Chapter 1049 Quhuai Feijiao
"My Lord, give the order! I am willing to lead my troops to set off immediately and bring back the heads of those damned southern barbarians for you!"

Yu Juluo drew his sword suddenly, and the sound of the nine rings colliding startled the guards outside the tent so much that they all held down the hilt of the sword.

"Wait a minute, General Yu."

"My Lord, why do you think Xuanyuan Po would take such a risky move? He has always been cautious in deploying troops, so why would he..."

He Ruobi raised his hand to stop him, then turned to look at Yang Jian, trying to steady himself.

"What are you waiting for, Duke? This is a dangerous situation!"

Yu Juro was so anxious that he stamped his feet. The painting of "Mountains, Rivers and States" behind him was shaken and revealed the black iron tiger talisman hidden in the secret compartment behind the painting.

The old general's sword, "Yonglie", was already three inches out of its sheath, and its cold light made the candlelight in the room lose its color.

"Duke, I am willing to lead a cavalry to pursue the Xuanyuan bandit leader!"

Below, Jiang Chen, who was at the front of all the Gangqi generals, strode out, and his heavy black iron armor made the golden nanmu screen buzz as it hit the golden nanmu screen.

"Duke, I will go with you!"

Behind Jiang Chen, Yun Renzhi, who had taken over the title of "Tianxiao" from his father, took a half step forward. The scarlet cloak behind him was embroidered with a golden Pixiu, which shimmered in the morning light as he moved.

This general had a handsome face but sharp eyes and brows, which was similar to Mo Ranchen's title of "Jade-faced Military God".

"Duke, I am willing to lead a team of elite troops with the two generals to cut off the rebels' food supply!"

Yu Juluo also instantly picked up the "Yonglie" knife in his hand and slammed it heavily on the ground, and the blue brick cracked into spider web patterns.

"Intercept the food route?"

"Xuanyuan Po dared to advance alone, he must have calculated that we would split up our forces! Just wait and see--"

Yang Jian suddenly turned around, and his black cloak created a strong wind, sweeping away all the secret reports on the table.

He grabbed the cinnabar pen and drew three red lines on the sand table. As the pen passed, the red flag representing the anti-king coalition forces instantly poked three holes in the thirteen defense lines of the Great Xuan Dynasty behind Qujiang.

"He is waiting for the barbarian soldiers from the south to seize Qujiang, and for us to transfer our elite troops to the north and south fronts, and then..."

"Go straight to Shenjing!"

The cinnabar pen suddenly poked at the imperial capital, with such force that it caused fine cracks on the jade carving.

You could hear a pin drop in the conference room, with only the crackling of candlelight. Yang Jian took a deep breath, and every word he said was chilling.

"Now we are like turtles trapped in an iron barrel, with Xuanyuan Po in the north and the Nanman barbarian soldiers in the south, not to mention the elusive Mo Ranchen among the thirty-six anti-king coalition forces."

He suddenly stopped talking, and gently pushed the sand table with his fingertips, and the jade sculpture representing the Great Xuanhuang Capital rolled to the back of the Qujiang defense line.

"But I will let them enter Xuanzhou behind the Qujiang defense line!"

Yang Jian looked at the generals lined up in the hall and suddenly chuckled.

"Duke!"

They have always been on the defensive when facing the 36 rebel kings led by Xuanyuan Po in the south. If they were to let them in and encounter the main force of the rebels in the wild, I'm afraid...

"Don't worry, I'm here to prepare a great gift for Xuanyuan Po!"

Yang Jian suddenly turned around and pointed his finger at the three words "Junya Pass" on the sand table, one of the six dangerous passes outside the Great Xuan Dynasty.

As he was speaking, there was a sudden loud thunder outside the window, and everyone was startled to realize that the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, which pressed down on the city walls, as if they were going to crush this century-old city.

"Report——"

When the third urgent report came, Yang Jian didn't even raise his head, but threw the cinnabar pen on the table. The scarlet ink spread on the rice paper, just like a blooming Lycoris radiata.

"Qujiang City was broken?"

"Yes!"

"General Yang Lin... General Yang Lin..."

The "inner and outer officials" kowtowed heavily. "Speak!"

Yang Jian suddenly shouted so loudly that the paperweight on the table jumped up.

The secret report in front of him read, "Yang Lin led 800 soldiers to defend the Water Gate, but was beheaded by a southern barbarian with a hideous face." At this moment, Yang Jian's fingertips dug deeply into the rosewood grain, and he actually dug out five blood crescents on the table.

"General Yang...died in battle after exhaustion, his body...his body was hung on the city wall by the southern barbarian rebels..."

"Snapped!"

The cinnabar brush broke in the middle, and the scarlet ink splashed onto Yang Jian's black official robe, looking like blood plum blossoms.

He suddenly remembered that three days ago, several Taoist priests in the army had seen an evil star next to the Purple Star Emperor Star. At that time, they thought it was Xuanyuan Po who was causing trouble. Now, thinking about it...

"Duke, General Sang is here."

The voice of the guard outside interrupted his thoughts. When Yang Jian looked up, he saw a white-haired old general striding towards him.

The old general had a kind face, but the "Canglang" spear in his hand shone with a cold light, and the tassel of the spear was still stained with the undried dew from southern Xinjiang.

"General Sang!"

Yang Jian suddenly stood up, and his black cloak rolled up a gust of wind, blowing the battle reports on the table all over the room. He personally helped the old general up, and his fingertips touched the Canglang pattern on the other's armor.

This old general named Sang Qingyu was one of the great generals who guarded the south of the Great Xuan Dynasty. He was known as the "Qu Huai Fei Jiao" and was the pillar of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Previously, when Wu Tiansheng, a god-general with a basic martial arts level of 110, was showing his might, he was also assisted by top war gods such as the ancestor witch Xuanming and the great demon Huangmei.

If Yang Jian only has two top war gods, Jiang Chen and Yun Renzhi, under his command, he will certainly not be able to stop the anti-king war god lineup headed by Wu Tiansheng.

Therefore, it was this veteran who was particularly good at water battles who came to help. Relying on the advantage of the many water systems in the south of Daxuan, and the fact that Wu Tiansheng was not good at water battles, he and Jiang Chen joined forces to barely hold on under Wu Tiansheng.

"Duke, Qujiang..."

Sang Qingyu bowed slightly to Yang Jian who was sitting at the top of the table, and spoke hesitantly.

"General Sang, Qujiang cannot be lost. Please lead a navy south along Qujiang River to support Qujiang City!"

"There is no need to fight with the rebels. All you need to do is lay down a chain of iron chains at Yanziji."

Yang Jian suddenly interrupted his conversation and drew a winding waterway on the sand table with his fingertips.

"When those southern barbarians cross the river in large numbers, blow up the Canglang River embankments beside Qujiang River for me!"

As he spoke, he suddenly put his fingers together to form a knife and cut a straight line on the sand table.

"Please think twice, Duke!"

"Once the Canglang River bursts, thousands of acres of fertile land on both sides will become a swamp. This... this will probably provoke a civil uprising!"

Han Qinhu, who was standing by, was suddenly horrified and fell to his knees with his gray beard stained with tea stains.

"Civil uprising?"

Yang Jian suddenly laughed out loud, and as his wide sleeves fluttered, the "Map of Mountains, Rivers and States" on the desk unfolded by itself, revealing a bronze tiger talisman placed in a secret compartment behind the map.

"Once the Qujiang defense line is breached, the Xuanyuan bandit leader will lead a hundred thousand elite troops to march straight into the Great Xuan Capital. Even the entire Great Xuan Dynasty will be in danger of being overthrown. Are you still afraid of a mere civil uprising?"

As he spoke, lightning suddenly split the dark clouds outside the window, illuminating the candlelight in the room.

Sang Qingyu looked at the determination in the eyes of the Duke of Sui sitting above him and closed his eyes in pain.

"Duke, I obey your orders!"

The old general kowtowed heavily, and his Canglang spear dragged long sparks on the ground.

When he stood up, thunder exploded outside the window on the top of Lintong City, as if to see off the old general.

Between the entire Daxuan Dynasty and Qujiang, where he had guarded for decades, the veteran finally chose the Daxuan Dynasty!
