Chapter 35: Guards

Yun Tianjia sat cross-legged on the kang alone, and his luck was adjusted.

When he learned the true identity of the crescent moon, somehow, he faintly felt in his heart that a large-scale world melee might be quietly brewing in the dark. Whether this feeling is right or not, even if it is completely wrong, there is no escape from the imminent defense of the city.

Thinking about it further, if the Eagle's Beak Pass had not been held, would the war have become more and more intense? And how would he deal with himself? Now that he has awakened his martial spirit, his cultivation level is still too low, and he still cannot protect himself during the war.

Therefore, for him, he must race against time, step up his cultivation, and quickly improve his personal strength.

In addition, he also wanted to have a more comprehensive understanding of the affairs of the Star Soul Continent as soon as possible, instead of being a confused soldier.

First of all, we must at least know why the Zhongming Empire attacked the Tuhao Empire? The combat strength of the two countries, who is strong and who is weak? What is the relationship between the countries in the entire Qinglong Continent? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each country, and so on.

Because of these two considerations, when Wang Xiong gave rewards to Long, He, and Yun and adjusted the Qu team, Yun Tianjia was overjoyed in his heart.

Although Yun Tianjia only got two high-grade blood crystals, which was much less than Long Yuandong and He Dali, being able to be a personal soldier by Tang Feng's side was the most important thing. In this way, he can come into contact with a large number of books and historical materials, figure out many important things that are confused in his heart, and if he is lucky, he may even find the basic exercises for cultivating martial souls.

Yun Tianjia said goodbye to Dong Cripple, Qian Bao and others, and said a few words to Long Yuandong and He Dali, and then followed the guidance of the record to join the army, and came to a small courtyard in the northeast of the West Gate.

In front of the courtyard gate, four sergeants were on duty with bright armor.

Yun Tianjia reported his name, submitted the order, and followed the sergeant guarding the door into the courtyard, crossed the triple corridor door, and came to the lobby.

Tang Feng saw Yun Tianjia, put down the battle report in his hand, and said in a gentle tone: "Letting you be my personal guard is just a name." Your martial soul has not awakened, and I will not really ask you to protect it, and it is impossible to send you to fight. So it's not so much about letting me be my own soldier, it's more appropriate to let you be a scholar or a clerk. In the future, you will only be responsible for sorting out the battle reports, cleaning the study, copying and writing, and the rest of the things will not be taken care of. Now that the situation in Chengguan is tense, I don't have time to teach you one by one, you should figure out everything by yourself first! We who are soldiers and wars have small families and small businesses, and there are not too many rules, so you should not be restrained. ”

Yun Tianjia said respectfully: "Yes!"

Tang Feng saw that he was behaving decently, nodded slightly, and said, "Steward Zhou will arrange it for you later, you don't need to worry!"

Yun Tianjia said: "Thank you, General!"

Before Tang Feng could say anything more, he suddenly heard a loud bang in the city, put down the battle report in his hand, and said, "You stay here, I'll take a look!"

Yun Tianjia picked up a stack of letters and folds on the table, and read them carefully, some talked about the training and equipment of soldiers, some talked about city defense and fortifications, some talked about the movements of the imperial court, and there were some detailed spy reports, introducing the troops, formations, equipment, and personality of the main generals of the besieging enemy army, which were tedious and detailed, and so on.

Yun Tianjia quickly read all the battle reports, roughly divided them into four categories: the enemy army, our army, the government and the government, and the people's feelings, and put them away properly. After waiting for a while, seeing that Tang Feng had not come back, he came to the study with the consent of Steward Zhou.

Tang Feng is a military general who defends the city, only a little bit of writing and ink, so the study is quite simple, there are only a few dozen big books on the huge bookshelf, the book has not been touched for a long time, and it has been covered with a thin layer of dust.

The table is also large, with paper folds, documents, silk pieces and other materials placed in a messy manner, and a wooden basket next to the table is also full of such things.

Yun Tianjia is like a treasure, open the window, and read and classify them one by one with the light of the sky outside the window, most of them are still four types of news about the enemy's army, our army, government and politics, and people's feelings, and there are a small number of correspondence with friends.

As soon as people are focused, time flies very quickly.

Unconsciously, the sky was dark, Yun Tianjia's eyes were astringent, looking at the neatly stacked materials on the desktop, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "The scattered documents have almost been sorted out, but unfortunately they are all scaly claws, a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and it is far from enough to have a comprehensive understanding of the current world." ”

Turning his head to look at the bookshelf, he thought, "I don't know how the battle is going outside, I must hurry up and finish reading these books as soon as possible, and I probably won't have a chance to read them in the future." ”

Just thinking about it, a cook in her thirties brought a plate of food and knocked on the door: "Mr. Yun, the housekeeper asked me to bring you something to eat!"

Yun Tianjia hurriedly said: "How dare you bother you? I'll do it myself!"

The cook said, "It doesn't matter. In the future, when the time comes, I will bring my husband's food!"

Yun Tianjia looked at the cook carefully, her body was plump, her eyebrows were clear, although the cloth was simple, she was quite eye-catching, and asked, "What do you call the eldest lady?"

The cook smiled and said, "My surname is Luo, you can call me Luo Erniang!"

Yun Tianjia saluted and said, "Luo Erniang!"

"The place where Mr. lives has been cleaned up, not far from here, I'll take you to see it!"

Yun Tianjia said: "Okay!" and Luo Erniang looked at the dormitory together, it was a small side room on the side of the corridor, and only one person was allowed to live.

"The steamed buns are cold, you eat them quickly, otherwise they will be hard. ”

Yun Tianjia thanked him, ate, and returned to the study.

Sitting in front of the bookcase, closing his eyes and thinking carefully about the military newspapers he had read during the day, and smoothing out the relationship between them, he suddenly opened his eyes and thought: "The Zhongming Empire has repeatedly disadvantaged the use of troops in the north, and the crown prince Shi Zhenglie is in a state of anxiety and overwhelmed to deal with it, how can he start a war in southern Xinjiang at the same time? It can be seen that this battle was completely provoked by the unilateral launch of the Southern King Shi Zhengyang. There are only two states in the fiefdom of the Southern King, and raising 30,000 elite soldiers is already the limit. With 30,000 soldiers, it will not be easy to capture the Eagle's Beak Pass, which has 10,000 defenders and 100,000 inhabitants. In addition, the weather is cold and the roads are closed by heavy snow, and the siege of the city is especially difficult. The Zhongming Empire could not support the war in the south, so once the army of the Southern King failed to attack the city, it would definitely withdraw. ”

He also thought: "What is the purpose of the king of the south in launching this war? How much benefit can he get by taking a few border castle towns? Unless, in fact, he does not want to get any benefit, but just wants to create a little momentum and let the court pay attention to him! At the same time, he can train an elite army through war, why not? In this case, he cannot win a big victory in this battle, because if he wins a big victory, he will compare the crown prince with him and arouse suspicion. You can't be defeated, because of the defeat, you will wipe out your family, and you don't know how long it will take to accumulate the same strength. ”

When he thought of this, his heart suddenly became clear, and when he saw that it was already dark, he lit the anointing lamp, took down the books from the bookshelf, and looked at them carefully.

Although there are only a dozen books, each book is quite heavy, and the content just meets Yun Tianjia's appetite.

One of them is called "The Geography of the Star Soul Continent", which talks about the geography, folklore, and output of the Star Soul Continent. The Star Soul Continent is the general name of this dimensional world, and it is divided into four continents, east, west, north and south, and the middle islands, and the eastern continent is also called the Qinglong Continent, corresponding to the names of the four elephants.

There are also two books called "Introduction to Martial Soul Cultivation" and "Attribute Talent Skill Test", which are some basic concepts and common sense of soul master cultivation. In addition, there are several auxiliary books, such as "The Beginning of Alchemy", "Alchemy", "Illustration of Alien Grass Soul Beasts", "History and Political Evolution of the Tuhao Empire", etc., which are all things that Yun Tianjia urgently needs to know.
