In Suzhou, Hejian, there are three prefectures and twenty-one counties. This year has been really tough. Not to mention the cold weather and heavy rain, which is far worse than in previous years.
It rains once every three days and is covered with frost day and night. Floodwaters overflow, rivers and lakes overflow into the wilderness, and countless farmland and villages are destroyed.
Fortunately, the ten or so days after February turned out to be quite peaceful. The warm sun rose every day, and sometimes dark clouds gathered and drifted away for unknown reasons. The people didn't know the reason, but they just thought it was caused by the wind blowing as spring was approaching.
The farmers were busy gathering grain, and the rich took the opportunity to take care of their farms, while the soldiers stationed at the passes were increasingly on tenterhooks and waiting for danger - because the sun was getting better and the roads were no longer muddy, which meant there would be more close-quarters encounters.
With the emergence of the enemy, the war will become direct and brutal.
There are four major passes and eleven scattered passes on the borders between Hejian and Qiliang. Yan Chongyue, who was a general in Zhennan but was transferred to the north to defend the enemy, rarely left Guangtong Pass, which is close to the hinterland of Suzhou. In the past two months,
After a heavy rain, he rode his horse and led the troops to Mawei Cliff under the golden sun.
This is a dry river bed with winding and concave rock walls on both sides, criss-crossing like canine teeth. Above it stands two hills, one tall and one short. The mountains are steep and jagged with strange rocks. From the tent erected at the top, most of the
A valley comes into view, with an unobstructed view.
The two mountains are horns to each other, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"Good place."
Wearing armor, making a clanging sound.
The rough big hand holding the soft whip was waving around, as if embracing the mountains and rivers. Yan Chongyue, who was already in his fifties, rarely felt as depressed as he had been in the camp for a long time, and his words had a somewhat cheerful tone.
On the side, the warlord and eunuch Lao Shen was there, minding his own business without saying a word, holding his blue robe and walking alone outside the crowd.
With soft eyebrows and soft eyes, his eyes occasionally glanced at the soldiers gathered around Yan Chongyue, with an inexplicable expression.
Few people paid attention to this man. After all, he was a disabled person. He came from a deep palace and was ordered to go to the border by the emperor. Everyone knew what his intentions were and were unwilling to expose him.
In short, for a warrior like me, I really don't have much to say, and if I try to flatter him, I will only end up saying nothing, and even end up with the name of surrender among the generals and colleagues.
Therefore, it is still comfortable to follow the general.
The adjutant stepped forward and continued, "What the general said is true. Mawei Cliff stretches for ten miles, and it is difficult to cross on both sides. One is rugged mountains and rocks, and the other is a gurgling river. If you want to pass by, you have to cross it."
There were more than one adjutant, and there were quite a few generals below the general. They were not always in a drunken state, but they could tell that General Yan was in a good mood, so they offered their words one by one.
"It's very true, Adjutant Yang said it right. The mountain is steep and difficult to navigate. It's not much worse than Mashan and Weishan at the foot. Old hunters have to be fully prepared before they dare to set foot. If others can easily climb over it, they may lose their troops.
.”
"Not to mention Xiaochunjiang, with General Li Kuiyi guarding it, he is not afraid of the puppet Qi not coming, and will attack him head-on when he comes!"
Everyone said something to each other, telling me directly that the general was coming in person, and even if the puppet Qi tried all kinds of tricks, they would not be able to get through even half a step, and they would not dare to cross this thunderous pond.
Yan Chongyue waved his hand and refused to comment on these words.
There were not many famous generals in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but Gao Hongyan alone made the civil and military officials in the southern court dare not speak.
But having said that, the civil and military personnel in the capital are not all cowardly and incompetent people. Yan Chongyue took the position of General Zhennan for half a hundred years and sent troops to defend the enemy. It can only be said that the ability of the Da Qi commander has exceeded the court's response.
Even if he has to leave Southern Xinjiang, he must come here.
After experiencing the three dynasties of Zhao, Song, and Liang, and facing countless enemies, Yan Chongyue knew that fighting on the battlefield was far more than just arranging troops and forming formations.
The political affairs of the court are thousands of miles away, but they affect the future of tens of thousands of people under this banner.
"The fake Qi Gaohu has far-reaching strategies and unparalleled plans and cannot be underestimated. General Li in Xiaochunjiang and General Wei in Wangfengpo still need to be treated with caution."
He said this, but deep down he didn't expect these two people to be able to really drive the enemy away.
Fortunately, Li Kuiyi came from a general family. His grandfather served under the former Song Dynasty general Jiang Guangwen, and he was good at both literature, Taoism and military strategy.
And another Wei general... Although the Wei family is far from comparable to the Li family in terms of family background, this person is not very capable. If he does not move around at home, how can he be a partial general.
Even so, he found an excuse to throw it to Wangfengpo. This position at the back of the Eleventh Pass was far away from the front line, so as not to miss important events. At the same time, there was a military supervisor, so there would not be any hands on the logistics and equipment.
Chance.
"People from aristocratic families, huh."
Wei family... Huaiyin Wei family! How could Yan Chongyue not know that these insects were placed in the military camp for nothing more than money and military supplies? Fortunately, most of his military attachés were promoted by him, so he could keep an eye on them most of the time.
As for delaying military planes, causing disaster.
Let's not talk about these two people anymore, Yan Chongyue thought, he would be satisfied if they could get involved in the battle and share part of the pressure for the main camp.
"Let's go, check out the two ferries, and then set up a waiting list along the way, block off the strong winds, and divert to Yuming Pass."
Yuming, Guangtong, Jiufeng, and Dashan are the four major passes in the Hejian area. The first two are located in Daliang.
Jiufeng was also owned by Daliang. Unfortunately, the left wind blockade was broken in the spring of last year, which opened the Beiguan Cave. Most of the more than 30 counties in Hejian were occupied. Even if they were recovered one by one later, due to various factors, they could not win all.
achievement.
At that time, Jiufeng Pass and Zuofeng Pass fell into the hands of the enemy.
"If the left wind is still there, Yuming, Guangtong are arranged on the left and right, supplemented by nine peaks, and the beacon fire stretches for thousands of miles like a copper wall and an iron wall, there is no need to worry about the enemy from the north attacking the border!"
Yan Chongyue knew that it would be difficult to recapture Zuofeng Fortress. Northern Qi would not allow it, and Gao Hongyan would not be stupid enough to lose this important place.
"There are two things in marching: one is to defend the territory, and the other is to consolidate."
This sentence from the book of war that he had read somewhere came to his mind, and then he touched the sword at his waist with his palms.
"The responsibility of guarding the land..."
Unexpectedly, after half a hundred years, I still lost the vitality of my youth.
Of course, this was not because he was afraid of the enemy. Yan Chongyue looked south, separated from the beautiful city by mountains and rivers.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The peripheral vision passed by the warlord, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to be seeing the man on the golden throne in a trance.
Very young, early twenties.
We met once at a garden party eight years ago, and we haven't seen each other for a long time.
"That's it. If you do a lot, you will make a lot of mistakes."
With his thoughts sinking, he took the lead in forming a team and walked down the mountain from the narrow plank road with the others behind him.
…
The wind and clouds in the river could not affect Chen Yu. He was going through a tribulation. As the name suggests, the thunder from the sky was rolling and hitting him continuously.
At this moment, the spiritual light has calmed down and is no longer boiling, but it is dyed with a hint of bright red, and there are waves of burning hot breath filling the air.
The clouds and water mist are steaming, making the area above the thunder clouds suddenly filled with clouds and mist, making it look like a fairyland.
Chen Yu is still immersed in ignorance and feeling, leaving only a weak spiritual sense to connect with the changes in the outside world, so as not to completely lose control of transformation and sublimation.
The light is surrounded and encounters many problems in the process of sublimation. For example, in the state of ignorance of the five senses, the thunderstorm affects the control of the spell, and the overactive spirituality makes the sublimation changes difficult to be precise.
In addition, with enough Yuan blood, he transformed into a small part of his body at the critical moment, grabbed the power of creation from the Qinglong Mountain in advance to fill the flesh and blood, and then poured the Yuan blood into the spiritual light, so that the self that was born in the spiritual world would become stronger, and then he tried his best
Restless under pressure.
After stumbling along the way, I finally got through it.
However, this is only the first stage, allowing the blood and spirituality to harmonize and match. The two have not merged, but they are forced to confront each other under the impact of the thunder, so they are no longer repulsive.
Just like this, after a while, the flesh and blood melted, and a group of power hidden in the internal organs broke through the spirit-sealing technique and surged out.
The green light of mana filled the sky, and suddenly turned into a cloud, intertwined with the blood-red spiritual light, and reflected everywhere.
boom!
The thunder clouds surged and burst out with more intense white light!
In the mist, Chen Yu's consciousness woke up a little as the magic power passed. After a brief pause, he understood the current situation.
"After the blood comes mana. To be more precise, mana is the foundation of this great cycle and must adapt to the rest of the power in combinations."
Not only this round, but after the mana merges, he will become silent again, sacrifice his soul, and use the body of his soul to pour out the power of his blood. The two will also have to adapt.
Normally, these powers are distinct and do not interfere with each other even if they touch each other, but it is different now. Under the impact of thunder, the most fundamental spirituality of mana, blood, and spiritual power is shaken, and there are even signs of disintegration.
Only at this time can many forces really blend together. As he said before, it is difficult to achieve it in today's state without seeking the unity of all things. But as long as it is integrated into one and forms a system of its own, there will naturally be a way to do this in the future.
Explore above.
Now, the important thing is to step on that step and take the first step from scratch!
Buzz——
Being ignorant and insensible, the movement in the present world is so loud that it disturbs the soul deep in the consciousness, as if there is a great attraction to wake him up.
Chen Yu was unmoved. As for Yuanshen, there would be no problem. He had not expected the situation in front of him, but at the moment of waking up, he thought of it more or less.
After all, mana is condensed step by step by oneself, including fetal breath, inner energy, spirit, qi and blood, etc., and even the spirituality within it is the most abundant concentrated power.
Now he was fighting with the thunder, and the spiritual light was shattered into pieces and scattered everywhere.
The flesh was chapped, blood flowed like a gush, and the flesh and bones screamed. The magic power could not bear it and was torn apart.
This is the ‘self’ contained in the aura asking for help.
Chen Yu didn't bother to take care of it, and allowed his spirituality to be broken, and then reunited after the lightning appeared, going back and forth many times. The main consciousness was still silent, and it didn't hurt that the self entangled in the spirituality was broken.
He continued to wait until the mana was also dyed with wisps of crimson color, and feedback came from the scattered spiritual senses. Only then did Chen Yu struggle to let go of part of his mind and control the mana to return to his tattered body.
The next moment, consciousness surged, and the golden little man flew straight out of it. As the mud pill dissolved, its whole body bloomed with light, shining like a small sun in the dark space of consciousness.
Breaking through the obstacles, he took out 80% of his thoughts, leaving only a little bit to control within the body of the soul, driving the villain to cut through the surrounding fog and pass through the center of his eyebrows.
Standing in the present world.
The appearance of the Yuan Shen attracted more intense thunder than magic power, which was even more surging during the Yuan Blood period. According to the plan, it not only did not resist, but crossed the thin thunder mist in the clouds and jumped straight into the vast sea of clouds.
The white light is brilliant and the thunderbolts are beating wildly!
At this moment, the spiritual power that is most closely related to oneself and is the most fragile resolutely faces the thunder. It is not like flesh and blood, it is not like magic power, and there is no protection outside the soul.
The Hundred Aperture Technique operates on its own, and the apertures flash across the villain's body, illuminating a slender beam of light that cuts into the thunder clouds.
Boom!
There was lightning and thunder, and the orifice seemed to be connected with a bottomless pit, constantly sucking in the thunder from the outside world at this moment.
The golden body was melting, and in the next moment it was filled with the spiritual power rushing out from within. The two kept fighting with their souls as the battlefield, and countless golden flames burst out.
On the ground, a hunter walking through the forest raised his head, looked at the increasingly changing sky, and quickly turned around and returned with his companions out of the mountain.
"I don't know what's going on today. There is a constant rumble above my head, just like beating a drum. The clouds are also dark. It is estimated that there will be heavy rain in the Fanshiji area recently."
Orion and his companions said this with worries on their faces.
Going into the forest on a rainy day is the most annoying. If you are not careful, you can easily get into trouble, especially when traveling through mountains and cross-country. Hunters like them usually go into the mountains when the weather is bright and turn back before the sun sets in the evening.
Of course, what worried Orion even more was the fact that the family, the elder, the third and the younger, all said that it was obviously impossible to count on the few acres of fields that had been washed away by the heavy rain. It was a rare day with clear weather these days, so I wanted to go into the mountains to look for it.
Maybe you can get some medicinal materials and furs to supplement your family income.
On the side, my companions were helpless.
"A few days ago, Mr. Xu said that he wanted to repair the dirt road. In fact, everyone knew that he wanted to repair his big house that was washed away by the rain, so he increased the rent. If he continues to delay, I don't know how he will be urged."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The two looked at each other in silence, sighing repeatedly.
…
Above, thunder exploded in the clouds, but in fact the rain that Orion was worried about did not fall. The airspace seemed to be covered with dark clouds, but the water vapor inside was continuously collected, gathering and dispersing outside the huge haze of light in the center.
Being pulled to flow, it cannot turn into water droplets and fall.
It took a full hour for the halo to dim.
Everything gradually calmed down, and the wind and thunder stopped roaring. Chen Yuye had broken free from ignorance and woke up. His body in the rays of light was intact due to the force of creation, with a jade color looming outside his body.
Standing up, the majestic force entangled in front of him was suddenly restrained, sweeping through the wind, rain, and lightning like a whale swallowing it, swallowing up the entire airspace as if it were gluttonous.
I saw thousands of clouds turning into a handful of blue-purple light falling into my body.
His face was calm, as if he was savoring it carefully. The next moment, his eyes were thoughtful, he opened his mouth and burped, spitting out a faint light.
When the light fell, it was not bright and conspicuous, just an ordinary white color. However, in Chen Yu's eyes, it was another amazing sight - the fine textures were woven, and the hair was thin and gleaming. With his eyesight and
I couldn't even count how many there were for a while.
This was far more complicated than spiritual literature, and even made him think he had gained insight into the essence of spirituality.
"It's finally over."
Chen Yu stood up and stood still in the air. The plan included the smelting of Yuan blood, the reconciliation of mana, and the submersion of Yuan Shen into the sea of thunder. All the steps were completed one by one. Finally, with the help of violent thunder, a three-law system was initially constructed.
General circulation in the body.
However, how effective it will be remains to be verified.
Here, he tried the results. He breathed out, the clouds and mist flowed, and his thoughts followed his heart. They naturally gathered into the wind and were lifted under his feet.
There are no spiritual characters flying and no mana pouring out.
This is how the magic appears.
His face did not change, he coughed, and traces of silver floated out from the seven orifices. If you could look through the physical body and look into the space of consciousness, you would find that the soul was completely broken and lying in the void.
It trembles slightly from time to time, as if something is sealed in the deepest part. While doing its best to provide for itself, it tries hard not to let it move.
To the outside world, Chen Yu didn't care about anything else and just continued to experiment.
Collapsing Mountains, Riding the Wind and Transforming Rainbows, Spectroscopy...
Spells, formations...
At this moment, he was completely free of spiritual texts and could cast corresponding spells just by thinking.
After trying for a while, Chen Yu became clearer and clearer, his eyes shone brightly, as if he had thought of something, the corners of his lips curled up, and his face became more eager to try.
