Chapter 72 My lord, my big green iron cavalry is so mighty...
"Vessals are not that easy to be." Lord Qinghuang said calmly, "There have been many vassals in the history of this sect, but most of those who have lasted for three thousand years are from the Qing clan. There are only a dozen or so vassals with other surnames in existence.
Family, including your natal Han family."
"We, the Qing clan, must firmly control the power of the Qing clan, and the vassals must not abuse their vassals. Except for generations of vassals like the Han clan, the new ones will certainly not last long. Otherwise, after ten thousand years, the Qing clan will still have direct land.
What?"
For thousands of years, the Qing family's approach to their vassals was to continuously grant them titles and encourage them to die in service. At the same time, they constantly found excuses to take back their fiefdoms.
As for excuses, of course they are easy to find. Just find any fault and get the fief back.
If you want to have a fiefdom for generations to come, you have to make great contributions and gain the complete trust of the feudal lord.
As Jiang Yao walked on the road, her mind felt like a mirror.
It seems that Qingzhu is trusting him more and more, but no matter how hard he works, he will never be truly trusted.
Because he is an outsider.
Nowadays, we can only take one step, see one step, and calculate one step.
Every step must be taken steadily, and you must make a decision before taking action.
"Brother Zhongda." A familiar voice broke Jiang Yao's thoughts. It turned out to be Feng Ke.
At this time, Feng Ke was wearing battle armor and was already a hundred years old.
"Brother Buji." Jiang Yao stepped forward with a smile, "Are you still used to being in the military?"
Feng Ke handed over his hand: "Thanks to Brother Zhongda, General Han is quite polite. Now there is a cave in the army, there is spiritual food, and it is also equipped with war horses and armor. Although it is not as comfortable as before, at least it is much more stable and I can practice well.
.”
"My little brother's hundred-man team are all newly recruited casual cultivators. They don't understand military formations, so they will have to rely on their own personal force to kill the enemy."
Jiang Yao knew in his heart that these newly recruited casual cultivators could not be used as elites. To put it bluntly, they were just auxiliary soldiers and cannon fodder.
With the same 100 people, there is a huge gap in combat power between those who are proficient in military formations and those who are not familiar with military formations.
Feng Ke whispered again: "I specially say goodbye to Brother Zhongda. The army in the city will be leaving soon."
Jiang Yao smiled and said, "Why do we say farewell? My lord has an order, and I will go with him."
Feng Ke's eyes lit up, "So, I still have a chance to fight alongside Brother Zhongda."
The smart thing about Feng Ke is that he knows how to be grateful.
This is what Jiang Yao admires about him. Logically speaking, he is already a martial arts master. In front of himself, a second-class pharmacist, there is no need to be so low-profile. After all, the real world is about martial arts.
But his attitude is consistent from beginning to end, which makes people more trustworthy.
"As soon as I join the army, I have to fight. The Meng army is aggressive. I don't know how the war will go." Feng Ke was somewhat worried.
Although his centenarian position was obtained through connections, it is a good position after all. He has not yet settled down, so this Qing Clan should not be destroyed by the Meng Clan.
Jiang Yao did not tell him the military strategy, which was highly confidential. In fact, the dispatch of troops this time was not to resist the Meng army at all.
Instead, they will attack the Zheng clan unexpectedly, losing the north and making up for the loss in the south!
The Meng clan would not have thought that the Qing clan had lost half of its land. Instead of resisting desperately, they went to attack the Zheng clan frantically.
Zheng Clan would never have thought that Qing Clan would attack him instead of letting the invading Meng army fight when the Qing Clan was in danger.
…
"Cao'er, I'm going on an expedition, you have to listen to Senior Sister Shang."
On the eve of the expedition, Jiang Yao entrusted Yu Kuan to Shang Xuan.
If the Qing Clan's plan fails, the Qing Army is defeated, and the Qing Clan is destroyed, Shang Xuan can leave Qinghuang City with Yu Kuan.
In front of Shang Xuan, Yu Kuan must of course maintain the brother-sister relationship with Jiang Yao.
"Brother, you have to come back soon." Yu Kuan said in a sweet voice with her fingers in her mouth, tilting her little head with two corner buns, her expression was innocent, and her eyes were full of reluctance and admiration.
.
It's really like that.
Little did she know that when there was no third person present before, she said in an old-fashioned way:
"Yaoer, it is a matter of life and death for you to be blind. You must be cautious. For a genius, you must have the ability to escape... Remember, once the army is defeated, you will always follow Qingzhu. Don't run away by yourself.
...This experience will last you a hundred years."
However, in front of Shang Xuan at this time, "Master Kuan" opened his immature arms out of habit and said, "Brother!"
Jiang Yao also picked up Yu Kuan out of habit, "Brother will be back soon. Cao'er, don't cry and make trouble. You must listen to Senior Sister Shang."
Yu Kan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Cao'er understands."
When Shang Xuan saw it, she couldn't help but be touched by the brother-sister relationship between Jiang Yao and Yu Kuan.
"Junior Brother Jiang, don't worry Cao'er. As long as my life is there, her life will be there. However, you have to come back alive. Once the Qing Army is defeated, you will always stay close to the Qing Lord. That is the safest way.
.”
"I understand. Senior Sister Shang, I'll take care of Cao'er." Jiang Yao put down Yu Kuang, saluted Shang Xuan, and left with a snake staff.
When Jiang Yao arrived in the army, he saw green armor like clouds and a huge army, which made him feel insignificant.
This is an army composed of martial arts cultivators. The lowest level soldiers are also at the middle level of warriors.
The characteristic of the True Realm Army is that formations can be set up and changed very quickly. Under the influence of the Military Soul Card, the soldiers can instantly accept the orders of the general. Strictly trained soldiers and horses can make tens of thousands of people feel like one person.
Jiang Yao didn't know what would happen if a great master beheaded the commander of the army.
Now he understands. The result will most likely be death for the great master.
Because of the commander's thought, all the soldiers in the army will know it, and then the next moment, the army will react, and the military domain will be generated in the blink of an eye, controlling a space.
With the unity of the people, once a military domain with an army of ten thousand people is formed, it will be difficult for the strong warriors trapped in it to escape.
Therefore, it is very unwise to defeat a large army by relying on your high cultivation level. Because the most powerful military domain in the world is the military domain.
However, it does not mean that the more troops and horses there are, the stronger the army will be. It also depends on the morale of the army and the ability of the general.
"Lord." Jiang Yao entered the shogunate's tent and paid tribute to Lord Qing.
Jiang Yao was not a general, but no one was surprised that he joined the army.
Because he is the only second-class pharmacist in Qing clan.
The Qing Lord is wearing a gorgeous azure cloud-patterned armor, and he is sitting on the commander's seat with a big horse and a golden sword. Even the Qing clan's first general, Yin Zhu, is also sitting obediently on the left side.
On the lower right side, there is a young man with martial arts training, also wearing a gorgeous armor. This man is Qingge, the eldest son of the Qing clan.
Although Qingge had heard of Jiang Yao, this was the first time he saw Jiang Yao. When he saw Jiang Yao's attire, he couldn't help but smile familiarly and said: "Zhongda's attire, with a feather fan in his right hand and a snake staff in his left hand, is quite novel.
It’s tight.”
Jiang Yao also knew that he was the eldest son, so he nodded and said with a smile: "It is the custom of my disciples to make the eldest son laugh. I have a senior brother Ouyang Feng who also has a snake staff."
Qingge said: "Senior Brother Zhongda is also in the Western Regions? Why don't you come and serve me, Daqing?"
Jiang Yao smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, let's not mention it. Although this person is my senior brother, he is like an enemy. Ouyang Feng has a very high level of cultivation and is also very good at medicine, but he betrayed his master. He came to the Western Regions many years before me.
I don’t know where he is.”
Everyone understood. Jiang Yao also had a senior brother, Ouyang Feng, in the Western Regions. He had a very high level of cultivation and a very good way of medicine. He also had a snake staff, but his relationship with Jiang Yao was not very good.
…
In early February, the Navy of the Qing Army suddenly abandoned Mohu Pass. The tens of thousands of water thieves in the lake had been blocked for a long time, and they immediately left Mohu. Hundreds of warships followed the Luofeng River and entered the Kuaiwei County occupied by the Meng Army.
.
Even if they fight hard this time, they still have to seize the spiritual mines and resources of Kuowei County. Otherwise, tens of thousands of people will die of poverty.
All this happened suddenly, and even within the Qing clan, only a very few retainers, including Jiang Yao, knew about it.
When Meng Jun learned that the Mohu Water Bandits were attacking Kuaiwei County, he was so shocked that he could only dispatch 15,000 troops to fight against the 30,000 to 40,000 Mohu Water Bandits. They finally captured the Qing clan's Kuaiwei County, and there was no way they could spit it out again.
.
Among them, there are more than a dozen Wuzong generals who were used to deal with the Mohu water thieves, and there is also a Wuzhen general.
As a result, the force used by the Meng army to attack the Qing clan suddenly became thin. After all, the combined forces of the Meng clan and the Dushan tribe only had 60,000 people, and at least 10,000 more troops were needed to guard the mainland. The actual force used to fight the Qing clan was also very thin.
There are only 40,000 to 50,000 people.
Now that 15,000 men have been allocated to deal with the Mohu water thieves, there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses available to deal with the Qing clan.
As soon as the news came that the Mohu water thieves were dispatching troops, Lord Qing immediately led more than 20,000 troops and suddenly dispatched troops at night.
Not going north, but going south!
When Meng Clan received the news that Qingzhu was not going north but south, he immediately understood Qingzhu's intention.
And Zheng Clan also understood that Qing Clan actually sent troops to fight against him.
But by this time, it was too late.
Zheng clan's main army is fighting a fierce battle with Gan clan in the south. The troops at the front are tight. Two groups of casual cultivators have been mobilized to join the battle. Soldiers from the Zheng army are dying every day in the front.
The Zheng army guarding Zhangtai County only has a few thousand people. Most of these thousands of people are still stationed in Longguan City, the main city of the Zheng clan.
The Zheng clan and the Qing clan were also hostile to each other. Originally, the Zheng clan would have stationed heavy troops in Zhangtai County to prevent the Qing army from moving south.
However, when the Qing clan was defeated by the Meng clan and the news came that they had lost troops and lost territory, the Zheng clan confidently and boldly sent the main force south to resist the Gan army.
From Zheng Clan's point of view, Qing Clan had too much time to take care of himself, so why would he split his troops and go south? Isn't that looking for death?
When they learned about the Mohu water bandits sending troops, they understood why the Qing clan was so bold.
But it's too late.
At this time, Lord Qing led an army of more than 20,000 people, and the cavalry galloped more than 10,000 miles a day. They were approaching Zhangtai County, the largest and richest place in the Zheng clan, which was only a few thousand miles away from Longguan City.
But the main force of Zheng's army was still more than 20,000 miles away, and was being harassed by the main force of Gan's army.
Lord Zheng on the southern front was so frightened that he personally led more than 10,000 cavalry to return reinforcements.
If the Qing Clan had captured his main city before he arrived, it would be an unbearable defeat.
The main city cannot be lost!
…
"Boom boom boom!"
Like thunder crashing through the sky and covering the earth, Lord Qing led more than 10,000 of the most elite cavalry to go ahead and rush to the gate of Longguan City, the main city of the Zheng clan.
Looking at the dense protective formations on the huge city, Master Qing's cold eyes revealed a smile.
Within one day, we will break this city and capture Zhangtai County!
"Lord." Jiang Yao stepped forward and got close to Master Qing, "Our Daqing Iron Cavalry is so powerful, Zheng Jun must be vulnerable to a single blow!"
He agreed very much with what Yu Kuan and Shang Xuan said, it was the safest to always stay with Lord Qing on the battlefield.
