On February 27, the second year of Ganli, the northern army of the Ganjun attacked the Handan Prefecture of Zhili Province. The White Lotus Sect and Red Lotus Sect bandits set up layers of defense, which were unstoppable.

The soldiers of the Gan Army were all so sharp that they could not help but sounded the horn of the attack, so the Northern Army was as powerful as the bamboo. By March 7, they had penetrated Handan Prefecture and entered Shunde Prefecture.

After killing Yu Shuangtian, Ouyang Ye did not leave, but followed the army northward.

The White Lotus Sect originally had four or five innate realms, and later annexed the remnants of the Red Lotus Sect. In addition, the masters of the Green Lotus Sect may also be hidden in Zhili Province. Therefore, if Ouyang Ye is not included, the number of innate masters of the Ganjun Northern Route Army is still less than that of the three major cults.

But with Ouyang Ye in charge, the innate realm of the three cults dare not show up.

If the innate warriors were not counted as combat power in the army, and the military armor and general qualities of the army now, no army in the world could match them.

Today, whether it is the two small courts in Dayu or the separatist forces in various places, most ordinary soldiers are still wearing cloth armor and felt hats mixed with iron sheets, and the weapons in their hands are also ordinary goods. Those who can wear most soldiers and generals in leather armor are already considered elite soldiers.

With cooperation with the scientific research department, the Ministry of Industry of Ganguo has repeatedly expanded the previous model of Ganguo Weapon Workshop, widely used simple machine tools such as forging hammers driven by hydraulic power and animal power, and adopted assembly line operations. In addition, each product can be investigated for individuals according to the label, so the weapons are not only produced quickly, but also are quite excellent.

By the beginning of this year, before the Northern Route Army launched an attack on Zhili Province, all of them had been replaced.

Now, whether the generals or ordinary soldiers of the Ganjun Northern Army were wearing iron helmets and armor, holding refined sharp blades, and crossbowmen were replaced with automatic crossbows.

In addition, there are large weapons such as catapults, eight ox crossbows, cloud chariots, ladder chariots, and sharp siege weapons. Even Handan City, known as the thousand-year-old iron wall, were also attacked by the Ganjun North Route Army without using innate warriors in the half day!

Ordinary soldiers were immersed in the pleasure of constantly defeating the enemy, siegeing cities and camps, and beheading and making meritorious contributions, and did not feel anything.

But Yang Erqing, as the commander of the Northern Army, soon realized something was wrong. Later, after discussing with Liu Sheng and others, he came to Ouyang Ye to explain the situation.

"You mean that the White Lotus Sect deliberately intercepted one layer to slow down our army's advance north?" After hearing Yang Erqing and others explain the situation, Ouyang Ye concluded.

Yang Erqing nodded and said, "That's right."

"You think it's wrong for the White Lotus Sect to do this." Ouyang Ye said again.

Yang Erqing nodded again and said, "Regardingly speaking, after Yu Shuangtian was killed by the king, the White Lotus Sect had no support in terms of masters. Now their innate warriors dare not show up, which is the best proof.

In this case, if the White Lotus Sect does not want to give up fighting for the world, it should actively shrink its troops like the previous actions of the Red Lotus Sect in Henan Province, and gain time by giving up the prefectures and counties in front of them, and retain strength for the future battle with our army.

But now, the White Lotus Sect has sent bandits to defend the enemy in every important city. Although this has greatly slowed down the speed of our army's advance north, the White Lotus Sect's bandits have also suffered huge losses.

If this continues, the White Lotus Sect will find a master who can compete with the king in the future. I am afraid that there will be not many soldiers below."

After hearing Yang Erqing talk about this, Ouyang Ye couldn't help but say: "The White Lotus Sect and I are actually very different in military construction. We are elite soldiers and soldiers training for a long time. The soldiers and armor on the soldiers are also valuable, so every soldier is very precious.

But most of the bandits of the White Lotus Sect were the strong men among the ordinary people who were bewitched by them before, so they had to give them a knife and tie a white scarf on their heads. Even if there were more soldiers, it would be easy to pull out a team.

Liang Xuan and others don’t care about the lives and deaths of these people. It is normal for those who have been deceived to die and buy time for them.”

Yang Erqing frowned and said, "We have considered what the king said, but still don't think it makes sense. Because the White Lotus Sect soldiers guarding each place are led by elite soldiers.

As far as we know, these elites are the old foundation of the White Lotus Sect and the old camp when they first started to rise. These elites suffered heavy losses. If they were finished, they would want to pull out the team in the future. Without the people from the old camp as their backbone, they would only be a mob."

At this time, Liu Sheng added: "King, we actually think that the White Lotus Sect is so irresistible that the death and wounded of the sects are blocking our northward advance, and there is a conspiracy. Therefore, we hope that the Rain Division can mobilize more forces to sneak into the enemy's backbone and investigate it carefully."

conspiracy?

What conspiracy can be there?

It's just to find another realm of Hedao.

However, there are only a handful of Hedao Realm in the world. Apart from Yu Shuangtian and Guan Shanqiao's master Tianyue Zhenren, Ouyang Ye didn't know if there were any other Hedao Realm.

Could it be that the Xianshan Sect on Yingzhou Island has a more powerful Hedao Realm?

Thinking of this, Ouyang Ye couldn't help but feel that he should have interrogated Cai Yunmu and asked if there were any other realms of Hedao in the Xianshan Sect.

Unfortunately, it's too late to think about this now.

After coming back to his senses, Ouyang Ye agreed to the request of Yang Erqing and others, preparing to ask the Yu army to send more personnel to sneak into the enemy's back to explore more information.

Shortly after Yang Erqing and others left, the communications department staff of the army sent Ouyang Ye a pigeon letter written to him by Guan Shanqiao.

After reading the pigeon letter, a glimmer flashed through Ouyang Ye's eyes.

"Sword Madman?"

Guan Shanqiao wrote this letter after learning that Ouyang Ye had killed Yu Shuangtian and the Qian Army's Northern Route Army attacked Zhili.

The content of the letter was to report to Ouyang Ye that the separatist forces in Sichuan were unified by the King of Heavenly Prefecture and the existence of Jian Kuang, the Hedao Realm.

Of course, Guan Shanqiao also mentioned the Tianyue Zhenren and said that Tianyue Zhenren is likely to come back to find Ouyang Ye. If Ouyang Ye wants to learn more about the sword maniac, he can talk to Tianyue Zhenren.

Ouyang Ye was very interested in Tianyue Zhenren. After all, this might be the first realm of harmony with him to communicate normally.

As for Yu Shuangtian, since his appearance, he has been standing in a position of immortality with Ouyang Ye. The only few conversations between the two have been inexplicably elusive and cannot be considered normal communication at all.

The next day, Ouyang Ye had just had breakfast and was reading a martial arts secret book, when a young general came to report that an old Taoist priest came to the gate to ask for a meeting, claiming to be an old friend of Guan Shanqiao.

When Ouyang Ye heard this, he thought of Tianyue Zhenren, and immediately asked someone to lead the old Taoist priest into the military camp, and he greeted him outside the tent.

In this way, he will neither be rude nor will he appear humble when facing the old Hedao Realm.

A little leaned over, an old Taoist priest with a gray-bearded and rosy complexion as a baby. In addition to other special features, he was led to the tent by the young general.

Although this old Taoist priest looks like those wise men who wander around the world and deceive others, Ouyang Ye was sure of it all at once. This person is Tianyue Zhenren.

Because he couldn't lock in this person's aura.

After Ouyang Ye entered the Hedao Realm, although his power would not be released, as long as others entered a certain range around him, he could lock the man's aura - that is, he would have the confidence to slap the man to death.

However, when facing this old Taoist priest, Ouyang Ye lost this feeling.

There is only one explanation, that is, this old Taoist priest is also in the realm of Taoism, has his own power, and is not weak.
