Volume 1 Chapter 96 Bai Qi Goes to War
Bai Qi had actually agreed to the three priests' proposal a long time ago. He was not afraid of death, but he also did not want to drag his innocent relatives and friends to death.
Moreover, he could extract more secrets from the Third Priest, allowing him to have a more thorough understanding of the world. Bai Qi would of course be happy to see it happen.
It can be said that this trip to the palace allowed him to re-acquaint himself with this world and see many secrets that the lower-class people did not know.
Just like this list of geniuses!
Princess Anyang also stared at the three priests without blinking, like a curious baby.
When the Third Honored One saw that Bai Qi had agreed to his request, he smiled and said:
"The Tianjiao Ranking lists the young geniuses of all the sects, royal families, and other forces in our Shenzhou."
"Those who make it onto the Heavenly Pride Ranking may be directly accepted as disciples by immortals and gods."
"Every 12 years, the immortal gods descend upon this world and will recruit the top disciple to take back to the immortal god world."
"The Tianjiao Ranking is divided into four categories: Tiandi Xuanhuang."
"You, Bai Qi, are currently ranked at the lowest level of the Yellow List, probably around 3,300th."
After the third priest finished speaking, he directly ordered the fourteenth priest to go to the worship hall and get a list.
The fourteen priests followed the order and immediately disappeared from everyone's sight.
Princess Anyang closed her red lips tightly, her eyes full of horror. It turned out that those who made it to the list of geniuses could be directly accepted as disciples by immortals and gods.
Then you can reach the sky in one step!
Bai Qi didn’t think so much. He didn’t want to be a disciple of the immortal gods at all. He wanted to kill the immortal gods.
But just looking at the list of geniuses made Bai Qi think of more things. How many sects are there in this world?
He is now at the third level of the innate realm. Even if those who are making the list are not clear about his own strength, he has at least displayed the strength of the second level of the innate realm before.
Even so, he could only be ranked at the last of the four lists of Tiandi Xuanhuang, and his ranking was more than 3,300th.
How many people are there in the entire Shenzhou?
He didn't know any of these geniuses, but there was one person he was very familiar with: the Fourteenth Lord, Eunuch Huang, had not yet retrieved the list.
But Bai Qi couldn't wait to know, "Where will the Demon Buddha Saint Son rank on the Tianjiao List?"
The Third Priest smiled and said, "I knew you wanted to ask this question a long time ago. In the Tianjiao Ranking I got before, the Demon Buddha Saint Son was ranked twelfth on the Xuan Ranking."
When Princess Anyang heard the ranking, she was even more shocked. She was secretly afraid that if the Demon Buddha Saint used his full strength, they would never be able to get out of the grassland.
Bai Qi was even more surprised: Is this guy so strong?
Why didn’t you feel it at that time?
It seems like he is really paddling.
That’s right, the Demon Buddha Saint only used the power of his divine mind at that time and never confronted him head-on. Who knows if this guy has any other means.
Soon, the 14th priest, Eunuch Huang, took out a list and threw it directly to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi unfolded it and saw that there were probably several thousand people listed on the list of geniuses.
And he was almost in the last few dozen.
"Well, now that you have obtained the Tianjiao Ranking and have been told what you wanted to know, you should lead your troops to the battle and protect the territory of our Great Zhou!"
The third priest waved his hand. He really didn't want to see Bai Qi again. Bai Qi gave him a very dangerous feeling, so dangerous that he wanted to slap Bai Qi to death at any time.
But he didn't dare to do so. After killing Bai Qi, the Zhou Dynasty might be destroyed in an instant.
He couldn't bear the consequences.
So after the three priests finished speaking, their figures disappeared like the wind, which made Emperor Dazhong and others smack their lips in amazement.
The Great Zhou Emperor said to Bai Qi:
"I will immediately issue an order to appoint you as the deputy marshal against the Xiongnu. You only need to be responsible to Yang Wudi. I hope you will not let down the people behind you!"
He won't say anything now, so as not to let down the royal family of the Great Zhou.
Bai Qi will not give face to the royal family.
Bai Qi nodded slightly, then turned and left.
………………
Outside the palace gate, Qin Pojun, Yang Tianbao, Yue Yunlei and others were wearing armor and sitting upright on their horses, followed by their personal guards.
The three of them raised their heads and looked towards the palace gate, each of them extremely anxious.
He was afraid that Bai Qi would be plotted against by the emperor.
Yang Paifeng, who was standing by, couldn't wait any longer, so he put the helmet on his head and said anxiously, "If not, let's just rush in. It's not a good idea to just wait here."
Yang Tianbao was very upset, thinking that his sister was too hot-tempered. "With your temper, you may not be able to get married in the future!"
"roll!"
Yang Paifeng rolled his eyes. How could he curse his own sister like that?
Don’t you know how popular I am in the army?
There are many generals who want to marry me!
Just as they were anxiously waiting, Bai Qi strode out. Qin Pojun and others immediately dismounted and surrounded Bai Qi.
Yang Paifeng even patted Bai Qi on the body and said in a careless manner: "Are you okay? Are you missing any limbs? Don't you know how scared I was!"
"What kind of place in the palace do you dare to enter?"
"Be careful. That dog emperor will tell you that you molested his maid. The worshippers of the Great Zhou royal family can kill you on the spot at any time!"
"Have you thought about this?"
Yang Paifeng kept talking, but his concern was evident in his words.
Bai Qi felt warm in his heart, thinking that these brothers who had fought with him on the battlefield were reliable.
He smiled and gestured to everyone, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine, and I'll be leading the army to war soon."
I'm glad you're okay!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
When Yang Paifeng heard that there was going to be a war, he immediately forgot his previous worries and said with anticipation:
"Let's go, let's go together! We must do something big this time."
"I'm going too!"
"I feel like I'm wasting my time in the capital. The battlefield is more comfortable!"
Qin Pojun, Yang Tianbao, Yue Yunlei and others also looked excited.
Just now they saw the messenger and had already asked the soldiers on the front line.
The eyes of several people were filled with fighting spirit. They had been staying in the capital for such a long time and it was too boring. They had long wanted to go to the front line and have a good fight.
But Yue Yunlei and Qin Pojun looked at each other, their eyes filled with depression.
Yue Yunlei said: "I want to return to the Yue Army. My father has always wanted to launch a war to destroy Beiliang, and this is the best time.
"In this battle we are going to destroy the Northern Liang Dynasty. It's a pity that you, Bai Qi, are going to Honghuacheng, otherwise we can fight side by side."
He felt extremely regretful that he could not fight alongside Bai Qi.
Qin Pojun curled his lips and said, "I'm bored over there. Western Chu said they want to attack Great Zhou, but who knows if they have the guts to do so."
I feel like he's the only one who's relatively free here.
But then he asked worriedly: "Bai Qi, Honghua City only has 200,000 defenders, and many people have to stay behind to defend the city. This time, neither the Qin Army nor the Yue Family Army can support you."
"Can you fight against the 500,000-strong Hun army?"
"You killed their first khan. These people will definitely fight to the death for the position of the first khan!"
They were all generals, and they were all aware of the fighting on the front line and the comparison of the military strength of both sides. For a moment, they were a little worried about Bai Qi taking on this task.
This battle is really difficult to fight.
Bai Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will also destroy the country in one battle this time!"
"That's great! That's what a real man should say. Back then, you were a soldier under my command."
Yang Paifeng directly put his arm around Bai Qi's shoulders and proudly raised his chin towards his brother Yang Tianbao, meaning: How about looking at my soldiers?
Yang Tianbao was speechless. When will you be able to act like a girl?
"Let's go, let's go!"
Bai Qi waved his hand and didn't want to delay any longer. After all, the war on the front line was about to break out, and he had to rush back to Honghua City as quickly as possible.
At this moment, a beautiful figure ran out from the palace gate.
"Wait a minute, General!"
Princess Anyang ran over to Bai Qi, then took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Bai Qi, saying:
"Anyang wishes the general a triumphant return. This is a jade pendant that Anyang's mother left for him. I hope the general can take it with him and it will bless the general with a safe journey."
Bai Qi frowned and did not accept it.
At this time, a prince came out from the side. It was Anyang's younger brother, the Ninth Prince. He bowed to Bai Qi and said:
"I hope the general can protect the people of our Great Zhou. This jade pendant is a gift from this prince to the general."
As he spoke, he took the jade pendant from his sister Princess Anyang and stuffed it directly into Bai Qi's hand.
"General Bai Qi, I support you very much. I hope you can support me in the future!"
The Ninth Prince smiled at Bai Qi, then bowed to Yue Yunlei and Qin Pojun.
Anyang said with a smile: "General, you think this jade pendant is mine, so you don't want to accept it. Now it is given to you by my brother and the prince of the Great Zhou. You should accept it now!"
"Holding this jade pendant is equivalent to our Dazhong royal family also supporting the general in fighting against the Huns."
Anyway, Anyang just wanted to give the things away. It didn't matter whether the things belonged to him or his brother in name.
Bai Qi frowned, but finally accepted the jade pendant and sighed in his heart. It seemed that he would soon be involved in a fight for the throne.
He couldn't help but support the Ninth Prince now, as he had already been labeled as a member of the Ninth Prince's gang.
But Bai Qi did not think so much. If the Ninth Prince could really become the ruler of the Great Zhou and bring welfare to the people, then he really wouldn't mind pushing the Ninth Prince to the throne.
At that time, if the Ninth Prince fully supports him, he can also clean up the offerings of the Great Zhou royal family, which can be regarded as a good thing.
But if the Ninth Prince is a hopeless case.
I'm sorry, please go wherever you want.
He only looks at ability, not personal connections!
So Bai Qi smiled, nodded to the Ninth Prince, and immediately jumped on his horse, shouting, "All troops, march out!"
Qin Pojun, Yue Yunlei, Yang Tianbao, Yang Paifeng and others immediately followed Bai Qi out of the city gate, then separated at the city gate and rushed to their respective military camps to report.
After Qin Pojun and Yue Yunlei left, Yang Paifeng nudged Bai Qi with her arm and said, "Bai Qi, tell me, did you hook up with Princess Anyang? I'll keep it a secret for you!"
Bai Qi was speechless for a while.
Women’s love of gossip is really hereditary!
Female generals are no exception.
After seven days of forced march.
Honghua City is right in front of us.
Bai Qi, Yang Paifeng and Yang Tianbao were the first to enter the city, but the soldiers behind them were not marching as fast as them and were still more than ten miles away.
After entering the city, Yang Wudi immediately raised the central military tent and sat in the position of commander-in-chief, with tens of thousands of generals lined up on both sides.
Military advisors, staff, and other senior generals were all present, waiting for Yang Wudi's orders.
"Ming, Bai Qi, Yang Tianbao, and Yang Paifeng are accounted for!"
Following Yang Wudi's order.
Bai Qi, along with Yang Paifeng and Yang Tianbao, strode in. When he entered, the tens of thousands of generals all half-knelt in salute:
"Greetings, General Bai Qi!"
They had already received the information that Bai Qi had been appointed by the Emperor of the Great Zhou as the Deputy Marshal against the Huns and was only responsible to Yang Wudi.
"Generals, please stand up!"
Bai Qi raised his hand and asked these people to stand up without any formalities. Then, he turned around and bowed to Yang Wudi and said, "General Bai Qi, I am here to report!"
"Okay, sit down!"
Yang Wudi laughed loudly and immediately ordered someone to bring a chair to Bai Qi and sat next to him.
This is the treatment Bai Qi deserves.
Bai Qi's position in Honghua City is second only to him, and even the initiative of this war may have to be given to Bai Qi.
This is the emperor’s decree!
Yang Wudi didn't waste any words. He took out a map and hung it on the wall behind him. He said to Bai Qi:
"Let's not waste time talking nonsense and get straight to the point. I'll tell you the current situation directly."
"The five great Xiongnu Khans have begun to gather on the grasslands, and their entire army will soon press towards Honghua City."
"This time, we only have 200,000 soldiers guarding the city. We will not get any support. Bai Qi, now I want to ask you, how should we fight this battle?"
Yang Wudi actually had a tactic in mind, but he wanted to hear Bai Qi's opinion. After all, Bai Qi could always create miracles for him.
On the other hand, Yang Wudi also wanted to take care of Bai Qi. If Bai Qi did not make enough contributions, he would definitely be liquidated by the royal family of the Great Zhou in the future.
Only if Bai Qi has supreme merit will the royal family of the Great Zhou be cautious in making a move.
He didn't dare to attack Bai Qi.
This is also a disguised form of protection for Bai Qi by Yang Wudi.
Bai Qi didn't waste any words. After taking a look at the map, he said directly:
"Give me 10,000 elite soldiers, and the remaining 190,000 will defend Honghua City to the death. I can make the Xiongnu lose without a fight!"
"I can even unify the Xiongnu directly."
What! ?
When Yang Wudi heard Bai Qi's words, his eyes widened.
His tactics were only to delay the Huns' offensive rhythm as much as possible, and then force the Huns to retreat.
But from what Bai Qi said, it seemed that he was going to go out and fight the Huns, and he wanted to use 10,000 troops against 500,000, and defeat the Huns and force them to surrender.
How is this possible?
Yang Wudi was a little bit unconvinced at this moment.
I wonder if Bai Qi underestimated the enemy.
Yang Paifeng coughed, glared at Bai Qi fiercely with her beautiful eyes, and reminded him in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense here, don't you know what a military order is?"
After finishing speaking, Yang Paifeng laughed at everyone and said, "General Bai Qi was just joking with you guys, don't take it seriously."
Everyone nodded, of course they wouldn't take it seriously!
What a joke! You can defeat the 500,000-strong Hun army with only 10,000 elite soldiers?
And you want to take the initiative!
Don’t you know that last time your 10,000-strong army was surrounded by the Huns and almost wiped out?
This is not a confrontation of the same order of magnitude at all.
Yang Wudi also coughed, "Bai Qi, think it over before you speak. Are you angry after all the rushing here?"
But Bai Qi said firmly: "I am not kidding you, I only need 10,000 elite soldiers to destroy the Xiongnu!"
this!
The soldiers all looked at each other in amazement. It was obvious that they could not accept what Bai Qi said.
But Yang Wudi reacted immediately, as if he had thought of something, but then he sighed and said:
"Bai Qi, I know you are a cultivator, you can also kill the Xiongnu leaders with your own strength."
"But war can't be fought like this!"
"You may not know that Duke Qin may also be a cultivator, but he never shows his strength on the battlefield."
"I believe you know better than me what secrets there are that cannot be told to anyone."
Yang Wudi is not stupid. Having been in charge of Honghua City for so many years, he has some understanding of Duke Qin.
It was only then that everyone realized that Bai Qi was not an ordinary general. He was a man who could kill the first Khan of the Huns in the midst of thousands of troops.
Bai Qi’s own martial arts skills are already incredible.
But Bai Qi shook his head and said, "No, I will not use my superhuman strength this time. I will only be responsible for commanding the war, and I will not even take the initiative to kill people."
