All the disciples of Wanxiang Mountain looked at each other. Although they were surprised by the young master, they had no doubts about his words.
Without him, the imperial court's wanted order had been circulated for several months, and the young master uncle in front of him had an unrivaled reputation in the world and in the temples.
However, martial arts alone can defeat the hundreds of thousands of rebels in the Northwest Road?
Several people were suspicious, but they had no choice but to follow silently.
The old man was the closest to him, answering some of Yang Yu's doubts, taking the initiative to check and fill in the gaps, and also guessing what his junior uncle had in mind.
Thanks to the spread of the wanted order and the Splendid Mountains and Rivers List, he had no doubts about the martial arts of the man in front of him.
But some things cannot be solved by high martial arts skills.
Could it be that there are other calculations?
"Although Yandong Jun nominally occupies all three states, except for Juzhou, the two groups of rebels in the other two states are only nominally dominated by him.
Because of this, he has not dared to attack Daocheng..."
The old man's name was Qi Wensheng, a nominal disciple of Wanxiang Mountain. He was a disciple who had listened to Wang Muzhi's lectures but had not formally become a disciple.
Yang Yu nodded, and after he finished speaking, he asked:
"How is Yan Dongjun's reputation on the Northwest Road?"
"Poor, extremely bad!"
This answer was no surprise to Yang Yu. What he saw along the way was not a trace of the rebels. Some were just rebels who burned, killed and looted.
And the soldiers who were scattered and had the same plundering temperament.
only….
"Yandong Jun is somewhat capable, but he has no foundation. Most of those who follow him are powerful thieves and homeless gangsters. It is naturally impossible to enforce strict military discipline."
Qi Wensheng shook his head and sneered:
"After he started the uprising, I don't know how many people responded in the three prefectures and twenty-nine prefectures, but most of them were nominally obeying him, and many were villains who took the opportunity to plunder..."
"This group of people can't afford to start early without any benefit. What kind of military discipline do they know?"
Qi Wensheng's words were full of indignation:
"Poor those people. I thought that with the arrival of the rebels, they would no longer be subject to the imperial court's tyranny, but I never expected that Lord Yan Dong would use them directly to reward the three armies."
At this point, Yang Yu was somewhat silent.
The chaos on the Northwest Road was mentioned more than once in Wang Muzhi's intelligence. However, when he actually came here, the impact he received was far beyond the words in the intelligence.
“The imperial court imposed excessive levies and expropriations, and the people were in dire straits. The rebels burned, killed, and looted, leaving no way for them to survive...
Some disciples couldn't help but beat their thighs with anger on their faces.
Most of the disciples in Wanxiang Mountain are from the common people, and few come from wealthy families. What they have seen and heard in the past few months has made them really have no good impression of these so-called 'rebels'.
"In troubled times, this is how it is, but what can we do about it?"
Qi Wensheng sighed and looked at Yang Yu. As he spoke, he was always paying attention to the young uncle, but unfortunately, he didn't see anything.
"What do you think, Uncle Master?"
He naturally knew that this young uncle's martial arts skills were extremely high, but there were some things that simply could not be solved by his martial arts skills.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, can one person sweep hundreds of thousands of rebels and ruffians along the Northwest Road?
"Is there a decent blacksmith shop in Pingshui County?"
Yang Prison spoke.
In the illusion of Wanxiang Mountain, the two-edged sword was cut into two pieces. I came to the northwest path and wanted to find some black iron and recast it.
"ah?"
Qi Wensheng was stunned.
Once again, he doubted the teacher's vision and wanted to question it, but he didn't dare. He had to answer dully:
"The northwest is rich in minerals, rich in iron and rare metals. Every prefecture and county has a blacksmith shop, but the best blacksmith shops are still in Zhoucheng and Daocheng...
"Enter the city."
Yang Yu urged his horse forward, heading towards Pingshui County.
Today is different from the past.
With his current practice, not to mention a prefecture or a county, even a state can run rampant without restraint, and a few rebels will not be considered troublesome from afar.
Moreover, he is not unavailable...
As soon as his mind moved slightly, in the Cauldron of Gluttony, the evil-suppressing seal suddenly glowed with a glorious light, and the soul chain that no one could see trembled slightly, leading to an extremely distant place.
Baizhou, Lanshanguan.
Whoosh!
The cold wind howled and the snow fell heavily.
There was a huge amount of heat rising somewhere in the Lanshang Pass, and the wind and snow within a radius of ten feet were melted, making it impossible to get close.
In the small courtyard, there is a large cauldron. Under the cauldron, there is a blazing flame, and the hot liquid is emitting bubbles.
In the steaming mist, a naked giant man could be seen immersed in it.
"Not a human being, not a human being"
Despite the steaming heat wave, Li Eryi cursed in his heart, but he still had to bite the bullet and approach. Following the instructions of the man in the cauldron, he dumped a large amount of medicinal materials and elixirs.
"call!"
"suck!"
The extremely long breath was swept by the heat wave, making Li Eryi approach and retreat in embarrassment.
"well!"
Wiping the sweat beads, Li Eryi looked dull.
He has been trapped in the Lanshan Pass for several months. He really doesn't know what the person in the cauldron sees in him. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the Lanshan Pass, but he has chosen to serve him.
call!
At a certain moment, Li Eryi shuddered as his breathing stagnated, and he saw a pair of torches lighting up in the steam.
"Old Li."
A hoarse voice came out, and Li Er leaned forward and squeezed out a smile:
"General Fang, you're awake...
"Um."
Yang Yu, who came here through the Evil Suppressing Seal, saw a smile on his cold face through the water vapor.
The completion of the evil-suppressing seal ceremony made him more able to control several living dead, and he could control them even if he was in a different place.
In the past few months, Living Dead No. 2 not only became familiar with the military affairs of the Baizhou Army, but also finally recovered from his serious injuries. The furnace was ignited and full of vitality.
There is no trace of the living dead.
"Is there anything major happening in the army these days?"
Yang Yu asked.
He has always been wary of the Fang family, and the person he trusts the most is of course Li Eryi, although he is only a storyteller with limited talents.
"No, no?"
Li Eryi's smile was a little stiff. After thinking for a while, he followed the example of those swordsmen and penmen before and reported:
"...Several commanders of the Fang family are very dissatisfied with you for dismissing their own family members, promoting poor people, and forming a new army. A few days ago, they went to the general's retreat place to complain, but they were scolded back..."
"anything else?"
Yang Prison asked again.
The Baizhou Army is not the Fang family's private army. Even if Fang Zhenghao had similar thoughts, there are actually not many people available to the Fang family.
Even with all the favoritism, the sixteen commanders only occupied seven places.
A few days ago, he dismissed a member of the Fang family who had doubts about him, promoted Yu Taoist to a higher position, and formed a new army, which caused an uproar and repeated attacks from the Fang family.
However, he naturally didn't care much.
Except for Fang Liexue, there is no one in the Fang family who can light the furnace. Unless his identity is exposed, there is no way Fang Zhenghao will let them take charge of the army.
"besides…"
Li Eryi thought for a while:
"The invitation you sent to the Vice-President of Lanshan Academy, 'Feng Junzi', was returned by him."
"Go back..."
Yang Yu frowned slightly.
Feng Junzi is Wang Muzhi's junior fellow apprentice, and is listed as the Six Gentlemen of the Xu family. He is very famous in Baizhou, and Lanshan Academy is headed by him.
Many junior generals in the Baizhou Army are considered his disciples.
"That's it, come back, just come back."
Yang Yu stood up, stepped out of the hot medicine cauldron, put on his clothes, and handed a letter he had written long ago to Li Eryi.
"This letter?"
Li Eryi was slightly startled: "Xie Qi, who is it?" "An old friend."
Yang Yu didn't say much, and waved his hand to signal him to retreat. Not long after, Taoist Yu, holding a long sword in his arms, walked out slowly.
He is the only person in Banshang Pass who knows his identity.
"Yang Daxia is indeed a god. He has only been established at a young age, and he is already ranked among the mountains and rivers. In the future, I am afraid that he will become a martial saint."
Taoist Yu's expression was quite complicated, and his heart was full of fear.
When he saw the wanted poster and the mountain and river list for the first time, his whole body was numb.
He never dreamed that Yang Yu, who was fighting fiercely with Fang Lie a few months ago, would actually overwhelm Wei Zhengxian in just a few months and become the greatest master in Longyuan Dao, second only to Wang Muzhi.
Not only that, his courage is incredible, he dares to scold that person...
"How about the new army?"
Yang Prison asked.
Having entered Lanshan Pass and having great power, he naturally did not take any action. In the past few months, through Yu Taoist, he had also been reorganizing the new army.
"It will only take a few months to rectify the situation. You have to go by yourself. Fortunately, I am a martial artist. It is really difficult for me to win the trust of these soldiers."
Taoist Yu shook his head and hesitated:
"General Fang is just in seclusion. If he is exposed, you are not afraid, but I am."
"Stop talking nonsense. I want you to prepare the people, are you ready?"
Yang Yu decisively ended the topic.
Over the years, he has met many masters, but there is only one who cherishes his life so much.
"Be prepared, I'm actually ready. With Kuni and I leading the way, eight hundred elites can suppress an entire city, but..."
Taoist Yu thought:
"Are you sure that there will be no danger in this trip? That Yan Dongjun has a great master under his command..."
As the list of mountains and rivers spread all over the world, he completely gave up the idea of informing.
With the martial arts skills of the man in front of him, unless Fang Zhenghao makes a huge breakthrough, he is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself. If there is no breakthrough, he is afraid that the Baizhou Army will change hands...
In this case, given his temperament, he naturally cooperated.
Phew~
Yang Yu waved his hand, the fire went out, and the medicine on his body also evaporated:
"I'm in the northwest, what are you afraid of?"
"That's true..."
Taoist Yu thought for a while, and although he didn't want to admit it, he still nodded.
Longyuan Road is the frontier, and the generals of the three states are the top choices. It is not comparable to other states. The man in front of him can even defeat the three heroes of Longyuan. I am afraid that few in the Northwest Road can threaten him.
but.…
Let's talk it over first. If you can't do it, you have to allow me to go back."
"."
Despite Yang Yu's state of mind, he almost couldn't hold himself back and glanced coldly:
