Boom boom boom, the sound of war drums was loud, and the entire expedition camp was filled with the shouts of soldiers practicing. At this time, at the gate, Qin Ge stood in armor, surrounded by Tian Feng, Kinderman and others. People gathered in front of the camp gate, including Liu Yu, Cui Yu and other Jizhou nobles.
Qin Ge was greeting him personally at the gate and chatting with everyone. Of course, most of the exchanges were about war. There were also some evolvers who came uninvited and were greeted by Jinmaohu. Among them were many familiar faces, including the Moon God and the Wolf Totem. , Xiaoya, Iron-Blooded Rose, Little Leo and many other acquaintances, while the major aristocratic families sent some representatives who were all strangers. It seemed that they were still grudged after being rejected by Qin Ge last time.
Qin Ge was too lazy to talk to him. At this time, due to the huge difference in status between evolvers and aborigines, Qin Ge was exchanging pleasantries with Liu Yu and other nobles, thus naturally snubbing many influential figures among the evolvers. This would undoubtedly bring trouble to himself, but Qin Ge Ge Zi thought he was recruiting someone with a bad physique, so he ignored him.
At this time, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and Gongsun Zan came on horseback with more than ten cavalrymen including Gongsun Du and Gongsun Yue. Gongsun Zan jumped off his horse from a distance, and his face was glowing red.
During these days, under the coordination of Qin Ge, many donations and materials from Jizhou celebrities and nobles were delivered to Gongsun Zan, which solved the logistical support problem.
Since Gongsun Zan led the White Horse Yi Cong to Jizhou, Gongsun Zan's grandma did not care for his uncle and the army had no food. Gongsun Zan returned to his old business and looted the local wealthy households in Jizhou. This caused the relationship with the local nobles in Jizhou to drop to the lowest level. freezing point.
The Jizhou nobles even mobilized Euphorbia soldiers to surround the military camp of Baima Yicong. The two sides almost fought. Fortunately, Qin Ge returned and acted as a peacemaker, so the two sides did not fight. After getting help from celebrities and nobles in Jizhou to supply supplies to Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan now lives a very comfortable life. As the old saying goes, "canned meat is provided for every meal, and wine is drunk for every meal." Not to mention how comfortable he is.
However, Gongsun Zan was such a pissed-off person that he held his head high and did not take these high-ranking people into consideration at all. In his heart, if he hadn't betrayed Qin Ge's face, he would have killed these fat worms in one pot!
The Jizhou nobles were furious when they saw Gongsun Zan eating and drinking his own food and still being so arrogant and domineering. Gongsun Zan was a famous ranger in Youzhou, and most of the white-horse followers he recruited were desperadoes and outlaws. Heroes of the world, these people never buy property, but they are always willing to spend a lot of money and spend a lot of money. This is the true nature of a hero.
And where did their money come from? Naturally, they collected protection fees from wealthy noble families. They were a group of blood-sucking parasites lying on the noble noble families. The nobles hated them deeply, but they couldn't afford to offend them because the heroes mostly lived alone. , but they adhere to the way of righteousness, and the knights of the Han Dynasty are very popular nowadays. Figures like Gongsun Zan can raise their arms and countless knights follow them. In addition, the knights are generally martial arts masters, and no one can offend the wealthy nobles.
However, Gongsun Zan is not an arrogant and reckless man. The Gongsun family has guarded Youzhou for the Han Dynasty for generations, and many famous generals have emerged in the family. However, Youzhou is bitterly cold and the foreign tribes are ferocious. The Gongsun family has developed the habit of training Baimayi from rangers. However, because of joining Baimayi Most of the followers are heroes. They drink from large bowls, eat large pieces of meat, and share gold and silver. It is the glory of White Horse Yicon. It is this high military expenditure and high welfare that attracts a large number of heroes from all over the world to join White Horse Yicon. This is also the secret of Baima Yicong’s everlasting prosperity!
However, to organize such a large army requires a large amount of money and funds, and the rewards from the imperial court simply cannot make ends meet. Therefore, the Gongsun family has developed a tradition of supporting war with war. By plundering foreign tribes such as the Karasuma tribe, they can not only obtain A large amount of property can also be used to build meritorious services, and internally, the nobles are extorted, basically collecting protection fees. Moreover, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, as Gongsun Zan expanded his military power, the oppression of the Youzhou nobles became even worse, and the conflict between Gongsun Zan and the Youzhou nobles became even more intense. sharp.
When Liu Yu was in charge of Youzhou, he paid tribute to Wuwan every year and opened up border transactions to promote material exchange between the two places. The relationship between Wuwan and the Han Dynasty began to heat up.
Liu Yu's approach greatly reduced the losses of the nobles, and the nobles began to change their attitude towards the Gongsun family. Because of the extreme shortage of military funds, Gongsun Zan made a move to plunder. And because of this, Gongsun Zan was very hostile to the nobles. He He didn't want to get entangled with these guys. In his eyes, they were just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. But now that they were on the border of Jizhou, people had to bow their heads under the low eaves.
Gongsun Zan still ignored Liu Yu and the Jizhou nobles and started talking to Qin Ge. The two groups were not the same people at all. Seeing that all the forces from all sides had arrived, Qin Ge welcomed everyone into the military camp and walked directly towards the general platform.
Qin Ge said as he walked: "If you don't plan for the future, you won't be able to plan for a while. Nowadays, all the forces in Jizhou are mixed. If we can work together to fight against the Goryeo Hulu, the outcome of this battle is unknown! I invite you all to come here today. , just to discuss the matter of jointly resisting the enemy!" Gongsun Zan and the Jizhou nobles and celebrities had their own thoughts and were silent after hearing the words.
Liu Yu said with joy on his face: "What Boxi said is right. Now we must unite all our forces and work together to fight against the Hulu!" Celebrities and nobles echoed.
"Wars are deadly! Everyone's life is more important than the sky. There are not many stupid people like Boxi in this world! He fought bloody in the Blood Wolf Castle with his life, and finally climbed out from the pile of dead people. After getting a rank-6 sesame officer, a lieutenant general in the feather forest, those sons of the gentry have been wandering around in the palace as langguan for a few years, and they are about the same! Now what are the national interests and national justice, the glory and wealth of those gentry masters in Luoyang are all due to us The frontier soldiers built it with corpses, it's really chilling to think about it now!" Gongsun Zan said with a sinister sneer. He was complaining about the injustice on behalf of Qin Ge, but actually he was complaining about his own injustice.
Gongsun's family has been loyal and loyal for generations, guarding the border for the Han Dynasty. What has he got in exchange for it? Those like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are just a bunch of stupid pigs in his eyes. Now they are high-ranking officials in the court, rich in salary, rich in romance, and they are tiger heroes. Drink the northwest wind in this cold land!
Liu Yu was speechless by Gongsun Zan's anger, but he listened to Qin Ge's opinion and did not confront Gongsun Zan. Instead, he fell into silence, while a group of nobles and nobles looked unhappy. Gongsun Zan was talking to them. .
Qin Ge watched everything with a cold eye and watched everyone's reactions. It was exactly as Kinderman expected. Personal hatred had caused them to create rifts that could not be stitched together.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Qin Ge hit Gongsun Zan with his arm and joked: "Fenghuaxueyue, Yangchunbaixue! We are rough people. In addition to wielding swords and guns, instead of letting you Gongsun Bogui drop a few lines of poetry, I believe you would prefer it. Riding horses across the border, that’s the romance of men!”
Gongsun Zan laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "That's a good thing! I heard that the imperial court gave Boxi several jars of imperial wine. It's only a good thing. Now I'm here, brother, and I have benefited from Boxi's glory. I have to let go today." Drink?"
Qin Ge laughed and exchanged pleasantries with the three parties, so that the atmosphere would not become too cold.
Everyone had already entered the school grounds. At this time, the entire school grounds was filled with shouts of killing. A giant flaming bird was seen flying over the school grounds, and ten giant pillars condensed with golden light stood around the school grounds.
The entire school grounds were shrouded in pure Yang fire, and the surging heat waves emitted a terrifying high temperature, which touched about seventy or eighty degrees. It was unbearable for ordinary people. A group of evolved people such as the Moon God and Wolf Totem stood outside the school grounds sweating profusely. Drenched, burning and stinging, they quickly backed away, not daring to take a step forward.
However, the Jinmaohu and the others were bathed in the pure Yang fire. Although they were sweating on their foreheads, they seemed to be able to endure such scorching heat. Seeing this, the Wolf Totem was surprised and said: "Brother Jinmaohu! We are not inferior to you in cultivation. Do you all need to practice fire-based skills to withstand such blazing heat..."
Jinmaohu pointed to the sky and said: "Did you see those ten totem poles? Those are the sacred objects that we used to break the Snow Wolf Castle and capture Goguryeo. This formation is the supreme totem formation of the Goguryeo royal family, called the Golden Crow Sky Surveying Formation! One of the major functions of this formation is to gather the pure Yang energy between heaven and earth. It is precisely because the school grounds are covered by the large formation that the pure Yang energy is five times that of normal places, so it is so hot!"
The Wolf Totem couldn't help but gasped when he heard the words. Xiaoya asked thoughtfully: "Golden Crow Sky Patrol Array? I heard that the highest totem of Goguryeo is the Golden Crow. Brother Qin must have a wonderful use for setting up this array here!" Moon God, Wolf Totem The others frowned when they heard this. This is Qin Ge's secret and it is difficult for outsiders to publish it.
The Jinmaohu said indifferently: "The yin and yang qi is close to the original qi between heaven and earth. It is said that warriors practice yang and magicians absorb yin. Pure yang qi can strengthen the body and strengthen the yang. , using pure Yang Qi to assist cultivation can greatly enhance the speed of cultivation. For example, now, the pure Yang Qi here is five times that of other places. Of course, only the Protector Army can be connected to the general's bloodline and can absorb such violent pure Yang Qi. Qi, practiced in the Golden Crow Sky Patrol Array, the cultivation speed can be increased five times! Ordinary people entering the Golden Crow Array will be roasted into ashes by the concentrated power of the sun. Of course, these are for soldiers with gold rank and below. For martial artists who have entered the mainstream, although the effect is not obvious, it is still of great benefit and can greatly improve the true strength!"
Moon God's eyes lit up when he heard this and said: "Pure Yang Qi can indeed speed up the cultivation of warriors, but if you want to practice quickly, you need a lot of heaven and earth vitality. The heaven and earth vitality here is relatively thin. Brother Qin must have a way to improve the heaven and earth vitality!"
The golden-haired tiger pointed at the national-protecting army flag hanging in the sky and said: "This military flag is the exclusive military flag of the lord. Whenever a national war occurs, in the war zone, the general recruits the national-protecting army. The speed of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth is several times higher than usual. Times!"
…
Qin Ge led everyone around the school grounds, with the purpose of showing everyone the achievements of the new army construction of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and also to show the strength of his subordinates.
At this time, the expeditionary force was divided into two parts. One part was personally commanded by Xu Shu, and was composed of the surviving soldiers of the expeditionary force, the Dongyue soldiers who came from Taishan County, and the newly recruited combat elites. The infantry regiment was mainly composed of swords and shields. Soldiers, spearmen, halberd soldiers, and crossbowmen were three legions commanded by Liao Hua, Thunder Tiger, and Yi respectively.
The other part is the newly formed Northern Expeditionary Army Cavalry Regiment commanded by Zhao Yun. At this time, Zhao Yun is commanding the cavalry troops to form a charge and is training the basic ten formations. At this time, Zhao Yun can condense the wind and thunder attributes by operating the basic ten formations. Military strength.
