My Cultivation Starting from Archery
Chapter 186: Beiliang Reviews the Troops, Wo Long Destroys Wei Country
The Great Desert to the north was stirring, and troops were being called from various tribes.
In response,
The border of the Northwest Three States was also gathering a massive number of soldiers to confront them. Among these, the eldest brother, Lu Ji, had even slain many in several battles, totaling over a thousand enemies, including one General.
Beyond that, there was news regarding the Witch God Sect.
The Witch God Sect had been temporarily pacified for over half a year.
Just over a month ago, it had started targeting Sect disciples for "persecution" again, and it was still unclear who was behind this, even if it had something to do with the "Immortals" in the Luotian Mountain Range, someone should have seen something.
Evil Qi...
Recalling the strange phenomena in the Luotian Mountain Range,
Chen Sansi now felt that it probably also had something to do with the resurgence of Spiritual Energy; it seemed necessary to find time to return to the mountains.
Since returning this time, he had gained some insight and wanted to try to figure out what those Cultivators were up to.
Liangzhou was his home.
Even if it didn't involve the Cultivation World,
incidents like what happened in Yunzhou ten days ago were absolutely not allowed to happen again.
Putting aside his myriad thoughts,
Chen Sansi realized that his daughter in his arms had fallen asleep; he gently placed her back on the bed. He was about to leave when he noticed the girl's small hand still tightly clutching his sleeve, worried that forcibly pulling away might wake her up.
In the end,
he simply sat at the edge of the bed, originally intending to think carefully about the next steps in planning. However, somehow, the fatigue that had accrued since returning home surged up, and he fell asleep sitting there.
When he opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window was already slightly bright.
The little girl was covering him with a tiger skin blanket.
"Daddy's awake?"
Chen Yunxi ran down from the bed and soon returned with hot water and a towel.
"I'm off."
After hastily washing his face, Chen Sansi mounted Qian Xun and headed to the long-missed military camp.
"Thud! Thud!"
It was precisely 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.
After roll call, the soldiers were training. Even from a distance, one could hear the earth-shattering war drums and shoutings of battle.
"General!"
A familiar voice came to his ears.
Xia Cong hurried over: "Have you finished your retreat?"
"Yes."
Chen Sansi looked toward the direction of Hongze Camp: "What about the situation?"
"It's all set up!"
Xia Cong said: "Now all the Main Generals of the Twelve Camps are in Liangzhou, and not long ago, the Sixth Prince also came under the imperial command, just waiting for you to leave retreat to review the troops, and then we set out."
"Waiting for me?"
Chen Sansi knew he had been in retreat for half a year, and even with the fourth brother's help in covering up, it was time to show up.
He learned that the Sixth Prince was currently in the Central Army Tent, so he went there on his own initiative.
...
Central Army Tent.
"General Fang."
The Sixth Prince Cao Huan stood in front of the sand table: "When does General Chen's retreat end? Within this month, after the big review of troops, we must enter the next phase of training, ready for battle on the grassland at any time."
"Just start."
In the wheelchair, the Green Robed Scholar said: "General Chen is at a critical juncture in his retreat; it's best not to disturb him."
"Mm, fine."
Cao Huan ordered to the person next to him, preparing to arrange the specifics.
Just then,
The tent flapped open.
A figure in a White Robe appeared in everyone's view.
"Your Highness, I regret arriving late,"
Chen Sansi said with a fist salute: "We can start the review of the troops now."
"You are General Chen?"
Cao Huan advanced to welcome him: "I have long admired your reputation! In the past two years, even in the West Splendor Palace, the name of the General was often heard. You truly are a great General bestowed upon the Great Sheng Dynasty by heaven."
"Your Highness flatters me."
Chen Sansi responded politely, while taking the opportunity to size him up.
This Sixth Prince was not very old, only in his early forties, but perhaps due to many years of confinement, he already had a head full of white hair, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes revealed a profound weariness.
This is the fate of Royal descendants.
After stepping into the court, there was no way back unless one withdrew at an early stage.
"Since General Chen has ended his retreat, it must mean that there has been a breakthrough?"
In casual conversation, Cao Huan said: "At the beginning of your retreat, it was heard that you were an entry-level practitioner of the Xuanxiang Realm. Have you mastered it by now?"
"By a stroke of luck, I've achieved small achievement."
Chen Sansi calmly spoke the truth.
In fact, according to military regulations,
one must not conceal one's realm.
Mainly, there was also no need to hide it now.
"Small achievement?"
Upon hearing this,
Not only Cao Huan, but also all the Generals in the tent were taken aback.
What the heck?
Small achievement in the Profound Image Realm?!
"Clash clatter——"
The sound of Armour clashing arose.
All the Generals showed their respect.
How long had this man been practicing Martial Arts?
Just a little over two years ago,
During the Selected Point,
If I remember correctly, he was barely at Hua Jin?
In two years,
He soared all the way to the Profound Image Realm from Hua Jin!
What kind of concept is that?
Actually,
Chen Sansi himself was somewhat bewildered; he didn't think it was that astonishing of a feat.
But to outsiders, it was almost inconceivable.
Martial Arts is a path that defies the heavens.
Resources, physique, comprehension...
A multitude of hardships stack up, and each bottleneck halts countless individuals.
Like the toughest stage, Hua Jin.
Eight out of ten Martial Artists will be stuck at this step.
The remaining two tenths, again, get stuck attempting to break through Meridian Passage and the Mysterious Phenomenon. Even geniuses require ample time to cultivate and gradually improve.
But this guy...
Practicing Martial Arts for a total of three years, arrived in Liangzhou barely over two years ago!
To compare people is to infuriate.
In the blink of an eye,
The Selected Point military officer had grown into a fully-fledged campaign Main General.
And let's not forget, he has the Body of Martial Saint.
If this continues,
It's likely he will soon become one of the most prominent figures in the Northern Territory, second only to General Lu Ji.
"Since General Chen has ended his retreat,"
Overcoming their shock,
Cao Huan continued to discuss official matters: "Then let's begin reviewing the troops in two days."
...
In the Great Sheng Dynasty, reviewing the troops carries two significances.
