Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Hands of the Clouds and the Rain
Ten minutes later, the soldiers and students in the field retreated cleanly.
The fragmented Shadao people were still bubbling black smoke, and the smell was too great, and Xintianyou walked towards the limelight in disgust.
Shi Jian, the general of Zhennan, lowered his head and followed two meters away, not daring to look directly.
At noon, the sun is shining.
On the second day of February, we entered the middle of spring. The snow in the north has not yet melted, and the grass in the south is green. And the hot summer has not yet arrived, which is a rare cool and comfortable time of the year.
After a fierce fight and chase, Shi Jian put on his helmet and armor and pestled in the sun for a long time, and gradually became hot. I was surprised to find that the closer I got to the masked boy, the cooler I felt.
Before he could figure out what was going on, Xintianyou stopped and spoke coldly.
"General Shi, don't spread today's matter."
Shi Jian hurriedly said:
"Real person, those 1,000 people just now are Shi's henchmen and soldiers, and they will never confide a word to the outside world."
"Within a month, is there a way to gather 10,000 catties of salt, 1,000 loads of grain, 300 pieces of cloth, and several carts of iron medicine and send them to the previous tribe."
"Real person, Shi promises to complete it in half a month. Grain and salt can be directly transferred from the warehouse of the camp in the south of the town. Iron tools and medicine are easy to collect on the market. However, after the 300 pieces of cloth are sent to the mountain, they need to be cut and made, so it is better to buy the clothes directly. The ripe fans in Qiyun City account for nearly one percent, there are forty or fifty thousand people, and the costumes are ready-made. ”
"Very good, you are a delicate person."
Xie Zhenren praised him, and Shi was ashamed. Willing to saddle the horse before and after, the liver and brain are smeared ......"
"Hmph, if I want you to rebel against the court, you dare to rebel?"
Shi Jian froze when he heard this, a cold sweat the size of a soybean broke out on his forehead, and after ten breaths, he gritted his teeth and said, anti!
"Oh, why?"
"If Shi doesn't rebel, he will definitely be clicked by a real person's copper coin. What's more, the Xiaoshui Sword Sect didn't want to see Shi. It's better to follow a real person, but you can fight for a background. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Among the three kingdoms of Zeng, Zhou, and Hua of the Xiaoshui Sword Sect, the Heaven and Earth Yuan of Huaguo is the most barren and is not taken seriously. The vitality in Qiyun County is even more thin to almost nothing. Martial artists lack vitality cultivation and have difficulty in advancing. Any child of a family who has a little way will never come...... Therefore, among the armies of the Chinese State, the Zhennan Army has the lowest combat power and the least status. The thousand-person team just now was Shi's personal soldier, and it was barely majestic and bright. Most of the soldiers' armor was torn, their blades were old, and there was no way to replace them. ”
"Hey, didn't you hunt grass valley and make a lot of gold and silver?"
"The commander of the Zhennan Army has changed like a marquee. After taking office, every one will try his best to loot money to bribe the court officials in order to get out of here. Where does it matter how the army is disposed of, whether the soldiers live or die? ”
"Oh, that's right...... Fifteen years ago, at the beginning of summer, why did the imperial court increase troops to the camp in the south of the town to crusade against Shengfan? You go into detail and don't leave anything out. ”
"True person, Shi will never dare to hide it in the slightest...... Shengfan did not obey the royal law, and fought and made peace with the imperial court for thousands of years. More than 20 years ago, the then scholar of the Hanlin Academy, who is now Xiangguo Guo Chunhai Guo, proposed the method of naturalization. Villages and towns were established on the edge of Yunshan, trade was opened, and the Fan people were allowed to settle in the interior. As a result, more and more ripening crops have been ripened, and there have been no large-scale conflicts for several years......"
It's a long story.
Fifteen years ago, Shi Jian was only a partial general of the Zhennan Army, and the main general was Pan Zhong.
At the beginning of summer, two mages suddenly entered the Zhennan General's Mansion. I don't know what to talk about, anyway, Pan Zhong immediately dispatched five hundred personal soldiers to follow them into the mountain.
Who knows, as soon as the five hundred soldiers entered the mountain, they clashed with Shengfan. After slaughtering one of the other party's stockades, he was also killed cleanly. Only a few dozen soldiers absconded, and the two mages were privately searching for a newborn baby.
The previous king was furious and sent troops to attack Lushui County.
The imperial court urgently increased the southern camp of the town.
This was the beginning of the war, and the scale was getting bigger and bigger.
In the third year of the tug-of-war, Pan Zhong lured the former king out of the mountain and fought a decisive battle on the plain outside Qiyun City.
In this battle, almost all the elites of Shengfan were annihilated, and only more than 3,000 of the 20,000 people were left to flee back. The previous king was killed in battle, and the tribe has been in ruins.
Pan Zhong died of a poisonous arrow that sealed his throat with blood, and the deputy general took his place and went into the mountains to clear it.
One dozen, another twelve.
Whenever the "naturalization faction" in the imperial court prevailed, Zhao'an would be stopped. Ke Shengfan suffered heavy casualties, formed a deep blood feud, and resolutely refused to surrender.
When the "main battle faction" gained the upper hand, the Zhennan army attacked on a large scale and cut down the grass and eradicated the roots.
Yunshan has a vast area and complex terrain, and tens of thousands of people can't see a shadow at all. The previous army is getting weaker and weaker, the population is getting smaller and smaller, and it is no longer fighting with the Zhennan army. When I see you pooping and hiding, I will sneak attack when I see you tired.
As a result, the total removal is not clean.
As we advance deeper into the mountains, soldiers go missing. Especially six years ago, a whole team of 1,000 people disappeared inexplicably, and everyone was terrified.
Yunshan bandits have been reduced to a bottomless pit and a big joke.
The government and the opposition were so tired that they couldn't swallow it, and they couldn't abandon it.
The naturalization faction rebuked the Zhennan army as a group of barbaric butchers, and the main battle faction thought that they were ineffective.
In short, grandma is not close, and uncle is not in pain.
The Zhennan battalion has been reduced from 35,000 at its peak to 12,000 now. It has not been replenished with troops, and the equipment and treatment are also the worst among the armies.
Shi Jian was promoted to the chief general, and he had nothing to do for two years.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of this year, he suddenly received a secret order from the military department. At all costs, be sure to wipe out the former part before the autumn solstice.
His skull is big......
……
From Shi Jian's narration, Xintianyou vaguely saw a hand that turned over the clouds and rain.
Who can order the commander of an army to send his own soldiers to escort the mage into the mountain?
At all times, war is the most costly way to solve problems. The previous king retaliated against the Zhennan army for slaughtering the village and attacked Lushui County, and the situation was not serious. If the imperial court appeases it, it is very likely that peace will be negotiated.
Who terminated the "naturalization" policy and sent troops to eliminate it without talking about it?
Even today, Guo Chunhai, the leader of the naturalization faction, is the prime minister, but he still can't turn the situation back. The former division of more than 60,000 people was slaughtered to only 5,000, who still refused to let them go, and issued the order to exterminate the clan before the autumn solstice?
Hmph, whoever he is!
Xin Tianyou sneered and said:
"Stretch out your palms, breathe, and enter the dantian."
Shi Jian didn't know what to do, so he stood up his palm, and was flicked in the palm of his hand by a finger.
Suddenly, his whole body shook and he collapsed to the ground. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck the Lao Gong acupoint, exploding in the meridians, burning like a line of fire.
"It's over, I'm dead!"
He wailed in his heart, barely closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, trying to carry the breath in his body to Zhou Tian. But I felt that my energy had skyrocketed, and the speed of the true qi rotation had suddenly accelerated. There is a faint cyclone forming in the lower dantian, which is much more pure and condensed than in the past.
The sixth layer of the Secret Realm, which has been stumbling for many years, is about to break through ......
Shi Jian trembled with excitement, and his eyes were filled with tears.
After a few minutes, he got up and wanted to bow his head, but he couldn't find anyone.
Xintianyou left early.
A general who is subdued cannot be intimidated alone. You have to slap a date, and the carrot and stick are on it together.
The martial artist's force and the monk's mana are essentially realized through the release of energy from true qi.
Although Xintianyou does not have a spiritual root, it cannot absorb the vitality of heaven and earth. But a little bit of energy explosion can incinerate the impurities in the martial artist's true qi, which is equivalent to purification.
When he returned to the inn at about two o'clock, he didn't see Ma Cuihua and Dong Shumin, so he led the horse and set off again.
The blockade of the Zhennan Army and the martial law of the government were lifted at noon. The streets and alleys quickly returned to their bustle, as if nothing had happened.
People exchanged heads and looked relaxed.
Some say that the bandits are ambushed, and some say that they have fled into Yunshan...... There is even more bizarre, saying that the Nether Bell has appeared and jumped down from the bell tower......
Through two days of wandering, Xintianyou has an understanding of Qiyun City. Riding his horse to the east of the city, he turned into a gambling house halfway through.
He needs money for a while, but there is only a copper plate left on him, what should he do?
It's a nice place.
It is said that the people inside are generous, generous, and generous, and like to give generously the most, without asking for anything in return.
