"What? You still have this illusion of not starting a war?"
Wang Cheng looked at Chen Jia, this man couldn't see the situation clearly at all!
At this moment, Liu Qingsheng, who was sitting aside, said, "Master Chen, you have made such a great contribution this time. Can you see that you have received the reward?"
Chen Jia was startled when he heard this. When he was told this, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
My lord has made such great achievements this time, whether it is capturing Ji County, beheading General Luzhou in formation, or burning Yanzhou to force Li Yuanqing to withdraw his troops, these are all great achievements.
For such a great contribution, not to mention being granted a title of lord or general, the reward is definitely not small, but my lord actually got nothing.
There is only one possibility in this situation, and that is...it's not time to reward based on merit yet!
Chen Jia murmured to himself: "Is there really going to be a war?"
To be honest, he didn't want to fight at all, because fighting meant death. Once people died, it was not a small number. I don't know how many families were broken.
"Since we are going to fight a war, why is there no movement at all?" He still refused to give up.
Liu Qingsheng said solemnly: "The more war there is, the more concealed it is. Otherwise, if people see through the intention of the march, how can we fight this war?"
"The calm before the storm." Wang Cheng sighed.
Liu Qingsheng's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Your Majesty is right! This is the calm before the storm."
As a school captain, Wang Cheng certainly knew much more than his subordinates.
For example, General Zhenxi sent 15,000 troops to support them, but he did not see these 15,000 troops marching into the city. Until now, only the five captains had actually shown up.
So, where are these fifteen thousand troops?
Wang Cheng doesn't know either. The only one who really knows is Zhu Bangguo, the general of Jianwei Zhonglang.
"alright!"
Wang Cheng waved his hand and said: "War is not our concern. When to fight and how to fight are decided by the people above. All we can do is obey orders and follow orders!"
The two looked solemn and said, "Yes!"
"Although there is no movement in the west at the moment, something bigger is definitely brewing. We must guard the camp and not slack off at all!"
Wang Cheng then turned to look at Chen Jia and said, "Sir Chen, all military supplies such as grain, grass, medicine, weapons, etc. will be calculated immediately and reported to me according to the specifications of the war."
"Yes!" Chen Jia agreed immediately.
Wang Cheng looked at Liu Qingsheng again and said, "Sir, I will sit in the camp together and handle military affairs together. We have to plan many things carefully."
"yes!"
Liu Qingsheng happily agreed. Although he had been dealing with matters in the camp in the past few days, it was because Wang Cheng was away and he was temporary at best.
Now that Wang Cheng has decided this matter personally, he can be regarded as a veritable school captain. He is the one with the most power among the people in the school besides Wang Cheng!
Chen Jia felt envious in her heart. Wang Cheng really cultivated the other party as one of his own.
In the future, as Wang Cheng takes further steps, Liu Qingsheng will inevitably rise.
But this is something he can't envy. He doesn't have the ability to coordinate the overall situation like Liu Qingsheng, and he can't make suggestions. It's okay to let him take care of logistics such as food, grass, and military pay.
"Sir! I'll take my leave first!"
Chen Jia did not stay in the tent and ask for trouble. After getting Wang Cheng's approval, he left on his own initiative.
Only Wang Cheng and Liu Qingsheng were left in the tent, so they no longer had any worries.
Liu Qingsheng was the first to speak: "Sir, why were you the last one to come back from the raid on Yanzhou City that night?"
This is what he has always wanted to know. He also saw it with his own eyes when Wang Cheng turned into a bloody man and was brought back by Qing Lei.
Wang Cheng did not hide this matter. After all, he had talked with Zhu Pengfei and his son. Even if he didn't tell it now, it would spread soon.
However, Liu Qingsheng was the first person to fully hear what happened that night.
"Burn Yanzhou City on fire, kill two martial arts masters alone, and then chop off the arm of the Cavalry General Li Yuanqing..."
Liu Qingsheng was extremely shocked. He could not imagine that such a young person had done so many great things!
He was only twenty-three or four years old. Facing four martial masters alone, he not only killed two of them, but also cut off an arm of the grand master. It was really shocking.
Liu Qingsheng looked at Wang Cheng with admiration and said: "My subordinates have heard that there are four levels of warriors in the army. The first is called a fierce general, with a strength of more than six thousand kilograms, and his energy and blood are like wolf smoke; the second is called an extremely fierce general, with a strength of more than six thousand kilograms. Nine thousand kilograms, his energy and blood are like rainbow clouds; the third is a peerless warrior, his strength exceeds twelve thousand kilograms, his energy and blood are like a dragon; the fourth is a peerless warrior, his divine power is inexhaustible, and monsters cannot get close to him!"
He continued: "I would like to ask, sir, has your Excellency reached the level of a peerless general?"
Wang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe."
In fact, in terms of strength alone, he has indeed reached the level of a peerless warrior, with strength exceeding 12,000 kilograms, and he can even hit with a full force of 15,000 kilograms.
However, measuring a peerless warrior does not only depend on strength. Otherwise, those beasts that are known for their strength will all be peerless warriors. What is more important is personal force!
As far as he knew, a truly peerless warrior would not be afraid of a great master at all. If they really wanted to fight one on one, a great master would not necessarily be a peerless warrior's opponent.
When he fought with Li Yuanqing that night, he didn't have any advantage at first. It was only after breaking through the dragon blood of Zhoutian realm martial artist that he entered his body that he barely defeated Li Yuanqing.
However, his "maybe" sounded to Liu Qingsheng's ears like he was being self-effacing.
Liu Yuanqing immediately stood up from his seat, came below, and bowed and saluted: "God bless Zhou! With a peerless general like you, the Xia Kingdom has nothing to fear!"
Wang Cheng's face turned red at the comment, and he waved his hand and said, "I've said that!"
"No!"
Liu Qingsheng immediately denied Wang Cheng's words, straightened up and said, "You may not know, but Li Xiang, the sixth son of the current Xia King, has been training in the army for several years. There are rumors that he has reached the level of a peerless warrior, and a great master has been defeated by him. !”
"Li Xiang?"
Wang Cheng secretly remembered this person's name in his heart. Before this, neither Jianwei Zhonglang General Zhu Bangguo nor Zhenxi General Song Huchen mentioned this person.
"There is a peerless general in the Xia Kingdom..."
Wang Cheng murmured to himself. He suddenly stared at Liu Qingsheng and asked, "Is the news reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable!"
Liu Qingsheng nodded and said: "This Li Xiang is younger than the adults. It is said that he is born with supernatural powers. When he was a child, he was stronger than a thousand catties. When he was in elementary school, he was two times behind. In his weakest year, that is, last year, he defeated the enemy with his own strength. A great master.”
He specifically said: "These are the secrets of the Xia Kingdom. I overheard the two brothers, Captain Tuoba, talking about them when they were drunk."
"No wonder!" Wang Cheng understood.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand. After all, it is the seed of a peerless warrior, and it has already sprouted. It can be used as a secret weapon and must be hidden.
"This matter needs to be reported to the general. If you encounter this person in the future, it's best to take precautions in advance."
Liu Qingsheng believed deeply that a peerless general could even turn the tide of battle on the battlefield. It was precisely because of this that he told the story.
Knowing that Xia Guo hid such a big killer weapon, Wang Cheng felt an even greater sense of urgency.
He felt that Zhu Bangguo's defensive strategy was still too conservative. If they expected others to come to them first for everything, they would be passive in everything.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately ordered Liu Qingsheng: "Sir, don't worry about other things for the time being. We will fully supervise the construction of the city and ensure that the tasks assigned by the general are completed within five days."
Liu Qingsheng didn't ask any questions, nodded in agreement, and then left the tent.
Wang Cheng didn't stay in the tent either. He found a horse from Wu Feilong and hurried back to the city without stopping.
Camp in the west of the city.
Zhu Bangguo was a little surprised to see Wang Cheng again, because Wang Cheng had fully planned to leave here for less than a stick of incense, but he came back again.
Wang Cheng did not waste any nonsense and directly told the story that Li Xiang, the sixth prince of Xia Kingdom, was a peerless warrior.
After Zhu Bangguo heard this, his expression became extremely solemn and said: "Is this serious?"
"Basically certain." Wang Cheng nodded.
Zhu Bangguo couldn't sit still at all. He got down from his seat, paced back and forth, and cursed: "Damn it! This Xia King Li Yuanjie has hidden himself too deeply. One of his sons has become a peerless general without saying a word!"
He suddenly stopped and said, "No! This matter must be reported to General Song, so that he must take precautions."
"Come……"
He immediately opened his mouth to call for someone, but the word "person" was not shouted out. He glanced at Wang Cheng and said with a strange expression: "Boy, tell me the truth, did you really chop off Li Yuanqing's arm?"
Wang Cheng nodded. He had said this once before in front of Zhu Bangguo.
After Zhu Bangguo received Wang Cheng's affirmative reply, he narrowed his eyes and said, "So, you have also reached the level of a peerless warrior?"
Wang Cheng was about to say "maybe" again, but was blocked by Zhu Bangguo's next sentence.
"Tell me the truth and don't be sloppy. Have you reached the perfect state in the qi and blood realm?"
This time, Wang Cheng was no longer vague, nodded and said: "Yes!"
"good!!"
Zhu Bangguo couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "God bless me, Da Zhou! Huh! Even though Li Yuanjie can calculate everything, there are times when he can't calculate it!"
Wang Cheng felt a little dizzy after hearing this and didn't know what Zhu Bangguo meant.
Zhu Bangguo didn't explain anything to him. He returned to his seat, picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter. Then he handed the letter to Wang Cheng and told him: "You immediately set off for Wuping County and hand this letter to Wang Cheng." In the hands of General Song."
Wang Cheng took the letter and asked doubtfully: "General, I am going to deliver the letter. What will happen to the brothers under me?"
Zhu Bangguo glared at him and said, "Don't worry about it! Can I still treat them badly?"
When Wang Cheng wanted to say something, Zhu Bangguo said angrily: "Go if I tell you to, and obey the order!"
Wang Cheng couldn't say anything else, so he could only agree and left the room with the letter.
Zhu Bangguo looked at Wang Cheng's leaving figure, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.
"snort!!"
