Transmigration begins with archery training

"

Chihiro kept her head down and walked.

Vaguely.

Chen Sanshi seemed to hear a cold snort.

He had heard that spirit beasts and demons often had very long lifespans, so in any case, warhorses could accompany him for a long time.

From Poyang onwards, he experienced all the battles, big and small, with his white swan horse.

This battle at Guandu will likely be another desperate struggle.

As they drew closer to the city, Chen Sanshi's mind shifted from cultivation to the grim reality of war. The city's food supplies were dwindling day by day; if things continued like this, they would truly face a slow death.

In fact, he found the weakness of the military genius Han Xiang after the Battle of the Wasteland, but the opportunity to attack that weakness has not yet appeared.

"Buzz!"

Just as Chen Sanshi was pondering a strategy to defeat the enemy, he suddenly sensed someone approaching from behind. A flash of inspiration appeared, and the Black Serpent Bow silently materialized, its Stream Arrow pointing skyward, ready to be unleashed.

I saw.

In the night sky.

A man with an otherworldly air and an ethereal presence arrived on a sword.

Qi refining is complete!

Chen Sanshi was not afraid. He had opened six of the Eight Views Divine Caves. Even if he couldn't win, he could protect himself and leave. Not to mention that Wang Jun and the others would arrive soon after the whistle rang out.

"Brother, you didn't even ask who I am before you were so eager to attack?"

The man stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the ground with disdain.

Since the other party speaks in this way, it means they are neither from the imperial court nor from Fallen Leaf Valley.

Chen Sanshi said in a deep voice, "Brother, just say what you want to say, why beat around the bush?"

"I am Cui Zichen, the owner of the Seeking Immortals Pavilion."

The man announced his name in the night wind.

"Seeking Immortals Pavilion?"

Chen Sanshi guessed who had sent this person almost without thinking.

The twelfth prince, Cao Zhi.

Back in Ziwu Mountain, he discovered that Cao Zhi had a close relationship with Xunxian Tower. He just didn't expect that the master of Xunxian Tower would have the cultivation of Qi Refining Perfection. It seems that with a thousand years of history, there must be a great treasure hidden there.

"Brother Chen, rest assured, I am not here for those two traitors from Xunxian Tower."

Cui Zichen said leisurely, "I am here today specifically to help you."

"Help me?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "How do you intend to help?"

"I'll save your life."

Looking towards Guandu, Cui Zichen said in a natural tone, "Guandu has pursuers ahead and no way to retreat. The day your supplies run out will be your death day. So, there's no need for you to waste any more time here. Just leave with me. Only I can safely send you away."

"Then, where to go?"

Chen Sanshi put away the Black Serpent Bow: "The capital?"

"Brother Chen is indeed clever."

Cui Zichen urged, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Forget it."

Chen Sanshi said calmly, "I, Chen Sanshi, am a commander. The words 'desertion in the face of battle' do not exist in my mind."

"Oh?"

Cui Zichen joked, "Even if it's a death trap?"

Even if it's a death trap.

Chen Sanshi gave an affirmative answer: "If you really want to help me, why don't you stay and lend a hand?"

"Help?"

Cui Zichen sneered: "Someone in the rear wants you dead. Even if I wanted to help, it would probably be a futile effort."

"Is it really that you don't want to..."

Chen Sanshi paused, then questioned, "Still unwilling?"

The moment this person appeared, he knew what Cao Zhi wanted to do.

It was nothing more than wanting to get himself to the capital to help overthrow Yan, so that the Prince of Jin's family would be the only ones in power in the court.

and……

Cao Zhi probably didn't actually want to win this battle.

Because a guilty verdict is required for a conviction.

What could be better evidence than the massacre of 150,000 people at Guandu?!

just like.

The former crown prince's faction held evidence of the Yunzhou Massacre, yet they did nothing to stop it from happening. They needed deaths, they needed their enemies to make mistakes, and they needed to hold the enemy's "weaknesses" in their hands.

It's another "partisan struggle"!

In the end, all the fighting is for the throne.

After the influx of cultivators, the significance of the "Dragon Throne" became even greater in a sense, because whoever sat in that position was qualified to compete for the resources of the entire Eastern Continent.

Cui Zichen spoke again: "So, you're saying you're not leaving?"

"..."

Chen Sanshi ignored him and rode away on Qianxun.

"I hope you will consider it carefully."

Behind him, Cui Zichen's voice still echoed: "Come back to me when you've figured things out."

……

"Om-long——"

The city gates were wide open.

Chen Sanshi went straight to the military camp.

Along the way, many soldiers of the Imperial Guard made way for him and whispered among themselves.

These soldiers thought their voices were very quiet.

But Chen Sanshi heard it all clearly.

"I...I heard that our food is about to run out."

"How do you know it?"

“I saw it with my own eyes: the granary clerk put all the grain out to make it look like there was a lot, but in reality there was hardly any left.”

"The grain supplies are a small matter, but the affairs of the three prefectures are a big deal! You all don't know this, do you? The three prefectures have betrayed the country, and now they have blocked us at Guandu!"

"real or fake?"

"Absolutely true!"

"..."

Although Chen Sanshi had given orders not to reveal the latest news to the soldiers.

But secrets can't be kept forever; eventually, the truth will come out.

The situation is becoming increasingly dire.

Return to the central command tent.

When Chen Sanshi saw Wang Jun waiting there, he sat down in the commander's seat and asked, "How are the three prefectures?"

"They were very determined to betray us, especially the garrison commander."

Wang Jun shook his head slightly: "Even if we offer a higher price than Fallen Leaf Valley, it won't sway them."

"That's normal."

Chu Shixiong said, "They also know very well that betraying and then surrendering will never end well."

Wang Jun continued, "Your Prince Zhennan also dispatched some troops to attack, but it had virtually no effect. It's almost impossible to take it before the supplies run out."

"Rather than relying on this."

"Recently, there have been a few people in the Western Qi army who have expressed their intention to surrender. These are the names and correspondence; you can take a look."

Chen Sanshi took the secret letter and read it through one by one.

"There is a cultivator from Fallen Leaf Valley named Yan Yingli, who is in a similar situation to Ma Zhen. For the sake of the clan's prosperity, he is willing to act as our inside man, and our Ascending Cloud Sect can agree to all his conditions. However, his position is not high, and he is responsible for cooperating with the rangers on patrols, so he can basically not provide us with important intelligence."

"In addition, there are several other generals, most of whom have children with spiritual roots, but their aptitude is mediocre and they did not qualify to enter Falling Leaf Valley, so they want to come to Ascending Cloud Sect."

"Some people are also caught in internal factional struggles, their future is uncertain, and they want to find a way to secure a future."

"The most noteworthy is an advisor named Liao Fang."

“I know this person.”

Chu Shixiong took over and said, "This 'Liao Fang' is quite a figure in Western Qi. He is considered the top strategist in Western Qi and is known as the 'White-Robed Strategist'."

"But in recent years... this title has fallen into the hands of adults."
