The whole city cheered. From Zong Zhengwen to the few thousand households to the ordinary soldiers, everyone made a fortune out of thin air. The ones who cheered the loudest were the infantry regiments who followed Li Hou to attack the city. Many soldiers even felt as if they were in a dream: "It is said that serving as a soldier under General Fengming is hard for everyone. Even if the pension for those killed in battle is paid, there will be less exploitation at all levels. It's really different to hang out with General Li Hou."
One of Li Hou's soldiers explained: "Oh, speaking of our General Li Hou, he is a general directly under the command of the current emperor. He is a very generous man. Originally, these things should have been returned to the national treasury. The old man made all the decisions and gave it to us. Moreover, General Li Hou is always the first to rush into battle."
Suddenly, all the soldiers cheered at the same time: "General Li Hou is mighty, General Li Hou is invincible Hahaha."
All the soldiers sighed, if the gold and silver left by the rich could be divided like this every day, no matter whether they left their hometown to fight, living like this would be a happy day, and even if their family members died, they would still have something. Have a good life.
When Liu Fengming led five hundred soldiers into the city, he saw such a spectacular scene.
The whole Hefeng City was brightly lit, and a row of oil lamps connected together to form a fire dragon. It is difficult for ordinary people to waste these lamp oils in such a wasteful way, but these soldiers did not feel sorry for them at all. Each soldier was holding a wine bowl and grabbing a piece of barbecue dripping with grease. The gold and silver stuffed in his breastplate shone brightly, and he kept shouting towards the sky, "Long live King Zhao, Li Li". The general's mighty cheers.
Liu Fengming shook his body and was so angry that he almost fell off his horse. When he was in charge of the army, he was strict with his subordinates in privately plundering and dividing the spoils of war, which were issued by the military headquarters, in order to establish the prestige of the army. Usually, not to mention drinking as much as today, even a few taels of food and grass were greedy. All penalties will be severe.
A partial general also said with an ugly face: "Sir, General Li Hou has just received a reward from His Majesty, why has he completely forgotten military discipline?"
Liu Fengming took off his helmet and put it under his arm. His pretty face was frosty and he said coldly, "Don't ask me. If you want to ask, you have to ask General Li Hou if this military discipline is really unnecessary."
Liu Fengming saw among the drunken people on the street, there were soldiers wearing uniforms and holding weapons. These soldiers who were supposed to be guarding the city wall, why were they all drunk? Don't they know at all that they are still at war and that the Mu troops can counterattack at any time?
Just when Liu Fengming was extremely anxious and wanted to ask Li Hou for clarification, Liu Fengming saw Li Hou. Li Hou was sitting on an Eight Immortals table and was carried over by a dozen sturdy soldiers. There was a roasted lamb in front of Li Hou, and a jar of strong liquor on his lap. His armor and weapons were all gone, and his entire upper body was exposed. The outer trousers on his lower body were also missing, leaving only a pair of obscene clothes. pants, and his boots flew away to no one knows where.
Li Hou raised the wine vat and took a sip, then roared loudly: "Boys, are you enjoying it?"
The soldiers who were staggering along the way were all cheering: "Enjoyable."
Li Hou was delighted: "If you want to have fun, you have to have more fun. Gold, silver, jewels, furs, good wine and meat, ho ho You want gold, silver, jewels, chopping wood, wine, and meat." , meat You follow me and I will ensure that you drink wine and eat meat every day, ho ho ho We will kill all the way, ha ha ha ha We are going to break into the royal city of the Mu tribe and kill the Mu Khan. Kill him, kill him, and then we can rob the entire Mu imperial city, rob all their things, eat all their barbecue, and drink all their good wine. Ho ho!"
The soldiers were already going crazy under the stimulation of alcohol. Their fanatical heads could not judge what Li Hou was talking about. They could only keep repeating Li Hou's shouts: "Kill him, kill him, kill him." Mu Khan, kill the Mu Khan rob the Mu Imperial City, rob the Mu Imperial City We want to drink, we want to eat meat Hahahaha."
Li Hou raised the wine jar and shouted loudly: "Mother, if you want to get rich and drink wine and eat meat, just follow me and go to war with me. If you kill others, what belongs to others will be yours. Kill the next one." The city, everything in the city belongs to you, those wealthy households, their things all belong to you. It is said that all the women of the Mu tribe are extremely graceful and have a unique flavor!"
Those soldiers who were still awake were so excited that their eyes were red, and they howled crazily: "Fight, fight, fight, kill, kill, kill Conquer the city, get promoted and make a fortune."
Liu Fengming looked at the hundreds of soldiers behind him. These hundreds of soldiers also had dull faces. They had never been treated like this under Liu Fengming's command, and besides??General Li Hou defeated all the cities on the south bank of the Nao River to only one with his single power. He really didn't know what to say.
Liu Fengming gritted his teeth and snorted angrily: "General Li Hou is indeed majestic, but he also knows how to enjoy himself with his soldiers."
"It's easy to talk," Li Hou crossed his legs and held the wine jar in his hand. He raised his head and took a few more sips. The clear wine spilled down the corner of his mouth, and his muscular chest suddenly became wet. "Feng General Ming, do you want to have a few sips too?"
"General Li is drunk, so he helped him go back to rest. He also ordered the entire army to observe martial law and beware of the Mu tribe's night attack and counterattack. Raise the tent!" Liu Fengming snorted coldly, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and turned around to head towards the city lord's palace.
The accompanying soldiers smiled bitterly, what else could they say? Now that Li Marquis and Liu Fengming were on equal terms, Liu Fengming had nothing to do with him. What could his own soldiers say? He immediately looked at the fragrant barbecue in the hands of those soldiers with envy and swallowed his saliva. Liu Fengming's military orders rushed towards the military camp.
One person conquered the city. There was not a single Mu people in the city. What was strange was that he didn¡¯t even take away valuables such as gold, silver, and jewelry. Liu Fengming, who was walking slowly, had something in his mind. What a mess.
Two days later, Zhao Dingkun had received the urgent letter from the flying pigeon sent by the military supervisor. He looked at the descriptions on the dozens of notes before and after, from the time when Li Hou led the troops to station in Hefeng City, until now the entire city has fallen into chaos. The chaotic carnival was a secret report recorded in every detail, and Zhao Dingkun had a wry smile on his face. He threw the note away and sighed: "That's all, that's all, what's going on? General Li Hou has a straightforward temper. Although he is a bit nonsense, he is quite good at gathering morale. It's just that this person's attack on the city will not work until the end." I¡¯ve never seen that before.¡±
Zhao Heng picked up the note that Zhao Dingkun threw away, read it carefully, and then with an indescribable weird look on his face, he handed the note to Zhao Li. After Zhao Li read the secret report, he smiled bitterly twice and couldn't say a word. Both of them felt that ridiculous feeling in their hearts at the same time. What on earth is going on?
Zhao Dingkun let out a long sigh, looked at the map on the big case in front of him, pointed it out and said: "It will take Li Hou ten days at the fastest to conquer the last city on the south bank of the Nao River. This is also if the battle goes smoothly. This can only be accomplished by force. If this is the case, our army is likely to be in a stalemate, and the Mu tribe can counterattack at any time."
Zhao Heng nodded, looked at the map for a while and then said: "What your Majesty said is true. Originally, I thought that it would take at least three days for the 200,000 people led by Liu Fengming to capture a city, and my own losses would be too much. The meeting was not small. Who would have thought that she would actually capture several cities with a loss of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Now, Liu Fengming's soldiers must have been around 200,000. They divided their troops to garrison these conquered cities, and allocated some siege equipment to support Li Then, let him capture the last Fengyu City as soon as possible, what does the Emperor think?"
Zhao Dingkun looked at it for a long time and nodded slowly: "Yes, Li Hou has made great achievements this time. No matter what, these cities must be firmly grasped. If we can capture all south of the Nao River, Come down, and then deploy the navy to station in the Nao River. If our army wants to invade the north of the Nao River, it is not a bad idea."
After a pause, Zhao Dingkun asked: "Zhao Li, look at the current situation, how will the Mu people react?"
Zhao Li laughed: "The emperor has already made a plan, so why ask the ministers? However, according to my humble opinion, the Mu tribe's army is not a problem. The Mu tribe is good at riding, and their people are fond of martial arts. If we really want to If they fight to the death, it is not difficult to raise an army of one million people. By then, both General Li Hou and General Feng Ming will be short of troops."
Zhao Heng nodded and said: "Food and grass."
Zhao Li frowned slightly and thought deeply: "Grain and grass are not a problem. Since the late emperor succeeded to the throne, the entire Mu tribe has taken the initiative to plunder the Central Plains. It is said that several large granaries have been built around the imperial city of the Mu tribe. Chen The grain for the new year is going moldy, but there is no place to store the new rice. Grain and grass are absolutely not a problem. At the very least, even if the livestock are slaughtered, we can supply the Mu army for a month's campaign nearby."
Zhao Heng knocked on the table lightly and showed a knowing smile: "Then, the only problem is the general who leads the army."
Zhao Dingkun, Zhao Heng, and Zhao Li laughed wildly at the same time. They kept shaking their heads. Zhao Li gasped and said: "General leading the army, hehehehe, although the Mu people are good at martial arts, they have not fought in many years, so where are they going?" Cultivate a general who will be undefeated in a hundred battles. Moreover, the Mu tribe's marches are mainly based on running, and they are good at cavalry. If they use cavalry to attack the city, there will be many casualties. Moreover, the Mu Shaolin trees, this ladder, I¡¯m afraid there aren¡¯t many things in the Arrow Tower.¡±
Zhao Dingkun laughed and said: "If the Mu tribe fights fiercely all year round, I really don't dare to fight.It is easy to use troops against them, but I have heard about a Mu general from my father If I have guessed correctly, if the Mu tribe wants to fight our army, they can only use one person. "
Zhao Heng and Zhao Li said at the same time: "Yu Ren Tu."
Zhao Dingkun nodded heavily: "That's Yu Rentu. This man seems to have joined the army at the age of eighteen, and then he fought many times with the Wubian soldiers of the Zhao Shi Dynasty. If we talk about the generals of the Mu tribe, who can treat me well?" He is the only one who knows everything about the army.¡±
Zhao Li bit his lip and said in a deep voice: "Yu Rentu is known as a general. I don't dare to belittle myself, but I want to compete with him."
Zhao Dingkun sneered: "There are plenty of opportunities, you don't have to worry Well, Zhao Heng, look, if Yu Rentu advances, where will it come from? If Li Hou confronts him, how will Yu Rentu die? ?¡±
Zhao Heng gently clicked on the map and said in a deep voice: "If I were Yu Rentu, I would bypass these cities that were captured by our army, take a long detour and land ashore, and then join forces with the Mu army in Fengyu City. , double-teamed, and took the opportunity to attack with naval forces. Moreover, General Fengming must not like General Li Hou. If they fight on their own, they will be in a bitter battle. In addition, there are countless naval forces. If several cities are besieged, the losses will be huge, and I won¡¯t be allowed to be defeated then. However, if Yu Rentu dares to face General Li Hou alone, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be a unified enemy.¡±
Zhao Dingkun nodded lightly: "Fengyu, Fengyu Well, we can't let them come over so easily. The soldiers and horses under Liu Fengming's command are just for me to deal with Yurentu. As long as I can delay Yurentu's actions, I can give them more A little trouble is a good thing. Order Liu Fengming to send spies along the Nao River to investigate. If the Mu people dare to lightly cross the Nao River, they must show some color to the Yuren Tu."
Zhao Heng accepted the order and began to write orders on the major case for the ordering soldiers to deliver to Liu Fengming.
After Zhao Dingkun pondered for a while, he nodded and said: "From now on, all our food and grass will be placed in Hefeng City. It is convenient for our army to supply. Whether it is advancing the whole army or returning to the Central Plains, in short, Hefeng is in the middle position. In addition, he originally It is the granary of the Mu tribe. Since it stores grain and grass, the pressure on the military strength is much smaller. Zhao Li, please give the order later."
Zhao Dingkun and others have made a plan here, and they can¡¯t help but feel at ease. The Mu clan¡¯s next move is already under control, so what are they afraid of? Zhao Dingkun snorted coldly: "As many people as they come, let them bring back as many heads as they can to me. The Mu people, even though they are chickens and dogs, are vulnerable to a single blow."
"At this time, Li Hou was promoted to the position of lieutenant general in the Zhao Dynasty. He only felt that he was majestic, but he did not know that he was in danger.
That day, he devoured the civilians in several cities of the Mu tribe. At this time, his resentment was soaring, so he ignored them, patted his butt and left. The innocent souls in Hefeng City where he was stationed did not dare to cause trouble, while the innocent souls in the other cities were stirring up chaos everywhere. Liu Fengming saw a lot of strange things like this when he arrived, and immediately sent an order to find those Taoist priests and monks to recite the scriptures on salvation.
It was fitting that Li Hou was unlucky. On this day, the military advisor under Liu Fengming actually invited a Taoist priest with immortal style from the Central Plains. This Taoist Master is none other than a disciple from the Yudu Peak Sect named Yu Cezhi. Just like the Crimson Sword at that time, he was cultivated in the Prefecture Period. He traveled around the world just to find opportunities to break through the pill formation. Listen to When he found out that the city outside the fortress was haunted by ghosts, he immediately wanted to slay the demons to gain more merit for himself.
As soon as he arrived outside the city, he was really shocked. With his cultivation level at the time of Pifu, he saw millions of innocent souls wandering around, and there were actually gusts of sinister wind blowing under the broad daylight. Immediately, a talisman was struck out, informing the door of what happened here, and he quickly walked into the city.
When Xiang Yuce had just ordered people to build a Taoist platform, Li Hou had heard about it. He just abided by Li Tianyi's words and did not provoke him, so he was in peace.
But this jade policy was so good that it eliminated a whole city of wronged souls, and actually formed a golden elixir in one fell swoop. However, it consumed a lot of money when it was used to save the wronged souls. After taking a few elixirs, I fled far outside the city to meditate and adjust the breath. , waiting for people from the same sect to come and work together to eliminate the devil.
If it was a Taoist boy from the Pifu stage, Li Hou would naturally look down upon him, but this Taoist boy suddenly became a disciple of this Golden Core stage. The temptation of a golden elixir is much more attractive than the blood food condensed by millions of ordinary people. If he swallowed this golden elixir, Li Houruo would really have to save a lot of effort to advance to the level of Demon King.
This jade was so powerful that it could form a golden elixir. Its realm was not yet stable, and its vitality was severely damaged. How could Li Hou be willing to let it escape? He immediately sneaked out of Hefeng City and followed this jade from a distance. After getting behind him, when he was unprepared, he raised his mace and used his poisonous hand to beat the jade Cezhi out of his wits.
"Yu Cezhi disappeared completely. Before Liu Fengming's military advisor could find him, several people under Yudu Feng's sect came to find him.The disciples of Danqi came in the clouds and directly found the military advisor based on the jade slips of the jade policy. After asking carefully, he found out that his junior brother had single-handedly destroyed a whole city of wronged souls, and even speculated that the golden elixir had been formed from the birth vision. Naturally, everyone nodded, but they learned that his junior brother had not appeared for several days. However, I was full of doubts again.
Several Jindan disciples worked together to save all the wronged souls in several cities. After waiting for a few days, there was naturally no news about Yu Cezhi, who was already dead. Several Jindan disciples repeatedly sent signals from Yudu Peak, but there was no response. A living person at the Jindan stage disappeared without a trace. After further investigation, Li Hou broke through several large cities with his own strength. Naturally, it attracted the attention of these Jindan disciples.
Li Hou originally practiced the demon skills of the demon cultivator in the Amber Lake, and he was full of the aura of Hong Confucianism. However, he killed many people and had mixed murderous intentions. In the eyes of these Jindan disciples, he was naturally extremely weird. Although he had never suspected that this mortal warrior had harmed his junior brother, he was now convinced that he was definitely connected with Yuce's disappearance, and naturally he was observing with his spiritual consciousness day and night.
Li Hou is also not a good person. These golden elixir disciples relied on their cultivation to act like this. He was also very angry. Because he swallowed a golden elixir from the jade policy, his cultivation level greatly improved and his magic skills increased greatly. , how could he look at these people? However, his fate was good. When Li Tianyi swallowed the Huangxuan Golden Pill that day, he almost died. If this jade strategy had not reached the Golden Pill stage for several hours, he would probably have died from an explosion. At this time, these golden elixir stage disciples were just a few moving golden elixirs in his eyes.
??????????????????? However, Li Hou was not that reckless person, and he immediately took out a communication talisman. This communication talisman was left by Su Ji to Marquis Li when she left. She once said that if something big happens, she can use it. She will definitely come to help in the near future. As soon as this communication talisman is sent out, it will immediately cause a wave of blood. Come.
