Year 626.
In the Eastern Military Camp of Youzhou.
This place was close to the grassland, and the weather was cold. The cold wind whistled and snowflakes floated in the sky.
In the military camp on the grassland, sentries were on duty, and infantrymen and cavalrymen were lined up in battle formations. They did not complain even if they had to crawl in the snow and ice.
In the commander's tent.
A young man in armor was sitting on a stool with his hands on his knees. He was resting with his eyes closed.
"Your Highness, the weather is too cold. We didn't prepare much when we came here. I used my discarded clothes to light a pot of fire.”
Baiqi quickly walked into the tent and placed the warm brazier on the ground.
However, just as he put it down, the young man closed his eyes and picked up a cup of water to extinguish the fire.
"This…"
Baiqi was stunned, but considering Li Yu's temperament and the fact that generals and soldiers had to share weal and woe, he didn't say anything.
After a moment of silence, Bai Qi breathed on his hand and asked,"Your Highness, Youzhou is bitter and cold. Have you ever missed the warmth and prosperity of Chang 'an?”
"Chang 'an?"
The young man closed his eyes and paused for a moment before continuing,"I've been in Youzhou for ten years. I was only six years old when I came here. How could I still remember what Chang 'an looked like?”
After saying that, the young man recalled the past.
His name was Li Yu.
He was not from this world, but had transmigrated to the Great Tang Dynasty and became one of Li Shiming's sons.
However, Li Shiming's other sons were similar to him. Even the brothers would fight with each other, and even their maternal families would fight with each other.
However, although Li Shiming's sons were fighting amongst themselves, they still reached a consensus on one important matter.
That was to kick out Li Yuxian, who was only six years old and did not have the support of a matriarchal aristocratic family. He would become the first loser to be eliminated, and the fewer enemies he could have, the better.
Therefore, Li Shiming's sons worked together with the aristocratic families of the matriarchs to make all kinds of suggestions in the imperial court. They dug holes and set traps in the imperial court to tarnish Li Yu's reputation. In the end, Li Yu's reputation became worse and worse until he was demoted to Youzhou by Li Shiming. This lasted for ten years.
Youzhou was one of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. It was barren and cold, and there were always pagans going south to graze grass. It was a very dangerous place.
The officials of Youzhou didn't dare to offend the aristocratic families of Chang 'an, so they all excluded him and didn't allow him to stay in Youzhou City. Instead, they let him stay in the camp in the east and face the danger of the Turkic invasion at all times.
However, Li Yu managed to survive these ten years safely by relying on the check-in system he was bound to.
It was noon.
A voice immediately sounded in Li Yu's mind.
Congratulations to the host for signing in for the 3650th day. The host's luck this year is quite good and has received the following rewards: Emperor's Imperial Guards Cavalry x100! Xing Tian's blood x1!
Hearing the voice in his mind, Li Yu opened his eyes and murmured,"Another hundred Imperial Cavalry…after ten years, I've finally gathered a thousand.”
Every year, the system would give out a reward. Apart from weapons and strength, there was also the reward of Bai Qi as a general and a soldier.
The imperial guards cavalry was an extremely powerful army. They wore infantry armor and rode on tall horses that were similarly armored. They held Mo knives and bone buds that could break armor. They were so powerful that it made people tremble in fear.
Each of these Imperial Cavalry was equivalent to the 18 Cavalrymen of Yanyun, and their combat power was extremely terrifying.
It wasn't just the cavalry. The reward that Li Yu valued the most was the Xingtian's blood.
Xing Tian's blood came from the blood of the ancient War God Xing Tian. It could grant the host even greater strength, as well as endless stamina, and a body that could quickly recover from injuries.
Do you wish to use Xing Tian's blood?
"Use the blood of Xingtian immediately."
Li Yu ordered.
Received.
In the next second, Xingtian's blood was directly applied to Li Yu's body, causing him to feel an extremely powerful force in his body, as well as an uncontrollable desire to fight.
The host's current information is as follows.

[New mission: Kill 100,000 enemies.]
After completing the mission, the host will unlock the advanced version of the system. At that time, the host will receive a reward every week.
"Who should we go to to gather these 100,000 people?。”
Li Yu pondered.
The Great Tang was currently unstable.
On one hand, Li Shimin couldn't hold it in anymore. He killed his brother at Xuanwu Sect and forced his father to abdicate.
On the other hand, the Turkic Steppe had amassed enough strength and was sharpening its blades in preparation to invade the Great Tang.
Li Yu was very familiar with this period of history.
In order to invade, Jie Li Khan ordered the cavalry of Ba Ye Gu tribe and Tong Luo tribe to besiege Wu City and restrain Cheng Zhijie, Xu Shiji, Chai Shao and Qu Tutong's main Tang army.
Jie Li Khan himself, together with his younger brother Tuli Khan and the leader of Tiele, Qibi Heli, led 200,000 troops southward, heading straight for Chang 'an City.
Along the way, they led 200,000 people to attack cities and break through the defense line of Youzhou Province. After that, they arrived at Weishui River.
In the end, Li Shimin would use the Wei River alliance to make the Turks retreat.
This was only a short passage in the annals of history. It recorded how many cities had been conquered by the Turks, how many people had been slaughtered, humiliated, and how much wealth had been plundered.
This was a tragedy and humiliation.
Li Yu was now in Youzhou. Although he was demoted here, he was still a prince in name and had the obligation to protect Youzhou.
Li Yu would never allow the Turks to run amok in Youzhou.
However, these Turks were extremely crafty, and the history books had only briefly mentioned the Turkic invasion. They did not specify which direction they had entered Youzhou from, nor did they specify the date or time, so it would be quite troublesome to find them.
Just as he was thinking.
A scout quickly rushed into the tent, knelt on one knee, cupped his hands, and reported,""Your Highness, according to the scouts we sent out, 200,000 troops led by Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan have entered from the west of Youzhou. Among them, 100,000 of them have already headed for Youzhou City!”
"Your Highness, these Turks are disgusting. I think they know we're training in the east, so they came from the west. They want to take Youzhou City as fast as possible with the advantage of almost all of them being cavalrymen!”
Bai Qi stood up and said angrily.
"Hehe, it's not that easy to take Youzhou.”
Li Yu turned to Bai Qi and ordered,"Let the whole army finish their training and set off for Youzhou City at once!”
"Yes, sir!"
Baiqi cupped his hands and left.
