Chapter 61: The Birth of the Xuan Army
And Xiao Che, Zi Wuji, and Tang Tang's faces were also gloomy to the extreme, which scared the little girl a lot. She knew it was inconvenient for her to read the contents of the letter, but she also knew that something was in serious trouble right now.
Just listening to the sound of "呑", Xiao Che burned the letter. Soon his face gradually returned to normal, and Zi Wuji and Murong Qing still had resentful expressions. Tang Tang was even more expressionless, but his eyes were full of killing intent.
Among the several people, Xiao Che was the strongest in terms of resourcefulness, and soon several people looked at Xiao Che, and they knew by looking at their eyes that they wanted to ask themselves if there was any good way.
It didn't take long for Xiao Che to make a decision.
"The Qingxuan Empire can't tolerate the Xuan Gang so much, let's disband the Xuan Gang. This Xuan Gang is the brainchild of our brothers, and it must not collapse like this. In this way, Wuji, you will immediately inform all the leaders of this matter, and here I will first make a statement, the Xuan Gang will never be disbanded. Saying that, Xiao Che looked at Zi Wuji and Tang Tang firmly.
"Brother Wuji, my Tang Tang almost became a wasted person, and today I was able to re-cultivate thanks to Brother Xiao, if Brother Xiao doesn't leave, I will stay, and I will announce to the outside world now that I will leave the Medicine King Valley. Tang Tang also had a resolute face.
Needless to say, Zi Wuji is now the son-in-law of the Wenren family, and presumably even if he returns to the Qingxuan Empire, he will not be reused. It was impossible for him to go back, and as for his master, there was no need to worry about it. He believed that as long as he did the right thing, his master would definitely support him with all his might.
The three leaders of Liujiazhen reached an agreement, but they didn't know what the few people who went out on the expedition thought. Xiao Che: Wait for them to come back now, and agree on where the Xuan Gang will go.
Within three days, the ten leaders of the Xuan Gang gathered in Liujia Town again, and several people who were out on the expedition came back together, without the slightest delay, and immediately began the meeting to decide the fate of the Xuan Gang.
"Brother Xiao Che, what do you think of the current situation?" Dongfang Ye took the lead.
"In my opinion, it is impossible for our Xuan Gang to disband, and we only have two ways to go now. Looking at everyone's expressions, Xiao Che knew that no one wanted the Xuan Gang to be disbanded. This made a big stone in my heart put down.
"The first way is for us to choose a few people to return to the Qingxuan Empire, so that with Lu Yanyan's help, we will definitely be able to be reused. It won't be long before he becomes a brigadier general of the Empire. In that case, it will be able to find out the intelligence within the military for the Xuan Gang, and it will also have a certain amount of real power in the military of the Qingxuan Empire. In this way, the Xuan Gang can have room to turn around on Qingxuan's side. The second solution is simple, we all resist to the end. Saying that, Xiao Che told him the two ways he could think of.
There was a brief silence. Everyone is thinking about the pros and cons of Xiao Che's two methods. In all fairness, the formation of the Xuan Gang made the brothers feel deeper for each other, and they had a strong sense of belonging to the Xuan Gang, which was a legend they created with their own hands. No one is willing to leave, let alone give up.
However, everyone also understands very well why Xiao Che proposed the first method, which is the most practical from a practical point of view. Not only can it solve the current crisis of the Xuan Gang, but it is also extremely beneficial to the future of the Xuan Gang. But the most important thing is, who wants to go back?
Now that Xiao Che's identity has been revealed, it is obvious that he can't go back, and Zi Wuji has become the son-in-law of the Wenren family, so naturally he won't go back. With Tang Tang's current situation, even if he goes back, it is impossible to be reused. Apparently it was better for him to stay than to go back.
After many discussions, it was finally decided that Xiao Che, Zi Wuji, Tang Tang, Mo Fei, and Xue Wuji would stay. Dongfang Ye and Duan Qiu, Liu Xuan, Cheng Yin, and Fu Hui went back.
The reason why Dongfang Ye chose to go back was mainly because he was the nominal leader of the Xuan Gang, and if he went back, the Xuan Gang could announce its dissolution in name, and then change his name to stay and continue to grow and develop.
And if Dongfang Ye goes back, with his ability, he will definitely be able to go further in the military of the Qingxuan Empire.
Now that the decision has been made, everyone will act according to the plan. Because Dongfang Ye chose to go back, this made Xiao Che think of a better way, and soon, Xiao Che said the way, and soon got the consent of the other nine.
The next day, the Xuan Gang announced its split, and Dongfang Ye took the four leaders to leave the Xuan Gang and return to Qingxuan. This caused an uproar in the Xuan Gang. Except for a few leaders, the rest of the gang was unclear and demoralized. In their opinion, Dongfang Ye is the big leader of the Xuan Gang. He is gone, and the Xuan Gang will inevitably split.
Sure enough, the next day, Xiao Che and the five leaders who stayed behind immediately announced the dissolution of the Xuan Gang and renamed the Xuan Gang as the Xuan Army. And declares independence, which does not belong to any one country.
It's a new starting point. The once-famous Xuan Gang became history, and was replaced by the Xuan Army, which seemed to outsiders to be a mess. In fact, this was a plan set by Xiao Che and Dongfang Ye. Let the Xuan Gang change its name, so that it seems to be divided, but in fact, the cohesion is even stronger.
According to the strategy set by Xiao Che, the current situation in the northern countries is complicated, and during this period, the Xuan army must recuperate and develop in a low-key manner. Don't get too much attention. This decision won everyone's consent. Dongfang Ye left the Xuan Army. Only these leaders know that Dongfang Ye has made sacrifices for the Xuan Gang, and outsiders don't know that no matter where Dongfang Ye is, they will always be the leaders of the Xuan Army.
Soon the day after the Xuan Gang was renamed the Xuan Army, the Xuan Army's army withdrew from Liujia Town. Their families also moved. Nominally, Liujia Town became a borderless land. However, in fact, Xiao Che asked Mo Fei to lead some people to form the Green Puppet Gang, a branch of the Xuan Army. is secretly in control of everything in Liujiazhen.
The reason for this decision is also because Mo Fei is the most low-key among the leaders, and people know little about him, although he is one of the leaders of the Xuan Army, but he led a part of the Xuan Army to change its name to the Green Puppet Gang that no one has heard of to secretly control Liujia Town, and it will not attract too much attention.
The Xuan army led by Xiao Che actually did not go far, but was still hiding in this area. Due to the large number of factions within the Xuan Army, Xiao Che asked them to break into pieces and return to the country. Not to go back and be a good citizen, but to recruit troops.
Now, due to the pressure brought by the Qingxuan Empire, the northern countries have reached a unified consensus, and there is a tendency to form a military alliance to deal with the Qingxuan Empire. However, the contradictions between the northern countries have been going on for a long time, and the alliance will not go so smoothly.
Xiao Che sent Xuanjun to investigate in many ways to decide the next move.
When the Qingxuan Empire saw that Dongfang Ye had returned to China, the Xuan Gang announced that it was disbanded and changed to the Xuan Army, and withdrew from Liujia Town, which also canceled the plan to attack. In their opinion, the current Xuan Gang is no longer to be feared, but what makes the Qingxuan royal family angry is that Xiao Che actually mixed into the army under the pseudonym Xiao Yuan, and also became the leader of the Xuan Gang by mistake. This made the Qingxuan royal family as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
Now that Xiao Che is in the Xuan Army, the Qingxuan Imperial Family's investigation has no effect, and they have also learned that Xiao Che has broken through the Venerable Realm, and in the short term, they will not take any action against Xiao Che. After all, a Venerable Realm is not so easy to kill.
The Qingxuan royal family was helpless against Xiao Che, but it didn't mean that they didn't dare to trouble the families of several other people. However, they were still one step slower, and Zi Wuji's family was naturally untouched under the protection of Huacheng and the Purple Supreme.
And Tang Tang's family is under the protection of the Medicine King Valley, and Xue Wuji's father is the lord of a city, so he is naturally safe and sound. Not to mention Mo Fei, the strength of the Green Puppet City is by no means much weaker than that of the Flower City. Even the royal family has to give the green puppet city a few thin noodles.
In this way, it seems that the royal family has no way to deal with these people, and the indiscriminate way of dealing with their families is therefore in vain.
Originally, Xiao Che, who had no background, was now even more fearful of the Qingxuan royal family, and soon in the circle of the Supreme Realm powerhouses, Qingxuan Ce announced that Xiao Che was his disciple. This made the Qingxuan royal family have a deeper resentment towards the Qingxuan family. made them even more helpless against Xiao Che.
Xiao Che didn't know that he was still in high-intensity work every day. In this way, the Xuan army, under the leadership of Xiao Che, gradually moved on the right track.
After two months of rectification, Xiao Che was finally able to take a breath. He began to practice in retreat. Zi Wuji and Wen Ren Jing are also secretly going to the Wen Ren family, who are fighting against the Great Contract. The war between Beiyan and Daqi has been going on for nearly three months, and the Wenren family has achieved brilliant results. Capture one-third of the territory of the Grand Covenant.
This made Emperor Yu both happy and jealous. Happily, the victory of the Wenren family's army is the victory of Beiyan and the victory of his emperor. What is fearful is that the army under the command of the Wenren family is extraordinary, and this time the Wenren family has not only not been weakened, but has been greatly enhanced.
The Wenren family has won so many victories, but in fact, they have not lost much, and many cities have won through stratagem. Soldiers, siege the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top. In this war, this concept of the soldier family was vividly exerted by the Wenren family. In many cases, wherever the army went, the Taka surrendered to Kaesong.
In the war, the Wenren family was even more frequent. This allows them to always get the most wins at the minimum cost. Many warriors in Beiyan heard that the Ren family had won a great victory, and they were even more crazy to join the army. In this way, Emperor Yu has no reason to stop him.
After all, the slogan of the Wenren family is to fight for Beiyan, which makes Emperor Yu feel like he is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot. He regretted it a little now, if only he hadn't sent the Wenren family to the expedition in the first place. But it's too late to say anything.
Just when the Wenren family was planning a bigger battle, Emperor Yu issued twenty edicts in a row, urging the Wenren family to withdraw from the Great Covenant battlefield. Another military general is selected to attack the Great Contract.
This made the people of the Wenren family cry and laugh. In fact, Emperor Yu didn't know that the reason why the Wenren family was able to achieve such a victory was entirely because of some unknown "reasons".
The general who replaced the Wenren family's army was named Koto. He is the descendant of Emperor Yu, originally only the chief of the guard of the Yuwang Mansion, because of his meritorious service in assisting Emperor Yu to ascend the throne, he was promoted to the commander of the forbidden army, and now he is the general of the Eastern Expedition, with a million.
He has always been arrogant and arrogant, but his martial arts realm is very high, and he is the best among the martial artists in the Respect for Masters realm. This makes him not take anyone seriously. However, his command and combat ability is far inferior to his cultivation.
However, he also has the advantage, that is, he is loyal to Emperor Yu. This made Emperor Yudi trust him very much. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that he, the captain of the royal palace guard with no family background, can become a high-profile general today, all thanks to the cultivation of Emperor Yu. He himself is very aware of this, so he is even more loyal to Emperor Yu.
He knew that the Wenren family was a big trouble for Emperor Yu, and this time Emperor Yu sent him to accept the Great Deed War, which was also to attack the momentum of the Wenren family. And he also knew that his ability to lead troops was far inferior to the Wenren family, and the people of the Wenren family also looked down on him in their hearts, which made him jealous and hateful of the Wenren family.
This time he finally had the opportunity to humiliate the Wenren family, and he naturally wouldn't let it go easily. He led the army day and night, and soon arrived at the Wenren family's residence in the Great Contract.
When he saw the people of the Wenren family, he was naturally sneering, which made many people resentful of him. In the army of the Wenren family, there are many heroes from Beiyan, who have volunteered to join the army to support the Wenren family. When they saw Kuo Tuo behave like this, they naturally hated him.
Kutuo also knew this, but he didn't care about it, these Jianghu rangers were nothing compared to his army. The talents of the Wenren family will not be like him, and soon the two armies will change their defenses, and the Wenren family will lead the army to withdraw from the battlefield. At this point, the Northern Yan generals who attacked Daqi were replaced by Kutuo.
With the withdrawal of the Wenren family, the rangers from Beiyan who spontaneously supported the army also dispersed. This made Kuotuo's heart cold. He won't be so easy to calculate today's affairs, these Jianghu people dare to treat him like this, which makes him extremely angry, at this moment he has a plan in his heart, when the war is over and he returns triumphantly, he will definitely lead a large army to sweep away the forces of the Northern Yan Jianghu.
He didn't know, this was an extremely dangerous idea, since there were human races, there were rivers and lakes, and for so many years, no matter what situation the forces of the human race ruled the world, the power of the rivers and lakes has always existed. Everything that exists in the world has its own reason, and it cannot be destroyed so casually. An empire as powerful as Qingxuan acquiesced in the existence of the forces of the rivers and lakes, because the royal family of the Qingxuan Empire knew very well that the rivers and lakes would always exist, and if they were to raise troops to attack and eventually destroy them all, then the Qingxuan Empire at that time would not be far from the death of the country.
He only wanted to do what he wanted, and he only knew that these people were not bound by the law, but they looked down on him, and he could not bear this second point in any way. So he had to make a difference. This shows the stupidity of Kuoto.
However, at this time, Kutuo was at the peak of his life, and he couldn't see the current crisis at all.
He didn't know that the reason why the Wenren family was able to achieve such a brilliant victory was not only because of the Wenren family's super ability to lead troops, but also because of the help of the Xuan Gang.
The Grand Deed Hall is one of the seven important halls of the Xuan Gang. All made up of the Grand Covenanters. Their goal was to overthrow the current king of the Grand Treaty. The Xuan Gang and the Wenren family have a close relationship, so they can naturally get the full help of the Great Deed Hall. With these, the Wenren family can know themselves and their opponents on the battlefield and win all battles. Now the Xuan Gang has been changed to the Xuan Army, and the Great Covenant Hall has also been changed to the Great Covenant Xuan Army.
Without their help, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream that Kuotuo wants to achieve the results of the Wenren family. At present, the first goal of the Xuan Army is to overthrow Emperor Yu of Northern Yan and let Murong Ming ascend to the throne of Northern Yan, which has never changed. As long as Murong Ming sits on the throne, it is not difficult for the whole country to go out to unite with the Xuan Army to solve the Great Contract.
Kutuo is a close confidant of Emperor Yu, and his army can be said to be the most important descendant of Emperor Yu in addition to the forbidden army. If it is completely eliminated, it will be the biggest blow to Emperor Yu. It can even fundamentally shake the throne of Emperor Yu.
So the Xuan army quickly changed its strategy and helped the Great Covenant to eliminate the Kuotuo army.
This is easier said than done. Although Kuduqi's ability to lead the army in battle is not very good, it is also relative to a military family like the Wenren family, in fact, his ability to lead the army is still good. In particular, it is very strict in administering the army.
In addition, his own martial arts cultivation is strong, and every time the army attacks, he takes the lead and leads the army to attack. This also gave him the title of the most fierce general.
After the Wenren family withdrew, Kuo Tuo was also proud for a while, but soon he couldn't get complacent. According to the strategy of the Wenren family, the army can occupy half of the territory of the Great Deed, and as soon as Kutuo came, he changed the battle plan of the Wenren family, and he redrafted a new one himself.
Soon the army proceeded according to his battle plan, and his plan seemed to be fine, but it was only in theory, and in practice it was not at all like that. When he first arrived, he made such a rash decision without even thoroughly grasping the situation on the battlefield, so that he was defeated in the first battle and it was a crushing defeat.
According to his battle plan, he first sent two armies of 50,000 men each to make a detour through the Qimeng Mountains to complete a major encirclement of the city in the east, and he personally led the main force to attack from the front. From the map, this is a good plan, and it couldn't be better. However, this is not the case.
First of all, the army on the left road encountered a torrential rain not long after its departure, fell into a swamp, consumed a lot of physical strength, lost some men and horses, and then waited for the rain to stop but went the wrong way, and then ran into the Great Keather Army head-on, and the result was that the Dakchi Army waited for work at ease, and completely wiped out the 50,000 people at the right time and place.
Then the right army did not get much better, although it did not encounter heavy rain and did not go the wrong way. However, it fell into the ambush circle that the Daqi had already set up, and after a fierce battle, the right army was almost completely wiped out.
In this way, Kuo gave away 100,000 troops in vain at the beginning. Although the 100,000-strong army brought here was nothing to the million-strong army, it was defeated in the first battle, and the defeat was so miserable, which made the officers and men in the army extremely dissatisfied, and the soldiers were also demoralized.
Even warriors are not willing to make senseless sacrifices. And this defeat was all caused by self-righteousness. Although this defeat made him a little annoyed by Kuto, it did not make him really summarize the reasons for the defeat from himself, which also made him fall deeper and deeper in the Great Contract, and finally recovered.
