Chapter 40: Liu Xin's return
The two sides faced each other, but the soldiers below still calmly cleaned the battlefield. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
If the corpse is left for a long time, it is easy to be infected by the demonic qi and turn into a purple zombie, and under normal circumstances, the fallen soldiers will be disarmed and taken off and burned. Chen Tao sent people to clean up the battlefield, but they did not stop it.
Most of these dead were his soldiers, even if they were a bit of enemy soldiers, but they were not of much value. On the contrary, they broke through the enemy's headquarters and intercepted the opponent's baggage, and those were the big ones.
Unbeknownst to them, after being dragged to the rear, more than half of these fallen soldiers actually took the initiative to stand up, and then, with the help of other refugees, washed the blood stains and dirt on their bodies with warm water, and quickly returned to the establishment.
originally planned to give Han Fujun a big gift, but he didn't want Zhang Yan to arrive in advance, so the plan had to be changed.
These soldiers came to the front one after another, standing behind Chen Tao. Seeing the appearance of this group of soldiers, Zhang Yan couldn't help but look up to Chen Tao, thinking that this was Chen Tao's prepared backhand.
Those third-rate generals have no way to release their internal strength, otherwise, four hundred third-rate generals will be enough to make Zhang Yan jealous. It's a pity that at this stage, even if you want him to be afraid, you can't do it.
The low-end combat power is not useless, but at this time, Chen Tao knew that if he wanted to show his muscles to make Zhang Yan retreat, he had to use high-end strength to deter him.
He motioned to Zhang He and Gao Ran, as well as the Xin brothers, who released both their internal strength and true qi.
Zhang Yan was confident and planned to annex this stronghold, but he didn't want to say it Not long after he said it, Chen Tao didn't reply, but he found two monks who practiced qi above the fourth level, and two martial artists above the second rate who released their momentum.
What immediately made him even more afraid was that Chen Tao actually released his momentum, which was definitely beyond the middle stage of qi refining and reaching the late stage, that is, the momentum of more than seven layers of qi refining.
Even if it is Zhang Yan, he is only at the sixth level of Qi cultivation now, and this is still the relationship between cultivating the Demon Cultivation Technique. Seeing that Chen Tao released a coercion stronger than him, he couldn't help but feel jealous.
"The alliance leader is too worried, although Chen is not talented, he can still do it if he holds one side. This time, everyone came from afar to support, Chen is grateful, if you don't dislike it, Chen has prepared a little wine and food in the city, and please appreciate your face? Chen Tao smiled with a smile.
Zhang Yan was speechless, the other party took the initiative and directly called him an ally, so it was naturally reminding him of the alliance. In fact, it was more of a reminder to the other Black Mountain bandit leaders about the alliance.
It is true that Chen Tao is not the old man of the Montenegrin Army, but he has already joined the Montenegrin Army and is the leader of one side. In terms of status, like them, they are allies of this alliance.
Today, Zhang Yan can annex him under the pretext, so tomorrow he can naturally annex them under the pretext. It may be a joke, but it's not impossible. Therefore, as long as the leaders are not blinded by righteousness, they have to take this possibility seriously.
"Haha, it's naturally best to have good wine and good food, I've been eating dry food and meat for the past month, and I'm tired of it!" Huang Long first stated his position and dismounted in front of Chen Tao.
"Don't talk about Brother Huang, even Yang is looking forward to it!" Yang Feng also dismounted and said with a smile.
Not to mention that half of the leaders chose to go to the banquet, and many were waiting, and in the end, Zhang Yan had no choice but to dismount and bow to Chen Tao and said: "Since Leader Chen is so gracious, then the leader of this alliance is disrespectful." ”
"It is also Chen's honor to be rewarded by the leader of the alliance." Chen Tao will naturally take care of Zhang Yan's face problem.
Zhang Yan spoke, and other leaders who watched or disdained also followed Chen Tao into the county seat of Sheguo one after another. After this time, Chen Tao probably understood that the entire Montenegrin Army was actually divided into three factions: the Huanglong faction, the wait-and-see faction and the Zhang Yan faction.
Huang Long heard that he was Zhang Niujiao's old brother and represented the interests of the old Montenegrin army; The Zhang Yan faction is a group of young leaders, representing the interests of the young faction; In the end, the wait-and-see faction was flattering on both sides, like grass on the wall, and their position was not stable.
The banquet was indeed good, Chen Tao spent a lot of spars to buy a lot of materials, especially the spirits, which were openly supplied. Many people drink this spirit for the first time and fall in love with it immediately.
"Brother Chen Xian, you are not kind, you actually let us drink such a good wine, how can I drink that water again in the future?" Huang Long had unconsciously begun to be polite, and he may not have wanted to win over Chen Tao to join their old Black Mountain faction.
"Brother Chen doesn't have many bottles of spirits in his hand, and he has to exchange them for spars, so Brother Huang will spare them." Zhang Yan seemed to be joking, but in fact, he also told Huanglong Chen Tao that he was his person.
This kind of wine banquet full of intrigue, Chen Tao can be said to be really very painful. Originally, before the crossing, he was just a newcomer to society who had not graduated for a long time, and he didn't know much about the intrigue. Huang Long and Zhang Yan are two big and small foxes, which are enough for him to have a headache.
"What the alliance leader said is true, but if Brother Huang likes it, the younger brother still has some inventory, so you can give it to the elder brother." Chen Tao knew Zhang Yan's achievements in the future, so he firmly stood like him, but there was also room for the old Montenegrin military faction.
"Well said, well said!" Huang Long knew Chen Tao's position, and he didn't force anything anymore, and continued to drink after a few words of hip-hop.
"If Brother Chen is in trouble in the future, you can send someone over, everyone is an ally, and it is also appropriate to take care of each other." After Zhang Yan determined Chen Tao's position, she suddenly happily set up.
At the end of the song, everyone dispersed, and after a simple overnight stay here in Shikoku, everyone returned to their respective bases. This harvest was not bad, and a lot of food and weapons were obtained, and everyone was able to get some. The point is that there is not much to lose, and you can still earn a hearty banquet, which is a good hike!
Those small strongholds that came to support Chen Tao, Chen Tao distributed the weapons and armor seized this time, and even some food to them, they made so much money without contributing, and they were immediately grateful, and then left.
Han Fu didn't lose anything, he lost more than 3,000 soldiers, but he was sad for a quarter of an hour, so he used the excuse of helping the surrounding strongholds to garrison, and directly took over those strongholds that came to support him. A new round of conscription was carried out, and the number of non-commissioned officers under his command once reached more than 20,000.
In the end, it was the small forces that went to support Han Fu who suffered. The leader was either forced to join Han Fu's command, or was annexed to his forces, not to mention the old capital, even a small life was lost. The family was even more implicated, sold by Han Fu at a price, and then divided up by military officers and civilian officials.
After learning that his family was in distress and seeing Han Fu's face clearly, Han Juzi also announced his surrender, hoping that when Chen Tao attacked Han Fu in the future, he would act as a vanguard. If he didn't know that he couldn't beat him, he couldn't wait to go directly to Yecheng and cut Han Fu with a thousand knives!
Han Juzi is only in his twenties, he is already in the middle of the third rate, and he is also a talent, so he is naturally very happy to be loyal to Chen Tao. Naturally, he agreed to his request, and if Han Fu wanted to annex him, wouldn't he retaliate?
After appeasing Han Juzi, Chen Tao returned to his mansion. The moment he pushed the door open, he jerked ready to release the spell, only for a figure appeared in his room.
"Who?" Chen Tao asked vigilantly.
"But I haven't seen you for three months, and I forgot your senior brother and me?" The black shadow walked forward, and the moonlight shone on his face, it was Liu Xin, who had fooled Chen Tao to practice magic skills and accepted Chen Tao as his junior disciple on behalf of his teacher!
"Senior brother, why are you here, and where have you been during this time? You're really, just come directly at the main entrance, it's good, you missed a banquet. Chen Tao chattered like a machine gun, and he was indeed a little excited.
"Originally, I heard that you were in trouble, so I planned to come over to help, but who knew that I couldn't help when it came to the end. Look at those Black Mountain thieves, they seem to be a little cautious about your stronghold, so they secretly observe.
I thought I would help when I needed to, but I didn't think that in the end, I didn't help anything. It's not appropriate to come out recklessly like this, so I'm just waiting for you to come back here. Liu Xin said slightly embarrassed.
"Senior brother, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I immediately ordered to go down and prepare the food and drinks! Hearing this, Chen Tao immediately planned to turn around.
"There's no hurry, in fact, I have one more thing to tell you when I come back." Liu Xin stopped him.
"Senior brother has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, you and my senior brother have something bad to say." Chen Tao smiled and said.
"Actually, it's nothing, senior brother, I have rebuilt the Chilian Sect in Julu County, and I have already recruited the first batch of one hundred outer disciples. Now that the sect is in ruins, the senior brother can't be busy alone, so he originally planned to ask the junior brother if he was interested in becoming the deputy sect master in the past, but now it seems that it is impossible. Liu Xin said a little embarrassed.
"Isn't it possible for senior brother to come to the country to develop?" Chen Tao smiled, he naturally couldn't leave here.
"Qi practitioners, they must choose mountains with strong spiritual energy, so that they can cultivate faster. There are not many spiritual mountains, there is one on the giant deer's side, and it is still the place where Zhang Jiao cultivated back then, and it was not easy for me to find it, senior brother, and break the taboo. It's not impossible to be involved in the country, but it's relatively weak, and the difficulty of cultivation here has increased a lot. Liu Xin shook his head and said.
Chen Tao also heard the concept of Lingshan for the first time, and immediately inquired, only to know that the aura in some places will be extraordinarily strong, and cultivating here, whether it is martial cultivation or Taoist cultivation, can obtain great benefits.
These spiritual mountains are generally a good place for the various sects to compete for, and when their Chilian Sect was destroyed, it was mainly because there were sects that took a fancy to the spiritual mountains they occupied.
As for the concentration of aura, it is naturally thick or rare, and in this spiritual mountain occupied by Liu Xin, the aura is okay, at least it can increase the cultivation speed by two percent. The Red Lian Gate has just been rebuilt, and Liu Xin is now only an eighth-level Qi cultivator, so he can only do this first. In the future, if you cultivate and improve, you will consider changing to a better spiritual mountain.
If it's only two percent, Chen Tao is really not interested, he has enough spars to exchange for spirit stones, and one spirit stone can help him increase his cultivation speed by fifty percent, and it lasts for half an hour. As long as there are enough spirit stones, even if you cultivate anywhere, the effect is better than cultivating in that spirit mountain.
Chen Tao didn't go, and Liu Xin couldn't help it, so he immediately said goodbye, only saying that he could go to Julu for help if he needed it in the future. Chen Tao also told him that if he was in trouble in the future, he could come to him for help. At the same time, he sent out a bottle of ten spiritual energy pills, as well as the long sword of the low-grade magic weapon and the wind boots of the low-grade magic weapon to Liu Xin.
Where has Liu Xin seen something at the level of a magic weapon, and when he got the benefit, he naturally sighed that he was looking for a generous junior disciple for his master. In the end, he didn't say much, put on his things, threw his hand towards Chen Tao, and then left quickly.
P.S: The end of the year is actually a very painful thing...... The overtime work continued, and the weekends did not escape...... Part-time jobs can't afford to hurt......
