Anshun County, Yi County.

The altar that was immediately built next to the river road was erected, and three animals and other sacrifices were already placed. On the incense altar, a bright yellow imperial edict was enshrined here.

There were crowds of people on both sides of the river. People from Yixian County gathered here and looked curiously towards the river.

Since the government of Yun State entered Yixian County, they have mobilized civilians, soldiers, grain and grass supplies from the rear. What exactly they wanted to do with such a big movement was not hidden from the people.

An altar was built and three animals were prepared to worship the Dragon King of Lujiang and ask for his help, just to dredge the Yixian waterway in front of him.

Ordinary people actually have the weakest sense of changes between heaven and earth, so it is naturally impossible for them to know that any dragons and strange beasts are appearing in the world.

But the origin of the theory of ghosts, gods, and strange things attracts the most attention. And the emperor's move to confer gods has been rare since ancient times.

Nowadays, Emperor Yun canonizes a dragon as the Dragon King of Lujiang. Such a highly talked about matter has naturally spread to Yixian County. The reason why people gathered here is to see the true form of the dragon.

Even at this time, someone had secretly opened a betting market on whether the Lujiang Dragon King really existed or was just a means by the Yun Kingdom to deceive the ignorant people.

Wu Zixu put on his court clothes, rode on a war horse, silently looked at the people gathered by the river, frowned and said:

"If the Lujiang Dragon King doesn't show up, I'm afraid that your majesty and the court's prestige will be lost!"

Zheng Guo on the side was slightly startled when he heard this. After glancing at the people of Yixian County gathered nearby, he also became a little hesitant.

After a moment of silence, Zheng Guofang shook his head slightly and said:

"I believe that Mr. Li Bing is not a person who talks nonsense... and with His Majesty's wisdom and prowess, it is impossible not to think of this. His Majesty has actually issued the imperial edict, so there will definitely be no problem!"

When Wu Zixu heard this, he could only put aside his hesitation again and said:

"Well, in that case, let's get ready to start!"

Zheng Guogang on the side just responded. At this moment, he suddenly heard a cry of killing coming from the distance, which immediately caused the people watching to scream in surprise.

Then they saw Xia army cavalry wearing dark black armor attacking from a distance, shouting to kill, looking murderous.

In the sight that is difficult for ordinary people to see, above the heads of the Xia army's cavalry, wolf smoke billowed straight into the sky, causing the heaven and earth to respond, and a strange tiger appeared.

Although it has never been able to condense the vision visible to the naked eye like Guan Ning's cavalry, with the blessing of the vision, the Xia army's military formation is extremely powerful.

Carrying awe-inspiring majesty, they charge in boldly. At first glance, they are an army that has been on the battlefield for a long time and is extremely elite.

Facing Xia's soldiers who were attacking from a distance, the people suddenly showed panic and left one after another, causing chaos along the river.

At this time, a Yun army scout horse galloped in front of Wu Zixu and reported urgently:

"Sir, the Xia Army's elite cavalry is attacking. There are about a thousand people. They occupy Nanjing Pass and are heading towards Yi County to kill!"

When Wu Zixu heard this, he turned his head slightly and raised his eyebrows:

"Only a thousand fine riders?"

Having said this, he couldn't help but laugh and continued:

"It seems that the Xia people are still a little confused...what, is there anyone willing to teach them a lesson?"

After hearing this, all the generals around Wu Zixu stood up one after another, their eyes burning, and they said with awe-inspiring fighting spirit:

"I will go where I will in the end!"

"Xia Jun is so impudent, please go forward and teach them a lesson!"

"Sir, the general only needs to lead five hundred soldiers and horses!"

"Mo, Mo will only need three hundred!"

The arrogance of the arrogant warriors and the contempt for Xia Jun were clearly reflected in his words!

When Wu Zixu saw the generals asking for battle, he raised his eyelids and casually nodded to the young general beside him, saying in a deep voice:

"Colonel Captain Chang Bai!"

Chang Bai, a young general, stepped out of the queue proudly. Amid the envious eyes of his colleagues, he clasped his fists and saluted, and responded loudly:

"The end is here!"

"I'll give you three hundred Guan Ning cavalry to repel the Xia army in the future." Wu Zixu said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Chang Bai, the young general, agreed without hesitation, flicked his cloak, turned around and left.

The next moment, three hundred men and horses were covered in heavy armor, with extremely ferocious animal helmets covering their faces. Only the heavy cavalry's eyes were exposed, and the iron hoofs of the heavy cavalry were stamped like thunder.

Dressed like this, with such aura, it is the Guan Ning cavalry that is now so powerful that it is praised by good people as the best cavalry in the world!

Wu Zixu's eyes were extremely sharp at this time, and he immediately ordered:

"Beat the military drum! Start the sacrifice!"

"yes!"

"Dong, dong, dong dong..." The snare drum suddenly sounded, slowly and quickly, and the rhythm became more and more exciting and high-pitched.

Accompanied by increasingly exciting bursts of military drums, Guan Ning's iron horse slowly increased its speed, its iron hooves stomped on the ground, the thunder became louder, and the murderous intent became more intense.

The sound of military drums, the sound of iron hoofs trampling on the ground, and the cry of killing all sounded together. The killing energy of the battlefield rose into the sky, causing the heaven and earth to move and respond immediately.

Under the condensed vision, the shadow of Xiongguan, standing on the earth like a giant dragon, now appeared above the head of Guan Ning's cavalry.

The people who were originally in chaos nearby stopped escaping and stared at the sky with their mouths agape, looking extremely shocked.

The strange phenomena of Xiongguan condensed and floated in the sky. It was called a miracle, and it immediately made all the people feel awe.

Even though they were unable to see the figure of the Lujiang dragon today, such a vision alone was enough to make the people respect the current Emperor Yun and the Yun Kingdom's court as if they were gods!

And right on the altar, the Yun State official who was in charge of the ceremony respectfully held up the imperial edict, read the imperial edict loudly amidst the shouts of killing, and said:

"In compliance with the weather and in accordance with the times, Emperor Dayun issued an edict saying:

The rivers in Yixian County are blocked, and the rivers are impassable, which is disturbing the people's livelihood. Now there is the Dragon King of Lujiang, who is canonized by the court, enjoys the worship of the people, and is ordered to clean up the rivers..."

The soldiers on the altar pushed hard and pushed down the table with three animals stacked on it. The tributes on it immediately rolled into the river.

Suddenly, there was a response from the river surface, and the river waves rolled violently, like boiling water.

Some people who had not left yet and had sharp eyes suddenly pointed at the river and shouted excitedly in a tone of excitement and fear:

"Look, there's a dark shadow swaying under the water!"

Some people who were very courageous and curious slowed down their steps and stopped leaving. Instead, they looked towards the river.

Then, above the water, a slender black shadow of more than ten feet was seen swaying around the altar.

There was no wind in the river but waves started to rise. The water in the river became more and more turbulent visibly to the naked eye, constantly impacting and lapping at the rocks in the river channel.

From time to time, you can still vaguely hear a "pop" sound coming from the river. The broken reefs were rolled out of the river by the waves, and then sank to the bottom of the river again a moment later.

"Lord Dragon! It's really Lord Dragon!" the people exclaimed, looking even more shocked and awed.

At this time, facing the charge of Guan Ning's cavalry, the killing aura spread out, and the solemn momentum condensed into one, just like Mount Tai coming down, making people feel a little breathless.

The general of the Xia army on the opposite side faced the charge of Guan Ning's cavalry. The heavy power made his chest feel heavy, and he immediately felt afraid and retreated.

Recalling the previous explanation given by Marquis Deyang, the Xia army general who led the charge could not help but rein in his horse and shouted:

"The Commander-in-Chief ordered us to only attack and harass, but not to fight with Yun's army at will. Send the order, withdraw!"

"The general has an order, withdraw!" the soldiers on the side immediately shouted in response.

After the military order was issued, the Xia army's cavalry suddenly slowed down.

The cavalry in front of them were already the most elite northern cavalry of the Xia Army. But at this time, facing the charging Guan Ning cavalry, they actually planned to retreat without fighting just because of the fear in the heart of the leading general.

After a lifetime of retreat, the morale of the Xia army's cavalry dissipated.

In the line of sight that is difficult for ordinary people to see, the vaguely condensed tiger phenomenon became extremely illusory at this time, and immediately dissipated directly after a few breaths.

The leading general of the Xia Army took the lead in turning his horse's head and shouted:

"All troops retreat! retreat!"

More than a thousand of Beisei's elite cavalry arrived with a mighty force that shocked people's hearts. When they left, the military formations were scattered, and they actually looked a bit embarrassed——

At this time, in Hechi County.

The Wuzhou Military Camp in Hechi County was the place where the Xia Army had been operating for many years. In various aspects, it was the most suitable for the garrison of large armies. However, Wuzhou was previously established to guard against the Yongzhou Camp. It was far away from Shaoyang County, so it was difficult to do so.

A place where the army is stationed.

Di Qing, the commander-in-chief of the Yongzhou camp and Zhendong general, had already led the Chinese army camp and moved to Guizhou, Hechi County. His troops were pointing directly at Yongzhou, an important town on Xia's southwest defense line a hundred miles away!

The newly established camp stretches for dozens of miles. The flags on it are flying, like a giant beast crawling and looking ahead.

In the camp, soldiers were constantly patrolling, and the guards were extremely tight. There were also sounds of soldiers training to kill, the sound of war horses neighing, and the sound of gold and metal clashing, resounding all around.

In the general tent of the camp, Di Qing was handling military affairs, when suddenly there was a hurried voice outside the tent:

"Commander, we have urgent military information!"

When Di Qing heard this, he immediately shouted:

"Come in!"

The ordering soldier walked quickly into the tent, knelt on one knee, held the military newspaper in his hand, and said loudly:

"Come on, Commander-in-Chief, the scouting horses ahead are known, Yongzhou troops and horses are mobilizing one after another, there seems to be something strange!"
