Chapter 391 The War Breaks Out! (Seeking monthly tickets)
The fifth most powerful general in the world, Yuwen Lie, appeared in Xiyi City. Xiyi City had accumulated all the resources of the cities in the western territory of Ying State. With the mobilization of troops, a total of 200,000 troops were gathered in Xiyi City.

Although He Ruo had suffered a great defeat with his troops before capturing the tiger.

But, Duke Li, turned around like the wind.

Run away without hesitation.

Retreat!

Under such circumstances, although the territories that had been opened up by Yuwen Lie after his conquest of Tuyuhun were lost, the power of Ying State in the Western Regions was preserved to the greatest extent.

But this time he had no choice but to step back and was forced to step onto the turbulent gambling table of the world. The Yuwen family had already expanded its borders. Therefore, the mood of Yuwen Hua, Yuwen Tianxian, and Li Zhaowen, the three guest generals in Anxi City, could not help but change and become depressed.

Although according to the rules and their own moral code, they would not stab Anxi City in the back at this time.

However, in such a turbulent situation for the country and the family, asking them to lead the troops and fight on the battlefield on behalf of Anxi City was simply cruel and ruthless. The three generals had no choice but to recuperate in Anxi City for the time being.

Yuwen Lie, in this era, was a godly general who had a record of destroying nations. He was arrogant, cold, yet awe-inspiring and majestic godly general, in the realm of the Ninth Heaven, with the White Tiger Dharmakaya. The eight thousand Tiger Cavalry under his command were precisely the three ace cavalry corps.

Yuwen Lie only had the Tiger Cavalry with him, but he had the means to fight against the martial arts legend.

The Green Robe Changshengke has proved the threat of this tiger with his own life.

Facing such an opponent, the Wolf King was actually more cautious than he was against He Ruoqinhu.

He Ruoqinhu is a veteran general. Although he has a high reputation and rich experience, he lacks vigor and bravery. The Wolf King is cunning. Facing a general who is similar to Li Guanyi and is at the peak of his career in terms of military strategy, martial arts, and physique, he cannot be underestimated.

The situation has come to this.

All strategies and tactics have been pushed to the limit.

Regardless of whether we are on the enemy side or not, our goals are extremely direct and clear!

Then, let’s fight!
The Wolf King's army was divided into three groups and at the same time summoned the twenty-seven enfeoffed Khans, promising them benefits after they captured Xiyi City and warning them that if Yuwen Lie won a great victory.

That cold and arrogant white tiger would show no mercy to the foreign tribes in the Western Regions. He seized the opportunity, marched quickly, and destroyed Tuyuhun in one breath. All the nobles of Tuyuhun were killed by Yuwen Lie.

It’s a pity that the seal of the Tuyuhun king did not fall into his hands.

Therefore, Yuwen Lie already had a hidden anger towards the Western Regions.

Being transferred to the battlefield in the heart of the Central Plains would be fine, but now that he has come to the Western Regions, there will definitely be no mercy.

Therefore, many Khans, either under coercion or for the sake of interests, made a choice and each of them, under their own banner, became the plundering troops of the Wolf King's Army. The Wolf King's army managed to defeat He Ruo Qinhu, with the loss of more than 70,000 people, and then went on expeditions everywhere. Now, they have only more than 100,000 combat troops and more than 100,000 logistics troops. Facing Yuwen Lie, they do not have an advantage.

This will definitely be an absolute fight.

"This is the battle between a single divine general and a country."

Po Jun's tone was a little low: "Even a powerful general like the Wolf King can be said to win every battle and conquer every attack, but he will also suffer losses and consumption. He seems to be invincible and invincible during this period of time, but in fact he is on the decline."

"The more people fight, the fewer they are."

"Ying State occupies the Central Plains, covering tens of thousands of miles. Even if they have to cut flesh and bleed, they can still hold out for a while. If a general of He Ruo's caliber fails, they can bring out Yuwen Lie in the blink of an eye, and they can also bring out so many troops."

“This is what is called [National War].”

"When nations go to war, the strength of the entire nation is the basis for victory or defeat on the battlefield."

"Wolf King..."

Po Jun remained silent, he did not want to talk about this ending, but this ending was also obvious. No matter whether the Wolf King won or lost, the final outcome would be the same, he would die. Duke Li was calm and restrained, moving forward like the wind, while he simply retreated into the shell and refused to come out.

He planned to kill the wolf king directly.

But Yuwen Lie is different.

Such a brave and solemn general will definitely choose to fight the Wolf King head-on, like a tiger swallowing a wolf, and seek a fair and just victory that will leave others speechless!

Li Guanyi said: "...If the Wolf King is defeated, we will have no hope in the Western Regions. Yuwen Lie will definitely come and fight us."

"Mr. Pojun, prepare to mobilize troops to support the Wolf King."

Po Jun stood up, bowed and said, "Yes."

Tiance Mansion began to operate.

Yan Daiqing was in charge of logistics, Po Jun was in charge of overall coordination, Yuan Zhi was in charge of the military front, and Wen He was in charge of the alliance with Lu Youxian.

Regarding the last point, Li Guanyi expressed deep doubts.

Mr. Wen He said that Lan Wendu still owed them 500,000 taels of silver which had not been recovered.

So Qin Wuhou readily agreed.

He looked at the sky with the sword in his hand. It was already spring, and the sky in the Western Region was very beautiful. Li Guanyi held the blade of the Chixiao Sword in one hand and pulled out the magic sword with the other hand. The sword body was shining with golden and red light, reflecting Li Guanyi's pupils.

Yuwen Lie...

Li Guanyi thought about it.

This was the first top general he met in his life.

At that time, he was still in Jiangzhou City, and he was just a Jinwu Guard of the second heaven, while Yuwen Lie destroyed Tuyuhun and became the fifth most powerful general in the world at the age of thirty, with a magnificent arrogance.

At that time, Yuwen Lie had an extreme murderous intention towards him, and it was Jiang Gao who stopped him. However, looking back on what happened back then, it seems vague.

Eventually, they will have to fight on the battlefield.

However, according to common sense, this Yuwen Lie is the real White Tiger Sect, right? If there is a subtle feeling in the dark, it is natural that Yuwen Lie has an absolute killing intention towards him as soon as they meet.

Li Guanyi thought about it.

Suddenly, I felt some sound and looked sideways. In the spring in the Western Region, in front of the main house of the courtyard of the Lord's Mansion of Anxi City, a girl was sitting there quietly, with her silver hair hanging down, a scroll on her knees, reading quietly.

The entire Anxi Army, or rather, the backbone of the Qilin Army that filled into the Anxi Army.

I have received the booklet compiled by Yaoguang.

Possessing basic observations of celestial phenomena, astrology, and hydrology, and the ability to formulate marching strategies based on this natural information, the entire army has undergone another transformation. Next to the silver-haired girl, the Qilin has transformed into a cat, lying quietly there enjoying the breeze.

Yaoguang looked up at Li Guanyi: "Hmm???"

"nothing."

Li Guan smiled and said, "That's good."

The silver-haired girl looked at him, then moved to the side, put the book on her knees, stretched out her hand, and patted the stone bench beside her, with no expression on her face.

popping.

He paused, then patted again.

Like luring a cat on the side of the road.

Li Guanyi smiled, knowing what Yaoguang meant. He simply walked over and sat on the stone bench, holding his sword and leaning against the corridor at the back. The spring breeze from the Western Regions blew over, and Li Guanyi's black hair hung down at his temples. Next to him was a silver-haired girl who was reading quietly.

The content is astrology. During this period of time, Yaoguang has collected legends from all tribes in the Western Regions and is compiling a book on astrology for the entire Western Regions, in order to inherit, integrate, and systematically pass on the knowledge accumulated by people over the past hundreds of years.

She is integrating the knowledge from the three sects: the Western Regions, the Central Plains, the Academy, and the secular world.

And it is thoroughly systematized.

The whole country was in chaos and the Western Region was in turmoil.

But Li Guanyi still felt a sense of tranquility.

Yaoguang thought for a moment, then picked up the scroll.

Thoughtful.

Li Guanyi was thinking about something when the silver-haired girl next to him suddenly stood up.

Li Guanyi smiled and turned back, saying: "Yaoguang, you want to..."

Li Guanyi was stunned. A slightly cool white hand reached out and pressed on his eye sockets, then gently pressed back. Li Guanyi was worried that if he resisted, Yaoguang would be injured, so he did not resist and fell to the ground.

I felt my body leaning back, and the world turned upside down through the narrow vision between the girl's fingers, and there was a breeze blowing past.

Li Guanyi felt a warm and slightly elastic touch on the back of his head and was slightly stunned.

The hand moved away quietly.

Li Guanyi looked up, his eyes fixed on the sky, seeing the vast and tranquil western sky. The back of his head rested on the girl's thigh. The silver-haired girl stretched out her left hand and pressed it quietly on Li Guanyi's brow. She held up the manual with her right palm and turned the pages with two fingers.

The spring wind blows, and Yaoguang's silver hair falls down.

The soft left hand caresses quietly.

The girl's face was expressionless, her tone was calm, and her voice was peaceful:

"The book says it will relax you."

"In a book?"

Li Guan was stunned. He saw from below that the girl actually stacked two books together. The top one was a collection of Western Region astrology, and the bottom one was another volume.

The First Yaoguang Handbook

Li Guanyi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

That’s good…

he thought.

Li Guan looked at the sky in the distance.

Although he and Yuwen Lie were in a hostile state from the beginning.

But I don’t regret meeting Yaoguang.

The White Tiger Sect?
Until today, he has come all the way to this moment. He slightly closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly. The situation was complicated and he had to concentrate.

He hasn't slept for four or five days.

I will never give up this title again.

Li Guanyi had a rare good sleep during this period. When he woke up in a daze, it was already evening. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the distant sunset in the sky. He was stunned and heard a quiet voice in his ears:

"You're awake."

Li Guan raised his eyes and saw the silver-haired girl still waiting beside him, her silver hair hanging down with the glow of the sunset, just as promised, no matter what time it was, no matter how brutal and fierce the killing field was.

Whenever Li Guan turned around, Yaoguang would be there.

"Well, it's rare to be at peace for so long."

He turned over and sat up, stretched, and let out a breath. From afar, he heard the argument between Yuan Zhi and Po Jun. Li Guanyi picked up his sword, said goodbye to Yaoguang, and strode towards the battlefield and the fight again.

The silver-haired girl watched him go away quietly, as if thinking about something.

"This time, it seems to have the feeling recorded in the First Generation Yaoguang Handbook."

Qilin: “…………???”

The silver-haired girl carefully recorded it and said:
"The tingling feeling coming from him."

"It makes people want to run away, but also want to get closer. They can't help it and are unwilling to refuse."

"I see, Qilin, do you understand?"

Qilin who was eating the good fruit: "Ah???"

"I?!!"

The silver-haired girl looked into the distance, then closed the book, stood up, and walked outside.

Then--

Thump. He fell to the ground.

The silver-haired girl stood up with her hands on the ground and looked at her left leg. There was no ripple in her eyes. Qilin burst into laughter and mocked her wantonly: "Hahahaha, I know, I know! It's because I've been sitting for too long, so my leg is numb!"

"I understand. Your legs are numb. Why don't you just push him down?"

The silver-haired girl sat up and shook her hair. The silver hair swayed and the fallen leaves on it fell down.

There were a few stray hairs hanging from the corners of his mouth.

The clear eyes stared at Qilin.

stare--

Qilin's wanton mocking voice gradually became smaller and weaker.

Yaoguang reached out and kneaded Qilin's cat-like head.

Then he took two good fruits from Qilin's arms.

"Goodbye."

The silver-haired girl tucked the book under her arm and walked back in a skipping manner.

Qilin: “???”

"what???"

The situation is overwhelming and if we don't move forward we will fall behind. There is really no room for fear.

On that day, the army of Xiyi City went out. Yuwen Lie personally led the army and the famous generals of the Yuwen family to recapture the territory and city that had been seized by the Wolf King before. Then, they fought forward with great momentum and like a tiger.

The Wolf King divided his army into three armies, with the central army in the front and the left and right armies raiding back and forth, fighting against Yuwen Lie's army and each winning battles.

The Anxi Army left behind more than 100,000 troops to guard more than 70 cities under its command.

Most of these defenders were made up of brave people from the Western Regions. Their fighting skills would undoubtedly mean suicide if they set foot on a battlefield of this level. Li Guanzhi set out with only 50,000 elite soldiers because they were fighting not far from their own sphere of influence.

Less logistical pressure.

The accompanying troops included the Golden Scimitar Cavalry led by Qibili and the Hundred Guards Battalion led by Wang Shunchen, totaling 10,000 troops.

As well as Fan Qing, Ye Buyi, and Zhou Liuying as deputy generals of the Qilin Guard with 7,000 men.

With Yue Qianfeng as the main general and Gong Zhenyong as the deputy general, there are 5,000 halberd warriors.
And the 30,000-man Canglang Guard, with Chen Wenmian as the main general and Xu Huiyang as the deputy general.

With Yuan Zhi as the military adviser, Ximen Hengrong as the guard, Li Kedi, Yuchi Xiong and others fought together.

With more than 50,000 elite troops, they fought against the Ying State army from the south-west side of Xiyi City when the main force of the Wolf King's central army was fighting against Yuwen Lie's army. At the same time, Lu Youxian also led 50,000 elite troops and directly entered the battlefield from another direction.

The god known as the Old Turtle will no longer hide his true colors.

He put down the spear he used to defend the city and instead stepped onto the battlefield wielding a heavy hammer.

Big means strength, heavy means power!
Even if the opponents were wearing precious armor, it would be of no use to them. They would often be hit so hard that the armor would be dented, the flesh underneath would be blurred, their internal organs would be broken, and they would vomit three liters of blood and die.

While advancing the front line along the way, build defensive measures and construct cities.

As a result, the logistics of the State of Chen could operate at a high speed with almost no interference, keeping the morale and combat capability of the army at a peak state. Once the war started, within a dozen days, the fighting became more and more brutal.

Li Guanyi had no time to think about anything else. This time, there was no room for error in the war. It was a head-on collision. The advancement of the battle line meant casualties and a horrific consumption of logistics.

The army led by Yuwen Lie almost demonstrated the top level of Ying State, a top power. Li Guanyi and Lu Youxian pressed the front lines forward. Although they could defeat the opponent, it was difficult for them to advance the front lines instantly.

Whether it was Li Guanyi's tactics, with Li Guanyi himself as the main general and fierce generals, counselors, and strong soldiers as the core, or Lu Youxian's style of advancing steadily, their progress was suppressed.

Although the Ying army retreated, it was not in chaos.

There was no sign of defeat.

The horror of Yuwen Lie can be seen from here.

“This is just stalling for time…”

"From the beginning, they had no intention of winning with these two wings of the army. Their goal was just to delay the reinforcements and use them as two shields to hold back the armies of us, Lu Youxian, and the khans in the Western Regions."

"Then, Yuwen Lie rushed forward with all his strength and defeated the Wolf King."

Li Guanyi saw through the tactics of the Ying State army this time.

The famous general Yuwen Lie's domineering and bravery were displayed to the fullest, which was consistent with his past character of hating fools - he met the highest requirements of military strategists for commanders.

Don't fight meaningless and unnecessary wars.

War is only a means, and the general trend is the goal.

War serves the general trend of the world, not the other way around.

Yuwen Lie knew exactly who the main strategic target of this war was, and he had no intention of wasting time on Li Guanyi and others. He seemed to be planning to kill the Wolf King first.

Then, depending on the situation of his own troops, he could either fight against Li Guanyi or retreat back to Xiyi City.

What interests, divisions, conspiracies.

Facing a general who only focuses on one point at a time.

Meaningless.

Yuwen Lie didn't take the bait at all.

Lock on the target and ignore everything else.

Directly immune to all strategies.

Solemn, arrogant, cold, yet extremely restrained and efficient.

It's a completely different fighting method from He Ruo's method of capturing the tiger.

On the battlefield in the north, Chen Dingye had a complicated expression when he learned that Yuwen Lie had arrived in the Western Regions and Jiang Su was still here. Even if this was what he hoped would happen, he still felt complicated to really bet his life on the gambling table.

Fear, of course, will be fear.

He also witnessed the era when Duke Taiping and King Shenwu dealt with the world's number one general.

"Heh...it seems that the head of the Emperor of Chen is still meaningful."

"Jiang Su!"

Chen Dingye's eyes flashed with mixed emotions, and the murderous wind made the armor feel cold. Ye Zhongdao said beside him: "Your Majesty, since the strategy has been successful, you should not continue to take risks here. If Jiang Su's troops come, you..."

Chen Dingye chuckled: "Go back?"

"You don't know, I can't turn back."

He paused for a long time, then suddenly opened his mouth and said:
"Tell me, if I die, how will the people of the world evaluate me?"

"What will my descendants say about me?"

He said this softly.

Ye Zhongdao said, Zhou Xianping didn't know how to answer.

This king, who was as cold and cunning as a poisonous dragon, at this moment revealed a kind of sharpness that did not belong to the past, as if he was ruthless and cruel in suppressing dissidents and taking back power, and was determined to die for his country at all costs.

Two extremely contradictory sides converge in one person.

Chen Dingye smiled and said, "Let's go to the ending we deserve."

"To the end of this journey, you are so brave, could you accompany me?"

On the night of Zhongdao, Zhou Xianping knelt on one knee and saluted with a solemn expression.

"I am willing to be driven by your majesty."

Chen Dingye laughed: "Then let your children leave the family."

"The old generation like us should put an end to ourselves. Stop restricting them. Your sons are with Qin Wuhou, but Wen Mian is also there. Who they will follow in the end depends on the future."

"I know what you say about me behind my back, just as you said."

"I am not a loyal and filial person."

"Why should loyalty and filial piety be used to restrain the children of ministers?"

It was late at night and Zhou Xianping was so frightened that he could not speak.

Chen Dingye looked at them with a look of contempt, coldness and murderous intent, but in the end it turned into a sigh and an indescribable spirit, and he laughed out loud: "Even so, your last journey will be with someone like me."

"Let this be the punishment for you two!"

Chen Dingye led his troops out again, and even in the face of the First Divine General, he still took the initiative to charge into the battle line. The Chen army's fear of the First Divine General disappeared when the emperor led the army in person.

Am I not you?

Even so.

He died for his country on the battlefield.

"Da Chen, 100% victory!!!"

…………

The battlefields of Chen State, Ying State and the Central Plains took a brief break because of this.

Yuwen Lie was transferred away.

Jiang Yuan had no way to continue to gain military merit from this brave general, but he was relieved instead: "In the Western Frontier, there is the Wolf King, Li Guanyi, and the Heavenly Khan. Humph, even He Ruo Qinhu was defeated. Yuwen Lie?"

"Ha, it's no use going there!"

Jiang Yuan himself was a little conflicted. As the prince of Ying State, he certainly did not want the empire to lose Xiyi City and a large area of ​​territory to the west. But as the second prince, he wished that Yuwen Lie would be defeated on the battlefield!

Yuwen Lie was born into the Yuwen family, with a very high status. He was noble and elegant at a young age, and his martial arts and methods were all top-notch. When he was in his teens, he was a handsome and noble young man of the Yuwen family, with a spear, a jade crown and a dragon horse, and was famous in the capital.

He is cold, arrogant, and has very high standards. He only drinks the best wine and rides the bravest divine horse.

Because of this cold and arrogant character, Yuwen Lie simply looked down on Jiang Yuan, who was not the eldest son and was incompetent. Even though Jiang Yuan had undergone earth-shaking changes in the past year or so and had already gained a reputation as a virtuous person in Ying State.

But Yuwen Lie still looked at him as if he were a piece of garbage.

Every time he saluted, Jiang Yuan would have a feeling that "if your father was not the emperor, how could someone like you have the qualifications to be in front of me."

This cold and arrogant general hardly puts on any acting.

Jiang Yuan pretended to be kind on the surface, but after returning, his face was often distorted and he was extremely angry about this. He also cursed the common people. Although he was called the military supervisor, Yuwen Lie was galloping on the battlefield and did not listen to his advice at all.

But because they didn't listen to his advice, they often won big.

This made Jiang Yuan's mentality unbalanced, so he was extremely resentful towards this top general, but because of the situation in the world, he was even more entangled and difficult to make up his mind. In the end, he just hated it without saying a word and sighed: "Hateful, hateful!"

"Why do you need to be in this world, big brother?"

"If it weren't for you, wouldn't such a divine general still be under my command?"

"Since you say we have a deep brotherly love."

"Why don't you just die?"

Under the watchful eyes of the people of the world, this vigorous battle finally broke out when Li Guanyi and Lu Youxian pushed the battle line to half of its original position.

Yuwen Lie's central army directly attacked the Wolf King's central army.

The tiger battle flag is flying high.

The divine general wearing ink armor takes the lead!
The fourth in the world - versus - the fifth in the world!
