Everything Is Too Easy After Maxing My Talents

  Chapter 214 The reunion of father and son after many years!

  The land of the western frontier, Zhenxiguan.

   There is a popular doggerel in Northwest China.

  Thousands of miles of yellow sand and thousands of miles of bones, there is an outer wall of Zhenxiguan.

   What I’m talking about is the dangerous terrain of Zhenxiguan, which is like a high wall erected in the northwest courtyard where yellow sand is flying and bones are everywhere, guarding the peace of the people in the western frontier for a long time.

   This also confirms the long history of the West Frontier from the side.

  It can be said that since the disintegration of the Tiandu clan and the civil strife of the Eight Kingdoms, Zhenxiguan has been the patron saint of the people in the western frontier of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

  After the rise of the Qin army, Zhenxi Pass has always been a pass that the Qin army cannot cross.

  It makes the people living in the western frontier feel very safe.

  But in the past few years, Zhenxiguan has almost lost twice.

   This also made the people in the entire western frontier worried.

   Zhenxiguan holds a heavy weight in the hearts of the people in the Northwest, and they have always regarded it as a patron saint.

  Now even Zhenxi Pass almost fell.

  The people don't know what else can keep them safe.

  Li Yueming walked west along the nearest route from the Northland, and met many people from the West Frontier on the way.

   Dismounted to inquire, and found that they were all spontaneously organized teams to transport grain to Zhenxiguan.

  Some of the people pulled donkey carts, while others simply carried them on their shoulders, carrying heavy grains such as wheat, sweet potatoes, and corn, and rushed thousands of miles to Zhenxi Pass, just to feed the troops in Zhenxi Pass.

  A lot of the grain is old grain from last year, which is the property that the common people hide to resist various natural disasters.

   Although Li Yueming was prepared for this, when he witnessed it with his own eyes, he still couldn't bear to look directly at it.

   You must know that the Northwest is not the wealthy Central Plains.

  The food production here is extremely low, and it is not easy for the common people to make a living here. Coupled with the years of war and chaos, every household has tightened their belts, and life is quite difficult.

   But under such circumstances, they sent all the food in their home to Zhenxiguan without anyone forcing them.

  This shows how much they trust Zhenxiguan and Zhenxi Army.

  In fact, Li Yueming wanted to remind them that once the Qin army really launched an all-out attack desperately, it would be impossible to defend against its million-strong army with just one town at Xiguan.

  But it was just thinking about it. If he was really asked to speak, he couldn't speak, and he didn't know how to speak.

   Let’s not say that this thing has not happened yet.

  Even if it really happened.

  What about a group of ordinary people who are powerless?

  There are no eggs under the collapsed nest, and the first unlucky ones are often poor people when disaster strikes.

   Sighing, Li Yueming shook his head.

   Urging the spirit horse to fly straight into the air, without looking back.

  …

   About five days later, Li Yueming arrived under Zhenxi Pass.

  As the first pass in the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the majesty of Zhenxi Pass is unimaginable for normal people.

  From a distance, the entire city wall of Zhenxiguan seems to be completely poured with steel. The black-gray wall rises from the ground, and the city wall hundreds of meters high and tens of meters thick is built in a narrow and dangerous place.

  On the left and right sides of the city wall are majestic cliffs thousands of feet high. The steepness of the cliffs seems to be cut and cast with knives and axes.

  This rare scene in the world was formed after a residual vein of the extremely cold snow mountain broke.

The extremely cold snow mountain range spans thousands of miles, extending from the southwest to the northeast. Zhenxiguan is the tail of the dragon, and the extremely cold snow mountain at Shiwanda Mountain is the dragon head. The entire dragon vein is formed in one go. Only Zhenxiguan has one fracture.

  According to a long-standing legend, this gap was severed by the Emperor Tiandu's sword, and it was this sword that completely severed the last breath of the Zerg ruler.

   Therefore, Zhenxi Pass was also called Renhuang Pass a long time ago to commemorate the great achievements of Renhuang Tiandu.

   All in all, the steep cliff made Zhenxiguan a majestic and dangerous terrain, and also isolated the possibility of large-scale enemy attacks from other directions.

  When Li Yueming saw this majestic checkpoint, he suddenly understood why the Zhenxi Army was able to resist the Qin Army's nearly one million tiger and cardinal troops for several years with an army of more than 300,000 troops.

   Such uncanny natural dangers are indeed a nightmare for all enemy troops who want to attack the city.

  After approaching Zhenxi Pass, Li Yueming quickly saw the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army standing guard. The other party was wearing a suit of exquisitely crafted armor that had been around for some years, with a murderous look on his face.

  Even if they are far apart, Li Yueming can feel the evil spirit on the other party.

   Just a cursory look, even Li Yueming can conclude that the opponent is definitely a veteran who climbed out of the dead.

   The Xingyue Army is already elite enough.

  But in front of the Zhenxi Army, which has been fighting with the Qin Army all year round, it still seems that the spirit of killing is not enough.

   At the same time, several soldiers at the gate of the city also saw Li Yueming riding a tall horse at a glance.

   After signaling him to dismount from a distance.

  Several soldiers with weapons came over with vigilant faces and asked, "Who are you, and why are you here at Xiguan?"

  Li Yueming took out the guide from his pocket.

  He couldn't get this thing himself, after all, he ran out in private without the permission of the court.

   But he has a good master!

  As the nominal supreme commander of the Northland, it is no problem for You Aotian to find a way for Li Yueming.

  After seeing Lu Yin and the virtual identity on Lu Yin, the soldiers of Zhenxi Army standing guard raised their eyebrows a little: "It turns out that he is a brother of Zhenbei Army. Why do you come here? Do you have any specific documents?"

  Li Yueming had already prepared his speech in advance: "General You asked me to see how the friendly forces are doing. If necessary, we may be able to help if we gather together from the Beibei Army!"

  The Zhenbei Army and the Zhenxi Army belong to the frontier army in the northwest.

   Although officially, there is not much communication between them.

   But there is always some friendship in private.

   It is also common for the two armies to communicate with each other.

   Therefore, the soldiers at the gate quickly accepted Li Yueming's excuse.

  Since it is a private visit, it is normal without specific documents.

   After confirming that Li Yueming was not someone with ulterior motives, the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army obviously relaxed a lot: "Please trouble the brothers of the Zhenbei Army to wait a while, this matter must be reported first, and the higher-ups can only release them after nodding their heads!"

   For this, Li Yueming has nothing to do with it.

  The purpose of his coming here is to make money for his father. Before he finds out the specific situation of the Zhenxi Army, it is naturally impossible to easily reveal his true identity.

   One of the soldiers standing guard left, and they should have reported the situation to their superiors.

   Another soldier helped Li Yueming tie the spirit horse to the temporary stables set up under the city wall.

It was also at this time that Li Yueming noticed that there was a long queue of people delivering food at the side gate not far from Zhenxi Pass. For this reason, the Zhenxi Army even posted a notice on the city wall, so that the people don't have to deliver food, and keep the food for themselves. winter.

  But it still can't stop the enthusiasm of the people.

  The food delivery team was packed for several days.

  The Zhenxi army had nothing to do about it. They carried the grain back from thousands of miles away, so they couldn't let them carry it back again!

   Therefore, we can only send people to collect the food of these people.

  In order to repay the enthusiasm of the people, the Zhenxi Army also sent soldiers to cook porridge for the people who delivered the food 24 hours a day at the gate of the city, so as to ensure that they could have a hot mouthful of food when they returned home.

  Li Yueming watched the people coming and going, without saying a word.

  About ten minutes later, the soldiers informed him that the senior officials of the Zhenxi Army had allowed him to operate in Zhenxiguan.

   It's just that the range of his activities is limited to the city.

  The high pass does not allow any unrelated personnel to approach.

   Passing through the thick city wall tens of meters wide, Li Yueming entered Zhenxi City.

  Because Li Yueming's reason for entering the city was to see if there was any place in Zhenxiguan where they could communicate with each other, therefore, a quartermaster of the Zhenxi Army followed him.

   It's just that this is not something worth mentioning to Li Yueming.

  After all, the more difficult part of the plan is to enter the Zhenxi Pass. As long as you enter the Zhenxi Pass, with Li Yueming's personal strength, as long as you don't kill yourself, basically there will be no safety problems.

  A mere quartermaster, naturally cannot restrain him.

   Soon, Li Yueming disappeared under the eyes of the quartermaster in a turn.

  The quartermaster thought he was dazzled.

   After finally recovering, my first reaction was that something was wrong.

   hurriedly ran all the way to report.

  But in the next few days, even if the soldiers in the city searched the Zhenxi Pass, they did not find the slightest trace of Li Yueming.

   These days, it is not uncommon for practitioners to act as spies to go deep behind enemy lines to collect intelligence.

  With mental arithmetic or carelessness, most of the time the party being spied on is hard to guard against.

  If the invading cultivators are strong enough, ordinary troops will not be able to find out even if they know there is an invasion.

   Therefore, in order to deal with this situation, the elite military services of various countries have their own anti-espionage plans.

   Zhenxi Army naturally also has them.

  As long as the soldiers complete their tasks normally, even powerful practitioners can only obtain some rough information.

  Really important information will be hidden.

  After searching around to no avail, Zhenxi Army had no choice but to give up.

   About half a month later, another war broke out between Zhenxi Army and Qin Army.

  In this battle, Li Yueming hid on the edge of the battlefield and witnessed everything. He even saw his cheap father walking on the city wall and patrolling the entire battlefield.

  The combat effectiveness of the Zhenxi Army is really strong!

  Relying on its excellent military strength, the Zhenxi Army fought for three days and three nights in a row against the attack of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, and forcibly pushed back the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops who attacked the city.

  If it is under the same strength, the Qin army may not be able to defeat the Zhenxi army.

You must know that among the twelve troops of the Qin Army with military souls, there are five legions with all the troops on display at Zhenxi Pass. In addition to ordinary soldiers, there are enough troops with military souls deployed by the Qin Army at Zhenxi Pass. Five hundred thousand! !

   This is also because the Qin army was unable to mobilize in full force because of the Tang Dynasty's restraint in the south.

   On the Dazhou side, Zhenxiguan has 300,000 troops, of which only 150,000 are Zhenxi troops with military spirits, and the remaining 150,000 are mixed ordinary troops.

  Under such circumstances, it is not easy to be able to compete with the Qin army even if they occupy the natural danger.

  After the battle, Li Yueming still didn't say a word.

  He roughly estimated the combat effectiveness of the Qin Army and the Zhenxi Army, and then tested the situation of Zhenxi Pass through infinite deduction, and finally came to the conclusion that if the Qin Army really attacked desperately, then Zhenxi Pass would definitely be a disaster.

   After determining this point.

   He didn't waste any time.

  Sneaked into the outskirts of the Zhenxi military camp in a dark and windy field for a month.

  After waiting patiently for a long time, he stopped Li Nanfeng who was about to inspect the city wall in the middle of the night.

  Looking at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Nanfeng subconsciously pulled out the sword from his waist, but after carefully looking at Li Yueming's appearance, he was stunned, pursing his lips for a long while, not knowing what to say.

  Li Yueming glanced around, gestured for silence, and immediately brought Li Nanfeng to the camp not far away.

  After confirming that there was no one around, Li Yueming said, "Father, come with me!"

  Li Nanfeng hasn't turned his head yet.

  Hearing Li Yueming's words, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes. After finally regaining consciousness and making sure it wasn't a hallucination, he said in a trembling voice, "Son, is that you?"

  Li Yueming nodded.

  Father and son have not seen each other for more than ten years.

  Since Li Yueming left home, Li Nanfeng returned to the army not long after.

  Li Ruxing and Li Ruyue are at the Practitioner Academy anyway.

   After ten days and a half a month, we can meet each other several times.

  But Li Nanfeng has been stationed at Zhenxiguan, afraid of the court and Zhou Tianzi, he dare not come back even during the holidays.

   Both father and son communicated through letters.

   Now that they suddenly met each other, Li Nanfeng didn't even recognize Li Yueming immediately.

  My son has grown taller.

  The person is also very handsome.

   His eyebrows vaguely still look like when he was a teenager.

  After confirming that the young man in front of him was really his son, Li Nanfeng's voice couldn't help but trembled even more, and he said tremblingly, "Why are you here? There are Qin troops everywhere outside Zhenxiguan, it's very dangerous!"

  Li Yueming smiled and said: "Father, I have grown up a long time ago. Now I am not necessarily weaker than you, so don't underestimate people!"

  Li Nanfeng was startled, and subconsciously wanted to laugh out loud.

  But after thinking about it, I remembered that I am still in the military camp at the moment, so it is not appropriate to make a loud announcement.

   I could only scratch my head in embarrassment and said: "Don't talk about this, it's not convenient here, wait for Dad to deal with the affairs in the army, and buy you a drink after he frees up his hands!"

  Li Yueming nodded.

   Communication between men will be more relaxed with more alcohol.

   Besides, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and Li Yueming really wants to sit down and have a good chat with his cheap dad.

  After making an appointment with the time and place, Li Nanfeng returned to the army.

  As a senior general of the Zhenxi Army, Li Nanfeng has a regular schedule every day, and his sudden disappearance may cause turmoil in the entire army.

  If you want to leave the defense line, you must explain clearly to the people under you.

   It took about an hour or less.

  Li Nanfeng appeared in front of Li Yueming with several jars of fine wine and some appetizers.

   It was also at this moment that Li Yueming discovered that compared with more than ten years ago, there were several more hideous scars on his father's body. I don't know whether it was because of time or injuries, and his originally straight back was a little bent.

  Li Yueming's mood was extremely complicated, and he was even more thankful that he came in time, otherwise, if it was delayed for a few more years, whether Li Nanfeng's body could still bear it would be a problem.
