The Turkic khans gathered the leaders of the various tribes and asked them to hand over a part of the cattle, sheep and horses, and make sure that the number was sufficient before the year.

Many of the chiefs complained about the Khan.

This southern expedition not only did not reap any benefits, but also suffered heavy losses.

What tribe of warriors did not die in the tens of thousands?

Now they have to hand over the cattle and sheep from the tribe.

Cattle and sheep are the lifeblood of grassland herdsmen. Without cattle and sheep, once the winter comes, the herders will be starved to death and frozen to death.

Don't give?

Of course you can, unless you don't want to live.

That Chen Kang killed people, but it was very cruel.

……

General Yang prepared to withdraw his troops.

Chen Kang said: "General, leave 100,000 elites at the border pass. ”

General Yang said: "Mr. Chen, the Tucheng at the border is just some lonely cities, even if you leave a large army, there is no way to survive. ”

Chen Kang said: "The Shenzhou army stayed here to monitor the movement of the steppe, and to protect the security of the Turks. The 100,000-strong army was paid by the Turks. Therefore, the army of border passes will not add any burden to us. ”

General Yang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Chen Kang meant. This is to lie on the Turk's body all the time to suck blood.

It's a brilliant plan.

However, there is a prerequisite for providing "protection" to the Turks, so that the Turks can provide food, grass and military spending. That is, to be strong enough.

If the strength is not enough, and dare to put forward such conditions, it will definitely be torn to pieces by the Turkic cavalry.

Chen Kang estimated the population of the Turks and the number of cattle, sheep and horses, and knew how much wealth the Turks had.

Chen Kang's approach can be said to have squeezed the Turks to an extreme and reached a critical point.

The steel knife kills people, not necessarily the most brutal.

Sometimes a soft knife is the most murderous, and it can make people never turn over.

General Yang said excitedly: "Mr. Chen, I'll arrange it." ”

General Yang quickly walked out of the military tent.

Chen Kang said secretly: "There are still too few great masters in Shenzhou. It would be nice to have a few more great grandmasters. Of course, it was better for the Grand Master not to be like Ning Daoqi. Otherwise, no matter how many great masters there are, it may not be a blessing for Shenzhou. ”

……

The army of the Great Sui drove out the Turkic army.

The Turkic Khan promised to give the Great Sui 500,000 horses and 2 million cattle and sheep.

The Great Sui wanted the garrison to "protect" the Turks, and the Turks provided 100,000 troops with food, grass and military expenses.

News kept coming back to Forte.

caused quite a stir.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, labored the people and lost money, and caused chaos in the world.

Why did Chen Kang and the general fight the Turks, not only drove the Turks back to the steppe, but also made a windfall?

But.

From time to time, some literati began to criticize Chen Kang, thinking that Chen Kang was too cruel.

Asking for benefits from the Turks and squeezing the Turks is not what a great master should do.

After all, Shenzhou is a country of etiquette, and it is necessary to emphasize benevolence and righteousness, to emphasize education, and to convince people with etiquette.

Since then, this voice has become louder and louder, and even become the mainstream sound.

Chen Kang returned to Luoyang City.

Pei Ju came to see Chen Kang.

This time, Pei Ju managed the logistics of the army and did not make any mistakes.

Pei Ju's ability, Chen Kang still recognizes it very much.

Pei Ju said: "Great Grandmaster, those literati are rotten words, they are farting. They also slandered you as the 'Evil Emperor.'" You don't care. ”

Chen Kang sneered: "How can I not care? The masterminds behind the slander of Chen are Cihang Jingzhai and Ning Daoqi, right? Controlling public opinion and smearing me is indeed a clever step. Unfortunately, they still don't understand me. ”

It doesn't matter if it's good or notorious. As long as it is famous, Chen Kang will not refuse to come.

The Evil Emperor?

Chen Kang likes this name a lot.

Because you are famous, you can collect martial arts cheats faster.

When Chen Kang and the Demon Gate get close, they are not afraid of slander.

It's just that Cihang Jingzhai is indeed very disgusting.

Pei Ju said: "The great master is wise and knowledgeable, and he can't hide anything from you. Cihang Jingzhai called Mr. Chen the most evil. Compared with Xiang Yutian back then, it is even more lawless and evil. ”

Chen Kang sneered: "What is good and what is evil, I still can't tell the difference." Cihang Jingzhai can tell the difference between those 'fairies'? It's ridiculous. Evil King, Cihang Jingzhai has existed for more than 400 years, right? ”

Pei Ju said: "It has been 419 years since Patriarch Dini founded Cihang Jingzhai. ”

Chen Kang nodded and said, "More than four hundred years, long enough." The Han Dynasty has only enjoyed 400 years of history. ”

Pei Ju's eyebrows jumped.

What does Chen Kang mean?

Is it to destroy Cihang Jingzhai?

……

A small courtyard in Luoyang City.

Kou Zhong was wearing new clothes and said happily: "Ziling, let's see if my clothes fit?" These are new clothes issued by the army. In this attack on the Turks, I have made a meritorious contribution, and I am finally an officer. ”

Xu Ziling said with a smile: "Zhong Shao, you are just a little chief, not even a tooth general, what kind of officer." Don't put gold on your face. ”

Kou Zhong glared and said, "Ziling, you wait, sooner or later, I will become a general." ”

Xu Ziling did not like life in the barracks. He has a quieter temperament and prefers unrestrained rivers and lakes.

Kou Zhong is different.

Kou Zhong likes the military camp very much, and likes the iron blood on the battlefield. This time he followed Chen Kang to the steppe to attack the Turks, and Kou Zhong learned a lot.

Xu Ziling said: "Want to be a general? Zhong Shao, when are you a congenital master, let's talk about it. ”

Kou Zhong said: "Ziling, Ling Shao. You and I can't understand "The Secret of Longevity". Why don't we give Mr. Chen the "Recipe for Longevity"? ”

Xu Ziling glanced at Kou Zhong and said, "That is one of the four great wonder books, the Secret of Longevity, which is the supreme secret method of cultivation. Are you really willing to give it to Mr. Chen? ”

Kou Zhong said, "Even if it is a supreme cultivation secret method, if you can't understand it, what use can it be? We studied with Mr. Chen, and Mr. Chen taught us everything, so what else was there to dislike? ”

Xu Ziling nodded and said, "It's good if you decide." ”

Kou Zhong said, "Didn't I consult with you? After all, "The Recipe for Eternal Life" was obtained by you and me together. ”

……

Chen Kang took the "Recipe for Longevity" and said to Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong: "You gave me the Recipe for Longevity. I can't do without an expression. Well, starting tomorrow, I will train you for an hour every day. ”

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Chen." ”

Chen Kang said: "It's me who should say thank you. "The Recipe for Longevity" can help me a lot. ”

The Recipe for Longevity is a perfect exercise that contains the mystery of shattering the void.

As long as he mastered the core skills of the elixir, Chen Kang would have the hope of shattering the void.

Chen Kang pondered his plan to train Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong.

Chen Kang has trained a young grandmaster.

Zhang Junbao and You Tanzhi are both young grandmasters.

At that time, Chen Kang was only a grandmaster.

Now Chen Kang is the Great Grandmaster.

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong's talents are extraordinary, and they have not met in a hundred years. Chen Kang didn't know if he could train them to become young grandmasters.

Chen Kang's mind was racing, and he quickly thought of the training plan for the two of them.

Chen Kang said secretly: "Two years. Strive to make Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong great masters when they are eighteen years old. ”

If other people knew about Chen Kang's plan, they would probably think that Chen Kang was crazy.

But Chen Kang thinks it's completely possible.

Chen Kang has the secret technique of inner boxing, the chapter of easy tendon forging bones, the cultivation experience of the thirteenth exercise of the dragon elephant Bo Ruogong, and the thunder sound marrow washing technique.

Chen Kang said secretly: "The first step of the plan is psychological training. ”

Mental training, in fact, is to train the mind to focus.

The more focused a person's mind is, the faster they can improve.

If you want to become a strong person quickly and learn advanced martial arts skills, you must concentrate on it.

……

Li Xiuning came to Chen Kang with a two-year-old child in her arms.

Chen Kang's face darkened suddenly: "You Li Tang will arrange a child to come over?" Is this kid weaned? ”

Li Xiuning said: "Great Grandmaster, this is my second brother's son Chengqian. He was two years old and had been weaned. ”

Chen Kang sneered: "The quota is given to you Li Tang. How you use it, that's your own business. However, I don't have time to babysit for you. I'm a great grandmaster, a nurse from time to time. ”

Li Xiuning said: "What does the great grandmaster mean is that he agrees to accept Cheng Qian?" ”

Chen Kang snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't expect Chen Kang to really accept Li Chengqian.

……

Li Tang.

Li Yuan's mansion.

"Bang."

Li Jiancheng kicked over the coffee table, pointed at Li Shimin, and said angrily: "Second brother, the quota given by Mr. Chen belongs to Li Tang, and from time to time you Li Shimin's." Why did you take it upon yourself to arrange for your son to study at Mr. Chen's side? Your son is just a two-year-old baby. ”

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and was very dissatisfied.

Let a two-year-old go to Chen Kang to study?

Wasted places.

Li Shimin said: "Dad, big brother, are Cheng Qian and I Li Tang's people?" What is the problem with the quota for Chengqian? Mr. Chen had already promised to keep Cheng Qian in Luoyang. Now that the wood is in the boat, there is no point in discussing this issue further. What's more, I sent troops to attack the Turks this time, and brought back so many horses, cattle and sheep......"

Li Jiancheng sneered: "Is it your credit for defeating the Turks?" The quota should be my son's inheritance. Second, you can calculate. I've got that in mind, so we'll see. ”

Li Jiancheng was extremely angry, and when he left, he didn't say goodbye to Li Yuan.

Li Shimin said: "Dad, look at the eldest brother, is there any rule in his eyes?" And there is no daddy you. ”

Li Yuan glared at Li Shimin and said coldly, "You are not a good thing. Second, you also get out of the way. ”

Li Shimin stood up and said respectfully: "The child retires." ”

……

Li Jiancheng returned to his mansion and saw a beautiful woman.

This woman is the concubine.

Concubine Xuan said, "Eldest Prince, this is the second time we've met, right?" ”

Li Jiancheng was still angry, and said: "I don't know what happened when the holy woman came to me?" ”

Concubine Shi smiled and said, "We have decided to support you. ”

For more than 400 years, Cihang Jingzhai has been engaged in speculation.

Those who are favored by Cihang Jingzhai will fully support them and build them into the image of "true sons".

Princes and generals, rather have a kind.

However, the people have never had the right to speak. Cihang Jingzhai can carefully create a character for the selected person.

A lie told 10,000 times is the truth. This is a in terms of technology, but in terms of humanities, it makes a lot of sense to create a persona.

Cihang Jingzhai plays this trick, and he is very experienced. routines, they are very familiar.

Originally, Cihang Jingzhai took a fancy to Li Shimin, the second son of Li Tang.

It's a pity.

Li Shimin sent his son Li Chengqian to Chen Kang.

Li Shimin and Chen Kang got too close.

Chen Kang and Pei Ju, Zhu Yuyan and others are just a cooperative relationship. But in Cihang Jingzhai's view, Chen Kang and the Demon Gate are one.

Sometimes Cihang Jingzhai even suspected that Chen Kang might be the great master cultivated by the Demon Sect.

Since Li Shimin and Chen Kang are close, Cihang Jingzhai can only give up Li Shimin and support Li Jiancheng instead.

In fact, Li Jiancheng is also very good.

Although Li Jiancheng is not as powerful as Li Shimin in military affairs, Li Jiancheng is very talented in government affairs.

Why didn't Cihang Jingzhai choose Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Dou Jiande and others? These guys are all short-sighted, and the mud can't hold up the wall. can become a strong party, they are already the limit, and they have no qualifications to win the Shenzhou.

The Lingnan Song family is good.

However, the old affair between Song Que and Fan Qinghui doomed the Song Valve family to be impossible to get together with Cihang Jingzhai.

Song Que was too defensive of Cihang Jingzhai.

What's more, Song Que also arranged his son Song Shidao to Chen Kang's side.

Li Jiancheng calmed down his emotions and said calmly: "How can the Holy Maiden support me?" ”

Concubine Xuan said: "Cihang Jingzhai only accepts female disciples. However, the Grand Master decided to recruit a wide range of disciples. Li Chengdao that kid, I looked at Ting Congming. Why didn't the eldest prince send Chengdao to the great master to learn art? ”

The great grandmaster that Concubine Xuan said was, of course, not Chen Kang, but Ning Daoqi.

The fact that Chen Kang gave the quota made Cihang Jingzhai and Ning Daoqi have a sense of crisis.

It is a very effective means to win over people with quotas.

Chen Kang first gave ten places to the Demon Gate, and then gave Li Tang and Song Valve one place each.

After that, Chen Kang recruited more than forty civilian disciples, and Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were among the representatives.

Concubine Xuan can judge from this that Chen Kang actually pays more attention to the common people. Even Chen Kang didn't have much of a good impression of the Shi clan's gate valve.

This is a great thing for Cihang Jingzhai.

After all, the foundation of Cihang Jingzhai is not in the Jianghu martial arts, but in those warrior clans.

A real first-class second-rate wealthy family, who hasn't married a few female disciples of Cihang Jingzhai?

Cihang Jingzhai weaves a huge network of interests in the form of marriage.

Li Jiancheng said: "If the great master can accept my son as a disciple, of course I am grateful. ”

Concubine Xuan said: "Eldest son, I have a little junior sister, seventeen years old, beautiful as a fairy. If you like, I'll marry her to you. ”

Li Jiancheng glanced at the concubine and said, "The people in the rivers and lakes say that the fairy is the first beauty in the rivers and lakes. Is your little sister as beautiful as you? If I want to marry you, is it possible? ”

The concubine was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The eldest prince wants to marry me?" It's not impossible. Not now, though. ”

The concubine's words were a little unkind.

Li Jiancheng heard the underlying meaning, that is, he told himself that if he wanted to marry his concubine now, he was not qualified enough, so he should not be delusional.

In the future, Li Tang will win the world, and Li Jiancheng will become the crown prince, or ascend the throne as the emperor, and he may be qualified to marry the holy daughter of Cihang Jingzhai.

Shi Feixuan, on behalf of Cihang Jingzhai and Ning Daoqi, reached a cooperation with Li Jiancheng. In the future, Cihang Jingzhai will fully support Li Tang and Li Jiancheng.

However, if Li Tang wins the world in the future, he will recognize Cihang Jingzhai's transcendent status and give Cihang Jingzhai the treatment he deserves.

That night, Concubine Shi Xuan left with Li Chengdao.
