[704] Raising war with war
The white clouds are long, and the sea breeze is blowing. The waves on the sea are surging and roaring. The waves that rolled with the wind washed up on the shore and hit the reef on the shore, shattered into patches of spray and foam, and slowly retreated into the sea.
In the military harbor of Baoqian Pass, hundreds of huge fortune ships are lined up in the bay of the military port, which is very majestic and magnificent. And in the pass, the black background silver dragon banner of the Northern Yin Dynasty was flying up and down with the strong sea breeze, and the hunting sounded continuously.
The guards on the sentry were preoccupied with standing guard, not daring to be lazy. And the other sergeants were not lazy, either cultivating the mountains in the mountains north of the pass, or actively participating in the daily training in the various school fields in the pass, under the scorching sun and scorching sun.
I have to say that Gong Mingyi has really managed this place well. At least the soldiers and horses did not relax in the slightest, and they did not panic when they encountered any enemy situation.
And in the lobby of the Taishou Yamen, all the ghost generals who were immersed in the darkness in the hall were all stunned after hearing Gong Mingyi's words.
According to the military regulations of the Northern Yin Dynasty, preparing for war does not necessarily mean fighting. So, is this preparation for war going to be a war? If so, who are you going to fight with? These questions all linger in the hearts of those ghost officials and generals, and it is difficult to dissipate them for a while.
To put it bluntly, they still don't want a war. After a few days of peace, who wants to go to war?
They were suddenly no longer afraid of Gong Mingyi, they all raised their heads and looked at Gong Mingyi, who had no trace and the cold glint in his eyes disappeared in a blink of an eye, and there was a look of confusion in his eyes.
"From today onwards, the battalions will begin to count the storage of weapons and grain and grass, and all the ammunition and weapons sent by the imperial court, as well as the grain, grass and ghost elixir, will begin to be counted in storage, and then loaded into ships in batches. Gong Mingyi sat upright, glanced at the subordinates in front of him, and said to them slowly: "And let the sergeants also pay close attention to training, do not have the slightest slackness, and be ready to pull out the camp at any time." ”。
After that, Gong Mingyi stopped talking. The flattery of his subordinates can only make his fatigue disappear only for a while, but it cannot be completely eliminated. At this time, the exhaustion surged up again, making him a little tired, and his eyelids were a little heavy. He had no choice but to lean on the back of the high chair and close his eyes slightly to recuperate.
A ghost slave also walked in at this time with the hot tea that had just been brewed, and after respectfully putting the tea cup on the handsome table in front of Gong Mingyi, he lowered his head and retreated.
And his words also conveyed to his subordinates that a war was about to break out. It seems that this preparation for war is not a rainy day, nor is it prepared, it is really going to fight.
This made those silent ghost officials and ghost generals can't help but secretly make a small calculation in their hearts.
"If you go back to your lordship, if you just need to prepare for a rainy day, the soldiers in our pass are fine. At the same time, a white-haired ghost officer on the right hand side of the bearded ghost general spoke to Gong Mingyi again, breaking the silence and dullness in the hall, and said slowly: "But we only have about 100 warships in the pass, and the number of air cavalry and infantry sergeants is less than 500,000. Cannons were even more scarce, with only a thousand guns. You have to defend the pass and fight, if it's a sneak attack, it's okay, but if you fight a big war, it's really a bit of a difficult task. ”。
Although this ghost official did not rush to ask Gong Mingyi who he was fighting and who he was fighting with, he had a vague hunch that the target they were about to attack would be the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
Thinking of this, the ghost official, who paused, cautiously asked again: "By the way, my lord, you haven't said who you are preparing for the war?"
"Nine Secluded Countries. Gong Mingyi, who lifted the teacup, replied softly, then calmly picked up the lid of the cup, slowly scraped the tea powder in the cup, and a trace of imperceptible excitement flashed in his eyes: "Xiao Shizhu!"
Gong Mingyi's words were not loud, but they made the ghost official who asked him feel a pound when he heard it. And the other ghost officials and generals in the lobby were also stunned suddenly, and they all had fear in their hearts.
Even the ghosts whose fingers and arms trembled slightly are no longer few.
Among them, some of them were ghost generals who survived the first attack on Shuoyue Island launched by the Northern Yin Dynasty a few years ago. There are also some survivors who survived under the subsequent retaliatory actions of the Nine Shadows, under the shelling of the night raid on the calf pass, they stepped on the shit luck, and finally crawled out of the dilapidated ruins after the shelling.
For the fierce ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, as well as the sharp sound of advanced firearms breaking through the sky, they still remember it vividly. Every time I think about it, I feel palpitations.
Although they all knew that Emperor Xudu asked Gong Mingyi to follow the order to govern the calf pass, actively train and recruit troops, and open up the wasteland and store grain just to fight the Nine Shadows Kingdom one day, they didn't expect this day to come so soon.
Even after making so many preparations, the soldiers holding the calf pass still can't fight the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and all the ghosts present know this.
What's more, the Nine Shadows Country has been like a broken bamboo over the years, attacking and defending must be solid, the land area is getting bigger and bigger, and the national strength is getting stronger and stronger. All the ghost officials here believed that with only these soldiers and horses and equipment holding the calf pass, they would be able to conquer three or five ghost towns at most, even if their soldiers did not want to fight with their lives.
Then he waited for the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to surround him, and then the ghost soldiers and ghost generals of the Northern Yin Dynasty held hands together and broke their souls and gave the ghost their lives.
To face the Nine Shadows Army with invincible firearms, the soldiers of the entire calf pass used their flesh and blood to fight a desperate battle of cutting off children and grandchildren, so that those ghost officials and ghost generals really had no bottom in their hearts.
"Do not be afraid. Gong Mingyi, who seemed to have seen through their careful thoughts, began to sweeten his throat after the hot tea was swallowed, and the fatigue on his body faded a little again.
"Your Majesty will send us troops. Gong Mingyi, who put down the teacup, never showed the slightest panic and nervousness.
When the tea cup landed firmly on the handsome case, he gave a look to a Xuandi army with a burden on his back.
The Xuan Emperor Jun immediately understood, took off the burden on his back with his backhand and opened it, and twitched a roll of rolled up blue and yellow from it, with brocade moire patterns all over his body, and countless silk books with ghost heads painted.
Seeing this, those ghost officials and ghost generals in the hall immediately turned solemn, and they all dressed in robes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Xuan Emperor Army, and pressed their foreheads against the cold and hard floor tiles.
What the Xuan Emperor Army held in his hand was the holy decree of the Emperor Xudu, the supreme order and instruction of the Yin Tianzi in the Netherworld.
In the muffled sound of their kowtows, the Xuan Emperor Army had already held the gold-pasted scroll of the thing in his hand, and suddenly unfolded the rolled up silk.
"The edict of the Emperor of the Yin Tianzi Xudu said: Xiao Shizhu anti-thieves have been entrenched in the south for a long time, and there are many poor mountains and bad waters, and the evil words confuse the people and bewitch the ghosts, which makes the ghosts of the underworld panic. He also gathered a mob to oppose the people, rebelled for many years, killed the ghosts of the court, the ghosts, the officials, the ghosts, the soldiers, the ghosts, the ghosts, the king, the law, the eyes and the son of heaven, has become a danger and cancer that endangers the order of the court, and must be removed. The Xuan Emperor army cleared his throat, looked at the vigorous font of the dragon and snake on the silk book, and read aloud one by one: "Now that I am desperate, I ordered Gong Mingyi, the Taishou of the calf pass, to be the general of Zhennan's rebellion, and to allocate three million elite ghost soldiers, 10,000 warships, thousands of Guanyuecha and hundreds of thousands of naval cavalry, which are under Gong Mingyi's dispatch and command. On the day when the army arrived at the Baocalf Pass, Gong Mingyi immediately led the army to the front line to fight! Exterminate the nine rebellious thieves, behead the anti-thief Xiao Shizhu, remove the danger of cancer for the underworld, and return the ten continents and six seas to the bright future. Chin this!".
With so many ghost soldiers and support, he can indeed fight with the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
And this holy decree, and the loud voice of the Xuan Emperor Army who read the holy decree, are tantamount to a reassuring pill. The ghost officials and ghost generals who are crawling on the ground are no longer so bottomless in their hearts, and at the same time, their fear has been reduced a little......
Chun Han walked quickly, heading towards the Diyin Peak in the middle of the seventy-two peaks of the Earth Evil.
There are countless strange stones of various forms on this mountain, most of them are like knives and axes, and the dog's teeth are staggered all over the mountain, and there are many domineering in the majestic and magnificent. And in the cracks of those natural stone walls, there are still hundred-year-old pines, making the mountains colorful. The top of the mountain was originally Tu Hongqi's military yamen, and now it has become the place where King Yama stayed.
King Yama has been living here since he arrived, and he has not moved his nest.
Chun Han went to the top of the mountain to find the king of Yama.
Chun Han walked to the ghost yamen, crossed the gate with the token in his hand, and walked straight towards the beam-lifting lobby.
King Yama was sitting in this hall, looking through the battle reports from all over Dongying Continent. Now most of the military power of this Qingqiu Fox Country is under the control of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and King Yama is the ghost who controls these military powers in Dongying Continent instead of Xiao Shizhu.
The swift march of the spring cold brought a gust of wind. King Yama, who heard the sound of the wind, raised his head and rubbed his eyes. The old ghost who has lived for thousands of years is also a little older, and he has seen too many dense words in the official war report, and the king of Yama is also a little dazzled.
Just took advantage of the spring cold to enter the door, and took his eyes off the official documents and battle reports, so as to give his pair of tricks to rest and rest.
"I'm a little old, and my eyes are dazzled when I see too many things. King Yama smiled at Chunhan, who was already standing beside him, and raised his hand to rub his eyes.
"Do you want the ghost doctor to come and show you?" Chun Han saw that he rubbed his eyes red all of a sudden, swallowed what he was going to say, and said with concern: "These eyes are all red, why don't I go and ask the ghost doctor to help you take a look?"
"Not really. After waving his hand, King Yama, after indicating that there was nothing serious, looked at Chun Han, who was oozing fine sweat on his forehead, and asked, "Is there something urgent?"
But he didn't see the slightest panic on Chunhan's face, so King Yama didn't think much about it.
The cold in the lobby made Chunhan, who had beads of sweat, feel a little cold. After wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, she took out an official document from her sleeve and handed it to King Yama with both hands.
"The Qingqiu Fox King agreed, the seventy-two peaks of this earth are ours, and this is the edict issued by the Qingqiu Fox King. When King Yama slowly unfolded the official document and looked at it carefully, Chun Han said again: "There are also the two southern counties of the Qingqiu Fox Country, which are also ours." However, the Qingqiu Fox King has one condition......".
Chun Han's words came to an abrupt end before he finished speaking, and King Yama also saw that the edict clearly stated that from now on, the Nine Shadows Kingdom would feed the ghost people of the two southern counties of the Qingqiu Fox Country where the seventy-two peaks were located.
That is to say, from today onwards, the ghost people of these two counties have nothing to do with the Qingqiu Fox Country, and they have all become the ghost people of the Nine Ghost Country with this edict. In the future, their eating, drinking, Lazing and sleeping will have to be managed by the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
It's not good that the burden of Qingqiu Country has been lightened all of a sudden.
"Old fox, really old fox. King Yama smiled coldly and put down the official document in his hand.
"What should I do, King Yama?" Now Chun Han couldn't hold back, and an anxious look suddenly spread all over his face: "We don't have enough money and food." ”。
"It's easy to do, just feed the war with war. The king of Yama, however, remained calm.
