Chapter 75: Dark Clouds Overcome the City
The next afternoon.
On the south side of Yangshuo County, Xu Buling led a big dark horse to cross mountains and ridges and walk out of the mountains. The old and young villages stood on the top of the mountain and watched from afar.
Zhongli Jiujiu and Zhongli Chuchu walked at the end, looking back from time to time, saying goodbye to the elders and villagers, with complex emotions in their eyes.
This time I left, I went thousands of miles away, and I may never return to this place where I grew up in the future.
However, the master and apprentice did not feel much reluctant. After all, a long time ago, their home was already next to Xu Buling, not in the small courtyard on the hillside. As long as the home is in front of you, no matter how far you go, you will see the dawn. There is nothing to be reluctant to leave.
Chen Sining walked in front, and her emotions were also complicated. She was isolated from the outside of the Eighteen Villages, so she could not think about things that could not be changed, but once she stepped out of the mountains, she would restore her identity as the third princess of Nanyue. From tomorrow on, everything she would see and encounter were unknown. What she would wait in front was probably the despair of the building that was about to collapse but could not do anything.
At this moment, walking on the road, Chen Sining suddenly missed the time she cooked in Shiba Village. At least in that small kitchen, she didn't have to face these things that were destined to be powerless to change.
Xu Buling walked beside Chen Sining and found that Chen Sining was in a wrong mood. He thought about it:
"All said that this is not something you, a daughter, should consider. In fact, I can't even control it. I can only follow the trend. This is like a full-load of chariots. I am in the front. The only thing I can do is to choose a road with the smallest range, crush all obstacles, and arrive at the destination smoothly, instead of stepping on the spot or turning around. Because once I stop, I will be washed into pieces by the load of goods behind and replaced by others to take the helm."
Chen Sining walked slowly with a scimitar on his waist and said softly: "I know what you mean. But no matter how weak Nanyue is, there are hundreds of thousands of troops. It is not that easy for you to crush it. Not all the troops and officials are the same as those in Liuzhou."
Xu Buling shook his head and smiled: "Not all troops are called troops. Although it is a bit hurtful, the fact is that. Dayue never took Nanyue seriously from beginning to end, and stopped fighting in front of Jiazi because Nanyue's terrain was too poor and the strong enemy was in the north. After being put down, the Chen family of Nanyue was very aware of it and never provoked Dayue every year..."
"Then why do you want to fight against us?"
"Because it is no longer your Chen family who is in charge of the Nanyue family. The treacherous party led by Duke An Guo secretly expanded its army and studied the Mad King Gu, which threatened the safety of the rear of Chu. I cannot turn a blind eye to it. If your father is there, it is impossible for him to do such a taboo thing at such a dangerous moment."
“…”
As the third princess of Nanyue, Chen Sining definitely didn't want to admit the bad side of her country, so she just snorted lightly.
Xu Buling walked up to a small hill, and suddenly became clear ahead, and appeared outside the mountains along the small plains of Liujiang. He raised the horse whip in his hand and pointed at the coast of Liujiang:
"arrive."
Chen Sining was still frowning and thinking, and now she looked up and her eyes suddenly widened a little.
I saw a black flag waving in the autumn wind half inside and outside, and the black-armored soldiers who could not see the end were neatly arranged on both sides of the river. The endless view of the bleak autumn wind brought a bit of solemnity.
The solemn military power is like a surging torrent condensed between valleys. It will tilt out if there is any movement of wind and grass, destroying everything in front of you, but it is still motionless, making the world depressed and subconsciously stagnant even breathing.
"this……"
Chen Sining's eyes could not hide her surprise. If Xu Buling hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have noticed that there were so many soldiers and horses standing under the mountains, and there was not even a strange noise from the horses. It can be seen how strict the military discipline was.
No wonder……
Just when he saw this army for the first time, Chen Sining understood why the Yanshan Pass was broken overnight. In front of such an army, the soldiers and horses of South Vietnam were all promoted by the mobs. Maybe they stood here and the South Vietnamese army had lost their courage.
Xu Buling stood upright, stood at a high place in the mountains, and pulled out his sword from his waist.
On the bank of Liujiang River, the general Yang Zunyi, holding a horse spear, quickly walked to the front of the formation and said loudly:
"The last general Yang Zunyi, see Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"See Your Highness!"
Thousands of sounds were like thunder in the sun, exploding across the river, and then it was solemn and silent.
Chen Sining's heart was a little nervous, and subconsciously took two steps back, avoiding tens of thousands of dazzling gazes, and aimed at Xu Buling's tall back.
Xu Buling raised his long sword, pointed to Yongzhou, and said loudly:
"strike camp!"
"promise!"
Dongdongdongdongdong-
The war drums are like thunder.

The 20,000 Xiliang Army, which had already been assembled, marched towards the southwest under the leadership of the commander.
More than thirty cannons, covered with black cloth, were pushed deep grooves on the dirt official road under the guidance of the pack horse.
Seeing all this, Chen Sining suddenly understood what it means to be unstoppable. When General Xu Lie was able to scare the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms so much that they dared not call him by his name.
Xu Buling's martial arts are already desperate enough, and the oppression of this army is far more terrifying than Xu Buling. After all, Xu Buling can kill at most 1,230, and the silent army below is enough to crush everything in front of him.
Xu Buling Pingtan put away his sword and looked back at Chen Sining:
"Let's go."
“…”
Chen Sining pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She just followed Xu Buling's footsteps silently and walked a long way before asking in a low voice:
"Do you want to unify the world?"
Xu Buling turned over and shook his head and sighed:
"It's not that I want to unify the world, it's that all the people in the world want to unify."
After the words came, the horse galloped and went to the front of the army...
------
From Yangshuo County, Liuzhou to Yongzhou City, Nanyue, the distance is 500 miles.
On the day after Liuzhou was lost, the Nanyue court mobilized a large number of troops from the surrounding area to the capital, stationed heavy troops on the front line from Liuzhou to Yongzhou, trying to block the pace of the Western Liang army, and sent a letter of state to ask for help from Emperor Dongyue Song Shaoying.
But the cruel reality made Nanyue understand why he was called a "small border country" by Dayue, and why Song Shaoying dared to withdraw his elite troops to Jiangnan, leaving Nanyue with such a big "opportunity"; because the gap between the national strength of the two countries is too big.
Just like the Northern Qi Dynasty endured humiliation and counterattacked the Central Plains for 60 years, only by truly fighting can we understand how terrifying the opponent has been.
