I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 515: Ten thousand cavalrymen can be as powerful as a million soldiers! Can I be the emperor?

Playing with memes is playing with memes.

But bullying a city guard did not bring Han Shao any sense of accomplishment.

After dropping the black horse, Han Shao's figure disappeared directly from the top of the city wall and sank into Youzhou City.

He didn't care at all about the powerful oppression and shock that his divine beast brought to the soldiers on the city wall.

"General, what...what should we do?"

The soldiers looked at Wuzhui, which had a majestic appearance and half the look of a dragon, with trembling expressions and did not dare to approach him at all.

It was because of the look of fear in the eyes of the city wall guard before Han Shao left that he swallowed hard and thought to himself that he had a bad luck.

After all, if it wasn't for bad luck, why did it happen to be my turn to be on duty today?
"What should we do? The Lord said to watch it, so let's just watch it! Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

When you are in a depressed mood, your tone of voice is naturally not good.

But who would have known that his words, which were obviously filled with shame and anger, would actually cause a sneer.

The commander guarding the city wall was extremely angry.

"Who? Who's laughing!"

You're getting a little scared, aren't you?

I am afraid of the Duke of Yan, but you don’t know how to fear me?

Then wouldn’t my service as a defender be in vain?
He looked around with murderous intent, but he didn't expect that the 'culprit' would jump out on his own initiative.

"I was the one who laughed, do you have any objection?"

Looking at the horse's mouth with its sharp teeth bared, there was a dead silence on the city wall.

"Big...big demon!"

Glancing at the pale-faced general on the city wall, Wu Zhui showed a touch of human disdain and mockery.

"It's quite knowledgeable."

He snorted as he spoke, and then paced back and forth for a while, ignoring the people on the city wall, as if considering this provincial capital city which was supposed to be the heart of Youzhou.

"Did you hear what my master said just now? He asked you to serve him well, why don't you get ready?"

Um, isn't it enough for us to just keep an eye on you?

Everyone on the city wall looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I wonder...what does your Excellency require us to prepare?"

You see, these warriors just don't know how to deal with things.

I finally got to go on a business trip with the protagonist, isn't it just for business entertainment?
"I've been eating too much vegetarian food lately. Bring me some good wine and good meat."

No one doubts that a horse will not eat grass but must eat meat and wine.

Just as he was hurriedly sending people down to prepare, Wu Zhui thought for a moment and added.

"Don't forget to bring a few fillies along—"

"Let me make it clear first, I'm not lecherous. I just want to make two more friends."

"My master said, more friends mean more paths!"

Hearing this righteous tone, the corners of the mouths of the people on the city wall twitched, but they did not dare to refute.

Under the tyranny, we could only hold our noses and do as they were told.

While his evil beast was killing the defenders on the city wall, Han Shao had already appeared in the governor's mansion.

Han Shao, who was quite outgoing and familiar with the place, did not need anyone to lead him. He just treated this place as his own territory. After sensing the atmosphere slightly, he appeared in front of Youzhou Mu Yuan Feng.

Seeing the governor's face turn pale, Han Shao sat down, waved his sleeves and laughed.

"It's been a while since we last met. The governor is even more dignified than before!"

Yuan Feng snorted coldly.

"No match for Lord Yan's domineering attitude."

Han Shao shook his head.

"It seems that the governor has some misunderstandings about me. Who among those who know me doesn't say that I am approachable and very easy to get along with?"

Well, the tall Jingguans built in the Youbei grasslands, the Yuyang Zheng family and other aristocratic families whose entire clans were wiped out, would certainly agree with this statement.

A plain, strange, and clean person.

Those who had different opinions were all killed. Who could still deny what Han said?
Yuan Feng had a dull expression on his face.

I was too lazy to continue beating around the bush with this warrior, so I just went straight to the point.

"Tell me, Lord Yan, how are you going to repay this old man's favor?"

As he spoke, his voice paused, and then a hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I have been living peacefully in Youzhou City all day long, and have never made enemies or grudges with anyone. I really don't know where I need to use Lord Yan's favor."

Over the years, he seemed to have only been guarding the small piece of land around Youzhou City, and even allowed Gongsun Du and Li Wenjing to sideline him as the governor of Youzhou.

Most of Youzhou’s financial resources were used to support the army that suppressed Liao.

This is the case internally, not to mention externally.

Everyone in the world has heard of his reputation as a paper governor, and whenever there is any trouble in the neighboring states, it has nothing to do with him, Yuan Feng.

Why would such a clay Buddha cause any trouble for him to use the favor he had worked so hard to make Han Shao owe him?

In response, Han Shao smiled without commenting.

"The governor seems very confident?"

Yuan Feng responded with a disdainful expression, but before he could say anything, Han Shao continued.

“I hope the governor can be so confident when facing Huang Tiandao.”

Yuan Feng was stunned when he heard this.

"What do you mean?"

Han Shao chuckled.

"literal meaning."

As he spoke, Han Shao took out a confidential document submitted by the Six Gates from his arms.

"People have no intention of beating tigers, but tigers have the intention of hurting people."

"The governor wants to live a peaceful life, but he may not be able to do so!"

Yuan Feng took the secret document hesitantly, unfolded it and glanced at it, his face suddenly changed.

"How could this be?"

It was clearly written on the secret document that many people in ochre yellow Taoist robes were already in various counties and prefectures in Younan, performing magic spells and preaching in secret.

Nowadays, many ordinary families offer incense to the Three Dukes and Generals.

Yuan Feng clenched the secret document in his hand into a ball, his expression changed for a while, and then he said with a dark face and gritted teeth.

"He...how dare they!"

Since October 15th last year, the Huangtian thief sect has swept across the eight states of the world with an almost earth-shattering force, and the entire Huangtian sect has been regarded as a rebel by the people of the world.

Anyone who follows this sect in any province or county must be executed!

But now, in Youzhou! Right under the nose of him, the governor of Youzhou!
There is actually a Huang Tian thief who preaches this kind of thing!

No matter how well these Huang Tian thieves hide, or how secretly they act, they will not be able to remain completely silent over time.

The only possibility is that those county officials and noble families deliberately covered up for them!

There is even a high possibility that they have already switched to Huang Tiandao!
Therefore, the "they" Yuan Feng mentioned at this moment did not refer to the ordinary people who had already believed in Huang Tiandao, but the noble families in the counties and prefectures!
"Are these true?"

Faced with Yuan Feng's "dying struggle", Han Shao's face darkened and he looked a little unhappy.

"Does the governor doubt my ability? Or does he think I'm bored and have the time to joke with him?"

Yuan Feng's face froze, and then he smiled awkwardly.

"Misunderstanding! That's not what I meant."

After giving a somewhat stiff explanation, Yuan Feng was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively.

"Lord Yan said he wanted to eradicate the bandit problem. Is he also going to eradicate... this bandit?"

This is quite interesting.

Han Shao narrowed his eyes and looked at the Youzhou governor with a playful smile.

"From what the governor said, in addition to these Huang Tian bandits, are there any other bandit problems in Youzhou?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng's face, which had been gloomy since Han Shao entered the room, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Mr. Yan has something else in his words!"

After saying that, he changed the subject and skipped over this topic, his expression becoming serious.

"I accept this favor, Lord Yan!"

"These Huang Tian rebels are extremely harmful. If they gather their forces like those in the eight states, it will be a disaster!"

Even if they cannot gather the same momentum as the eight states, as long as they can gain a foothold in Youzhou, with the help of internal and external forces, the vast Huangtian will be able to sweep across and advance straight into the land!
Although Yuan Feng, as a former close minister of the emperor, had become somewhat decadent in recent years, it was impossible for him to be so foolish as to sit back and watch those thieves of Huang Tian grow stronger in Youzhou.

Therefore, when faced with Han Shao's false claim that he was invited to send troops south, he not only had to admit it, but also had to accept this favor.

After saying this, he even felt a little resentful and dissatisfied.

"Lord Yan is a little too stingy. Could it be that my favor is only worth these ten thousand cavalrymen?"

Are you dissatisfied that there are not enough people sent by you?
Han Shao burst into laughter, and after he finished laughing, he said lightly.

"Quality is more important than quantity. The men under my command are all elite warriors in the world who can defeat a hundred with one!"

"Perhaps in the eyes of the governor, it is just ten thousand cavalrymen, but in my opinion, my ten thousand cavalrymen are as powerful as a million soldiers!"

One is worth a hundred!
Ten thousand cavalrymen are as effective as a million soldiers!
What an arrogant tone it was, but judging from Han Shao's expression at the moment and his impressive past achievements, one could not help but feel convinced.

Yuan Feng was stunned for a long time because of Han Shao's words. After a short moment, he confirmed it again.

"Is that enough?" "Do you want me to transfer some more troops from the city garrison to join forces?"

Upon hearing this, Han Shao looked at Yuan Feng strangely, and then said with some displeasure.

"I have good intentions and came here to repay the governor's favor. Why would the governor want to harm me?"

Harm him?

I do not have it!

Yuan Feng looked innocent and puzzled, and it took him a while to realize what Han Shao meant.

What he meant was that if those useless people under your command followed my army, they would only drag down and harm his men.

Such a blatant slap in the face, even though Yuan Feng could endure it, he couldn't help but feel humiliated at this moment.

"Mr. Yan, this is too much."

Too much?

Han Shao said bluntly.

"The governor of the state should know himself."

After saying this, he stood up neatly without giving Yuan Feng, whose face was distorted, a chance to refute.

"That's it!"

"I have settled the matter with the governor. From now on, we are even."

"If we have any more personal connections in the future, we'll discuss it separately."

Han Shao always likes win-win situations.

Because this way he can win at least twice.

This time, not only did he repay the favor that Yuan Feng had secretly helped Gongsun Du to unite with the Dao, but he also got his own affairs done in a natural way.

It's really delightful!
But this is not so pleasant for the other party.

Looking at the back of someone disappearing with his teeth bared, the Youzhou Mu, who was always as calm and composed as a clay Buddha, crushed the wine cup in his hand and threw it to the ground with a look of anger.

Still not feeling satisfied, he swept the odds and ends on the table in front of him to the floor.

"These bastard warriors are so arrogant and outspoken!"

"A man! A man!"

After venting for a while, Yuan Feng, whose emotions gradually calmed down, suddenly asked into the void.

"What do you think of this Duke of Yan?"

The figure that walked slowly out of the void glanced at the mess on the ground, and then sighed after pondering for a while.

“It’s hard to see through, but it’s definitely not simple.”

Aggression and lack of courtesy are just appearances.

Just from the fact that the other party had already spread his tentacles throughout Youzhou, it can be seen that this Duke of Yan is not a simple person.

At least... have a big heart!

Yuan Feng obviously realized this and also sighed.

"It is really puzzling that a dragon appeared in the mud!"

A small soldier in the frontier army, who came from a humble family, could achieve such an incredible rapid rise in cultivation that it could barely be explained by talent.

But means, mentality, vision...these cannot be compensated by talent.

This requires time to accumulate, and even the blessing of family inheritance from generation to generation.

Yuan Feng, who was quite confused about this, frowned in distress.

At this moment, the figure in front of him hesitated.

"Are we just going to let him lead his men to wipe out those Huang Tiandao?"

Yuan Feng rubbed his brows with a headache and asked back.

"What else? Tell him that I have connections with Huang Tiandao, and ask him to show mercy?"

This sounds like dark humor.

The figure opposite smiled awkwardly, then said with a headache.

"But if we do this, our connection with Huang Tiandao will be cut off!"

"Without Huang Tiandao to help you, your great cause will probably encounter more setbacks."

Hearing this, Yuan Feng sneered.

"Who said it's broken?"

"They are just ordinary disciples. If they die, they die. Taoist master Zhang Xian won't care."

"The Zhen Liao Army won't stay there forever. We can ask the other side to send some more over."

On the chessboard of the big man, you lose a piece, I lose a piece, but as long as the game is not over, we just keep replenishing.

How can you play chess if you care about the life or death of the chess pieces?
The only thing that made Yuan Feng feel sorry was...

"What a pity, this old man has to do me a favor."

Fuck!
It's so frustrating just thinking about it. Using my personal connections to mess up the plan I worked so hard to set up.

Even for this, we should still be grateful to him!
How pathetic and suffocating!

Fortunately, Huang Tiandao attracted Youbei's attention for him, and he was able to maintain his base.

Thinking of this, but for the sake of safety, Yuan Feng slowly exhaled and said.

"I'll have someone prepare wine and meat later, and on the pretext that food and fodder still need to be prepared, I'll keep them outside Youzhou City for at least two days."

"Let our people go south to Zhuozhou in the next two days."

Youzhou and Zhuozhou were originally part of the ancient Yan State.

Zhuozhou was smaller and even belonged to Youzhou for a long time.

It was not until the founding of the Dayong Dynasty that it was divided into two states.

The figure who was obviously acting as a military advisor and staff member hesitated when he heard this.

"My lord, is it necessary to mobilize so many troops?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng glared at him.

“Don’t take any chances.”

“In all things, be prepared for the worst.”

"I have been planning this for so long, and even had to tolerate Gongsun Du and Li Wenjing for so many years, in exchange for keeping to ourselves and not interfering with each other. I will never allow anything to go wrong!"

Seeing that Yuan Feng's tone was unfriendly, the aide bowed and accepted the order without further refutation.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Feng's expression softened. After saying a few words of comfort, he slowly stood up from his seat.

With the help of his divine consciousness, his gaze penetrated the barrier of space and fell directly on the black-armored troops outside the city with their solemn appearance and overwhelming momentum. A glimmer of desire flashed in Yuan Feng's eyes.

If we have the support of such a strong army, it will surely be a great help to our great cause.

"Youzhou has the air of an emperor..."

"It's ridiculous that Shi Bi, that little barbarian slave, actually thought that fate was in his hands, without even thinking about whether he deserved it."

It is still possible to raise dragons in the bitter, cold and barren grassland.

Emperor?

How stupid!
A hint of mockery appeared on Yuan Feng's face.

But then it turned into a sigh of emotion.

"Daocheng, this old man has been walking on thin ice all his life. Can he make it to the other side?"

If he had not firmly believed that 'Youzhou has the aura of an emperor', how could he have gone to so much trouble to give up his status as a close minister of the emperor and travel to the remote area of ​​Youzhou to become the governor of a state?
How could he, in order to make His Majesty completely disappointed, turn his attention away from himself? He has accomplished nothing in Youzhou for so many years and even bears the ridiculous infamy of being a paper governor?
"You said... can I really be the emperor?"

Hearing the hesitation in Yuan Feng's words, the aide named Daocheng lowered his brows and a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.

Then he lifted his tone and said firmly.

"The governor of the state is a man of destiny! Now he is in charge of Youzhou, nurturing the aura of the emperor here!"

"As long as the time is right, we will be able to rise up and sweep across the world!"

Hearing such an affirmative tone, Yuan Feng turned around and glanced at Daocheng.

Maybe it’s because there’s a word “誠” in the other person’s name.

Or maybe... the other party is the remnant of the Qi-Watching Master lineage.

Yuan Feng's eyes, which had been dulled by the years, finally shone brightly again.

Then he said in a serious and solemn tone.

"I believe you."

"When I accomplish my great mission in the future, I will kill all the Ji clan members for you to avenge the massacre of your master!"

Upon hearing this, Daocheng bowed his head solemnly and paid homage with great respect.

While he was expressing his gratitude with great joy, there was no extra expression on his face as he prostrated himself on the ground.

He just wanted to use one person to disrupt the world of the Ji family.

As for who this person is, it doesn’t really matter.

In the past, he felt that success or failure was very important.

But now, it doesn’t seem so important.

Because he is not the only one doing the same thing.

He failed, and so did others.

Take the disciple named Zhou that his senior brother accepted before his death, for example, wasn’t he doing very well?
