Chapter 418: Heartbeat
In the lobby of Wutie Mansion, a jade plate several feet long and wide and one foot thick is suspended in the air, emitting wisps of smoke, with bright brilliance inside, showing a magnificent geographical map of mountains and rivers.
The Great Jin Dynasty, the Great Wei Dynasty, the Great Wu Three Kingdoms, the Great Jin Dynasty is located in the east, its shape is like a huge mulberry leaf, the petiole is in the west, and the leaf tip is facing the east.
The Great Wei is shaped like a three-headed dragon, located in the west of the Great Jin Dynasty, its dragon tail faces east, and the three huge heads swoop towards the west, northwest and southwest, extending hundreds of millions of miles, and the territory area is more than fifty percent larger than that of the Great Jin.
The topography of Dawu is like a hanging bell, located in the south of the Great Jin and Great Wei. Its slender knob is located in the north, and the slightly slender in the middle and the extraordinarily thick body at the bottom are located in the south.
The battlefield of the Three Kingdoms is the place where the petiole of the Great Jin, the dragon tail of the Great Wei, and the bell button of the Great Wu meet.
In addition to the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms, which allowed the Three Kingdoms to have the most direct exchanges and collisions, the Three Kingdoms are separated by extremely vast poor mountains and wilderness, full of wild places, hiding countless risks and crises.
For countless years, the three countries have tried to find their way to the other two countries from the wild mountains, but the three countries have invested countless manpower and material resources, but in the end they only lost their troops and lost their generals, and there was little effect.
On the geographical map of mountains and rivers, in the southwest of the huge territory shaped like mulberry leaves of the Great Jin Dynasty, a small point is lit up, which is the location of Dazezhou.
A pale green dotted line stretched from Dazezhou to the southwest, and after a straight draw for a distance, it twisted and turned, gradually advancing towards the south, and then the dotted line suddenly twisted to the southwest very largely, stretching straight to the northeast territory of the Great Martial God Kingdom.
"This is the general direction of the secret path that countless secret agents of the Cardinal Hall have spent countless efforts to probe. Sima Yu pointed to the pale green dotted line with a vivid expression and said with a smile: "If we can open up this secret path and arrange enough advance fortresses on the secret path, we will completely control this secret path in our hands...... Ladies and gentlemen, knighthood is as easy as a snap of your hand. β
Wu Tie stood in the middle of the lobby, looking intently at this huge geographical map of mountains and rivers, trying his best to keep it in mind.
Hearing Sima Yu's words, Wu Tie sighed faintly: "It's easy to be knighted?
Sima Yu jumped up violently like a wild dog whose tail had been stepped on, pointed at Wu Tie and said angrily: "Huo Xiong, what are you talking about here?"
Wu Tie clasped his hands in front of his chest and said proudly: "What did I say, I said, it is easy for some people to be knighted, but those of us from humble backgrounds have worked hard to make contributions, hehe...... The result?"
Pointing to the geographical map of the mountains and rivers in the smoke, Wu Tie said indifferently: "Open up a secret path or something, this kind of miracle work, you go and get busy...... Lao Tzu is not interested, I will not accompany you!"
Sima Yu jumped up violently, he pointed at Wu Tie and said angrily, "Huo Xiong, you dare to disobey military orders?"
Wu Tie tilted his head, put on a posture of confusion, and said in a loud voice: "Lao Tzu disobeyed the military order? What military order? Can you restrain Lao Tzu from the deeds of your cardinal's palace?"
Wu Tie took two steps forward, almost touching Sima Yun's chest, pointing at Sima Yun's nose, and said word by word: "What is the Cardinal's Hall for? Investigate intelligence, plant secret spies, assassinate enemy generals, and kill ...... prisoners for treason."
"Lao Tzu is the chief general of the Dazezhou state army, and Lao Tzu is safe and stable, and he is responsible for training the state army in Dazezhou to maintain local peace...... Cardinal, can you bite off my bird? He, he can't control me...... In your official document, it only said that Dazezhou and the Black Phoenix Army should be 'seconded' soldiers and horses to cooperate. β
Pei Feng on the side made up a knife very well: "The word 'secondment', don't you know the meaning?" 'borrow', we are in a good mood, so we will lend you soldiers...... In a bad mood, we can train and drill with peace of mind, and expand the territory for the Great Jin Dynasty, which is also the most serious business, what can the Cardinal Hall do to us?"
Wu Tie smiled and looked at Sima You, who was at a loss: "Of course, if you can ask for a direct transfer order from the Military Department's Martial Arts Training Department...... Lao Tzu didn't say a word, immediately dispatched a large army, and followed you to the secret path. β
The military headquarters of the Great Jin Dynasty was tightly organized, with various functional halls and divisions.
For example, the Cardinal's Hall is a professional intelligence organization, the Department of Merit Examination is responsible for the evaluation of military merits and rewards and punishments in the army, the Department of Criminal Law is responsible for supervising lawlessness and severely punishing officers who violate discipline, and the Department of Military Training is the direct boss of all state and county armies.
In terms of the number of soldiers mastered alone, the head of the Martial Arts Training Department of the Military Department is the giant with the largest number of troops controlled by the Dajin military.
After all, how many troops are there in the main battle legions such as the Great Jin Shenwu Army, the Shenwei Army, the Demon Suppression Army, and the Demon Sweeping Army?
And the Martial Arts Training Division has mastered the standing strength of so many countries, states, and counties in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the territory of the Great Jin is extremely vast, and the regular garrisons of various countries, states, and armies may not be as powerful as the main battle corps, but the number is terrifying.
Wu Tie, the commander of the state army, must obey the direct orders of the Martial Arts Training Division.
But the Hall of Cardinals...... No matter how many secrets the Cardinal Hall has and no matter how much power he controls, he is not the direct boss of the state army, even if his official document is placed in front of Wu Tie, if Wu Tie does not take care of it, he will also take advantage of it.
Sima Yu and the others all felt a pain in their brains.
They only thought that they had come to Dazezhou with the tiger skin of the Cardinal Palace, and in their hearts, this was a thunderous action, and 'Huo Xiong' would never dare to disobey the military orders of the Cardinal's Palace.
But they really didn't expect that 'Huo Xiong' would really ignore the Cardinal's orders...... It seems that they don't have anything to do with 'Huo Xiong'?
Everyone doesn't belong to a system, and people are not willing to cooperate with you, even if the cardinal hall master slaps the table and scolds Niang, he can't do anything about 'Huo Xiong'.
Wu Tie looked at the stunned Sima Yu and the others with a smile.
He said slowly, "Okay, I understand your intentions...... However, I'm sorry, I'm a cautious person, and I won't cooperate with you, and I won't lend you a soldier. β
Shaking his head, Wu Tie sighed: "However, after all, everyone is from Dajin, for the sake of the same Paoze, Dazezhou will definitely meet your logistical supply requirements." It's too much trouble to transfer grain and grass from the hinterland of Dajin, and how high is the freight?"
"However, in the past half a year, I have opened up countless new fields, red coral rice, yellow coral rice, and hey. Wu Tie said slowly: "However, Dazezhou is poor and barren, everyone is bitter, and you are acting on the orders of the Cardinal's Palace, the Cardinal's Palace, that is the first-class and fat-flowing palace of the military department." β
"So, if you want to purchase rice and grain from Dazezhou, well, according to twice the market price of the hinterland of Dajin, no problem, right?"
Wu Tie smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a line: "Twice the market price, absolutely fair and reasonable." β
Sima Yu subconsciously spoke: "You don't need General Huo Xiong's kindness, our grain and grass will naturally be supplied by the Cardinal Palace......
Wu Tie quickly interjected: "What if the grain and grass don't arrive in time?"
Sima Yu said angrily: "How can it not be transported in time......?
Wu Tie said slowly: "The space gate, it may not be damaged, if it is repaired, the space gate cannot be used, and you are short of food in the army......
Sima Yu and the others' faces changed miserably.
They suddenly remembered that the space gate of Dazezhou was mastered by the guy in front of them, and if he really wanted to make a ghost on the space gate, it would really cut off their food channel...... Moreover, with the grudge between them and 'Huo Xiong', he will only have a ghost if he doesn't do this.
That, that, that......
"When the time comes, it's not something that can be solved by twice the market price. Wu Tie was very naked, almost shamelessly smiling: "When people are extremely hungry, even if it is a hundred times the market price of grain, as long as there is a place to procure it, that person will be willing to spend money!"
Sima Yu raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Wu Tie's nose: "You, you, you ......"
Wu Tie suddenly yelled at Sima Yu very roughly: "What do you mean by me?
Sima Yu is just a pampered prince of the king, if you want to be suave, he can throw off a hundred streets of Wutie.
But Wu Tie suddenly released the killing intent in his body, and waved the fierce face, Sima Yu suddenly jumped back in fright, hurriedly put his hand down, and roared angrily: "Huo Xiong, you, you, you, you are simply lawless!"
"Who is lawless?" Li Qian's voice came from outside the meeting hall, and he said calmly: "This official is the highest military judge sent by the Criminal Law Department of the Military Department to Dazezhou, and this official and all the robes under his command can testify that General Huo Xiong is loyal to the country, fair and rigorous, and most law-abiding, which can be called a model for my Dajin soldiers...... The lawlessness is definitely not General Huo Xiong, but a certain uncle roaring in court, which can be called bad!"
Sima Yu, Sima Yan, Sima Hu and others were so angry that their eyes turned green, especially Sima Yu almost didn't cry.
They suddenly understood how the people they had bullied before were feeling.
How annoying it is when some people collude with each other in such shameless ways, when a military judge brazenly shields a general who has done evil!
In the past, they colluded with each other to bully others, but one day they were bullied by others in such a way...... They really wanted to look up to the sky and askβIs there still a heavenly principle? Is there still a royal law? Is the sky of this Great Jin Dynasty so dark?
Which thigh did this 'Huo Xiong' hug...... This Li Qian, which of the Great Jin magnates?
Sima Yu and the others were so aggrieved that they wanted to cry, but Wu Tie was suddenly stunned, he glanced at Pei Feng, and asked Pei Feng to supervise Sima Yu and the others in the lobby not to wander around, and then he quickly turned into a golden light and left the lobby.
Li Qian and Wu Tie left Wu Tie's mansion on their feet, and the two of them walked around the city a few times, stopped in a remote residential area in the city, looked around, and walked into an ordinary house.
In the house, an old man in a coarse cloth robe took out a jade piece from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to Wu Tie: "Two adults, this is Mr. Li's urgent news...... The matter of this secret path must be done, and the credit for this secret path must be snatched. β
Born with a face full of wind and frost, and his cultivation is only at the beginning of the Xuan Realm, he is an ordinary old man who looks like a civilian in the Great Jin Dynasty and said solemnly: "Mr. Li has said that if this secret path is successfully opened, the Great Jin Dynasty will prepare to build a new army 'Breaking Martial Army', build a large camp in the secret path, and storm the hinterland of the Great Martial God Kingdom." β
"The scale of this Broken Martial Army should surpass the Shenwu Army and be comparable to the Shenwei Army. The old man said softly: "Mr. Li hopes that General Huo Xiong will establish enough meritorious deeds in the process of opening up the secret path, and the master will push General Huo Xiong to let General Huo Xiong sit in a high position in the Breaking Army." β
Wu Tie raised his eyebrows, and said softly: "I just hated Sima Yu and the others, if I go back abruptly now, I will agree to their request......
The old man pointed to the jade piece in Wu Tie's hand: "Mr. Li's clever calculations, all kinds of countermeasures, are in it." As long as General Huo Xiong is regarded according to the law, when everything goes well. β
Wu Tie nodded vigorously, he put the jade piece on his eyebrows, and quickly read the information inside.
Then he handed the jade piece to Li Qian.
Li Qian also put the jade piece on his eyebrows and read the information inside.
The two glanced at each other, Wu Tie nodded, Li Qian rubbed his hands, and a piece of fire rose up, grinding the jade piece to pieces in front of the old man.
"This big fat sheep sent to the door is not slaughtered, and it is not slaughtered in vain. Wu Tie laughed 'hehehe', his eyes flashed with a dangerous fierce light: "Zhao Xiu wants them to deal with me......? Okay, okay, since you killed Zhao Zhe, it doesn't matter if you kill his father together. β
Snorting coldly, Wu Tie said to the old man: "Call back to Mr. Li, the Nine Turns Golden Pill promised me last time will be sent quickly." I have made a big breakthrough in the Nine Turns of Xuangong, although the realm has not been improved, but the potential of the physical body has been greatly enhanced, and the Nine Turns of the Golden Pill can greatly enhance my combat power. β
With a grin, Wu Tie said gloomily: "The Nine Turns Xuangong is wonderful, and the cultivation realm will not be improved, but it can continuously enhance the combat power of the physical body...... Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the most ingenious. In the heart of this general, he also has a grand ambition to make contributions, and I also ask Mr. Li to be more considerate. β
The old man smiled respectfully and bowed deeply to Wu Tie.
Li Qian swallowed a mouthful of spit, looking at Wu Tie with envy and a little jealousy.
It will not improve the cultivation realm, but it can continue to improve its ** combat power by refining the physical body...... Nine Turns Xuangong, this kind of ancient forbidden exercise, is really enviable and jealous.
But that's fate!
A quarter of an hour later, Wu Tie slowly returned to his mansion, he coughed, and swaggered into the meeting hall.
"Okay, okay, I've figured it out...... The Cardinal Palace, you still can't be offended, otherwise, if you are killed by the cardinal's killer one day, wouldn't you be wronged?"
"Therefore, open up the secret path, Lao Tzu will cooperate with you, seconding soldiers and horses or something, it is not a big deal, Lao Tzu himself will personally command the soldiers and horses and go with you. β
With a fierce light in his eyes called greed, Wu Tie rubbed his hands vigorously, and showed two rows of white big teeth towards Sima Yu with a smile.
"But, but, but...... The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers...... I want Lao Tzu to lead the troops to the battle, Lao Tzu is very hungry!"
Wu Tie patted his belly, looked up at the ceiling of the conference hall, and said slowly: "Especially, looking at the jewels of your lords, so many top-level defensive immortal soldiers...... Lao Tzu, as the commander of the Dazezhou State Army, is very poor, poor and miserable. β
"There are no two or three pieces...... No, five or six pieces of Nine Refining Immortal Soldier talismans...... Without one or two Heavenly Dao Divine Weapons to suppress it, Lao Tzu would not dare to follow you blindly. β
With a sigh, Wu Tie clapped his hands, and smiled at the stunned Sima Yu and the others: "Okay, Huang Yu, send off! Well, when you adults figure it out, they will naturally come to find Lao Tzu." β8)
