The Sacred Ding

Cao Feng’s youngest son Cao Gui has just passed 14 years old. He has cultivated his muscles and bones since he was a child. Although he hasn’t really stepped into the threshold of Martial Dao cultivation in these years, he still has a strong foundation.

More importantly, Cao Gui has followed his father and brother in the past few years. He has suffered a lot at a young age. He is more aware of the dangers and hardships of the world than the children of the clan who grew up in the greenhouse. Also more determined, is a good seed.

When Cao Gui followed his father into Taohuawu, he already knew that he would be kept as a hostage. Even if he knew the situation was compelling, he was always unwilling to do so, but he didn’t expect this trip to become his true journey. After entering Martial Dao cultivation, I immediately knelt down in front of Ge Tong, “peng~ peng~ peng~” with three beeps.

“I am a general of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Hou Mansion, working under Master Shaohou. Do you know what you mean by kneeling and kowtow?” Ge Tong was not busy receiving Cao Gui’s gift , And expression asked him solemnly.

“…” Cao Gui was a little bit too young and didn’t know how to answer Ge Tong’s words.

“This kid is clear in his heart.” Cao Feng took the words.

Ge Tong ignored Cao Feng, staring at Cao Gui with piercing eyes, and said: “I am the general of the Zhaoyang Pavilion and I have cultivated the profound arts taught by the Zhaoyang Pavilion. Neither is qualified to teach profound knowledge privately to others, nor is qualified to accept someone as an apprentice. At this time, it is only on behalf of Zhaoyang Pavilion and Hou Mansion, who will lead you to the threshold of Martial Dao cultivation on behalf of Master Shaohou. From then on, you will It is a member in front of the Young Master’s account. He must be loyal to the Young Master, diligent in cultivation, and share the worries on behalf of the Young Master. If later after successfully cultivating it, it is not impossible to enter the Tai Wei cultivation again, but That’s also the great kindness that Young Master gave you.”

“Cao Gui remembers it in his heart.” Cao Gui is also agile, and walks up to Chen Hai, “peng~ peng~ peng~” A rattle.

In Taohuawu, Ge Tong’s cultivation base is not the highest, but it is only second to Chen Hai, Wu Meng, Man Slave Tie Kun, Zhou Jun and three or four people–Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and Tie Kun They all followed Chen Hai in the army. Taohuawu usually led Ge Tong to deal with all kinds of problems. The 100 elite soldiers who stayed behind Taohua were also under the command of Ge Tong.

If you can temporarily follow Ge Tong’s cultivation, there will never be any grievances to Ge Gui; not to mention that you have to build a good Martial Dao foundation, and you will have the opportunity to enter Taiweizong cultivation in two or three years. A chance that the children of the cold race will never meet.

Seeing Cao Feng and Cao Kyu’s father and son still kneeling on the ground, Chen Hai haha ​​smiled and said to Cao Feng: “Since Cao Kyu is cultivation by Senior Brother Ge, then the head of Cao and us are our peers. If you meet, you should sit down and talk quickly, and you can’t mess up your body. Cao Family Village has some good seedlings. If anyone wants to cultivation Martial Dao, I’m not stingy to give pointers…”

Cao Feng also knows that since Cao Gui has come to cultivation Martial Dao with Ge Tong, he can no longer have double-minded thoughts, and said: “Master Duomen shelters seventy or eighty thousand talents from being displaced, everyone is deeply grateful, no I know how to repay the kindness of adults. Speaking of good seedlings, there are 20-30 seedlings who have not missed the age of Martial Dao cultivation. If adults can arrange for someone to guide them in their cultivation, this great kindness and virtue is really…”

Speaking of this, Cao Feng is about to kneel on the ground again, thanking him.

The seven to eighty thousand refugees in the northern part of Taohuawu mainly come from two or three neighboring counties. This sect is closely related to each other. Only when they are fleeing from famine, they are closely united.

Chen Hai does not matter whether Cao Feng’s gratitude at this time is true or false, Cao Feng can really send the 20-30 most outstanding good seedlings here, and he will not treat these young disciple badly here. Also because of their relatives, the fate of these seventy to eighty thousand people will be completely tied to Taohuawu.

No matter what dissent Cao Feng has, he has no ability to encourage these people to create Taohuawu opposition.

“… Mr. Cao is polite,” Chen Hai smiled slightly, and said, “I think Mr. Cao also pays attention to training the martial skills of young children in the north. As long as there are some martial skills, even if At the age of twenty, it will not be too late to cultivation Martial Dao, but there is no need to restrict the bad habits of sect too.”

The vitality, blood, and essence of the human body within the body are the most pure and exuberant when they are young. The best time for cultivation, but when a teenager is 16 years old, and a girl is 14 years old, the essence of qi, blood, and essence in a person’s body will have a considerable branch that is constantly transformed into essence and water that can breed new life. Guishui, thinking about cultivation at this time will half the results for twice the effort, and it will become extremely difficult.

However, Chen Hai noticed that Cao Feng’s father and son led this group of refugees. The young children attach great importance to the training of martial arts, so they have a good foundation, even if they are twenty years old before entering Martial. Dao cultivation, can’t be considered past age.

Taiweizong and other top sect and clan forces in Yanzhou, choosing dísciple from the common people can naturally be extremely picky. Even the good seedlings of ten thousand li can be thrown into Dao Academy. Survival of the fittest, but Chen Hai is very short of manpower at this time, and he is not qualified to be so picky. He still wants to select more good seedlings, and Ge Tongxian is responsible for training.

Chen Hai now has more than 200 elite private soldiers available, but he also needs to pay attention to the construction of the reserve echelon, and the foundry and armor shop also need to train a group of apprentices with care.

For Cao Feng, 20-30 people are given away, and seventy-eighty people are also given away. In the future, there will really be a few people who will achieve success in Martial Dao cultivation. Cao Family is in Taohuawu and Zhaoyang Pavilion. Hou’s speech is also heavy.

Except for seventy-eighty seedlings with cultivation aptitude, the seven or eighty thousand refugees in the northern region have no potential to tap.

After several years of catastrophe, most of the old, weak, sick and disabled among the refugees either starved to death or fell ill; the 70,000 to 80,000 people who survived the famine years, after nearly a year of recuperation , Most people can be said to be strong and physically strong, and therefore they can withstand the heavy physical tasks such as building dikes, mining, quarrying, logging, and reclamation starting at the beginning of the year.

In the past, Cao Feng was afraid of causing unnecessary suspicion and interference in the local governments, Meiwu Fort and Taohuawu. He did not dare to openly train soldiers, but he really wanted to have something wrong with him. He chose 10,000-20,000 health Rui conducts exercises, and the battle strength is no worse than the local military equipment.

Cao Feng was afraid of committing taboos, Chen Hai thought in his heart, asking Tu Ziji to come forward, maybe it would be able to tell the local government to enlist seventy to eighty thousand people into households, and when the time comes, it can be officially Selected Jianrui to train the village soldiers and the people to cooperate with the Beijing camp.

At the same time, there are one or two hundred veterans in the seventh capital of the Xiyuan Army. They can be “disarmed and returned to the fields” in advance and arranged to Taohuawu to be responsible for the preparation and training of the village soldiers…

Chen Hai can’t stay in Taohuawu for too long. The matter of taking in the Cao family and selecting guards and apprentices can only be entrusted to Ge Tong and Zhou Jingyuan. He watched the sun rise high. , And Wu Meng, Zhou Jun, Ding Shuang, led more than a hundred Huwei across the Qiuye River, into the Fujiaoling Yingcheng.

The two light warships had just sailed into the water gate of Fujiaoling Camp. Tu Ziji, Zhao Rongjiu, Ran Hu and others greeted them and said: “The decision to dispatch troops from Taiwei’s Mansion has been The Xiyuan Army mobilized a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses from one to six capitals, and appointed General Wei Yuqi, General Wei Fan Chun as the lieutenant general, and Yao Qitai as the lieutenant general. They suppressed the rebels and regained Qin Tongguan.”

“Ah, has nothing to do with us?” Zhou Jun asked in surprise.

The Xiyuan Army was organized and trained to become an army. Like the Huben Army, as a Beijing battalion, it has entered the ranks of the Taiwei Mansion. The Taiwei Mansion conscripted the Xiyuan Army to recover Qintong Pass. accident.

In such a chaos, many battalions are also looking forward to the opportunity to lead their troops to fight in order to accumulate fame and fortune. Even Chen Hai did not expect that the Taiwei Mansion will only be recruited from the Xiyuan Army this time. The soldiers and horses to Liudu, the seventh, eighth, and ninth new troops were left behind.

“The remaining Sandu soldiers and horses are reserved for reserve. This is a custom.” Tu Ziji said without emotion.

Zhou Jun, Wu Meng and the others also know that this is a custom, but it is still hard to hide their regret.

Chen Hai brows slightly wrinkle, thinking to himself, is this just a convention?

Chen Hai looked at Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong. Without saying much, he boarded the Fujiaoling with the generals and saw that after the enlistment order of the Taiwei Mansion was issued, the actions on the Xiyuan side were very rapid.

At this time, the Liudu soldiers and horses have been drawn from their respective camps, as if the six-headed Flood Dragon with its fangs exposed, is gathering in the direction of the Xiyuan Army General Commander’s House.

Xiyuan’s mountains are vast, with a depth of nearly four 10 li. The Xiyuan Army Commander’s Mansion, as the command and dispatch center, is located about 10 li southwest of Fujiao Park. Chen Hai and the others are standing on the Fujiao Ridge. Can vaguely see the army gathering there.

In the large school field on the north side of the governor’s house, there are already several teams of elite horsemen who have been groomed and faintly revealed that they have the spirit of killing and fighting. Look at the scale of these elite horsemen. Ranging from a thousand to three to five hundred, Chen Hai guessed that they should be elite soldiers transferred from their clan by generals such as Wei Yuqi, Fan Chun, and Yao Qitai.

According to the usual practice, Wei, Fan, Yao and the others have to carry out the general inspection at the Xiyuan Army General Administration Office and lead their troops out of the camp before completing the entire recruitment process.

The seventh is not included in this campaign. Chen Hai, Zhao Rong, and Tu Ziji have no need to pay respects to Wei Yuqi, Fan Chun, Yao Qitai and other generals; There is no half a dime relationship.

“It’s a fucking mother, but it’s cheap Hua Zhedong, Hu Rong, these sons of a bitch!” Ran Hu and other camp generals grumbled and cursed.

Many battalions thought that defeating the rebels and regaining Qin Tongguan was a great achievement at their fingertips. They didn’t even have a chance to go to war. Naturally, they were dissatisfied to the extreme. But this was the decision of the Taiwei Mansion. There is nothing to complain about.

Chen Hai asked Tu Ziji: “The Taiwei’s mansion has no preliminary punishment to Tu Shuai for their loss of Qintong Pass?”

“Uncle Qi and they have been ordered to take the generals He and other Qin Tongguan soldiers were assigned to General Wei Yuqi’s Huwei Camp. Allowing them to participate in the battle to regain Qin Tongguan would be regarded as guilty and meritorious service,” Tu Ziji said.

Chen Hai nodded, Tu Zhongjin and the others carelessly fell into Qintong Pass. It would be good if they could save their lives. For the time being, don’t expect capable officials to resume their posts.

Next, Chen Hai asked Ran Hu and other battalion generals to take care of their own affairs, leaving Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong to speak. Seventy to eighty thousand refugees in the northern part of Taohuawu should be recruited. You can only ask Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong for help.
