The father and son filled their cups with wine and drank a mouthful.

Li Nanfeng ate a few mouthfuls of food and suppressed the alcohol in his stomach. He was the first to speak, “Son, what are you doing here in the West Garrison Fortress?”

Li Yueming looked at his father who was covered in wounds and sighed,””You know why I’m here. Based on the current situation, the Western Garrison Fortress will definitely not be able to hold on!”

Li Nanfeng didn’t say anything. He just picked up his chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls of food.

In fact, as the core general of the West Garrison Army, how could Li Nanfeng not understand the current situation of the West Garrison Pass?

The six states were about to begin their struggle for hegemony. Compared to the other countries, the Great Zhou’s national strength was at a weaker level among the six states.

And after several rounds of reform, the State of Qin’s national strength was at an unprecedentedly powerful level.

Under such circumstances, how could the West Garrison Fortress stop the Qin army?

Li Nanfeng didn’t say anything, but he didn’t refute either.

After taking a sip of wine, Li Yueming continued,””Dad, come with me to Northern Ice River Town. I’ve already brought Big Sister and Second Sister over. The Li family is also moving to Northern Ice River Town. If everything goes well, our family will be able to celebrate the new year together tomorrow!”

Li Nanfeng smiled.””Son, do you understand your father?”

This time, it was Li Yueming’s turn to be silent.

Did he understand his father?

This question seemed to have hit a blind spot in his knowledge.

He could only say that perhaps…

After so many years of not seeing each other, Li Nanfeng was only a vague shadow in Li Yueming’s mind.

If you say that you have a lot of understanding that you are definitely lying.

However, it would be a lie to say that he didn’t know anything about her at all.

Li Nanfeng and You Aotian were the same kind of people.

A pure soldier.

Thinking of this, Li Yue opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she only sighed softly.

He knew that his trip here was probably in vain.

At this moment, under the dim candlelight, Li Nanfeng’s slightly hunched body suddenly straightened up.

He stood up from the ground and walked to the broken door of the wooden house. He reached out and pushed the door open. Looking at the white snow drifting in the night under the bleak west wind, he said with a serious expression,” I, Li Nanfeng, joined the army when I was 12 years old. I went into battle when I was 18 years old. I’ve fought on the battlefield for more than 50 years, and 30 of them have been spent in this desolate city far away from human habitation…

“I was born and raised in the western frontier, and I became famous there.

Naturally, I have to shed the last drop of blood for the western frontier, just

like your grandfather and the seniors ot the Divine Martial Army who guarded this checkpoint for countless years!”

From the side, Li Yueming could see the light in Li Nanfeng’s eyes.

It was glory, fire, blood, and everything Li Nanfeng had.

Li Yueming silently raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp. His expression gradually became solemn.”But the emperor, the imperial court, and the people of the Central Plains won’t think that way. The situation in West Garrison Pass is so urgent, but the emperor is still unwilling to mobilize the Dragon Tiger Army to help. Isn’t he trying to make the West Garrison Army bleed to the last drop?”

“So what?” Li Nanfeng laughed. The Western Garrison Army has more than 300,000 people, and 90% of them are native to the western frontier. They have never guarded the Great Zhou, nor are they suitable for the people of the Central Plains. They are only guarding the people of the western frontier…”

‘ For so many years, the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty have never truly regarded the people of the northwest as their own people. They can choose not to cherish us, but we must cherish us, because the Western Garrison Army has never been loyal to the Zhou Dynasty, but to the people of the Great Qian

Dynasty.”

This was actually a taboo secret of the Great Zhou Imperial Court.

Under normal circumstances, there was no need to talk about Li Nanfeng.

Even the people in the western frontier rarely mentioned it.

The Western Garrison Army was not a direct descendant of the Great Zhou emperor. They were the descendants of the Great Qian Divine Martial Army that was destroyed by the Great Zhou during its heyday after the Tiandu Clan disintegrated.

10,000 years ago, the Tiandu Dynasty had just disintegrated, leaving behind a total of nine sub-dynasties. In the following years, these nine sub-dynasties were constantly in war and annexed each other.

More than five thousand years ago, the Great Qian Dynasty, one of the Nine Son Dynasties, was destroyed by the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was at its peak, and the foreign tribes on the grassland beyond the Great Wall. Thousands of members of the royal family of the Great Qian Dynasty were kidnapped by the barbarians on the grassland beyond the Great Wall. Most of them committed suicide because they couldn’t bear the humiliation.

The Divine Martial Army that guarded the Human Emperor Pass back then was in a dangerous terrain.

Neither the Great Zhou nor the grasslands beyond the Great Wall could bite off this hard bone.

In the end, the helpless grasslands and Great Zhou could only use the tactic of surrounding without attacking, cutting off water and food.

Seeing that the situation was over.

The Divine Martial Army had no choice but to surrender to the Great Zhou.

Not long after, it was renamed the West Garrison Army, and the Human Emperor Pass was renamed the West Garrison Pass.

Ever since then, this matter had been deliberately played down by the Zhou Dynasty.

When the lockdown was at its strictest, even if someone in the western frontier mentioned it, they would be arrested by the imperial guards who heard the news.

That’s why.

Until now, the people of the northwest were deeply afraid of this matter. However, no matter how tight the blockade was on the surface, it could not change the flow of facts.

The northwest and the northwest did not have a high degree of recognition for the Great Zhou.

Of course, the Great Zhou did not have a high sense of recognition for the Northern Lands and the western frontier. Otherwise, the Central Plains people would have always called the people of the two northwestern regions the Northwest Barbarians..
