The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1792 Going north!

Under the azure sky, in the distance stretches an endless expanse of snow-capped mountains.

Standing on the hill, Zhang Cheng looked down with a smile in his eyes and said, "Even though I'm standing this high, I still can't see far enough!"

"Then we should stand even higher!"

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wang Yin, Lu Zhishen, and Deng Yuanjue, who were standing beside him, laughed.

"That's right, it should stand higher! Hahaha!"

Speaking loudly, Zhang Cheng spread his arms wide and declared, "This world will be ours sooner or later!"

"Run, brother, run!"

A sudden scream of terror rang out, and Jiao Ting came running frantically, his eyes filled with panic.

Turning their heads in surprise, they saw Deng Yuanjue and Lu Zhishen hurriedly raise their monk's staffs, wondering if these were reckless nobles and living Buddhas planning a counterattack!

But just as Jiao Ting was frantically waving his hands, Zhang Cheng subconsciously sensed that something was wrong.

Because something that could scare Jiao Ting into running away, could it be...?
"Fuck!"

With a roar, Zhang Cheng turned and ran, giving Wang Yin no chance to hesitate.
By the time Wang Yin and the others reacted, Zhang Cheng had already run more than ten meters away.
"General, general."

Seemingly sensing the danger, Wang Yin immediately drew his knife, ready to help him stop it, but found that Zhang Cheng had already disappeared without a trace.

"Ma De, Jiao Ting, what have you done?"

glaring angrily at Jiao Ting, Deng Yuanjue and Lu Zhishen quickly put away their staffs and ran for their lives.

Just as the group was on the same line, they saw a herd of crazed yaks chasing them relentlessly from behind.

"moo"

Smoke billowing from their nostrils, the yaks charged like heavy tanks.

Looking at the yaks behind him, Jiao Ting said awkwardly, "I just wanted to roast a calf."

Staring at Jiao Ting in shock, the others broke out in a cold sweat after hearing these words.
No, bro, are you crazy?
That's a herd of yaks! Didn't you think about their bad temper before you went up there?
"Holy crap, that guy runs so fast!"

Seeing Zhang Cheng almost reaching his warhorse in the distance, Jiao Ting couldn't help but be surprised.
"If you're out in the world of martial arts, how can you survive if you can't run fast!"

Looking at Jiao Ting with annoyance, Wang Yin couldn't help but complain.
Just as the group reached their warhorses, they saw that Zhang Cheng had already slipped away.
Because this is no ordinary herd of cattle, but a Tibetan-style "Great Transport"!

Back then, Tian Dan relied on his fire ox formation to restore the State of Qi.
Now Jiao Ting can use yaks to make the high-ranking officers of the Dingnan Army flee in disarray. Tell me, isn't that amazing!
After fleeing all the way back to Hongshan Palace, everyone gasped for breath.
Looking at Jiao Ting, Zhang Cheng didn't know what to blame him for, because he was just being completely clueless!
"Brother, me!"

Looking awkwardly at Zhang Cheng, Jiao Ting rubbed his head, appearing quite simple-minded.

Facing Jiao Ting, Zhang Cheng didn't say much, but looked at him and said, "Tell me in advance next time, and I'll go further away!"

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wang Yin and the others burst into laughter.

"Oh dear, what happened? You look so disheveled!"

Emerging from the palace, Li Qingzhao, dressed in an elegant long gown, looked at the group with a puzzled expression.

"Meet the princess!"

Lu Zhishen and the others bowed to Li Qingzhao with great respect.
"Generals, there's no need for this. Has my husband caused you any trouble again?"

With a broad smile, Li Qingzhao spoke with particular amusement.
"Can you speak?"

Looking at Li Qingzhao, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask in surprise,
Rolling her eyes at Zhang Cheng, Li Qingzhao then said, "Father has sent word back. The court is taking your conquest of Tibet very seriously, but my brother-in-law doesn't know how to reward you."

"It's that bastard Cai Jing again! If you ask me, we should have Brother Shi Qian find a chance to kill him!" Lu Zhishen said angrily, his face filled with rage.
"Brother Lu Da, calm down! Cai Jing is the Princess's cousin-in-law, how can you do this!"

Looking at Lu Zhishen beside him, Deng Yuanjue couldn't help but try to comfort him.
But the next second, Deng Yuanjue said seriously, "Let me do it, I'll go and smash his sand pot!"

Wang Yin stared wide-eyed, his face full of astonishment, because you didn't give Cai Jing a way out either!
"What happened to Cai Jing is nothing. But now that the Jin Dynasty has risen and captured Liaoyang Prefecture, we should hurry up and end the Tubo rebellion!"

Looking at the crowd before him, Zhang Cheng's eyes sharpened.
Because the Liao Kingdom is now so useless that it was defeated by Wanyan Aguda with less than 10,000 men, and they were forced to stand with their hands in their pockets and dare not fight back!
If there was anyone more useless than the Liao Dynasty, it would definitely be the Northern Song Dynasty!

After all these years, has Cai Jing never intended to reclaim military power? He simply lacked the strength to defeat the Dingnan Army!

With those pampered Imperial Guards and the Four Wings Army, they would have a hard time even fighting a mountain bandit, let alone the Southern Army and the Jin Dynasty.

"Commander Wu has already recaptured the last part; our army can move north at any time!"

Facing Zhang Cheng, Wang Yin quickly began to explain.
Considering his words, Zhang Cheng stroked his beard and said, "Then... head north!"

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Li Qingzhao exclaimed in surprise, "Wouldn't marching north now be giving the Western Xia an advantage?"

"Your Highness, we are heading north to attack the Western Xia, not the Song Dynasty!"

Looking at Li Qingzhao with a broad smile, Wang Yin began to explain.

"But will the imperial court allow the Dingnan Army to march north?"

Li Qingzhao spoke in disbelief, momentarily dazed.
She struggled with the decision for a long time after learning that Zhang Cheng was ambitious.
But in the end, she chose to stay because she couldn't forget the way he had looked at her with disdain and said that she wasn't good enough for him.

But now, at this very moment, Li Qingzhao was conflicted.

After all, she was also a Song person. She really didn't want to see the people of the world suffer and die!

"Now is not the time to break ties with the imperial court, but we must take down Western Xia!"

After saying this, Zhang Cheng immediately said, "Let Wu Song lead the Third Army Corps into Gaochang Uyghur territory! Prevent them from interfering in matters concerning Western Xia!"

"Yes, General!"

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wang Yin immediately spoke up.
Just as he finished speaking, a messenger ran in and reported, "General Yang Zhi has conquered Angkor, and the Khmer royal family has been completely annihilated!"

"Hahaha, as expected of the Blue-Faced Beast, well done!"

Excitedly, Zhang Cheng squinted and said, "Now, the last obstacle preventing us from heading north is gone, everyone!"

"Congratulations General!"

Many people became excited as they bowed to Zhang Cheng.

Because this vast land seems to be laid out before everyone at this moment.
As for whether they could conquer Western Xia, no one doubted it.
After all, the Liao Dynasty, which had once helped the Western Xia, was now being beaten so badly by the Jin Dynasty that it dared not retaliate. The Northern Song Dynasty was even worse off; it was struggling even when it was winning.
However, what worries Zhang Cheng are the Zhong family army and the Zhe family army.

Because these two are not to be underestimated, Zhang Cheng doesn't think he can easily defeat them if they really fight.

Shaanxi, Fugu
The place where the Zhe family has lived for generations

Zhe Keqiu looked at the official document, his expression turning serious.

"Father, this can't go on. The news from Tibet is getting worse and worse. The Dingnan Army is about to march north!"

Addressing Zhe Keqiu in front of him, Zhe Yanwen revealed a serious expression.
Looking at his son, Zhe Keqiu said seriously, "But the court doesn't consider the Dingnan Army to be traitors. What can I do? Besides, if a real war breaks out, do you really think the Dingnan Army, which can conquer Tibet, is easier to defeat than the Western Xia?"

When he spoke to his son, Zhe Keqiu never imagined that such a vast imperial court could have raised the Dingnan Army into such a powerful figure!
Cai Jing: I don't understand!
Emperor Huizong of Song: I don't understand either!

Zhang Cheng: The advantage is in my hands in this battle!
