Chapter 214 The reunion of father and son after many years!
The land of the western frontier, Zhenxiguan.

There are popular doggerel poems in Northwest China.

There are thousands of miles of yellow sand and thousands of miles of bones, and there is an outer wall of Zhenxiguan.

It is talking about the dangerous terrain of Zhenxiguan, which is like a high wall erected in the northwestern courtyard where yellow sand is flying and bones are everywhere, guarding the peace of the people in the western frontier for a long time.

This also confirmed the long history of the West Frontier from the side.

It can be said that since the disintegration of the Tiandu Clan and the internal strife for hegemony among the Eight Kingdoms, Zhenxi Pass has been the patron saint of the people in the western frontier of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the rise of the Qin army, Zhenxi Pass has always been a pass that the Qin army cannot cross.

It makes the people living in the western frontier have a sense of security.

But in the past few years, Zhenxiguan has almost lost twice.

This also made the people in the entire western frontier worried.

Zhenxiguan holds a heavy weight in the hearts of the people in the Northwest, and they have always regarded it as a patron saint.

Now even Zhenxi Pass almost fell.

The people did not know what else could keep them safe.

Li Yueming headed west along the nearest route from the Northland, and met many people from the West Frontier on the way.

I dismounted and asked, and found that they were all spontaneously organized to transport grain to Zhenxiguan.

Some of the people pulled donkey carts, while others simply carried them on their shoulders, carrying heavy grains such as wheat, sweet potatoes, and corn, and rushed thousands of miles to Zhenxi Pass, just to feed the troops in Zhenxi Pass.

There is also a lot of grain from last year, which is the property that the common people hide to resist various natural disasters.

Even though Li Yueming was prepared for this, when he witnessed it with his own eyes, he still couldn't bear to look directly at it.

You must know that the Northwest is not a wealthy Central Plains.

The food production here is extremely low, and it is already not easy for the common people to make a living here. In addition to the wars and chaos these years, every household has tightened their belts, and life is quite difficult.

But under such circumstances, they sent all the food in their home to Zhenxiguan without anyone forcing them.

This shows how much they trust Zhenxiguan and Zhenxi Army.

In fact, Li Yueming wanted to remind them that once the Qin army really launched an all-out attack, it would be impossible for a single town to defend Xiguan to resist its million-strong army.

But it was just thinking about it. If he really asked him to speak, he couldn't speak, and he didn't know how to speak.

Not to mention that it hasn't happened yet.

Even if it did happen.

What about a group of ordinary people who are helpless?
There are no eggs under an overturned nest, and the first unlucky ones are often poor people when disaster strikes.

Sighing, Li Yueming shook his head.

The spirit horse was urged to fly into the air without looking back.

……

About five days later, Li Yueming arrived under Zhenxi Pass.

As the first pass in the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the majesty of Zhenxi Pass is unimaginable for normal people.

From a distance, the entire city wall of Zhenxiguan seems to be completely poured with steel. The black-gray wall rises from the ground, and the city wall hundreds of meters high and tens of meters thick is built in a narrow and dangerous place.

On the left and right sides of the city wall are majestic cliffs thousands of feet high. The steepness of the cliffs seems to be cut and cast with knives and axes.

This rare scene in the world was formed after a residual vein of the extremely cold snow mountain broke.

The extremely cold snow mountain range spans thousands of miles, extending from the southwest to the northeast. Zhenxiguan is the tail of the dragon, and the extremely cold snow mountain at Shiwanda Mountain is the dragon head. The entire dragon vein is formed in one go. Only Zhenxiguan has one fracture.

According to a long-standing legend, this gap was severed by the Emperor Tiandu's sword, and it was this sword that completely severed the last breath of the Zerg ruler.

Therefore, Zhenxi Pass was also called Renhuang Pass a long time ago to commemorate the great achievements of Renhuang Tiandu.

All in all, the steep cliff made Zhenxiguan a majestic and dangerous terrain, and also isolated the possibility of large-scale enemy attacks from other directions.

The moment Li Yueming saw this majestic checkpoint, he suddenly understood why the Zhenxi Army was able to resist the Qin Army's nearly one million Tigers and Cardinals with an army of more than 30 troops without advancing for several years.

Such uncanny natural dangers are indeed a nightmare for all enemy troops who want to attack the city.

After approaching Zhenxi Pass, Li Yueming quickly saw the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army standing guard. The other party was wearing a suit of exquisitely crafted armor that had been around for some years, with a murderous look on his face.

Even if they were far apart, Li Yueming could feel the evil spirit on the other party.

With just a cursory glance, even Li Yueming could conclude that the other party was definitely a veteran of many battles crawling out of the dead.

The Xingyue army is already elite enough.

But in front of the Zhenxi Army, which has been fighting with the Qin Army all year round, it still seems that the spirit of killing is not enough.

At the same time, several soldiers at the gate of the city also saw Li Yueming riding a tall horse at a glance.

After signaling him to dismount from a distance.

Several soldiers with weapons came over with vigilant faces and asked, "Who are you, and why are you here at Xiguan?"

Li Yueming took out the guide from his pocket.

He couldn't get this stuff himself, after all, he ran out in private without the court's permission.

But he has a good master!

As the nominal supreme commander of Beidi, it is no problem for You Aotian to find a guide for Li Yueming.

After seeing Lu Yin and the virtual identity on Lu Yin, the soldiers of Zhenxi Army standing guard raised their eyebrows a little: "It turns out that he is a brother of Zhenbei Army. What's your business here? Do you have any specific documents?"

Li Yueming had already prepared his speech in advance: "General You asked me to see how the friendly army is doing. If necessary, we may be able to help with the Zhenbei Army!"

Zhenbei Army and Zhenxi Army belong to the frontier army in the northwest.

Although officially, there is not much communication between them.

But there is always some camaraderie in private.

It is also common for the two armies to communicate with each other.

Therefore, the soldiers at the gate quickly accepted Li Yueming's excuse.

Since it is a private visit, it is normal without specific documents.

After confirming that Li Yueming was not someone with ulterior motives, the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army obviously relaxed a lot: "Please trouble the brothers of the Zhenbei Army to wait a while, this matter must be reported first, and the superiors can only release them after nodding their heads!"

In this regard, Li Yueming has nothing to do with it.

The purpose of his coming here is to make money for his father. Before finding out the specific situation of the Zhenxi Army, it is naturally impossible to easily reveal his true identity.

One of the soldiers standing guard left, and he probably went to report the situation to his superiors.

Another soldier helped Li Yueming tie the spirit horse to the temporary stables set up under the city wall.

It was also at this time that Li Yueming noticed that there was a long queue of people delivering food at the side gate not far from Zhenxi Pass. For this reason, the Zhenxi Army even posted a notice on the city wall, so that the people don't have to deliver food, and keep the food for themselves. winter.

But it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the people.

The food delivery team was packed for several days.

There was nothing the Zhenxi Army could do about it, they carried the grain back from thousands of miles away, so it was impossible for them to let them carry it back again!

Therefore, they can only send people to collect the food of these people.

In order to repay the enthusiasm of the people, the Zhenxi Army also sent soldiers to cook porridge for the people who delivered the food 24 hours a day at the gate of the city, ensuring that they could have a hot mouthful of food when they returned home.

Li Yueming watched the people coming and going, without saying a word.

About ten minutes later, the soldiers informed him that the senior officials of the Zhenxi Army had allowed him to operate in Zhenxi Pass.

It's just that the scope of his activities is limited to the city.

The high pass does not allow any unrelated personnel to approach.

Passing through the thick city wall tens of meters wide, Li Yueming entered Zhenxi City.

Because Li Yueming's reason for entering the city was to see if there was any place to communicate with each other at Zhenxi Pass, therefore, there was a quartermaster of the Zhenxi Army following him.

It's just that this is not something worth mentioning to Li Yueming.

After all, the more difficult part of the plan was to enter the Zhenxi Pass. As long as he entered the Zhenxi Pass, with Li Yueming's personal strength, as long as he didn't kill himself, there would basically be no safety issues.

A mere quartermaster can't restrain him naturally.

Soon, Li Yueming disappeared under the eyes of the quartermaster in a turn.

The quartermaster thought he was dazzled.

After finally recovering, my first reaction was that something was wrong.

He hurriedly trotted all the way to report.

But in the next few days, even if the soldiers in the city searched the Zhenxi Pass, they did not find the slightest trace of Li Yueming.

These days, it is not uncommon for practitioners to act as spies to go deep behind enemy lines to collect intelligence.

With mental calculations and unintentional, most of the time the party being inquired is hard to guard against.

If the invading cultivators are strong enough, the ordinary army will not be able to find out even if they know there is an invasion.

Therefore, in order to deal with this situation, the elite military services of various countries have their own anti-espionage plans.

Naturally, the Zhenxi Army also has them.

As long as the soldiers complete their tasks normally, even powerful practitioners can only obtain some rough information.

Really important information will be hidden.

After searching around to no avail, the Zhenxi Army had no choice but to give up.

About half a month later, another war broke out between Zhenxi Army and Qin Army.

In this battle, Li Yueming hid on the edge of the battlefield and witnessed everything. He even saw his cheap father walking on the city wall and patrolling the entire battlefield.

The fighting power of the Zhenxi Army is really strong!
Relying on its excellent military strength, the Zhenxi Army fought against the attack of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops for three days and three nights, forcefully suppressing the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops who attacked the city.

If it is under the same strength, the Qin army may not be able to defeat the Zhenxi army.

You must know that among the twelve troops of the Qin Army with military souls, there are five legions with all the troops on display at Zhenxi Pass. In addition to ordinary soldiers, there are enough troops with military souls deployed by the Qin Army at Zhenxi Pass. 50! ! !

This is also because the Qin army was unable to mobilize in full force because of the Tang Dynasty's restraint in the south.

On the Dazhou side, Zhenxiguan has 30 troops, of which only 15 are Zhenxi troops with military spirits, and the remaining 15 are mixed ordinary troops.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to be able to compete with the Qin army even if they occupy the natural danger.

After the battle, Li Yueming still did not say a word.

He roughly estimated the combat effectiveness of the Qin Army and Zhenxi Army, and then tested the situation of Zhenxi Pass through infinite deduction, and finally came to the conclusion that if the Qin Army really attacked desperately, then Zhenxi Pass would definitely be a disaster.

After confirming this.

He wasted no time.

He sneaked into the outskirts of the Zhenxi military camp in a dark and windy field for a month.

After waiting patiently for a long time, he stopped Li Nanfeng who was about to inspect the city wall in the middle of the night.

Seeing the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Nanfeng subconsciously pulled out the sword from his waist, but after carefully looking at Li Yueming's appearance, he was stunned, and he pursed his lips for a long while, not knowing what to say.

Li Yueming glanced around, made a silent gesture, and immediately brought Li Nanfeng to the camp not far away.

After confirming that no one was around, Li Yueming said, "Father, come with me!"

Li Nanfeng hasn't turned his head yet.

Hearing Li Yueming's words, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes. After finally regaining consciousness and confirming that it was not a hallucination, he said in a trembling voice, "Son, is that you?"

Li Yueming nodded.

In fact, the father and son have not seen each other for more than ten years.

Since Li Yueming left home, it didn't take long for Li Nanfeng to return to the army.

The two elder sisters, Li Ruxing and Li Ruyue, were at the Practitioner Academy anyway.

After ten days and half a month, we can meet each other several times.

But Li Nanfeng has been stationed at Zhenxi Pass, afraid of the court and the Emperor Zhou, he dare not come back even during the holidays.

Both father and son communicated through letters.

Now that they suddenly met each other, Li Nanfeng didn't even recognize Li Yueming immediately.

The son has grown taller.

People are also very handsome.

His brows vaguely still look like when he was a teenager.

After confirming that the young man in front of him was really his son, Li Nanfeng's voice trembled even more, and he said tremblingly, "Why are you here? There are Qin troops everywhere outside Zhenxi Pass, it's very dangerous!"

Li Yueming smiled and said: "Father, I have grown up a long time ago, and now my strength may not be weaker than you, so don't underestimate people!"

Li Nanfeng was startled, and subconsciously wanted to laugh out loud.

But after thinking about it, I remembered that I was still in the military camp at this moment, so it was not appropriate to make a loud announcement.

I could only scratch my head in embarrassment and said: "Don't talk about this, it's not convenient here, wait for Dad to deal with the affairs in the army, and buy you a drink after he frees up his hands!"

Li Yueming nodded.

It will be easier for men to communicate with more alcohol.

Besides, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and Li Yueming really wants to sit down and have a good chat with his cheap father.

After making an appointment with the time and place, Li Nanfeng returned to the army.

As a senior general of the Zhenxi Army, Li Nanfeng has a regular schedule every day, and his sudden disappearance may cause turmoil in the entire army.

If you want to leave the line of defense, you must explain clearly to the people under you.

After about an hour or so.

Li Nanfeng appeared in front of Li Yueming with several jars of fine wine and some appetizers.

It was also at this moment that Li Yueming discovered that compared to more than ten years ago, his father had several more hideous scars on his body, and it was unknown whether it was due to time or injuries, and his originally straight back was also a little bent.

Li Yueming's mood was extremely complicated, and he was even more thankful that he came in time, otherwise, if it was delayed for a few more years, whether Li Nanfeng's body could still bear it would be a problem.
