Blue Book Tribulation Phoenix

Chapter 29 Situation

Leaving the endless loneliness and uneasiness behind, Wuji galloped forward on horseback.

"My subordinates welcome the leader." Everyone standing outside the Mingjiao General's residence said in unison.

Wuji jumped off his horse: "There's no need to be too polite. It's okay to catch the wind. The war is important. Let's go in and talk."

The old general Han Shantong was injured in bed and was unable to come out to meet him, so the major general Han Lin'er led the way.Everyone followed Wuji into the meeting hall.

"How the battle is going now, please report your situation one by one."

According to the order of the seats, everyone reported to him one at a time.

Han Lin'er was the first one: "My subordinate followed my father to lead the main force of the Mingjiao uprising army. Now the number of the main force has tripled, and it can basically compete with the main force of the Yuan army."

After he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang was the second to get up: "This subordinate leads the Mingjiao elite troops as an advance army to test the actual situation of the Yuan army's troops, the Yuan army's East Route Army"

When it was Chang Yuchun's turn to speak, he walked forward, and a person behind him followed him, he saluted Wuji, and that person also saluted Wuji.The movements of the two people are exactly the same, that person is almost like the shadow of Chang Yuchun.

Wuji was a little strange: "Brother Chang, who is this person?"

Chang Yuchun looked at his side: "My dear brother, why did you have this dementia again? Hurry up and back down."

"Wait! Let him raise his head and let me see."

"Since the leader said so, brother, you still don't raise your head."

The man thought it was as if he could only hear Chang Yuchun's words, and only after hearing his words did he reveal his face.

Wuji looked at his face and stood up in surprise.

Chang Yuchun didn't know how his adopted brother could scare the leader: "Master, do you recognize him?"

"Ah? Ah, he looks a bit like an old acquaintance. Let's talk about this later. Let him retreat first, and you report the situation of your own troops."

Wuji glanced at the man in confusion, and then listened intently to the reports of the generals.

Now Mingjiao's army on the East Road is slightly weaker than the Yuan army, they can only resist and have no ability to fight back.However, the main forces of the Yuan soldiers are all near the southwest capital, and the Ming sect gradually gains the upper hand in this area.Feige sent a message to the leaders of all walks of life, except for leaving enough troops to protect the areas that have been captured, the rest of the troops immediately converged in the direction of Dadu, preparing for a life-and-death battle with the Yuan soldiers.

Wuji compared the battle map, re-arranged and deployed, and immediately adjusted the deficiencies.

When all these were done, the whole morning had passed.

The horn for lunch break sounded.Wuji rolled up the battle map and handed it to Han Liner for safekeeping: "Everyone have a rest, and we will discuss the rest in the afternoon. Brother Chang, you and your brother will follow me to the study."

"Yes."

Walking on the veranda leading to the study, although Chang Yuchun wanted to ask Wuji why he asked himself to talk to his righteous brother alone, but the leader didn't intend to speak.

When they arrived at the study, Wuji sat on the first seat, and then waved for Chang Yuchun and the two to sit down.He carefully looked at that person again and again, more and more convinced that he did not recognize the wrong person, that person was Chen Youliang who tried to hurt Uncle Seven or Qing Shu with a hidden weapon at the foot of Emei Mountain, but was killed by himself with a hidden weapon instead.

Although Wuji remembered his appearance, he didn't know his name, let alone how he came to follow Big Brother Chang in the Mingjiao uprising army.

"Brother Chang, who is this person? Why haven't I seen it before. Don't blame me for asking so carefully. Now is an extraordinary period, and it is still necessary to prevent enemy spies from sneaking in."

Chang Yuchun recalled for a while and replied: "Master Bing, this person should not be a spy of the Yuan Dynasty. I picked him up on the road. One day when I was passing by the foot of Mount Emei, I heard a noise in the grass, and then I saw him coming from inside. Crawled out. When I rescued him, I found that he seemed to have suffered a serious head injury and completely lost his memory. At that time, he was wearing a wooden sign with the words Chen Youliang written on it, which should be his name."

Wuji pondered for a moment and asked, "What did he look like this morning?"

Chang Yuchun said guiltily: "Damn my subordinate, sometimes he looks like that, not only closely following me, but also learning what I do. But he is fine the rest of the time, don't look at him losing his memory, But he has good martial arts and is very smart. Several times it was his idea that I was able to defeat the enemy with fewer victories and more. Master Wanwang forgive him for his rudeness just now."

Chen Youliang followed suit and knelt down in front of Zhang Wuji: "I beg the leader to forgive me."

"Forget it, you guys get up. Since I have Brother Chang's guarantee, how can I not trust Brother Chen. However, if Brother Chen does something, Wuji will ask Brother Chang to ask."

Chang Yuchun said bluntly: "Of course, leader, don't worry, my foster brother is very honest and won't cause trouble."

"Besides this matter, I have other things to discuss with you. Can you let Brother Chen go out and avoid it for a while?"

Chen Youliang stood there like a fool as if he didn't hear it.Chang Yuchun discussed with him: "My dear brother, why don't you listen to the leader, you go out and wait for me first."

Chen Youliang grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go.Chang Yuchun looked at Zhang Wuji in embarrassment: "Master, why don't you let him go out. When he was demented, whenever he left me, he would cry and scream. Even if he is here to listen to us now, he will I don't understand."

"Brother Chang, are you sure he's not pretending?"

"Hey, leader, you think I'm too useless. I've been in the rivers and lakes for so long, how can I not see if it's real or not?"

"Brother Chang said so, let him stay in the house. Brother Chang, you and I have known each other since we were young. I am different from you and other subordinates. Wuji doesn't want to hide it from you. Every general except you, There is someone in the army who is my eyeliner. According to reports, Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be quite ambitious and may replace me, what do you think of this?"

After careful consideration, Chang Yuchun said: "It's true that he has great ambitions, but you don't have to worry about usurping the throne and seizing power. First, his popularity in the church is not as popular as yours, and you are the one that everyone expects. Second, although he has a lot of Great military power, but not as big as me and Han Liner, if he dares to rebel, Brother Han and I will naturally suppress him together."

"That's all I want to ask. With your guarantee, I can feel more at ease. Brother Chang and Brother Chen go down to rest. We will continue to discuss in the afternoon. We need to recharge our energy at noon."

After they left, the believers brought meals made by themselves in the small kitchen.Wuji ate to his heart's content, leaned on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, Shou Nanshan's craftsmanship is still as good as ever. I really don't know how Han Liner tricked such a good cook into Mingjiao."

After taking a nap after dinner, Wuji returned to the meeting hall, and everyone came back one after another.

Sitting down, Wuji asked: "Can our army start a war with the main force of Yuan soldiers now?"

Han Liner stood up and said, "Reporting to the leader, I'm afraid this won't work. Our army and the Yuan army have just experienced a big battle, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Now we are trying our best to confront each other head-on. We are in a state of truce for the time being, and our army is hurrying up." Recruiting troops and buying horses."

Wuji thought for a while and asked: "Mr. Fan, is the money in the teaching still enough?"

Fan Yao took the account handed over by Yang Xiao, presented it to Wuji, and said, "If it's only used to pay for religious affairs, it's more than enough, but if it's used in the military, it's a little tight."

Yang Xiao added: "The money we are using now is not only Mingjiao's own, but also gifted by wealthy businessmen. If we can get the support of the Chamber of Commerce headed by the richest man in Jiangnan, the Ke family, then the military expenditure can be increased a lot, and we don't have to worry about the lack of backup supplies. Problem."

Wuji was a little surprised and asked: "With Mr. Yang's eloquence, he can't persuade them to come up with money?"

"The leader doesn't know. The current old head of the Ke family doesn't care about things. The elder of the Ke family, Ke Da, is in charge of the family business. He is shrewd and cunning. It is said that the Ke family also has a second young master, Ke Zhao, who likes men. My lord, my subordinates feel that this person should be easy to talk to, but I heard that he went out to learn martial arts when he was young, and he hasn't returned home for many years."

As soon as he heard Ke Zhao's name, Wuji knew clearly: "Mr. Yang doesn't need to worry about this matter, I may be able to find a solution. I will handle this matter myself, but everyone should save some, and I would rather we save less money." They can’t let the soldiers who worked hard on the battlefield starve.”

"The leader is wise!"

There is one more thing Wuji needs to figure out: "How long will it take to raise all the troops?"

"It will take about two months."

"How long will it take for Yuan Bing?"

Budai monk, who was in charge of collecting information in Dadu, couldn't help but say, "It will probably take about the same amount of time."

Wuji thought for a while, and took out a volume of military books from his arms. "This is the five-element formation that I researched based on the characteristics of the Five Banners Army after I studied the art of war. I have troubled the five-banner commanders to work together and train them to coordinate the formation. If used properly, one of them can equal the power of ten."

Among the envoys of the Five Banners, fire is the most respected, and the Envoy of the Fire Banner represents Wuji's envoys to receive Wuji's art of war.

Wuji said again: "I still have some things to deal with, and I need to leave for a while. When I am away, I will still trouble King Wei Bat and King Yingye to help the two envoys handle the affairs of the church."

Fan Yao asked: "Dare to ask when the leader will return?"

"Within two months, I will definitely come back before the war. But I will personally lead the troops to the battle to boost morale and stabilize the morale of the army."

Yang Xiao thought about everything carefully: "Why did the leader leave this time? Do you need to bring more people?"

"Although it's a very important matter, it's not a public matter. Now we have to employ people everywhere. I can just leave by myself. You don't have to send someone to protect me."

"Since the leader said so, let's not say much. The horses and luggage will be prepared by the subordinates."

Wuji was worried about whether Zhou Zhiruo would show his feet in front of Zhao Min, so he didn't dare to delay. "Before it's dark, I'll go on the road now." Less than a day after getting off the horse, Wuji got back on the horse after explaining the things in the army.He rushed to the Qingfeng Building in Dadu without stopping.I don't know if there is one person waiting for me or two?If two women are there, how should I deal with it?Now I can only take one step at a time, and then I will test my adaptability.
