Chapter 231
Some people are dead and he is still alive. Some people are alive, he is dead.
The former North Guardian Lord belongs to the former.
Although he is dead, his prestige is still there.
The former North Guardian Lord once cultivated a white clothed army of only ten thousand people. With the courage of one enemy, he swept across wasteland and killed the barbarian to become terror-stricken at the news.
Therefore, the former North Guardian Lord is also known as the white clothed war god.
Ten years ago, with the death of the former North Guardian Lord, the white clothed army disappeared.
The white clothed army disappeared for ten years, but, in the eyes of some, they were just hidden.
There is also a saying that the country does not dare to destroy the North Guardian Lord's mansion because it is afraid of the existence of the white clothed army.
Ten years ago, Cheng Cang didn't know much.
After all, he was still young at that time, let alone in the north.
Having been in the north for so long, he has never heard of the white clothed army.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the army to set off.
Sun Tiankui, commander of the frontier army, and Wang Tianfeng, the City Lord, have already prepared drinks to see off the soldiers of the expedition.
Sun Tiankui held the big bowl, looked at Cheng Cang, and said, "General Dragon's Might, I'll wait for you to sweep the barbarian and return in triumph."
After he finished speaking, he put the bowl in the drink up the wine.
Sun Tiankui somewhat regrets not being able to go out with the army.
Cheng Cang drank the wine from the bowl and set off with an army of 20,000 troops.
The army goes to war, grandiose.
To the north is the vast wasteland, which stretches as far as the eye can see.
This time the northern expedition to the barbarian, Xiang Xun and Wu Long are the liaison officers, responsible for delivering news and contacting the army on other roads.
Seventh Princess Zhou Jinyan, wearing silver armor, is sturdy, and goes out with the army.
Before meeting Cheng Cang, she had fought many battles, often victorious.
She is not a vase, she is not only good-looking, but also good at fighting.
Her two teachers, Huangfuqi and Zhu Chongyang, are among them.
However, the two were very low-key, wearing no armor and only wearing ordinary clothes, which was also to hide their identities.
After all, they are not from the Great Moon Kingdom, but from the Great Zhou Kingdom, so as not to cause barbarian suspicion.
This time the northern expedition to the barbarian, nominally a total of three armies.
The 20,000 cavalry led by Cheng Cang is the middle route army.
The East Route Army led by Gong Kai was also 20,000 people.
There is also a Western Route Army, also 20,000 people.
The three-way army started at the same time, grandiose, with great momentum.
As for what other ambushes the North Guardian Lord's house has arranged, Cheng Cang doesn't know.
According to the battle plan, the three armies will cross the Black Dragon River from different locations, and then drive straight in to the territory of the Barbarian South King.
Uncle Liu Yuan, the leader of the five generals, looked at the map, pondered for a while, then looked towards Cheng Cang and said, "I think it is impossible for the barbarians to sit still. They are best at riding and shooting, and have extremely high mobility. Before we reach the Black Dragon River, I'm afraid we will be attacked."
Cheng Cang nods and says, "Of course they will not let us cross the Black Dragon River easily. The problem is, they will Where to ambush us?"
Uncle Liu Yuan pointed to two points on the map and said, "Here, and here, they have a higher chance of appearing."
Cheng Cang shook his head after hearing this.
"This time we are bound to come, and they will not fight an uncertain battle. Even if they want to ambush us, they will leave a good retreat and choose a relatively safe place. I think this Black An excellent location is near the Dragon River, which is not far from the Nanwang Royal Court. After they attack us, they can quickly return to the Royal Court."
"It makes sense." Uncle Liu Yuan took a closer look Looking at the map, then nodded, agrees with Cheng Cang's point of view, "They are active in this area, they can attack us if they advance, and they can defend the royal court if they retreat. It seems that our first battle is likely to happen here."
Sure enough, for the next few days, the army marched north without encountering a barbarian attack.
The road was calm until we reached the Black Dragon River.
The army was very close to the Black Dragon River, but it was not early, so they chose to set up camp on the spot.
Cheng Cang had a bottle gourd hanging on his waist, carrying a dragon soul sword, riding a blue-maned horse, facing the sunset, leaving the tent and heading north.
He knows that there will be many battles and many people will be killed.
However, his heart is calm.
In wasteland at this time, there is more green, more vitality.
wasteland gives the impression of desolation and yellow sand, but this season is different.
Just a few days ago, it rained heavily.
Grass, a plant.
Green, a color.
After the heavy rain, green weeds grow wildly. Because if they don't hurry up, they will be severely beaten by the North Wind.
Seventh Princess rode a white horse, facing the sunset, and also left the tent.
Zhu Chongyang saw this scene and immediately planned to mount a horse to protect the Seventh Princess.
However, Huangfu Qi stopped him.
"Why not let me go?" Zhu Chongyang asked.
Huangfu Strangely said: "They are all youngsters, they need some free space. You follow along with someone of your age, isn't that making trouble? Besides, with Cheng Cang here, the Seventh Princess is safe. Don't worry."
"what you said make sense." Zhu Chongyang nodded.
Soon, Seventh Princess caught up with Cheng Cang.
The two of them rode their war horses all the way north. Under the setting sun, their shadows were drawn very long.
Under the setting sun, Seventh Princess was covered with a layer of golden light, which made her look more attractive.
Looking in the distance, they can see the Black Dragon River.
In the end, the two stepped on the setting sun, dressed in the afterglow, and came to the Black Dragon River.
Although it is the Black Dragon River, the water is not dark at all.
The river is clear and flowing.
On the banks of the Black Dragon, the aquatic plants are extremely lush and vibrant.
Cheng Cang and Seventh Princess got off their horses, and immediately the two horses ran away and happily ate the lush water plants.
Zhou Jinyan is very beautiful, in the setting sun, wearing a layer of golden light, she looks more and more attractive.
She looked towards Cheng Cang and said, "After conquering the barbarian, what are your plans?"
Cheng Cang looked at the flowing Black Dragon river with golden light in his eyes: "In the world of five kingdoms, I want ninety-nine."
Seventh Princess's heart suddenly moved after hearing this.
She turned her beautiful eyes to look at Cheng Cang with horror in her eyes.
She felt that Cheng Cang at this moment was a little different from before.
Cheng Cang's expression seems calm, but his words are domineering.
Seventh Princess pondered in her heart, and it seemed that she still underestimated the man in front of her.
"In the world of five kingdoms, I want ninety-nine." This sentence echoed in the mind of Seventh Princess, and it lingered for a long time.
This kind of thing, even she didn't dare to think about it. However, the man in front of him said so casually.
Look at his eyes, as if it will come true.
This man is really deep and unmeasurable!
Cheng Cang No matter how surprised Seventh Princess was, his eyes were attracted by a school of fish in the river.
In the river, a group of fish swim up the river, scrambling to jump, full of vigor and vitality.
They leap out of the water from time to time, leaping several meters high, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.
At that moment, Cheng Cang seemed to realize something, and his spirit strength surged wildly.
