Before the Wanping Army launched its second large-scale siege.
Because the "Lingzhou Prefecture Army" suddenly airborne.
Due to various reasons, the entire Pingcheng fell into an absurd cycle.
Especially on a certain day.
Yu Mu and He Peng are like bandits.
In the inner city, one door after another came to visit.
I need money and food.
This atmosphere is even more strange.
The wealthy households complained.
Some even went to the city lord's house and asked Wei Tao to make the decision.
Wei Tao put on an upright look.
In fact, no action was taken.
Regarding the "Lingzhou Prefecture Army", he still called it "friendly army".
With an ambiguous attitude, the direction of the entire inner city has become unpredictable.
At the same time, Cao Su returned to the government army.
He became a favorite among the government troops.
Cao Su made great achievements.
It is said that after going deep into the enemy's rear, even the food and grass of the Wanping Army were burned, and tens of millions of Ping soldiers were hacked to death.
"I heard that a fire burned down the granary of the Wanping Army. The fire continued for a day and a night. At this moment, the Wanping Army did not have a grain of food, and the soldiers were all starting to starve!"
"Your version is too old. What I heard is that after Cao Su cut off the grain supply, he single-handedly charged into the Wanping Army camp. If it weren't for the lack of response from the government troops in our city, we might have defeated Pingcheng by now.
During the siege, I drank in the Wanping Army camp."
Some rumors are just nonsense.
However, gossiping is human nature.
The more everyone talked, the more enthusiastic they became. Even though they themselves thought it was impossible, they were still willing to say it.
Say it again and believe it.
Under the hypnosis of countless words, the morale of the Pingcheng Prefecture Army slowly improved.
Wei Tao met with Cao Su again.
This time, with a wave of his hand, Cao Su was directly rewarded with gold, silver and jewels.
It's indeed rather tacky.
Cao Su simply took the money and replaced it with meat and elixirs used for cultivation.
Two days later.
Cao Su completed five breakthroughs in Qi and blood in the military tent camp.
This rate of progress is too scary.
He was afraid to tell it.
He actually achieved a breakthrough that would be difficult for ordinary people to achieve after years of accumulation.
After the Five Outbursts.
The whole person jumped up again.
He is now nearly 1.85 meters tall.
He has a burly figure, the body of a tiger and the back of a bear, and the muscles on his body are like entwined tree roots.
The energy and blood all over the body are rushing like a mighty river.
His strength has increased a bit, and his facial features have become sharper.
Cao Su was able to detect significant changes in his body.
Although it has been enhanced, the magnitude of the enhancement is not particularly surprising.
No wonder many people don't insist on four or five sudden changes.
Compared with becoming a power realm, the accumulation at this stage cannot bring about a substantial increase in combat power.
However, there was a lot of water, and Cao Su could feel that at this moment, he possessed terrifying power that was unimaginable to warriors at the Qi and Blood stage.
With his current strength, if the sword were to strike horizontally, it would be impossible for a Qi-blood warrior to resist it.
I'm afraid the three-pronged Qi-blood warrior can only do two swords.
The stronger he is at this stage, the more qi and blood warriors he can kill, and the faster his qi and blood accumulate.
Cao Su felt his body, and it seemed that he still hadn't reached the limit of his energy and blood.
He made up his mind.
To push Qi and blood to the limit.
Compared with the breakthrough of Qi and blood, the "Essence of Strength Realm" obtained by killing the yellow man before was even more exciting.
【The Essence of Chongbu Lijing】
"Punch" is a kind of footwork.
It can also be said to be a body technique.
A technique involving the strength of the legs and steps.
Although Cao Su had never heard of it, he also knew that body skills were precious.
In the martial arts market of the same level, boxing is the least valuable.
Secondly, there are weapon skills such as swords, guns and sticks.
As for martial arts such as hidden weapons and body skills, they are even rarer.
Cao Su has boxing, sword and sword skills.
I have always been missing a body skill.
Now, the body technique is also available.
This made him extremely excited.
I also practiced more diligently.
Just wait for the blood level to reach full level.
...........
...........
A few more days passed.
The weather is gradually getting warmer.
The spring breeze blows through the branches of the tall trees in Pingcheng, bringing the fragrance of green grass and refreshing the heart and mind.
Wan Pingjun never made any movement.
After the failure of the last all-out attack on the city, the Wanping Army spent the whole day preparing for war.
Put pressure on Pingcheng, but don't rush to attack.
They also know that no amount of testing is useless at this moment.
On the contrary, it will tire out the soldiers who continue to attack the city.
The Pingcheng Prefecture Army speculated that the Wanping Army might be preparing for another high-intensity siege.
So after some days, the Pingcheng Prefecture Army also began to tense up.
Be ready to fight on the wall at any time.
Inner city.
After all, the big players couldn't stand it anymore.
Being bullied by the "Lingzhou Friendly Army" all day long, all the money I finally managed to accumulate was almost gone.
This "Lingzhou Prefecture Army" doesn't look like a Prefecture Army at all, but more like bandits.
He is so greedy that after giving it once, he will come back for it again.
Time and again, challenging the bottom line of big players.
The big households began to try every means to drive away these "Lingzhou Prefecture Army".
One way they thought of was to influence Wei Tao's decision.
How does Wei Tao's decision affect him?
Almost all the wealthy families in the inner city have their children serving as servants in the government army.
However, most of these disciples are still ordinary sergeants. If you have a centurion, you will be a high official.
The centurion is indeed a high official in the Pingcheng Prefecture army.
But it was not enough. A captain was required to attend high-level military meetings and influence Wei Tao's decision.
So the big players began to take action, trying to find ways to find the Eighth Colonel.
When Cao Su returned home from his rotation.
I also encountered such an "uninvited guest".
.........
"Cao Baifu!"
Dong Xuan smiled and greeted Cao Su.
After greeting him, he came over and stuffed something into Cao Su's arms.
"Why?"
"Senior Brother Dong!"
"what do you mean?"
Cao Su frowned.
Dong Xuan smiled and said: "Cao Baifu, it doesn't mean anything, I just mean it."
The Dong family is one of the largest families in the inner city, and Cao Su has known this for a long time.
However, he thought that Dong Xuan was just a business junior of the Dong family and could not take charge of the matter. Unexpectedly, at this time, Dong Xuan would actually jump out and find him.
"Senior Brother Dong, I know your purpose of coming."
Cao Su still pushed the money bag back to Dong Xuan.
Today, he is no longer the low-level person who can be impressed by just a little money.
He is a "big shot" in Pingcheng.
The influence and voice are not what they used to be.
"But, this matter is indeed difficult to handle, I've heard about it too."
"The Lingzhou Prefectural Army is our friendly army in Pingcheng. They lend a helping hand in times of crisis. According to logic, it is reasonable to provide them with some food and wine. Who makes us owe others a favor? Don't you think so?"
The tone set by Cao Su made Dong Xuan look a little unhappy.
But he still said "yes".
Because what Cao Su said does make sense.
"But the money and food for our big households don't fall from the sky. The Lingzhou government army is saving our lives in Quanping City. There is really no reason to only let our big households in the inner city provide money and food."
Cao Su's words touched Dong Xuan's heart.
Dong Xuan nodded quickly: "Yes, that's the truth."
"Our government army must pay attention to "justice and integrity" when doing things."
"The Lingzhou Prefecture Army is our friendly army. If something goes wrong, the Lingzhou Prefecture Army will handle it themselves. We can't help you with your affairs with the Lingzhou Prefecture Army."
Cao Su suddenly changed the subject and rejected Dong Xuan.
Let Dong Xuan stay where he is, as if he was struck by lightning.
Cao Su paused for a moment, waiting for Dong Xuan to slow down and was about to say a few polite words.
Cao Su rushed in front of him and spoke again: "But there is someone who can help you."
A straw flies to you before you die, so hurry up and grab it.
Dong Xuan reacted almost instinctively and immediately asked: "Who?"
Who can save them?
Dong Xuan had also been thinking before that he, like the Dong family and the big families in the inner city, felt that only Wei Tao could save them, but they didn't know if Wei Tao would take action.
Cao Su opened the carriage curtain and pointed at the people on the roadside.
"them."
them?
Dong Xuan followed Cao Su's gaze and looked where he was?
In his eyes, he could not see the poor people with sallow faces and skinny muscles that occasionally appeared on the roadside.
"The people of Pingcheng."
Cao Su simply explained everything.
Dong Xuan was shocked by these words.
why is that?
He looked confused.
Cao Su asked: "Let me ask you, why do the Lingzhou army ask you for money and food?"
Dong Xuan replied bluntly: "Because we have money and food."
"Yes, but it's also wrong."
Cao Su shook his head and said: "The real reason is that they need to eat, and in Pingcheng only the government army and you have food."
"The government army doesn't want it anymore and hasn't given it to you. I have to ask you for the rest."
Cao Su explained the stakes, and Dong Xuan suddenly understood.
"The people in Pingcheng are about to run out of food."
Cao Su pointed outside and said: "As people from Pingcheng, if you can save the people, you will have done your part."
Shall we save the people?
Dong Xuan was silent. Faced with the embarrassment of being completely robbed by the Lingzhou army, should he spend all his money and food to save the people of Pingcheng?
What are the benefits of saving people?
He made a quick calculation in his mind and it seemed that he could win some good reputation.
Maybe he can also gain a good impression on his parents, Wei Tao.
"As the same saying goes, whoever has food will rob the other's food. If you don't have food, they won't waste their efforts."
"You should think about it carefully!"
"Most of the government troops are sons of poor families from the outer city of Pingcheng. The Lingzhou government army dares to touch you, but they will never dare to touch the people in the outer city."
After Cao Su finished speaking, he jumped off the carriage and left.
Dong Xuan's carriage continued to move forward.
He quickly disappeared into the street.
Cao Su changed direction, jumped onto the roof and ran toward the inner city.
After passing a few alleys.
He met Wei Kai who was waiting for him on the roof.
"Master Wei."
Cao Su handed over his hand.
Wei Kai said calmly: "Have you finished talking?"
Cao Su smiled and said, "Yes, it's all said and done."
"Okay, I'll take credit for you."
Wei Kai forced a smile.
It affects the facial muscles that have not changed for a long time, like a zombie.
Cao Su laughed awkwardly to cover up his embarrassment.
