Chapter 775: Feng Gong
Half a month later, Li Mu sorted out and packed all the furs hunted during this time, tied them to everyone's horses, and said loudly, "After the sacrifice, we will return to China."
The weather here was already very cold before, with ice and snow everywhere, but now it is even colder, and the biting cold wind blows all day long, and even the big white bear hides in its hole.
What worries Li Mu the most is that the days here are fatally short, but the nights are long and scary, and the long dark nights will bring people the fear of the unknown.
The beasts that can be hunted nearby are almost hunted by Zhao Jun, and if they continue to stay, it will be difficult for Zhao Jun to gain anything, so it is better to go south and return to China.
After all, it's been more than half a year since I left the Central Plains, and it's time to go back.
When the Great Wall Army heard this, they were not particularly happy.
Everyone knew that their goal in the north was to restore the spirit of the army, during which they experienced several surges of breath, and finally failed.
This expedition was their last expectation.
Going south means that they have failed again.
This is unacceptable to the proud Great Wall Army.
Li Mu didn't care about everyone, he walked aside, cut a huge stone into a stone tablet, engraved the words 'Zhao Northern Frontier' on it with a sword, and inserted it into the ground.
He also took the ritual vessels for the sacrifice and placed them on the altar according to the weekly rites.
As for the three livestock and six animals, Zhao Junzhong really didn't have them, so he could only replace them with polar bears, seals and other fierce beasts.
"Zhao Guowu Anjun Li Mu dared to announce to heaven for the king: the early Zhou clan lost morality, the Central Plains was divided, the princes fought for hegemony, and the world was in chaos. Still dare not forget the responsibility of defending the land, now the Hu people intruded into the northern part of our China, so that my Zhao people were displaced, and they could not rest, so they sent Wu Anjun Li Mu to lead the army to the north, plough the court and sweep the holes, and scrambled the enemy, fortunately, the emperor and the queen of heaven favored the land, and destroyed the Donghu, Sushen, Huiqian and other large and small tribes of thirty and six, and then leveled the Hu......
Li Mu stood under the altar, his voice sonorous and powerful, and he floated far and far under the blowing of the cold wind.
The Great Wall Army stood behind Li Mu, the blood-stained banner made the sound of hunting, and the sacrifice was very long, but the soldiers listened very carefully.
Zhao Guo arranged teachers for them to teach them to read and write, and they were all able to understand the meaning of the sacrificial text.
In the past, the Zhao State was plagued by the Hu people in the north, so there was the Great Wall, so there was the Great Wall Guard, and the meaning of their existence was to protect the Zhao people, and even the whole of China.
But with the rise of the Zhao State, the destruction of the Xiongnu and the defeat of the Eastern Hu, the entire northern Zhuhu crawled at the feet of the Zhao State and trembled, not daring to go south, they seemed to have lost their original intention.
Their goal is no longer to guard, but to become stronger and fight, even to kill, in short, to restore strength at all costs.
But there is no doubt that this path is wrong, and it has taken them nearly a decade and countless efforts to prove that this path is not going to work.
Fighting and killing can make them stronger, but they can't make them stronger.
Our goal should not be killing, killing is only a means, it is a process, but it is never a goal!
Our goal is to protect!
The memorial text still echoed in the sky, the blazing fire reflected on everyone's faces, and the eyes of the soldiers of the Great Wall Army changed from bright to confused, from confused to bright, and then gradually firm.
Blood-red light bloomed from the Great Wall Army, and the gilt light continued to rotate and rise, and finally formed a huge pillar of light with a diameter of more than ten zhang, soaring into the sky.
At the moment when the pillar of light disappeared into the sky, a wave centered on the pillar of light and quickly spread towards the surroundings.
At the same time, the blood-red pillar of light shattered, turning into a streamer and submerging into the body of each Great Wall army, among which Li Mu, as the main general, harvested the most streamer.
The breath of the Great Wall Army not only did not fall, but as the streamer continued to submerge into the body, the breath continued to rise, reaching its peak in an instant, breaking through the barrier without any obstacles.
Immediately after, more brilliant silver-white brilliance bloomed from each Great Wall army, condensing into an incomparably thick silver-white pillar of light in the center of the army, directly tearing the heavens and the earth apart
Big mouth.
Ten years of hard work, once blooming!
With the Great Wall Army as the center, a radius of ten miles, the wind and snow suddenly stopped.
Li Mu raised his head slightly, stretched out his right palm, and the power of the rich military soul emerged from his palm.
Everything that used to be is back!
No, this force is stronger than ever!
"With my Great Wall, China will not fall!"
……
Handan, the royal palace.
Zhao Kuo was lying on a rocking chair, with a small person lying on his stomach, holding the slander newspaper that had just been released.
During this time, Zhao had successively spread the news of the destruction of Donghu, Pingding Ling, the death of Hui, and the capture of the entire Northeast through slanderous reports.
It's not to mobilize everyone to immigrate or anything, but to enhance the self-confidence, cohesion and sense of honor of the Chinese people.
In this age when everyone is martial, nothing can capture the hearts and minds of the people more than victory.
Although the surrounding countries cursed in their hearts, they still sent envoys to congratulate Zhao Guo.
"When I was a child, did my father hold me like this?" Zhao Ponu looked at his sister who was sleeping on Zhao Kuo's body, and said enviously.
"No, you were very disobedient when you were a child, and you were beaten every day." Zhao Kuo glanced at Zhao Ponu and said lightly.
"......" Zhao Ponu pursed his lips, as if you don't beat me now.
"Great King, Wu Anjun has arrived thirty miles north of the city." At this time, Guo Kai hurriedly ran in, leaned over and said.
"Coming back so soon." Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up, he already knew about the Great Wall Army's recovery of strength, but he hadn't seen what the Great Wall Army had become after breaking free.
Zhao Kuo carefully picked up the little man on his body, handed it to An Ning, and then said to Guo Kai, "Inform the ministers of the DPRK and China, and follow me out of the city to greet him."
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Kuo led hundreds of civil and military officials to the north of Handan City, and soon, the sound of hurried horses' hooves came from a distance, and a blood-red banner came into view.
"Army Spirit Legion! No, even the aura of the Army Soul Legion is not so powerful!" Yan Ju and Ben's expressions instantly became solemn, and their right hand was subconsciously placed on the hilt of the sword.
The Great Wall Army is not just as simple as regaining its strength, his aura is even more than that of Zhao Feiqi, Praetorian Guard, and Xuanjia Army, who are also members of the Army Soul Legion.
Even the surrounding heaven and earth were affected by the Great Wall Army.
If the Army Soul Legion is the limit of this world, then the current Great Wall Army has broken through this limit.
This is an army that has come out of mythology.
"The last will meet the king." When Li Mu saw Zhao Kuo, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, and saluted with fists.
"Meet the King." All the Great Wall troops behind him turned over and dismounted at the same time and saluted, more than 6,000 people, neatly aligned, without the slightest difference.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Zhao Kuo stepped forward to help Li Mu up, solemnly patted Li Mu's shoulder, and said with relief: "Yes, very good, I have lived up to the expectations of the widow."
"Thanks to the Great King, if it weren't for the King's help, the last general might not be able to lead the Great Wall Army out until now." Li Mu said gratefully.
"The Great Wall Army has never given up, and it has put in enough effort, and the widow just pushed it away." Zhao Kuo looked Li Mu up and down, and always felt that he couldn't see through Li Mu's current strength, so he asked tentatively, "Have you broken through?"
"Not only the last general, but General Sima has also broken through, and we are all in the Holy Realm now." Li Mu said excitedly.
After transcendence, it is sanctification.
Although with the gradual activation of the aura of heaven and earth, it has become easier for martial artists to reach the transcendent realm, this does not mean that the transcendent realm is rotten.
Those who can reach the transcendent realm are all geniuses among geniuses, and they are one out of hundreds of thousands.
And the powerhouses of the Holy Realm, the entire Central Plains combined, there are only a few people, and all of them are in the Zhao Kingdom.
"The last general followed Wu Anjun and got some opportunities." Sima Shang said embarrassedly.
"Good boy, you're now completely ahead of me."
Le Yi looked at Li Mu, and then at the Great Wall Army behind Li Mu, and felt quite emotional in his heart.
Some are happy, and some are lost.
Li Mu has grown too fast, in just ten years, he has grown from a fledgling young player to the top famous player in the world.
Don't talk about the younger generation, even the older generation, no one dares to say that they can surpass Li Mu.
"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves." Tian Dan patted Le Yi on the shoulder, as if he was comforting Le Yi and seemed to be comforting himself.
There are more and more Zhao people around, looking at the Great Wall Army with admiration and envy, they all know that this army in front of them has defeated the entire Northeast and expanded the land for Zhao Kuo for thousands of miles.
If we put aside the issues of whether the land is developed and the size of the population, in terms of area alone, the territory of the Great Wall Army is even more than the entire Zhao State before.
Of course, ordinary people don't have this concept.
Zhao's denigration also did not indicate the area.
In fact, even the entire Zhao Kingdom didn't know how much land Li Mu had taken down this time.
At the beginning, the imperial court also sent people to follow Li Mu's ass to receive it, and wherever Li Mu hit, Zhao Guo received it.
But later, as Li Mu continued to fight north, the territory became larger and larger, the environment became more and more desolate, and the climate became colder and colder.
However, if nominally speaking, all the way to the place where Li Mu erected the monument, that is, the coast of the Arctic Ocean, is the territory of Zhao State.
It's just that most of the area is no man's land......
"The Great Wall Army...... What level of clan is it now?" Yan Ju couldn't help but ask.
"It's a little stronger than the Soul Legion." Li Mu said with a smile, now that there are people everywhere around, it is inconvenient for him to say more, but this sentence is enough to establish the status of the entire Great Wall Army.
You must know that in the past, when the Great Wall Army's military soul and talent all disappeared, the treatment was one grade lower than that of the Army Soul Legion.
Of course, the Great Wall Army has no opinion, after all, our strength is not as good as others.
In the army, it is still necessary to rely on strength to speak.
But now that we have turned over, we are stronger than the Army Soul Legion, so shouldn't the treatment also be improved!
"Okay, don't say more, you've been on the expedition for so long, go back to the barracks to change and wash and take care of your personal hygiene. An hour later, the widow gave a feast in the palace, and everyone came. Remember, it's everyone." Zhao Kuo emphasized.
Naturally, there are not enough people in the main hall, even if you add a side hall, it is not enough, but the palace has a courtyard, a very large courtyard.
"No." Li Mu said excitedly.
The Great Wall Army looked at Zhao Kuo excitedly and excitedly, this is the banquet set up by the king himself, and there are a few people in the world who can get the king's banquet.
The banquet lasted until the evening, and all the soldiers were drunk, and after fighting for more than half a year, they were finally able to rest.
The next day, Zhao Kuo held a court meeting.
"Get the map." After everyone entered the court, Zhao Kuo did not discuss the government, but said directly and loudly.
Soon, a map containing the entire Central Plains and the Northeast, as well as the Korean Peninsula, was brought up and spread in the center of the main hall.
The Northeast and the Korean Peninsula are not accurately depicted, with only simple mountains and rivers, but you can also intuitively see that the area of these areas is not inferior to that of the Central Plains.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the map, and their breathing accelerated slightly, even Lin Xiangru, Wei Wuji and others, who had seen this map before, stared intently at the map at this time.
Combined, Han and Wei are only palm-sized places on the map, and Wei Guo has not been marked.
"In this battle, my Zhao State was able to expand thousands of miles, and Wu Anjun Li Mu made great contributions, and he proposed to make Wu Anjun the Duke of Wu'an County and receive the title of Wu'an County." Zhao Kuo picked up the pen and circled a place on the map that was the size of the whole of South Korea.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned red.
This part of the land painted by Zhao Kuo contains a part of the black land, don't look at the desolation now, but everyone knows it
, that place will definitely become a granary in the future.
How can Li Mu be able to get a fief comparable to the whole of Korea.
"Xiangguo Lin Xiangru has worked hard for my Zhao country, exhausted his efforts, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the family has surplus food, and the soldiers who go out on the expedition do not have to worry about food and grass. There is a country, and the widow is worry-free. Proposed purpose, Feng Lin is like Wen Zheng Gong, and he is given the title of Wen Zheng County." Zhao Kuo picked up the pen again and drew a fiefdom on the map that was about the same size as before.
"Xiangguo Wei Wuji...... Feng Wei Wuji was named the Duke of Yeming, and he was given the title of Yeming County."
"I hope you are happy...... Feng Leyi is looking at the princes, and he is given the title of looking at the counties."
"Tsuhei Juntian Dan...... Feng Tian Shan is the Duke of Duping, and he is given the title of Duping County."
"Duwu Jun is quite ...... Feng Lian is quite the Duke of Duwu, and he is given the title of Duwu County."
Pen and ink draw circles after circles on the map, and territory after territory is demarcated.
Every time Zhao Kuo writes, it touches everyone's hearts.
To be honest, when Zhao Kuo first set up the county duke, everyone thought it was just a gimmick, and it was impossible for King Zhao to really give a county to the minister, after all, there were only a few counties in the entire Zhao State at that time.
Later, as the Zhao State continued to grow stronger and began to embark on the road of expansion, everyone just thought that after dominating the world, Zhao Kuo might divide one or two county dukes.
But at this time, Zhao Guo has not yet ruled the world, and the scene in front of them tells them that Zhao Kuo is not joking.
And it's not one county duke, six at a time.
Six counties, equivalent to six Korea's size, were divided in this way.
It is no secret that the black soil of the Northeast is in the Zhao Kingdom, and everyone has seen the fertility of that piece of land.
Desolate, but by no means barren.
Crops can grow, rods and roe deer, scooping fish, and all kinds of minerals.
As long as you can farm, no one will dislike it.
