Chapter 436: Great Victory, Breakthrough! (Seeking monthly ticket)

When Jiang Xuantao's head fell, Jiang Su's palm paused for a moment.

The cold and indifferent general seemed to flash back through that brief period of time before his eyes, including the indifferent decision when he decided to leave a pillar for the future Ying State, and the slight ripples when he looked at the child's appearance after leaving the bloodline.

There are elders who teach him martial arts every day, and Jiang Xuantao grows up from a young child, gradually becoming a spirited teenager, then a handsome young man, stepping onto the battlefield, and making great achievements.

All the things in the past were like flowing water. She didn't care about them before, but now they were like a sharp knife piercing Jiang Su's heart.

The martial arts legend's palm was delayed when it was retracted at that moment.

Jiang Xuantao's head fell to the ground and rolled.

A pair of unwilling eyes were still staring at the sky.

All the past events vanished into thin air. Jiang Su remained silent for a long time, then slowly raised his eyes to look at Li Guanyi. The bottom of his intact eye was filled with a turbulent tide, and he said, "...Qin Wuhou, what a good trick."

Li Guanyi replied calmly: "On the battlefield, it's just a matter of life and death. I have no interest in killing people."

"Jiang Xuantao's body was seized by his subordinates."

"Yu Yuwenlie, when He Ruo's army retreated, he was trampled into a pulp by the thousands of soldiers. We wanted to collect it, but failed. Only this head is intact. Death is the greatest thing. Jiang Su, you can take it away."

"His body if you want it."

"I can have someone bring you the blood mud from that piece of land."

! ! ! !
Being trampled into a pulp by thousands of soldiers and horses!

Jiang Su felt a slight pain in her heart.

He now experienced more fully how much pain Chen Wenmian had felt that day.

Jiang Su's eyes were cold and calm as he stared at Qin Wuhou. He exerted a little force on the hand holding the Spear of Annihilation, and the blade of the spear made bursts of whistling sounds. Li Guanyi also looked at him with a cold and arrogant look.

They both knew that Li Guanyi threw Jiang Xuantao's head to Jiang Su because of revenge for the Wolf King.

I know that there is a blood feud between the two of them that cannot be washed away by even the mighty rivers.

Jiang Su took a deep breath and said indifferently, "No need. It is the fate of a general to die on the battlefield wrapped in his horse's hide. He died on the battlefield against Jiangnan. It was a good death, a happy death, and no shame."

"One day when I conquer your Jiangnan, I will go to the place where he died to pay tribute to him."

"In memory of all the men of Daying who died on the battlefield!"

Jiang Su felt a dull pain in his heart, but as the commander-in-chief he could not show any sign of wavering. Any pain, anger and unwillingness had to be buried deep in his heart. He saw the city defense formation on this city.

I could vaguely sense the aura of the whale fisherman, General Xue.

I know that there are mysteries hidden in this seemingly ordinary city.

Jiang Su did not attack the city rashly, but stationed his troops on both sides. He was extremely calm and knew that he should complete the strategic goal first instead of just fighting hard. Even though his son died in front of him, which was extremely tragic, he did not get angry or crazy and let it affect his behavior.

The Qilin Army's advance into Ying State came to a halt here.

The news that the Tai Shi of Ying State successfully intercepted Qin Wu Hou spread throughout the world, and the hearts of the officials in the court of Ying State were immediately reassured. Jiang Su had accomplished his original strategic goal. At this moment, the public opinion and people's hearts in Ying State could not support a war with Jiangnan.

If we continue to fight, people's morale will collapse.

Jiang Su was still worried about the powerful men from Ying State who had had contact with the Wolf King.

Worried about the series of changes that will be caused by changes in public opinion.

The people's hearts changed and uprisings broke out everywhere. Such things were enough to cause a prosperous empire to collapse rapidly and fall apart. At this moment, after experiencing the failure of a long war, the people's hearts and situation in Ying State had reached an extremely dangerous level.

We can't fight any more, and we can't delay any further.

According to Jiang Su's previous strategy, he would not continue such a meaningless war in the overall situation. He should return to the court immediately and enter the next stage to recuperate.

But at this moment, the Ying State army was stationed directly outside the city gate and did not leave.

It seems that he still wants to continue fighting.

Even for someone like Jiang Su, a man with a heart as hard as iron, seeing his only son die before his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little sad and pained, which made him more determined to kill Li Guanyi.

Jiang Xuantao's head was placed in a box. Jiang Su could not bear to look at it, so he just closed the box and put it on the table. He held the weapon in his hand, and the Spear of Annihilation hummed miserably in the night. The murderous intent in his heart was flowing, almost breaking through the blockade of reason.

We must fight and kill!

We must raise a large army and drive fiercely into Jiangnan. Regardless of everything, we must take Yingguo and Jiangnan into the vortex of crazy and endless war, exhaust the resources of both sides in the war, and then fall together!

But he also knew that the whale fisherman and Duke Xue were there.

The rear is more directly Jiangnan’s sphere of influence.

Even if Li Guanyi was no match for him, he could still survive by abandoning his army.

At this moment, Ying State has entered a period where it cannot easily start a war. If it goes to war but fails to defeat the enemy, then it will be meaningless and will only further deplete the country's strength and prestige.

The world has been trapped in fighting for too long, and it is time to return to rest and recuperation.

A few years later, the war came again.

"We can't...we can't fight anymore."

Jiang Su let go of the magic weapon Jiemie and gasped for breath with a ferocious look on his face, but he used reason to lock his emotions tightly: "If we continue to fight with Jiangnan regardless of everything, in the end, both sides will fight for their foundation and people's livelihood, and the people of Central Plains will suffer."

"Even if we decide the winner in the end, it will lead to the Northern Turks and the Hu people invading our Central Plains. By then, the Central Plains will be weak and unable to resist. If there is any rift, it will probably be a more chaotic world than three hundred years ago. We can't do that. We can't do that."

Jiang Su staggered and sat on the chair. Precisely because he had a good sense of the overall situation, he was the warrior who would never rely on his emotions to do what he wanted.

His white hair hung down and his single eye was closed. At this moment, after losing his iron will and the indifference that transcended means, he finally looked like an old man.

The image of the only bloodline of this era vaguely appeared before my eyes.

That kind of fear and unwillingness.

It was obvious that the beheading was done in a very violent way at close range...

'He was trampled into pulp in the midst of a mighty host.'

Li Guanyi's voice seemed to rise in his heart. Jiang Su closed his eyes and let the emotion and anger out of his heart bit by bit, like peeling off threads of a cocoon. Then he was no longer affected, and he returned to being the cold god of war.

Honor or disgrace cannot affect his heart, life or death cannot disturb his will.

Soon new secret information came. There were red marks on the message. This was the highest-standard secret letter in the entire Ying State. Jiang Su opened the letter and took a look at it. His face changed drastically.

'Your Majesty suddenly coughed up blood and fainted, and the country and the court were in turmoil!'

"Your Highnesses have already arrived at the palace. The other high officials, the Prime Minister and their relatives are all waiting outside the palace."

"Please return to the court as soon as possible, Grand Master!"

Jiang Su's expression froze slightly and his pupils contracted.

"His Majesty……"

Jiang Wanxiang suddenly coughed up blood and fell into a coma. Li Guanyi defeated Yuwen Lie, and He Ruo captured the tiger army. The invasion of the border, even if not many cities were captured, was extremely bad in nature. The excitement stirred up the hidden injury left by the Wolf King Chen Fubi.

Jiang Wanxiang couldn't hold on after all.

If Jiang Wanxiang died at this moment, the chaos in the court of Ying State would reach its peak almost in an instant. Yuwen Lie would have his arm broken, He Ruoqinhu would be seriously injured, and the power of the crown prince and the second prince would both enter a period of decline at this time.

Therefore, it will lead to the most violent split.

Jiang Su's complexion changed.

His rationality and the agreement he made with Jiang Wanxiang.

The world's number one general completely suppressed the sadness and pain of his son's death. Compared with this strategically meaningless war at the moment, returning to the country and protecting the stability of the country was what the Grand Tutor should do.

The responsibilities to family and country take precedence over personal grudges and hatreds.

This is true whether it is the various means used or the death of blood relatives.

"Instruct all troops to stay here according to the previous arrangements."

"I will return to the court immediately after tomorrow."

"promise!"

………………

On the second day, all the troops of Ying State were mobilized, but Grand Tutor Jiang Su did not withdraw immediately. Before leaving, he still sent generals to challenge the enemy. Retreating without fighting would also have a huge negative impact on the country's military morale.

The Tian Ce Mansion did not fight back, and several feint attacks were also beaten back.

The Whale Fisherman and General Xue were personally stationed at the city defense formation. The 40,000 elite troops had completely switched from offense to defense, and were even more connected with the terrain, making it indestructible. Only the Ying State Grand Tutor Jiang Su personally led his troops to attack with military force.

The momentum was like a rainbow, and there was a faint sound of a huge golden-armored god-like soldier soul as huge as a mountain. It swung a sword light towards this place. The sword light was so huge that it seemed to connect heaven and earth, leaving a hideous mark on the earth and slashing forward fiercely.

The whale fisherman looked slightly serious and shouted:

"Be careful, this old guy is angry, set up the formation!"

Incredibly, the whale fisherman's voice rang in the ears of the Qilin Army in various areas at the same time. As the whale fisherman called for the battle to begin, the captains of each unit of the Qilin Army gave orders, and everyone from the lieutenants, centurions, squad leaders, and sergeants moved together.

The soldiers of the Qilin Army stepped into their formation positions.

The Qi is connected, making the formation even more powerful, and its flow is extremely exquisite.

Even to prevent this group of uncouth people from not understanding this mysterious formation.

The whale fisherman patiently drew circles for them on the ground, changing his body shape and aura according to the different formations. In the past, even if Si Wei came to challenge the formation, the whale fisherman would just sneer and not bother to pay attention.

Today, I have to be patient and help these soldiers set up their battle formation.

With the whale fisherman's control.

In an instant, the breathing of forty thousand people seemed to turn into one person. Old Sima Ming clasped his hands together, and the Qi flowed and changed, interweaving to become a huge River Map and Luo Shu, appearing above the city.

The huge sword light and the ancient River Map and Luo Shu collided with each other.

The violent aura spread in all directions.

The whale fisherman's silver hair was flying and his eyes were sharp.

The God of War Jiang Su's move was to gather everyone's strength and strike out as one; the whale fisherman's formation was to break up this terrifying weapon that was enough to kill the beast in one blow, and then disperse it layer by layer.

With the help of the 40,000-strong Qilin Army and the method of forming a formation with the mountains and rivers developed by Si Wei, the aftermath of this move was directed into the earth, dispersing this force.

The sword formation collided with the city's defense formation, and dissipated after a long time. At the moment the sword light dissipated, an extremely strong aftermath swept across the entire city. In the city, wine flags and other items were all broken, and the houses shook violently.

The morale of the entire army collapsed. Many soldiers with low cultivation levels turned pale, with blood surging in their chests and almost coughing up blood, but they finally blocked Jiang Su's move.

The whale fisherman looked up and saw that the sea of ​​clouds in the sky was split in the middle.

I knew that Jiang Su was really ruthless.

When Jiang Su stood here holding the Silent Spear, he really wanted to lead the army to flatten this place at any battle. However, at this moment, the situation in Jiangnan and the world was overwhelming, as well as the whale fisherman, General Xue and Sima Ming.

With the current strength of the army, it is impossible to capture Li Guanyi who is backed by Jiangnan.

You can defeat it, but you can't kill it. But you can't kill it.

It is meaningless.

Li Guanyi will always make a comeback.

Jiang Su couldn't help but sigh at the commander-in-chief's overall view and what happened in the rear. He even felt a little envious of the disciple who still had some spirit.

If it were Yuwen Lie, he would have chosen to charge without hesitation, but Jiang Su was the Grand Tutor of the entire Ying State after all. He still remembered the young man Jiang Wanxiang who stood in front of him and stretched out his hand decades ago.

But now, the young men at that time have become old.

So he knew that even if he was a god of war, even if he was a martial arts legend who looked down on everyone on the battlefield, there were things that he could not violate. He sighed and inserted the magic spear in his hand into the ground. The white-haired Grand Master said loudly:
"Li Guanyi!"

"You and I both have tens of thousands of troops. We are now in a stalemate. I cannot advance and you cannot retreat. Since the autumn of the eleventh year of Tianqi, the world has been at war for more than two years. All nations are exhausted, and the people hope to recuperate."

"If you and I fight again, all the people in the world will suffer."

"How about this time, just you and I compete to see who wins?!"

"If you win, I will withdraw my troops. These cities originally belonged to the State of Chen, so I will give them to you now. But if I win, you and the Qilin Army will have to withdraw from this city and retreat three hundred miles."

Jiang Su's voice was heard from far away, his words were righteous and he spoke for the country and the people.

Before Li Guanyi could answer, the whale fisherman sneered and yelled, "You two should compete with each other. Jiang Su, how can you say such a thing with your face? You are a hundreds-year-old monster, the world's number one general, and you want to compete with a 19-year-old boy."

"You talk so proudly, but you are just a bully."

"Why don't you go compete with the sword maniac?!"

"Do you want to go into the secret realm, find the ancient red dragon that has lived for thousands of years, and then tell him that we can have a duel without any soldiers?!"

"It's weird. It's weird."

"I thought you had something behind your ass to fart and poop."

"Why do you have another one on your face?"

"Give you face!"

The sneering and mocking voices of the whale fishermen rolled down.

General Xue's tiger body shook.

Ok? ? ?
This young man is so fierce?

Old Siming and Old Black Turtle looked at each other.

Even Li Guanyi found it difficult to keep his face straight. As the guy with the lowest starting point in martial arts legends, who started out as a beggar and had tried everything from cheating to deceiving others, the whale fisherman's language was more aggressive than anyone else's.

Jiang Su had murderous intent in his heart and said:
"I want to talk to Li Guanyi, not to beggars like you."

"Li Guanyi, come here."

"War or not!"

Li Guanyi knew that he could not retreat at this time, as everyone's attention was on him. If he was defeated in the battle, his soldiers would be in disarray. If he did not fight, Qin Wuhou's reputation and spirit would eventually be weakened.

Li Guan stepped forward, put his palm on the city wall, looked at the world's number one general riding on the divine horse, who was as majestic and solemn as an iron tower, and said, "Okay, I'll compete with you!"

The whale fisherman, General Xue, and everyone else all changed slightly.

But at this moment, I heard Li Guanyi say:
"But, it's just me versus you. This city was conquered by my men with all our strength. It's their trophy. I can't do it alone. It's impossible for me to hand this place over to you if I lose to you alone. It's absolutely impossible!"

"Besides, I've already promised some people!"

"I must defend this place!"

"I will never be like those people before me, I won't be like my father, I won't be like my uncle and the others, and abandon them!"

Li Guanyi raised his eyebrows, his eyes were fierce, and he said:

"The world belongs to everyone in the world, not to you and me."

"Jiangnan is also the Jiangnan of millions of people. If I don't say anything, their wishes will be wiped out."

"If you want to fight, then fight, Jiang Su, you can fight with my Tiance Mansion for as long as you want. We will fight with you as long as you want until you win completely."

There was a sense of heroic spirit in Li Guanyi's words, and the common people and soldiers were all brave. Feng Xiao, who was worried that Li Guanyi would fall into a trap, froze for a moment, then his eyebrows drooped and he nodded repeatedly:

"Ah, yes, yes, that's it! It should be served with wine!"

I looked around but there was no wine, so I took out the cooking wine I bought from some store and tricked my brain into thinking that this was the best pure brew, so I just drank it reluctantly.

Good wine!

A smell of vegetables!

Jiang Su looked at Li Guanyi, and Li Guanyi also looked at Jiang Su. The world's number one general said, "Okay!" Rather than wanting to get this city, he just wanted to vent his emotions of losing his offspring but having to return to the court.

He put down his spear, took off his magic bow, and aimed his arrow at Li Guanyi.

The murderous intent of losing a blood relative is strong.

Li Guanyi held the Poyun Zhentian Bow, opened it, and pointed it at the old man on the mount. The murderous aura of both of them was extremely strong. In Li Guanyi's chest, the Jiuzhou Ding roared violently.

The arrogance of the peak of the eighth heaven.

Even though there is a huge gap between him and Jiang Su, he still has the determination to draw his sword.

He stood on the city, with the vast territory and the support of millions of people behind him. He was wearing armor, and the scarlet Qilin pattern was dancing in the wind of Jiangnan. Li Guanyi pointed his arrow at Jiang Su, his eyes sharp.

The person who killed his parents and the culprit who caused the deaths of many Taiping Army generals.

The death of the Wolf King, the death of Gu Daohui, and Xiao Wuliang’s broken arm.

There are many comrades.

Hatred!

Blood feud!!

Finally, he faced this blood feud, the original starting point of many hatreds, and all the past events surged away from his eyes and from Li Guanyi's heart. Countless thoughts, the voice of the Wolf King, Gu Daohui's determination, and the voices of old friends appeared in a mess.

Finally, all Li Guanyi could think of in his mind were the memories of his childhood, his mother patting him gently and humming a ballad softly. He suddenly remembered the day when the woman held him in her arms, the spring light flowing, and the long water in the south of the Yangtze River.

She rested her chin on the child's forehead, smiling and humming an ancient song.

'I only wish my child to live a long life, happy and worry-free.'

'Live a long life.'

'Long-lasting happiness without worries.'

Other than that, everything is blank.

The arrow of the Po Yun Zhen Tian bow was pointed at Jiang Su, the man with whom he had a blood feud that could not be washed away even if all the water from the three rivers and five lakes was poured out. In a trance, more than ten years had passed since that day.

The gentle woman eventually left the child, and the child stumbled forward.

A young pharmacist in plain clothes with a childish but clever smile on his face, a fourteen-year-old guest official in a blue robe with dark patterns, the Jinwu Guards, fugitives, Taoist priests, and the leader of a wandering army, these scenes flashed before his eyes.

"My name is Li Guanyi, and I am the pharmacist of Huichuntang."

'I am the guest of the Xue family, Li Guanyi'

"Li Guanyi, Jinwu Guard!"

'I am the poor Taoist, Pharmacist Li'

"My father, Lord Taiping..."

"Qilin Army!!!"

Li Guan raised his eyes, the bowstring was fully drawn, and the arrow shot out. All the things of the past were shattered. Standing here was Qin Wuhou, who had transcended all the past, a contemporary hero who had conquered a vast territory with a pair of arms and a halberd.

The arrow shot out like a beam of light, and Grand Tutor Jiang Su shot back with an arrow.

Jiang Su's arrow was shot later but arrived first and broke Li Guanyi's arrow. However, Li Guanyi seemed to instinctively avoid it and the arrow shot out from the side of his cheek, leaving a bloody mark on his cheek and blood flowing out.

The flags of the Qilin Army are flying high, and Qin Wuhou has a solemn aura.

Grand Tutor Jiang Su looked calm and picked up the second arrow.

Li Guanyi also responded with a second arrow.

The second arrow still shattered in the air. The whale fisherman, General Xue, Lao Siming and others did not speak. When they saw Li Guanyi finally walking in front of his enemy, they felt that his energy and spirit were highly concentrated.

"Unfortunately, even with a divine weapon, it is impossible to fight Jiang Su at this level. Not to mention defeating him, even gaining a slight advantage is difficult."

General Xue said, "Yes, Jiang Su's martial arts have reached the highest level."

"unless……"

The old Siming asked, "Unless what?"

General Xue said, "Unless he suddenly breaks through, the force of the arrow will be much stronger than the previous two arrows, catching Jiang Su off guard, and he can save Jiang Su's face in front of the three armies. But how is this possible?"

Both Old Siming and the whale fisherman thought this was bullshit.

Breakthrough on the battlefield.

Old Siming shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Even if I support this kid Li Guanyi, this is too ridiculous."

"Old man, I'm betting my 30 years of fortune to tell you that this is impossible!"

Li Guanyi took the last arrow and concentrated his mind. At this moment, he suddenly heard a huge tripod sound. The energy in Li Guanyi's body stagnated. In the capital of the Eighteen Prefectures in the South of the Yangtze River, an auspicious sign arrived at an extremely high speed.

The black and white iron-eating beasts ran wildly all the way, like a meat bomb rolling all the way from the mountains in the southwest into the south of the Yangtze River.

On Xiangrui's back, Nangong Wumeng was wearing armor and grabbing Xiangrui's neck. He was almost knocked over with fear. Nangong Wumeng's face turned pale, but he still endured the fear and rushed into Tiance Mansion, shouting:
"Great victory! Great victory!!!"

What Nangong Wumeng wore around his waist were the seals of many cities!
The only monster that can carry good fortune in its physical body without having to worry about getting into bad luck due to not being able to suppress this good fortune.

Luck and fortune are like waves, rolling into this place.

As bold as a tiger!
Like a tiger!

Nangong Wumeng entered Jiangnan.

Li Guanyi's aura suddenly surged, and the sound of the Nine Cauldrons roared. The Nine Cauldrons on the highest peak of Juxu Mountain in the Western Regions burst out with an extremely strong and desolate cauldron sound. At this moment, Li Guanyi's aura surged.

Finally, I took a step into the ninth heaven.

The fingers loosened.

Arrow, shoot!
