empire wars

Chapter 97 Gongsun Chi

"Only senior members of the first and second ranks, state shepherds, and generals are qualified to do so."

Li Deyi raised her head slightly, and said enviously and expectantly. "As for the ninth floor, it will only be opened when the King of Southern Jing personally entertains guests. After Yuan Zi wiped out the human spirit guards, the banquet was held on the ninth floor."

Qin Yuan raised his glass, "Maybe Brother Li can also have a good time."

Li Deyi was overjoyed upon hearing this, and talked even more excitedly.

The three of them had a drink for a while, and there was a noise from below, and the wine table trembled slightly.

Qin Yuan looked down at the street, where a group of hundreds of elite cavalry galloped unscrupulously on the street.

Fortunately, the street was wide enough, and pedestrians walked on both sides wisely, and did not walk in the middle of the street swaggeringly, which only caused dissatisfaction among some people.

However, when they saw the people on the cavalry, no matter whether it was a knight-errant or a government soldier, they all shut their mouths, didn't dare to make a sound, didn't even dare to take a second look, and continued walking with their heads down.

"Gongsun Chi, General Zhenbei, led an army of [-] this time. They are Beidi Raiders and Sword Guard Cavalry, both of which are elite cavalry."

Li Deyi stared at the domineering cavalry with scorching eyes, and suddenly looked at Qin Yuan beside him, as if thinking of Qin Yuan's origin, and immediately felt that if Qin Yuan was given a few years, maybe he would be the next Gongsun Chi.

Galloping on the streets are all black-haired horses, strong and tall, with top-notch speed, endurance, and tenacity. They are almost the same as the Northern Qiang war horses, and they are also excellent breeds from the northern grasslands.

Hundreds of black-haired horses came in the direction of Zuixiangju with neat steps.

In the northern part of the Lie Han Dynasty, there was a vast and boundless grassland. The northern Qiang people lived in the northwest, and the Beidi people lived in the northeast.

And adjacent to the Beidi people is Beiyuan Youzhou, the only big state that has no state herdsman, but has a general guarding it all year round.

At the front of the team was a man wearing a dark golden armor. He was tall and tall, tall and straight, with a handsome face and a resolute face, and he carried an extremely powerful and outrageous aura.

Gongsun Chi raised his head abruptly, his eyes were like fire, as if he could see through the window of a person's heart.

Qin Yuan's eyes met him, and he felt like a similar person, not only in status, but also in strength.

A martial artist at the ninth level of Houtian even reached the peak of Houtian, only one step away from breaking through Xiantian.

The corners of Qin Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, and he nodded slightly towards Gongsun Chi, feeling like a hero cherishing each other, and a trace of sadness welled up in his heart.

It's strange how it feels like this.

Qin Yuan closed his eyes involuntarily, feeling the emotional changes in his heart, and when he opened them again, the figure of the cavalry had already disappeared below.

He sat down again, but saw the two brothers Li Deyi beside him in a cold sweat.

"what's wrong?"

Qin Yuan asked.

"As expected of General Gongsun, one look makes one's heart tremble." Li Deyi waved her hand and said.

Just now, when Gongsun Chi and Qin Yuan looked at each other, there was a strong pressure in their eyes, which made the two of them unable to bear it. He was worthy of the Zhenbei general who had been fighting with the Beidi tribe for more than 20 years.

"you"

Li Deyi came to her senses, looked at Qin Yuan in disbelief, and found that Qin Yuan's expression and demeanor were all normal, and he was not affected at all.

Regarding Qin Yuan's strength, Li Deyi has a high opinion of Qin Yuan.

Boom boom boom!
When Li Deyi was about to ask, heavy footsteps came from the stairs.

The entire seventh floor fell silent in an instant, only the sound of thumping getting closer and everyone's heart beating violently could be heard.

"I have seen General Gongsun!"

"I've seen General Zhenbei!"

"."

When Gongsun Chi's tall figure appeared, everyone stood up and greeted him respectfully.

Gongsun Chi glanced around with his sword eyes. At this time, there were not many people on the seventh floor, only four tables, two tables were by the window, and two tables were in the private room with curtains, and the locations were extremely far apart.

A sturdy aura emanated, as if it was born with it, making people afraid to make a sound, and even stopped breathing.

Tatata!
Gongsun Chi's eyes fell on Qin Yuan's table, then he walked over.

"Loyal General Li Deyi."

"Benevolent General Li Deyong."

"I've seen General Zhenbei."

Li Deyi and Li Deyong's heartbeat couldn't help but he bowed slightly, not knowing why Gongsun Chi came over.

Although they were full-ranked generals, they were not worth mentioning to Gongsun Chi. Even if they met on a regular basis, Gongsun Chi would never look at them.

Gongsun Chi glanced at the two of them, and then his eyes fell on Qin Yuan. He was upright and straight, but he was relaxed and freehand when facing him, showing a faint smile.

"General Zheng Bei, Qin Yuan, prefect of Wuwei, met General Gongsun."

Qin Yuan no longer restrained his aura, but also exuded a powerful aura, comparable to Gongsun Chi.

At this time, Gongsun Chi's eyes showed shock and joy.

"Gongsun Chi."

Gongsun Chi only said his name, but it meant that he recognized Qin Yuan's identity.

Then, under Li Deyi's surprised eyes, he sat down.

Each of the four people sat in a corner, and all the military commanders spoke, and it was not a formal banquet, so they didn't pay too much attention.

Gongsun Chi faced Qin Yuan face to face, without the slightest timidity.

Whether facing Li Deyi or Gongsun Chi, in Qin Yuan's eyes, they are all the same. If you want to overwhelm Qin Yuan, I am afraid that no one in this world can do it.

"Thank you for the reminder, the general. Today, I led my subordinates to ambush the third spirit guard and wiped them out. This is also due to the general."

Li Deyi didn't understand why Gongsun Chi sat at the same table with them, but in order to avoid embarrassment, he opened up the topic first and told everything that happened during the day.

Qin Yuan listened, the original news about Renlingwei was revealed by Gongsun Chi at a banquet.

It's just that the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it, and the others didn't take it seriously. Of course, the main reason is that they don't have that strength.

On the contrary, Li Deyi kept it firmly in mind, collected information, lay in ambush for several days, and finally waited for the Human Lingwei.

When Gongsun Chi heard this, he was a little surprised. He looked at Li Deyi squarely, praised him a few words, and then continued to look at Qin Yuan. "I passed by a military camp just now and saw a cavalry, all riding northern war horses."

Facing Gongsun Chi, the two brothers Li Deyi obviously couldn't let it go. One is because of their status. In the eyes of Gongsun Chi, the fifth-rank general is not very impressive at all. The other is strength. No, it's not like Qin Yuan, who deliberately restrained his breath, so the strength and coercion of being a general came out, putting the two people next to him under tremendous pressure.

Even the people on the entire seventh floor felt a faint coercion, and even their voices became much quieter. At the same time, they secretly looked at their table from time to time.

"The general has a good eye. Those are Northern Qiang war horses. Those cavalry are my subordinates, but they are far behind your elite."

Qin Yuan looked at Gongsun Chi, and with Gongsun Chi's eyes, he naturally saw the extraordinaryness of the Dragon Scale Army.

"No need to be modest, how is the current situation in Xiyong Liangzhou?"

Gongsun Chi asked.

Naturally, his trip was not aimless, but he was specifically looking for Qin Yuan.

First of all, it is the reason for the Northern Qiang war horses. Because he has been in contact with the Beidi people all the year round, he attaches great importance to the origin of this army.

In addition, the strength displayed by the Dragon Scale Army is not weaker than the Beidi raiders and sword guard cavalry he has carefully cultivated.

In the end, it was Qin Yuan's identity and experience of rising, which he was very interested in.

"The Northern Qiang crisis is half resolved. Now that Wuwei County and Jincheng County have recovered from the Northern Qiang people, I don't know much about the situation in Qinghai County. I only know that Master Zhou and the Northern Qiang Anhan Er Clan are at war. I believe it will be over soon. If you can expel the Northern Qiang people from the Tiandao Army, Xiping County will be taken back by our army in a short time."

Qin Yuan talked about the situation in Xiyong Liangzhou in detail, and pointed out that Wuwei, Jincheng, and Xiping counties have all become his territories, and he also surrendered the Northern Qiang Ma Feiteng lineage.

As for the state herdsmen, they are probably not the opponents of the Northern Qiang people, and Qin Yuan has no intention of helping them. He waits for them to fend for themselves. If they fall, Qin Yuan will have an excuse to send troops to the entire Liangzhou of Xiyong.

After Qin Yuan finished speaking, the two brothers Li Deyi knew something before, so they were not that surprised. They were only secretly guessing how strong Qin Yuan's power was.

Gongsun Chi kept nodding, gradually accepting Qin Yuan's identity and status, well, at least an equal status.

In Gongsun Chi's mind, if Qin Yuan continues to develop normally, the entire Liangzhou of Xiyong will fall into his hands. Moreover, Qin Yuan didn't say his future plans, but he can vaguely guess who Gongsun Chi is.

"For those who are not of my race, their hearts must be different. Qiang Di's mentality is not the same as that of Hua. However, if you can conquer other races and make them submit, you are the No. 1 of our time."

Gongsun Chi sighed with emotion, both Beiqiang and Beidi belonged to foreign races, unruly, savage and arrogant, and it was very difficult to subdue them.

In the early years when Gongsun Chi fought with the Beidi tribe, he once subdued several Di tribes. However, it didn't take long for these tribes to turn against the water. They united with Beidi's internal forces and cooperated with the outside, which had a great impact on Youzhou in Beiyuan.

"When dealing with people of other races, one must be cautious." Gongsun Chi said. "It's best to use some unconventional means to keep it firmly in your hands."

"Thank you, General, for reminding me." Qin Yuan smiled.Originally, he planned to use drugs to control Ma Feiteng's life and death, but Ma Feiteng and the priest seemed to be sincere, and Qin Yuan did not do that.

In addition, after Meng Tian finished training the 50 troops, the threat of the [-] Northern Qiang cavalry would not be so important.

Another point is that Qin Yuan used the Northern Qiang cavalry as a vanguard army to capture the city and maximize the value of use.

"It's a pity that the dynasty is weak now, unable to conquer the alien races in the grassland and unify the entire continent like the previous dynasty."

Gongsun Chi showed a regretful and unwilling expression, which was very sincere and did not seem fake.

The continent he was talking about was naturally not only the Shenzhou Continent, but the entire Guyuan plane world.

Qin Yuan was a little surprised by this. In his opinion, no matter whether it is the officials in the court or the local princes, I am afraid that not many people will care about foreign races. They are more concerned about fighting for power and gain and hegemony in China.

But Gongsun Chi's performance did not look like a normal prince at all.

In the conversation that followed, Qin Yuan had a basic understanding of Gongsun Chi.

Gongsun Chi was born in a small town of Bianchui in Youzhou, Beiyuan. At that time, the situation of the Liehan Dynasty was not as chaotic as it is now. The national power was still strong, and it was more than enough to suppress the surrounding barbarians.

But later, with the continuous replacement of emperors and courtiers scrambling for power and profit, disasters occurred frequently in various places, the people were in dire straits, and the national power gradually declined.

At that time, the white snow drifted into the border, and the army of the Beidi tribe attacked the town where Gongsun Chi was located. The people in the city were brutally killed. It was impossible to escape, and in the end only a few teenagers including Gongsun Chi survived.

When they saw the town where they had lived for more than ten years, it was already dead silent, with corpses everywhere.

Gongsun Chi led several clan brothers and left their hometown in grief, only to find that the entire Beiyuan Youzhou had fallen into the hands of the Beidi clan. They went through untold hardships before returning to the land of the Central Plains.

In the end, it was the road of Gongsun Chi's rise. At the age of 20, he stepped into the Houtian realm, challenged the masters from all walks of life, and became a famous captain in Luodu.

During a court political struggle, the emperor finally got a chance. The emperor ordered a crusade against the Beidi tribe. Since the major political parties shirked, Gongsun Chi, who had no background, was promoted by several major parties as the main general, and the road to revenge began.

Gongsun Chi led [-] old, weak and remnant soldiers. After nearly ten years of fighting, he finally regained the lost land in Youzhou, drove the Beidi people outside the Great Wall, and after recuperating for two years, he began to attack the territory of the Beidi people.

After more than 20 years of fighting, Gongsun Chi not only regained the original Youzhou of Beiyuan, but also doubled the territory, and finally became the famous General Zhenbei, and was deeply loved by the people of Youzhou, Beiyuan. In Beiyuan Youzhou, it is said that there is no second existence.

Even if it is the imperial court, Gongsun Chi is very valued, or feared, which is why there has been no state shepherd in Beiyuan Youzhou.

Of course, even if the imperial court wanted to regain military power, how could Gongsun Chi, who was flourishing in Youzhou, Beiyuan, do what the imperial court wished.

In addition to the crusade against the Beidi tribe, he also personally led the army to exterminate the robbers, bandits, rebels, etc. in Youzhou, making the security in the territory more stable.

This also led to the uprising of the Tiandao Army, which spread across more than a dozen states of the dynasty, but Youzhou in Beiyuan only caused a little splash, and was wiped out by Gongsun Chi.

If it comes to loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, Gongsun Chi may be the same as them.

If it is said that he loves the people like a son, Gongsun Chi definitely surpasses everyone, including the clan of Lie Han and even the emperor.

Especially after Gongsun Chi regained Youzhou in Beiyuan, he issued a military order that if the Beidi tribe entered and killed a commoner, they would kill ten Beidi tribesmen, and if the Beidi tribe invaded a city, then he would massacre ten tribes of the Beidi tribe.

In this regard, Qin Yuan looked at Gongsun Chi with sincere admiration. The real power in this person's hands was obtained bit by bit by his own ability.

"The battle of Yidu this time is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I still can't see through the mind of King Nanjing."

Gongsun Chi's words turned around, his face was solemn, his sword eyes scanned, and he saw the performance of the three people in front of him.

Li Deyi was silent, he didn't dare to talk about King Nanjing behind his back.

Moreover, judging from his series of behaviors, it is obvious that he wants to rely on the big tree of King Nanjing.

"The general has some inside information."

Qin Yuan has no taboos, so what can King Nanjing do.

Seeing this, Gongsun Chi smiled. He was still posing as a general, but after knowing Qin Yuan's origin, he no longer looked at Qin Yuan aggressively, and basically put Qin Yuan on the same level.

Because, Gongsun Chi saw his own shadow from Qin Yuan, the experience of the two is very similar, especially Qin Yuan's own strength, people must treat it with caution.

As for Qin Yuan's power, it is not easy to kill 10,000+ Northern Qiang cavalry, recapture three major prefectures, and subdue [-] Northern Qiang elites. This is a powerful force.

"Yidu County is a huge conspiracy. I suspect that at least one of the Heavenly Dao Army or the King of Nanjing is contributing to the flames, and even both parties may be involved."

Gongsun Chi said.

Several people were breathless, and Li Deyi was restless.

Qin Yuan put down his wine glass. "What conspiracy?"
