Cassia Island, famous for a long time
This is actually my first time coming here.
The sea breeze is strong from the north to the south, and Wu'anhou's majesty on Huai Island has not yet reached Jueming Island, but Wu'anhou has already arrived first.
There were no lines of welcome, flags raised or shouts.
Cassia Island has its own defense tasks, and the soldiers do not have that much time to spare. However, wherever Jiang Wang went, he was greeted with eyes of reverence.
The Marquis Wu'an of Da Qi, who had a household of 3,000 households, represented the height that a young man with no background could achieve in this hegemonic country in the Eastern Region by relying on his own hard work.
And this is far from the end.
He is only twenty-two years old this year, and he is already only one step away from the Political Hall or the Military Hall.
Many people knew in their hearts that the emperor threw him overseas just to complete this last step.
If in the past, Jiang Wang might become the next Jiang Mengxiong, it was only an expectation that existed in the hearts of a few people.
After he returned from the demon world, this has almost become a consensus.
In the entire offshore archipelago, Cassia Island is in the south, Huai Island is in the middle, and Yanggu is in the north. They are like the sharp three prongs of a trident, facing the roaring waves of the sea.
It is also like the three flags holding the sea and Fulong. Over the long years, they have united the sea people and stabilized the sea territory. But unlike Huai Island and Yanggu, Cassia Island is an artificial island.
It is extremely wide and can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people living on the island.
But it was built bit by bit by the people of Qi who diverted the earth's veins, retreated the sea tide, built up soil and piled stones.
It does not have any innate advantageous environment, but after it was built, it became the strongest fortress in the sea.
In fact, he has endured the greatest pressure from the mystery world.
The word "Jue Ming" engraved on the Zhenhai Stone where we landed on the island was personally engraved by Jiang Mengxiong, the God of the Qi Army.
As the saying goes, "I risk my life and death to decide between light and darkness." The purple flag of the Eastern Kingdom is fluttering in the wind here.
At this time, except for Qi Xiao, no one on Ju Ming Island could be equal to Jiang Wang in terms of status.
But he still upheld the duty of a junior and stayed on the outer island honestly, sending out famous invitations in a polite manner and asking people to pass them on.
He respected Qi Xiao very much.
Not to mention the friendship between them that they had supported each other at the Tianya Stage in the early days, and the fact that they were transferred here by the emperor to learn the art of war.
Qi Xiao's own legendary experience has also made her the object of admiration for countless women around the world and made many men ashamed.
The higher you go, the more you understand the deep roots of those famous families.
He, Jiang, had only been around for a few years, but he had already established a huge network of relationships in Qi. Those long-standing aristocratic families, ever-famous families, have unimaginable horrors behind them.
Qi Xiao cut off all ties and joined the army. Finally, he snatched Xia's body from the hands of Qi family in Donglai, became the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers, and entered the military hall.
This matter is no less difficult than when Chong Xuanxin is in charge of Qiu Sha.
The second time I met Qi Xiao, it was already dusk and night was about to fall. The location is in her handsome tent located in the easternmost part of Cassia Island—
Yes, there is not a single civil structure in the entire Ju Ming Island, they are all marching tents. There are no ordinary people here, all the people stationed are soldiers.
Ordnance is a fence, swords and guns are a forest, and iron sand is a road.
This is a huge military camp, and it has a dangerous feeling of being alone in the wilderness with a torch. In such a military camp where Qi State has stationed a large number of troops, the biggest feeling you feel is "unsafe".
You can't relax and even have trouble breathing.
The soldiers who happened to pass by on patrol had alert eyes and restrained murderous intent, not letting go of any slightest sign.
Looking at his soldiers and seeing his generals, we can get a glimpse of Qi Xiao's military management style.
"Marquis Wu'an has seen a lot along the way. Can you give me some advice?" The handsome tent on Ju Ming Island was not luxurious. It could even be said to be too simple. Qi Xiao did not raise his head when he asked.
Wearing armor and stomach, she stood in front of the wooden case. She held the sword in her left hand and pointed the sword in her right hand.
He moved slightly on the picture, as if he was looking for something.
From Jiang Wang's perspective, he could only see the peak of her nose and her lips that seemed to be forever cold. He knew this question was a test.
Although it was the emperor's holy will to ask the commander of the Xia Shi Army to teach Wu Anhou the art of war. But as a figure at the top of Qi State's power, Qi Xiao has enough freedom. Furthermore, teaching is about teaching, what to teach and how much to teach must be done according to aptitude.
Jiang Wang smiled bitterly and said, "With my military skills, I am at best just a small soldier under Commander Qi. How can I learn anything?"
Qi Xiao still didn't raise his head: "Humility is a virtue, but not in the army." Jiang Wang did not defend himself, saying that he was not modest, but just self-aware.
After all, I had never really come into contact with Qi Xiao before. After landing on Jueming Island, Qi Xiao’s style was everywhere. She probably wouldn't like to argue.
Jiang Wang said seriously: "There are no suggestions, only feelings. Discipline, danger, and vigilance." "If I must give you some suggestions?" Qi Xiao said in a voice.
"Is this a military order?" Jiang Wang asked.
But before he finished speaking, he realized that he had asked a question.
Qi Xiao paused while moving his sword finger on the map. He raised his head for the first time and looked at Jiang Wang: "Where do you think you are standing now?"
It was already quiet outside the tent, but now the flags were ringing, like thunder, and the people were being hunted. This is the woman that my sister-in-law Qu Shunhua admires the most...it's really dangerous!
Recognize mistakes and face them head on.
Jiang Wang's posture was dignified and he said: "If I have to give you some advice, I think that Ju Ming Island might be able to build a high wall and mount more powerful crossbows to strengthen the island's defense."
Commander Xia Zhi before the military case said quietly: "There were originally high walls here. After I came, they were all demolished."
Jiang Wangdao: "I don't understand very well, but I will definitely implement it."
"High walls will give people a sense of security, and a sense of security will make people relax." Qi Xiao said, "This is not a place where you can relax, and what we have to face is not an opponent we can relax on." Jiang Wang said, "If A person like Qi Shuai is naturally not afraid of pressure, but he is just afraid that his soldiers will not be able to bear it easily."
"The soldiers under me are usually rotated every six months, no more than one year at most. Because the mental pressure here is indeed different from other places." Qi Xiao said casually: "You want to learn the art of war from me, have you thought clearly about it? ?」
Jiang Wang simply said: "In terms of resisting pressure, I'm pretty good."
Qi Xiao nodded, agreeing that he would join his army, and then asked: "Did you come by yourself?"
From this moment on, he officially became Qi Xiao's subordinate, and he would follow Qi Xiao in battles and learn the art of war from Qi Xiao.
It's already teaching time.
Jiang Wang probably understood the crux of this question and answered truthfully: "I went to Tianxing Cliff to do some personal business and my guard is still on the way."
The speed of God's arrival is not the same as that of non-God's arrival monks, especially his physical skills are very good.
He took a trip to Tianxing Cliff and took all the true stories of Sanxing Palace to Huai Island. Bai Yuxia and the guards of the Hou Mansion who had made up for the loss were still floating on which keel boat.
With Jiang Wang's current strength, it would be difficult for a guard to play the role of a guard. But to learn the art of war, you must have soldiers at your disposal.
The guards of the Hou Mansion are his guard of honor in peacetime, and are his messengers on the battlefield. They are the extension of his limbs and the outward expression of his will in the military formation.
Any general who can be named has such a guard under his command. He is a man of honor in peacetime and sacrifices his life in wartime.
The commander of thousands of troops and horses all uses his personal guards as the skeleton, so that he can use his arms and fingers in the shortest possible time. Jiang Wang brought these 200 guards with him when he went to the Demon Realm and the Mysterious Realm. It's not that he didn't have more troops - there was also a group of Tiqi on the other side of Laoshan.
But he has a clear understanding of himself and understands that he currently does not have the ability to command a large corps in combat. For an army with less than 10,000 soldiers, two hundred guards are enough to serve as the core.
"When will we arrive?" Qi Xiao asked. "I guess it will be soon." Jiang Wang replied. "Soon?" Qi Xiao's voice rose.
Jiang Wangqing knew something was wrong, so he bit the bullet and said, "If nothing else happens, we will be able to reach Jueming Island before the sun sets tomorrow."
Qi Xiao looked at him quietly, making him extremely uncomfortable, and then said: "I must remind you that this is a march. You should give me a specific time point, and the error cannot exceed three quarters of an hour. Instead of giving me such a general time frame, let alone telling me, "It's almost here."
Jiang Wang felt that cold sweat was beginning to break out on his forehead. For a moment or two, he felt as if he was in Donghua Pavilion, with mountains of "History's Swordsman Cutting the Sea" in front of him... This damn sense of oppression!
"The general will realize his mistake. This will never happen again." He said seriously.
Qi Xiao did not pursue them fiercely, but said quietly: "You lack understanding of your guards, let alone control them, or in other words, you are too lazy to do it. You usually leave the guards aside and do your own thing. matter?"
"That's about it..." Jiang Wang reluctantly replied.
Qi Xiao's voice was always low: "It's okay in peacetime, but in wartime?" Jiang Wang answered decisively: "No!"
Qi Xiao asked again: "You have an outstanding talent among your guards who can properly help you handle everything, including troop training... You don't need to worry about it at all, right?"
If he was facing Xiu Yuan, Jiang Wang would probably flatter him and say that the commander was really good at predicting things.
But facing Qi Xiao, he only replied honestly: "Brother Bai Yuxia has submitted to my residence now. He is indeed a talented person, proficient in all aspects of literature, Taoism and military strategy. In terms of military management, I am far inferior to him." "
Qi smiled and said "Oh" and said: "He is not allowed to go to the island."
After saying that, he lowered his head to look at the map, indicating that the conversation was over. Jiang Wang performed a military salute and quietly exited the commander's tent.
What a... impressive lesson.
Although he participated in several major battles and was honored with military merit, he never dared to say that he understood the word "soldier" in military strategists.
He also had close contact with many famous players.
Duhou Cao was very stable in his troops. He often just marched step by step, and his opponents were crushed to death calmly without any chance.
Dingyuan Marquis Chongxuan Chu Liang's soldiers were extremely sharp and extremely murderous. He often killed the enemy and broke the courage, and he could always play amazing and famous games.
And Qi Xiao gave him the feeling of danger. Extremely dangerous.
It was like being alone in an endless wilderness, with the night falling and shadows all around.
You can't see what's hidden in the darkness, but you know danger is all around. You don't know what those dangers are, but you know the fear, and you know that if you make the wrong move... you will die.
Jiang Wang said that Bai Yuxia was well versed in literature, Taoism, and military strategy, and he was not lying.
People say that the Marquis of Wu'an in the Qi Dynasty is unparalleled in the limelight, and he is considered to be the first-class nobleman in the Eastern Kingdom, but in fact he has no foundation. Taking his personal guards as an example, his personal guards are all elite soldiers who accompanied him in the Xia Dynasty, and they are already the best of the best.
But among those true generals, there is no way to get in.
Like Li Longchuan's personal guards, they were all sons of the Li family who had been raised in Shimen for generations, and they were all loyal. They have been trained since childhood and are proficient in battle formations. They are able to control most of the military formations in Qi Dynasty and can truly help the general on the battlefield.
The reason why Chongxuan Sheng was able to run rampant on the Qixia battlefield was that the shadow guards left to him by his father Chongxuan Futu under the guise of Chongxuan Chu Liang played a big role in it.
As for Jiang Wang's bodyguard, it had not been long since they were formally established. Many battle formations needed to be re-trained, and they had not necessarily experienced any real high-level battles.
They are all ordinary people, serving as soldiers to feed themselves.
However, under the command of Bai Yuxia, this personal guard with a full quota of two hundred people sharpened their skills in the battlefield of the demon world and grew rapidly.
Now, no one can tell that this guard with iron-blooded temperament has not been established for a long time.
As Bai Yuxia once said, he is not afraid of not being able to lead the troops well, he just feels that there are not enough soldiers! Marquis Wu'an took the first step and turned to Tianxing Cliff.
After receiving the souvenir, Bai Yuxia stopped training urgently and gathered the team to go to sea.
The letter was written in a hurry, and there was nothing else on it except the words "Cassia Island". Of course this does not trouble Bai Yuxia, but it is somewhat sloppy.
Bai Yuxia tentatively interpreted it as... the Marquis' confidence in his abilities.
So we rode out to sea. In order not to waste the time of the Marquis, we communicated while walking and sailed while clearing the way - the Marquis didn't even leave a guide or say hello to the passers-by.
He would explain over and over again that we are the guards of Marquis Wu'an, and we go to sea with Marquis Wu'an. People ask where is Marquis Wu'an?
Answer: The Japanese soldiers are divided into two groups!
Under this situation, while still maintaining the combat effectiveness of the guards, he arrived at Juedi Island as quickly as possible, and was finally stopped by the guards of Juedi Island.
After finally waiting for Marquis Wu An to come out, he just patted himself on the shoulder and asked him to go to Huai Island to play for a while...
no.
As soon as I gave you Jiang Wu'an's job, you disappeared and the building collapsed for me in the demon world. I, Bai Yuxia, don't have a single complaint. I am loyal to my duty and immersed in training.
After finally waiting for you to come back, I have been training for thousands of days. Just waiting for you to regain your strength, I will follow you across the world. At the same time, I will strengthen myself, explore the limits of the outer building, and break the barrier between heaven and man...
So I just came to Cassia Island and you fired me? Are you afraid that I will get in your way? !
The dignified Marquis Wu'an, believes in those illusory fortunes, but doesn't believe in his own strength? Bai Yuxia spread her hands, her head filled with questions.
"Ahem!" After all, Marquis Wu An considered his majesty and lowered his voice to explain: "Qi Shuai feels that I am too dependent on you in running the army. If you follow me, I will have no room to use my military skills."
Bai Yuxia blinked innocently, probably wanting to ask, Lord Marquis, what tactics can you use?
But after all, you have to be tactful when eating from others, so he said, "But if I leave...are you familiar with all the eight military formations trained this year?"
Marquis Wu An scratched his head and whispered, "Write a booklet for me later."
Bai Yuxia asked again: "There are also "Sea Beasts Chronicles" and "Six Directions of the Sea" prepared for this trip to sea, as well as "Twenty-six Naval Battles" that collect and analyze the most classic naval battles in history... You have them all. What?"
Marquis Wu An was indeed stopped by the question. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Give it all to me. I will carry it when you turn around." Bai Yuxia then knew that this time it was really Commander Qi Xiaoqi who had given the order to die, and the Marquis could not disobey it. . He would even rather endorse it!
That’s it! Bai is not a person who forces himself!
"Okay." Bai Yuxia glanced at the guards he had personally trained, handed all the boxes of books he had prepared for this trip to Marquis Wu An, then turned around and set foot on a small broken boat alone: "You go and make contributions. It doesn’t matter to me that I go alone to Waishima, a place I am unfamiliar with, to wait for the Marquis. Anyway, my life is boring every day.”
"Hey wait!" Hou Wu'an's voice came from behind.
Bai Yuxia didn't look back, she held her sword straight and said very arrogantly: "What are your orders? "It's nothing... I just want to remind you, don't mention my name in Huai Island.
Bai Yuxia only felt that the sea breeze was very cold, which chilled her heart. The hilt of the sword was so cold that the chill penetrated into her finger bones. He said indifferently: "Master Hou, don't worry."
So the boat went far away and swam alone into the sea.
Even if someone is beaten to death, cursed to death, or jumped from the sea, I will never mention your name Jiang Wuan!
