Chapter 504: Natural Born Commander
Mawangbao.
Even after the meeting in the hall ended and Tiger Lord sent everyone from the Tianhe clan away, he still felt like he was in a dream, and everything seemed so unreal.
Did they actually make it?
Did they really become part of the Tianhe clan?
From now on, the Huangshan Army will fight in the demon spirit world in the name of the Tianhe clan!
Even the second young master of the Tianhe clan promised in person that he would cooperate with the Huangshan Army in the future to conquer Black Wind City as the garrison base of the Huangshan Army!
This was something he had never thought of when he agreed to serve Ming Shuai and Miss Yang at the beginning of the Huangshan Army's uprising.
Originally, he thought that this must be a difficult journey full of thorns, and he had prepared for hard work for it, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, all the difficulties had solutions, and the originally bumpy and thorny road suddenly became bright!
Of course, even so, it does not mean that the future of the Desolate Mountain Army will be smooth, but at least they will have no problem gaining a foothold in the demon spirit world.
Tiger Zun was so excited that he did not sleep all night, but he was still energetic and full of energy when he woke up the next morning.
It was not until the third day when Frost Wolf brought a 5,000-man Tianhe tribe army to Mawangbao as a commander that Tiger Zun's enthusiasm gradually subsided.
He could not help but think of what Ming Shuai had said before, whether he agreed or not, the future would be a long struggle, and it was far from the time to rest easy.
As soon as Frost Wolf arrived at Mawangbao, he immediately placed his demon spirits in various places of the Desolate Mountain Army, and almost every mistress and demon general was equipped with a military supervisor.
Tiger Zun was quite vigilant about this, and was somewhat worried that Frost Wolf's people would do something secretly to divide the strength of the Desolate Mountain Army, so he immediately reported the matter to Ming Shuai.
Unexpectedly, Ming Shuai smiled faintly and said generously: "Let them do whatever they want, we just need to do our own job!"
Hearing Ming Shuai say this, Hu Zun had to give up, but he still couldn't help but pay attention to the movements of these supervisors in the army.
The so-called job refers to the training of his demon soldiers.
Since entering the demon spirit world, these little demons from the Great Wilderness Mountain have been improved more or less after breathing the demon mist, but they are still far from being elite, so they can only rely on training to make up for it.
So, in the next few days, Hu Zun concentrated on training these new demon soldiers.
Unexpectedly, the "supervisors" sent by Lord Frost Wolf were also very obedient.
Not only did they not obstruct and sabotage, they even helped supervise the training of the demon soldiers. Some supervisors saw Ming Shuai's new promotion of the "Yang Family Fist" and were excited for a while. They also practiced with him, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Until the sixth day, the conflict between the two sides finally broke out.
However, it was not about the issue of military supervision, but about the issue of military food and grass between Marshal Ming and the Frost Wolf.
"General, according to the agreement in our previous meeting, the Tianhe clan needs to provide us with food and grass. Why hasn't the first batch of food and grass arrived after so many days?"
Lu Yu asked loudly to Lord Frost Wolf.
Lord Frost Wolf replied slowly: "Marshal Ming, please be patient. How can we neglect what the young master promised? The food and grass are already on the way, but the journey is long, so delays are inevitable. I will go and urge them for you!"
"Delay?"
Lu Yu said dissatisfiedly: "There are more than 200,000 mouths in Ma Wang Fort now, and the food they need to eat every day is huge. These days, they have barely survived relying on the food left by Wang Mazi. If your food and grass are delayed for a few more days, the morale of the army will be unstable and cause a mutiny. Can you bear the responsibility?"
"Marshal Ming, don't put the blame on me. I am just a military supervisor, not a grain transport officer. What does the arrival of food and grass have to do with me?"
Lord Frost Wolf was not moved at all.
"However, if Marshal Ming is really worried, I can show you a way..."
"From here, go north for 800 miles and you will enter the territory of Hongchuan Plain. Hongchuan Plain is rich in water and grass, with herds of cattle and sheep, and there are several wealthy cities in the area."
"Why don't you order the army to march immediately into the Hongchuan Plain area and follow the method of taking down Mawangbao before, and plunder the Hongchuan Plain?"
"Even if the plunder fails, it doesn't matter. It is closer to the supply line of our Tianhe clan, and it will be more convenient to replenish food and grass. Marshal Ming doesn't have to worry as much as he does now!"
When Lord Frost Wolf said this, Tiger Lord beside him immediately realized that the other party had bad intentions.
The Hongchuan Plain is the territory of the Giant Spirit Clan. Like the Tianhe Demon Clan, the Giant Spirit Clan is a well-known and powerful force in the Demon Spirit World. Together with another powerful force, the Wu Luo Clan, they are the three strongest forces in the Demon Spirit World.
In Dakong Mountain, the three forces that compete most fiercely for resources are these three clans.
It is true that there is abundant water and grass there, but it is also the heartland of the Giant Spirit Clan, which is heavily guarded by the Giant Spirit Clan.
That place is like a tiger's butt, which cannot be touched at all...
Tiger Lord now realized that although the two sides had reached an agreement before, the Tianhe Clan did not intend to directly provide food and grass.
They are forcing the Wild Mountain Army to go to war with the Giant Spirit Clan head-on, and only provide material support to the Wild Mountain Army if they can be their tool puppets.
It is even possible that they do not even want to take out the materials, and directly throw the Wild Mountain Army to the Hongchuan Plain to fend for themselves...
For a moment, Tiger Lord's heart could not help but rise to his throat, fearing that Ming Shuai did not understand the inside story and agreed at once.
Fortunately, Marshal Ming did not agree immediately, but touched his chin and pondered: "Hongchuan Plain? Is there really enough food there to meet the needs of our 200,000 troops?"
"Of course, Hongchuan Plain can be said to be the richest place in the entire demon world. It is covered with divine mist. Under the influence of the divine mist, rice and fruits can be harvested in a month, and cattle, sheep and horses can grow in two months. I am afraid there is no more fertile granary in the world than there!" Lord Frost Wolf said confidently.
"How is the military deployment there? Will it be difficult to conquer it?" Lu Yu asked again.
Lord Frost Wolf did not answer directly, but said without comment: "Such a rich place is naturally guarded by heavy troops, but Marshal Ming now has more than 200,000 men under his command, and Marshal Ming and Miss Yang are invincible commanders. In my opinion, no matter what kind of defense arrangement, it is difficult to stop the troops of the Desolate Mountain Army!"
Hearing this, Lu Yu hesitated for a long time: "In this case, please ask the commander-in-chief to immediately formulate a marching plan and clear the passes and obstacles along the way. Our Desolate Mountain Army will set out to the north tomorrow!"
Lord Frost Wolf was immediately delighted and smiled: "Marshal Ming is wise, I will do it now!"
As soon as he left, Tiger Lord immediately stepped forward with an anxious look on his face.
But before he could speak, Lu Yu took the lead and ordered: "General Hu, get ready immediately. The army will set out tomorrow morning!"
Hu Zun was shocked: "Marshal Ming, are we really going north to fight Hongchuan Plain?"
"Any problem?"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
Hu Zun stamped his feet anxiously: "The Hongchuan Plain is a place heavily guarded by the giants. Lord Frost Wolf's move is clearly not good!"
Lu Yu smiled here: "Do you think I don't know that Hongchuan Plain is a dangerous place?"
"Hongchuan Plain is the territory of the giants, and there are heavy troops guarding the giants. With the current combat power of our Huangshan Army, we can't gain a foothold there."
"Marshal Ming knows all this?"
Hu Zun was stunned, and immediately confused: "Then... why do you insist on going north?"
The smile on Lu Yu's face became more and more intense, revealing a bit of cunning.
"I just said to go north. When did I say that we must attack the Hongchuan Plain?"
"If you don't say that, would Frost Wolf clear the passes along the way for us and provide convenience for our march? If it weren't for his clearing, the checkpoints and obstacles along the way alone would be enough for our Huangshan Army to drink a pot!"
"But once we cross these 800 miles of passes and obstacles, then where to attack will not be up to him!"
Tiger Lord was shocked and couldn't help but be deeply impressed by Lu Yu's courage and courage.
He asked tentatively: "I wonder where the real goal of Ming Shuai is after crossing these 800 miles of obstacles?"
Lu Yu didn't answer, but directly spread out a map on the table and pointed to one of them.
Tiger Lord was stunned when he saw the map. He didn't know how Ming Shuai got such a detailed and clear map of the demon spirit world...
After seeing the direction indicated on the map, he felt his heart shrink suddenly.
Fang City?
If Tiger Lord remembered correctly, that place should be Feng Shuai's hometown, a city with a very close relationship with the Tianhe clan!
In this way, wouldn't Ming Shuai have offended the two Tianyao Marshals of the clan one after another?
How many days has he joined the Tianhe clan?
For a moment, Tiger Lord's expression was completely dull, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak at all.
Sure enough, Ming Shuai is Ming Shuai!
No wonder he was able to establish the Huangshan Army in a few days, while he had been struggling for most of his life, but at most he could only create a Hong Kong Governor's Office, and it was a puppet regime...
His courage, boldness, strategy and means are simply beyond his imagination!
Only people like him are born commanders!
