Chapter 234: 200,000 Heroes in the West
Gansu and Ningxia were broken, and the city was slaughtered, leaving no one behind!
The 200,000 heroes in the west encroached on the border passes, trying to destroy the northern iron wall that Zhengyang had worked hard to build for hundreds of years!
There was a huge earthquake in the court, and Emperor Xuyang's desire to drive the expedition was stopped by the hundred officials.
Qin Guogong led 100,000 iron horsemen to set off five days ago, but it still takes three days to reach Ningxia Town!
Emperor Xuyang was angry, Mi Yusong persuaded hard, and finally the southern army of the palace commanded Jiang Chong to take the initiative to ask for help, and led 100,000 troops to Bashu, and together with his division Wu Guogong, he destroyed the Duke of Shu and cut off the lifeblood of Westerners!
Emperor Xuyang thought for a long time, and then agreed!
Because Emperor Xuyang believed that Qin Guogong would be able to resist the 200,000 heroes of the West, and he also believed that the remaining border soldiers could work together to help Zhengyang resist this wave of attacks from the Westerners!
Jiang Chong and Wu Guogong, a pair of master and apprentice, also made a military order on the spot, vowing to take the Duke of Shu first.
And brought the land of Bashu, the military flag of the rebel army to the border pass, and also dealt a heavy blow to the Westerners from the psychological level.
In the next half a year, until the border pass was covered with heavy snow, Wu Guogong and Jiang Chong also completed the military order made on the court that day, and beheaded the Duke of Shu on the border of Bashu.
I don't know why the Duke of Shu led all the rebels in Bashu to try to make meritorious contributions in a battle this time, and all of them gathered at the border of Bashu, with 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers were full of food.
But after this battle, the leaders of the rebels such as the Duke of Shu were all ambushed, and after the final statistics of the battle losses, it was found that the officers and soldiers of Bashu had only been injured by less than 100,000, and the remaining 200,000 were all captured by the Duke of Wu!
And Wu Guogong has never been in the habit of killing captives, so these people were escorted to Huguang to wait for the court's fate.
Of course, in order to win this battle, Wu Guogong spent a lot, and he was full of gray hair in just half a year, if it weren't for the support of a personal disciple by his side, I am afraid that he would have died of exhaustion on the battlefield.
This battle can be described as the most exhausting battle in Wu Guogong's life, and he has never spent such a huge amount of energy.
After the class teacher returned to the court, Wu Guogong became seriously ill, and Emperor Xuyang also sent people to visit, and even sent the entire Tai Hospital, and the imperial doctors unanimously determined that Wu Guogong was in his last years, and at most he would support it for two or three years.
But this is still under recuperation, and if you think too much, it is estimated that you will not be able to bear it for a few days.
As a result, the whole dynasty fell into a kind of grief.
Under such circumstances, above the court, some people said that the Duke of Shu was aware of the crime he had committed, so he asked for a dead end and spared the 200,000 Bashu army and the people in Bashu.
But a group of veterans came out and killed the person who said such things directly in the court.
Wu Guogong made great efforts to keep Bashu's army of 200,000, but Zhengyang's army only lost less than 50,000.
If you don't look at the process and only look at the results, how can you make these villains believe it.
Obviously, it was Wu Guogong who rebelled with the Duke of Shu in order to retain the people of Zhengyang to a greater extent, regardless of whether they rebelled with the Duke of Shu and pointed the sword soldiers at their own clan. They're all still Hermes-Epitek!
And Westerners are alien!
This is no longer a struggle for national interests, but a national dispute!
Most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including Emperor Xuyang, were absolutely not allowed to come out to slander Wu Guogong.
Emperor Xuyang angrily ordered a strict investigation of the person who was killed, and as a result, many people were involved!
Except for these villains, most of the rest of the people admired Wu Guogong, and the people also spread the word of mouth, saying that Wu Guogong deserved to be a contemporary military god.
On the other side, the situation of Qin Guogong at the border pass is even more tragic than that of Wu Guogong, and the 100,000 iron cavalry brought by Qin Guogong is now less than 20,000, 80,000 iron cavalry plus hundreds of thousands of border soldiers. More than half of them died.
The 80,000 iron horsemen under the command of the Duke of Qin were almost buried in a battle.
The border was fought for half a year. Qin Guogong accomplished his goal, held the border pass, and did not let the Westerners cross the border pass one step.
But it was a very painful price, and the 80,000 iron cavalry in exchange for less than 20,000 Westerners lost in battle.
If you want to talk about the battle loss ratio, the iron cavalry under the command of the most powerful Qin Guogong has paid nearly five times the price to be able to take down the Westerners, according to this ratio, does the 200,000 Western Lion Zhengyang side need to pay an army of nearly a million people to be able to compete with it?
And it must be the most elite troops like the iron cavalry under the command of the Duke of Qin.
For half a year, above the court, everyone's mood is very heavy.
The reason is simple. Westerners are just too strong.
Moreover, judging from the news transmitted by intelligence from all sides, the country, land area, resources, and population of the West are far more than Zhengyang.
If it weren't for the internal strife of the company, I'm afraid Zhengyang would have a chance.
It is precisely because of the bad news that has been coming like this for half a year that some villains in the court have begun to slander.
These people are all cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death, and only they will slander and slander national heroes like Wu Guogong.
Fortunately, the whole country is working hard to collect resources, and if there is really a war, there will be no shortage of soldiers or resources in a short period of time.
The most important thing at the moment is to win a battle.
Wu Guogong cut off the head of Shu Guogong and took the land of Bashu. Of course, it's a victory.
It also greatly lifted the hearts of the military and civilians in the DPRK and China.
But although all the forces of the Duke of Shu have been dismantled, the land of Bashu has not been able to be recaptured now, because the people who really rule the land of Bashu have become Westerners.
For a long time, Westerners have already carried out an inner baptism in the land of Bashu, and the best way for Westerners to attack the heart has been secretly carried out in the land of Bashu for many years, and the people of Bashu have been brainwashed to a large extent.
Even the remaining group that was not brainwashed was sent to the battlefield or disappeared in various conspiracies.
It can be said that more than half of the millions of people in the land of Bashu believe in Western religion.
Believe in the head of the church in the mouth of the West.
And the Eastern Branch of the Holy See was also formally established in the land of Bashu.
even formed a Holy Knights of the Holy See composed of Zhengyang people and folk warriors.
Although the number is less than 500 people, such a Western army composed of Easterners is a psychological shock and breakthrough for the people of Bashu.
According to the information sent back by the spies from all sides, there is almost no possibility that the land of Bashu can be recaptured.
Either let it exist, or destroy it completely.
There seems to be no other way to go other than these two paths.
In the past six months, the situation in the world has changed so much, and Liu Xin went to the Beiban Grassland alone to find the traces of his brothers and sisters, and missed the order, and he was lost in the vast grassland.
Not to mention that the grasslands are now under the rule of Westerners.
Westerners wear huge boots on their feet that allow them to walk on the grasslands even when it snows, and they have a lot of equipment to help them transport their heavy and massive armaments.
Liu Xin had seen a transport team stretching for miles from afar, using a simple tool made of a few wooden planks to carry very heavy supplies to walk on the snow.
Through this, Liu Xin is almost certain that there must be extremely cold weather similar to that on the grasslands in the west.
For the understanding of Westerners, Zhengyang has always been in a backward state.
It can be said that this backwardness is not a star and a half, but a long way off.
Judging by the power that Westerners are showing so far, it may not be their limit.
Where this limit is, Liu Xin can't say.
However, in the past half a year on the grassland, Liu Xin has wasted the whole time.
He found almost no traces of authenticity on the grasslands, including the secret signals left by the secret investigation team, or traces of large-scale life on the grasslands, or the movements created by powerful individual warriors on the grasslands.
None of the signs could be found in the steppe.
It was as if the Holy Sect had not come to the grassland.
This inevitably made Liu Xin wonder if the information obtained by Mi Yusong was accurate and whether he really knew where they were.
Could it be that these brothers and sisters of the Holy Sect did not come to the grassland?
In fact, Liu Xin's guess was very correct, the Holy Sect had never been to the grassland, and everything was arranged by the old man of the Holy Sect before he died.
What Liu Xin didn't know was that his master, the legendary Holy Sect Master, had already died of illness at this moment.
Now in charge of the Holy Sect is his eldest disciple, Tiger Zhao Shixiong.
As for why Liu Xin was left behind, it was because his master Wei Chi Xizhong became more and more incomprehensible to this disciple.
He even thought that Liu Xin had threatened the future development plans of the Holy Sect.
In the face of such a disciple, on his deathbed, he chose to abandon ruthlessly, of course, there is also the influence of Sun Long, everyone does not know that Sun Long is actually the grandson of the Holy Sect Master, the world thinks that the Holy Sect Master has no heirs, but in fact, his heirs have already died in the secret confrontation with Emperor Wu City.
His only son was the supreme leader of the covert investigation team.
was beheaded by Shangguan Ba himself.
The moment he saw his son's head, everything that happened now was already predestined.
Of course, he would not have known that his son's head had been cut off by his own grandson, who was only a teenager at the time......
Sun Long's actions, all of which were aimed at arousing the hatred in the heart of this No. 1 think tank in the rivers and lakes, thereby influencing his judgment and choices, and guiding him step by step in a direction that he would definitely not go.
Sun Long has always been behind everything!
There is an entire mountain range in the Luoshen Mountain Villa that hides hundreds of disciples and elders at the core of the Holy Sect, and the elders are more than enough.
The Holy Sect has always followed the elite route, with elite disciples in charge of the affairs of a place.
Although the Covert Investigation Team is a well-known intelligence organization in the rivers and lakes, its strong strength and ability depend on their leader, the leader is very outstanding, plus the Holy Sect has too many individual powerful masters, under their protection, almost no one dares to do anything to the covert investigation team.
But in terms of actual intelligence capabilities, the Evil Sect case and the Wuhou of Emperor Wu City are far above the secret investigation team, and the secret investigation team can be said to have borrowed their abilities from these top masters, and that's it.
Without these top masters, the covert investigation team may just be a second-rate intelligence organization in the rivers and lakes.
Hundreds of Holy Sect disciples. Immerse yourself in the practice of Roselle Villa.
And the Holy Sect Sect Leader Chi Xizhong gathered all these disciples, elders and elders together before his life came to an end, otherwise, how could he bring those elders who had lived on the mountain for a long time down the mountain with just his order?
This is a very unreasonable thing to do.
Liu Xin also felt that this matter was unreasonable, but in the end he chose to believe in the Holy Sect Master and the influence of his master.
In fact, which of those elders is not his master's senior brother, junior brother, and even a few who have lived for a long time, and those who have entered early can already be called by Liu Xin as their master, with such a high seniority, they actually don't care too much about what the Holy Sect Sect Master says, they care more about their own thoughts.
If the Holy Sect were in real trouble, they might have stepped forward.
But at the moment, the Holy Sect didn't have any trouble.
And in such a situation, the only thing that can be used to mobilize this group of people is the fact that the Holy Sect Master is about to die, and he brought them to Luoshen Mountain Villa and gave them a secret method that can directly reach the Grandmaster Mirror.
This group of Holy Sect masters was able to retreat and cultivate for a full half a year.
In a nameless mountain range in Luoshen Villa, the dog San'er walked in the mountains and forests, holding a straw in his mouth, looking a little bored, and sucking the bitter taste of the grass roots with a happy face.
It has been half a year since he came here, and his cultivation has also broken through to the top-grade Dacheng realm.
In the next period of time, he needs to be quiet and stabilize his current realm, but there is nothing to do.
It's not like other brothers and sisters who are in retreat and penance in order to break through this realm.
The secret method provided by Roselle Villa is indeed miraculous, and it can break the solid barrier in the middle of the high-grade Dacheng realm that breaks through the middle-grade Dacheng realm.
And at the moment, the youngest group of disciples of the Holy Sect have also reached the middle grade of the Great Achievement Realm, and the weakest cultivation has also reached the middle grade of the Great Achievement Realm.
Like them, they are so talented that they are even high-grade and have a great success per capita!
There are now more than 200 people in the current top-grade Dacheng realm of the entire Holy Sect, and such strength can already be said to dominate the rivers and lakes.
Dominating the rivers and lakes is no longer a problem, only in the thoughts of the current sect master.
It is worth mentioning that the first personal inheritance of the sect master, the fierce tiger Zhao Shixiong, is now in retreat, and it is said that he is breaking through the grandmaster realm!
And the second pro-sect master, the gluttonous Du Yuanjin, has already come out of the mountain, and even Gou San'er doesn't know what kind of cultivation he is.
And the third family of the sect master, the proud fox He Zuoyuan, temporarily took over the position of the sect master and led the Holy Sect to practice here.
