Chapter 61: Three Days and Four Cities
"Congratulations to Brother Chen Xian's great strength!" Outside Wei County with the Montenegrin Army, Zhang Yan personally stepped forward to congratulate him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info If it weren't for the fact that Chen Tao was already a master of the foundation building period, and there was Xu Hui in the foundation building period by his side, I am afraid that he would not be so close.
He is also at the peak of Qi cultivation now, and he is one step away from entering the foundation building period, so he doesn't need to be afraid. However, among the remaining henchmen in the Black Mountain Army, there is no existence that has reached this height, so there is no doubt that Chen Tao is a little more jealous.
"This time I was able to succeed so smoothly, thanks to my brother's help! The things promised before are still valid, and at the same time, when the brother prepared a gift for the elder brother first, I hope not to laugh. Chen Tao smiled, it was his subordinates who sent the things.
It was a pair of Yan Ling armor, although it was only a low-grade magic weapon, it was better than the high-grade mortal weapon on Zhang Yan's body now. In addition, the appearance looks majestic, and the pronunciation of geese and swallows is similar, Zhang Yan also likes it very much.
"You and my brother, why do you need to be so polite? If you need it again in the future, just say hello! Although Zhang Yan was polite, he still ordered someone to accept this set of armor.
This time, he was not ashamed, but he wasted some food, but the benefits he got after were seventy percent of the materials in the two counties. This set of goose feather armor is even more unexpected. At this stage, he and Chen Tao have no entanglement of interests, and the two sides naturally have to maintain a good relationship.
After some politeness, Chen Tao set up a banquet in Yecheng that night to entertain Zhang Yan and a group of Montenegrin leaders. The next day, Zhang Yan and the others were full of wine and food, and began to return with supplies.
Chen Tao did not stay idle, and directly appointed Zhao Feng as the manager of the Yecheng stronghold, and Yin Ping as the manager of the Weixian stronghold, leading the government affairs of the two strongholds. At the same time, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao were also recruited by him as deputies for the two strongholds.
Fu Zhu had just taken refuge and temporarily served as Xin Ping's deputy, mainly managing the government affairs of the state-related strongholds, while Xin Ping, as the chief consul, assisted Chen Tao in managing the government affairs of the three bases. Gao Ran and Zheng Yan were transferred to Wei County, and their current task was to collect and reorganize the Wei County's army; Zhang He was stationed in Sheguo County to guard this rear for Chen Tao; Yang Feng and Bai Hao were stationed in Yecheng, and they were also the troops that reorganized Yecheng.
Chen Tao himself took Zhao Yun and Xu Hui, as well as 2,000 troops, and directly killed the stronghold of Liangqi and Wu'an. The former is just north of Yecheng, but it is only a dozen kilometers away and can be reached in a few hours. The latter is only forty kilometers away from the Liang period, which is not too far.
Of course, the two places are closer, or the city of Handan where Zhao Guozhi was located, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was already in ruins, and after two catastrophes, it was already a real ghost town, except for the broken tiles, no one lived there anymore.
The Liang period was a small stronghold, with a population of about 5,000 people, all of whom lived in the county seat. used to be mainly attached to Han Fu, but he was an existence that listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement. Chen Tao won the battle against Han Fu, and arrived outside the city of Liang in the afternoon of the next day to propose surrender, and the chief Lu Kuang personally went out of the city to surrender, and Chen Tao's soldiers occupied Liang Qi without blood.
Lu Kuang lowered his status to be a steward, worshiped Chen Tao as the main thing, and took out most of the materials in the city as a meeting gift. Chen Tao did not accept it, but bought it as a spar, and Lu Kuang couldn't help but bow to Chen Tao with a group of subordinates, shouting his benevolence and righteousness.
Liang Qicheng is not worried, the only thing to worry about is the Wu'an stronghold.
According to the information obtained, Han Rong, the head of the Wu'an stronghold, is not simple, and it seems that he has already entered the congenital, and in the past, he was even mixed with the title of Hebei Gun King. However, he is already in his fifties, and he is afraid that the word 'old' will be added in front of his name.
It's just that Chen Tao knows that the congenital physique is completely different from the acquired, and Han Rong is afraid that he will still not be easy to mess with.
After resting overnight in the Liang period, Chen Tao led his troops to kill the Wu'an stronghold the next day. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the army had already arrived at the city of Wu'an, and Han Rong personally took three thousand soldiers out of the city to meet the battle.
"Master Chen, you're still here!" Han Rong seemed to have expected it, and looked at Chen Tao with a complicated expression and shouted.
"Old Gun King, since Chen has already defeated Yecheng and Wei County, and has made a forced landing in the Liang period, there is no way to let Wu'an hang out uncontrollably! There are not many people in Wu'an, there are more than 10,000, and there are more than 3,000 soldiers who can fight. Now that China has experienced two catastrophes, and the population is not large, why bother killing each other? Old gun king, for the sake of the common people in the world, please let it go early! Chen Tao shouted awe-inspiringly.
As an aggressor, he could still let others give up resistance so dignified, Han Rong really scoffed at this. But there is no way to refute anything, if you really want to fight, many people will naturally die, and now the population of China has thinned, and I don't know if there will be more disasters in the future, there is really no way to continue internal friction.
"Anyway, as long as you Chen Tao can win the spear in Han's hand, Wu An will listen to your dispatch in the future!" Han Rong gestured at the spear in his hand, but the pride of being a martial artist was completely revealed at this moment.
"Well, since the old gun king is willing to advise, Chen will come over to meet you! Even if he is pointing, then Chen will not need a poisonous needle, and use a big knife to walk with the old gun king! Chen Tao shouted, the knife turned back to its original size, and even the knife burned with raging flames, and he didn't know that it was mortal at a glance.
Han Rong couldn't help but be annoyed, this Chen Tao was simply planning to rely on his divine weapon to bully him with an old bone! But it's hard to refute anything, the other party doesn't use poison needles to give him face, and the rumored poison needles of Chen Tao are afraid that even the masters of the foundation building period may be poisoned.
This is also the rumor that Chen Tao deliberately let out, anyway, there is no way to hide it, so why hide it. Just look at the main things around him, and they are afraid of his deadly flying needle and dare not provoke, this is the best result.
Han Rong is a congenital general, and it is indeed unkind to bully a qi practitioner in close combat, and it is not good to talk about other people's weapons. The two sides fought together in a short time, relying on the agility and sharpness of marksmanship, coupled with so many years of actual combat experience, but Chen Tao failed to return several times in a rush attack, but was almost counterattacked by the other party.
Fortunately, Chen Tao is not easy to bully, the Wind Charm is used directly, plus the Weakness Spell reduces Han Rong's combat effectiveness, the Giant Force Spell and the Rigid Body Spell increase his strength and defense, a big knife has no return, only attacking but not defending, but in the end, Han Rong can only defend and not attack.
After hundreds of moves on both sides, Chen Tao finally found an opportunity, and slashed down with all his strength, directly slashing at the spear. In the end, the equipment was much better than the opponent, and the spear was directly split in half.
Seeing this, Han Rong couldn't continue to insist, so he had to throw aside this old partner who had been with him for a long time, knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Thank you for the mercy of the lord!" ”
Chen Tao was very happy when he saw Han Rong coming up, and thousands of people helped him up, and said cordially: "Don't be like this, the old gun king, I'm afraid that Chen will rely on you more in the future." As for this spear, and send it to the Refining Weapon Pavilion, the Zhao Pavilion Lord will help refine it, and it can't be refined into a high-grade magic weapon! ”
"Han Rong is grateful!" Hearing this, Han Rong couldn't help but get excited and saluted again.
At this point, the Wu'an stronghold also announced its surrender, Chen Tao fell into four cities in three days, and his prestige suddenly spread.
P.S: It's the end of the two shifts, and I thought I could only have one shift today......
