Chapter 292: Imperial Astronomical Observatory, King Linglan

In the big tent, all the generals dispersed, leaving only Xiao Lou, Li Jinyun, and Lei Ming.

"Marquis Jingyun, is it true that the Linghe defense line cannot be held?" Xiao Lou raised his head and spoke in a low voice.

Li Jinyun, who had originally had a calm expression, sighed softly.

"Who has the confidence to hold on against Murong Zhao?"

Lei Ming on the side had a complicated expression and nodded slightly.

That was the Marquis of Yanbei, the Emperor of Great Yan, who had been famous for three hundred years.

"Murong Zhao will definitely lead his army straight to Linghe and join forces with the Jubei Army."

Li Jinyun looked at the map in front of him with a serious expression.

"We have a duty to defend our territory. Even if we die fighting in Linghe, we will never retreat."

"Black Bear is the most qualified person in our army besides Yellow Lion to inherit the leadership of the Red Scale Army."

"Select some of the boys and take them to Gubei City. If we are defeated here, they can take away the seeds of the Red Scale Army."

After Li Jinyun finished speaking, he turned to look at Lei Ming beside him.

Lei Ming nodded: "Young soldiers and generals will also be dispatched from the Northwest Army."

"Leave some fire."

Xiao Lou opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he felt something blocking his throat.

This is the battlefield, and no amount of big talk can change the situation.

Any strategy would be in vain in the face of the absolute strength of the army.

Li Jinyun dispatched troops to Gubei City, not to ask the soldiers to defend Gubei City, but to prepare for the loss of Linghe line and the annihilation of the Chilin Army and the Northwest Army defenders.

Murong Zhao will definitely attack Linghe Camp first, so that there will be a glimmer of hope for Gubei City.

Just now, I ordered Black Bear to lead the troops to defend Gubei City, just to give them a reason to leave Linghe Camp.

Half a day later, Xiao Lou, along with Black Bear Yuchi Feng, led 8,000 elite troops from the Red Scale Army and the Northwest Army to rush to the rescue of Gubei City.

The army marched forward, and the smoke and dust were stirring.

"Boss, if we go to Gubei City, can we hold it?" A Northwest Army soldier wearing black armor looked behind him and spoke in a low voice.

According to the transfer order, they had to defend Gubei City to the death, even if they had to face the 150,000-strong Zhenxi Army.

"We must defend it whether we can or cannot." Chen Wu, who was wearing centurion armor, lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

After one year of enlistment, Chen Wu was promoted to centurion for his merits.

The Northwest Army was dismantled, and Chen Wu was left behind as a seed.

At this time, not only did he have the rank of centurion, but his cultivation had also reached the half-step innate level.

……

Flying Eagle Pass.

The Qingxuan Guards escorted Han Xiao and the seriously injured Yu Kuizhen back to the interior of the country and reported the changes in Beiyan.

In Feiying Pass, smoke of war rose that had not been lit for several years.

In the stone fortress in the middle of the city, inside a bluestone house.

Yu Kuizhen, the third-rank official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, two masters Lin Yutang and Li Tingyun, Han Xiao in a green official robe, two commanders guarding Feiying Pass, and two old men in green Taoist robes all stood upright.

Several people placed their palms on the stone platform in front of them.

Spiritual patterns lit up one after another.

In front, on the green stone wall, mysterious cloud patterns vibrated and then turned into a curtain of light.

In the light curtain, a white-bearded Taoist priest in a blue-gray Taoist robe looked up.

"I am Yunhong, the guard at the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. What happened at Feiying Pass?"

Qin Tianjian.

In the Great Qin Imperial City, located within the imperial palace, there is an extremely mysterious place.

It is said that the Imperial Observatory is a legacy of immortality, which was snatched from the immortal and demonic forces by the Qin Dynasty.

Outsiders don’t know that every border checkpoint and county government in the Great Qin Dynasty has formations that lead directly to the Imperial Observatory.

However, this communication formation is extremely difficult to activate and consumes a lot of energy. It must not be used unless it is a truly critical moment.

"Yu Kuizhen, the Third Rank Director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, reports."

"Lin Yutang of the Worship Hall, Li Tingyun reports."

"Han Xiao, the deputy envoy of the Northern Yan delegation, reports."

"The deputy commander stationed at Feiying Pass, Zuo Zheng, and Du Changlin report in."

Several people bowed and quickly summarized the news of the Northern Yan incident.

Everyone only said what he knew. The Taoist on the other side of the light curtain held a jade pendant in his hand, which was shining with spiritual light and recorded what everyone said.

After everyone finished speaking, Taoist Yun Hong in the Imperial Observatory raised his hand and waved, and the light curtain dissipated.

Inside the stone house, everyone looked solemn as they waited quietly.

Half an hour later, the light curtain lit up. "Buzz——"

Rays of light flickered in the clouds.

A figure appeared in the light curtain.

"teacher!"

Han Xiao let out a low cry.

Within the light curtain, the middle-aged official wearing a blue and red official robe and a gauze hat was none other than Zhou Chang, the Assistant Minister of War.

Beside Zhou Chang was an official from the Black Ice Platform wearing a black military officer's robe and a goose-feather long sword hanging from his waist.

Han Xiao recognized him; he was the deputy commander of the Black Ice Platform of the Great Qin, Marquis of Changning, Su Jing.

Zhou Chang glanced across the light curtain, then looked at the Marquis of Changning beside him and nodded.

"The Black Ice Platform has already grasped the information about Yan." Marquis Changning said lightly.

"Your contribution to the communication will be recorded in the court."

After saying that, he took a step back.

Outside the light curtain, everyone looked at each other.

They were not surprised that Heibingtai had obtained the news from Yandi in advance.

That is the Black Ice Platform of the Great Qin, which controls the five countries and three regions, and even the information outside Yongtian Continent is normal.

But how to deal with it now is the key.

Zhou Chang took a step forward with his hands behind his back, and a voice rang out.

"From this moment on, the three counties of Zhengyang, Beining, and Liaozhu will implement wartime orders."

"Minister of War Zhou Chang is dispatching from the capital."

"Pingyun Hou Xun Huo is in charge of the three counties and will temporarily serve as the military governor of the three counties until the war ends."

"The war in the three counties should be arranged by Marquis Pingyun."

"Also," Zhou Chang said calmly, "the royal family's tribute, Linglan King Ying Chongxiao, has arrived at Luyang Prefecture."

The light curtain dispersed.

Han Xiao and others stood in the stone house, unable to conceal the horror in their eyes.

Xun Huo, Marquis of Pingyun, was in charge of three counties.

Therefore, this Yulinwei Tongzhi, a high-ranking official of the Imperial City Military Department, had actually made arrangements long ago, and the Censor was just a cover.

King Ying Chongxiao of Linglan is a powerful member of the Qin royal family and the master of Dragon Elephant.

A hundred years ago, King Linglan had fought with Feng Hanning, the Grandmaster of Wei State who ranked eighth on the Grandmaster List. As a result, Feng Hanning passed away after returning to the sect, while King Linglan remained in seclusion until he heard news of him this time.

This person came specifically for Murong Zhao!

The court had already made arrangements.

At this moment, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A few people walked out of the stone house, and a group of soldiers came quickly.

"Luyang Prefecture Garrison Commander Qin Muyang led 30,000 garrison troops to Feiying Pass."

"The 40,000 Dragon Guards of Kuaiji are already a hundred miles away."

"Marquis Pingyun ordered the Grandmaster of the Gongfeng Hall, who is at the Xiantian realm, to go to Gubei City ahead of time."

"Please ask the honorific Lin Yutang to pass on the order that the military deployment in Gubei City will be under the control of the prefect Li Duanfang."

"In all battles, big or small, all military officers and generals shall obey the orders of Zhang Qingyang, the Lord of Qingyang County and the Black Armor Commander of Zhengyang County on the Black Ice Platform."

"King Ying Chongxiao of Linglan is already in Gubei City, ready to move."

……

Gubeicheng.

Princess Fengming had a look of doubt on her face as she followed the green-robed waiter out of the inn.

She lived in an inn in the city, and the person who came to invite her showed her a letter of royal status.

How could there be a royal family in Gubei City?

I left the posthouse and went to the teahouse nearby. However, due to the war, the teahouse was deserted.

The guards following Princess Fengming were stopped in front of the stairs to the second floor.

Princess Fengming went up to the second floor and saw a figure standing with his hands behind his back by the window sill in front of him.

"Nine, Grandpa Nine..."

Seeing that figure, Princess Fengming let out a low cry and instantly burst into tears.

The upright figure turned around and sighed softly.

"Okay, girl, I'm here, everything is fine."
