The newly established Shenwu Army Camp.
In the Chinese army tent, a woman was looking through a torn book - "Encyclopedia of Military Training". From the title, you should know that the author is Yang Qingyuan.
It was none other than the Grand Commander-in-Chief of the Longwu Army, the Left Commander-in-Chief of the Sixth Army Commandery, and the Pingyang Marquis Cao Xueyang.
After Emperor Linde ascended the throne, Yang Qingyuan withdrew from the stage of the power center of the Zhou Dynasty due to some reasons.
But the military power, political power, and prestige in his hands need someone to inherit him.
Wang Hua, Li Xunhuan, and Di Zhiyuan took over the power of the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple respectively, becoming the strongest pillars of the court.
And Yang Qingyuan's prestige in the military, and even more so in the court, naturally needs someone to take over.
The prestige of Yang Qingyuan and Yu Yanyi does not only come from their achievements.
More importantly, the two had worked together to reform the treatment of the Sixth Army of the Emperor.
First, a special military salary account was set up in the Tiandi Bank, which was jointly managed by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Sixth Army Governor's Office. The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Royal Family of the Great Zhou Dynasty were responsible for supervision.
It ensures the military pay of the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Army of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and at the same time greatly increases the salary of the middle-level generals, so that it can be distributed to the officers and soldiers truthfully, and the behavior of drinking soldiers' blood and eating empty pay can be put to an end.
However, the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigated and dealt with 79 cases of bloodshed and empty pay among the Sixth Army within three years, which greatly gained the military morale of middle- and lower-level officers.
In addition, Yang Qingyuan also improved the status of sergeants. Previously, although the officers and soldiers of Dazhou were not low, they were definitely not high. Yang Qingyuan proposed the concept of honor.
A Martyrs' Shrine was established, and all soldiers who died fighting for the country could enter it. The incense was burned continuously. If there was an ancestral hall in the clan, the imperial court would escort the memorial tablets into the ancestral hall.
Anyone in the family who is serving in the military will be exempted from taxes and will not have to perform corvee service. They will not bow to officials below the seventh rank!
At the same time, the imperial court also "received death" for the dead soldiers. Not only did they give the deceased a generous burial, but the deceased who had no heirs could enter the Martyrs' Shrine. They also paid for their memorial every year to show their respect and compassion for those who sacrificed their lives for the imperial court. .
Increase the amount of burial benefits for each sergeant. Originally, the imperial court's burial method was "for a soldier who died unfortunately, officials collected the coffin in a quilt and transferred it to his home."
The coffin cost about three taels of silver, and the quilt cost about five taels.
After Yang Qingyuan's reform, the imperial court would posthumously award seals, ribbons, posthumous titles, sacrifices, posthumous titles, grave land, embroidery, clothing, and burial utensils to sergeants based on their status and military exploits during their lifetime.
At the same time, his children received preferential treatment from the court, were given monthly money and food, and the court funded the construction of private schools for their education.
The Luze Garden was also built, which means "the sky is bright with virtue and the leakage spring is below." It is dedicated to burying soldiers who died in battles who could not be identified.
Set up a residential nursing home, Anjifang.
Nursing homes were used to place injured sergeants who had no one to support them. These people basically lost their ability to work and were supported by the court.
Anjifang is a special workshop. Almost all the people here are retired sergeants, some are not injured, and some are slightly disabled.
As long as retired soldiers are willing, they can come to Anjifang to work.
As soon as such a policy came out, Yang Qingyuan and Yu Yanyi could be said to have won the military morale of the middle and lower class soldiers.
After Yu Yanyi was unjustly killed, this trust and prestige originally transferred to Yang Qingyuan.
After Yang Qingyuan retired, Cao Xueyang took over Yang Qingyuan's legacy in the army and became the youngest person in charge of the Sixth Army.
The key is that no one has any objections yet!
Cao Xueyang's own record is very hardcore, and his record of killing three kings is unmatched to this day.
In addition, the relationship between Cao Xueyang and Yang Qingyuan was well known in Jinyang Army and Tiance Army, which made her position more stable.
As a result, Cao Xueyang became the most trusted general of Emperor Linde. His Longwu Army was also the closest to the divine capital besides the Yulin Army. It was stationed in Bingzhou and Jizhou to train troops and defend against the ambitious King Zhao.
"Captain! It's time for you to rest!"
A woman entered the tent carrying a basin of water. It was Cao Xueyang's personal guard, Cao Ying.
Because of the existence of martial arts, women's status is actually higher.
The original physical strength advantage of men can be eliminated by practicing martial arts. Cao Xueyang established a female guard when he was in the Tiance Army.
Now that she has taken over as the Commander-in-Chief of the Longwu Army, she has naturally transferred this female guard as her personal guard.
"Xiaoying, put the water over there! I'll rest after reading this chapter!" Cao Xueyang replied casually, without looking away from the book.
Seeing this, Cao Ying scolded Yang Qingyuan, "Yang Hou really left you alone in the court and went to Wudang Mountain to live happily. You two can't see each other more than a few times a year, so this is the only one left." This is a shabby book, you almost tore it apart!"
Hearing this, Cao Xueyang put down the book and couldn't help but knock Cao Ying's head gently.
"You girl, you talk a lot. Brother Yang naturally has his own difficulties, so he acted like this. If he didn't retreat bravely from the rapids, how could the DPRK be so stable!"
Cao Ying touched the little head that was hit and said, "Captain, please stop hitting me on the head. The more you hit me, the stupider I will become!"
Most of these female guards were the orphans or widows of soldiers who died in the battle of Tiance Army.
Originally, Cao Xueyang just wanted to teach them some self-defense martial arts, but later, as more and more people came, they formed Cao Xueyang's female guard.
These female guards were the most loyal to Cao Xueyang and couldn't help but complain on Cao Xueyang's behalf.
Just when Cao Xueyang was about to wash up and rest, suddenly the candle in front of the desk flickered.
The towel in Cao Xueyang's hand stagnated slightly, then he wiped his hands and stood up slowly.
"Your Excellency is not visiting the army as a guest late at night!"
Turning around slowly, a man wearing black clothes and a mask came into Cao Xueyang's eyes.
It seems that the mysterious people in Dazhou like to dress however they like. Without a mask, it seems that they are not mysterious enough.
"Sweep the red tassel to build a slave. The north is cheering.
Take a look at his Nian Lin Pavilion. Dan Qing first paints pictures of beauties. "
A familiar poem came out of his mouth, "I originally thought it was just Yang Qingyuan's exaggerated praise, but now I see it and realize that General Cao is completely worthy of this poem."
The man in black's voice was a little hoarse, but he didn't sound like a good person.
"Coming here late at night, hiding your head and showing your tail, is definitely not a good thing."
Murderous intent was already rising in Cao Xueyang's eyes. The decisiveness of a general in command was far beyond what people in the world could imagine.
The man in black seemed to have noticed Cao Xueyang's murderous intention, and suddenly struck out with a palm. He didn't know whether he really wanted to take action or wanted to test Cao Xueyang's strength.
Cao Xueyang's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. When this person suddenly appeared in the Chinese army's tent, she knew that this person's martial arts was definitely not weak.
Those who can sneak into a large army silently without being discovered have martial arts skills that are by no means ordinary.
But the power of this casual palm was greater than Cao Xueyang imagined.
Cao Xueyang pointed to the spear, stood still on his feet, and his spine turned into a dragon of energy and blood, from which a steady stream of true energy came out.
A shot was fired, and there seemed to be gun shadows all over the sky, turning into a nine-sky divine phoenix. It was unclear which shot was real and which shot was fake.
Or maybe every shot is real!
The Hundred Birds Chaohuang Spear Technique, a unique skill of the former Holy General Ji Han Long Yin, was brought to the extreme by Cao Xueyang.
The originally seemingly strong palm force was broken by Qi Jun's spear light, which continued to move and hit the man in black.
However, when the originally powerful spear light came within ten feet of the man in black, it was resisted by the strong internal force pouring out from the man in black, making it difficult to break through his defense.
Master!
Just from this one fight, Cao Xueyang could conclude that this person's martial arts far exceeded his own.
However, this is in the Shenwu Army camp.
The man in black also noticed this.
"I didn't expect that General Cao was not only a god in his military skills, he was also so good in martial arts. I wonder when he entered the realm of Dongxuan?!"
Cao Xueyang's talent was originally among the top, and it was extremely rare for her to be able to practice Tiancejun's martial arts to such an extent as a woman.
Yang Qingyuan obtained the Heaven and Earth Crossing Yin Yang Great Compassion Fu from Gong Ziyu and improved it, then taught it to Cao Xueyang.
With the master of this miraculous skill, Cao Xueyang finally entered the realm of Dongxuan at the beginning of Linde's third year.
In order to verify his conjecture, the man in black exploded with powerful true energy again and blasted towards Cao Xueyang.
Cao Xueyang immediately formed a wall of true energy with the great yin and yang gift of the emperor and the earth and the great reincarnation seal of the earth shaking.
The Heaven-Shocking and Earth-shaking Great Reincarnation Seal is one of the peerless martial arts recorded in the Heaven and Earth Conquest of Yin and Yang Great Compassion. It can use the power of heaven and earth for one's own use. It can use force to exert force, release force and rebound, absorb external force, and transfer damage. Be invincible first.
Naturally, Cao Xueyang has not reached the highest level of training, but the zhenyuan used to neutralize the man in black is still enough.
After this move, the man in black was sure that he was suppressed by the military in this military camp, and even the movement of the vitality of heaven and earth was blocked.
In addition to controlling the vitality of heaven and earth, Fa Tian Xian Di can also borrow the power of heaven and earth.
But the main camp in this army is completely different. Since ancient times, famous generals have arrayed themselves in an orderly manner.
Cao Xueyang's camp takes the meaning of the five elements and is self-contained, and the military strength is complete.
The men in black will be suppressed by the military power in this military camp. Not only will the control of the vitality of heaven and earth be blocked, but it will also be difficult to borrow the power of heaven and earth.
And Cao Xueyang received the bonus of military strength and doubled his combat power. Even the top masters in the ordinary Dongxuan realm may not be able to fire the shot just now.
The military power's blessing to the warriors is no less than the power of heaven and earth.
King Kaiping, one of the four founding kings, dared to say, "Give me a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and I can dominate the world." He thought that not only was he a top expert in the Dongxuan Realm, but he also had a perfect grasp of the military situation. the point.
With the blessing of a hundred thousand troops, even Fa Tian Xiang Di Realm would be hard-pressed to compete with them in front of the formation.
He didn't know whether Cao Xueyang's control over the military power was better than that of King Kaiping's man in black, but he knew that it would not be easy for him to kill Cao Xueyang.
"Marquis Cao misunderstood, I have no ill intentions!" Seeing that Cao Xueyang still wanted to attack, the man in black waved his hands to express his position, and even changed his title to "Marquis Cao".
"I'm here to send a message to Cao Hou!"
This person's words stopped Cao Xueyang's offensive, but the true energy in his body was still running rapidly, and he could attack with all his strength at any time.
She will not let her guard down just because of a word. This is the basic quality of a general.
"explain!"
Seeing that Cao Xueyang still had this attitude, the man in black couldn't help but sigh, "I have good intentions, but Cao Hou's attitude is really chilling!"
"I'm counting to three. If you don't tell me, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today!" Cao Xueyang's eyes were so indifferent that it made people's hearts palpitate.
When the man in black saw this, he stopped making jokes and said, "The King of Zhao wants to rebel!"
Before Cao Xueyang responded, Cao Ying on the side seemed to have heard a joke and suddenly laughed, "I said, before you give the information, can you ask carefully, who in the army doesn't know about King Zhao's rebellion? ! Why does it seem to be such a big secret in your mouth!"
Cao Ying's face was full of baby fat, and her voice was gentle and soft. Even if it was sarcastic, it wouldn't make people feel bad after hearing it.
Different from Cao Ying's smile, Cao Xueyang's expression changed slightly, but there were already many thoughts in his heart.
"You mean, King Zhao will raise troops soon?!"
When the man in black didn't answer, he stared at Cao Xueyang, with a hint of joking in his eyes.
"If you don't make it clear, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the Longwu Army camp today!" The murderous aura in Cao Xueyang suddenly broke out.
The murderous aura of a battlefield veteran who was killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood was not comparable to that of ordinary killers and thieves.
"Haha, that's all I've said. The rest is up to Cao Hou to investigate on his own! As for keeping me, Cao Hou thinks too highly of himself! We'll see you later!"
Before the man finished speaking, he turned into a black shadow and rushed out of the Chinese army's tent.
There was a noise outside immediately.
"There's an assassin!"
Then, the warning sound of the Ming Gong sounded, and Cao Xueyang's guards and the soldiers on duty tonight immediately surrounded the direction of the Ming Gong.
It's just that this black figure is so flexible that ordinary soldiers can't stop him. Even the crossbow arrows can be easily avoided by this man. In the end, he can only watch this man rise up from the ground, soar up like a roc, and flee. Towards the distance.
It wasn't until thirty miles away from the military camp that the man in black stopped.
"This Cao Xueyang is more difficult to deal with than I thought, but judging from her formation, she is indeed a rare general in the world. It will not be easy for King Zhao to deal with her!"
The man in black is not without the ability to kill Cao Xueyang. If he had been seriously injured just now, even in the midst of thousands of troops, he would have been 60% sure.
But the purpose of his coming was not to kill Cao Xueyang, but to pass this information to Cao Xueyang, and by the way, weigh the weight of the Commander-in-Chief of the Longwu Army.
The result was unexpected. At first, I thought she was a womanizer who could only control an army by clinging to Yang Qingyuan. However, after meeting, I realized that the mandarin duck had a military talisman in his sleeve, so why did he need the general to be his husband? !
Cao Xueyang's ability to command troops should be no less than that of famous generals on the battlefield.
Such a talent is worthy of being the opponent of King Zhao.
It would be too boring if the military peace could not clear the emperor's side and it ended in a few days!
To give King Zhao hope, you must also set up several decent opponents for him.
For the men in black, of course, the longer this war lasts, the better, and the more brutal it is, the better.
"Long Wujun's affairs are finished, it's time to go to the Tiance Army camp to have a look!"
The figure of the man in black disappeared and shot towards the north.
