Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

Inside Tianguan, in a hidden canyon, Meng Zhao hid the five hundred innate strong men he brought out from Sifang City there, leaving Zhao Ruling to look after them and continuing to conceal their forms with the power of his soul. Then, he took Ao Bing back to Tianguan.

Tianguan is a supreme treasure condensed from flesh and blood, special divine materials, minerals, and even the good fortune of humanity by the ancestors of the human race in bloody battles against hundreds of races long ago. It can also be called the holy weapon of humanity. Although it is not as good as the supreme divine weapon of humanity, it also has a powerful effect in suppressing alien races.

It had been constructed, condensed, and cast in stages as early as the Daxia period. It was not until the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng period that it took countless efforts, wealth, and the energy of powerful people to truly form it, and it was capable of suppressing hundreds of races. It has been continuously improved in successive dynasties in later generations.

Nowadays, the Tianguan territory is guarded by the Zhenbei Army of the Dayong Dynasty. The 150,000-strong army blends with the aura of Tianguan day and night, accumulating the destiny of humanity. They can be regarded as an army of one million, and have a certain ability to restrain and suppress people of hundreds of races.

In this way, the Zhenbei Army will have the confidence to truly conquer the north, suppress the polar ice fields, and stabilize the surrounding areas.

At that time, the Ninth Prince Beitang Shu used military exercises to scare off the combined forces of the Hu and Barbarian tribes. In fact, what he relied on the most was the Zhenbei Army.

In the Zhenbei Army, 150,000 people were divided into six camps, namely Pojun, Ruiqi, Xiaoyong, Baizhan, Tadi and Pingxiong. Each camp had 20,000 soldiers, and there were another 30,000 elite troops, which were directly commanded by the Zhenbei Army's central army.

Among them, the General Zhenbei is a third-rank official of the Dayong Dynasty and a big shot in the military. He is monopolized by the Zhong family, a military family of the dynasty. Most of the General Zhenbei in history died in the Tianguan Pass. Those who are lucky enough will stay in the Tianguan Pass forever and die of old age.

This is a habit and custom that has been passed down for who knows how many years. As early as the Ming Dynasty, the General Zhenbei was only a general stationed in Tianguan in every dynasty. There has never been a General Zhenbei who was a deserter or a coward.

Therefore, in the entire Dayong Dynasty, the Zhenbei Army and the Zhenbei General are unique existences with extraordinary significance and influence.

This time, Meng Zhao brought Ao Bing and sneaked into the Heavenly Pass quietly, just to confront the current General Zhenbei, Zhong Linghe.

Zhong Linghe, born into the Zhong family, a general family, joined the army at the age of thirteen. Starting as a small soldier, he experienced many battles and fought against foreign races. So far, he has gone through thirty years and fought in hundreds of battles, big and small. He is truly a general who has fought his way out of the enemy's ranks, not one of those second-generation rich men who relied on their ancestors' influence to get to the top.

This is also the key reason why the Zhong family, a military family, has become the General of Zhenbei in every generation. They never decide that the next General of Zhenbei will be a member of the Zhong family simply because the General is a member of the Zhong family.

On the contrary, it is only because the people of the Zhong family are indeed outstanding, and with the support of the Zhenbei Army from top to bottom, and the unity of inside and outside, that they can hold on to power.

If it happened in the outside world, this would be a very dangerous thing. Any emperor or dynasty would be in great trouble if they encountered such a situation where one army was controlled by one person for generations.

Either the emperor becomes suspicious and the general surrenders, or the general is forced to rebel, resulting in a lose-lose situation for both sides.

The Zhong family is different.

Firstly, the location of Tianguan is unusual. It is the first line of defense against hundreds of races and the invasion of polar ice fields. It can be described as a meat grinder and a battlefield of death. No one wants to enjoy the so-called power and ambition in such a place.

Because this is not a place for enjoyment, and becoming the so-called General Zhenbei is not something to boast about.

On the contrary, this is a very dangerous and even desperate thing. The only thing in life is war, and the purpose of war is to protect. There is no warmth here, only cold-bloodedness, no small love, only great justice.

Even the military personnel only had awe and stayed away from Tianguan, and few were willing to take the initiative to be transferred here and participate in the war.

Even if there are, it is often to gain military merit in a short period of time to increase the persuasiveness for the promotion, and they will be transferred away soon after.

Therefore, although General Zhenbei seemed to be in a high position and had great power, few people would fight for him because it was really not worth it.

If the army of hundreds of tribes were to invade, the first to die would be the people of the Zhenbei Army, and the first general to die might be General Zhenbei.

Secondly, the Heavenly Gate is a place of great justice and the backbone of the human race. Even the Human Emperor or the royal family must attach great importance to this place and there must not be any delay or postponement.

Huang Chao is not a fool. He knows very well that Tianguan is a place of right and wrong, and the people of Tianguan are those who sacrifice their lives and shed their blood for the human race.

Therefore, even though they knew that the Zhenbei Army was by no means a direct force of the dynasty, and that the Zhenbei General was by no means a plaything of the dynasty who could be mobilized at will, they still acquiesced to this fact.

It's a very simple truth. The Zhenbei Army and General Zhenbei are only used to guard the Heavenly Gate and protect the human race. They will never do anything that will harm the human race or the dynasty.

Otherwise, the significance of the Zhenbei Army's existence would be denied. Without the military spirit and will, by then, let alone a regular army of 150,000, even if it was twice as strong, it would not be able to cause any waves, and might not even be as powerful as the rebels in the south.

A very crucial factor here is that although everyone wants to fight for power, they also have to ensure that the plate is safe and will not be broken by external forces. Otherwise, let alone eating well and being full, you will be lucky if you are not eaten.

The reason why the rebellion in the South could not be quelled for a long time was that there were powerful internal forces of the human race providing protection.

If there is a rebellion in the northern border, the whole country will work together to put it down at the first moment. Otherwise, if foreign races invade, everyone will be finished.

It is based on these reasons that General Zhenbei and the Zhenbei Army are a very special group of people and a force in the Dayong Dynasty.

Before this, even when there was a severe snowstorm in the north and many rebellions in Liangzhou, the Zhenbei Army never took action. The reason was that these were just minor incidents and they simply disdained and did not care, because in their minds, the only major threat was the hundreds of tribes in the polar ice fields.

As for what happened to Liangzhou, Shenzhou, and whether there was a change of dynasty, it actually didn't mean much to the Zhenbei Army.

Even if there is a real change of dynasty, it is unlikely that the turmoil will affect the Zhenbei Army. Most likely, an imperial decree will be issued to pardon the Zhenbei Army and continue to order it to suppress the Tianguan to prevent invasion by hundreds of tribes.

For details, please refer to the Zhong family. Long before Beitang Gong, they were the first line of defense against foreign races in Tianguan. Later, they were promoted to the top of the Zhenbei Army. (End of this chapter)
