You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Chapter 209: Great Victory in Northern Frontier
The morning sun rises.

Outside the north city of Zhen.

The camp of the Northern Barbarian army.

The sounds of fighting that had resounded all night gradually subsided as dawn broke, and silence returned.

At this moment, the Northern Di army camp was littered with corpses and severed limbs, and the pungent smell of blood could be faintly detected throughout Zhenbei City.

Lu Bu walked through the camp, looking at the bloody scene on the ground, but his face remained completely expressionless.

The bloodstains on that suit of armor looked particularly eerie under the morning sun.

In last night's battle, Lü Bu killed countless Northern Di tribesmen.

Both the halberd in Lü Bu's hand and the armor on his body were stained red with blood.

This is enough to prove that countless foreign tribes died at Lü Bu's hands last night.

Indeed, that was the case. In last night's battle, Lü Bu was like a demon unleashed. After killing the Northern Di national advisor and the Northern Di commander, he went on a rampage, slaughtering the Northern Di tribes.

Countless Northern Di tribesmen died under Lü Bu's halberd.

It was precisely because of Lü Bu's massive attack that the last line of defense in the hearts of the Northern Di tribes was completely destroyed last night, and the Northern Di army camp was breached.

Of course, although Lü Bu broke through the camp of the Northern Di army and annihilated the Northern Di army, he also suffered considerable losses himself.

Leaving aside the losses of the Zhenbei Army, the casualties of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry alone were considerable.

Even with Lu Bu, the fierce tiger, leading the charge and the military spirit of the army, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry still suffered half of their casualties.

This shows how fierce the battle was last night.

"General, all the Northern Di barbarians who are still breathing have been killed, and the entire camp has been wiped out of the Northern Di barbarians."

At this moment, Hao Meng walked over and said to Lü Bu.

Hao Meng's face was pale, her armor was stained with blood, and her body was covered in wounds.

After last night's battle, of the Zhenbei Army generals who led the attack on the Northern Di army camp from all sides, only Hao Meng is still standing here.

Of the other three generals, two were killed in battle and one was seriously wounded.

Upon hearing this, Lü Bu glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground, and without saying a word, he mounted his horse. "The rest of the business here is up to you."

"I will lead my army to take advantage of the situation and wipe out the other Northern Di tribes. I estimate that Cao Xing and his men will not be able to hold out for much longer."

Lu Bu said to Hao Meng.

Although Lü Bu annihilated the Northern Di army of Mohe in last night's battle.

However, after the Northern Di army broke through Yanmen Pass, many troops were scattered and attacked various cities in the northern frontier in different directions.

Many cities in the northern frontier had been breached by the northern barbarian tribes and were being plundered by them.

Lü Bu wanted to continue leading his troops to exterminate these northern barbarian tribes.

Furthermore, Cao Xing and Hou Cheng were still leading the Zhenbei Army to block the northern Di detachments from Jiuyuan and Mayi, and Lü Bu also needed to rush to their aid as soon as possible.

"As ordered."

Hao Meng clasped his hands in acceptance of the order.

Lu Bu said no more, flicked his whip, and led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry away from the military camp.

This time, Lü Bu not only brought the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, but also all the capable cavalrymen from the Zhenbei Army.

The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry suffered more than half its casualties in last night's battle, leaving them short of manpower. Lü Bu had no choice but to bring along the remaining cavalry of the Zhenbei Army.

Watching Lü Bu leave with his cavalry, Hao Meng directed the Zhenbei Army to clean up the battlefield.

……

Luoyang, the capital of China.

After news of the great victory in Xiliang spread, the people in Luoyang, who were in turmoil, felt much more at ease for the time being.

On this day, a fast horseman rushed into the gates of Luoyang.

"Urgent dispatch."

"A great victory in the northern frontier."

"In the Battle of Zhenbei City, General Lü annihilated 200,000 Northern Di troops and killed the Northern Di commander-in-chief Mohe and the Northern Di national teacher in battle."

The rider shouted as he spurred his horse and galloped toward the palace.

……

what?
A major victory in northern Xinjiang?

General Lü annihilated the 200,000-strong Northern Di army and killed the Northern Di's commander-in-chief and national advisor.
Upon hearing the messenger's loud shout, the surrounding people all began to discuss it with joy.

The people already knew that the foreign tribes had attacked and breached the three passes of Yumen, Yanmen, and Nanmen in succession.

The people were worried that the Great Zhou Dynasty might not be able to withstand the combined attack from three sides by the foreign tribes.

After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty has just experienced considerable turmoil. The Grand Tutor was killed in battle, and the Divine Martial Guard suffered heavy casualties, resulting in a significant loss of the Great Zhou's overall strength.

In addition, with the Great Zhou Dynasty in decline, the people were afraid that the Great Zhou would not be able to withstand the joint attack of foreign tribes.

If that were the case, and foreign tribes invaded from the south, it would be the common people who would suffer.

But who would have thought that first a great victory came from Xiliang, and then another victory came from the northern frontier by urgent dispatch.

This made the people very happy.

"General Lü is truly remarkable. First, he quelled the rebellion in the four northern provinces, and now he has annihilated the Northern Di army, killing their national advisor and commander-in-chief. This is truly gratifying!"

"Yes! With General Lü here, our Great Zhou no longer needs to fear foreign invaders."

"General Zhang of Xiliang is also formidable. He wiped out the Western Rong bandits. Otherwise, Xiliang would have been in grave danger."

"Indeed, with Generals Lü Bu and Zhang Liao here, if any foreign tribes dare to invade our Great Zhou again, they will be courting death."

The people were all talking about it with happy expressions.

The Great Zhou Dynasty won a great victory and annihilated the invading foreign tribes, which was good news for everyone in the Great Zhou.

soon.

News of the great victory in northern Xinjiang spread quickly.

From ordinary people to nobles and court officials, everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this news.

Many court officials, who had been on edge, felt much more at ease after hearing the news of the great victory in the northern frontier.

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon throne, looking at some news presented by the Eastern Depot.

Because of the invasion of foreign tribes and the outbreak of border wars, the people in the Great Zhou were restless and uneasy.

The Eastern Depot, acting as the eyes and ears of Emperor Zhou Chen, monitored every corner of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, the Eastern Depot received a lot of news every day.

Of course, most of the news was about the situation on the frontier.

"Urgent dispatch."

"A great victory in the northern frontier."

At that moment, a loud shout rang out into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

A moment of effort.

A figure rushed into the Hall of Mental Cultivation without any hindrance.

"His Majesty."

"A great victory in the northern frontier."

"In the battle outside Zhenbei City, General Lü annihilated 200,000 Northern Di troops and killed the Northern Di commander Mohe and the Northern Di national teacher in battle."

"This is General Lü's good news."

After the messenger rushed into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he knelt on the ground, holding an urgent letter that traveled 800 li, and shouted loudly.

Zhou Chen put down the message in his hand, looked up at the messenger, and said, "Bring it here."

Cao Shaoqin, who was standing nearby, immediately went down, took the report of victory, and presented it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen took the victory report from Cao Shaoqin, opened it, and began to read it.

Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged throughout.

It wasn't that Zhou Chen could remain unfazed by the news of the great victory in the Northern Frontier, but rather that he had already learned of it from the messages sent by the Eastern Depot.

The Eastern Depot's hawks were much faster than the express messengers that traveled 800 li.

After reading the victory report in his hand, Zhou Chen looked up at the kneeling messenger below and asked, "Where is the head of the Northern Barbarian Grand Preceptor?"

"Did you bring it back for me?"

Zhou Chen looked at the messenger and asked, "Your Majesty, I have brought back the head of the Northern Barbarian Grand Preceptor."

"Right now, right outside the palace."

"That's what the messenger said."

The urgent message wasn't just about delivering good news; the messenger also brought back the head of the Northern Barbarian national teacher to Luoyang.

This was Zhou Chen's explicit decree, which required him to see the head of the Northern Barbarian National Preceptor.

Therefore, after killing the Northern Di national teacher, Lü Bu collected the Northern Di national teacher's head and sent it back to Luoyang along with the victory report by a messenger.

"Bring me the head of the Northern Barbarian National Preceptor."

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Shaoqin and said.

Cao Shaoqin immediately waved to one of the eunuchs and guards inside the hall.

The eunuch understood and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the blink of an eye.

The eunuch, carrying a box in both hands, entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Inside the box was a bloody human head, the very head of the Northern Di national teacher.

Zhou Chen got up and walked down, glanced at the bloody head in the box, and said coldly, "The Northern Barbarian traitors not only invaded the borders of our Great Zhou, but also broke their promise and killed a loyal general of our Great Zhou. They truly deserve to die."

"Once I have the time, the first thing I will do is to eliminate these Northern Barbarian traitors."

As Zhou Chen spoke, he returned to the dragon throne.

"Cao Shaoqin, you personally deliver the head of the Northern Barbarian National Preceptor to the Marquis of Weiwu's residence."

"Marquis Weiwu died fighting on the frontier for my Great Zhou. The head of the Northern Di National Preceptor is the offering I make to Marquis Weiwu."

After Zhou Chen sat down, he looked at Cao Shaoqin and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Shaoqin bowed and accepted the order, then left the Hall of Mental Cultivation with the head of the Northern Barbarian National Preceptor.

"You should go and rest too!"

Zhou Chen waved to the messenger.

The messenger rose and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After the messenger left, Zhou Chen pondered deeply.

Now that the armies of the Western Rong and Northern Di who invaded the Great Zhou have been annihilated, only the Southern Man and Eastern Yi remain.

A few days ago, Zhou Chen had also received news that the Dongyi had invaded Dongyan Pass.

However, the Marquis of Donghuang personally guarded Dongyan Pass, temporarily blocking the Dongyi's offensive and preventing them from breaching the pass.

However, the battle at Dongyan Pass was extremely fierce.

In the past few days, Zhou Chen has been able to learn about the battle at Dongyan Pass from the news sent up by the Eastern Depot every day.

Zhou Chen knew that although Dongyan Pass had temporarily blocked the Dongyi's offensive, the situation there was still far from optimistic.

Most importantly, the Eastern Barbarians have not yet dispatched their half-step Celestial Master to assassinate the generals of the Eastern Wilderness Army.

If the Eastern Barbarians send their half-step Celestial Master to assassinate the generals of the Eastern Wilderness Army, then Dongyan Pass will be in danger.

Zhou Chen's eyes flickered.

Right now, Zhou Chen's biggest worry is the situation at Dongyan Pass.

With Zhou Yu in charge in the southern border region, Zhou Chen has already made arrangements. Even if the Southern Barbarians send out their priests, they won't be able to gain any advantage.

But the Eastern Wilderness is different; there is no powerful figure who can stop the Eastern Barbarian National Preceptor.

……

Just as Zhou Chen was thinking about the situation at Dongyan Pass.

Donghuang.

Dongyan Pass.

At this time, war raged across the land, and the sounds of battle shook the heavens.

Wave after wave of Dongyi barbarians stormed the gate walls.

The Eastern Wilderness Army soldiers on the gate were fighting desperately.

Corpses fell one after another, whether they were from the Eastern Yi tribes or the Eastern Wilderness Army; the bodies were scattered all over the ground inside and outside the pass.

“You barbarian tribes of the East, how dare you offend my Great Zhou! You shall die!”

Above the wall, a refined yet domineering figure was engaged in a fierce battle with a general from the Eastern Yi.

This refined yet domineering figure was none other than the Marquis of the Eastern Wilderness, who guarded the Eastern Wilderness.

He was also the local tyrant of the Eastern Wilderness.

"Lord of the Eastern Wilderness, the Northern Di, Western Rong, and Southern Man have now breached the three passes of the Great Zhou: Yanmen, Yumen, and Nanmen."

"The Great Zhou is already unstoppable in the face of our combined attack from all four sides. Why are you so determined to fight to the death with the Eastern Wilderness and risk your life for the Great Zhou?"

"Do you, Marquis of Donghuang, really think this is worth it?"

"Your status as Marquis of Donghuang is special, and my Dongyi are unwilling to kill you. I urge you to reconsider my previous suggestion."

The general of Dongyi shouted loudly as he fought a fierce battle with the Marquis of Donghuang.

"Bullshit, you Eastern barbarian scoundrel, stop spreading your heresies."

"No matter what, I am still the Marquis of the Eastern Wilderness of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if I have some opinions about the court, I will never secretly collude with you Eastern Barbarian traitors."

"If you want to enter the Eastern Wilderness, you should first ask if the 300,000 Eastern Wilderness troops behind me agree."

As the Marquis of Donghuang spoke, his attacks became even more ferocious.

A long spear, like a serpent spitting mist, attacked the general of the Eastern Barbarians.

"puff."

Before the Dongyi general could speak again, the spear in the hand of the Marquis of Donghuang struck the Dongyi general in a bizarre manner.

The Dongyi general spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and crashed down below the gate wall.

Seeing that the general of the Eastern Yi had been knocked off the wall by the Marquis of Donghuang, the pride and morale of the Eastern Yi attacking army plummeted.

woo woo woo...

At that moment, the sound of bugles rang out.

Upon hearing the bugle call, the Dongyi army attacking Dongyan Pass retreated like a receding tide.

Marquis Donghuang put away his spear and landed on the city wall. Watching the retreating Dongyi army, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Dongyi's frenzied attacks have continued for several days.

Although the Marquis of Donghuang repelled the Dongyi's attacks each time, the Donghuang army also suffered heavy casualties.

Marquis Donghuang was genuinely afraid that he wouldn't be able to defend Dongyan Pass and that it would be breached by the Dongyi.

"My lord, the Eastern Barbarian bandits are attacking too fiercely, and our Eastern Wilderness army has suffered many casualties."

"This can't go on. Shouldn't we ask the imperial court for help?"

A general covered in blood walked up to the Marquis of Donghuang and said to him.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Donghuang sighed. "The Northern Di, Western Rong, and Southern Man have joined forces to attack the Great Zhou. The three passes of Yumen, Yanmen, and Nanmen have already been breached by them."

"Do you think that if we ask the imperial court for help, the court will send troops to support our Eastern Wilderness?"

Marquis Donghuang glanced at the general covered in blood and said.

Upon hearing the words of the Marquis of Donghuang, the blood-stained general said with resentment, "The imperial court may not have a large army to support us, but it can provide us with weapons, armor, and other supplies!"

"Our Eastern Wilderness Army can't possibly withstand the Eastern Barbarians' attack alone, while the imperial court doesn't even offer any assistance!"

The general spoke with a grim expression.

Since the Eastern Yi attacked Dongyan Pass, the imperial court has remained silent except for a previous edict reminding them.

This greatly displeased the generals of the Eastern Wilderness Army.

They were fighting desperately on the front lines, but the imperial court remained completely silent in the rear.

What's going on?

No matter what, the Eastern Yi attacking the Eastern Huang is still a national war.

The imperial court has no troops to support us, but surely they can send some weapons, armor, and martial arts experts!

It should be noted that in the past two days, many generals of the Eastern Wilderness Army have been killed or wounded in order to resist the attack of the Eastern Barbarians.

Upon hearing the general's words, the Marquis of Donghuang's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.
