"Panlong City?" The Meishan County Magistrate looked at him with a vulgar expression, as if you had this idea in mind.
"Is this what I have in mind?" Wei Dongting said with a proud smile. "I plan to take root in Panlong City."
What a wonderful place, I am not afraid of evil spirits coming.
"Will the Daoting directly transfer you back?" Meishan County Magistrate asked.
"No. Qi Dongxuan wishes I didn't go back. If I go back, achieve results, and gain prestige, how will he deal with himself? Isn't he just thinking that it would be best for all his competitors to die. That way No one can delay him from becoming the successor to the Dao Sect." Wei Dongting smiled coldly.
Meishan County Magistrate: This guy is not too shameless. He thinks too highly of himself. Daozong has long since given up on you as a candidate for successor.
Wei Dongting saw the strange look in Meishan County Magistrate's eyes and immediately glanced at him angrily.
"The people next to me may not be as good as him, but when it comes to leading Taoist soldiers to fight, I can beat that kid by a thousand miles. If I hadn't been waiting for that guy to come, I would have led the Taoist soldiers to fight against those evil corpses. When it comes to a decisive battle, if we don't do well, they won't do it either.
I haven't taken action all this time, because I'm just waiting for that person to come. How can the evil corpse be his opponent? It just so happens that we can save fewer people. "
When the Meishan County Magistrate heard this, he immediately said angrily, "You might as well let them fight too. It's because you are too useless and the Taoist army is too slippery. I guess that person doesn't have a good impression of you at all. Even if you If you go to Panlong City in the future, that person won't pay much attention to you."
Wei Dongting smiled bitterly after hearing this, "They all have small thoughts in their hearts, and they are afraid of those descendants of evil gods. My orders are obeyed and violated one by one. If I force them to attack, it may eventually lead to a collapse of the Taoist army."
We're all dead before that one comes, so what's the point?
Now I have left three thousand warriors, these are the boys I am very optimistic about. Not to mention anything else, it would be better for me to start over when I go to Panlong City than to completely collapse the 100,000 Taoist army. "
Although his command is said to be one hundred thousand Taoist troops, in fact most of them are old sesame seeds and rotten millet. Many Taoist troops have some dark background left over from history. There are so many desperadoes, and there are so many who only care about themselves and not others.
Who makes it difficult for Dongli Pass to recruit troops?
He planned to sort out these thorns after they arrived, but before the training was completed, something big like this happened in Dongli Pass.
This transfers them to the inner territory again, hehe. It was fun to watch.
The Meishan County Magistrate sighed. He had also heard about the customs of the Dongliguan Taoist army. When Wei Dongting didn't go there, the Taoist army there was just like a bandit's den.
The commander of the Taoist army is the only one who is called the boss.
Wei Dongting's consideration is very reasonable. If it really collapses, Wei Dongting will be notorious in the future.
"After this war, plus the pensions for the war dead, we in Meishan County will have no money. You asked us to build the city, will you give us the money?" Meishan County Magistrate said in a dilemma.
"Well, okay. I'll give you and Hancang County the money to rebuild the city." Wei Dongting agreed without thinking.
The Meishan County Magistrate was shocked, "You...where did you get your money?"
"Dongli Pass also has a treasury and a weapons treasury." Wei Dongting said. Not to mention the secret trove of trophies he had collected over the years from suppressing bandits and cleaning up nearby small mixed-race tribes of miscellaneous brands.
In short, he really made a lot of money in Dongli Pass. This may be the only benefit of his guarding Dongli Pass.
Make money freely.
"Wait a minute, can you privately take away the treasury and military equipment of Dongli Pass?" Meishan County Magistrate asked tremblingly.
"Why not? Aren't I still guarding it now? Now that Dongli Pass has been moved to your place, it will naturally be necessary to pay you for the reconstruction and comfort of the people. This belongs to the treasury allocation." Wei Dongting said with a smile.
"But……"
"But what? Who cares about this little money? The Taoist court is not short of it." Wei Dongting said.
The Meishan County Magistrate thought: That makes sense.
"Report, Tonggu County was attacked by an army of evil corpses, and knights from the Dao Army came to ask for help." A sergeant reported outside the big tent.
"Tell him that I have no more troops. The rescue in Meishan County has been completed. The army of 100,000 people has been ordered to rush to the inner territory. Now the person in charge of the 100,000 Taoist army is Lieutenant General Huo. You ask them to find Lieutenant General Huo. Huo If the lieutenants are willing to send troops, they will send troops. We don't care."
"Yes." The sergeant immediately led the people away.
"Tonggu County doesn't seem to be a county under your command. Why did they let the Taoist army come to ask for help and report?" Meishan County Magistrate asked in shock.
"When you were besieged here, I was worried that it would be difficult to get help to get you out, so I asked for people and soldiers to come to the rescue. But only three nearby counties sent troops. Only Zhao Sui, the magistrate of Hancang County, actually fought against the evil corpse.
They didn't come when we asked for help. Why should I care if they ask for help this time? "Wei Dongting said.
"But there are also many people in Tonggu County?" Meishan County Magistrate asked.
"The problem is that I have handed over the military power now. Do you think Vice General Huo will be happy if I forcefully command others? They won't listen to me. Besides, there are also a hundred thousand troops at Heliguan over there." Wei Dongting said.
The Meishan County Magistrate sighed.
No one can control anyone at this time. Let's all find our own way.
"I'll go back and make arrangements for city repairs first," said the magistrate of Meishan County.
"Well, the various resources and spiritual stones you need will also migrate here with the people. For the other 300,000 people, you can give priority to the young and strong. After all, you have suffered too much loss this time. The remaining old and weak will make friends. To Hancang County." Wei Dongting also gave the information to the Meishan County Magistrate.
The corners of Meishan County Magistrate's lips curled up.
If Zhao Sui found out, he would definitely cry.
The visitor from Tonggu County was directly escorted out by Deputy General Huo.
Old Huo Xin said: Are you kidding? It's not like he hasn't seen how powerful the evil god descendants are.
He saw that scary big black skull for real. If there was no divine descendant fighting, he might not be able to even run away.
Why go to Tonggu? He wants to lead his troops back to the inner territory.
Lao Huo immediately came to Wei Dongting again, "We will lead the troops and leave tomorrow."
"Leaving now?" Wei Dongting's eyes were surprised, "But didn't we agree that when the armament warehouse arrives, you will take the military supplies before leaving?"
"No waiting. If we wait any longer, we still don't know who will ask for help. How can we defeat the army of evil corpses? We should go to the inner border quickly, where there are masters from the Taoist court. We will be much safer." Huo Bie looked at Wei Dongting thoughtfully.
Xin said that this boy can do it, even though he offended the high-level officials of the Taoist court, and also offended Qi Dongxuan, who is now at the peak of his power.
But he hugged the god's lap again.
Why stay in Dongliguan? People can play dead chess and survive.
"Okay, just watch. I'll ask the magistrate of Meishan County to send you another batch of grain. There won't be anything else. You also know that Meishan County is not rich now. After this war, they almost depleted their family fortune. .”
Vice Admiral Huo nodded. He knew it. As long as you have food to take back, that's fine.
What Lieutenant General Huo didn't expect was that he would soon return to the inner territory as soon as he heard.
Of his 100,000-strong army, 30,000 to 40,000 people refused to leave.
Without exception, these people were originally the defenders of Dongli Pass. They live in the same household, and their family and relatives are all here. Where can they go? The inner frontier is other people’s inner frontier. It's not their inner territory.
This made Deputy General Huo very angry.
He was so aggressive that he insisted on killing several thornheads.
Wei Dongting heard about this and rushed over. He grabbed his hand that was about to behead someone, and then dragged him alive into the big tent.
"You are crazy. If you really kill someone, it will make everyone bury their hatred in their hearts. What if you get halfway and they mutiny collectively. Think about it, can you still go back alive? These are not a few people, This is tens of thousands of people. How many people do you have under your command?"
"But... is it possible?" Vice General Huo was shocked.
"How is it impossible? Have you forgotten where Dongli Pass is? This is the frontier, not the inner border. The men are not soft peasants, but real outlaws. In Dongli Pass, there is a mixture of fish and dragons. An eight-year-old child may have several lives on his hands.
The four or five-year-old children here practice courage training by practicing how to chop off the heads of bandits with a hatchet.
You usually don't even go to the barracks, so you don't understand the situation below. "
Vice General Huo's face turned pale after hearing this.
"You can't take them away like this, otherwise, I'm really worried that you won't be able to go back. Even though you seem to be quite obedient with the other Taoist troops. But there is no danger to their life or death. Once a large-scale mutiny occurs. Do you think they will try their best to save you?
I miss you too much. They would like you to be cut down, so as to delay the mutinous sergeants from pursuing them. "
"No...it can't be right?" Vice General Huo almost cried when he heard this.
"Why not?" Wei Dongting said angrily.
"But, there are thirty to forty thousand people here, so we can't keep them all." Deputy General Huo said.
"You are stupid, but you are really stupid. Just tell them how they are willing to return to the inner territory with you. Now the Taoist court is short of soldiers, but it has accumulated a lot of wealth. So as long as they are willing to work hard as soldiers, they will definitely Three or four times more of their original salary will be given to them. The Taoist court will also open up many precious cultivation resources, which they can exchange for military merit.
Promise them huge profits to see if they leave.
To be honest, how many of the 30 to 40 thousand people still have close relatives in Dongliguan? There are really close relatives who can't let go, and many of them don't want to be soldiers.
They just don't want to go with you for nothing. To put it bluntly, they just need money. "
Lieutenant General Huo's expression changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth.
A bunch of immoral things.
"If you don't give them money, even if you are Daozong, you won't be able to persuade them. You first try to find a way to take them back. When you really return to the inner border, you can do whatever you want?" Wei Dongting persuaded him.
Vice Admiral Huo thought for a while and said gratefully to Wei Dongting, "I can't thank you enough for your kindness. If there is a chance in the future, I will also help you with activities and let you return to the inner territory."
Wei Dongting rolled his eyes directly.
"You know clearly that Qi Dongxuan and I don't want to deal with each other, so why do you go back? You'll be angry, I'll be fine here."
