Chapter 54: The Plague - Legend
Wei He showed a very strong individual combat ability when he first joined the army, in the face of a group of five realms of the earth demons, at that time only four realms of Wei He slaughtered the entire earth demon team, and when Wei He's commander arrived, Wei He was cutting off the head of the last earth demon, only to see Wei He standing on the back of the big guy with all his strength to go down the huge head and roll to the ground, Wei He picked up the monster's head with one hand and dragged the blunt war knife with the other, When he walked towards the chief, he really startled those people, according to those who witnessed it back then, at that time they thought that Wei He was possessed by demons, but later confirmed that it was a false alarm.
After that battle, Wei He, who was only sixteen years old, was exceptionally promoted to the commander of a thousand people, not because the generals above valued Wei He, but because at that time, the Great Liang put the center of the attack on the eastern countries in the Western Regions, and there were few people at all, and the upper head was still worried that no one was willing to go to the Western Regions, and now Wei He volunteered to go, they naturally couldn't let go of this unjust boss, and the military department was also very generous and directly gave him the position of a thousand people, but the military department also told Wei He, I have the officials, but the soldiers don't need to talk, after all, the soldiers are sent to the east, where is someone to give him. But Wei He did not give up going to the Western Regions because there were no soldiers, he just calmly made a request to the people in the military department: all the captured materials belonged to him, and the military department had no right to dispose of his spoils.
The military department agreed to Wei He without thinking about it, after all, it is still a question of whether Wei He can survive in that ghost place, and even if he wins, he can get a few copper plates from those guys. Wei He, who got the promise, took a dozen recruits all the way west to the Western Regions, where Wei He successfully persuaded several local tribes to join him, and the reason why those tribes joined Wei He was because Wei He told them that Xiao Jing had long known that the people here lived a miserable life, and they were always harassed by nomads, but because of the southern and eastern countries, it was difficult for the Liang army to come to help, and now Wei He, the general of the Western Road, was ordered to integrate the tribes of the Western Regions. I hope that the people of the Western Regions can take up their weapons under the leadership of Wei He and resist foreign enemies together.
Where can these tribesmen tell the difference between the armor of the commander and the general, and they also feel that the general of the Great Liang in front of them does not seem to be a person who can deceive people, so they also joined Wei He's team in a daze, this time Wei He's men have more than 3,000 cavalry, and when Wei He led such a large cavalry to the camp of the Great Liang in the Western Regions, the regular generals of the camp were confused by Wei He, he had never seen a thousand commanders under so many sergeants, and they were all cavalry. After Wei He also privately explained the ins and outs of the matter to the general, after learning the truth of the matter, the general also knew that Wei He's true identity must not be exposed now, so he ordered the army to say that Wei He was actually sent by the king to carry out a secret mission, in order to hide people's eyes and ears before wearing a general's uniform, the tribesmen who were still a little suspicious immediately dispelled their last worries when they heard it, and were happy that they had found an organization.
After that, Wei He led this foreign cavalry to fight in the desert for decades, destroying more than ten countries of all sizes, laying down most of the Western Regions for Daliang, and also opening up the trade route to the West, which greatly alleviated the economic problems that Daliang was most worried about. In the following hundred years, Wei He pacified the Liao State for the Great Liang, and the southwest and other places can be described as outstanding meritorious service, in the war against the invasion of the southern forest ghosts in the past few years, Wei He also personally took an elite to behead the enemy's main general, Wei He and Xiao Xuan belong to two styles of generals, Xiao Xuan likes to strategize, and Wei He believes that going straight into the heart of the enemy is what a soldier should do, as a very small number of high-level cultivators in the Great Liang generals, Wei He is extremely confident in his own strength.
Wei He had already broken through the Ten Realms decades ago, if it weren't for the fact that the successive battles had delayed him for too much time, maybe today's Great Liang would have one more Mortal Immortal Realm cultivator, and the cultivation of the Ten Realms would be matched with a bloody secret technique, even an ordinary Earth Immortal Wei He could fight.
In terms of merit, there is no one in this room who can compare with this heaven-sent general, so when Wei He got up, even Han Cheng obediently closed his noisy mouth, and after getting up, Wei He looked at Han Cheng coldly, and then looked at Xiao Guang who was sitting upright, "The demon army has been repelled by us, and they will not have large-scale invasions in the next few decades, the people in the southern part of the Yunnan region are the most severely affected, and the people there still need our help, please know that helping them is also helping ourselves, It was not only the southern gateway to the girder, but also an extremely important link in the trade route. ”
"Since the general has said so, isn't Han unaware of current affairs if he sings the opposite tune again? Aid is okay, but there are too many troops in Yunnan, in order to protect those guys, hundreds of thousands of troops have been mobilized from all over the country to help, since the demons will not invade the army in Yunnan again, shouldn't they also be dismissed back to various places, and a part of the army should be reduced to reduce military spending. ”
"Look, isn't this a result of the discussion?" Xiao Guang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit back in their seats, and then spoke, "There is no need for a few people to be so-for-tat, everyone here is a loyal minister of the Great Liang and the Southern Kingdom. The people of Dian have indeed suffered over the years, and it is time to give the people there a little time to heal the wounds left behind. But what Han Cheng said is not unreasonable, we have spent too much blood and money to fill the hole in the Dian Land, and now that our enemies have broken apart and fled back to their damn forest, I don't think we need so many soldiers to waste time there. Xiao Guang paused to observe the expressions of the courtiers on the side before continuing, "As long as we implement the Fortified Clearing, the number of those guys will drop significantly in a few years, and by that time they will no longer be able to pose a threat to us. ”
"Then why don't we move these armies further west, Your Majesty?" Wu Guogong Qian Xingwen asked, although his beard had turned gray, it did not affect his brain in the slightest and was as sharp as before.
As soon as this proposal came out, it was immediately echoed by Feng Rui, the Duke of Min, and I saw the barbarian slam the table and say loudly, "It makes sense, if the demons no longer pose a threat, if we transfer the extra soldiers to the mountains further west, not only can we deal with those damn rats, but also allow these soldiers not to face the problem of being disbanded, it is really a double win." "The rats in the mountains that Feng Rui said refer to those rat clans led by Jueqi, they do not belong to any faction of rat clans, they only obey their king, the great Jueqi.
