Chapter 66: Soaring up and crossing the great formation!
Dayang Palace.

The haze that had shrouded the palace for many days seemed to have suddenly dissipated.

Emperor Hongsheng sat in the palace, holding his concubines in his arms, with a smile on his face.

He looked at Cai Song in front of him and said with a smile: "Cai Qing's family, Wu Xuan Wang Chen Xiongtu is really worthy of being your son-in-law!"

"I never thought that in front of the Pingxi Army, the Beiliang Iron Cavalry was just a pile of loose sand!"

"If I had known this, I should have sent Chen Xiongtu to the northern border..."

In recent days, there have been reports of battles coming from Chuzhou City one after another.

The Beiliang cavalry that were heading south were stopped by the Pingxi Army!

and.

The Beiliang cavalry attacked the city for several days in a row, but were repelled by the Pingxi Army every time!

The city of Chuzhou has become impregnable in the hands of Chen Xiongtu!
Cai Song stood in front with a respectful attitude.

He chuckled and shook his head at Emperor Hongsheng.

"Your Majesty is the emperor of the dynasty, and Xu Beichen is just a traitor. How could he possibly shake the country of Dayang?"

"What's more, Chen Xiongtu has already sent a report."

"At the latest one month later, the Beiliang Iron Cavalry will either retreat to Jinzhou City or collapse on their own!"

He obviously already knew about Chen Xiongtu's arrangements in Chuzhou City.

Now the Pingxi Army has gained the upper hand in Chuzhou City!

Everything was as they had arranged before.

In this battle, the Pingxi Army was not only able to defeat the Beiliang Cavalry, but also did not lose too much manpower.

This way.

When the Beiliang cavalry ran out of food and fodder, they collapsed.

By then.

In the entire Dayang territory, the most powerful army is the Pingxi Army!

In the court, he, the Prime Minister Dayang, holds the sole power over the government.

Outside the court, there is Chen Xiongtu who leads an army of 200,000 soldiers to Pingxi!

As for Beimang...

Thinking of this, a faint light flashed in his eyes.

And this time.

Emperor Hongsheng had already kissed the concubine in his arms and laughed out loud.

"Mr. Cai, in your opinion, should I reward Chen Xiongtu?"

Hear the words.

Cai Song immediately put on an increasingly respectful attitude and shook his head hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

"It is a great honor for Chen Xiongtu to have been blessed by Your Majesty and be granted the title of Prince."

"Besides, he is not Xu Beichen, why does he need to be rewarded?"

The art of controlling those above you must be done slowly and carefully.

Cai Song knew very well that although Emperor Hongsheng was a tyrant, he was also suspicious by nature.

Now that the strength displayed by Chen Xiongtu is stronger than Xu Beichen, Emperor Hongsheng inevitably feels a little fearful!
But for these.

Cai Song dealt with it with ease.

really.

After hearing Cai Song's words, Emperor Hongsheng showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Cai Qing's family, you two, the father-in-law and the son-in-law, are indeed loyal to the court!"

"But when the Pingxi Army defeats the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry and performs a great feat, how can I not reward them?"

In response, Cai Song just shook his head and smiled.

"Your Majesty, Chen Xiongtu is definitely not as ambitious as Xu Beichen!"

"We also hope that even if Your Majesty rewards him again in the future, he will not be promoted."

"At most, we can confer some titles on him."

"I only hope that we can help your majesty share your worries!"

These words are truly from the heart!
Emperor Hongsheng nodded and no longer had any doubts.

but.

He seemed to have thought of something and grinned.

"It's rare to have a loyal minister like Cai Qing in the court!"

"Let's put it this way. Chen Xiongtu has made great contributions in repelling the enemy. Although he has not yet defeated the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, he still deserves a reward!"

"Get a pen and paper!"

As he said this, he stood up from the imperial couch.

The old eunuch who was serving on the side hurriedly took out paper and pen and spread them on the table.

Cai Song stepped forward and waited for Emperor Hongsheng to pick up the pen to write.

Soon, four big words appeared on the paper.

Those are clearly the four words "pillar of the country"!
"Then give this calligraphy of mine to King Wu Xuan!"

……

Chuzhou City.

Chen Xiongtu walked to the top of the city wall and glanced outside the city.

He sneered but said nothing.

Behind him, Qu Jun and others were following closely.

only.

At this time, Qu Jun and others looked at the scene outside the city, their faces turned pale.

Outside the city, the Beiliang cavalry were clearly marching towards Chuzhou City!
For many days.

This situation happens almost every day!
Even in their Chuzhou city, there is such a large formation to protect them.

But when they saw the murderous display of the Beiliang cavalry, they still couldn't help but feel frightened!

I’m afraid that at any time, the great formation that protects the entire Chuzhou City will be defeated!
To know.

It had only been seven days since the Northern Liang cavalry first attacked the city.

However, the sky above the entire Chuzhou city has turned blood red!

Even in the daytime.

The sun was high in the sky, but even the sunlight that shone into Chuzhou City was blood-red!

Only the three beams of light representing the immortals on land still emitted a softer glow.

"Your Majesty, are these Northern Liang cavalry trying to confront us?"

Qu Jun felt helpless.

"It's clear that they can't take over our Chuzhou City, so why do they keep attacking every day?"

The Northern Liang cavalry could just change their route to Liangzhou and Jizhou!

But Chen Xiongtu smiled coldly.

"They just want to consume as much power as possible from the formation."

"As for changing the route..."

But he didn't say anything more.

If the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry dares to change its route to Liangzhou and Jizhou, then the Pingxi Army will completely cut off the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry's retreat!
By then.

The Beiliang cavalry faced resistance from the entire Dayang Army in front, and had to face encirclement from the Pingxi Army in the back.

The only best option for the Beiliang Cavalry is to attack from Chuzhou City!

but.

Xu Beichen underestimated him after all!

For this battle, he prepared a total of 350,000 able-bodied men.

How can it be completely consumed?

"kill!"

And this time.

The sounds of shouting and killing could be heard outside Jinzhou City.

The Beiliang Cavalry has launched a new round of offensive!
But in such a situation, Chen Xiongtu didn't even need to make special arrangements for the battle.

The soldiers of the Pingxi Army can then organize a counterattack with ease.

Chen Xiongtu looked far ahead, his gaze seemed to penetrate the battlefield and fall into the depths of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry Army camp.

Look at Xu Beichen!
"At this point, Xu Beichen, you should be anxious, right?"

"It's no use worrying!"

Of course Xu Beichen couldn't hear him talking to himself.

Actually.

Chen Xiongtu couldn't see Xu Beichen deep in the Beiliang Iron Cavalry camp...

because.

At this time, Xu Beichen was not in the Beiliang Iron Cavalry Army camp at all!

……

The sky was divided into two completely different scenes almost with Jinzhou City as the boundary.

In the north, white clouds are like fish scales, densely covering the sky.

However, the sky above Chuzhou City was blood red.

It seemed that even the clouds were dyed with blood!

And at this time.

In the vast white clouds in front of Jinzhou City.

There was a figure, step by step, stepping into the void, rising up!

Ladder to the clouds!
And this figure was none other than Xu Beichen!
He was constantly climbing higher and higher, as if he wanted to cross the entire sky!
