Chapter 499: The West Garrison Army?_2
Translator: 549690339
The true territory of the Great Zhou was actually the fertile land after the Qin army attacked the Dragon Subdue Pa.s.s, Tiger Subdue Pa.s.s, and Futian Pa.s.s.
As for the lands in the west, north, and outside the West Garrison Pa.s.s that were occupied by the Qin army, they were actually the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty thousands of years ago.
Right now, the emperor’s Dragon Tiger Army and other elite troops were all stationed at Dragon Subdue Pa.s.s, Tiger Subdue Pa.s.s, and Futian Pa.s.s.
It was obvious that they had abandoned the western frontier and the north outside the defensive circle.
He had made up his mind to let the Western Garrison Army and the Qin Army fight to the death before he sat back and reaped the benefits.
Of course, the Western Garrison Army could also choose to surrender to the Qin Army.
However, the emperor was not worried at all.
Because the Qin army and the Western Garrison Army were mortal enemies.
A large portion of the gra.s.sland barbarians were the predecessors of the Qin army. The barbarians kidnapped thousands of people from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty’s royal family. They brutally castrated the men and tortured them to death, while the women were sold as military prost.i.tutes.
This was an irreconcilable blood feud.
The reason why the Divine Martial Army surrendered was only one of the reasons.
The main reason was that Da Qian needed people to survive.
The Divine Martial Army would not give up until they killed a million barbarians for revenge.
Even the Great Zhou was one of the murderers who destroyed the Great Gan.
However, compared to the actions of the barbarians, the Great Zhou, which was also a va.s.sal, had more or less preserved enough dignity for the Great Gan.
It was also because they knew that the Western Garrison Army would never ally with the Qin Army.
That was why the emperor could set up the Great Zhou’s defense line at the front lines of the Dragon and Tiger Subdue Pa.s.s with such ease.
After all, although the western border was the main battlefield against the Qin army, the Qin army was still in the west.
However, it was too far from the Great Zhou’s inland. The rate of loss of grain along the way was frighteningly high.
The Great Zhou and the Qin army had been fighting for so many years, and the country’s grain deficit was already very serious.
Naturally, they would not lose more food for the Western Garrison Army.
Currently, the emperor had only maintained the food supply of the Western Garrison Pa.s.s, but he had not sent any reinforcements.
Fortunately, the West Garrison Army did not expect any reinforcements.
Now, they were defending this place only to kill a few more Qin soldiers.
Li Yueming had heard of these rumors, but he had never taken them to heart.
After all, in his opinion, those were all things that happened too long ago. Even if there were some problems left behind by history, they had long been washed away by the merciless pa.s.sage of time.
NOW, wnen ne nearcl Ll Nanteng talk aDout tms.
Only then did he truly feel the blood and fire contained in this matter.
Even now, the West Garrison Army still had not forgotten the hatred they had for him 5,000 years ago.
They had been relying on the West Garrison Pa.s.s to fight the Qin army to the death.
After saying this, Li Nanfeng finished the last gla.s.s of wine in his gla.s.s and immediately put the gla.s.s back on the table. He looked at Li Yueming with a solemn expression and said, ‘”‘These things were instructed by your grandfather when he was still alive, but I never told you because I didn’t want you children to be involved in this matter again!”
” The reason why the Western Garrison Army’s spirit has not been destroyed for generations is that they will not stop until they kill the Qin army. This is the fate of the Western Garrison Army and the best home for them…So no matter what you say, I won’t run away halfway!”
At this point, Li Nanfeng closed his eyes and seemed a little tired.
In the end, he revealed a smile of relief,””When these things spread to my generation, we can finally stop here. We don’t have to continue to harm our descendants.”
Li Yueming Ming was completely silent until Li Nanfeng got up to leave.
Li Nanfeng opened the door. Outside, the snow and the cold wind with yellow sand were like silver needles that p.r.i.c.ked one’s skin. Li Nanfeng turned around and looked at Li Yueming, smiling.”Son, I’m really happy that you’re here to see me. However, you’re also the leader of an army, so it’s not convenient for you to stay here for long!”
“Remember to help me say h.e.l.lo to those two girls when you go back. I hope they can forgive me. I’m not a qualified father. Not only did I not accompany you guys growing up, but I also didn’t even worry about your marriage…”
After saying that, Li Nanfeng closed the door and left without looking back.
Li Yueming was stunned for a long time. Finally, he smiled bitterly and drank the rest of the wine in his gla.s.s.
Before coming to the western frontier, he had considered many things.
Although the other difficulties were a little troublesome, they could be overcome as long as they thought of a way.
The only problem was that Li Nanfeng refused to return to the North Glacier Town. Li Yueming had no solution to this problem.
After all, Li Nanfeng had his own legs.
If he didn’t want to leave, Li Yueming couldn’t really tie him up.
Putting aside whether they could win or not, even if they could, the West Garrison Army was not to be trifled with.
Since things had come to this, it was useless to say more.
Li Yueming stood up and prepared to leave.
Just as Li Nanfeng had said, Li Yueming was now the leader of an army, so he didn’t have time to stay here.
As for Li Nanfeng, he could only think of a way after he returned!
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Yueming did not hesitate.
At dawn, he also disappeared from the small wooden house.
After spending some effort, Li Yueming left the West Garrison Pa.s.s. While the sky was still dark, he found the temporary stable where the horses were tied up. He wanted to see if there were any spiritual horses here so that he could ride one back to Northern Glacier Town.
Unexpectedly, after entering the stable, Li Yueming found that the black horse he rode before was still eating gra.s.s in the stable..
