth shakes and the mountains shake. Outside the Beiguan city wall, the defensive array laid by the Mo family appeared instantly, and the arrays flickered, but they collapsed one after another.

Beiguan has not been forced to the city for many years.

And these defensive arrays, which were once intact in the face of the offensive of the great army, have collapsed one after another at this moment.

This punch has the power to shake the city, and it is turbulent for hundreds of miles.

On the city walls, the defenders were shocked.

"Where are the generals of Hanguan?"

Behind him was a hundred-man army that acted as his pro-army.

And beside him, two attendants stood on the left and on the right.

One of them was tall and thin, with a bronze complexion, and said in a longitudinal voice: "I will stay here for a day and break the border city of the Han people tomorrow!"

In one day, if the Han generals or the strong Han people can defeat our division, they can stop fighting. The 30,000 Heavenly Soul Elite under the command of our division will withdraw from the battlefield of the Han-Hungarian war! ”

Shuo Fang's current guard is named Yu Ji, middle-aged, who can be stationed at the border of the Han Dynasty, and is also a general.

After he got the report, he rushed to the head of the city, and when he looked out of the city, he felt that his scalp was numb.

Although there are only more than 100 Huns outside the city, they are lined up.

But this Xiongnu tribe seems to be filled with black mist, which is very weird.

They stood there, at first glance there were only 100 people, but the more they looked at it, they actually felt that there were more people, and it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the false.

And the rhythm of the black qi on those subordinates is even more illusory.

Yu Ji looked at it twice, and he was a little dizzy.

The head of the borage is standing there, and the figure is eye-catching, and it is as tall as a majestic peak.

Yu Ji's gaze fell on him, and he needed to look up to see the figure of Borage.

This feeling is extremely bizarre.

Yu Ji stood at the head of the city, which should have overlooked the borage outside the city, but at a glance, he felt that the borage was taller than the city wall.

The torque formed by this visual contrast shocked Yu Ji inexplicably.

He knew that this was the cultivation of the soul of Borage, far above him, and the fusion with heaven and earth, and the influence on him was an illusion.

Yu Ji immediately ordered the release of arrows to drive away the Xiongnu troops.

Arrows rained down at the head of the city, but if the black gas emitted by the Huns was suction, the arrows fell into it, and the lethality was sharply reduced.

The Huns were unharmed.

The borage looked up under the city, and his eyes pierced like a sharp sword of substance.

Yu Ji immediately felt a strong palpitation, and hurriedly took a step back, hiding behind the city wall, avoiding the eye with Borage.

Li Guang came in a hurry from Dingxiang County in the afternoon.

At the head of the city, the sun slanted westward.

Li Guang was dressed in a big coat and armor, and he was looking out of the city.

His steps swayed back and forth at the head of the city, and anger was hidden on his face.

The other party came to show off his might outside the city, and General Li's violent temper had the urge to go out and teach the other party to be a man in person.

Immediately after, someone from Chang'an of the Han Dynasty also rushed over.

Including Dong Zhongshu, Jiang Yan of the Yin and Yang family, and the guards of the Weiyang Palace.

Even Daozun and Qin Qingyu were also very quiet and moved, and came with the crowd.

Dao Zun looked at the capital of the city at the head of the city, looked at it for a moment, and said solemnly: "This person's popularity and blood are prosperous, and his cultivation is high, which is really rare. ”

There was a sound of footsteps in the rear, and Wei Qing, who came from Bohai County, also came to Shuofang with his front and back feet.

Wei Qing climbed to the top of the city: "Why did you all rush over?" ”

Dong Zhongshu said slowly: "Before this person appeared in Beiguan, he pushed a message to Chang'an and openly informed him that he was coming to attack my Han Beiguan.

His Majesty was also furious at such an arrogant person, and sent someone to kill this fang!

I'll take a look too. ”

"This move is indeed unexpected."

Wei Qing glanced outside the city: "I look at the soldiers behind him, it should be the famous Hun Heavenly Soul Department, its practice is a kind of common soul method, the breath gathers, can chill the enemy's courage, and seize people's minds."

Ordinary soldiers who fight with them will be greatly affected.

No wonder this Heavenly Soul Department was invincible in the past! ”

Wei Qing's words fell, and he suddenly heard the majestic voice of the borage from outside the city: "It is Wei Qing, a famous Han general, who can see through the cultivation of the Heavenly Soul under my command at a glance, you are the first!"

I heard that you are a famous general who rose up of the Han people after I went north to the polar regions, how about coming down to fight with me? ”

"The general must not be fooled." Daozun reminded.

Wei Qing is the first general of the Han army, and he definitely has no reason to compete with others and fight alone.

And Wei Qing is not a famous general, yes, but he is not known for his personal force.

This has nothing to do with the level of the soldier's cultivation.

Personal force and cultivation level are important reference directions, but they are not absolute.

Some famous generals also practiced Confucianism and were called Confucian generals. The soldier's cultivation is also very high, but his personal courage may not be able to defeat some opponents who are lower in rank than him and specialize in the way of killing.

"If someone in the Han Dynasty is better than my master, he will lead his troops to withdraw and no longer participate in the Han-Hungarian dispute.

In this way, a killing can be avoided and the Han and Hungarian sides can reduce consumption. Otherwise, we will wait for the 30,000 Heavenly Soul Tribe, and you will know where to arrange it now?

Can someone come down to fight my division? ”

When the attendant beside Borage said this, his starting point was immediately different, no longer a personal struggle, but rose to the level of victory or defeat in war.

"Your Majesty said that he invited all parties to fight, not to fight for the victory or defeat on the surface. Instead, he is pursuing a breakthrough in the strength of the realm, using my Han cultivator as a stepping stone to nourish his cultivation qi.

In addition, if it can win, it will be a very heavy blow to the morale of our Han army! Dong Zhongshu said.

"Does he really think he can be invincible?"

Li Guang looked disdainful, and said in a loud voice: "That barbarian general, do you dare to take my three arrows?"

If you can take me three arrows, I will go down and fight you, and I will take you three punches, what do you think? ”

Li Guang was thick and fine, and asked to shoot three arrows first.

He was sure that he would shoot the other party to death.

Even if he can't, with his bravery, he won't be afraid to fight with Borage.

Borage looked up at Li Guang and said, "Your left arm is slightly thicker than your right arm, and the power of the veins is also better than that of your right arm, it seems that you have practiced left-handed arrows." I look at your soul, there is still a sharp energy, and the archery skills are not bad.

You can do it! ”

Li Guang was taken aback.

This brute is not wrong in his judgment at all, and he is sure to be true.

"You're ready!"

Li Guang's face became solemn, and a longbow appeared in his hand like a cloud, and he pulled the bow and opened the arrow, shooting out three arrows like a meteor.

His three arrows are the secret archery skills of the Li family!

The arrow came out, and the trajectory was invisible, only three points of light were seen, connected into a line.

The best thing is the three-point shimmer, because the force of the shot is different, it collides with each other in mid-air, and there are changes after the shot, and the position is offset, so that people can't grasp the landing point at all.

The speed of the arrow is as fast as a flying star and lightning.

At this point, archery skills have exhausted archery changes.

No wonder Li Guang was confident, the other party couldn't dodge his arrows.

The walls are all masters, and when they saw Li Guang's archery skills, they all applauded in their hearts.

However, the borage reached out in front of him, and the three arrows suddenly disappeared spiritually, and fell into his hands, like a milk swallow throwing himself into his arms.

Li Guang's archery technique, three arrows in a row, contains enough edge to break armor, but it is understated in his hands.

At the head of the city, everyone's eyes were shrunk.

At the same moment, a black light suddenly jumped out in front of Li Guang and blasted towards the door in front of him.

Li Guang was already accumulating strength after taking out the arrow, and he was not afraid, and in the violent sound, the qi machine poured out of his fist and met the black light.

The two gas engines collided and exploded, and strangely no sound came out.

There was a moment of stagnation as if time had frozen.

Li Guang withdrew his hand and stood, not seeing much abnormality on his face, but in the blink of an eye, his body shook slightly, his eyes were closed, and he fainted on his back.

This shot made Dong Zhongshu, Jiang Yan, and Daozun's faces sink at the same time.

The guard, who had a mysterious origin in Weiyang Palace, took a deep breath and said, "I'll go." ”

Its armor glowed, and it stepped out of the city, and the next moment it appeared in front of Borage!

……

In the camp, Huo Qubing was issuing military orders and making arrangements for the follow-up marching strategy.

When the generals were ordered to leave, the temporary tent was quiet.

Huo Quzhi turned around and came to the window, looked at the direction of Dahan Beiguan, and said, "Someone!" ”

Ps: Today it is still more than 9,000 words plus more ~ ask for a ticket.
