Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 47 Destruction
The wind is bleak, and the setting sun is like blood.

Down the gourd mountain, there is a strong smell of blood, which drifts into the distance with the wind.

In Cangzhang County, the people didn't go out for a day, and they were all terrified.

They smelled the bloody smell in the air, wondering how many people died.

Many young people and children who had never seen this battle were terrified, while some older people were very indifferent.

It should be known that before the establishment of Beifeng City and Beijiang Camp, the Rong people often plundered on horseback, and every city in Mozhou suffered catastrophe. Only those who have seen the scene know what it is like to make blood and mud.

Compared with that time, the bloody smell now can be said to be insignificant.

But some wise elders are deeply frowning at this moment, worried in their hearts.

The son of Su Tufeng, the northern king of the old town, they all heard about Su Yuan's rebellion.

Then, there are only two choices before Su Yuan, one is to stick to the northern border and become an existence similar to a separatist regime.

The second is to march southward, spread out the army and horses, and compete with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

No matter which choice Su Yuan makes, Mozhou will inevitably meet with his swordsmen.

When……

"Hey! Smart man, I'm afraid I'm planning to move these few days..." An old man sitting on a horse in front of his house sighed.

Back to the source of the bloody smell.

At the foot of the gourd mountain, only the head of the Yunshan sect, Liu Yunfeng, was left standing.

The other disciples and elders have all fallen down.

Even Liu Yunfeng was seriously injured at this moment and was about to die.

He leaned on the sword on the ground, supported his body, looked around, feeling desolate in his heart.

He couldn't help raising his head to the sky and shouting loudly: "Yunshan School's century-old foundation has been destroyed by my hands!"

Liu Yunfeng knew very well that those disciples who fled would never rebuild the Yunshan School.

Even, they probably didn't dare to say that they were disciples of Yunshan School, because they were afraid of Su Yuan's relentless pursuit.

Perhaps the hope is only on Zhu Xu and Wang Qing...

Liu Yunfeng felt sad. Seeing the new wave of Zhenbei Army surrounding him again, he no longer had enough internal strength to kill the enemy again.

"You bastard! Don't even try to take my life!"

After saying that, Liu Yunfeng put his long sword across his neck and wiped it with his backhand.

puff……

The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army stopped attacking.

The crowd parted, Shen Lian came from behind, looked at Liu Yunfeng who had committed suicide, nodded and said, "Most of the tasks assigned by your lord have been completed."

He ordered: "Next, search the mountain to make sure that there are no Yunshan sect disciples who are hidden in the mountain."

Without saying a word, the soldiers went up the mountain one after another to search.

……

Su Yuan did not stay in the northern camp, but returned to Beifeng City.

However, even though he came back, he summoned many soldiers to stay in the camp to stabilize the frontier defenses and prevent Bei Rong from launching a surprise attack.

After returning, he didn't care about rest, so he made a series of arrangements.

First of all, people from the five major families, as well as some generals headed by Gongsun Kuo, were all handed over to Jin Yiwei for interrogation.

Su Yuan was not afraid that they would not be able to pry their mouths open. This group of bullying guys who were used to being pampered couldn't stand Jin Yiwei's methods at all.

Secondly, he also has new arrangements for the tens of thousands of soldiers who surrendered.

He does not plan to let these soldiers continue to serve in the army.

Su Yuan thought about it himself, these real soldiers had too many disadvantages compared with his "summoned soldiers".

Real soldiers need to eat and drink, need military pay, and mobilize before each battle to boost morale.

This is not over, there must be spies in the army, and monitoring soldiers must be set up to search for and arrest spies at any time.

After the actual war, real soldiers may still refuse to obey military orders, and even the "battle roar" that collapses without a fight may happen.

After thinking about it, Su Yuan felt that it would be better to leave it to the summoned soldiers to fight the war.

As for those who surrendered to him...

Let them all be disarmed and returned to the fields, which will also increase the population and food reserves.

In ancient times, not many people were really willing to join the army.

The ancient army was a high-risk industry, and most soldiers were recruited by force.

There are also volunteers, but most of them are desperate and have no money to eat.

Only a very small number of individuals will join the army for the sake of their family and country.

There are also a very small number of people who want to make meritorious deeds and want to rely on military merits to turn themselves over and become masters.

Su Yuan didn't want to completely ignore these people.

His current thinking is to adopt a voluntary system for real soldiers.

Those who are willing to disarm and return to the fields, he will give a sum of money to settle down and start a business. It just so happens that the homes of the five major families have been confiscated, and the money is enough.

Those who are unwilling to disarm and return to the fields can continue to stay in the army, and Su Yuan will set up another army to put these people in.

But in any case, summoned soldiers and real soldiers definitely cannot form a mixed army, as fighting in that way will definitely be very chaotic, asking for trouble.

At night, Shen Lian led the army back to Beifeng City.

He entered Zhenbei Palace alone and reported to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan still hasn't slept yet, Shen Lian was waiting for him, and when he entered the study, he asked bluntly, "Was the Yunshan faction destroyed?"

"Return to your lord, it was wiped out." Shen Lian said, "Not a single one was left alive."

"Well. It's hard to deal with innate masters."

"Yes, my lord. Innate masters have internal strength to protect their bodies. Before their internal strength is exhausted, it is difficult for ordinary weapons to cause harm to them."

Su Yuan nodded.

He also heard from Chu Changning about this.

The reason why it is said in Jianghu that only those who are superior innate are considered masters, because the innate masters can use internal strength to protect the body.With this layer of body protection, it is very difficult for acquired masters to break through, even the defense cannot be broken, so naturally there is no need to talk about victory.

Unless there is a stronger inner strength to break through its bodyguard, or some rare magical weapons in hand, it will hardly be able to harm it before its inner strength is exhausted.

"Have the Mozhou soldiers gone?"

"Return to my lord, no." Shen Lian continued to report, "My lord, after the Yunshan faction was wiped out, the army searched the mountain and found some weapons, pills, and martial arts cheats. The subordinates have all brought them back and released them. In the warehouse."

"Oh? That's not bad."

Although Su Yuan felt that these things were useless, it was better than nothing.

Pills and the like can still be used, as for cheat books and the like...

"Master, can we take a look at those martial arts cheats?" Mei Jian asked beside him.

Su Yuan looked at Si Jian, and the faces of the four women were all curious.They all learn martial arts, and they will definitely be interested in martial arts cheats.

"can."

Su Yuan happened to be not sleepy, so he went to the warehouse with a few people and looked through the cheat books that Shen Lian had brought back from the Yunshan School.

There are fists, swordsmanship, and knife skills, Su Yuan can't understand them.

There was only one thin booklet. Lan Jian picked it up and looked at it for a while, then said to Su Yuan: "Master, this is the secret book of internal skills of the sect. You don't need to have a foundation, you can also learn it."

"Cheats of inner strength?"
