After that, as usual, there was a negotiation, and the officers in the camp tent expressed their opinions, until a group of people were red-faced, and Zhao Cheng finally spoke up and set the policy for the next step.

First take the mountains and villages, accumulate strength, and then wait for the opportunity to seize Wucheng, such a big thing can be done!

In fact, Huang Tianjun said that he was conquering the Southern Wilderness, but in fact, he had just arrived at the door of the Southern Wilderness, and was defeated by Wu Qi.

After all, Wu Cheng is Wu Qi's hometown, and for hundreds of years, the Wu family has been operating in that place with deep roots.

As for the mouth out of the Southern Wilderness, the Heavenly Absolute Pass, but now it is occupied by the Huang Tianjun, but between this pass and a city, the distance is far away, there are many dangerous places, it is not easy to enter and exit, and in some places, even simply, only the plank road is connected.

If it can really take Wucheng, Huang Tianjun can attack it to take Qingzhou, and retreat to defend it to take the Southern Wilderness.

Of course, Wu Cheng is difficult to take, if it weren't for Zhao Cheng's prestige in the past half a month, and the officers were all promoted by him, he would definitely attract opposition if he made such a plan.

Unlike today, although everyone still has doubts in their hearts, they are still willing to carry it out.

And after the soldiers retreated, Zhao Cheng looked at the void, now he used the qi of nearly five hundred people to support his body, his Dao seed, the seventh lotus petal, also gave birth to a little sprout, but the time is too short, if you want to fully grow, it is far from enough.

According to Zhao Cheng's estimate, if he took the hundred villages in the mountains, brought these mountain people into the rule, and added people to the land, so as to provide for them, by the end of the year, he should be able to bloom eight products.

The mountains are vast, stretching for I don't know how many thousand miles, among which there are more than 100 large and small villages, and in terms of population, there are about 50,000 people.

If it goes well, he can recruit about 2,000 people from it, plus continue to search for the Yellow Sky Tribe, and by next year, he will probably have 5,000 usable troops in his hands.

As for the issue of military salaries, Zhao Cheng planned to take Wucheng in one fell swoop by Tuntian this year and until the spring of the next year.

When the time comes, calculate the time, and it will also be the time when the Huang Tiandao people are about to die.

He happened to receive the power left by the people of Huang Tiandao in one fell swoop, and then moved into the Southern Wilderness, burned the plank road, and accumulated strength in the Southern Wilderness.

Great undertakings and great undertakings cannot be accomplished without a base area.

Huang Tiandao people only realized this at the end, but they were powerless to return to the sky.

And Zhao Cheng is more decisive than the Huang Tiandao people, and the Huang Tiandao people are still reluctant to pass the heavens, thinking about guarding this gateway out of the Southern Wilderness, and plotting against the Southern Wilderness.

But what Zhao Cheng wanted was to give up everything to sweep the Southern Wilderness, accumulate grain, build a high wall, and slowly become the king.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for the king to succeed!

……

On the other side, in the big tent, Wu Qi's face was gloomy like water, it had been more than half a month, Wu Yuan had not heard from him at all, although he didn't want to admit it, but he knew that with the supplies that Wu Yuan had brought, whether it went well or not, he should have returned a long time ago.

Now that he has not returned, he can be sure that something must have happened to him.

It's just that no matter how he thinks, he can't imagine where such a capable person comes from in Huang Tianjun.

If there really is such a character, how could the 50,000 Huang Tianjun be defeated by him with one blow?!

"Could it be that God deliberately wants to break the destiny of my Wu family......"

Wu Qi had such a thought swirling in his heart.

His sons are not successful, only Wu Yuan can be entrusted with the great cause, otherwise, this troubled world, in the hands of other sons, is a curse or a blessing, not enough ability, if it is a peaceful era, at least the health of the family can be guaranteed, but in this era, no talent is the biggest sin.

Even if you don't fight for the dragon, many times, it is unacceptable to fight or not.

He is undoubtedly a heroic figure, 32 counties in the Southern Wilderness, 13 cities, he occupies 3 cities and 6 counties, with a population of more than one million under his rule, and the Wu family has been striving for five generations in a row, which has today's results.

And in his generation, not only can he be better than his ancestors, but the son he gave birth to is even more like a tiger and a wolf.

Wu Qi himself is old, but he wants to raise his son.

In the future, in this world, it may not be impossible to have the surname Wu.

But now, Wu Yuan is gone.

Wu Qi had a gloomy face, and at this moment, he was still holding a holy decree in his hand, which was the holy decree of the imperial court to pardon his general, General Pingnan, this grace was beyond his expectations.

After all, although he sent twenty boxes of gold and silver treasures to the chief eunuch in the court, he thought that it would be very good to be able to get the title of a miscellaneous general.

He is in the Southern Wilderness, and the general's name is Pingnan, the meaning of this can not be said to be meaningless, and even he almost thought that the gold and silver he sent were not only twenty boxes, but two hundred boxes......

If there was no matter of Wu Yuan, after receiving this will, he would definitely be ecstatic, but now, with no successor, this reward may not be a blessing, but a curse, a catastrophe.

And more importantly, the heir he believed in his heart was dead, which made him feel a little bit like the emperor's hegemony turned his head empty.

He worked hard to manage and calculate, and finally accumulated a little family fund, but there was no successor......

The unwillingness and resentment in this simply made him want to go crazy!

"Mr. Liu, how many captured Yellow Sky thieves are there now?!"

Wu Qi asked suddenly.

That Mr. Liu, a Confucian who looked to be about forty years old, heard this, combined with the situation of his lord during this time, his heart jumped immediately, and he immediately bowed down, and said: "The killing of the prisoner is unknown, it is against the will of the people, and I hope the lord will think twice!" ”

As he spoke, the Confucian scholar struck the ground with his first blow, and there was a bang.

"Say, how many?!"

Wu Qi said tiredly.

"There are ......, more than 12,000 people ......"

Mr. Liu said in a low voice.

When Wu Qi heard this, he closed his eyes, and recalled in his mind the dream half a month ago, in which his son looked at himself covered in blood and died, as if to say, Father, why don't you save me......

"Huangtu hegemony, Huangtu hegemony, hehe......"

Wu Qi muttered, and then suddenly opened his eyes.

"Pass my military orders, and kill them all."

Wu Qi waved his hand and tried to stand up, but he swayed, did not stand firmly, and fell on the chair.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was old, very old.

Looking at the spot of light on the top of the big tent, he only felt that he had lost all his strength.

For the impermanence of destiny, for the first time, he felt so deeply.

"Think about what you once wanted, think about it, young ambition, sea and sky......"

"In the snap of his fingers, time changed suddenly, the young man was white-headed, his spirit was empty, he regretted calling the child, looking for the marquis ......"

Listening to the screams faintly coming from my ears, I murmured, unconsciously, tears slipped down.
