The two governments had just won an unprecedented victory in the north, and the military government was full of confidence from top to bottom.
In Marquis Le Jun's view, nothing was invincible under Feizhou Xuanbing, and he did not take the so-called enemies in the wilderness at all.
And the reason why he came so quickly this time was because there were a large number of generals who were promoted for their merits in the northern war.
However, there was always a group of people who were afraid of the cruelty of war and did not participate in the northern war. But now, they are trying to gain enough achievements from Shuangzhou.
Judging from the battle reports they learned, Xuanfu easily defeated Shuangzhou's offensive and successfully raided Shuangzhou's own continent, forcing Shuangzhou not to dare to take the lead.
From this point of view, Shuangzhou's combat effectiveness is really not strong, so it is a good target for them to make contributions and gain merit.
At Yue Junhou's insistence, the Tianjiyuan garrison no longer heeded Zhang Yu's warning and began to build a military fortress and a boat rooftop in the wilderness.
This is the bridgehead for the attack on Shuangzhou. After all, Qingyang Shangzhou does not have the secret box skills of the Shuangzhou people. It is impossible for a flying boat carrying Xuan soldiers to continuously fly thousands or even tens of thousands of miles to attack the enemy.
It must be advanced layer by layer with military barriers just like the Taibo gods and monsters. Of course, to deal with Shuangzhou, it is not necessary to use the power of the entire continent like to deal with the gods and monsters. The material resources of just a few border states are enough to support it.
The established military fortresses are not useless after the war. Military towns can be built around these places and the vast wasteland can be brought back into the effective control range.
Because preparations were made in advance and all kinds of materials were abundant, in just five or six days, thanks to the efforts of Tianjiyuan's various creations, several military fortresses were erected on the wasteland.
Zhang Yuzi also saw new actions in Tianjiyuan after the arrival of the people in the military mansion. He had already given advice. Since these people refused to listen, he would not say more.
However, he will still send a notice to the two houses as a last warning, lest any problems arise and be blamed on Xuanfu.
In the past few days, in addition to dealing with some necessary matters, he spent most of his time practicing and preparing for the possible battle.
On this day, a disciple came to report: "Xuanzheng, a Taoist priest has come to Lingmiao Xuanjing."
Zhang Yu sent the letter that day and had been waiting for a response from Lingmiao Xuanjing. Hearing that someone was already there, he waved the disciple to leave and walked out.
The person who came was a young monk with his hair tied in light robes. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. He slapped Zhang Yu and said, "This is Zhang Xuanzheng. I'm Yu Fu. I'm here for this trip."
It’s to take Uncle Mo’s soul back.”
Zhang Yu flicked his sleeves, and the sword on the case that originally belonged to Mo Guangchen suddenly floated towards him.
He said: "Fellow Taoist Mo's soul is stored here, but when I communicated with him, I couldn't get a response. I'm not sure how much it can be retained."
Mo Chenguang's consciousness was controlled by others before, and his soul was also damaged to a certain extent. It was only thanks to the fact that the sword was connected to his mind that it was already a part of him.
Yu Fu looked a little more solemn, raised his hands and stepped forward to take it. He took out a roll of shining cloth and wrapped the sword. Then his expression calmed, he looked at Zhang Yu again, cupped his hands and said: "Zhang Xuanzheng, I'm here
As entrusted by my master, I have a question that I would like to ask Xuan Zheng."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Fellow Taoist, please tell me."
Yu Fu asked: "The letter from Xuan Zheng said that Uncle Mo was manipulated by others and his consciousness was influenced, so he fought with Xuan Zheng in this station. I wonder if Xuan Zheng knew the identity of the person behind it."
What?"
Zhang Yu replied: "We can't be completely sure yet, but when Taoist friend Mo Mo was about to leave, he pointed out the figure of this person to me. I looked at it and found that it is most likely the ancestor Yuantong."
"Ancestor Yuantong?"
Yu Fu showed a look of surprise.
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and pointed, and a young man with red eyes and fair skin immediately appeared next to him. He said: "This is what Taoist Fellow Mo finally showed."
Yu Fu looked at it a few times and took note of it carefully. However, this picture alone could not explain much, because anyone could create such a thing.
He thought for a while and said seriously: "Well, I'm not questioning Zhang Xuanzheng, I just want to ask, does Zhang Xuanzheng have any clear evidence for this?"
Zhang Yudao: "No matter whether this person is the Yuantong Patriarch or not, since he uses Fellow Daoist Mo to deal with me, as long as I am still here, this person will definitely not stop here. If Fellow Daoist Yu is willing, he can
If you stay here for a little longer, you will definitely be able to see the results."
Yu Fu was a little embarrassed. He was here to take Mo Guangchen's soul back. If he stayed here, he didn't know how long he would stay. But when he was thinking about it, the sword in his hand suddenly vibrated.
He was slightly startled, then sighed: "Uncle Mo, do you also want to stay?" He looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Then I'm sorry."
Tianjiyuan moved extremely quickly. Before the New Year, several military fortresses were basically built, and more than a thousand soldiers brought by Le Junhou were all stationed in five military fortresses distributed in different directions.
Although these sergeants cannot go back to celebrate the New Year, there are not many people complaining. They came here just to win credit for the Battle of Shuangzhou. If it were not for the end of the year, there would be fewer people to fight with them this time.
They will definitely get their turn.
However, their life was not miserable. Although it was bone-chilling cold in the wasteland, there were various sources of creative heat in the military fortress, which made it as warm as spring.
And because the war with the Taibo gods and monsters has just ended, all the remaining materials are being transferred here, so not only is there no shortage of food and clothing, it can also be said to be extremely abundant and rich.
In addition, because the expedition to Shuangzhou has not yet begun and it is on New Year's Eve, the control in the camp is not so strict. Many sergeants with good family backgrounds also brought some creators who are good at singing and dancing, specifically for
To add fun to the New Year banquet.
Marquis Lejun also turned a blind eye to this. He couldn't afford to offend many of these sergeants. Before the New Year, as long as he didn't go too far, he could just use it as a morale booster.
However, he still arranged the necessary sentry posts and did not neglect them. It was one thing that he did not take Xuanfu's warning to heart, but if he completely ignored the warning, he would be asking for death.
Time soon came to New Year's Eve in the 377th year of the Daxuan Calendar.
While the soldiers in the military base were celebrating the annual banquet, in the deep and endless night sky, a young man with red eyes and fair skin appeared there.
He looked at the shimmering military fortress on the wasteland, stretched out his hand to grab it, and in an instant, hundreds of evil ghosts completely condensed with evil spirits emerged on the surface, and then silently moved towards the military fortress.
Rush away.
The military fortress was built very tall and strong, and there were also created Message Birds used as warnings all around.
When these messenger birds discovered these evil spirits, they neighed at the first moment.
The soldiers on guard immediately woke up and shouted: "Enemy attack!" At the same moment, the sharp warning sound echoed over the entire military fortress.
All the sergeants who were celebrating the New Year reacted immediately. Their outer armor quickly spread and covered their whole bodies. They greeted each other and cooperated. In a short period of time, they organized several battle formations, rushed out of the inner hall, and faced the evil spirit in front.
ghost.
Even though most of these sergeants are preparing to come to Shuangzhou to gain credit for their qualifications, all of them have undergone complete military training in the academy, and each of them has an observer on their side to make correct suggestions.
It was the correct response at the first opportunity.
At this time, a huge dragon of creation flew out of the military fortress, hovering in the sky, and from time to time a rainbow light sprayed down. As soon as those evil spirits touched it, they immediately disintegrated without a trace.
Ancestor Yuantong looked at this scene from a distance and was a little surprised. He originally thought that he could kill the mortals in these camps easily, but he didn't expect that not only could these evil spirits not be able to attack for a while, but now it seems that they are still being wiped out.
possible.
This was actually the first time he saw these mysterious armors and creations, and he suddenly realized that the world seemed different from what he had seen before.
It has been more than fifty years since he was beheaded, but in fact, before that, he had not interacted with the mortal world for hundreds of years.
In fact, for a high-ranking monk like him, who possesses earth-shaking abilities, he doesn't need to care about these things. Even if he knows about it, he just laughs it off.
But now, he is just a remnant soul, and his strength is much less than before, so he cannot completely ignore these things.
But even so, it would just make him spend more time.
He stood still, but with a thought, boundless evil energy surged within a radius of more than a hundred miles, and swept towards the military fortress in the middle!
Inside the Tianjiyuan station, Marquis Yue was hosting a banquet for Chang Gu and the craftsmen stationed at the Tianjiyuan station. He toasted Chang Gu with a glass of wine and said: "Mr. Chang, your military fortress was built very quickly, but I don't know how long it will take."
Can we speed up the progress a little more?"
Chang Gu said seriously: "I did it strictly in accordance with the regulations of Tianjiyuan."
Le Junhou said: "I know, I know, but Mr. Chang, sometimes you don't need to be so rigid. You know, the military fortresses being built now are all located in the rear. When the war begins, the Shuangzhou people will have too much time to take care of themselves.
If we don’t go deep enough, why should we follow the regulations everywhere?
Especially after the Chinese New Year, the army will arrive. According to the current progress, we are still a little slow. As long as Mr. Chang can be a little accommodating, it will be good for you and me."
At this moment, a sergeant rushed in hurriedly, clasping his fists and saying: "Marquis Lejun, it's not good, something happened."
Hearing these words, Marquis Lejun frowned and said displeased: "What's the matter? Are you so impatient?"
The sergeant looked pale and said: "Military fortress, the military fortress we built on the wasteland was destroyed."
Marquis Lejun's expression tightened, he suddenly stood up, stared down, and asked nervously: "Where is it?"
The sergeant trembled: "All, all," he tried to steady his voice, "All the military fortresses built after our arrival have been destroyed. The number of casualties among soldiers is currently uncountable..."
