Chapter 37: True and False

"Meet the Lord."

The soldiers guarding the gates of the city bowed.

After Dongfang Li asked the magic mirror about the information of the person in front of him with a qi value, he sent a voice to tell the fake city lord Dongfang Qi.

When the fake city lord Dongfang Qi heard this, he said to Dongfang Xun: "Dongfang Xun, you go to the military camp to give an order, let them gather in a stick of incense, I have something important to announce." ”

"Yes, City Lord." The Oriental Patrol responded.

Then the fake city lord Dongfang Qi said again: "A few of you go to the outer city and the inner city gate to give orders, let them also go to the barracks, and my guards will take over for them to guard the city gate." ”

"Yes."

The soldiers at the gate would not have thought that Dongfang Qi was a fake city lord at all.

"This city will be mine." Dongfang Li clenched his hands into fists, turned his body and said to the soldiers beside him: "Send people to guard the gate of the inner city, and send twenty more light martial arts masters to the city wall to observe the movement." ”

These are the guards on the Qinghe Town Mansion, using them to temporarily guard the city gate to reassure Dongfang Li.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, the crowd was excited, they all supported Dongfang Li's plan today, after all, after Dongfang Li occupied a city, they had the opportunity to become the monarch of the vassal states, and their status would rise.

"Wan Dahai, when I enter the gate of the barracks, you will give an order to let Han'er and them enter the city, and immediately close the gate of the inner city after entering the city, inspect the outer city, and let Han'er and Zhuang Zi go to the city lord's mansion after half a pillar of incense, and I will go to the barracks to prevent chaos." Seeing that the gate of the city was still going well, Dongfang ordered.

After successfully entering the inner city, Dongfang Li and Dongfang Qi entered the barracks.

Inside the bamboo city, the barracks.

The military camp was located in the inner city of the city, adjacent to the castle lord's mansion, and when the castle was built in the Taiyi Dynasty, the inner and outer castles were built separately.

The outer city is the residence of ordinary people and merchants, the inner city is the place of officials, retainers, doormen and military camps, the battle of the princes, the inner city is the main battlefield, and the victory or defeat of the inner city determines the ownership of the entire city.

The war here is a bit like in ancient times, soldier against soldier, and individual strength has the opportunity to decide the outcome of the war, so when the inner city falls, the people in the outer city either leave or surrender, and the victorious side is not afraid of the people in the outer city to turn the tables.

After occupying the inner city, the common people and merchants of the outer city will obey the rule, anyway, the princes often change, and they are used to it.

Generally, after the war, the interior will be cleaned, but they dare not do anything within the massacre, as long as there is a massacre, the heavenly court and the imperial dynasty will intervene, and the consequences can be imagined.

At this moment, a large number of soldiers gathered in the barracks, a thousand ordinary soldiers, five hundred elite soldiers, except for the two hundred who were killed and the people who protected the city lord's mansion, all rushed to the barracks.

On the podium in the huge training ground of the military camp, Dongfang Qi pretended to be the city lord and brought more than twenty guards who had been cultivating for more than sixty years at the age of 100, and Dongfang Li stood side by side with him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have summoned you for something important to announce." Dongfang Qi, the fake city lord, said loudly: "Dongfang Ion Jue next to me will be your new commander, and he will also be the new city lord of Bamboo City. From now on, Zhucheng will no longer be the territory of Longyan County, but the fiefdom of Dongfang Ion Jue. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were in an uproar.

They were very surprised to change the city lord, and now that even the ownership of Bamboo City has been replaced, it is still a little difficult for him to accept.

There are also a few people from the Dongfang family in this group of soldiers, they were ecstatic when they heard the words of the fake Bamboo City City Lord, Dongfang Li is their family master, with Bamboo City Dongfang Li is a veritable prince, and their status will soar.

"You still don't want to see the Lord of the New City?" Dongfang Qi, the fake city lord, had a cold face and said sharply: "Do you dare to disobey my orders?" ”

"Meet the Lord."

Twelve hundred soldiers stepped forward and saluted in unison.

"Excuse me." Dongfang Li raised his hand lightly and said.

"City Lord, I will take away the cronies and elite barracks of the general, I don't know if it is okay." Dongfang Qi, the fake city lord, looked at the group of soldiers and said.

This is a play between their father and son, and the fake identity gives way.

Take over the military camp at the lowest cost, and then Dongfang Qi used his identity as a fake city lord to take away those soldiers who were loyal to the city lord of Zhucheng and the Wei family of the Longyan Monarch's Mansion, and took them to the place set outside, and Zhuang Zhongxian, who had been promoted to Chitose and changed his life, was all disposed of outside the city, and even the fake city lord Dongfang Qi had to play dead.

Dongfang Li nodded happily and said loudly: "The soldiers who are willing to follow the city lord and continue to be loyal to the Longyan County Guowei family are out of the ranks, as for the soldiers of the elite battalion who are willing to stay and be loyal to me, they will stay, and I will reuse you in the future." ”

In addition to the one hundred and fourteen elite soldiers who were loyal to the city lord of Zhucheng, there were only more than a dozen military attachΓ©s above the squad leader among the ordinary soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers were all looking at me, I looked at you, and there was no movement.

"City Lord, I'm leaving." Dongfang Qi, the fake city lord, bowed to Dongfang and said with a cold face, and left the barracks with more than one hundred and twenty people.

Dongfang Li saw the fake city lord Dongfang Qi leaving, so he waved to Dongfang Xing, the housekeeper behind him, and said, "Lift it up." ”

"Yes!" Dongfang Xing commanded several guards to carry out four or five huge boxes.

Carrying the box to the front of the soldiers' ranks, the box was opened with a few clicks, and the white flowers, yellow silver and gold immediately dazzled many soldiers.

"Wow, a lot of silver, and gold bars."

"Lots of silver and gold!"

"This, how much gold and silver is this, if you give it all to me, it will be sent, and we will only send a hundred taels of silver when we are soldiers in January."

"You should have heard my name Dongfang Li, the descendant of the Holy Empress, the grandson of the King of Yu, in the future, you will be loyal to me, naturally your gold and silver are indispensable, whoever fights bravely to kill the enemy, in addition to gold and silver, there are other rewards, if you die in battle, then your family will be dealt with by me, and your descendants will be taken care of by me."

As Dongfang Li spoke, the guard carrying the box poured out the gold and silver in the box, and fell to the ground with a ping-pong sound, which made the soldiers itch in their hearts and wanted to run over and grab it.

"Today, everyone has a reward, one hundred taels of silver for each ordinary soldier, and three taels of gold or three hundred taels of silver for the squad leader. The captain was eight taels of gold or eight hundred taels of silver, and the captain was thirty taels of gold or three thousand taels of silver.

As soon as Dongfang Li finished saying this, more than 1,000 soldiers present shouted violently, this is real money, that don't love, Dongfang Li is equivalent to giving them an extra month's military salary.

The atmosphere began to warm up at this time, not as cold as just now, and the soldiers were all smiling, and they initially recognized Dongfang Li in their hearts.

Dongfang Li took advantage of the soldier's initial approval, took out a few boxes of pills to improve his cultivation, and said: "Gold and silver are trivial, as long as anyone makes meritorious deeds in the future, I will reward the pill for cultivation." ”

"I am willing to die for the city lord!" The guards beside Dongfang took the lead in roaring at this time, and the more than a thousand soldiers also followed suit.

Dongfang Li raised his right hand and raised it, and the military camp immediately quieted down, and his eyes were looking at Dongfang Li.

"I've just become your commander, so I'll tell you my rules at the beginning." Dongfang Li walked around as he spoke, "My rules are very simple, soldiers should obey military orders and abide by military discipline under any circumstances. From now on, those who do not obey orders and do not respect military discipline will be dealt with according to law. ”

Speaking of which, Dongfang Li's great master cultivator unabashedly unabashedly unleashed, cultivating the sword intent of the Four Seasons Sword Canon, changing the climate of a small piece of heaven and earth around him, spring rain like silk, summer thunder shocking, autumn frost covering the ground, and winter snow full of sky.

The true qi and sword intent that came out of the body shrouded the thousands of soldiers on the field, they were like being enveloped by a strong force, and their limbs and limbs seemed to be tied, and they couldn't move!

"Boom!"

Dongfang Li snorted coldly, and in the dark, the airflow exploded, and the thousands of soldiers seemed to be under the huge waves of the stormy sea, looking very small, and after being pressed by Dongfang Li's backhand, their bodies were pressed to the ground fiercely, prostrate on the ground, unable to breathe.

"Whew!"

Thousands of soldiers felt that they had been closed by the ghost gate, and when Dongfang Li had withdrawn his true qi, he dared to take a long breath of fresh air.

Dongfang Li showed his invincible strength, and these soldiers looked at him in awe, and from then on, Dongfang Li became an indelible mark in their hearts.

Temptation and Weihe, let the thousand soldiers return to their hearts for the first time, Dongfang Li disrupted them and reorganized, let the magic mirror transform them into the God of War Army, and then transferred 2,000 of the 3,000 Liukou God of War Army who had just entered the city into the barracks to form a new God of War Army to deal with the war in the near future.

When he arranged all this, it was already nightfall, Zhuang Zi and Dongfang Han also completely cleaned up the City Lord's Mansion, as for what the two of them did, Dongfang Li had already made arrangements to let Zhuang Zi openly break into the City Lord's Mansion and kill, and Dongfang Han took action to suppress the great grandmaster in the City Lord's Mansion.

Outer city of Bamboo City.

As soon as the sun went down, there were many carriages, large sedan chairs and small sedan chairs, and a pair of gorgeous men, women and children hurried to the Marquis's Mansion in the east, which made many people look sideways.

"What's going on? Why is everyone in such a hurry to go to the Jue's Mansion? Who are these people? ”

"Outsiders, these are the people from the Dongfang family in Zhucheng, you see, the team of people wearing armor is next to Zhucheng, Yancheng Sanfang, the leader is the head of the three-room family, Dongfang Mi, he is one of the eight commanders of Longyan County, he has 10,000 horses, I heard that he has long been separated from the Dongfang family, how can he also come, and the team of people who sit in the sedan chair are the managers of the Dongfang family's chamber of commerce in Hecheng, and they belong to the Dongfang family's branch of the family, although they are not officials, but they have money ......."

"I heard that the Dongfang family has a big happy event, the injury of the head of the family, Dongfang Ionjue, is healed today, these clansmen are here to prepare for tomorrow's big celebration, so the whole family, young and old, have come here, and those who originally broke away from the family have also come, Dongfang Li turned out to be the pillar of the Dongfang family, you must know that the Dongfang family was still a small family scattered in various cities a few decades ago, and under the leadership of the head of the family, Dongfang Li, it has become the most prosperous family in Longyan County in just over ten years."

"I heard that the descendants of the Holy Empress of the Oriental Ion Jue are more noble than the people of the Wei family!"

"It seems to be, otherwise how could he be canonized as a marquis? You must know that Wei Yan, the monarch of Longyan County, is just a baron! ”

As night fell, more and more people from the family gathered from all directions, and the palace was full of people coming and going, and it was extremely noisy.
