In the imperial study in the palace.

Jiang Ziyu was reviewing the memorials with Jiang Xiu standing at his side. As he looked at the memorials that Jiang Ziyu had reviewed, a White-robed Guard came in and presented a secret letter.

Jiang Xiu took it and handed it to Jiang Ziyu.

Jiang Ziyu opened the letter and his expression darkened. He said, “Continue with the investigation.”

“Yes!”

The White-robed Guard left.

Jiang Xiu was curious about what was written in the secret letter. Jiang Ziyu noticed his gaze and handed the letter to him. After he read it, his face turned pale and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

His hands were trembling. He looked at Jiang Ziyu and asked in a trembling voice, “Father… do we really have a chance of winning if Great Jing were to face against nine dynasties?”

Jiang Ziyu asked expressionlessly, “Do you think you have no chance of winning? If you were the emperor, what would you do now?”

Jiang Xiu was silent. He was also thinking about this.

With five dynasties besieging Great Jing, it had already caused Great Jing to fall into a predicament. If another four dynasties were to attack, how could Great Jing withstand it?

Surrender?

Impossible, that would definitely lead to the demise of the dynasty!

But if they continued to fight, it seemed like they would undoubtedly lose!

At this moment, Jiang Ziyu stood up and went to the sand table. Jiang Xiu followed suit.

The father and son stared at the sand table in silence.

Jiang Ziyu suddenly said, “I am thinking to attack the west with all my might. What do you think?”

Jiang Xiu frowned and said, “Father, the Si Province is too close to the north. If a large number of troops were to attack the west, the north would be on guard and the enemy could easily reach the capital. Right now, the capital does not have many troops.”

Jiang Ziyu’s eyes flickered as he said, “I want them to come here.”

Jiang Xiu could not understand and asked, “Could it be that Father wants to rely on Grandmaster? Grandmaster is powerful and is a martial arts legend, but no matter how strong he is, he cannot defeat thousands of men and horses alone.”

Jiang Ziyu calmly said, “How do you know?”

Jiang Xiu was silent.

Even though he often saw Jiang Changsheng, he had never seen him fight.

The next day, the Emperor issued an edict for all kinds of citizens in the north to migrate to the Si Province and the south. In fact, even without his orders, the citizens of the cities near the border would still flee. After all, humans were afraid of death.

The garrisons in the outer nine provinces and the Jin Dynasty’s territory had yet to be dispersed. Jiang Ziyu only left a hole for the enemy to enter and kill him.

Dercember, early in the month.

The Shu Province battlefield was close to the Chen Dynasty, and the Great Jing Military Camp was located on the plain. Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed there, and their morale was low.

In the tent, the great general, Zhang Tianren, stared at the map with a frown.

A soldier ran in and cupped his fists. “General, the disciples of Longqi Temple have come to support you. The leader is the disciple of Immortal Master

Changsheng, Huang Chuan.”

Zhang Tianren suddenly raised his head and said in joy, “Quick, invite Huang

Chuan here.”

He had always been in awe of Longqi Temple. There was even a bronze statue of the Immortal Master Changsheng in his mansion in order to burn incense for him. He would never forget when he was still a soldier guarding the gate of the Sky Prison. The Ghost-Eyed Evil King fought his way out of the Sky Prison and was eventually kicked down the mountain by Immortal Master Changsheng. Even after fifty-two years, he still could not forget the shock of that night.

The soldier immediately went to invite Huang Chuan.

Zhang Tianren stood up and stroked his beard as he laughed. He was suddenly filled with confidence.

He was already old and had experienced dozens of wars in his life. However, in the face of the current situation, he had a headache.

The Chen Dynasty had mobilized the entirety of its army to attack the Shu Province. His army had endured for several months and was about to collapse. However, he also understood that the other battlefields were also tense and could not provide them support. Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

Not long after, Huang Chuan entered the tent. Zhang Tianren sized him up and praised, “As expected of Immortal Master’s disciple. You are indeed a talented man. ”

Huang Chuan cupped his fists and said, “This junior is named Huang Chuan.

Greetings, General Zhang. Great Jing is in trouble, so Longqi Temple naturally can’t sit back and do nothing. I have already stepped into the Divine realm and led a hundred disciples to support you. The weakest of these disciples are first-rate experts. In addition, we also brought my master’s treasure.”

Hearing that there were only a hundred people, Zhang Tianren was somewhat disappointed. However, when he heard the rest of the sentence, his eyes lit up and he hastily asked what treasure it was.

Huang Chuan said, “I don’t know, but my master asked me to use it on the battlefield. The next time we fight, the general can take us with him.”

At that moment, a soldier ran in and half-knelt on the ground as he said in a deep voice, “Reporting. There is a large number of cavalry coming from ten miles away. Their number is hard to determine, but there should be at least 50,000.”

When Zhang Tianren heard that, his expression darkened. 50,000 cavalrymen must be the most elite army of the Chen Dynasty!

On the battlefield, cavalry was always the nightmare of ordinary soldiers!

Zhang Tianren immediately reorganized the army, with Huang Chuan by his side. The horn sounded, and the soldiers resting in the military camp raised their weapons and rushed to their respective centurions.

When the 200,000-strong army gathered outside the military camp, Huang Chuan and Zhang Tianren stood on the war chariot. They looked up and saw dust at the end of the horizon. A large number of cavalrymen whistled over, and the ground was trembling slightly. It was an oppressive feeling.

All the soldiers of Great Jing felt pressured because the Chen Dynasty had more than 50,000 cavalry!

They had experienced such a large-scale attack more than once. And every time, they would suffer a crushing defeat and die to the enemy. More than half of the territory in the Shu Province had been occupied. How many times could they retreat?

Zhang Tianren’s expression darkened. Just as he was about to give orders, Huang Chuan leaped to the front of the army and walked forward alone.

“Who is he?”

“Judging from his attire, he must be from the martial arts world.”

“What does he want to do? Is he courting death?”

“These martial artists are really troublesome. They always disobey military orders!”

“I’ve seen him before. He’s Huang Chuan from Longqi Temple, a Grandmaster!”

“A Grandmaster? That’s great, we finally have hope!”

The soldiers discussed among themselves. One of the generals wanted to stop Huang Chuan, but he was stopped by Zhang Tianren. Zhang Tianren wanted to see Huang Chuan’s performance, and he believed that he was not rash.

The cavalry of the Chen Dynasty advanced at full speed, getting closer and closer to the front line.

The leading general had also noticed Huang Chuan. This person must be powerful if he came alone, but he was not afraid.

He was a Heaven Arrival realm expert, and he was one of the strongest generals in the Chen Dynasty. His confidence stemmed not only from his own strength, but also from the army behind him.

“Boys, kill them, break through Great Jing and seize the Shu Province. Create an achievement for Great Chen that will last for ages!”

The charging general raised his iron spear and roared like a lion. The cavalry behind him roared as well. Their voices gathered together, creating a huge commotion that shocked everyone.

One by one, the disciples of Longqi Temple ran out from the front line and quickly came to Huang Chuan’s side. They were extremely nervous, but they dared to go down the mountain because they were mentally prepared that they might die in battle.

Huang Chuan took out his brocade bag, and the other disciples followed suit.

“Master, don’t prank me.”

Huang Chuan thought to himself. While the other party was still some distance away, he took out a handful of beans from his brocade bag and threw them on the ground.

If these beans were not effective, they could retreat in time to avoid losing their lives.

The other disciples followed suit. Spiritual energy beans fell to the ground and rapidly enlarged before transforming into their human forms. Their figures were identical to Jiang Changsheng. Their bodies were emerald green, as if they were carved from jade. Their true appearance could not be seen. In an instant, nearly ten thousand spirit soldiers appeared on the battlefield, causing an uproar.

The cavalry of the Chen Dynasty was also frightened, but the general did not dare to stop his horse. Once he stopped, the cavalry behind him would continue to charge, which could cause him to be trampled under horse hooves. Therefore, he could only brace himself and rush forward.

“Oh my god! What’s that?”

“Is Longqi Temple really a martial arts sect?”

“Am I seeing things? What did they sprinkle on the ground to produce so many jade figures?”

“It’s definitely Immortal Master Changsheng’s immortal spells. I’ve said it before. Immortal Master Changsheng is not a martial artist, but an immortal god in the world!”

“We have hope?”

The soldiers of Great Jing were excited. The scene of turning beans into soldiers was too shocking. Even Zhang Tianren was trembling with excitement. Was this the ability of an immortal master?

The disciples of Longqi Temple were also shocked by the scene before them, including Huang Chuan. As they did not encounter any enemies on the way, they did not dare to use it rashly. They originally thought that it was a treasure similar to a talisman paper that could cast some kind of ultimate technique, but they did not expect it to be a soldier.

Even if they were from Longqi Temple, they could not understand what had happened.

“Keep an eye on the enemy and don’t be distracted!”

Huang Chuan shouted. Now was not the time to be shocked. Let’s kill the enemy first.

Hearing this, all the disciples stared intently at the cavalry of the Chen Dynasty. Nearly ten thousand spirit soldiers immediately rushed out like a green flood. It was an extremely spectacular scene, as they all raised their right hands one after another and condensed a sword shadow.

The two armies collided. Even though the spirit soldiers only had a trace of spiritual energy from Jiang Changsheng, they were not something ordinary soldiers could defeat. They charged into the enemy’s ranks and waved their swords quickly, cutting down the soldiers one by one. In an instant, a large number of cavalrymen fell from their horses and their blood stained the plain.

The general lifted a spirit soldier with his spear, but the spirit soldier was not afraid of pain and threw the sword shadow in his hand at him, startling him into dodging sideways. However, the cavalryman behind him was pierced by the sword shadow and flew out from his horse.

“Damn it!”

The general roared and his true qi exploded along the iron spear, scattering the spirit soldier.

A spirit soldier was not a match for a Heaven Arrival realm expert.

However, not everyone in the Chen Dynasty’s cavalry army was like him. The spirit soldiers were like tigers entering a flock of sheep as they slaughtered wantonly. This scene made Huang Chuan and the others extremely excited. The soldiers of the Jing Dynasty were dumbstruck.

At this moment, Zhang Tianren raised his halberd and roared, “All troops, attack!”

The cavalry of Great Jing took the lead and charged forward!

This time, Great Jing’s morale was far higher than before. They had the aura of a tiger that could devour anything within tens of thousands of miles!

The war had officially begun!

In the 17th year of the Qianwu Era, at the beginning of January, a piece of good news spread throughout the dynasty.

The army in Shu Province continuously defeated the Chen Dynasty army and launched a counterattack. The news of a victory was already exciting, but what happened on the battlefield caused an uproar.

The disciples of Longqi Temple turned the tide of the battle by turning beans into soldiers!

Many people’s first reaction was disbelief, but the news spread very quickly. That was because the disciples of Longqi Temple had not only fought in one battle, but they had also been turning the tides in several consecutive battles.

Every time the spirit soldiers slaughtered more than half of the enemy troops, Chen Dynasty’s army swould tremble in fear and continuously retreat.

In the throne room.

“Hahahaha! Turning beans into soldiers. The Chen Dynasty will definitely be frightened out of its wits!”

Jiang Ziyu laughed out loud. He could not care less about the dignity of an emperor as he was extremely excited.

The officials were also excited, but they found it hard to believe.

Han Tianji could not understand.

Scattering Beans into Soldiers?

That was too ridiculous!

Was it an illusion?

No, if it was an illusion, the battlefield would be chaotic and the enemy would definitely see through it.

Han Tianji’s impression of Jiang Changsheng began to rise, and he now seemed extremely mysterious. He was filled with curiosity. Who was Jiang

Changsheng? Could he be an expert from the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven?

However, he had never heard of a martial arts technique called Scattering Beans into Soldiers in the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven.

Was it really a f*cking martial arts technique?
