"Isn't that mistaken?" Yang Tian asked Zeng Guoxuan a little dumbfounded, and Zeng Guoxuan and the leaders of several other guards regiments nodded innocently. Yang Tian could only let out a weak exclamation: "Fuck, it's really a big deal." ”

The vigorous activities of the members of the Guards who concocted by him to complain to their grandparents with family letters received unexpected and wonderful results, and the sons and brothers of the Guards Regiment, whether their grandparents had previous enmity or friendship, all colluded with everything, and then ruthlessly harmed those officials who preached Yang Tian's unreliability in front of the Emperor of Heaven. The consequences are not very serious, it is nothing more than more than 30 people who have been in the past have either been raided or exiled, and the three old men with the best luck have also been cut off and returned to their hometowns, and it is said that even their children are not allowed to re-enter the government within three generations.

Zeng Guoxuan and Jiang Chunshui's old man became the biggest winners, and the close cooperation between the two, who were originally a bit of antagonism in the political arena, uprooted all the characters who might pose a threat to them in one fell swoop, and became the well-deserved boss in the current Shengjing City. This result is also what Yang Tian is happy to see, after all, the harder the backer in the court, the better.

At the same time, the old eunuch really sent back the news to Shengjing as soon as possible that the wind and waves were too strong and he couldn't rush back in time. That is, two months later, Emperor Tianyou of Shengjing issued another holy decree, officially appointing Yang Tian as the governor of the western capital of the expeditionary force, with 1.5 million horses under his jurisdiction, and at the same time had the power to recruit and transfer troops. At the same time, according to the feedback from the scholars in the imperial court, it seems that the Heavenly Protector King is still a little unwilling, but I don't know why the Heavenly Blessing Emperor has sealed Yang Tiandafeng.

Long Feng touched his chin and suddenly sighed.

Yang Tian asked him a little strangely: "Isn't everything going well now? Why sigh? I can't see what we are worried about for the time being, as long as I officially become the governor of one side, I can implement your plan." ”

Long Feng asked him rhetorically: "Your mother is still in Shengdore, right? What if Emperor Tianyou is stationed there with tens of thousands of people, or if he wants your mother to go to Shengjing to listen to the reward and let her retire in Shengjing?"

Yang Tian was dumbfounded and didn't react, Long Feng continued to ask him: "Also, the people of the Guards Regiment, you have now relied on the strength of their family to make you achieve your wish, but it may not be that they can really influence the Heavenly Blessing Emperor. Emperor Tianyou is nothing more than telling you: Shengjing still has this big family of the Guards Regiment, and it can play a great role. When the time comes, will you not care whether those old men live or die, and you will only get into trouble, or what?"

Yang Tian cursed softly in his mouth: "Fuck, old bastard, I said how did he suddenly become so mediocre." It seems that those unlucky officials may not be the old ones who are useful, maybe it is the Emperor of Heaven who sees them unpleasantly and cleans them up by the way. ”

Long Feng nodded: "Think about it clearly, now the people of the Guards Regiment are much more profound, and they will be able to use them in the future, how to deal with this mess of trouble, I think you have to think about it." ”

Yang Tian suddenly laughed evilly: "Didn't you say that it would take at least fifty years for those schools to really produce results......? Fifty years later, those old men in the Holy Capital should be almost dead, right? Xiao Zeng, they should also get married and have children here, right? At that time, it will be the time for trouble...... If you plant some more stolen goods for Shengjing, the people of the Guards will also follow me with all their hearts, right?"

Long Feng nodded approvingly, strode to the door, and dropped a sentence: "Then you just have to think about your mother's problem, she is not an old woman, she will still be very energetic after fifty years, be careful that she comes over with a cane to knock your ass." ”

Yang Tian tilted his head and thought about it, laughing innocently like a child, but his two eyes were like the deepest and darkest swamp, and there was no expression of emotion at all.

Qiong Daotian laughed in the big tent of the Chinese army: "Hahahahaha, the governor of the West? So who is from the East? Who is from the North? Wonderful, wonderful, I can't imagine that the people of the God family finally have a shrewd mind." ”

Several old men of the Qiong family beside him gestured again and again: "Softly, softly." ”

Qiong Daotian nodded, lowered his voice and said, "Okay, the situation is out of control." Yang Tian himself commanded the army outside, Wen Yuan and I both wrote to protect him, and the emperor had no choice, so he simply sold us a favor...... Hehe, now we are from the west of the three continents, so we have made a Western Governor, that is, we will recognize that Yang Tian will become the governor of this land in the future, right?"

A very old general of the Qiong family nodded and said: "That's right, eldest young master, maybe it's still hinting at us, when the time comes, there will be four major governors of the central, eastern, southern, and northern regions who will reward us, which also means that we will work hard to make meritorious contributions." ”

Qiong Daotian waved his hand, crumpled the piece of paper that copied the holy decree into powder, and said loudly: "No matter so much, our Qiong family's own place is already good, and these newly beaten land does not have our share, but we also have to let the young people in the clan make more meritorious contributions, and we can go to Shengjing to find a good position in the future." ”

Everyone in the Qiong family nodded yes again and again.

As for Wen Yuan, he is open-minded, Yang Tian has received such a good reward, basically he has become the governor of his current territory, and he is worthy of Yang Wei. After all, Wen Yuan is a general raised by Yang Wei, and he has to explain a little bit about the 'dead' 'people'. This time, a letter of his own helped a little, as long as Yang Tian, a kid, behaved well and served the Celestial Empire well, he could calmly face the brothers who went south together back then......

At this moment, Yang Tian had already rushed out of the station, brought the most affectionate dozen members of the Guards Regiment, poured into the most luxurious restaurant in the most prosperous city under his jurisdiction, and after calling countless food and drinks and a large number of escort ladies, he began a carnival celebration.

During the banquet, Yang Tian rewarded the official positions of his territory one by one, and there must be brave men under the so-called heavy rewards, or there is money that can make ghosts grind, these truths Yang Tian is still very psychological. During the banquet, Yang Tian pretended to be drunk, and asked Jiang Chunshui with a big tongue: "I said Xiaoshui, when your old man is too old, just let him come here to retire, our brother is equal to the emperor of the soil, what else can not be done? ”

Jiang Chunshui also said with a big tongue: "Boss, I'm afraid my old man still can't do it, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to leave Shengjing......

Zeng Guoxuan echoed Yang Tian's meaning and desperately advocated the benefits of coming here, Jiang Chunshui was drunk anyway and didn't know what he was talking about, Yang Tian had a kind smile on his face, and his heart was already cold. Pretending to inadvertently listen to the meaning of the people at the same table, he hastily dispersed.

Long Feng was still busy writing books, opening new schools, and selecting young people with smart and flexible brains every day, and a large amount of gold and silver flowed into his hands through the fake accounts made by Yang Tian and others, and then invested in these facilities. Yang Tian doesn't say anything that might waste money now, after all, he is the first to have a more formal reward, plus for the sake of Wen Yuan's face, probably no one will snatch the ownership of this territory with him, now that Long Feng is preparing for his future events, what else can he be unhappy about?

None of Yang Tian's subordinate armies participated in the defense line of the Celestial Empire Army, and they were busy with things such as stabilizing law and order, recruiting husbands, and training new troops every day, the population of this continent was not very large, only more than 200 million, but there were also more than five million idle young adults, and the task now was to organize them thoroughly, let them join the army, and then put them into the next stage of the campaign against the Black Cloud Empire.

Lin Yiyun became a military officer appointed by Yang Tian, that is, responsible for recruiting recruits and other affairs. The method he used was very simple, he took more than a thousand cavalry to wander around Yang Tian's territory, and when he saw a town or village, he set up a table at the gate, put a large pile of gold ingots on his hand, and then began to bluff: "Come on, come on, everyone come and take a look, join the army of the Celestial Empire, and cash the military salary on the spot...... Eh, the army of the Celestial Empire is good, the salary is high, the benefits are good, and the mission is not dangerous...... After the destruction of the Black Cloud Empire, you are the heroes, how much can you be an official...... Take a look and take a look, the yellow gold is waiting for you......"

The whole virtue is a dog skin plaster sold on the rivers and lakes.

Zeng Guoxuan didn't follow Long Feng to engage in education, he was still much more interested in dealing with gold and silver, and took tens of thousands of iron horsemen to inspect back and forth in various mines, where there was a foreman who bullied the servants, he cut off his head directly without saying a word, according to him: "These servants can earn us a lot of gold and silver, fuck you beat them, that is, beat Lao Tzu's money, don't cut you still have the king's law?"

Jiang Chunshui assumed the role of the internal affairs officer he was most reluctant to be, and every day he was to take people around and ask the locals if there were any talents nearby, if there were any hermit masters or something, and if there were, he would be responsible for digging these people into Yang Tian's camp. However, Jiang Chunshui doesn't have any tricks, that is, violent threats and heavy money lure, anyone who still refuses to cooperate more than twice will be wiped out, and if there is a beautiful female dependent, he will often be killed directly. According to his explanation: "Damn, boss, we are inviting talents, not asking our ancestors to go back and offer them." Fuck, I gave them face, they ignore Lao Tzu, they just ignore you, boss, don't you damn it?"

Yang Tian also felt justified after hearing it, so he went with him. But it's not ideal, more than 100 people with a little talent have come out, Yang Tian directly drove away the nobles of the autonomous political axe in the city, and the role of the political official is played by these people who have a good reputation in the hearts of the people......

If it is three months, the cold winter has passed, the Celestial Empire army has been reorganized, plus the newly assembled local new army, there are also 11 million people, although in terms of quality, only the cavalry of the Celestial Empire or the Western Continent of the first, second and third route armies has real combat effectiveness, but the millions of new troops trained from Yang Tian's violent ravages are, according to Qiong Daotian's words: " Forget it, it can be used improvised, it's not bad to have such results in less than three months, at least a little stronger than cannon fodder, and it can consume some of the energy of the Black Cloud Army. ”

The Celestial Empire army has prepared sufficient grain and grass, and as for the military salary, it has even been paid in advance for half a year, and with Wen Yuan's order, the mighty Celestial Empire army set off again. This mission: to find the main legion of the Black Cloud Empire and destroy them...... If you encounter the undead legions, destroy them, of course, only if you are in a situation of absolute superiority.

30,000 warships slowly sailed along the coastline towards the continent where the Black Cloud Empire's current capital is located, their purpose is to constantly harass and contain the Black Cloud Empire's energy, and find the possible sailors of the Black Cloud Empire for a large-scale decisive battle. The remaining 20,000 warships were responsible for the maritime security of the now conquered continent, after all, the treasures such as pearls, corals, and tortoiseshells that the Holy Capital had specified were still produced at sea.

Yang Tian left a part of his men and horses to guard his first real territory, and set off with a million horses and horses. Zeng Guoxuan was overjoyed to accept Long Feng's 'treatment', and after a period of ghost crying, he stroked the regrown arm, Zeng Guoxuan didn't dare to look at Long Feng again, it was too painful......

Jiang Chunshui was very proud: "Boss, every time you go on an expedition, there are more and more soldiers you lead, fuck, our military rank is getting higher and higher, it's really cool, now I have more than 100,000 horses under my command, hehe......"

Yang Tian unceremoniously hit his enthusiasm: "Fuck, if I hadn't taken you with me, with your virtue, if you took more than 100,000 people alone, you would definitely be eaten by others." ”

Then, ignoring the ugly faces of the boys and buddies, Yang Tian asked the military intelligence officer beside him: "Where is Marshal Wen's Chinese army?" Pay attention to remind me to keep my distance from the Chinese army, don't leave too far, I don't want to be chased by others for a few more months. ”

When Zeng Guoxuan heard this, he suddenly exclaimed loudly: "Boss, it's over, didn't we leave an army behind when we left last time......? Isn't it going to be a skeleton shelf?"

Yang Tian covered his mouth with one hand and whispered, "Shut the fuck, I won't treat you as a dumb person." As if glaring at him fiercely, Yang Tian whispered a little depressedly: "Fuck, who cares if that bastard general is dead or alive now, damn, honestly follow me to fight, and finally get the military merit smoothly...... Do you know what the crime of putting your own army to death is?"

Zeng Guoxuan opened his mouth wide, nodded fiercely, and didn't say much more. Anyway, it's just tens of thousands of horses, and if they die, they will die, just treat them as if they were killed...... Well, it seems that I still remember their names, and if it is confirmed that they are indeed dead, give them a heavy reward, and give them a generous reward for their families, so why bother yourself?

The boundless army marched forward on the more vast and boundless wilderness, Yang Tian and the others marched at the front of the queue, and a row of more than two hundred columns of horses followed them closely. In the middle of the brigade was a carriage wrapped in thick iron armor, which was an additional overseer suddenly added to Yang Tian during this expedition, and Yang Tian and the others had no reason not to accept it, so they had to bring this old man who was missing certain organs in the team.

A horse galloped from the front, and a small red banner behind his shoulder indicated his identity, a member of the scout team sent out by Yang Tian. The scout suddenly rose up when he was still more than ten zhang away from Yang Tianma, knelt down steadily in front of Yang Tianma, and reported loudly: "My lord, there is nothing wrong within a hundred miles ahead, within a radius of a hundred miles, there are seven villages, about 30,000 residents, and they have not noticed our movement yet. ”

Yang Tian asked him a little surprised: "It's strange, didn't those skeletons and zombies kill them all?"

The scout was also a little puzzled and said, "My subordinates also have this question, seeing that although those villages are covered with thick wooden fences, they are not enough to resist the large-scale attack of the undead army. What is the specific reason, because the adults are strictly in contact with the residents, so there is no way to investigate. ”

Yang Tian casually threw him a silver medal for his merits and said, "Keep exploring...... Dude, what do you think?" the latter sentence was for Long Feng.

Long Feng frowned, and said in a low voice: "these necromantic things, I'm not very proficient in them to tell you the truth, maybe the old monks of the Black Sky are more familiar than me...... But the last time I dispersed the few people who controlled them, was it because of the lack of indulgers that the power of these things had decreased, so these villages would survive?"

Yang Tian nodded: "Almost, I think it's the same." After all, these skeletons are powered by powerful dead spirits and resentful spirits, and I don't believe they can actually wander around without constant energy replenishment. Besides, it's so cold in winter, and it's a bit of damage to those bones, maybe their strength has weakened a lot. ”

The two suddenly looked at each other nervously: "Since the strength of the Undead Legion has been weakened so much, and winter is not suitable for their large-scale attack operations, then what is the Black Cloud Legion doing?" Yang Tian hurriedly ordered: "Come on, immediately send a message to Marshal Wen of the Chinese Army, and say that you will consider whether the Undead Legion may be wiped out in large numbers in winter because it is not suitable for combat." Considering the current movements of the Black Cloud Legion, after all, there are still so many civilians living in front of us, so it can be seen that those undead armies are almost dead. ”

Yang Tian frowned, and was about to go to remote sense the movements of the Black Cloud Army, but Long Feng quickly stopped him: "Don't do this often, war is the most wonderful thing, relying on one's own ability to master war, the enjoyment that can be obtained in it is more wonderful than the achievement obtained by relying on ability...... Also, keep in mind that you're going to run into problems that you can't solve with your abilities, and you can't always try to solve your enemies that way. ”

Yang Tian nodded, with a wave of his hand, a cavalry team of 10,000 people roared away, and soon broke away from the brigade and became the vanguard of the sentry detectives, and half an hour later, another cavalry of 100,000 people rushed out and kept a distance of an hour with the team.

Wen Yuan of the Chinese army received a message from Yang Tian's Pegasus two hours later, pondered for a long time, and ordered: "All front armies, pay attention to keeping a distance between them, and give each other a chance to break through." The baggage team in the rear mobilized all the artillery and was ready to be put into use at any time. ”

Just more than two thousand miles in front of the Celestial Empire's army, the most prosperous area of the Black Cloud Empire had turned into a rubble field, and their pride, the towering Yanjing, had turned into a ruin. More than 30,000 giant skeletons emitting black light led the last remaining 200,000 skeleton soldiers to howl and entangle with the dense black cloud soldiers, blood splattered everywhere, and bone chips flew everywhere...... Van St, who was supervising the battle, waved his hand impatiently, and suddenly ten thousand cannons fired behind him, and those skeletons and black cloud soldiers were all reduced to ashes.

Van Sted proudly boasted to Tunggulas beside him: "You still have to use thunder methods, these damn monsters, now they can honestly sleep in the ground...... Tunggulas, don't you be so bitter, can you? We've overcome these crumbs. ”

Tunggulas looked ugly and said, "Spring has arrived. ”

Van Ster laughed: "Do you want to play with women? Although the nearby area has been destroyed a lot in the past few months, there are still many residents left, so it's better to find a few beauties...... Hey hey ......"

Tunggulas glared at him, shook his head and sighed, "That's right, we have destroyed, think about it, there are about 20 million such monsters, but what about our own military strength? A whole winter of soldiers who have not rested, armor that is almost about to collapse, weapons that are notched...... The most important thing is that our two current subordinates only have eight million exhausted men left, and if those aliens attack, what are we going to do?

Van Ster lightly flicked the long hair on his forehead with his fingers, thought about it carefully, and said: "Strength is not a problem, didn't Your Majesty recruit a large number of recruits in the rear? We still have those militias in the Central Plains that can be used, although they are similar to skeletons, but it is still good to consume the physical strength of aliens, anyway, it is not our people." As for the aliens, we now have 20,000 guns of all kinds, do we need to worry about them? ”

Tunggulas nodded: "Vanst, it seems that your recent victory has not overwhelmed your brain. ”

Van Ster said proudly, "Of course...... I know you have a good relationship with Strongen, but the news from Xingdu has not been in his favor lately...... Well, we don't have to argue about a dead man or anything, do we? After all, the two of us are now the supreme commanders of the entire empire, so what else are you not satisfied with?"

Tunggulas nodded and strode away, leaving Van Sted with a satisfied smile.

Under Wen Yuan's order, the army of the Celestial Empire began a cautious march, and the daily journey of the large army did not exceed fifty miles, inadvertently giving the Black Cloud Army of Van Sturt a time to rectify, he forcibly asked the great lords whose territory had not been destroyed to offer armor, weapons, grain and grass, and asked them to contribute all their slaves to organize a large number of death teams.

The high-level of the Black Cloud Empire has moved to the easternmost continent, under the high pressure of the Emperor [***] team, the people of that continent work hard, and the artillery and other materials needed for the war are constantly being manufactured, and the only thing needed is time, which needs time to be transported to the hands of Van St.

Van Ster stood on the highest tower of the former imperial palace and looked down on the whole land, near the dilapidated former Yanjing, more than 8 million Black Cloud troops set up camp and began to work intensively to recover. Now that there is grain and grass and war horses, it will only take a little time to become a strong army again. If the army of the aliens can be wiped out, then the reward given by His Majesty the Emperor must be rare in history, right?

Van Sted is really grateful to the dead Stromgen, if it weren't for the fact that he inexplicably had the crime of deliberately releasing the undead army, how could he replace him as the supreme commander of the empire? Whether it is in terms of title or personal strength, as well as the power of the family, he will never be able to catch up with him, but since he is not only a fork, but also seems to have died in battle, is that not his chance?

The four commanders of the same status as himself were either killed in battle or seriously injured, or a series of defeats made Huang Yanjing dare not trust him anymore, as one of the commanders of the legions directly under the five royal families, he was the only candidate to resist the aliens, right?

When I think about it, the 20,000 artillery pieces on hand are really annoying, how can we use them properly? Indiscriminate firing can only cause unnecessary casualties to our own army...... It's a real headache. In the past, the Emperor [***] team had only used 300 artillery pieces together at most......

However, all the troubles, compared with the honor and great benefits of the future, Van Ster did not realize what these problems were. Your Majesty will at least give yourself a vast and frightening fiefdom, right? Van Sted thought proudly that his family should also replace some ancient family forces and become the most powerful family in the empire.

Neither Fanster nor Tunggulas expected that the combined forces of the Celestial Empire, with a total number of more than 10 million, had already arrived at a place less than half a month away from them.
