"Shiliemen, don't worry!"
Kuo Chu patted his son Shi Liemen's shoulder and said, "The reason why I agreed to Chahan Timur's march to Cangyun Pass is of course my reason!"
"Father, Chahan Timur is the number one general under Emperor Qian. You can't believe his words!"
When Shiliemen heard Chahan Timur's name, he became even more angry.
"Father, have you forgotten that Chahan Timur is Emperor Qian's biggest lackey?! If Chahan Timur hadn't defended Emperor Qian to the death, we would have regained the throne long ago!"
Looking at his furious son, Kuo Chu shook his head, he was still too young!
"You know that Emperor Qian was suspicious, but do you know why Chahan Timur could always hold on to military power?"
Before Shi Liemen could answer, Kuo Chu said, "It's because Emperor Qian needs Chahan Timur to suppress the four great khanates! Only he can suppress the four great khanates!"
"What does Father Khan mean?!" Shi Liemen didn't understand what his father meant.
"If the four great khanates cease to exist, or surrender to Emperor Qian, then Chahan Timur will lose his greatest value. There is a saying in the Zhou Dynasty that when the birds of prey are gone, a good bow is hidden, and a cunning rabbit dies. , the lackey cooks!”
"Chahan wants to use us to keep the power in his hands?!" Shiliemen understood somewhat.
"More than that, he wants to go one step further! If the four major khanates become stronger, then Emperor Qian will be more wary of us, and the status of Chahan Timur will be more important! Because now Emperor Qian can only rely on"
Kuo Chu looked at Qian Jing on the map, his eyes filled with a fascinating light!
"Chahan Timur wants to be regent! Be my regent! And we are the weight for him to become regent!"
The Lost Liemen was speechless for a moment, wondering how many twists and turns there are in politics.
"Then are we going to become the sword in Chahan's hand?!"
"Shiliemen, although we have become the sword in his hand, the sword is not for nothing. Cangyunguan is the reward for Chahan letting me be the sword!"
…
While Kuo Chu and his son were discussing, Yang Guo had already approached the camp of Ogedai Khanate with two capable soldiers.
In order to appear authentic, they even selected dozens of sheep from a flock plundered by a small tribe and dressed them up as shepherds.
Perhaps due to luck, Yang Guo and the others met a group of patrolling rangers on the road.
"Who are you?! Why do you come here to graze?"
It is normal for grassland herdsmen to appear wherever they go, and generally large armies will choose places with abundant water and grass to camp, which happens to be a good place for grazing.
So after seeing Yang Guo and the others, the ranger leader did not doubt their identities.
"We are from the Lanqin tribe! When we were grazing, we accidentally strayed too far away from the tribe and were temporarily separated from the tribe! We entered here by mistake! I'm really sorry!"
The ranger nodded and believed the words of the three men, but when he saw the dozens of fat sheep driven by the three men, he became suspicious.
"Listen up, you three! Kuo Chuhan of the Ogedai Khanate is recruiting soldiers now. I see that the three of you are strong and strong, and you are good at riding and shooting at a glance. I am recruiting the three of you as soldiers in accordance with the order of the big man!"
He was really dozing off, so someone brought him a pillow. Yang Guo was worried about how to sneak into the camp of the Ogedai Khanate army, and now someone wanted to take him in!
"Military lords, this..."
Not everyone in Dagan likes war. Yang Guo vividly interprets the expressions and reactions of an ordinary herdsman.
"What?! Do you have any objections?!"
"But I belong to the Daqian Kingdom, so I shouldn't join the Khanate!"
The more Yang Guo resisted, the more the rangers believed in his identity.
"What does not belong to the Khanate? Aren't we, the Ogedai Khanate, the ministers of the Great Khan?! The Great Khan is the co-owner of the grassland and the sky. Even we, the Great Khan, are loyal to the Great Khan, so you are loyal to the Khanate. Kuo sweating means being loyal to the Great Khan."
"What about our sheep!?"
"Confiscate everything! Use it as military rations!"
The Rangers saw clearly that any conscription was just an excuse. In fact, it was just for the dozens of fat sheep that Yang Guo and the others were driving away!
Then the rangers drove the three Yang Guo people and a group of sheep back to the tent without any explanation.
Of course, the sheep were divided up by the rangers, and the three of Yang Guo also successfully blended into the military camp of the Ogedai Khanate, and the three of them also became the rangers of the Ogedai Khanate.
At night, Yang Guo sneaked into other camps.
The military camps of the Great Zhou Dynasty were neat and orderly, with strict military laws. Even resting at night had its own rules. The army under Liang Wang Chahan Timur was not far behind, and was trained with the goal of professional soldiers.
But the 200,000 troops of the Wo Kuotai Khanate are different!
Among them, except for the 50,000 elite soldiers under Kuo's command, most of them were recruited temporarily and their military discipline was loose.
Although he is brave in war, he doesn't have so many rules in peacetime.
This also gave Yang Guo a chance.
At the end of the night, Yang Guo relied on his clever character and salt to clear the way, and bribed many soldiers of the Ogedai Khanate.
You must know that this salt is no ordinary thing on the grassland. It is one of the hard currencies that can be used for trading.
In particular, the refined salt Yang Guo carried was not only small in particle size, snow-white in color, but also had no bitter taste.
In a tent, everyone was drinking and eating sheep.
"Feng Gongyang, where did you get this salt!?"
Holding the small bag of salt in his hand, the captain of the Ranger Scouts asked curiously.
Mao Gongyang is the pseudonym of Yang Guo, which in turn is Yang Maogong!
"This is when I was nomadic and saved a group of merchants from Zhou from a pack of wolves! In order to thank me, they gave me some salt and iron tools."
The captain nodded with deep understanding, pretending to be an expert and said, "Only the Kingdom of Zhou can buy refined salt of this quality! Thanks to His Highness, I have tasted this delicious salt before!"
When Yang Guo heard this, he knew that the captain was bragging!
Not everyone in Dazhou can eat such fine salt, let alone Daqian.
This is the refined salt that Yang Qingyuan purified when he was tinkering with chemistry in his spare time. As we all know, Yang Qingyuan is a liberal arts student, so he can do some small experiments on the purification of table salt.
Then Yang Qingyuan handed over the production methods to Xiaojiu and Shisan, and participated in Huangshang's salt business by taking technical shares.
This kind of fine and non-astringent snowflake salt is expensive, the output is extremely low, and the supply exceeds demand. This bag of Yang Guo's was brought to the army by someone from Xiaojiu to Cao Xueyang and his junior brother.
Not to mention the captain, even Emperor Qian may not have the opportunity to taste this fine snowflake salt.
But Yang Guo didn't expose him. Now at the wine table, eating meat and drinking wine, it was a good opportunity to find out the news.
"That is, the Lord Commander of Thousands is, after all, the confidant of His Highness the Lieutenant Sect. Naturally, he is different from ordinary people! With your wisdom, proficiency in bow and horse, and extraordinary courage, in the future, let alone a Captain of Ten Thousands! Even if he is to be a propaganda envoy , Zhenfu Envoy, that's no big deal! Now it's just a dragon trapped in the shallows, dormant and waiting!"
Yang Guo's level of flattery is much higher than this group of uneducated bosses! He praises people all the time! The commander was so excited when he heard it!
Talent! That's what's missing in the Ranger Camp.
The commander immediately promoted Yang Guo to centurion, commanding one hundred new rangers!
As soon as he drank too much, the captain couldn't control his mouth and started talking nonsense!
"Risk together, although I am just a captain now, this expedition is a good opportunity! As long as we take Cangyun Pass, we can go straight to the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty! Not to mention these salts, even if they are Beauties, gold, silver, silk, porcelain, and as much as you want!"
"You follow me! Hiccup! It must be popular and spicy!"
The captain also burped!
Yang Guo listened to the commander's words and understood in his heart. He didn't expect that the goal of the Ogedai Khanate was really Cangyun Pass. How did they get the confidence?
Even if it is a sneak attack, it is almost impossible to break through the city wall of Cangyun Pass head-on.
Moreover, there is also the Xuanjia Cangyun Army stationed at Cangyun Pass, and the top master of the Cangyun Army, "Bloodhand Phoenix" Yan Wangqing, has entered the cave.
Yang Guo had a look of embarrassment on his face.
"But Master Qian Fu, I heard that Cangyun Pass of the Zhou people is the most powerful pass in the world, and the Zhou army inside is even more ferocious than the wolves. How can we break through it?!"
The commander patted Yang Guo on the shoulder, "Just tell me this here, don't mention it outside!"
Then the commander looked like he understood very well, "I understand your mood very well!"
Yang Guo: "..."
What do you understand? !
"If I were you! Hiccup! I would also be afraid of Cangyun Pass and Zhou Jun!" the captain said while hiccupping.
Yang Guo: "..."
What do you understand? !
Then Yang Guo looked at the centurions and bodyguards who were drinking together, and they all looked at him with pity on their faces.
I don’t know if they are co-authors? !
"Back then, King Zhongshan of the Great Zhou Dynasty led his army to conquer the north! It only took three days for the Lanqin tribe to face King Zhongshan's army, and the main force was almost wiped out! After that battle, the Lanqin tribe also weakened. Brother, how do you feel? , everyone can understand it!”
Yang Guo found that he was really lucky. He made up a tribe at random, and it turned out to be so suitable!
Could it be that he is one of the lucky ones in the Jianghu storybook? !
Then Yang Guo thought of Liu Wangshu and Zhuang Xiaomeng.
What a lucky person! People who have already reached the Cave Mystic Realm at the age of twenty are the ones with great luck. At best, they can only count themselves as having bad luck!
Although he was feeling complicated in his heart, Yang Guo did not stop talking, "Thank you Master Qianfu and everyone for your understanding! My grandfather died in that battle that year!"
Seeing Yang Guo's sadness, everyone comforted him, saying, after drinking, they are brothers!
The Ranger Battalion held a very important position in the army of the Ogedai Khanate.
Responsible for investigation, communication and even supervising the cooperation of various armies, it is an important force of the Ogedai Khanate!
Yang Guo took advantage of the drunkenness and asked a lot of information from their mouths.
It's a pity that after all, he is just a captain. No matter how important his position is, he can't change the official hierarchy. That's all he knows!
After collecting the information, Yang Guo felt relieved.
If Daqian only wanted to attack Cangyun Pass, then there would probably be no problem. He had already warned Lin Wuya, the leader of Cangyun Pass, before going deep into the grassland.
With the defensive Cangyun Pass, unless all the high-level officials join Da Gan and open the gate directly, with the military power of Da Gan, if they want to forcibly break through Cangyun Pass, there is no need to think about it within three months.
After Yang Guo felt at ease, he started drinking with the commander and the centurions.
Master Yang Guo was a drunkard, and Yang Guo's capacity for alcohol was average. He could only use his internal strength to force out the alcohol while drinking to prevent himself from getting drunk.
Finally, all the captains were drunk in the camp. After Yang Guo confirmed that everyone was unconscious, he took a wine bag and sneaked out of the camp.
He wanted to look around to see how prepared the army of the Ogedai Khanate was!
Now Yang Guo has joined the Ranger Battalion and was awarded the Centurion's Wooden Plaque. On the contrary, he can travel freely in the army.
Anyone who doubted his identity saw the wooden sign in his hand and let him go without further questioning.
All the troops thought it was the Rangers who were patrolling the battalions and did not stop them. After all, it was not war time, so everyone turned a blind eye.
Once the army moves to the front line, it will be completely different. The military regulations of Daqian during the war were even more stringent than those of Dazhou.
Yang Guo walked around the Daqian Army in a drunken state. He saw the baggage, cattle and sheep, but he could not find the most important thing in attacking Cangyun Pass-the siege equipment.
Not even the most basic ladder! Is it possible to fly up without a ladder? !
You must know that Daqian's cavalry was not good at attacking the city, not that the entire army was bad at attacking the city.
There is a kind of siege equipment in the Daqian army called "Huihui cannon". Although it is not as sophisticated as the mechanisms of Momen and Gongshujia, it is very powerful when attacking the city, and Daqian can sweep all the countries in the Western Region.
If we really want to attack Cangyun Pass, will the army not carry siege equipment? !
Now there are only two possibilities left!
1. What the commander just said was actually a way of deceiving the public by the senior officials of the Ogedai Khanate. Its true purpose is that Cangyun Pass is not its real destination. If there is no need to siege the city, naturally there will be no need for siege equipment. .
Second, the goal of the Wokuotai Khanate's army is Cangyun Pass, but they have a way to break through Cangyun Pass without using siege equipment...
Of the two guesses, Yang Guo is more inclined to the second!
If it is the first type, then who is the purpose of the Ogedai Khanate to deceive? ! If he hadn't been suspicious, he wouldn't have led his army here, so what's the point of being deceived.
But if it's the second type, things are not simple.
Is there any way to capture Cangyun Pass without using siege equipment? !
The strongest fortresses are often breached from within!
Back in the barracks, the remaining two Zhou soldiers were already waiting for him!
"How is Vice General Yang?! Have you found out any news!"
one of the sergeants asked softly.
Yang Guo took out a wooden sign from his arms, "I was a centurion, and I heard some news."
"..."
The two sergeants looked at each other.
Looking at the speed at which he was promoted, he had just joined the army and had already reached the level of a centurion.
"I found out that these are the soldiers and horses of the Ogedai Khanate, with about 200,000 people in charge! Their target should be Cangyun Pass!"
"Cangyun Pass?!"
Hearing this answer, the two sergeants were also very puzzled.
The defense of Cangyun Pass is known to all the world, so why do Dagan people have ideas about Cangyun Pass.
"Vice General Yang, what should we do now?!" The sergeant who spoke was named Wang Liang, who had served in the Tiance Army for five years.
"In this way, I will write a handwritten letter, and you will go out to patrol as a ranger camp tomorrow, and then pass the news on, so that the brothers outside will immediately take my handwritten letter to Cangyun Pass to meet General Lin Wuya! Let him be careful!"
"yes!"
-----------------------
Beiyue Hengshan, this is the last mountain among the Five Mountains!
Yang Qingyuan stayed on Mount Hengshan for nine full days, certainly not to understand the power of Mount Hengshan.
Yang Qingyuan had completed the sword technique on the second day based on the sword technique created by the Hengshan Mountain.
Hengshan's swordsmanship is rigorous, round and round, and dense. Mainly defensive, nine out of ten moves are defensive, and only one move takes advantage of the opportunity to make a surprise attack.
One move, "Colorful Clouds Send the Sunset", has already revealed the essence of Hengshan's swordsmanship.
The reason why Yang Qingyuan stayed on Mount Hengshan for so long was that he was integrating the swordsmanship of the Five Mountains together and wanted to create his own earth swordsmanship.
The Five Mountains are one of the main land lines of China, and the swordsmanship created with the Five Mountains as a shape must be extraordinary.
It combines the majesty of Mount Tai in the east, the danger of Mount Huashan in the west, the tranquility of Mount Heng in the north, the steepness of Mount Song in the middle, and the beauty of Mount Heng in the south.
Integrate the swordsmanship of the Five Mountains into one, dismantle and analyze it, and learn from each other's strengths to offset weaknesses.
Even with Daotong's help, it took Yang Qingyuan seven full days to basically complete this task.
The Five Mountains Divine Sword is complete, and all that’s left is to slowly carve out the details!
Because it took a long time to master swordsmanship, Yang Qingyuan asked Lin Xuemin to stay overnight in the Hengshan Sect alone.
He stayed on Mount Heng for nine days.
Yang Qingyuan's true energy moved and blew away the dust from his body. It was time to leave.
As his surroundings changed, he jumped from the top of Mount Hengshan. After refining the Qing Kung he learned into the "Stairway to Heaven", Yang Qingyuan's Qing Gong improved to a higher level. Facing the Eastern Cult Master who had mastered the "Sunflower Book", he was competing You can never fall behind when doing Qinggong!
Dongfang Bubai in "Sunflower Dacheng", her speed has exceeded the limit of the human body, and her ghostly appearance is not enough to describe her movement.
When Yang Qingyuan faced Dongfang Bubai, he was still able to suppress him, which is evident from his high level of lightness skills and fast movement.
As soon as Yang Qingyuan fell into the guest house of the Hengshan Sect with his physical skills, he felt that something was wrong!
"Who?! Get out of here!"
The intruder's qi machine was full of malice, and Yang Qingyuan was not polite to them. He shouted with real energy and attacked in the direction of the qi machine.
As soon as Yang Qingyuan finished speaking, six people walked out of the room.
Two Dongxuan and four Yuanhua.
"Who are you?! Where is Minmin?!"
Yang Qingyuan could feel that Lin Xuemin's energy was in the room. These six people obviously didn't want to take action against Lin Xuemin.
"Are you Yang Qingyuan, the young minister of Dali Temple?!"
The person who asked the question was wearing yellow clothes and had a long face. His skin was whiter than that of a girl, as smooth as jade and as transparent as snow. There was no trace of beard around his mouth. A pair of phoenix eyes are long and bright, giving people a sense of yin and yang beauty and evil.
Dong Xuan Realm, and he is not a weak player in Dong Xuan Realm!
"I heard he's Zhang Sanfeng's awesome junior brother!"
The person who spoke this time was a thin Toutuo, and his tone was full of anger and hatred for Zhang San, without any respect.
However, Yang Qingyuan was not surprised. When he was young, Senior Brother Xianyuan used a real sword to sweep away the demons, and all the demon sects had to kneel on the ground and behave like humans.
The Blood River Evil Sect was so full of demonic flames that it swept the world. Wasn't it destroyed by Lao Zhang? !
So it's normal for some people to dislike Lao Zhang. After all, Lao Zhang killed a lot of people back then.
Yang Qingyuan glared at the tutu. The tutu could only feel the sword intent in Yang Qingyuan's eyes, and he couldn't help but use his skills to protect his body.
"The slave family has heard for a long time that Mr. Yang is a handsome man. Only when I saw him today did he realize that there is no real man under his great reputation."
The one who spoke was the voluptuous woman on the side. A colorful ribbon was wrapped around her body, which made her even more lustful. In terms of appearance, she could be said to be a rare beauty.
Standing next to him was a white-haired young man, holding a xiao, acting intimately with the woman, but he didn't care that the woman was teasing Yang Qingyuan.
"Where is my apprentice?!"
With Zhan Lu in hand, Yang Qingyuan asked in a calm tone.
"Master is looking for me?!"
Lin Xuemin, dressed in red men's clothing, walked out of the room with a folding fan in her hand, looking very energetic.
"who are you?!"
Yang Qingyuan was suspicious. Lin Xuemin was obviously with these people, but he had clearly sent people to Lin Wuya, the guard of Cangyun Pass, to confirm that Lin Xuemin was indeed his daughter!
How can this be? !
Yang Qingyuan figured it out in an instant!
There is something wrong with Lin Wuya! Otherwise nothing makes sense!
"Are you from Dagan?! The princess of Prince Liang's Mansion?!"
Now it was Lin Xuemin's turn to look incredulous, "You actually know my identity?!"
Yang Qingyuan smiled bitterly, "I guessed it, but it's too late!"
Lin Wuya's previous confirmation completely misled Yang Qingyuan. Although he had doubted Lin Xuemin's identity, after receiving Lin Wuya's confirmation, Yang Qingyuan only said that he was paranoid.
I didn’t expect to fall for this little girl!
"That's right! I am Min Min Temuer, the daughter of King Chahan Timur of Liang! The big man gave me the title of 'Princess Shao Min', so you can also call me Zhao Min!"
"Zhao Min!"
Yang Qingyuan murmured, no wonder Zhou Zhiruo and her were always incompatible with each other. It turned out that they really were incompatible with each other! !
"So it's a lie to say that Nangong Mie held you hostage?!"
Nangong Mie is a master of Houjin, so it stands to reason that he would not collude with Daqian!
Lin Xuemin, no, it should be called Zhao Min, smiled slightly, but did not answer. Instead, she said to the master beside her.
"The tranquility of Mount Heng is a good place to bury the bones. Everyone, please leave my master here today!"
Yang Qingyuan found that he still underestimated this apprentice's character, "You want to kill your master?!"
Zhao Min disagreed, "Master, what you said is wrong. It was not the disciples who killed you, but the masters of Da Gan. After your death, the disciples will erect a monument and build a tomb for you here to repay the kindness of the master." !”
After Zhao Min finished speaking, the evil man in yellow clothes who spoke first at the beginning said, "Princess Princess, things are not that simple!"
"Um?!"
"With the strength of the six of us, we may not be able to defeat Master Yang!"
Zhao Min was shocked. She had already overestimated Yang Qingyuan's strength. She only became murderous after seeing the person who came to pick her up. She didn't expect to get this answer.
"But it's okay to give it a try!"
After finishing speaking, the man in yellow turned to look at Shouto Tuo, "Master, who comes first, or me?"
Shou Tou Tuo took a step forward and said, "I have a sworn hatred with that old thief Zhang Sanfeng. If I can't deal with the old one, how can I not deal with the younger one?! Kill his junior brother first and get some interest. When I complete my magic skills, I can do it again." Go find that old Taoist to settle the score!"
Yang Qingyuan sighed helplessly. Sure enough, bragging does not cost money, and he even asked Lao Zhang to settle the score. With the skill that Thin Touduo has shown now, even Ziyang may not be able to beat him!
"Before we start, why don't you guys introduce yourselves?!"
The man in yellow smiled, "But, Protector Hua, it's up to you to introduce me! Master Yang will probably feel better if the beauty speaks!"
Protector Hua smiled evilly, "Thank you very much. What the slave family likes most is a handsome young man like Mr. Yang!"
Although Yang Qingyuan's appearance is slightly inferior to that of Li Xunhuan and Lao Zhang, he can still be said to be a beautiful tree in the wind.
Especially the combination of Taoist breath and Confucian bookishness made Yang Qingyuan reach a higher level, and Hua Hufa couldn't help but tighten her jade legs that were slightly wet.
"Then let's start with these two!"
Protector Hua pointed at the arrogant Thin Touduo and said, "This is the head of the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions!"
Yang Qingyuan finally understood why this guy hated Lao Zhang so much!
After Huo Gong Tutuo, the first sect leader of the Western Region Vajra Sect, achieved great success and entered the realm of Dharma and Heaven, he once set foot in the Central Plains and called himself "Fighting Buddha". He wanted to challenge the world and prove that the Western Region Vajra Sect was the authentic Buddhist sect in the world.
Logically speaking, he should take action against the Shaolin Temple or the Jing Nian Zen Sect. After all, these two schools have extremely high prestige among Buddhists and can be called holy places.
No matter how bad it is, it should be Cihang Jingzhai, which is also a famous Buddhist sect.
But Huo Gong Tutuo didn't want to. He wanted to build up momentum and break through the battle, so he chose Zhang Junbao, a Buddhist who had just become famous at that time but was not yet respected as the best in the world, to challenge the Taoist master. It proves that he is an authentic Buddhist, and he has a clear mind!
Then, there is no more!
Huo Gong Tutuo was defeated and fled back to the Western Regions, never setting foot in the Central Plains again in his life.
Hua Hufa then turned his attention to the man in yellow, "This is Mr. Li Chimei, the "shemale" who is the first of the eight masters under my throne!"
Hearing Li Chimei's name, Yang Qingyuan couldn't hold himself any longer.
Li Chimei is known as a "shemale", which of course does not mean what everyone understands, but when Yang Qingyuan hears this name, he can't help but think of people from a small southeastern country in Blue Star China, and he can't control his thoughts at all.
Seeing Yang Qingyuan with a different look on his face, Li Chimei didn't expect that his reputation would actually cause Yang Qingyuan's expression to change, but given his state of mind, he felt slightly proud.
"These two..."
Hua Hufa was about to continue the introduction when he was interrupted by Yang Qingyuan!
"This one, one holds a knife and the other holds a sword. They should be the top ten evil gods of the Magician Palace, Mietian and Jedi! What a pity! His martial arts is not high, but his name is very famous! Two Yuan Hua realm dare to claim to destroy the heaven and the earth, it makes people laugh just thinking about it!"
"You!" Mie Tian and Jedi were mocked by Yang Qingyuan and couldn't help but want to take action, but were stopped by Li Chimei.
"As for you, girl, you should be the protector of the Magician's Palace, 'Hongyan' Hua Jieyu! That white-haired one is 'White-haired' Liu Yaozhi?!"
Hua Jieyu covered her lips and smiled, "I didn't expect that the humble name of the slave family would be able to enter Master Yang's ears. How honored is it?!"
Facing the six masters from Daqian, Yang Qingyuan didn't care at all.
"The introduction is over! Let's take action!"
"Keng!"
Zhan Lu unsheathes his sword, and his sword power gradually rises!
