On the endless snowy field, Su Qianjue walked alone, leaving a row of lonely footprints on the snow-covered earth. Following the footprints behind him, a stretch of endless snow-capped mountains appeared and faintly in the wind and snow...

And there is still some distance ahead, a majestic pass stands tall.

Hanyu Pass... Looking at the city standing in the snow from afar, a trace of memories flashed across Su Qianjue's face.

Twenty years have passed, the tall and strong city walls are still tall, and the years of ice and snow have been washed away by the ice and snow for many years have left no trace on it.

Hanyu Pass is a grand pass established by Daqi in the northern region. It is the most cutting-edge protection of the northern border of Daqi. Facing the open snowy ice field, there is a wide avenue in the middle of the city wall that can accommodate more than ten carriages in parallel. What is most surprising is that there is no city gate at the exit, and only one hundred guards are responsible for guarding and inspecting the people of the caravans. There are only two thousand soldiers on duty on the wall, and there is only a fifty-person constable in the city. If people who don’t know the inside story will be confused by this when they see it.

Why is the defense power so weak as the gateway to the north of the Great Qi Dynasty? Although it is a ceasefire now, if the barbarians outside the territory suddenly break the contract and invade, how should they resist it? I am afraid they will be captured in an instant?

But the people in the city have never had any concerns in this regard. Some foreign merchants had such doubts when they came to Hanyu Pass. Every person asked was full of bold expressions on their faces, smiling and shaking their heads, disdaining the words they asked.

The barbarians came in? If it were thirty years ago, there would have been no one here... and after the arrival of that person thirty years ago, the place began to rebirth.

Five hundred years ago, the ten countries on the Central Plains were united and wars flew, and the people of the Central Plains were in great distress. Although the four forces outside the Central Plains were not strong at that time, they were also eyeing each other. Now the Great Qi is among the ten Central Plains countries. Until the throne, the Great Qi, who was known as the greatest saint since the founding of the Great Qi, succeeded to the throne, and in just ten years, a series of governing policies were implemented to quickly grow and grow the weak Great Qi at that time, and to become one of the strong countries. In the next five years, the war was launched gradually eroded the various countries, and then defeated them one by one, unifying the Central Plains, thus ending the thousand-year-old chaos in various countries and repelling the northern barbarians with the momentum of unifying the Central Plains.

Five hundred years later, Da Qi is still the only ruler on this land, and its national strength is still vigorous and without any decline. Over the past five hundred years, Da Qi has not been as stable as it has been. After years of development, the Northern Territory barbarians in the four forces have become stronger and stronger, and have once again ignited the flames of invasion of the Central Plains. On the border, Da Qi and the barbarians have been constantly chasing, with countless wars of all sizes, and many defeats have been suffered. Fortunately, since the Holy Lord, every emperor of Da Qi has been a stunning and beautiful person, which has allowed Da Qi to be reborn in the midst of countless hardships.

To this day, many people among the people say that it was because the holy king ended the thousand-year chaotic times and the people were safe. God felt that his merits were immeasurable, so he brought blessings, so that every emperor of the Great Qi after him was a saint, wise and benevolent king.

Until now, although the barbarians in the Northern Region still covet the rich Central Plains, they dare not easily launch national wars in the face of the still strong Da Qi.

However, small and medium-sized wars have never stopped, and the barbarians frequently invaded the northern border of the Great Qi.

After the two sides continued for a long time, the barbarians were in turmoil and their internal forces fought for power and profit, so they reached an agreement with the Great Qi. The two sides ceased to negotiate peace, and the barbarians agreed not to attack the Great Qi border.

The three forces of the East China Sea Islands, which had just announced their surrender to the Great Qi, had a strange movement from the three forces of the Xiliang countries in the southern border of the Hundred Tribes Alliance of the South Xinjiang, so after discussion and negotiation, the emperor decided to temporarily transfer half of the 1.5 million troops stationed in Hanyu Pass to disperse them to the other three passes to strengthen them to prevent the three forces from causing trouble again. The remaining 750,000 troops retreated to the Tanmu Prefecture behind Hanyu Pass for deterrence. Only thousands of soldiers remained at Hanyu Pass, and at that time, Hanyu Pass had a gate...

For a while later, Hanyu Pass was as usual. Except for the bandits who were still coming to harass every short period of time, there was no problem.

Until thirty years ago, the barbarians in the Northern Region, who were constantly strife, suddenly gathered nearly 500,000 troops and attacked Hanyu Pass like crazy!

The result was naturally that the city gate was broken, and the thousands of guards seemed so powerless in the face of such an offensive. Countless barbarian soldiers rushed into the pass, killing the man and taking the woman away, burning, killing and robbing all kinds of evil. In just half a day, except for the woman taken away, there was no living in the whole city, and countless blood dyed every tiles in the city red...

After the massacre of the city, the army did not choose to retreat, but continued to head towards Tanmu Prefecture. Because the incident happened suddenly, when the veteran General Fang Yiwei, who was guarding Tanmu Prefecture at that time, received the news that Hanyu Pass was broken, the huge sound of horse hooves was already at the city!

Fortunately, there were 750,000 troops stationed in Tanmuzhou, which promptly resisted the barbarian offensive. However, the good times did not last long. There were continuous armies in the rear of the barbarians, with a total of one million troops!

A total of 1.5 million, almost all the barbarians' troops were the forces. This was definitely a long-planned conspiracy!

Faced with so many troops in the local area, General Fang did not panic, but quickly dispatched troops to resist the enemy. On the other hand, he sent people to report to the court for reinforcements.

At the same time, the other three forces outside the border of Daqi quickly gathered their troops under the three gates. They did not attack, but successfully restrained the Zhongzhou court from sending troops to reinforce Tanmuzhou. Daqi was once surrounded by enemies.

This turmoil was obviously premeditated. The four forces gathered all their troops, as if they were ready to make a decision to have a fight with Daqi.

The situation became increasingly severe, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and what caught Daqi the most off guard was that the three forces that depended on Daqi for hundreds of years because of their weakness. This time, the three forces that paid tribute every year showed their strength to frighten Daqi. They were far from the weak appearance they showed on the surface. They had been hiding their strength and resting their time! They also reached a secret agreement with the barbarians and suddenly attacked at the most critical moment!

Although these three forces were just waiting for the troops and did not intend to attack, Daqi did not dare to take this risk. For a moment, the court could not make a decision on whether to immediately mobilize troops to support Tanmuzhou, so it could only stand stalemate with the three forces.

A day later, outside the state border, the barbarian army was still attacking wildly. In the barracks, Fang Yiwei kept giving orders to his soldiers. This veteran general, who was over 60 years old, had never closed his eyes all night. On the desk table in front of him, there was an imperial edict that was delivered in the middle of the night yesterday.

Looking at the imperial edict, it was said - I was worried that the veteran general must block the barbarian offensive. I was working hard and reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible!

This general Tiance, who had experienced countless wars, could see at a glance what the imperial edict meant, that there would be no reinforcements in a short period of time.

So... Is something wrong with the other three levels...

The veteran stood outside the camp, looking up at the gloomy and dim sky without saying a word.
