Chapter 367: Galloping in troubled times, all betting heavily (asking for monthly tickets)
Mr. Wen He instantly felt the evil spirit coming from behind him.

Without changing his expression, he said righteously, "Actually, you are wrong."

"My name is Wen Lingjun."

"It's not Wenhe."

A vein bulged on the forehead of the gentle gentleman, his face became even gloomier, but his smile became even happier. He said, "Oh? Wen Lingjun? Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful."

"I don't know if I should call you Wen Lingjun."

"Or is it Yan Daiqing from the Western Regions?"

Yan Daiqing's face turned a little dark. To be honest, he had a headache, stomachache, and his heart ached from anger.

He worked tirelessly for logistics and finance in the rear, and was exhausted all day long, with almost no good rest. He was able to control the financial deficit a little and maintain people's livelihood during the most chaotic [winter] in the Western Regions and the grasslands in the past.

The headache and stomachache caused by the stress were slightly relieved.

That day, I felt refreshed.

Had a nap.

When he woke up, he found himself at the top of the Western Region's Ruthless List.

Far ahead of the second boss.

Wenrun Junzi felt like the sky was falling.

At this moment, Yan Daiqing had a dark face and looked at Mr. Wen He with a smile. He took out a big brick in his hand. Mohist Pan Wanxiu personally supervised the production. If not everyone in Anxi City knew about it, Yan Daiqing would have been staying in the rear during this period of time.

All the evidence preserved the reputation of this gentleman.

Yan Daiqing was ready to fight the bastard in front of him to the death.

Even so, there was no way he could let this man off easily today. Wen He turned around and straightened his clothes. Until this moment, he still looked calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

When the brick was swung up and smashed down on Mr. Wen He's forehead with the third-level martial arts and the essence of Kunlun Sword School's swordsmanship.

Mr. Wen He paused for a moment and said:
"gold."

The brick wrapped in sword energy stopped steadily just a finger's width away from touching Mr. Wen He's face.

The sword energy tore Mr. Wen He's hair, causing it to be pulled back.

Even his cheeks were shaking slightly.

The Tiance Mansion is truly filled with talented people in every sense of the word.

The gentle gentleman asked, "How much?"

Wen He's mouth twitched: "National treasury."

Wen Runjun was surprised. The brick slightly left Wen He's face, and then he asked suspiciously, "How much?"

Wen He smiled and said, "Three hundred years in the Western Region."

The brick completely left Wen He, and Wen Runjunzi's eyes lit up.

"No one took him away?"

Wen He said happily: "Don't worry, no one wants to touch the red-hot gold. There are still hot ashes hidden underneath the city. In addition, the situation is so complicated that no one dares to be the first to go in and take it, for fear of burning the city."

"As long as we completely conquer the Western Regions before going in, we can get the gold and other things."

"They are all ours."

So Wenrun Junzi was overjoyed, and with a shake of his hand, the brick was thrown down.

Wen He smiled.

Then he saw Wenrun Junzi clench his fist the moment he threw down the brick. His five fingers were white and slender, yet powerful. He clenched them together and dropped them towards Wenhe's face.

In this one breath, many things flashed through Wen He's mind.

Finally it became a choice.

To hide or not to hide.

In the end, Mr. Wen He had no choice but to stand there, motionless, and take the beating.

The world is so big, with a population of millions in the Western Regions and the south of the Yangtze River. Later, after fighting for the four directions, an army of 200,000 was led, with food, fodder, gold, silver, personnel, and people's livelihood, these things are no less important than battles, famous generals, and strategists.

In a word.

Logistics is the boss.

boom! ! ! !

When many counselors and generals of the Anxi Protectorate gathered together that day, they saw that the ruthless man, Mr. Wen He, had a black eye on his right side and a swollen nose and face.

Then he looked at Yan Daiqing again.

Yan Daiqing, refreshed!

Li Guanyi asked Wen He why he didn't hide, and Wen He had to answer that if he hid, he was afraid that Yan Daiqing would be so angry that he would lie on the bed and unable to get down.

Li Guanyi asked, then don't use Yan Daiqing's name next time.

Wen He said happily: "But it's very interesting."

"This traditional and old-fashioned gentleman is the most entertaining."

Li Guanyi: “…………”

Tiance Mansion is full of talented people.

Why did these guys with different personalities but great talents gather in Tiance Mansion for no apparent reason? Li Guanyi himself didn't know. The sky was dark, snow was falling, and the generals and counselors of Anxi Protectorate were discussing the overall situation at the moment.

The Wolf King is not the type to stay at peace with a small place. If he was called Chen Dingye, he would definitely choose to retreat to one side when facing the previous situation and strategic failure. Even if he could not compete for the world and occupy the Central Plains, he could still dominate the Western Regions.

Wolf King no.

Even if he had to mobilize an army of millions and fight to the death, he would not choose to live in peace.

Xiyi City has sent people to the alliance, saying that they are willing to work together to accomplish great things. If the Wolf King becomes powerful, this almost dying wolf will be forced to beg for life, and the major generals and forces in the Western Regions will have no chance to survive.

Possesses the foundation to mobilize an army of one million men.

And even after a war of this magnitude, it did not shake the foundation of the country, nor did it cause any serious damage or collapse.

This is basically the level of a true overlord.

However, the arrival of Xiyi City was not an unexpected problem. Shortly afterwards, Lu Youxian, who came from the border of Chen State and had a grudge against Li Guanyi, also sent a general here to seek peace and alliance, which surprised Li Guanyi and Pojun.

"Lu Youxian, that old turtle said he wants to form an alliance with us?"

Li Guanyi was deeply impressed by this calm warrior.

Of course, what impressed me even more was this guy's tactics of avoiding battle and building cities and walls.

Po Jun said playfully: "...Emperor Chen Dingye seemed to have broken with the Wolf King, but in the overall situation, he restrained Jiang Wanxiang, Jiang Su, Yuwen Lie, Qin Yulong and other generals, which in turn gave the Wolf King a chance to rise."

"And the general of Chen State here is Lu Youxian, a famous general who will not take the initiative to attack. If we ignore the things between Chen Dingye and Chen Fubi, this is clearly a strategic coordination."

"At this time, forming an alliance with us... is interesting."

Chen State Frontier.

Lu Youxian's decision to form an alliance puzzled the generals who did not know the true strategy of the State of Chen. They asked, "General, although the Wolf King is now very powerful, it is obvious that he is at the end of his strength."

"At this moment, the Wolf King is at his strongest. It is unwise for us to engage him in battle. It is better for us to hold our ground and avoid a direct battle. We should wait until the Wolf King's forces disperse. That will be our chance."

Lu Youxian replied: "That is a strategy of defeat."

“The meaning of defense is not to hold on, but to know when to attack.”

“If the Wolf King is powerful and defeats Anxi City and Xiyi City, we will be the first to bear the brunt. Can we stop the millions of plundering troops? And if the Wolf King fails and is defeated, either Anxi City and Xiyi City will cut off the Wolf King’s foundation, or the Western Region will return to chaos.”

"Wouldn't that be a complete failure?"

The general was scolded and could not answer.

Lu Youxian said: "A defensive battle is to avoid unnecessary battles, preserve your own forces, secretly wait for the opportunity, and when you encounter a critical opportunity, you must step onto the battlefield without hesitation."

"Now that the situation has come, how can you and I avoid the battle?!"

"Do you really think that defending the battlefield means being afraid of fighting?"

"Let's go down."

The generals looked ashamed and bowed and retreated.

Lu Youxian sighed.

Write a war report to Chen Dingye - [Your Majesty, the Wolf King is powerful, like a raging fire. If you sit back and do nothing, I will worry about the coalition forces of Anxi City and Xiyi City. Once they come out, they will hinder the Wolf King's momentum. Now, avoiding the battle again and defending is just seeking death and defeat.]

[If we forcibly send troops to attack Anxi City and Xiyi City, firstly, it will not be very effective in the overall situation. Secondly, the true strategy of our Chen State will inevitably be completely exposed to the hearts of the people of the world. After thinking about it, we can only take a little risk.]

[I beg Your Majesty to hand over all the military power in the border areas to me]

[Secretly join forces with Anxi City and Xiyi City to contain their march, which can create opportunities for the Wolf King and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If the Western Region can win the final battle, then the Wolf King and the Crown Prince can achieve a great victory! ]

[If defeated, Dachen would have no hope of ruling the world]

[This is the most stable strategy]

Lu Youxian reported the battle report to Chen Dingye, but did not wait for Chen Dingye to come back. This calm and simple general looked at the geomancy map of the Western Regions. The situation at this moment seemed to have become completely tense.

The storm is coming at this moment.

When Chen Dingye saw the memorial that was quickly sent back, he agreed to Lu Youxian's strategy without hesitation. Some Qingliu people submitted a memorial, saying that Lu Youxian was holding on to his troops and was self-reliant, and asked Your Majesty to think twice.

He was beheaded by Chen Dingye.

His arrogance was chilling. Perhaps it was because of the rotation of this magnificent trend and this tremendous pressure that Chen Dingye completely abandoned the decadence and checks and balances that he had during the period when Tan Tai Xianming was still alive, like a poisonous dragon with bared fangs.

"Li Guanyi, Li Guanyi..."

Chen Dingye muttered to himself and waved his sleeves.

Send the Fifth Heaven General, Gong Zhenyong, to lead the infantry with halberds.

In the fourth heaven, Ye Buyi led a reserve corps of three thousand night cavalry.

Zhou Liuying of the fourth heaven led three thousand infantrymen with hook-and-sickle spears.

And the young military captains of each family, that is, the young men of the Jinwu Guards, led their troops and went forward together. It seemed that they had completely formed an alliance. In secret, they went to the library and invited one of the ancestors of the Chen State to come out.

The old man is over a hundred years old. Although he is not as ferocious as the sword madman back then, his internal strength and martial arts skills are not much different from his. It's just that they do not have the extraordinary talents of other martial arts legends, nor the arrogance of the sword madman.

At this moment, his face was full of wrinkles and his vital energy was locked inside. Every time he attacked, he would consume his lifespan. If he fought a few more fierce battles, he would probably run out of vital energy and die.

The old man's name is Chen Tianyi. He stared at Chen Dingye and said in a hoarse voice:

"You want me to take action?"

Chen Dingye's black hair had turned mostly white, and he looked disdainful, without any grace, but with a domineering indifference. He nodded.

Chen Tianyi said: "Let me hear what you have to say."

Chen Dingye said: "For my Chen State, the best result is that my brother can rise completely. At that time, my Chen State will be swallowed up and I will start a new one. The other is that although my brother's troops are defeated, they are just defeated soldiers."

"More than a dozen forces and rebel armies have disturbed the Western Region and caused it to return to chaos. In that case, although my Great Chen strategy cannot be maximized, it has not allowed the Ying Kingdom to take advantage."

Chen Tianyi stared at Chen Dingye: "If he comes back, you will die."

This [he] is the Wolf King Chen Fubi. Chen Dingye said: "...I know."

Chen Tianyi's eyes were deep: "The Taiping Duke's affairs have had a huge impact on Fu Bi. If he hadn't been eager to pacify the world, he would have killed you long ago."

Chen Dingye picked up his white hair and said calmly: "I know that too."

"You have done something and you have to pay the price."

"People in later generations will know that I killed Duke Taiping, and will know that the Wolf King killed me. I will be infamous for eternity, but after me, history will say this."

"Southern Chen, annex the world and become the Great Chen!"

Chen Dingye lowered his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Let my death be the proof that the Great Chen will annex the world. However, uncle, the one who succeeds in the end will not be me, nor my brother."

Chen Dingye grabbed a handful of fish food and scattered it beside the pond where Chen Qingyan often stayed. He looked at the fish swimming in it one by one, lost in thought for a long time, and said:

"People of our generation, the heroes and great men that the world calls us, all have their own problems. We are too deeply tied down by the past, so deeply that no one can truly create a peaceful future."

"My elder brother is too domineering, and Li Wanli is too naive."

"One believes that only power and laws can restrain the desires of the people's hearts, and the other believes that the gathering of people's hearts is the greatest power. Sometimes I wonder, if the two of them always stand side by side, who in the world can stand against them?"

"Or maybe, behind Tan Tai Xian Ming's plan, it was actually Jiang Su."

"The world's number one general does not want the Wolf King and the Duke of Taiping to meet, nor does he want the Taiping Army and the Canglang Guard to fight side by side, so he designed to guide the Wolf King's desires and let the two of them face off with swords..."

"No one knows what happened in the past."

"But I will take the Wolf King with me."

Chen Tianyi was stunned, and then his eyes narrowed. The prince of Chen State, who had lived for more than a hundred years and led the Tuyuhun Rebellion one hundred and twenty years ago and completely destroyed the bloodline of Tuyuhun, felt a chill as he looked at Chen Dingye.

Chen Dingye whispered: "Wen Mian will be the emperor of the new Chen Dynasty."

"Without family affection, there can be no friendship."

"He watched his mother commit suicide, resented his adoptive father, and watched his biological father and adoptive father die in front of him. He was a man without tears or blood, without personal good or evil, without the constraints of family affection, and hated emotions, but he cared about the people."

"A perfect, ruthless yet loving emperor."

"I will not be as loyal as Duke Taiping, nor will I be led by desire like my brother and I, and end up in the same situation as before."

Chen Tianyi felt a chill rising up his spine.

"Do you consider yourself a part of his training?"

Chen Dingye said: "It should be like this for a lonely man."

"The emperor should not be a human being."

A hint of murderous intent arose in Chen Tianyi's heart.

He looked at Chen Dingye in front of him, and finally let go of the murderous intent. He thought of the beginning, when this prince was scolded for being too soft-hearted and pleading for the young eunuch, and later became a member of the strongest generation of the Chen Kingdom.

Then there was the absurd and hedonistic king, and now the cold and reawakened king, who just said: "...Seriously, the poisonous dragon in troubled times."

Chen Dingye said: "I just hate that I woke up too late."

"Then my life and the future of Dachen will be in your hands, uncle."

The king looked at the white-haired old man, threw away the last handful of fish food, and said, "The killing intent from before was strong enough."

"If you really want to kill me, go help Wen Mian."

"If Chen Wenmian were to take off my head personally, that would be..."

The Emperor of Chen looked at Chen Tianyi with an indifferent look in his eyes:
"The best crowning."

"This is the only instruction that my 'father' has given to this crown prince."

Yingguo——

Jiang Wanxiang looked at the war report from the Western Region.

At this moment, all parts of the world are caught in a balance of power and competition, except for the Western Region, which is becoming more and more confrontational. The Wolf King tyrannically killed Hu Ling.

Anxi City suddenly rose up and Xiyi City was besieged.

Eight hundred men charged into the battle formation, and in the battle formation of one hundred thousand, they beheaded the enemy general.

Western Region Allied Forces.

The Wolf King reversed the situation.

The karmic fire burned down the city and killed a hundred thousand soldiers.

The wolf king summoned up his remaining courage and led his millions of soldiers.

Jiang Wanxiang suddenly sighed and said, "I'm afraid that future generations will have a headache when they study this period of history. The most courageous, cunning, and vicious battles of the time were all staged in the Western Regions within this year."

"I wonder what the Imperial Master thinks when he sees this battle report at the front line?"

Jiang Wanxiang said: "He Ruoqinhu hopes to send troops to fight against the Wolf King... Oh, the key point of the world is here. If Chen State gains the upper hand, we will have to face the Wolf King who rises again."

"And if Li Guanyi rises...ha, I will really have a headache!"

"There is only one best plan for me!"

"Completely crush the Wolf King's army and turn the entire Western Region into chaos. Anything else is a bad idea."

Jiang Wanxiang pondered for a long time, gave an order, and mobilized troops to rush to the front line.

The generals leading the group are:

He Ruoqinhu was appointed as the general, and Qin Yulong as his assistant.

Crown Prince Jiang Gao personally supervised the army.

All the generals, soldiers and front-line troops who could still be mobilized were sent forward, and Yuwen Tianxian and Yuwenhua, two old friends of Li Guanyi, were also mobilized to show their sincerity. The old emperor looked at this magnificent world.

Then, push everything you can mobilize in your hand onto the chessboard!

Come on, world!
Later historians, looking back at this magnificent war, would find that in December of that year, there were smoke and fire everywhere in the world, with people fighting against each other. The State of Chen and the State of Ying had their own victories and defeats on different fronts.

The competition between the number one general and the number two general in the world attracted the attention of almost everyone in the world.

However, all the remaining forces of the various nations began to gather in the Western Regions.

Yue Pengwu rides on the back of Wei!

Wolf King [Canglang Guard]

Ying State [Tiger Cavalry] [Jade Dragon Corps] [Tiger Roaring Army]

Chen State [Night Cavalry] [Hook-Sickle Lance Cavalry] [Halberd Cavalry]

There are two generals among the top ten in the world, and there are even more generals among the top thirty. Facing the final counterattack of the Wolf King, the whole world has given a greater momentum to encircle and kill him, and the momentum is surging and heroic.

In the Wolf King’s army.

Chen Wenmian was unable to see his father. After asking many people, he finally found out about his father's whereabouts. He was wearing armor and a white robe. He had been taught by the world's top generals since he was a child. He was also the crown prince of a country and had no shortage of resources. Now he had reached the sixth level of heaven.

He is of great bearing and is a hero of the young generation who has risen through actual combat.

He saw his father's back from afar. For some reason, although the Wolf King's military power had reached its peak at this moment, Chen Wenmian felt a sense of desolation and oldness from his father's back.

The old wolf king was humming some ballad as he sat cross-legged on a small hillside near the army. This heroic general had taken off his armor, wearing only an ink-black robe that revealed his chest covered with sword scars. He was biting a date in his mouth as he looked at the vast sky in the distance.

Chen Wenmian walked over, and after a long while, the Wolf King stopped what he was doing and threw the wooden sword in his hand to Chen Wenmian. Chen Wenmian said, "Marshal... The general and the Khans are in conflict again..."

The Wolf King said: "They have blood feuds with each other. If they are forcibly integrated, there will be conflicts. Now it is just because of common interests and dangers that everyone is integrated. It looks like a million-strong army, but in fact it is a pile of loose sand."

He just blurted out everything in such a lighthearted way.

Chen Wenmian pursed his lips, his expression tense, but the Wolf King laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, even if we are scattered, we will be united under the huge pressure from the outside world."

"These Western Region troops cannot be used."

"They were normal at first, but later they indulged their desires and robbed the Tanguts. The morale of the army has been broken. Even if they win a great victory in the future, these people will be abandoned. Wen Mian, let me ask you a question."

The Wolf King looked at his son and said, "The current situation in the world is that fighting is rising in all directions. If I occupy the Western Region, what will you do?"

Chen Wenmian replied: "Occupy the northwest, recuperate, gradually strengthen the army to protect ourselves, and then maintain the army to fight for the world."

Can't be wrong.

The Wolf King remained silent for a long time and asked many more questions. Chen Wenmian answered them one by one. All his answers were well-reasoned and in line with the decision of a wise monarch. The Wolf King nodded and took out something, which was a string of tangled ropes, and handed it to Chen Wenmian.

"I heard that my son has always been talented, why don't you solve this thing?"

"If you can solve it, father will give you something good."

Chen Wenmian said, "I can't untie it right now, father, how about I take it back and untie it?" The wolf king nodded, and Chen Wenmian left with the thing in his arms. The old wolf king sighed and said, "What a pity, what a pity, there is a knife on my waist, why don't you use it?"

"Old monk, what do you say?"

The old wolf king who had always destroyed Buddhism glanced to the side. There came a bald monk with a bitter look on his face. It was the Living Buddha of the Western Regions. The Living Buddha of the Western Regions watched Chen Wenmian go away and said, "Young Marshal, your martial arts and knowledge are both top-notch. What a pity, what a pity."

The old wolf king said: "What a pity, he doesn't have the same viciousness as the overlord."

"You are an interesting person."

The Living Buddha of the Western Regions looked at the knot that was constantly tangled together. This was the situation in the Western Regions. He went to Jiangzhou City in the past, hoping to use external forces to untie the knot. He met Zu Wenyuan, and was cut in half by Li Guanyi's sword.

The Living Buddha said: "The young commander has a kind heart, martial arts, knowledge, and scheming, which are all top-notch means for the younger generation. It's just a pity, a pity, that he lacks a sense of courage."

The old wolf king just smiled and said, "Yes, Wen Mian, you are not qualified to be a founding king. You don't have the evil spirit and violence to break the rules without fear of them."

"I don't know what Chen Dingye's plan is. If anything goes wrong later, I'll have to trouble you, monk, to take him away."

The Living Buddha of the Western Regions said: "I never thought that the Wolf King who destroyed Buddhism had any relationship with a monk like me."

The old wolf king simply replied, "Back then, the Demon Sect in the Western Regions went to the Central Plains and gave lectures everywhere, spreading Buddhism. They captured beggars and vagrants, and returned to the Demon Sect in the Western Regions. They were vaguely connected to the Buddhist sect in the Western Regions."

"At that time, you were already famous and had a very good relationship with the emperor's uncle, but you decided to come back and inherit the so-called living Buddha position. If not for this, the Demon Sect would have been powerful long ago. I think you are a real monk, and I killed fake monks."

"If so, isn't it also a merit?"

The old living Buddha sighed: "Won't the Wolf King give the things to the young commander?"

The wolf king replied: "No, I won't give it to anyone. If you want to get the world's power from me, there is only one way!"

The Wolf King said resolutely: "Defeat me!"

The old living Buddha asked, "Then, who do you think has the potential to surpass you?"

The old wolf king looked at him and laughed out loud:

"Kill millions of soldiers in the world, and the sword on your waist is still bloody."

"I don't know what a hero is, so I just keep asking for his name!"

"Go, go!"

The old Living Buddha looked at the spirited general and just sighed.

In Anxi City, Li Guanyi stared at the bronze tripod.

The fate of the Tanguts’ destruction has fallen upon this person.

The luck of this body.

Faintly, riot! Upgrade!
