Speaking of which, the Yang Family's ancestral temple had been worshiped for dozens of generations and had even built a protective array.
A protective array that could cover the entire country would require an immeasurable amount of resources. If it wasn't a strong country, it would at least have a "rich ancestor".
However, the protective array of the Yang Country had been broken several times during the turmoil in the Eastern Region.
This also showed the resilience of the Yang Country's regime. The protective array was broken several times, but it was repaired several times.
However, after Qi established his territory, the Yang Country's position became even more awkward.
Especially after the Yang Country became Qi's vassal state, the new emperor had to be conferred by Qi before he could be considered legitimate.
Who was this so-called "Great Nation-Protecting Array" guarding against? Would the State of Qi allow such a threat to exist right under their noses?
All of these made the Yang Country very troubled.
This matter was resolved in the end.
A "knowledgeable" official in the Yang Court suggested that since Qi and the Yang Country were one, why not connect the protective array of the Yang Country with Qi?
Sharing weal and woe, sharing both glory and fortune, isn't this the way of long-term stability?
No one knew the exact process, but this proposal was successfully passed.
This was also the reason why Chongxuan and Chu Liang could easily trap the Yang Country and lead the army to Red Tail County without breaking the protective array.
No matter how weak the Yang Country was, they couldn't let Qi control their protective array. However, after the two arrays were connected, it was easy for Qi to stop the protective array of the Yang Country.
In other words, the protective array of the Yang Country, which used up a lot of resources, was useless to Qi.
What was worth mentioning was that the minister who suggested the Yang Kingdom's National Defense Array and the Qi Kingdom's combined might had now settled down in the Qi Kingdom with his entire family and had gotten a decent job in the Qi Kingdom.
…
…
"Red Tail County is long and narrow. It was named after the tail of the Red Flame."
"Now that the Yang Country's regime is coming to an end, isn't it God's will?"
The warhorses of the Qiu Offense Army were mixed with the bloodline of demonic beasts. Therefore, even though Chung Geng Sheng's weight was shocking, the warhorse beneath him was still light and agile.
After the massacre in Rizhao Prefecture, Chongxuan and Chu Liang immediately mobilized the army. Jiang Wang and Chung Geng Sheng joined the army.
Qian Qian returned to Qingyang Town alone.
To him, he was not interested in Qi's achievements and fame. Instead, he wanted to protect Qingyang Town.
Accompanying Jiang Wang to the Rizhao Prefecture was not only because he supported Jiang Wang, but also because he hated the Song Guang rebels. Although Qingyang Town had a system, it still needed such a strong person to suppress accidents.
Merits were the most important in the military.
Chung Geng Sheng personally went to Rizhao Prefecture to negotiate and killed Song Guang, the governor of Rizhao Prefecture. After that, he went straight to the barracks and defeated the 70,000 soldiers.
Such a meritorious deed instantly gave him enough authority to speak in the Qiu Offense Army.
He arranged for Jiang Wang to follow the army in the name of an advisor, and no one dared to say anything.
At this moment, he was in high spirits, and many of the generals around him agreed.
Chongxuan and Chu Liang also rode on their warhorses and moved forward with the vast army.
Hearing this, he only said, "Don't underestimate Yang Jiande. The dust has not settled yet. If you lose because of your carelessness, don't blame me for being merciless! "
Chung Geng Sheng changed his arrogance and obediently bowed on the back of his horse. "Yes!"
Yang Jiande led the 210,000 soldiers from the west to the east. Chongxuan and Chu Liang personally led the 100,000 Qiu Offense Army from the east to the west. The Qi Army also had many auxiliary soldiers who worked together with the formation to lock down the entire Yang Country. However, they would not participate in the final battle.
In the entire Yang Country, the Qi Army was like a huge cage that trapped the Yang Country, and the Qiu Offense Army was the lock of the cage.
Yang Jiande led the army to break the lock.
It was not difficult to charge out from either side of the cage, but it was pointless.
And Chongxuan and Chu Liang's advance was like a hand reaching in from outside the cage to capture the prey in the cage.
Either Chongxuan and Chu Liang captured the prey and returned with a full load. Or Yang Jiande broke this hand and broke the cage.
Red Tail County was the battlefield chosen by both sides.
However, the similarity was that both sides were very cautious.
On the surface, each side had their own reasons.
Yang Country's military had been lax for a long time, and Yang Jiande had given up power for many years. Now, through killing the Crown Prince and a series of other actions, he had regained control of the military. Not to mention the administration, he needed to slowly move forward to familiarize himself with and control the army.
It could be said that he was being cautious, or it could be said that he was sharpening his spear at the last minute.
Yang Country could not afford to drag this out, so Yang Jiande sent his troops out of Hengyang County. However, when he could not afford to drag this out, before the final battle, he forcefully dragged it out.
Chung Geng Sheng would not fail to understand this, and Chongxuan and Chu Liang were not as lacking in confidence. Their conversation was just to suppress the arrogance in the army.
The Qiu Offense Army was one of the nine soldiers of Qi, and they had been famous for a long time. They would not treat the Yang Army as an equal opponent. Especially when Chung Geng Sheng did not bring a single soldier to disperse the 70,000 soldiers stationed in Rizhao County. This made the Qiu Offense Army especially disdainful of the Yang Army.
However, due to Chongxuan and Chu Liang's strict management of the army, they did not dare to show their arrogance.
In the entire army, only Chung Geng Sheng could show his arrogance because of his great contributions. This was a good opportunity to teach Chongxuan and Chu Liang a lesson to correct the attitude of the army.
The Qiu Offense Army's progress was slow because Chongxuan and Chu Liang had changed their style of using troops.
The entire army seemed to be destroying cities and fortresses along the way, wiping out all resistance, collecting surrendered soldiers, checking for the plague, and crushing everything inch by inch.
Every step was careful, completely different from the few battles that made him famous.
Intentionally or unintentionally, in the space between the two armies that was gradually shrinking … some kind of change was happening.
The Sacred Lord of the White Bone Path, who came from Zhuang Country, was still frantically absorbing the plague gas.
In the empty space in the forest, he was floating in mid-air.
From all directions, a tangible but immaterial force kept surging into this place.
The pale white smoke seemed to have solidified, making this place look like a desolate and dangerous place.
Occasionally, when the smoke fluctuated greatly, one could clearly see the Sacred Lord of the White Bone Path.
He was completely naked. His body, which could be considered skinny, seemed to have something swimming under his skin. His skin bulged and flattened, repeating this process over and over again.
Sometimes, one could see his bones twisting strangely, and even the white bones pierced out of his skin and flesh. However, they quickly shrank back and were covered again.
His body … seemed to be mutating and reorganizing in some way.
Only his face remained expressionless. In contrast, he looked especially ferocious and terrifying.
Heaven and earth were like a furnace, the plague gas was like fire, and his body was like a pill.
In the pale white smoke, there was always a singing voice. It was faintly discernible, and it seemed to be intermittent.
If one listened carefully, the singing voice was singing —
"Heaven and earth are heartless, the king's kindness is unrequited, the kindness of his family does not exist, and the kindness of his master becomes enmity.
"The five relationships are impermanent, and the seven emotions are destroyed! Stepping on my door of life and death, wearing my black and white scarf.
"Killing my old intentions, sending me to my death!"
The survivors of Maplewood City would probably never forget it.
It was … the Song of White Bones.
…
…
PS: The following does not count.
I wrote so much that my heart was surging. Unfortunately, there were very few people who saw this scene with me. There was a kind of loneliness of a sword that carried the benefits of the world.
Let's do an update measure. Let's limit it to next week to test the water.
It's not only to guide the enthusiasm of the readers, but also to force me to work harder.
First of all, the alliance leader will add one update, which will be fixed in the future.
Then, the most important thing about the novel is the subscription, which is related to whether the editor will recommend and various website resources. (Roaring: Why am I still running naked! My abs have been seen!)
The website doesn't recommend new authors, so I ask everyone to help recommend and let more people know about the Red Heart Survey.
As of now, the average subscription is 321.
If I can add 100 subscriptions next week, I will add one update. If I add 200, it will be two updates. There is no limit!
Then, there are the recommendation votes. This week's recommendation votes are 1755.
Then next week, if I can add 1,000 recommendation votes, I will add one chapter. This will be capped at three chapters. (Everyone, don't buy votes. Fake prosperity is boring. I want the votes of real readers. Only then will there be a real sense of power.)
This week's monthly votes are 124. On this basis, for every 100 votes, I will add one chapter. This will also be capped at three chapters.
I write very slowly, but I will definitely do what I promise. I will make up for what I owe as soon as possible. Please don't worry and increase your stakes.
I also want to see how much I can add next week, and how much I can do.
That's all. I will advance from the top, middle, and bottom. Next week, let's fight!
