New Year's Close.

Deng Qi and Xia Ji joined forces and hoarded in the lower field.

Xiaye City is a hundred miles away from the capital of the original Duanguo, but it is very close to the southern towns guarded by Chen Qingzhi.

Moreover, there is a wide avenue outside the city, which can be used by the march, which is extremely convenient.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Shimono Castle is the gateway to the southern towns.

Chen Qingzhi beat the drums and gathered the generals and hoarded all the troops in the area of Niutou Mountain.

Frontal clash with the Don Army.

There is a lot of momentum when a husband is in charge, and there is no momentum for all armies.

On the day of the end of the year, the first battle between the two sides took place.

Chen Qingzhi relied on geographical advantages to defeat the Tang army, but after all, it was a cold winter march, and the casualties of his own army were not few.

In the first battle, the Tang army did not send many troops, which should be to test the strength of Chen Qingzhi's troops.

After the battle, they summed up some experience according to Chen Qingzhi's past playing style, that is, they fought steadily and steadily to break Chen Qingzhi's lightning tactics.

Otherwise, if you collide with him head-on, you won't have much chance of winning.

However, the heavy snow was heavy, and Chen Qingzhi was mostly cavalry, and it was difficult for the horses to move an inch in the snow, which gave the Tang army a chance to breathe.

They wanted to give Chen Qingzhi a devastating blow before Zhao Changlin came.

For this reason, they have stayed up for several nights, and finally come up with a solution that is not the way.

Relying on the advantage of the snow, the troops were divided into four routes, completely cut off Chen Qingzhi's back road, and besieged him to the death in Niutou Mountain.

Then the army swarmed up and surrounded Chen Qingzhi's group, and at that time, it would be impossible for him to escape.

Although I don't know if this method will work or not, I can give it a try.

It's a big deal to fight a lose-lose situation, but Chen Qingzhi has few soldiers, if Chen Qingzhi can stay in Niutou Mountain, then Deng Qi can be regarded as completing the task.

Because the real idea of the Tang State to send troops was never to seek to seize the land of the Liang State, but to cause trouble to the Wei army and stifle the development of the Wei State's strength.

Just after the Tang army sent troops in four ways, Chen Qingzhi did not play his cards according to common sense, pulled all the troops over, and attacked one of the Tang troops with all his might.

And it was an army with heavy armor, chariots, and baggage.

However, what Chen Qingzhi never expected was that such an army, in the snow, should have greatly reduced its strength, but after a big battle, it unexpectedly gnawed hard bones.

Moreover, the Tang army, which was closest to this army, rushed to support as quickly as possible and attacked Chen Qingzhi on both sides.

Risking death, Chen Qingzhi took advantage of the night to break through, only to retain most of his vitality, and retreated to Niutou Mountain, ready to hold on.

In this battle, Chen Qingzhi was defeated.

However, far from the point of defeat, he reinvigorated the army, laid a net around Niutou Mountain, and then hoarded supplies, preparing to fight an earth-shattering battle with the Tang army here.

Relying on the geographical advantage, hold on until the arrival of the Changlin Army, and at that time, any problems will be solved.

The main reason why Chen Qingzhi is currently at a disadvantage is because of the lack of soldiers.

Most of his troops were cavalry, and he was really not good at fighting in the ice and snow.

And the Tang army had already laid out all this, so before the winter, they temporarily changed their troops, and replaced all the main sources of troops with pikemen.

The advantage of pikemen in the snow is that they are easy to move and their attack power will not be weakened.

Therefore, relying on the advantages of this class, they were able to make Chen Qingzhi's difficulty parry.

The first battle between the two armies was the first to be provoked by Chen Qingzhi, that is to say, it was the Wei side that attacked the Tang State first, which was in the public opinion among the people, and the Wei State had the upper hand.

Although it was a big victory, after all, the division was unknown.

Secondly, it was Chen Qingzhi's second attack on the Tang army.

In this battle, the Wei army was defeated and fled.

Although it was defeated, it was still not supported by the people, after all, this time it took the initiative to attack the Tang army.

Of course, Zhao Changqing, who is far away in Luoyang, doesn't care about these things.

He is now going to the place where the Three Emperors will meet, and he has brought 30,000 iron armor to hold a winter hunt here.

In fact, I just want to come out and breathe.

However, something bad did come out at this time.

The Tang State took advantage of the public opinion of the people in the world to launch a denunciation of the Wei State, which led to many masters of the rivers and lakes of other countries who did not hesitate to go to the Wei State and assassinate the ministers of the Wei State.

For a while, it made people panic.

Zhao Changqing was very angry, and scolded Zhao Gao who came with him: "What are you doing in Dongchang? How long has it been since Tang Guo issued a denunciation? Four of our Wei State's ministers above the third rank have died in the assassination of warriors from other countries, and so far, only one murderer has been found!"

Zhao Gao knelt down in the snow, clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, it was the slave and maid who were negligent, but this incident happened suddenly, and the slave and maid were a little at a loss for a while!"

Zhao Changqing said: "I used to let Jinyiwei specialize in the outside world, but now spies in other countries, who doesn't hear the word 'Jinyiwei' and is frightened? Jinyiwei has made great efforts for the soldiers who are going out on the expedition, and a lot of valuable information is provided by Jinyiwei. And what about your East Factory? Internally, the warriors of other countries have all come to the doorstep, but you tell me that I am at a loss? It seems that I really want to let Jia Xu manage the East Factory for you for a period of time!"

Zhao Gao panicked and said: "Please forgive your majesty, the slaves and maids must spread out their manpower as soon as possible to strictly prevent the entry of warriors from other countries." ”

Zhao Changqing said: "It's not a strict defense, but as long as the warriors of other countries dare to come to the Wei State, no matter what realm or force they belong to, they will all be killed!"

Zhao Gaozuo said: "The slave obeys the order!"

Gao Lishi, who was beside Zhao Changqing, said: "Select a few of my personal guards and let them go to the major martial arts sects and Dao Palaces in the south to seek their help." Just tell them that although the rivers and mountains of Wei belong to me, they also belong to them, and they are all warriors, so is it possible to watch the warriors of other countries show off their martial arts in the territory of Wei?"

Colliers took the order, and then went to arrange for someone.

Zhao Changqing was furious.

This incident is really a naked provocation.

A mere warrior also dares to act as a clown!

As long as there are no powerhouses in the land immortal realm, Zhao Changqing has this self-confidence, let them die as much as they come.

If they are allowed to kill so recklessly, then who would dare to be an official in the Wei people?

Who should govern the world?

It is reasonable for Zhao Changqing to seek the help of the local Jianghu sect.

Jianghu sects in various places are also actively responding.

But to be honest, the Jianghu sects in various places are just scattered sand, and without a core figure to lead them, it really can't work, after all, they don't even have a goal, how can they achieve the thing of driving away the warriors of other countries?

Then they held a martial arts conference.

This is the second martial arts conference after Zhao Changqing stepped on the rivers and lakes.

This martial arts conference involved Jianghu sects all over the country.

It is also praised by later generations as a truly recorded martial arts conference.

The purpose of the conference is to meet friends with martial arts, and then elect a qualified martial arts alliance leader, and then better resist foreign enemies and still seek development.

Since it is seeking development, it must be linked to the imperial court.

Therefore, the title of the first martial arts alliance leader fell to the national teacher Xuan Lingzi.
