The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 179 Am I a Wise Leader?
At dawn, golden light shines through the mist, and the sky is filled with dazzling golden clouds.

Ten miles outside Luoyang City, the military camp is like a winding dragon, stretching to the end of the sky, which is a spectacular sight.

The military tents in the camp were in good order, just like chess pieces on a chessboard, demonstrating both strict military discipline and the strength of the army.

From all directions, cavalry units of thousands of men were coming in and out, escorting teams of prisoners of war, heading slowly towards the depths of the military camp.

Looking closer, you can see that the seemingly undisciplined Cavalry Guards actually have sharp eyes and are full of energy, and their vigilant gaze is as sharp as an eagle.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that there is a very faint golden light flowing on their skin, which is the effect of practicing the Beiming Battle Tactics.

Bei Ming Battle Tactics: Take the secrets of Bei Ming, integrate the strange battle patterns, and incorporate the mystery of jade bones and golden bodies. Transform into the Bei Ming of heaven and earth, use the acupoints to guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to flow back into the body, and use the killing energy of the battlefield to wash the body. When it is fully developed, it can condense the Vajra Battle Body, which can fight against the great masters.

Taoist Demon Battle Body: Taking the fluctuations of the demon in the heart of Tao, integrating the confused mind of the great dream and the strangeness of the blood sacrifice battle pattern, it can condense an indestructible battle body that can defeat the broken strong.

The advantage of Beiming Battle Art and Daomo Battle Body is that it is easy to upgrade. As long as you keep fighting and killing, it is only a matter of time before you achieve great success.

Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. The demand for cultivation resources is extremely terrifying, and it is destined to only take the elite route.

This is the result of Wang Yi's more than two months of seclusion, after he made fundamental modifications to the Beiming Golden Body Art and the Dao Seed Division Method. It can be regarded as the culmination of his martial arts background.

The former is applicable to the entire army under Yang Guang, and the latter is applicable to generals in the army. One is a method to strengthen the army, and the other is a method to consolidate the army. It is strange and has a very high upper limit.

This can be regarded as Wang Yi's attempt at the so-called heavenly soldiers and generals. Although it is only a prototype, it is already possible to enjoy a little of the grand scene of hundreds of millions of heavenly soldiers and generals roaming the upper realm in the future.

"Raise your gun! Stab!"

"Hah! Ha! ..."

In the center of the military camp, a tall general's platform stood tall, with a dragon flag fluttering on it. In the strong wind, the golden dragon on the flag seemed to come alive.

Below the general platform was a huge training ground covered with yellow sand, with swords, spears, and halberds flashing coldly, and all kinds of military equipment and war tools were readily available. Tens of thousands of soldiers formed a square formation, and under the command of the deputy general, they were training with great vigor, and the sound of shouting and ha was endless.

War horses neighed, iron hooves clattered, and teams of thousands of brave cavalry guards rode slowly, escorting teams of rebel prisoners to the prisoner-of-war camp that was built next to the parade ground.

The prisoner-of-war camp covered a huge area, with rough wooden fences woven with hemp ropes to form simple open-air cells.

There were densely packed heads of people covered in dust and dirt inside, and even though it was washed daily and disinfected with lime, the stench was still so pungent that it was unbearable.

The arrow towers were high all around, and the crossbowmen were holding up their exquisite crossbows, scanning the surroundings with murderous expressions. Their right index fingers were on the triggers, ready to shoot the sharp crossbow arrows at the enemy at any time.

In the distance, huge catapults and various weapons with different functions were neatly displayed in the open space on the west side of the parade ground, surrounded by patrolling soldiers.

The entire military camp, whether it is the kitchen with smoke rising from the kitchen or the sentries patrolling day and night, every place reveals a tense and orderly atmosphere.

There were 100,000 brave cavalry guards, 100,000 brave fruit guards, 200,000 military guards, and 100,000 auxiliary guards, totaling 500,000 troops. They were stationed in military camps in all directions, and their mighty military force reached the sky.

The Chinese military tent.

Taiyi Yang Guang sat upright on the dragon throne, looking down at the information in his hand, a faint smile unconsciously rising at the corner of his mouth.

His casual sitting posture made him seem profound and majestic, with an aura of authority that came naturally from him, oppressing the generals in the tent so much that they dared not even breathe.

"Li Jing... a general under Du Fuwei. Due to differences in ideology, he was ostracized, so he decided to look for another wise leader..."

The calm and majestic words were clearly heard by everyone in the tent, including Li Jing who was tied up.

Li Jing had a rough face, a straight nose, and a pair of bright eyes under a broad forehead. He was muscular, with dark and rough skin, and a calm and confident temperament. Even when he was pressed to his knees by the Jinyiwei, his expression remained calm and fearless.

Taiyi Yang Guang put down the intelligence in his hand, raised his hand to twiddle his beard, lowered his eyes to look into Li Jing's eyes, and said faintly: "Am I a wise leader?"

Li Jing turned his head and snorted coldly, "The armies of the princes have rushed thousands of miles, supporting each other, and are joining forces to encircle the Luoyang army. The princes of the world have hundreds of thousands of troops, but you are arrogant and stay outside the city without moving. You are so arrogant and blind, you can't be considered a wise leader."

"It doesn't count... What a pity..." Taiyi Yang Guang waved his hands with a look of regret and said: "Take him away... Kill him..."

"Yes!" The two Jinyiwei responded with a fist salute, then one on the left and one on the right, held Li Jing's arms and walked out of the tent with steady steps.

Li Jing struggled and twisted hard, glaring at Yang Guang who had a regretful look on his face. His eyes were full of confusion and his heart was filled with deep anger.

This tyrant had the Jinyiwei come all the way here to abduct him, and just because he said he was not a wise leader, he wanted to kill him? If he hadn't been strong-willed, he would have been unable to hold back his curses.

Unfortunately, his dantian was sealed, and his strength was reduced to only 70% or 80%. Facing the powerful Jinyiwei, he could only be dragged out of the tent with a depressed look on his face.

Zhang Shihe was surprised and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty once said that this man was a top-notch general. Isn't it a pity to kill him like this?"

All the generals in the tent looked puzzled, and they also felt that His Majesty's attitude seemed too casual.

Taiyi Yang Guang smiled and said, "This person has great ideals and ambitions, and he longs to stand proudly on the broad stage and fully display his talents. How can such a rare talent be willing to die just like that?"

In his memory, Li Jing also surrendered to the Li clan just when the knife was on his neck. Knowing this, he could just copy and prescribe the right medicine.

Although he could not gain his true loyalty in a short period of time, with the establishment of Yun Dynasty and the cultivation of Daomo War Body, he had no choice but to be loyal.

Everyone's faces showed realization. Although this move was inappropriate, it was the only way His Majesty could have a chance to subdue the other party.

Yuwen Chengdu clasped his fists and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the rebels in Guanzhong have been wiped out by me. There are nearly 300,000 prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camp. Should we escort them back to the capital first?"

Naturally, he had his own considerations for making such a proposal.

Even with the bumper harvest of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other products, plus the marching rations produced by the Agriculture Department, the army's supply pressure was very small, and these 300,000 extra mouths could be fed.

However, the existence of prisoner-of-war camps is always a hidden danger. If the enemy takes advantage of it, it can easily lead to defeat.

Moreover, sending them to Kyoto can also speed up the construction of the underground palace, so why not do it?
Taiyi Yang Guang pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "The prisoner-of-war camp is a good source of soldiers. After the prisoners are dispersed, they will be added to the Wuwei and Yiwei armies to fully prepare for the upcoming Luoyang battle."

Then he looked at Zhang Shihe, the commander-in-chief, and said in a deep voice, "Notify Yu Wenzhi and have him keep a close eye on those bald men in Jingnian Zen Temple. I don't want anything to happen to the Heshi Bi."

Zhang Shihe stood up and bowed solemnly, saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured. With the commander in charge and the experts from the Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories hiding and watching, Jingnian Zen Temple won't cause any trouble."

Taiyi Yang Guang nodded, looked at the generals with strong aura, and said in a deep voice: "The strategy of using oneself as bait to besiege Wei and save Zhao has been initially achieved. The Cavalry Army and the Fruit Guard can start to attack."

"Remember! I want the righteous army of the world to come and never return. Train these two invincible cavalry for me. They are the sharp weapon to deal with the Eastern and Western Turks!" Yuwen Chengdu and Sima Dekan stood up, clasped their fists and accepted the order, saying: "I will obey your order and will not let your majesty down!"

Taiyi Yang Guang nodded slightly, glanced at the generals present, and said indifferently: "While the Cavalry Guards and the Fruit Guards are dispatched, you all block the roads around Luoyang with all your strength. Since those guys in the city dare to come, there is no need for them to leave..."

At this moment, the curtain was opened, and a Jinyiwei hurried over. He stopped, clasped his fists and reported: "Your Majesty, Li Jing shouted that he has a good plan to break the capital of Luoyang."

Taiyi Yang Guang raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone who had just stood up to sit down, and said with a faint smile: "Li Jing is really a man who knows the current situation. It would be a pity to kill such a man who knows the current situation. Bring him to see me."

"Yes!" The Jinyiwei bowed in response, turned around, lifted the door curtain and left in a hurry.

Not long after, Li Jing was brought back to the central military tent. Although he looked embarrassed, he still maintained his composure and confidence, but there was a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.

"Untie them." Taiyi Yang Guang's face showed no joy or anger, and his words seemed extremely calm.

Upon hearing this, the two Jinyiwei quickly untied the ropes on Li Jing, then stepped aside and stood quietly.

Li Jing twisted his numb arms, exhaled lightly, and silently clasped his fists and bowed deeply to show his respect for the monarch: "I am Li Jing, the surrendered general, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Although he still felt unwilling, the situation was stronger than he was, and as he had great ambitions and did not want to die in obscurity, he had no choice but to compromise temporarily.

Although Yang Guang's voice was light, it revealed an unquestionable majesty: "What good strategy do you have to break through the fortified city of Luoyang?"

Li Jing stood up and looked around with serious eyes. Seeing that all the generals in the tent were looking at him with scrutiny, he suddenly felt a sense of heroism in his heart.

He straightened his back and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, as the Art of War says: The best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, the next best is to attack their troops, and the worst is to attack their cities."

"Luoyang City is impregnable, and with the vassal states' army surrounding it with overwhelming force, attacking the city is the worst option."

"Under such a situation where we are surrounded from all sides, if we rashly attack the city, we will at best be defeated and retreat to Daxing, or at worst... be defeated and die under the city of Luoyang."

As he spoke, he carefully looked at everyone in the field. What surprised him was that both Yang Guang and the generals in the tent looked very calm and were not agitated by his words.

Li Jing frowned slightly and continued to explain: "But taking Luoyang, the capital, is the only chance to turn the passive situation into the active one. Only by taking Luoyang can we wait for the enemy to tire themselves out and deal with the siege of the princes of the world."

Seeing Li Jing's gaze again, Taiyi Yang Guang cooperated and asked with a smile: "Very good insight. How can we capture the fortified city of Luoyang at the lowest cost?"

This is a good opportunity to use both kindness and force. As long as it is handled properly, it will not be difficult to win Li Jing's heart. After all, he has not yet shone brightly and his morale has not yet been raised.

Li Jing's eyes sparkled, and he said solemnly, "The word 'disturbed heart' is enough!"

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Taiyi Yang Guang's face showed an appropriate look of curiosity.

"Now in Luoyang City, people from all over the world have gathered, including Taoists, Buddhists, demons, aristocratic families, martial arts sects, and representatives of the righteous army..."

Li Jing's expression became solemn as he spoke, and he said firmly, "With Wang Shichong's prestige, he can't suppress the people's hearts in the city."

He raised his right hand, pointed a finger, and said seriously: "We only need an opportunity to start a chaos in the city. When the whole army is dispatched, and with the support of the people in the city, we can attack from both inside and outside, and we will be able to accomplish our goal in one battle!"

Taiyi Yang Guang raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Where is the opportunity? Where is the insider?"

Li Jing looked around at everyone and said in a loud voice: "Yang Gong's treasure house is the opportunity. The Jinyiwei led by Commander Yuwen, the hidden forces of the Dugu clan and the Yuwen clan are the internal support, supplemented by the night attack. With the combination of strange and ordinary means, it will be easy to capture the capital of Luoyang."

After the words fell, the central army tent fell silent for a moment. Everyone looked at Li Jing with great surprise.

Yang Gong's treasure house is fine, but how did this guy know that Commander Yuwen was in the city? Just because he was not in the tent?
They formed a preliminary impression of Li Jing. He was a man of meticulous mind, sharp vision, unique strategies and upright tactics. He was indeed a talented general.

A gleam of light flashed in Taiyi Yang Guang's eyes, he stroked his beard and smiled faintly: "It's an extraordinary plan to confuse people. This unique vision and strategy make me look at you with new eyes."

Li Jing showed humility, clasped his hands and bowed, saying: "It is an honor for me to be employed by Your Majesty."

The plan to confuse people is both a strange plan and an open plan. There are only five people in the world who can come up with this plan. Moreover, this is a plan that he came up with based on general information, so he is naturally arrogant.

Taiyi Yang Guang chuckled and said, "The Dugu clan is deeply rooted in Luoyang, and the Yuwen clan has also made arrangements. With the support of the masters of the Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories, this plan to confuse people is indeed the best strategy."

Li Jing was surprised, and his thoughts changed slightly. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It seems that there are many talented people in the court. They have already made arrangements in this regard. This is really embarrassing for the surrendered general."

"The imperial court has a complete intelligence system, a staff department, a strategy department, a think tank department, and a coordination department. It's normal for you to think of these things. But you alone can come up with such a brilliant plan. You are truly a rare talent, a great leader!"

Taiyi Yang Guang said, staring at Li Jing for a long time, his eyes like a torch, "If I promise you a military commander, can I be considered a wise leader?"

"If I promise you the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies during the fourth expedition to Goguryeo in the future, and give you the opportunity to pass down your name through the ages, would that make you a wise leader?"

"Are you willing to be... my Han Xin?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an aura as deep as the ocean emanated from his body, and a domineering will that looked down on the world caused the void to vibrate and the tent to sway, and everyone in the tent lowered their heads consciously.

Li Jing was under pressure, looked up in astonishment, remained indifferent for a while, and said dryly: "Your Majesty's strength..."

Under the influence of the opponent's will, he was as fragile as a baby and had no will to resist at all. He was terrified by this strength.

No one in the world knows about Yang Guang's terrifying strength. If the rebels gather strong men to surround and kill him, their fate will be...

Thinking of this, he really felt a chill down his spine. The depth of this calculation was truly frightening and terrifying.

Taiyi Yang Guang smiled faintly: "Grandmaster level, still a little short of breaking."

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Li Jing bowed without hesitation. He looked up at Yang Guang and said with a blazing gaze, "A wise ruler knows how to use people. Your Majesty is not bound by any rules in recruiting talents, so you are naturally a wise ruler."

For a monarch with the strength of a grandmaster, the possibility of falling midway has been eliminated, and the probability of achieving great things has been increased by 30%.

And Jun Zhi Han Xin...this alone is worth his fight.

"Hahaha... Good! Good! Good!" Taiyi Yang Guang laughed heartily and said in a deep voice: "Draft an imperial decree! Confer the title of General Wuwei on Li Jing, grant him the title of Right Guard, and let him command 200,000 Wuwei troops and follow the army at your service."

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!" Li Jing bowed with great respect, his eyes shining brightly and his voice sonorous and powerful.
