Chapter 613: Eternal Faith
"The Huns have invaded, Wenyuan, tell me how many of them are capable of fighting?"
Chen Gong was actually very familiar with the number of soldiers in Bingzhou. After all, the army has always been a big deal for a state.
Bingzhou only has 100,000 regular troops. This kind of talk can just be taken as a joke. Bingzhou is the front line against the Hu people.
Chen Gong was very clear about the total number, but he was not sure how many of them were capable of fighting, or in other words, in the eyes of these generals, which soldiers were considered capable of fighting.
"The Huns invaded?" Cao Xing looked at Chen Gong in confusion. The Huns' invasion was such a ridiculous thing, but they actually called everyone to a meeting. What the hell was Chen Gong doing to the people's livelihood?
The Huns are just a bunch of them. Cao Xing could defeat them even with all the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, so why would he call so many people?
"The Northern Xiongnu, the inheritors of the Xiongnu orthodoxy, have invaded. The general has ordered the Bingzhou Army to march north!"
The hall was suddenly silent; you could hear a pin drop.
“Bang!”
The table was overturned by Zhang Liao who stood up suddenly, and everyone looked at Chen Gong with a serious expression.
The Northern Huns, the Hun Empire, such a distant yet serious topic.
"Gongtai, have you known this a long time ago?" Hu Zhao slowly stood up and asked.
"Yes! This is also what the general and the prime minister meant!" Chen Gong nodded calmly. "So, now, Wenyuan, how many soldiers can Bingzhou have!"
"Two hundred thousand! At least two hundred thousand wolf riders!" Zhang Liao's face was as pale as water.
"Is that all?" Chen Gong frowned. This number was totally different from what he expected.
"Two hundred thousand imperial guards!" Zhang Liao's deep voice reached Chen Gong's ears.
Chen Gong suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Liao with horror. This number was absolutely impossible.
"Impossible, there are definitely not so many guards in Bingzhou!"
Chen Gong directly denied it, saying that there had not been any major wars in the past five years, and that the number was just the amount accumulated five years ago.
If there were so many imperial guards, Ding Yuan would definitely not have died, and the situation in the battle of Hulao Pass would have been reversed .
"There wasn't any yesterday, but there will be one soon!" Zhang Liao's deep voice was filled with indelible hatred.
Their family was one of the ones persecuted by the Huns back then, and even their entire family was forced to change their surnames to avoid disaster.
For Zhang Liao, the Northern Huns not only represented national hatred, but also a family feud that had lasted for hundreds of years.
"Military soul? Impossible. The general said that the Han Dynasty only has four military souls !"
"The last wish of the heroes of the Great Wall?"
Chen Gong activated his spiritual talent and quickly found out the truth of the matter.
"Yes, this is the secret of my Bingzhou, and also the secret of the border. Only Wen Hou, me, and Gong Zheng know it, and it has been passed down from generation to generation."
A belief that has been passed down from the Qin Dynasty and has been guarded through the ages.
After Lu Bu broke through the boundary, he became aware of the existence of this thing, but he never took any action.
Because he was confident that he could suppress all the Hu people and there was no need to disturb these heroic spirits.
It can also be regarded as leaving enough power to protect the border counties for future generations.
The eternal belief comes from the soldiers who fought on the frontier from generation to generation, and their obsession was deep when they died.
The beliefs passed down by countless soldiers guarding the border continue to echo those soldiers guarding the border.
But the moment Chen Gong mentioned the Northern Huns, Zhang Liao felt that these eternal beliefs were calling him.
For no reason, Zhang Liao felt that this was definitely the last chance to destroy the Northern Huns, and he should activate these beliefs.
“I will do it!”
Zhang Liao flicked his cloak and strode out of the hall, heading towards the place of inheritance.
Lu Bu once said that it would be troublesome to forcibly absorb the body without breaking through the realm, but now he doesn't care.
He can definitely do it.
Zhang Liao disappeared, but the remaining generals were not idle either.
Cao Xing, Hao Meng, Song Xian and others directly pulled out all the qualified wolf riders.
Lined up in front of Jiuyuan City, more than 200,000 wolf riders naturally formed a battle formation.
Zhang Liao descended from the sky with his family's weapon, flashing with golden and black light.
"war!"
Without any nonsense, Zhang Liao directly sprinkled the black and golden light on his body to all the wolf riders waiting in formation.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Along with the sound of iron swords between heaven and earth, the past of the soldiers who once guarded the border appeared in the eyes of every soldier.
The fighting spirit rose to the sky, not a single soldier retreated, and the national hatred and family feuds echoed perfectly with the eternal beliefs.
All the light was absorbed by the wolf riders. Just as Zhang Liao said, more than 200,000 wolf riders of the Imperial Guard appeared.
"You guys go, someone has to stay behind after all!" Hu Zhao sighed.
If there is an attack, there must be a defense. Although he also wants to go north to participate in this battle of the century, someone has to stay behind.
"Please!" Chen Gong glanced at Hu Zhao.
Staying behind means giving up all achievements, and also means giving up many, many potential things.
For this wise man who made his living by teaching, this step of concession is more than just giving up glory.
It also means that this wise man gave up his beliefs and made way for national hatred.
"Set off!"
"Any plans?" Zhang Liao tried hard to resist the impact of the eternal belief on himself. Although this power was good, being reckless was not his style. He turned his head with difficulty and asked Chen Gong.
"No need for planning, no need to dodge, just kill all the Hu people you meet. I believe those Huns will notice us soon." Chen Gong said coldly.
He had already seen that something was wrong with Zhang Liao, and gave him the most direct advice.
"good!"
Zhang Liao did not doubt him, nodded directly, and gave up the resistance.
As long as the eternal beliefs are released, they will eventually be exhausted.
But before it is completely consumed, he can only be controlled by the eternal belief and become a machine for killing the Hu people.
The eternal belief is that no matter who you are, as long as you are not Han, you can be killed.
Of course, Chen Gong was not a devil. He sent Cao Xing and others in advance to notify those tribes that were close to the Han Dynasty and had good relations with the Han Dynasty to stay away.
As for those ignorant tribes, just kill them. They are either Han or Hu. No neutral forces will be allowed to appear on the grassland in the future.
"The two hundred thousand guards will definitely draw the attention of the main force of the Northern Huns. The next things will be left to others!" Chen Gong thought silently in his heart.
Since we have to fight, we should fight thoroughly and wipe the Northern Huns off the map .
Not only must we defeat the Northern Huns, but we must also eradicate them at their roots. We must find out and kill all the royal tribes of the Northern Huns and completely wipe out the Northern Huns from the root.
In order to achieve this goal, there must be a force that can firmly contain the main force of the Northern Huns and create opportunities for other forces to encircle them.
And Bingzhou is the rightful target.
