Xie Xibian nodded and said, "Being beaten is not because Xie Xibian is looking down on the heroes of the world. It is because our Da Chu has the advantage and is not a cause for concern. When the Xu family's Iron Cavalry went south, our Great General Shoujiang rebelled. However, we still made Xu Xiao suffer a lot on the two fronts of the Huai and River. The battle at the Tomb of the Princess, the Great Halberd Warriors defending Jinghe, and then the decisive battle at West Leibi. In addition, there were many small and medium-sized battles. Which one of them was not beaten to the point where only bones were left and not meat were left? At that time, it was almost to the point where today, Xu Xiao gave Chu Lushan three thousand soldiers and horses, and he could defeat everyone on the same day. If it were not for Chen Zhibao's military strategy that was at the pinnacle of haggling over every detail, and if it were not for Yuan Zuozong, who had an excellent view of the overall situation, who was able to win several crucial battles in a row, Xu Xiao might not have been able to defeat West Leibi like a snake swallowing an elephant … "
When the young man said this, Grand Preceptor Sun Xiji suddenly lamented, "Unfortunately, there is no 'if' in history. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The great Da Chu became the fallen West Chu, and Li Yang became the ruler of the world. In fact, at that time, Da Chu looked at Li Yang the same way Li Yang looks at Beimang now. They were both uncivilized barbarians. Even if they put on the scholar's robes, they were still not worth mentioning."
Xie Xibian respected the Grand Preceptor and waited quietly for a moment. Seeing that the old man had nothing else to say, he continued, "Now that the war between Li Yang and our Da Chu is about to begin, the people of the Zhao clan are not satisfied and think that victory is within their grasp. They are multitasking and want to win on both sides of the chessboard at the same time. One is to win against us, the other is to win against the world. Li Yang wants to borrow Da Chu's saber to kill people and chop off the last breath of the remnants of the Spring and Autumn people. That will depend on whether they have the ability to hold this saber tightly. So we have to strike quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. In the end, Great Peace City only has two Ping Vassals. One is Gu Jiantang's old faction that has long moved north to the Liangliao border. The other is a new faction led by Lu Baijie and Lu Shengxiang of the Ministry of War. Gu Jiantang is under the control of Beimang, and Lu Shengxiang has yet to fully develop his wings and is leading troops south. If we don't kill them now, when will we? "
Pei Sui frowned and said, "Lu Shengxiang is an old man of the Guangling Spring Snow Building. He is not unfamiliar with us. Won't he have a countermeasure?"
Xie Xibian shook his head and said, "Lu Shengxiang knowing is one thing, whether he can do it or not is another. Just talk about the Ministry of War. Lu Shengxiang is only the Left Assistant Minister, not even a minister. How can he control Yang Shenxing and Yan Zhenchun, these old generals who have made meritorious contributions during the Spring and Autumn Period? Besides … "
Pei Sui smiled and said, "You don't need to say the second half of your thanks. I know. The son of the Zhao family is incomparably conceited. Perhaps he is intentionally giving us a taste of the sweetness. Just as you said, the armies of the vassals are all bait. Since the Liyang imperial court dares to have such disdainful thoughts, there is no harm in openly climbing up the pole."
Xie Xibian smiled knowingly.
Sun Xiji walked into the beacon and climbed the stairs to the top. He gazed at the rolling Eastern Dying Water at the foot of the mountain. Other than Cao Changqing and Jiang Ni, the others had intentionally or unintentionally retreated far away.
The old man said faintly, "The Imperial Court has asked me to return here to be the Administrator of the Guangling Path. There are only four words, please enter the jar."
Cao Changqing said softly, "The forces of Zhulu Mountain and the spies of Huang San Jia around the Guangling Path are all for us to use."
The old man turned his head to look at this Confucian Saint. He said with a sigh, "Changqing, Da Chu has dragged you down."
The Dragon Carp of the Cao family was the proudest. After entering the palace at a young age, he studied under the Imperial Advisor Li Mi and made his debut in the Imperial Palace of Da Chu. After that, he was unknown for more than a decade. He was always a chess piece waiting for the emperor's orders. After Da Chu was destroyed, if this Cao Guanzi had not fought against Great Peace City alone, who would have remembered that there were still people in Da Chu?!
Cao Changqing shook his head and said, "Old Grand Preceptor, you know what I want, and know that I have no regrets."
The old man put his hands on the brick wall.
Luo Hu and Qiu Feng Sui, a young Master Feng who was on duty, had such a large group of people standing on the top floor. He could only hold his halberd and shrink into a corner. But he could not suppress his excitement. Old Grand Preceptor, Cao Guanzi, and the Princess. If he could see any one of them, his life would have been worth it!
When Master Feng, who had a sword at his waist, saw the woman with the red sandalwood sword box walk towards him, he was stunned.
The beautiful woman who was famed in Great Peace City for her sword reached out with a finger. Master Feng's sword came out of its sheath and landed in her hand. She looked at the old sword that had just been taken out of the armory and saw the light of day again. She used her finger to wipe away some of the rust that normal people could not wipe away. She flicked her finger and it gave off a string of tinkling sounds like wind chimes.
Master Feng did not know how to take the sword from the Princess' hands. He was completely distracted.
Sun Xiji and Cao Changqing looked at each other and smiled.
Jiang Ni said softly, "I will go to the Western Wall to take a look."
Cao Changqing nodded.
The young woman put two fingers together and swiped forward. The Great Liang Dragon Sparrow came out of its sheath. She stood on the sword and floated down like an immortal. Then she made a sharp turn and rushed along the river to the ruins of the Western Wall.
Lv Sichu walked quickly to the side of the building and looked at the figure in a daze. The youth had seen the Princess in the Red Deer Cave in Jiangnan a long time ago. But he remembered that at that time, Sister Jiang was lazy when practicing the sword. Her realm was not high. She had only learned the magical art of controlling the sword. But when she controlled the sword in the air, she was only a few feet above the ground and was shaky. The youth only knew that Sister Jiang had gone to Beiliang and Beimang, and her realm had improved rapidly. He could not even flatter her. In the past, he had to look up to her. He felt that it would be even more so in the future. The youth sighed. He did not know what kind of man Sister Jiang Ni would like in the future. In any case, it would not be him, Lv Sichu.
Sun Xiji suddenly lowered his voice and said indignantly, "That Xu family's son is not worthy of our Princess!"
Cao Changqing's eyes were gentle. He said softly, "I don't know where he started, and I don't know where he will end."
The Grand Preceptor was still angry and snorted.
Cao Changqing had a sentence in his heart.
Hsu Fengnian, if one day I, Cao Changqing, turn from a scholar to a tyrant and become an Earth Immortal twice in my life, if I am still unable to protect the Princess, don't disappoint me!
