Capítulo 2108: Chapter 205: Lone Rider Seizes the Gate
The southwestern direction of Hui Ming Prefecture borders Shaokang Prefecture, the northwest is adjacent to Danie Prefecture, the north is Linwu Mansion, the east is Feng Li Prefecture, and the south is Jin’an Fu.
Before Sumr Country incorporated it into its territory, this area was once a place of warfare.
Though now peaceful for many years, indifferent to war, the bloodthirstiness in the bones of the Hui Ming people remains.
Honggu City suddenly fell, and war resources were plundered by the Qi Army… Whether through ssenger pigeons, tours by jade platforms and green-stallion, or the firsthand account of the Honggu City City Guard Army, these reports continually corroborated this news. Indeed, a Qi Army sohow sneaked past Huyang Pass into the heart of Sumr Country…
The entire Hui Ming Prefecture imdiately turned tumultuous!
Sumr Country once had the foundation of a hegemon; though it declined, its influence hasn’t faded. In Hui Ming Prefecture, despite the saying “Hui Ming’s elite soldiers are all at Huyang,” the City Guard Army of other major city regions still retains considerable military strength.
The seventeen cities of Hui Ming Prefecture, excluding Honggu City, which has already fallen, and Yun’er City, which is likely the next target of the Qi Army, all moved their troops urgently out of the cities, converging at the Hui Ming-Shaokang border. In the shortest ti possible, they blocked all the space between Honggu and Yun’er cities.
The rapid response of Hui Ming’s cities, completing the deploynt and blockade swiftly, was because Danie’s Xuanping Marquis Fan Ao had promptly extricated himself and personally arrived at Hui Ming!
Fan Ao is a legitimate disciple of the Legalists, originating from the Triple Punishnt Palace.
As a forr disciple of the Executioner Palace, he traveled the world, wielding a sword and burdened by punishnt, learned successfully, and returned to serve Sumr. (Thorns being a tool of punishnt bearers, Legalists carry it to know the law cannot be frivolous.)
His background, strength, and honors undoubtedly make him a high-level figure in Sumr Country.
On the eastern front battlefield against the Qi Army, he is the core of Sumr’s side.
Under the charge of Feng Duke Zhou Ying, the eastern front battlefield, aided by the National Defense Great Formation, initially tightly delayed the Qi Army in the northern eight cities of Linwu. The flesh and blood quagmire concept that Fengjie Prefecture could not realize, almost ford in Linwu Mansion.
But as the rear abruptly faced turmoil, the defense system painstakingly built by Zhou Ying repeatedly fluctuated, and eventually, the northern eight cities of Linwu Mansion were breached by the Qi Army—
Zhou Ying, while reconstructing the defense line, also swiftly dispatched people to stabilize the internal crisis.
He dispatched two marquises!
Naly An Country Marquis Jin Ling and Xuanping Marquis Fan Ao.
It must be understood that in such a battlefield environnt tangled with flesh and blood, every God Arrives expert is indispensable military strength. It can even be said that they are the cornerstone of Da Xia’s defense system, akin to the ballast stone on a swaying dragon boat.
On both sides, soldiers face soldiers, generals face generals, with strong individuals mutually containing one another.
Zhou Ying draws back two marquises to the rear, inevitably making more concessions on the front line, showing the weight he attached to the internal crisis.
The story of Zhongxuan Chuliang, Sumr Country would never wish to see it repeated!
Among them, An Country Marquis Jin Ling personally led the army, charging straight towards the southern Linwu Mansion’s key city, Ximing City, personally suppressing the southern chaos. (Thus directly colliding with Zhongxuan Zun, who was eager to fight for rit on the battlefield.)
However, Fan Ao believed that the small Qi Army that circumvented to the rear of Xia Army, would not linger much in the southern Linwu Mansion. After destabilizing the Linwu defense line and initially achieving strategic goals, Linwu’s rear was the more dangerous location!
Among them, Pinglin Mansion is close to Xiangyou Prefecture, also behind the Tong Yang City defense line, hardly sothing a small Qi Army could shake.
He knows well the capability of Huyang Pass’s defender, Chu Shuo, even admits that even if he personally led an army, there is no way he could break the pass in a short ti, let alone the wandering small Qi Army… Therefore, Hui Ming Prefecture is also an stable place.
His worry was Feng Li!
Feng Li Prefecture is also adjacent to Linwu Mansion, and Feng Li is a border county, beside it is Jin’an… Jin’an Fu is stationed with a Border Military defending against Liang Country!
Once Jin’an Fu’s rear is attacked, giving Liang Army an opportunity, the Liang Country people who initially just intimidated and contained, may also absurdly entertain ideas!
Fan Ao crossed the border alone, rapidly heading to Feng Li. He aid to settle danger before it arose, and resolve disaster before it erupted—
But the twenty-four cities of Feng Li showed no signs of disturbance.
He even went as far as laying down his Spiritual Sense to personally inspect several critical locations, yet found no trace of the Qi Army entering the territory.
Just then, the news of An Country Marquis engaging the enemy at Ximing City arrived, with the opponent being Zhongxuan Zun who ca directly from Linwu’s northern region! Judging from this, the Qi Army stirring up trouble behind Linwu Mansion seed to be part of Zhongxuan Zun’s layout—thus explaining matters.
Zhongxuan Zun, a genius fad from youth, should naturally have ambitions matching his talents.
Choosing Ximing City as his battle in Qi Xia for making a na is also a logical choice.
However…
Fan Ao feels a vague unease in his heart.
He always felt as if he had overlooked sothing.
Until on the way to Ximing City, preparing to join forces with An Country Marquis to extinguish Zhongxuan Zun, he received news of movent in Hui Ming Prefecture!
Only then did he know what his misjudgnt was about.
The Qi Army causing turbulence behind Sumr Country was not under Zhongxuan Zun’s command, but rather a collaboration between them! Its leader possesses independent will, an exceptional battlefield vision, and each step is taken at discomforting points; they are a military genius not inferior to Zhongxuan Zun! Indeed, this person is the one orchestrating the tempo of the war!
Moreover, how exactly did such a Qi Army enter Hui Ming Prefecture?
