The door of the Longya Pass was wide open, and the two thousand soldiers of the Zhangjia Army returned in a line, and Su Da, the commander of the Su Army, stood outside the gate to greet him.

There are only so many people left in the 100,000 Zhang family army, if you send more soldiers to the battle, will you be able to come back more?

In fact, this is not the case, after the troops are deployed, the battle line to receive the enemy is limited, and no matter how many people are sent, only so many can meet the enemy, and the front rushes over, even if the continuous follow-up from the back cannot reverse the battlefield situation, and will only trample on more of their own soldiers.

The increase in the thickness of the battle array can indeed be pushed sideways to annihilate the enemy, but the senseless sacrifices of one's own side will be multiplied several times, such as activating a row of golden needles, if the enemy is sparse, the golden needles can fly over a distance of 100 meters before dissipating, and the friendly troops in front of 100 meters have at least three rows, and the injured and fallen horses will inevitably be trampled by the comrades behind.

100,000 Zhang Jiajun can defeat 500,000 Lin Jiajun, if it is increased to 150,000, it is still these people who come back, and the 50,000 sent by the Duo faction is purely in vain.

Zhang Cheng followed Zhang Zan to the base camp, the former bustling camp is now empty, enter the camp tent and lift his marching backpack and come out, Zhang Zan has been waiting outside the tent.

"There will be a baggage battalion here to clean up, let's go home!"

"Won't Big Brother go back with us?"

"He and the five lieutenant generals still have to go to the Fifth Army Division to report on their work, and they sent eighty Wuzun and only fifty went back, the losses exceeded expectations, the eldest brother has a hard time, we can't help!"

The probability of the Qi country's advancement is dozens of times higher than that of the Liang country's monks, even so, the total number of martial arts is only two or three thousand, and one less one dies.

"Alas, the dead seniors were all old people who had accumulated years and could have lived in peace. ”

Zhang Zan was very conflicted in his heart, these martial artists could become martial emperors in the future, but to keep them, they had to sacrifice young people, and when young people reached their sixties and could not advance to the emperor realm, they would sacrifice themselves to protect their juniors when they were about to be promoted, so it was difficult to say which choice was right between the trade-offs.

"Before the age of sixty, the Emperor Realm can protect us more thoroughly, giving birth to a child is a big deal, you will soon get married when you go back this time, if you want to be worthy of the dead elders, give birth to one more!"

Zhang Cheng had no concept of getting married and having children, he was confused and didn't know what the situation was, he only knew that the purpose of preserving the lives of young people was to have more children, otherwise the Qi State would face the dilemma of having no successor.

If the State of Qi sends masters to participate, the State of Liang will increase the frequency of sending troops, and the interval of fifteen years will be reduced, if so, the State of Qi will be even more unable to hold on, so it has to recognize the conditions of the State of Liang, and only send one Emperor Wu to participate in the war at a time, protecting the youngest sons and deaths, except for dozens of outstanding juniors in the pro-military camp under the age of thirty-five, the soldiers of the Zhang family army are generally between forty and sixty years old.

The young people who can be selected to enter the pro-military camp are all children who have shown outstanding cultivation talents, and after experiencing actual combat washing, their personal ideological height will rise significantly, and their cultivation speed will be further accelerated, and most of the martial emperors of Qi have grown up in this way.

The Longya Pass is thirteen miles wide, the widest part of the inner valley is more than fifty miles, the mouth that enters the Qi country is narrowed again, it is twenty miles wide, the straight passage is as long as three hundred miles, the peaks on both sides are towering, the clouds cover the sky and the sun, and the sky has never been seen in this passage since the historical records.

Because the pro-military camp is the last guardian general to enter the customs, and when Zhang Zhong left, he returned to the camp to pack his bags, and when Zhang Cheng and Zhang Zan set off to return to their hometowns, the others had already left.

Out of the inner pass, the clouds above gave way to half of the sky, the stars were dotted, the brothers jumped off their horses, removed the saddle and the dragon's head, patted the horses on the neck to let them go home, the two horses were reluctant to go, after a big battle, the dead war horses were only a few thousand, the other horses would wait for him to die after the knight fell off the horse before returning to the grassland, and finally the only number of war horses that could accompany the knight to return completely was this number, and they hoped to get the companion friendship of the monks.

Beast cultivation and human cultivation need to match attributes to form a companion relationship, Liang Guoren cultivates immortals, they are eager to match the demonic beasts, the companion beasts raised are all petite and small, their war horses are cultivators cultivated by domestication skills, the relationship is very close but the combat effectiveness is not high, and they only have the ability of primary demon cultivation.

The war horses of the Qi people are wild beast cultivators, before the war, the horses run to wait for the soldiers to choose, if their own attributes of the five elements lack fire, pick a pure fire attribute of the wild horse is the most matched, so that you can form a companion relationship, and never abandon the group cultivation throughout your life, and the absorbed fire attribute aura can not be passed on to your partners, so the companion beast has an additional source of aura.

If it is a high-level beast cultivator, you can learn the monk's exercises, and you can also feed back the excess aura you absorb to the monk, so that you can benefit from each other, and the monk and the beast will benefit each other.

But the wisdom of the wild horse is limited, and it can't pass on the excess aura it absorbs to the warrior, so the returning soldiers will persuade the wild horse to leave, if they really don't want to go, they can only let their companion beasts drive them away, their own cultivation income is limited, and it is not enough to provide them with companion beasts, so it is fair for them to fight for their own interests, anyway, the monks don't owe anything to the war horses, and a year has already allowed them to take advantage of it.

The two horses have long known that the two of them have their own companion beast cultivation, and they are only paired because of the need for battle, but they don't give up, they and Zhang Cheng and Zhang Zan can match purely by small chance, because these two people are all attributes of the five elements, and so are the two of them, this kind of combination is not to exchange excess aura with each other, but to gather more aura when cultivating together, and the time for the dissipation of aura with high concentration will be delayed, which can not only improve the speed and duration of cultivation, but also work together to suppress the spiritual invasion of aura.

Zhang Cheng stroked the bridge of the big black horse's nose and communicated with it: "I teach you how to exercise exercises, you always can't learn, if you can quickly gather more spiritual energy like me, you won't dilute my cultivation gains, I hope you can be the same as me, but you still can't do it in a year, isn't it pulling me back if I practice with you again?"

The big dark horse knew that he had taken too much advantage of Zhang Cheng, but if he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it, so he had to discuss and say: "I don't affect your cultivation, I only follow you nearby, when will it be okay to get close to you again?"

When it came to this, it was really difficult to continue to refuse, and when he looked back at Zhang Zan and saw that he was also nodding, he had to put on the harness again, and the two of them got on the horse and returned home.

The territory of the Zhang family is in the southern region of Qi State, close to the foot of the Tianlong Mountain Range, and it is divided into a state every few hundred miles, a total of three regions, and the middle belongs to the Zhang family, guarding a mountain range at the inner entrance of Longya Pass, not only to guard against the infiltration of Liang State sentinels, but also to prevent those stupid and stupid beasts from harming people.

Wild boars, wild sheep, and wild deer in this area can destroy a large area of crops if they are not careful, and this beast has no need to be domesticated, is at the bottom of the food chain, and reproduces naturally and quickly, and is the main source of meat.

Lu Xiu is a pure fairy beast, the high-level deer king has higher wisdom, can help the Qi people to rain, the rest is wild deer, in addition to being able to pull a cart or travel, the biggest role is to produce a little deer antler velvet into medicine, the meat is firewood and hard, there is really no meat to eat will be hunted, it belongs to the most worthless beast, and even because of too much reproduction, the deer king will lead the tribe through the leopard king's territory to send meat to the door.

Not long after leaving the pass, I met a team of garrisons riding deer patrolling the night, seeing that the two of them were so young, they didn't dare to entangle the oil, if they were replaced by other veterans, they would be pestering to ask for a little animal blood and other spiritual things, the older they are, the less motivated they are to cultivate, and they are willing to cultivate young people.

More than ten miles away from the foot of the mountain, the two set up tents and prepared to sleep, Zhang Cheng asked Zhang Zan: "Brother Zan, how do you say the elders will punish Brother Zhong?"

"It's probably still the old routine, rush into the plain and walk for ten years, and pay 100 tons of spiritual flesh or other spiritual objects to be pardoned. ”

"Let's go help the eldest brother, even if it is to provide an intermediate card!"

Zhang Zan patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder: "Go to bed early, if I could, I would have gone to help a long time ago, why should I let you worry." ”

The currency of Lanyun Continent is energy cards, low-level cards contain 100 points of energy, intermediate-level cards contain 10,000 points, high-level cards contain 1 million points, one point of energy can buy a 300-kilogram wild boar or buy a pound of mortal iron, and a healing pill can be exchanged for twenty high-level cards, because there are two traces of aura contained in it.

The production of energy cards requires spiritual materials, and they can also extract their own energy and infuse them into it, like Zhang Cheng's samurai cultivation, which can guide an energy point into the energy card a day, which is a way to store energy, and the storage of energy by monks with a low realm is a foolish act that outweighs the loss, and the aura absorbed by the samurai morning class can stimulate at least 100 million points of energy, which is equivalent to a hundred high-level cards.

After the morning class, the two of them quickly returned to their hometown: Taoyuan Village, Qingyuan County, Qingzhou.

This is Zhang Zan's territory, strictly speaking, Zhang Cheng is Zhang Zan's people, the head of the Zhang family is the second master Zhang Fuchen, and the other branches are all collateral, Zhang Cheng's grandfather is the eldest, and Zhang Zan's grandfather is the fourth.

The second master and the fifth master are descendants, Zhang Yongkui is the son of the fifth master, and Zhang Zhong is the grandson of the second master.

Zhang Cheng's grandfather lost his cultivation in the battle thirty years ago and became an ordinary person, his parents are still in the realm of warriors in their forties, and the family has moved several times following the footsteps of Zhang Cheng's growth, this time just left the martial arts school for a year and was assigned to settle in Zhang Zan's territory.

There are many possibilities for a cultivator to lose his cultivation, such as the spiritual fire is extinguished, the health of the body is only restored after going out of the fire, the materialization of the Qifu acupoint, the blockage or rupture of the meridians, the wrong operation of the exercises, etc., as long as the spiritual qi is not running smoothly, the cultivation will be lost.

Uncle participated in the battle, the rest of his life, so he undertook the mission of espionage, every time the merchant is a way to obtain information, the uncle has three sons and four daughters, two sons were killed in the war, three daughters died, leaving seven or eight grandchildren, Zhang Cheng is the youngest.

Most of the women of Qi died early, all of them were the dangers brought by the birth of the first child, and the first child of the monk must have high qualifications that could be cultivated, so the damage to the mother during pregnancy was the greatest, and more than half of the cultivation income from the morning class every day was absorbed by the fetus.

The people of Qi are fighting against wild beasts every day, not to mention the danger!
