This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 376 Interception
The next day is dawn.

Cao Jun finished cleaning the battlefield.

The smell of blood pervading the battlefield is still hard to dispel.

The corpses of many Cao Jun soldiers were placed together.

Cao Su found some livestock as sacrifices, and Wu Ming, with dark circles under his eyes, handed Cao Su the sacrificial oration he had written overnight.

Cao Su looked solemn, dressed in armor, and walked in front of the soldiers.

Start to chant sacrificial texts and pray to heaven.

The soldiers stood silently, paying homage to their departed companions.

The high incense that was lit blows up faint blue smoke.

Accompanied by An Xiang's soul, he drifted into the heaven of reincarnation.

Cao Su prayed in person.

Since he led the Cao army, although many people have come and gone in the army under his command, those who stay are his hard-core team, and he will follow his lead.

Never suffered such a big loss.

Even though it was a bitter battle in Lushan, not so many people died within a unit of time.

But now, it was just a head-on confrontation. After less than half an hour of fighting, the winner was already decided.

The Yao army was almost wiped out, while Cao Jun lost hundreds of soldiers.

The threat of demon soldiers and generals is far better than Wanping's rebellious army.

Half a day later, Cao Jun finished cleaning the battlefield.

On the corpse of the monster soldiers and monster generals, some monster clan weapons were obtained.

Most of them are heavy-duty weapons, which are too big to be used by Cao Jun Wufu, but occasionally there are two daggers hanging on the body of the Yaozu, which are just right for Cao Jun soldiers' sabers.

Not long after the demon soldiers and generals die, they will all return to their original forms.

The monster soldiers and monster generals in their original form are bigger, some tigers, leopard monsters and the like, with a body size of more than three or four meters.

There was a strong evil spirit in the corpse.

Cao Jun cut up many monster corpses, marinated the edible meat and took them away.

Demons eat people, and people eat demons.

It's just that when people eat demons, the prerequisites are more troublesome.

First of all, it will cost a lot to get rid of the evil spirit on the demon body.

If you indiscriminately eat demon meat with demonic aura, it is very likely that you will "turn your mind into a demon", and your body will turn into a demon. At that time, it will be difficult to distinguish between a human and a demon.

Humans are not human, demons are not demons, blood and cholera, heading for extinction.

So Cao Jun also took away the essence of the demon meat, and cremated the corpses of other demon clans by the way.

After being cremated, the bones and flesh of some monster races that had not yet turned into ashes were picked up again by the soldiers.

These are all the 'treasures' in the demon's body, and they can survive the burning fire, proving their nobility.

In the future, if you stay in the city, please ask a special "craft refining treasure" master to operate it, maybe you can forge superior weapons.

These are Cao Jun's wealth.

Therefore, Cao Su sharpened his knife and cut firewood by mistake, and carefully cleaned the battlefield.

Then he led the army to leave, and continued to patrol Liangzhou, arresting Liangzhou for rebelling against the demon clan.

Ever since Cao Su fought against the vanguard army of the black eagle monster, he has never encountered a decent army of monster tribes again.

Cao Su arrived in Xijun, took a short rest, and then got to the south of Xijun, where there were traces of monsters.

Afterwards, he hurriedly led his army out, but turned around several times in the south, but didn't see any monsters.

More than a month passed by.

The time has entered the ninth year of Zhengguang.

At the beginning of this year, the emperor summoned all civil and military officials in the capital of God.

The emperor believed that after six years of Zhengguang, the world was in turmoil and national power was damaged.

But Qianyuan is determined by heaven, and it should last for thousands of generations. The current turmoil is just some small challenges.

In order to have a better development in the future, I pray for good luck.

The emperor decided to change the new year's name to "Yongning".

It is called "the first year of Yongning" in history.

The emperor changed the year name.

And at the beginning of the new year, some new policies were promulgated.

Involves land, economy, politics, military and other aspects.

It looks like it is going to give Qianyuan a new look.

However, the emperor, who is in a high position, has no idea about the formulation and promulgation of new policies, their implementation at the local level, and the final results.

Many policies may have good ideas, but their implementation varies widely.

The empire has been rotten from the "roots", and being forced to implement the "New Deal", it can only quench thirst with poison, which does not have much effect.

Behind the increasingly serious land annexation, only by completely breaking the monopoly of the aristocratic family can the national treasury be refilled.

It's a pity that although the emperor had ideas, he couldn't set an example.

The Xiyuan, which is a huge project, has not stopped working until today.

Even the soldiers fighting on the front line in Xizhou have been in arrears for a quarter and have not paid their food and salaries.

So this person today.

Ambitious but no sense of safety, obsessed with cultivating the Tao but not caring about people's livelihood, even though he has opinions on family and country affairs, it is all based on paper.

In a peaceful world, maybe he can be a stable emperor.

Putting it in troubled times is simply accelerating the demise of the empire.

However, he himself didn't know it, and felt that some new policies promulgated with racking his brains, coupled with the revised "Yongning First Year" year name, would definitely allow the empire to rise again.

After that, he no longer paid attention to the war in Xizhou.

Practicing Dao in the palace again, forgetting about the Qiang and monster races.

The emperor changed the year name.

The news spread all over the world.

The first year of Yongning!

Even the people in Anzhou know that the reign name of Tianxia has been changed.

People just listen to it in their ears.

The threat of the Qiang people is imminent, even if the year name is changed, what's the use?
They still have to farm tomorrow and find ways to survive in this chaotic and dangerous world.

The exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes on him are still as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it is almost impossible to breathe.

There has been no change in the aspects most related to the immediate interests of the people. These policies sound unreliable and unpopular.

A few days later, the Qiang army in Anzhou gathered in the east of Anzhou.

Anzhou has been raging for three months, the general Feng Yuchan and the guard of Jincheng Jia Tao are all the same, and they stick to Jincheng and can't come out.

The Qiang people feel that the established plan has been successfully completed this time.

Now the whole Anzhou is trembling under the Qiang cavalry.

At the order of King Qiang, [-] cavalry gathered in Andong.

When the movement of the Qiang people came out, Feng Yuchan immediately regained his spirits.

Jincheng prepares its army for war, waiting for the arrival of the Qiang people.

Before the Qiang people approached, a sense of solemnity that the wind and rain were about to come condensed in the sky above Jincheng.

The soldiers on both sides had a premonition that there would be a war of the century here.

It's the beginning of the new year in the first year of Yongning!

However, just when everyone thought that a big battle was about to happen.

The sky in Xizhou suddenly changed, the new wind blew all over Xizhou, and it snowed heavily in Xizhou overnight.

Snow falls on mountains and rivers, covering the whole of Xizhou.

When it snows, Xizhou becomes Baizhou.

Heavy snow blocked the road and the temperature dropped again.

Cao Su led his army to hide in Xijun, and never came out easily.

And the news of the monster soldiers from all over Liangzhou is also much less.

Those demon soldiers who made trouble at the beginning don't know where they went now.

Yongzhou is safe, but Anzhou is dominated by the Qiang people. Could it be possible that the demon soldiers have returned to the demon realm?

Cao Su didn't understand either, so he hid in Xijun to practice kung fu all day long.

At the same time, he dispatched his elite soldiers to search for the traces of the demon soldiers.

Since fighting the demon soldiers more than a month ago, many soldiers under Cao Su's command have made breakthroughs one after another. Many soldiers who were originally ordinary warriors have gone through the battle of life and death, crossed the transformation of life, and stepped into the blood class.

And in the realm of three bursts of qi and blood, many people also entered the realm of strength.

The strength of the [-] elite under Cao Su's command has been rising steadily.

And Cao Su himself has created a good atmosphere in the whole army to "value, respect, and love warriors". As the top general, he often goes deep into the front line and personally rewards every warrior who breaks through to the realm of strength.

Such a glorious tradition has never been abandoned.

Warriors who have broken through to the realm of strength also deeply feel Cao Su's attention, and their hearts are warm, especially when Cao Su also sends exercises, weapons, and pills, and he is even more devoted to Cao Su.
In Xijun, Cao Su added hundreds of people, and continued to make up 3000 people.

The recruits are led by the veterans, and they are first familiar with the cavalry combat methods.

In mid-January, news suddenly came from Jincheng.

General Feng Yuchan, the general who suppressed the chaos, personally led the army, walked out of the Jincheng pass, and went straight to the [-] Qiang iron army outside the pass.

"Isn't it easy to wait for work? Relying on the strong walls of the city? Why did you suddenly go up again?"

When he got the news, Cao Jun had rested in Xijun for another half a month.

The name of the west county guard is Liu Zheng, and he is a veteran over 50 years old.

The veteran himself is from Xizhou, and he has been guarding the main roads of Xijun, with strong blood and superb martial arts.

The most important thing is that he is a nice person. Cao Su has been in contact with him a few times and feels that he is an old general who can make friends.

The old general was very puzzled, he didn't understand why Feng Yuchan wanted to break his long-standing policy.

In Liu Zheng's view, as long as he sticks to the Jincheng Road, it is inevitable that the Qiang people will retreat in the spring of the coming year, and if they move forward at that time, Anzhou can be easily pacified.

It is the best policy to wait until the city wall is repaired in the coming year, and then slowly map it to prevent the Qiang people from coming again.

Now a rush, life and death are unpredictable.

After Cao Su heard the news, he also questioned the accuracy of the news.

He stared at the sergeant who sent the order and said, "Check again immediately and verify the news with Jincheng."

"Your Majesty will not throw himself in a dangerous situation. If he operates like this, there must be someone behind him."

As soon as Cao Su finished speaking, he saw Wu Ming coming in a hurry outside the house.

He held a secret letter in his hand and handed it to Cao Su.

"General, a secret letter from the Lord and Marquis."

Seeing this, Liu Zheng quickly got up and avoided.

Cao Su didn't stop him either. According to the rules, he opened the secret letter by himself and watched it.

After a while, Cao Su put down the secret letter and frowned.

And Liu Zheng walked back into the hall again.

"General Cao, how are you?"

Seeing Cao Su's troubled expression, Liu Zheng asked politely.

Cao Su sighed and said, "Old General Liu, I can no longer stay in Xijun. The Lord has ordered our troops to go north immediately to quell the demons. The tens of thousands of troops of the Demon Crow King have rushed out of the demon domain and are about to sweep Liangzhou."

Liu Zheng was taken aback.

He said in amazement: "So the Lord didn't lead the army to defeat the Qiang, but went north to intercept the monster clan?"

"Yes, the monster race is a big deal, and it is related to thousands of living beings in Liangzhou."

"Jun Hou mobilized all the combat power he could mobilize, and went north to intercept the monster clan."

"In addition, many local sects in Liangzhou were also invited to join the battle. Time is running out, and no one knows what will happen in a few days."

Cao Su said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, the Demon King Xuanya was blocked in the demon domain by Da Neng, and he has never left the demon domain so far."
