Chapter 192
Jinning City.
It's been a few days since Chu Jing came back.
Big things didn't happen, but a lot of small things have to be mentioned.
One of them was a slight increase in the number of troops, which had been less than 50,000 and had some losses in battle, but after conscription, the number of soldiers had reached more than 60,000.
One of the most important points is that under the situation of Chujing's planned economy, the soldiers are treated the best, they eat well, dress well, and live well, and the key is that the people in the security team dare not trouble them.
Some people who were unwilling to work as coolies and thought that Renjin City was heavily defended and that there would be no fighting, they joined the army.
On the army side, Zhou Tai has always been in charge of training, and now there are only three main generals in Renjincheng, so Chu Jing redistributed the army.
Meng Huo is mainly responsible for the Demon Beast Corps, but the Demon Beast Cavalry is one of the main development directions, and he still obtained 10,000 soldiers, in addition to the Demon Beast Riders, who are mainly responsible for wartime command and breeding tasks, compared to less than a thousand Demon Beasts, 10,000 people are already a lot, enough to cooperate with various plastic surgeries.
Yu Ban was the deputy city lord, and he was busy dealing with political affairs every day, and he didn't have many requirements for the army, so Chu Jing handed over the security team to him, as well as 10,000 city defense troops.
In the event of a war, the 10,000 city defense troops are almost useless, they are mainly responsible for the defense of Renjin City on weekdays, mainly to give Yu Ban a certain amount of military power.
The remaining 40,000 people, of which more than 10,000 recruits, were still handed over to Zhou Tai for training and command, Chu Jing felt that if he wanted to establish a country, sooner or later there would still be a war with others, and he must make every effort to improve the strength of the army.
And then there's the economy.
Although the Seventh Prince had a little unhappiness with Chu Jing, Ren Jincheng was his after all, and the two had no conflict of interest.
The Seven Princes were not stingy at all with supplies.
The war had not yet reached the southern part of the country, and all production was still as usual, and the materials were quite sufficient.
However, Chu Jing was not satisfied with the supplies provided by the Seventh Prince, and ordered Yu Ban to disable the gold, silver and jewelry that had been confiscated, and exchanged them for a large amount of food, armor and other military supplies.
Considering that Renjin City is the front line and there is a risk of being besieged at any time, the Seven Princes did not doubt it.
It was a beautiful day and a clear day, which was a rare good weather.
Chu Jing had nothing to do, but it happened that the others were also bored, so he took everyone to the suburbs for a long trip.
At this time, there are occasional rich children hunting in the suburbs, but there is no near Renjin City, because Renjin City is under martial law, and they can only enter but not leave, and people from other cities will not come so far.
Chu Jing was rarely invited, and Qin Yue, who had just received a lot of rare herbs, also put down his work and came out to play.
The three horses were walking slowly in the suburbs, the Qin family brothers and sisters rode one together, and Zirui also tried the fun of horseback riding.
"Xiao Yue, you are not bored studying herbs every day, why are you interested in this aspect?"
Chu Jing asked casually, this question has been strange to him for a long time.
Could it be that the Sand Hill Killers were all raised like this? That's too pitiful, too childless.
"Boring? Why are you boring? Do you know what I'm studying? You don't know, this is a treasure book that will cause death, I just tell you, don't say it." ”
Qin Yueshen was mysterious, secretly observing the reactions of other people, and confirmed that only Chu Jing knew about the Ten Thousand Medicine Divine Code before reassuring his heart.
She didn't know that Zirui could hear these things clearly, but the performance was too good and was not discovered.
Chu Jing nodded clearly, Qin Yue did say something similar when she used the Scattering Gong Desperate Scatter, the poison in her hand and the book that recorded the prescription were both incredible things.
Then he remembered his childhood, although there were no constraints and seemed to be free, but in fact, was it really good? If it was really good, he would not be in a hurry to grow up when he was a child.
To say how beautiful childhood is is nothing but self-deception.
Memories are good scars and forget pain, there are almost no gentlemen who take revenge after ten years, and the years can grind the vast majority, whether it is love or hatred.
"When will Yijian Yanhong come?" Qin Jian asked coldly.
Chu Jing looked at the sword in his arms and asked rhetorically, "Your strength can fight her head-on?"
"Nope. Qin Jian Dao.
"Oh, she's from the Seventh Prince's side, and as long as we push the Seventh Prince's corner, she'll definitely show up. ”
Qin Jian moved the sword in his hand for a moment, and asked again: "Are you ready to deal with the Seventh Prince?"
Tiannan Mansion not only has Lan Yanru, but also Princess Qin Yingran, the wife of Chu Jing's marriage contract, and the sister of the Seventh Prince.
"With the owner here, they'll be fine. Chu Jing paused and said, "I'll pick them up first." ”
"When?"
"Ten days from now. ”
Ten days later, Chu Jing can summon three characters below two stars, and with three more people to help, Chu Jing feels that he can go and capture a city, only one Renjin City is the territory, too small, if there are two, maybe it can be used as capital.
While speaking, the four people and three horses were already some distance away from Renjin City.
Meng Huo was training the Demon Beast Corps not far away.
Zi Rui pointed at those demon beasts and said to Chu Jing, "Are you here to show off your demon beasts to them today?"
"Haha, of course not, well, a little bit too. ”
Chu Jing looked at the Qin family brothers and sisters, the first time they met them, the two of them were surrounded by a group of blood wolves, and those blood wolves also attacked a post station, killing hundreds of people, including soldiers.
Chu Jing was not the opponent of the blood wolves at that time, he was very weak at that time, but the Qin family brothers and sisters were very strong.
If you think about it carefully, it is very likely that the blood wolf that time was attracted by the Qin family brothers and sisters, but the two of them did not admit it even now, but watched with great interest the attack method arranged by Meng Shu for the blood wolf.
Chu Jing found that Meng Shu was really a talent, worthy of being the king of the Southern Barbarians who had been defeated many times.
General Meng built a kind of shield car, which was similar to the siege car and crash car, except that it consisted of a car and a huge shield.
And the cart is not a man, nor is it a horse, but a black-backed white bear or a Tanan tiger is allowed to get into the car, and they push the shield cart inside.
The black-backed white bear is hugely powerful, and the Tanan tiger is tall, not to mention that the shield cart is still not slow under their push.
The blood wolves were hiding behind the shield carts.
Chu Jing saw through Meng Shu's thoughts at a glance: the blood wolf's defense was not high, and he was very afraid of long-range shooting with bows and arrows, but his melee combat was much stronger than that of human soldiers, so he used the shield cart to cover the blood wolf pack to advance to the front of the enemy formation, and then came out from behind the shield cart to kill the enemy.
It has to be said that if a battle takes place in a flat place, this kind of battle formation can be said to be extremely effective.
As for the uneven place, isn't it a battlefield specially designed for demon beasts, and the combat effectiveness of demon beasts in dense forests, mountains and other places can be increased by at least thirty percent.
"Brother Chu, why do those cows keep hiding behind? Aren't they very powerful? There are not many demon beasts with petrification ability. ”
Qin Yue was curious why the Savage Demon Cow didn't get involved, she had a high opinion of the Savage Demon Cow.
Chu Jing sighed and said helplessly: "The petrification distance of the Barbarian Demon Ox is too short, far closer than the distance of the archer, it is difficult to rush to the front, and the Barbarian Demon Ox is too bulky and unsuitable for galloping, and it is also difficult to train as a mount." ”
Qin Yue thought for a while and said, "Why don't you give them a piece of armor, the speed of the heavy cavalry is not fast, isn't the strength stronger?"
Chu Jing was right when he thought about it, the Savage Demon Bull is relatively slow, but the weight is very strong, as long as he creates an invulnerable heavy armor, it is completely a tank, he can rush wherever he wants, and the truth is that the light is a nirvana, not too strong.
"That's right!"
Chu Jing hugged Qin Yue and kissed her: "Xiao Yue, you are so smart, why didn't I think of it?"
Qin Yue wiped her little face in disgust, and said proudly: "It's not that I'm too smart, it's that you're too stupid, you went to the Demon Beast Domain twice to catch such a little demon beast, if you take me there, I can catch so many in one day." ”
"Lying noses can become. Chu Jing pinched Qin Yue's little nose.
"Really!"
Qin Yue shook off Chu Jing's hand, took out two small porcelain bottles, pointed at one of them and said, "This bottle is a special potion that can attract demon beasts, sometimes destroy the corpse, sprinkle a few drops on the corpse, at most half a day, there will be demon beasts to eat the corpse." ”
Then he pointed to the second one and said: "This bottle is the last time you asked me how to poison many people on a large scale at one time, I finally found a prescription and prepared it, as long as it is poured into the river, it will not flow away with the river water, and it will turn the water in an area into poisonous water, but the effect is not so strong, but it is still possible to weaken part of the combat effectiveness." ”
"As long as you pour the two potions in the place where the demon beast often drinks water, as long as you wait nearby, you will definitely get a big harvest. ”
Chu Jing didn't expect Qin Yue to have such a magical thing, could it be that the "Ten Thousand Medicine Divine Codex" she said was really so magical, and all the prescriptions on it were recorded?
Chu Jing unceremoniously handed down the two small porcelain bottles filled with potions, and now he found out that it was very necessary to communicate with Xiao Qinyue often, she was simply a treasure trove.
A few people simply stopped, took out all kinds of sundries from the mustard seed bag, spread a layer of picnic mats, and took out all kinds of delicacies, now Jinning City is under military control, and the best chefs are in the City Lord's Mansion, and the food is definitely not bad.
"Plant these. ”
Chu Jing handed Zirui some seeds.
"It's ...... Peach pit?"
Chu Jing corrected: "It is among the peach trees, spread out and planted, as long as they grow to the stage of full flowering." ”
Aster's ability to control plant growth sounds incredible, but given the rarity of plants that can shapeshift, it doesn't seem too much.
According to Chu Jing's suggestion, Zirui sprinkled peach pits all around, and with her hand close to the earth, the peach pits immediately took root and sprouted, growing into a large peach tree in a very short time, full of pink peach blossoms.
The place where Chu Jing sat was also under a peach tree, and the petals falling from the tree were like a peach blossom rain.
"It's so beautiful! Brother Chu, you really have an idea!"
Qin Yue liked the beautiful cherry blossoms very much, and even Qin Jian relaxed his grip on the sword under the cherry blossoms.
Suddenly, Qin Yue remembered something, turned her head to look at Zirui, and said with a smile: "Sister Zi, you are so powerful, can you let my seeds grow too?"
Seeing Xiao Qin Yue with a cute face, Zirui did not refuse, in fact, she was quite easy-going, and she agreed immediately.
However, after the purple stamen bears the seed, it feels wrong, because the seed is full of vitality, which in the senses of the purple stamen is not like a seed, but like a towering tree.
"What is this? Why...... The vitality is so strong?"
"Is the vitality very strong?" Qin Yue showed a puzzled look and said, "I thought it was dead?"
This time it was Zirui's turn to wonder.
Qin Yue explained: "This is a seed left to me by my father, it doesn't count, this is a seed in the book he left me, I don't recognize what it is, so I collected it." ”
It turned out to be something from the "Divine Book of Ten Thousand Medicines", and the "Divine Book of Ten Thousand Medicines" belonged to her father, and the brothers and sisters of the Qin family were not orphans adopted by Sand Hill.
Chu Jing and Zirui both got this information, but it didn't mean much.
"Can you make it grow?" Qin Yue looked at Zirui expectantly.
"I'll try. ”
Zirui showed a dignified color, a seed with such a strong vitality is definitely not ordinary, and Zirui is not sure.
She didn't plant it in the soil, but held it in her hand, and the seed automatically floated on the purple stamen's index finger, emitting a faint blue light.
"Raw...... Long ......"
Every time Asterstain spits out a word, it takes a lot of effort, and the seeds begin to sprout a little green shoot.
While Qin Yue was cheering, Zirui stopped.
"What's wrong? Still doesn't work?" Qin Yue asked.
"It's not. As if remembering, Zirui said, "I know what it's missing?"
"What?" everyone wondered, did the seeds need specific fertilizers to germinate and grow?
"It's the soil, the soil!"
Immediately afterward, Zirui introduced the soil, a very, very rare soil that was said to have been transformed by the heart of one of the most powerful demon beasts after death.
The demon beast turned into a mountain, and its heart turned into a resting earth.
The earth has an unimaginably huge amount of energy, and ordinary plants growing on it will turn into extremely precious medicinal herbs, just for medicinal properties.
If there is a place where seeds can grow, it must be planted in the soil.
"But where is the rest?" Qin Yue asked.
Zi Rui shook her head, this is just handed down from the book, the only thing that can be determined is that the First Martial Alliance and the Tianxia Kingdom must have a relationship.
Qin Yue was disappointed, these two forces are not negotiable, they have it, what's the use, maybe they will snatch the seeds.
Chu Jing thought of something, and hurriedly said: "That old turtle must have a clue, it has always lived underground, and it is extremely familiar with the earth, it should be much easier for him to help find the soil." ”
"Old turtle?" Neither Qin Yue nor Qin Jian had ever seen the boulder hiding in the Demon Beast Domain.
Zirui suddenly realized, comforted Qin Yue and said, "Later, I will go to the Demon Beast Domain to find that old turtle again, it is not a problem to rest on the soil, I also want to see what this kind of seed can grow." ”
Qin Yue smiled and nodded, she just had the mentality of giving it a try, it would be good to be able to gain something.
The four of them enjoyed the cherry blossoms under the cherry trees, watched Meng Huo train demon beasts in the distance, and performed circus, the day passed very quickly and happily.
Ten days later.
Chu Jing first used the accumulated lottery and obtained some cards and a powerful card.
The lottery seems to have adjusted the odds with the increase of Chu Jing's level, and at the beginning of Chu Jing, the advanced lottery could only get three-star cards, and a seven-star card cost almost all of Chu Jing's luck.
This time, Chu Jing extracted Yuan Hong, who was named the Four Waste Stars.
Of course, the title of the Four Waste Stars is rarely mentioned, but the Monkey King in "Romance of the Gods" is known.
Yuan Hong is a character in the ancient Chinese mythological novel "The Romance of the Gods", and his body is the white ape (gibbon) to attain the Tao. More than eight feet tall, heroic appearance, thousands of years of Taoism, proficient in eight or nine Xuangong and a variety of witchcraft, vast magical powers, strong martial arts, hand with an iron rod, cruel nature, like to kill innocents. There are six demon kings under his command, and seven of them are brothers, called "Seven Saints of Meishan".
He also has the talent of a general, was named a general, and his subordinate general Wu Wenhua defeated the Zhou army many times.
Yuan Hong's supernatural powers and martial arts are the same as Yang Jian's, and the fighting methods of the two are ever-changing, flashing and moving, and they do everything. In the end, Yang Jian captured Yuan Hong with the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" given by Nuwa, and was beheaded by Lu Jian with a "flying knife to cut immortals" and died. Jiang Ziya was named a god, and Yuan Hong was named a four-waste star.
No matter from which point of view, Yuan Hong is a very powerful card, and the system also gives a five-star evaluation, which is no different from Wen Zhong, the Taishi of the Shang Dynasty, so to speak, the two of them are quite powerful.
Chu Jing had already used the Wen Zhong card, and now there is Zhang Yuanhong, which is really timely rain.
As for the other cards, they were a little disappointing to Chu Jing.
Dai Zongyuan was a prisoner of the two courts in Jiangzhou, and he had the Taoist magic method, and tied four pieces of Shenxing armor to his legs, and he could travel 800 miles a day at the earliest, and was called Shenxing Taibao. There is only one star in the character evaluation, and the only thing that is more useful is that Dai Zong's Divine Walking Armor Horse can be used by other people, and the effect is generally the same.
Li Kui, a character who has used Dai Zong's Shenxing armor horse, once killed the four tigers of Yiling with two big axes, known as "Black Whirlwind" and "Iron Bull", with average strength and a hard backstage relationship, no one can beat him, and he is still ranked among the Tiangang Stars, which is a heavenly killing star. The character evaluation is one and a half stars.
Desperate Saburo Shixiu, there is nothing to introduce, the characters are one and a half stars.
Sick Guan Suo Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu's eldest brother, has good strength, and he is also one of the few heroes in the Water Margin who survived to the end, and the character evaluation is two stars.
Chu Jing can summon these cards when he obtains them, but in fact, they are really not valuable.
Dai Zong is just running errands, in the Lishen Continent, where martial arts are prevalent, he can run fast even if he is a master, and the horses here are not only as simple as traveling thousands of miles a day, but those with demon beast bloodlines can even travel thousands of miles a day.
Li Kui, Wu Fu.
Shi Xiu, chopping wood.
Yang Xiong, who was imprisoned and also served as an executioner.
No matter how you look at it, these few have no value, that is, they are the goods of being small soldiers.
In the end, Chu Jing still decided to summon from the cards he had drawn before.
Le Jin, Xu Sheng, these two are excellent choices, as for the last candidate, Chu Jing decided to choose Tanya, not because Tanya is a woman and how beautiful she is, but because her thermal weapon is very powerful for this world.
What's more, she has the ability to explode, and she can completely infiltrate the city and blow open the gates during the siege.
