Chapter 35: Han Fu Comes to Find Fault
In the Han Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, even the demon Dong Zhuo did not dare to approach here easily, unless it was a big court meeting or was summoned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the surface, he is naturally the owner of the demon army, but in fact, he knows that he is just a dog that has been raised. But compared to being a dog for those eunuchs, he felt honored to be a dog for the one in front of him.
In the void, a head floated, but below the body was a torso with black demonic energy. Even so, the head actually remained alive, and at this moment, he looked at Dong Zhuo in anticipation.
"Found something?" The head suddenly spoke.
"Tell Your Majesty that the torso has been found, but the hands and feet have not been found." Dong Zhuo replied in a panic.
"I've already helped you unify the Guannai, what did you tell me at the time?" The head asked, a little angrily.
"It's not that subordinates don't do their best, but that they are difficult to act with many obstacles." Dong Zhuo returned tremblingly.
"Say! The explanation is not clear, you know the consequences! The head pondered for a moment before saying to Dong Zhuo.
"In the Hanzhong area, there is the Heavenly Master Dao that hinders us from entering Sichuan; The Han Soul Great Array located in the Tiger Prison Pass is still strong, and we can't break through and go east; In the Jingzhou area, there are disciples of the Lang Evil Palace to block it, so that we can't go out of Nanyang and invade Kanto; There are many strong people in other places, who have obtained the dragon treasure of the puppet emperor Liu Bang, and their strength has been greatly enhanced, so that the sporadic troops sent out cannot effectively complete His Majesty's task at all. Dong Zhuo told the truth.
"Hmm...... It seems that those little zombies and skeleton monsters are really useless...... Where is my torso now? The head pondered for a moment, then looked up.
"This is for Your Majesty!" Dong Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sent someone to bring things over.
The four Mao Stiff quickly brought a box up, and it took them more than ten days from Julu County, Jizhou for this box, and finally transferred here through Bingzhou.
"Unboxing!" The head shouted, and the stiffeners immediately opened the box tremblingly.
I saw a human torso, and it stopped directly inside. Obviously, this box is very old, but it is amazing that this torso has no intention of rotting at all.
The black arm of the skull stretched out, picked up the body, and placed it under the skull. Miraculously, the interface between the head and the body healed so quickly, as if they had never been separated.
"Hahaha, the body is back in place, and the demonic energy that I can mobilize has increased again!" The head looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on going one step further!" Dong Zhuo and the surrounding civil and military ministers congratulated one after another.
"If I dominate Huaxia, you should be a dragon hero!" The head laughed, but the ministers had to bow again.
"Go back and cultivate well, I will increase the rift in the Nine Demon Abyss in six months, and then there will be more and more powerful demon armies coming to this world. If you can't find Qi Zhen's limbs at that time, you should know the consequences! The head dropped one last word, and turned away.
The ministers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and left. Thinking that there will be another batch of demon armies in the world in a few months, many people can't help but feel bitter in their hearts. Compared with Dong Zhuo, an old dog, many people are forced to join the demon army, just thinking about which hero can destroy the demon army one day, and they can be whitewashed.
But now that this trend is coming, is the demon army really going to dominate the world? If so, the family's choice must change!
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
When Chang'an City was turbulent, the Kwantung princes found that there were fewer and fewer zombies and skeleton monsters under their rule, and the winged demons disappeared completely. However, it was already winter, and it was impossible to expand externally, so it could only actively train troops and wait for the beginning of spring to send troops.
Chen Tao also occupied the stronghold of the country for two months, during which he used up the inventory of the Montenegrin Army through the spar trade. In addition, there is no trace of the demon army, and it is impossible to continue to obtain hedrons.
Fortunately, they had already bought what they wanted, and they did not trade further, but silently trained their soldiers, intending to continue to expand the territory of the Black Mountain Army after the beginning of spring.
Among the state-related strongholds, the winter wheat harvest has just been completed, and a lot of wasteland has been opened during the period, and Chen Tao has booked a batch of vegetables and cotton planting next year. As long as the cotton is harvested, the cotton clothes and quilts can naturally be made out, and when the time comes, there will be something to keep out the cold in winter, and it will no longer be so passive.
In the supermarket system, the reserve of spars once reached more than 60,000, which is far from the upgrade conditions. Regarding the expensive upgrade cost of this profiteer system, Chen Tao was also completely speechless.
The inventory of the Black Mountain Army had almost been depleted by him, so he set his sights on other forces, such as Han Fu on the Yecheng side. is the nominal Jizhou assassin history, and it is said that even his own country-related stronghold is under his rule.
But in these years, who would dare to use their previous official position to show off their might?
It is rumored that Gong Jing, the assassin of Qingzhou, planned to order the Quanzhou stronghold in the name of the assassin history, and finally Guan Hai, who occupied Jinan, led the people to destroy his stronghold, and Kong Rong, the head of the Beihai stronghold as an ally, did not send troops to rescue him.
The new market has sent people to trade a few times, but the amount is not large, and it is obviously difficult for them to get any more hedrons. The spars that have been traded a few times, I am afraid that they are obtained in other strongholds, after all, there is a big difference in the price that can be made by trading here in Chen Tao.
During this period, Chen Tao also asked Zhang Shiping to pay attention to the Hanchang stronghold, and the latest news sent back was that Sun Li sent troops to capture the Anxi stronghold, which was also a deserted stronghold, only a few refugees lived there, and it was normal to be captured.
Sun Li, who controlled the two counties in this way, has expanded his power a lot, and I heard that there are already more than ten third-rate generals under his command, and he can be regarded as a potential warlord.
Only Chen Tao knows that the more than ten third-rate generals in this guy are only afraid that they were won over or spawned by the "Haoran Decision" sent out by themselves, right? However, Sun Li is inevitably a little excessive, you must know that the five hundred halberds and three hundred iron cavalry in Xinshi City are all real third-rate generals, Zhang Shiping has not yet been arrogant, he has more than ten third-rate generals, is it worth being proud of?
When winter arrived as scheduled, Chen Tao bought a lot of poultry appearances, made a batch of down jackets, and distributed them to officers and ruling officers, and of course assembled an additional batch of caravans to trade spars for him to other strongholds.
In these years, the winter is much colder than in later generations, and people dare not go out easily. Due to the lack of cold protection measures and the inability to keep up with nutrition, many elderly or young children will not be able to hold on at this time.
Fortunately, on the side of the country-related stronghold, Chen Tao has prepared a large amount of fuel for a large amount of logging, and at the same time, he has built a fire kang, so that even if the people do not have warm clothes, they can live comfortably on the kang for a night.
Zhang He and Xin commented that they got down jackets, and after trying them on, they found that it was indeed very warm, and they were immediately grateful for Chen Tao's intimacy. It's not obvious or noticeable, but loyalty has increased.
The caravan began to take effect, and they brought a lot of supplies, especially luncheon meat or compressed dry food, to other strongholds to trade, and those strongholds really lacked such things, so they exchanged for a lot of hedrons.
went on like this repeatedly, and directly walked through all the strongholds around Shiguo, and finally collected 100,000 spars for Chen Tao. He didn't upgrade the system immediately, but exchanged a large number of elixir spirit stones to assist in cultivation. Occasionally, some temporary subordinates were rewarded for their duties, which greatly increased their enthusiasm and work efficiency.
If you can't improve your strength, you can't use good things, in line with this idea, Chen Tao concentrated on cultivation. It's just that from the beginning of the fourth layer, the cultivation speed began to decline, and with a large number of spirit stones and pills, there was no way to advance by leaps and bounds. Fortunately, after two months, he has also reached the sixth level of qi training, and the spell is much more proficient.
As the so-called characters fight the tiger, the tiger hurts people's hearts. He wasn't going to deal with anyone else, but someone hit him with an idea. has the ability, naturally it is the great Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu!
It turned out that during this time, the caravan kept coming and going to Yecheng, trading tens of thousands of spars for him, and he had exhausted all his savings. Without spars, there is naturally no way to trade, and Han Fu is reluctant to trade gold with gold, and he is suddenly anxious.
There is still a lot of food shortage for the winter, and at the same time, he also needs a lot of weapons and armor for the strategy of starting the spring. In desperation, I could only say my thoughts when I was in the council and see what the subordinates below planned.
"My lord, since there are so many good things in that state-related stronghold, why don't you let them pay taxes?" Guan Chun proposed.
"Why should they pay me taxes if they don't listen to me?" Han Fu smiled bitterly, if this was so simple, his Jizhou assassin history would not only affect the area from Yecheng to Wei County.
"The lord is the assassin of Jizhou, since the other party does not pay taxes, then we naturally have an excuse to annex them!" Guan Chun laughed.
Guan Chun and Geng Wu are both second-rate generals, and the entire Yecheng force has 300 third-rate generals and 5,000 soldiers.
I heard that there are only 2,000 guards on the side of the country, and the leader Chen Tao is only the age of a weak crown, and the generals under his command are all under the age of thirty, no matter how strong the strength is, can they withstand the attack of Yecheng?
As long as the country is brought down, then the materials they hoard will naturally be as much as they want!
"What do you think?" Han Fu looked at the strategist, a strategist in his twenties was thinking about something.
"Lord, the subordinates just want the other party to think that there is no shortage of weapons and armor, and there are better weapons and armor, so it is possible to sell things that are not very good......" Fu Zhi also expressed his concerns.
"What if there's something good?" Guan Chun was disdainful of this white-faced and beardless descendant, "Good things also depend on the people who use them." The state-related stronghold knew that it was just Chen Tao who snatched it from Yu Poison in Montenegro. The soldiers were even more of a rabble who had surrendered. In addition to worrying about other Black Mountain thieves coming to support, in just two months, I really don't believe that they can train an army of a hundred battles! ”
There was too little information at hand to give a satisfactory answer. The most important thing is that Guan Chun's statement is also very reasonable, and the key is that the greed in Han Fu's heart is becoming more and more uncontrollable.
"The two generals immediately went down to arrange for the sons and daughters to practice, and after the beginning of spring, they quickly recovered the stronghold of the country while they did not react! However, it is not that we can't give them a chance, tell Chen Tao to send 50,000 stone of grain, 3,000 spears, and 1,000 ring-headed knives over, even if I advance ten years of taxes! Han Fu waved his hand and made a decision.
Ten years of tax advances, he was embarrassed to say it! Who has so many things these days, and this is not clear to embarrass others?
