Chapter 219: Raising Troops to the North, Familiar Memories!

Inside the palace, the ministers were silent.

The terrifying sense of oppression filled everyone's heart.

Su Zheng was so angry that he lost his composure. He stood up and shouted angrily: "They are so bold. They asked for 5 cities and 10,000 women right away. They even dared to set their sights on my daughter?"

"What do they think I am? A pig in a pen? My Shenhuang Ancient Country has not yet perished!"

He was furious for a long time, and his strength was exhausted. He sat back on the dragon chair with his hands on his knees, panting: "My dear ministers, tell me what you think about this matter!"

Hearing this, a middle-aged military officer with a resolute face stood up first.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, no matter the conditions proposed by Zishu Country or Changsong Country, there is absolutely no possibility of agreeing. I want to fight to the death. I beg Your Majesty to send 300,000 elite troops. I am willing to take orders as the vanguard of the army to defeat the enemy and protect my Shenhuang without worries!"

As soon as the voice fell, another civil servant with an elegant face stood up.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army is approaching. This is a matter of life and death for our Shenhuang. We must not act on impulse with reckless courage!"

At this point, he glanced at the middle-aged military officer and continued: "Our Shenhuang has been fighting for years, and our national strength has declined. We are no longer as glorious as we were in the past. The national force is only 500,000. You want to take away 300,000. 300,000 vs. 500,000. They have the advantage. Once we lose the war, our Shenhuang will be doomed."

"Old man, what do you think we should do? Are we really going to cede the city and population to them?"

The military officer was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He only hated that he had no advantage in talking. He almost rushed up to fight with him on the spot.

"It is definitely not possible to cede directly!"

"In my opinion, we can first agree to the conditions of Zishu Kingdom and cede five border towns to them, which can not only allow them to withdraw their troops, but also reduce the pressure on our national defense!"

The middle-aged civil servant said: "After Zishu Kingdom withdraws its troops, only 150,000 troops of Changshun Kingdom will be left. At that time, 300,000 vs. 150,000, we have the advantage and can defeat them!"

In fact, he hoped to agree to the conditions of Changshun Kingdom.

Because although Changshun Kingdom only occupies 150,000 of the army, their national style has always been fierce, brave and good at fighting, and proficient in evil arts, which is more terrifying than Zishu Kingdom.

It's just that Changshun Kingdom's request includes Princess Wuyou.

Not only is she the jewel in the palm of His Majesty's hand, but she is also the wife of the "King of Zhengwang" in the current dynasty.

With these two identities, he really didn't dare to speak up. He was afraid that once he said it, his head would have to move on the spot.

At this time, another general jumped out and sprayed him passionately.

"The thief is ruining the country!"

"Now our Shenhuang country is in danger, with less than 100 cities left, and you open your mouth to cede five cities, five cities today, and five cities tomorrow, and then you can sleep well for one night, look around, and the Zishu army is here again!"

"Then what do you say? Just rush up and die?"

"Your Majesty, we want to fight to the death, you can't surrender first!"

"Your Majesty..."

Seeing the solemn and solemn court quarreling again, saliva flying everywhere, Su Zheng felt a headache, rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and said: "Okay, stop quarreling!"

Hearing the words of His Majesty.

These ministers stopped arguing very tactfully and stood back to their original positions.

"Brother Qi, what do you think?" Su Zheng asked.

In his mind, the only variable to break this deadlock is Qi Sui.

Qi Sui yawned and said nonchalantly: "What can I think? Just fight!"

Su Zheng was slightly stunned and said: "How to fight?"

"Make friends with distant countries and attack nearby countries. All the countries bordering Shenhuang, no matter how many there are, declare war on them all!"

Qi Sui has his own considerations.

He can't stay in the light curtain fragment for too long, so he must cut the Gordian knot.

First, help the Shenhuang Ancient Country resolve the crisis and gain time to breathe and develop.

Second, the large-scale fighting on the battlefield can provide him with a lot of experience needed for career upgrades.

And there is no need to worry about causing psychological burden. After all, this is the world of light curtain fragments. The feeling of killing many people is different from the real world. Just treat them as experience monsters or NPCs in the game.

"Ah? Declare war on all? Then how can we win?"

Su Zheng was even more confused.

Although he could understand every word the other party said, why did he feel that he didn't understand it together?

"I can go to the battle myself, as long as your majesty's 50,000... no, 30,000 elite soldiers are enough!" Qi Sui said.

"But..."

Su Zheng wanted to say something, but Qi Sui stood up with a convincing smile on his face: "I wonder if your majesty is willing to gamble the fate of the country and let me fight!"

Thinking for three seconds.

Su Zheng slammed the table and shouted: "Okay, then Brother Qi, I will give you 50,000 elite soldiers, please lead the army in person to fight against the coalition forces of Zishu and Changshun. If you can win, then I will fully support you in all your requests in the future!"

"Your Majesty, you must not do that!"

"Your Majesty, that's 50,000 elite soldiers!"

"You can't die in vain!"

"..."

In an instant, the Golden Palace was in chaos again.

Five thousand against five hundred thousand, it looks like a death wish!

Even if there is a national god-level combat power like Qi Sui, don't the other two countries have it?

Besides, ants can kill elephants. Even if the national god-level combat power is surrounded by an endless army, it can only die in battle.

"That's enough. I have made up my mind!"

Su Zheng's face darkened.

Of course he knew that the possibility of winning was slim, but he had no choice. Would others let him go if he didn't fight?

Seeing this, many ministers stopped arguing tactfully.

"Okay, from today, I will declare war on Zishu and Changshou!"

"Appoint Qi Sui, the king of Zhenguo, as the Grand Marshal of the Army of the World, and lead 50,000 elite soldiers to the border Jianmen Pass to fight!"

"I will also lead the army in person in this battle!"

Every word of Su Zheng showed his determination to burn his boats.

The faces of the ministers in the court changed slightly, knowing that the situation in the world was about to change drastically. They didn't believe that Qi Sui could win this battle at all, and they were already planning their escape route.

Qi Sui nodded in approval.

As the saying goes, the emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country.

No matter how good Su Zheng's ability to govern the country is, he still has the backbone.

...

As soon as the holy order came out, the three armies started.

The people were in a state of excitement.

Think about the fact that the ancient country of Shenhuang has been forced to defend for more than three hundred years, and has been defeated year after year. It has been ridden on the head and shit on by others every time, and has lost a lot of land and population.

Anyone would feel aggrieved.

They have long been eager for such a day to fight a battle with the enemy country. Even if they lose the war, dying on the battlefield is more satisfying than being bullied all day long.

"Husband, be careful when you go to the battlefield!"

Inside Luofeng Palace.

Su Nian's face was full of gentleness. She was standing on tiptoe and carefully adjusting Qi Sui's collar.

The height difference between the two was too big, and she could only barely reach Qi Sui's chest.

"If you encounter a situation that you cannot fight, you must put life first. Soldiers can be recruited again if they die, but Nian'er doesn't want to be a widow for the rest of her life!"

"Don't worry, I know the principle of life-saving better than you!"

Qi Sui said seriously.

"I knew my husband was the smartest!"

Su Nian smiled slightly, and then said: "My husband, please wait for me outside the palace for a while!"

"Hmm? Is there anything else?"

"Oh, just wait for me for a while!" Su Nian said coquettishly.

After spending some time together, the relationship between the two has become more and more casual.

"Okay!"

Qi Sui came to the yard.

Bored, he looked through his career panel.

A few minutes later.

The palace door was pushed open again.

A tall girl wearing white light armor, holding a red tassel spear, and with a beautiful face came out. Her phoenix eyes were majestic, and her weak and elegant temperament was more heroic.

"Soldier Su Nian greets the Marshal!"

Su Nian walked up to him and saluted with a serious expression.

"What are you doing?" Qi Sui frowned and asked.

"Report to the Marshal, the soldier Su Nian is willing to follow your footsteps and go to war against the Purple Evil!"

"From now on, I am no longer the princess of Shenhuang, nor the wife of the King of Zhenguo, but just a soldier of Marshal Qi!"

Su Nian's voice was loud.

Qi Sui's frown slowly relaxed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Soldier Su Nian, listen to the order, now order you to be the Marshal's personal attendant, and go out with the army!"

Historical records show that Su Nian had a long military experience, and finally became a generation of female warriors in the army, constantly extending the life of the precarious Shenhuang Ancient Country.

It seems that this trip is the beginning of her transformation.

"Yes!"

Su Nian's eyes widened.

Seeing this, Qi Sui specially found a mask for her to cover her face to avoid causing unnecessary trouble in the army.

Then, he took Su Nian to the martial arts field outside the city.

The 50,000 most elite soldiers of the Shenhuang Ancient Country had been waiting here for a long time.

They are mainly composed of 40,000 "Sky Patrols" and 5,000 "Fire Guards", all of whom are experienced fighters, with flags flying and fighting spirit soaring to the sky.

The mobilization before the expedition has been carried out, and it was the emperor of the current dynasty who spoke personally.

At this moment, morale is high.

Qi Sui strode onto the high platform, his eyes were cold, and he swept across the resolute faces, and shouted loudly: "All troops listen to my orders, rush to Jianmen Pass, break into the countries of Zishu and Changshou, and create unprecedented achievements!"

"If the enemy can go, I can go too!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The shouts were like thunder from the ground, shattering the clouds in the sky.

The soldiers looked at him with great respect and awe, and did not despise the general who took office directly because of Qi Sui's young face.

During this period, they had more or less heard of Qi Sui's fierce record of tearing the national god with his hands.

Moreover, according to word of mouth, in the end, it was even more terrifying than those demon lords and gods.

Everyone was willing to follow such a marshal to the battle, even if the enemy and us had a huge disparity in strength.

Because they had experienced too many battles where they were wantonly slaughtered by national god-level figures, the enemy was like a tiger entering a pack of wolves. No matter how hard they resisted, they still could not escape the fate of being harvested.

But now it is different. With the great marshal Qi Sui, their Shenhuang Ancient Country also has the top combat power.

…

The land area of ​​Shenhuang Ancient Country is not large.

It is about the scope of a province of Xia Country in the real world.

It took less than two days.

Fifty thousand elite soldiers arrived at the border Jianmen Pass.

This is the outermost border defense line of Shenhuang Ancient Country. The pass is towering into the clouds, steep and dangerous, like a sharp sword inserted upside down, so it is named "Jianmen".

"Set up camp!"

A general commanded on the battlefield.

Although Qi Sui was the general of the army, he knew nothing about marching and fighting, so he would not overstep his bounds. Anyway, the generals could worry about the fighting, and he was only responsible for fighting the enemy.

"General Sun Lianzhuang of Beiguan, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

A big and strong general in black armor hurried over and knelt on one knee in front of Su Zheng.

"General Sun, please get up quickly. General Sun has been stationed at Jianmen Pass for many years. Thank you for your hard work!"

Su Zheng immediately stepped forward and helped him up.

This scene of honoring the wise soldiers was seen by many people.

"General Sun, tell me about the recent situation at Jianmen Pass!"

"Let's go up first and talk while we walk!"

Led by Sun Lianzhuang, Su Zheng and Qi Sui walked along the green steps to the city gate.

Looking around, there was an extremely fertile grassland thousands of meters away. It was a pity that this rich land was stationed with densely packed black military camps, and some people with strange faces and mysterious skin patterns could be seen moving among them.

"That's the military camp of Zishu and Changsong. It's estimated that there are at least 500,000 soldiers!"

"They appeared here three days ago, but they have been besieging us without attacking. They seem to hope that we can agree to their conditions. It feels like..."

Sun Lianzhuang looked at Su Zheng carefully, and then whispered: "It's like treating us as pigs that can be kept in a pen!"

"Go on!"

Su Zheng's expression showed no joy or anger.

"In addition to the 500,000 troops, the gods of the two countries seem to have appeared here..."

The two kept talking.

And Qi Sui's attention was more on this city gate.

The city wall is made of green rocks, like a giant dragon winding on the border of Shenhuang.

You can see mottled scratches on the wall, as well as dark red blood stains that have not faded even with wind and frost. It is the best testimony of countless wars of all sizes that have taken place here through thousands of years of history.

Qi Sui can be sure that this is definitely his first time here.

But walking on it, there is always a sense of inexplicable familiarity, as if I have seen it somewhere before?

Where is it?

He frowned and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the military camp on the distant grassland, crossing a thousand meters of space in an instant, as powerful as thunder and lightning, and pierced Su Zheng's head.

"Help!"

A personal guard was the first to discover it and rushed towards Su Zheng.

But the speed of this arrow was too fast, so fast that there was no chance to save the emperor.

"I remember it!"

Qi Sui suddenly raised his head and shouted, and at the same time stretched out his hand like lightning and pinched the arrow at his fingertips.

Because the power contained in it was too terrifying, the tail of the arrow continued to shake violently.

At this moment, his thoughts wandered, and he returned to the picture transmitted by the first light curtain fragment he touched when he first climbed to the 100,000-meter vine of the secret realm.

The ancient battlefield where the fighting was extremely tragic was almost exactly the same as the environment of this Jianmen Pass!

...
