Chapter 150-01: The oath of Luoshui must be fulfilled! (4K)

Guo Xiaoding single-handedly led a thousand enemies and slaughtered them all, which brought great shock to the players of Yancheng.

Especially at the end, when Guo Xiaoding walked into Yancheng with a Mo Dao in his hand and covered in blood, the players were shocked.

Very strong, very cool, and shocking, it creates the image of an invincible old general!
But in fact.

The old general was seriously injured. Forcing himself to use his military soul skills consumed his true energy. In addition, the old general was very old. After this incident, he would need at least half a year to recuperate. If he was forced to fight again, his life would be in danger.

"The old general bought me a winter. In such a short time, if I resort to any means necessary, I am sure I can gain a foothold in the northern border."

Chu Zhongxing's gaze moved from Guo Xiaoding to the sand table not far away. The sand table was centered on Yancheng, with countless flags planted around it, representing the densely packed barbarian enemies.

Yancheng Town has 30,000 soldiers in the Beibu Army. These soldiers are not only elite, but also powerful people who can govern the country.

Even with such a configuration, they were unable to defend the northern border. How could Chu Zhongxing possibly do it with his current abilities and the players under his command?

Three months later, at the beginning of next spring, even if the number of players exceeds ten thousand, there is a high probability that the city will be breached.

Yancheng is the last city of the Imperial Shang Dynasty in the northern border and the last line of defense for Guo Xiaoding and other Zhenbei troops.

Chu Zhongxing was very sure that even if he, as the commander-in-chief, ordered the white-haired soldiers of Yancheng to evacuate when the enemy broke into the city, they would not evacuate.

They will surely live and die with Yancheng.

Defend Yancheng!

The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army couldn't do it, and Chu Zhongxing couldn't do it either.

But losing Yancheng does not mean losing Northern Frontier. The players under Chu Zhongxing can be resurrected infinitely. For Chu Zhongxing, conquering Yancheng is nothing. As long as the resurrection pool is still there, Northern Frontier will not fall.

Chu Zhongxing, who has mastered the ability to build a nest, can build a new resurrection pool anywhere in the northern border.

This also means that as long as Chu Zhongxing is alive, the northern border will not fall.

"If you want to gain a foothold in the northern border, you must do whatever it takes. If necessary, you can even use Yancheng as bait to trap and kill the barbarian army."

"But it is impossible to let the white-haired soldiers of Yancheng abandon Yancheng. Besides, I am the commander-in-chief of Yancheng in name only, and these white-haired soldiers usually obey my orders, but..."

Chu Zhongxing shook his head slightly. After all, Guo Xiaoding had been with this group of gray-haired soldiers for more than 80 years. At critical moments, this group of gray-haired soldiers would rather obey Guo Xiaoding's orders than Chu Zhongxing's.

An army cannot have two voices.

Before the barbarians' attention was focused on Yancheng, Chu Zhongxing didn't care about it. No matter what Guo Xiaoding wanted to do or what orders he issued, he would not say anything.

But it’s not possible now. If Chu Zhongxing wants to gain a foothold in the northern border in just over three months, he must use any means necessary, including but not limited to using Yancheng as bait.

In this situation, Yancheng must have only one voice, and that can only be Chu Zhongxing's voice!
In Yancheng, his surname is Chu, and in Beijiang, his surname will also be Chu!
"Old General, I'm sorry. Although we both want to eliminate the barbarians and recover the northern border, our philosophies are different. I can only ask you to leave Yancheng."

Chu Zhongxing glanced at Guo Xiaoding. He and Guo Xiaoding had completely different ideas. If both of them stayed in Yancheng, conflicts would inevitably arise when the barbarian army attacked in the spring of next year.

Under such circumstances, Chu Zhongxing decided to ask the old general to leave Yancheng.

As for the reason
As early as several months ago, sufficient reasons had appeared in Yancheng.

After taking another deep look at the somewhat weak Guo Xiaoding, Chu Zhongxing set his sights on the players in Yancheng. Among the 464 players (Wen Lundeng had been banned), he looked around at the 13 new female players and assigned a task to a new female player [Yinyin].

[Trigger random task - care.]

The old general Guo Xiaoding defeated a thousand cavalrymen alone and consumed too much of his own energy, suffering serious injuries. The commander of Yancheng heard that you are good at caring and nursing, and would like to ask you to take care of General Guo.

Task requirements: Take care of General Guo Xiaoding physically, emotionally and in many other aspects.

Mission rewards: Yancheng contribution value, Yancheng merit value (rewarded according to the completion of the mission). 】

Yancheng, Huotouying.

Thousands of barbarians attacked outside the city, alarming the entire Yancheng. Hundreds of veterans of Yancheng gathered at the city wall, lined up and waited for orders. Only some soldiers of the Fire Head Camp remained unmoved. They calmly made fire and cooked, providing food for more than 600 people in Yancheng.

At this moment, Yin Yin is communicating with the white-haired soldiers of the Huotou Battalion, wanting to know more about their background stories and personalities.

Just when Yin Yin was calling the old man "Grandpa" all the time and making the white-haired soldiers of Huotou Camp confused, a task suddenly popped up in front of Yin Yin's eyes, a task to take care of the commander of Yancheng.

Yinyin is a plot-oriented person. She is not good at fighting and killing, but prefers to dig deep into the plot and character settings of the game.

But no matter what, Yin Yin is also a game player, so she naturally knows what random tasks mean.

Seeing that the task was so simple, Yin Yin took it without hesitation. Then she found an excuse and walked towards the general's mansion while the white-haired soldier of the Fire Camp reminded her again and again.

Huotouying was not far from the General's Mansion. In about ten minutes, Yinyin arrived at the General's Mansion.

"Yin Yin greets the commander-in-chief, and greets the general!"

This is a game with an ancient background. Entering the role-playing state and integrating into the game is the most basic requirement.

Yinyin understands this very well, but her etiquette is not standard.

"Enter!"

As Chu Zhongxing finished speaking, Yin Yin walked into the general's mansion with curiosity on her face.

The general's mansion was very simple and not luxurious. The young commander of Yancheng was standing in front of a sand table. A three-tailed fox was lying on his shoulder, staring at the sand table on the table with a frown.

Yancheng's main general, Guo Xiaoding, took off his heavy armor, looked weak, and sat on a chair with his eyes closed to rest.

After noticing Yin Yin coming in, Guo Xiaoding opened his only cloudy eyes, glanced at Yin Yin, and then closed his eyes to rest.

"Yinyin, General Guo suffered some internal injuries from fighting with thousands of cavalrymen. You must take good care of General Guo for the next period of time."

"promise!"

Yinyin bowed in response. Guo Xiaoding, who heard Chu Zhongxing's order, opened his cloudy eyes again and waved his hand to refuse:

"I just suffered some minor injuries, nothing serious, no need for care."

"Chu Shuai, let her do other things!"

"Don't be so stubborn, just take a good rest during this period of time, Yancheng has me!"

Chu Zhongxing politely rejected Guo Xiaoding. He looked at Yin Yin seriously and emphasized:
"Yinyin, you have to take good care of General Guo and chat with him more often. General Guo has dedicated his entire life to our Di Shang Dynasty and has no offspring so far. He is a true hero of our Di Shang Dynasty." Chu Zhongxing emphasized the news that Guo Xiaoding had no offspring. In the next period of time, he wanted to get Guo Xiaoding out of Yancheng and send him back to the Di Shang Dynasty.

But Chu Zhongxing was unsure of Guo Xiaoding's attitude. He didn't know whether Guo Xiaoding was willing to leave Yancheng and leave the northern border where he had lived for eighty-one years.

Therefore, Chu Zhongxing hoped that Yin Yin, the player who had confused the other white-haired soldiers in Yancheng, could also make Guo Xiaoding happy and make him willing to leave Yancheng.

"Yes, I will take good care of Grandpa Guo Xiaoding!"

"No"

Guo Xiaoding was about to refuse, but when he heard Yin Yin calling him grandpa, Guo Xiaoding swallowed the words back.

Guo Xiaoding, who had never experienced the joy of family life, for some reason, agreed to the call when he heard Yinyin calling him grandpa.

"You stay and talk to General Guo first. I'm going to collect the war horses!"

Seeing that Guo Xiaoding had given in, Chu Zhongxing strode out of the general's mansion.

After walking out of the general's mansion, Chu Zhongxing did not collect his warhorse, but turned and walked towards the angel Su Mu's room not far away. After arriving at the angel Su Mu's room, Chu Zhongxing first knocked on the door, and then pushed it open and entered.

"Angel!"

Chu Zhongxing bowed slightly. Su Mu, who was writing something, stood up and asked Chu Zhongxing: "General Chu, how is General Guo's injury?"

"I have consumed too much of my true energy. Plus, I am old. I need to rest for a while."

Chu Zhongxing said truthfully. He stood in Su Mu's room and stated his purpose directly: "Angel."

"I once swore by the Luo River that if the Yancheng Zhenbei Army has sufficient manpower one day, I will lead the troops to reinforce the emperor."

"I came here today just to fulfill this oath!"

"Fulfill the oath on Luoshui?"

Upon learning Chu Zhongxing's intention, Su Mu did not show a smile or joy on his face, but frowned:
"Master Chu, please forgive me for being blunt."

"Although I am concerned about the Emperor, I want to lead the Northern Guard Army back to Di Shang and reinforce the Emperor."

"But with Yancheng's current military strength, let alone reinforcing the Emperor, even returning to the Emperor Merchants is difficult to do!"

"How will you fulfill your vow?"

Chu Zhongxing sat opposite Su Mu. He tapped the table with his fingers and described the situation word by word: "You also know the current situation of Yancheng. Just now, thousands of barbarians attacked. If General Guo had not used all his strength to buy Yancheng a winter, Yancheng would probably be destroyed by the barbarians tomorrow."

"Yancheng is in imminent danger now. Only by concentrating all our efforts and fighting our way back to Dishang can we have a chance of survival!!"

"Barbarians, you are not giving us time. Now we can only fight our way out while it is cold in winter and the mountains are covered with snow!"

"Otherwise, come the spring of next year, all of us will have to stay in Northern Frontier forever!"

After saying this, Chu Zhongxing stood up and said, "I am here to fulfill my oath on Luoshui. I will mobilize all my soldiers to fight for the angel and escort her back to Dishang."

"As for how the angels make their choice."

Chu Zhongxing suddenly bowed in the direction of Luoshui of the Imperial Shang Dynasty: "I, Chu Zhongxing, will fulfill my oath and have a clear conscience!"

Chu Zhongxing's words made the angel Su Mu silent. When he first arrived in Yancheng, Su Mu did not want to stay in Yancheng, but the Zhenbei Army suffered too many casualties and could not even fight back to the Di Shang Dynasty.

But under the leadership of Chu Zhongxing, Yancheng's strength was constantly increasing. Su Mu saw it, and when he saw Chu Zhongxing swear an oath at Luoshui, he agreed to write the general outline of Confucianism and teach the soldiers under Chu Zhongxing to convert to the Gongyang School.

Firstly, he wanted to promote the Gongyang School, and secondly, he wanted to complete the emperor's order beautifully and lead the Yancheng Town Beijun back to Di Shang to assist the emperor, rather than going back alone in disgrace.

But now.
“This is God’s will!”

Su Mu sighed heavily. Just as he was about to say something, Chu Zhongxing suddenly stood up and took a step forward, speaking with righteousness:

“As the commander of Yancheng, Chu must live and die with Yancheng. Angel, there is no need to persuade me. My destiny is to die in battle in the Northern Frontier.

I hope the angel can lead my soldiers away from Yancheng and return to Di Shang.

The fall of the northern border is the fault of me, Chu, and has nothing to do with the soldiers under my command."

At this point, Chu Zhongxing imitated Su Mu and sighed heavily: “Angel, I want General Guo to bring the white-haired soldiers of Yancheng back to the Imperial Shang Dynasty with you.

I will let the soldiers under my command go first, serve as your vanguard, and follow you at your beck and call.

The white-haired soldiers of Yancheng will protect you and ensure the safety of the angel. "

"Master Chu is so young, yet he has such integrity. I admire him so much!!"

Seeing Chu Zhongxing so righteous and fearless of life and death, Su Mu was immediately in awe. When Yancheng was in danger, Chu Zhongxing actually gave the hope of life to him and the white-haired soldiers of Yancheng.

"Time waits for no one, angel. Please start packing your bags while I gather the horses outside the city first!"

"Tomorrow, I will begin to send my subordinates south to investigate the situation and find a way to return to the Imperial Merchant Dynasty!"

"When the heavy snow comes, it will be time for you, the angel, to return!"

Seeing that Su Mu agreed, Chu Zhongxing quickly told Su Mu about his opportunity. Guo Xiaoding brought three months to Yancheng, and Chu Zhongxing had to find a way to gain a foothold in the northern border within these three months.

The first step was to fulfill the oath he made at Luoshui and send Su Mu, Guo Xiaoding and the white-haired soldiers of Yancheng back to the Imperial Shang Dynasty.

There is only one voice in Yancheng, so Chu Zhongxing can use various means to deal with the barbarians of the 18 tribes in the northern border and gain a foothold in the northern border.

"Okay, I'll pack my luggage now."

After saying this, Su Mu seemed to remember something. He quickly turned around and went into his bedroom, then took out a book and handed it to Chu Zhongxing: "General Chu, this is the analysis of the magical powers of the Confucian Gongyang School. The soldiers under your command who have joined the Gongyang School can refer to the book and understand the magical powers of my Gongyang School on their own."

"The book contains my understanding and annotations of the Gongyang School's magical powers. It may help them comprehend the Gongyang School's magical powers faster!"

Comprehending magical powers is not a simple matter. Most of the players under Chu Zhongxing who have switched to the Gongyang School are still in the stage of comprehending the magical power of [Great Revenge].

As for the other magical powers of the Gongyang Sect, they had never even seen them.

Su Mu is going to return to the Imperial Shang Dynasty, and the Gongyang School will lose someone who can teach players to comprehend magical powers. But with Su Mu's book, although players will comprehend magical powers much more slowly, at least they will have a goal and will not be groping in the dark.
