Chapter 215 The West-Suppressing Army? No, it’s the Shenwu Army!

The father and son filled up the wine and took a gulp.

Li Nanfeng took a few bites of the food, suppressed the smell of alcohol rising in his stomach, and spoke first: "Son, why did you come to Zhenxiguan without saying a word?"

Looking at the cheap old man covered in scars in front of him, Li Yueming sighed and said: "You know the purpose of my coming here. Judging from the current situation, Zhenxi Pass will definitely not be able to be defended!"

Hearing this, Li Nanfeng didn't say anything, he just picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites of the food by himself.

In fact, as the core general of the Zhenxiguan Army, why doesn't Li Nanfeng understand the current situation of Zhenxiguan?

The Six Nations' struggle for hegemony is about to begin. Compared with several other countries, the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty is at a relatively weak level among the Six Nations.

After several rounds of reforms, Qin's national power was at an unprecedented level.

Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to stop the Qin army's offensive with only one Zhenxiguan?

Li Nanfeng didn't speak, but he didn't refute either.

After picking up the wine glass and taking a sip of wine, Li Yueming continued: "Dad, come with me to Beibinghe Town. I have already taken over the eldest and second sisters. The Li family members are also migrating to Beibinghe Town. If everything goes well

If so, our family can have a good New Year together tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Li Nanfeng showed a smile: "Son, do you know your father and me?"

This time it was Li Yueming's turn to be silent.

Does he know his father?

This question seemed to touch upon his knowledge blind spot for a while.

All I can say is, maybe...

After not seeing each other for so many years, Li Nanfeng was only a vague shadow in Li Yueming's mind.

If you say you know how much you know, it would definitely be a lie.

But if you say you don’t understand it at all, that would be a lie.

Li Nanfeng and You Aotian are both the same type of people.

——Pure soldier.

Thinking of this, Li Yueming opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just sighed softly.

He knew that his trip was probably in vain.

At this moment, under the dim candlelight, Li Nanfeng's somewhat stooped body suddenly straightened up.

He stood up from the ground, walked to the broken door of the wooden house, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, looking at the white snow falling in the night under the bleak west wind, he said seriously: "I, Li Nanfeng, joined the army when I was twelve years old.

He went into battle to kill the enemy at the age of eighteen, and fought on the battlefield for more than fifty years, thirty of which were spent in this deserted city far away from human habitation..."

"I was born in the Western Frontier, grew up in the Western Frontier, and became famous in the Western Frontier. Naturally, I have to shed the last drop of blood in my body for the Western Frontier, just like your grandfather and the people who have guarded this place for countless years in the past.

Just like the seniors of the Shenwu Army in this level!"

Looking from the side, Li Yueming could see the light in Li Nanfeng's eyes.

It was glory, fire, blood, everything about Li Nanfeng.

Li Yueming silently picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp, his expression gradually became solemn: "But Emperor Zhou, the court and the people of the Central Plains will not think so. Now that the situation in Zhenxiguan is so urgent, Emperor Zhou is still unwilling to mobilize Long.

The Tiger Army rushes for reinforcements, isn't it because they want to bleed the last drop of blood of the Suppressing Western Army?"

Li Nanfeng laughed loudly after hearing this: "So what? There are more than 300,000 soldiers in the Western Army, and 90% of the soldiers are natives of the Western Frontier. They have never guarded the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Not suitable for the people of the Central Plains, they are just the people who protect the western border..."

"For so many years, the Zhou emperors have never truly regarded us people in the northwest as their own people. They can not cherish it, but we must cherish it, because the loyalty of the Zhenxi Army has never been to the Zhou Dynasty, but to Daqian people."

This is actually a secret that was classified as taboo by the Zhou court.

Under normal circumstances, let alone Li Nanfeng.

Even the people in the Western Frontier rarely mention it.

The Zhenxi Army is not a direct descendant of the Emperor of Zhou, but the descendant of the Daqian Shenwu Army who was destroyed by the Great Zhou Dynasty in its heyday after the disintegration of the Tiandu clan.

More than 10,000 years ago, the Tiandu Dynasty had just disintegrated, and the remaining nine sub-dynasties were divided into nine sub-dynasties. In the following years, these nine sub-dynasties continued to war and annexed each other.

More than 5,000 years ago, Daqian, one of the nine dynasties, was destroyed by the then powerful Zhou Dynasty, who joined forces with the foreign tribes on the grasslands beyond the Great Wall. Thousands of members of the Daqian royal family were abducted by the barbarians on the grasslands beyond the Great Wall. Most of them committed suicide in unbearable humiliation. .

The Shenwu Army that originally guarded Renhuang Pass was located in a dangerous terrain.

Neither the Great Zhou Dynasty nor the grasslands outside the Great Wall could crack this hard nut.

In the end, the helpless grassland and Dazhou could only resort to the tactics of encircling but not attacking, and cutting off water and food.

Seeing that the situation is over.

In desperation, the Shenwu Army chose to surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Not long after, it was renamed Zhenxi Army, and the original Renhuang Pass was also renamed Zhenxi Pass.

Since then, this matter has been deliberately downplayed by the Zhou Dynasty.

When the blockade was at its strictest, even if someone mentioned it among the people in the Western Frontier, they would be arrested by the royal guards who heard the news.

That's why.

Until now, people in the northwest are very taboo about this matter.

However, no matter how tight the apparent blockade is, it cannot change the flow of facts.

The level of recognition of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the northwest and northwest has never been high.

Of course, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have a high sense of identity with the northern and western frontier lands, otherwise the Central Plains people would have been calling the people in the northwest and northwest barbarians.

The real territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually the fertile land after Fulong Pass, Fuhu Pass, and Futian Pass where the Qin army attacked.

As for the land in the west and north, as well as the lands occupied by the Qin army outside Zhenxiguan, they were actually the territory of Daqian thousands of years ago.

…

Now Emperor Zhou's Dragon and Tiger Army and other elite troops of his direct line are all deployed at Fulong Pass, Fuhu Pass, and Futian Pass.

It is obvious that the western border land and the northern land are excluded from the defensive circle.

He made up his mind to let the Zhenxi Army and the Qin Army fight to the death and then reap the benefits.

Of course, the Zhenxi Army can also choose to surrender to the Qin Army.

But in fact, Emperor Zhou was not worried at all.

——Because the Qin Army and the Zhenxi Army are mortal enemies.

A considerable part of the original grassland barbarians are now the predecessors of the Qin army. Those barbarians kidnapped thousands of members of the royal family of the Daqian Dynasty, brutally castrated the men and then tortured them to death, while the women were sold everywhere as military prostitutes.

This is a sworn blood feud.

The reason why the Shenwu Army surrendered and saw that the situation was over was just one of the reasons.

The main reason is that someone must survive in Daqian.

The Shenwu Army would not give up until millions of barbarians were killed in revenge.

Even Da Zhou was one of the murderers of Da Qian.

But compared to what the barbarians did, Da Zhou, who was also a prince, still retained enough dignity for Da Qian.

It was precisely because he knew that the Zhenxi Army could not form an alliance with the Qin Army.

Only then could the Emperor of Zhou be so confident that he could set up Zhou's defense line at Fulong and Fuhu Pass.

After all, the Western Frontier is now the main battlefield against the Qin Army.

But it was too far away from the mainland of Dazhou, and the loss rate of supplies of food and grass along the way was frighteningly high.

The Zhou and Qin armies had been fighting for so many years, and the country's food and grass deficit was already very serious.

Naturally, it is impossible to lose more food for the suppression of the Western Army.

Now Emperor Zhou has only maintained the food supply in Zhenxiguan, but has not sent any reinforcements.

Fortunately, the Zhenxi Army did not expect any reinforcements.

The purpose of staying here right now is just to kill a few more Qin troops.

Li Yueming had heard about these rumors, but he never paid much attention to them.

After all, in his opinion, those were all too long ago, and even if there were some issues left over from history, they had long since been diluted by ruthless time.

Now when I listen to Li Nanfeng talk about this.

Only then did I truly feel the blood and fire contained in this incident.

Until now, the Zhenxi Army still has not forgotten the resentment of more than 5,000 years ago.

He has been fighting to the death with the Qin army relying on Zhenxi Pass.

After saying this, Li Nanfeng drank the last glass of wine in the wine glass, quickly put the wine glass back on the table, looked at Li Yueming solemnly and said: "These things were told to me by your grandfather when he was still here, but I didn't

I never told you because I didn’t want you children to get involved in this matter!"
