Chapter 38: Accidents
"Come on, drag him down, and take a heavy responsibility for twenty military sticks!" As soon as the herald finished speaking, Li Yi ordered at the soldiers beside him.
The soldiers were only stunned for a moment, and then immediately complied.
Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Li Yi continued: "Order the whole army, but in the future, those who delay, exaggerate, and delay the military aircraft will be killed!"
"What I want to tell you is that from today onwards, we are no longer reckless bandits wandering the rivers and lakes! We are rebelling and exterminating the Nine Clans! Looking through the history books, have you ever seen a group of reckless people who dominate the world?"
"No! Absolutely not! Since we have embarked on this road, we should not think about turning back, we will die if we turn back! Don't forget who we are, and our ancestors were also masters of the world! What they can do, we can do!"
Li Yi's voice became louder and louder, and it spread far and wide. The few generals and strategists beside him were silent, but Kong Ke looked at Li Yi's eyes with a hint of relief, a hint of expectation, and a hint of helplessness.
"Qin Gang!" Li Yi called out in a loud voice.
"The last general!" The stout man wanted to reply casually, but when he thought of what Li Yi had just said, he changed his words to this sentence, and also made a standard military salute awkwardly.
"Go to the Zhenhai Gang compound in the north to support!Ye Kai, that old guy has good kung fu, can you take it down?" Li Yi asked in a loud voice.
"The military advisor can rest assured! The last general dares to make a military order, if he can't take the Zhenhai Gang, he will kill himself to thank the whole army!" Qin Gang also shouted in a rough voice.
"Okay!" Li Yi nodded.
Qin Gang then strode away with two heavy hammers.
After Qin Gang left, one of the strategists beside Li Yi said thoughtfully: "Qin Gang has gone to the Zhenhai Gang, so it's not a big problem." But this Qian family compound, I don't know who the military advisor is going to send there?"
Li Yi's deep pupils glanced at the man lightly, and asked playfully, "Who are your candidates?"
The man smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that Brother Kong Ke Kong was known as the 'first person under the grandmaster' many years ago, so many years have passed, I am afraid that the skills are more prosperous in the past, even if it is not a grandmaster, I am afraid that it is not much worse, and a certain family thinks that if the Kong Ke brothers are sent there, they will be able to take the Qian family compound in one fell swoop." ”
Li Yi also smiled and said, "It's not much worse, it's still bad!" The Qian family has a thousand-year-old inheritance, do you think there will be no masters of the Grandmaster Realm?"
"This ......," the man hesitated.
As soon as he wanted to say more, he was interrupted by Li Yi's voice: "We have generals who charge into battle, but there are few who can use their brains, not to mention that Brother Kong's brains are much better than yours!"
Li Yi said the back, with obvious coldness in his voice.
When the man heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head, his eyes wandered, and there were small beads of sweat on his forehead.
Fortunately, Li Yi's knife-like eyes didn't stay on him for long, and then moved to everyone, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Listen to me! From now on, there will be only one enemy for us, and that is the Li family's court! Whoever dares to be careful behind his back, don't blame me Li Yi for turning his face and not recognizing people!"
After speaking, Li Yi ignored the speechless crowd and walked away with his own soldiers.
Kong Ke, who was on the spot, looked at Li Yi's back deeply, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Just when a group of "Zoroastrian" people were in full swing to seize Yangzhou City, Xu Chen in the farm on the outskirts of Shengzhou, hundreds of miles southeast of Yangzhou City, has been in a faint anxiety in the past few days, and this anxiety has become more and more intense with the passage of time.
"How's it going?, hasn't there been any news from Yangzhou?" asked Xu Chen at the young man beside him.
The third Wang Ce and Zheng Tai went to Chang'an, and the old Zhou Zhou Kang has been busy training recruits, and the youngest Shi Lei can't help. Since the disagreement between him and Lu Hao last time, Xu Chen has had to do everything by himself these days, and he was really too busy to pull the young man who was originally two guards next to him. Fortunately, the teenagers were all taught by Xu Chen, and there is not much difference in ability, but there is just less experience.
The young man Xu Chen asked at this time was the person responsible for receiving and transmitting the information of flying pigeons.
It was not the first time that the young man had heard his eldest brother ask like this today, and looking at the eldest brother's hopeful and anxious eyes, he had no choice but to shake his head helplessly: "I ran again just now, and indeed no, there has not been a carrier pigeon in the Zhuangzi in the past few days, not even a few miles outside the Zhuangzi." ”
"Then Yuzhang didn't have it?" Xu Chen asked again meaninglessly as if he hadn't understood the young man's words.
The boy shook his head again.
"How can this be?" Xu Chen was stunned and said to himself, "...... Am I wrong? Is there a problem with this response?"
Xu Chen walked back and forth, and said in a thoughtful voice: "It shouldn't be, then why hasn't there been any movement? Could it be that the information given by Abbot Huineng is wrong?......
After receiving the information from Yuzhang, Xu Chen responded, ordering Zheng Tai to leave a boatload of grain on Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River, while asking people to go around to inquire about the Yang family's activities.
Without food, the food crisis will break out faster, and the situation in the south will develop in the direction of the Yang family, and Xu Chen wants such a result. Facing a powerful enemy who knew nothing about it, Xu Chen could only use this extreme method to deal with it, just because he didn't want to pin his fate on others.
But the current situation is getting more and more out of his previous expectations. Zheng Tai's grain ship stayed on Chongming Island for more than ten days, Xu Fan sent him a letter almost every day to urge him to enter Beijing, and the second Lu Hao looked sad and compassionate in front of him every day, Xu Chen couldn't bear it, so he had to agree to let Wang Ce lead the grain ship into Beijing.
Xu Chen thought to himself, with the skills of the Yang family, it dragged on for more than ten days, and it was enough for them to prepare, who knew that after more than ten days, Yangzhou City had no movement at all!
Yes, Xu Chen clearly knew that if the Yang family wanted to choose the location of the incident, they would definitely choose Yangzhou City!
Yangzhou City has experienced two major chaos in a row this year, and the city has long been dilapidated, choosing this place is the easiest thing to do, and at the same time, as the head of the southeast, taking Yangzhou, the political significance is extraordinary. Since these Yang family members are the royal family of the previous dynasty, and the background is there, they will definitely not mess around like the homeless people, and there will definitely be corresponding demands at the political level. For this reason, it is not difficult for Xu Chen to guess the place in Yangzhou.
Therefore, Xu Chen sent people to Yangzhou to report the movements of Yangzhou City at all times, but until now, there has been no news in return.
"This uncontrollable feeling is really fucking uncomfortable!"
Xu Chen likes to calculate a qiē before making a move, that is, the kind of cook who prepares the ingredients and then cooks, this method of doing things naturally has incomparable benefits, and can play a good role in protecting the weaker party. But once the situation deviates from the original plan, it is easy to fall into anxiety and panic, and this time it is facing an enemy who knows nothing. Even Xu Chen couldn't help but be restless.
"Go! call the fourth child!" Xu Chen walked back and forth many times, and finally made a decision.
A teenager left, and it didn't take long for Zhou Kang, who was training recruits on the school grounds, to come in a hurry.
"Big brother, are you looking for me?"
As soon as Xu Chen saw Zhou Kang coming in, he hurriedly got up and walked to his side and asked, "What you have prepared, how are you preparing now?"
Zhou Kang was a little surprised: "Isn't that the last preparation just in case?
"Alas...... Yangzhou and Yuzhang have not had the slightest news, and now it has been almost twenty days, and there has been no movement at all! I really don't know the bottom of my heart, let's prepare for the worst first!" Xu Chen said dejectedly.
Zhou Kang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the situation is not as we thought before?" or maybe there is something wrong with the information given by Master Huineng?......"
Before Xu Chen finished listening, he shook his head decisively: "Impossible! The old monk of Huineng actually wants to use my hand to uncover the secret that he can't unravel, since he has a request from me, it is impossible to hope that I have something, and the information he gave is extremely credible!"
"Then could it be that there was an accident on the way?" Zhou Kang asked again.
"Accidents? What accidents can there be? You know, I would never pin my hopes on these illusory things!" Xu Chen said categorically.
Zhou Kang was still unwilling, he thought that the eldest brother was just overestimating the enemy's ability at the moment, so he fell into anxiety and lost his former calmness.
"Why don't you wait a little longer? Maybe there will be news from Yangzhou City tomorrow? Besides, the big guy has just settled down, and he has to run around again after not living for two months, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of people who will oppose it!" Zhou Kangjian said.
"I can't wait! Even if Yangzhou City is in chaos now, but Yangzhou is in the northeast, but they are coming from the southwest, originally thinking of expanding this turmoil as much as possible, completely blocking their search road, and erasing our traces, but now it's too late in time!" Xu Chen didn't care about this, and still ordered coldly: "If you want to go with us, take it away, and let those who don't want to leave!"
"Alas......"
Zhou Kang nodded helplessly, and was about to retreat. When he walked to the door, he stopped again, turned to his eldest brother and said, "Big brother, I have always wanted to ask you something." ”
"Ask!" Xu Chen replied.
"When did you start dreaming?" Zhou Kang was curious.
Xu Chen understood what kind of dream the fourth child was talking about, so he replied: "On Changshan Island, the day Li Wei was blown up! At first, I thought that this guy was here to seek revenge, but then the dream became clearer and clearer, and I realized that I was being targeted!"
Zhou Kang thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "No wonder after the stone wakes up, you will be so angry! Later, he completely gave up the previous safe way to make money and began to blatantly rob money. ”
Xu Chen's skin was thick enough, without the slightest discomfort, and he still nodded indifferently: "No way, these people can actually create such a weird dream, where can this kind of method be used by people, if you want to protect yourself, I can only go off the rails!"
"Then big brother, how are you going to deal with them?" Since he asked here, Zhou Kang took the opportunity to ask.
Xu Chen thought to himself, he had to say it sooner or later anyway, and since he talked about it here today, he would continue to say: "No matter what, these guys are still people, although they don't look like it at all." They live in groups again, there are quite a few people, and to put it bluntly, they are not much different from the confrontation between the two countries, although their individual strength is very strong, but they are not also subject to great restrictions!"
"If you deal with it according to the idea that the two countries are at war, troublesome things can be made simpler, and it is nothing more than a matter of the balance of forces. What we have to do is to do our best to improve our own strength! Then what else can I do? Do I run to the emperor Lao'er and tell him that someone wants to attack their family, and let him hand over the command to me and return it to him after he runs away? Or run to the wealthy family and let them actively raise donations?"
Xu Chen laughed as he spoke.
"I have a doubt, since these guys have such a strong force, why don't they come out and grab land with the people outside?
"I was puzzled by this question at first, and even suspected that my guess was wrong. However, I learned from Master Huineng that these people could not survive in the outside world at all, and the territory of the outside world had no effect on them, so why did they rob it?" Xu Chen explained.
"This explanation is a bit pale!" Zhou Kang was still unconvinced.
Xu Chen nodded: "Yes! Although the territory outside is useless to them, just like our dynasty is going to march on the grassland peoples in a big way, whether it is to eliminate the threat or to promote power, there is no conflict between the two sides at all, and even the people outside rarely even know about their existence, which is very strange!"
Zhou Kang nodded in agreement: "That's right! Even if you can't occupy the territory, it's human nature to rely on your strong strength to enslave people from the outside world, right?
Xu Chen then nodded in agreement: "You are right! At first, I thought so, and then Abbot Huineng said that there is a ubiquitous toxin in this outside world, a toxin that is fatal to them! After all, in their eyes, people from the outside world are like ants, and if it were you, they wouldn't spend tens of thousands of copper coins to trample an ant to death, right?"
"I'm not an idiot!" Zhou Kang said angrily.
"Yes, fortunately, they aren't!" Xu Chen said with some rejoicing.
"Big brother!" After listening to Xu Chen's narration, Zhou Kang suddenly thought of one thing: "According to the eldest brother, these people can't survive in the outside world after leaving the aura bracelet, so does it also mean that without using the aura, these people are just like ordinary people to us?"
After listening to Zhou Kang's analysis, Xu Chen pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Okay! The reaction is fast enough! No wonder you kid suddenly discovered the strangeness of those monks in the temple in the Huangcheng Temple!"
"Since these people didn't make a large-scale attack on people from the outside world, it must only be because after leaving the aura, they are no different from ordinary people!" Xu Chen agreed with Zhou Kang's guess.
"Huh. Zhou Kang smirked twice and said, "Big brother thinks too much, it is inevitable that there will be negligence!"
"Okay, if you kid has anything to say, just say it quickly!" Xu Chen scolded with a smile, Zhou Kang said such a long list, I think there is something important.
"In that case, that means we just need to make them unable to use their aura! Isn't that aura bracelet on their hands, and it is not impossible to take it under a surprise attack. And after taking them, we will have a breakthrough, and we will be able to get more information, which is much more useful than blindly evading!"
Zhou Kang saw that the eldest brother was deep in thought, so he added fire: "And if we can know what the toxins from the outside world are in their eyes, wouldn't it be easier to deal with them! Since they are everywhere, it will not be more difficult for us to obtain this kind of thing than it is now......
Xu Chen thought about it, and suddenly came back to his senses: "How much do you kid don't want to run away?"
Zhou Kang was expressionless, and replied calmly: "These are some of my personal opinions, since we will have to be enemies with them sooner or later, it is better to take advantage of the fact that there are few people coming from them now, and take one or two of them, even if something happens, it will be too late to run again!"
Xu Chen was silent, he naturally didn't want to run away, if Zhou Kang's suggestion was successful, then there was no doubt that they would get a good breakthrough and be able to get more and more detailed information.
However, Xu Chen, who has personally experienced the magical power of these people, really has no bottom in his heart.
"Alas, I was going to get the hot weapons out after settling down, but I never thought that these people would come so quickly, and now that they have guns in their hands, they have to fight with them!" Xu Chen thought viciously in his heart.
Seeing that Zhou Kang was still waiting for his reply, Xu Chen had no choice but to stop his thoughts and said, "Since this is the case, then prepare for both!"
Zhou Kang knew that this was the last limit of the eldest brother, so he had to give up lobbying and nod away.
Xu Chen was anxious because the situation seemed out of his grasp. If he didn't have a deep understanding of Huineng's motives, I'm afraid he would also wonder if the information given by this old monk was fake!
In fact, the information given by Monk Huineng is naturally not fake! Although the juniors who came to Yuzhang in the Kunlun Domain this time are not in a high realm, they all have a level above the middle stage of foundation building.
According to the speed of this realm, although there is some deviation in a hundred miles a day, it will not be too big.
However, what Huineng and Xu Chen didn't expect was that the reason why there had been no movement in the past 20 days was actually because of a person! a woman! a playful girl!
Xu Chen was never willing to pin his hopes on others, but God, who always likes to play tricks on the world, still sent a "fairy" girl and gave him a lot of luck......
