Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In Yuguan County, Tianyu City, on the city walls, the giant cannons that were originally displayed were being moved to the rear. People came and went with sad and uneasy faces.

In the city, warships filed out one after another, crossed the city walls, and stopped outside the city. Everyone got out of the deck of the warship, and groups gathered in front of the warship.

In the city, the green flag on the huge flagpole that stood tall and tall had changed its appearance. Suddenly, dark clouds surged up and covered the entire sky. After a while, raindrops began to fall, and the rain gradually became heavier.

Everyone stood outside the city, letting the heavy rain wash over them, and the atmosphere was heavy and solemn.

I don’t know how long it took, but in the distance, several black spots appeared in my field of vision. The black spots grew larger and larger in my field of vision. They were moving warships.

The warship arrived in front of the city wall, and a beam of light shot down from it. It came to the crowd standing outside the city and saluted the man with slightly white temples at the head: "Senior Huang, Master Su invites you to come to the headquarters. A story about warships."

The two of them jumped out of the light and arrived on the deck of the Lezi ship, surrounded by stars and the moon.

There was already a group of people waiting there, and the white-faced, beardless middle-aged man at the head was looking at him with a smile.

The man surnamed Huang felt bitter in his heart, walked quickly to him, bowed and said: "The defeated general Huang Xiecheng pays homage to fellow Taoist Su."

"Hey!" The man surnamed Su waited until he bowed down before holding him up with his hands: "Young Daoist Huang, you don't have to be polite. Your sect was able to rein in the danger in time, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, restore peace to Tianyu City, and save your two disciples and me from the fire and war. It can be said that there is no greater good.”

"There are more than 20,000 monks in our headquarters, plus all our warships and cannons. They are all waiting outside the city, at your disposal."

"Twenty thousand, I heard that your department guarding Tianyu City has nearly five columns of troops. It can't be less than 40,000! Why are there only 20,000, where are the rest?" A big-eared man behind the man named Su asked in a deep voice. road.

"This is fellow Daoist Zhang Chi, the deputy captain of our headquarters." The man surnamed Su explained.

The man surnamed Huang said: "These monks standing outside the city now are all disciples who are willing to end the war and intend to surrender to your side. The rest who are unwilling to surrender have already evacuated the city on the eve."

Zhang Xie frowned and said: "Fellow Daoist Huang just let them go. Do you know that those rebellious die-hards will immediately regroup to fight against the alliance forces once they leave Tianyu City, yet Daoist Huang let them go like this? I I want to ask, are the monks who have surrendered to you sincerely?"

The man surnamed Huang said solemnly: "Since Huang and these monks who are willing to stay have chosen to surrender, they are naturally ready to stretch their necks and be killed. If you want to kill or behead me, we will do whatever you want. Your honorable minister If he wants to be charged with the crime of insufficient surrender, Huang will have to defend himself."

"If there are only a few people fleeing, or one or two hundred monks, Huang can capture them. But half of the monks in the city refuse to surrender. In this case, who has the ability to stop them."

At this time, another man said: "We all believe in the surrender of Huang Daoyou and your department. Since you have abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, we are very welcome. From now on, everyone will be brothers in the same boat. We will destroy the rebels and fight the war." It’s not over yet, we still need the lives of our Taoist friends and your monks to annihilate the rebels. I’m sure your Taoist friends won’t refuse this section!”

"I and all the monks in this department will obey your orders."

"Okay." The man surnamed Su clapped his hands: "With the words of Fellow Daoist Huang, we can enter the city with peace of mind. Fellow Daoist Yuan, Fellow Daoist Zhang, and Fellow Daoist Tang, could you please lead the direct column to greet Dao Fellow Huang on behalf of the headquarters? Recruiting staff and arranging them properly.”

"Yes." The three people behind him responded.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, let's enter the city together!" The man surnamed Su waved his hand forward, stopped the warship in mid-air, set off again, and filed into the city.

………

Inside the room, Tang Ning was practicing self-cultivation with his eyes closed. When he heard a knock on the door, he stood up and opened the room, only to see a white-faced man standing outside.

"Senior Tang, Senior Xiao please come to the meeting hall to meet me."

Tang Ning arrived at the meeting hall. There were already several people sitting inside. They were all familiar faces. They were all injured cultivators from various regiments, including Huang Hanjiang.

He nodded with a few people and then sat down next to Huang Hanjiang.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, what happened? Why are we summoned here suddenly?"

"Who knows, they may have to arrange for us to go to the front line. Didn't you see that here are all the managers of the various regiments who have recovered from their injuries? Those who have not recovered from their injuries are not yet here. Senior Xiao called me, can you still What is it? It can’t be about giving out rewards!”

"Is the situation on the frontline unfavorable? Do we need to replenish manpower again?"

"Didn't Fellow Daoist Tang hear about it?"

"What did you hear?"

"The coalition forces have conquered and completely occupied Yuguan and Shigang counties."

"So fast? This is impossible!" Tang Ning was shocked. A month ago, he heard that the coalition forces were divided into two groups. One group set off from Yuanxian County to attack Tianyu City in Yuguan County, and the other group attacked Tianyu City in Yuguan County. Set off from Yunlan County to capture Jade City in Shigang County.

Unexpectedly, in just one month, they had completely captured 24 cities in Yuguan and Shigang counties.

In just one month, even if the army marches day and night, it may not be able to complete the two counties of Yuguan and Shigang. How could it be possible to conquer it!

Huang Hanjiang said: "I have also heard that the Jingyue Sect, Xuanyuan Sect, and Qianchen Sect have all changed their flags and publicly declared to surrender to the Qingzhou Alliance Army and cut off from the rebels. Therefore, the coalition forces attacked Yuguan and Shigang. In the county, many of the city’s guarding monks surrendered without a fight.”

"Some stubborn rebels who were unwilling to surrender fled in a hurry. The coalition forces took over the two counties without a single blow. In many places, they had already surrendered before the coalition forces arrived, only waiting for the coalition forces to come and take over. ”

"Is this happening?" Tangning was dumbfounded. She never expected that the Xuanmen in Donglai County would change overnight and all of them would surrender.

"I was dubious at first, but in the past few days, it has been spread throughout the entire column. The news they got can't be false! In fact, if you think about it carefully, although it is unexpected, it is also reasonable. The rebels are now seeing The forces are getting weaker and weaker. On the front battlefield in Qingzhou, Jinan County has been fully recovered. The rebels are retreating steadily. If Xuanmen of Donglai County does not surrender at this time, will it really be buried with the rebels? "

"I just didn't expect that the Mirror Moon Sect would surrender so quickly. They led Donglai County Xuanmen to stab us in the back. It can be said that they are the main culprits for the current situation in Donglai County. They would be the first to surrender. "

"This is called stealing chicken but losing rice. During that time, the coalition forces were frequently defeated in the Qingzhou battlefield. Rebels were rising in Jinan County and Linzi County. Seeing this, they couldn't sit still and wanted to be completely independent and take charge of Donglai. Junxuanmen. Now that the rebels are weak, they surrender quickly. This kind of wallflower is the most hateful. "

While the two were talking, several more people came in, and everyone discussed the current situation.

About half an hour later, a thin, middle-aged man came in from outside. He was Xiao Qian, the deputy captain of the 10th column.

Everyone stood up and bowed their heads. Xiao Qian walked to the main seat and sat down. He waved his hand and motioned for everyone to take their seats: "Today we are gathering you all for an important matter. The legion has issued an order requesting the headquarters to send two hundred Nascent Soul monks and fifty Hua. Divine cultivators, five Void Refining cultivators went to Yuguan County to take up posts. You and I have been recovering here for several years. Now that your injuries have healed, we have decided to send you all to Yuguan County to take up posts."

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman asked: "Dare I ask, senior, are we going to return to our original posts?"

"No, you, like everyone sent by our column, have new positions." Xiao Qian said: "Perhaps some people have heard that the Jingyue Sect, Xuanyuan Sect, Qianchen Sect and others in this county The large and small Xuanmen sects changed their flags and surrendered to the Qingzhou Alliance Army. "

"So far, nearly 100,000 monks from the rebel army have surrendered unconditionally and are being adapted by this department."

"These people originally served the rebels. Now that they have surrendered to the coalition, it is naturally impossible for them to remain on the fence and watch the fight between tigers and tigers."

"The coalition forces have decided to lead them to attack the remaining rebel die-hards until they completely regain Donglai County."

"Because there are too many rebels who have surrendered, even if they are broken up and mixed into the coalition forces to supplement the depleted personnel of the coalition forces, there will still be a large part outside the independent establishment."

"Therefore, the coalition decided to establish a new corps, based on the surrendered rebels, to establish the third corps of Qingzhou coalition Donglai County."

"The composition of the rebels who surrendered is complex. Some did not surrender sincerely, but were forced by the situation, and some were ordered by their sects. In order to prevent the rebels from defecting again at a critical moment, or mutiny, etc., coalition monks are needed to sit in , placing our own people at all levels of the new legion to direct and control the general direction of the entire legion.”

"The coalition forces will transfer some personnel from various ministries to the Third Army to hold important positions at all levels. Since the frontline troops have suffered many casualties over the years, and the personnel are not sufficient, more personnel will be transferred from the troops at the rear. ”

"You monks who have recovered from your injuries are also within the scope of recruitment. In five days, you will go to the Third Army with the staff of this headquarters. Your appointments will be issued by then."

Everyone looked at each other, not expecting to return to the front line in this form. After a while, a man asked: "Senior Xiao, after I am transferred to the Third Army, will my duties be the same as before?"

"This will be arranged at that time. The legion will make adjustments based on the situation. One thing can be guaranteed, your new job level will never be lower than your original job level."

"If a junior goes to the Third Army to serve as the captain of a certain regiment, what will happen to the former captain of the regiment?"

"All surrendered monks from the rebels have been downgraded by one level. The coalition has transferred the captains of each team to other legions and disrupted each team. This will make it easier for the newly appointed coalition monks to take charge of the original rebel team."

"When we serve in the Third Army, are the salaries and rewards we receive all in compliance with the regulations of the coalition?"

"Of course, the Third Army is a team under the Qingzhou Alliance Army, and it naturally follows the rules of the Qingzhou Alliance Army."

"After the establishment of the Third Army, what is the next task?"

"I am not aware of this matter. The coalition forces will issue instructions when the time comes."

Everyone raised many questions one after another, and Xiao Qian answered them one by one. The discussion lasted for more than an hour and finally ended.
