Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 259

After Tang Ziyu announced the disbandment of the Tang Sect, although the disciples of the Tang Sect were puzzled, they did not have the ability to resist this decision.

Tang Lin's death had already reminded them.Had they resisted, the outcome would have been no different.

Su Yuan summoned a group of soldiers and let them take over the cities of Shuzhou.He took Tang Ziyu and others back with him.

On the way, he received letters from Zhao Yun and Qi Jiguang.

In the letter, the two explained the situation in Jiaozhou. After Su Yuan learned that many of the wealth in Jiaozhou had been robbed by several small countries in South Vietnam, he was also very angry.

In his opinion, these wealth belong to the people of Jiaozhou and cannot be taken away so easily.Moreover, the most hateful thing is Jiaozhou Yuanzhou Mu, who led his own troops to go abroad, and acted as a leading party to let foreigners rob the people under his original rule.

Su Yuan replied immediately, authorizing Zhao Yun and Qi Jiguang so that they could play by ear and act freely.

Not only that, he also sent an additional [-] summoned soldiers to support them.

There is no shortage of soldiers for Su Yuan now. He was in Shuzhou before, after the number of summons was refreshed, he summoned another [-] swordsmen.

This kind of ordinary soldier is not very useful to him now, but it is better than nothing.

And now he can change the equipment configuration by himself, thus changing the arms.

Regardless of whether they are cavalry, spearmen, archers, sword soldiers...he can give them muskets and let them "change jobs" into musketeers.

Every time the equipment is updated in the future, these summoned soldiers can change jobs along with it. This is equivalent to a group of soldiers who are constantly iteratively increasing their combat effectiveness and have long-term benefits.

Zhao Yun and Qi Jiguang, who received the reply, also gained confidence.

They regained Jiaozhou cities one after another, and in less than a week, they took back more than a dozen cities.

The only thing left in Jiaozhou is a small city near the Changhong River.

"Quick, load the ship!"

By the river, many South Vietnamese soldiers were anxiously moving boxes of belongings onto the sailboat.

These were snatched from various cities and sent here to be brought back to South Vietnam.

The person in charge of the command was a South Vietnamese man with a slick face and a well-dressed suit.

His name was Hu Wa, he was the younger brother of the king of Nanyue, and he was also the first person to lead troops to Jiaozhou.

He made a lot of money in Jiaozhou, and many looted property and people have been transported back to South Vietnam.Originally, according to the plan, it would take more than half a month to transport the rest, but unexpectedly, the Bei'an Army came to fight.

At first Hu Wa didn't take it seriously, thinking that the Bei'an army was not much stronger than the Dazhou army.As a result, the reality soon told him that if he didn't go, he would only die.

Those Bei'an soldiers are like demons, and killing them is as easy as killing a South Vietnamese soldier.

The South Vietnamese soldiers he brought totaled more than 6000 people, scattered in various cities in Jiaozhou.Up to now, only the one hundred and ten people around him are left, and all the others have been wiped out by the Bei'an Army.

When Huwa panicked, he didn't care about transporting more belongings. He just wanted to get the last batch, and he would never leave South Vietnam after he got it back.

Just as he was staring at the soldiers carrying them, he suddenly felt the ground shake slightly.

"what happened!?"

"Master Huva! It's not good!"

The soldiers in charge of guarding the front line of the city came to report.

"The Bei'an Army is here!"

"What? Why so fast?!"

As soon as Hu Wa heard that the Bei'an army was coming, he immediately ran to a fast boat without saying a word, and urged, "Hurry up, leave! I don't want anything!"

He can still tell whether life is more important than money.

It's a pity that even though he was enough to make a quick decision, he still underestimated the speed of a master-level master.

When the sentries found the Bei'an army, they were less than a few miles away. Zhao Yun's true energy was fully activated, and he rushed into the city in a short while.

When he reached the river, Huwa and some of his men had just started paddling and were still in sight.

"Want to escape? Hmph..."

Zhao Yun snorted coldly, stepped on the water, and walked on the water.

"Quick! Shoot the arrow!"

Hu Wa saw Zhao Yun who was chasing after him, and immediately ordered his men to shoot arrows.

But before the soldiers picked up their bows, Zhao Yun grasped the gentian silver spear with both hands, and threw it towards the river with all his might!
All the way!
He used [-]% of his real energy for this shot, and it hit the river surface, forming waves of surging waves!
How could the paddle boats of Hu Wa and others withstand such waves, they were overturned and fell into the water one after another.

Although most of these people could swim, the Changhong River was wide and fast-flowing, and there were sharp stones everywhere in the river. Many soldiers were washed onto the stones by the river water, causing wounds all over their bodies.

Being injured in the water will only aggravate the injury and make the blood flow faster.

What's even more frightening is that the end of the Changhong River is connected to the tropical rainforest, so there are scary fish in the river, piranhas, which are common in the rainforest!
These piranhas are very sensitive to the smell of blood. As soon as the South Vietnamese soldiers were injured and bled, large groups of piranhas came down from the upper reaches chasing the smell.

These extremely ugly fish species opened their mouths wide, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, biting wildly at the injured South Vietnamese soldiers.

The screams broke out uninterrupted, more blood gushed out, and the stronger smell of blood attracted more piranhas!
This freaked out Huva!
He, the king's younger brother, has lived a life of rich clothes and fine food since he was a child, so he has never encountered such danger.He didn't care about revealing his identity at the moment, he opened his arms in the water and shouted at Zhao Yun:
"Help me! I'm Huva, the younger brother of the king of South Vietnam! Help me! I'll give you money and gems!"

After destroying those boats, Zhao Yun had returned to the river, watching the piranhas attacking the South Vietnamese soldiers with cold eyes.

Hearing Hu Wa reveal his identity, his heart moved slightly.

The king's younger brother, seems to be an important figure.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he didn't take the man out of the river.

This is related to what he has seen and heard along the way.

They passed through many Jiaozhou cities, and many people in the cities cried bitterly when they saw the Bei'an army coming.

Countless people complained to the Bei'an Army that Zhou Mu had sold them all to the Nanyue Kingdom. When the soldiers from the Nanyue Kingdom arrived, they not only took away all the property that could be robbed, but also captured many people and sent them to South Vietnam as slaves.

The leader among them was a man named Huwa.

After Zhao Yun heard it, he was very angry.

Now, this Hu Wa said that he is the younger brother of the king, and Zhao Yun will not save him.

He just watched coldly as the piranhas gnawed Huwa into a skeleton.

Not long after, all the South Vietnamese soldiers who fell into the water were eaten up by piranhas.The school of fish circled around a few times before leaving.

At this time, Qi Jiguang led a large army to arrive.

"Piranhas... There are indeed many places like this."

Even though Qi Jiguang didn't see the piranhas attacking the South Vietnamese soldiers, he could guess it when he saw the skeletons in the river that had just been bitten.

Zhao Yundao: "General Qi, these piranhas won't be a threat when we cross the river, right?"

He himself is naturally not afraid of these things, but most of the soldiers are ordinary people.Just now the South Vietnamese soldiers in the river were replaced by the Bei'an Army, and I'm afraid the ending will not be much better.

Qi Jiguang said: "Don't worry, General Zhao. Only the smell of blood will strongly stimulate the piranhas. If there is no blood from injuries, the piranhas will not attack even if they swim in the river."

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved. By the way, the person who claimed to be Huwa just now died in the belly of the fish."

"Huva's dead too? That's a good thing."

Hu Wa was the leader of the South Vietnamese soldiers this time, and even if he died, he could give an explanation to the common people in Jiaozhou who had been hurt by him.

However, it is definitely not enough for him to sacrifice his life.

A large amount of wealth in Jiaozhou has been transported to South Vietnam, and the two of them will definitely take it back.On the one hand, they agreed to the people of Jiaozhou, and on the other hand, they also got the authorization of Su Yuan, crossing the river is inevitable.

"It's better to march to South Vietnam sooner rather than later. I think it's best to start tomorrow." Qi Jiguang said, "I'm afraid the other party will not receive the news that Hu Wa and others have all been wiped out by tomorrow. We should cross the river and launch a surprise attack. South Vietnam should be caught off guard." .”

"Well, that's it."

Zhao Yun agreed with Qi Jiguang's battle plan, and the two immediately went to discuss and formulate detailed rules.

……

On the other side, after Su Yuan returned to Xiangcheng, Yunzhou, Xun Yu had already asked about the enthronement ceremony.

Previously, Xun Yu formulated a new official position system. In this system, Su Yuan existed as a "sage", and other officials were unified as his envoys.

The Holy One is unique and supreme.The messenger, regardless of high or low, exists to carry out the will of the Holy One and convey warmth to the general public.

Such a new system is to deify Su Yuan in a certain sense, and it can be regarded as completely confirming the rumors of the common people that he is a "god descending to earth".

Su Yuan himself has considered this issue before. As a modern person, he doesn't like to deify people very much.But the problem is that in this day and age, ordinary people just follow this set.

Besides, predictably, his lifespan will be very, very long, I don't know how long he will live.

Xun Yu also discussed this issue with him.

Xun Yu's point of view is that even if Su Yuan doesn't deify himself, what will the common people think when they find that Su Yuan still looks young after 100 years?
This is no nonsense.

Su Yuan has seen it with his own eyes. He himself has power beyond that of a grand master. It is estimated that when he is 80 or 20 years old, he will have no problem maintaining his appearance in his [-]s.

At that time, if you tell the common people that I am not a god, will the common people believe it?
That's why Xun Yu suggested that Su Yuan should be deified directly, so that he could achieve it in one step.This will also save you trouble in the future.

I have to say that Xun Yu's words made Su Yuan feel very reasonable.If he has been ruling for a long time, deifying himself can also make the age problem more rational.

But there are definitely drawbacks to doing so.

That is, there may be some people with bad intentions who pretend to be gods and ghosts to deceive others.

For this reason, Su Yuan had to crack down on such people forcefully and catch them one by one.And try to make the common people believe that there is only one god in the world, and there is no other.

This is a long-term action and cannot be accomplished overnight.

Fortunately, the years are long, and Su Yuan has plenty of time to adjust.

So, with his approval, the capital became busy.

If Su Yuan wants to ascend the throne, he must be in the capital, not in Yunzhou.

The scenery of Yunzhou is good, but its strategic significance is far inferior to that of the capital, so after deciding to ascend the throne, Su Yuan took people back to the capital.

After he came back, he met with Lu Wuyou alone.

In the palace study, Lu Wuyou smiled and cupped his hands to Su Yuan: "Congratulations, my lord, with the occupation of Shuzhou and Jiaozhou, you have finally unified the whole country!"

Su Yuan nodded: "This is inseparable from the efforts of all the soldiers of the Bei'an Army."

"The prince is too modest."

As one of the first people who followed Su Yuan, Lu Wuyou didn't know that Su Yuan's ability to conquer such a huge country in less than a year had a lot to do with him personally.

As for the others, it's mostly icing on the cake.

At least Lu Wuyou himself is very self-aware, he knows that even without his subordinates, Su Yuan can still unify smoothly.So he never took credit for it.

"My lord, how do you plan to handle your enthronement ceremony?"

"Just mess around with it."

Su Yuan didn't intend to spend a lot of money and money just for a symbolic ceremony, that was completely inconsistent with his personality.

Besides, it's not like he just stopped doing anything after he became the throne... It's almost done in China, but it's still a mess abroad.

"The alliance formed by Xifeng Kingdom is eyeing them, and I plan to deal with them after I ascend the throne." Su Yuan said, "Therefore, the enthronement ceremony should be simple."

Lu Wuyou said: "What the lord said is very true. But simplicity does not mean simplicity, the lower officials will work with Master Xun Yu to make a good plan."

"Well, then it's hard for you."

"One more thing, my lord, about the enthronement ceremony, do you plan to invite some leaders from other countries?"

"This one……"

Su Yuan really didn't think about this issue.

Generally speaking, when a new leader of a big country comes to power, he will indeed invite some dignitaries from countries with good relations to attend the ceremony.In addition to seeing the ceremony, they may also take the opportunity to talk about some state affairs and sign some treaties by the way.

But foreign dignitaries who have a good relationship with Bei'an... To be honest, they don't have many hearts.

If you pick people with bad relationships, there are plenty of people who pick them.Good relationships are rare.

Especially overseas western countries...Maybe only the Saxon country is slightly better.The Saxon Kingdom has always had trade relations with Bei'an, and they did not cut off the trade because of the matter of the West Maple Kingdom. Even if it was to make money, they also undertook a lot of pressure.

From this point of view, you can try to invite.

"You can invite." Su Yuan said.

"Then do you have a list of candidates in mind?"

Su Yuan immediately thought of the girl with glazed eyes.

"The first daimyo to invite Dongwa, Kamsenle Reimu."

Since he came back from Dongwa, he hasn't seen her again, and he hasn't written to her again. It's good to have a chance to meet her now.

Lu Wuyou nodded to mark it down.

"Let's invite people from the Saxon country as well. It's a reward for them to maintain trade with us despite the pressure from Xi Feng and other countries. As for whether they come or not, it doesn't matter."

"Yes. Do you want to invite others?"

Su Yuan thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, just these two."

"The officer understands."

Lu Wuyou left.

Within two days, news of Su Yuan's enthronement spread.

And the envoy of Xiali Kingdom, who learned that he had not received the invitation, approached Lu Wuyou immediately, hoping to get a seat for the ceremony guests.
