A total of 15,000 soldiers.

At last.

The troop mobilization had been going on for seven days and was about to end.

Two more battalions of soldiers arrived in Liangzhou City one after another.

What followed was a major announcement.

Zhuge Liang destroys Wei!

a year ago.

Xu Wencai was ordered to go east of Youzhou. In just four months, he quelled all the rebellions. Instead of withdrawing his troops, he obtained approval from the Ministry of War and marched eastward. Within six months, he captured more than forty cities. Two months ago, he captured the capital of Wei and took the Wei emperor prisoner.

Even though Wei was a small country, it was still a country after all.

among them.

It is said that Xu Wencai was a prophet with uncanny foresight and brilliant strategies. His military formations were almost identical to those of the White Robe, and his numerous ingenious schemes also made him famous throughout the world.

He was granted the title of Pillar of the State (first rank) and appointed as General Who Guards the State.

The world ranks the four sages of military strategy in our time, and three of them are from the northern border of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

then.

The imperial court changed the garrison system into camps, and specially set up two camps for Xu Wencai.

Zhenbiao Camp and Beifu Camp.

The configuration of the two battalions was no different from that of the rest of the Northern Liang army.

He was only temporarily stationed in Liangzhou, mainly to assist in the campaign against the grasslands. After that, he was said to be heading south or guarding the western border.

"This old guy..."

The brothers in Poyang all looked incredulous upon hearing the news.

"The country will be destroyed!"

"Although the State of Wei is not large, it is still a state!"

"This old fellow is so weak he can't even kill a chicken, yet he can actually keep a group of military officers in check?!"

"..."

Under the spotlight.

The imposing garrison of the town marched across the city gate.

At the very front.

That was Xu Wencai.

However, this person did not ride a horse, but sat on a cart, and his clothes and appearance were very elegant and extravagant.

"Hey!"

"That old bastard!"

"He's perfectly healthy with legs, why is he in a wheelchair?"

"He's probably a school general!"

"ridiculous!"

"..."

Another day.

The grand troop mobilization concluded at dusk.

The troop mobilization did not involve gathering all the troops together.

After the rest of the troops had finished their inspection, only the commander remained, having already left.

Nowadays, there aren't many people left in the training ground.

The various generals of the Northern Liang army gathered together to prepare for a banquet to get to know each other, since they would soon be fighting against the grasslands and would be comrades-in-arms.

"Congratulations, Lord Xu!"

"Indeed, Lord Xu, you are a late bloomer!"

"..."

"Greetings, Lord Chen!"

"I have long admired General Chen's name, and today I am finally able to see his face in person. I am extremely fortunate!"

"..."

The generals greeted each other.

"Master Xu."

Chen Sanshi also stepped forward and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Congratulations! Your achievement in destroying a country is worthy of being recorded in history."

Never thought.

Xu Wencai glanced at him, merely grunted in response, and then went to chat with others, almost ignoring him.

This scene.

The other generals, seeing this, were all taken aback.

They had heard that the two were at odds, but they didn't expect it to be to this extent, that they didn't even bother to pretend otherwise.

"Old Wu, do you know what happened?"

"I heard that after Xu Wencai made meritorious contributions, Lord Chen kept quiet about it and wanted to keep him firmly under his control."

"This is ruining someone's future!"

"It's no different from killing your parents."

"No wonder, no wonder!"

"..."

Ever since.

The story spread far and wide.

Almost everyone in Liangzhou knew about it.

Chen Sanshi and Xu Wencai were at odds.

The men on both sides fought each other several times, even to the point of drawing blood, and were severely punished.

"What a bastard!"

"Kill this old bastard!"

"Killing him wouldn't be the answer!"

"Find a chance to put a sack over his head and beat him up!"

"okay!"

Zhao Kang rebuked, "We'll just cut ties from now on. Why have we come to this point of fighting to the death?"

"go!"

"The master told us to go to him in silence tonight, so it must be something important."

"..."

……

The Governor's Office.

Chen Sanshi sat in the pavilion by the lake behind the mountain and briefly recounted his encounter at the ends of the earth, hoping to understand the ins and outs of the matter.

“In a sense, you can be considered an immortal, but you haven’t delved deeply into the path of immortality. Now that things have come to this, there’s no need to hide anything from you anymore.”

Fang Qingyun said in a deep voice: "The fifty-sixth year of Longqing, yes, the year before the sixth prince's entire army was wiped out."

"My master discovered an ancient tomb in the far north, beneath a glacier."

"A monk's tomb?"

Chen Sanshi guessed.

"I guess so, to be precise, it was a battlefield."

Fang Qingyun said, "Master opened the ancient tomb, but was injured and forced to return to Liangzhou temporarily."

"The injuries were very serious at the time."

"After the imperial court found out, it took the opportunity to fabricate charges against my master and imprison him, preparing to take action against the then-powerful Eight Great Camps."

"As a result, the following year, Nanxu launched a large-scale northward expedition."

"During this period."

“I went to the far north in place of my master. At that time, I was already a martial saint.”

"I encountered the people from the imperial court in the cemetery, and we each obtained something."

"After that, I also went to the ends of the earth."

"To make a long story short, when I come back, I'll look like the person you see now—a cripple."

At the same time.

"Nanxu's advance was unstoppable, and they had no choice but to release their master again."

"After the war ended."

"Master has been to the far north again."

"But I don't know the specifics."

"All I know is that after returning, Master's strength increased dramatically again. The Spirit Extinction Array you mentioned, and the guardian of the Eastern Divine Continent, may be related to the far north. I don't know the specific details."

"All I know is that the imperial court also gained a lot of good things from it, enough to train many martial saints and Xuanxiang generals."

"That's what happened with the explosive growth of the past few years."

The far north...

Chen Sanshi asked, "Senior brother, do you still remember Mr. Mei?"

"Are you asking if it has anything to do with Mr. Mei?"

Fang Qingyun shook his head slightly, indicating uncertainty: "In short, you don't need to worry about Master. He will definitely return safely before things are finished."

We talked about everything under the sun.

Chen Sanshi brought up the matter of military power again.

This time, Fang Qingyun only gave a wry smile and remained silent.

"Senior brother, what do you mean?"

Chen Sanshi said, "Are we just going to let it go like this?"

Now it's a matter of power.

He figured the next step would be to move people.

"Junior brother."

The scholar in the blue robe spread his hands: "The imperial court has long coveted the Eight Great Camps."

"Now we've finally found an opportunity."

"The conquest of the grasslands may well be the last dance."

"After this, who can the Eighth Battalion rely on?"

"People praise me unjustly, calling me Mr. Phoenix Chick, but in the end, I am just a disabled and useless person."
