The Sacred Ding

Yao Xing

In 79 years of benefit Celestial Emperor, the vagrant chaos that lasted for nearly ten years showed signs of complete cessation, but this year is destined to not be calm. In April, the Crown Prince won Dan and led the Tiger Ben Army to capture Songdu Mountain. At the same time, Hexi brazenly sent troops to attack Hechuanling, a major town in the northern part of the Hexiang Army.

Hexi’s iron cavalry attacked Hechuanling with the opportunity of Qin Muhou Dongshou leading the Hexiqin Wangjun to leave Qintong Mountain and return to Hexi.

The Heyang Qing Suppression War came to a gradual end in February. The kings of the counties and Qin army fought in Heyang, Lichuan, Jiyang and other places for many years. Although they did not directly make great achievements, they had dozens of battles. The existence of a total of more than 500,000 Qin King Jingrui’s battle strength severely squeezed the Black Yan Army’s living and activity space, and finally led to the Black Yan Army’s major collapse in Heyang County.

In February, the remnants of the Black Yan Army retreated to the Wild Goose Sect County, relying on the Tiger and Ben Army to be sure of annihilation, the Qin Kings of the counties also withdrew from the Heyang battlefield one after another, Dong Shou rate 40,000 Hexi The iron cavalry retreated to Maywood Fort in Gyeonggi for a short rest. Together with the hundreds of Hexi children who went to Yenching to participate in the Xuegong Election last year, they crossed the Qintong mountain range and entered Tianshui County.

According to the established plan, Dong Shou led the Shiwan Hexi Tieqi to borrow the road from Tianshui County. It should go northwest and be able to return to Hexi all the way. However, after leaving Qintong Mountain, Dong Shou led the department Along the Qinshui River, which exits from the southwestern foothills of Qintong Mountain in the east, travels westward, attacking Shining, an important town in the eastern part of Hechuan County.

Shining is located in the middle reaches of Qin Shui River and at the southeast foot of Hechuan Ridge.

And Qin Shui converges on the Guanjiang River which flows down from the southeast foot of Hechuan Ridge, flows all the way to the west, and finally merges into Hechuan Lake in Hechuan County, which has a radius of eight hundred miles.

Hechuan Lake gathers the Water Element from Helan Mountain and Hechuanling Mountains. It is the largest freshwater lake in the Western Northern Domain. It is also the richest piece of land in the Western Northern Domain that this Hechuan Lake bred. After the Hexiang Army lost the land north of Hechuanling, the territory still has a population of more than 25 million.

The area controlled by Hexi extends from Weijiangfu in the north of Taiwei mountain range in the north, to the northern foot of Hechuanling in the south, intersects Tianshui County in the east, and Tieliuling in the west, which is Hechuan County. Three times as much as the population, but the population is still less than 40 million.

To capture Hechuanling, Hexi can truly be called the overlord of the Western Northern Domain, and can truly lay the foundation for dominating Yanzhou.

After Qin Muhou and Dong Shou captured Shining, the whole area of ​​Hechuan County was shaken. However, Dong Shou’s intention was not to attract the main force of Hexiang army, but to control Shining’s throat. To prevent the main force of the Musashi Army from advancing westward along the Qin Shui River to strengthen Hechuan.

Qingshui exits the southeast foot of the Qintong mountain range and passes through the central part of Qinchuan County controlled by the Musashi Army. It is the fastest way for the Musashi Army to reinforce Hechuan.

Occupy Shining, the Musashi army cannot take the Qinhe waterway. After the army of hundreds of thousands is assembled, they will have to climb over the mountains to the south of Qin Shui. It is destined to delay 3-4 months.

After Qin Muhou and Dongshou captured Shining, the 400,000 elites of Hexi gathered at the southern foot of Yulong Mountain and nearly a million people gathered from Yulong and other places brazenly headed south, like an ancient torrent. Generally, go to the Hechuan Ridge.

In the early years, when Chen Hai accompanied his uncle Chen Lie in Yulong Camp, the city of Chishan captured by surprise attack became the most important forward base for Hexi to capture Hechuanling.

Not only did Dong Chou, the elder son, go to Chishan City to direct the battle, but also the martial god Hou Dongliang, together with Chen Jun, Du Yu, Chai Zhongkai and many other core figures in the middle and late Dao Pill realms, rushed to Chi Shancheng sits in town, personally staring at this battle that determines the future fate of Hexi.

Chen Lie no longer holds the post of general, but as a well-known figure in the third-generation dísciple of Taiweizong, before deciding the important battle of Taiweizong and the fate of Hexi, he is also impossible to stay at Qiyunya with peace of mind closed -door cultivation, this time I also went to Chishan City to watch the battle as an attendant of Wuwei Shenhou.

Seven years ago, Chishan City was only a small town between Hechuanling and Yulong Mountain. It was not very prominent. It was not more outstanding than other seventy-eighty castles. At that time, the county chief was in charge of local public security. Shuang, he didn’t even set up a Spirit Realm cultivation base, his name is unknown, and at this time he is the Si Cheng of Jingjue Captain Mansion.

Chen Hai led more than a hundred Kou Nu soldiers to the south tower of Qilongchi Mountain City, and sealed tens of thousands of collapsed soldiers in Chishan City. Finally, with the cooperation of Li Xianghai and the others led by the cavalry, except for the prisoners. In addition to 10,000 prisoners of war, they also intercepted a large number of clan forces that fled north and south of Chishan City, forcing them to throw them to Hexi after the war. At this time, it became an important component of Hexi’s attack on Hechuanling.

After the war, Chishan City became one of the three major cities on the defense line of Hexi’s confrontation with the Hexiang Army. In addition to the old city that was originally embedded in the valley, it was also located in the south of seven-eight li. Outside the open terrain, a new arc-shaped city wall that blends with the mountains on both sides is built.

The city wall is built with black sandstone, poured the molten iron into the gaps between the city rocks, and welded the city wall 20 meters high and 20 meters thick. In the middle, an arrow tower drilled into a defensive array is inserted every five hundred steps to ensure that the entire city wall is as strong as a mountain, and the area of ​​Chishan City is therefore more than ten times larger.

Chen Lie entered Chishan City, and he could still see the cliffs on both sides leaving the Gushan Dao seal he practiced with his own hands, and he was filled with emotion.

Hundreds of thousands of generals, two 300,000 conscripts of auxiliary soldiers, civilian heroes, tens of thousands of war horses and larger-scale carts and horses, piles of grain and grass, all gathered in Chishan City , Even if the area of ​​Chishan City was expanded more than ten times, it still seemed crowded and noisy at this time.

Chen Zhangli was the son of Zhaoyang Pavilion Hou’s Mansion. At this time, he served as a lieutenant in the rear army camp. He knew that his adoptive father Chen Lie and Chen Qing and the others entered Chishan City with the Wuwei Shenhou. Come over to meet on leave.

The city earlier was used as an inner city. At this time, Wuwei Shenhou, Shizi, and 20,000 Taoist yamen were used as a yard.

In the yard arranged for Chen Lie to live in, Chen Zhang also saw Chen’s Old Ancestor Chen Jun and Chen’s master Chen Zhiyi, as well as Sun Quanzong, Dong Pan, Xie Quanting and the others as guests in the yard. Chat with adoptive father Chen Lie.

This battle is related to the future destiny of Hexi. Taiweizong summoned all the dísciples outside to participate in the battle as much as possible, and Sun Quanzong will come back. It is not difficult to imagine, but Liquan and Yanjing need someone Staring, Chen Zhang was still a little surprised to see Xie Quanting and Dong Pan appearing in Chishan City at the same time.

In front of Old Ancestor Chen Jun, Chen Zhang didn’t have much room to speak, and he was only with the last seat to listen to the instructions, but from the conversation between Old Ancestor Chen Jun and the master Chen Zhiyi and his adoptive father Chen Lie, When Old Ancestor came this time, he still hoped that Chen Lie would come out to take up the post.

Chen Hai has completely taken refuge in the eunuchs, gained Heaven Sealing opportunity and mastered one of the three major battalions of the Su Wei Army. At the same time, he was able to completely draw a line with Hexi and the Chen clan. Since Chen Lie has decided Staying in Hexi and Taiweizong, Wuwei Shenhou and Shizi also believed in his loyalty to Hexi. Chen Lie is one of Hexi’s most outstanding generals, whether it is a personal cultivation base, military management, or personal reputation. He has been idle forever, which is also a loss for Hexi.

Chen Lie declined Old Ancestor’s personal lobbying. He only said that he would go back to Taiwei Mountain to continue the closed-door cultivation after the war. He did not consider other considerations before he became Dao Pill. .

Old Ancestor Chen Jun saw that Chen Lie’s heart had been determined and he stopped saying anything, so he left with Chen Zhiyi and the others. Chen Zhang stayed and talked to his adoptive father Chen Lie about his post in the army. , So he left and returned to his post.

Coming out of the yard where his adoptive father Chen Lie lived, Chen Zhang met Dong Pan and didn’t know where he came from. He stopped him and said that the son of the world had a call.

Hexi doesn’t know how many middle and low-level generals like Chen Zhang have, and not everyone has the opportunity to accept the summons of Dong Chou. Chen Zhang didn’t know what was going on. He was expectant and worried and walked with Dong Pan’s ancestor, Dong Chou’s camp.

Walking into the chamber, I saw the son Dong Chouzheng and Sun Quanzong sitting and talking, Chen Zhang and Dong Pan were waiting under the eaves outside the hall. It seems that Dong Chou, the son Dong Chou, doesn’t mind others hearing it. What he and Sun Quanzong were talking about, Chen Zhang could clearly hear the conversation in the hall.

“I just watched Chen Lie’s breath far and deep, giving people a sense of Yuanhe’s depth. Listening to the Master, this should be the spirit of the middle and high grade Qingyundan will become, and future achievements may be in my Above…”

When Sun Quanzong said this, Chen Zhang was also shocked and delighted.

Although Dao Pill may be Chen Zhang’s dream goal in this life, he still knows that Dao Pill is in seven colors, except for the legendary Golden Core, the avenue of Yanzhou Xuanxiu who has not been able to cultivate success so far. , High grade Zidan is almost necessary to achieve Dao Foundation.

Of course, it’s not that whoever enters the Dao Pill realm will have the opportunity to become a high grade purple pill. However, after entering Dao Pill, Dao Pill still has two opportunities to improve on the Third Transformation. Only after being able to cultivate into a purple pill, will he have the opportunity to cultivate into a Taoist corpse.

If the adoptive father Chen Lie stepped into the Dao Pill realm at the beginning, he would be able to cultivate into the second only to purple pill, which means that the probability of the adoptive father Chen Lie to cultivate into the Dao Pill in the future will be too low. The first Elders are taller.

In Taiweizong, at the highest level in Hexi, cultivation realm and potential are the core factors that determine a person’s status.

Regardless of whether the adoptive father Chen Lie will come out in the future, no one will be able to shake his position in the Chen clan. At this time, Chen Zhang, who is in perplexity and panic, is undoubtedly great. good news.

Sun Quanzong talked with the son for a while, then left, and Chen Zhang followed Dong Pan to see the son.

When Chen Zhang came in, Dong Chou put down the dossier he was reviewing, and asked straight to the point: “Elder Sun said that you are in the army of King Qin, and Yu Zhijun has some insights and is brave. In combat, it’s a pity to stay in the rear army at this time. I want to transfer you to the Dao Yabing. What do you think?”

The Dao Yabing is an elite battle strength built by the mighty gods. He is also a guard soldier of the General Mansion of Hexi Prefecture. Hexi’s main generals have almost all experience serving in Daoya soldiers; Chen Zhang wants to get a real promotion and will have the opportunity to stand alone in Hexi in the future and enter Daoya. Military service is also a necessary resume.

Chen Zhang can know that there is such an opportunity in front of him, which must be related to the breakthrough of his adoptive father Chen Lie, but knowing that he will have the opportunity to perform in front of the son and even the gods in the future, he still kows his head in gratitude.
