After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 473 The first battle is the decisive battle! One battle will decide the outcome!

"Sir, the Wei family is here."

While Jiang Che was deep in thought, Zhou Xuan walked into the hall to report.

Against the backdrop of the massive invasion by the Baiyue coalition, Jiang Che transferred most of his men to guard the border. In the entire Wuhou Mansion, besides him, only Qi Wanjun and his family members and Zhou Xuan were waiting for his orders.

Even Zhao Xianzhi has now gone to the border.

The reason why he didn't move was that he was waiting for the Wei family to arrive.

"Please come in, Patriarch Wei."

Jiang Che slowly raised his eyes, and the bloody letter in his hand instantly turned into ashes.

After a while.

Wei Changping, the head of the Wei family, dressed in a brocade robe, walked into the hall, accompanied by Wei Junjie, who had not been seen for a long time. Compared with before, Wei Junjie at this moment has become much calmer.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Envoy Jiang is even more charming than before!"

Wei Changping had a smile on his face and bowed to Jiang Che.

He still remembered that the last time Jiang Che saw him, he had just entered the realm of the gods. However, after not seeing him for a while, Jiang Che had already taken advantage of the situation and risen up, like a latent dragon emerging from the abyss. Now, he was dominating the southern region with great momentum.

Not only did he take the position of the Suzaku God's Envoy, he also destroyed the Tianlong Temple and the Xuehai Gate one after another, and even forced Li Chengguo to abandon his foundation and flee outside the Great Wall.

It can be said that Jiang Che is now able to intimidate the Linyuan Wei family with just his name.

Because compared to Tianlong Temple and Xuehaimen, Linyuan Wei family is the weakest among the seven major forces in Yuezhou. In the entire family, there are only three great masters of divine appearance.

And he is the only one who is the Venerable Yuanshen.

And he is just a mediocre master who is not even worthy of being on the list of the most famous people.

For this reason, after Jiang Che spoke completely, he hesitated for only a moment, and finally chose to bet on Jiang Che's side.

He did not think that the government would be able to defeat the Baiyue coalition and Li Chengguo this time, but he believed that Jiang Che had a bright future and would become a powerful martial saint in the future.

He's gambling.

Betting the entire Linyuan Wei family on Jiang Che’s future.

Of course, some of them were afraid of Jiang Che's revenge afterwards. After all, once the war started, the imperial court might be defeated, but it was highly unlikely that Jiang Che would die in the battle.

Therefore, he made up his mind that if the imperial court could not hold out, he would not fight to the death, but would just make his attitude clear.

Among them, there is even Wei Junjie's advice.

After being completely convinced by Jiang Che, Wei Junjie, for some unknown reason, developed a great confidence in Jiang Che and did not want the Linyuan Wei family to become an enemy of Jiang Che.

"With a powerful enemy at hand, I am very glad that the Master of the Wei family can come. Please..."

Jiang Che's attitude was also very friendly. He started chatting with Wei Changping. Both sides seemed to have intentionally avoided the implicit threats they had made before, and after some business flattery.

Wei Changping cleared his throat and continued:

“This time, Wei has come in person to help Envoy Jiang, and has brought with him the children of the Wei family, twelve Xuandan Grandmasters, and sixty-three Xiantian warriors, all of whom are the elite of our Linyuan Wei family.

I only hope that our Central Plains territory will not fall into the hands of barbarians."

Jiang Che nodded slightly:

"I understand what Patriarch Wei means, and I will not play it lightly. As long as we can win this battle, we will drive the barbarians out of the country, and I will take charge of Yuezhou in the future.

The Linyuan Wei family enjoys wealth and honor with this marquis."

"Okay, just for Envoy Jiang's visit, I will definitely go all out!"

Wei Changping said in a deep voice.

Wei Junjie looked at this scene, feeling complicated but also somewhat relieved. When Jiang Che was only slightly stronger than him, he still had the idea of ​​catching up with him, wanting to avenge his previous humiliation.

But now, the gap between Jiang Che and him has opened up a huge gap.

At this moment, there was only respect and admiration in his heart.

Zheng!
Zheng!
Zheng!
Suddenly, just as Jiang Che and Wei Changping were having a pleasant conversation, the sound of swords rang out in the void, as if it had instantly covered most of Yuezhou City.

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes, first glanced at Wei Changping, then took a step forward, instantly left the hall, and soared into the air, ready to see who dared to cause trouble here.

Do you really think he is made of clay?
As the sound of swords rang out, the soldiers and horses left behind in the entire Wuhou Mansion and even in Yuezhou City quickly began to gather. Zhou Xuan followed closely behind, looking at the scene in the void with a solemn expression.

At this moment, hundreds of figures in white were standing in the void, all riding swords, like sword immortals descending to the earth.

Jiange!

Jiang Che and Zhou Xuan's first reaction when they saw this scene was that these people came from Yuezhou's number one underworld force, Jiange.

Because only the disciples of Jian Ge would wear white robes and possess such great power.

In an instant, Jiang Che's heart sank.

If Jiange took action here today, his concealed strength would inevitably be exposed, and this was originally the surprise he left for Li Chengguo and the Baiyue coalition.

However, although he wanted to cover it up, he would not be so stubborn if the other party was looking for death.

"Why are you here?"

Zhou Xuan spoke first, with a serious look on his face.

Among the seven major forces in Yuezhou, Jiange ranks first.

Not only is there a Sword Saint in charge of the sect, but its strength and foundation far exceeds that of the average martial arts force. However, compared to other martial arts forces, Jiange has always been very low-key.

He rarely shows off his power in the Yuezhou underworld.

However, this does not mean that everyone will underestimate Jiange.

In fact, ever since Jiang Che learned about Jiange from Suzakusi's intelligence, he gave up the idea of ​​forcing Jiange. With the Sword Saint in charge of the force, he currently does not have the ability to subdue the other party.

Therefore, Jiang Che's threat was only directed at the Gao family of Tiannan, the Wei family of Linyuan, the Guo family of Yingchuan, etc.

Among the hundreds of sword-wielding figures, an old man with white hair and white clothes slowly stepped out of the void, looked at Zhou Xuan and Jiang Che with a solemn expression, and finally stopped at Jiang Che.

"Your Excellency is the Champion Marquis?"

"good."

"My name is Chen Sanchi, nice to meet Envoy Jiang."

The old man raised his hand in a salute.

Jiang Che's brows were frivolous.

Ranked twelfth on the Fengyun Martial List, Chen Sanchi, the master of Xuanfeng Sword.

He is definitely one of the well-known and powerful figures in the martial arts world. The sword light he created established his reputation as the Sword Master.

"What are you doing here?"

Although Chen Sanchi has a great reputation, Jiang Che does not show any fear and remains calm at this moment.

"I came here only to ask Divine Envoy Jiang a question."

"What?"

"When the Baiyue coalition invaded Yuezhou, why didn't Envoy Jiang send people to my Jiange to summon troops? Could it be that he thought that my Jiange was reclusive and unwilling to interfere in the secular world?" Chen Sanchi asked in a deep voice.

After these words were spoken, not only Jiang Che, but even Zhou Xuan was confused.

What do you mean?
Is Jiange here to lend a helping hand?

Without waiting for Jiang Che to answer, Chen Sanchi continued:
"My Sword Pavilion is a branch of the Tianjian Mountain Taoist sect. Since we established our sect, we have been ordered to guard the Yuezhou of the human race in order to prevent the invasion of the Baiyue barbarians. Before, when Nanyue mobilized troops, the Sword Pavilion did not move because we thought that Envoy Jiang could solve it on his own. But now, the Baiyue coalition has invaded on a large scale, and my Sword Pavilion must defend the border with swords. Today, Chen and his disciples, a total of 614 people, came to help and hoped that Envoy Jiang would agree."

Jiang Che's eyes swept over Chen Sanchi and the hundreds of sword-wielding figures behind him, and he suddenly felt a sigh in his heart.

Jiange was really beyond his expectations.

Not for the imperial court, but for the human race.

The pattern is not ordinary big.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Che bowed:
"Thank you all."

With the help of the three grand masters of Jian Ge, Jiang Che felt more confident. If he really counted, the number of grand masters of divine appearance on his side had reached more than ten.

The Red Blood Demon Lord, the three grand masters of the Beiling Qi family, the three grand masters of the Suzaku Division, plus the Tiannan Gao family, Wei Changping, Ao Kun, Zhao Xianzhi and others, if you really count them.

The number of Yuanshen masters on his side alone exceeds one palm.

Not to mention, there are hundreds of true disciples of the Sword Pavilion and all the elite troops of the Suzaku Division. Even though they are still at a disadvantage in terms of military forces, they are no longer as stretched as before.

Plus his terrifying strength.

There is even a good chance of winning this battle.

After Chen Sanchi's arrival, he did not chat too much with Jiang Che. Instead, after reaching an agreement, the few of them, together with the elite members of the Linyuan Wei family, quickly headed towards Yangping Pass.

The sword light was mighty and dark clouds covered the sky.

The crowd, without any concealment, walked in the void, with a dragon leading the way, with great momentum. At the same time, Chen Sanchi's speech in Yuezhou City quickly swept the Yuezhou world.

More and more people have realized that this war is an invasion by foreign races, not a fight among princes. As people from Yuezhou, how can they hold back the government at this critical moment?

Although some people still think this is a good opportunity, the commotion is getting bigger and bigger.

However, some martial artists still drew their swords and rushed towards Yangping Pass.
Compared with the heavy and majestic Tiannan Pass, Yangping Pass seemed a lot thinner, although Jiang Che had been ordering the construction of city wall formations for some time.

But because the time was too short, it was still too late.

For this reason, long before Jiang Che first learned of the invasion of the Baiyue coalition, he ordered the evacuation of all the people from the three important towns of Yangping Pass, Tiannan Pass, and Zhouping Pass.

Of course, the people belong to the people.

Despite the severe shortage of troops, Jiang Che still ordered the forced transfer of all the martial artists within the three passes to serve as soldiers, and even carried out a massacre for this purpose.

Righteousness does not support wealth, and kindness does not lead to military success.

Although Jiang Che has good intentions towards the common people, he has no regard for the martial artists in the martial arts world. All of them must be sent to the army, and anyone who dares to disobey will be killed regardless of their identity or background.

Because of this, Jiang Che expanded to more than 200,000 in less than a month.

Of course, Jiang Che would not blindly suppress it.

In fact, he took out a huge amount of cultivation resources as rewards.

Be it natural treasures or secret techniques.

Jiang Che will not hesitate to reward anyone who can make a contribution in this battle.

After successively wiping out the Blood Sea Gate of Tianlong Temple and clearing out the three border checkpoints, the resources in Jiang Che's hands have reached an astronomical figure. The Yuan Crystals alone amount to millions.

A large number of pills were released.

After being beaten with a stick and then given a sweet date, the resentment of the martial artists who were forcibly conscripted in the city quickly dissipated a lot, and some people even became grateful to Jiang Che.

After learning the main target of the Baiyue coalition, Jiang Che mobilized most of the troops from the other two passes and gathered them here.

It's not that he hadn't thought about the Baiyue coalition and Li Chengguo making a feint and entering Yuezhou from the other two passes. But the problem was that he had already forcibly relocated the people, so even if the other side could conquer it, the gains would be limited.

What's more, the real main force is on his side. Even if it is really captured, he can send troops to take it back. Therefore, Jiang Che thinks that if he is the leader of the Baiyue coalition forces.

The most important goal would definitely not be to capture cities, but to destroy all the main forces of the imperial court at the border.

As long as the outcome can be decided in one battle, the rest of Yuezhou will be almost smooth sailing.

When Jiang Che arrived at Yangping Pass with Jiange and Wei family disciples, the place had turned into a war fortress, with soldiers everywhere on the city walls and in the streets.

A solemn and murderous atmosphere lingered over the entire city.

Jiang Che's arrival was not concealed at all. As the dragon's body stopped in the air, all the warriors in Yangping Pass had already learned of Jiang Che's arrival.

Rays of light rose into the sky one after another to welcome Jiang Che.

Jiang Che didn't waste any words and just waved his hand:
"Call all the generals to discuss the matter!"

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, several days had passed. The Baiyue coalition forces finally arrived at the agreed location a hundred miles outside Yangping Pass, with their tents covering an area of ​​dozens of miles.

The flags are waving and the murderous aura is overwhelming.

Li Chengguo also led his Zhennan Army to camp outside the Baiyue coalition forces, while he himself arrived at the coalition tent with several of his adopted sons.

Since the envoy of the Witch God Temple was unwilling to show up, the people in charge were naturally the Min Yue ancestors and others.

After some greetings, Li Chengguo was invited to the left seat, where he looked at the powerful men in the tent with an expressionless face.

A smile appeared on the face of the Minyue ancestor:
"The Marquis of Zhennan really trusts people. Only now can I feel relieved."

"Yeah yeah"

People in the tent kept agreeing.

Li Chengguo looked solemn:
“The imperial court has been unjust to me, so you can’t blame me, Li Chengguo, for being disloyal. Since they want to kill me, Li Chengguo, I will divide Yuezhou with you.

In the future, we will work together to resist the imperial court."

"Hahaha, that's it, that's it"

All the great masters of Yuezhou, each with their own ulterior motives, were smiling happily, but in their hearts they despised Li Chengguo's behavior. When they occupied Yuezhou, the first thing they would do was to destroy Li Chengguo and the Zhennan Army.

Yuezhou originally belonged to the Yue people, how could they possibly share it equally with the people of the Central Plains?

What qualifications does Li Chengguo have?
But such words cannot be said out loud.

The Minyue Patriarch coughed twice, then continued:

"Zhennan Hou was born in the military, is proficient in military tactics, and is a famous general in the Central Plains. In your opinion, Brother Li, how should this battle be fought? Should we set some rules?"

"Brother Ming is right."

"Method?"

Li Chengguo waved his hand, looking fearless:
“This time, the Baiyue coalition forces number over 300,000, plus the 60,000 elite Zhennan troops led by me personally, as well as tens of thousands of elite troops waiting for an opportunity to move, totaling over 400,000 troops.

As for Jiang Che, he had few soldiers and generals, and at most he could mobilize more than 100,000 soldiers from the government, plus some martial artists from the Jianghu. At most, he could only mobilize 200,000 soldiers and horses.

Moreover, their combat effectiveness is low, far inferior to that of the elite.

200,000 versus 400,000, we have the advantage. With such an advantage, why would we need any strategy? We can just push forward and win easily."

As he spoke, Li Chengguo turned his gaze towards Yangping Pass, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said in a deep voice, word by word:
"In my opinion, this battle only needs ten words."

"Which ten words?"

Inside the big tent, someone looked suspicious.

Li Chengguo's eyes narrowed slightly:
"The first battle is the decisive battle, and the outcome will be decided in one battle!"
