Chapter 4 Why I Came
Yinyu City, one of the top ten middle cities of Qingsong, is located on the southern border of Qingsong, and is known as the two pillars of southern Xinjiang together with the southwest border city of Shuxicheng.
There are 200,000 good people in the city, more than 30,000 soldiers, and seven small cities around it, which surround the city like stars and moons.
At the beginning of the construction of this city, there were two purposes, one was to prevent the penetration of black clouds in the southeastern country, and the other was to isolate the invasion of the Southern Mang Demon Clan.
This city and the southeast main city Nanling City, the southwest main city Shuxi City and called the southeast barrier of Qingsong Kingdom.
From this point of view, the prominence of yin is enough to affect the prosperity of the Qingsong country.
Today, on the top of a high attic in the city, more than a dozen people gathered one after another, and after their arrival, they either whispered in groups or in pairs, and the humming continued.
Suddenly, a heavy squeak sounded on the stairs, and there was silence in the building for a moment.
Then, a bloated Humpty Dumpty stepped onto the top floor.
The short and fat body is bloated, the face is full of meat, and at a cursory glance, his body is about 300 catties.
On the left side of his cheek, a hideous scar about half a foot long was revealed, which extended to the bottom of the fat man's neck.
With such a terrifying appearance, the fat man himself didn't care about it, but his subordinates were frightened and didn't dare to look at it directly.
They knew that the scar was the one who rescued them.
For so many years, although the fat man has cultivated the Dao and taken pills, the scar on his body has never been removed.
The benefactor had persuaded him to melt away, but the fat man grinned, the grace of recreation has not been repaid, how dare he easily dissolve it?
In this way, the entire Yin Xuan Army knew that although this murderous Humpty Dumpty was ruthless, he was not ungrateful.
Today, he changed the appearance of the lupine scarf in the past, changed into a jet-black robe, and dragged the floor.
Nearly fifty pounds of sword blades in his hands bent and trembled, like a load, smashing on the sandalwood floor of the pavilion, thumping.
As soon as the short and fat figure appeared, everyone was immediately solemn, bowed awe-inspiringly, and shouted respectfully: "General!"
The person is none other than Zhu Can, the lord of Yin Xuan City!
Zhu Can was born outside of Tianshu in his early years, and he was originally engaged in a business that did not lose money, but as the so-called often walked by the river, how could he not wet his shoes.
After Zhu Can, who made a fortune by looting, tasted the sweetness, he was out of control, and he actually hit the idea on the royal relatives and nobles of Qingsong Kingdom.
This time he directly stabbed the hornet's nest, and actually attracted the expedition of Xiahou Ling, the general sitting on the border, and directly wiped out his weak hundreds of people.
In desperation, he simply took the few remaining brothers to descend Xiahou Ling together.
I don't know if it was like the wind and clouds turned into a dragon or the heavens were blind, so that the bandit leader who used to occupy the mountain took a few shit lucks.
In less than two years, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant with real power on the border because of his merits.
After that, he went all the way up and climbed to the rank of more than 100 border city lords who guarded Qingsong!
Ten years ago, before the death of Xiahou Ling, the former city lord of Yinyu City, Zhu Can jumped from a young captain to become a feudal official who held the top ten main cities of Qingsong.
And when he completely controlled the 30,000 Yin Xuan army, Songjing's appointment edict arrived in due time.
From that day on, Captain Zhu Can was called Zhennan General Zhu Can!
Today, the Yin Xuan people will gather in Fengming Tower, which is ordered by Zhu Can.
Zhu Can's small eyes swept over everyone and remained silent.
Without hearing the order to get up, the generals naturally did not dare to get up.
Zhu Can's bloated figure slowly moved forward, bearing the huge creaking of the wooden plank, almost about to break.
As Zhu Can approached, the generals bowed slightly and immediately dispersed, revealing the middle passage.
After Zhu Can walked to the window railing, he didn't look back and said, "Let's all get up."
Everyone greeted in unison and stood upright.
Zhu Can narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Let's talk about the situation on the border between the two sides."
His gaze flickered and fell on a majestic man in his thirties.
His name is Kou Li, and he is the elite commander of the two thousand scouts of the Yin Xuan Army!
Kou Li seemed to have a draft, and said in a deep voice: "Half a month ago, the imperial court edict was issued, and after Prime Minister Cui Yongdai took charge of the government, five of my top ten mid-city cities in Qingsong raised the banner of 'Qingjun side', and the rest are still waiting. ”
Glancing at the gray-clothed emaciated figure on the far right, after a pause, he said: "Three days ago, Songjing City secretly sent a requisition order, ordering me to go to Yin Yu City to suppress the rebellion, and the envoy was secretly imprisoned by me. ”
When these words fell, there was a stir in the temple.
Kou Li continued: "In addition, I raised the name of 'Qingjun Side' in response to the will of the military division, but I have not pulled out of the camp. ”
As for the situation in the DPRK and China, Yang Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Yao Cuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Cha Yue, the servant of the Criminal Department, and Jian Jing, the servant of the Ministry of Works, were all deposed. ”
After Kou Li glanced at Zhu Can, he said: "Now that the government and the opposition in Songjing are all controlled by the prime minister, and the five major cities are waiting to be guarded, the situation is extremely unfavorable to the lord of the country. ”
Zhu Can suddenly waved his hand, "The old fox in the imperial court, let's not provoke it for the time being, there are other big things to plan." ”
He turned to look at the emaciated figure, and his tone slowed, "What does the military advisor think?"
The building was quiet for a moment, and the people who could climb to such a high position were naturally not fools, but now that the heavy troops were in hand, the power was in hand, and the chaos was about to start, it was difficult for them to do something if they didn't want to.
Everyone's eyes were scorching and shining, and they all looked at the emaciated figure.
The emaciated figure was dressed in perennial gray clothes, holding the scriptures in his hand and reading them attentively, bowing his head and saying nothing.
His name is Xiao Wen, and he used to be the secretary of Xiahou Ling, the former city lord of Yin Yu City, and he can barely be regarded as a staff member in the army.
But that was twenty years ago, and in the past twenty years, when many of the staff of the Yin Xuan Army were old and dead, he, the secretary in charge, naturally became the chief staff of the Yin Xuan Army.
And Zhu Can's ability to completely control the Yin Xuan Army in just ten months is indispensable.
After hearing Zhu Can's words and asking, Xiao Wen slowly raised his head, stood behind the scroll in his hand, and said slowly: "The odds of winning are less than thirty percent."
Everyone's faces changed slightly, as if they were puzzled.
After Zhu Can was silent for a while, he said slowly: "What if I support the eldest prince?"
The pavilion general's expression changed, either frowning, contemplative, or hesitating.
It is naturally appropriate to support the eldest prince Yang Xi, but people already have their own cronies, and they may not reap the benefits if they rashly take refuge, and they will be used as cannon fodder.
Many people have quietly set their eyes on Xiao Wen, and the meaning is naturally self-evident.
Xiao Wen shook his head with a smile, "The general knows that although he values the power of the general, he will not regard the general as a confidant. ”
Zhu Can's eyebrows moved, and he nodded lightly in a deep groan.
He was drawn by Xiahou Ling, and when Xiahou Ling was fighting openly and secretly between the two parties over the years, he showed an ambiguous attitude and wavered flags.
Although this move can ensure temporary stability, it will inevitably offend both parties in the long run.
Zhu Can is naturally not the indecisive character of Xiahou Ling, although he respects Xiahou Ling, he follows his legacy.
Even a group of old generals were replaced by him one after another, and these are his cronies and descendants in the pavilion in front of him!
Zhu Can's fat face was condensed, and after squinting, he said slowly: "Instead of relying on others to give alms, it is better to take charge of the Quartet." ”
"Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished!"
He looked down with his head held high, his eyes full of sneers, "Such a gluttonous feast, how can I be without Zhu Can?"
Immediately, he waved his hand, "Send the order down, prepare ten military rations, and the army will rush to the northeast!"
The crowd was solemn when they heard this, and the heavy armor clanged.
Zhu Cansen's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and he slowly spit out a few names.
With Zhu Can's order, people stepped forward one after another.
After three breaths, five people were summoned.
They are Tang Li of the Devil May Cry Battalion, Hu Peel of the Benlei Battalion, Gu He, the deputy commander of the Shocking God Battalion, Jin Ji, the commander of the Black Eagle Battalion, and He Huaisu of the Iron Armor Battalion!
The five captains personally led the five armies and jointly attacked the northeast!
Among the five, Gu He, the deputy commander of the Shocking God Battalion, was the oldest, almost sixty years old, and all of them were in their forties, and even Captain Tang Li of the Devil May Cry Army seemed to be in his early twenties.
The national law of Qingsong State stipulates that no more than 1,000 soldiers are under the jurisdiction of a school captain.
However, this express law is like a fictitious one, among the ten main cities, all captains must be in charge of more than 2,000, and those below 2,000 are embarrassed to call themselves captains.
Even in the three major cities of Qingsong Kingdom, it is the most powerful
The important captain has more than 5,000 soldiers!
This time, the five lieutenants of Yin Xuan City were each in charge of 2,000 troops, and only Gu He, the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion, was in charge of 3,000 troops!
The Divine Machine Battalion has 5,000 soldiers and horses, a palm spirit array, a magic rune and a sword formation, and its 'Divine Spirit Legion', which is purely based on Qi refining monks and has a foundation building monk as the leader, is one of the few hole cards in Zhu Can's hand.
Because of its speciality, this battalion has always been led by Zhu Can, but many military affairs are still in charge of Gu He.
After Zhu Can looked around, his eyes fell on Gu He, and he said slowly: "This time, there is still Gu He in charge of the five battalions, and the other four battalions are all under his disposal!"
As soon as the words fell, he took off the saber at his waist and threw it to Gu He, "Hold Zhu's saber, but if you violate the order, you can be killed on the spot!"
Gu He calmly took the sword, and said with his head bowed: "General rest assured!"
Zhu Can nodded, his eyes were solemn, and then he said sharply: "You only have five days, and you will immediately go west after capturing Dongjing City!"
"Ben will be waiting for you outside Upper Los Angeles!"
The generals roared and went downstairs!
After breathing, the entire Yin Xuan City erupted in a roaring voice.
Above the pavilion, Zhu Can's eyes were cold, and his eyes were disillusioned looking at the west.
Xiao Wen on the side whispered: "Now that the one in Shuxi City is pulling out the camp to the north, why doesn't the general take advantage of the situation to break through Guantian?"
Zhu Can tilted his head, "Then Zhu will really become a rebel and thief."
Xiao Wen was stunned, frowned and asked, "Where did the general say this?"
Zhu Can sighed lightly, looked into the distance, and said slowly: "Old Xiao, you and I have been friends for ten years, right?"
Xiao Wen bowed his head, stroked his beard and smiled, and replied, "Yes, exactly ten years." ”
Zhu Can's eyes were deep, and he said quietly: "You and I have known each other for more than ten years, but Zhu still doesn't know where Mr. came from, why, and when he will leave." ”
Then Zhu Can turned his head to look at Xiao Wen, his eyes burning, "I know that Mr. has a big plan, but can Mr. tell Zhu Can what exactly does he need me to do?"
As Zhu Can's words fell, the momentum on his body changed violently, and the killing iron blood Huo Ran retracted, and was replaced by a reckless mana fluctuation.
Judging by its majesty, it is among the later stages of Jindan!
Come to think of it, if there is no cultivation in the upper realm, how can the secular position of the town general be able to subdue many foundation building monks?
In this way, Gu He, the deputy commander of the Amazing God Battalion, is no longer so simple, I am afraid that it is also Jindan Shangjing.
Xiao Wen's eyes gradually showed appreciation, and then he said slowly: "The general doesn't need to ask again, he will know later." ”
After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly towards Zhu Can, and slowly withdrew.
After the person disappeared completely, a dark shadow quietly approached.
Zhu Can stood with his hands in his hands and said expressionlessly: "Have you ever seen its strength?"
After a moment of silence, the black shadow whispered, "Unfathomable."
Zhu Can bowed his head slightly, today he suddenly spread his cultivation away, Xiao Wen was not affected at all, thinking that his strength was definitely not under him.
He squinted slightly, pondered for a moment, and then retracted his thoughts.
Immediately, his eyes were clear, and he said in a deep voice: "How did you ask you to inquire about the matter of Shu Xicheng?"
The black shadow hesitated and explained the changes in Shuxi City in detail.
Zhu Can pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The person recruited by Yang Xi has such strength, even the existence of Jin Dan died unexpectedly, could it be that he has a true realm of cultivation?"
After the black shadow pondered for a while, he shook his head slightly, "If it really has a Yuan Infant cultivation, it will definitely go to the Eastern Wilderness to find an opportunity to break through the realm, or take refuge in a few major kingdoms or stay in this poor country." ”
Zhu Can bowed his head slightly, and he suddenly squinted his eyes and said, "Did you say that person also came to the Heavenly Realm?"
The black shadow frowned, "The Tianshu Realm is not uncontrollable by the Lord of the Tianshu Country, could it be that he can pull up a group of people and fight the world?"
Zhu Can chuckled and said, "That's not for sure, am I not like this?"
The shadow was silent.
Zhu Can glanced back at him, "What are the plans within your clan?"
The black shadow shook for a while, and his breath was slightly revealed, "The elders of the clan are planning to go north, but those old stubborn people don't go out all year round, so I am afraid it will be difficult to make the trip." ”
Zhu Can's eyes flashed, his heart shook, and he quietly relaxed for some reason.
After the black shadow was gone, he exhaled a turbid breath, and there seemed to be a treacherous look in his eyes.
