I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 279 Recognize your ancestors and return to your clan! Mohist sage! Large array!

"Master Hou..."

As soon as he walked down from the top of the city, Han Shao saw Zhong Xinggu, who was hunched over like an old dog, waiting respectfully aside.

Han Shao glanced at him, said nothing, and walked directly past him towards the city.

The soldiers and civilians in the city defense camp behind him who had not yet recovered from their excitement spontaneously bowed and saluted.

"Farewell to the Marquis!"

The loud shouts that shook the world, carrying the fanatical emotions of everyone, made Han Shao pause slightly.

Li Jing, who was a few steps behind Han Shao, also said with emotion.

"The people's morale can be used, and the military's morale can also be used. We will win this battle!"

When Han Shao heard this, he felt a little unconvinced.

Gathering people's hearts is just to ensure that there is no internal chaos.

It has an impact on the final success or failure, but it is not the decisive factor after all.

He understands this truth, and Li Jing naturally understands it too.

The reason why I say this is just to comfort myself.

Han Shao did not refute, and nodded slightly, indicating that he recognized his words.

But when his eyes touched the somewhat disappointed and lonely figure in the crowd, Han Shao smiled.

Then he said to Jiang Hu, who was standing on the other side behind him.

"uncle."

Jiang Hu hurriedly responded, "The general will be here."

He couldn't stop Han Shao from calling him "uncle", but he never regarded himself as 'uncle'.

It's just that his almost humble duty not only did not earn Li Jing and others' contempt, but actually made them respect him more.

Han Shao was too lazy to care about Jiang Hu's title now. When Jiang Hu responded, he thought about it and said.

"Go back and ask Han San what his name is and who his ancestors are, and then look up the family tree."

"If it's too far away, forget it. If it's close, we can let him recognize his ancestor and return to his clan."

Before you completely break all the old rules, you still have to have some pretense.

If setting up a facade of the champion Han family can make the world's great families less hostile and wary of themselves, why not?
Jiang Hu naturally didn't know what Han Shao was planning.

After hearing this, a flash of surprise inevitably flashed in his eyes.

Because based on his understanding of Han Shao, Han Shao was obviously not a kind and generous person.

This can be seen from Han Shao's treatment of his neighbors in Zhenliaocheng after he became powerful.

It's just that now he is used to obeying Han Shao's orders, so he didn't raise any questions and just nodded.

"Here! I will obey your orders!"

After saying that, Jiang Hu hesitated and asked tentatively.

"Do you want to take care of him?"

Han Shao shook his head, "No need."

Even if he is mean and ungrateful, he never likes others to take advantage of him for no reason.

It was already the other party's opportunity to give Han Sanlang a chance to change his destiny.

No matter how much he wants, it still depends on his own ability.

So after rejecting Jiang Hu's words, he insisted on Zhongxing.

"You can ask him later if he wants to go to your six doors."

"If you are willing, I can be a clerk at your place first."

When Han Shao was talking to Han Sanlang just now, Bank of China was not there, but this did not prevent Bank of China from knowing what the situation of the other party was.

At this time, after hearing Han Shao's instructions, Zhong Xinggu hurriedly smiled shyly.

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I'll keep it with you."

Han Shao nodded with satisfaction.

Then he led everyone and continued walking down the city.

Sometimes, being timid and timid is not actually a shortcoming.

Because it also means that such a person knows reverence.

What's more, Han Sanlang himself is not only stupid, but also very smart.

It is just right for such a person to be placed in the six doors.

……

After coming down from the city wall, Han Shao and his party did not leave the city wall.

Instead, he walked around in circles, heading towards a secret place.

Along the way, BOC followed Han Shao step by step, lowering his head and looking down.

If you don't know, you may just think that he is an ordinary old servant.

But such a seemingly servile existence not only possesses the terrifying cultivation level of the six realms of power.

The ruthless and despicable methods of the six sects led by their admirals have made countless people tremble with fear, fearing that they would be targeted by these living hell gods.

Zhao Mu and Qi Shuo, who were walking with him, glanced at Zhong Xinggu and felt disdain in their hearts.

I think back then, if the Marquis hadn't felt "compassionate", he would have spared the life of this old dog who had forgotten his ancestors.

This old dog had its head chopped off by them long ago.

Where would the scenery be like today?

There is no doubt that they don't like this guy, let alone dealing with the six doors under his command.

It's just that they also know that the Marquis really needs such a person, and he also needs Six Doors.

So I've always been out of sight, out of mind, too lazy to talk to each other.

Even those who are traveling together now subconsciously stay away from each other, as if they are afraid of getting into any bad luck.

In this regard, Bank of China does not care.

The ways are different and they do not seek each other.

It's a good thing that these generals in the army don't want to talk to him.

Lest one day these arrogant fools do something wrong, and they will feel unbearable if they do it themselves.

'That's good...'

Zhong Xinggu lowered his eyebrows and raised his lips into a slight smile.

Han Shao was well aware of the thoughts of his subordinates, but he didn't pay too much attention to them.

Some people and things are better if they are more clearly distinguished.

A bunch of harmony is not a good thing for everyone.

As the thoughts in their minds turned, the group's vision dimmed, and then suddenly became clear.

"I've met the champion."

Looking at the people coming forward, Han Shao nodded and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, all sages."

I have to say that the clothes of the few people in front of me are a bit too simple. They wear brown fur coats and squat down.

Not even as good as some ordinary people in this city today.

But whether it was Han Shao or Zhong Xinggu, Li Jing and others behind him, not only did they not have the slightest contempt in their eyes, but they showed some respect.

Because they are the few Mohist sages in the world who still adhere to ancient rituals.

Of course, the most important thing is that they are proficient in formations.

It will be of great use in the coming war!
And Han has always respected talents!

But when they heard Han Shao's words, even though these people had always despised the worldly princes, they couldn't help but feel a little warm in their hearts.

"The champion is so polite. It's not hard work."

"That's right! The champion has been working hard every day to resist the barbarians from going south. It's not hard work. We are just doing some tricks behind the scenes. How can we call it hard work?"

Check it out!

Who said that these Mohist sages are old-fashioned and stubborn?
Isn’t this very talkative?
Han Shao laughed in his heart and said a few words of warmth and concern.

Then he looked at the secret room located in a secret place under the city wall.

Looking around, Han Shao was dazzled by the dense and complicated lines.

But who told him, Han, to get used to cheating?

Others don't understand this, but he does.

Not only did he understand, he even pointed out some fallacies in these formation runes, as well as some ideas for improvement.

Regarding Han Shao's doubts and denials about their professionalism, although several Mohist sages were hesitant, they were not angry after all.

On the one hand, there is the unique rigor of these technical talents.

On the other hand, they knew that Han Shao did understand formations.

Because Han had attracted them here with a fantastic formation drawing.

Otherwise, even if Gongsun Zhi tells the truth, it is impossible for these dead members of the Mo family to be willing to go out and travel thousands of miles to this bitter cold place to help build the formation. Yes!

These people were personally invited by Gongsun Zhi, the Seven Realm True Immortal!

As early as when Han Shao saw the small formation with Gongsun Xinyi in the Zhenbei Tower, Han Shao had his thoughts turned to it.

Later, he shamelessly caught Gongsun Zhi and questioned him, and then he found out the origin of the formation.

As for how to invite people to Champion City in the future, it naturally took a lot of thought.

But for now, it's all worth it.

As long as the formation is completed, he will at least have some confidence to be invincible.

I saw several Mohist sages talking to each other as if no one else was watching as they just pointed out the areas that needed to be modified.

The next step is either writing or drawing on paper, or frowning and meditating, carefully deliberating and calculating.

Han Shao and the others, who were directly thrown aside, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and bored.

After a while, Han Shao reluctantly said a famous saying from Taizong.

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. How about some sages follow my method and give it a try first?"

After hearing Han Shao's words, several people realized that they had just been too involved and ignored the real owner.

He smiled awkwardly and apologized.

Then he looked at Han Shao and said hesitantly.

"It's okay to give it a try, but...I'm afraid that Mr. Hou will feel distressed..."

Han Shao was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized the concerns of several Mohist sages.

Indeed, if you try it wrong, you will feel distressed!
Not to mention those precious things that are the core.

Just talking about the dense and complicated runes all over the wall, they are all painted and painted with gold and silver!

Once the experiment goes wrong, real gold and silver wealth will be lost!

Thinking of this, even though Han Shao always regarded money as dirt, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

But there is no other way. Now that the words have been spoken, it would be too embarrassing to suddenly change his words at this time.

So he only hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and gritted his teeth.

"Try it! Since I invite you gentlemen to come out, I will fully trust you gentlemen!"

"Not to mention a little gold and silver, even if it is a mountain of gold and silver, as long as you gentlemen want it, as long as I can afford it, I will accept anything!"

Listening to Han Shao's words, "Nothing is allowed," the teasing look in the eyes of several Mohist sages disappeared in an instant.

What replaced it was a burst of indescribable brilliance and enthusiasm!

As the former mortal enemies of Confucianism, they never believed in the nonsense that "a scholar will die for his bosom friend".

But at this moment, facing the young prince in front of them who they should have ignored, they actually felt somewhat similar.

Um! have nothing to say!

In one word!
Boss atmosphere!

And...what did he just call us?
gentlemen?

In an instant, several Mohist sages' eyes turned red, and they bowed to Han Shao with a bit of excitement.

"We are so lucky to win the championship, Hou Xinzhong!"

"Don't worry, Lord Champion! Even if we risk our lives, we will build this Champion City into an indestructible and powerful city for Lord Champion!"

If someone else made such a promise, it might be somewhat false.

But when these words came from the mouth of the Mo family, even a thick-blooded man like Han Shao, who had never trusted others easily, couldn't help but believe it.

Han Shao hurriedly stepped forward and helped several people up in person, and Han Shao spoke in succession.

"No, not really."

"Not to mention a majestic city, even if it has thousands of buildings, how can it be as good as you gentlemen?"

"Gentlemen, please take care of yourself and don't talk about death lightly!"

I have to admit that although some of the words are boring, they do give people the emotional value.

After some conversation, several Mohist sages, who rarely had contact with outsiders, felt warm in their hearts and even wet the corners of their eyes.

In order to avoid affecting their future work for him, Han Shao quickly stopped and changed the topic.

"If everything goes well, how many people will be needed to complete this formation?"

This is also the issue that Han Shao is most concerned about.

It would be meaningless if it couldn't be completed before the mad dog arrived with his army.

Several Mohist sages gathered their emotions and carefully considered the process before responding.

"The main formation on all four sides has been formed, and now we just have to wait for the formation to be combined."

"Including the changes that the champion has just needed, in as little as three days, and in six or seven days at the latest, the formation will be successful!"

Seeing that several people were full of confidence, Han Shao also estimated the time and felt that there should be enough time, so he immediately put down some distractions.

After another conversation, Han Shao took Li Jing and others to ask for advice on what to pay attention to when the formation was in operation, and then prepared to leave.

But at this moment, one of the Mohist sages took out the formation drawing that Han Shao had used to 'seduce' them and said.

"The champion's intelligence is truly gifted."

"Even we are amazed!"

"If you can join my Mohist family, you will definitely become a great sage of the Mohist family in the future!"

Well, the cheating life needs no explanation.

Han Shao didn’t want to explain either.

Just listen quietly to what the other person says.

As the Mohist sage spoke, he returned the drawing to Han Shao with some reluctance and sighed.

"It's just that once this formation is applied in practice, it will be too lethal, so..."

"Please forgive me, Champion, for what I cannot do."

In fact, the drawings that Han Shao asked Gongsun Zhi to bring them were only half of them at first.

Later, when they arrived, the complete drawings were handed over to them.

The reason for being so cautious is mainly because this is what the Mohist sage said.

The most important weapon in the army, the killing force is too heavy!
However, when facing the drawings handed back by the Mohist sage, Han Shao did not reach out to take them, but asked with a faint smile.

"Does this formation conflict with the Mohist philosophy of non-offensive?"

Non-attack, the core idea of ​​Mohism.

Seeing that Han Shao knew so much about their Mo family, several Mo family sages looked at Han Shao in surprise, and then nodded silently.

Han Shao laughed and asked again.

"What is non-attack?"

The Mohist sage who just spoke said without hesitation.

"If you don't kill, it's not offensive."

Han Shao asked again, "What if someone else does it?"

"Just like last year when the barbarians went south and slaughtered all the people in Dingbei and Langju City!"

"Do you know what happened after the war between the two cities?"

As he spoke, Han Shao paused slightly, suppressed the smile on his lips, and said in a deep voice.

"I never knew that the people in a city could be taller than the city wall!"

"And at the top of the mountain of corpses that is higher than the city wall..."

"That child hasn't even grown into a full human form yet..."

I heard Han Shao say such shocking words in the calmest tone.

The faces of several Mohist sages who had always stayed in the mountains and rarely set foot in the world suddenly turned pale for a moment.

At this time, Han Shao's expression was no longer as gentle as before, but instead looked a little indifferent and cold.

"I dare to ask some sages, how would you feel if you saw this scene with your own eyes?"

After the words fell, one of the Mohist sages said with a bit of anger.

"This! This is not human!"

Zhao Mu on the side curled his lips in disdain when he saw this.

scold? Is scolding useful?

Even if you scold him all night long, and if you scold him all night long, can you scold a barbaric dog to death?

Shouldn't we rely on the swords and weapons in the hands of warriors like me?
After just looking at the Marquis in front of him, Zhao Mu did not dare to interrupt.

At this time, Han Shao asked quietly again.

"In this case, in the face of such inhuman actions, what can we say but attack?"

Upon hearing this, several Mohist sages were immediately speechless.

For a moment, I couldn't think of any objection.
