Chapter four hundred and seventy-eight settlement grazing
In the distance, there was a rapid sound of conch horns. The demons finally withdrew after losing tens of thousands of horses. In the snow curtain, countless demon cavalry retreated, no longer daring to meet the champion's sharp edge. In the wind,
The young military saint gently flicked the silver spear to disperse all the blood stains on the spear. He raised his hand and flicked the blood stains on the robe behind him. All the blood stains on the robe behind him evaporated and returned to a snow-white color. His breath was long and his face was rosy, just like this shocking battle.
It has nothing to do with myself at all.
He turned around and floated up the snowy ridge.
"Huo Piao Yao!"
Xu Zhan cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Thank you!"
The military sage smiled slightly: "It's a small matter. I hope to build the first sword-suppressing tower as soon as possible within the construction period. If there is a sword-suppressing tower, I'm afraid it won't be my turn to kill the enemy myself."
"Yes, I will try my best!"
The next moment, Huo Piaoyao landed in front of Lin Zhao and Gao Zhi, and said with a smile: "Soldiers rely on their killing power to defeat the enemy. This has always been the case. Lin Zhao, although your senior brother loves you very much, I think you are good at everything."
Okay, but my half brother still has to say something to you."
"ah?"
Lin Zhao couldn't help laughing, and immediately clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Brother Huo, please speak, Lin Zhao listens."
"Um."
Huo Piaoyao smiled and nodded, this attitude was considered a good one, so he smiled and said: "You have more than enough military strategy, but not enough killing spirit. To put it bluntly, you, Lin Zhao, can become a military strategist with your ability to strategize and win thousands of miles."
He is a member of the ancestral family, but he will never be able to become the seventy-two generals because he lacks murderous aura. Looking at your senior brother, huh, he is a real enemy of ten thousand people."
He raised his hand and pointed to the north and said with a smile: "I can only defeat ten thousand ordinary people, but he can defeat ten thousand and five realms in the sea of heavens!"
"..."
Lin Zhao was a little speechless, scratched his head and said: "Senior brother's murderous aura is strong because his skills are in place. My murderous aura is not strong mainly because my skills are not in place. I am just a person in the lower five realms. How can I compare with my senior brother?
But I still listened to what Brother Huo said. The lack of murderous intent will be made up for. In the future, on the battlefield, you will never show mercy to things that should not be shown. Please rest assured, Brother Huo."
"Um!"
Huo Piaoyao nodded with a smile and turned away, thinking that this boy was really a teachable boy, but it seemed that he was not qualified to teach him how to make up for his murderous aura... After all, this boy was not just a swordsman, he was
He is still a disciple of the Confucian sage Qin Suihan, and he is a genuine scholar. The tip of the Khan Ox Sword is warmed in the Yunjian Lake. He is destined to be a scholar full of knowledge in the future. Did he teach him wrong?
Immediately, he laughed at himself, "What's the matter? Qin Suihan's disciples are naturally very knowledgeable. He is just pointing in one direction. How to go depends on him."
As for Lin Zhao, he stood there, a little confused, and then looked at the mess on the northern battlefield. The corpses of countless demon cavalry were scattered everywhere, and there were countless ownerless Yunxi horses wandering on the snowy fields. They didn't know where to go, so
Lin Zhao shouted to the young military sage: "Brother Huo, can this battlefield be left to the army of Snowy Tianchi to clean it up?"
"Can."
Huo Piaoyao smiled and nodded: "I will sit in charge for you."
"good!"
Lin Zhao immediately turned to look at Zhi Zhi and said in a deep voice: "Immediately ask Muzhen to lead 20,000 people down to Beishan, come and lead the horses, pack weapons and armor, etc. Don't wait until the demons turn around, it will be more troublesome.
."
"yes."
Zhi Zhi nodded happily and immediately conveyed the order to Muzhi from the bottom of her heart.
Soon after, countless snow-covered cavalry descended from the north to the east and appeared in the fertile fields north of the first Jianzhen Tower. Muzhen, Chen Ben, Chu Yu and others were all there, quickly clearing the battlefield and removing the ownerless horses one by one. The war horses were taken away, but Huo Piaoyao's killing power was too great. Many war horses were injured, and many were even killed. But Muzhen, Chu Yu and others would live their lives and take away everything they could, even the demons. The armor was stripped off the corpses of the clan cavalry, and the horses that died in the battle were brought back to the snowy Tianchi. Horse meat can be eaten for a long time. As for the corpses of the demon cavalry, they were all buried on the spot. , which can be regarded as the utmost kindness and righteousness to the demons.
…
Late at night, the handsome tent in the snowy Tianchi.
Lin Zhao hadn't been to the commander's tent for a long time and was a little unfamiliar. He lay on the commander's desk and looked at the rolls of bamboo slips he had just listed. He frowned and said, "Just tell me the number."
"Yes, sir."
Zhi Zhi pursed her red lips and said: "We have collected a total of 18,500 Yunxi war horses, some of which are seriously injured, and I don't know if they can be saved. In addition, there are various weapons, armors, shields, etc. In this battle, Master Piao Yao killed more than 40,000 demons, which can be said to be a heavy loss, but our gains in weapons and horses are also quite generous."
"Um."
Lin Zhao smiled and nodded: "Hurry up and recruit veterinarians, don't save money, and try to save all of these Yunxi War Horses. After all, Yunxi War Horses are precious. The more veterinarians we recruit, the better. We will raise and train horses in the future." , the reproduction of Yunxi’s war horses and the like must be managed by someone, there is no need to save this money, just tell me how much money you need, I have more than 8,000 golden mullet coins here now, I am very rich!"
Zhi Zhi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Yes, I understand."
On the side, Xu Sheng frowned and said, "Sir, there is something that I need to pay more attention to."
"What's up?"
Lin Zhao looked at Xu Sheng. This veteran of the Dongwu Kingdom was a famous general, and according to the saying "having an old man in a family is like having a treasure", in fact, Lin Zhao valued Xu Sheng very much. He had been in the army for many years and had experienced countless battles. Needless to say, he is actually experienced in many things in military affairs, and I have to ask him for advice on many things, so he smiled and said: "Old General, just tell me!"
"yes."
Xu Sheng clasped his fists respectfully and said: "Sir, now there are many war horses in the Snowy Tianchi. Among them, there are more than 32,000 Yunxi war horses, which is a large number. In addition, there are nearly 20,000 Yunzhou fine horses. Although these war horses are our precious treasures in the Snowy Tianchi, with all due respect, the Snowy Tianchi cannot support so many war horses. First, our transportation capacity is insufficient and we cannot transport enough fodder from Shanhaiguan and Fusu Great Wall to raise horses. , Secondly, the Great Shang Dynasty is also raising horses. In the short term, they may sell fodder to us for the sake of your dignity, but in the long term it is basically impossible, which will also make the Great Shang Dynasty overwhelmed. "
"right."
Xiang Ji said in a deep voice: "Sir, back then Yunzhou boasted 530,000 cavalrymen, but not all of these cavalrymen were stationed in Tianji City for a long time. There were less than 20,000 Yunzhou cavalrymen stationed in Tianji City all year round. Most of them were The Yunzhou cavalry are all scattered in the three northern states, using the vast grasslands of each state and county to raise horses and station troops. In case of war, they can be regrouped with an order."
Lin Zhao had never thought about this kind of thing, and almost forgot that this "Tianxia" was pursuing absolute reality, rather than what he had thought before. Raising a hundred thousand cavalry in a tiny place in the snowy Tianchi? In fact, it was not possible at all.
Perhaps, the Han Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could only raise less than 200,000 cavalry with the whole nation, and the snowy Tianchi was far behind.
"Old General."
He looked at Xu Sheng and said with a smile: "Based on the judgment of the old general, how many cavalry is the most reasonable to keep in the snowy Tianchi?"
Xu Sheng frowned and said: "Back then, when the general was stationed in the Dongwu Kingdom, the entire Dongwu Kingdom only had 30,000 standing cavalry. With the current situation in the snowy Tianchi, raising 30,000 cavalry is the limit. The extra war horses and cavalry are
We can only go to other places to farm and graze, otherwise the snow-covered Tianchi will inevitably be overwhelmed."
"knew."
Lin Zhao nodded: "Do you think it is feasible to leave the grazing matters in the fields to the old general? We can provide more military pay, grain seeds, etc. to the sergeants in the fields. There is no problem with this. All expenditures will be done from the top of the mountain."
You can just walk here."
"yes!"
Xu Sheng cupped his fists and said, "I obey my orders!"
Chu Yu smiled faintly and said: "To the south of the Snowy Tianchi and to the north of the Muntjac Forest, most of the fertile fields for hundreds of miles are grasslands and mountain forest terrain, which is very suitable for farming and grazing. It is also close to the Snowy Tianchi. Once attacked by the snow
The cavalry on Yutianchi can go south for reinforcements at any time. We can set up this entire area as a farming area, and even recruit people to plant crops, herd horses, etc. If this war is destined to be a protracted war
, we should be prepared for this."
"Can."
Lin Zhao nodded with a smile. Xu Sheng was experienced in doing things, while Chu Yu was delicate in doing things, so he smiled and said: "Chu Yu, I will leave it to you to choose the area for settlement. You can freely deploy the manpower on the snowy Tianchi."
, Actually I’m not that greedy, I just hope that in the future, if I raise my arms and give a shout-out, you can bring me 200,000 snow-covered cavalry, we can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat, that’s it.”
Chu Yu cupped her fists and said with a smile: "I obey my orders!"
Zhi Zhi raised his lips slightly and just smiled. This kind of arrangement can be considered to be a good use of people, right? As long as Lin Zhao is here, the snowy Tianchi will surely prosper in the future!
…
The Ancestral Mountain of the Demon Clan, the Back Mountain, and the Demon Spirit Abyss.
On a mountain road covered with dry moss, a woman wearing a fiery red dress was walking slowly. The great demon Yuzai was the real person in charge of the entire demon clan and the first person under the demon ancestor.
Yu Zhi frowned lightly. In fact, she was extremely reluctant to step into this road. Every time she came to the Demon Spirit Abyss, her heart was as heavy as the grave. Why should I become a human wedding dress with the essence and blood that I have worked so hard to cultivate?
?It's a pity that she has to go even if she doesn't want to, because the original plan of "Blending Water and Fire" was made by her, but she didn't expect that the Demon Ancestor would be so ruthless, not even sparing the essence and blood of the Thirteenth Level Demon.
This shows how much Demon Ancestor relies on this direct disciple.
She came to the side of the abyss, raised an index finger, squeezed out a drop of golden blood and dripped it down.
Just when this drop of golden blood essence fell into the abyss, a manic and greedy energy rose into the sky, and then the wound seemed to be sucked by a force, and the second drop of blood essence was about to come out!
"Be bold!"
Yu Zhi frowned slightly, turned her palm over, sealed the wound, and forcefully forced back the second drop of blood. She looked down at the abyss, frowned and said: "Man Yuan, you even want to take away my cultivation.
?When you come out of the mountain in the future, won’t you even ignore me?”
"Yo~~~"
A sharp voice came from the abyss: "Master Yuzao is so petty. After I go out in the future, I will ask you to drink the blood of the human race. By the way, drink the blood of Lin Zhao and drink it with his head!"
"snort……"
Yu Zhi frowned and walked away. Compared to Lin Zhao, she actually hated this person at the bottom of the abyss more.
