Over the years, there have been wise monarchs or ambitious emperors among the countries. However, they could at most build their own country into a hegemonic empire, and the unification of the Central Plains was only a dream.
And now, the ambition of countless emperors to unify the Central Plains was close at hand for Emperor Yuan.
“Go get my marching map.” Lord Wu An ordered in a low voice.
He did not leave, but continued to stand on the city wall against the severe cold.
After the New Year, the Great Yuan seemed to have no movement.
But everyone knew that this was just a feint.
Both Yu Country and Wei Country were like facing a great enemy, setting up the highest defense preparations on the border, fearing that the Great Yuan would suddenly send troops to attack at any time.
It was at this time that Lord Wu’an was invited out of the mountain by the Yu Country emperor.
Although he was old and confused, he at least knew that he needed to preserve his own territory, otherwise all the pleasures and peace were nonsense.
This was just adding to the laughter of others.
The old man, who was over seventy years old, was going to lead the troops out of the mountain. Yu Country really had no one.
No matter what others say, this time Lord Wu An came out of the mountain, he was prepared to die.
He knew that the survival of Yu Country was at stake in this battle.
It was inevitable that the Great Yuan would send troops to Yu Country.
If he couldn’t stop that cavalry, the capital behind him naturally wouldn’t be able to stop it either.
The country would be defeated and the home would be lost, nothing more than that.
Soon, the marching map was presented.
Lord Wu An frowned as he looked at the terrain depicted on it.
“The Great Yuan’s Weishan Army has not yet been recalled, and the most likely to be sent to attack Yu Country is probably the Tianji Army of the King of Beining of the Great Yuan.”
King of Beining.
Lord Wu An frowned.
He had heard of the methods of this rising star, who was said to have scared the Huns so much that they abandoned their royal court and migrated westward en masse.
All the countries in the northwest of the Great Wilderness have been harassed by the Huns, but for someone like the King of Beining, it was indeed the first time. Even when Lord Wu An was young, he also led troops to fight the Huns, knowing that they were good at extremely cunning guerrilla warfare, and as a general, he knew more about the difficulties.
Lord Wu An sighed, “These younger generations are really stronger than the previous ones.”
As he was speaking, a servant came to report, “General! A fast horse just came from the capital!”
A fast horse with a whip, naturally, came with a decree.
The deputy general, Qing Sheng, who was standing next to Lord Wu An, immediately looked unhappy, “Could it be that the emperor has some new instructions?”
It’s not surprising that Qing Sheng reacted this way, but every instruction from the Yu Country emperor was a hindrance.
Clearly afraid of the country being invaded, he begged Lord Wu An to come out of the mountain, but he was also wary of Lord Wu An’s reputation among the countries and the people, fearing that this old man would rebel once he got the military power.
It’s just that the Wu family was big and successful, and every generation was promising.
Lord Wu An frowned, “Qing Sheng, you must not disrespect the king.”
However, when he unfolded this decree, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply at the content inside.
Faced with the imminent cavalry, Yu Country emperor’s first reaction was not to pluck more of the military pay that had been embezzled by the treacherous officials over the years, but to issue a decree asking him not to take the initiative to use force and strive for peace. And he also said that at the beginning, he only gave him the tiger talisman to mobilize the pass army, and did not send troops to reinforce it.
Even Lord Wu An, who had experienced many storms, couldn’t help but have a headache.
He couldn’t help but think of the Emperor Yuan, who was still a prince when he fought against him.
At that time, Emperor Yuan narrowly lost because the Great Yuan did not send him reinforcements. Only then did he have to turn back and retreat.
And now, this person has become himself.
Lord Wu An could only smile bitterly, “Put it away.”
At the time of life and death, how absurd it is!
Just as the city wall was silent because of this decree, the scout on the lookout tower of the forward camp suddenly exclaimed, “Enemy attack! There’s an enemy attack!”
The horn sounded in the silent snowfield.
All the soldiers were ready for battle, and Lord Wu An put his hand on the city wall and looked solemnly into the distance.
On the pure white curtain where the sky and the snow meet, a line of pure black cavalry was approaching like a black line.
The man leading them was in white clothes and on a white horse, almost blending with the background. He held the Qixing Longyuan in one hand, his eyebrows were silent and deep, his expression was calm and cold, like the snow that had fallen silent in the distant glacier.
However, what attracted the most attention was not his white clothes and white horse, but his long hair, which was as white as snow.
There was no army in the Great Wilderness that had not heard of the reputation of this cavalry.
The Xuan Cavalry of the Third Prince of the Great Yuan!
The King of Beining may just be cruel, but this cavalry was undefeated, using troops like a god, often stabbing into the heart of the enemy like a sharp knife at the most unexpected times.
As early as the Battle of Hangu Pass, they were put on the altar for winning more with less under extremely unequal numbers.
Lord Wu An’s pupils shrank, and he shouted loudly, “Prepare the army! Meet the enemy!”
