As the new year is approaching, a heavy snowfall has covered the earth with a layer of silver. As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and there will surely be another good harvest in the coming year. First update on the novel website
Standing on the wall of Qingtian City, Ling Tong greedily took a breath of cold air. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but even the air in his hometown always felt better.
In the recent great battle, a group of new generals emerged in Qingtian City. Among them, Ling Tong was undoubtedly the most dazzling one. After returning to the city, he was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of Qingtian City. Although this official position is not prestigious,
, but he holds real power, which is equivalent to putting the safety of the entire Qingtian City in his hands.
While Ling Tong was grateful, he also felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders. After all, although Qingtian City is still only a first-class capital and is far less magnificent than Chang'an and Luoyang in the past, when it comes to prestige, it is even better.
No less than that, not only because it is the number one city in the player's territory, but also because it represents the eleven counties (six counties in Jiangdong and four counties in Jingnan) of the four states (Yong, Liang, Yi, Jiao) governed by Qingtian City.
and Nanyang County) are the core of this half of the country. Today, even Xuchang, where the emperor lives, can hardly have the prestige of Qingtian City today.
Now, since Ling Tong became the commander of the military academy, he rarely returns home. He spends all day either practicing martial arts in the military camp or leading his subordinates to inspect the city defense. For this reason, although Ling Cao is always in front of others,
He is humble, but anyone can see a bit of showing off in his slender smile.
As the capital of half of the country, Qingtian City is now even more prosperous. Even if it is blocked by heavy snow, there is still an endless stream of players and traders coming and going from Qingtian City. The power of Qingtian City has now penetrated the Central Plains, and the headquarters of Qingtian Chamber of Commerce is located in
Here, there are all kinds of goods from south to north, which also attracts many traders to come here.
"Huh?" Ling Tong, who was inspecting the city gate, suddenly focused his eyes and shot sharply into the distance. Seeing Ling Tong stop, the surrounding soldiers stopped quickly and followed Ling Tong's gaze.
In the distance, on the official road that was buried in heavy snow and had not yet been cleared, a vague figure gradually appeared in everyone's sight. White horses and silver spears, and even the armor and uniforms were white. If Ling Tong hadn't had extraordinary eyesight,
It's really hard to find in this kind of snow.
The war horse on its crotch was very powerful. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached 500 meters outside the city. The knight on the horse looked a little embarrassed. The shirt on his shoulders was badly damaged. There were many cracks in the armor on his body.
The white horse had also begun to foam at the mouth. It was obvious that it had been running for days and was exhausted.
Ling Tong frowned and waved his hand. Several of his subordinates immediately went down to the city and commanded the troops to start evacuating the people. Player, Ling Tong took a long bow. Seeing that the opponent had no intention of stopping, he opened the bow fiercely and shot an arrow.
As fast as a meteor, it crossed a hundred meters in an instant, and the long wolf-toothed arrow penetrated the snow for more than three inches, leaving only the tail of the arrow trembling in the air.
The knight on the horse reined in the horse, and the horse neighed, turned its hooves, and instantly ran through an arc in the snow, showing his extraordinary riding skills.
"Stop the visitor!" Ling Tong stared at the visitor's face and shouted: "Unless the battle report is sent back, no one in Qingtian City is allowed to gallop. If you want to enter the city, please dismount!"
The knight on the horse slowly raised his head, revealing a handsome and resolute face. Although he looked embarrassed, there was an extraordinary spirit in his eyes. Even Ling Tong couldn't help but secretly cheer.
"In Marquis Wen's tent, Zhao Zilong from Changshan has something important to ask to see the King of Wu. Please tell me, General!" Under the city, a knight shouted loudly. Although his voice was hoarse, it was extremely loud. Many players around him couldn't help but light up when they heard this.
"Zhao Zilong, what an idol!" A player's eyes lit up and he was about to step forward to talk, but was blocked by the surrounding soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order...
"General Zilong, please wait a moment. I'll send you the message right now!" Ling Tong looked solemn and apologized quickly. He turned around and galloped towards Prince Wu's Mansion. In the past few days, there have been constant reports of wars in Jiangbei. Originally, Sun Ce and
When Lü Bu started the war, they were always evenly matched. Lü Bu was the most brave in the world. He had Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Gao Shun under his command, all of whom were strong generals who could stand alone. Sun Ce was naturally not as good as Lü Bu in generals, but he had a top strategist named Zhou Yu to help him. He was far superior in this regard.
Much better than Lu Bu.
However, as the war in Hebei ended, Cao Cao did not rest for some unknown reason. After returning to Xuchang, he sent out troops again. Taking advantage of the battle between Lu Bu and Sun Ce in Huainan, he raided Pengcheng, which immediately put Lu Bu into the embarrassing situation of being attacked from both sides.
.
Originally, Lu Bu was so proud that he would never ask for help easily even if he was attacked from both sides. However, the rebellion of the Chen family and his son, and the successive losses of Donghai and Taishan counties, made Lu Bu feel that he was at the end of his rope. Under the influence of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others,
After persuasion, he finally put down his face and sent Zhao Yun to ask Qin Tian for help.
"When did this happen!?" Qin Tian quickly met with Zhao Yun. With his current status and strength, he is no longer as jealous of these famous historical generals in China as ordinary players. He listened to Zhao Yun tell the whole story.
After telling it briefly, he asked in a deep voice.
"Three days ago!" Zhao Yun's hoarse voice made people feel a little sad.
"Transmit my military order to Gan Ning, Ling Cao, and Huang Gai to lead the navy to harass Lujiang and Guangling areas, harass Sun Ce's grain road, and contain Sun Ce's navy! Teng Fang and Jiang Jin gathered the Overlord's Blood Cavalry and prepared to follow me.
Go to war!" Qin Tian did not hesitate too much. Three days, with Cao Cao's ability, was enough to determine the outcome of a battle. What's more, there were some aristocratic families in Xuzhou who were secretly causing trouble.
The rescue of Lu Bu is not just for personal reasons. Lu Bu's existence has a great restraint effect on Sun Ce and Cao Cao. He is also the only prince among the princes today who can form an alliance with Qingtian City. Once Lu Bu is destroyed, Qingtian City will also
Facing the conquests of the two major princes, Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Qingtian City's battle front is already very long. Although most of them have dangerous natural chasms, once the two families join forces, although they may not care about one at the expense of the other, Qingtian City will inevitably fall into an extremely passive situation.
"Zilong, I'm afraid you don't have much time to rest. The army cannot go out immediately, but I will lead my personal guards to go first. You have to go with me!" Qin Tian looked at Zhao Yun and said in a deep voice, Eight Hundred Overlord's Blood
Cavalry, after the Battle of Nanyang, has been improved a lot. It is no exaggeration to say that with these 800 blood cavalry accompanying them, Qin Tian would dare to fight against an army of one million!
"But according to King Wu's instructions! Yun Dai Wenhou has thanked King Wu first." Zhao Yun did not expect Qin Tian to agree so easily, and couldn't help but have a touch of joy on his face, and he bowed his hands and saluted.
"No need to say thank you. Helping Marquis Wen is also helping myself." Qin Tian smiled and waved to ask Zhao Yun to take him down to rest.
"Lord." Jia Xu stood beside Qin Tian and opened his mouth, but said nothing.
"Wen He blames me for being reckless?" Qin Tian looked at Jia Xu. The two had known each other for a long time. Although Jia Xu didn't say anything, Qin Tian could hear Jia Xu's accusation.
"I don't dare. Although Marquis Wen is not directly subordinate to my lord, he can be regarded as a big help for our army to contain the princes of the Central Plains. We can save ourselves, but only one general is enough. My lord is now the King of Wu, and he has thousands of connections.
If the safety of thousands of people is at stake, how can you put yourself in danger?" Jia Xu said with a wry smile and shook his head.
Sighing lightly, Qin Tian shook his head and said: "The situation in Xuzhou has been irreversibly corrupted. I have a feeling that this time may be the last time Marquis Wen and I meet. Our old friend is leaving. This last journey,
Why not send it away? I have already made up my mind, so the teacher doesn’t need to persuade me anymore.”
Zhao Yun was in the middle of the game and couldn't see through it. In other words, he could see through it, but he always held on to a trace of fantasy and was unwilling to face the ending he didn't want to see. But Qin Tian, as a bystander, could see through it very clearly.
, the three counties of Donghai, Pengcheng, and Taishan fell. Guangling was the territory of the Chen family. Now the Chen family has turned against them, and the Chen family's roots are inextricably linked to powerful people from all over Xuzhou. If Lu Bu was more ruthless, he would make drastic changes as soon as he arrived in Xuzhou.
, there may be something that can be done to limit the potential of the aristocratic families, but both Lu Bu and the players under him have illusions about those aristocratic families, which ultimately led to the current uncontrollable situation. Even if Qin Tian wanted to save him, he was unable to reverse it.
God, now I can only do my best and obey fate. It would be great if I could save Lu Bu. If I can't, I can't blame myself...
Jia Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew very well that once Qin Tian made a decision, even ten cows would not be able to pull him back. He could only smile bitterly and nodded: "In this case, I still need to make some plans. Jia Xu resigned."
"Well, I'll see you off, teacher." Qin Tian nodded. In a duel, Qin Tian is not afraid of anyone, but when it comes to mastering the macro to the details, he still cannot do without the planning of Jia Xu, a top strategist. Jia Xu can help him.
It's better to plan than to figure it out on your own, like a half-assed person.
Jia Xu nodded and did not refuse.
In the palace, there is a lively and busy scene. The servants are busy coming in and out under the command of Luo Yun, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. It is so lively. Chinese New Year is a tradition of the Chinese people. It is the same even in games. Almost most of the time
After spending time in the game, they have unknowingly been completely immersed in this world. It is different from reality. After all, it is set in ancient times, and the pace of life is not as tense as in reality. No matter how busy they are, they still have time to go home for the New Year.
Seeing Qin Tian and Jia Xu coming out, people all along the way bowed and saluted. Luo Yun looked at Qin Tian and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The news in the palace was never hidden from her. She knew that there was another battle to be fought, but she didn't.
She couldn't complain. Sometimes, being a woman to a successful man was quite hard. She gently helped Qin Tian straighten his clothes and said softly: "Come back soon."
Qin Tian felt warm in his heart, nodded, gently hugged his lovely wife's proud figure, turned around and left with Jia Xu.
