I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 292 Remembering the past! Murder, ransack homes and divide the spoils! (Changed the chapter name)

The battle between real people in the Yuanshen Realm is indeed somewhat exciting.

It's just that this wonderful scene is a little more cruel and bloody for no reason, on the premise that both sides are fighting to the death.

The various spiritual powers brought about by the attributes of their respective skills are unleashed wantonly.

Sometimes it turns into a terrifying sword, crisscrossing the sky.

Sometimes it turns into a sword like a waterfall, cutting into pieces the boundless floating clouds.

Someone was holding a golden divine spear and galloping back and forth in the void. The void trembled as he waved the divine spear in his hand.

It's like the gods from ancient legends have returned to the world, invincible.

There are also people who have evolved into the form of Yuanshen.

Or ignite a bright fire in the sky and burn everything.

Or the boundless water vapor can gather and set off huge waves by raising your hands and feet.

Or it may be that something is created out of nothing, and the trees are gathered together to form a forest. It seems to be full of life when you raise your hand, but in fact it is full of murderous intent.

Lu Yan raised his head and raised his eyes, and suddenly asked Zhong Xinggu beside him.

"Do you still remember that Karasuma Datanghu who commanded thousands of horses on the grassland?"

On the battlefield, there was a terrifying sight of the nine-headed demon bird transformed from its soul.

Han, who had just arrived, could not forget it.

The wolf running behind Han and Lu Yan and others who just wanted to survive will also never forget it.

The demonic birds chirped, overwhelming the sky and the earth.

In comparison, their hundreds of defeated troops were like ants.

If the Marquis hadn't used his 'secret method' later, he would have killed the opponent with an arrow in the air.

Not to mention the many feats and miracles they achieved later, such as sweeping across the grassland, they would probably have died long ago without a burial place.

Hearing Lu Yan's sudden question, Zhong Xinggu's expression was quite unnatural.

He seldom cared to dwell on the past.

Because the past was too unbearable and painful.

And the memory of the grassland is even more so.

It was also a stain that he had been trying to wash away since returning to the south, but could not.

It's just that the more you want to forget or escape some things, the clearer and deeper they become.

Just like the battle Lu Yan just mentioned.

How could he not remember?

His cultivation had not yet recovered, so he hid among the hundreds of remnants and acted as a transparent person.

Every moment, I felt like I was going to die.

But every time he survived.

Those who died were the cold-faced soldiers who scolded him as a shameless scum whenever they had the chance.

Those who died were those weak, pitiful, weak women.

To this day, he still remembers his shock and shame when those seemingly weak women scratched his slender neck with their weapons.

Compared with that kind of fierceness and determination, those years when I was groveling on the grassland were like a rat in the gutter.

Dirty, unbearable, humble, cowardly...

At the same time, after that battle, Zhong Xinggu clearly felt that the Marquis had also changed.

He used to hesitate and consider ordinary tribesmen when facing those grassland barbarians.

After that battle, head north!
During this process, he could no longer see any kindness and tolerance in his eyes.

Some just treat everyone equally with indifference.

Just like what the Marquis said when he chose to march north, 'The enemy can go, so can I'.

And this sentence can also be understood as 'If Kou can do it, I can do it too'!
Thoughts passed through his mind suddenly, and Zhong Xinggu sighed.

"Remember, how can I not remember?"

After receiving a solid response from Bank of China, Lu Yan asked again.

"You think...who is better between these people and Karasuma who was on the battlefield in the past?"

Hearing this, Zhong Xinggu also looked at the battle of souls in the void. He was silent for a moment, and then said.

"In terms of cultivation alone, the rebelliousness of Chen Shu and the Yuyang Zheng family should not be weaker than that of Wu Wan."

BOC Gu's words are actually somewhat conservative.

The roots of Wuwan Dadanghu originated from the holy mountain in the grassland.

The power of the technique is extraordinary, that’s for sure.

It's just that there are many priests on the holy mountain, and the resources on the grassland are even more barren.

So when it comes to the support of cultivation materials, how can it be compared to these powerful families in Youzhou?
Not to mention Chen Shu and Na Zheng Ke, the two sides fighting in the void at this time, the strength displayed by many people, even if they are not as powerful as Karasuma at the beginning, there is only a thin line between them.

Hearing Zhong Xinggu's words, Lu Yan did not refute, but there was a nasal sound of unknown meaning coming from under the black visor.

"If these people had appeared on the battlefield, wouldn't it mean that we wouldn't have had to die so many people in the battle last year?"

"We're going to win, right?"

After hearing this, BOC Gu fell silent again.

He knew that the battle last year was a thorn in the hearts of all the Liao Army troops.

Because it was too tragic and too unwilling.

So every time I think about it, I feel sad and sleepless at night.

This is true even for generals like Lu Yan who have gradually separated from the Liao Army system.

But just when Zhong Xinggu was about to say a few words of comfort, Lu Yan continued to talk quietly.

"No, maybe they don't need to play. As long as they don't cause chaos to our Suppressing Liao Army, we can win..."

If it weren't for those bastards in Beiguzong and Dingyang counties, they would tip off the barbarian dogs and pass on the news.

How could it be possible that the two armies of the Liao-Suppressing Army who were divided into two armies were all ambushed!

Bank of China nodded silently.

It can be regarded as approval of Lu Yan's words.

If there hadn't been those mischievous people, with the combat power of the Liao Army, not only victory would have been guaranteed, but at least there would have been an outcome of fighting and retreating, invincible and undefeated.

Lu Yan seemed to smile after receiving Zhong Xinggu's approval.

"Look, it doesn't actually matter whether there are these aristocratic families or high-ranking sects."

"Without them...that's all that matters."

Listening to Lu Yan's words with a hint of a smile, Zhong Xing Gu inexplicably raised his eyes and looked back.

"so what?"

so?
Lu Yan really laughed this time, but the laughter was very short.

After he stopped speaking, Lu Yan looked back faintly, his eyes falling on Zhong Xinggu's face.

"So... they all deserve to die!"

"Without them lying around in Youzhou sucking the people's wealth, flesh and blood, the people would be able to live a little easier."

"We, the soldiers in the army, can also be focused on nothing and risk our lives to shoulder the responsibilities and missions that God has given us!"

After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration.

After following Han Shao for so long, Lu Yan not only made rapid progress in his cultivation.

The same goes for vision and knowledge.

Just like what he said now, a soldier in the army in the past would not be able to say it or see through it.

'Perhaps everyone underestimates this 'armored general'...'

Just as Bank of China was feeling emotional, Lu Yan suddenly changed the subject.

"I have heard that... the Admiral of the Bank of China had an unpleasant experience when he was studying at Jixia Academy."

After saying that, looking at Zhong Xinggu's face that instantly darkened, Lu Yan smiled and shook his head and did not continue the topic.

It just seemed casual.

"Everything will stand in advance, and nothing will be abandoned if you don't."

"Admiral BOC can make some preparations in advance for some things, so as not to feel a little less happy when his long-cherished wish comes true."

"That would be a pity..."

Facing the half-smiling eyes under the black visor, Zhong Xinggu remained silent.

He understood the meaning of Lu Yan's words.

This is to suggest that he extend the tentacles of the six gates to those high gates of the world to prepare for the future.

But he didn't know whether this was Lu Yan's own intention, or whether the Marquis was using Lu Yan's words to hint to him.

The thoughts in his mind turned around, and after a while, Zhong Xinggu suddenly smiled.

"In this case, Bank of China would like to thank General Lu Shen for his guidance."

Lu Yan shook his head and smiled.

"They are all sharing the worries of the Marquis, and I should both encourage you."

After saying that, Lu Yan finally looked back to the void above his head.

"Okay, let's clean up our hands. It's time for us to go back to meet the Marquis."

At this time, the battle between the souls in the void above was finally coming to an end.

A real person in the Yuanshen realm, who usually looks like a living god, is bleeding in the void. At this moment, they were like fighting beasts trapped in an ancient colosseum, biting and fighting each other.

One party tried his best to survive.

But the other side just wants them to die!

This process is naturally cruel and bloody.

One after another, mutilated corpses fell to the ground with blood spilling into the void.

Then he was imprisoned and hung in the void by the invisible power of the law from the six realms of power.

During this period, no one thought about asking for surrender, but the result was that they were completely desperate.

Because the other side doesn’t allow it!

The Chen family in Zhuo County need to take their heads as a certificate of "joining the gang".

As for the guards of the Hou Mansion below who seemed to be under siege but were actually supervising the battle, although their heads were not needed for military merit, their Yuan Shen realm cultivation was even more tempting than their military merit.

So they are destined not to survive today.

……

Champion House.

"Master Hou! All the traitors in the city have been killed!"

When Lu Yan and others came to report, Han Shao was accompanying Yu Xuanji to enjoy flowers in the garden.

I have to say that the original Dingbei County Magistrate put a lot of thought into this.

To be able to collect these exotic flowers and plants that can bloom in the severe cold in this bitterly cold northern land is quite a feat.

However, spending all your thoughts on such useless things is enough to show that this animal did not die unjustly last year.

Smiling apologetically at Yu Xuanji beside him, Han Shao waved his hand to signal them to get up.

"This is the head of Zheng Ke, the leader of the traitor family, Yuyang Zheng. I would like to ask the Marquis to take a look at it!"

After Zhong Xinggu finished speaking, Chen Shu, who was covered in scars and with wet blood, quickly held a head in his hands and bowed forward.

Han Shao lowered his eyes.

As soon as you can see it, you can see the head placed on the wooden lacquer plate, with a ferocious expression and angry eyes.

The appearance of death shows the person's unwillingness and anger.

It's just that there is no trace of the complacency and arrogance that he had before.

Brushing aside his face covered by hair, Han Shao took a casual glance, waved his hand and smiled.

"Put it away, don't let this pickled stuff disturb my beauty."

Facing Han Shao's words, Yu Xuanji rolled her eyes at him.

The beauty is angry and beautiful.

But it seems that only when she is with Han Shao, this ice beauty will truly come alive.

On weekdays, even the maid who had been serving her closely had never seen any unnecessary expression on that stunning face.

When Chen Shu heard what Han Shao said, he naturally did not dare to neglect it and quickly put it into his personal storage bag.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work."

Facing Han Shao's praise, Chen Shu, who was still a little anxious at first, became energetic and his face flushed.

"A little hard work does not deserve the praise of the Marquis!"

Han Shao laughed.

"He's a talker."

After finishing speaking, he continued.

"But if you have merit, you have merit, and if you have merit, you should be rewarded."

When Chen Shu heard this, he looked frightened and did not even dare to speak.

Han Shao shook his head.

"I never treat those who have meritorious service unkindly."

The way to govern is to make rewards and punishments clear.

This is an eternal truth.

I want people to be willing to sacrifice their lives for you.

If you keep relying on strength and force, you won't be able to accomplish anything.

A slap in the face and a sweet date are the right principles.

"Let's do this. I will keep the property confiscated by Yuyang Zheng's gang."

"You can divide the remaining shops among yourselves."

If you don't become a householder, you don't know how valuable money and rice are.

If you don't raise an army, you don't know what it means to burn money.

Soldiers' armor, food and equipment, soldiers' pay...

Each one is a bottomless pit.

In addition, there are the previous batch of three thousand Pogang Crossbows and the city defense formation that the Mo family is building recently.

Once these two expensive things were done, even though Han Shao had harvested a mountain of gold and silver in the grassland last year, he was still a little stretched.

Even in a sense, if the mad dog doesn't go south at the end of this year, it will last another year.

Nowadays, the seemingly prosperous Champion City is about to run into problems.

Because Han Shao had no money.

This is also a common fault of rulers who have always resorted to militarism.

Military first politics, everything first military!
Everything else must give way to this premise!

But fortunately, Karasumabe on the opposite side also played the same trick.

He even played harder, more aggressively, and more extreme than someone like him, Han!
If this battle is not fought this year, the other side will also collapse.

Once the war machine is started, it cannot be stopped unless one party kneels down and surrenders, offering everything they have to make up for the other party's shortcomings.

Therefore, this battle this year should not only be fought from the beginning to the end, but must be fought.

The same is true for someone else.

But Han Shao would not tell anyone these words.

After all, he still needs to use the righteous name of "defending the territory and defending the territory" to rally the morale of the military and the people, so as to win the ultimate victory in this zero-sum game.

Turn the entire Karasuma Department into the nourishment and information for your own growth.

"Do you have any objection to my arrangement?"

Opinion?

How dare Chen Shu have any opinions?
Let alone an opinion, he even felt like a pie-in-the-sky surprise at this moment.

For high-ranking families like them, the property confiscated by the Hou Mansion was just floating wealth.

On the contrary, it is the shops left by the Zheng family in Yuyang and the grassland trade roads corresponding to these shops that are the real hens that can lay eggs.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the generous reward!"

Chen Shu thanked him excitedly.

But then he felt a little uneasy again.

Because he felt that these people took too much, so much that it even made him feel a little hot.

So after hesitating for a moment, Chen Shu suddenly said seriously.

"It's just... According to Chen, this reward from the Marquis is too generous!"

"After all, if I really want to talk about it, the killing of the Yuyang Zheng family and the gang of traitors seems to have been done by the Marquis for the sake of the safety of Champion City and for the entire Youzhou to avoid being poisoned!"

“But actually it’s for me and other high-ranking members of the Youzhou family!”

"If it weren't for the Marquis, how would we have the chance to remove these black sheep from the high gates of our Youzhou family?"

"So it's not me who helps the Marquis to kill the traitors! It's the Marquis who helps us clean up the family!"

"Therefore... Yu Gong! Master Hou is the number one Gong!"

"Yu En! Lord Marquis has been very kind to us and other high-ranking members of the Youzhou family!"

"The Marquis has such merit and kindness, how can we shamelessly accept such a generous reward from the Marquis?"

Seeing Chen Shu bowing and bowing, he looked solemn and solemn.

Lu Yan and Zhong Xinggu on the side were naturally dumbfounded and stunned.

If you flatter me like this, isn't it going to heaven?
Han Shao just looked at this guy's performance with a smile, and then asked.

"What does Chief Chen mean?"

Chen Shu stood up suddenly and said seriously.

"What Chen means is...the reward given to us by the Marquis is a kindness from the Marquis."

"But those of us who have received the kindness of the Marquis must not be too arrogant, lest the news gets out and people laugh at us!"

"So Chen kindly asks the Marquis to slightly change the way of this reward, and just give us high-ranking families a chance to redeem these shops..."

redemption?

Chen Shu is really the first person who can use a pole to give money to someone Han, and do it in such a refreshing and upright manner.

When Han Shao heard this, he looked at him with interest for a while, and then laughed.

"Chen Jun is indeed a wonderful person!"
