I will live forever in the martial arts world

Kitahara.

In the northern grassland in spring, the birds are not singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the ground is still covered with ice and snow.

This is still a place close to the Central Plains. There is still some green color among the mountains and rivers.

But the further north you go, the green color begins to change to the color of ice and snow.

At this time, the ice and snow on many grasslands have not yet melted, and grass has not grown. This is also the time when the northern grassland tribes are at their weakest.

But even on such a barren grassland, various Xiongnu tribes were still born. After thousands of years of development, tribes were derived and cities were built.

The high city walls are all made of square stones and are more than thirty people tall, almost the same height as the imperial city of Chang'an of the Han Dynasty.

Just because this place is also a royal city.

The royal city of the Xiongnu.

On top of the towering city walls, there are many fortresses. In the fortresses, a lot of steam is steaming, and the city is bustling with people. Outside the city, there are leather-armored warriors, wearing thick gloves and cloaks, fighting in the cold wind and frozen soil. The patrols in the middle are mighty and majestic, all of them are mentally sharp, and their momentum is no less than that of the martial arts masters from the Central Plains.

The Huns are a people on horseback, a nomadic tribe, but at any time, the superiors will turn the power in their hands into capital for enjoyment.

Nomadic refers only to the Xiongnu herdsmen, not the royal family.

The royal family never goes to graze cattle, just like the emperors of the Central Plains never go to farm land. They all live in tall, magnificent palaces.

This stone city built on the northern plateau was the royal city of one of the most powerful of the Xiongnu royal families named "King Xiutu".

The palace of King Xiutu is located in the center of the city. There is a smell of sulfur in the palace. This is a hot spring that allows the noble princes and nobles to enjoy the spring breeze even in the cold northern plains.

However, no matter how warm the hot spring was today, it could not dispel the chill in the hearts of everyone in this palace.

"Han people? Did I hear that right?"

King Xiutu looked at the priest from the Tianyuan Temple in front of him and said:

"You said that the Han people actually dared to cross the border and attack us in Beiyuan?"

"Yes, according to the intelligence received in the Central Plains, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty secretly sent four groups of troops, each led by four generals of the Han Dynasty, each leading 10,000 elite cavalry, accompanied by several horses and baggage, and launched an attack on our grassland from four directions. attack."

The speaker was a man whose whole body was covered in a robe, and his head was also wrapped in it, with only a pair of smart eyes exposed.

Next to him, there were several people wearing different colors, all holding their heads, with only their eyes exposed.

These are clearly some of the priests from the "Tian Yuan Temple" among the major holy places of cultivation in Beiyuan.

Their high priest Shituba is the third master in the world in Beiyuan. He has the ability to communicate with many gods around Changshengtian.

Grassland people regard Changshengtian as their supreme god.

Under the Changsheng Heaven, there are also other gods believed by various tribes, such as the God of Light, the Wolf God, the Blood God, the Deer God, etc.

In the mythology of the grassland people, these gods are existences that are closely attached to the Changshengtian.

Rumor has it that Changshengtian spent most of his time practicing hard.

Therefore, what is often transmitted from the Tianyuan Temple is the divine will such as the God of Light, the Wolf God, and the Blood God.

Grassland culture is a culture in which divine authority overrides royal authority.

Therefore, the high priest of Tianyuan Temple, to a certain extent, has almost the same status as the great chanyu of the grassland, or even more than half.

As a Tianyuan Temple with such great power, it not only worships the grassland gods, but also serves as a grassland martial arts holy place, and a special ancestral temple that monitors intelligence on the grassland and the Central Plains externally and internally.

This time, when Liu Che sent troops to attack from four directions.

The gods on the grassland immediately sensed the invasion from the Han Dynasty and informed the high priest of the temple about the incident. Following that, they did receive information about some traitors from the Han Dynasty.

"The Han people actually have such courage! They dare to counterattack us! How ridiculous!"

The officials and generals in the Xiutu Palace who received the news immediately were all shocked and laughed.

For hundreds of years...

From the Warring States Period in the Central Plains to the Qin Dynasty, and even the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bang, there have always been only examples of the Huns attacking the Han people in the Central Plains. How could there be any time when the Central Plains people attacked and invaded them.

Has this changed?

A Hun prince with a mustache pinched his beard and said: "This little emperor of the Han Dynasty took the wrong medicine. He is so bold that he doesn't want to die..."

"No!"

After King Xiutu thought about it, he said:

"I know this little emperor of the Han Dynasty. Six years ago, King Zuoguli Yi Zhixie took several masters from our grassland to Pingyang City of the Han Dynasty in order to force this little emperor to sign a new tribute treaty. , and you all know what happened next.”

On the grassland, God has the greatest power. All the creatures on the grassland only recognize the Immortal Sky in their hearts, followed by the gods of the grassland.

Under all the gods, there is the Great Chanyu appointed by the Changsheng Heaven.

Equivalent to the emperor of the Central Plains people.

Under the Great Chanyu are the princes.

King Xiutu was the most powerful force among the princes.

But although he is powerful, he is not the highest prince in terms of status. This is because there are four princes below the Great Chanyu and above the ordinary princes, who are truly below one person and above ten thousand people.

These four princes are jointly honored as the "Four-cornered Dragon King", namely the left and right Xian Wang and the left and right Guli kings.

The elegant Yi Zhixie who once appeared in Pingyang City was King Zuo Guli among the four-cornered dragon kings.

At the same time, he is also the younger brother of Shanyu Junchen.

Two years ago, the military minister Danyu died, and his son King Zuoxian came to the throne. King Zuoxian was similar to the "Prince of the East Palace" of the Han people.

After that, Yizhixie became the contemporary Shanyu's Uncle Wang.

…

"That time six years ago, we lost Huyan Dapan, a great man of heaven on the grassland, and even almost caused the death of King Yi Zhixie of Zuoguli there. And according to the news that Yi Zhixie brought back, this little emperor is not the same as before. All the emperors of the Han Dynasty were different."

"Although he is young, he has shown an unusually militant character. In the past few years, he has been assisted by Wang Xuanfu among the Han people, and he has already formed the prototype of a generation of heroes."

In King Xiutu's city, everyone listened to the story from King Xiutu.

The relationship between King Xiutu and King Zuoguli is very close, and it is well known in Beiyuan. There are even rumors that King Xiutu is secretly supporting King Zuoguli Yizhi in launching a coup against the current Great Chanyu.

"Haha, even if there was a hero in the Han Dynasty, the people of the Central Plains have been a group of weak and incompetent sheep since ancient times. Only the wolves on our grasslands have always eaten sheep, and we have never seen sheep eat wolves in turn."

A burly prairie man sneered:

"This time the Han people invaded, it was a sheep in the wolf's mouth. We can just use our strength to wipe them all out and then move south. With this excuse, the Han Dynasty will pay us ten times more tribute every year!"

"Don't be careless!"

King Xiutu said in a deep voice:

"Since the emperor of the Han Dynasty dared to use 40,000 cavalry to attack us, it means that the Han Dynasty has made a lot of preparations for this battle. You know, the Han people can afford ten soldiers for the money they spend on raising one cavalry. That is to say, these 40,000 cavalrymen cost at least 400,000 Han people's money and food, which shows how much effort they put into it. Do you have any information about the four generals of the Han army?"

"Yes." The expert from Tianyuan Temple immediately told the information about the fourth general.

"Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He, this is a father and son. It is said that they are descendants of the Ji surname of Yan State during the Warring States Period in the Central Plains. Later, they changed their surname to Gongsun. They are a common family of military commanders in the Han Dynasty. I know them. If this father and son bring The words of soldiers are nothing to worry about.

And Wei Qing, the brother-in-law of the Han Dynasty emperor, a young man in his twenties, is actually qualified to lead an army of 10,000 to attack us. It is really laughable. "

King Xiutu said in a deep voice:

"On the contrary, it is the last one, Flying General Li Guang. I have heard of his reputation for a long time. He is the only Han general among the Han people who was able to survive to this day after a battle with the military god Tuoba Ye in his early years. This man's martial arts are extremely Gao, it is said that he has reached a level close to that of a god, so he has to guard against it.”

All the other prairie men also fell into silence after hearing Li Guang's name.

This Han general is indeed famous far and wide.

"So, what does King Xiutu mean?"

Everyone looked at the prince whose military strength on the northern plateau was only inferior to that of the Four-Cored Dragon King.

"I mean, Li Guang is the most powerful of the four groups of Han cavalry. I am the first to charge against him, but this man's force is extremely strong. I am afraid that even if I defeat his 10,000 cavalry, it is difficult to capture him, so …”

King Xiutu looked at Tianyuan Temple and said:

"I need the Tianyuan Temple to take action. I hope to ask the high priest to accompany the army. Even if it is not possible, I also hope that the high priest can call a few gods to come to my Xiutu King City. If it is possible, I can guarantee that it can be done. Kill all the most powerful cavalry among the Han people, and then send Li Guang's head to Langjuxu Mountain to worship heaven."

The main temple of Tianyuan Temple is located on Langjuxu Mountain, the sacred mountain of the prairie people.

But at the same time, there are also many branch temples in the cities of princes and kings. In each branch temple, there is a "Golden Man to Sacrifice Heaven", which allows the gods beside Changshengtian to come to the world and spread the glory of the gods.

After King Xiutu said this, he looked at the priests in the temple in front of him.

The priest, whose whole body was covered in robes, seemed to be communicating with something for a moment, and then said after being silent:

"The high priest knows how powerful Li Guang is. When the time comes, he will ask the temple's saint Tuotuo to come in person, along with three gods. They are the wolf god and the light god on our grassland. and Xuanming God, but the premise is that King Xiutu must prepare sacrifices for the three gods, which requires a hundred girls, a thousand lambs, and a thousand yaks for the gods to come."

"With the support of Tianyuan Temple, I have full confidence!"

King Xiutu smiled.

The priest, whose whole body was wrapped in a robe, said: "As long as the sacrifices are ready, King Xiutu will just lead his troops to attack Li Guang, and the three gods will follow him on the battlefield."

"Okay, then I will wait on the battlefield for the arrival of the temple saint and several gods!"

King Xiutu walked out of the palace with his hands behind his back:

"My sons, let's go and follow this king to attack this flying general. Let these more than 10,000 Han cavalry be buried under the frozen soil of our Northern Plains!"
