Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

It has been five days since Su Yuan landed in Haizhou from the east coast.

He has been leading troops forward since he landed, but he doesn't know much about the local customs.Now that he has stabilized for the time being, he also went down the street under the protection of his guards and walked around a few times.

He observed that the city in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed very different from that in the north of the Yangtze River.Probably because it often rains here, every house is covered with a long edge to keep out the rain.

And many people have wicker shoes on the window sills, which are a kind of shoes used when going to the rice fields.

There are a lot of messy things, but people can't see a few.

Because Fucheng is still in a state of semi-martial law, the people are not allowed to go to the streets at will, and the people in the city basically stay in their homes, and the only people you can see on the street are the soldiers of the Bei'an Army patrolling.

"Master, there seems to be nothing to see outside." Ju Jian said.She followed Su Yuan for a long time, and found that this place was far worse than the capital.Not to mention the capital, even Taiyuan can't compare.

Su Yuan nodded: "It's a bit disheartened."

In his opinion, Haizhou is still a slightly better state in the south of the Yangtze River, but Fucheng still gives people a sense of depression.The reason for this feeling is the lack of public facilities.

There are almost no schools and pharmacies on the street. They are all big houses, or places for eating, drinking and having fun, such as restaurants and brothels.

It can be seen that even if Shi Ming's state shepherd is better than other state shepherds, it's not much better.At best, he is the tallest among the dwarfs.

Like most state shepherds, Shi Ming also came from a big local family, so he naturally has to take care of his own family business.

Su Yuan raised his eyes to look at a teahouse not far away, and the four characters "Shijia Tea Industry" on the door plate were particularly conspicuous.

Along the way, he has seen many brands prefixed with "Shi's", which shows that most of the city's economic lifeline is in the hands of the Shi's.

But that too was in the past.

Su Yuan looked away.Shen Lian is currently leading people to search the Shi family, and soon the Shi family will be the same as ordinary people, or even worse than ordinary people.

As they walked all the way to the end of the street, Su Yuan had an intuitive understanding of the city.He turned around to go back, when suddenly a private house on the side of the street opened, and three men rushed out with machetes!

"what!!!"

The three of them slashed towards Su Yuan, seeing that the staring and mouth-opening look was crazy.

Su Yuan frowned, without him saying anything, the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum around him had already made a move.

A few flashes of sword light flashed, and the heads of the three people holding the kitchen knife separated.

"You actually want to assassinate the master!"

With a fierce look on Mei Jian's face, she rushed into the private house with one stride.Immediately afterwards, several exclamations came from inside.

Afterwards, Mei Jian came out with his sword in hand, and said to Su Yuan, "Master, all the threats have been eliminated!"

"Um……"

Su Yuan knew that the remaining people in the private house should not have much fighting power, but he did not stop Mei Jian.

In the face of assassination, he also believed that we should kill the grass and roots.

Moreover, he also now understands that among the many cities he has conquered, the city of Haizhou is undoubtedly the one with the strongest will to resist.

The people here have lived for tens of hundreds of years under the management of the Shi family, and they have long been accustomed to the original pattern.Now that the Bei'an army has come and killed a large number of Haizhou people's troops, it is only natural that the people will resent them.

But this is war, not child's play.War kills, and many die.

If he had to choose between his own death and someone else's death, Su Yuan would choose the latter [-] times.

When he returned to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Zhou Shu and Xun Yu were very worried when they heard that he had been assassinated.

In the courtyard, Zhou Shu said to Su Yuan: "You should not leave the mansion recently. There are too many people in the city who want to kill the Bei'an army. It's still very dangerous."

"I can understand, but I can't accept these hostility." Su Yuandao, "A group of people who are hostile to me and the Bei'an Army will gather together, and sooner or later they will cause trouble."

Su Yuan paused, and then said: "All the soldiers of the Bei'an Army are very important. I would feel bad if one of them died. If they died in a deliberate attack by the people of Haizhou, then I would definitely not accept it."

His voice was a little cold, and Zhou Shu's expression slowly changed.

"You don't mean to... you wouldn't do that, do you?"

Zhou Shu looked at Su Yuan, who was stunned for a moment when he saw the pleading look in her expression.

"What do you think I'm going to do? Massacre the city?"

"..."

Zhou Shu was silent, and Su Yuan was also speechless: "Of course I wouldn't do that."

Zhou Shu actually knew that Su Yuan wasn't that crazy, but his expression was too serious just now, which scared her a little.

Now that Su Yuan clearly denied it, she felt relieved, but she was curious about how Su Yuan would solve this dilemma.

This hatred can't be resolved easily, it doesn't work just by giving the people some benefits.

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhou Shu asked.

"It's very simple." Su Yuan said a solution that surprised Zhou Shu.

"When the time is right, I will break up the people of Haizhou and send them to different places."

"what……"

"Send everyone to Jiangbei and disperse them in various counties. Even if they have hatred in their hearts, what can they do if they don't have enough manpower? In this way, the hatred will disappear as time goes by."

The method Su Yuan mentioned is not common in modern times.That is to say, "change the environment".

Before he traveled, he often heard such remarks. Many people said that they felt too much work pressure, and their colleagues were all overtime kings.Then simply change to a more comfortable environment, so that you will relax.

This method can be used on the people of Haizhou.

A group of people with a hatred in their hearts coming together only deepens the hatred every day.But if these people are dispersed and scattered among the people who respect and love the Bei'an Army, then these people will gradually change.

This is the reason why those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black.

After Zhou Shu wanted to understand Su Yuan's strategy, he had to feel that it was indeed a good strategy, but also a very cruel one.

Fortunately, it will indeed have an effect, but the cruelty is that many people will be forced to leave their homes and start a new life in a completely strange place.

You must know that many people have never been out of the city in their entire lives, and they know nothing about the world outside the city.Forcing them to leave is undoubtedly a different kind of torture.

Of course, this approach is naturally hundreds and thousands of times gentler than massacring the city.

Zhou Shu didn't object to Su Yuan, she knew that this was already a manifestation of Su Yuan's humanity.If he really makes him feel angry again, no one knows what he will do.

The wrath of the emperor caused millions of corpses to bleed for thousands of miles.Su Yuan, who controls the Bei'an army, will only be more terrifying than the emperor... For this reason, it is the most correct choice not to stimulate his emotions.

This is Zhou Shu's experience. She grew up in the palace and knows all about this kind of thing.

"If you want to do this, you have to wait until the end of the unification."

"Of course." Su Yuan said, "Before the reunification, there were not so many boats to transport the people. Speaking of which, counting the days, it is estimated that they will arrive after the light of day."

……

The Bei'an Army fleet docked on the east coast of Haizhou, where the soldiers left by Su Yuan were there to support them.

After the meeting, Qi Jiguang first arranged for someone to report to Su Yuan that he had arrived.Then he followed the trajectory of Su Yuan's march.

Although Su Yuan's vanguard captured many cities along the way, they did not actually occupy them.

There are only a thousand people in total, and Su Yuan can't just leave a group of people after he conquers a place, because he won't have enough people.

So after Su Yuan led his troops away, the places he laid down returned to their original state.Now that Qi Jiguang walks again, he has completely occupied it.

……

Su Yuan, who lives in the State Shepherd's Mansion, had received news two days ago that Qi Jiguang would arrive in the prefecture today.But he is more concerned about what can be summoned today.

The number of seven-day summons has been refreshed. Su Yuan holds a soldier talisman and chooses to summon after midnight.

Last time Xuanwu was enough to surprise him, no matter what it was this time, he would accept it calmly.

[Successful Summoning: Obtain Ancient Artifact Shards]

What the hell!

Seeing the prompt, Su Yuan was immediately taken aback.

Last time it was a beast, this time it was a piece of artifact?
I am transferred?

He continued to look, and when he saw what kind of fragment it was, he gasped.

[Ancient Artifact Fragment: Nuwa Stone Fragment]

type: special

Quantity: 1
Remarks: Contains a trace of aura of Goddess Nuwa, carrying it with you can prolong your life and speed up your cultivation.

……

Nuwa stone fragments!
Su Yuan summoned it without saying a word, and immediately, a round stone of seven colors appeared in his palm.

It's a little cold to start with, but it's very comfortable.From the moment he held it, Su Yuan felt an incomparably majestic yet very gentle force pouring into his body.

This feeling was so wonderful that he immediately fell into a state of immersion.

He felt that his whole body was undergoing a strange transformation.This kind of transformation is more comfortable than when Zhen Miao used his true energy to open up his meridians.

He seemed to be immersed in a sweet dream, and he did not know how long it took before he slowly regained his awareness of his surroundings.

Su Yuan came back to his senses and looked out the window, the sky was already bright.This moment of obsession has actually passed for several hours!

He looked down at the nuwa stone fragments in his palm and found that they had disappeared.But when he felt it carefully, he was surprised to find that the fragment had actually integrated into his body.

"I seem to be... able to see inside and outside of my body? Can I still... control it?"

Su Yuan can now easily look inside his body, and he can also move acupuncture points and twist bones as he likes!
This is definitely not the effect of prolonging life, but the effect of practice!
Is it...

Su Yuan thought of something and raised his hand slightly.

Following the thought, a golden light emerged from his palm.

"This is true yuan!!!"

Su Yuan was overjoyed.

He had seen the true energy of many masters in the rivers and lakes, and he knew that this was the strength that would only be condensed by a master and above.

But now, he actually has real energy!Moreover, it seems to be...infinite...

Su Yuan found that he didn't need to mobilize any power in his body to condense this true energy, he just needed to rely on his thoughts!

This makes him extremely excited, because if he can do this, I am afraid that he is already a grand master?No... You have already surpassed the realm of a great master!

"Nuwa stone fragments... the effect is too powerful..."

Su Yuan still couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it carefully, what is a great master to a great god like Nu Wa?What are land gods?
The condensed fragments of her spiritual power will naturally be precious existences that surpass everything in this world of martial arts...

If it is said that the sacred stone obtained in Dongwa earlier, it will make people in the Jianghu fight over their heads.If the people of Jianghu knew about the existence of the Nüwa stone fragments, they would go crazy and snatch them.

Unfortunately, it has now been absorbed and assimilated by Su Yuan, and has become a part of his body.

Moreover, Su Yuan, who absorbed this fragment, has obtained a strength that even he himself does not know how strong it is!
There is no reference, and he doesn't know what level he is, but in terms of physical feelings alone, he has a strange feeling that "nothing can hurt me".

And his perception has also been enhanced to the limit.Now that he closes his eyes, he can feel almost everything in the whole city. If he wants to, he can know what anyone is saying or doing...

"This is already a little scary."

Su Yuan withdrew his perception. The experience of "seeing" what the whole city was doing was really not very good.

But he was still very excited. This summoning allowed him to get the most valuable thing for himself so far!

The previous summons, even if there were many strong people, were all "external".This summoning greatly strengthened Su Yuan himself.

This made him transform from a weak chicken who only knew how to maintain his health to a peerless master in the world!

This kind of change is so big that Su Yuan himself is not used to it for a while.

Feeling his new self, he went out to find Zhao Yun after a while.

"My lord, do you have something to do with me?"

"Zilong, can you perceive my current cultivation level?"

Su Yuan asked.

Zhao Yundao: "I can't perceive it. My lord seems to be the same as usual."

"yes."

Su Yuan thought to himself, it seems that when he doesn't use real energy, he is just like an ordinary person, and there is no such thing as "expert breath".

"What about now?" He raised his palm, and the golden essence emerged.

At this moment, Zhao Yun's face was terrified.

"My lord! This is you!!"

"What realm is this?"

"...My lord, please make amends, the general will not be able to perceive it!" Zhao Yun said truthfully, "The general can only feel it, and the master's cultivation must at least surpass the general's level."

At least one big realm beyond Zhao Yun?

Su Yuan thought, Zhao Yun is the pinnacle of the grand master, and he is about to break through the grand master.

His heart moved, and he asked: "How does it compare to the original Zhenmiao?"

Zhao Yundao: "My lord, both you and senior Zhenmiao have surpassed the general too much, and the general cannot judge the level of the two of you."

"That's it."

Su Yuan nodded, and then said: "You, Zilong, accompany me to practice outside the city. I just got this power, so I have to get used to how to use it."

"Yes, my lord!"

Without further ado, Zhao Yun went outside the city with Su Yuan.At this time, they happened to see the Bei'an army led by Qi Jiguang coming along the official road in the distance.
