Chapter 88 Lead the snake out of the hole
Yuheng nodded, and felt relieved in his heart.
Baiyun Temple decided to stop because of the obstruction of the Qianlong, but it also saved his life. Otherwise, Yuheng and Qianlong were too involved and could not get out of their way. Without support from the door, they would have to fight against the enemy by themselves alone. This was a situation of death without life.
After all, even Qianlong is extremely afraid of this opponent!
Seeing this, Qingxu smiled slightly. Yuheng was the most optimistic junior in his lineage. He was unwilling to give up until he had no choice.
Then he said: "Since I went down the mountain, I have investigated the Mengmie Zhenren of Taishang Dao several times, but the person behind the scenes is very hidden and there are no clues to this day..."
A layer of haze also appeared on Yuheng's face: "Can't you calculate it with the power of two real people?"
"If the machine is confused today, even if the real person and the calculation method are wrong, they will often fail. In addition, Wu Nan's cultivation world has secret techniques, which can cover up the traces, which is even more troublesome..."
Qingxu explained. In fact, the price of real people being punished by great losses in their Taoism and even being punished by heaven is not impossible to calculate, but the saying goes, real people are only one step away from being long-lasting, so who is willing to sacrifice?
"So, this time, Qianlong sent troops is also a great opportunity!"
Yuheng's eyes lit up and he said, "Shock the snake!"
"Not bad!" Qingxu stroked his beard, "The person behind the scenes invested a lot of Song Yu, and even gave him dragon energy, and the goal was quite large. Now the hidden dragon energy is so strong that it can attack Xin'an, which can lead the snake out of the cave!"
"And, the person behind the scenes dare not come forward directly. His strength is not as strong as my Baiyun Temple. Only by relying on secular power can he surpass it. Now he is going to cut off his path..."
Qingxu stood up, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Wuzhou has always been the only one in Baiyunguan. Now in troubled times, some people want to make a move. If they don’t suppress it, they will easily become a role model. At that time, casual cultivators from all over the country will also learn to rise up. Will Baiyunguan still survive?
"What the master said is very true!" Yuheng nodded in agreement.
"Since the Li family has decided to send troops to attack Xin'an next spring, I, Baiyunguan, and formally form an alliance with Qianlong. Then I will continue to instruct you not to be restrained from your veins, ask for people to give them, ask for money, and ask for food!"
True Man Qingxu said. These mortal branches are just the skin and fur. As long as the Baiyun Temple is still there, it will develop again in more than ten years, so don’t worry too much.
In the past, in order to avoid being too arrogant and to prevent being discovered by the Li family in advance, Baiyun Temple's support was very hidden. Now, we have to blatantly and spare no expenses.
"Yes!" Yuheng looked happy. As the head disciple, he naturally knew how terrifying the accumulation of Baiyun Temple in secret in Wuzhou was.
Wu Nan and others were open, which was enough to expand Qianlong's army by another 3,000. Moreover, the food, pay and weapons allocated from the next year have been greatly supplemented. Basically, logistics does not need to be considered.
In this way, the strength has increased by more than 50%!
Next year, Xin'an Mansion will surely be broken in one fell swoop. By then, the Li family's fortune will increase greatly, and Yuheng's cultivation will naturally increase.
As for the people in the secret, as long as they come out, Baiyun Temple will still be afraid that he will not succeed?
Yu Heng's heart is like a mirror. At this time, the hidden dangers are clear, the thoughts are clear in his mind, and the light is faintly emitted from his eyes, but he has made great progress in his Taoism.
Qingxu looked at it and encouraged him: "Yes, you are in the secular world and can still not forget your practice and not be fascinated by the glory of the world. At this time, you are only half a step away from the real person..."
But I felt a little regretful. This was influenced by the energy that Qianlong had recently obtained. If Qianlong could always gain power, it would be natural. Once Qianlong was defeated, then...
In the past, Baiyun Temple had its own secret technique for thousands of years. If the battle for dragons failed, it would cost some money to save Yuheng. But now, it is impossible to save it.
...
In Xin'an Mansion, Song Yu was coming to a warehouse.
This warehouse is extremely large, with soldiers guarding around it, and the vigilance is strong.
Song Yu was wearing a python robe and a golden crown on his head. He was so arrogant and walked in front.
There was a man behind him, with a hunched figure and deep wrinkles on his face. His hands were covered with cracks, covered with calluses, and steel was poured on iron, which was not like a living thing.
This man was wearing an eighth-rank official uniform and followed Song Yu. There were dozens of guards on both sides, wearing strong and sharp sides, protecting his wings.
Since Song Yu knew that the catastrophe was approaching, he would not be able to wear the White Dragon Fish Suit and put himself in danger. Not only did the Jiedu Mansion be strictly guarded, but he was also surrounded by people when traveling, and a large number of soldiers followed him.
According to statistics, since the establishment of the Jiedu Mansion, it has been subjected to three waves of assassins. However, it has never been killed in front of Song Yu, and even the soldiers have suffered little losses.
Song Yu came to the main entrance and said, "Open it!"
A sergeant immediately stepped forward, pulled out the brass key, and opened the warehouse door.
I saw a squeak, a piece of dust rose, and a turbid air came along with these, which made people frown.
Song Yu looked at him as if he had disappeared. Two soldiers came in behind him. He came out soon after and nodded.
Song Yu strode in. The official took the oil lamp early. With the fire, he could see that there were wooden frames on both sides, each filled with armor.
There are many, many, among which, iron armor is the least, leather armor is second. The most is a strange armor, which almost covers the warehouse and even piles up a lot of them on the ground.
Song Yu picked up one, which was in the style of a breastplate, without knee pads and helmet. After weighing it, it was not very heavy, dark yellow, shiny, and faintly textured, not made of iron and leather.
This is bamboo armor, a kind of armor unique to the south, and the main material is bamboo.
There are many bamboo forests in the south, and local materials are used, so they are naturally cheap and can be equipped with a lot of equipment.
Song Yu turned around and said, "Sun Miao, check carefully!"
Sun Miao bowed and said, "Yes, I'm so awake!"
Sun Miao was born in a craftsman and was in Daqian. He was the lowest-class identity and was always regarded as a low-key career. Not only did he live a hard life, he was also exploited by superior officials, and many of them had broken their families and fled.
When Qin Zongquan arrived, they needed to build arms and maintain the city walls, and their treatment was improved, but that was the case, and it was impossible to get much better.
In ancient times, how many people had outstanding skills and obtained high officials and generous salaries?
Song Yu started his own business from scratch, although it was difficult, but it was less hindered. The Ministry of Works was of great importance, so how could it be handed over to a scholar who could only read and write poetry as before.
No matter how you look at it, you will end up with a tragic outcome.
Therefore, Song Yu issued a decree to establish a consultant from the craftsman, and found the most prestigious one from the craftsmen, Sun Miao, who served as the consultant. In addition, craftsmen who improved the life of craftsmen, actively worked, and had good product quality, could receive rewards, and even an official position, and he would be free from his lowliness from then on!
In order to show his attitude, Sun Miao was promoted on the spot and also given land and houses.
This policy immediately led to the craftsman's efforts and worked hard every day in order to improve his status.
The continuous stream of military supplies was built.
Of course, this move was criticized by many aristocratic families, but Song Yu only thought it was ignored. What made him a little worried was that the silver obtained by Qin Zongquan and several wealthy families were invested in this bottomless pit.
If there weren't a big battle, Song Yu would have hoped to take it slowly, but unfortunately, time is too late.
According to the news received by Chen Yun and the master, the Li family is ready to take action. There will be a big battle in the beginning of spring!
If you win this battle, you can completely get rid of the Qianlong fortune and be free from it from now on. There seems to be a flame igniting in Song Yu's eyes, and he is about to burn.
At this time, Sun Miao finished the inspection and reported: "Sir Qi, the count has been completed. There are five iron armors, thirty-seven pairs of leather armors and 533 bamboo armors, all of which can be used in general!"
Song Yu nodded. This was the accumulation of Qin Zongli, and now it belongs to him, and he is also the pioneer of the king.
This bamboo armor is cheap but somewhat inconvenient. In terms of defense, it can only be used to guard against ordinary bows and arrows. It also has a certain protective effect in melee combat, but it is powerless to do anything about long crossbows and hard arrows.
In the army, ordinary soldiers only have one weapon, plus a zither suit, and train for a few months, even if they are elite soldiers. This is also the standard of other states.
The south, the sergeant, the fire chief and the veterans were only wearing bamboo armor.
When you arrive at the team, you can wear leather armor. Not only is the defense stronger than bamboo armor, but it is also more flexible and comfortable.
Going up again, there are iron armors like the main line of the camp. The ancient iron materials are precious. The value of a pair of iron armor is enough to meet the land and houses. It is the heirloom of the general.
When you get the general, you will have high-end armor such as goose feather armor and bright light armor, which are all in one place.
Of course, these are talking about ordinary troops, state soldiers and government soldiers. The central direct army of Daqian is called the Imperial Army. It is Daqian's power and first-class equipment. Even the lowest-level soldiers are wearing leather armor, and can be called the elite in the world!
Song Yu nodded and said, "No, you can arm me."
Only with perfect military equipment and sufficient military strength can we have the confidence to argue. This time, the Li family is coming with great momentum, and it is even more difficult to take action with Qianlong's momentum.
After the inspection, Song Yu ordered: "It is said that the officers above the Xin'an Prefecture Camp gathered in the conference hall. I have an order to issue it!"
A soldier bowed and ran out.
Since it was the lord who was summoned, his subordinates naturally did not dare to neglect them.
When Song Yu came to the conference hall, he was basically there. Song Yu glanced at him and found that except for the remaining county town, the rest were here.
I saw the military energy gathering together, and the solemn and murderous energy filled me, and I couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Song Yu sat in the main seat by himself.
Below, Ye Hongyan led the generals to bow down: "I have met the general!"
Song Yu raised his hand: "No gift!"
After everyone got up and put them in a row, they asked, "Song Hu!"
"The mark is here!" Song Hu took the lead.
"How about the training of surrendered troops?"
"You are the general manager. Basically, the training is over, you can use it!" Song Hu's voice was calm.
"Okay, so, there are really five thousand soldiers in my town now." Song Yu said, and the officers below showed joy. After all, the army expanded and there were more seats available, there would be a chance to make a comeback.
Seeing this, Song Yu continued, "I have received news from this town. Li Xun of Linjiang will attack me next year. Do you have confidence?"
All those present were confidants, so Song Yu told the truth.
Upon hearing this, the officers below were a little upset. Song Yu frowned.
Chapter completed!
