Chapter 519： Live as a hero, die as a ghost!

The next day.

It wasn't until early in the morning that the restlessness at Jianmen Pass gradually subsided.

But Chen Yuan still saw that one order after another was issued from the door, one after another news came from outside the pass, and a dignified momentum was gradually rising.

In the main hall.

Northern Liang King Wei Jinfeng was wearing a golden battle armor, with a big horse and a golden sword sitting on top, his son Wei Wuque stood by and waited, and Chen Yuan sat under his left head.

Logically speaking, with Chen Yuan's strength, he is not qualified to sit on the left.

Because the left is the most expensive since ancient times.

In the current main hall, there are still four generals of the Northern Liang Army with Huayang cultivation, but they are all sitting under Chen Yuan.

This is the order of the King of Beiliang, and naturally no one dares to disobey it.

Chen Yuan himself was also a little confused, but he just listened to the military order of the King of Beiliang calmly, but he was a little vigilant in his heart, after all, if something abnormal, there must be a demon.

There are only a few of them sitting in the main hall, and it is still a bit empty at a glance.

As far as Chen Yuan knew, the entire Beiliang Army was divided into four battalions.

That is, earth, water, wind, and fire.

Among the four camps, they are distributed further down.

Now the few people in the main hall are the chief generals of the four battalions of earth, water, and wind, and the fire camp is not included in this list. As for the other person, he is the chief general of the dark guard camp.

It can be said that the people sitting here are all the leaders of the Beiliang Army. As an official of the Sky Survey Department, he is indeed a little uncoordinated.

"How's the situation?"

Wei Jinfeng asked calmly.

Since Chen Yuan met Wei Jinfeng for the first time, he has been acting like this, as immobile as a mountain.

"My lord, according to the latest information, the northern barbarian army has entered the territory of Liangzhou. In one night, six pass villages were wiped out. A total of 10,000 people were defeated and injured."

General Dark Guard opened his mouth to report.

"continue."

"Well, the barbarians have divided their forces."

"How many points?"

"There were nearly 200,000 people. When they approached the border of Liangzhou, they changed direction. The humble staff guessed that they should go to Youzhou."

"Um."

"My lord." General Shan Ziying cupped his hands and said:

"Isn't Huoziying guarding Yishui Pass a little risky?"

"This king has his own decision on this matter. All you need to know is that the Huozi Camp will not enter Jianmen Pass. Whether you can hold it depends entirely on your three camps."

Wei Jinfeng raised his hand to stop him from continuing the questioning.

"Yes, I finally understand."

"The scattered gates outside can't stop the barbarians. I pass on the latest military order of the king. After resisting for an hour, they can retreat by themselves and retreat into Jianmen pass."

"But if that's the case, isn't that too much territory to give up?" Wei Wuque on the side said hesitantly.

In the past, to resist the northern barbarians knocking at the pass, they relied on one after another pass villages all over the border. Although the number of people was not large, relying on a large formation could still make the barbarians weak.

With every step of resistance, at least in recent decades, Liangzhou has not suffered much damage.

"The division is too scattered to stop the northern barbarians. This time, it is not tens of thousands of barbarians, but hundreds of thousands of barbarians. Even if the troops are divided, the number is too large. It only needs to defend a few important towns, and it is enough to walk step resistance."

"Father wants to resist at Jianmen Pass?"

"This king has his own calculations."

Wei Jinfeng said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Wei Jinfeng looked around the circle below, and continued:

"Fengziying has three troops of ten thousand cavalry. They don't guard the customs and harass the border at random. If they encounter a small number of barbarian pioneers, they can attack directly. If they encounter a large army, they will retreat immediately."

"Yes, the general will obey!"

General Feng Ziying hurriedly said.

Each battalion of the Northern Liang Army has its own characteristics, such as their Fengzi camp, the most prominent is a fast as wind, and the horses in the army are all extremely fast aliens.

Has repeatedly harassed the edge of the grassland.

The Huozi Battalion stands out as the most tyrannical battalion, which is as fierce as fire, and its combat power is superior to the four major battalions. Only this battalion can hold an important town.

The most outstanding thing about the Shanziying is that it is as stable as a mountain. It is the first of the four major battalions in equipment.

Water Battalion stands out for being as soft as water, and the most difficult to deal with. The four battalions of combat power are at the bottom, but they are the most tenacious.

Each battalion has more than 50,000 cavalry, the number is not equal.

"My lord, when will the support from the imperial court arrive?" General Shui Ziying asked.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the rest of the generals in the hall all turned their attention to King Beiliang.

Their camp at Jianmen Pass was not in full swing.

All three of their battalions have divided troops, and now the entire Jianmen Gate is full of troops, and there are only 150,000 elite soldiers plus tens of thousands of ordinary troops.

But no matter how you calculate it, it is less than 200,000.

Where are the savages?

Even if the 200,000 divided troops are excluded, there are still 500,000 elite cavalry, plus those martial arts experts, the strength is not equal at all.

The most important thing is that there is only the King of Beiliang in the entire Jianmen Pass, the Yangshen True Monarch.

There are at least three of them on the northern barbarian side.

Therefore, we must count on reinforcements from the imperial court.

There is no need to count on Youzhou, there will be no division of troops, and it is estimated that the prince will not strictly order support there, after all, he is looking at the overall situation.

If the barbarians break through Youzhou, the situation here will basically be irreversible.

Wei Jinfeng calmed down and said:

"Your Majesty has delivered an order to mobilize 300,000 elite soldiers from the capital and Bingzhou, led by Generalissimo Shenwu Zhenjun to help the border."

Hearing this sentence, those few were relieved.

It is good to have reinforcements, they are most afraid of fighting alone.

Not worth it! Really not worth it!

"In addition to this decree, the capital also issued a new decree overnight." When Wei Jinfeng said this, he slowly turned his gaze to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was taken aback for a moment by the meaningful look in his eyes.

Could it be related to him?

"What purpose?"

Several people looked at each other, General Shan Ziying asked.

"Your Majesty wants to transfer Chen Yuan back to the capital, and he has another important task."

Hearing this sentence, the faces of several generals suddenly became a little ugly, and their eyes swept towards Chen Yuan, with complicated eyes, including disdain, contempt, and indifference.

Beiman knocked on the pass, but ordered Chen Yuan to be transferred overnight.

If you think about it casually, you will know what this means, and once it gets out, it will definitely damage the morale, especially those in the Sky Survey Division.

Before, Chen Yuan said that he wanted to go to the country together to fight against the northern barbarians, but he was transferred away in a blink of an eye. Who can not think too much?

Even the eldest son Wei Wuque frowned, but didn't say much.

Wei Jinfeng took a panoramic view of the expressions of several people, and then turned to Chen Yuan, as if he wanted to see something from his face, but unfortunately, Chen Yuan remained indifferent.

Slowly said:

"Chen Jinshi, what do you think, do you intend to transfer back to the capital?"

Chen Yuan squinted his eyes, thinking a lot in his mind, especially when he looked at Wei Jinfeng's calm eyes, he suddenly thought about it, and said in a deep voice:

"The enemy of the northern barbarians is now, if Chen returns to the capital, the impact will be too great, and I ask the prince to refuse on his behalf."

"Oh?"

Wei Jinfeng looked at him with interest.

The rest of the eyes in the hall also focused on him, as if they were looking for something again.

Chen Yuan stood up and said in a righteous voice:

"Although Yuan is only seven feet tall, he is willing to use this insignificant strength to fight against the northern barbarians. The blood feud of hundreds of years will be deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains.

How can you back down at this critical moment? "

"Regardless of others, Chen will never leave Liangzhou. He will be a hero in life, and he will be a ghost in death. He is just a barbarian, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Life is a hero, death is a ghost"

Chen Yuan's two lines of five-character poems immediately changed the atmosphere in the hall, and several generals in the Beiliang Army withdrew their previous contemptuous expressions.

Even a little ashamed.

It was they who crossed the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

When he looked up again, there was already a sense of recognition in his eyes.

Even standing there, Chen Yuan seemed to be glowing.

"Okay, I understand your intentions, yes, the reputation of being the number one genius in the Central Plains is not in vain," Wei Jinfeng nodded appreciatively, then his face became condensed, and he ordered:

"Ben Wang's military order, throughout Liangzhou."

After everyone had left, only Wei Jinfeng and Wei Wuque father and son were left in the entire hall. After a moment of silence, Wei Wuque broke the silence:

"If Chen Yuan chooses to leave, what will the father do?"

Wei Jinfeng replied in a concentrated voice:

"In Liangzhou, the king is the king. Listen to Jingtai's imperial decree if it is useful. If it is not useful, it is a piece of waste paper. Chen Yuan is still useful to the king, so it is naturally impossible to let him go.

Besides, he himself doesn't seem to want to leave. "

"Yes, he is courageous."

Wei Jinfeng had another thing to say in his heart.

What he said is that Chen Yuan is worthy of being the son of the Xiang family!

Great Chu was established for 800 years, there were fatuous monarchs, weak monarchs, and monarchs who died young, but there were no monarchs who surrendered. Even in the last years of the dynasty, Emperor Ling of Chu, known as the faint monarch, never gave up the country .

Lead the power of the dynasty and fight until the last soldier.

Wei Jinfeng still admires this point.

Wei Wuque suddenly realized, he just said, with the character of his father, the words asked in the hall today must have a deep meaning, and it is impossible to really want Chen Yuan to leave.

On the contrary, what Chen Yuan said today is indeed courageous.

After all, no matter what, the opponent did not back down, but chose to fight the barbarian.

"Today, you spread what Chen Yuan said throughout Jianmen Pass and even the whole of Liangzhou. If there are any beggars, they will be killed immediately. If you come to Liangzhou with military merits, you will run away if you are in danger. Liangzhou has no So cheap."

"The child understands."

"Father, my son has one more thing." Wei Wuque changed his voice and continued.

"Say."

"The imperial court may not be trustworthy, and the father should be cautious." Wei Wuque said very solemnly.

"Of course the king knows about this matter. The Sima family's temper has been figured out after so many years. The reinforcements will probably wait until the Northern Liang army is half-destroyed before they come forward to clean up the situation."

"Then you."

"Stable the morale of the army. The disparity in strength between Liangzhou and the northern barbarians is too great. If the morale of the army is unstable, it will be difficult to win."

"The child understands."

"As a father, I have my own calculations. No matter what, I will never let the Beiman capture Liangzhou. I can pay any price." Wei Jinfeng's eyes flickered with a gleam of coldness.

"The child will go back to the camp immediately."

Wei Wuque expressed his opinion immediately.

"Go, without tempering, embarrassing and useful, the Beiliang Army will still be handed over to you in the end, but first you must let everyone obey you."

"Yes."

"Also, maintain a good relationship with Chen Yuan. This kid is not easy. Beiliang may borrow his strength in the future."

"The child understands."

After Wei Wuque left, Wei Jinfeng's eyes gradually turned relaxed, and then he breathed out a turbid breath, took out a simple and mysterious talisman from his sleeve, and stared at it for a long time.

Leaving the Jianmenguan Palace, Chen Yuan received Wei Jinfeng's military order and began to prepare for the upcoming battle, and he couldn't help being excited.

It is every man's dream to ride horses on the battlefield and kill with iron blood.

Chen Yuan is no exception.

He likes the scene where all the people worship when he raises his arms.

and has been working hard in this direction.

A few days later, the confrontation between Beiliang and Beiman officially began. It was not as simple as a direct confrontation between the two armies as Chen Yuan imagined at the beginning.

Beiman has been sending small groups of cavalry to attack cities and villages and burn farmland.

All creatures seen will be killed.

The Beiliang army was also trying its best to resist, constantly killing the small cavalry sent by the ancient Jin royal court. In just a few days, they confronted more than a hundred times.

The frequency is not low.

However, these efforts seemed to be in vain, and the northern barbarian cavalry was still advancing towards Jianmen Pass at a steady and firm speed.

Every day, all kinds of remnants and defeated generals retreat into Jianmen Pass.

The defeat of the Northern Liang army has already appeared.

The more this is the case, the more people panic at Jianmenguan. Most of the Beiliang army is still stable, but the remaining soldiers who were conscripted and the army of the prefecture city below are somewhat insufficient.

In addition to the high fighting spirit at the beginning, the morale is declining even more every day.

And as more and more people were killed, this atmosphere was raised higher and higher.

But Wei Jinfeng didn't care about it at all, as if he couldn't see it, he still issued various military orders calmly every day, and even Chen Yuan was sent out to perform a mission.

That time, Chen Yuan led 1,500 sky patrolling guards, facing 3,000 barbarian vanguards.

Of course, Chen Yuan didn't move at all, these people were not enough for him to kill himself, so he just asked the people below to face the barbarian's methods.

At the cost of one hundred and two deaths and three hundred and seven injuries, the 1,500 elite sky patrol guards completely slaughtered 3,000 barbarian vanguards, and followed Chen Yuan's instructions to cast a Jingguan!

This is the first recorded military achievement, but when he returned, he found that many people looked at him differently.

Full of admiration.

After understanding, Chen Yuan understood.

It turned out that the words that Chen Yuan said impassionedly in the hall were spread out that day. The ten words "Being a hero in life and being a ghost in death" began to spread wildly in Jianmen Pass.

Everyone knew that Chen Yuan had a chance to leave, and the emperor personally summoned him to return to Beijing, but he refused without hesitation.

He even committed a crime of resisting the decree, just to fight against the northern barbarians.

How bold?

How loyal?

Who doesn’t admire this deed?

But Chen Yuan just smiled, he is not stupid, before Wei Jinfeng said that he would be entrusted with important tasks, how could he let him go?

Moreover, once you leave, the reputation you have accumulated before will be gone.

Anyway, Senior Moro is by his side, and his life will not be in danger here. Why not take this opportunity to earn military merits and pave the way for the future?

Also, he was still thinking, wouldn't such a big event happen to the lucky son of the barbarians?

This is a good thing, how can I leave?

So he wisely chose to deal with it head-on that day.

And beyond his expectation, the influence became bigger and bigger, and even he himself didn't push it, it spread throughout Liangzhou, and spread towards the Central Plains.

Chen Qing made her fame even better!

But the deep-seated reasons hidden in it had to make him think deeply.

Is it really just a simple chanting?

He doesn't think so.

It was able to spread throughout Liangzhou in just a few days, there must be someone pushing it.

And the identity of this person is about to be revealed.

Beiliang King, Wei Jinfeng!

In Beiliang, apart from him, there is no other person with such ability.

His purpose is unknown, but Chen Yuan can guess a little bit, part of it should be to tie him down and use his reputation to tie him down.

but.

In a big battle, what's the use of tying him up as a alchemy master?

Could it be that he knows the name of Lord Shura?

This had to make Chen Yuan think deeply.

But no matter how I think about it, I can't figure out why he can see through it?

What he doesn't know is that the reason why Wei Jinfeng did this is to use him as a typical character to boost the morale of the army. After all, he is young, talented, and has infinite possibilities in the future.

At the same time, he is also famous.

People like this gave up returning to the safe capital and chose to fight the northern barbarians. Why do those related households want to leave?

In terms of talent, age, and reputation, which one of you can compare to the famous demon sword Chen Yuan, the number one genius in the Central Plains?

As for the background.

Who has Beiliang Wang Da in his background?

In addition to this aspect, another aspect is that Wei Jinfeng wants to use Chen Yuan to fish out Xiang Qianqiu, and use some of his strength.

After all, Chen Yuan is his only son, and this son is still an heir with extraordinary talent. No one can give up such a bloodline.

Also, he always felt that Xiang Qianqiu wanted to do something big, and Chen Yuan was the most important pawn.

Leaving aside the bloodline, even if it is only about the pawn, can Xiang Qianqiu easily give up this **** that is growing up?

These are Wei Jinfeng's thoughts.

As for what Chen Yuan thought of as the vest of the 'Sura Demon Lord', he was not at all clear. He didn't have any supernatural ability to see through the arrangement of a six-realm immortal.

Even though this immortal is already disabled, he is still an immortal.

Immortal who has attained the Tao!

Chen Yuan's reputation is getting stronger and stronger, and the attacks of the northern barbarians are becoming more and more crazy. The several important towns left by Wei Jinfeng are being violently attacked every day.

If it wasn't for relying on the big formation, if it wasn't for the fact that the real strongmen of the northern barbarians hadn't come forward, these important towns would have been destroyed.

And just as the northern barbarians were gradually advancing, another news came out, which made the people of Liangzhou a little flustered and even desperate.

The 200,000 troops of the Northern Man were not ordinary servants, but real elite cavalry, who stormed the border of Youzhou under the leadership of the divine general Wanyanshu.

So far, the Youzhou border has been broken.

Nearly one-fifth of the territory was occupied.

Cool and secluded border, the whole line is urgent!
