Chapter 217: The Jade Rabbit Returns
On the side of the Beida camp, Hou Zuoyi checked the recent battle situation in the Chinese military tent, and in the first few months, Fang Zhiye took the initiative to attack, and was shot by the Khitan cavalry and killed tens of thousands of people, and returned defeated, of course, all this was placed on the body of the dead ghost Shi Xuehai, and Hou Zuoyi was not easy to say.
Lu Gao was left by Fang Zhiye, and when Hou Zuoyi asked, he said that it was a misunderstanding, and now Lu Gao is willing to stay in Beidaying as a guest for a few days. Hou Zuoyi can't say anything, all the soldiers brought by Hou Zuoyi have settled down, the original Beida Battalion has 70,000 soldiers, plus the 150,000 brought by Hou Zuoyi, and now the Beida Battalion has more than 200,000 soldiers, which is equivalent to the heyday of the Song Dynasty, a quarter of the total strength.
Although the Song Dynasty claimed to have 800,000 forbidden troops, in fact, the army of the Song Dynasty was divided into "forbidden army", "box army", in addition to "village soldiers", "vassal soldiers" and so on. The forbidden army is equivalent to the central army, under the direct leadership of the emperor, the Xiang army is actually a matching army, that is, the place where the criminal person is exiled to serve as a soldier, the township army is a local armed force, belonging to the private armed forces, the number of feudal soldiers is very small, basically negligible.
And the forbidden army also includes the envoys of the various festivals, commanding the army in the hands of the envoys, and the real strength of the 800,000 forbidden army, less than 500,000, is also scattered to various places to maintain local security, so that there is no need for a large amount of grain turnover, saving manpower and material resources, just like this time, a holy decree, Hou Zuoyi left the Jiangling of Fengfeng from afar, Dingzhou area, gathered 150,000 soldiers, these soldiers belonged to five commanders, and only after the assembly returned to the unified command of Zuoyi.
If he can command these 220,000 troops, Fang Zhiye's name will definitely go down in history.
This day was very peaceful, Fang Zhiye didn't have any over-the-top actions, everyone was safe, but an undercurrent was surging in Beidaying, and the source of the undercurrent was this restless Lu Gao, when he was fine, he was in the hunting ground in the northeast of Beidaying, hunting alone, and from time to time he brought the prey back to the barracks and shared it with the soldiers, but he did not give Hou Zuoyi a piece.
If his eyes can kill, Lu Gao doesn't know how many times he has died, but he doesn't realize it and still goes his own way.
The days passed like this, and Xiang Qingxi's military base was still like usual training, and there was no such triumph after defeating the 100,000 army, whether it was an officer or a soldier, it was as if defeating Hou Zuoyi's army was a very ordinary thing.
And Xiang Qingxi let go of the very anxious psychology of looking for Jinliang, and went with the situation, taking Shengnan with him, just taking the search as a kind of relaxation, when he was nervous, when he was more tired, his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and it could only be the accumulation of time that could make the nine lotus flowers bloom.
The twelve members of the shadow detachment are now in the Shenzhu, and the thousand-person team is chasing and counter-chasing and killing drills, but the object of the hunt is just a thousand-person team, the current cultivation of the shadow one has reached the astonishing late stage of the Xuan Rank, and the other members of the shadow detachment have all reached the cultivation of the middle stage of the Xuan Rank, and the head of the Thousand People Team, Kong Wu, is also in the late stage of the Xuan Rank, and has tended to be complete, but the soldiers under his command are not connected, and the cultivation of the Xuan Rank is rare.
This kind of chase and counter-chase has to be practiced almost every few days. It's just that when the pursuer is a thousand-person team, the members of the shadow squad must control their cultivation within the Yellow Rank and escape within the specified time, otherwise they will be judged to lose.
But every time the result came down, it was the shadow team that won, and after everyone finished the drill, they all sat together to sum up their experience, because they couldn't figure out why, and the result of the discussion and discussion was only one left, that is, the shadow team of 12 people, who were already like demons.
But in the past, the twelve people who were very ordinary, only because of Ma Kuo's training, quite obedient to orders, were brought into the Shenzhu by Xiang Qingxi for training, these people spent nearly three hundred years in the Shenzhu, absorbing the aura in the Shenzhu every day, three hundred years, they not only practiced the twelve sleeping exercises, but also read the books that Xiang Qingxi took from modern society, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign classic battles, Sun Tzu's Art of War, etc., but all the books related to war were read through and eaten by them.
This phenomenon is very strange, Xiang Qingxi's first reaction when he heard it was impossible, how could it be possible, but every time he came down, the result was the same, and he had to believe it when he was unconvinced.
On this day, Xiang Qingxi took Shengnan to wander around the Shenzhu Continent according to the custom, looking for Jinliang, they have visited many places, there are mountains, there are rivers, everywhere they go, when they want to return to Shenzhu, they will leave a teleportation array, Shengnan enjoys the days of wandering in the Shenzhu with Xiang Qingxi, these days are not nothing to discover.
They saw some ruined altar ruins and dilapidated villages one after another far away from the boundary gate, although they couldn't tell who had lived in these villages, but it was certain that the Shenzhu Continent had lived in people.
They had also seen some broken formations hidden in secret places, but they had never seen them after walking through so many places...... Person.
He and Shengnan discussed these dilapidated and damaged places, Rao is Shengnan, the god who lives with heaven and earth, can't see why, Xiang Qingxi had to stay behind the teleportation array, and took Shengnan back to the Divine Pearl, the reason why he didn't go around for too long this time was that Xiang Qingxi saw that the Jade Rabbit was back, and he seemed to be very happy.
As soon as he returned to Shenzhu, Xiang Qingxi hugged the Jade Rabbit and said, "Tutu, I miss you, what good things did you bring back to us this time?"
After hugging it, he quickly released it and threw it on the ground, because he remembered the appearance of the man who was not a man, a woman and a woman when the jade rabbit turned into a human form, "How is it?
"That is, don't look at what kind of rabbit this immortal is, of course you will gain a lot from doing business. Jade Rabbit's arrogant look made Katsuo giggle.
"Come, share it, and see what you learn. Xiang Qingxi sat down and looked at Yutu with an expectant expression, while Shengnan stood behind Xiang Qingxi and held his shoulder with his hand, she also wanted to know what she would gain by making Yutu happy like this.
"You see. Jade Rabbit waved his hand. A large pile of hedrons appeared in front of him.
"Huh?" Xiang Qingxi stretched out his hand to pick up one, his face immediately fell, and he said with some tears and laughter, "Lantian Yu?"
"Yes, you can call it Lantian Jade, but in the fairy world, this is called a spar. Jade Rabbit nodded, and also picked up a piece and put it in Katsuo's hand, "You come and feel the crystal inside." ”
Xiang Qingxi looked at the Jade Rabbit strangely, Lantian Jade, he bought a lot from Lu Dalin, the owner of the jade shop in Zhenyuan Prefecture, he didn't understand, why did the Jade Rabbit get these things back, but he also began to feel it according to his words.
