On May 15, after six days of deep detour, Feng Jixing's 50,000 cavalrymen arrived at Yunzhong Shui Gate in a mighty manner. A fortress that had been standing for decades, which was Yunzhong Pass. Feng Jixing's purpose of this trip was Yunzhong Pass. Only by guarding Yunzhong Pass can the iron hooves of Longji's regiment be stopped from continuing to invade the south. Feng Jixing had no choice.

Looking up at the majestic fortress, Luo Yu couldn't help but frown and said, "I don't know how long we want Pan to stay here."

"Until we accumulate enough strength to be able to recover the lost territory in the Northern Expedition." Feng Jixing's eyes were deep and said, "Go to pass the orders and take over the entire Yunzhong Pass, and issue a letter of feather to all prefectures and counties in Yunzhong Province. Those who have not yet surrendered and have surrendered, and who have come to Yunzhong Pass to take refuge in any of the people who come to Yunzhong Pass for refuge, we cannot let the people of the empire feel cold."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Yunzhong Water Gate is adjacent to the transportation lifeline of Yunzhong Ancient Road. A large number of iron hooves enter the fortress from Yunzhong Ancient Road. The guard in the city is Lin Muyu's old subordinate. The former instructor of Venus, who was once the temple, has now become a guardian. Seeing Feng Jixing's arrival, he handed over the city to him without hesitation. For the imperial soldiers, Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing are two gods of war, supreme beings.

Stepping onto the city wall and looking into the north, Feng Jixing continued to issue various defense orders regardless of his fatigue and recruited civilians to repair the city wall. After all, there has been no war between Yunzhong Province and Lanyan City for many years. Many of the city walls that have been connected to dozens of miles have been disrepaired for a long time. If they are not repaired, they will be vulnerable.

Holding the cold stone wall, Feng Jixing watched the endless water of the Dao River flowing from the north. The river flowed fast, and huge heads continued to emerge in the heart of the river. They were frost-armored dragons. They grew in the river clouds in the Dao River. For decades, people were reluctant to approach the Dao River. These frost-armored dragons squeezed into a ball and screamed under the sluice gate. It was this huge sluice gate that prevented them from going down the river to the south. If they really went, the fishermen and farmers on both sides of the sluice would probably suffer.

"Your Highness, what else do you have to do?" Luo Yu, who was standing beside him, asked in a low voice.

"there is none left."

Feng Jixing was a little helpless, frowned and looked at the turbulent Daojiang. After a few seconds, he said: "Luo Yu, what is the defensive power of Qihai Province? Fang Lan is not a good person. After taking Muyu City, the next step may be Qihai City. If the two major cities in the north fall one after another, we will be the sinners of the empire and will be eternal shame."

"Don't worry, your highness, the Qihai Province is temporarily guarded by General Chen Xiaoli. He began to gather troops from major prefectures and counties in the province a few days ago. With the troops of his headquarters, there are at least 150,000. The mountains between the Qihai Province and Yunzhong Province are continuous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. With General Chen Xiaoli's ability, I believe there will be no problem."

"Um."

Feng Jixing silently said a few words: "Long time no see Chen Xiaoli, I don't know how he is now... By the way, I sent a war eagle scout to find the scattered Iron Blade Army and take them back to Yunzhong Pass. How much can they come back? In addition, I will send messengers to the major prefectures and counties in Tianshu Province, and order all the prefectures and troops to draw more than 70% to Yunzhong Pass to wait for my dispatch."

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order."

"etc."

"What else does your Highness have?"

Feng Jixing pondered for a while and said, "I ordered people to rust a hundred Qin-shaped battle flags and distribute them to the troops of Yunzhongguan. I want the entire army to know whose army we are and who we fight for."

"Yes, I'll do it now."

Looking at Luo Yu's hurried figure, Feng Jixing couldn't help but take a deep breath. It was a wise choice to ask Luo Yu to come from Lin Muyu, otherwise there would be no such capable general at this moment. As for Zhang Wei, he could have the style of a general, but it would be far from enough to let him do some civil affairs. The imperial army has always valued martial arts and over civil affairs, but there are many disadvantages. If the empire is really overwhelmed by this war and the empire is immortal, it is time to pay attention to civil affairs. After all, Qin Jin had accumulated so many years of coins and economy, and it was almost over all of them in this decade. At this time, the empire was empty in the treasury and exhausted the whole country.

Until afternoon, the voice of the messenger woke Feng Jixing from his dream.

"Your Highness, the remnants of the Iron Blade Army are back."

"ah……"

Feng Jixing turned over and fell from the chair. He had not closed his eyes for five days and five nights in a row. He was so tired that he activated his divine power when his body was about to land. He waved his palms and his body floated up. After opening the door, he asked, "Who is back."

"Your Highness Qi Zun is the Iron Blade Army following Luo Xin out of the city to fight the scattered people. It was led by Qin Yong, the commander of the Right Army of the Iron Blade Army. After being ambushed, they encountered two more pursuits from the Longji Corps. They suffered heavy losses. Now they are outside the city. General Zhang Wei asked me to report and ask if they were allowed to enter Yunzhong Pass."

"Okay, I'll go there now."

The wind Jixing stepped forward, and a lightning flashed by, but the person had disappeared from the spot and broke into the void.

...

"Bang."

Under the shade of willow trees in the ancient road in the Yunzhong Road, a lightning light burst out. Feng Jixing shook his body and appeared several miles away. When he appeared, Zhang Wei and others behind him were slightly stunned, but they quickly calmed down. No one in the imperial guards knew that Feng Jixing was a powerful man in the divine realm, so it was no wonder.

But on the ancient road, a group of defeated soldiers and defeated soldiers stood there in a very dismal manner. The man in front turned over and jumped off the war horse. His armor was incomplete. His arms and chest were scratched with knife marks, blood stains. The sword in his hand was covered with cracks, and his face seemed to be covered with blood.

Qin Yong, the distant bloodline of the Qin royal family, was once the bloodline of the ancestors, but it was already farther and farther away from the direct line to this generation, so that Qin Yong was originally just a small prefecture and county chief, but this small chief chief chief relied on his own ability to step by step with his military achievements to the position of command of the Right Army.

"The whole army dismounted and saluted His Highness King Xin."

Qin Yong shouted loudly, and behind him, soldiers who seemed to be fished out of blood dismounted one after another. They all performed the current imperial military salute, knelt on the ground with their right knee, and fisted straight to the ground, and naturally placed their left hand on their left knee, bowing their heads and respectfully. This is the current imperial military salute, which can only be used when meeting kings and emperors.

"stand up."

Feng Jixing's voice was firm and said, "March, I, Feng Jixing, are a soldier."

"yes."

Qin Yong stood up, and stood up with the soldiers behind him to salute, holding his fists, holding the weapon in his right hand and holding the left hand over the back of his right hand, respectful and mighty.

Feng Jixing also saluted them, which is respect among soldiers.

"General Qin Yong, how many of you still have?" he asked.

Qin Yong's body trembled: "Your Highness Qi Zu, there were 50,000 people following Mr. Xin when he left the city, nearly 20,000 of which were brothers of my Right Army. After being ambushed, he was only injured in ten thousand people. The fourth general rushed out with only 10,000 people. Then three days ago, five days ago, and only more than 7,000 brothers were left. Along the way, we lacked food and grass, and many brothers were injured and hungry... I, the fourth general, was incompetent, and more than a thousand people were starved to death. Many war horses had been slaughtered, but..."

"Are there no villages and towns along the way?" Feng Jixing said sternly: "Why not replenish food and grass in the villages and towns."

"Your Highness, I..."

Qin Yong trembled all over and knelt down on the ground again, saying, "The last general is incompetent, but the imperial military law is full of power, and it does not disturb the people. The villages and towns along the way have been looted by the bandits of the Tianji Empire. Many people are displaced and have no food. How can subordinates rob the soldiers? Those brothers of the Right Army who starved to death would rather die than rob the people. Please punish your highness...."

"good."

Feng Jixing's eyes were blurred and his voice was trembling: "Good, General Qin Yong, this is the model of the imperial soldiers... A year ago, His Highness Yu changed the military system and re-planned military salutes. He held the military hand with his left hand, which means 'Don't be brave and unrest, and martial arts do not violate the ban', General Qin Yong, you... You are more qualified to be a soldier of my Qin family than a surrender like Su Changyan."

"What." Qin Yong was stunned: "Su Changyan's deputy commander...he surrendered."

"What else."

Feng Jixing said with a cold face, "Su Changyan would easily sacrifice Muyu City without resisting. It is simply a shame to the empire and the Su family. Qin Yong, I appoint you the new commander of the Iron Blade Army. From now on, we will receive the returned Iron Blade Army scattered soldiers in Yunzhong Pass. After that, the troops we recruit will also be used to supplement the Iron Blade Army. Can you be this commander?"

Qin Yong was stunned for a moment, and instantly promoted from the command of the Right Army to the Iron Blade Army. The promotion of the rank was too fast, but there was no time to be happy. He felt more revenge in his heart, and he clasped his fists and said, "I will obey the order."

"Go to the pass, Zhang Wei, arrange the camp to the brothers of the Iron Blade Army, and immediately send the Linghuo Department to cook, so that everyone can have a full meal first."

Zhang Wei clasped his fists: "Yes, Your Highness."

...

Luo Yu stood beside Feng Jixing, watching the remaining defeated generals of the Iron Blade Army entering the city gate, and the indescribable heavy feeling in his heart was just like Feng Jixing's mood. Feng Jixing drew the last 50,000 iron cavalry from the Imperial Army, the Longtian Camp, and the Shenwei Camp to rush to Muyu City for a long distance, but he did not expect that such a result would be obtained.

The results of the ten famous generals' blood-stained battle on the battlefield may have been wasted just because of a surrendered general.
