Chapter 60: The Soldier Saint Kongming

On January 15, 1015 in the Chinese calendar, after experiencing a great battle involving millions of people, Kong Ming stood in the snow for 4 days, during which he went from war to nature, and then became a saint in this ignorance, and he was a rare soldier saint among the saints. The Sage is not only a level, but also a recognition of individual efforts by heaven and earth, a reward, of course, if it becomes a Sage with fighting spirit or magic, it means that there will be a powerful force, and other professions become Sages It also becomes a special talent, and some of these people have a status in the empire far beyond the ordinary Sages. For example, special saints such as the Medical Saint, the Soldier Saint, the Literary Saint, and the Craftsman Saint are all unique and rare talents in a certain aspect, so they are respected by the empire and various forces, although their combat power is not as strong as that of the Holy Magister and the Sword Saint, but they can do many things that neither of them can do. Just like the Soldier Saint, the person who achieves the Soldier Saint may not have blood on his hands, but the people who die directly or indirectly under his soldiers will never be in the minority, just like Kong Ming, if he does not survive a hundred battles, then he will never be able to become a Soldier Saint. Such as the medical saint, this kind of saint can live and die people, flesh and bones, and survive in a place where battle is the main theme, and no one is injured, and at this time it shows their difference. For example, if the Sage of Literature educates the Quartet, how many Sages will become his disciples, will this kind of person use him to fight in a fight?

Now Kong Ming is obviously in a trance, the perception of the outside world has been reduced to the lowest point, in the mind, in the depths of the spirit, Kong Ming's forgotten things once again come to his heart, in this thoughtless and unconscious, he re-looks at everything that happens around him from a god-like perspective. When I look at it again, I feel the most real things that are buried deep in my heart under the shape of a thing--the original heart. The heart is the most fundamental point of a person's foothold, that is, the most fundamental attitude of a person's things, but at any time, we rarely have a deep scrutiny of it, because it is hidden in the deepest part of us. Our personal actions are all based on our own hearts, but as we grow older, gain more knowledge, and weigh our interests, our own hearts will eventually be surrounded by heavy fog. These fogs that surround our minds are often thought of as our own minds. The mind and the fog are confused by us in this way, so that we don't know what kind of person we are, because we have deviated from our heart, and we only live for the fog. Generally. Only children or the elderly who have gone through the vicissitudes of the world will really have their own hearts. Children don't need to say much, they haven't experienced the world. The mind is basically not covered by the fog. A qiē is respectful of the heart, eat if you want to eat, don't eat if you don't want to eat, sleep if you want to, don't sleep if you don't want to sleep, and say what you want. If they don't want to say it, they don't say it, it's what they think in their hearts, so why do they need any words to hide it? But their hearts will eventually fall, because they don't know what the real heart is. Because they have to go through the process of their hearts being surrounded by fog. On the other hand, those old people who see their hearts clearly, they have been washed by the world, and the washing of the world's affairs has removed the layers of fog added to their bodies, so they are the ones who really see their hearts clearly.

As a reward for the saint, but also as a saint must go through the journey, in the moment of becoming a saint, every saint will have a process of seeing the heart clearly, through the washing of the energy of heaven and earth, so that the heart can not be covered by the fog at a time, and at this time, it is also the time when all the saints are re-choosing the path, whether to obey the instructions of the heart, or continue to live in the fog, it is up to the individual, heaven and earth will not make any hints and hints to this choice of people, choose to live with the heart, there will be no going against the rules, choose to continue the foggy days, and there will be no going against the rulesThis is not to say that people who respect their hearts will become gods faster! More often than not, the guidance of the heart is just a way to make people recognize themselves.

At this time, Kong Ming seems to have returned to his childhood, before he was thrown away, the carefree life in the Yun Mansion, the love of his parents, the friendliness of his brothers, the respect of his servants, etc., were not lacking, but the disaster came in an instant, on a snowy day, a soothsayer came to the house, and Kong Ming saw his appearance clearly from his heart, as if his uncle at that time was called the soothsayer called Zhuge Yibu Master, in the words of the soothsayer, Kong Ming would become a person who had all kinds of harm and no benefit to the Yun family, but if the Yun family executed Kong Ming, then he would be punished more severelySo he could only escape this catastrophe if he was still out and resigned to his fate, so he was thrown out, and when Kong Ming was about to leave there, he did not hear the words of the soothsayer at that time, but now he suddenly heard it clearly, and the soothsayer finally said to him in a voice: "Sage of Soldiers, we will meet in the future, I hope that when the time comes, you will not mind what I am doing now, your path is under your feet, and my path is intertwined with you in front of you." ”

After Kong Ming was thrown, it all went with the flow, no one would arrange a child's future, even the fortune teller could not control Kong Ming's life, because once he forcibly intervened in a person's life again, then the future would produce countless possibilities, and these were not what he wanted, so from the moment he was thrown, Kong Ming began his own life. Wandering on the streets, picked up by an old magician, learning magic, being forced to conscript, and then began a career of endless conquest, three years of study in the Huayuan Empire, more to let him really grasp the essence of war, the study of magic has become a secondary thing, and the fighting spirit is not at all progressive, and then he was inadvertently involved in another war, and then another war, as if war is a part of his life, as a magic teacher, someone asked him to be the commander of the mercenary army, not right, the world is a very wonderful thing。 And just when he was about to enter the sainthood with the rules of space, the ghost sent the god to become a saint with war. If it is said that before becoming a saint, Kong Ming felt a kind of esoteric about the world. Now he laments more about the rules of the world, and only the rules allow this qiē to continue. And the soothsayer obviously peeked a glimpse of the future from the web of rules, as for why he chose Kong Ming, this is a puzzling thing, but now Kong Ming will not think about finding this person who has made him lose a lot of things, because no matter what, he came back to life and became a sage.

The manifestation of the heart made Kong Ming recognize himself again, and recognizing a person in this world may be a moment, or a thing. But it takes a long time to realize yourself. Because there are too many associations and too many egos when we recognize ourselves, only at the moment when our heart is clear, the person with that heart is the real self.

There weren't too many fancys to advance on the Huatian Continent. This is true whether it is promoted to the god level or the second level, only the breath is different. There is no such thing as celestial phenomena descending, aura penetrating the body, and the like. Advancing is nothing more than breaking a shackle. Then slowly fill up the things you need, whether it is magic or fighting energy, because these origins are the energy between heaven and earth. A person who has advanced to become a Sage in other ways can directly absorb these energies into his body, but it is up to him to choose whether he needs magic power or fighting energy, and there is no difference between them.

After the original mind, there is the realization of the Holy One. After every saint is promoted, heaven and earth will not be stingy with the rewards, and the reason why a saint becomes a saint is because he has been recognized by heaven and earth, and at this time. Heaven and earth will give every sage one more experience, or a direction. At this time, what Kong Ming got was the essence of war, and the use of war was actually the reward of heaven and earth, and it was better to say that Kong Ming's research on war had broken through the mortal and sanctified. War is a continuation of politics, a man-made action, no matter what the purpose, but war is the ultimate means to solve a disagreement between a two countries, and the soldier saint, after having a certain understanding of the war, the command of the war has reached a kind of realm of transcendence and sanctity, in other words, a soldier saint can solve a war in a sentence, or through the death of millions of people to lay their own results, but in any case, as a saint must have his own unique views on war。 Whether this view is tolerated by the world or not.

After the realization of the sage, Kong Ming began to further transform his body, introducing magic and fighting energy, and constantly strengthening the various parts of the body that tend to be more perfect. After all, the age of the sage can reach a kind of incredible age of more than a thousand, and it is impossible to achieve it without the strengthening and transformation of the body, which tends to kiss and harmonize with nature. However, now it can only use the surrounding energy to transform it little by little, which is not an overnight thing. Kong Ming slowly realized that the changes between every muscle in the body, every meridian, and every blood vessel strengthened little by little, and the biggest change was the place where the magic power, fighting energy, and spiritual power were stored, which was more than ten times larger than before, and every qiē was going in a good direction. Of course, since Kong Ming is not sanctified by swordsman or magic, compared to these two sanctified saints, his combat power is not outstanding, but if it is a group pick, a sage like Kong Ming can almost increase the synthetic combat power of a sage team by more than three times. This is the difference between a special saint and an ordinary saint.

"Whew!" After waking up, Kong Ming exhaled, after opening his eyes, a sharp edge flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared, he never thought that he would become a saint like this, he thought that he would become a saint with the fighting spirit of space rules, if that is the case, he can become the strongest among the saints, you know, the space rules are one of the strongest rules of all the rules, much stronger than the ordinary elemental laws, but now he has become a soldier saint in the ghost envoy gods, it can be seen that not only is the accident in the war too great, even in the cultivation。

Shaking his head, Kong Ming looked around, except for a small team of guards protecting him, the other officers of the mercenary army seemed to be busy, slowly moving, moving those joints that were numb from standing, and then Kong Ming returned to the hall, sat down and thought about the realization among the sages, although it was said that it had been consolidated earlier, but he still had to experience it. Thinking that the news of Kong Ming's awakening had already spread, Kong Ming had already sat down and had not yet completed his train of thought, when he found several army commanders and column commanders walking in.

"What's wrong?" Kong Ming looked at these people with a not very good face. It might not be good to know that things are really bad, because usually if there is something in Kongming, these people will handle it.

"Commander, I just received information that the Harvey Empire, with Alexander as the commander, led the Sixth and Eighth Army Corps, responsible for encircling and suppressing us! It is said that their guards have arrived in a nearby city, and I think that General Alexander has come to our surroundings, but we don't know exactly where he is for the time being. And the men of the Sixth and Eighth Legions have already begun to assemble and are coming this way, and it will take about a month and a half to reach the nearest city controlled by the Harvey Empire. Che Yu said. Everyone nodded. It was this one thing that worried them.

"What about our losses?" asked Ku Ming again.

"More than 200,000 died. There are countless wounds, and there are still more than 200,000 people still fighting power, but Ping, who has recruited 100,000 people, can count more than 300,000 people to fight. We only have 50,000 snow wolves left, but we have captured all the horses of the Seventh Legion. There were 100,000 horses that could be used, and the rest were either injured or dead. Waiting for the commander to assign. Of the 600,000 pieces of equipment, we didn't capture much. A lot of them were taken away by the civilians, only less than 100,000 armor, but there were a little more, there were 150,000 swords, and there were many gaps, all of which were equipped by our people. That's all. Che replied.

"Hmm. In this case, all the snow wolves will be equipped to the second column, all the 100,000 war horses will be given to the first column, and the first column will be expanded to 100,000 people. These two people should do their best to handle everything, and the rest of you should pay attention to cooperation. When Kong Ming said this, he found that all the people were eager to try, and knew that all the people were fighting the idea of these war horses. So Kong Ming deliberately added a sentence at the end. As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was quieted down at once. You must know that cavalry can only be outstanding in combat effectiveness when it is in groups, and if you have to bring a large number of infantry behind, you will not be able to give full play to the combat effectiveness of cavalry.

"As soon as your two columns have completed their formation, they will set off within ten days. Kong Ming walked to the side of the map, and everyone followed, Kong Ming pointed to the side of Songjiang and said: "Your task is to take all the cities on the front of Songjiang on this bank of Songjiang with a width of 300 kilometers, remember that your time is not unlimited, you must take it within a month, open up our contact with the other mercenary forces in the north and Wei Qian's department, and prepare for our later battle." The rest of the armies used this time to recruit soldiers again, and it didn't take too much, that is, on the existing basis, each army could have 10,000 more soldiers, preferably to reach the standard of 100,000 people per army, and then, the fourth army stayed in Wencheng, and the remaining three armies also quickly moved north, and then two columns and three corps crossed Songjiang and prepared to destroy the Fifth Army with Wei Qian's troops. Once we achieve this goal, then we will have our backs to the Chaos Land, we can attack, we can retreat, and we will no longer have to resign ourselves to fate like this battle. I don't want to fight this again. Kong Ming sighed, there was too much luck in this battle. If it weren't for the spirit of mourning, if it weren't for the fact that most of these mercenaries in Wencheng were desperate, this battle would probably not be able to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, if there were no reinforcements, then even if the victory was won, it would be a tragic victory, useless. He was no longer willing to direct the battle into that ignorant behavior.

Hearing Kong Ming's words, everyone couldn't help but gasp, you must know that this battle is really the most dangerous and most difficult battle they have experienced under Kong Ming's hands.

"So where do we start, we must know that it is not an easy task to open up the 300-kilometer river defense. Lu Hai asked.

Everyone also looked at Kong Ming, although it was said that because everyone was focused on the battle itself, it didn't mean that everyone was ignorant of Kong Ming, but they felt that Kong Ming was a little different today, what it looked like, and they couldn't say it for a while, but when they heard Kong Ming's words, it always seemed that things were really developing as Kong Ming said, which was really a very strange experience. Kong Ming didn't expect that after becoming a soldier saint, his grasp of war was different from before, or he had a stronger tendency to win, and his words also invisibly affected other people.

"We don't have to go city by city, we just have to take a few cities in the middle and on both sides. Let them feel our strategic intentions, in other words, let them feel that we have to open a back road, lead the Fifth Army out of the city, and disperse them, only in this way can we achieve our goal of completely annihilating the Fifth Army Corps, and now we will no longer have the attack of large corps, and we will fight at this level with corps or columns as units. If necessary, we will command two or three corps to act together. In short, it is to eliminate the Fifth Army by cannibalization. Kong Ming said.

"Commander, I don't understand that once we take these cities. Our two columns were free to move, and we could even cross Matsue to look for fighters. Part by part annihilated the Fifth Army Corps. Instead of eating it whole?" Lu Hai asked on the side.

"That's right, as a commander at the military level, you must judge the time and pace, start from the reality of the battlefield, and carry out the previous orders before our command headquarters has an order. "Sora knows it. There are too many mercenary troops now, and he definitely can't command them alone, and only by cultivating more commanders can this mercenary army go further. This is also a lesson from the ages.

"To put it bluntly, we don't care if you go out to play with you, once our command needs you, you must be led by the orders of the headquarters. Got it?" said Kuming.

"Commander, do we need to cover up this?" asked Che Yi from the side. Everyone also looked at Kong Ming with concern, knowing that a military operation is not only the military operation itself, but also carries more or less things in it. In secrecy, it is possible to reduce the losses too much, otherwise, once the enemy is prepared, it will cause a large area of the army, which everyone does not want to see.

"None of us can mention this matter until the first city has been captured by the First and Second Columns, that is to say, it is known only among a few of us, and only that. Once we've taken a city or two, then we're going to have to make a big splash. Let the pressure be on the enemy's side. Only in this way can we better carry out our other purposes. ”

"Alright, Commander, in that case we'll go straight to the preparations, I think we should have a bigger goal. Teng Qinglong said on the side. Or maybe he already knew what Kong Ming was thinking. He gave Kong Ming a strange look.

After watching the rest of the people leave, Kong Ming couldn't help but look at the map of the entire war zone, now the main force of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army is south of Songjiang, surrounded by the cities of the Harvey Empire, at any time, the enemy may attack Wencheng with a surprise army, this undefended city. However, Wencheng, which is heavily armed, can suddenly attack all other cities, and it is precisely between this kind of encirclement and counter-encirclement that makes the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army have a stronger sense of crisis. Therefore, the only way to open the Songjiang defense line and connect the two theaters together is to let the mercenary army have a place where they can attack and retreat, and a vast place where they can maneuver between Harvey's major armies, which is the most important thing. Although Matsue is vast, it cannot prevent an army from crossing, but it can become a moat at any time in the event of an emergency. And once Kong Ming occupies the entire Songjiang River defense of more than 300 kilometers, then in a sense, the Fifth Army will become a lone army, and Kong Ming wants this effect. A lone army, only in the proper use of the force, it is entirely possible for Kong Ming to set up a large battlefield in the north of Songjiang and wipe out all the high-end military of the entire Harvey, only in this way will it facilitate future military operations. These empty minds are not told to others, if they are spoken, it will cause a blind way of thinking, once this kind of thinking enters the entire mercenary army at all levels, then it will not be far from failure, so he must think about this matter slowly, little by little, consider the gains and losses, advance and retreat. Kong Ming is constantly comparing the terrain between all the cities between Taicheng, Songjiang, and Wencheng, constantly recalling the terrain on the way, and now he needs to find a place, preset the battlefield, pull the Fifth Legion into it, let them get into it, or consciously drill in, jam them, and then see if they can be wiped out when the time comes. Only by consuming the enemy here will it be easier to fight in the future. There is still a lack of an opportunity, a chance to separate the Fifth Army, and in addition to letting several corps take the initiative to fight, how can we create such an opportunity? And how can such an opportunity make the enemy get into it voluntarily, and what kind of things are needed to catch this fish? (To be continued......
