Chapter 240: Demon Meat
With the two culprits of Wolf and Captain Bian dead, the remaining wolf demons and bat spirits either surrender on their knees or run for their lives with all their might.
Lin Chong left a force of 5,000 soldiers and horses to Xu Shu to take care of the prisoners, and he and Yan Chixia continued to chase and kill the defeated army with an army of 10,000.
In the middle of the day, Lin Chong and Yan Chixia were talking and laughing, escorting thousands of captives back, looking at the neat corpses of wolf demons, and said coldly: "It's already noon, since these wolf demons treat the human race as blood food, then we will eat it today." ”
"The herald will skin these wolf demons, dismantle the bones and stew them in the pot, leave the wolf skins, wolf teeth and wolf claws back to the Ministry of Industry, maybe they can also make some weapons." Lin Chonglang said.
Hearing these words, the soldiers suddenly looked at these wolf demons with fiery eyes, in recent days, they have felt more and more that the weapon is a little lagging behind, and the damage to the demons and monsters is a little small, if these wolf claws and wolf teeth can really create weapons that hurt the demons and monsters, then wouldn't the credit be rolling in.
Soon, one wolf demon after another was skinned and torn apart, and roasted on the fire, so that the soldiers could eat their stomachs.
After eating this wolf meat feast, all the soldiers suddenly felt feverish, as if they had taken a great tonic medicine, and they couldn't help but start to play long fists to stretch their muscles and bones.
Seeing this, Lin Chong couldn't help but look greedily at all the wolf demon captives, where are these captives, they are completely a bunch of magic medicines.
Time passed bit by bit, it was pouring rain in the sky, the rain was pouring overhead, and all the soldiers were smoking above their heads, and after tea time, the army finally digested the benefits brought by these wolf demons, Lin Chong no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the army to return to Shangyang City with prisoners and wolf skins and other things.
Due to the escort of tens of thousands of captives, the army returned to Shangyang City two days later, and placed the soldiers in the camp, and the celebration banquet that had been prepared was immediately put on the table, and then Lin Chong and the five people immediately got up and went to the handsome tent to meet Wang Jun.
Wang Jun also put on a celebration banquet in the handsome tent, and when Lin Chong and the five people sat down, Wang Jun raised his glass and said: "The army defeated the water tribe and took Shangyang City, and today it is to sweep away the remnants of Shangyang. ”
As he spoke, he poured the wine from the wine on the ground, and the others hurriedly poured it on the ground in the same way.
"This second glass of wine, to all of you, I hope you can make persistent efforts and never be stingy with rewards." Wang Jun said to everyone with a wine lord.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wang Jun took the lead in leaving the tent, and soon after leaving, the oppressive atmosphere in the tent was relieved, the military generals began to fight wine, and the civil officials also played the wine order.
The next day, Wang Jun met with Lin Chong and several people in the tent, awarded the reward to the five people, and asked Lin Chong to briefly describe the process of the war.
Lin Chong immediately explained everything from the beginning of the mountaineering to the killing of the mess, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the last general found that the soldiers of our army ate the demon clan, which is no less than taking a great tonic medicine, and the last general suggested that the demon clan should be killed on a large scale and have enough military food." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was moved, if the demon clan really had the same effect as the elixir, it could be said to be of great use to the army of the Great Qian, and it could completely replace the elixir to a certain extent.
Wang Jun turned his head to look at Xu Shu and asked, "Really?" ”
Xu Shu nodded and said: "Your Majesty's words are true, when I was in the Bajiao Mountain, the soldiers used the wolf demon to bloom, and it turned out that it was like taking tonics, and it was a great gain for qi and blood, and internal qi. ”
If it was just Lin Chong who said this, Wang Jun would still have doubts, but even Xu Shu said so, it should be the real thing, nodded and said: "Our army is changing now...."
"Wait, Your Majesty." Just as Wang Jun was about to make a statement and set the charter, Chang Qingzi hurriedly interrupted Wang Jun's words and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report." ”
Wang Jun looked at Chang Qingzi with some confusion and asked, "What's the matter with the Dao Chief?" ”
"Your Majesty, although demon meat is said to be a great tonic, but demon meat contains demon qi and cannot be eaten more, once or twice is fine, eating too much will make people grumpy, and more serious will be mad." Changqingzi said with a serious face.
Wang Jun frowned when he heard this, if he ate demon meat, this kind of harm would occur, it would be nothing more than chicken ribs for the army, and it would be a pity to abandon it if it was tasteless.
Xi Zhicai walked out and looked at Changqingzi. He asked, "Dao Chief, if an ordinary person eats it once or twice, I don't know what the sequelae of demon meat will be?" ”
Changqingzi thought about it and said with some hesitation: "If Poor Dao is not mistaken, ordinary people will be grumpy and irritable after eating once or twice, and they will have nightmares when they sleep at night." ”
"If I stop after eating demon meat twice and never eat it again in the future, will the side effects of demon meat disappear?" Xi Zhicai asked again.
Changqingzi nodded, and said categorically: "Yes." As long as you don't take demon meat again in the short term, the side effects of taking demon meat will be reduced in a maximum of three months, and it will be eradicated in about two years. ”
"If it's a high cultivation, right?" Xi Zhicai asked again.
Changqingzi said: "If the cultivation is high, the demon qi in the demon meat can naturally be removed, but at that time, the demon meat can only satisfy the appetite." ”
Xi Zhicai nodded, turned around and hugged his fist at Wang Jun, and said: "Your Majesty, after Changqingzi's puzzle resolving, the minister has some understanding of demon meat, and those so-called side effects should be caused by demon qi, so the minister suggested that demon meat be used to train recruits. ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he agreed in his heart, the side effects of taking a small amount of demon meat are not big, and he doesn't need to care about cultivating recruits at all, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with what Lord Xi said, these demon beast meat can be used to cultivate recruits, maybe for the old pawn, these side effects may cause the Xiao camp, and the recruits have not entered the state at all, and it is just right to use these demon meat to enhance their strength." ”
Liu Ji and the others stepped forward in turn, "The ministers will reconsider." ”
Wang Jun saw that all the civil officials agreed, but the method mentioned by Xi Zhicai was really good, so he nodded and agreed: "In this case, according to what you said, except for the powerful demon king meat given to the generals, all the other demon meat is allocated to the recruits to eat." ”
Everyone hurriedly bowed in unison and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”
Wang Jun glanced around at everyone and said, "Do you have anything else to do?" ”
Zhuge Liang hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, now that everything in Shangyang City has been completed, the minister suggests that our army continue the Northern Expedition, strive to break through Yanjing as soon as possible, and capture and kill the puppet emperor." ”
"The ministers seconded the proposal." A group of civil and military officers said in unison, especially the generals who need to fight on the battlefield next, they are even more gearing up, only by fighting can they have combat achievements to be obtained, and they will get all kinds of rewards from Wang Jun.
Wang Jun thought for a moment and said: "It's no problem to continue the Northern Expedition, I want you to lead the army to fight steadily, but Gu is ready to directly raid the Yanjing Imperial City, what do you think?" ”
Since Liu Ji took refuge in the Yitian world, he has never put forward any schemes, mainly to observe Wang Jun's ability and the situation of Daqian, after this period of understanding, he thinks that Wang Jun is a Ming Jun, even if he says the wrong thing, it doesn't matter.
Hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to agree, although His Majesty's strength can be said to be the first in the world, Tianlongwei can be called the first army of the Great Cadres, but as the saying goes, the son of a daughter can't sit down."
As long as our cadres continue to walk step by footprint according to the plan, I believe that in the end, it will be our cadres who will overthrow the great detachment and unify the country. ”
According to the minister's estimation that Cihang Pudu's strength is about the same as in the phase of the law, it may not be as good as Your Majesty, but it can also be ranked among the top few in this world.
As the saying goes, there are still 3,000 nails in a broken ship, not to mention the Great Departure, which has ruled the world for more than 300 years.
If His Majesty attacks Yanjing, Cihang Pudu personally delays His Majesty, and Da Li takes out some hole cards, then our army will be able to win, and it will also be a tragic victory, and I hope Your Majesty will see it. Zhuge Liang took a deep look at Liu Ji, but he didn't think that Liu Bowen, who had always been silent in the court, was also a resourceful person, so he immediately echoed.
Wang Jun turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai and asked, "Zhicai, what do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, they agree with what they say, but the minister's reasons are different from theirs.
Dare to ask Your Majesty, is there any general in our army whose strength is comparable to Cihang Pudu? Xi Zhicai asked with a respectful expression.
Wang Jun couldn't help but think for a while in his heart, and said with some uncertainty: "One-on-one, except for being alone and invincible, if Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong are no less than twenty-eight stars and demon subduing arrays, they should be able to take Cihang Pudu." ”
"So the minister said truthfully, now Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong are not in the camp, and they cannot form a twenty-eight star demon array.
If His Majesty's surprise attack on Yanjing fails, and he fails to take down Master Cihang to escape, with Master Cihang's mind and his profound strength, he may attack the general of our army, and our army has no one to stop except His Majesty, and if it is not done well, it will suffer heavy losses, so we have to prevent this from happening.
As long as Master Cihang does not die for a day, our army cannot relax its vigilance. But only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, with the patience that Master Cihang has shown over the years, as long as Master Cihang escapes with his life, he will definitely sneak up quietly first, and then find an opportunity to sneak attack our soldiers.
If he can't defeat the soldiers, maybe he will sneak into the world of the great cadres and hurt the people, and then it will definitely cause panic among the people of our great cadres. Xi Zhicai broke things up little by little and put them in front of Wang Jun, saying that there is only one meaning, you can't solve Cihang Pudu once and for all, so for the time being, you will be with the army first and protect the army.
After listening to the words of Xi Zhicai and the others, Wang Jun's idea of raiding Yanjing was finally dispelled, if Cihang Pudu was really allowed to escape from Yanjing and carry out a sneak attack according to Xi Zhicai's idea, he really couldn't bear it with the current strength of the big cadres, and sighed: "Okay, I'll listen to you, don't go to Yanjing for the time being, and move forward with the army." ”
Zhuge Liang and the others finally relieved themselves when they heard this, in fact, Wang Jun failed to raid Yanjing and let Master Cihang escape, and let Master Cihang come to the army to sneak attack, with their intelligence, they can also find an opportunity to capture and kill Master Cihang, but it will make the army suffer heavy losses, if it really reaches that level, they will not be merciful.
Besides, let His Majesty personally go out to capture Yanjing, wouldn't it mean that all the civil and military officials of the Great Cadres are incompetent, it is better to casually find an excuse to leave Wang Jun and not let him go to Yanjing alone.
Everyone looked at each other, a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths, and they bowed together, saying, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
Wang Jun felt a little strange when he heard this, and always felt that there was something missing, but since he no longer personally attacked Yanjing, he no longer took it to heart, and said: "Order the army to pack up and start tomorrow." ”
"Obey." Again, the crowd arrived.
Early the next morning, after the army was integrated and carrying heavy luggage, Wang Jun immediately ordered the Northern Expedition to continue.
More than 100,000 soldiers, plus the length of the heavy and other material teams were tens of miles, and due to the large number of people, coupled with the rainy weather and muddy roads, the march speed of the army was as slow as a snail.
Half a month later, the army finally arrived at the Turbid River, only to see that both sides of the Turbid River are planted with pines and cypresses, the Turbid River is four thousand miles long, about eight hundred miles wide, the river seems to be full of quicksand and looks all the earth brown, turbid, but it is full of passion, looking at the turbidity of the River, it seems that it will never reach the end.
Wang Jun stood at the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands and admired the scenery of the Turbid River, the breeze blew the hair of his sideburns, his ears moved slightly, he heard Bai Yuan's footsteps, and said, "The news that Lone asked you to go to Quicksand City to inquire about, has there been an answer?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister inquired about the county chronicles in the county office, and inquired about the news with the old man in the city, and finally found that since the record, the turbid river has always been like this, full of mud and sand.
And the tool they used to cross the river was something called a sheepskin raft, and the minister had already brought one back, and if His Majesty wanted to see it, the minister would bring it. Bai Yuan bowed and said.
Wang Jun tapped his fingers lightly on the fence and said, "That's it, there is no need for this, order the army to board the flying boat, and we will cross the river." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Bai Yuan agreed.
At this time, Dian Wei walked over, glanced at Bai Yuan, bowed to His Majesty, and said, "Lord Zhuge came with a turtle demon to ask for a meeting." ”
"Biography." Wang Jun said.
"Minister Zhuge Liang, meet Your Majesty, and wish Your Majesty immortal blessings eternal longevity in Tianqi." Zhuge Liang bowed down and reported.
"The little demon turtle of the Turbid River is eternal, meet Your Majesty, and wish Your Majesty eternal longevity and Tianqi." An old voice said slowly.
Wang Jun turned around and looked, although he had been mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised, only to see that this turtle Yongnian Zhuge Liang had a head, the whole was dark green, and the turtle head could barely see a human face, carrying his back, as if he had painted a person into a turtle, scattered into the turtle shell, and frowned: "What are you doing here?" ”
"The little demon felt that the Son of Heaven was coming to the Turbid River, so he came to take refuge, and was willing to contribute 50,000 people of the Turtle Clan to help the army cross the river." Gui Yongnian said unhurriedly.
Wang Jun raised his eyebrows, he didn't believe in Gui Yongnian's nonsense at all, but their purpose still needs to be checked, and said: "It's a guest from afar, Li Mu took Gui Yongnian to the guest room to rest for a while, and we'll talk about it later." ”。
"Honorable."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
