Cao Huan paced anxiously back and forth in front of the sand table: "General Chen ordered me to command all the soldiers of the Hongze Camp to march out of the Great Wall tonight to prepare to take over the enemy camp and prisoners at Tiger Hill. General Fang, what do you think we should do?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, General Chen will not act rashly."

"Since he's gone, let's do as he says."

"Yes."

Zhao Wuji, who was also stationed in Liangzhou, added, "General Chen must be using some ingenious plan, which requires a large force to support him. It would be bad if it were delayed."

"In that case, let's do it that way."

The Sixth Prince, Cao Huan, waved his hand and said, "Quickly issue the order for the soldiers of Hongze Camp to leave the city from the due north direction and head straight for Tiger Hill. They must reach their destination within one day."

The Hongze Camp has 15,000 men, all of whom are cavalry, making them extremely valuable.

Of course, the most precious one is Chen Sanshi.

If anything were to happen to him, the loss would be far more than just 15,000 people.

Previously, he was under house arrest in the capital.

Cao Huan obtained all his information from the outside world through intelligence reports, and through letters, he saw seemingly fabricated achievements such as "crossing the Hongze River four times" and "three thousand defeating one hundred thousand".

He was thinking about it at the time.

What must the commanders-in-chief, who were in charge of these battles, have felt about having such a consistently surprising general under their command?

now……

Cao Huan understood.

This is not a surprise.

This is terrifying!

I was absolutely terrified!

Because they had no idea what would happen next, it felt like they weren't in a military camp, but in a casino, and they were like gamblers, constantly adding to their bets.

And Chen Sanshi was the one who rolled the dice.

Before he opened the lid.

Nobody knows what the outcome will be.

After the matter was settled.

Fang Qingyun pushed the wheelchair into the courtyard and looked up at the heavy snowfall: "Liangzhou hasn't had such heavy snow for many years."

"A timely snowfall promises a bumper harvest."

Cao Huan followed him out, wearing a black cloak: "Why is this snow so cold?"

"Report——"

"Your Highness!"

"The Twelfth Prince has arrived!"

"Twelfth brother?"

Hear the words.

Cao Huan tightened his cloak and personally went out to greet him.

Amidst the swirling snow, the twelfth prince, Cao Zhi, rode up on horseback. He dismounted, smiled, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Prince Zhao."

"Twelfth Brother, is such formality necessary between us?"

The Sixth Prince Cao Huan helped him up: "It's good that you've come. Now I have an assistant by my side. For you, being able to participate in such a large-scale battle is also a valuable experience."

"Thank you, Sixth Brother, for giving me this opportunity to gain experience."

Cao Zhi craned his neck and peered inside: "Where is General Chen?"

"gone."

Cao Huan truthfully replied, "I led eight hundred scouts to annihilate the enemy."

"Scouts, annihilate the enemy?"

Cao Zhi looked up: "Sixth Brother, what are you saying?"

"Oh, that's right."

Cao Huan explained the situation.

"Sixth Brother, let me go too."

Cao Zhi said, "I will go to Tiger Hill with the Hongze Battalion from the city!"

"Alright."

Cao Huan instructed, "Be careful in everything."

"Don't worry, Sixth Brother."

Cao Zhi dismounted and then hurriedly mounted his horse again, heading straight towards the military camp.

……

Luotian Mountains.

Two centenarians walk side by side.

"Zizhan".

Cao Kai spoke slowly, "Have you really entrusted such a crucial battle entirely to them?"

Sun Xiangzong walked forward with his hands behind his back, occasionally gently pushing aside the plants blocking his way, ignoring the emperor's question.

"Haha, that's fine."

Cao Kai said to himself, "The younger generation in the Northern Territory are all outstanding. Even without their predecessors paving the way, they will definitely be able to win this battle."

Just at this time.

A gyrfalcon flew by.

"As soon as we talk about the war, the intelligence comes in."

Because I don't want anyone to know I'm here.

The Longqing Emperor used only ordinary gyrfalcons. He slowly opened the intelligence report, and after reading it, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly: "Interesting. Your closed-door disciple led eight hundred scouts to raid the camp."

"Speaking of which, why is the barbarian's plan so strange this time?"

"Why aren't they attacking Liangzhou, but instead they're attacking Youzhou? What are they planning to do?"

"That's something I'll have to ask you."

Sun Xiangzong said coldly, "Will Youzhou open its gates in a few days and let the barbarians in willingly?"

“Sun Xiangzong, stop talking nonsense.”

The Longqing Emperor denied it, saying, "Youzhou is a strategically important place. How could I let a tiger into a sheepfold?"

"There's nothing you can't do; it's just a matter of whether you want to or not."

Sun Xiangzong stopped and stared at the twelfth mountain in front of him, which was the core part of the Luotian Mountain Range. His voice became a little heavy: "However, I must remind you."

"If the evil veins are not resolved..."

"Not to mention the suffering of the people, I'm afraid even your Cao family's empire will be lost."

in front of them.

It was clear that cultivators were flying in the sky and then landing in the deep mountains.

"Recently, I have also consulted ancient books."

Emperor Longqing narrowed his eyes: "After this evil vein is revived, the ancient demon race in the cultivation world will be able to be freed from the suppression of the Heavenly Dao and descend to the mortal world. Afterwards, they will use evil energy to invade the Eastern Divine Continent and transform it into an environment suitable for their cultivation."

"so.

"Is their collection of martial artists' heart blood related to the revival of the evil veins?"

"This is all thanks to His Majesty's help."

Sun Xiangzong said, "Otherwise, how could such a large-scale blood sacrifice be formed so easily?"

"enough!"

Cao Kai's voice echoed with the roar of a dragon from his sleeve, each word spoken with fury: "I will join you in severing this evil vein and then exterminate these demons! Once the war is over and the north is pacified, the world will be at peace!"

"I will create a second Longqing era of prosperity, and peace will descend!"

Sun Xiangzong shook his head slightly and quickened his pace.

……

Tiger Hill.

Snowflakes drifted down, and a chill filled the air.

"Oh no, a patrol team of brothers has gone missing."

"It's that night watchman's gun!"

"Quick, there's movement ahead!"

"..."

Upon discovering the anomaly, a small cavalry squad from the barbarian tribes ventured out to investigate. Amidst the heavy snowfall, they could vaguely make out a figure approaching them.

"Our own brothers?"

"Barbarian General Haribari asked in a loud voice."

no respond.

They could only hear the sound of horses' hooves rapidly approaching, and their figures in the heavy snow became clearer and clearer.

It was a white horse.

On horseback sat a young general. He wore no armor, but a long robe the same color as the snow. A long spear was slung over his horse, and in his hand he held a large black iron bow. When he could see clearly, the iron bow was already drawn to its full extent amidst the swirling, blinding snow, and a dark-colored arrow was aimed at his face.

White robes, white horse, long spear, great bow...

Could it be?!

Haribari was horrified.
