"The Youbei Alliance expanded too rapidly, resulting in a very loose internal structure."
"The main method of the alliance is that each sect will hand over its own resources and disciples to the alliance, and then the alliance will uniformly cultivate and train them to form a more powerful alliance."
"My subordinate is good friends with the head of one of the sects. He was forced to join the alliance and was dissatisfied with the Piaoxue sect in his heart. He is willing to serve General Pingbei."
The newly joined Zhongjin quickly entered the role and quickly drew the sphere of influence of the Youbei Alliance on the map of the meeting hall.
Originally, the imperial court should have some important frontier towns to rely on in the north of Youzhou Prefecture, but now these have been captured by the Youbei League. The only area of land that Cao Su can actually control is the area of Youzhou Prefecture, with a radius of
Only a few dozen miles.
Wu Ming, who had been silent, also participated in the discussion. He held his chin, stretched out his finger, and pointed to a city in front of the central mountain range.
"General, Tongfu City in front of Yu'an Valley is the bridgehead into the central mountains. We must take this city into our hands first."
"By capturing this city, we can enter the central mountains at any time and leverage the foundation of the Youbei Alliance. At the same time, we can expand the scope of our army's influence. A large area of fertile land from Tongfu to Youzhou Prefecture can be used to grow crops."
Wu Ming's change was obvious. Cao Su took another look at him and saw that his expression remained as usual.
However, as soon as Cao Su turned around, his eyes immediately showed a look of eagerness to try.
In Cao Su's camp, he was the only civil servant like him, but now Zhongjin came.
This Zhongjin is a young man and quite arrogant. An ordinary lord might not be able to stand it long ago.
However, Cao Su's palace was extremely deep and had room for people, so he unexpectedly took Zhong Jin under his command.
Zhongjin now began to show off his knowledge and opinions, and Wu Ming subconsciously gave his opinions as well.
Involution is a good thing. As a person in power, Cao Su is not opposed to this kind of internal competition.
Zhongjin continued to draw on the map, and soon pointed to a city and a huge mountain in the north of Youzhou.
"Snow City under the Snow Mountain."
"General, this is the number one sect in the Youzhou martial arts world."
The Piaoxue Sect has been standing in Youzhou for thousands of years. Although it is a martial arts force, it is extremely influential. They even built their own city under Piaoxue Mountain, acting like a local emperor.
Cao Su looked at the snowy city, and his eyes seemed to have traveled hundreds of miles at once.
In the snowy sky north of the central mountain range, we found the huge city at the foot of the mountain.
----------------------------------------
Piaoxue Sect, Piaoxue City.
There are two firsts in Youzhou. When it comes to martial arts training, Piaoxue Sect is known as the first. When it comes to cultivating Taoism, Jiuling Mountain is known as the first.
However, Jiuling Mountain has always been mysterious, and the requirements for spiritual roots to accept disciples are quite strict. How can ordinary people have the opportunity to go to Jiuling Mountain to learn from their masters?
Piaoxue Sect is different. Piaoxue City is a place that you can walk within if you are willing to come and have feet.
The snowy city of Nuoda looks white and ancient amidst the accumulating wind and snow.
This city has the unique style of the Northland. There are also various pavilions and pavilions in the city, but they are lower than the entire city of Shendu, for fear that the houses will be blown down by the wind and snow.
Most of the people living in the city are ordinary people.
Ordinary people here have little idea of the imperial court, and there is no government power in the entire Piaoxue City.
Everyone only knows Piaoxue Sect, and all young people regard joining Piaoxue Sect as their ultimate goal.
But joining the Piaoxue Sect is not easy. The minimum requirements for accepting a disciple from the Piaoxue Sect are to have a sudden burst of energy and blood, and to be no more than twenty-five years old.
Many young people in Piaoxue City are from poor families and cannot afford the Qi and Blood Pills refined by the Piaoxue Sect. They are unable to achieve Qi and blood breakthroughs and find it difficult to meet the minimum standards for joining the Piaoxue Sect.
And once you can join the Piaoxue Sect, it will be a major event for the sect to honor its ancestors, and the entire family will be impressed by it.
When the residents of Piaoxue City look up, they can see the towering holy mountain. The Piaoxue Sect is located on this holy mountain.
"clang--"
"clang--"
"clang--"
Suddenly, the holy mountain bell rang three times.
The sound of the bell floated from the holy mountain all the way to the city, and every household in the city could hear it clearly.
"The snow bell rang and the Holy Mountain opened. Did the Holy Sect accept another disciple today?"
Some young warriors in the city looked sideways, showing surprise.
As early as three months ago, Piaoxue Sect had already opened the mountain to recruit disciples. Unexpectedly, only three months later, it would recruit disciples again. This frequency was much faster than before. According to previous years, there were only two disciples a year.
It was just a few times, and one of them was a small-scale recruitment, not a formal recruitment like today's "ringing of three snow bells."
As the Snow Bell rang, the entire Snow City was like boiling water, and it instantly became lively.
"Give one, give one, give one!"
Among the residents who went to the recruitment point, a thin boy with a black head and an earthy face rushed in.
Although this kid is thin, he moves very nimbly, passing through the crowd like a swimming fish.
"Who!"
"Who is so careless!"
"You brat! Watch carefully! Be careful I flatten you!"
The black boy laughed loudly, and relied on his flexibility to jump up from the crowd.
He was wearing a straw hat and tattered cotton and linen clothes, with a fish basket hanging on his waist. His body was covered with mud. The fish basket reflected the dull crystal light in the sun, and there seemed to be freshly caught fresh food in it.
"I want to sign up!"
Goqi stretched out his hand and was the first to rush to the Piaoxue Sect's recruitment desk.
Piaoxue Sect recruitment is an open recruitment. The entire square is guarded by more than a dozen disciples wearing Piaoxue Sect costumes. In front of the recruitment stage is a handsome young inner disciple. He looked at the dirty Goqi and smiled slightly.
He frowned.
Goch's eyes were full of expectation.
He needs this opportunity so much!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He originally thought that the Piaoxue Sect would not openly recruit disciples in the past year, but he did not expect that the Piaoxue Sect would suddenly recruit disciples in advance. This surprised him so much.
It was as if he knew his desire and specially set up a recruitment system for him.
"When Piaoxue Sect recruits disciples, they must meet the minimum standard of a burst of Qi and blood, and then they can become outer disciples."
"Either you have extraordinary bones and great potential, and you can become an inner disciple."
The young man looked at Gochi calmly, his tone was indifferent, and his voice spread throughout the recruitment square: "Do you know the rules?"
"Of course I know. In addition, if you can defeat the official disciple, you can also become a disciple of Piaoxue Sect!" Gochi had already memorized the recruitment rules and even added one for the young man.
The young man immediately became even more unhappy and said coldly: "In that case, which one do you choose?"
The young boy Gotch showed a smile as bright as the sun: "Of course I, Gotch, am going to challenge the most difficult one."
"You want to defeat the official disciple?"
The young man snorted coldly, feeling that this young man was mentally ill and was making trouble unreasonably.
The official disciples are all masters who have at least completed the first Qi and blood breakthrough, and some have even achieved the second or third Qi and blood breakthrough. He has already sensed this young man. He has not even made a breakthrough in Qi and blood, and he wants to challenge the Qi and blood warriors? This is not the case.
What is neurosis?
"right!"
Gochi raised his head confidently, causing an uproar in the audience.
The young man was not willing to waste any more time with him and directly ordered: "Thank you for your grace, you play with him."
A young disciple of the Piaoxue Sect beside the young man immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Yang."
Meng En is a martial artist with strong Qi and blood. He has obvious muscles and is a head taller than Gotch. He has a sinewy face. It is obvious that he has practiced martial arts very well. After twisting his neck, he walked to Gotch's side.
before.
Qi and blood surge!
The onlookers were immediately shocked. Isn't this test too difficult?
According to the unwritten rules, if you want to defeat a formal disciple, don't you only need to defeat the formal disciple who has a sudden burst of vitality and blood?
But Goch didn't talk nonsense and made a starting gesture.
After the two of them greeted each other, Meng En, who was full of energy and blood, rushed out with a bang. Before anyone arrived, his fists were already raised.
Amidst the roaring sound, everyone seemed to be able to predict that the thin Goch would be knocked to the ground in the next second.
"Pfft!"
The two passed each other and made a slight sound.
The young disciple of Piaoxue Sect, who had been waiting to see the joke, suddenly changed his face. Meng En, who rushed out, suddenly turned green and purple. He punched the opponent in the abdomen and was hit by a palm at some point. This palm
It was so powerful that it made him freeze in place.
Gotchi regained his momentum, and there was a dull white light on his exposed palms.
"Concession!"
All the residents in the audience were dumbfounded. Many people did not understand what was happening. They only saw the thin Goqi not afraid of the strong man, facing the difficulties, and actually defeated the weak and the strong, and suddenly burst into laughter.
Warm cheers.
The face of the young man from the Piaoxue Sect who was originally waiting to see a joke was changing, and he could feel the eyes of thousands of people watching here.
He didn't dare to make any changes, and in the end he could only grit his teeth and admit that Gotch had won: "Gotsch, you passed the recruitment exam."
Gotch was overjoyed, raised his arms high, and ran on the stage.
On Piaoxue Mountain, which is very far away from the city, a man stands on the top of the mountain, overlooking the mist-like boundless land.
He is the leader of the Piaoxue Sect and the leader of the Youbei League, Yun Zhengxin.
Next to Yun Zhengxin, there was a man in a green robe, holding a chess piece in his hand, looking at the chessboard with ravines in front of him, and fell into deep thought.
"Brother Jian, the world is changing so fast. Just like a chess game, as long as you make the next move, the overall situation will be completely different."
Yun Zhengxin knew that Luo Jian was in an extremely complicated situation without even watching the chess game.
Luo Jian thought deeply and hesitated to make the next move.
After a long time, he sighed: "After all, Cao Su represents the orthodoxy of the imperial court, and he has won hundreds of battles on the battlefield. I am afraid it will be difficult to contain him with only Xing Xi."
Yun Zhengxin objected: "Xingxi is so far away from Cao Su, I'm afraid Cao Su may not attack him first."
Luo Jian shook his head and strengthened his opinion: "No, Cao Su will definitely take action. He is a smart man. He knows his advantage. If he wants to maintain his advantage, he can only use troops against Xing Xi first, even if it is just for show.
OK."
Speaking of this, Luo Jian suddenly felt inspired.
Suddenly a word was dropped, and the chess piece landed exactly in the middle of the chessboard.
There are only a few steps away from the general gate on the opposite side.
