I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 525: Yuan family nobles! Extremely vicious!
You painstakingly crafted a peerless magical weapon, hoping that one day you will be able to dominate the world with it.

But unexpectedly, this magical weapon was chopped into pieces by the thief who broke into the door before it was unsheathed.

This strong sense of loss and humiliation is enough to make anyone lose composure.

Yuan Feng is probably in this state at the moment.

To be honest, the private soldiers he raised were no match for the ordinary men of the Zhen Liao Army, and he was mentally prepared for this.

Otherwise, he would not have subconsciously chosen to avoid when the other party came to attack.

However, this psychological preparation did not include the fact that even when our side outnumbered the enemy several times, we still collapsed at the first blow.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the enemy split the entire army into two halves in a head-on confrontation and killed them all.

Then it was chopping melons and vegetables all the way -

No! It is not accurate to describe it as chopping melons and vegetables.

After all, chopping melons and vegetables is not that easy.

This is not a war!
This is a one-sided massacre!

It's even more shameful!

It's a disgrace to him as the governor!

The poor man was using this method to tell Yuan Feng and everyone else at the same time.

"What the governor's so-called layout and planning are like child's play in front of the iron hoofs and long knives of a certain family?"

humiliation!

It's a blatant threat!

"You brat! How dare you bully me like this!"

Shame and anger mixed with a hint of uneasiness made this governor, who stood at the pinnacle of the world, stand with his hair and beard standing on end and look extremely angry.

Seeing that Yuan Feng was about to lose his mind, Dao Cheng hurriedly comforted him.

"The governor calmed down! This is actually a good thing!"

good thing?

The Honshu no Mu's face was swollen after being beaten, and you tell me this is a good thing?
Under the terrifying pressure of Jiujing Taiyi, Daocheng's soul was almost crushed, and he spoke with difficulty.

"Try... just imagine, if we wait until the governor of the state starts a rebellion and then we end up in a situation like today, that would be a real dilemma!"

indeed.

It is always better to expose the problem in advance than to wait until it happens.

When he thought about the situation that if he really relied on these good-for-nothings to start a rebellion in the future and was destroyed overnight when facing that kid named Han, Yuan Feng couldn't imagine it.

After all, if that happens, you will definitely become a laughing stock of the world.

It is highly likely that you will leave your name in history, but will also be ridiculed by future generations.

Seeing Yuan Feng standing there stiffly, with a hint of fear in his eyes, Daocheng felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.

Be far-sighted, tolerant, and have the overall situation in mind.

Before ordinary people noticed the signs of changes in the world situation, the governor of Yuanzhou had already determined that the Yongji clan's empire was about to collapse.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be bewitched by a few words from himself.

These are Yuan Feng's strengths, and also the reason why Daocheng chose him in the first place.

It’s a pity that his background and later achievements made him too far away from the real world.

After so many years in Youzhou, it seemed that I had done a lot of things in secret, but when they were put on the table, I found that almost all of them were useless.

This is also a common problem among the aristocratic families nowadays.

They hang high in the sky, and the whole world can be seen with just a raise of their eyelids, and the world situation can be seen with just a word of their lips.

When the time comes, they suddenly realize that everything is completely different from what they originally planned.

Take Yuan Feng for example.

The Yuan family of Runan has produced many nobles for generations, and Yuan Feng is an even more outstanding person of this time.

But Daocheng just wanted to ask Yuan Feng, among all these private armies you have secretly raised over the years, apart from knowing an approximate number, how many names can you name?
Many things and many people in this world are not the black and white pieces on the chessboard you play with all day long.

He sighed in his heart and looked extremely terrified.

"Please ask the governor to stop using his divine power... Daocheng's cultivation is shallow and he really can't bear it..."

The Nine Realms Heavenly Power gradually dissipated. Looking at Daocheng's pale face and sweaty appearance, Yuan Feng lost a bit of his past enthusiasm and closeness, and spoke in a cold tone.

"Now that things have come to this, what should we do next? Do you have any plans?"

Daocheng was personally responsible for many matters related to the maintenance of private armies.

Now that things have obviously gone wrong, it is normal for him to feel resentful.

Daocheng did not dare to show the slightest bit of surprise at this.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke.

"It's just the loss of some abandoned pieces. The governor doesn't need to worry too much. It's just... it's just a loss of face."

According to Yuan Feng's previous arrangements, these people were indeed the pawns abandoned by Yuan Feng.

At this moment, Yuan Feng couldn't help but secretly thank himself for his previous caution.

However, he was very dissatisfied with Daocheng's response.

Because that's not what he asked.

What he wanted to ask was why the Zhen Liao Army's mere 10,000 cavalrymen were so powerful. Compared with them, although the so-called powerful soldiers he had raised were numerous, they would obviously be no match if they really fought against them.

It’s just that it’s hard to say that I’m not as skilled as others. Yuan Feng hesitated for a while and suddenly said.

"You say... should I learn from his Zhen Liao army and conserve the essence instead of the quantity?"

After what happened today, he finally came to his senses.

What happens on the battlefield is not a simple matter of addition and subtraction.

It is not necessarily the case that a large number of ants can kill an elephant.

When two armies fight, once one of them breaks down, there will often be an absurd scene where a dozen people chase and hack hundreds of people.

However, Daocheng denied Yuan Feng's idea without even thinking about it.

"Governor, this won't work."

Yuan Feng was puzzled.

"Why not?"

Daocheng was helpless, "Although Daocheng is not very proficient in battle formations, he knows that everyone has their own specialties."

"The backbone of the Zhen Liao army lies in Liaodong Gongsun and the military strategist."

"To fight against the strong with the strong is like using our own weakness to attack the strong with the strong. We are bound to lose!"

Daocheng's tone was decisive, and Yuan Feng's face became even uglier.

"That won't work, that won't work! So what do you think we should do?"

For the sake of the phrase 'Youzhou has the air of an emperor', he has gambled everything, even at the cost of being away from the center and personally severing the trust and connection that he had built with great difficulty with Emperor Taikang.

After paying such a huge price, if there is nothing to gain, he cannot accept it, and the Yuan family behind him cannot accept it even more!
Seeing the irritation on Yuan Feng's face, Daocheng hurriedly said.

"Don't worry, Governor!"

"No matter how strong his army is, it can only be confined to one place. But the governor is different. He has the support of the Yuan family!"

"The wealth and provisions are far beyond what the Duke of Yan and the Gongsun of Liaodong can compare to! This is the strength of the governor!"

"If we cannot defeat him with three times his strength, then we will use ten or twenty times his strength!"

In a nutshell, great force can make bricks fly!
Even if you use a pile, you can still kill the opponent!

As for the stupid method proposed by Daocheng, Yuan Feng subconsciously wanted to yell at him.

Do you think that the money and food of my Yuan family came from the wind?
But on second thought, I have to admit that this seems to be the only way at the moment.

The Yuan family has been nobles for generations. Although they are not as rich as a country, they have accumulated a lot of wealth.

This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Feng was able to sit back and watch Gongsun Du and Li Wenjing control the financial affairs of Youzhou for so many years.

To put it bluntly, he really looked down on the little things that could be produced from this bitter and cold land of Youzhou.

But speaking of this, Yuan Feng suddenly had something in his mind.

"Do you think I should seize the financial power of Youzhou from Li Wenjing?"

Without money and food, he wanted to see how they would feed those more than one hundred thousand tigers and wolves, as well as the millions of hungry mouths behind those more than one hundred thousand tigers and wolves!

But when Dao Cheng heard this, his face changed drastically and he said hurriedly.

"Provincial Governor, no!"

Yuan Feng was a little annoyed and was about to scold him when he heard Dao Cheng continue.

"Provincial Governor, have you not heard of the extreme cruelty and evil?"

Yuan Feng understood Daocheng's distorted words.

The poorer people are in this world, the more cruel they become.

If the warriors in Liaodong were really forced into a corner, Yuan Feng might not have been afraid of the consequences before, but now he was hesitant.

Although I was hesitant, I was also really angry.

"So you mean that I will just let that kid bully me like this?"

Dao Cheng heard this and said cautiously, "It's not really an insult. Duke Yan still has some sense of propriety."

"Not only did he hand over the power to appoint officials in the five cities to the governor, but he also left the cities abandoned by the noble families untouched..."

"According to Daocheng, Duke Yan still respects the governor very much."

Is he the elder?
He was just giving a slap in the face and then a sweet date!

Yuan Feng was almost laughing out of anger.

I wanted to retort, but firstly, that would undoubtedly be a slap in my face. Secondly, leaving aside Daocheng's subsequent nonsense, there was still some truth in his words.

The power to appoint officials in the five cities that were captured by the Zhen Liao Army had been handed over to him as the governor, which barely saved his face.

The few cities abandoned by the nobles at the back can be considered the real inside.

With these cities in his hands, he can also give some explanations to certain people in the tribe.

Thinking of this, Yuan Feng's expression eased slightly.

At this time, Daocheng immediately spoke to comfort him.

"Governor, the time has not come yet. We must be patient and cautious!"

"When the governor achieves great things in the future, what will this little humiliation mean to you?"

In other words.

Anyway, you have endured it for so many years, and even had to bear the bad reputation of being a paper governor.

What does this little humiliation matter now?
This psychological massage, especially the phrase "wait until one day to accomplish great things", really touched Yuan Feng's heart.

Indeed, compared with major events, temporary setbacks are nothing more than the wind and rain and bumps along the way.

But then Yuan Feng suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked at Dao Cheng deeply, and said meaningfully.

"Daocheng, I remember that you always urged me to start the rebellion as soon as possible. Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"

The sensitivity of those who have been in a high position for a long time is sometimes beyond imagination.

Daocheng's heart sank when he heard this, but his face showed a bit of disappointment and a bitter smile.

"This time, that time."

"Who could have thought that an unknown kid would rise to prominence so quickly?"

"The old general of Liaodong Gongsun is called Zhonghu, but he is just an old dog guarding the gate and the house. He is nothing to be afraid of."

"But that Han kid really has the demeanor of a tiger or a wolf."

As he said this, Daocheng bowed to Yuan Feng.

"For the sake of the governor's major affairs, Daocheng's urgent selfishness is not worth mentioning."

Yuan Feng, who was in a superior position, took a closer look at his close aide.

After thinking in silence for a while, I realized that I was overthinking.

After all, if this person really had ulterior motives, it would be impossible for him to continue to raise more private armies to compete with him.

……

After coming out of the governor's mansion, cold sweat that was suppressed by magic power began to seep out from Daocheng's back.

In the past, he acted without fear because he was not afraid of death, but was only afraid of not being able to achieve what he wanted.

But now he suddenly felt a little scared.

The nephew who had never really shown his face, and the Duke of Yan to whom his nephew was loyal...

After a quick thought, Daocheng suddenly murmured to himself.

"The aura of an emperor... Is there really an aura of an emperor in this world?"

Because of a prophecy whose truth or falsity was unknown, his entire lineage of fortune tellers was slaughtered, leaving only their descendants.

In the end, it became a means for these remnants to stir up trouble in secret, which is really ironic.

As for the prophecy, Daocheng once believed it, but later he no longer believed it.

Now that I really see a slight clue, I become skeptical again.

But none of that matters right now.

The important thing is...

"I have already sent this great gift, it depends on whether that person can accept it..."

The Yuan family has been nobles for generations. Once they are free to act, the power in Yuan Feng's hands will inevitably surge.

There will naturally be pressure at that time.

But once such a huge amount of resources flow into Youzhou, it will surely be able to nourish this bitter, cold and barren land.

As for how to grab some nutrients from it to strengthen himself, or even wear the "wedding dress" that I prepare for him in the future, that is that person's own business.

When his thoughts turned to this, Dao Cheng suddenly revealed a ferocious smile.

The emotion contained in that smile is probably "From here on, let the world feel pain!"

Peace in the world?

Who hasn't been striving for this?
What can be exchanged for?
That day, the blood inside the mountain gate flowed like a river!
It is heart-wrenching that fellow disciples were slaughtered and their wives, daughters and relatives were humiliated!

How many people who experienced that tragic scene would not go crazy?
……

Younan is mountainous. Although not as majestic as those famous mountains in the world, it also has quite some ups and downs.

To the south of Zhuozhou, the mountains are even more rugged.

And it is in such ups and downs that people can be hidden.

However, things changed too quickly. Although most of the private soldiers received the news in advance and successfully escaped into Zhuozhou, they hid there.

But the remaining tens of thousands of people were not so lucky.

They were scattered everywhere, and faced with the sudden attack of black-armored cavalry, they were defeated and could only flee for their lives.

Fortunately, the black-armored tigers and wolves chasing after them looked ferocious, but they did not seem impatient.

They chased and fled all the way, and soon reached the border between the two states.

"Hold on a little longer. Once we reach Zhuozhou, we'll be safe..."

Some people were puzzled when they heard this.

"Why are we safe once we reach Zhuozhou?"

The person who spoke took a deep breath, rolled his eyes at the other person, and said unhappily.

"You are stupid! Border troops are not allowed to cross the border without reason! If those people who guard Liao do not want to rebel, this Zhuozhou is a natural barrier in front of them. They dare not cross it!"

The person who spoke was so sure that one had to believe him.

So on this last stretch of the journey to the border, even though everyone was as tired as a dead dog, a burst of power suddenly burst out.

"My men! The way out is right in front of us, charge!"

"Charge! If you charge forward, not only can you survive, but you can also breathe a sigh of relief!"

Those who didn't know might have thought that the bandit leader's passionate shout was an order to charge into battle.

Such a scene full of black humor naturally made the group of black-armored cavalry behind him laugh and cry.

If the opponent had been so energetic in the previous match, it would have made them respect him a little.

But now...

"Let's go and scare them."

"Haha! Let's go! I love chasing rabbits the most!"

All we can say is that people’s joys and sorrows are not the same.

They laughed and threatened, while the fleeing soldiers in front of them were so scared that they rushed forward desperately.

Soon they crossed the borders of You and Zhuo states.

As soon as they crossed the border, many of the fleeing soldiers stopped. Some of them lost their horses on the road and their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.

"I survived, I finally survived..."

After escaping death, they thought they were safe, and the resentment in their hearts suddenly surged.

Imagine you are hanging out with your brothers.

On weekdays, they have no shortage of food and supplies for their cultivation. Occasionally, they can transform themselves into real bandits and go out to rob and humiliate those lowly civilians.

But suddenly, those ghost-like black-armored tigers and wolves suddenly appeared.

The people who killed them almost pushed them into a desperate situation.

No matter how strong the hatred and resentment are, it is not excessive.

And seeing that the other side really stopped at the border of the two states at this moment, and only "dared" to look at them through the hideous mask, many defeated soldiers burst into laughter.

"You son of a bitch! You've been chasing me for so long! Do you have the guts to——"

"Come here!"

Then I saw that the other party seemed to move.

They actually...really came...

Hey!
This is fucking wrong!
