Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 124 Well, the battlefield is too dangerous!
On the city wall of Sanping Pass, Xiao Cheng stood leaning on his sword, looking straight ahead with a serious look on his face.

In the line of sight that only he could see, on the huge turntable, various lights flashed one by one.

After a while, the turntable stopped, and a blue light jumped out.

[Blue training card, General Nirvana.

Card effect: After use, you will have a courtier, Di Qing.

Card Description: Born Di Gong, Assistant Saint Tui Zhong.Love is righteous and fierce, ambition is jealous and stubborn.

Di Qing, a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty.He was born in a poor family and joined the army when he was young. Because of his tattooed face, he was good at riding and shooting. He was known as "General Nirvana".Later, he was suspected and died of depression.

Force 91, Literature 63, Wisdom 82, Morality 87, Age 29, Domination 95, Politics 58, Charm 89, Loyalty 100, Ambition 58]

After Xiao Cheng saw the contents of the card clearly, his eyes lit up.

Ah, it's Di Qing!
He was born in a cold family, and after many military exploits, he was promoted to a privy envoy.As a military general, it was still in the Northern Song Dynasty, a dynasty with insufficient martial arts virtues, which can be regarded as an existence that broke through the upper limit of the profession.

Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng suddenly turned his head, looked at Ju Meng who was accompanying him, and said:
"Is there any regulation in our court for tattooing prisoners' faces and serving them in the army?"

Ju Meng Wenyan, who was guarding with a sword, replied with some confusion:

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have never heard of this penalty. The soldiers of our dynasty are highly respected and have the opportunity to make contributions. There has never been a shortage of young and strong soldiers who have joined the army over the years. And most of the people who are assigned are sent to the barren southern border. land, so it will not be filled in the army."

Having said that, Ju Meng added:
"I only heard that there are rangers who get tattoos on their bodies either for the sake of prestige or to show their status."

Xiao Cheng nodded and said:

"That's all, just a casual question."

If there was such a penalty, Xiao Cheng would have made it abolished immediately.

If there are criminals among the army defending the country, how can the people have a good impression of them?It is also not conducive to the military system reform that Xiao Cheng is about to embark on.

At this time, a hurried sound of horseshoes sounded.A Yunguo cavalry galloped into Sanping Pass.

"What's going on?" Xiao Cheng asked with a frown.

Hearing Xiao Cheng's words, the general who was accompanying him immediately got up and went to inquire.

After a while, he went to the school and came back, cupped his hands to Xiao Cheng and said:
"Reporting to His Majesty, the report from the scouting horse. The last cavalry that supported His Majesty before was bitten by the army of Xia Guo at a distance of Sanping Pass, [-] miles to the east. The situation is critical, and we are here to ask for help."

Xiao Cheng laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said boldly:
"Since they are soldiers trapped in the enemy's country to meet me, how can I just sit idly by? Get your horses ready, I will go pick them up myself!"

In fact, for the frontier soldiers who had seen Xiao Cheng's supernatural power on the battlefield and was invincible, they would naturally not block Xiao Cheng's request to go to the battlefield.

Hearing what Xiao Cheng said, all the generals had hot eyes, their faces couldn't hide their excitement, and they shouted in unison:
"Willing to serve His Majesty!"

Following behind Xiao Cheng, looking down on the invincible on the battlefield, and breaking through the enemy's formation, for a group of soldiers, there is nothing that can make their blood boil more than this.

In the line of sight that no one else could see, several lines of small characters appeared on the golden finger panel.

【…

Wearing the Emperor Card: Overlord of Western Chu - Xiang Yu (remaining time of experience card: 2 hours and 37 minutes)
...]

I don't know if I can get the Tika of [Overlord of Western Chu] in this life with my own luck.Wouldn't it be a big loss if you don't use it more while the experience card is still valid?

And more than 40 miles to the east of the Sanping Pass, hundreds of cavalry from Yunguo were bitten by a Xia army cavalry.

In addition, there was a large group of cavalry from the Xia Kingdom in the distance. Under the command of the commander of the Xia Army, several teams were divided into outflanking from the two wings.

On the road ahead, there were Xia army infantry who came in advance, armed with iron shields and spears like a forest, blocking the front of the Yun army.After the army formation, there were more archers from the Xia army, bending their bows and setting arrows, aiming at the Yun army.

The Xia army's encirclement circle had already been formed, and only the sound of the long horn of "Woo~" was heard. The Xia Guo cavalry who had been biting the Yun army, suddenly slowed down their horses, and pulled away from the Yun army.

There was only a dull sound of "Zheng", Xia Jun's archers let go of the bowstring, and arrows rained down all over the sky.

Seeing this, the leading general of the Yun army couldn't help shouting sharply:

"Don't stop the horse, hurry up!"

The arrow rain was dense, and they were only wearing light armor. There was no other way but to rush out of the land covered by the arrow rain with the help of horses!
But even if the leading general responded properly, Xia Jun's arrows rained down one after another, extremely dense, and there were still many cavalrymen who were hit by arrows and rolled off their horses.

However, a round of volleys immediately lost dozens of cavalry.

General Yun's eyes were wide open, looking at the forest of spears waiting in front of him, but suddenly he let out a long shout, turned his horse's head, and charged towards the cavalry of Xia army who surrounded him on the left.

This general of the Yun army is also a veteran on the battlefield after all, knowing that with only a few hundred cavalry, if he rushes to the front line, it must be a dead end!
In such a situation, the only way to turn around and fight with Xia Guo cavalry on both sides can not only avoid frontal impact on the spear array, but also prevent the Xia army's archers from shooting wantonly.

Hundreds of cavalry, under the leadership of the leading general, charged suddenly and charged towards the Xia army on the left.

Xia Jun on the left was caught off guard and was approached by Yun Jun.

At this time, General Xia Jun frowned seeing Yun Jun like this, and then waved the flag.

Immediately, several groups of cavalry surrounded them all, encircling the Yun army, and it seemed that they were about to be destroyed.

"kill!"

At this moment, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly resounded all around.

In the distance, Xiao Cheng took the lead, his embroidered cloak fluttered with the wind, making a sound of hunting, and the golden lotus Zen staff in his hand was waving more and more familiarly, which was quite conspicuous from a distance.

Followed by thousands of high-morale, high-spirited cloud army elite cavalry, shouting to kill and charge.

The killing spirit, accompanied by the deafening shouts of killing, rushed towards Xia Jun like a tide.

Among the Xia army, many soldiers who fled from the Sanping Pass and were reorganized, looked at Xiao Cheng's figure and the conspicuous Zen stick in his hand, these soldiers trembled all over immediately, pointed at Xiao Cheng's figure, exclaimed:
"It's the ghost in the cloud army!"

"It's him, it's really him."

"Can't fight him, retreat quickly!"

Before the two armies came into contact, some soldiers in the Xia army couldn't contain the fear in their hearts, and wanted to retreat backwards.

With such a style, even Xia soldiers who had never seen Xiao Cheng's supernatural power could not help but be influenced by their companions, and their morale was weakened.Looking at Yun Jun's murderous aura around him, his heart trembled even more, and he subconsciously backed away.

Surrounded, General Yun, who was already waiting to die, looked at the reinforcements who came suddenly from a distance, his eyes burst into incomparable expressions, and he shouted loudly:

"Reinforcements are coming, we are saved! Follow me, kill!"

The morale of the hundreds of cloud troops was immediately boosted.Turning the horse's head around, he rushed towards the Xia army's formation that seemed to be collapsing in front of him.

General Xia Jun in the distance looked at Xiao Cheng's leading figure rushing towards him. The chilling aura surrounded his body, and the soaring aura continued to surge. The terrifying and invincible aura made him feel cold all over.

The description of Xiao Cheng from the colleagues who had escaped from Sanping Pass earlier came back to his mind.

Damn it, how could this battle be fought like this?

From top to bottom, this cloud army is full of evil energy!
The general weighed it over and over again, he really didn't want to pay too much for these hundreds of cavalry, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"Order the army to get out of the way and retreat slowly! Don't worry about those cloud troops."

As the command flag was waved, the cavalry unit reacted immediately and scattered far away.

As for the Xia army infantry who maintained the front line and faced Xiao Cheng's might, even under the urging of the general, it was difficult for them to maintain their formation.Get out of the way and avoid confrontation, which directly turned into a rout and fled in all directions.

Hundreds of Yunjun cavalry galloped fast and finally joined the reinforcements.As the leading general, seeing clearly the face of Xiao Cheng who was leading the charge, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red, and he said with gratitude:
"The last general is incompetent, and His Majesty has come to rescue him personally, and ten thousand deaths cannot atone for his sins!"

Xiao Chenglang laughed and said:
"Before, you went deep into the enemy's country to meet me. Today, when you are in danger, I will naturally come to pick you up. You are all good, and you have never lost face to our soldiers in Yunguo. After returning, I will reconsider Reward you!"

Even though the hundreds of cavalry who had withdrawn did not know Xiao Cheng, they immediately understood the title of the general, and their expressions were moved. Seeing Xiao Cheng's expression of reverence and excitement, they shouted in unison:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Cheng stood up on the horse, his eyes were sharp, looking at the chaos in the distance, the soldiers of the Xia Army who were cowering and afraid to go forward, had the intention of continuing to charge.

The thousands of Yunguo cavalry behind him also looked eager to try, waiting for Xiao Cheng's order, and immediately charged towards Xia Jun.

But at this moment, the majestic golden figure behind Xiao Cheng suddenly paused in the sight of others that could not be noticed, and then turned into a little bit of golden light and dissipated in the air.

Experience card, expired!
Feeling the rapidly dissipating power in his body, Xiao Cheng smacked his lips with some reluctance.

Without the emperor card of [Overlord of Western Chu], Xiao Cheng immediately reined in his horse and stopped advancing half a step. At the same time, he immediately changed into the emperor card of [Taizu of Dali] to ensure his own safety.

Well, on the battlefield, it is too dangerous!

It took Xiao Cheng a moment to adjust his mentality, then he straightened his body, stretched his finger to Xia Jun in front, and said proudly:

"Look, all the generals, Xia Jun is such a waste, yet he dares to invade our territory, he is really reckless! Sanping Pass is now in the hands of our army, and the southwestern regions of Xia Kingdom will still be galloped by our army! Return to the country today to rest. , After finishing repairs, come here again, and turn Xia Kingdom upside down, and pay for it with blood!"

While Xiao Cheng was speaking, he had already used his internal strength, and his voice clearly reached the ears of Yun Xia and the two armies.

All of a sudden, General Xia Jun, someone's face was livid and angry.Someone trembled all over, full of fear.

On the other hand, on the side of the Yun Army, the morale of the soldiers was even more high-spirited, and they shouted in unison:

"Follow His Majesty's order, and Xia Guo will pay for his blood!"

Xia Jun on the opposite side, listening to the sound of the mountain shouting from the opposite side, from the generals to the soldiers, all stood there in a daze, unable to react in a daze.

"That man, is the Emperor of Yun Kingdom?"

"Listen to this posture, it seems to be!"

"So, the emperor of Yun Kingdom has always been in our Xia Kingdom?

"No wonder the commander-in-chief ordered that the cloud army pretending to be our army must be blocked in the country. It turned out to be the reason..."

"Emperor Yun Kingdom! The achievement of capturing the king of the enemy country is right in front of us. Let's, don't we..."

"You want to kill yourself! I didn't hear the rumors in the army before. When the emperor of Yun Kingdom broke through Sanping Pass, he used brute force to smash open the city gate!"

"Hiss, really, is this still a human?"

Commander Xia, staring closely at Xiao Cheng's figure, couldn't help but grasp the sword at his waist, and couldn't help feeling a little moved in his heart.

If Xiao Cheng can be captured, it will be a great credit...

Commander Xia gritted his teeth, recalling the extremely terrifying aura he felt on Xiao Cheng just now, he didn't dare to order a move after all.

At this time, the general of the Xia army was afraid that he would not be able to explain later, so he naturally did not dare to lead the troops back.He could only just stand there blankly, watching Xiao Cheng lead the Yunguo army away slowly.

When Xiao Cheng led the army back to Sanping Pass, two figures ran down the city wall in a hurry.

"Come on, see Your Majesty!"

The old Taiwei Tao Ai led Zhendong General Shi An to greet him quickly.

After the salute, the two stood up.

Seeing Xiao Cheng wearing armor and surrounded by all the generals, the old Taiwei couldn't hold back after all, and said bluntly:
"Your Majesty's body is full of gold, and the danger on the battlefield is really impossible..."

Xiao Cheng got off his horse and interrupted quickly:

"What the old Taiwei said is very reasonable! Before, I had no choice but to go to the front line in person. But now, the frontier army is dead, and the old Taiwei is in charge. If I put myself in danger again, I will really ignore the people of the government and the public! So I have decided that tomorrow I will leave for Beijing and sit in the court hall."

The old Taiwei hadn't spoken half of his words, but was interrupted by Xiao Cheng, opened his mouth, swallowed back the words he had prepared, and looked at Xiao Cheng with some doubts, as if he was wondering why his majesty suddenly So cooperative.

Seeing this, Shi An, the general of Zhendong, quickly bowed and said with great joy:
"Your Majesty is able to put Yun Kingdom's government and the people as the most important thing. It is very good! Now that Sanping is in the hands of our army, the southwestern hinterland of Xia Kingdom can be harassed wantonly. Xia Kingdom's plot to swallow my territory has already come to nothing. Your Majesty can also return home with peace of mind." Chao, sit in Beijing!"

When Xiao Cheng led the army to go out, he, Shi An, was the one who was most worried about suffering.

After all, if something happened to Xiao Cheng, it would be a matter of great importance to the safety of the country of Yun!

It is necessary to deal with military affairs, guard against Xia Guo and Li Dynasty, and also bear fear for Xiao.

Such torment had already frightened him once, and his gray hairs became much more numerous.If he comes a few more times, his life expectancy will be greatly reduced.

Xiao Cheng frowned, raised his head and looked in the direction of Zhongqing City, showing a slight smile.

Back then when he regained his power, he didn't have enough power in his hands to completely control the court. That's why he had a lot of tolerance for officials and Buddhist sects.

But now, he has fully received the hearts of the frontier army, and returned to the court with a great victory, vowing to sweep away all the ghosts and snakes in the country, and take all the power in his hands!
　I'm working overtime, and let me take a day off.

　　Rest assured, there will be more updates this month!
