Chapter 169: Xiqi First Spirit Venerable
"Report! There are two large contingents of cadres blocking the way ahead. ”
"Oh, whose soldiers and horses are they?" Xiao Wuxian was slightly surprised, he didn't get any information about reinforcements.
The appearance of this Xiqi general is seven or eight points similar to Xiao Qing, wearing golden-brown armor, exuding a strong killing aura all over his body, looking less quiet than Xiao Qing, and a little more solemn.
"The word 'fish' is written on the military flag in the north, which should be General Yu Xuanji's 'Zhenbei Army'. The spy replied truthfully, "The flag of the army on the east side has the word 'Zeng' written on it, and it seems to be...... The team of Zeng Rui, the 'midnight general'. ’”
"Zeng Rui, that old immortal, isn't he already paralyzed?" said Deputy General Xiao Yan puzzled.
Xiao Yan is less than forty years old, but he is already a fourth-layer master of Tianlun, and he was also ranked seventh on the list of heroes and heroes of the Great Qian, and he and the general Xiao Wuxian are both father and son, and they are colleagues in the army.
"I have also seen the illness of the old man, and it is said that he can no longer ride a horse. Xiao Wuxian pondered for a moment, and then said, "But this old man is steady and spicy in his use of soldiers, and he is very set, and he doesn't need to kill the enemy, but if he just commands on the spot, it's not impossible." ”
"Dashuai, do you want to break through?" Xiao Yan used to call his father "Dashuai" in the army.
"The other party has secretly dispatched troops for many days, and now he dares to show up to block the road, he must be fully prepared, waiting for me to explore the truth. Xiao Wuxian shook his head, "After all, they are still nominally allies, how can they start a war rashly?"
Before the words fell, his figure flashed, appeared in the sky, strode towards the northeast, and soon appeared between the "Zhenbei Army" and the "Midnight Army".
"Who is coming, and why are you blocking the way of my Xiqi defenders?" he asked aloud, his loud voice instantly spreading through the two armies below, causing the soldiers' eardrums to buzz.
"General Xiao, it's been a long time. ”
Accompanied by loud laughter, Zeng Rui, the "midnight general", was carried by someone with a chariot and appeared in front of the army.
And a slender figure burst out of the army in the north, with a white horse under his crotch, holding a silver spear, including his face, and his whole body was tightly wrapped in armor, revealing only a pair of blazing eyes.
"Who am I, it turned out to be General Zeng Lao and General Yu. Xiao Wuxian smiled slightly, "General Yu shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding the northern frontier, and the old general Zeng is even more ill and retired at home, what are the two of you doing in Xiqi where you are coming?"
"Your Majesty heard that General Xiao had suffered repeated setbacks in Xiqi and lost a lot of cities, and was worried about the safety of the border, so he sent the two of us to help fight against the Fulong Empire. Zeng Rui laughed and said, "Please also ask General Xiao not to blame the old man for trespassing." ”
Yu Xuanji didn't say a word from beginning to end, and seemed to be given full authority by Zeng Rui.
The two generals didn't know that this was Xiao's plan to lure the enemy, and when the enemy marched deep into Xiqi, he would cut off the supply of grain and grass to the other party, and catch turtles in the urn, which could be done in one battle. Xiao Wuxian said slowly, "Please also ask the Holy Lord, everything is under the control of Wuxi, and at that time, you can keep not losing an inch of Xiqi land, and you don't need reinforcements, please go back." ”
"General Xiao is really a good general in the world, and his plans are far-reaching. Zeng Rui still smiled and said, "It's just that Your Majesty has an order, let the Xiqi defenders meet the enemy with all their might, and they must not take half a step back, and the old man is just acting on orders, and he can't help himself, and I ask General Xiao to forgive me, why don't you and I just set up a position here, wait for work, and fight to the death with the Fulong Empire, how about it?"
"The Fulong Empire has a million troops this time, if it is a head-on confrontation, even if the three of us add up our strength, it will only be half of the other party. Xiao Wuxian shook his head, "Your Majesty is in the palace and doesn't know the situation on the front line, but Xiao is responsible for the soldiers under his command, how can he do such a planless move? ”
"Although the general's plan is good, it will suffer the people along the way, and it is not the best policy. Zeng Rui's voice was loud but without a trace of anger, "With General Xiao's strategy, even if you don't make this 'lure the enemy deep', you will definitely be able to come up with the best of both worlds, and you must not be arrogant." ”
"General Zeng, Xiao Mou is kind to persuade him, why are you so unreasonable?" Xiao Wuxi's tone gradually cooled down, "As the so-called generals are outside, the military orders are not subject to it, if the two generals are obsessed, don't blame Xiao for turning his face and being ruthless, you two have no spirit in the army, how can you compete with me?"
Saying that, he fought with both arms, his body exuded the majestic momentum of suppressing mountains and rivers, and the generals of the "Zhenbei Army" and the "Midnight Army" below were all Tianlun cultivators, under the pressure of his powerful spiritual venerable, they all felt that the spiritual power in his body was stagnant and ineffective, and the ordinary sergeants were in an uproar, among which the cultivation was weaker, and he couldn't bear it directly, and fell to the ground, sounding a "plop" sound.
If you don't enter the Spirit Venerable, won't you be able to control the situation after all?
Zeng Rui looked at the chaotic situation in the army and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"The two generals came to help with kindness, why did General Xiao make such a big fuss?" a gentle voice suddenly came from the sky above Zeng Jiajun.
Immediately afterwards, a soft aura tightly surrounded the soldiers below, and the soldiers who had been pressed by Xiao Wuxian and could barely stand up felt relieved and regained their mobility again.
"Thank Tianshu?" Looking at the gentle middle-aged man in a white shirt in front of him, Xiao Wuxian's eyes showed a trace of solemnity, "Governor Xiqi, do you want to meddle in the affairs of the army?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. Xie Tianshu's face was full of peace, as if he did not have a trace of anger, "The matter of marching and fighting is naturally decided by a few generals, Xie just doesn't want the elites to fight among themselves and damage the country in vain, so he has the courage to come and be a peacemaker." ”
"You are a literati, how do you understand the affairs of the army?" Xiao Wuxian was not afraid of the governor of Xiqi at all, and his tone was full of disdain, "Quickly retreat, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"
is also a Lingzun boss, Xie Tianshu, the governor of Xiqi, is a civilian, but Xiao Wuxian has fought all his life and fought countless battles, if the two sides fight, he doesn't think he will lose at all.
"General Xiao has such a big temper. Xie Tianshu smiled helplessly, "Fortunately, Xie also invited a friend, I don't know if General Xiao is willing to give him face." ”
Before the words fell, another powerful force rose from the south, colliding with Xiao Wuxian's momentum, not only did not fall into the wind, but faintly suppressed it.
This time, Rao is Xiao Wuxian's heart was strong, and the expression on his face couldn't help but change.
A thin figure appeared in the air south of the "Midnight Army", and the person who came had a thin face, wearing colorful Xiqi minority costumes, and stepped on a white griffin under his feet.
The griffin was born majestic and majestic, with wings spread out up to four meters, and its eyes flashed with a smart light, and it was actually a powerful spirit beast that had opened its wisdom.
"Xing Potian!" Xiao Wuru instantly recognized that the person was the sect master of the "Phantom Beast Sect", the number one faction in Xiqi Province, and Xing Potian, who was also known as the "First Spirit Venerable of Xiqi", he was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but scold, "The cultivation sect also dares to come and get involved in military affairs?"
The "Phantom Beast Sect" is close to the border of Xiqi, and is famous for being good at envoy spirit beasts and beasts, and most of the disciples in the sect are local ethnic minorities, who are naturally close to nature, and can easily mingle with animals.
Almost every disciple of the "Phantom Beast Sect" will choose a beast as a spiritual pet under the guidance of the elders of the sect after learning the art for a year, and practice the art of combined attack.
"Xiao Wuxian, what conspiracy you want to play has nothing to do with me. "Most of the ethnic minorities on this side of Xiqi are fierce and upright by nature, and they are not used to Xie Tianshu's official tone, Xing Potian is outspoken and does not give Xiao Wuxian any face, "But if it harms the interests of the people on the border of Xiqi, I can't care about it." ”
Ever since Xiao Wuxian retreated and retreated on the border, the people along the way were really miserable, and many of them were Xing Potian's fellow clansmen, which made the entire "Phantom Beast Sect" angry.
"Aren't you afraid of bringing ruin to the 'Phantom Beast Sect'?" Xiao Wuxie's eyes flashed with anger.
"If you touch my sect, I will go and slaughter the children of your Xiao family. Xing Potian said coldly, "It's a big deal, one life for another." ”
"You dare!" Xiao Wuxian's eyes were fierce.
"What are you afraid of?" Xing Potian glared back.
"Talk well, talk well. Xie Tianshu smiled and came out to play the round and said, "It's all for the sake of the Great Qian Empire, don't hurt the harmony." ”
Xiao Wuxie's eyes kept changing, and for a long time, he seemed to have figured out something, and his tone suddenly softened: "Governor Xie is right, it's all for the sake of the big cadres, since the two generals are kind to help each other, then let's camp here and discuss the plan to resist the enemy." ”
actually adjusted his mentality so quickly, this Xiao Wuxian, he is really not a simple person!
"The general is wise!" Zeng Rui showed a satisfied smile on his face, but his heart was full of joy, and his vigilance against this border general unconsciously rose a few points.
Since Xiao Wuxian was soft, and Xie Tianshu mediated from the side, the atmosphere on the field suddenly eased, and the three generals, a governor, and a sect leader quickly gathered together and discussed the "countermeasures" half-truthfully.
Regardless of the difficult situation on the border or the undercurrent of the imperial capital, it seems that it has not had much impact on the middle and lower class nobles and ordinary people outside Xiqi Province.
If there is anything that is the hottest in the imperial capital recently, it is undoubtedly a freshly baked novel "The Peerless Princess".
In such an era of male supremacy and the extremely humble status of women, a novel with a single female protagonist and multiple male protagonists suddenly appeared, which brought a great impact to the cultural world.
As soon as the novel was published, it was immediately criticized by countless people, but the novel characters, twists and turns of the plot, the abuse and cool points that are linked one by one, and the driving plots scattered in all corners still touched the hearts of countless readers.
There are a lot of trolls, but there are even more fans, many of them are scolding, while hiding at home and reading it countless times, and continue to spray after reading, and after spraying to read other novels, I feel bored, and I can't help but pick up this "Peerless Princess" again and "swish" and turn it over.
In just a few days, the sales of this cutting-edge novel actually reached hundreds of thousands of copies, which made the boss of "Tianyi Pavilion", who monopolized the right to sell, smile from ear to ear, and was drooling and counting money in his dreams at night.
With the popularity of the novel, the author's name "Feng Qingyu" has also entered the public eye.
It's just that I don't know why, in the column of the author of the novel, in addition to "Feng Qingyu", a "second author" is also marked.
Zhong Wen!
