Inside Yangping Pass, Du Ning hurried over carrying his big axe.
Luo Yi, who was on the top of the city, raised his eyes and looked into the distance. He could see spots of fire and noisy people in the Taishi camp in the distance. It was obvious that there was something strange going on.
Luo Yi's heart sank: "I'm afraid it's not a good thing."
The two men were responsible for guarding Yangping Pass, which was supposed to be the second line of defense set up by Cao Su. However, the first line of defense at Baima Ferry was defeated too quickly. There is still no news from Zhang Ke, which casts a shadow on the frontline defense.
Now, the general's order came, ordering everyone to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and defend Yangping Pass to the death.
In fact, there is nothing to clear up in this "strong wall to clear the country". Outside the entire Yangping Pass, there are no residents. After Yangping Pass, there are a large number of Jizhou cities and Jizhou people.
Du Ning said in a rough voice, "Is there any news?"
Luo Yi shook his head.
At this time, a black-armored warrior came flying quietly from a distance.
The black-armored warrior was the spy sent out by Luo Yi.
Luo Yi's eyes lit up: "There's news."
Du Ning knew that Luo Yi had set up many open and hidden sentries on the mountain, specifically to prevent the enemy from attacking from the top of the mountain.
The roads on both sides of Yangping Pass are rugged and difficult for the army to pass. If it were Du Ning, he would not spend his experience paying attention to these two places.
But Luo Yi was very cautious. He deployed defenses not only in the city, but also on the mountains. He considered it more comprehensively. This was something that Du Ning admired.
Therefore, although Du Ning's martial arts skills are superior to Luo Yi's, according to his military position, Luo Yiguan is older than Du Ning.
The black-armored warrior came in a hurry, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Two generals, news came from the secret sentry on the mountain. Just now, many generals with high-level strength in the enemy's camp rushed straight to the top of the mountain."
A high-level warrior in the realm of strength will go straight to the top of the mountain?
Luo Yi and Du Ning looked at each other, both of them were very shocked.
There is a gap in high-end combat capabilities between the two sides, but neither side knows how big the gap is.
The same applies to the Taishi camp. At present, we only know that Cao's army does not have many high-end combat capabilities. No one knows how many high-end combat capabilities Cao Su has deployed at Yangping Pass. Therefore, in the early stages of the battle, it must be based on testing.
Luo Yi got the news from this few words. Among Chu Xinfeng's soldiers and horses, there were probably many high-ranking ones in the power realm.
In the entire Yangping Pass, Cao Su only left Du Ning and Heng Xuesong, two high-ranking warriors, among whom Heng Xuesong had returned to Jizhou Prefecture to report on his duties and was not at the pass yet.
"In the capital of the gods, there are many high-ranking ones in the power realm. In the past, the three of us brothers were not the most powerful generals under the general's mansion."
Du Ning was rough but thoughtful. He noticed Luo Yi's worries and spoke in a low voice to explain.
Luo Yi was also a general who had been in the city of Gods, but at that time he was in a low-level position and had limited access to many high-grade force-realm generals. Looking at it now, the number of high-grade force-realm generals in the Taishi camp is definitely far higher than it is today.
The camp of the great general.
This matter is no small matter, it is equivalent to an important piece of information, and the general must be notified quickly.
"In addition, there are some ancient big families in the capital of the gods. I heard that these families have now joined the Grand Master camp. Grand Master Rong has absorbed the power of these families. For example, Chu Xinfeng is an example.
The number will further increase.”
"If the general wants to defeat the grand master, his high-level combat power must continue to increase."
Everyone understands what Du Ning can see.
Luo Yi knew that Cao Su was already in close contact with the Jianghu sects in the four states, but these Jianghu sects were all experienced and would not easily invest capital in Cao Su. If Cao Su won, it would indeed be theirs.
A good harvest, but once Cao Su is defeated, it will definitely be a disaster for these Jianghu sects that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.
No one can afford to offend the Grand Master camp who defeated the general.
Both of them fell silent, feeling extremely stressed.
"You don't need to worry about high-grade combat power."
Just as the two were hesitating and sighing, their ears suddenly heard a familiar voice.
This sound reached the ears of two people at the same time, and both of them were shocked and showed surprise.
"General!"
Under the moonlight, a tall figure suddenly stood on the tower in the middle of the night.
He was wearing black armor, holding a sword in his hand, looking down at the people with his stern eyes, and he had an air of majesty.
The two of them used Qinggong and immediately flew up to the tower to greet Cao Su.
Seeing this, the surrounding officers and soldiers of Cao's army also knelt on one knee.
Cao Suping gestured to everyone that there was no need to be polite.
Luo Yi, Du Ning and others were very excited to see Cao Su, but at the same time they also showed a trace of doubt. Especially Luo Yi, thinking of what happened on the mountain today: "General, how did you come to the pass?"
Cao Su said in a deep voice: "Three armies of Rongzheng Army are attacking me. Chu Xinfeng's army is the absolute main force. The other two armies are easy to deal with."
"Chu Xinfeng's group came from the Forbidden Army, and also gathered some elites from the Yulin Army and the Yuzhou Prefecture Army. The individual combat strength may not be inferior to our army, so we have to repel Rongzheng's three groups of troops. Chu Xinfeng's group
is the key."
"No matter if his main force is biased, if one group is defeated, the other two groups will also be affected."
The two nodded and understood what Cao Su meant, but Cao Su came alone.
Cao Su continued: "I have arranged reinforcements on the road. Chu Xinfeng's road is stronger because it has more high-grade combat power and more Qi refiners. Tonight, they were probably planning to prepare some kind of formation. Between the two
A formation was set up on the side of the mountain, but unfortunately I happened to encounter them, so I took care of a bunch of Qigong warriors in their army."
Cao Su smiled. It was really hard to find a place without the help of iron shoes. It took no effort to get it. It is not easy to kill a Qi Refiner in the chaos, but without the protection of a martial artist, it is so straightforward.
Meeting a Qi Refiner face to face, especially such a weak Qi Refiner, is to kill Cao Su, especially now that Cao Su has mastered the Mysterious Body of Divine Thunder, his Purple Thunder Sword is like a dream, and his body skills are like thunder.
The magic is as fast as lightning, and it is the absolute nemesis of defeating these Qi refiners.
He had gained a lot tonight, and his trip was not in vain.
After hearing what Cao Su said, the two were shocked. Unexpectedly, the enemy army quietly reached the top of the mountain and prepared a formation.
No matter what the formation is, since it was secretly set up late at night, it must be a formation that is not good for Yangping Pass.
Luo Yi's face was livid, and he raised his hands to plead guilty: "General, it was the last general who failed to detect the situation and allowed the enemy to take advantage of the loophole."
Luo Yi had actually set up defenses on the mountain, but the Qi Refiners were cunning and secretive. There were many ways to avoid the detection of these ordinary sergeants and reach the top of the mountain.
Cao Su waved his hand: "I have seen the spies on the mountain, and you have thought of this, but there are some things that cannot be done just by thinking of them. This is not your problem."
Luo Yi said in a deep voice: "General, what should we do next?"
The original order given by Cao Su to the two of them was to fortify the walls and clear the country, and defend Yangping Pass. Now that Cao Su has arrived at Yangping Pass in person, the next strategy depends on how Cao Su arranges it.
The two focused their attention on Cao Su. The most troublesome issue was the lack of high-end combat power in Yangping Pass.
And Cao Su had just said that the high-end combat power of the Grand Master camp did not need to be considered by the two of them.
"You two continue to guard Yangping Pass and don't let any of Rong Zheng's soldiers pass through here."
"I will find a way to deal with the enemy's high-end combat power. I have killed a lot of Qi Practitioners tonight. I estimate that the enemy will take a break for the time being. You should be prepared."
Cao Su killed so many Qi Practitioners tonight, and Chu Xinfeng was even more confused about how many top martial artists and Qi Refinement Practitioners there were in Cao Su's army.
What follows is a higher-level game. It is different from the time when Cao Su led his army to fight. Today's war has become a more high-level fight. In comparison, the strength of the soldiers at the bottom does not occupy the same position.
More scenes.
When the two of them heard that Cao Su was so confident, they were both convinced, so they stopped talking and took the order and left with fists in hand.
Cao Su stood on the city tower and looked at the Grand Master's camp in the distance, as if he could see the enemy's panic.
Overnight, the monks suffered heavy casualties. Next, Rong Zheng should find a way to replenish the number of Qi Refiners on the front line.
Cao Su's eyes flashed, and he had a plan in mind.
——
For several days, there was no movement from Chu Xinfeng's side.
Cao Su, on the other hand, personally sat in Yangping Pass, practicing in seclusion high on the city tower, as if waiting for the opponent's next wave of offensive.
Normally, no one came to disturb Cao Su, but a rumor spread inside the pass, saying that the general had arrived at the pass in person to fight the enemy with the other generals.
Seeing is believing, I haven’t seen the general, so it’s just a guess.
On this day, Cao Su opened the door of the house.
It's a bit hot in Jizhou in summer, and thick dark clouds are high in the sky.
It seems to indicate the coming storm.
Cao Su narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the cool breeze blowing between heaven and earth.
Not long after, several streams of light flew from behind and appeared one by one in front of Cao Su.
"Meet the General."
"Meet the General!"
There are eight people in total. In addition to Jin Mu Jin Kun, there are also Wang Qing, Heng Xuesong, Wan Buping, Mu Xiuyuan, You Gaohan and others.
Everyone, led by Cao Su, wore black clothes and various masks.
At this time, the people on the city tower had been cleared by Cao Su, and no one was disturbed when everyone fell down.
Cao Su knew everyone's identities, and everyone knew each other, but after putting on the mask, it seemed as if they didn't know their identities all of a sudden, or they pretended not to know.
"Stop calling me General."
Cao Su frowned and said: "This time I will lead you to intercept Rong Zheng's follow-up support. It would be disrespectful to call me a general. You should just simply call me big brother."
Everyone immediately looked at each other with very wonderful expressions.
There is definitely no problem with Cao Su being the "big brother". The problem is that Cao Su is only in his twenties. There is no one here who is dozens of years older than Cao Su. The youngest Wan Buping is now in his forties.
A man.
Several people rushed to Yangping Pass under Cao Su's summons. Cao Su didn't say much to the crowd and just waved his hand.
Several streaks of light began to make a detour and flew towards the west.
——
A few days ago, Jizhou Hongye Palace.
The Lord of Hongye Palace traveled to Gaohan and received a letter from Cao Su.
In the past, Hongye Palace was regarded as the sect at the junction of Lingzhou and Guangzhou. For most of the time, Hongye Palace was regarded as the sect of Lingzhou.
However, in recent years, with the expansion of the three major sects in Lingzhou, Hongye Palace, which is the first-class sect in Lingzhou, has also had a hard time. As the master of Hongye Palace, You Gaohan has been forced to transfer some of the sect's properties.
Start thinking of ways to penetrate into Gwangju and other places.
During this period, we also encountered difficulties from big thieves like Wei Hai, which almost brought the entire sect into trouble.
Hongye Palace can't afford to struggle. Although it is a first-class sect, in the eyes of the real top forces in the world, it is as weak as an ant and can be easily crushed.
You Gaohan is also trying to make a career in the north and has already opened branches in Gwangju and other places.
Unexpectedly, the entire north also experienced drastic changes. General Cao Su sent his troops out of Youzhou and directly captured the four northern states, becoming the true overlord of the north, with millions of men in armor and countless capable ministers and generals under his command.
This terrifying force was even more terrifying than the previous three major forces in Lingzhou, making You Gaohan shudder.
If Hongye Palace wants to survive in the north, it can only rely on or follow the arrangements of the general.
Most of the time, You Gaohan is satisfied with the "business environment" in the north. Especially not long ago, Jizhou Prefecture opened the Beiwu School. Hongye Palace, as a representative of the new forces in the north, also received two places.
An outstanding disciple was sent to the school for further study.
According to the news from the disciples, the atmosphere in the school is excellent, there are a lot of resources in various martial arts, and there are top martial artists such as generals teaching them, so they are making rapid progress.
It is expected that he will reach the fourth level within this year, and then he can try the upper level within three years of school.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If any disciple succeeds in reaching the high-level realm, then the strength of the entire Red Leaf Palace will be greatly increased.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and this happiness came at a price.
You Gaohan held the letter from Cao Su, his face uncertain.
Several important elders in the palace didn't know why You Gaohan had such an expression. When they wanted to read the letter, You Gaohan had already put it away.
"Elders, I have a question that I would like to ask you."
Although You Gaohan is young, he has outstanding martial arts skills and is one of the best leaders in the history of Hongye Palace. Currently, the Hongye Palace sect is showing signs of vigorous development, and You Gaohan is indispensable.
Although the elders didn't know what letter Cao Su sent, they thought it must be very important and confidential, otherwise You Gaohan would not prevent everyone from circulating it.
"Palace Master, it doesn't matter if you say so."
Several elders were old and aged, but their eyes were clear. They sat under You Gaohan and listened to You Gaohan's words.
You Gaohan asked in a deep voice: "If the general wants to ask me to do something, should I go or not?"
Should I go to the general's invitation?
This question was so acute that several elders changed their expressions slightly.
An elder asked: "Is this a personal invitation from the general or an invitation from the general's palace?"
You Gaohan shook his head: "I didn't explain."
The elder hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "On a small scale, if it is considered a private invitation from the general, then the palace master should go there. After all, the palace master represents you. But if you go to the big general
It’s said that it’s an invitation from the General’s Palace, so I hope the Palace Master will be cautious, as any sect that gets too close to the government in history seems to have no good results.”
The relationship with the government is something every sect needs to learn to handle.
The atmosphere in Hongye Palace was very solemn, and You Gaohan asked again: "What will happen to the general if you don't go?"
After his words fell, several elders immediately spoke to retort. One elder reminded You Gaohan: "Palace Master, don't forget about the Youbei Alliance."
In the past, in Youzhou Prefecture, all the sects in Youzhou were against Cao Su. What was the final result? Yun Zhengxin was killed, the entire Youbei League was uprooted, Piaoxue City was even renamed, and the Piaoxue Sect was in ruins ever since.
, it has lost its former glory as the largest sect in Youzhou.
Now that Cao Su's power has greatly increased and he is the real overlord of the north, Hongye Palace does not dare to offend Cao Su, at least it cannot become his enemy.
This is the bottom line that many elders believe.
An elder suggested: "If it is out of personal affection, it would be okay for the palace master to help the general, so that the general can still owe the palace master a favor."
You Gaohan explained: "Others may not know it's me who is doing this, but only the general knows it well."
As soon as this was said, everyone became even more happy. Isn't this something that everyone is happy with?
Several elders looked at each other, then smiled and said: "Palace Master, it's okay to go. Now there is Chiyun Sect in Jizhou, Dingtian Palace in Guangzhou, but there is no super sect in Youzhou. If we can establish a good relationship with the general, I will
I think the future layout in Youzhou will be smoother."
