Chapter 184: Since it has appeared, erase it

The eastern part of Kyushu is vast and boundless.

The Sui, Yuan, Song, Ming, Liyang, Beimang and other countries were all entrenched here.

There are many countries, and conflicts are endless.

Various events are happening every day.

Like the previous Goguryeo, Baekchuan Castle, the Battle of Xiangyang, and Wang Yangming's ascension to sainthood.

All these events are attracting the attention of neighboring countries.

And now.

The entire eastern part of Kyushu seemed to have suddenly fallen into silence.

Of course, it wasn't really peaceful.

It is a brief calm before a violent storm.

Ming, Song, Liyang, Beimang, and other small countries and ethnic groups.

Everyone's eyes were focused on two areas.

One north, one south, one east, one west.

Like two rising eyes of a storm.

Of course, they are said to be two storms, but in fact they are one event.

To the north is the Yumen Pass of the Sui Dynasty, and to the south is Baichuan City in the territory of Beimang.

These are the two locations that various forces are paying attention to.

Because everyone knows it.

When the eye of the storm in Nanjing City continued to move northward and merged with the eye of the storm in Yumen Pass.

That was when Gao Changsheng set foot in the northwest region of the Sui Dynasty.

This is the moment when this shocking storm breaks out completely.

Of course, the protagonists of this turmoil were the Sui Dynasty and the Mongols.

To be specific, they are Gao Changsheng and Temujin.

It has nothing to do with other people or other forces.

Although the confrontation between the two armies cannot but affect other countries.

But that kind of impact will at least have to wait until the two sides decide the winner.

At least for now, they shouldn't worry about this situation.

But this is not the case.

At least, now the forces around Nanjing City, Liyang, Beimang, and Beiliang, are all in a state of fear.

After all, these forces all have grudges against Gao Changsheng.

Even before Gao Changsheng returned, Liyang Beimang was still using troops against him.

Of course they were worried that Gao Changsheng would not be able to control his anger and attack them.

In Nanjing city.

The mighty army has rolled out from the city gate.

Flying in front of the team is a striking military flag with high characters on it.

Ding Yanping, Luo Cheng and others have accepted Gao Changsheng's military order and returned to the Sui Dynasty first.

Following Gao Changsheng at this time were Li Shimin, Yang Xuangan, and Li Yaoshi.

The three were originally temporarily transferred from China for the defense of the six states.

Seriously speaking, these people are not under Gao Changsheng's command, and they should return after the fight.

But now, the three of them dared not have any objection.

Not to mention, Gao Changsheng now holds the King of Backers Order.

Just looking at Gao Changsheng's current appearance, they didn't dare to say anything to refuse.

None of them were fools, seeing Gao Changsheng's murderous look.

They had no doubt that as soon as the word "no" was uttered, their heads would be the first to be sacrificed.

In front of the army, Gao Changsheng took the lead.

There was no battle array, only one man, one sword, and a fluttering military flag.

This is not a normal marching formation.

It looks more like a charging formation.

Even if there is no momentum, just one look at it can make you feel the ultimate attack power that can erupt at any time.

Behind.

Yang Xuangan and the other two followed closely behind, and they looked at each other from time to time.

These three can be said to be the most outstanding among the rising generations of the Sui Dynasty.

They are all extremely smart people.

Before setting off, Gao Changsheng had almost stated his purpose.

Sacrifice flag.

Whatever sacrifice is used, it is undoubtedly the enemy's life.

But they didn't know what Gao Changsheng's goal was.

After all, it has been said before.

Almost all the forces existing around Nanjing today have a grudge against Gao Changsheng.

It's not surprising no matter who he attacks.

Even if we take a step back.

What is the current state of the Sui Dynasty and the Sui army?

That's a powder keg ready to explode.

Especially Gao Changsheng’s troops.

The general is the courage of the soldiers, and the commander is the soul of the soldiers.

Today, the troops in Nanjing City are like Gao Changsheng, a butcher's knife that has been drawn.

Not to mention the enemy forces with old grudges, even if there was no grudge between them, they would probably be crushed to pieces as long as Gao Changsheng gave the order.

And the way Gao Changsheng looked around before he set off was undoubtedly because he was looking for a target.

Beiliang in the west, Beimang in the north, and Liyang in the south.

It can be said that they were all cut into by Gao Changsheng's sword.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin and the other two couldn't help but look at each other.

Three goals, three directions.

In fact, Gao Changsheng doesn’t need to explain at all.

The four gates of Nanjing City.

If you want to attack Beiliang, you must send troops out from the two gates in the southwest, along the dragon's waist and the two states, and attack Beiliang directly from two routes.

To attack Li Yang, there is no doubt that the attack must be launched from the south gate.

And now, their army is setting out from the north gate.

The target to the north is, without a doubt, only Beimang.

What few people didn't expect was that Gao Changsheng would finally set his sights on Bei Mang.

But upon closer thought, it's not surprising.

Yumen Pass is located in the northwest of the Sui Dynasty.

That was their ultimate goal, so they had to go north no matter what.

It is of course easy to attack Liyang and Beiliang, but both places are south of Nanjing city.

The attacks on these two places must be reversed.

Of course, although they were thinking in their hearts, no one spoke out loud.

For the few people now, all they need to do is obey Gao Changsheng's orders.

"Report."

Just when a few people were thinking.

The scouts who were exploring the way ahead returned.

The three of them looked solemn.

The scouts returned at this time. Could it be that there was an enemy situation ahead?

Surrounding Nanjing City, to the west is Gusai Prefecture, north of Beiliang.

To the south is Longyao Prefecture, north of Youzhou, and to the east is Jinxi Prefecture, one of the two Jins.

To the north is the Tibing Mountains, which almost cuts the Northern Mang Mountains in half.

This time they did not march in the direction of due north.

Instead, it bypassed the eastern side of Tibing Mountain in the northeast direction and directly penetrated Xihe Prefecture of Beimang.

However, they did not encounter any trace of enemy troops along the way.

Of course, this is not surprising.

After all, the situation in Jiuzhou is obvious. Unless it is absolutely necessary, no other country will provoke them at this time.

But as their army of hundreds of thousands continued to advance, Beimang certainly could not turn a blind eye.

At the same time, the three of them raised their heads and looked at the scouts who were rushing towards them.

"Your Highness."

"Several Confucian scholars appeared on the march."

"They said that the area ahead is the Qijianyuefu area, which is a school, and should not be involved in war. They asked our army..."

The scout said nothing.

But what follows is already very obvious.

It's nothing more than asking them to take a detour or retreat.

Of course, although there seem to be two choices, there is actually only one option: withdraw.

After all, where they were at this moment, behind them was Nanjing City, and to the right facing south was Jinxi Prefecture, which was also Gao Changsheng's territory.

To the west is Tibing Mountain, which is not suitable for advancing.

"General, the front is Xihezhou, and Qijianyuefu is actually located on the border between Yuchanzhou and Xihezhou."

"The area ahead is at best just the outskirts of the academy, not even within the academy's boundaries."

Li Jing spoke in a deep voice.

Just one sentence of introduction has already pointed out the other party's purpose.

Bei Mang didn't want to fight them head-on, so he used this excuse.

After all, in a place like an academy for teaching and educating people, few people would deliberately use force unless it is necessary.

"In which direction is the headquarters of Qijian Yuefu?" Gao Changsheng asked calmly.

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, but responded quickly.

"Enter Xihezhou, and then go northwest for another thirty miles to reach Beimang Chess and Sword Music Palace."

Li Shimin suddenly looked up, as if he had realized Gao Changsheng's purpose, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

"Then keep going and head northwest."

An extremely cold voice fell down.

All three of them were shocked.

Obviously, they all understood what Gao Changsheng meant.

"Marshal, that is..."

Li Shimin exclaimed.

Even the audacious Yang Xuangan couldn't help but bar his teeth.

"Since it's popping up, just wipe it off."

Gao Changsheng spoke indifferently.

After saying that, he ignored them and just waved gently towards the back.

The army continued to advance, and its speed was undoubtedly much faster than before.

Li Shimin and Yang Xuangan looked at each other, and then swallowed at the same time.

"Gudong."

"General Gao."

"The front is an important place for education, and it is not suitable for war to be involved. General, please..."

Only a quarter of an hour passed as the army marched forward.

Then he met the Confucian scholar mentioned by the scout.

When several people saw Junrong's appearance, they spoke loudly at the same time.

But they didn't finish their words.

The moment he saw those people, Gao Changsheng slowly raised his right hand.

“Brush, brush, brush.”

Hundreds of arrows flew through the air. In just a moment, streaks of blood were splashed everywhere.

"Da da da."

Horse hooves.

Without any delay at all, it rolled along the avenue.

As for the bodies lying on the ground, no soldier cared.

"Gudong."

Li Shimin and Yang Xuangan swallowed again.

At this time they even suspected that Gao Changsheng was crazy.

Of course, neither Li Shimin nor Yang Xuangan were kind-hearted people.

Whether they kill one person, ten people, or even ten thousand or a hundred thousand people, neither of them would frown.

But the person who fell just now was different.

The academy and the students represent Confucianism.

Killing students and massacring the academy.

What a storm it will cause.

Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle.

"In fact, it's not that serious."

Just as the two were shocked, Li Jing spoke softly.

Hearing this, they both turned their heads at the same time.

"During this period, I have learned about the situation in Beimang. The situation in their country is different from that in many countries." Li Jing spoke slowly.

The three were transferred to provide support at the same time.

However, Li Shimin and Yang Xuangan were both warmongers who could not stand loneliness.

So he always led his troops to fight in the field with Wang Sui's troops.

Only Li Jing was in charge of the city defense, so he had time to study other things.

"Beimang is different from other countries. It integrated the spirit of the martial arts world into the imperial court a long time ago."

"Whether it's Taoism, Buddhism, or other sects, they are all under the fate of the country. In other words, except for some wandering people in the martial arts world, there is no pure sect in Beimang."

"The same is true for Confucianism and Taoism. Although the Chess and Swords Music Bureau is a school, it is actually more like an official training organization of the Northern Mang. Many court officials actually occupy a position in the Chess and Swords Music Bureau. For example, Hong Jingyan, who fell at the hands of the Marshal before, was a member of the Music Bureau."

"The entire Beimang is actually like a deformed war machine. No, it would be more appropriate to describe it as militarism."

"So, even if the Marshal takes action, it may cause some disturbances, but I think it should not be as serious as you two think."

"I see."

It dawned on them.

"Woo~~~"

Just as a few people were whispering.

A loud horn suddenly sounded.

Several people looked up at the same time.

Only then did they realize that the army had arrived at its destination.

Looking ahead, you can clearly see a huge building not far ahead.

There is no doubt that it is the Chess and Sword Music Bureau of Beimang.

At this time, Gao Changsheng had already raised his right hand.

The bugle sounded and the horses galloped out.

There was no hesitation or pause, and no greeting.

On the left and right sides, two cavalry units rushed out like a torrent.

Countless arrows were shot out from the central army, overwhelming the academy.

Looking up, one can clearly see the expressions of fear, horror, and disbelief on the faces of the students in the academy.

The three of them shook their heads at the same time.

Since Gao Changsheng had this idea, there would be no surprise at all in the ending of Chess and Sword Music Bureau.

Hundreds of thousands of troops.

Not to mention that there are no top masters in the Chess, Sword and Music Bureau.

Even a place like Liyang Shangyin Academy, where the Confucian saint Zhang Fuyao was in charge, could only be reduced to ashes.

"Da da da."

Just at this moment, another clear sound of horse hooves was heard.

The three of them suddenly woke up and turned their heads at the same time.

"Northern Wild Cavalry."

The sound came from the northwest.

To the northwest of this place is Yuchanzhou of Beimang.

This is already considered the core area of ​​Beimang, so of course there cannot be no garrison.

In fact, Qijian Yuefu is located on the border between Yuchanzhou and Xihezhou.

There are passes and garrisons on the northwest and northeast sides.

The entire academy seemed to be blocked outside the Great Wall by the two places.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of military strategy can see that this arrangement is designed to serve the purpose of war.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from the defensive pass of Yuchanzhou in the northwest.

"Is Beimang going to take the initiative to attack?" Yang Xuangan sneered.

"No, that cavalry did not advance. It looked like they were going to meet someone." Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Yang Xuangan took a closer look.

Sure enough, the number of cavalrymen leaving the city was not large, and after leaving the city, they quickly stopped in an area several hundred meters outside the pass and did not move forward again.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flew out from the academy and shot towards the northwest like lightning. That direction was where the cavalry was stationed.

"Northern Mang Peace Order."

Li Jing shouted.

He didn't know this person, but he was the only one who could get Beimang to send troops to support him and escape from the academy.

He is Beimang’s number one strategist, Beimang’s imperial teacher, and also the master of the Chess, Sword, and Music Bureau.

"No wonder." Li Shimin nodded softly.

Yang Xuangan pointed his hand into the distance.

"Look at that."

Hearing this, the two turned their heads again.

"That is……"

Then, the two of them exclaimed at the same time.

Because above the pass in front of Yuchanzhou, they suddenly saw a hint of golden color.

That is the outline of the ceremonial guard.

And in the entire Beimang, there is obviously only one person who can use a ceremonial guard of this color and scale.

"The Queen of Northern Mang actually led the army in person?"

"Since the Queen of Northern Mang is here, then Dong Zhuo and Tuoba Bodhisattva must be here too."

"Om."

Just as a few people were whispering.

Accompanied by a loud bang.

In the sky, a square formation suddenly appeared, like the dome of the sky, covering the Taiping Order.

Taiping Ling, who had flown out of the academy and had already separated from the attacking army, was suddenly suspended in mid-air as if an acupuncture point had been hit.

next moment.

A blood-red spear rose from the army and then suddenly turned horizontally.

He slashed straight at Taiping Ling, who had a terrified look on his face.

"Thorn."

Along with a tearing sound that made one's scalp tingle, blood rain began to pour down.

The same thing happened to the academy in the distance, which was completely shrouded in thick blood light.

"Li Shimin, Yang Xuangan."

"The end will be here."

Just as the blood was rising.

Gao Changsheng's cold voice sounded.

"I heard that both of you have built a cavalry."

"Let me take a look, and by the way, destroy the Northern Mang cavalry that came out of the pass."

"hiss……"

Even Li Shimin and Yang Xuangan took a deep breath at this moment.

It's not about how strong the cavalry is, it's about their position.

At this time, it was only a few hundred meters away from the pass.

At this time, the people on the pass included Tuoba Bodhisattva, Dong Zhuo, and the Queen of Beimang. One can imagine the power inside the pass at this time.

"What, you don't dare?"

"The general will obey the order."

"Boom, boom."

As the sound rang out, the sound of horse hooves followed.

"keep going."

At the moment the two men attacked, Gao Changsheng also waved his hand and gave orders at the same time.

"Stab it, sting it."

The sound of falling blades foreshadowed the massacre ahead of the pass.

On top of the city wall, every one of Beimang’s high-ranking officials had eyes as fiery as fire.

But no one took any action.

Because of Li Shimin and Yang Xuangan, behind the two armies.

The tall flag is slowly approaching.

"Return to the team."

As the army approached the city wall, the Beimang cavalry that had come out of the city to support them all fell.

Gao Changsheng raised his head indifferently.

His eyes swept across the city wall.

One can clearly see the golden imperial carriage, as well as Dong Zhuo and Tuoba Bodhisattva guarding the left and right sides like door gods.

"keep going."

After just a glance, Gao Changsheng retracted his gaze and waved behind him.

But after he finished speaking, Gao Changsheng seemed to remember something.

He turned his head suddenly, and the next moment, a sharp edge suddenly rose.

On the city wall, Tuoba Bodhisattva and Dong Zhuo were shocked at the same time. They took steps almost immediately and stood in front of the imperial carriage. Their true energy spread out and blocked in front of them like a city wall.

But to their surprise, when the sharp aura arrived, it suddenly turned into a breeze.

The two were startled at the same time, then they reacted quickly and turned their heads away immediately.

And in that direction, a golden flag slowly fell down in the eyes of everyone, and a second later, it suddenly exploded into pieces.

"keep going."

Turning his head, Gao Changsheng spoke coldly.

He no longer paid attention to the ruler and ministers of Beimang on the city wall.

Hundreds of thousands of troops marched slowly and arrogantly past the area less than a hundred meters in front of the city, as if they were not worried at all about a sudden attack from the Northern Mang.

At this moment, the three people following Gao Changsheng showed surprise at the same time.

They were not angry at the performance of the Beimang ruler and his ministers.

But the direction they are heading at this time.

Ahead is Xihe Prefecture, which is also the Beimang area.

But if Gao Changsheng's target is Beimang, then attacking Yuchanzhou is undoubtedly the most advantageous.

"If it's not Beimang, then it's not Xihezhou either."

"After passing Xihezhou, I'm afraid it can only be..."

"Da Song!"

The three of them looked at each other and had the same idea at the same time.
