At the beginning, the empress ordered death, and 100,000 dragon riders circled Chang'an

The first time, the second time.

"Northern Palace Army?"

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

He didn't have any impression of this army.

However.

When he looked at the introduction given by the system, his eyebrows showed a hint of joy.

[Northern Palace Army: Commander Wu Zong Peak, Deputy Commander Ordinary Wu Zong, Thousand Man Martial Emperor, Centurion Martial King, Squadron Master Martial Master, Sergeant Master Martial Master! ]

Elite!

Such an elite army can even compete with the soldiers with Saint-level rewards!

This configuration, in the rewards of the super lottery, is estimated to be in the forefront!

"General Xie Xuan, I pay my respects to the Lord!"

As the system rewards were successfully distributed. A strong man knelt on one knee and greeted Lu Yuan.

"General Xie, no need to be polite!"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly.

"General Xie, I will leave this Yumen Pass to you to guard!"

"There are still 20,000 surrendered soldiers in the pass, and I will leave it to you to deal with!"

"Only one thing! Make sure that those who stay are all loyal people!"

"I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

Xie Xuan accepted the order loudly!

"By the way, General Xie."

At this time, Lu Yuan suddenly looked at Xie Xuan in confusion.

"Do you have a sister named... Xie Daoyun?"

"Yes!"

Xie Xuan clasped his fists and nodded.

Although he didn't have the previous memory, he would never forget his own sister.

"Sure enough!"

Lu Yuan also realized it.

The sentence "It's not like willow catkins rising in the wind" has touched the dreams of many literati throughout the ages.

It's just a pity.

It's a pity that I can't see the beauty of such a wonderful woman.

She can only look to her brother, this rough guy.

If...

Lu Yuan shook his head.

What was he thinking about.

There are still many important things ahead!

.....

Breaking through Yumen Pass was just a small episode.

After handing Yumen Pass to Xie Xuan, Lu Yuan ordered the army to set off again!

After all, speed is of the essence.

Once the empress reacts and mobilizes troops from all sides to come to Beijing to protect her, it will be a bit troublesome!

"Let's go! Keep going south!"

Entering the Central Plains is like entering the sea!

Lu Yuan finally stepped into the vast Central Plains with a flat land!

.....

Liangzhou, Beiyang City.

Liangzhou is the northernmost of the prefectures and counties directly under the Great Zhou.

It borders the Northern Territory directly.

And Beiyang City is the county capital of Liangzhou.

This city is only more than a thousand miles away from Yumen Pass.

At this time.

Outside Beiyang City.

Two hundred thousand troops marched in a mighty force.

The leading general was a handsome young man with bright eyes and white teeth.

He wore a white, flamboyant armor and exuded a terrifying semi-saint aura!

He was so arrogant as if he didn't care about anything!

That's right.

This young general was the prince of the Duke of Wu of the Great Zhou, Zhao Kuanying!

And the two hundred thousand troops behind Zhao Kuanying were the reinforcements sent by the empress to support Yumen Pass!

At this time.

Zhao Kuanying had just led his troops to Beiyang City.

Suddenly, an urgent military report was delivered to him.

"Huh? An urgent military report?"

Zhao Kuanying frowned and took it.

He opened the envelope and looked at the contents of the military report without caring.

However.

After seeing the contents of the letter, Zhao Kuanying jumped up!

"What! Yumen Pass was lost!"

"The defender Li Shun was killed!"

"Zhenbei King Lu Yuan crossed Yumen Pass and led his army straight in!"

"Bang!"

In a rage, Zhao Kuanying threw the golden whip in his hand to the ground, and directly smashed a deep pit in the ground!

"Humph! Li Shun, this waste! He didn't even hold on for a day!"

"That's Yumen Pass! He was lost just like that!"

Li Shun was mad, his eyes were red as if he could swallow him alive!

No wonder Zhao Kuanying was so angry!

As a fortress to resist the northern barbarians, Yumen Pass is really easy to defend and difficult to attack!

However.

Such a dangerous place.

If you change a cerebral palsy, he can at least hold on for a few days!

Li Shun didn't even hold on for a day, and the city was broken!

It sounds like a fake!

"Humph! It really makes me angry!"

However.

Things have already happened.

Even the defending general Li Shun had been killed!

Even though Zhao Kuanying was full of anger, he had nowhere to vent it!

At this time.

The deputy general who followed the army came to report a bad news:

"General, the soldiers are complaining that the march is too fast and they are miserable!"

"Ten thousand miles a day, it has reached the limit!"

"And the fast march

The talisman has been used up, and the marching speed has slowed down. You see..."

The Speeding Talisman is a military spell commonly used by the army.

It is made by a Talisman Master.

Talisman Masters are the same as practitioners, but they are just two different cultivation systems.

And the function of the Speeding Talisman is just as its name suggests, increasing the marching speed of the army!

If it weren't for the Speeding Talisman.

The distance from Chang'an to Yumen Pass is tens of millions of miles. Even if every soldier has a cultivation base, it is impossible to cross such a distance in one day!

It seems that Yumen Pass cannot be reached.

Looking at the army under his command that is exhausted due to the rapid march.

Zhao Kuanying's eyes flickered, and he had to make an expedient plan:

"Okay, tell the whole army to abandon Yumen Pass!"

"Temporarily enter Beiyang City to replenish supplies! "

In order to march quickly, the army led by Zhao Kuanying was lightly equipped.

Except for weapons, they brought nothing!

Originally, they thought of going to Yumen Pass for replenishment.

Now Yumen Pass has been breached.

He had no choice but to find Beiyang City, the nearest big city, for supplies!

......

Beiyang City is the capital of Liangzhou County, and it is also the most prosperous city in the entire Liangzhou.

Originally, the plan was that Zhao Kuanying would just pass by and would not lead the army into the city.

Therefore.

Beiyang City was not prepared for this at all.

Now the plan has suddenly changed.

Naturally, there was a lot of chaos!

On both sides of the prosperous streets, there were stalls set up by some ordinary vendors.

The mighty army entered the city.

Some old soldiers took advantage of the gaps in the army's march to sweep the small vendors on the street!

"Haha! Take it! "

The old soldier's eyes were filled with the desire to get rich.

Robbery has become their routine!

No matter if it's the enemy's or their own, they are treated equally!

And the officers turned a blind eye.

These soldiers are all living on their backs.

Only by satisfying their greed.

Next, they can fight hard on the battlefield!

Moreover.

The robbed people are all humble civilians.

It doesn't matter!

On the side of the road.

A ragged old man with gray hair begged a soldier with tears and rage.

And the soldier was holding some rare mountain herbs in his hand.

"No! Soldier, if you take these things away, my three months of hard-earned money will be gone!"

"Soldier! Please! "

These herbs were collected by the old man from the deep mountains and forests in three months, risking his life!

Sell them for money.

It is also the hope of his family's life for the next three months!

"Get out of here, old man!"

"If you delay any longer, don't blame me for being rude!"

The old soldier cursed viciously.

Seeing that the old man was unwilling to let go, he kicked him impatiently!

His legs and feet made a gust of wind.

The old man was hunched over, skinny, like a candle in the wind!

If this heavy kick was real, the old man would lose half his life!
