At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 80: A Battle of Northern Wei, Shocking the World
"That woman Xuanji even tricked me before she left."

Xiao Han was unhappy: "I'm afraid that the Northern Wei will really take big action against Xiliang."

"That's why we have to go back early to stabilize the morale of the troops."

Ruoyan: "As long as you are in charge of Xiliang, the Xiliang cavalry will have nothing to fear, and the land of Xiliang will be as solid as a rock."

When leaving Ganzhou, we encountered two groups of questioning.

However, after Ruoyan showed the Yuwen family's token and stuffed some silver into her pocket, she passed safely.

Half a month later.

The convoy successfully left the Northern Wei territory and rushed to Qimen Pass.

Gao Li, who had received the news early, led thousands of cavalry out of the city to welcome them.

"I greet the general."

"I've met the general."

Those Xiliang soldiers all looked excited.

News of Xiao Han's battle in front of the Northern Wei imperial city had been reported back to Xiliang.

In one battle, he killed more than ten masters of the Northern Wei Dynasty and massacred three thousand imperial guards.

This kind of record can be described as fierce.

Xiao Han came out of the carriage, having already taken off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his original appearance.

Ruoyan was not in the carriage and left halfway.

Her existence was a secret even in the general's mansion.

Not suitable for exposure.

He stretched himself, breathed in the moist air of Xiliang, and said with a smile, "Everyone get up."

"promise."

He mounted his horse and entered Qimen Pass under the escort of thousands of cavalry.

After resting for two days, they continued their journey towards Xiliang City.

A few days later.

Pingxi General's Mansion.

inside the room.

The six sword slaves all knelt on one knee, a look of shame on their faces.

"I and my subordinates failed to do our job well and put our master in danger. Please punish us."

Zhen just opened his mouth.

"It is punishable."

Xueying's injuries had almost recovered. He leaned against the door with the ancient sword in his arms and snorted, "You six are really useless."

"you."

The chaotic god glared at the blood shadow.

“Master, we didn’t know that the woman named Xuanji was so fierce.”

Zhen Gang smiled bitterly: "I originally thought she was pretty, so I wanted to capture her and make her my master's slave."

Xiao Han was frowning. Was his image so bad in the eyes of his subordinates?

"Have you done anything wrong? What crime have you committed?"

He shook his head: "No need to punish him, just be more careful in the future and don't pick on such fierce people again."

"I will keep this in mind."

The six sword slaves answered in unison.

"Well, go down and rest."

He said, "Heal your wounds well. This general is still waiting for you to serve me."

"Thank you, Master."

The six sword slaves retreated.

"You go down too."

Xiao Han looked at the blood shadow and said, "Now you know how big the gap is between you and the top masters in the world."

"understood."

Xueying frowned, "This Xuanji is too ferocious, just like a monster. I can't even last ten moves against her."

"It's good to know."

He nodded slightly: "Practice hard."

"promise."

Blood Shadow also retreated.

This incident can be regarded as a warning to the Six Sword Slaves and Blood Shadow.

Let them know that there are always people better than you.

Whether it is Blood Shadow or the Six Sword Slaves, they will all be his followers and confidants in the future, and they will never betray him.

If the strength is too weak, it will not be convenient to use.

"Young Master, drink some ginseng soup first to replenish your body."

Miaoyu came in and put down the soup bowl.

Da Yue'er and Xiao Yue'er followed behind, and even Murong Yi, who never left the front door, came to the courtyard. Several flowers competed with each other in beauty, chirping and asking questions non-stop.

"Has there been any recent changes in Xiliang?"

He looked at Miaoyu.

"No."

Miaoyu said, "The 10,000 infantrymen have almost finished their training and are waiting for you to come back so that they can be assigned to different places."

“How are the new officials?”

he continued to ask.

"It's all good."

Miaoyu said: "They are indeed talented people, especially Gu Yun, Xiahou Qing and Luo Wentong, who have performed the most outstandingly and can be of great use."

"Let's investigate further."

Xiao Han nodded slightly.

He and Miaoyu were intimate until late at night, and she changed into all kinds of embarrassing clothes.

At last, I have been able to satisfy my own young master.

The night is dark.

The evening breeze echoes.

Candlelight flickers.

Miaoyu leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Sir, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to."

"Say it."

"Now the news that the young master captured a Northern Wei martial arts master to practice martial arts has been leaked, and coupled with the killing of the Northern Wei empress's personal eunuch and three thousand imperial guards, it has severely slapped the Northern Wei court in the face."

"I'm afraid they won't give up."

"I've thought of that."

Xiao Han said softly: "When the enemy comes, the general will stop him. When the water comes, the earth will cover it. Xiliang and Beiwei will go to war sooner or later. It's just a matter of time."

"Right now, Luanshi City and Luanshi Fortress have been built. With Zhao Mule and 7,000 soldiers stationed there, there is no need to worry about the western front. As long as we guard Qimen Pass, even if the Northern Wei sends out 100,000 cavalry, they will not be able to set foot in Xiliang."

"Who knows, the Northern Wei empress will vent her anger on Xie Xuanli and Jizhou."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Miaoyu said: "During these days, the Secret Service will send more people to the Northern Wei territory to closely monitor the movements of the Northern Wei court and the Northern Wei martial arts world."

"Yu'er is worthy of being my master's military advisor. She is very thoughtful."

He praised.

"I'm not a dog-headed military advisor."

Miaoyu pursed her lips and smiled: "How can you praise others like that?"

"Sir, you should avoid taking such risky actions in the future."

She curled up and said softly, "You may look majestic, but you are actually surrounded by danger. The safety of the entire Xiliang depends on you. Anyone can take the risk, but you cannot."

Noon on the second day.

The drums were beaten at the Pingxi General’s Mansion to gather the generals.

After all his generals were present, Xiao Han walked in slowly with his hands behind his back.

"General."

All the generals bowed and saluted.

"Get up."

He waved.

"The general is mighty."

Lu Ju was beaming with joy: "Outside the Northern Wei imperial city, one man and one sword killed three thousand imperial guards, and also killed the chief steward of the Northern Wei internal affairs department, and then left."

"Under all the heavens, only a great general would dare to do this."

"Stop kissing up to me."

Xiao Han laughed and scolded: "Bei Wei has suffered such a big loss, it will definitely try every means to regain its face."

"We still have to prepare in advance."

"We'll kill as many as come."

Liao Huan grinned and said, "How many Northern Wei barbarians have died in our hands?"

"Don't underestimate the enemy."

Xiao Han glared at him and said, "When we were at war with the Northern Wei, we had the Jiyou land and the Marquis of Zhenbei behind us. We had the people and soldiers, so we just had to fight."

"We are now the masters of our own house. We only have this little wealth, and we have nowhere to get it back."

"General, it is better to focus on defense."

Han Qinghu said: "As long as we guard Qimen Pass well, no matter how many people come from the Northern Wei, it will be useless."

"The other thing is to prevent them from taking a detour through the grassland and coming from the Shule River."

"Apart from these two routes, if the Northern Wei wanted to enter Xiliang, it would have to either conquer Jiyou or cross the Qilian Mountains."

"so."

Xiao Han paused and said, "I decided to add 5,000 heavy-armored infantrymen to Qimen Pass. Together with Gao Li's 5,000 elite cavalry, there will be 10,000 people, which can stop the 100,000-strong Northern Wei army."
