This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 685 West State
In the sixth year of Xuanhe, Taishi Rongzheng raised three armies to attack General Cao Su.

In less than three months, the general led tens of thousands of cavalry like divine soldiers to descend to the capital of God, and killed Rong Zheng, Rong Sheng and his son.

As the general entered the capital of God, the previous three-way army became a tree without roots.

Zhu Ming had turned against the Grand Master all the way. In the battle of Shendu, he attacked the Grand Master together with Cao Jun. However, Zhu Ming's high-end combat power was not much, and he couldn't do anything, so he controlled it. The tens of thousands of imperial troops who were originally loyal to the grand master prevented them from entering the imperial city for a while.

The remaining two routes are the Zhencang Division of the East Route Army and the Chu Xinfeng Division of the Middle Route Army.

The original composition of the two troops was relatively complicated. Like the road led by Zhen Cang, it took a short time to become an army. Although he was worshiped as the commander of the road by Rong Zheng, not many people were loyal to him from the beginning to the end. When the news of Su's fall and grand master's defeat came, the group of people along the way quickly collapsed. There were those who surrendered to Cao Su, some who were anxious to take the head of Zhencang to ask for meritorious service, and some who joined Zhencang to fight against Ling Those who fled in the direction of the state.

Attacking Beizhou became a joke, and Zhen Cang led the remnants to retreat to Yincheng of Lingzhou.

But Chu Xinfeng retreated into Yuzhou with a relatively complete army, and was also eager to attack the land of Yuzhou, wanting to quickly consolidate the territory and stabilize the morale of the army before Cao Su's army attacked again.

However, before Cao Su's army arrived, Zhencang and Wei Hai in Lingzhou fought.

In August, Zhencang and Wei Hai fought on the East Sea of ​​Lingzhou. Wei Hai lost to the former No. [-] general in Jizhou and retreated to Xiangcheng in Lingzhou. Zhencang's troops were greatly motivated by this and gradually gained a firm foothold in Lingzhou. .

However, just when everyone thought that Zhencang was about to take Lingzhou, the Yinjiao Army of Lingzhou Prefecture who was originally in Lingzhou suddenly appeared behind Zhencang and attacked Zhencang.

Zhencang's army was broken by the Yinjiao army, and Zhencang himself was defeated by the three brothers Zhang Yin of Lingzhou Prefecture, and retreated to Dengcheng, a small town in the north of Jiangzhou.

From this, the whole Lingzhou was transformed into three divisions, one in Wei Hai, one in Zhang Yin, and one in Zhen Cang, among which Zhen Cang had the weakest foundation.

In the middle of October in the sixth year of Xuanhe, the westerly wind gradually picked up, and the northern land was icy cold.

The heavy snow started from Xizhou and went all the way to Shendu. The white snow covered the whole world.

Xizhou has been in turmoil for years, and it was short of food and supplies, but now it is snowing again. Tao Mingwen, who claims to be the "lord of Xizhou", gathered 20 Xizhou soldiers and came towards Yongzhou Pass.

In the same month, Cao Su assembled [-] elite soldiers in Shendu, worshiped Su Chao as his commander, and attacked Xizhou.

Who is this Su Dynasty?Many people are confused, even in the army there are many dissatisfied people. On the day when the Western Conqueror Army became an army, many generals saw Su Chao for the first time. They saw that Su Chao was young, slender, with a face like a crown. Jade, like a handsome scholar.

The general worshiped a scholar as handsome?

Everyone was even more dissatisfied, but no one dared to oppose Cao Su.

The generals accompanying the Su Dynasty also included Ma Chao, Shi Yong, Luo Yushu, Miao Hongji and other young generals.

The commander-in-chief is a scholar, and the lieutenants are all young generals. The general has [-] soldiers and horses, and entrusts the state affairs to Zhu Zi. This mysterious operation stunned everyone in Shendu City.

But soldiers and horses only respect Cao Su, and Cao Su can be appointed as he wants.

The only thing that those who are interested have noticed is that this Western Expedition, except for some elite Cao Jun, most of the soldiers and horses are the forbidden army of the original gods. The general ordered a large number of forbidden troops to move out of Xiguan and enter Xizhou to fight.
-
General's Mansion, Study Room.

Outside the study, Cao Jun's elite stood, the solemn atmosphere lingered, the guards were tightly guarded, and no one dared to approach unless ordered by the general.

Opposite Cao Su, a young man sat indifferently, with red lips and white teeth, like a scholar.

He looked at Cao Su lazily, without any fear or restraint towards the general in his eyes.

It's like being in your own home.

Cao Su felt very strange. The person in front of him was a phantom reincarnation created by him using the phantom reincarnation technique. It could also be said to be a clone of him, possessing one-third of his overall strength.

The virtual image reincarnation technique is indeed a miraculous technique, but the conditions for using it are too strict, and it is not easy to practice successfully.

If he hadn't possessed the essence and could do it quickly, he wouldn't be able to practice such a miraculous skill in a while.

And after this skill is practiced, the greatest use is to create a clone, using the method of living sacrifice, the stronger the previous strength of the living, the stronger the strength that can carry Cao Su.

From the side of the defeated grand master, Cao Su found a martial artist of the second rank of strength to complete the phantom reincarnation.

After three days, the phantom reincarnation appeared in front of him.

Cao Su's avatar possessed all the martial arts before Xu Xiang reincarnated, but his strength was not as strong as Cao Su's. Overall, it should be about [-]% of his strength.

But even if it is [-]% strength, it is almost a first-rank battle strength.

It's a pity that Cao Su's supernatural powers are not available in this phantom reincarnated body. Including the Shenlei Mysterious Physique, what the phantom reincarnated body can inherit seems to be only Cao Su's martial arts. into this reincarnated body.

Cao Su thought that such a reincarnation must be controlled by him, but in fact he was wrong again.

After the reincarnation, the avatar was like another "he". Although Cao Su could clearly perceive everything he did, he had the ability to think independently and make his own choices, and was split from his body Ordinary, born of him, but not him.

Such magical skills are almost against the sky. No wonder the ancestors of the Rong family kept the connection to Tiancheng hidden from the past.

Looking at Su Chao's handsome face and cynical smile, Cao Su always felt that something was wrong, but he could clearly perceive that he could receive all of Su Chao's thoughts at this moment, and he could even make a decision with just one thought. Let Su Dynasty self-destruct.

"Brother, don't worry too much. After you go to Tongtian City, I will take care of your wife and children."

"What? You don't believe me? If you don't believe me, it means that you don't believe in yourself. The big deal is that you just accept me. Anyway, if you have a thought, I will be gone. I am you, and you are still you. You don't care about it." Can't figure it out?"

Su Chao shrugged his shoulders, and straightened his legs in front of Cao Su: "You have become a general, be more open-minded, and don't always put pressure on yourself."

"After I help you get rid of Tao Mingwen, I will deal with those people in Jiannan Road, those thieves in the south, they are not good. As long as you don't think about such unreliable things as Suo Erqiao, I will take care of you." Guaranteed to help you pacify the world within three years, when you become the emperor, I will be your elder, and after you go to Tongtian City, I will also help you guard this Qianyuan, how about it?"

"Hey, how did I speak my mind?"

Su Chao's indifferent attitude made the corners of Cao Su's mouth twitch.

He also comforted Cao Su in turn: "Don't you understand my wisdom? It's all your wisdom. From now on, you will sit firmly in the city of God and strive to break through to the mysterious realm within three years. I will help you build a great world .”

"Yes, you should study carefully how we got here and see if there is a way to go back."

Su Chao tried his best to speak out what was in his heart, but in the end he failed to say the two most important words in his heart, but the implication was always encouraging Cao Su to practice hard and strive to grasp more secrets of this world as soon as possible.

He spoke a lot in one breath, and Cao Su usually just listened to him from the sidelines.

When he had finished speaking, Cao Su spoke slowly again: "Tao Mingwen is not that easy to fight. This guy has already broken away from the scope of the early peasant uprising army, and he can even be treated as a warlord."

Su Chao smiled and said, "Don't scare me, then you still got a group of brats to beat Tao Mingwen?"

Cao Su sneered and said, "What's wrong with the boy? Didn't you see that I named him Ma Chao? Ma Chao is the god of war in Xiliang. These boys are all outstanding in martial arts, and they are all good at riding and fighting. Xizhou has an open area. , you take them to fight Tao Mingwen, don't be rigid in your thinking, just blindly pursue the main decisive battle."

"I understand, I understand, you just want to train soldiers, and take care of the original forbidden army by the way."

The two of you know my thoughts, and I know your thoughts. Although they are independent individuals, they are connected with each other. What Su Chao said is exactly what Cao Su thought, but Cao Su never said it before. Now this Su Chao's character is out of character, completely reproduced and magnified the most out of character part of Cao Su's character.

That kind of detachment may only be like this in his previous life. In this life, after experiencing such a killing and dark world, his personality has long been calm and introverted.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you."

What Cao Su emphasized at the end has not been uttered yet, Su Chao already knows: "Understood, I found the place where the previous demon king was. Wow, the demon king is full of treasures. After cutting it off, there is still essence to be collected. If It’s much better to find their lair to do a wave than self-cultivation.”

Cao Su: .——
In the front hall of the General's Mansion, court generals Zhu Ming, Wang Meng, and Wang Qing were waiting, and several ministers of the Military Aircraft Pavilion gathered.

After Cao Su established the Military Aircraft Pavilion, there were a total of one chief assistant, one second assistant, and three auxiliary ministers. At present, there are four assistant ministers who are scheduled to enter the Military Aircraft Pavilion, Weng Xiao, Jiang Qi, Wei Kai, and Zhongjin. There is one vacancy.

As for the positions of first assistant and second assistant, Cao Su has not yet decided.

They are also considered to be the most powerful people in the court other than Feng Yuchan.

Among them, Zhu Ming can be regarded as the former general who newly voted for Cao Su.

"How long has the general been meeting Su Chao?"

Wang Meng has the most anxious temper, and he is Cao Su's "professional mentor". When Cao Su was in its infancy, he had a life-and-death relationship with Cao Su. , Wang Meng and Wei Kai have always had a high status in the Cao Su Group. Although in fact Wang Meng's current strength is only the fourth rank, and he has not even reached the top rank of the strength realm, but his status is very high, and the guards around him There are two people in his top-rank strength realm.

He spoke directly and asked everyone's feelings.

Especially several civil servants, each of them has a heavy heart.

I thought that Zhu Ming, Wang Meng, and Wang Qing would be chosen for the position of General Zhengxi. Among them, there is a high probability that Zhu Ming, who has a calm temper and has a lot of military power himself, will fight. It just so happens that the general can also borrow This opportunity is to weaken part of Zhu Ming's military power.

Zhu Ming himself was well prepared, and if he weakened, he would be weakened, at least he could guarantee that he would be able to serve under the trust of the general.

Unexpectedly, the final result was that the general found a scholar to take command.

The scholar called him "Su Chao", and there was no news about it before, and everyone didn't know anything about Su Chao.

But this Su Dynasty is still very trusted by the general, and I have seen this in the general's mansion today. If they want to see the general on weekdays, they need to make an appointment for a while, and the conversation will not exceed half an hour, but How long has it been now, and the two of them haven't even walked out of the study.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Chao was a man, everyone even wondered if the general was bewitched by beauty?
Seeing that Wang Meng was becoming more irritable, Wei Kai reminded in a deep voice: "Wang Meng, wait a little longer."

Wang Meng touched his head, paced back and forth, sighed slightly in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "It's been almost two hours now? The general hasn't come out yet? What kind of ecstasy soup did the Su Dynasty give the general?" , even that little boy can be the coach of the Western Expedition? Isn't the general confused!"

Speaking of this, Wei Kai's expression suddenly changed, he glared at Wang Meng, and scolded, "What are you talking about?"

Wang Meng was taken aback, knowing that he had said a few more words, he quickly closed his mouth, but his eyes were still dissatisfied.

Before Zhu Ming could speak, Wang Qing said from the side: "Brother Wang, wait a little longer, you've been waiting for such a long time, and you can't wait for the next time."

Among the assistant ministers of Military Aircraft Pavilion, only Wei Kai and Wang Meng spoke, the other three were very patient.

Sitting meritorious service can be regarded as the skill of a literati, don't say wait a little longer now, if the general really sits in the golden palace in the future, the time to make them wait will only get longer and longer in the future, you can't wait for this, what are you doing? ?
Several people are more enlightened than Wang Meng, and on the other hand, they also feel that Wang Meng is really courageous, daring to say what the general said.

Of course, in addition to their emotion, they will also feel a little bit more envy and jealousy. The relationship between Wang Meng and Cao Su is very clear. This kind of caring best friend at such a delicate time is probably more precious than the future contribution of Conglong.

Everyone had different thoughts, and after waiting for a while, Cao Sucai and Su Chao walked out of the study slowly and came to the front hall for discussion.

Su Chao sat in the last position of generals, just to fill the position of the last generals. Four people from Military Machine Pavilion faced four generals, and a total of eight people sat in the conference hall.

Everyone stared at Su Chao, but Su Chao's expression remained the same. He was scrutinized by many bigwigs in the court, but there was no change in his expression.

Cao Su on the high seat said: "Everyone, let me introduce you to Su Chao, the great general who conquers the West."
