In the distance, Li Cunqiao paced repeatedly, anxiously waiting.

Chen Qiuming on the high platform looked down at the entire Liang army camp, but he was not in a hurry at all, and even used a bow and arrow to solve a Liang army soldier who came out in the middle of the night to relieve his hands, until he found that the flammable materials carried by his scouts were almost consumed, and the key materials such as grain, grass, and baggage were "taken care of", then he took out a ringing arrow, lit it with a fire breaker, and shot it into the night sky.

This is the signal for ignition, the signal for evacuation, and also the signal for Li Cunqiao's army, which is far away to turn over and prepare for an attack.

Seeing the sound of arrows, the elite of the Jin army scattered in the camp of the Liang army hurriedly took out the fire folds and lit them everywhere. Because of the flammable materials such as fire oil and saltpeter, as well as strong winds, the entire Liang army soon ignited a raging fire, and the screams and screams were remembered one after another almost instantly.

Li Cunmiao, who was in the distance, was overjoyed when he saw this, and urgently ordered: Move forward in the direction of the fire!

According to the drill in advance, after the ignition is completed, they must be evacuated immediately, but Chen Qiuming relied on his superb martial arts skills and did not hurry to appreciate his "masterpiece", who knew that in just a moment, the entire military camp turned into a sea of fire, and the flames in some places were even as high as several zhang, so that our "big master" Chen Qiuming couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

No matter how high your martial arts are, you are not invulnerable, invulnerable! With such a big fire, even if the Great Grandmaster comes, he can't bear it, right? Thinking of this, Chen Qiuming didn't care about the image and began to hug his head and run away!

The whole barracks is a mess, there is fire everywhere, where can you find your way? Fortunately, Chen Qiuming has "Immortal Seal Method", relying on his clever "perception" and extremely fast body method, he rushed out of Liang Ying, but his face was also blackened.

The entire Liang army camp has turned into a human purgatory at this time, and the screams can be heard for miles.

The initiator Chen Qiuming was stunned, the effect of this fire was much better than imagined, even the scouts who set the fire, many did not escape, as for Liang Jun in his sleep, only a handful escaped.

Even if it is useless to escape, can it still escape the hunt of the surrounding Jin cavalry?

Annihilated! The 100,000 people of the Liang army, counting from the beginning of the fire, were wiped out in less than half an hour!

In a fire of this level, it is difficult for the immortals to survive.

Not to mention this result as an ordinary Jin army, even Chen Qiuming and Li Cunmiao, who made the plan, were far from expecting that Chen Qiuming was completely sluggish, and even Li Cunmiao, who found him, shouted at him vigorously, but he didn't come back to his senses.

Chen Qiuming's conscience is a little unbearable, although he has no good impression of Liang Jun at all, although he has traveled so far, he can be regarded as a murderer, but causing such a big murder at one time, Chen Qiuming still can't accept it for a while.

After all, the education of his previous life still deeply affected him.

Li Cunmiao, who was originally extremely excited, became serious when he saw Chen Qiuming's appearance, shook Chen Qiuming gently, and eagerly called "Brother Chen, Brother Chen......"

After a long time, Chen Qiuming completely came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "Brother Li, the killing caused by this is too great." ”

Li Cunmiao originally thought that Chen Qiuming, a descendant cultivated by the Demon Sect, would definitely not take human life to heart, but he didn't expect that Chen Qiuming was still a good person, and it was a little difficult to accept what he did for a while.

But also, Li Cunmiao went to the battlefield to fight at the age of eleven, and he has long been accustomed to seeing life and death, but he is a little concerned about experiencing such a tragic situation tonight, let alone an "ordinary person" like Chen Qiuming?

Li Cunmiao comforted: "Brother Chen doesn't have to mind, on the battlefield, either you die or I die, and you can't have the slightest mercy." What's more, Zhu Wen is brutal, the Liang army has always been careless of human life, and most of today's disasters are punished by God through the hands of you and me. ”

Chen Qiuming was originally a materialist and atheist, but such an outrageous thing can happen to him, even if there is an immortal at this time, Chen Qiuming will not be completely unable to accept it.

Taking the wine jug handed over by Li Cunmiao and taking a deep sip, Chen Qiuming felt better, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Li, so many people died tragically, if the corpses are in the wilderness, it is easy to cause a large-scale plague, and it is necessary to dig a pit and bury all the corpses." ”

Li Cunqiao nodded in agreement.

The fire burned for more than an hour before it slowly went out. The air was filled with a pungent smell, which could be smelled even if Chen Qiuming and the others were standing far upwind.

Li Cunmiao showed excellent strategic vision at this time, and saw him say to Chen Qiuming: "This 100,000 army, this is almost all the mobile army that Zhu Wen can mobilize, and now the whole army is annihilated, so that the strength of the Liang army and our army has been turned around at once, and now I am strong and the enemy is weak, if I lead the cavalry south, I will definitely be able to turn Zhu Wen's territory upside down in a short time!" ”

Chen Qiuming said: "With the cavalry in your hands alone, if you can make good use of the advantages of the cavalry, it will indeed make the Liang army anxious in a short period of time, but in the long run, you can plunder a little wealth at most, and it will not have much impact on the battle between the two sides." ”

"The Jin State and the two countries, if they want to truly annex each other, it is by no means an overnight thing, let alone one or two wars that can be decided, and it is the comprehensive national strength that will fight in the end."

Li Cunmiao obviously hadn't heard of the term "comprehensive national strength", and asked humbly: "Brother Chen, what is comprehensive national strength?" ”

Chen Qiuming replied: "What are the factors that evaluate whether a country is strong or weak? Population, money, food, military strength, and even cultural heritage are taken together, and many other factors are called comprehensive national strength. ”

"According to the current strength comparison, even if the Liang State loses 100,000 troops tonight, whether it is the war potential of population or money and food, the Liang State is still above the Jin State, not to mention that the cultural heritage of the Liang State is far above the Jin State, so if you want to truly annex the Liang State, you must first make the Jin State strong."

Li Cunmiao continued to ask: "Brother Chen, how can we make the Jin Kingdom strong?" ”

Chen Qiuming sighed and said: "This is not something that can be done overnight, but the biggest shortcoming of the current Jin State is the lack of culture and education, and there are only a handful of capable civil officials in the entire Jin State. ”

"Civilian officials are responsible for helping to govern the entire country and localities, and military officers are responsible for foreign wars, each performing its own duties, not interfering with each other, and the balance between civil and military is the way to strengthen the country. In addition, you are not the king of the Jin Kingdom now, and you can't make decisions on many things, so let's talk about it when you can really be the master. ”

In the past 20 years, Li Cunmiao has also come into contact with many capable people, but there is no one who can cause such a great shock and inspiration to Li Cunmiao.

Coupled with Chen Qiuming's outstanding military talent in this war, it strengthened Li Cunming's determination to keep Chen Qiuming by his side for a long time, and took the opportunity to say: "Brother Chen's talent is ancient and unparalleled, Yazi admires it, you also know what I am as a person these days, Yazi only asks Chen Qiuming to think about it, can you stay and help me for a long time?" ”

Chen Qiuming smiled dumbly and said, "How can I have any talent." You and I know each other, and I also happen to see that Zhu Wen is unhappy, so I will help you. But Qiu Ming is used to being idle and wild, and he can't stand the constraints of the court, not to mention staying to conspire with you, and with the news of the master in a few days, Qiu Ming will definitely have to leave. ”

Li Cunmiao still needs to be persuaded again, Chen Qiuming directly diverted the topic and began to leave and right others, but Chen Qiuming obviously underestimated Li Cunmiao's determination, and also underestimated the thickness of Li Cunmiao's face, in the next few days, as long as there is an opportunity, Li Cunmiao will beg hard, which makes Chen Qiuming have a headache.

A few days later, Li Cunmiao received a report from the flying pigeon, which recorded Xue Yang's news. After reading it, Li Cunmiao's heart became a mess, and he wanted to hand it over to Chen Qiuming immediately, but he was also worried that Chen Qiuming would leave immediately after reading it, and his mood was extremely complicated.

After struggling for a moment, Li Cunmiao still turned around and walked towards Chen Qiuming's tent.

Seeing Chen Qiuming, Li Cunmiao handed over the creed and said: "I just received the flying pigeon message, Xue Yang's predecessor appeared in Chengdu Mansion half a month ago, and then it seems that he went to Lingnan. ”

Chen Qiuming was relieved after reading it, the reason why he wanted to find Xue Yang was that he hadn't received news from Xue Yang for too long, and he was a little worried. Now that he saw his master show his traces again, he was obviously much more relieved, but he didn't know that Xue Yang went to Lingnan to find him.

Chen Qiuming clenched his fists at Li Cunqiao and said sincerely: "Thank you, Brother Li!" ”

Li Cunmiao was ashamed and said: "You helped me establish immortal merits, can I tell you half a word of thanks?" It's a trivial matter, but it's just a gesture, and you thank you, which really makes Yazi ashamed. ”

Chen Qiuming was in a much happier mood with the news of his master, and said with a smile: "One yard is one yard, but between you and me, there is really no need to be too polite, and there is no good wine, how about conspiring to get drunk tonight?" ”

Li Cunmiao smiled bitterly: "Of course there is good wine, but Yazi is worried that after drinking, you will leave tomorrow." To tell you the truth, when I received the carrier pigeon just now, I hesitated, afraid that you would have to leave as soon as you finished reading it. But even if I am afraid of being separated from you, I will bring you the letter at once. ”

Li Cunmiao's words were extremely sincere, and Chen Qiuming was moved in his heart.

With a sigh, Chen Qiuming also said from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Li is bright and upright, and he also has the resources of a hero, and he will definitely be able to achieve a career in the future." But your ambition is only to defeat Zhu Wen and restore the Tang Dynasty, but you don't have the ambition to dominate the world, let alone the mission of saving 10,000 people from fire and water. ”

"Although a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, how far a person can go depends on how ambitious he is. If after you defeat Zhu Wen, you start to slack off or even stagnate, and you start to enjoy yourself, then you can replace Zhu Wen and others can also replace you. That's all for that, Brother Li think about it for himself! ”
