Chapter 210: Riding on the rivers and lakes!

The fact that Li Guanyi was listed on the list of divine generals did not cause any particularly great waves in the world. The list of divine generals was only based on battle records. In order to squeeze in, one had to have a foundation of at least the fifth or sixth level. Li Guanyi was the youngest and also the weakest one.

However, the more than eighty famous generals are ultimately [generals], not [commanders].

It was just a solitary army that rushed into the mountains and forests and disappeared without a trace. Zhenbei City later sent out a part of the scouts, who found that this wave of Qilin Army disappeared in the extremely long mountains on the border between the two countries and their whereabouts were unknown.

Uncle Shen Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This mountain range is vast, stretching for thousands of miles, directly running through the north and south, dividing the east and west, like a dragon's spine. There are many vicious people in it, more than a thousand people, rushing in, it's like a piece of meat falling into a wolf's den."

"I'm sure he won't survive. I can rest a little easier now."

So he reported it loudly, saying that they had won a great victory.

The Qilin Army was forced into Zhenbei City and fled into the mountains and forests, and their whereabouts were unknown.

And Li Guanyi's army had been silent for more than ten days, as if the waves in the world had gradually calmed down. In addition, when the seven Turkic kings arrived in Ying State, the emperor of Ying State personally welcomed them and gave them enough face.

The lame old wolf king, the regent of the Western Regions, almost bit the newly-founded Tanguts to death with one bite. In the strong wind of the desert, he led the army that had left the State of Chen with him and went straight into the Tanguts' country, showing unparalleled bravery.

Those soldiers who seemed cowardly under Chen Dingye's command suddenly burst out with terrifying killing power. The Southern Dynasty's expertise in formation tactics, crossbow shooting tactics, and extremely sophisticated armor were fully demonstrated under the command of such a brave king.

The regent was as fierce as a tiger. The old wolf king had mastered his martial arts bit by bit over the past decade. He held a double-edged spear in his left hand and a sickle halberd in his right hand. He rushed to the front and killed more than 300 heavily armored soldiers with his own hands.

Then they ran back and forth on the battlefield, stabbing the corpses of the Dangxiang nobles with their spears.

The regent won a great victory and then liberated many people from the Central Plains who were oppressed by the Tangut Kingdom in the Western Regions.

The order to kill the Hu people was issued, mainly targeting the Dangxiang people, and other Hu people were not included.

Anyone, even the Tiele people or the Tuyuhun people, could come forward with the head of the Dangxiang people to claim the reward. Therefore, the Dangxiang Kingdom found that everyone around them seemed to have turned into soldiers of this old and ferocious wolf king.

Completely intensified border conflicts.

The Dangxiang State retreated repeatedly.

Compared with such a major change at the strategic level, the local battle that took place in Zhenbei City of Chen State, with a total scale of no more than 10,000 people, had no achievements in conquering cities and had not caused a huge splash. If it were not for the fact that the record of "total annihilation" was too eye-catching, others would have ignored it.

Only the Regent, after washing the sticky blood off his body three times, looked at the battle report.

He said to his son, "Remember this man."

The wolf king tapped the table with his fingers and said, "He will become an enemy of you and me."

Chen Wenmian watched Li Guanyi's battle record with a hint of fire in his eyes. This time, the former crown prince also followed Xiao Wuliang into the battle formation and was able to lead 300 cavalrymen to complete the tactics of penetration and cutting, but his battle record could definitely not be compared with Li Guanyi's.

The regent whispered: "Li Wanli's son..."

He sighed.

In the eyes of their generation, Li Guanyi did not disgrace the name of Li Wanli, but in the eyes of Chen Wenmian, he was just Li Guanyi.

The Wolf King pressed his claws, the seven kings responded, Yue Pengwu went north, and Chen Dingye retreated.

The heroes of various countries in the world have their own changes.

The great wishes and ambitions of the heroes collided with each other like swords, making a crisp whistling sound that never stopped for a moment. And in a place that everyone's attention had gradually ignored, in the mountains.

Snapped!
Li Guanyi slapped a mosquito to death.

The people under his command have been marching for another ten days. Due to the different qualities of the individual soldiers, their speed is not fast, but fortunately no one attacks them. Old Pang has left the team for a short time. The old man finally sighed and confirmed the difference of the young master. He chose to take Li Guanyi's seal with him when he went out.

He began to prepare for lobbying among the various nations to revive Li Guanyi's reputation, mainly to solidify his title as "Qinwu County Man" in order to prevent the two countries' troops from coming to kill him. As for Ling Pingyang, the strongest cavalry general of the younger generation, he stayed behind.

He dismounted along with five hundred heavy cavalrymen and marched on foot with the new recruits.

The marching speed was not fast, and although it was difficult, there would be no casualties due to the enemy's encirclement and the terrain. However, even so, unparalleled willpower was required along the way.

Li Guanyi threw the mosquito away and continued writing.

"Shuang Tao, everything is fine for us now. Although the food has a strong smell, Lei Laomeng's cooking skills are slowly getting better. He is a talented person. The food passed down by the ancestors of Shenshou Villa has changed in his hands."

"This guy not only caught wild animals like bears and carried a crossbow on his back, but he also climbed cliffs to catch birds."

"Nangong Wumeng's body movements are very good. She caught several flying eagles."

"Now Lei Laomeng is just staring at the old Eagle with wide eyes. He hasn't closed his eyes for eight days. It seems that it's because he has more than a hundred people under his command who are holding him up, so he must outlast this old Eagle."

"I asked him for an eagle feather and put it in the letter."

"It's an old mountain eagle with hard and straight feathers. You can give it to Changqing and tell him it's a gift from me. I hope he likes it."

"Also, I drew a picture for you. It's probably a waterfall we saw before. The scenery is beautiful. Also, the fish here don't seem to know how to avoid people. Everyone has been eating fish for several days, and even the bears are about to vomit."

“Nevertheless, the scenery is especially nice.”

"Also, please say hello to Mr. Xue and tell him that I am safe."

Li Guanyi wrote a letter to the eldest lady, describing the current situation in the letter and telling her not to worry about him and to report that he was safe. He lightly glanced over the previous dangers and difficulties. After thinking for a while, Li Guanyi put a picture he had drawn in the letter.

Fold it and put it aside.

Pick up the pen and write a letter to Li Zhaowen.

This time it was very serious.

"Erlang, I am well, I am fine, and so is Changsun. We were lucky and won the battle. Your thirty riders are very useful, but unfortunately we cannot return them to you at present. Along with the letter is a captured short sword with a gem on the hilt and a rhinoceros hide scabbard."

"Take it with the letter, and I'll give you a glass of wine from afar."

"When we meet again, I won't leave until I'm drunk."

After folding it, he put the dagger he had taken from Yuwen Tianxian aside.

I wrote another letter and felt much more relaxed when I picked up the pen.

"Mr. Pojun, I am glad to receive your letter."

"I have been through many ups and downs in this troubled time. Fortunately, I have gained something. However, in the midst of difficulties, I always think of you. If you were by my side, then all the difficulties would be solved. I can only sigh with regret."

"May you be well, sir. I am sending you some nuts that we picked and dried along with this letter. These were roasted by Guan Yi himself. I hope you will not dislike them."

Fill a bag full of pine nuts.

After thinking about it, Li Guanyi wrote a more formal letter to Mr. Xue.

Of course, I only report good news and not bad news, mainly to let these people know that he is fine.

The letter and package to Pojun, and the letter and dagger to Li Zhaowen, were all handed over to Changsun Wuchou. Changsun Wuchou was carrying Li Zhaowen's golden-winged Roc, which could transmit messages very quickly and could carry a lot of weight.

As for the ones for the eldest lady and Mr. Xue, the young man looked to the side silently.

Nangong Wumeng, who was wearing light armor, looked at Li Guanyi and asked warily, "What?"

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "Thank you for jumping out and sending it to the Xue family or Changfeng Tower in the nearby city."

Nangong Wumeng couldn't catch her breath, and her beautiful eyes widened:

"You! It's hundreds of miles to get to the nearest town, over mountains and across ridges, you idiot!"

She didn't mean walking normally, but crossing mountains one after another and running straight towards the town. She gritted her teeth and said:
"What do you take me for!?"

Li Guanyi's face was full of sincerity, and he praised her with great familiarity: "After all, there is only Miss Nangong, who is extremely beautiful and has peerless martial arts skills. A mere hundred miles of mountain road should be easy for the extremely beautiful Miss Nangong Wumeng. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"You have reached the peak of the third level at the age of eighteen, are the Saintess of a great sect, and have unparalleled lightness skills."

Nangong Wumeng said: "You, this, this..."

"The Saint of the Great Sect, a Genius Girl!"

"me……"

"She is the most beautiful woman in the world and also a genius in Qinggong, who is unrivaled in the world!"

Nangong Wumeng raised his chin slightly and replied: "Of course!"

As soon as I said this, I felt annoyed.

Li Guan stuffed the food into her hands and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss Wumeng. I'll have something delicious for you when I come back." Nangong Wumeng glared at him with her beautiful eyes. She was easily controlled by this young general.

The boy patted her shoulder, no longer as formal as before, just like a friend, and said, "Okay, go ahead."

The young general had a bright smile on his heroic face.

“Sister Nangong!”

When Li Guan patted her shoulder, Nangong Wumeng flew far away as if there was a spring installed under her body, hiding behind a tree, her face flushed, gritting her teeth: "Don't, don't do this every time! I, I, I won't fall for your trick next time!"

She no longer had the calmness she had pretended to have when they first met.

He was furious, but still carried out Li Guanyi's order.

In fact, her lightness skills were indeed very impressive. Moreover, as a woman in the third realm, she was able to sneak down the mountain while being chased and blocked by the Yin-Yang Wheel Sect’s people, and she used various disguises and temperament changes to make a name for herself. Li Guanyi soon discovered her talent.

A natural scout and intelligence officer.

Li Guanyi stood up and went out. He put on heavy armor, then picked up an extremely heavy edgeless sword with one hand and walked to the front. The sword maniac discovered from the beginning that Li Guanyi's martial arts foundation was not solid enough, so he was not in a hurry to let Li Guanyi break through.

Instead, he began to teach Li Guanyi the basics of martial arts again.

As for Li Guanyi's strength, the old man made an evaluation:

"All in all, it's pretty good in the fourth heaven."

The young man held up two fingers and emphasized, "Two heavens, two heavens!"

Sima Ming was almost amused.

Two different worlds?
If you were in the second heaven, my grandfather would eat the black turtle.

Then he saw the sword maniac Murong Longtu and praised: "You are worthy of being my child!"

"Two levels of heaven, they can fight just like this!"

So Siming was dumbfounded.

The black tortoise knocked Sima Ming away and flew away leisurely.

Li Guanyi always walked in the front, holding a heavy sword, using sword moves to drive his body forward. His speed was not slow, and his muscles and bones, his physique with dragon tendons and tiger marrow, burst out with waves of powerful strength.

Murong Longtu did not teach him the so-called swordsmanship, but taught him to develop his physical potential.

Although Murong Longtu was extremely fond of this child.

But when it comes to training, the more you pamper your child, the stricter the training will be.

All the soldiers of the Qilin Army were so shocked to see that even their own commander was fighting so hard that they trained with all their might one by one. However, they were knocked down by the seven-man team of doctors and had medicine stuffed into their mouths. Those who did not cherish their bodies were dragged away by the seven-man team.

Then bursts of terrible howling broke out.

I heard that the general told them something, muscle soreness is caused by acid accumulation. If you use a fascia knife to massage it, it will be very good.

Several doctors discussed it together and came up with their ancestral bone-setting techniques, which they modified into massage methods specifically for military warriors, attacking specifically the muscle areas.

And with enough samples, the proficiency of this skill increases rapidly.

With constant adjustments, the results are gradually becoming better.

The soldiers were able to maintain considerable physical recovery the next day.

The result was that the howling of human warriors every night was enough to make the wild beasts within miles flee. When Li Guanyi was practicing martial arts with the sword maniac, Yuwen Tianxian finally began to teach Li Guanyi the basics of military formations, and taught Li Guanyi all kinds of military formations.

Yuwen Tianxian's comprehensive qualities are the most comprehensive among the famous generals.

After he spoke, the Qilin Army was regularized at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, even an old veteran like Lei Laomeng showed a marked improvement in his attitude towards Yuwen Tianxian.

No, or rather, precisely because he is an old hand, his attitude has improved rapidly.

The most important thing is that there is more meat in Yuwen Tianxian’s bowl.

If he were to eat noodles today, Yuwen Tianxian could get five cloves of garlic.

Lei Laomeng was very modest, and he was simply throwing away his face, hoping to quietly learn more from the famous general Yuwen Tianxian. When asked why, Lei Laomeng twitched his lips and said, "Be steady, General. You have to be steady. I have more than a hundred brothers under my command now."

"If I'm not stable, these people will die. Whenever I think about this, I can't sleep all night. Can you teach me?"

Yuwen Tianxian remained silent. He wanted to try to understand Li Guanyi's military strategy, so he taught it.

Lei Laomeng had no place to train his soldiers, so he went to catch wild beasts to train.

The Yin Yang Rotating Sect's main gate is located in the buffer zone between the borders of the two countries. Such a sect, which gathers people together and does things that are not decent, is unwilling to place its main altar in the interior of a big country, which is more than 700 miles away.

The Qilin Army marches slowly, even for warriors with internal energy.

At the beginning, they only marched a few dozen miles a day.

Later, the speed gradually increased.

Lei Laomeng gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, let's form a formation and move forward. If the army is formed, everyone's aura will be connected, and it won't be so tiring!" In the end, I don't know which guy spread the message from this small team to all members, and these guys who had no basic knowledge of military strategy got together and decided to do just that.

When Yu Wenhua woke up one day, he saw the entire Qilin Army marching forward in a battle formation ready to charge. Yu Wenhua was startled at first -

The military battle formations, with their auras connected and layered, consume a lot of mental energy.

That is a state of highly concentrated energy, spirit and energy.

As expected, this group of people were all exhausted after walking only more than ten miles that day.

A group of soldiers were lying on the ground, dragged to the military medical tent by seven old ghosts. Seeing their commander practicing sword alone, Yu Wenhua couldn't help but sneer, "Do you think you are also a strong army? You are marching forward in a battle posture?"

“Do you know how difficult this is?”

He already knew that even though he was a prisoner, he would not be beaten.

So he was very dissatisfied and laughed like this.

But on the second day, this group of ruthless men held their breath and maintained the battle formation and marching posture for twenty miles.

Yuwen Hua originally planned to watch their fun, but as he watched, he gradually couldn't laugh anymore. On the seventh day, they had already advanced thirty miles in a battle posture. According to Yuwen Tianxian's military strategy, the scouts discovered the camp ahead, which turned out to be a bandit's den.

Ling Pingyang led the team personally, bringing a group of veterans mixed with thirty heavy cavalry.

Just wipe out this bandit’s hideout.

Clean up the mess, then execute the evildoers, and take the innocent or accomplices into the army.

Training in this way was slow at first, but this army transformed at a speed visible to the naked eye. With the sword maniac here, there was no way their mistakes in martial arts could escape the old man's eyes.

And for Li Guanyi, the grand master personally created a basic sword technique.

Although not good at fighting, he can exercise the meridians, tendons and bones throughout the body, and temper himself from the outside to the inside.

Perfect fit for "Taiping Gong".

The combination of the two was called "Qilin Merit" by the soldiers of the Qilin Army.

Daily practice should not exceed half an hour.

The soldiers of the Qilin Army looked at Li Guanyi who was practicing.

The main general did so, and they naturally chose the method that the boss did.

So on the second day, Yu Wenhua was awakened by the sound of swords. He came out and saw two thousand one hundred big men, holding long swords, forming a formation, and moving forward in a combat posture, slashing and swinging swords. Their breaths were united and turned into a military formation. Their sword moves were simple, but there was a sense of solemnity and sharpness.

It just smeared his face.

Yu Wenhua opened his mouth and he already felt his scalp tingling.

It’s not because of this military force.

With such an army, who couldn't do it as a second-line corps?
But, how long has it been?!

Yuwen Tianxian remained silent for a long time.

And just like this, they suppressed bandits, killed people and trained soldiers along the way, and advanced their speed all the way. After this army had rolled for hundreds of miles, it successfully expanded from 21,000 to 28,000 by suppressing bandits and with the willingness of some of Yuwen Tianxian's original infantry to join.

Under the advice of Yuwen Tianxian, who is considered the most comprehensive general.

A corps reorganization was successfully completed.

There were 2,800 combat troops, each consisting of 50 men, totaling 56 teams. Among the combat troops: 400 crossbowmen, 400 archers, 1,000 heavy infantry, 500 cavalry, and 500 special forces.

Because the mountain roads were difficult to travel, only the front-line troops led by Ling Pingyang could maintain their cavalry status.

Yu Wenhua was silent for a long time, then looked at his uncle and said, "Uncle, if you teach them everything, and they become our enemies again in the future, what should we do?"

Yuwen Tianxian simply said: "The loser will be taken prisoner, and the winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit."

Li Guanyi came to thank Lei Laomeng with the monkey wine he had given him. He also had roasted meat, pancakes made from grain, and wild onions from the mountains. They had a hearty meal. Yuwen Tianxian drank three pots of wine and seemed to be drunk. He just sighed:

"I am from an aristocratic family, and you are a general. There will be a battle someday."

"If I were not in the Yuwen family, I might have been willing to discuss heroism with you over a glass of wine and even join your army."

Yu Wenhua felt a slight chill on his spine and said anxiously, "Uncle!"

Yuwen Tianxian held the wine in his hand and said, "But, after all, I am a descendant of the Yuwen family."

His eyes were calm. He raised the gourd, looked at Li Guanyi, and said:

"One day, you and I will meet again on this battlefield."

Li Guanyi replied: "But at least now, we can still communicate like this."

Yuwen Tianxian did not comment, and after such a march, this army that had been trained, reorganized, and trained finally arrived in front of the mountain gate of the Yin Yang Wheel Sect.
The army marched out and blocked the mountain gate. Even a blind man would have discovered the Yin Yang Rotating Sect.

It was finally autumn that day, and rain was falling from the sky. The Grand Elder was looking worried when suddenly a disciple ran up to him in a panic, saying, "Grand Elder, it's bad, it's bad!"

The Grand Elder asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"

"Is it a sword maniac?"

The disciple screamed: "No."

"It's the army, the army is coming!"

The Grand Elder first breathed a sigh of relief, then his expression suddenly changed: "What army?"

The disciple stammered, "Yes, the Qilin Army led by Qilin in the troubled times has penetrated seven hundred miles and surrounded us directly at the foot of the mountain. There are as many as five or six thousand people!" The Supreme Elder suddenly changed, flew away, and saw that the mountain was already covered with iron armor.

The scarlet battle flag fluttered, connected with the inky rain clouds behind it.

When he realized that this was the Halberd Maniac from the [Hunting Kirin Conference] that was provoked by the great elder.

The Grand Elder almost wanted to drag that headless guy out.

Kill again!
Hey!
At the Hunting Competition, you brought five thousand heavily armored soldiers?!
Good, good, you really are worthy of being the great elder!
The Grand Elder's face almost twisted.

The Yin Yang Rotating Sect had only about a thousand people, including the menial disciples, but it was already a large sect. In the past month, all the warrior disciples were summoned back to make up a total of 8,000 people.

However, although the eight thousand martial artists were numerous, they had no armor and lacked the means to attack together. Facing thousands of heavily armored soldiers directly surrounding the mountain, they would probably not be able to gain any advantage. The heart of the Grand Elder was bleeding, for he knew that the army included Ling Pingyang and Li Guanyi, who possessed the Qilin and the combat power of the sixth level.

Knowing this, he could kill the famous generals by gathering their forces.

The Yin-Yang Rotating Sect is also going to be destroyed.

As the rain fell, there was silence in the Yin Yang Rotating Sect. Then, at the foot of the mountain, when the sound of war horses' hooves landed on the bluestone steps, the sound was so clear that it sank into their hearts. They gathered together, stood in front of the mountain gate, and looked at the foot of the mountain as a black horse stepped onto the mountain.

The young general in armor held the reins in one hand.

He was wearing the ink-colored armor of a Central Plains general and his black hair was tied into a general's bun.

The warhorse carried him up the mountain step by step.

The armor whistled softly, solemn and sharp.

A little rain fell on his armor, splashing and reflecting a faint light, as if he was covered with a layer of light. Behind him was an army wearing heavy armor, holding huge shields and holding crossbows, following behind them, like a vast black cloud.

The oppressive power of a famous general on the battlefield over the martial arts world fell heavily like a dark cloud pressing down on a city.

The Supreme Elder expressed his murderous intention and wanted to kill the young general at all costs.

But he saw an old man in green robes walking in the air beside the young general.

His face changed instantly!

The Yin Yang Rotating Sect, with a total of 8,000 warriors in the mountain gate, including many guest officials and martial arts masters, gathered together. It is a first-class sect in the world with huge influence and complexity. The supreme elder Wei Tianduo just thought that with so many people, even a sword maniac could not kill them all!
The young general reined in his horse, and Wei Tianduo laughed loudly:
"The Qilin of troubled times lives up to its reputation!"

"A sword maniac, with outstanding style!"

"I have met you two."

As he spoke, heaven and earth pressed down on him, with a roaring and turbulent situation, the sea of ​​clouds billowed, and the sky within a radius of dozens of miles changed. This was the so-called aura of a great grandmaster. He was one of the top ten grandmasters of the previous era, and he had relied on the years to build up a ninth-level foundation!
The old man in green looked at the Grand Elder and the dense crowd of martial artists behind him.

The sword maniac simply said calmly: "Wei Tianduo?"

With two hundred years of internal strength, Wei Tianduo, who was at the Ninth Heaven Realm, said loudly:

"It's the old man."

The swordsman in green, with a willow branch on his waist, nodded.

He put his right hand behind his back and said calmly:
"You, commit suicide."
