Chapter 128 Let Xu Xiao come in person with the Snow Dragon Cavalry!
"Gao Changsheng? Gao Changsheng!"

Chu Lushan was instantly frightened and knew who was coming.

There is only one person in the world who can make Luo Cheng call him like this and show such an excited expression.

Gao Changsheng, the man who beat Beimang Liyang so hard that he couldn't even breathe, he is really here!

How could he come here?

Chu Lushan's eyes were full of fear, he couldn't figure it out.

You know, at this time, Gao Changsheng had just swept across the six states and captured the city of Nanjing.

This is an extremely critical moment for everyone.

Yes, Gao Changsheng annihilated hundreds of thousands of troops from both countries under the city of Baichuan, and his might shook the world.

But neither Beimang nor Liyang are without soldiers capable of fighting.

The four states of Beimang and the two states of Liyang are by no means dispensable lands. Everyone knows that the two countries will not give up easily.

Especially the Northern Mang, whose second capital, Nanjing, was taken away, which was equivalent to Luoyang of the Sui Dynasty.

For a big country, having its capital taken away is a huge humiliation.

At this time, Gao Changsheng was not in Nanjing.

You must know that there are still hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers capable of fighting in Beimang, as well as the two great kings, Dong Zhuo and Tuoba Bodhisattva.

Is Gao Changsheng really so confident that he can make the Northern Mang dare not move just by standing on a tall flag on the top of Nanjing City?

Where does he get his confidence and courage from?

Chu Lushan couldn't understand it and didn't dare to believe it.

But everything in front of him clearly told him one fact: the man was already in front of him.

"Oops!"

Chu Lushan exclaimed in his heart at the first moment.

If it was just Luo Cheng, he would have enough confidence to suppress the opponent with his military advantage and some psychological warfare.

But facing Gao Changsheng, he had no confidence, or there was no possibility of success at all.

When he first arrived in Beimang, he ignored the hundreds of thousands of troops and launched an attack brazenly, and finally won a complete victory.

Everything shows that this is a person who has no taboos and is invincible.

Not to mention him, even if Xu Xiao was here in person, he wouldn't be able to make the other party feel the slightest bit of fear.

His face was filled with fear, and his mind was spinning non-stop.

Chu Lushan was constantly thinking about how to solve the current crisis.

"Chu Lushan has met with Marshal Gao. Marshal, please listen to my explanation. I just had a ..."

"Ah... no... you dare..."

Chu Lushan's attitude suddenly changed, and the first thing he did was lower his head and lower his posture.

This is absolutely rare in Chu Lushan, or even unheard of.

In Beiliang, Chu Lushan has always been arrogant and looked down on everyone.

Although his cruel and violent character does not mean he kills anyone he sees, anyone who is targeted by him or makes him unhappy will never have a good ending.

I have never seen him being so humble and submissive before.

However, Chu Lushan did not get to finish his words. He had only said half of it when his face changed drastically and his voice became high-pitched with shock and anger.

Gao Changsheng didn't respond at all.

Or in other words, from the moment he first appeared and said that, the other party never thought of paying attention to him again.

He took action directly.

The horse's hooves didn't stop and rushed straight towards the border.

What was most frightening was the rising light of the knife.

Chu Lushan had never seen such a terrifying knife.

But to some extent, Chu Lushan is also worthy of pride.

This was the first time that Gao Changsheng used his sword after breaking through to the level of Grand Master.

Although it was not any sword moves or sword techniques, it was just an ordinary straight chop.

But it was definitely an honor for Chu Lushan.

Of course, Chu Lushan himself might not think so.

"boom!"

The cavalry is as fast as the wind and the sword light is like a river.

It swept past like a raging wave.

This time when Gao Changsheng went south, he also did not bring too many soldiers and horses.

Li Yuanba and the Eighteen Riders were still by his side, unshakable.

Compared with the number of cavalry on the opposite side, it is still far inferior.

But the situation at this moment is completely different from what it was just now.

The morale of the entire Northern Liang army was completely suppressed.

Even most of the cavalry didn't react at all.

When he raised his eyes again, the terrible attack had already landed on his head.

By the time they rose up to resist, the opposing cavalry had already broken into their formation.

Let me re-describe it.

At this time, the Northern Liang Army's formation was actually divided into two parts.

The first part was led by Chu Lushan and consisted of several hundred cavalrymen who confronted Luo Cheng.

In the rear were several thousand cavalrymen who came out to support from inside the pass.

The two forces did not merge.

After all, Chu Lushan never thought of fighting with Luo Cheng from the beginning to the end.

The reinforcements that came out from behind were just lined up a hundred meters away, responsible for putting pressure on Luo Cheng.

Of course, a distance of only a hundred meters is nothing to the cavalry, but it is a problem that can be solved by accelerating.

But no one expected that Gao Changsheng's attitude was so decisive, and he did not hesitate at all when he took action.

And the speed of action is so fast.

By the time everyone reacted, hundreds of riders in front had already fallen down like scarecrows.

The world-famous Beiliang cavalry actually gave people the illusion that they were made of paper.

And their commander, Chu Lushan, had been completely submerged in the sword light at this time.

After a loud roar, the eighteen scimitars were sheathed again, and the huge Leiguwujin hammer was also carried back on the shoulders.

All that was left was a pile of corpses and a figure wailing miserably.

It’s Chu Lushan, he is not dead yet.

But at this moment, he was no different from death. His two arms had completely disappeared, and his whole body was covered in blood. He could only lie on the ground and wail weakly.

Gao Changsheng ignored the fat man wailing on the ground. He just rode forward and slowly scanned the cavalry in front of him.

No one moved.

The five thousand elite Beiliang cavalry were completely intimidated and no one dared to make any unusual moves.

Many of them even slowly lowered their heads.

"hehe!"

Gao Changsheng chuckled and said, "Luo Cheng, I'll leave this person to you to deal with."

Of course, this was said by Chu Lushan, as he did not kill the man with the knife just now.

It's not that he had any concerns, but he simply thought that this man didn't deserve to die under his knife.

"Forget it, Brother Gao, I'm not interested in this person, you can do whatever you want with him."

Luo Cheng glanced at Chu Lushan casually and waved his hands repeatedly.

It is really refreshing to see the person who was showing off his power just now lying on the ground like a dead dog.

But with Luo Cheng's arrogance, he would not seek any sense of existence in Chu Lushan, who had become a useless man.

He just felt that he had to become stronger.

If he was strong enough, he could have gotten back the advantage on his own without having to rely on Gao Changsheng.

"what……"

At this time, Chu Lushan, who heard the two people's words, also raised his eyes and said with a ferocious look:
"Gao... Gao Changsheng, don't think that you are truly invincible just because you defeated the Beimang Liyang coalition."

"My Beiliang cavalry is the best in the world, and is absolutely not comparable to Beimang Liyang."

"You dare to cross the border and provoke me so wantonly, you are making an enemy of Beiliang."

"I, Beiliang's 300,000 Liangdao, will never give up just like that."

"Ha ha……"

Gao Changsheng chuckled again, and instead of looking at Chu Lushan, he raised his eyes again and looked across.

"Beiliang Cavalry? Do you want to continue fighting?"

These few words made thousands of cavalrymen tremble, and then they actually took a step back.

"ridiculous."

Gao Changsheng snorted lightly, and then looked at the person on the ground.

"You don't even have the qualifications to die in my hands."

"Since he has lost his hands, let's make it neat and cripple his legs as well and throw him back into their formation."

"Oh."

As soon as he finished speaking, a muffled sound was heard from the back. Even Gao Changsheng was stunned.

His original intention was to let the Eighteen Riders pick one person to attack, but he didn't expect that the one who spoke up was Li Yuanba. You know, Li Yuanba was using a hammer.

Sure enough, the next moment, a terrifying scream was heard in the field.

Under the Leiguweng Jinchui, Chu Lushan's legs were completely flattened, but they did not fall off, but were still hanging on his body like pieces of paper.

This scene is really terrifying.

"Take this man back and tell Xu Xiao that as the price of provocation, I want this land of Youzhou."

"If you want to fight, let Xu Xiao come with the Snow Dragon Riders!"

"Take Chu Lushan and get out."

"I will only give you three days. All Northern Liang troops must withdraw from Youzhou within three days."

"Remember, either withdraw from Youzhou or die in Youzhou. I only give you these two choices. Tell Xu Xiao this without changing your mind."

Looking at the cavalrymen fleeing in a panic, Luo Cheng rode forward.

Only at this moment did he truly feel Gao Changsheng's power.

With just a sword and a few words, he was able to scare the usually arrogant Beiliang cavalry so much that they dared not move.

This kind of demeanor is truly shocking and makes people surrender to it.

"Brother Gao, will Xu Xiao agree?"

Luo Cheng spoke softly.

Youzhou, that is not a dumpling or a steamed bun that can be thrown away just like that.

Even a big country like Liyang Beimang would feel the pain for a long time if it lost a state or county.

Not to mention, Beiliang is a local force.

You have to know that Beiliang has worked hard for a lifetime, but the territory under his command is only four states.

One Youzhou is already a quarter.

Moreover, among the four states of Beiliang, the most important and powerful are Youliang and Liang states.

It goes without saying that Liangzhou is the base camp, and Youzhou is located on the right side of Liangzhou. Not only is its strategic location important, but the resources within it are also a major support for Beiliang.

Once Youzhou is lost, it will not be as simple as losing an arm, it will completely cost Beiliang half of its life.

That's why Luo Cheng asked this.

And this question is reasonable.

Beiliang's Xu Xiao is also a military god-like figure who fought his way to the top with swords and guns.

Just by relying on his name, he can prevent Beimang Liyang from acting rashly and protect the safety of Beiliang.

For him, the Four States of Beiliang were the result of a lifetime of hard work. How could he give them up so easily?

Another important point is that Luo Cheng naturally knows the status of his own army better than outsiders.

After an unprecedented battle, they attacked back and forth and captured six states.

At this time, the army under Gao Changsheng's command was definitely quite tired, and the territory that had just been captured was not necessarily so stable.

If there really was a conflict with Beiliang at this time, or even a war, it would not be good news for them.

Everyone else understood the truth, so how could he not understand it? However, Gao Changsheng just waved his hand casually:
"Everyone knows that our army is not fit for another fight, and the land of the Six States is indeed unstable."

"But so what? If Xu Xiao really wants to fight, then I will fight with him."

"At worst, we can sink Beiliang."

"Even if I lose six states and destroy Gu Jiantang's 200,000 border troops, I can still return to Lingnan at any time."

"It's just a matter of resting and coming back again."

Luo Cheng opened his mouth. He was frightened by what Gao Changsheng described.

However, he also understood that it was just as Gao Changsheng said, their base has always been the Great Sui and Lingnan.

Even if the six states were really lost, Gao Changsheng would not necessarily feel the pain.

From this perspective, Gao Changsheng is indeed not afraid of fighting again.

Now it depends on what choice Xu Xiao will make.

Gao Changsheng also raised his eyes and looked towards the west.

He actually doesn't know the answer to this question.

If it was ten years ago, and Xu Xiao was ten years younger, Gao Changsheng could be sure that a great battle would be waiting for him.

But it’s different now. Xu Xiao is old, and Beiliang has many internal problems.

What he is thinking about now is how to pass on Beiliang, rather than rashly competing with others.

But having said that, even though the tiger is old, it is still a tiger after all.

No one can guarantee that Xu Xiao will not be provoked and lead his army out of Liangzhou.

Of course, in fact, Gao Changsheng did hope that Xu Xiao would take action.

Xu Xiao, the butcher who trampled on six kingdoms, is considered a big shot in the world.

For those who are into military affairs, being able to fight against such an opponent on the battlefield is definitely a dream come true.

Gao Changsheng naturally had expectations too.

After all, everyone knows that Xu Xiao is old and the possibility of him playing in the game is getting less and less.

Xiang Beimang or other people in Liyang might be grateful, or hope that Xu Xiao would become unable to move as soon as possible, or even die of old age sooner.

But Gao Changsheng really wanted to see Xu Xiao's style on the battlefield.

Especially the big snow dragon rider.

This is the real military soul unit.

Since his debut until now, Gao Changsheng has had more and more troops under his command, such as the Zuowuwei and the Liangliao Border Army, which are the elite among the elite.

Especially the 3,000 cavalrymen he brought along at the beginning, they already had a certain temperament.

But no matter which unit it is, there is still a thin line between awakening the military spirit.

And this line may be just a step that can be crossed at any time, or it may be the difference between heaven and earth that can trap them for a lifetime.

The military spirit is so mysterious. It seems to accumulate step by step, but the final transformation is more like idealistic metaphysics.

Although he had the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, the soul of the army, they were too special. Their structure and composition were different from all other armies.

It was for this reason that Gao Changsheng wanted to see the great snow dragon riders.

Moreover, he knew very well that only in Xu Xiao's hands could the Great Snow Dragon Riders be the real Great Snow Dragon Riders, and only when Xu Xiao was alive could the Great Snow Dragon Riders show their true style.

Once Xu Xiao dies, although the military spirit of this dragon knight will still be there, their spirit and vitality will definitely decline and will never return to their peak again.

If it was someone like Beimang Li Yang, they would certainly hope that the Great Snow Dragon Riders were as weak as possible, but Gao Changsheng was clearly an accident.

"call……"

Luo Cheng let out a breath and did not comment on Beiliang anymore. He also realized that Gao Changsheng obviously knew what was going on.

In that case, he just needs to follow and there is no need to think too much.

"By the way, Brother Gao, why did you suddenly go south?" Luo Cheng asked puzzledly.

Like Chu Lushan before, he didn't quite understand. From common sense, Gao Changsheng really shouldn't be here.

"Some things need to be handled in the south." Gao Changsheng waved his hand without elaborating.

"What about Nanjing City..." Luo Cheng asked softly.

"It doesn't matter. Since I have set up the commander's flag in Nanjing, I am telling Beimang that you can come and fight anytime you want."

"However, from the current perspective, they don't have the energy or courage to do so for the time being."

"With Brother Gao's current momentum, they really don't dare to launch an attack easily unless they are completely sure of the outcome."

Luo Cheng shook his head and smiled.

However, when it comes to war, there is never any guarantee of success or certain victory.

Just like this time, hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded the enemy from all sides, and it seemed like they were bound to win, but in the end they were all wiped out by Gao Changsheng in one battle. This is enough to show the uncertainty of the battle of military tactics.

"However, there is something that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible." Luo Cheng suddenly thought of something and spoke quickly.

"Now that our army has taken over the six states, it is very likely that we will be able to take over Youzhou again."

"It is not a long-term solution to rely solely on the army to control such a large territory."

Hearing this, Gao Changsheng nodded quickly.

Military suppression can certainly stabilize the situation, but it will also have negative effects over time.

If we want to achieve complete stability, we still need to send officials to govern.

When Gao Changsheng went south from Daxing, he was accompanied by troops but no civil officials to govern the area.

After all, he originally went to Lingnan, and Lingnan and Jiannan each had their own officials.

But it is different now. These six states have just been conquered, and some of the original officials have not fled and some have even surrendered.

But these places are different from the Sui Dynasty, and he can't use the original official system entirely.

Therefore, there are already a large number of official vacancies in various states and counties.

It is completely controlled by the army, but if time goes on for a long time, there will inevitably be chaos.

"Don't worry about this matter, it will be resolved in no time."

Gao Changsheng had already made arrangements for this matter.

You have to know that the Sui and Tang dynasties were one of the few periods in history when there was a great explosion of talent.

Even if he didn't draw from the imperial court, Gao Changsheng could put together several extremely outstanding civil and military teams based on his memory alone.

This is just the Sui Dynasty. If we look at other countries, or even those not too far away, just adding the surrounding countries like the Liyang Song Dynasty, Gao Changsheng's choices will increase dramatically again.

This is the advantage of time travel and a God's perspective. Perhaps because of the butterfly effect, the various plots have deviated greatly, causing him to lose a lot of foresight.

But this is not the case in this case. The talents that should appear will appear sooner or later. Changes in the world can erase other things, but they can never erase talent.
