Chapter 72 The Phoenix's Gift

Tuyuhun, destroyed?

Li Guanyi's thoughts paused slightly. His impression of this country still came from the time when he fled in the past. Tuyuhun occupied the vast Western Regions. They were a nation on horseback. Under the leadership of their monarch, they defeated other tribes in the Western Regions, and they were preparing for war, eyeing the Central Plains covetously.

Its territory is vast, not much smaller than that of the State of Chen.

How could such a country, which is strong, brave and outstanding, perish overnight?
Which letter is it?

This thought subconsciously emerged in Li Guanyi's mind, but he immediately dispelled this idea. It was impossible, absolutely impossible. The suggestion he gave was only to plunder their land and property, weaken the opponent and strengthen himself. It was not a strategy to destroy the country at all.

Tuyuhun was the overlord of the Western Regions. The disappearance of such a giant would definitely have a huge impact on the world. Li Guan calmed down and said, "Mr. Xue, what's going on? Don't keep me in suspense."

"I'm only in my teens."

"I have always been in Jiangnan. How could something so far away have anything to do with me?"

The old man said: "... Tuyuhun has become a meal for the world."

He pointed at the map.

Most of the thirty-six tribes in the Western Regions had been wiped out by Tuyuhun.

Therefore, the Western Regions accumulated strength and prepared to go south to confront the State of Chen. The old man said: "Because of the confrontation with Yue Qianfeng, the border troops were mobilized... The defense was empty, and the overlord of Tuyuhun decided to go down from here and annex the southwest of our State of Chen. They did exactly that."

"The original plan was to contact the Duke's Mansion outside the Ying State Pass and the Dangxiang people."

"Take advantage of the fact that Tuyuhun is stretching out the battle line and strike in the middle."

Li Guan nodded.

He did not tell the second son of the Duke of Ying about his advice to him.

The old man exhaled slightly and sighed, "It's just that at this time, something unexpected happened. I have been in power for a hundred years, but I still made a mistake. I underestimated the heroes of the world. The famous general of Tuyuhun led his army south, and the Dangxiang people suddenly rose up."

"They lost contact with the rear, and out of concern they turned their troops around and retreated."

"Then, an army emerged from the border of the State of Chen."

"They set up an ambush and cleverly took advantage of the opportunity to penetrate the rear of Tuyuhun, eventually defeating the Tuyuhun army and advancing the battle line forward. In the end, all the 300-li land in the south of Tuyuhun was captured."

"The envoys of the State of Chen were in the army, negotiating with the Tanguts and supporting their king to establish his own kingdom. The Tanguts wanted to pay tribute to the State of Chen. The State of Chen married a woman from a branch of the clan who had been given the name of the princess three months ago to the leader of the Tanguts."

"Then invite the prince of the Dangxiang to come to Jiangzhou of the Chen State to participate in the grand sacrifice."

"Yesterday, the Tanguts founded their country."

"Tan Tai Xian Ming's congratulatory letter arrived there at the same time."

"The Dangxiang people will become the defense of the Chen State against the other tribes."

Li Guanyi's pupils contracted. This huge change made him unable to react. In the young man's impression, Tan Tai Xianming was just the prime minister who tried to kill Xue Daoyong.

Xue Daoyong had a complicated expression on his face and sighed:
"It was Tan Tai Xian Ming's plan."

"While he was playing the zither with the emperor in the palace, he had already issued the strategy; while he was drinking and reciting poems to answer Zu Wenyuan and Wang Tong, the generals he personally promoted from slaves stepped onto the battlefield."

"The troops he mobilized to the border to deal with Yue Qianfeng were bait he gave to Tuyuhun."

"And next to this bait, the sword was ready, and finally cut off Tuyuhun's arm. The country's current pile of problems, those tax loopholes, and the anger of the people in the court will all be poured into the newly conquered areas in the Western Regions in the next ten years."

"What a jester, what a treacherous prime minister, what a prime minister to assist the country in this troubled time."

Xue Daoyong closed his eyes and sighed.

Li Guanyi said: "In this way, Tuyuhun will not be destroyed."

Xue Daoyong said: "That's all, of course not."

"But Tan Tai Xian Ming is not the only person in the world who has good vision."

The old man pointed his finger at Ying Guo and said:

"The unrest within Tuyuhun is not just our preparation."

"The seven lost Turkic kings appeared above Tuyuhun. The Western Region cavalry was no match for the Iron Buddha. Moreover, Tuyuhun's main force was dispatched. For these Iron Buddhas, the Western Region was like an undefended horse ranch, allowing them to wreak havoc."

"In the past, the Turkic tactics were straightforward, but this time they were like ghosts and monsters, coming and going like the wind, and difficult to lock onto. Tuyuhun's defense and experience against the Turkic heavy cavalry were all ineffective, and instead led to greater casualties. I suspect that the seven Turkic kings have a top-notch military advisor under their command."

"I don't know who it is."

"And Yingguo, Yingguo also took action."

"Everyone thought that after General Yue was imprisoned, Chen State and Ying State made peace, and Ying State's troops were transferred upward to deal with the Turks. But just two days ago, the general who was supposed to be in front of the Turks was quietly replaced."

"The original general of Ying State set out with 8,000 cavalrymen."

"We had already arranged supplies along the way. We rushed at full speed at night. When the sun rose, we broke through the gates of Tuyuhun. We won battle after battle. It takes decades for a country to become strong, but once a decision fails, it will be devoured by the heroes of this chaotic world in an instant."

Li Guanyi said: "If the general of Yingguo leaves, won't the Turks notice?"

The old man said: "I found it..."

He whispered, "When several Turkic tribes took advantage of the situation to invade Ying State, the general who had raided Tuyuhun changed his horses and led the light cavalry that had been prepared long ago to return to the border of Ying State. The Turks occupied the border city of Ying State, and the people inside fled. They drank, but were surrounded by the general that night."

"The border of Ying State was burned by their own generals."

"Tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry were burned alive."

"Then, in the name of the Turks burning the border, he gathered a large army to attack the Turks. In just four or five days, he traveled thousands of miles at night, destroyed thirteen cities, and killed more than thirty generals. One country was destroyed, three countries were in turmoil, and the world was in turmoil. Such a person was only thirty-seven years old. How young is a hero in the world!"

"Tuoba was destroyed by him."

"Even if it was Tan Tai Xianming's strategy, it was just to create chaos in the world and then gain benefits from it. He didn't think of destroying the country in this way, because destroying Tuyuhun would not be a good thing for him. But this general of Ying State was ruthless when he destroyed the country."

"Then he searched the capital of Tuyuhun and arrested all the nobles. It was unknown what he was looking for. More than 3,000 Tuyuhun nobles died because of this. In fact, Tantai Xianming seemed to be searching for this thing as well, but in the end they didn't find it."

A few casual conversations are about the general situation of the world and countless lives and deaths.

Li Guanyi asked: "Who is this general?"

The old man said: "The famous general of Ying State, Yuwen Lie."

"Watch and wait."

The old man took out a scroll and handed it to Li Guanyi. It was the God General List.
This was naturally not a problem at all. Li Guanyi glanced around but did not find the name until the old man helped him turn the pages of the book and pointed to the very front of the list of divine generals, even the part with the portraits. Only then did Li Guanyi find the name.

But when Li Guanyi looked at the corresponding portrait, his expression froze slightly. He saw the man on the list of divine generals, wearing heavy armor, with his face covered, riding a strange beast, holding a spear, and with a cold look in his eyes.

That look was exactly what Li Guanyi had seen before.

The real White Tiger Sect!

"No. 5 on the World God Generals List."

"Yingguo, Yuwenlie."

"I defeated the Western Regions on foot, I defeated the State of Chen on water, I defeated the Turks with my heavy cavalry when fighting 3,000 men against 80,000." "He is a fierce general!"

White Tiger Sect.

The top general of the time.

Li Guanyi was quiet and didn't speak for a long time. At this time, he seemed to feel the starlight in the sky. The destined fight seemed to be before him. The peaceful days in Jiangnan Road were shattered by the sharp edges of iron and fire swords.

When he looked at the famous general on the scroll, it was as if he saw him looking up at him.

The one who carries the destiny is naturally a hero. Compared with the older heroes, he has already accomplished earth-shaking achievements.

Just after Li Guanyi said that the fight would not stop until one dies.

The real White Tiger Clan appeared in front of Li Guanyi with the achievement of destroying a country.

Xue Daoyong said: "You and I have laid out our plans for the Western Regions, using our business cavalry and salt and iron to stir up the Western Regions. However, there are too many heroes in this world, and everyone is waiting for each other to make mistakes. If we make a mistake, we will die and our country will be destroyed. This is the world in troubled times."

Li Guanyi held the List of Divine Generals and nodded.

After chatting with the old man for a long time, he walked out of Tingfeng Pavilion, sat in the yard and looked at the sky. The sky was blue, and Li Guanyi could already see the position of the White Tiger Stars. He could hear people chatting on the street, talking about daily things, such as today's vegetable prices, and how a woman and a man from a certain family had quarreled today.

This is completely different from the fierce and majestic spirit of the Western Regions, and Li Guanyi has a sense of tearing.

He raised his head and saw the light of the Seven White Tiger Stars circulating in the sky. This should be because of the achievements of the White Tiger Sect. In the future, he will have to fight with the world's top military sect.

Sima Ming appeared from the corner again.

He carried a gourd of strong liquor mixed with water, which cost one penny a cup, and a handful of peanuts.

The old man said, "The situation in the Western Region has changed."

Li Guan nodded, in a daze.

He propped his chin up, thinking absentmindedly.

The great changes in the world have just begun, and the Western Regions will definitely be in chaos.

The changes in the world's situation will eventually be reflected in a major event that will gather top leaders from various countries. Somehow, when it comes to this matter, the first thing that comes to Li Guanyi's mind is the Great Sacrifice of the State of Chen.

There is still more than a month left for this matter, but Li Guanyi already feels that the Chen State Grand Sacrifice has become a whirlpool that may draw in all the heroes in the world.

It is also like the part of a glacier floating on the sea.

It's getting more and more troublesome.

The old man sighed and said sarcastically, "What you said before, that we will fight to the death, wasn't that a bit too arrogant?"

"Do you have any regrets?"

Li Guanyi replied: "A man should have the heart to draw his sword."

"I won't go to that extent of fearing the strong and bullying the weak."

The old man grinned but said nothing.

He just sat on the wall, looked at the stars in the sky that could be seen during the day, drank a sip of wine, and comforted himself:

"What a pity! If this achievement is related to you, you can ask the East Continent Stargazing School for help. Let the starlight cleanse it and see if you can refine your useless "Tiger Roaring Bone Tempering Technique" into something useful."

"Where did you get that thing from? It's so difficult to practice."

"Apart from starlight, let me think about it. Luck can also be used to temper the body, just like my Yin-Yang family... ahem, just like our Yin-Yang family."

"we!"

"We also have similar methods, based on the art of looking at qi, and then how to borrow the luck is the core, but this method must have some iconic things, you really don't get involved in this? Now the heroes of the world use the Western Regions as their cup and Tuyuhun as their soup, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie."

"You really didn't get involved?"

The old man asked suspiciously.

Li Guanyi thought about it and said affirmatively: "It is mixed a little bit, but it is definitely not big."

Siming grinned and said, "Indeed, you are just a small boy."

"How much?"

Li Guanyi stretched out his finger and drew a line, saying, "A little bit."

Siming laughed and said, "Is it this big?"

So Li Guanyi pinched his fingers a little smaller.

After a pause, it became a little smaller.

He himself felt that he had nothing to do with the Western Regions or the major events of the world.

The only thing that might have a little connection with the Western Regions is the letter from the border of Ying State.

But for such a big thing, Li Guanyi suspected that the second young master probably just went there for a stroll and didn't even know the news about the old man. He was half of his adviser, and now the young man felt as if the world was changing drastically and various heroes were appearing on the stage. The two of them went there arm in arm to gain some experience.

The old man was about to spit out the peanut skins, but when he saw a large iron pot looming behind a door, he had no choice but to put it away and comforted him: "It's okay, a little bit is amazing, how old are you? I believe you will achieve great things in the future."

"A temporary hardship is nothing."

"right?"

"By the way, what on earth did you do?"

Li Guanyi thought about it, took out the letter, and decided to see what the second young master had done. Then he would talk to the old man about the situation to see if he could share a little bit of his luck. The words in the letter were still heroic.

"It's like seeing you in person. Your plan is the best, brother. I respect it."

"What we have gained is all thanks to your strategy."

"I have a gift for you to show our friendship, your brother's plan and my courage."

There was something in the envelope. Li Guan shook it and the thing fell out.

There was a sound.

It's a seal.

The gold seal has a tiger button and a simple shape, with Tuyuhun characters on the back.

The old man glanced.

The expression on his face froze instantly.

"?!!!"
