The first-class Ling Tao and the others slaughtered out of the Troubled Stone Valley, and there were less than 50,000 soldiers and horses left.

After Ling Tao got the letter, he didn't show any regret.

He didn't even know how cold-blooded he was now.

The corners of Fu Hu's mouth curled slightly, and he felt relieved.

He knew that during the time of the old sect leader, there were millions of sect members, but it was those ten thousand people who really entered the eyes of the law.

In the end, the vast majority of these people became the puppets of the old sect master.

As for the very few, it was a person like him who was extremely loyal to the old sect leader.

As for the cultists, they are just a bunch of minions in the minds of the sect masters.

Captive minions, use them, don't abandon them, this is still a good end, and even a lot of them have disappeared inexplicably, those are the most miserable, and they have been trained by the sect master to be inferior magic weapons and used as cannon fodder.

The old sect leader is absolutely cold-blooded and ruthless, and the new sect leader is still too far away.

After a little rectification, the half-cooked barbecue of those unicorn grizzly bears, fill their stomachs, and store the rest, when they get here, they don't need to deliberately explain, they all know that the environment here is harsh, and it is difficult to eat the food of the Central Plains, and it is very lucky to have the meat of the monster.

There are no towns here, where there is smoke, there are primitive tribes of all sizes, the larger tribes have stone houses and wooden houses, and the small tribes live in caves.

These barbarians who came to open up the Troubled Stone Valley were all recruited by the big chiefs from various tribes, and sent some people to guard the overseers, but they didn't expect to be able to get through so quickly, so they didn't have any preparations, and the tens of thousands of barbarians here plus a few Japanese people were almost killed by Ling Tao, and only a few barbarians escaped, although the Japanese people ran away first, they did not escape the fate of being killed, after all, their physique was too poor.

If you look back at the Troubled Stone Valley, it is like a slaughterhouse, the narrow valley road is full of corpses of Black Lotus Holy Sect disciples and barbarians, and the dirty blood can end the feet and necks, but now it has turned into a purple-red glacier.

The wind is howling, and it won't be long before the place is covered in snow.

Surprisingly, Ling Tao did not wait for the barbarians' frantic counterattack, and after resting, Ling Tao led these people to brave the howling and bitter cold north wind to advance to the north.

A day later, the barbarian chief got the letter and led people to the Rocky Valley, looking at the corpses of the canyon that were frozen harder than stones, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Approaching the New Year, a shocking news came out of the Central Plains; the barbarians opened up the Troubled Stone Valley with the help of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, fortunately, Liu Guozhong, the general of the Li State, led his troops to the north to suppress the bandits, found it in time, responded quickly, and stopped the barbarians in the Troubled Stone Pass, and fought for more than ten days, with heavy casualties, but failed to let the barbarians break through the Troubled Stone Pass.

The rocks were locked up in the territory of the Li State, so they bore the brunt of the attack and sent several urgent letters to the Qin Emperor.

During this period, he also wanted to send a letter of request for help from the neighboring vassal states.

The Xia State, which responded the fastest, first supported a large amount of grain, grass and military supplies, as for the military aid, because it did not get the consent of the Li State, it was unable to send troops, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in Sushan State to help fight against the Cheng Kai Department of the Qin State withdrew to their own country, because of the barbarian invasion, so that the ongoing or about to carry out the war in various places, quickly stopped the war, ready to be put into the war against the barbarians.

However, material support can be arranged by oneself, and the dispatch of troops will have to wait until the Holy Decree of Emperor Qin.

Then the lord of the Li State agreed, and the soldiers and horses of the other vassal states could enter the Li State and rush to the Ranshi Pass to support.

The Xia State supported a large number of materials, and then the Suri State also supported ordnance, grain and grass.

The northern neighbor, the Cangyue Kingdom, is not far behind.

On the fifteenth day of the battle at the Ranshi Pass, that is, on the day at the end of the year, the Qin Emperor's holy decree was finally sent to the Ranshi Pass.

In addition to commending and encouraging Liu Guozhong, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the fight against the barbarian invasion, an official position, a general of the extermination, and a governor of the capital.

Prime Minister fights against barbarians in military and political affairs.

This was a temporary title, and it was given to Fu Jie and Huang Yue, who represented the authority of the Qin Emperor, to lead the generals and other high-ranking generals with festivals.

Liu Guozhong's power at this time was especially better than that of the lords of the vassal states.

However, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, these rights of title became invalid.

But there are also conditions, that is, whether Liu Guozhong wants to be protected by the Qin Empire, after all, during the period when he was in charge of fighting against the barbarians, it was impossible for him not to offend many people with great power and power, and he would inevitably not be retaliated against if he fell on the high altar, so he had this superior condition.

If Liu Guozhong wants to get asylum, he will directly enter the court of the Qin Empire and get an official position with a high position but not much power, which is equivalent to retirement.

However, there are also exceptions, that is, the ability to serve the Qin Emperor.

If you don't want this condition, you will get a lot of rewards, but the Qin Empire does not promise to preserve your own security.

Because of this change, the hot spot of Qin's southern expedition failure was shifted.

The Qin Emperor and the ten major families have no other minds now, and the barbarian invasion is more than the looting of the nomadic vassal states in the south, in popular terms; the invasion of the nomadic vassal states and the conquest of the vassal states are all internal contradictions among the people, and the invasion of foreign races must first put aside all grievances and unite with the outside world.

The ten major families, the major forces of all parties, and the various vassal states all sent masters to the Troubled Stone Pass as soon as possible to support.

The matter of soldiers and horses support still has to fly some twists and turns, and even if Li Guo agrees, it will not be able to catch up for a while, and the nearest vassal states are thousands of miles, and Jianye City is tens of thousands of miles away from the Troubled Stone Pass.

Rocky Guanzhong;

"I really didn't expect that the second son of the Zhang family was so powerful, and I didn't see how he operated, and he actually attracted the attention of the entire continent here, but he was safe. ”

Liu Guozhong sat in the temporarily renovated Dadu Governor's Mansion, a glass of warm wine, a table full of delicacies, but no appetite.

The fierce battle for more than half a month was indeed very tragic, and he did suffer heavy losses, but it was not to the point of danger, because Zhang Xian sent five great masters, three great monks of the human race, and two great demons.

They don't really go to war, they just mix in with the soldiers, and they specialize in dealing with the masters who may appear among the barbarians.

And in the past half a month, the barbarian offensive has indeed been fierce, but it is limited to the category of soldiers against each other, and the real strong have not appeared, and even those Japanese have not shown up.

"Well, maybe I was wrong in the first place. ”

Liu Guozhong sighed secretly.

He was self-examining, half his life, and his ambitions were great, but in the end he ended up in such a situation.

Liu Jin has escorted his mother to Ranshi Pass, which is Zhang Xian's promise to Liu Guozhong.

Of course, the other wives and concubines and children were not so lucky, and they were also placed under house arrest on Jinwan Island.

With his old wife and eldest son by his side, he is no longer lonely, which makes him not so resentful of Zhang Xian.

However, he was shocked by Zhang Xian's ability.

Rocky Valley, a stroke of genius、、、
