Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Originally, Ying Zheng was planning to take civil and military officials to see Su Xuan off, but after Su Xuan's persuasion, he gave up this plan.

The core of blitzkrieg is to catch the enemy by surprise. If you make a big show of it and make it known to the public, the enemy will be prepared. If you want to achieve the same results, you will have to spend several times more effort.

So during this month, in addition to mobilizing food and fodder, the army also rushed to Wusui in batches.

Meng Tian, ​​Meng Wu, Nei Shiteng, Wang Jian and his party have already gone to the front line.

Meng Wu and his son and Nei Shi Teng followed Su Xuan to Wusui to participate in the war to destroy Han, while Wang Jian led the elite troops of the Lantian camp to Dongjun to attack Lingyuan, Puyang, and Yanshi cities.

After bidding farewell to the Snow Girl and her group, Su Xuan mounted his own exclusive mount, the White Phoenix, and headed for Wusui with Yan Fei, the Moon Goddess, and the Black and White Shao Siming.

When they saw the White Phoenix, Yan Fei and her companions were all surprised.

Birds of such large size are rare.

Several people lightly tapped their toes, flew into the air, and landed on the back of the white phoenix.

As the white phoenix spreads its wings and flies high, the vast mountains and rivers come into view, which is a breathtaking beauty.

"Fei Yan, what are you doing?" Su Xuan curiously touched the golden wings that stretched out from behind Fei Yan. He was stunned when he felt the real touch. Isn't this thing made of true Qi? Why does it feel like the real thing?

Feiyan felt as if an electric current was running through her body. Her originally fair face became bright and juicy, and her body became slightly weak. It was because of her high level of cultivation that she did not make a fool of herself in public.

She looked at Su Xuan with some resentment, as if saying that he shouldn't do such a thing in public.

Thinking that Su Xuan didn't know much about all this, she couldn't bear to get angry, so she explained, "What I just performed was the Yin-Yang School's secret technique, Soul Swimming Dragon, which can release the energy of a swimming dragon and transform into the appearance of a three-legged golden crow."

"Although the wings behind me just now were transformed from the dragon's aura, they are actually no different from my body." There was actually one more thing she didn't say, which was that the transformed wings were more sensitive than other parts of the body.

"Then why doesn't the Moon Goddess have wings behind her?" Su Xuan asked his question.

“Because the three-legged golden crow is the symbol of the sun god, it will naturally manifest when I perform the soul-connected dragon swim. And the jade rabbit is the symbol of the moon god. When junior sister performs the soul-connected dragon swim, the external signs are not obvious.” Fei Yan answered seriously.

Su Xuan looked at the Moon Goddess's Jade Rabbit and understood instantly.

This thing is exposed and visible, how can it be tolerated?

The Moon Goddess took a deep breath and remained calm, but the rise and fall of her chest represented her inner unrest.

This is also the reason why she was jealous of Feiyan and always wanted to surpass her.

Not to mention anything else, just the vision revealed by the use of Hun Xi Long You made her more gorgeous, more noble, and more respected than herself.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. In every aspect, she is better than me, leaving me unable to hold my head up. Now, if I am a little careless, she will almost overtake me.

What’s even more infuriating is that she and Su Xuan did all these intimate actions in front of him.

Is she trying to tell myself that no matter what I do, I can't defeat her?

She gritted her teeth and clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves.

The dragon's aura is manifested. No matter who says it, she can also manifest wings. What her senior sister can do, she can also do it, and she can even do it better than her senior sister!

"If Your Excellency the Prime Minister is interested in Hun Xi Long You, we can discuss it with each other when we arrive at the Wusui military camp." Moon Goddess said meaningfully.

Feiyan looked puzzled when she heard this. Can't we discuss it now? Why do we have to wait until we get to Wusui's camp?

Su Xuan glanced at the Moon Goddess's crystal teeth meaningfully, then smiled and nodded.

Yue Shen's face blushed slightly. The moment their eyes met, she knew that Su Xuan understood the deep meaning of her words. When she thought that she had made an appointment with Su Xuan in front of Fei Yan, but she knew nothing about it, she felt a different kind of excitement and stimulation in her heart.

Bai Feng looked at the three people who were "flirting" and curled her lips in disdain.

Because not only Su Xuan, but even Mo Ya, became a pair with Ying Ge. One time when he went to find Mo Ya, the two were chatting enthusiastically, which made him drop his jaw.

He was a little confused. Isn't it good to be free? Why do you have to find a woman?

He thought so, but when he saw them being intimate with others, he felt a little envious.

Mo Ya said that he was in love, but he retorted that with his handsome face, as long as he showed a little interest, girls pursuing him would line up from the south to the north of the city.

Upon hearing this, Mo Ya laughed out loud and said that he was still a chick and only six of his seven orifices were open. He told him that if he truly loved someone, there would be no room for other women in his eyes.

He naturally didn't believe it. A woman? She would only slow him down. What was the point of having one?

He, Bai Feng, is a phoenix flying through the heaven and earth. How could he let a woman bind him?

He snorted coldly inwardly, and controlled the White Phoenix to move at lightning speed, a few points faster than before.

After a short while, Su Xuan and his party arrived at the Wusui border army camp.

As Meng Tian and his group stared in amazement, Su Xuan descended from the sky with his clothes fluttering.

Everyone looked at the huge black shadow above their heads and felt that something was wrong. How could there be such a huge bird in this world?

Nei Shi Teng saw this scene and took out his notebook to record, "On May 23, the eighth year of Qin Wangzheng, Prime Minister Su Xuan rode a divine beast to the Wusui military camp, wearing a unicorn armor, flowing cloud boots, and a jade and glass crown on his head. He descended gracefully, like a banished immortal from the world."

"Meng Wu, Meng Tian, ​​Nei Shi Teng, greet the Prime Minister." The three of them bowed in greeting.

Su Xuan nodded slightly, then asked, "How are the preparations going?"

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, tens of thousands of soldiers in the Wusui military camp are ready to go. As soon as your Excellency the Prime Minister gives the order, they will lead the army to attack Han." Meng Wu replied.

"Order the three armies to attack Nanyang." Su Xuan gave the order directly and decisively.

Namyang, the base of the Korean royal family, is of self-evident importance. Once it is conquered, Korea will be in name only, which will deal the greatest blow to the morale of Korea.

The number of troops he led this time was not large, only 50,000. The Nanyang garrison, with recent reinforcements, had nearly 100,000, but Su Xuan didn't think it was a big deal.

The quality of soldiers is more important than their quantity. A large number of soldiers may seem powerful, but if they are just a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers and form a trend of defeat, it will be an irreversible defeat!

In ancient wars, if the casualties exceeded 20%, the soldiers would lose the will to fight again and would be defeated. But Su Xuan was confident that his army would fight to the death even if the casualty rate reached 40%.

Because retreating means death, the Qin law is not just talk.

For most of them, there are only two choices: either to move forward courageously and carve out a bright future, or to die on the battlefield. As for those who retire, only very few do.

Under Meng Wu's call, the 50,000 Qin troops were quickly ready.

Among them, 30,000 soldiers were the Pingyang Heavy Armored Army that was originally stationed here. They were elite troops that had been on many battles.

The father and son of the Meng family brought 10,000 golden fire cavalry and 10,000 elite soldiers from the Lishan camp.

Fifty thousand Qin soldiers were lined up in neat rows, all wearing black armor and holding sharp weapons. They looked solemn and majestic, as if a dangerous mountain top was lying before their eyes, making people feel as if it was difficult to breathe.

This momentum made Su Xuan inexplicably think of two lines of poetry by the Tang Dynasty poet Li He.

The black cloud was pressing down on the city and the city was about to be destroyed, and Jiaguang opened golden scales to the sun.

The only difference is that they are the attacking party and the enemy is the defending party.

Su Xuan specially had a high platform built so that all the soldiers could see him. He held a loud speaker and said loudly, "My fellow soldiers, perhaps most of you don't know me, but it doesn't matter. I came here today on the orders of the king to lead you to achieve great things."

"The bravery of the old Qin people is known to the world. You are all true heroes." Su Xuan first praised them, and then said, "I believe you all know Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an. In the past, the Marquis of Wu'an was a god in military operations. He was invincible among the six states of Shandong. How glorious was that?"

The spirits of many soldiers present were lifted, and some veterans even showed expressions of nostalgia.

"Wu Anjun is indeed remarkable, but what I want to tell you is that what you are going to do now is something even more remarkable than Wu Anjun."

Everyone was intrigued by Su Xuan and listened attentively.

"What we have to do is to destroy the six kingdoms and accomplish what Wu Anjun never accomplished."

"What we are going to do is something that no one in the world dares to even think about."

"When I came here from Xianyang, the officials in the court discussed how long it would take to destroy Han. Some said one year, some said two years, and some said three years. I told them that the men of Qin are all truly brave and skilled fighters. Han is only a few counties. If we use years as a unit, wouldn't that be a slap in your face?"

The soldiers present nodded in agreement. They were all experienced warriors. How could it be so difficult for them to face South Korea, the weakest of the six countries?

"The officials in the court don't believe you, but the King of Qin and I do. How long do you think it will take to conquer South Korea?" Su Xuan glanced at the soldiers present and raised a finger. "I tell the King of Qin that we only need one month to complete the war of annihilation!"

"Now, you know what we are going to do, right?" Su Xuan opened his arms, his voice seemed to carry magic, "What we are going to do is to create a historic feat, a battle that will go down in history. Everyone present here will be remembered in the annals of history."

"Your achievements will be praised by future generations, and your feats will be admired by countless old Qin people. If we can accomplish something that everyone thinks is impossible, you might as well think about it, what will it be like?"

The old Qin people present felt their blood boiling. They were brave and warlike, and all of them were hawks. Su Xuan's madness and the picture he painted really touched their hearts.

"Today, history is written by you." Su Yu said excitedly, "Let us work together to accomplish this unprecedented and unparalleled feat!"

"Color! Color! Color!"

Su Xuan's pre-war mobilization was greeted with cheers from the soldiers present.

The terrifying momentum soared into the sky, and it seemed that even the clouds were shattered. Looking at the high morale, Su Xuan thought that it was just that the system could not check their current status, otherwise there must be a buff.

Chapter 182 Scouts of the Two Armies

An area of ​​dozens of miles on the Nanyang front line.

A team of three scouts lay in ambush in the dense grass.

Ji Fei is the captain of the three. Although he has just arrived in Wusui, the other two are convinced by his superb archery skills and strict discipline.

The other two were named Erniu and Houkui.

Erniu has an honest look and has been dealing with scouts on the Nanyang border for many years, so he knows the terrain like the back of his hand.

Hou Kui is thin and crouches in the grass. If you don't look carefully, you can't see him at all. He is a first-class assassin who often sneaks up behind enemy scouts and cuts their throats.

"I'm sure you all saw the attack signal flares that lit up in the sky just now?" Ji Fei's eyes were sharp. He held the telescope and looked straight ahead.

Several miles away, several Korean scouts were hiding in the bushes.

"I'm really dying of suffocation. I've been waiting for so long, and now it's finally time to take action!" Erniu looked excited. He felt that his sword was beginning to become thirsty.

"Hehe, let's get rid of them all at once today." Hou Kui sneered. With the telescope and several days of crouching, they had already figured out the location of the enemy scouts.

The reason why we didn't take any action before was because we were afraid of alerting the enemy. Now that the commander has ordered a full-scale attack, we naturally have to get rid of them all.

Anyone who doesn’t want the military merit that is within his reach is a fool!

"Do it!" Ji Fei gave the order cleanly and neatly, with an eager look in his eyes. It was a good opportunity to try out his latest archery skills on them!

With the enemy in the open and us in the dark, they easily got behind the Korean scouts.

There are a total of five Korean scouts here, arranged separately and standing in careful positions. Once something happens to one of them, the other four will quickly notice that something is wrong.

It was obvious that this was a team of elite scouts.

Ji Fei raised his lips, and became even more excited. Elite? They were killing the elite!

Before they knew it, they had crept to a position fifty meters away from the Korean scouts. Ji Fei gave combat orders with gestures, then began to draw his bows and arrows, and the three of them acted separately.

Hou Kui sneaked up behind an enemy, covered his mouth, and touched his neck silently.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, four sounds of breaking through the air rang out almost at the same time. Ji Fei shot four arrows in succession, killing the three enemies.

Why shoot four arrows? Because one of them was shot by Ji Fei to test the results of his recent hard training of the Wind Chasing Arc Arrow. Even if it failed, the other arrow could still kill the enemy.

Erniu was a burly man, holding two axes in his hands. He ran like a chariot, and with great force he struck the enemy scout, directly chopping off his head.

In fact, before the three formed a team, he was more violent and often chopped the enemies in half, but because of the bloody smell, it was not conducive to subsequent actions, so Ji Fei strictly prohibited him from doing so.

But in just a few moments, all the Korean scouts in a stronghold were eliminated by the three of them.

Ji Fei looked at the successfully executed Wind-Chasing Arc Arrow and nodded with satisfaction.

Erniu looked at the beheaded enemy soldiers and grinned, feeling very happy.

The rest who were not beheaded were all stabbed with the same knife.

"A Fei, your archery skills have some twists?" Hou Kui's eyes widened. It was okay to shoot an arrow through a hundred steps, but wasn't it a bit outrageous that there were some twists in the archery?

"I have to thank the Prime Minister!" Ji Fei looked grateful. If it weren't for the Prime Minister's generosity in writing down the essence of archery without reservation, he would not have been able to learn the Wind-Chasing Arc Arrow so quickly.

Of course, not everyone can learn the Wind-Chasing Arc Arrow. He was able to learn the Wind-Chasing Arc Arrow after going through several rounds of tests. Only after he met the requirements was he allowed to read it.

The reason he was able to learn so quickly was, on the one hand, his natural talent, and on the other hand, his family background and the fact that he had been hunting since childhood.

His ancestor was Ji Chang, a famous archer in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was so skilled in archery that he could shoot lice as if they were shooting horses.

As a descendant of the Ji family, he inherited the archery skills of his ancestors. He practiced hard since he was young and spent several years to lay a solid foundation. Now, he can see the smallest details and stare at one object for a long time without blinking.

His father named him Ji Fei so that he would remember the lessons of his ancestors and not be arrogant. He should always know that there are always people better than you.

He was a little unconvinced at first, thinking that no one of his peers could have such archery skills as him. However, not long after joining the army, he was amazed by the archery skills displayed by Su Xuan. What was even more rare was that he taught this invaluable archery skill to all the archers without reservation.

Such broad-mindedness and courage convinced him.

"I heard that this time it is the Prime Minister who will command the three armies." Hou Kui smiled. Although he had never seen Su Xuan, he was able to invent the telescope, so he deserved to be supported by all the scouts!

"Where do you think the armory got these things from?" Erniu asked casually while holding a telescope. "I heard that a siege weapon called the Giant Stone Cannon was recently delivered. It is extremely powerful and can reach a range of half a mile. If hundreds of Giant Stone Cannons are delivered and fired at the same time, it will probably be like a natural disaster! No matter how strong the Nanyang city is, I am afraid it will be broken through!"

Erniu had seen the power of the stone cannon with his own eyes. When it hit the ground, it could create a pit several meters deep. He couldn't imagine what the effect would be if it hit a person.

Moreover, he had heard a rumor in the army that this time, huge stones had been prepared enough for continuous attack for half a month. If the defenders of Nanyang held on, people would be sent to throw huge stones day and night to defeat their morale and make them dare not show their heads. The amount of stones prepared was aimed at destroying the city.
