Depressed Fairy

"Liu Yisheng has quite a lot of influence in the city lord's palace. When I actually serve as a soldier in Jincheng in the future, I will still have to make friends. General, he has asked people to bring you the medicine you want."

In the main tent, Zhang Que was reporting to Chen Yuan.

"Have you brought them all? So quickly?" Chen Yuan immediately became energetic when he heard that the medicinal materials had been brought.

These medicinal materials may seem simple, but they can be forged with special methods to extract the spiritual energy, and then use the power of Shinto to draw the flying swords.

Ever since he walked out of Lushou Mountain, Chen Yuan felt that he was missing a flying sword. Now that he had time, of course he wanted to refine it.

"It saved me a lot of time and I got to meet him."

"I have met the general. It is more famous than meeting him." In the spacious tent, Liu Yisheng bowed his hands to Chen Yuan in greeting.

Chen Yuan collected the urgently needed items and could not refuse the person thousands of miles away. He waved his hand and said: "During the war, I saw you on the city wall, so I have seen you."

"..."

Liu Yisheng coughed lightly and said: "The general is quick to speak quickly, so the student will not go around in circles. This time, I have something to ask the general... about military matters."

He originally planned to start with a reward from the capital, but he was worried that Chen Yuan would say something weird again, so he changed the topic and planned to get a head start on the military matters and master the rhythm before continuing.

"Then you have found the wrong person." Chen Yuan shook his head.

Liu Yisheng hurriedly said: "It's not all a matter of military strategists, it also involves the Daning court. I also don't hide it from the general. Nowadays, there is an undercurrent in the northwest. There are many factions in the nine cities. Some of them even have plans to worship Xiyue Xin. God, you must be on guard against the idea of ​​separatism and self-reliance after being established in the divine court!”

"Huh? Do you need to worship gods before separatist rule?" Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and said deliberately: "The separatist rule in the northwest will lead to its own destruction!"

"Why did the general say this?" Liu Yisheng cheered up and planned to conduct a wave of analysis to shock the young man in front of him with his words.

Zhang Que also asked curiously: "General, why can you say so?"

Chen Yuan glanced at Zhang Que and said: "The northwest is full of deserts and mountains with sparse vegetation. Although there are big cities, the population is not large and cannot support an independent force. It will be controlled by others."

He had just read "Practice Insights" not long ago, which described the landforms of the northwest. During the hundreds of years in the Dongxu Realm, he had also seen the rise and fall of the human world. It was easy to say it now.

Liu Yisheng said: "Both Daning and Yanguo are wooing the Northwest Allied Forces. If they can stand on their own, they can have both sides and recommend them to both families."

Chen Yuan pointed at his feet and said: "The northwest is the old land of Daning. Cutting off the land to stand on your own is a rebellion. Daning will regard you as a thorn in its side. You and others are fighting with the deserters every day and have blood feuds with each other. Even if you become a vassal and pay tribute, Sending a daughter to a marriage may not make Huangren let go of his guard. How can we make ends meet in this situation?"

Liu Yisheng frowned.

Chen Yuan added: "A solid alliance must have a common enemy, and being on both sides means that anyone can be the enemy. If they are separated, no one will be relieved, and sooner or later it will break. Daning unites and divides this place!”

"Impossible!" Liu Yisheng said subconsciously, "Yanguo has occupied the north of Daning, how can we reconcile? What's more, Yanguo has been operating in the northwest for many years, openly and secretly, and only occupied Hecheng. If you want to control the northwest, you have to Weigh it!"

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had lost his composure and muttered to himself, this young general who seemed to be unfamiliar with military affairs seemed to have some knowledge!

Chen Yuan didn't take it seriously and said: "If we only look at five or ten years, the situation seems to be calm and solidified, but if we look at it on the scale of twenty or fifty years, it will look completely different. A few decades ago, If someone says that the barren people can take over the land in the north, will anyone believe it?"

He didn't expect to be able to persuade the other party with words, he just hoped to bring up the topic of the divine court and understand the reality of the divine way.

Liu Yisheng was stunned, pondered for a moment, and said: "There may be hidden dangers, but as long as there is evidence from the divine court, the situation can be calmed down."

coming!

Chen Yuan took advantage of the situation and asked: "How can Shenting prove it?"

"General, you don't know?" Liu Yisheng was a little surprised, but he seemed to understand something, "Yes, the Central-Earth Shinto is stable. Several gods have been in power for many years and worship them as usual. It is normal for the general not to know."

This short sentence contains a lot of information!

Chen Yuan cooperated and said: "I heard someone said that there is a divine king in Huashan who wants to ascend the throne. Is it true or false?"

"This is true." Liu Yisheng nodded.

Chen Yuan said: "You want to worship this new king? What are the rules? What are the benefits?"

"It is those who are self-reliant who want to worship, not us." Liu Yisheng first made a correction and then said: "Da Ning worships the two gods Dongyue and Nanyue, so he goes to the mountain god Hebo in various places, the city god in each city, and The land gods in villages and towns are all governed and assisted by Shinto, so the country is stable..."

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and asked simply: "If worshiping Shenting is so easy, will Daning lose the land in the north?"

Liu Yisheng did not expect that the other party would say something taboo. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "The desert people also worshiped the Dongyue Divine Lord. After several large sacrifices, they won his favor. Only then can they stabilize their rule after annexing the northern land."

Chen Yuan felt more and more strange and asked: "If that's the case, you in the northwest can worship the new king, but Yanguo and Daning can't?"

Liu Yisheng shook his head and said: "Daning and Dayan both went to worship many years after the Beiyue, Dongyue and Nanyue divine courts were established, but the northwest is different. The divine ways here are incomplete and there are holes everywhere. Those who are self-reliant want to When the divine king ascends the throne, he will worship together and establish Huashan as the northwest orthodoxy. This is equivalent to the meritorious service of the new dynasty. He has contributed to the founding of the country and will be difficult to shake in the future!"

Chen Yuan's heart sank and he thought to himself: If what Liu Yisheng said is true, doesn't it mean that Shinto has penetrated into every aspect of China-Earth? The Northwest is still doing well because the position of Emperor Xiyue has been vacant for many years?

Vaguely, he understood why Lushou Mountain God was so eager to act.

"It seems that whether it is refining the flying sword or improving the cultivation level, we must speed up. Once the Xiyue Divine Lord ascends the throne, I may not have free time for me to squander it."

As soon as he thought about this, he stopped talking and just said: "It would be too childish if we can only worship the right gods in this country."

Liu Yisheng sighed. After a conversation with Chen Yuan, he gained some understanding. He did not dare to look down upon him anymore. After a few words, he saw that the other party was interested, so he had to stand up and leave, agreeing to come back in the future.

As soon as the others left, Chen Yuan immediately told Zhang Que that he was going to practice his martial arts in seclusion and not to be disturbed.

Liu Yisheng returned to the city lord's mansion, only to find that there was a visitor in the mansion!

"Great niece, please come inside."

Wang Jie came out to greet him personally.

The person who came was a woman with a pretty face and fair skin. It was obvious at a glance that she was disguised as a man.

This girl's name is Zeng Rouniang, and her father is Zeng Wan, the governor of Longxi County.

Although she is a woman, Zeng Rouniang is not a beautiful woman, but a heroine who can mount a horse and kill the enemy. She is very prestigious in the northwest.

"Uncle Shi, you're welcome." Sitting down after the order of priority, Zeng Rouniang went straight to the point without being verbose, "Jincheng was raided by deserters, and we couldn't help in time. It's too late now. It's my turn to tell Uncle Shi." Please forgive me"

"I can't blame the county governor, he is really cunning, alas!" Wang Jie shook his head with emotion on his face.

Zeng Rouniang took advantage of the situation and said: "I heard that a young hero emerged from this battle. Can Uncle Shi recommend him to him?"

Wang Jue was startled and then understood: "Given your age, you are about the same age as General Zhenwu. Maybe you can get along well with him." After saying that, he went to give the order.

Zeng Rouniang then said something more, then made an excuse and followed the person who led the way to the barracks.

As soon as they left, Liu Yisheng walked out from behind the screen and whispered: "Longcheng sent this female general because she was interested in the soldiers and horses of Jincheng, but they underestimated General Zhenwu. Zeng Rouniang is indeed powerful, but if she can Suppress General Chen, hey! Just sit back and watch, there will be a good show." Afterwards, he sneered.

Wang Jiaqi said: "Why did your evaluation of that young general improve a lot after you returned from this visit?"

"General Chen is not an ordinary military man. He is actually both civil and military. If the lord wants to borrow his power, he should find another way to negotiate..." Next, Liu Yisheng told Wang Jie about his experience of this visit, which made him Wang Jie was greatly surprised.

About half an hour later, Zeng Rouniang, dressed in white and dressed as a prince, and her soldier and friend Lu Lu arrived outside the barracks.

Although the two of them were dressed as men, where was the barracks? After months of holding back, as long as I have a fair face and a good figure, it doesn't matter if I'm a woman, let alone two real women?

After a while, people who saw the clues came over and started making noises, as if they were attracted by lust.

"Coming to visit the camp? I know you best. Wherever you two want to go, just tell me and I will take you there!"

"Don't listen to him. How many years has he joined the army? I am the veteran!"

"You have to ask me, Old Fu, for this kind of thing. Is there anything inside or outside this camp that I don't know about?"

Listening to the noise of several people, Lu Lu frowned, filled with disgust.

Zeng Rouniang didn't take it seriously, waited for a few people to take a break, and asked: "I want to visit General Zhenwu, can you make some recommendations?"

As soon as she finished speaking, all the military commanders who had been trying to please everyone just now became serious.

"So you're here to visit the general!"

"Friends of the general? That would be rude of us."

"Let me inform you to see if the general is free."

In an instant, all of them were serious, and the awe in their eyes almost overflowed, as if they were saying: As long as you also admire General Zhenwu, you are their half-brother!

Seeing this scene, Lulu was just slightly surprised.

Zeng Rouniang was frightened in her heart and became vigilant, but she remained calm on the surface. She nodded with a smile and asked a few people to help with the communication.

Taking a break, Lu Lu whispered: "The fake general's prestige in the army is not small. I don't know if we expose him..."

"Prestige in the military does not rely on false reputation, but requires real military achievements!" Zeng Rouniang whispered in response, "I underestimated him, but I am curious about what kind of person he is."

"Okay, when we meet, I will also take a look at his martial arts cultivation. The rumors outside are too bizarre! How can one person defeat ten thousand armies and behead the enemy with one sword!" Lulu chuckled, "But As long as I see him, I can use the Desolate Dream Technique to detect his true identity!"

After a while, they followed the guide and arrived outside Chen Yuan's tent, but were stopped by Zhang Que immediately.

"My general has an order to stay away. If something happens, come back when the general comes out."

"Since the general has an order, then I'll wait..." Upon hearing this, the leader subconsciously agreed.

Lulu said dissatisfied: "My young master is a famous general in the northwest. This time he comes to visit with the goodwill of the county governor. Please go in and inform him that General Zeng is visiting Longcheng!"

Zhang Que's face tightened and he raised his voice: "The general's decision is not for us to comment on! Nor can we disobey it! Please come back!"

Lu Lu raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but suddenly her heart was beating wildly and the warning signs in her heart increased!

She was horrified, looked along the induction, and found that the source of this mysterious induction was within the tent!

"Is it that fake general!? What is he doing?"
