Film and TV: Starting from the marriage with Zhao Linger

"Your Highness! Your Highness..."

When Li Shouxi was still three days away from Fengtian City, a fast horse suddenly came rushing.

This made Li Bei and other students look curiously at the messenger who brought the news. They didn't know what had happened that made him come here in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

"Why are you so panicked?"

Li Shouxi's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that if it wasn't something particularly serious or urgent, Wang Meng would be able to handle it.

The messenger is so anxious at this time, I'm afraid something big must have happened.

"Your Highness, there is news from Longmen Pass that the barbarians have sent out a million troops and will arrive at Longmen Pass in three days."

hiss hiss hiss...

All the students present took a deep breath.

A million-strong barbarian army is about to attack the city? Not to mention the poor students, even Li Bei was shocked by why the barbarians suddenly made such a move.

"A million cavalrymen marching south?"

Even Li Shouxi couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Although there were barbarian cavalry marching south before, they were basically evenly matched, and Li Shouxi was the first to lead the charge.

At this time, these one million cavalrymen are heading south, determined to win.

Thinking of this, Li Shouxi understood that without the instigation of the aristocratic families, these barbarians would not have been able to be so united.

“It seems that this king cannot personally settle Mr. Li and others this time.

But you don't have to worry. Shaoqing will lead you to take over the meeting with Governor Wang, and you will have no shortage of benefits.

As for the barbarians moving south this time?

This king has fought with the barbarian army no less than dozens of times. The barbarians have marched southward on a large scale twice, but they have never broken through the Longmen Pass, and they didn't even have the chance to be the first to reach it.

Because the barbarians are all cavalry, even if they have siege equipment such as ladders, they are useless against Longmen Pass!"

"Useless? Why is that?"

“The walls of Longmen Pass are all more than 14 or 15 zhang high, and there are arrow holes at 70 or 80 zhang to block the ladders, so ordinary ladders cannot reach the top of the wall.

Moreover, there are hundreds of arrow towers equipped with three-bow crossbows on the city walls. Not to mention the millions of barbarian cavalry, even if tens of millions of barbarians marched south, they would not be able to break through the defenses of Longmen Pass!"

One man is in charge, no one can open it!

Li Shouxi has absolute confidence in Longmen Pass, which is a truly impregnable natural barrier.

For this purpose, he also designed many insidious traps and weapons, which he was unable to use before because the number of barbarians was too small. Unexpectedly, the opportunity came now.

The reason why Li Shouxi explained so much was that he was worried that some people would be scared away by the news of the barbarians heading south.

"Where is that celestial-level expert?"

"Do you think the arrow tower at Longmen Pass is a vegetarian?

Especially the power of the bed crossbow. Even a celestial being cannot block an arrow that is powerful enough to pierce through metal and stone within a hundred steps.

Moreover, among the 300,000 soldiers, there are at least 30,000 archers. Even if they are masters of astronomy, they can only protect themselves in the face of this rain of arrows, but they have no chance to advance."

The archers of the imperial court soldiers and the archery skills in the academy both require long-term training and practice.

This is not a game, you can draw the bow and arrow right away.

A true crossbowman needs to pull a three-stone strong bow and throw the ball at a distance of more than a hundred feet to be considered a qualified crossbowman.

As for the top-notch marksmen, such as Lu Bu's shooting of the halberd at the gate and Yang Youji's shooting of stones and drinking feathers, they can basically kill gods and Buddhas.

Therefore, the ancients were strong in cavalry, but archers were the rarest.

"Shaoqing, you take the students to Fengtian, and Governor Wang will arrange for them.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a careerist or a husband, and the treatment will be in accordance with what I promised before.”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After Cao Shaoqing agreed, he nodded to everyone.

What Li Shouxi promised was not much, and might be extremely precious in the eyes of outsiders, but in Liaodong, it was a specialty of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

After all, the major tribes of Buyeo, Wanyan, and Dongxia all live near Taibai Mountain or the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains, and these things are paid as tribute to the Prince of Yan's Palace in large quantities every year.

As a return gift, Prince Yan's Mansion basically opened up luxury goods such as soap, glass, and snow salt to these tribes.

Therefore, the Prince of Yan’s Mansion had no shortage of these promised things.

"Tiger Head, go to Longmen Pass!"

At this time, this place was already Liaodong, so Li Shouxi was not worried that others would dare to pay attention to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Therefore, after giving some instructions to the four girls of Mei Jian and saying goodbye to Zhao Linger, Li Shouxi directly took Li Shentong and the three hundred black-armored cavalry away.

A ninth-grade Great Vajra Realm expert and three hundred seventh-grade masters, stirring up a cloud of dust, headed towards Jianmen Pass.

As for Zhao Linger in the carriage?

With the four girls of Mei Jian serving him, Li Shouxi was not worried.

After the wedding of the Saint Aunt and the Grandma, the Saint Aunt returned to southern Xinjiang with the Nanzhao envoys, while the Grandma went directly east to return to Xianling Island. Therefore, the only ones who could accompany Zhao Linger at this time were Mei Jian and the other four daughters.

Chapter 69: Eternal Night is Coming, Winter is Coming

"Your Highness, you are finally here!"

Longmen Pass, inside the Three Armies Hall.

Li Shouxi traveled day and night and finally arrived at Longmen Pass on the third day.

Of course, Hu Kui's speed can be even faster, but Li Shouxi still has the Black Armored Cavalry behind him.

"Duke Zhenguo, do you know who is the leader of the Northern Plains barbarians this time? Why did they suddenly head south?"

In the hall, Su Dingshan was the leader, and generals including Yuwen Chengdu and his wife, Qin Shan, Luo Ding, etc. were all there. At the same time, everyone's eyes were all focused on Li Shouxi.

When they learned the news that Li Shouxi was promoted to a celestial being, they were extremely shocked.

They naturally knew what Li Shouxi's situation was.

Unparalleled divine power, dominate the world!

It was originally thought that Li Shouxi would enter the Great Vajra Realm after entering the ninth level, but unexpectedly, Li Shouxi would enter the Celestial Phenomenon first and then the Vajra Realm.

He will definitely be a dual-realm grandmaster in the future.

“Your Highness, this time Caobeiyuan’s march southward is very aggressive.

These one million cavalrymen are composed of fourteen tribes in the grassland. In addition to the six major tribes of the barbarians to our north, there are also 100,000 wolf cavalrymen from the grassland wolf tribe, 30,000 eagle warriors from the eagle tribe, and 150,000 fire bull riders from the horned bull tribe...

The commander is Tuoba Daman, the god of war from the Northern Plains, with the Barbarian King, the Wolf King, and the Horned Oxen Tribe Fiery King as deputy generals.

After the Duke of Zhenguo finished his introduction, even Li Shouxi couldn't help but gasp.

Before, they were facing the six major tribes of barbarians, and now there were six ninth-grade masters.

At this time, so many tribes have united together, with at least ten ninth-grade masters, and Tuoba Daman is one of the top ten masters in Jiuzhou. Compared with Li Shouxi, the newcomer who was promoted, he is one of the top ten grand masters.

"Can you find out why Beiyuan suddenly went south?"

"Yesterday, the spies reported that the High Priest of Beiyuan had recently predicted the future for the grasslands. The divination was:

The night is coming, and winter is coming!"

hiss hiss hiss...

Even Li Shouxi couldn't help but pause when he heard this, or rather, he couldn't believe it.

Because he knew clearly that eternal night and bitter winter were not so-called myths, but a cold wave similar to the Little Ice Age, which appeared once every few hundred years or a thousand years and lasted from three to ten years, not hundreds of years.

It first started from Beiyuan and then slowly extended to the entire Kyushu.

But although it is cold in the Central Plains of Kyushu, there are still spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the temperature is at most about ten degrees lower than the same period.

In this case, grain production would be reduced by more than half, but it would not lead to the destruction of the country and extinction of the people.

But Beiyuan is different. First of all, Beiyuan's geographical location is the first to be affected, and the cold current swept across the entire Beiyuan first; secondly, in the last record of eternal night or winter, Beiyuan was almost always below zero degrees and covered with ice and snow. One can imagine the living environment of Beiyuan at that time.

Therefore, after the eternal night, the population of Beiyuan was no longer reduced to only one in ten thousand, and it took hundreds of years for the country to recover.

"Your Highness, are the records of Yongye true?"

"it is true.

Before I came to Liaodong, I collected a large number of records about Beiyuan in the Imperial Library, among which there were the records of "Eternal Night" and "Bitter Winter".

Winter is coming, and the entire northern plain will be covered in ice and snow. The daytime will be shortened, livestock will begin to die, and no herdsmen will survive!"

hiss hiss hiss...

Even the generals who hated Beiyuan very much were stunned by the picture painted by Li Shouxi.

This scene is completely a mass extinction of species. I didn’t expect that there would be such a catastrophe in the northern plains.

“Similarly, Kyushu is not having an easy time either.

The northern plains are shrouded in darkness and covered in ice and snow, and the temperature in the central plains will also drop sharply.

If you don’t have double winter clothing in winter, you will surely die; if the temperature is not high enough during summer and autumn harvests, and the food supply is reduced by half, it will be the beginning of the decline of a dynasty! ”

hiss hiss hiss...

Another inhalation sound was heard in the hall.

Unexpectedly, not only Beiyuan, but even Central Plains could not escape the catastrophe. Isn’t this a natural disaster that foreshadows the decline of the dynasty?

"My Lord, is this really a punishment from heaven?"

"In ancient times, there was a tree called Dachun, which had a spring of 8,000 years and an autumn of 8,000 years. This was a great year.

The world we live in also has a great cycle, and winter and eternal night are one pole of this cycle, just like the winter solstice. Therefore, this is not a so-called disaster from God, but just a cycle of a great era, which we just happened to catch up with. "

"I see!"

Even the Duke of Zhenguo couldn't help but look at Li Shouxi with admiration when he heard this.

With just a few words, he suppressed the fear in everyone's hearts.

After all, people's reverence for heaven and earth is in their bones; but people's reverence for nature is much less.

The difference between heaven, earth and nature is faith and cognition.

"But now, what we should worry about is that Beiyuan intends to use Liaodong as a breakthrough point this time, and they will definitely fight to the death."

When everyone came to their senses, how could they not know Beiyuan's plan and purpose?

Beiyuan will soon cease to exist, shrouded in eternal night and covered in snow and wind.

At this time, Beiyuan's purpose of assembling a million troops outside Longmen Pass was undoubtedly to target the fertile black soil of Liaodong.

"No one can retreat in this battle!

If we retreat, the Northern Yuan cavalry will surely trample upon the Central Plains, repeating the tragedy of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China; if the Northern Yuan retreats, we will be in danger of genocide.

Therefore, we must win this battle, there is no third choice!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

There is no right or wrong, only positions!

After all, Beiyuan is said to be cruel, but Beiyuan is about to face the danger of genocide. If Liaodong cannot be taken over, the outcome will inevitably be a repeat of the tragic situation of the past.

Li Shouxi is cruel. He protects the millions of people in Liaodong.

Once the Northern Iron Horsemen trample upon the Central Plains, they will be like sheep on two legs, and that will be the beginning of the real tragedy.

Therefore, this battle is a battle for survival of both races!

"Old Duke, you take charge of the central army while I meet this grassland war god."

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Knowing that Li Shouxi has broken through the celestial phenomena, and that Li Shouxi has an endless supply of magical weapons in his hands, the Duke of Zhenguo is no longer worried about Li Shouxi's safety.

Otherwise, Li Shouxi would have been taken as a trophy by the barbarian masters long ago.

“Also, the matters concerning ‘Eternal Night’ and ‘Winter’ must be reported to the court promptly.
