With regards to cultivation, Xie E had only just mastered the basics of breathing, and that was why the old man, the legendary Huang shang, had his brain damaged.
Due to the isolation of the Mo Tian Cliff and the long term seclusion in this stone room, even Zhang Clan Elder and Second Elder Lin did not know about it. But in their eyes, Huang shang was already a first-rate Immortal, so who would have thought that Huang shang would leave early?
The old man had listened to Zhang Daoling's orders. Firstly, he thought it over in front of the wall, and secondly, he wanted to assist Xie E and help the world.
The old man showed patience that Xie E was exceptionally impressed with. He explained the fundamental principles of Taoism, the human body's basic meridians, and the basics of cultivation to Xie E in detail.
Xie E gradually developed a good impression of the old man. Of course, this good impression was limited, unless the old man could help him regain his pride.
Huang shang's stone room had a rich collection, and practically all of the ancient scrolls that he had prepared in the past were copied by hand and moved to the stone room. Of course, these were all precious treasures that Huang shang had spent his entire life learning.
The old man offered everything to Xie E.
Xie E loved to read books and was not tired of it.
Huang shang (Old Man) was overjoyed to see Xie E begin to indulge himself in the hidden stone room. He repeatedly reminded Wu Zhi to return to the palace and leave Xie E in the Mo Tian Cliff.
Wu Zhi had never heard of anyone being persuaded by Huang shang to stay in the Mo Tian Cliff, and had never expected that Xie E would actually show such appreciation towards him. In the midst of his shock, he gladly returned to notify Zhao Gou, Zhao Zhen and the others, only to hear that Xie E was critically injured and that he had recuperated. Everyone was overjoyed, even Zhao Ji was extremely happy.
However, the matter of Xie E being harmed by the traitor had had a huge impact on everyone. The first to make a move was actually the fourth prince of Jin State, Wushu.
After Wushu returned to the Jin State, on one hand, he gathered with the other forces of the Jin State, strengthening the attack on the remaining forces of the Liaoning Province. Emperor Tianzu was forced to flee, and was captured within the Western Xia Province.
And the incident with Xie E gave Wushu a sufficient excuse. Wushu had taken the lead in announcing that the Song Dynasty Emperor was the most trustless and despicable person under the heavens, that he was pretending to marry the Princess of Chong Guo, that he had set up traps everywhere, and that he had attempted to murder some powerful official of the Jin State; that he had ordered Xie E to marry someone who was knowledgeable and deeply taboo to the Song Dynasty Emperor; that he had formed an intimate relationship with the fourth prince Wushu on the way, and that made him even more jealous and resentful.
As for the result, Wushu did not say much, because the entire world knew that Xie E had been persecuted. However, Zhao Ji's goal was to regain back the military power in Tong Guan's and Gao Qiu's hands, after Gao Qiu's death, Gao Qiu had no choice but to surrender his military power and lose his position.
Zhao Ji obviously didn't know enough about Xie E's importance, and didn't get his name straight, so he gave Wushu the chance to use this as an opportunity. "Yu Gong, Xie E is the one who sent the marriage envoy, not only did he meet with attacks easily, but he was also persecuted multiple times and his whereabouts are unknown.
Revenge.
Amongst them, the fifty thousand troops led by Wushu were the bravest, bravest, and the most invincible.
Wushu's Army had set up a special elite unit, known as the "Xie" Battalion.
On the one hand, he warned himself that welcoming a bride was the shame of Wushu's military career; on the other hand, he took Xie E's surname as the name of the army in order to make Xie E completely fall on his side. At the same time, he also let the people of Great Song understand that the real woman was not the rumored violent one, but rather, she attached great importance to talented youths like Xie E.
The flames of war quickly ignited, Song Jin's border continuously battled, the anxious documents were like snowflakes that were transmitted to the capital of the Great Song — — Bian Liang.
All of this happened half a year earlier than in history!
Zhao Ji secretly rejoiced over his foresight, having long since brought his precious son Zhao Huan up to the front desk a few months ago. Right now, under the banner of Gold Soldier South, was the name of Xie E, which made Zhao Ji feel even more ridiculous.
Zhou Yu had long since taken a fancy to his precious daughter. Although the vase that was Zhou Yu was wearing was still intact, but this matter could still be considered to have been cleared up. In Zhao Ji's eyes, the absurd action of Wushu gathering a large number of people was after all just making a fuss without reason and not knowing what to do.
Zhao Ji immediately took Chone Shidao as his general and led a hundred thousand elite soldiers to assist the He Jian.
If Zhao Ji had made any wise decisions in his life, he could definitely be considered one of them, but he was probably the only one.
Chone Shidao, Uncle Yi, and Luoyang were good at capturing battles, judging the situation and planning their strategy.
When Xie E was driving beside him in the palace, he would often mention that Zhao Ji had personally summoned Chone Shidao before and thought that he was a great genius. It was a pity that such a talented general like him was already in his seventies when he was recognized!
Zhao Ji ordered Chone Shidao to serve as the envoy for the capital city and north Hebei province. His decision to send troops and He Jian met with strong opposition from the Prime Minister Zhang Bangchang, the Great Zai King and the others.
Zhang Bangchang used his old age and weakness as a name, and encouraged Zhao Huan to prepare to take the lead.
Zhao Huan's interest was greatly piqued.
Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji's thoughts were similar. When Wushu sent the flag to the south, he didn't care how many troops he could bring. If there were so many gold soldiers, he would have already taken over many prefectures.
Zhao Huan couldn't help but be agitated by Zhang Bangchang and the others. If they were to personally lead troops to repel Wushu, then when they return victorious, it would be when they ascend the throne. The glory of this victory made Zhao Huan, who was young to the point of overestimating his abilities, want to immediately rush to the front line.
Zhao Ji still felt that Zhao Huan's decision was too sudden. Regardless of whether Zhao Huan had this kind of military genius or not, even if he did, when facing Wushu who had experienced hundreds of battles, even the old generals like Chone Shidao and Zong Ze had to think twice before deciding.
Zhao Ji called Zhao Gou over to discuss, and Zhao Gou actually gave him his full support, "For a nation to become its ruler, the most important thing is to establish its might. Now that the Golden Soldiers had descended from the south, there were three drawbacks. First, the people were unsettled at the beginning of the Liaoning Province, and chaos occurred occasionally. Second, heavy soldiers had been stationed at the border for a long time, and the metal soldiers were exhausted after a long battle. Third, the women were vicious and unrelenting, and didn't know how to control the hearts of the people. "Therefore, if you gain your royal brother's leadership, you will return in triumph."
Zhao Ji was overjoyed, "Our son is like this, without worries!"
He then called Zhao Huan over and encouraged him greatly. He ordered Zhao Huan to pick the day to start the army, but he still ordered Chone Shidao to be his Counsellor.
Although there was a certain basis for Zhao Gou's words, the result of Zhao Huan's defeat in striking out had long been within Zhao Gou's expectations.
As long as Zhao Huan had a taste of failure, he, Zhao Gou, would have the chance to rise!
In the forest fifty kilometers north of He Jian City, Song Xuan and his group rode a group of thirty or so hunters dressed in nomadic northern China. They shouted as they chased after a group of elk, babbling in their native tongue while carrying bows, hooks, and ropes, traveling back and forth like the wind!
There were more than a hundred of them, and the hunters kept on killing and chasing them.
Every time a deer fell to the ground, two hunters dismounted, took out their cow-eared knives, and with great speed cut off the limbs of the elk. A pair of deer antlers hung from the saddles and joined the hunting party once more.
When there were only a dozen deer left, the hunters split up and chased after them, shouting and whipping.
The panic-stricken deer could not break out of the encirclement until they were exhausted and fell to the ground.
The leader of the hunters shouted, "Children, take our prey back. This time, we will have to eat for a few days!"
Everyone answered in unison.
Just when everyone was getting off their horses to clean up their prey, a loud sound came from the jungle and countless arrows came flying in their direction like locusts.
The first few hunters were caught off guard. They were hit by the arrows and fell into a pool of blood!
< p > Enemy attack!
The leader of the hunters was enraged. He took off the iron spear from his saddle and shot a few arrows at him. He then shouted, "The Southern Barbaric Nether Domain is here! Retreat!"
The thirty odd cavalrymen quickly abandoned their prey, abandoned their injured horses, and fled into the depths of the forest. There were a few with slow legs who took the head of their Song Army which was chased after, using extremely vicious methods!
Watching Golden Man leave, the leader of the soldiers laughed out loud and said, "Golden Thief has come to invade my border. I didn't expect him to come here to hunt, he's simply courting death! Haha!"
"Yes, yes. The general is brave and invincible. He has achieved a complete victory on the Duskfall Ridge today. When we return, we will be rewarded by Master Zhang."
They gathered together a trusted aide and tried their best to curry favor with him.
The general obviously did not expect this. With just a single volley of arrows, the dozens of Golden Soldiers were so frightened that they did not even have the courage to resist and could not help but feel pleased with themselves. "Everyone says that Golden Soldiers are brave enough to fight. Men, bring these delicacies back. This is a good thing that Golden Man gave us! "Hahahaha!
The three hundred archers and the five hundred soldiers were all fighting over the discarded prey on the ground. It was truly a lively scene.
With a sudden blast of the cannon, countless military horses surged out from behind Song Army. The leader of the group, a mighty general clad in black, brandished the large blade in his hands, "Ignorant scoundrel, you dare to come throw your life away!? Kill! "
The black-armored general actually spoke the official language of the north fluently, cutting down towards the leader of the Song Army with his blade.
The overjoyed general had been scared out of his wits just now. He summoned up his courage and took out a spear. He didn't even have the strength to lift it. Before he could react, the black-armored general was already in front of him.
With a raise of his hand, the blade fell. Half of his head was sliced off, with red and white splatters flying everywhere. It was a sight to behold.
The rest of the Song Army saw that an unknown number of golden soldiers had arrived in the darkness, and that the main general had been killed in one move, so how could they dare to resist?
The black-armored general narrowed his eyes in disdain as he sneered. He sheathed his saber and shouted, "Don't tell anyone to leave."
< p > "Yes!"
The entire Sunset Mountains were illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun. It was dazzling in gold, bringing with it a tinge of dark red, and a strong smell of blood.
In just an hour, all eight hundred Song Army were annihilated.
The black armored general's face was expressionless as he dismounted, and came to the side of a soldier who was slightly injured. Pointing at a captive with Song Army, he suddenly unsheathed his sword and touched Song Bing's neck lightly, causing blood to splatter and dust to fall.
Everyone was shocked.
It doesn't matter if you are injured, it doesn't matter even if you die. Before you die, the hilt of your spears and swords were engraved with the record of killing your enemies. As a warrior who fought for Da Jin Kingdom, what regrets do you have?!
The black-armored general's sharp eyes swept across every single soldier present, "Don't think that I'm that cold-blooded. You are still new recruits. After so many days of training, you should know what war is and what life and death struggle is!" Look, did you guys show any mercy when Song Army ambushed us just now? "
The black-armored general deliberately ordered his men to bring out the corpses that had been slaughtered by the Song Army. Every one of the corpses was decapitated. Angry roars gradually sounded from the crowd.
The black-armored general then revealed a satisfied smile. "Soldiers, obey!"
< p > "Yes!"
Thousands of people answered in unison. The momentum was magnificent!
After dark, follow me to the camp!
In the dark of the night, a group of people, carrying the banner of Song Army, quickly headed towards the Song Army camp that was stationed outside of the city.
Under the moonlight, a black armored warrior was urging the troop to move faster. "Hurry up and follow."
Only when they were a few hundred meters away from the military camp did they slow down.
The patrolling soldiers shouted, "Which military horse are you on?"
The black-armored general hastily pulled a captive from the Song Army and pushed him to the front. "Hurry and answer."
The captive's voice trembled as he forced himself to shout, "We … we are General Liu Cheng's subordinates."
"Oh, General Liu, please answer!"
The black-armored general used the gap between the two to quietly urge his troops forward another hundred meters.
< p > "Stop!" Please answer or we will shoot you an arrow! "
the guard shouted.
The black-armored general could not restrain himself and pushed away the helpless captive, feigning panic as he said, "General Liu led us to the Sunset Mountains to spy on the military. Unfortunately, we encountered an ambush from the enemy, causing General Liu to be severely injured and unable to stand up. We will fight our way back and quickly ask the military doctors to treat General Liu! "
The junior high school carefully looked at the opposing team. The first few were the captured soldiers of the Song Army, and they were all dejected. It seemed that they had really escaped back to the academy.
The school slightly hesitated as the black-armored general took the opportunity to lead the team to the barracks. The school quickly stopped them and went down from the archer's building. "You guys can temporarily rest here. I'll go and ask for instructions."
The black-armored general was no more than a hundred steps away from the school when he suddenly shouted, "Charge!
Hundreds of men disguised as Song Army took out their weapons and followed the black-armored general into the Song Battalion.
Chop down anyone you see and light fires everywhere.
Instantly, the entire military camp fell into chaos.
At almost the same time, from the direction of the Sunset Ridge, another two horses and tigers came. They charged in from the two wings, rampaging about, causing Song Army to cry out for their mother, they were looking for their son!
