Chapter 766 How to Promote to a First Rank Martial Artist

Xu Qi'an, with his sword hilt inserted, sat at the head of the meeting hall.

He sat in this position, not because everyone respected his reputation and feared his cultivation.

Theoretically speaking, Xu Qi'an's current official position is the leader of the policemen's yamen, and his power and position are comparable to those of the imperial court. Even if he has no real power, his official title is greater than that of Yang Gong, the governor of a state.

"Everyone just talk, my officer listens."

Xu Qi'an looked around at the officials on both sides and raised his head.

He is a complete layman in matters such as marching and fighting, adjusting food and troops, stabilizing the rear and so on.

In these fields, it is okay to give ideas and point out shortcomings. Let him make overall plans and arrangements, which will only get in the way.

Yang Gong nodded, took Xu Qi'an's right to speak, and said:

"In this meeting, there are three things I want to discuss with you, namely, money and food, sources of troops, and lines of defense.

"Among them, money and food are closely related to the source of troops. After the fall of Qingzhou, although we took away most of the military supplies, the shortage of money and food has always troubled us.

"The grain and grass transported from Zhangzhou sank in the river not long ago, and the army escorting the grain and grass was wiped out."

Zhangzhou is one of the granaries of Dafeng, with the most abundant reserves of grain and grass. Ten days ago, during the peace talks, the fleet transported from Zhangzhou to Dafeng was attacked.

This is the purpose of the Yunzhou rebels to intercept the grain and grass transported to Yongzhou from various states.

Dafeng has a vast territory, and whether it is by water or land, the journey is extremely long. Encountering an enemy ambush during the escort process is an unavoidable accident.

Of course, the Dafeng Army also sent elite experts to sneak into Yunzhou and Qingzhou to intercept the road.

At this time, the fight is the material background of both sides, as well as the number of masters.

Compared with Dafeng, the biggest advantage of Yunzhou is the lack of strategic depth. Yes, a small territory also has small advantages, which means that the escort distance is short, the terrain is not complicated, and the probability of mistakes is correspondingly reduced.

Li Mubai pondered and said:

"Yongzhou is rich and prosperous, but we need to stabilize the victims and support the army at the same time. We can support it for a month at most. After one month, we will search for the "people's fat and people's anointing"."

Xu Erlang interjected:

"If you recruit troops, you can greatly reduce the cost of money and food."

Incorporate those refugees who eat free food into the army to maximize the use of resources.

Li Mubai said in a deep voice:

"In this case, it can last for three months"

He glanced at Mo Sang, a fighter from the Ligu Department beside Miao Youfang, and changed his words:

"Two months is fine."

All the officials and generals were silent, frowning.

The problem of money and food has always been the primary problem facing Dafeng. If there is no money and no food, what kind of battle should we fight?

I can let the flower god ripen a batch of grain, but it's just a drop in the bucket! Xu Qi'an thought of the flower god's spirit.

But immediately felt that this proposal was unreliable, Mu Nanzhi could only ripen the food and grass, and how much food and grass did the imperial court need? How many mouths do you have to eat? Not an order of magnitude, but this method can be used in an emergency.

At that time, the flower god who has finished ripening will cry and say: "It's gone, there's not a single drop left!"

When Xu Qi'an thought of this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Boom!"

He knocked on the table a few times, attracting everyone's attention, and said:

"His Majesty will set up market towns in Chuzhou and Yuzhou, open and close the city, and it won't take long for Dafeng to have money and food."

Immediately inform everyone of the policy at the Huaiqing Dynasty meeting.

It will take time for the imperial government's decrees to spread to the states, and this is definitely not as fast as the "Tianji Palace Secret Detective", an organization that relies on teleportation to deliver messages.

Of course, when Sun Xuanji's teleportation formation is completed, the speed of news exchange in Yongzhou will be greatly increased.

"wonderful!"

Zhang Shen stroked his beard and smiled:

"These two decrees can solve Dafeng's urgent needs and worries."

Adding market towns and opening customs markets can fill the national treasury and relieve the emptiness of the imperial treasury. Taking back the abandoned farmland will allow the refugees to have land to cultivate after the spring begins.

These days, it is actually very easy to appease the people. If you give him a few acres of land, it will be difficult for the Yunzhou rebels to recruit refugees as cannon fodder.

Li Mubai praised:

"When His Majesty was studying at Yunlu Academy, he showed impressive practical ability. It is a blessing for the common people to visit the Great Treasure now."

Everyone praised them one after another. Compared with Yongxing, the Empress's ascension to the throne gave them hope.

Probably only Xu Yinluo had the courage to support a woman to ascend the throne.

All the officials and generals looked at Xu Qi'an with admiration, but after seeing the hilt of the sword above his head, they all lowered their heads again, not letting themselves laugh out loud.

Yuan Hufa's blue eyes swept across the crowd, his lips moved, and just about to speak, Sun Xuanji handed the teacup in front of him, and said expressionlessly:

"drink!"

Yuan Hufa quickly opened his mouth and took a sip to swallow the words that rushed to his mouth.

All the officials and generals, sweating in their hearts, cast grateful glances at Sun Xuanji.

If Yuan Hufa read what they were thinking just now, then everyone would be discussing matters standing or kneeling. In short, Xu Yinluo would not let them go.

Yang Gong coughed lightly, brought the subject back, and said with an extremely serious face:

"The third question, the line of defense!

"And before that, we need to estimate when the Yunzhou Army's next attack will be."

Zhou Mi, the former Commander of Qingzhou, pondered for a while, and said:

"The Yunzhou army suffered a big defeat. The battle in Xunzhou City was considered a injury. They didn't make a comeback so soon. They should wait for the legendary White Emperor to return to the Kyushu mainland."

The existence of the White Emperor is no secret to the senior executives present.

During the beheading of Heilian, Baidi did not appear, which exposed the fact that he was not in Kyushu.

"No, I think they will attack Yongzhou in the near future."

Li Mubai gave different opinions, and the great scholar of Yunlu Academy analyzed:

"First of all, the spring festival is approaching. Yunzhou can bear this battle for half a year and a year. After a few years of fighting, they will be dragged down by the war. And your majesty's two strategies are the basis for a protracted war.

"If the Yunzhou rebels know about it, they will definitely not delay and enter the palace immediately."

Miao Youfang suddenly said:

"It is also possible to attack Yuzhou and stop the imperial court's strategy."

Yuzhou is adjacent to southern Xinjiang.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was vetoed by Xu Erlang beside him:

"The military strength of Yunzhou is not enough to support them to fight on two fronts."

This is the reason why Yunzhou wanted to negotiate peace and took Yuzhou without bloodshed.

Everyone realized again that if the peace talks were successful and the Yunzhou army took over Yuzhou or Zhangzhou, then the real situation was over, and it was only a matter of time before the imperial court perished.

Dafeng has been on the verge of extinction once, and the civil servants and generals felt emotional.

Xu Yinluo's coup changed the fate of the Dafeng Dynasty.

Yang Gong made a final summary:

"From the rest to the deployment of troops, it will not take more than half a month at most. Before the spring festival, Yunzhou and us will have a fierce battle. Next, we need to build the first line of defense and select the defenders"

Qingzhou chief envoy.

In the same morning, Yunzhou's top military officials were also having a meeting.

After everyone arrived, Ge Wenxuan looked around the crowd and started:

"Tianji Palace has just received news that the capital is planning to open customs markets in Jianzhou and Yongzhou to exchange business with the northern monsters, southern border Gu tribes, and Wanyao kingdoms to enrich the treasury. In addition, there is a decree to Buy back the fields from the gentry and nobles, and use them to appease the refugees after the spring festival.

"This is not a good sign. It hits my weakness in Yunzhou everywhere."

Hearing this, the high-level generals present frowned, already aware of the impact on the situation after the implementation of these two decrees.

Zhuo Haoran grinned:

"Switch City? It's a good idea. I led the dead and took them all together."

Ge Wenxuan said indifferently:

"Yes, we will prepare the funeral for General Zhuo in advance."

Zhuo Haoran raised his eyebrows.

Without giving him a chance to get angry, Yang Chuannan said in a deep voice:

"The matter of Jianzhou is too far away, we can't get involved.

"Yuzhou is adjacent to Qingzhou, so it can be considered within reach. But have you ever thought that the most happy people who open and close the city are the Gu clan, the Wanyao Kingdom, and the Central Plains caravan.

"In the Central Plains, the Gu people urgently need tea, porcelain, silk, salt and iron, etc. The Wanyao Kingdom has just been established, and there is no shortage of everything except herbs and food. The Gu people and the Yao people will definitely send troops to the market town.

"And the southern border is rich in products, enough to drive the profit-seeking business travelers crazy. In the past, the Gu clan and Dafeng did not deal with it. When Buddhism ruled the Shiwanda Mountains, they refused to do business with the Central Plains. They had no choice.

"Now that these worries are gone, there will inevitably be a large number of caravans flocking to Yuzhou. The world is not peaceful, and they will hire a certain scale of armed forces to protect them. You lead the dead to take them away. Heh, who will kill whom?"

You must know that martial arts in the Central Plains are prosperous, and there are as many forces in the world as a cow.

These quacks don't care about Dafeng's life and death, but they can be driven by interests, and there will even be caravans formed by forces from all corners of the country to go to Yuzhou.

Ge Wenxuan nodded, agreed with Yang Chuannan's analysis, and added:

"If we send troops to Yuzhou, with our strength and supplies, it would be risky to fight on two fronts."

Zhuo Haoran was silent.

Qi Guangbo said lightly:

"Now you know why Xu Qi'an supported a woman to ascend the throne? He supported the eldest princess not only to stabilize the rear, but also because this woman is unparalleled. Xu Qi'an is equivalent to adding wings to a tiger.

"In the future, the enemies we have to face are not only Xu Qi'an, but also Dafeng, the empress."

A general pondered for a moment, and tentatively said:

"There is no prison in the capital, so why didn't the national teacher directly enter the capital and kill the female emperor?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, thinking that this is a feasible strategy.

Qi Guangbo was silent, then sighed:

"That's the death of jade and stone."

He didn't explain much, and glanced at Ji Xuan, who was taciturn and seemed a little autistic, and said:

"Persisting on emotion is not an emperor's talent. If you don't want to be looked down upon by the national teacher and His Majesty, then erase the word Ji Yuan from your heart."

Ji Xuan nodded, but did not speak.

Qi Guangbo continued:

"Yuzhou is going to fight, but not now. Prepare to attack Yongzhou first. I only give you half a month. After half a month, send troops to Yuzhou."

Yang Chuannan was taken aback:

"General, are you waiting for Baidi?"

Qi Guangbo shook his head:

"We can't afford it if it costs a lot. In addition, Luo Yuheng's catastrophe is imminent, and Xu Qi'an is also an unstable factor. The more time we give them, the more uncontrollable things will become.

"Besides, do you know when the White Emperor will return? The fate of Yunzhou, our fate, will not depend on a foreign aid."

[One: The teleportation array in the imperial palace must be in my bedroom. If you are worried about Lin'an, let Sun Xuanji build one in her Shaoyin Palace. If Xu Pingfeng and Jia Luoshu really attacked the capital, the teleportation array would only have a chance of survival in the bedroom. 】

[Three: No problem, as long as His Majesty doesn't mind, I certainly won't mind either. 】

[One: What do you mean? 】

[Three: Directional teleportation talisman, leading to the palace, I also have a few on hand. 】

Huaiqing didn't say anything for a long time, but he didn't say no.

Xu Qi'an continued to pass on the letter: [It's just that it really got to that point, it's really a bit tragic. 】

The two were chatting privately.

[One: At the end of the history of the Zhou Dynasty, during the reign of Yongyu, the army of witch gods attacked the capital. Under the escort of the army, Yongyu fled the capital, leaving the royal family and the common people in the city. The Witch God Sect army slaughtered for three days and three nights, and took the emperor and concubines back to the northeast.

[Emperor Yongyu assembled a large army at the border, and within six years, he drove the Witch God Army out of the Central Plains.

[The capital city is never important, as long as Zhen is not dead, Dafeng will not be destroyed. 】

In Huaiqing's biography, there is a strong and unparalleled self-confidence.

[One: In addition, if Xu Pingfeng dares to come to the capital, he should not even think about returning to Qingzhou and Yunzhou in a short time. This is also an opportunity for us to take over the headquarters of the Yunzhou rebel army. With Xu Pingfeng's character, unless he is in a desperate situation, he will not make the choice of dying together.

[There are two things you need to consider now: one, to help the national teacher overcome the tribulation. Second, how to advance to the first rank. 】

Help the national teacher to be promoted to the first rank, tsk tsk, this silver gong is for dual cultivation. Xu Qi'an sent a letter to respond:

【clear. 】

End the call.

Xu Qi'an sat on the head of Xunzhou city, looking at the blue sky, and pondered for a long time.

The major systems, after the promotion, there will be no barriers.

As long as you accumulate energy, sharpen your body, and improve your "jade pieces", you can rely on time to slowly push your cultivation to the peak of the second rank.

In other words, no matter what system or level, the most difficult thing is to break through.

At the beginning, Xu Qi'an relied on Wei Yuan's blood pill to advance to the third-rank immortal body. After that, there was no bottleneck.

What is really difficult is the level when upgrading the level.

Just like the old man, from the third rank to the peak of the third rank, it will take decades.

But the level of promotion to the second rank has blocked him for five hundred years.

"The third rank is promoted to the second rank, it is in harmony with the way, and the "meaning" is completed. What about the second rank to be promoted to the first rank?" Xu Qi'an frowned tightly:

"First-rank Wufu seems to have no name, and the water here is very deep. I feel that the Wufu system may be the most special among all systems, and the water is the deepest."

The Wufu system has existed since ancient times, but there has never been a super product.

The first rank of the Wufu system has no name.

These two points alone are enough to show that there is something wrong with the system.

He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged and looked inside, and unlocked the seal on Master Shenshu.

With his current rank two, it is not difficult to seal Shenshu's right arm. Although Master Shenshu is a monk and doesn't care about men and women, Xu Qi'an still refuses onlookers during the dual cultivation.

Luo Yuheng also refused that there was a bystander beside him when he was contradicted by the little silver gong.

A misty mist appeared in front of my eyes, and the mist was stroking like a veil. Deep in the mist, there was a ruined temple, and a handsome young monk sat cross-legged in front of the temple gate.

"Master, I want to ask a question." Xu Qi'an put his hands together:

"How to become a first-rank martial artist?"

PS: I wanted to ask for leave at first, because from the time the prison was sealed to the defense of Xunzhou, I had already written the detailed outline, and I did not write the follow-up detailed outline. Well, the detailed outline is not the outline. I have always finished the outline, so I don't have to worry about the outline.

After thinking about it, I feel that breaking it is even worse, so I insisted on coding this chapter.
