Chapter 316: Rise

Views:

Late July of the first year of Guangqi.

After receiving Yuchi Jin's letter of surrender, Yang Deng, the chieftain of Nanzhao, made a decision after a brief discussion with his left and right officials.

While Shi Long was leading his elite troops in the imperial city, Yang Deng secretly dispatched his generals Yang Long and Yang Hu to lead an elite force to attack Shi Long's lair, Jianchuan City.

How could Yang Deng let go of something that could cause a fire in Shi Long's backyard or even cause a serious loss of strength

Yang Deng's army disappeared into thin air, headed north, and quietly gathered near Jianchuan City.

That night, someone secretly opened the Jianchuan city gate and led Yang Deng's elite troops to quietly rush towards the Jianchuan military camp.

The people who were in charge of the response did a very good job. The arrow towers and patrolling soldiers on both sides of the military camp were all cleverly transferred away. The brothers Yang Long and Yang Hu traveled unhindered all the way until they reached the central military tent of the Jianchuan camp.

In the Jianchuan military camp, flames shot up into the sky and shouts of killing filled the air. Everywhere was the figure of Yang Dengjun, who was charging recklessly.

That night, the general of Jianchuan Town, Dong Tu, happened to stay overnight in the camp. Moreover, this guy remained true to his character and continued to visit prostitutes in the army.

Yang Deng's army, like a ghost army that suddenly emerged from the darkness, attacked the Jianchuan defenders unexpectedly.

Many soldiers lost their lives before they even got out of bed. For a moment, countless wails of death pierced the long night, rushed up into the sky, and were sent far away to the end of the long night.

Sporadic resistance could not stop Yang Deng's army's charge.

The overworked Jianchuan town commander Dong Tu was killed by Yang Long with a single blow before he could even climb up from the singing girl's belly.

After beheading Dong Tu, the Yang brothers were overjoyed. How could they not be excited to have accomplished their goal so easily

But just as they were about to expand their victory, six generals suddenly rushed out in front of them.

The leader was more than six feet tall, wearing silver armor and a silver helmet, with feathers on his head, holding a phoenix-feathered broadsword in his hand, and a dark iron whip on his waist. As soon as he showed up, he shouted, "Who are you, the rebel? How dare you attack our camp at night? Are you looking for death?"

Before he could finish his words, a phoenix-feathered sword, like a ray of aurora cutting through the pitch-black night, descended above Yang Long's head in an instant.

At the same time, next to the young general in silver armor, the fierce general with the square lion eyes, without saying a word, swung his halberd like a dragon, roaring in all directions, piercing through the heavy night sky, bringing out a strange mysterious light, and stabbed straight into Yang Hu's chest.

Those who come with evil intentions do not come, and those with good intentions do not come.

In addition, there was another general, who was as cunning as a snake. He swung the big iron spear in his hand, and immediately evolved a sky full of cold stars, and went straight to Yang Long's general. Next to the spear general, there was a general as ferocious as a tiger, swung the crescent-shaped sword in his hand, and chopped at Yang Hu's general like splitting mountains and seas.

The remaining two veterans were equally ferocious as tigers. They wielded the big swords in their hands and moved freely among the guards like chopping melons and vegetables. They were invincible and no one could survive who stood in their way.

With the sudden attack of six generals, countless brave soldiers in iron armor and wielding long swords jumped out and charged straight towards Yang Deng's army.

At a glance, you can find that these soldiers are not only extremely brave, but also very skilled. Each of them has outstanding skills and superb swordsmanship. When they rush to kill, the soldiers of Yang Long and Yang Hu are like lambs facing wolves.

Such skills, yet he was just a small soldier, shocked countless officers and soldiers of Yang Deng’s army. If they had such skills, they would at least be superior to Luo Ju.

Faced with this gang of villains, the attacking Yang Dengjun was in tears.

Even the main generals Yang Long and Yang Hu were so frightened and suspicious when they saw this scene. Could it be that they encountered the legendary ghost generals and evil soldiers

The Yang brothers' best general was killed first; then Yang Hu was pierced through the throat by Geng Yan's halberd and killed on the spot; when Yuchi Jin beheaded Yang Long with a sword, the morale of the attacking Yang Deng army was greatly disturbed, and they immediately wanted to escape from the camp and run for their lives.

The six generals killed the Yang brothers with ferocity like gods and demons, and then continued to rush into the invading enemy forces.

"How dare you invade my Jianchuan camp and bully me because there is no one in Jianchuan?"

"You are seeking death, you killed my comrades, so I will spare your life."

... ... .

Yuchi Jin and his group of six bravely resisted the oncoming Yang Deng army, and immediately bought a chance for other generals and countless soldiers of the Jianchuan army to catch their breath. After putting on their armor, many of them immediately rushed out of the camp and trapped Yang Deng's army that had rushed into the camp.

The war started quickly and ended just as quickly.

In less than an hour, none of the invading enemies escaped and they were all surrounded and killed in the camp.

After an inventory, the generals of Jianchuan who had gathered all looked grim and frightened. After this battle, more than ten mid-level officers such as Shanye and Danqiu were killed in the Jianchuan army, and the rest of the officers suffered heavy losses.

What made them even more ashamed was that the Jianchuan town general Dong Tu was killed. This bloody fact was undoubtedly like dozens of slaps in their faces.

How shameful and shocking it is to be attacked and killed at your doorstep.

When Yuchi Jin and his party returned from the battle and threw out the heads of Yang Long and Yang Hu, these veteran generals of Jianchuan finally knew who the invading enemies were. Yang Long and Yang Hu were both Yang Deng's personal generals.

After recognizing the identities of Yang Long and Yang Hu, everyone was certain that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy against Shi Long and the entire Jianchuan.

Looking at the generals with uncertain faces and shame and anger, Geng Yan, who was covered in blood and looked as ferocious as a demon, resolutely said: "Humph, we were attacked in our lair and the generals guarding the city were killed. You bunch of dead pigs, are you awake now?"

"If it weren't for Yuchi's drills, his carefulness, and his foresight, I don't think you would have had to get up."

Geng?m's words were blunt, but the generals didn't take them to heart. Following the voice, everyone looked at Yuchi Jin with gratitude.

Yuchi Jin was also dressed in military uniform and covered in blood. When he saw everyone looking at him, he was neither surprised nor happy, but his face was cold and solemn.

"There must be something fishy going on here, otherwise how could Yang Deng's men sneak into Jianchuan City and even reach the main camp?" A general spoke up and raised questions.

"I'm afraid there is an accomplice of Yang Deng in Jianchuan City. This matter must be investigated. If I know who that person is, I will definitely skin him alive." Someone echoed.

... ...

Just as everyone was talking in a flurry of indignation, Geng Yan snorted again and said with a bad face, "It's useless to talk about this now. The most urgent thing is to elect a new commander to calm people's hearts."

"Yes, if there is no wise, brave, agile and courageous general to command such a huge Jianchuan City, we will be taken advantage of by Yang Deng sooner or later. I, Han Xun, support Yuchi Lianxi to be the general." Geng Yan brought up the topic, and Han Xun immediately agreed and directly proposed that Yuchi Jin take the position.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals from Jianchuan who had gathered together couldn't help but look at Yuchi Jin.

Yang Deng's army suddenly attacked Jianchuan. If Yuchi Jin had not suddenly jumped up and led his troops to stop Yang Long and Yang Hu, the consequences would have been absolutely disastrous.

Dong Tu died. All the generals, including the ones with the highest military ranks, were just conducting exercises. Yuchi Jin had just saved everyone's lives. Han Xun was moved and others did not find it abrupt.

What's more, Yuchi Jin was an instructor and a person admired by Shi Long. He also turned the tide in this incident and saved the lives of countless soldiers. Even if some people were unwilling to accept this, they would not speak out on the spot.

You can't be jumping up and down and playing tricks on someone just after he saved your life. Not to mention whether you will feel good about it in your heart, how will other people look at you if they hear it

The life-saving grace forced those who wanted to doubt to suppress their little thoughts. Such a situation was already expected by Yuchi Jin.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Geng?m jumped out and said: "Yuchi's exercise turned the tide. Fortunately, he saw the opportunity early, otherwise we don't know how many people can survive. I, Geng?m, support Yuchi's exercise to become the town's general."

"If Yuchi Xiuzhen is chosen to be the general, I, Han Xun, will serve him with my life." Han Xun agreed with a firm face.

Geng Xin and Han Xun were both Yuchi Jin's men. When the others said this, although they felt annoyed, they did not dare to speak rashly. Yuchi Jin turned the tide and saved countless lives. His contribution tonight not only saved the Jianchuan Army, but also stabilized Shi Long's rear. His contribution was immeasurable, and who dared to comment on it

However, no matter where or when, there are always some people who forget their principles for the sake of profit. Such people only remember their own gains and losses, and never remember the favors of others. Now, a harsh and abrupt questioning voice suddenly sounded: "I think the most urgent task is to find out how Yang Long and Yang Hu got into Jianchuan City."

"Besides, even if we want to nominate a general, it won't be the turn of a young man with mediocre qualifications, right?"

Following the sound, everyone looked and saw a figure over six feet tall, with a face full of flesh and a body like a buffalo. When they saw this person, some people who were scheming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as this person spoke, it would be difficult for Yuchi Jin to take the position, because he was Shi Mijia, the nephew of Shi Long.

It is true that Yuchi Jin is a person appreciated by Shi Long, but he is an outsider after all. Shi Mijia is Shi Long's nephew. If it comes to taking the position, Shi Mijia is obviously more legitimate than Yuchi Jin.

Before Shi Mijia finished speaking, Geng Yum walked towards him without waiting for Yuchi Jin to speak. Before he even got close to him, he stared at him with his scarlet lion eyes and asked him coldly, "Shi Yanzhen, where were you when Yang Deng's bandit army attacked the camp at night?"

The furious and cold aura of the eternal killer general was not something a mere Semiaga could resist. Hearing Geng?m's question, Semiaga's face flushed and he remained speechless.

His tent was far away from the camp gate, even behind the general's tent. Yang Deng's army entered the camp and started killing people. At that time, he was probably still chatting with Zhou Gong.

Geng Yan seemed to have him figured out. He continued, "After the rebels secretly killed Dong Tu's general and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder the camp, where was Shi Yan?"

"When he killed the thief general, did Shi Yanxi stand up?"

... ...

Geng Yan's rapid-fire questioning left Shi Mijia speechless and his face reddened; the other generals were filled with shame and hung their heads in silence.

At this moment, Geng Yan suddenly changed the subject and said bluntly: "If Shi Yan is replaced as the general, I think it would be better for everyone to retire."

"Like Shi Yanxi, the enemy army invaded the camp, and he was still in the meeting with Zhou Gong. If he becomes a military commander, I'm afraid that in the future, we will have the chance to fall asleep but not the chance to wake up."

Geng?m's words were harsh to hear, but his logic was sound. Even those who were loyal to Shakti became hesitant after hearing his words.

General Yang Deng sneaked into Jianchuan without anyone noticing and raided their camp. Who can guarantee that there won't be a next time

If one loses his life in the future because of a momentary dispute over loyalty, it would be a great loss. Thinking of this, countless generals couldn't help but look at Yuchi Jin again.

It was this young trainer who foresaw the situation and killed the enemy general, thus saving their lives.

As a soldier, at a time when the entire Nanzhao was in a turbulent period, abandoning a general who was both wise and brave, agile and courageous, and instead supporting a second-generation rich man to take the throne, what else could this be but wishing for one's own life

With this idea in mind, generals, you will make your own choices.

"I support Yuchi's exercise. Although I am not afraid of death, I don't want to die in vain."

“I support the Yuchi exercise.”

"If it weren't for Yuchi's exercise to guard Jianchuan, I, Xia Luopi, would be the first one to be unwilling."

... ...

All of a sudden, the number of people supporting Yuchi Jin increased enthusiastically, and in an instant the number exceeded 70%.

As for Shi Mijia and his gang, they had long been forgotten. It was true that he was Shi Long's nephew, but Shi Long was not dead now. They selected generals for Shi Long's rear support. Who would care about the face of a second-generation rich kid

However, Geng Xin, Han Xun and others have already kept Shi Mijia in mind. This person must be eliminated, otherwise he will definitely hinder Yuchi Jin's major plans.
