Chapter 099: Dead Dao Friends Don't Die Poor Dao (Guaranteed, Ask for Subscription)
In the 14th year of Jingde, April 28.
On the grounds that the two families of Wang and Zhao intended to rebel and cause rebellion, Emperor Qianhuang united with the five great masters to besiege and kill the two grandmasters of Wang and Zhao in Yujing Xishan Hongyuan, and the whole city was robbed of their henchmen.
Ye Cheng, the newly promoted Taiwu Grandmaster, on the bank of the Tonghe River, slashed the great reverse grandmaster Zhao Zanglong.
As the news spread from Yujing to the nineteen states of the world, the world was shocked!
In the six southeastern states that bore the brunt of the attack, the bandit rebellion had only subsided for a few months, and it was once again in turmoil.
Yuanzhou, Cangxu City.
It's a humble city.
The population is also only a few tens of thousands.
However, because it is located in the southeast corner of Yuanzhou, bordering Weizhou, Yuezhou, and Jianzhou, it will also become an important strategic location.
Ye Cheng brought a large number of people to settle here, and it was already five days after leaving Beijing.
The first to arrive here was the martial arts power of the Weizhou Yueqing Sect.
The martial arts forces of the other four great grandmasters will also arrive one after another to form a real martial arts legion.
Inside the newly established camp.
Ye Cheng sat in the tent.
From time to time, black-clothed guards came to report on the situation in the six southeastern states during this period.
What happened in Yujing has already been transmitted to the six southeastern states through various channels.
The Wang and Zhao families are naturally unwilling to be destroyed, and have united the party forces, held high the banner of the Qing monarch's side, entered the king of Beijing and Qin, and are rapidly gathering troops in the six southeastern states.
"It seems that the Wang and Zhao families have long been opposed."
Ye Cheng looked at the latest information, and the troops gathered by the Wang and Zhao families were as high as 200,000.
This astonishing speed of gathering troops is simply terrifying.
If you don't have adequate preparation, you can't do it in a hurry.
Thinking of the bandit rebellion that lasted for several years, the Wang and Zhao families simply used the bandit rebellion as a cover and have been actively building an army.
Or that those bandits who have been eradicated endlessly are themselves an army built by the Wang and Zhao families.
It is no wonder that the Wang and Zhao families were able to exterminate the bandit rebellion at such a fast speed before, and this is the reason.
It only needs to kill some good people and disguise them as bandits, which can be said to be the work of clearing out bandits.
"Where have the other four factions gone? Is there any news? ”
After Ye Cheng dropped the information, he asked Zhao Fang.
Although Zhao Fang is only an acquired ninefold cultivator, it is very convenient to use, so Ye Cheng attaches great importance to it and stays by his side to temporarily serve as the person in charge of intelligence.
If you have a chance in the future, you can assign a spiritual object to Zhao Fang.
"Mansion Master, the people from the Heavenly Sword Gate are almost here, and the farthest Landa Temple will probably take more than a day."
Zhao Fang hurriedly said.
"Then wait until they get there."
Ye Cheng said.
"The lord of the mansion, the warriors sent by the Yueqing Sect don't seem to be particularly elite."
Zhao Fang hesitated for a moment, and then said.
"The little bit of caution of the five families, how can this seat not know."
Ye Cheng said indifferently.
The five families obviously wanted the imperial court to be the main force, so they shouted and cheered, preserved their strength, and reaped the benefits of the fishermen.
Although the forces of the Wang and Zhao families no longer have a grandmaster, there are a lot of innate martial artists, and the formation of a large army should not be underestimated.
A well-disciplined and well-trained army can suppress or even neutralize the martial intent of the grandmaster when the fighting spirit is rolling and the morale is high.
All of them are united, the military soul is condensed, the grandmaster avoids, and the gods and ghosts are easy.
Therefore, in the case of a large army battle, the role of the Grandmaster will be greatly reduced.
Once besieged by a warlike army, even the grandmaster will be hated.
The reason why Ye Cheng was able to deter the Splitting Wind Army with his martial intent at the beginning was to seize the momentum first, capture the boss Ma Yunlong, and then control the general trend as a secret envoy of the Sky Survey, disintegrating the morale of the Splitting Wind Army.
Otherwise, if he really encountered the Splitting Wind Army with a military spirit still in mind and high morale, Ye Cheng would never dare to take the risk.
"Mansion Master, are we going to let them pick up the bargain?"
Zhao Fang said.
"How is it possible, this seat has its own way."
Ye Cheng smiled indifferently.
For the calculations of the five families, he already has a way to deal with it.
This time is a great opportunity to dismantle the alliance of the five factions.
Two days later.
The martial artists of the five great sects have all arrived in Cangxu City.
The number of warriors in each family is around 2,000.
The amount is quite a few.
But none of the five true elite martial arts seeds were sent.
Most of the innate martial artists are also the kind of old ones.
Inside the Cangxu camp, with the arrival of the five warriors, it suddenly became crowded.
There are more than 10,000 people from the five families, and the ones brought by Ye Cheng, plus the heads pulled from various states all the way, are also more than 5,000 people.
A martial arts army of 16,000 men.
Although most of them are internal breath martial artists, at least they are also more than four levels of internal breath.
And as a top-level combat power of the innate martial arts, there are close to one hundred and thirty people.
This is enough to sweep away any martial arts legion.
After Ye Cheng was formed in the Martial Arts Legion, he handed over the task of training to Cao Qingzhou, the commander of the White Tiger Battalion.
This Cao Qingzhou is not only a congenital martial artist, but also a military general, marching and arranging, and military training will be his own job.
Although the Martial Arts Legion is different from ordinary armies, it pays more attention to individual force.
However, the cooperation between individual forces, when applied to the combat of the legion, can produce an incomparably amazing increase in combat power.
The reason why the Martial Arts Legion is called the Martial Arts Legion is that no matter what level of martial artists, they need to be like ordinary troops, so that orders and prohibitions are enforced, discipline is like iron, and military orders are like mountains.
Ye Cheng is very self-aware, and it will definitely not work for him to train the martial arts legion.
Leave professional things to professional people.
He just needs to use good people.
More than ten days passed.
Several counterinsurgency corps arrived in Yuanzhou one after another.
Among them, the Halberd Legion was the closest to the Martial Arts Legion in Yecheng, and it was also encamped on the other side of Cangxu City.
Speaking of Xue Yan, the commander of the Halberd Legion, he can also be regarded as an acquaintance of Ye Cheng.
"I've seen Ye Hou."
Within the tent, the commanders of several major legions took the initiative to come to see Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng is not only the commander of the newly formed Martial Arts Legion, but also the supreme commander of the six southeastern states in this rebellion.
The other counterinsurgency legions need to cooperate with the Martial Arts Corps.
"Bosses, don't be polite."
Ye Chenggao sat on the main seat and motioned for them to sit down.
Suddenly, the commanders of the six legions were all sitting on the left and right.
Among the six legion commanders, there is the newly appointed commander of the Splitting Wind Legion, Bai Boyan, who is a person from Bai Guofu and Bai Yulang's cousin.
This can be regarded as a kind of wooing of the Emperor Qian's Bai Guofu.
The meeting lasted more than two hours, mainly to discuss various coordination issues.
Communication is crucial.
A detailed set of means of communication must be developed.
This set of communication and liaison means naturally cannot be achieved by relying solely on intelligence agencies such as the Black Guards, and must be independent and secretive.
After the talk, except for the commander of the Halberd Legion, several other legion commanders left one after another.
The place where they were stationed was not in the Cangxu City area, the distance was relatively far, and their commanders could not stay away from the battalion for too long.
"General Xue, I didn't expect the two of us to meet on such an occasion."
Ye Cheng looked at Xue Yan, who was dressed in green armor, and said with a chuckle.
It's a bit of an old friend.
Among the old people in King Jing's Mansion, Ye Cheng and Xue Yan should be the most familiar with it.
"Although Xue is outside, I can hear all kinds of legends about Ye Hou in Yujing from time to time, but I didn't expect that in just ten years, Ye Hou has already become a grandmaster."
Xue Yan didn't have the restraint she had at the beginning, and said with emotion.
More than ten years ago, he was an innate martial artist.
More than ten years later, he was still a congenital warrior, but he became the commander of the first army.
More than ten years ago, Ye Cheng was just a small internal guard eunuch.
More than ten years later, Ye Cheng has become a world-famous martial arts master.
14th year of Jingde, May 18.
The rebellion in the six southeastern states has been going on for more than half a month.
Weizhou, Daqingshan.
This is where the mountain gate of Yueqingzong is located.
Guanghan Temple.
"Sect Master, the big thing is not good, the main force of the rebels has arrived in Red Hucheng and is coming directly to my Crescent Moon County."
A middle-aged man said anxiously towards the red-clothed figure sitting on the throne.
"Is there still no action on the part of the imperial counterinsurgency army?"
The Yueqing Sect's main cultivator, Red Frost, had a grim expression.
Yueqingzong is in Weizhou, and it is the first to bear the brunt.
Although she had been prepared for a long time, she was still stunned by the size of the rebel army of the Wang and Zhao families.
In just a dozen days, hundreds of thousands of troops were gathered.
Now a main rebel army with more than 100,000 troops has come straight to the Yueqing Sect under the banner of revenge for the two grandmasters.
"The reply over there is that the army has not yet completed its training, and we need to hold out for a while, and moreover, we are asked to ask the other four families for help, so as to hold off this main rebel army and buy time for the imperial army to defeat the Jiangshan camp."
The middle-aged man said with a dejected expression.
Bang!
Lian Hongshuang slapped his palm on the arm of the chair, and his face was frosty.
How could she not know that Ye Cheng was doing it on purpose.
The martial arts legion formed by the imperial court, whether it was her Yueqing Sect or the other four, only sent a group of martial artists who were not elite.
In their opinion, it is definitely impossible for the imperial court to watch the erosion of the six southeastern states, and it will definitely go all out.
Unexpectedly, the commander of the imperial court, the newly promoted grandmaster Ye Cheng, would not move and let the main force of the rebels threaten Yueqingzong.
For any manager, I'm afraid I don't have the guts.
But Yecheng has it.
Because he is the youngest new Taiwu Grandmaster since the Qianguo Kingdom.
"I'll go myself."
Yueqing Sect Master Lian Hongshuang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Then her red robe flashed, and she disappeared from the main seat.
She didn't go to the Cangxu camp in person, but went to find the other four sect masters.
At this time, the Grandmasters of the Four Sects had already secretly arrived near the six southeastern states.
As long as the imperial army breaks through the main force of the rebels, they will lead their respective martial arts forces into the six southeastern states to fight for territory and resources.
If she can convince the other four sect masters and let them assist Yueqing Sect with the martial arts power of the four factions, not to mention repelling the main force of the rebels, she will definitely be able to block the rebel army.
In the Cangxu camp.
Ye Cheng sat in the tent, holding a letter.
It was an urgent letter for help sent by Yue Qingzong.
After he finished reading it, his face was put aside as usual, and he said indifferently: "Tell the people of the Yueqing Sect to let them support it for a while, our side has already begun to deploy." ”
"Yes, Lord."
Zhao Fang nodded and hurriedly went out.
"Lao Bai, do you think I'm a little too cold-blooded and ruthless?"
Ye Cheng suddenly sighed and said.
"It's not a little, but it's very cold-blooded and ruthless, every day it drags on, I don't know how many people in these six southeastern states will suffer."
Bai Yulang sat in the corner, drinking wine and said.
"Yes, under the war, the people suffer the most, but sometimes, for the sake of the overall situation, they have to make some sacrifices."
Ye Cheng sighed and said.
He didn't know why he became such a person, and if it was in his previous life, he would definitely not be able to do it.
Perhaps it was this cruel world that changed him.
He had to adapt.
"Mansion Master, you were originally very humane, but since you became a grandmaster, it seems that you have changed a little."
Bai Yulang said suddenly.
"The Grandmaster has changed since then?"
Ye Cheng was stunned.
Has it changed?
He thought back to his experience after becoming a grandmaster a few years ago, and it seemed that it had changed a lot.
At least my former self, I seem to be very low-key and cautious.
But now it's getting more and more high-profile and in the limelight.
Could it be that once a person has mastered great power, some dark factors in his heart will also be released?
"If I examine my body three times a day, I will know that there is nothing wrong with it."
He suddenly remembered a sentence that Zeng Tzu had said in the Analects of his previous life, and he suddenly felt empowered.
So, he hurriedly sorted out the various experiences in recent years in his heart and began to reflect on himself.
"Come on, beat the drums and gather troops."
Ye Cheng suddenly got up and said.
"Mansion Master, have you finally figured it out, are you going to send troops?"
Bai Yulang was overjoyed when he heard it.
"No, Ben Shuai wants to see the results of the whole training of the Martial Arts Legion during this time."
Ye Cheng walked out of the tent as he spoke.
Bai Yulang was stunned when he heard this.
"By the way, I have a task for you."
Suddenly, Ye Cheng stopped at the door of the handsome tent, turned around and said to Bai Yulang.
"Ah, I just came back, and I haven't rested for the past ten days."
Bai Yulang's eyes widened.
"Don't you want to put down the rebellion as soon as possible and give the people a peaceful life? Or are you the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person? ”
Ye Cheng said in a deep voice.
Bai Yulang was directly dumbfounded.
The lord of this house is now learning and selling.
Yueqingzong.
Lian Hongshuang returned to the Guanghan Hall with an angry face.
"These four bastards are hiding from me, and they only send such a few people to support, and they are as unreliable as that eunuch in what they can do."
She almost crushed her teeth.
How could she not understand the thoughts of those four grandmasters.
Isn't it just that you are afraid of losing the elite warriors of the sect?
After all, the main force of the rebels, hundreds of thousands of troops.
Although these armies have just been formed, they all know the details, in the previous few years of the bandit rebellion, the Wang and Zhao families had long plotted against each other, secretly supporting the bandits, forming a rebel army, and the combat power was not trivial.
If the four families really sent elite warriors to support the Yueqing Sect, even if they could repel and defeat the main force of the rebels, the four families would suffer heavy losses.
This kind of main force of the rebel army, which has been formed, has won a series of victories, and it is already full of momentum and extremely strong fighting spirit.
Even if the five great grandmasters attack together, I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress the rebels with military intent.
It was based on this consideration that the other four did not want to get involved at all.
Anyway, dead friends don't die poor.
If the Yue Qing Sect really suffered heavy losses and greatly reduced its power, it would also be beneficial to the four of them.
"These bastards, don't you know that as long as the five of us continue to form an alliance, we can make the Emperor of Qianhuang jealous and dare not suppress our five factions at will?"
Lian Hongshuang cursed viciously.
But in fact, if she encounters this situation, she will also sit back and watch.
Who would consume their own elite warriors, but help others guard their homes?
Fools do.
The other four great grandmasters are undoubtedly not fools.
Very smart.
Even if Yue Qingzong suffered heavy losses, the imperial army still had to take action after all.
When the time comes, they will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
The biggest losses were only on the two sides of the Yueqing Sect and the imperial court.
The four of them can share more benefits.
