Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 541 The best solution is here [asking for votes]

Huo Qubing led his troops to march through the night, and returned to Ctesiphon on the last day of August.

The dome is deep and the stars have not completely receded.

Outside the east gate of Ctesiphon, people and horses lined up, led by Chief Tu Wang and Su Jian.

There was also an envoy led by Prince Memnon Lega of Macedonia, who had just arrived in Ctesiphon.

Their team includes the war priest Afti.

Everyone is waiting for Huo Qubing.

At this moment, heading east from Taixifeng, on the vast plain, a Han army emerged from the void into mist.

The moment the team appeared, the troops swept through like a roaring storm.

The strong pressure and military front made everyone at the city gate feel pain like needle pricks on their skin.

The soldiers and horses came close in a blink of an eye.

A murderous aura filled the air, shocking Memnon Lega and other Macedonians.

The next moment, the whole army suddenly turned from galloping to stillness, and the four hooves of the war horses dug into the ground like cones.

Boom!
The ground shook, and thousands of troops and horses turned from galloping to stillness. The changes between movement and stillness formed a special appeal, and the whole audience was in awe.

"I have met the great Sima, and we are waiting to welcome the great Sima back to Parthia!"

The waiting troops shouted in unison.

The Western Huns tribe headed by King Tutu and some Parthian troops headed by Utis all knelt down on one knee.

They were once prisoners of Huo Qubing. After the defeat, they returned to the Han Dynasty, so they used the ceremony of kneeling on one knee.

Huo Qubing's bright and scorching eyes fell on everyone in Macedonia: "You are here too."

"We received news that the commander-in-chief would be returning, so we set out a few days ago. We only arrived in Ctesiphon yesterday evening. We have something to report to the commander-in-chief," Memnon Liega said.

"Let's talk in the city."

Huo Qubing lightly pinched the horse's belly.

Jin'an raised his horse's neck high, looked at everyone with his clear eyes, and walked towards the city first with elegant horse steps.

King Hunxie, Fu Luzhi and others were all on the front line preparing for the war and were not in Ctesiphon, so they did not appear in the welcoming team.

The sun is rising.

Clear sunlight poured in from the window, forming beams of light.

The main hall of the beautiful royal palace in Taixi.

Memnon Lega stood under Huo Qubing's right hand side and said: "We have received news that the Romans have mobilized many armies to march eastward this time.

War orders have been launched within the Roman legions.

They said that the Han Dynasty was a demonic army from the east, a blasphemer of the gods, and an invader. They called the surrounding countries to become enemies of the Han Dynasty.

The war orders of the Roman legions also stated that this time they would not only defeat the Han army and the Macedonians in one fell swoop.

And... I want to hang my Macedonian lord and the commander-in-chief of the Han army. "

Memnon Lega looked worried:

"The fleet dispatched by the Romans quelled the enemies that were harassing overseas in the southwest of their country, and then mobilized 6000 men of the third legion to march eastward. Yesterday, they reached a position where they could engage with our Macedonian and Han armies."

“What was so special about Rome’s Third Legion?”

“The way the Roman legions were sorted was that the more battles they experienced, the more elite the troops would be drawn into the higher-ranked legions.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of Rome's top ten legions will double every time they move forward. "

Memnon Lega explains:
"The top three legions and the temple army left in Rome, as well as the pro-army under the consul called the Shield of Rome. These five teams are the real trump cards of Rome, with numbers ranging from 4 to [-]. They haven't lost in recent years."

Zhang Cigong stood at the head of the Han generals in the palace. He thought that was just right. Our Han army had never been defeated. We had a strong enemy to fight against, and we couldn't ask for more.

"Let's come here. There is one more thing we want to inform the commander-in-chief."

It was Avti who spoke this time.

She was wearing a pure white robe, her long golden hair tied up with a crown with intricate patterns, her face full of classical beauty looked dignified, her sea-blue eyes looked at Huo Qubing and said:

"About six or seven days ago, a divine light rose into the sky in Rome, like a burning flame."

"We in Macedonia used the Eye of the Holy Spirit to look at the heaven and earth where the divine light was burning. As a result, the Eye of the Holy Spirit was burnt and broken because the divine light we saw was too strong, and was directly destroyed."

Memnon Lega continued:

“The Eye of the Holy Spirit is an artifact that I have inherited from Macedonia for many years, and it is close to the level of an artifact.

Such an artifact is broken when viewed from a distance. We suspect that...the burning divine light in Rome is a terrifying power at the level of gods.

They probably used something on the divine level! "

Afti: "We want to remind the commander that after several contacts in the past, the Romans have learned about the Han army and already have methods to deal with the Han army, otherwise they will not raise troops again.

As far as we know, the great senator of the Roman Senate never did anything he was not sure of. "

"Since they have raised troops again, they should be sure to suppress the Han army."

Huo Qubing said calmly: "Is there any more?"

"We have also brought some information about the Roman Third Army to the commander-in-chief, please take a look at it." Memnon Lega said.

Huo Qubing hummed, then turned his attention to Su Jian, a veteran of the Han army.

He had been staying in Parthia and was most familiar with the current situation.

Su Jiandao: "Since half a month ago, the situation began to change. The Romans mobilized many troops and horses to advance eastward.

As of this morning, there has been a small-scale battle between the Roman Fifth Army and the Hunxie Division of our Han Army. "

"Is there any movement in Egypt?"

Su Jiandao: "It is difficult for us to fully develop the intelligence acquisition here.

I sent people to keep an eye on Egypt heading south, but I didn't have the chance to investigate deeply and found no signs of mobilization of troops in Egypt. "

On his way here, Huo Qubing had many contacts with King Hunxie and others, so he was no stranger to the battle situation.

He briefly asked a few questions and then issued orders to fully take over the battle situation.

The Han army in Ctesiphon immediately started to move.

Before Huo Qubing left Chang'an, two groups of troops from the Western Regions and Shendu had just passed through Da Yueshi and were still on their way to Parthia.

After Huo Qubing issued the order, all ministries acted according to the order.

Zhang Cigong rested briefly in the city, then left the camp with 5000 people in the afternoon and headed west.

Ctesiphon Palace, Great Hall.

After sitting down, Huo Qubing was looking at the topographic map of Parthia.

The terrain of Parthia is like a flat gourd, with the mouth of the gourd facing west and the bottom facing east, lying on the fertile land of the two river basins.To the west is Asia Minor, facing the Romans' battleground for their eastward expansion.

Han and Rome now clashed in this area.

Ctesiphon is located in the upper part of the gourd, near the center.

Heading south from the Parthian border, along the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and then west, you will reach Alexandria, the capital of Egypt, on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

In other words, by advancing from Egypt to the northeast, we can approach the southwest corner of the Parthian border.

"Your Majesty, you think the Egyptians will join the war and become our enemies together with Rome?" Su Jian's eyes were also focused on the map.

In the war between Han and Rome, Egypt placed its bets on Rome, which they knew better and was gradually becoming the overlord of the Mediterranean. It was no surprise.

The two parties are about to join forces to deal with the Han Dynasty who are on an expedition.

Huo Qubing had previously asked the captured Egyptian prisoners to go back and warn the current king of Egypt, Ptolemy VIII.

But such warnings will not provide actual deterrence.

The Egyptian Pharaoh apparently ignored the warning.

The war has reached a stage where it is about to break out in full force.

On the first day after Huo Qubing returned to Parthia, he made adjustments to the battle situation.

Before he came back, the Han army was motionless, but now it became very aggressive. With Taixi Feng as the strategic core, Zhang Cigong and Zhao Ponu led the troops to advance westward from the south and north respectively, like two The spear thrust out from the handle was filled with murderous intent.

In Rome, in the evening, the great senator received intelligence about changes in the movement of the Han army.

"The commander-in-chief of the Han army has returned..." The great senator squinted his eyes, with dense wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

Night fell quickly.

The palace hall of Ctesiphon was brightly lit.

Huo Qubing hunkered down at his desk and stamped an order for the mobilization of troops and horses, and asked his own soldiers to deliver the order.

"Any news?"

A man was coming in from outside the temple.

It was Song Ran: "Luo Xiu and I came back from Chang'an half a month early according to Grand Sima's order. He took people to the west. This is the news he just sent back.

There are also all kinds of information obtained by my subordinates from Xiuyi's exploration of Egypt. I have preliminary sorted them out and sent them to Grand Sima for review. "

Song Ran presented the compiled information.

Huo Qubing buried his head in reading: "You can go ahead. You don't have to wait here. Nothing will happen tonight. You are about to break through to the realm of heaven and human beings. You have good qualifications."

Song Ran curled her lips subconsciously. Huo Qubing was the least qualified to say that he had good qualifications.

It felt strange to hear such words of praise for other people's qualifications coming from his mouth.

Song Ran is a little older than Huo Qubing, he is already a semi-saint, yet he praises me for my qualifications?
As the national destiny of the Han Dynasty improved, the spiritual practice of the Han people was entering a stage of rapid development.

In the future, the number of cultivators in the heaven and human realm will continue to increase.

The night is getting darker.

Huo Qubing returned to the back house and saw that the palace bedroom where he stayed had been cleaned to perfection.

Even the bed was replaced with a silk brocade quilt and jade pillow.

At a glance, it was obvious that Bai Nanyu had prepared it.

This misfortune has been teasing him a lot lately, and will come to him whenever he has nothing to do.It was not convenient when we were in Chang'an, and it was not appropriate to sleep with her when we first came to the Parthian front.

But the peaches are ripe, and it’s time to eat them.

After Huo Qubing returned to his dormitory, he contacted his uncle Wei Qing and asked each other about the battle situation on both sides.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the stars are shining like stars.

He closed his eyes and breathed, entering a state of cultivation, and the power in his body instantly connected with the world.

The Yang Shen derived from the soldier talisman left the body and wandered around the world.

At Huo Qubing's current stage, it is difficult to achieve the purpose of increasing his practice by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

Even decades of breathing in the vitality of heaven and earth are not enough to push the semi-saint forward to continue to improve his level.

But Huo Qubing’s situation is a bit special.

He has six military talismans and a Yin body, and the five dragons of Sheng Shen Fa can be divided into five to gather the energy of heaven and earth together.

Compared with ordinary military strategists who have only one military talisman and one Yin body, the speed at which he gathers energy during practice is several times higher.

After he entered the semi-saint level, one breath could draw the vitality of a hundred miles around, sinking and gathering it.

The affected area continues to expand, and the weather is astonishing.

Huo Qubing also used the Purple Pill of National Fortune given by the emperor for this practice.

It was an almost solid crystal-like substance formed by the heavy national destiny of the Han Dynasty.

The majesty of the national destiny contained in it even surprised Huo Qubing.

The Purple Pill of National Fortune hung in front of him, and as he breathed in and out, a breath like the Yangtze River poured into his body.

Huo Qubing could feel that hundreds of thousands of pores all over his body were accepting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the fortune of the country into his body.

After the strong aura of national destiny enters the body, it is quickly transformed into the power of practice.

Absorb the Purple Pill of National Fortune and practice for one hour, which is equivalent to more than ten months in normal times.

It is dozens of times faster than the normal practice speed.

No wonder so many people are plotting secretly to seize the fate of the country and improve their spiritual practice.

The effect is indeed amazing.

And when Huo Qubing was immersed in practice, he suddenly felt a call from the spiritual level.

Finding its source is the ancient well in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Huo Qubing was so blessed that he sank into his heart and entered the ancient well.

On the wall of the ancient well, symbols flickered, creating a small cave in one's consciousness.

In the small cave, there are green mountains and green waters. There are two thatched huts and bamboo fences, as green as jade.

There is a bamboo forest behind the thatched house. It is a quiet environment with mist and spring water flowing through the forest.

There is a stone platform in the bamboo forest, and an old man is sitting behind the platform. There are four moles on his broad forehead, which are the signs of ghosts.

This man was exactly Gui Guzi, the great sage of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the originator of Zongheng who he had met once in the mental state of the well wall after Huo Qubing broke through to semi-sainthood!
He saw Huo Qubing, looked at him carefully, and said slowly: "Have you achieved nine of the best strategies in your military training?"

Seeing Huo Qubing nod his head, he added: "Do you know that the amount of military energy accumulated from every ten best strategies can lead to one best strategy?"

Huo Qubing suddenly cheered up and thought of the best solution!
