In Liang Jin's plan, he wanted to secretly establish an army in Sihai City, and transfer all the grain, grass and baggage to Sihai City, which would be more convenient for future battles, and if they were attacked by Pang Lu again, they could respond to each other, so as to increase the probability of winning the battle.

This kind of secret migration will be slow and secretive, if the outside forces find clues, the recruits of Sihai City will not be strange soldiers, and perhaps at some convenience, they will become the blades of the Daming Caves and the Qin army. Therefore, in order to convince the outside world that Sihai City is just a temporary stronghold in Wohua Mountain, all the commanders are not allowed to go to Sihai City after the epidemic situation in Sihai City is stabilized, and they only rely on the mediation of some potential generals and captains to grasp the progress of treatment.

Zuo Shuangli and Right Yi were often secretly dispatched out by Liang Jin, and they were the main generals of Sihai City's military training, these two people have been by Liang Jin's side for many years, and it can be said that they are extremely familiar with Liang Jin's training mode, and as long as there is no accident, the first batch of soldiers in Sihai City will be able to participate in the task soon, and the pressure on Liang Jin's generals will be weakened.

In addition, after several previous wars, now the generals in Liang Jin's troops have changed a large part, Luo Fengzhi and Liu Guan died, Chao Long betrayed, Qiao Ren fled, Yue Zhiyan was nowhere to be found, and Meng Lang's barracks were no longer lost in the northern mountains and forests, if there was no one to replace the vacancies in these positions, there would be certain problems in the march.

In such an emergency, several people discussed and selected a few people to be promoted, as the new deputy generals of each battalion, Lin Han, Chu Hong, and Meng Lang's deputy generals have all died, so their barracks have been promoted to two deputy generals, most of them are at the sixth-stage level, but if you want to gain a firm foothold in the battle of generals, you must have the martial arts strength of the seven-stage person, and the ability to deal with things that is not weaker than those old generals. In Liang Jin's resolution, all the newly promoted lieutenants took turns to go to Sihai City to help the local people treat, which can be regarded as a kind of tempering.

On this day, Liang Jin once again convened the commanders to discuss the meeting, but the content of this meeting was no longer limited to the army, but the movement of external forces.

"You should have heard the news from the Dark Vulture, the situation in the capital of the Qin Dynasty has changed abruptly, since the last time the Great Prince Qiuling's birthday gift caused the Qin Emperor to be furious, Qiuling has lost the right to fight for the prince. And the second prince has died in many years, the third prince was killed by Jiang Ming in the Jiufu Alliance State, and the fourth prince was demoted to Gangneung County two years ago and never returned to the capital, so now there are only three princes left in the capital to compete for that position. ”

Meng Lang pondered: "The Seventh Prince Qiu Yuan, the Eighth Prince Qiu Zeng, and the Eleventh Prince Qiu Che, these three should have their own means. But as far as I know, Qiu Zeng is short-sighted, if it weren't for his mother's family's strong financial resources and ability to help him do a lot of things, otherwise he would not be as good as Qiu Ling. Although Qiu Che has his own intelligence and strategy, after all, he is only a teenager, and he is not comparable to Qiu Yuan at all. Qiu Yuan is indeed a man of kings, with a grand vision, poetry and books, and there are not a few people in the court who support him, there are many talents under his command, and I heard that every year he recruits hundreds of people from all over the world as staff. ”

Luo Hu said: "Qiu Yuan is indeed a talent, and he is also the most popular in the mouths of officials everywhere except Qiu Jue. Not long ago, he ordered Chenggi to suppress the bandits and sweep away the bandits around the capital, which made the people applaud, thinking that it would be much better for him to be the new Qin Emperor.

Jiang Ming was puzzled: "Why do we pay attention to these things? It stands to reason that the capital of the Qin Dynasty is far away from us, and no matter which prince becomes the emperor, it doesn't seem to have a great impact on Wohua Mountain." ”

Liang Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, and sighed in a low voice: "How can it be that it has no impact, not to mention what kind of attitude the new Qin Emperor will take towards Wohua Mountain, the five of us are also from the Qin Dynasty, although the Qin Emperor did not give us the living environment we want, but this can be regarded as our country." ”

Chu Hong then said: "Emperor Qin is mediocre, the national strength is weak, and the people are suffering, which has caused countless bandits, and the people are not happy. But Rao is so, we still hope that the Qin Dynasty can have a Ming lord to lead the country, and every city can become like the current Jiaozhi City. ”

Lin Han looked at Jiang Ming and said: "You are not from the Qin Dynasty, naturally you will not have this kind of feelings, although it can be said that the world is so big that you can be a home, but there are also opposing words that the skin does not have hair, and what we are loyal to is only this land." Although Wohua Mountain has a good reputation, it is only one force after all, and it is not enough to affect the territory of the entire Qin Dynasty, what we hope is that the Qin Dynasty can be exchanged for the Ming Lord, and we don't need to do such a small thing to save the people. ”

"If the skin doesn't exist, the hair will be attached?"

Jiang Ming secretly muttered these words on his lips, and felt that this war suddenly became heavy, these people never thought of using force to conquer the Qin Dynasty, so as to make the whole country live a better life, they just wanted to do what they could through their own abilities, which is what the ancient book said "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband".

"My country is the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, and my hometown is Huangshi Town, Xingyu Prefecture. Jiang Ming's mind secretly flashed these words, he actually began to realize that his selfishness never allowed him to keep the idea of serving the country and the people, the experience of being an orphan when he was a child made him understand that he could only survive on his own, and it had no impact on which country he lived in, he still had to take care of his own life, or there were scenes of people eating people, and there would be a painful and humiliating past.

Mu Ya once said that if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will dominate the world.

This sentence is the royal road for him, with himself as the core, with himself as the own, when he is poor, he bears the wind, frost, rain and snow alone, and when he is rich, he faces the worship of the world alone, which should be him.

However, why did his indestructible thoughts begin to waver in the words of Lin Han and the others, could it be that he was really wrong?

Selfishness and grace are not mutually exclusive, and they can coexist. Even if they are in the bandits' den, they still hope that their country will be clear, and they still hope that the people of their country will live and work in peace and contentment, which is their demeanor.

Jiang Ming understood a little. At the same time, I began to feel uneasy.

The current Wohua Mountain is fortunate to only be fighting with the army of the Qin Dynasty, if one day Wohua Mountain grows stronger and starts to attack the Nine Provinces Alliance State, what will he do?

All the chivalry and demeanor returned to the point of selfishness, the country and the people were left behind, Jiang Ming began to worry about those who knew each other, Xiao Gao and Zhong Hai were also roaming in the Nine Provinces Alliance, Uncle Mu's grave was also buried on the mound outside Yeyang City, the kindness and solicitation shown by those black-clothed teeth, Ren Jianying, who had a passionate heart, the second lion and tiger general of Cambrian Pass, and the Cambrian Pass guard general Gao Zhuxu who led Shen Yiwei out of the tiger's den and gave him great help, they are all worthy of him to stand up.

"That's what I really think. ”

Jiang Ming smiled faintly and fell silent.

Lin Han said: "If one day, one of us can reach the status realm, then it will be enough to affect the pattern of the Qin Dynasty, maybe this chaos can be improved in a very short time." ”

Meng Lang smiled and said: "How can it be so easy, the status realm is not an invincible existence, the Qin Dynasty is subject to the Zhu Tianye Cultivation Alliance, and the Zhu Tianye Empire Alliance should also participate, after all, the Qin Dynasty has a population of tens of millions, if the foundation of the people is greatly damaged, there will be fewer martial arts powerhouses born, and those who control it will not do things." ”

Chu Hong sneered and said, "You heard this from the storyteller, right?" I've heard of the Cultivation Alliance, but I've never heard of any Imperial Alliance, maybe those people made it up." ”

Meng Lang clenched his fists unconvinced, and snorted lightly: "Even if this is fake, then you should have all heard of another heard, there is a powerful person hidden in the capital of the Qin Dynasty, perhaps the guardian of the Qiu clan. ”

Lin Han smiled faintly and said, "Where did I hear this, I still haven't heard of it." "Book bar

Meng Lang said: "Xiao Zhu is a storyteller. ”

"It's still a storytelling!" Luo Hu and the others looked at each other.

Jiang Ming said: "If I remember correctly, there was a prosperous history in the Nine Provinces Alliance a hundred years ago, when the black-clothed tooth catcher once swept through many countries in Zhu Tianye, although the number of black-clothed teeth never exceeded 10,000, but at that time, the thirteen black-clothed tooth catchers were famous, and one of them was called 'Dark Tooth', which broke the rules of the cultivation alliance several times in succession and killed dozens of strong people. ”

Liang Jin said: "I have also heard of this story, the thirteen black-clothed tooth hunting tribes have almost led an era, but they are not ordinary warriors, but warriors with souls, when the desolate clan came to attack, the dark fangs bore the brunt of the decisive battle with the desolate clan powerhouse, and the last 500 people were wiped out, creating a lot of time for Zhu Tianye's other strong people to come." It was only later that the black-clothed tooth catcher was targeted by the alien race, and there were hardly a few strong people left. ”

The story is always embarrassing, when the alien invasion can abandon Xiaoli to fight the great evil, the black-clothed tooth catcher does have an indelible reputation. The backbone of the Nine Governments Alliance has been lost, and the national strength has naturally begun to decline, but in more than ten years, the original Nine Governments Alliance's vast territory has been seriously shrunk, and now less than one-tenth remains.

Jiang Ming said: "I'm not here to brag about how powerful my country is, the Nine Provinces Alliance has a longer history than the Qin Dynasty, but the two countries have not had a strong status in these years, the two countries have been at war since the expansion of the Nine Provinces Alliance, if there is a strong person in the Qin Dynasty, how can he not seek revenge with a sword and halberd? Where will the Nine Provinces Alliance be stable for so long?" Moreover, the Qin Dynasty is now in serious trouble, if the Qin Dynasty has a strong position in the town, if he wants to come to Wohua Mountain and Daming Caves, even the barbarians will not be so blatantly raised troops. ”

Luo Hu said: "What you say is very true, after all, the region we are in has not appeared in a hundred years since there has been a strong person, and it is unlikely that a hidden strong person will suddenly appear. Haha!"

After laughing, Liang Jin smiled and said, "Actually, the politics of the Qin Dynasty are too far away from us after all, and the reason why I mention these today is to draw one thing." Originally, the news from the vulture had been confirmed, but I don't know whether to say it or not, because it is related to the methods of the Seventh Emperor Akigaki. ”

"By what means?" asked everyone.

Liang Jin pondered for a moment and said: "The news that we occupy Jiaozhi City has long been spreading, and at this time it has spread to the capital, Qiu Yuan has an opportunity, he seems to be intending to restrict Qiu Jue's development in Jiangling County, so he asked Emperor Qin to let the generalissimo of the eastern soldiers and horses, Meng Jianyan, come to the Jiaozhi region, although it cannot exterminate the mountain bandits in one step, but it can curb the development of Wohua Mountain." Meng Jianyan thought that he would arrive in Jiaozhi City in two or three days, and maybe Yangtafeng's position would change at that time. ”

Lin Han said worriedly: "Every generalissimo of soldiers and horses has the strength of the martial arts of the ninth rank, Meng Jianyan's arrival will definitely cause an uproar, Yangtafeng is now allied with us, but outsiders seem to be in opposition to us, Meng Jianyan's pressure is still more than that of Pang Lu, I am afraid that Yangtafeng will temporarily defect and cause us great trouble." ”

Luo Hu said: "I don't think so, every martial arts master of the ninth rank has a face, and they generally don't take action in person, just like the mountain master, it is taboo to act out of bounds." The last time Yu Kongsang captured the barbarian commander Gan Yaliu, although it was a special case, Yu Kongsang never participated in the war with the Nanban after that. After all, Meng Jianyan is a ninth-rank person, he shouldn't let go of his subordinates to deal with a few, and the mountain master is watching the things behind, if we lose it here, the root of Wohua Mountain will be lost five or six out of ten. ”

"Nine-stage person?" Chu Hong made a bow drawing movement in his hand, and smiled fearlessly: "Even if Meng Jianyan is in person, we won't be too afraid of him now, Hanzi has reached the half-step nine-stage, and it shouldn't be a problem to block Meng Jianyan in front of a few moves, and the four of you together, you will definitely be able to hold Meng Jianyan for a while, and when I pull the longbow, the seven empty arrows will shoot him out of a hole." ”

Jiang Ming secretly patted Chu Hong's back and said in a low voice: "Do you really want to tell the people of the world that you have shot a strong person head-on? Or are you already confident in your own strength to this extent?"

Chu Hong smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and said, "Naturally, I'm not so confident, but if I'm forced to that extent, maybe I can give it a try." ”

Liang Jin beckoned and said, "Forget it, you have already caused a lot of trouble a few days ago, but don't deliberately look for things anymore, don't use the last resort until you have to." You have already taken one of the three arrows in the barracks, and if you let anyone know the horror of the Seven Empty Arrows, I am afraid that they will come here, and we will not have a good life. ”

Chu Hong didn't speak again, but secretly said in his heart: "Strength is really a hard injury, Ziyu must be tired of something these days, although she doesn't say it, I can feel it." The matter of the Mixed Yuan Sect is definitely not something that a martial arts master can solve, if I can break through the ninth rank, maybe I can help her. ”

Lin Han thought for a while, and suddenly said: "By the way, I went to count the medicinal materials shipped to Sihai City this morning, and found that the manpower of the Zhou family has increased significantly in the past two days, and the secret agent also found that many people in the Zhou house began to come and go frequently, I don't know if it is related to the matter of Meng Zhiyan." ”

Liang Jin said: "The Zhou family has always been low-key, some time ago, the three overlord families controlled the entire Jiaozhi City, and they have been shrinking to the north corner of the city, and they have only begun to expand the medicinal herb business in the last few months. The Zhou family has never made friends with officials, and Meng Jianyan's status is respected, so how can the Zhou family have any connection?"

Lin Han said: "This is not true, after all, the status that the Zhou family can obtain now is given by Yangtafeng, Yangtafeng is the city lord of Jiaozhi City, and it was personally ordered by the Qin Dynasty, and the Zhou family can be regarded as befriending officials, so it seems that things are not static." The Zhou family has so many moves at this time, maybe it has some connection with Meng Jianyan, and maybe this Zhou family, which has always been low-key, also has a secret relationship with the generalissimo of the eastern soldiers and horses. ”

Luo Hu said: "Your idea is very bold, if Zhou Kaiwei, Zhou Rongdu and Meng Jianyan are inextricably linked, it is very likely that we and Yangtafeng will also fall into crisis, but if the martial arts master next to Yangtafeng also has different intentions, we will really have to abandon the city and flee." ”

Meng Lang said: "It is not necessary to abandon the city at present, we are still fully prepared, although we can drag the martial arts masters of the ninth rank in a short period of time, but after all, it is impossible to be Meng Jianyan's opponent, rather than a moth to fight the fire, it is better to retreat as soon as it is touched, which can not only avoid a lot of trouble, but also retain strength to a greater extent." ”

Lin Han smiled: "It's really not easy to finally hear you say something useful today." ”

"What do you mean it's not easy, am I so absurd?" Meng Lang shrugged helplessly with a bitter face.

Chu Hong mended the knife and said: "Recently, I seem to see that you are very close to the young lady of the Yan family, these days you are a little confused, should you remind me, you are the fifth commander of Wohua Mountain?"

"How do you know?" Meng Lang watched several people laugh together, and knew that they were intentionally peeping, and waved his hand: "It's really shameless, you can still do this kind of thing, I and that young lady are sincere, don't always hold the psychology of watching the excitement, okay?"

"Okay, the prodigal son of the world!" Luo Hu patted Meng Lang's shoulder, and he was also very clear about his habit of messing with flowers and grass, anyway, he would not be difficult for others, everything was based on autonomy and voluntariness, no matter what happened, it would not be a problem.

Several people laughed, and Meng Lang looked righteous without fear, as if he had done something beneficial to the people.

Liang Jin said loudly: "No matter what, we still can't relax our vigilance, and try to ensure convenient contact these days to prevent other forces from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble." Our plan is also being tried in secret, and when the army grows stronger, we will no longer be afraid of these people. Therefore, everybody understands the hard work. ”

Several people were all smiling and said, "Obey the order of the Second Commander!"
