In the south of Xiyun Province, in the area of Xijie City, there is heavy snowfall. Near the end of autumn, a sudden blizzard covered the entire area for thousands of miles around here, turning it a frosty white color.
Ren Bo led a group of people and galloped on the snow. He is riding a fine fourth-level wind riding horse and is also wrapped in a sixth-level fire bear skin. Therefore, when running at high speed, you will not feel any bumps at all. Even in the severe cold, I feel my body is warm.
Just running for five consecutive days and five nights, even with his cultivation as a Xuanwu Grandmaster, he was a little unbearable and felt a little tired.
And most of the reason why he suffered such suffering was because of his superior.
Zong Shou never returned to Tianshan City after he brought more than a thousand fully loaded ships to Hongcheng. He took Zongyuan and his men with him and flew all the way south. It only took him a day and a half to reach the army at the border of West Boundary City.
Take over directly and control all the military power in Xiyun Province. The next few days were nothing short of legendary.
Just rely on the 500,000 troops and horses at the border, plus the 300,000 vassal troops gathered from the surrounding areas. Directly sweep through the entire province to wipe out the Phantom Dragon completely. On the fifth day, another 150,000 fine cavalry were commanded to advance forward, directly crashing into Tianfang and Xiping Provinces where Taoyun City's power was deeply rooted. After five battles and five victories, Taoyun City, together with its vassal cities, and an army of nearly 3 million people were all defeated and torn to pieces. With the force of the wind and the remaining clouds, these two provinces and nearly 250 city-states were either forced to surrender or destroyed. Wherever the military front points, almost no one can reach it and it is invincible.
With a crazy offensive, it only took 19 days to wipe out all the three provinces of Taoyun City!
Ren Bo was planning to go there to report on the recent government affairs, as well as the harvest statistics of this Yunhai hunting, and the profit sharing among the various clans in the city.
initial destination. Haiyou is a large city in Xiping Province. The news they received when they set out was that Zong Shou was commanding the army and horses to attack Taoyun City's last stronghold in Xiping Province.
As a result, after arriving in two days and two nights, they found that the place had been conquered one day ago. In other words, Zong Shou only used the 40,000 cavalry troops who were with him at the time, plus the 400,000 troops from the vassal cities who had been forcibly 'recruited' along the way, or should be said to be coerced, to defeat this Wen Yun. The big city on the mainland was conquered. And calculate the time. It only took two days. I really don’t know how his lord did it.
When Ren Bo asked where Zong Shou was at this moment, he realized that Zong Shou had left in a hurry before the city was destroyed. After leaving Chai Yuan and Ling Fakong in charge, they turned to the north, heading towards Xiyun Province.
He made a big detour and traveled more than ten thousand miles in vain.
But in my heart, I didn't feel very annoyed, but rather a little happy. Stepping on the soil of another country. Looking at the generals of the cities scattered along the way, I felt filled with emotion in my heart.
The late emperor spent a whole year and a half, but failed to conquer the two provinces of Tianfang and Xiping. After the king succeeded to the throne, it only took a few months to incorporate it into the territory of Qiantian Mountain City. It is really gratifying that there will be successors to the king.
Run for a moment. Ren Bo's eyelids twitched slightly, and he saw dozens of figures standing in the snow not far away. They all stood erect in the cold wind, as if they were made of steel, motionless.
No need to get close. Ren Bo felt that the figure of the leader was extremely familiar. It's just that the Qi machine is different from what he remembered. The body stands upright like a javelin, showing its majesty and full of killing aura.
"Hu Zhongyuan?"
Ren Bo looked startled. In the past, he was pampered and idle. He seems to be mature, but in fact he is a man who is beautiful on the outside and has a lot of trouble on the inside. When did it become like this
After riding his horse forward and standing in front of Hu Zhongyuan, Ren Bo realized that this guy was indeed different. He is as bold and aggressive as his father Qianqiu! Although there was an obvious look of exhaustion on his face. But his back was still straight, and his eyes were full of energy.
"Looking at your situation, could it be that your realm is about to break through?"
Hu Zhongyuan chuckled, showing his sinister white teeth: "My old man always said I was useless, but my age at Hu Zhongyuan's breakthrough to the Xuanwu Sect was seven years earlier than him! It only takes seven days to break through! Follow me. Your Majesty, if he is slow to enter the country, won’t he be embarrassed?”
At this point, Hu Zhongyuan remembered the business: "In the army, he was commanding the army and couldn't get away. He ordered me to pick up the prime minister -"
Ren Bo nodded slightly and walked side by side with Hu Zhongyuan. Here you can faintly hear the cheers of the army in the distance, and you can't help but be slightly curious: "What's the situation over there?"
"The assembly was just completed this morning, and the Prime Minister is here, just in time to watch the show!"
Hu Zhongyuan was excited again when he heard this, and explained with excitement: "After your return two days ago, you commanded the army and wiped out more than ten rebel cities. This West Boundary City is the last one. Your Majesty has been waiting for two days. , gathered 200,000 people here, and invited all the city lords from the surrounding city-states. Plus the vassal troops and horses, there are 600,000 people-"
At this point, Ren Bo added for fear of misunderstanding: "Only the western boundary, I can capture the Tianshan Mountains with thirty to fifty thousand men. But your Majesty said that you want to use this western boundary city to establish your authority. What do you mean, kill the chicken to scare the monkeys?" , let these people with second thoughts see the military power of Qian Tianshan, and why it has been delayed until today!"
In this era, there was no word for killing chickens to scare monkeys, so although Hu Zhongyuan was barely literate, he half understood the word.
Ren Bo smiled, knowing Zong Shou's intention.
He knew that Zong Shou initially ignored all rebellions in the rear. Taking advantage of Yue Guanyun's death and the undecided public sentiment in Taoyun City, he led dozens of troops on foot and cavalry and brazenly invaded Huanlong Province.
Later, due to the rapid progress, the infantry was basically unable to reach them. Finally, when entering the other two provinces, only 150,000 cavalry troops were left. After that, they divided their troops one after another and captured various cities. As a result, the 800,000 soldiers were scattered in pieces across the vast areas of these three provinces.
Later, when Zong Shou returned, only about fifty riders were left to follow him. The troops and horses that captured the dozen rebel cities should be the hundreds of thousands of elites who originally followed the fleet to hunt under the sea of clouds. They were rushing almost non-stop, but in the end they only had time to join in the mopping up and take advantage of these rebels.
It was not easy for Zong Shou to gather 200,000 Qiantian soldiers nearby within two days.
While he was thinking, the outline of a large city in the distance appeared in his field of vision. As he rode the wind horse, it became increasingly clear.
It was a large city thirty feet high, seven miles long, and six miles wide. The surroundings are covered in silver, but here, the aura is so breathtaking.
I don’t know how many spiritual masters were used to make sure that there was no snowfall in the dozens of miles here.
According to Hu Zhongyuan, there were already 600,000 cavalrymen surrounding the city called the Western Boundary.
And at a glance, it was indeed murderous. Rows of neat soldiers were arrayed on the plains surrounding the city. There are also many cavalry troops mixed in. Most of them were placed on the nearby hills, and they seemed to feel the atmosphere of the approaching battle. All of the war horses were restless and kept tapping the ground with their hooves, making bursts of neighing.
Ren Bo, led by Hu Zhongyuan, passed through the barracks and arrived at the center of the army in a short time.
It is vaguely realized that these Heavenly Soldiers will be a little different from the past. The fighting spirit that had gradually dissipated since Zong Weiran's death has completely returned. It is still the iron army that can swallow thousands of miles like a tiger, is full of domineering, and is always victorious!
This discovery was even more surprising to him than Zong Shou, who had captured three provinces in a row.
However, when resisting the Chinese army, Ren Bo felt angry again. I saw a luxurious chariot pulled by eighteen pure white wind horses, parked on a hill.
The decoration of this car is extremely luxurious. It's all made of the finest purple-red dragon gold and dotted with jewels. The white gauze and snow tents hanging on all sides are also very elegant. It is made from 300-year-old silk. It can not only keep warm, but also resist arrows.
At this moment, Zong Shou was lying inside in a grand manner. Beside him were Ruoshui and Chuxue, both of whom were as beautiful as flowers and jade, kneeling docilely beside Zong Shou. By the way, the soft couch was also covered with a piece of animal skin.
Ren Bo had a keen eye and saw that this skin seemed to be taken from a seventh-level spirit beast on those cloud ships.
Even he was slightly jealous of Zong Shou at this moment. The beauty in the car is so enviable.
He was about to scold him, but when he got to the chariot, Ren Bo smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, is this a way for you to promote luxury and stimulate consumption?"
Zong Shou was originally staring at the Western Boundary City. When he heard this, he smiled and motioned Ren Bo to the driveway: "This is called sales. Didn't I open a blacksmith shop a while ago? I recruited dozens of spiritual blacksmiths. As a result, I haven't built a good weapon, but I have concocted a car like this for me. Today is just the day to show off in front of them. It will be easy to sell such a car in the future. Those guys are just worried about having nowhere to spend their money - "
Ren Bo was startled and thought, so this is the reason? It's quite novel. But in my heart, I still felt that I couldn't accept it. He knew that Zong Shou would not listen to advice, so he didn't bother to speak at the moment and boarded the luxurious chariot.
As soon as Fang stepped in, he felt that this car was indeed somewhat different. Not only does it keep the temperature constant like spring, it also calms the mind. In an instant, his mind became calm and gentle.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at Zong Shou carefully: "Is this car specially designed for spiritual masters?"
Zong Shou smiled but did not answer. The spiritual formation inside the chariot was indeed a classic design from three thousand years later. It was enough to support his newly opened forging shop for a while.
He temporarily handed over the management of this shop to Ruo Shui and Lian Fan. It doesn't matter whether you make money or not, as long as you can train enough spiritual trainers without losing money.
Ren Bo was only slightly surprised and didn't care. He then looked at the row of figures not far away from the chariot. It was the Lord of the Zhucheng Kingdom who was gathered here by Zong Shou! (To be continued)
