This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 689
Xuanhe six years.

The empire ended its final days in a state of turmoil.

After several months of recuperation, the capital of the gods finally has a bit of human atmosphere, at least before the New Year's Day, there can be some peace.

However, a little peace is only an appearance on the outside. In the eyes of the actual rulers of the empire, they know that the empire is still precarious and in danger.

Beacon fires are lit on the east, south, and west sides. For the people of the gods, places thousands of miles away are out of reach. Even the vast majority of civilians may not be able to leave this huge place in their entire lives. city.

And the so-called beacon fire thousands of miles away, as long as it doesn't burn in front of your eyes, it's nothing.

If it weren't for the turmoil in God's City before, when monsters attacked the city, causing tens of thousands of deaths, God's City would still be a scene of singing and dancing.

As Cao Su transported grain from several states in the north to Shendu, the people of Shendu spent this winter smoothly.

Xuanhe seventh year, February.

The newly established Shenwu Academy officially enrolls students, and the first batch of students and materials are in place. Cao Su personally serves as the first president of the Shenwu Academy and gave a lecture to the students of the Shenwu Academy.

It seems to be a common practice in the school for the principal to give the first lesson to the students.

However, with the great general Cao Su personally serving as the principal of the Shenwu Academy, the current Guozijian has been left out in the cold.

Guozijian was originally just a place for reading. With the development of the times and the needs of reality, Guozijian has also added different categories such as martial arts, law, array, alchemy, etc., and has indeed become a comprehensive reading place. , and the Shenwu Academy, which is just one street away from the Guozijian, has not much more curriculum content than the Guozijian. The only advantage is that the students recruited by the Shenwu Academy are more pure, pure warriors, or pure ascetics.

After arriving at the Shenwu Academy, according to the established rules, they must temporarily put aside their original identities and put all their energy on martial arts cultivation.

The competition in the Shenwu Academy is fierce, and only those who have reached the top level of strength can be regarded as meeting the assessment standards of a general.

Different from Guozijian, Shenwu Academy has a fierce assessment. It is not that after entering the academy, you will get the recommended status. If you do not meet the standards, you will be eliminated. It is precisely because of the elimination mechanism that there is a tragic atmosphere that all students will retreat if they do not advance. , starting from the Beiwu Academy, the strength of the students who entered the academy can improve by leaps and bounds.

After the establishment of the Shenwu Academy, within a few days, the Beiwu Academy faction headed by Ruan Yang in the academy once again submitted a letter to the court.

The letter stated the great achievements of the great general Cao Su, praised the great general Cao Su as a sage, and deserved to be regarded as the king of the empire.

It's for the king of Yan.

Yan is the ancient name of Youzhou, and Cao Su has gained a firm foothold since Youzhou and became a prominent figure in the world. Therefore, it is reasonable to call Cao Su "Yan King".

This matter was brought up by a few daring students. The students solemnly signed their names in the letter and handed it over to the court.

The incident was quite a big deal, and the general Cao Su was alarmed to go to the Shenwu Academy in person.
-
The Shenwu Academy is located at the end of Buzheng Street, and some green bamboos are planted outside the academy.

The green bamboo in the winter looks a bit bleak, and the plaque on the door of the school is still inscribed by Cao Su himself, with the words "Dear and Sincere".

Through the front yard of the school, there is a bamboo forest. Different from the bamboo forest outside the school, the bamboo forest inside the school grows better, and the pillars are also thicker.

A group of students, probably more than a hundred people, the number of students enrolled in the first phase of the Shenwu Academy is similar to that of the Beiwu Academy.

All the students were sitting in the bamboo grove, and there were several people standing beside the stone table in front of them with strong aura.

The leader was more than eight feet long and as strong as a dragon. Although he was dressed in brocade clothes, he could still feel the strong bloody aura on his body.

"Bullshit!"

Cao Su flicked his sleeves abruptly, his face livid.

A group of students knelt down in front of Cao Su, and the leader was Ruan Yang, a student from Beidi who mainly planned this matter.

Ruan Yang looked at Cao Su with fanatical and respectful eyes, knelt down on his knees, and said loudly: "General, these are our words from the bottom of our hearts. Sweeping the world and leveling the world, there are millions of lions today, and it depends on the efforts of the princes, why is the world injustice, and the great work cannot be accomplished?"

A large part of what Ruan Yang represents is the interests of Wu Xun from the North. Now Cao Su treats the North people kindly. The soft power has improved significantly. Although only one of the Western States is mobilizing weapons and a hundred thousand troops, in fact, the four northern states do not feel any pressure.

But such a scene will be further weakened as the gods are stabilized next year.

If the north is stable, the gods will be stable, and if the gods are stable, the world will be safe. Now Ruan Yang and a group of disciples from the Shenwu Academy proposed that Cao Su be king. At such a time point, it is appropriate.

However, Cao Su himself was very angry, but before he could answer Ruan Yang's words, Wei Kai beside Cao Su spoke first: "You want to make the general abolish the establishment?"

Being king is not far from becoming emperor, Wei Kai suddenly tore off this layer of film, many students' hearts trembled, they all lowered their heads after being swept by his sharp eyes.

Only this Ruan Yang was not afraid, and replied with a straight voice: "The emperor has lost his virtue, and the throne should be occupied by the virtuous."

"Bullshit!"

Cao Su couldn't listen anymore, and scolded Ruan Yang again: "The reason why Cao was able to shake the world and command the world is because of the name of Qianyuan. Today, all the princes are equal, how can we lightly abolish him?" What? Isn’t this a must-have move?”

With the throne close at hand, Cao Su's impassioned speech surprised everyone.

The eyes of Conglong's people were all red. Unexpectedly, Zhenlong was sober-headed and flatly rejected thousands of temptations.

Wei Kai next to Cao Su showed admiration. He knew that Cao Suzhi was not here, but he never thought that Cao Su could still be sober when he was about to become the most powerful person in the world. This is so rare. This is why he Is it possible to go to today's sake?
Cao Su looked at the group of young people who were excited and awakened by Cao Su's righteous words, and said, "You are all excellent students of the Shenwu Academy. Today, although you have already had a lot A small improvement, but there is still a long way to go to stand alone. The life of Mrs. Wu is said to be a lifetime if it is long, and it is only a few decades if it is short. If you want to go further If you are far away, you must maintain a pure heart, and don't be fooled by external interference."

Cao Su's earnest words had a strong lethality and influence on many students of the Shenwu Academy. Some students blushed and thought about themselves during this time. Was it too frivolous?
Even Ruan Yang, who had always been determined to make the general king, panicked, blushing at what Cao Su said, not knowing what to say.

Cao Su said in a deep voice: "So, the growth of one's own strength is the most important thing. The Qianyuan Empire has suffered too much pain. As the future of the empire, you should not be blinded by ordinary things anymore. Looking ahead, put your mind on your studies, if the world is at peace, and all people are safe and healthy, then what does it matter if there is no Cao Mou to be the co-lord of the world?"

"General, I understand!"

Ruan Yang stepped forward and said loudly: "We will live up to the general's entrustment, practice martial arts diligently, study the art of war, strive to lead the army to fight as soon as possible, conquer the world, and wipe out the remaining thieves for the general!"

"Yes, wipe out the remaining thieves!"

A group of students understood that what the general meant was to let them not get involved now and concentrate on practicing.

Such a good platform of the Shenwu Academy is placed here, and they are all the favored children of various schools and factions. They practice each other here and prove their martial arts. They have new gains almost every day. The Beiwu Academy has been established in such a short time There are already many people who have broken through to the top level, and the Shenwu Academy gathers geniuses from the north, and the number of people who break through will only increase.

Cao Su looked at this passionate young man, and couldn't help showing a smile.

That's right, the production team should have such vigor and energy. What do you do with those people every day?Isn't it good to practice hard?When these people break through to the upper rank of the strength realm, at least ten thousand people will start when these people are released. Are you afraid that they will not be able to make great achievements?
Rather than caring about whether he becomes king or not, it is better to practice hard. Although Cao Su is not short of these few essences, if he can always achieve something, it will be an inexhaustible driving force for his continuous improvement.
-
Xuanhe seventh year, March.

Battle reports came from Xizhou that the Seventh Route Army led by General Su Chao encountered Tao Mingwen's main force in Liangxi.

Tao Mingwen's main force is the top military force that Tao Mingwen chose from the top armed forces in the three western states. After several years of development, this army under his command has a special title, called "Red Dragon Army".

The Red Dragon Army is also composed of all Qi and blood warriors, with a total of 3000 people. The top generals are known as the Dragon Army's Four King Kongs, and they are all top-rank warriors.

The Seventh Route Army led by Su Chao this time suddenly encountered Tao Mingwen's Red Dragon Army and was directly defeated by it. Su Chao retreated eighty miles and retreated to Xiding City, a small city in Liangzhou.

However, the Red Dragon Army pursued and killed Su Chao relentlessly. Su Chao had no choice but to call up several groups of troops that had been scattered before. The two sides fought again in Xiding City. The lives of famous soldiers, food and grass were plundered countless times by the Red Dragon Army. The Su Dynasty was defeated and retreated to Yongzhou, where they deployed defenses around Guyuan City.

The news of Su Chao's successive defeats was quickly transmitted back to the court. Yongzhou is very close to Xiguan, and after passing Xiguan, it is the boundary of the capital of God.

Therefore, it can be said that the unfavorable war is almost the news in front of you. How can such news not shock the court?

On March [-]th, at the court meeting, the veteran faction headed by Feng Yuchan took the initiative to impeach and defeat the Su Dynasty.

In the past few months, the number of court meetings has become less and less, and the number of times the officials have seen the emperor has also become less and less. As soon as the Military Machine Pavilion is in charge of major affairs in the world, General Cao Su's power in the court has become more and more fierce. Many people are rumoring that, As long as the Su Dynasty pacifies Xizhou, the general will take advantage of the situation and become king.

There is not much time left for Feng Yuchan and others, today is an excellent opportunity.

Feng Yuchan opened his mouth, and all the courtiers spoke uprightly and sternly, starting from the perspective of state affairs, discussing the matter on a case-by-case basis, believing that the Su Dynasty should be responsible.

Feng Yuchan, who was a Situ, said: "General, Su Chao is a person with no merit at all. He was able to occupy a high position only after gaining the trust of the General. He has never proved his abilities to the court. Now the battle in Xizhou proves that Su Chao has little talent and learning, and it is really difficult for him to take the post of the commander of Zhengxi. In my opinion, it is better to choose another excellent general from Shendu to fight instead of Su Chao. This may be able to turn the tide."

Cao Su only told about the merits and status of the Su Dynasty to the ministers of the Military Machine Pavilion and a few senior generals in the army. These people are now loyal to Cao Su and have never disclosed this matter. I don't know where Su Chao came from, but I only know that this person is deeply trusted by Cao Su, and he has first-class skills. He can be regarded as one of the new top minions beside Cao Su.

If you can take advantage of this opportunity, destroy this minion.
Feng Yuchan and the others were not devoid of such intentions, but on the surface they still discussed the solution from the perspective of state affairs.

"That's right, the Red Dragon Army under Tao Mingwen's command is a world-renowned top military force. Su Chao, with his high martial arts skills, divided his troops in depth. As a result, he was ambushed by the enemy's Red Dragon Army. Defeat, this is no longer a matter of ignorance, this is completely a nonsense of a person who does not know how to fight!" Among the ministers, Li Rang also came out to criticize Su Chao. From a standpoint, it can only be sprayed to death.

After the two finished speaking, several veteran ministers also expressed their opinions.

But there are also veterans who expressed "worries about changing generals before the battle", and changing coaches during wartime is a big taboo.

Cao Su took a look at this old minister named Cai Shu. He was a minister of the Ministry of Engineering who was engaged in engineering.

Cao Su said indifferently: "The Su Dynasty has not yet been defeated, so it is too early to talk about changing generals. Haven't you all heard that the generals will not accept the orders of their rulers?"

Cao Su's reaction was very flat, as if he was unhappy with the successive defeats of the Su Dynasty, but this response did not surprise Feng Yuchan and others. Feng Yuchan and Li Rang exchanged glances for a while, and then Feng Yuchan He opened the mouth and said: "But the war in Xizhou is unfavorable. It is an indisputable fact after all. It is about to enter the spring plowing season. The gods must not be destroyed by the bandit army, otherwise this year will be even more difficult. Therefore, Xiguan must not be lost."

Xiguan?

Cao Su glanced at Feng Yuchan, Feng Yuchan bowed his head and offered advice: "General, there are only about [-] guards in the Xiguan Guard now, the number is too small, even if the Xiguan is majestic, it can't stop the enemy. Therefore, adding troops to Xiguan to guard against bandits in Xizhou is the most important thing."

"And Xiguan should choose a top famous general to guard. If the Su Dynasty loses again, this famous general can also be sent to gather the remnant army and succeed the Su Dynasty."

"The lower officials seconded the proposal."

"The lower officials also seconded."

Many courtiers thought this was a good strategy, so they seconded it one after another.

Cao Su narrowed his eyes slightly. Previously, he refused to change generals before the battle, and he had exercised the power of "one-vote veto". Now it is indeed inappropriate to refuse such a reasonable request, so he glanced at Feng Yuchan, He asked with a smile, "There is no top guard in Xiguan, what recommendation does Feng Situ have?"
