Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1986: Seven Stars Return to the Capital, Hundreds of Families Gather

Compared with Han Xin, who was famous all over the world, Li Jing, who traveled thousands of miles to attack the Dongyi tribe, and Su Dingfang, who destroyed two dynasties in half a year, Meng Tian's performance was indeed mediocre before this.

The only outstanding thing about him was that he trained the Golden Fire Cavalry, an elite force.

However, after the Battle of Qingbei, who in the world dares to underestimate Meng Tian!
He had 110,000 soldiers and horses, including 20,000 of the Flying Feather Legion. In addition to these 110,000 soldiers and horses, there were also 5,000 Golden Fire Cavalry.

If the enemy retreats to Yannan and insists on fighting a defensive battle, even if they join forces with Jiang Shuihan with 250,000 troops, they will not be able to win in a short time.

Defensive warfare and offensive warfare are completely different concepts.

The biggest reason why Meng Tian was able to take over Qingbei so quickly was that Qingbei lacked stamina and could not fight a protracted war. It wanted to fight a decisive battle but was defeated in one wave.

If we choose to fight a defensive war with 80,000 troops, what will the situation in Qingbei be like at this time?
What's more terrifying is that once they set foot in Yannan, if their retreat to Tianhe is cut off by the enemy navy, then they will be completely doomed!
Although Dayan also has 30,000 naval forces, first of all, Dayan is Dayan, not their Zhennan Army.

Secondly, the 30,000 naval forces of Dayan are probably no match for the navy of Northern Han.

You know, the Northern Han Navy is not just Mo Peng's 30,000 troops, it also includes Gan Ning's 30,000 troops who are now in the waters of Hedong and Hebei. Once their Zhennan Army really enters southern Yan, these 30,000 troops will definitely go downstream and cut off their retreat.

"General, in my opinion, protecting Henan is the most important thing!"

"If Tianjing is lost, Guangyin's spirit will be lost, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight again!"

"Once we enter Henan, even if the two armies are in a standoff, Da Yan may be able to break the situation!" Ma Baili continued.

Tianjing is very critical. At this time, it has become a focus of attention for many forces, like a powder keg.

The reason why Bai Ze didn't want to enter Henan was that he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Tianjing.

However, for the Zhennan Army, Tianjing must be preserved. If Tianjing cannot be preserved, Da Cang will be in danger.

"Xuanyuan Huang is indeed a man of natural talent. It's a pity that such a talented person has to follow a thief!" Ma Qianli thought of Xuanyuan Huang mentioned in Ma Baili's words and couldn't help but sigh.

Many years ago, this man relied on the refugees of Tianshi Dao to stop his Zhennan Iron Army. It has always been a regret for Ma Baili that such a talented general was not used by the court.

Although Han Xin was famous throughout the world, Ma Qianli had never seen him after all. However, he had truly experienced how powerful Xuanyuan Huang was.

He didn't believe that Xuanyuan Huang had an absolute advantage. Even the only problem, the logistical trouble, was solved by Da Wu. He didn't believe that Xuanyuan Huang couldn't beat Han Xin with such a huge advantage.

Therefore, he believed in Xuanyuan Huang. Even though this person was not his friend but his enemy, he still believed in Xuanyuan Huang's ability.

Therefore, between the Guangyin and Henan roads, Ma Qianli finally decided to enter Henan.

After Bai Ze heard Ma Qianli's decision, he looked at Ma Baili and Ma Qianli deeply, but he could not change Ma Qianli's decision.

For Ma Qianli, after all, he was still his blood brother, and Ma Baili was more trustworthy. Therefore, between these two different paths, he had already made a choice from the beginning.

As for Ma Baili, his expression became more serious at this time. Once they entered Henan, the real bloody battle would begin. If it became a protracted war, they would be seriously injured.

Among the four towns, after that incident, their Zhennan became the one with the least financial resources.

However, as he said, he did regard Dayan as a breaking point!
Given the difference in strength between the two sides, Ma Baili really couldn't think of any reason for Xuanyuan Huang to lose.

However, he also regarded the Zhao Song side as a breaking point!

The Zhao Song Dynasty and the Cang family had an irreconcilable blood feud, but they also had an equally painful feud with the Wang family.

If Zhao Song could take over Xicang, and the Henan War had not yet ended at this time, then Zhao Song would definitely threaten Hedong and would not easily sit idly by and watch Northern Han take over Hedong.

However, if this is true, I am afraid it is not what his second brother wants.

Ma Baili also understood Ma Qianli's thoughts. He knew that Ma Qianli preferred the orthodoxy of Hexi.

It’s just that Ma Baili is a more realistic person compared to Ma Qianli. Xicang is far inferior to Zhongcang in all aspects, and there is really no possibility of restoring the Cang clan.

In this chaotic time, they certainly did not want to establish themselves as kings, but they still wanted to restore the Cang Dynasty. However, at least they had to be more practical.

...............

"The Zhao Song army has already moved. Send the order to have Xue Rengui's 100,000 troops enter Henan!"

The news of the movements of various forces came together, and the general trend of Da Cang had been completely opened. Now, no force in Da Cang could survive on its own, and was swept into the general trend, unable to withdraw.

At this time, all the ministers in the tent were secretly feeling lucky, especially after they received the news about the movements of the Zhennan Army.

Fortunately, they defeated the troops in Tongcheng in time, and did not really surround the city without attacking. If tens of thousands of troops from the west of Zhongcang came, they would still be able to deal with it, and they could achieve the purpose of surrounding the city and attacking the reinforcements.

But if the 150,000 Zhennan troops are added, it will not be a siege and attack on the reinforcements, but it will probably turn into an attack from the center.

"Your Majesty, if the 150,000 Zhennan troops arrive, the enemy in Henan will reach 300,000!"

"Even if General Xue arrives, our army will not be able to gain an advantage in terms of manpower! We have to take it slow!" Zhang Liang sighed softly.

He had been mentally prepared for the Zhennan Army's entry, but it was a little earlier than he had imagined.

"Tianjing at this moment is a place of turmoil!"

"Another Zhennan Army has arrived, that's not bad!" In comparison, Zhang Bin and Chen Pingping were much more open-minded.

They were even thinking about how to drag the Zhennan Army into the quagmire in Tianjing.

"Don't force the matter of Tianjing, or you may get into trouble!" Wang Yu couldn't help but remind the two who were becoming more and more interested.

Things in Tianjing are too troublesome. Once they are dragged over to their side, it will be a thankless task.

………………

Tianjing! As the capital of Da Cang, it is still extremely prosperous!

However, with the end of the Tongcheng battle, while the place is prosperous, there is also a hint of solemnity.

After the city was opened, there were still many big cities.

However, everyone knows that although there is a city, there are no soldiers.

Therefore, it was impossible to stop the Northern Han army for long. After the Battle of Tongcheng, the outcome was that the Northern Han army would march straight in.

Zhongcang has troops, definitely more than the hundreds of thousands in Tongcheng!

However, although Henan had strategic advantages on all four sides, it lost the north and west one after another, leaving the north and west without any strategic advantages to defend.

The problem could be solved by 20,000 or 30,000 troops, but at least 100,000 troops were stationed here.

Therefore, although there were soldiers, the result was an internal emptiness.

The capital city of Da Cang, which had been stable for hundreds of years, has also suffered many disasters in recent years.

A few years ago, they had just experienced the Battle of Tianjing, and now they were about to face war again before they had been at peace for a few years. Therefore, most of the people were also in a panic.

In the last battle of Tianjing, the people suffered an unexpected disaster.

After all, after the city was broken, all kinds of chaos could be imagined. In addition, the battle at that time was a gathering of many forces, mixed together, and it was also the best opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

In recent days, with tens of thousands of people from the underworld entering the city, the city has become even more chaotic.

To put it bluntly, the vast majority of the tens of thousands of people in the martial arts world are from the Demonic Sect gathered by Huang Ying.

There may be hypocrites in the righteous path, but there will definitely be no shortage of demons in the evil path.

With so many people from the Demonic Sect pouring in all of a sudden, one can imagine the security situation in the city during this period of time.

It happens from time to time that people in the underworld oppress the common people.

Zhongcang is now in imminent danger and has to rely on these people from the Demon Sect. Therefore, Huangfu Guyuan can only let go of these chaos temporarily unless the other party goes too far. If he can get through this level, he will naturally have the opportunity to rectify these chaos.

Moreover, with the large number of troops transferred to Tongcheng, there are only about 10,000 troops left in Tianjing now. The remaining 40,000 are stationed at the two major gates of the south and east. Therefore, once there is a disturbance, it is easy for others to take advantage of it.

After all, these senior officials all knew that in this huge city of Tianjing, these people from the Demonic Sect were just small characters.

Misfortunes sent by Heaven can still be survived, but misfortunes brought upon oneself cannot be survived. These disciples of the Demon Sect were used to being arrogant, and eventually they made some people unhappy. For a time, many disciples of the Demon Sect died suddenly in various ways.

It’s just that the top leaders of Zhongcang won’t care about these things, and the top leaders of the Demon Sect won’t care either.

After entering Tianjing, it was only the low-level characters of the Demon Sect who could not control their temper and oppressed the people. Any demon with a certain status would not do such a thing to lower his status.

If those evil guys really want to do something on their own, it won't be such a small-scale fight that can't be shown on the stage.

And those big demons would not care about the lives of a few low-level disciples.

After all, they knew exactly what was going on. Those people, not to mention that they were not to be trifled with, there was really no need to provoke them for a few minor characters. They would not persist in pestering him if they could symbolically find a place to fight with him.

With the return of 100,000 troops led by Nangong Qixing from the western front to Tianjing City, the public security in the entire Tianjing City improved significantly.

With more than 100,000 soldiers and horses at their side, no matter how arrogant the people from the Demon Sect were, they would not dare to act arrogantly in front of an army of more than 100,000. An army of more than 100,000, let alone the ordinary disciples of the Demon Sect, even the masters at the top level would be enough to wipe them out several times.

However, the strong city of Tianjing and more than a hundred thousand soldiers obviously did not bring much sense of security to Huangfu Guyuan.

There is no unbreakable city in the world, not to mention that the city of Tianjing was just broken once a few years ago.

Moreover, Huangfu Guyuan, who inherited the legacy of Huangfu Mingzhao's court, must also face the hidden dangers. The first point is that many people in the court do not agree with him at all.

And it was precisely because of this that Huangfu Guyuan never trusted these people. In this crisis, he was even more suspicious. Especially after the eight generals of the imperial guards betrayed him, he could no longer trust those old officials of the court.

Even these days, an official was thrown into jail because of a trivial matter.

This incident also made many court officials sigh and feel sad. Many old officials in the court did not agree with Huangfu Guyuan, especially when the young prince re-established the orthodoxy of the court in Hexi Road, their approval of Huangfu Guyuan was even lower.

However, one thing that cannot be doubted is that these old officials have Da Cang in their hearts. Otherwise, they would not have obeyed Huangfu Mingzhao's will.

However, Huangfu Guyuan seemed to be completely unable to see this and actually thought that they might collude with the Northern Han. In other words, the other party could see this, but his suspicious character ignored it.

In a side hall of the Da Cang Palace, more than a dozen people entered the hall one after another.

Among these people, there are no old ministers of the imperial court. They are all early confidants like Nangong Qixing, or a few high-ranking members of the Demon Sect.

With the return of Nangong Qixing and the 100,000-strong army, Huangfu Guyuan now had some confidence about some of the situations in the city, and he was able to eliminate some of the hidden dangers in his eyes in advance.

"Shangyin Academy, Zhengqian Academy, Legalists, Military Strategists, Daqian Kong Family, Zhang Family, Dawei..." Huangfu Guyuan listed more than 30 forces in a row with a gloomy look.

Each of these more than 30 forces has been passed down for hundreds of years. They are either from the Hundred Schools of Thought, and ranked at the top among them, or they are the top clans in the major dynasties. Basically, they all come from the five major dynasties of Cang, Xia, Wu, Wei, and Qian, and there are even people from Beidi.

It's not that Da Chu and Da Wu in the south don't want to send people, but they are too far away from Da Cang. If they want to come here, they have to take at least a year. At this time, their people may have just set off.

However, at this time, Da Wu could no longer care about these things. Now Da Wu was already on the verge of collapse, and it was uncertain whether it could last another half a year or a year.

The reason why these people gathered in Tianjing was naturally nothing else but the remnants of the demonic disasters that appeared twice in Da Cang. Some of these people arrived more than half a year ago, while others just arrived.

But no matter what, at this time, they all focused their targets on Tianjing.

Firstly, among the remnants of the demonic disaster, the Huangfu family is the biggest suspect.

Secondly, not long ago, the remnants of the demonic disaster revealed their traces for the third time, and this time, they were right within the city of Tianjing.
