For being regarded as a savior.

There was even a county guard who thought he was Bole, and decided to petition the imperial court for himself to be crowned an official, and he was about to be worshiped as a general of Fenwu, in charge of the county government and county soldiers, and was responsible for the news of the counterinsurgency army, Lu Yuan did not know.

At this moment, he was feeling extremely distressed that he had won an inexplicable victory.

Yes, this victory is so inexplicable.

Just five days ago, Lu Yuan saw that the army under his command had been practicing for a month, and he was a little familiar with the military formation, and he had a little appearance.

So he planned to pull them out and train them in the army.

In fact, it was said that it was a march, but it didn't go far, that is, it started from Fucheng, walked along the official road for twenty miles, and then camped in a local wilderness, and returned to Fucheng the next day.

The whole process was very simple, and he didn't even leave the confines of the city, let alone go out to quell the rebellion.

However, it was such a simple march and training, and the result went wrong.

Here's the thing.

Isn't Shaoyang Mansion a mountainous area?

The local area here is mountainous, and there is a continuous mountain range five miles away from the city.

Therefore, when Lu Yuan led his troops to take the official road, there were actually many routes, which would pass through the foot of the mountains.

The march has to walk through the mountain area, no matter how ignorant the soldiers, Lu Yuan also knows this kind of area, which is the easiest to be ambushed.

So early, he arranged scouts and went into the mountains to check the situation.

Then this check, the problem was found.

As we all know, our army commanders like to recruit hunters and mountain people the most. And the scouts of the first army are naturally also served by the most elite soldiers.

Therefore, these scouts are often the best hunters.

Send them into the mountains to spy on them, and the effect will be great.

Not long after entering the mountains, these scouts were in the mountains and found traces of many people's activities. Digging inside, I found some Miao scouts. Then, without accident, the two sides handed each other.

Then, the news that a group of Miao troops were marching in the mountains and forests quickly spread back to the army.

The next result is very simple.

After discovering that there was a Miao army, trying to cover its march through the mountains, preparing to raid the city of Shaoyang.

Lu Yuan, as the commander of the capital of the city, naturally could not sit idly by.

So before those Miao people could react, he led the army deep into the mountains and directly caught the Miao people who were marching by surprise.

The soldiers under Lu Yuan are basically from mountain people, and when it comes to being familiar with the mountains, they are not under those Miao people at all.

This time, it is prepared again for the unprepared, and there are more people and fewer people.

With such a first-class master as him taking the lead in the battle, needless to say, this group of Miao pioneers, who numbered about more than 1,000 people, were directly defeated.

Then interrogated the prisoners, and learned that there was a larger Miao army approaching behind, and it had already set its sights on Shaoyang Fucheng.

After knowing that he could no longer dodge, Lu Yuan had no choice but to continue to lead the army.

The next thing is almost the same as the report sent by Cui Changqing.

Two battles and two victories, beheaded 8,000, and captured more than 10,000.

It's just that there is a slight gap in the details is that the Miao people who were beheaded here are basically all the adult men of the other party. And those captives who were captured were only the families of these Miao people.

Yes.

Lu Yuan still played his previous good habits in Wugang County.

For these Miao people who dared to rebel, a strategy of eliminating Ding was adopted. And it was done more thoroughly, killing eight thousand at once.

In this battle alone, the Miao people of the entire Shaoyang Mansion can basically be said to have been abolished.

Because the population of Miao people in the entire province does not exceed 100,000. And counting the more than 2,000 Miao people killed in Wugang County last time, Lu Yuan alone killed tens of thousands.

At present, they are even dividing their troops everywhere and constantly attacking those Miao villages.

Predictably, there will be more killings to come.

After such a killing, it is estimated that there are no men left among the Miao people in the mansion except for the old and weak women and children.

"That's it, it's simple, but I guess I'm going to become more hateful in the hearts of those Miao people."

Standing in front of a Miao village on horseback, watching the soldiers in front of him break through the gate of the village, and then listening to the screams and exclamations coming from inside, Lu Yuan's expression was a little cold.

He doesn't care much about the grudges of the Miao people.

In the troubled times, since these people have chosen to rebel, they naturally need to know what the consequences will be after the rebellion fails.

As for the killing.

In the entire Dongting County, after the Miao people broke through the villages, towns and cities of the Yue people, they killed many more people than him, and even the massacre of the city occurred more than once.

The two sides have long been a blood feud, and no one is clean, so don't come to the eldest brother to laugh at the second brother.

"But these ordinary Miao people don't care, but on the side of the Five Poisons Sect, I'm afraid that I, the Miao butcher, will hold a grudge even more, right?"

As soon as Lu Yuan thought of the Five Poisons Sect, people were a little worried.

These days, he has been watching the wind, waiting for his own opportunity.

But the longer you wait, the colder your heart becomes.

Because in just one month, the momentum of the Five Poisons Sect is really huge.

According to bits and pieces of information, there were more than 80 counties in Dongting where rebellions broke out, and the number of Miao people who participated in the rebellion approached 200,000.

More than half of the county seat was captured, and two of the prefectures were lost, and even four were besieged, which also looked like they were about to be attacked at any time.

Although during this period, although there was no news of the first-class masters of the Five Poison Sect and the innate grandmasters. But the dozens of second-rate masters in their sect are frequently active on the battlefield.

They were often regarded as spearheads, joining forces inside and outside the city, or simply taking the lead in the siege, using strong force to clear the defenders in an area in a very short time, so that the Miao rebels could quickly break through the city.

The Miao rebellion was able to achieve such results so quickly, and these martial arts masters of the Five Poisons Sect contributed a lot.

"But the Miao people are so loud, and the county government has not moved. Not to mention that the counterinsurgency army did not come, even those martial arts masters in the county government were not sent to help the local state capital.

and that Wu'an Hou Bai Mengyang.

Originally, I expected that after he came to Dongting County, he would be able to suppress Miao Qi a little.

But who knew that when this person arrived in this county, he didn't stop and rushed directly to Wushan Mansion. ”

Lu Yuan thought of Bai Mengyang, who he was still looking forward to, and he was a little angry at this time: "Although I also know that compared to the Shu Kingdom, where the Miao people have already called the state system, the threat is obviously greater.

But even if you go to defend against the Shu thieves, you can't just ignore Dongting County.

You let the Five Poisons Sect act recklessly like this, don't you know what the consequences will be? ”

He was really angry.

Without Bai Mengyang suppressing the Five Poisons Sect, even if the innate sect master of the Five Poisons Sect is now unable to make a move for the time being because of his injury.

But after the innate grandmaster recovered from his injuries, he looked at it, oh roar, the entire Dongting County was in a good situation, but you, Shaoyang Mansion, won a big victory and dealt a blow to the Miao rebels.

If you were an innate grandmaster, what would you do?

It is precisely because of this that after the big victory, Lu Yuan still didn't feel very happy.

Because a future crisis has hung over him.

"With my current strength, I can't stop an innate grandmaster. So if you want to survive, you have to improve my strength as much as possible. Now in order to save his life, Lu Yuan has also begun to work hard.

Now, through slaughter, it is one thing to cut off these Miao people who are vassals of the Five Poisons Sect and weaken the war potential of the Five Poisons Sect.

At the same time, by exterminating the Miao people, collecting money, and then asking the government to allocate funds, we are preparing to form a larger army, which is another aspect.

Even in addition to the above, Lu Yuan now arranges several residences every night when he sleeps, and each residence arranges a stand-in to cover people's eyes.

And he himself is hidden in the shadows, and does not appear in any of the abodes on the surface. No one in the barracks knew where he would be at night, hiding himself as best he could.

In this way, even if someone tried to assassinate him, there was no way to find a target.

It is only during the day, when thousands of troops are gathered around, that they dare to show up openly.

But even so, Lu Yuan still didn't feel at ease enough.

Even if it was not safe in the army, he was ready to simply find a wilderness and hide in a nest in the mountains.

However, judging from the current situation, it should not be so far.

"The Innate Grandmaster can already defeat ten thousand troops with one person, and now I only have five thousand in my hands, and after these days of war, there are only more than three thousand soldiers left.

The number of people is far from 10,000.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is best to recruit an army of 10,000 people as quickly as possible and live in the barracks. ”

Thinking of his sense of security, Lu Yuan was suddenly full of urgency.

Then he looked at the Miao village in front of him that had not finished killing, frowned, and arranged for a team of people to go in and join the battlefield.

Now with the imperial court's "local self-recruited militia anti-thief edict", the restrictions that originally hindered his expansion of the army are no longer there.

But instead, the obstacle that restricts Lu Yuan's recruitment of troops and horses is the problem of money and food.

The imperial court has been very poor all these years, he knows it.

So even in the report that Cui Changqing handed over, he mentioned asking the county government to support money and food, but Lu Yuan didn't have much hope.

As far as the current situation of the county government is concerned, even if it is supported, it would be good to be able to give 18,000 taels.

But this amount of money is a drop in the bucket for tens of thousands of troops, and even one month's salary is not enough to pay.

"So at the end of the day, you have to be self-reliant. The court can't count on it, and now if it wants to make money, it can only think of a way from these rebels. ”

Lu Yuan looked at the village that was gradually subsiding in the distance, his eyes were cold.

Although these Miao people are a little poor, they also have a population of nearly 100,000. They were scavenged one by one, and I didn't dare to say that I could still get three or five hundred thousand taels of silver.

So much money is enough for him to pull up an army of 10,000 people and support half a year's salary.

Half an hour later.

Leaving behind the Miao women and children who were crying and wailing, driving the big carts and small cars, Lu Yuan led the army and returned to Fucheng.

This time, the broken stockade was larger, and the harvest was a little more than before, with more than 10,000 taels of silver.

Even if most of them had to be turned in, many of the soldiers still gained a lot. On the way back, everyone was beaming.

In troubled times, pain and happiness are so direct and cruel.

……

Just when Lu Yuan, the master, was distressed and worried about his sense of security, and was actively making preparations.

On the other side, thousands of miles away in Xichuan County, his good apprentice Zhou Qing is also participating in a very risky event.

Mount Qingcheng.

This is a famous mountain in Xichuan and a Taoist immortal mountain. Throughout the ages, how many people who seek immortals and refine qi have been attracted to live in seclusion here, making this place a holy place for cultivating immortals.

However, it is such a place of immortal peace, with the arrival of troubled times, it is completely no longer quiet.

With the uprising of the Qiang people, all parts of Xichuan were repeatedly fired.

Those Qiang people are barbaric and easy to kill, and everywhere they pass, the Yue people are all ruined and slaughtered.

In just three years, Xichuan County, which was originally extremely prosperous and had a million household registrations, has become mostly empty, with bones all over the field and empty towns.

And not even just those ordinary people.

Even those martial arts sects that used to come and go high and high encountered great disasters in this military disaster.

Li Xiong, the emperor of Xishu, was able to break through the innate from the original first-class realm in just three years, and the contributions of various factions were indispensable.

Xichuan County originally claimed to have three surnames, seven doors and eighty-one gangs.

Among them, the three surnames are about three first-class families that have been inherited for thousands of years, and the seven families are seven first-class schools. These ten first-class forces occupied the ten prefectures of Xichuan respectively and became a powerful force entrenched in one prefecture.

As for the eighty-one gang, they are just vassals attached to these ten first-class forces.

However, it was so prosperous, and the Xichuan martial arts, which were known as 100,000 heroes at their peak, were all wiped out under this rebellion.

Under the raiding and looting of these Qiang soldiers, among the three surnames, the Guo and Meng families were destroyed, and the remaining Su family in Linjiang Mansion was saved because of the surrender of the knee. Of the seven first-class sects, three were wiped out, two fled to other counties, one was a thief, and one was scattered all over the place, hiding and searching.

The backers of the head are so miserable, not to mention the vassal gangs below.

Either they were destroyed, surrendered, or simply scattered.

The once prosperous Xichuan martial arts has become empty in the blink of an eye.

However, this situation is not acceptable to everyone, and not everyone is willing to join the thief.

Now, today.

On the ruins of the Qingcheng faction, which once dominated a mansion, many of the remaining martial arts heroes in Xichuan gathered in these ruins at this time, and thousands of people gathered together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the Qiang Rebellion in the twenty-eighth year of Longqing, I, Xichuan, have suffered many times.

Those Qiang people killed my family, slaughtered my relatives and friends, destroyed my homeland, and destroyed my inheritance.

Which of you here today has no relatives and friends and died at the hands of those Qiang people?

We are bloody men and women, and we have a deep hatred for this, how can we not report it? ”

In the middle of the ruins, on a newly erected high platform, I saw a majestic man in a yellow robe, and said with tears in his eyes at this time: "My Danxin Villa has always had no quarrel with the world, and I have never participated in the disturbances of the martial arts, but only devoted myself to cultivation.

But when those Qiang people came to Anyue Mansion, they began to burn and loot, first killing the relatives and friends of the people in my villa, and then coveting the inheritance of the exercises in my villa, forcing them to ask for it.

If they don't comply, they will be slaughtered directly.

However, in one day, most of the thousands of people in my village were killed and injured, and the rest also fled everywhere, panicking all day long.

My generation of martial artists, righteousness comes first, and blood is the bone. How can you go on with such a day of hiding XZ and being like a rat in the gutter? ”

This yellow-robed man is Lu Feng, the owner of Danxin Villa, and his words have exhausted the experiences of everyone present over the years, and many people recalled the past and couldn't help but cry.

Some people even remembered that moment of hatred, and they all tensed their bodies, gritted their teeth, and their faces were distorted.

Seeing that the atmosphere was set to this point, Lu Feng waved his hand, and the sound of internal force was spread to every corner.

"Now the Qiang thief puppet emperor Li Xiong, and the Five Poisons Demon Sect assassinated Wuyang Marquis Li Rail, although God does not bless me with the right path, so that these two thieves succeed.

But before the Marquis of Wuyang died, he also severely injured the puppet emperor Li Xiong and the thief king Li Shou, and even killed the two thieves Ximen Liang and Ma Zhan, who he relied on as his arms.

Now Li Xiong and Li Shou brothers are seriously injured and unable to shoot. Among the pseudo-Shu, the only first-class masters who can still make a move are the two traitors of the Su Clan and the Blood Dragon Sect.

And these two thieves, at this time, did not know how to stop, hid and licked their wounds secretly. He even dared to send troops to the east and wanted to attack Dongting County.

Now the Shu thieves have poured out of the nest and sent 100,000 troops to the east, and the country is empty. It is a good time for us to take revenge and destroy the Shu thieves. ”

Lu Feng looked at the people who were getting excited, and continued: "The Marquis of Wu'an of the Imperial Court has contacted us, and he has led a large army to Wushan Mansion to prepare to attack the Shu thieves.

I hope that we can cause trouble in the hinterland of the Shu thieves and respond to the imperial army.

When the Shu thieves heard of the turmoil in the hinterland, the way back had been lost, and the army would definitely be in turmoil.

At that time, we will fight with the inside and outside of the court, and the Shu thieves will be wiped out.

This is a golden opportunity for revenge.

I Danxin Villa decided to respond to the imperial court, return to Anyue Mansion to mobilize the old department, and raise troops to kill thieves.

Today's convening of this conference is to invite the heroes, make a covenant, build the Xichuan Wu Alliance, and participate in the grand event together!

Would you like to help me? ”

When the words fell, some people who had already communicated and reached a consensus next to them immediately stood up.

"I, Bai Taomen, am willing to join this alliance and punish the Shu thieves together!"

"I, the Flying Snake Sect, would like to join this alliance and kill the Qiang thieves together!"

"I, Tongchuan Meng, am willing to join this alliance and crusade against the Qiang thieves."

"I, Sumeru Temple, would also like to turn into angry King Kong and get rid of this demon in the world."

“……”

In the crowd below, those ten major family sects that had a deep blood feud with Xishu all stood up to respond at this time.

And in a voice of harmony, together: "I, the Guo clan in Yuzhong, am willing to join this alliance and kill the Li thief." The voice refused to fight and shouted out.

I saw that a few months had passed, and Guo Yunshan, who was still in Tianmen Mansion and was embarrassed to avoid the pursuit of Shu thieves, had changed greatly at this time.

couldn't help but change into more gorgeous and majestic clothes, and the aura on his body became more profound, approaching the second-rate peak of the rivers and lakes. Behind him were several warriors wearing the same uniform, all of whom looked so dazzling among the participants.

And beside him, a man in green clothes, who was also extraordinary, stood quietly beside him.

This person is Zhou Qing.

Now, this disciple of Lu Yuan, with all his breath, has reached the second rate.
