Located between the northern and southern forces, roughly equivalent to the Xiangfan area in ancient times, there was a tense atmosphere in Bianhuangji.
In ancient times, Xiangfan was often the most important military hub when fighting between the north and the south. To the west was a mountainous area with rugged and difficult-to-travel roads, while to the east was the Jianghuai plain with crisscrossed water networks, which was also not conducive to the passage of large armies. Therefore, regardless of the southern or northern expeditions in the past dynasties,
, the Xiangfan area is a battleground for military strategists.
In fact, the formation of Bianhuangji did not take long. At that time, the Western Jin Dynasty was destroyed and the north was in chaos. The barbarians were busy fighting for territory and had no time to look south. When they finally made a name for themselves, the Eastern Jin Dynasty had another unrivaled person who was able to dance with the chicken and strike at the enemy.
The hero Zu Ti crossed the river and went north, but Shi Le, who was nicknamed the King of Zhao, was so scared that he did not dare to say a word about the southern expedition. When Zu Ti died, Shi Le also gave up his ambition, and then from Shi Le to Shi Hu, he was more than successful but not aggressive.
After Shi Hu, Ran Min became emperor and fought another fierce battle with Murong Xianbei. The Murong family relied on smuggling to transport a once-in-a-hundred-year-level famous general. Murong Ke killed Ran Wei and established Qian Yan. Unfortunately, the entire Murong family
He was such a talented person. When Murong Ke was alive, Qian Yan was flourishing. After his death, Qian Yan immediately started fighting among himself crazily and was soon destroyed... The fighting went back and forth, although he occasionally aimed towards the south.
They took advantage of each other for a few times, but in the end they were unable to gain a foothold - all the Hus were based in the north, and their own armies were not large, so it was impossible to put a large army in the south. Although there were not so many things going on in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, internal fighting
The fierceness is even worse. In the past, Zu Ti died of worry and anger because he was squeezed out by internal fighting... It can be seen at a glance that both the north and the south are of this nature, and Xiangfan caught in the middle will naturally become useless. No matter who
They were unwilling to actually spend a large army to ensure the occupation, so they benefited from a group of refugees from all over the country and established the so-called "Border Wasteland Collection".
The residents of Bianhuangji call themselves "Huangren". They have always felt that they are very capable, and neither the Jin Han in the south nor the barbarians in the north can do anything to them. However, since Fu Jian's Northern Expedition, their confidence has changed.
It was easily crushed to pieces.
Whether it's the north or the south, there are tens of thousands of troops at every turn, and Bianhuangji tried his best and could only gather less than 8,000 troops. If you use 8,000 to fight tens of thousands, losing is normal, but winning is the opposite.
Abnormal! Not only that, Huangren risked his life and managed to retreat from the former Qin Dynasty by taking advantage of the fire. He also defeated Helian Bobo with half luck and half strength. As a result, Murong Chui and Sun En came hand in hand, and Huangren
After all, the people couldn't stop them, and it was only with the help of the aliens that they were able to retreat without too much loss. It wasn't until Murong Chui led his troops back north that the protagonist Yan Fei and the aliens used a series of strange moves to defeat them.
The various people who occupied the borderland regained their homes - this is the theme of the first fourteen volumes of the novel, the first battle of the borderland.
And now, the second border battle is unfolding. Murong Chui of the Xianbei tribe has sent his most capable son Murong Ling, Yao Chang of the Qiang tribe and Sima Daozi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty have personally led the troops. The Maitreya Sect has also launched a large-scale attack, and the troops of the four families have
The total is close to 80,000!
Cheng Peng was sitting in a tavern in Bianhuangji, frowning as he looked at the soldiers passing by on the street outside.
Although these Huangren soldiers are all strong and seem to have about four-star elementary strength or higher. Compared with other armies in this world, they are indeed elite, but their faces are full of
Worry, he has neither the confidence that he can fight and win, nor the courage to fight to the death. What Cheng Peng saw on the faces of these desolate people was confusion and distress, and what he saw was sadness and ignorance.
At a loss.
Can the war be won with such an army?
He shook his head, picked up his glass and drank alone.
In order to save food, the taverns in Bianhuangji no longer sell wine. He bought this wine from the Star Gate auction house - this is a fine wine called "Qingxiquan", produced in Huang Yi's novel
The world of "Rain and Cloud" is one of the most famous local products in that world.
The wine pot of "Qingxixiquan" is very small and exquisite. In the thin blue and white porcelain, swallows on the branches are spreading their wings, and the mountain stream seems to be flowing. The drinkers sitting by the stream admiring the flowers seem to be drunk at any time.
Sleeping soundly - this is not the skill of Zuo Shi, the goddess of wine in the story, but the work of a production player who has a good relationship with her.
Thanks to this player, a pot of this kind of clear stream spring weighs less than half a catty, and the bottom of the pot is stamped with the seal of "Qianpin Cat". A pot is sold for five taels of gold! This is already a four-star silver grade high-grade product.
For the price of the equipment, you can even buy a piece of five-star silver level equipment that you can easily get for the price of ten pots or eight pots.
The physiques of the adventure players have already exceeded the level of ordinary people. Drinking two or three kilograms at a time is no problem. However, drinking twenty or thirty taels of gold at a time? This makes people feel a little wasteful, at least most players are usually reluctant to do so.
Spending money indiscriminately.
Cheng Peng originally didn't want to be so wasteful, but after sitting here eating for a while, he felt bored. Then he looked around and quickly understood the problem - there were players and NPCs in this tavern. It was just NPCs, players.
Almost everyone has wine bottles and flasks on the table... No wonder when he was sitting here eating, he heard players not far away looking at him and whispering, wondering whether he was a player or an NPC.
He didn't intend to pretend to be an NPC now, so since the players had all bought one or two bottles, he naturally didn't have to do the same, so he opened the Star Gate auction house and accidentally bought four bottles of Clear Stream Spring.
Apparently some of the nearby players were knowledgeable about the goods. After a while, someone came over and wanted to share a cup.
"This guy seems to be quite handsome." The player with a chubby and thick businessman's face smiled and dragged a stool over and sat opposite Cheng Peng, "My name is Cangshan Xue, I am a news collector.
Thanks to all my friends, I am doing some small business here. What do you call me?"
"Cheng Peng."
"Oh... what a good name! It's a journey of thousands of miles!" Cangshan Xue didn't think of anything from the name Cheng Peng - the name Cheng Peng is too common. There are not only 100,000 but also 80,000 Chinese people with this name.
, after all, the good word "Pengcheng Wanli" is almost a household name. When the director of the orphanage gave Cheng Peng this name, it also meant Pengcheng Wanli... So Cangshan Xue just nodded and started to promote his own.
Business, "As for my old man, I like to drink some wine by nature, and 60% of my usual income goes to good wine. However, I have been unlucky recently, and my money is a bit tight. I haven't had a good wine in a long time——
Alas! It’s okay if you can’t see it. When I see the clear stream like Brother Cheng, the wine bug in my stomach is screaming. I have no choice but to shamelessly ask my brother if I can exchange the news for some wine. "
Cheng Peng smiled and pushed two of the four wine bottles in front of him.
"That's a coincidence. I've been here not long ago, and I was planning to find someone to ask how the plot is going and whether there are any tasks."
Cang Shanxue laughed loudly, picked up a bottle of wine, and raised her neck to get a small half of the bottle. Her face suddenly became more radiant, and her speech seemed to be more flexible: "Brother, you have asked the right person! I and the plot NPC
'Wind Media' Gao Yan has a good relationship, and I have obtained a lot of internal information from him, some of which can indeed lead to good tasks."
"It's just... I always pay attention to fairness in business. When introducing tasks to others, I will consider whether the other party can complete them, so as not to accidentally cheat others." The pair of smiling little eyes looked up and down.
Looking at Cheng Peng, he did not use the evaluation command impolitely, "Brother, what are your abilities? What level of tasks can you handle? I have to know this first before I can introduce it to you."
Cheng Peng was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
He stretched out his right hand, and a ball of water vapor suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand. The water vapor accumulated thicker and thicker. It turned into white mist at first, and then gradually gathered into a water ball, but not a drop dropped, just like a thick solid ball.
, floating quietly in the air.
"Gathering Qi into water? Brother, are you from the magic system?"
Cheng Peng shook his head. The nature of the true energy suddenly changed. The water ball was heated by high temperature and boiled instantly. However, no matter how it boiled, the generated water vapor could never escape half a foot from the surrounding area, as if there was an invisible cover shutting them in.
Seeing this scene, Cang Shanxue's eyes suddenly widened.
He is a knowledgeable person, so he naturally understands how powerful it is to instantly transform attributes and restrain steam - the former means that he has the ability to control the energy of both ice and fire systems, regardless of the legal system or martial arts system, and the latter means that he can control the energy of the two systems.
Qi or magic power forms an invisible force field. Those who can do this must be at least five-star mid-level or above, and have fully cultivated their own field.
But things are not just that simple. From the beginning to now, he has not felt any significant field fluctuations in Cheng Peng, even when Cheng Peng uses his skills. This means that Cheng Peng has been able to put his
The domain is completely closed, and it will not be easily revealed even in battle - this kind of strength can only be achieved by a master at the level commonly known as the "True Six-Star"!
Ever since Cheng Peng defeated the rest of the pack against ten on the top of Mount Huashan, players have started to talk about six-star masters as "true six-stars" and "quasi-six-stars". The so-called "quasi-six-stars" refer to
The kind of character who has enough experience and is promoted to six stars; and the so-called "true six stars" are masters like Cheng Peng who have completely condensed their own "Tao".
Although the level of quasi-six-star and true six-star are the same, their combat power is very different. The former is just higher than the ordinary five-star peak attributes. It can use some more advanced skills and equipment, and can enter a more advanced world. There is no
A qualitative leap; but the latter is a strongman who can directly crush the five-star peak and fight against the common seven-star monsters.
Cangshan Xueping has seen many characters who claim to be masters, but because he is not a master himself and rarely comes into contact with the master level, the most powerful ones he has seen are peak five-star or quasi-six-star masters. True six-star masters have always been just
Famous but never met, now I suddenly found out that a player I thought was just a player turned out to be a real six-star player who is on top of billions of players, and I was immediately shocked.
"You...you are Cheng Peng?!" His mind was also quite flexible, and he guessed the identity of the person in front of him after a moment's thought - although there are thousands of Cheng Peng in the adventure, the true six-star
But there is only one Cheng Peng!
"What kind of tasks are suitable for me?" Cheng Peng did not dwell on his identity, but directly asked the topic.
Cang Shanxue looked Cheng Peng up and down, his face full of surprise, and he was speechless for a moment - it felt like it would affect his vision. He didn't know Cheng Peng's identity just now, he just thought that this brother in gray robe was a rich man who didn't show off his wealth.
Now that the cautious person knows Cheng Peng's identity, he feels that the gray earthworm robe exudes confidence and restraint, the kind of heroic temperament that says "I don't need external modifications". Compared with
In the usual forum videos, the golden armor that is both powerful and easy-going is more approachable and approachable, fully demonstrating the simple and noble inner world of a top master...
When Cheng Peng asked again, he came back to his senses, quickly opened his electronic notebook, and searched through the collected clues, trying to find a mission worthy of Cheng Peng's identity and strength.
He sold good tasks for two pots of Qingxi Spring with a total price of ten taels of gold. He was not afraid of any losses. Those high-level tasks were originally in vain, and things that could not be sold were worthless. Not to mention Cheng Peng's reputation was excellent.
, equal to strength is fairness and credibility. If something can really be gained, his share will definitely not be missed.
So after searching for a while, he actually found a suitable task for Cheng Peng.
"Now various armies are besieging Bianhuangji. The protagonist Yan Fei is planning to find someone to assassinate the commanders of various armies. I can recommend him to you!"
——————
I feel like my condition is getting worse and worse recently... I seem to have fallen into a low ebb, both in the plot and myself...
