This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 442 Returning to Beijing
Lu Yuanzhi looked at Wu Qianfeng with a sly smile.

This is the best subordinate I have ever met.

Not only does he have good talent, but most importantly, he is willing to follow me wholeheartedly.

If you could help him arrange his marriage, he would be willing to do so.

"My subordinate has resigned."

Wu Qianfeng didn't dare to look Lu Yuanzhi in the eye and just wanted to escape the scene as quickly as possible.

Looking at Wu Qianfeng's receding back, a sly smile flashed across Lu Yuanzhi's lips.

As Wu Qianfeng walked away.

The sound of footsteps was heard again in the big tent.

Lu Yuanzhi could tell without turning around that the person coming was Aunt Lengdan.

"Princess."

Lu Yuanzhi was taking care of the things in front of him leisurely, and the table was a little messy.

"Did Wu Qianfeng come here just now?"

Aunt Leng's voice is still so alluring.

Lu Yuanzhi smiled and nodded, then turned around and handed Aunt Lengdan a cup of tea he had just made, and said with a smile:
"Why do you have the time to worry about him?"

Aunt Leng Dan took the teacup naturally, took a sip, and sat opposite Lu Yuanzhi, saying solemnly:
"I think that with so many troops now, it would be a waste of effort to extend the battle line to... the Demon Capital."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded slowly. He could understand Aunt Lenglan's idea. After nodding, he slowly said:

"So a plan has been circling in my mind for a long time."

"what's the plan?"

Aunt Lengdan frowned with a puzzled look on her face. She casually placed the steaming teacup in her hand on the table and looked at Lu Yuanzhi quietly.

Lu Yuanzhi just laughed and said slowly:
"Princess, what do you say? If we conquer each mountain and use it as a boundary, and slowly build up the route for two years, our soldiers can use the mountain as baggage. After two years, we can gather at any time. Wouldn't that be great?"

"Can you stay here for two years?"

Aunt Lengdan's words immediately exposed Lu Yuanzhi's weakness.

She said calmly:

"Let alone two years, even five years would barely be enough to digest this land..."

"Isn't this about you?"

The corners of Lu Yuanzhi's mouth curled up slightly. He looked up and down at Aunt Leng Leng, then said seriously:
"I really want to capture the demon tribe's territory in one fell swoop and obtain logistical support for Dayong."

"I need someone to do this for me. I will leave all the giant chariots and giant engines here for you. After returning to Dayong, I will find some high-quality warriors to come to the border to assist you."

At this point, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were filled with an unprecedented light. He stared at Aunt Leng Dan and said:
"If you can really build this area into our Great Yong's territory, and use this place as a base to continuously transport supplies to the army, your contribution will be no less than that of Taizu and Taizong!"

"By then, even if you want to go further, you will have my full support!"

"shut up!!"

When Aunt Lengdan heard this, her expression changed immediately and she looked at Lu Yuanzhi coldly:
"Some things that are extremely treasonous cannot be said casually."

Lu Yuanzhi was not afraid at all. He still looked at Aunt Leng Dan seriously and said:
"I didn't say what it was, I just briefly talked about my cultivation. If you hadn't had this thought, why would you be so afraid?"

"you!"

Aunt Lengdan's expression froze for a moment, then she stood up with a bang and walked outside:

"Don't ever say this kind of thing again."

Looking at the cold aunt's back as she walked away, Lu Yuanzhi just narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something.

……

The next day.

Lu Yuanzhi led the team straight to Yaoshan.

After joining forces with Wu Qianfeng's army, the 120,000-strong army was like a stream of locusts passing through a border, with overwhelming force and no resistance.

Even the demons on Yao Mountain didn't even have time to resist and were directly crushed by Lu Yuanzhi's army.

We moved into Yaoshan that day.

This is the third mountain that Lu Yuanzhi occupied after Qishan and Pingdingshan.

Yaoshan is in a very good location. There is a flat plain ahead, and the grassland and the desert meet a thousand miles ahead.

After that is Vientiane Mountain.

Wanxiang Mountain is the heartland of the demon race, and the Treasure Elephant King among them is as strong as a fourth-grade realm warrior.

He has countless capable and brave generals under his command, enough to pose a threat to Lu Yuanzhi.

So this is also what Lu Yuanzhi is worried about.

Since it can pose a threat, it can stop the army's advance.

What the army needs most now is not fighting, but supplies.

Transporting materials from Dayong to here wastes too much manpower and material resources, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The daily consumption is an astronomical figure.

That's why Lu Yuanzhi came up with the idea of ​​slowing down the expedition against the demon tribe.

Every time they occupied a mountain, they would enslave the monsters on the mountain and use them to cultivate the land for their army...

The soil here is fertile. As long as there are seeds and a willingness to reclaim the wasteland, it won't take long to grow the best food for the army.

And this is also the granary that Lu Yuanzhi really wants.

The geographical location of the demon clan’s Wan Yao Mountain is really great.

There is absolutely no problem in growing crops here.

But who wants to stay here?
A large army?

It's difficult, as hundreds of thousands of troops come from the capital of Dayong.

Their hometown is Dayong Kyoto.

They would not say anything if they were allowed to stay here for a few years, but if they were told to stay here for the rest of their lives, I'm afraid they would desert before long.

This is human nature.

But these are all later stories. What Lu Yuanzhi needs now is to let them watch over the countless monsters in the mountains for him, let them farm for him, and provide strength for his army.

This is also a point that Lu Yuanzhi cares about very much.

"Marshal, an angel is coming."

A voice sounded in Lu Yuanzhi's tent.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Lu Yuanzhi's face.

There is no need to guess, it must be an imperial decree to confer a title on myself and allow me to continue to work in this demon land.

After receiving the imperial edict in a nonchalant manner, Lu Yuanzhi sent someone to take the angel to another camp.

Playing with the imperial edict in his hand, Lu Yuanzhi looked up at the generals in the tent.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

……

After Lu Yuanzhi finished speaking, all the generals looked at each other.

Aunt Lengdan had a stern face at this time, and her eyes were looking elsewhere. She didn't make any eye contact with Lu Yuanzhi at all.

It was obvious that Aunt Lengdan was still angry about yesterday.

It's just that she was so angry...

Lu Yuanzhi didn't think she was angry.

Because he had already planted a seed in her heart.

There is no precedent of women becoming emperors in this world.

Moreover, Aunt Lengdan was a fourth-rank warrior from the royal family, and could be said to be extremely talented. She also followed him in killing the Demon King, and this military achievement was absolutely unprecedented.

Now he followed me to the demon tribe and wanted to digest the demon tribe's territory and make it his own...

All these achievements added together are even better than those of any king who has maintained a stable status quo.

Even some of the most famous generals in the world may not have the qualifications and glory that Aunt Lenglan has.

After all, Aunt Lenglan followed Lord Ji and Lord Weiwu to participate in the Battle of Yumen Pass more than 20 years ago.

That battle really demonstrated the momentum of Dayong.

The three tribes remained obedient for more than 20 years.

And I took over the baton smoothly.

He killed the first demon king of the demon clan, and then sent troops to occupy all the demon clan's territory.

"No one is talking?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the generals slowly.

Everyone looked at him with a hint of doubt. "What do you think, Yongen?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Wu Qianfeng, who was sitting in the first seat on his right.

When Wu Qianfeng heard Lu Yuanzhi's name being called, he knew that he couldn't escape at this time. He slowly stood up, looked at Lu Yuanzhi, and said calmly:
"Cross the grassland and head straight to Wanxiang Mountain."

……

"well said."

Lu Yuanzhi applauded immediately.

Seeing Lu Yuanzhi applauding, all the generals were stunned.

How come it’s fine? Wasn’t this the original battle plan?
After hesitating for a moment, they followed Lu Yuanzhi in applauding.

"So, where are the supplies?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Wu Qianfeng and said with a smile on his face:
"If we are held back in Wanxiang Mountain, we will be completely rootless."

"Da Yong's food and fodder can't be delivered that far, and even if it can be delivered, it won't last long."

Five strikers are stuck.

In his impression, Marshal Lu was brave and invincible. No matter where he was, he just had to follow behind the Marshal and wait for him to kill the leader directly, and then he would lead the soldiers to kill the smaller ones.

The games have always been about quick battles that come and go like the wind, so how can we fight a solid battle?
"The commander-in-chief means..."

Wu Qianfeng looked at Lu Yuanzhi hesitantly.

"Set up camp right here."

Lu Yuanzhi simply uttered these four words.

Ok? ? ?
This idea made all the generals a little confused.

"Please explain more clearly, Marshal."

There was a general who looked at Lu Yuanzhi with gritted teeth.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't even look at him, but pointed at the map behind him:
"Now the three mountains of the demon tribe have been occupied by our army."

"These three mountains can be said to be the lifeline connecting Dayong and the demon race. As long as we control these three mountains, we can advance and retreat, and after a year or so of rest, we will be self-sufficient and will not need Dayong's supplies..."

"No way!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals were shocked and dumbfounded.

Someone quickly knelt on the ground:

"Marshal Lu, we are just following orders to march forward. How can we stay here for long?"

"Haha, this is the imperial decree given to me by the angel last night."

Lu Yuanzhi took it out directly, looked at everyone and said:

"They said they wanted me to be the Duke of the Northern Kingdom and asked me to do things as I saw fit."

Duke?? !!
Lu Yuanzhi's words shocked everyone.

Mother!

A twenty-year-old Duke? ?

Is this going against the will of heaven? ?
"Any other objections?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the generals calmly and continued:

"The army may seem mighty now, but in fact it is just a rootless duckweed. There are no less than 100,000 captured demon soldiers in these three mountains. These 100,000 demon soldiers can be trained completely..."

It may be said that the training is a bit ahead of its time.

But all the generals roughly understood what Lu Yuanzhi meant.

"I will leave 30,000 troops for you on each mountain to reclaim the wasteland. By the way, we will also disperse these 100,000 captives and keep them under strict supervision, so that our army can cultivate the land."

Speaking of this, Lu Yuanzhi said:

"Leave some people to trade with Dayong. These three mountains are vast and rich in resources, which is enough for the army's daily supplies."

After talking for a long time, someone finally responded.

Hai Wuyang's gaze kept lingering on Lu Yuanzhi:
"What about the Marshal?"

In the military camp, Hai Wuyang cannot call Lu Yuanzhi "big brother".

"I?"

Lu Yuanzhi's gaze slowly turned south.

"You don't have to worry about it."

"Of the three big mountains, Pingding Mountain will be guarded by your vanguard."

"There won't be any problems since Qishan has a giant arena there."

"And this Yaoshan..." Lu Yuanzhi looked at Aunt Leng with a smile on his face:

"Leave it to the princess."

"If the Wanxiang Mountain demon soldiers come to attack you, don't be polite, just beat them hard."

"The terrain here is dangerous and very suitable for training troops. If we train all the Yong troops into the Yuanyang Army, we won't be afraid even if the demon tribe attacks."

Hearing this, the generals looked at each other in bewilderment.

They knew the power of the Mandarin Duck Army.

Especially on this mountain road, the blow to the demon clan was almost devastating.

"As for me, Marshal..."

Lu Yuanzhi's mouth opened.

But no one heard it.

Only Hai Wuyang's ears were ringing.

"My uncle is probably about to be unable to hold on in the court, so I naturally have to go back to help him."

A look of confusion flashed across Hai Wuyang's face.

Seeing Hai Wuyang's confusion, Lu Yuanzhi's mouth curled up slightly.

He was obviously thinking of his former self.

In the officialdom, it was only thanks to the care of Mr. Ji and my uncle that I was not played into a fool by those cannibalistic officials.

After all, when I first entered the officialdom, I was almost like a rookie.

After being influenced by Mr. Ji and advised by my uncle over the years, I have almost seen through all the officialdom.

After all, he is a third-rank warrior. Not only has his martial arts skills improved, but his brain power has also naturally increased day by day.

When I first set out on the expedition, I didn't know anything and had to ask Aunt Lengdan all the time.

Until now, the three armies have been commanded in an orderly manner...

It took him less than a year.

Only a third-grade warrior could achieve such a terrifying growth rate.

Moreover, Lu Yuanzhi’s realm is now stuck at the peak of the third level.

If he wants to go further, he must go to Dayong.

Either go and ask the imperial teacher for clarification, or find another way.

Now Ji Gong’s body is still in his own scripture space.

He also wanted to resurrect Ji Gong.

Why would I want to play with those monsters?

The reason why he felt confident in keeping his generals here was actually because he relied on two points.

First, the Demon King was dead, and the backbone of the demon race was gone. Aunt Lengdan, Ju Lei, Ju Qing, Xian Ling'er, and Wu Qianfeng, a subordinate with a talent for leading troops, were enough to handle the situation here.

Second, the Mandarin Duck Army’s restraint on the demon tribe was too strong, and even he himself did not expect that they could fight like that.

The generals left Lu Yuanzhi's tent with their own thoughts.

Only Hai Wuyang and Lu Yuanzhi were left in the tent.

"Want to go back?"

Hai Wuyang pursed his lips and looked at Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi nodded lightly and said:
"Besides my uncle, I have some questions I want to ask the Imperial Master."

"How to go?"

"Of course, you and I should go together."

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at Hai Wuyang and said with a smile on his face:
"After we go back, your uncle will probably be very happy to see you."

"Happy???"

Hai Wuyang inexplicably thought of the long stick in his father's hand and shuddered.
