Riding on the horse, Morigen's hands holding the reins were already cold.
Seeing the soldiers of the Shenwu Army slaughtering the soldiers of the Sirius clan wantonly on the battlefield, the terrifying power of destroying everything made Morigen completely fall into despair.
The cavalry assault tactics that the Sirius clan was proud of seemed so humble and ridiculous in front of this inhuman force.
The muscular warriors can cut the Tianlang tribe's assault cavalry into two pieces with just one sword. They can walk as fast as flying. Even if they are wearing heavy armor, they can run faster than war horses. The people in the wolf clan's battle formation fell on their backs.
The most terrifying thing is the commander of the Shenwu Army, the peerless strong man known as the 'Sword Lord'.
Morigen had also heard the rumors about the Anle Battle, but he didn't believe it at all. After all, the content of the 'rumors' was too exaggerated. Why should one ride against a thousand and take the enemy general's head from the crowd of tens of thousands of troops and put aside this story?
It wasn't until Mo Rigen saw it with his own eyes that he realized that the 'rumors' were not exaggerated at all, and even the strength Ye Qingzhou showed was even more powerful than the rumors!
While Mo Rigen was observing Ye Qingzhou, Ye Qingzhou was also observing him.
Ye Qingzhou raised his eyes and looked around. What he saw in his eyes were five light pillars soaring into the sky, and among the light pillars, there was a giant wolf with its teeth bared and roaring towards the sky.
"The Sirius clan implements a consensus system. There are five tribes: black, white, red, yellow, and green. Sirius is the ancestral god and rules the Monan grassland. It seems that these five pillars of light are the destiny of the Sirius clan."
With a thought in his mind, Ye Qingzhou immediately used his unique skill of cutting the sky and drawing the sword.
This sword gathers the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Youzhou. When it is held high, a huge amount of thinking power surges forward, and it stands majestic. It goes up to the round sky to align with the three lights, and down to the earth to align with the four seasons.
"Cut!"
The clanging sound of the sword resounded through the sky, and then the five pillars of luck were cut off with one sword.
The technique of cutting the sky and drawing the sword, the 'heaven' that is cut is not the sky, but the destiny.
Once one's destiny is cut off, one's luck will immediately decline and one will be despised by heaven and earth. Even drinking cold water and stuffing it between the teeth is considered light...
I saw five meteorites falling from the sky in the sky. Their light was brilliant and very beautiful.
Under the horrified gazes of the five Sirius tribe leaders, 'Haogui', 'Frost Knife', 'Bloody Hand', 'Barbarian Bear' and 'Gonghu', the meteor swooped down with a sharp whistle. It smashed into their camp.
Rumble~
The violent impact caused the ground to vibrate, and the shock wave swept across, killing tens of thousands of cavalry immediately. The rest were also horrified and completely lost their will to fight.
For those who worship ghosts and gods, such an astronomical disaster is simply like a ‘Tianxia’. God wants to destroy the Sirius clan!
At this moment, another strange scene appeared in the sky above the battlefield.
A large group of black clouds suddenly gathered, shaped like a collapsed earth mountain, and slowly pressed towards the Sirius tribe's camp from top to bottom. For a moment, the sky and the earth changed color, the sun and the moon became dark, and it was like a dark night for hundreds of miles in radius.
The Sirius warriors under the five major tribes were at a loss, and their military morale was already weakened. Facing the invincible Shenwu Army, they were all lying on the ground at this moment, keeping silent, as if they were afraid of being crushed to death.
"Mo Rigen!"
Lakshen, the 'Barbarian Bear' of the Yellow Mane Tribe, was looking at his good brother with a dismayed face, and said in a crying tone: "They are dead, Ereleheke, Daisendari, and Daiqin are all dead!"
"I know."
Mo Rigen's face was ashen, and his eyes had lost their former glory. The wisdom and strategy he was proud of were meaningless in the face of this earth-shaking power.
"Surrender."
The outcome of this war has been decided.
When Ye Qingzhou came with his sword, both Mo Rigen and Lak Shen had completely given up resistance. The two of them knelt at Ye Qingzhou's feet, bowing to the ground, and begged tremblingly: "The guilty minister Mo Rigen, please pray for mercy from the Lord." Mercy.”
"I gave you a chance."
Ye Qingzhou's cold and ruthless words made Mo Rigen and Lakshen tremble.
"I wonder what we can do to calm the anger in Sword Lord's heart?"
Mo Rigen's tone was humble, and he didn't even dare to refute.
Ye Qingzhou stood with his hands behind his hands, his expression indifferent: "The Heavenly Wolf clan raised troops to invade the country, and the crime will not be forgiven. However, we, the Central Plains, are the kingdom of heaven and a country of etiquette, so I can give you a chance to survive."
"Thank you Jianjun for showing mercy!"
Hearing that there was a chance of survival, Mo Rigen quickly agreed, fearing that Ye Qingzhou would change his mind.
"Five years."
Ye Qingzhou stretched out his finger and set out the conditions in an unquestionable tone: "The territory of the Tianlang clan will be merged into Youzhou, the five tribes will lose their royal titles, the organizational system will be abolished, and the entire clan will be demoted to slaves. However, as long as you perform well, you will be required to perform hard labor for five years. After that, you can regain your freedom, and those who perform well can also be naturalized.”
"We are willing to be slaves to atone for our sins!"
Mo Rigen was ecstatic and did not feel that Ye Qingzhou was bullying them at all. Instead, he felt that it was a great honor for the Sirius family to be able to serve as Ye Qingzhou's dog.
After all, the Tianlang clan was originally the dogs of the Donghu people. In the end, they were bullied until they couldn't stand it, so they fled to settle in the desolate and barren Mobei.
After the war between Daliang and Donghu began, the Tianlang clan relied on being dogs for Daliang to drive away the Donghu people, seize the fertile Monan grassland, and began to grow slowly.
How can a man who races a horse have any integrity?
What's wrong with being a dog to the strong?
In their opinion, being able to serve as a dog to a peerless strong man like Jianjun is a great thing.
Most people who want to be the Sword Master's dog don't have the means yet!
After Ye Qingzhou surrendered Morigen and Lakshen, he was originally worried about whether he would raise tigers, but then he saw the light beams of luck appearing on their heads again.
But this time, the light pillar was actually connected to Youzhou's destiny, and soon the two merged together, making it difficult to tell them apart for a while.
"..."
Obviously, both Morigen and Lakshen really want to become Central Plains people, and they even recognize the Central Plains culture more than many Central Plains people.
"Good guy, convert fanatic?"
In line with the guiding ideology of using it to death, Ye Qingzhou looked at the two of them with a smile: "Although you are guilty, but now Youzhou is full of waste and is waiting for prosperity. It is the time to employ people. I am willing to give you If you have an opportunity to make a meritorious deed, are you willing to join my sect and practice martial arts with me?”
Morigen and Lakshen were stunned. They even wondered if they were hearing hallucinations.
They were deeply moved by Ye Qingzhou's disregard for past grudges. They knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes and said, "We will never betray the sword master in this life. If we violate this oath, we will be punished by heaven and earth!"
"Okay, everyone, get up."
Ye Qingzhou helped the two of them up: "Now that you have joined my family, you will become one of your own from now on."
After the two stood up, the huge fortune that originally belonged to the Tianlang clan was immediately seized and refined by Ye Qingzhou, greatly strengthening the way of heart martial arts.
The sound of rushing water seemed to ring in my ears. The originally small mountain stream had now turned into a winding river, flowing endlessly and starting over and over again.
"It turns out that if I hadn't appeared, the Central Plains and Donghu would have declined in a hundred years, and the Tianlang clan would have taken advantage of the situation to rise up, first invade the east, then go south, and finally unify the Central Plains and conquer a vast territory."< br>
After Ye Qingzhou devoured the fate of the Tianlang clan, his divine eyes seemed to span the long river of time and saw scenes of the future.
But all of this has become a thing of the past. The future fortune of the Sirius clan has directly become the foundation for Ye Qingzhou's growth. The two of them, Mo Rigen and Lak Shen, can survive Ye Qingzhou's sky-cutting sword-drawing technique, all because of their luck. .
…………
Ten days later, as the Shenwu Army returned with a great victory, the entire Youzhou was boiling.
In order to satisfy Ye Qingzhou, Morigen and Lakshen not only returned the 100,000 people they had kidnapped, but also returned the looted property and compensated millions of cattle and sheep.
Even the White Mane Tribe and Black Mane Tribe who participated in the rebellion, from the nobles to the soldiers, were all driven to Youzhou to wait for Ye Qingzhou's fate.
With these free coolies, some large-scale infrastructure projects in Youzhou do not require additional corvee labor.
The burden of the people of Youzhou has been greatly reduced, and at the same time they can receive relief from Ye Qingzhou. Who wouldn't be happy about it?
Even after the news came back that five meteorites fell from the sky and destroyed the enemy's camp during the battle of the Heavenly Wolf Court, various rumors began to appear in the public, saying that Ye Qingzhou was destined to be able to calm down the troubled times. As a hero, you can do whatever you want with help from heaven.
The people of Youzhou, who have been harassed by barbarians from the north for many years, long for a powerful hero who can lead them to a better future.
The appearance of Ye Qingzhou perfectly fits their definition of a hero.
In fact, it is very simple to be a leader. As long as you can bring enough benefits and let the people below you have enough to eat, then everyone will be willing to follow you.
Now Ye Qingzhou has shown strong force, can hold the situation in check, and is willing to transfer part of the benefits to the people at the bottom. His foundation in Youzhou can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.
As for King Chong, who has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness... Sorry, who is King Chong?
The people in Youzhou said they didn't know him, and their feelings faded.
Jicheng, Prefecture Mufu.
King Chong was furious when he learned that it was difficult for him to leave the government office due to his decree. He slapped the case with his palms loudly: "It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable!"
He was initially jealous of the emperor, so he had to leave Youzhou and returned to the imperial center to take up a sinecure position, which he has been doing until now.
If it hadn't been for the rebellion of brothers Sun Jingwei and Sun Xiangwen, and seeing the situation in the north becoming irremediable, he might not have had the chance to come out again.
Originally, King Chong's plan was that after he came to Youzhou, he could first use appeasement measures to stabilize the foreigners of the Tianlang clan, and then mobilize local armed forces to reach an exchange of interests with the local wealthy families in Youzhou and kill them together. Rebels.
Although there are not many chips, it is not difficult for a seasoned bureaucrat like King Chong to operate.
But when he arrived in Youzhou, Sun Jingwei and Sun Xiangwen died before he could take action!
The local aristocratic families and wealthy families also ignored him, leaving King Chong at a loss for what to do.
He was born into a royal family and was born a nobleman. He was very smart since he was a child, had a photographic memory, and was very resourceful. Therefore, he was awarded a golden mace by the late emperor, which could knock down kings and treacherous ministers, thus making him famous all over the world.
But to put it bluntly, all his success was due to the national destiny and general trend of Daliang and the majesty of the imperial court.
When Daliang's national destiny began to decline, the general situation began to become critical, and even the majesty of the imperial court began to be undermined, his status as the Chongwang began to be difficult to use.
It's a pity that King Chong's long-standing thinking inertia prevented him from realizing this.
In other words, deep down in his heart, he was unwilling to accept the fact that his strength was exhausted.
"Alas~"
King Chong looked sad and angry: "Ye Qingzhou is so domineering and domineering, I'm afraid he has a disobedient heart. Before leaving the capital, His Majesty ordered me to guard the gate of Northern Xinjiang, but now that the situation is like this, I...what can I do about it!"
Tong Yangyi, the accompanying staff member, took the opportunity to suggest: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to solve the current predicament."
"Oh? Tell me quickly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Tong Yangyi said with confidence: "Ye Qingzhou led the army to the expedition this time, and with the help of heaven, he won a great victory. However, wealth and silk are very attractive to people. With millions of cattle and sheep in hand, how many people in the world can not be moved? According to the rules, Half of these trophies need to be handed over to the court. The prince can order Ye Qingzhou to hand over half of the cattle and sheep in the name of the State Mufu.”
"Will he agree?"
King Chong believed that this was indeed a good idea. With these hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, he had chips in his hands that could be used to exchange interests, and he also had room for political maneuvering.
Political power, to put it bluntly, is actually the power to share the cake.
As long as you have cake in your hand, people will naturally be willing to listen to you.
But the problem is that the current state pastoral government is purely empty-handed, who will implement it?
Tong Yangyi smiled calmly and read out four words: "Liaodong General."
"Eh!?"
After King Chong thought carefully for a moment, he began to praise the case: "This plan is very clever. The Prefectural Mufu Office only needs to be famous and profitable, so why worry about the several generals in Liaodong not being willing to contribute?"
…………
Northern Territory Protectorate.
The newly appointed governor and deputy governor of the imperial court have not yet arrived, but the operations here are in order.
Although Ye Qingzhou's official position is still just that of a low-ranking general and commander, he is the uncrowned king of the entire Protectorate, and any of his orders will be resolutely implemented.
This is normal, after all, physics is the greatest truth in the world.
When a person can easily crush your dog's head, you'd better listen to him.
"Qingzhou, something happened!"
Shen Peng ran up to Ye Qingzhou in a hurry, looking panicked: "Captain Cheng Jimao suddenly led his men to forcefully break into the pasture in the south of the city. They not only injured the guards of the pasture, but also took away the cattle and sheep inside."
"Why?"
Ye Qingzhou asked in a calm tone.
Shen Peng quickly replied: "He has a decree from the state and animal husbandry government in his hand."
"I mean, he injured my man, why is he still alive now?"
"Huh?"
Shen Peng was numb, but he still patiently explained: "Cheng Jimao is the eldest son of Cheng Tinghu, and Cheng Jia is one of the four major generals in Liaodong, with tens of thousands of troops and deep-rooted influence."
"So?"
Ye Qingzhou showed a confused expression again.
"Forget it, I will handle this matter personally and give you a warning. Don't bother me again if the same thing happens in the future."
After saying that, Ye Qingzhou got up and left the camp, galloped his horse, and led people to the pasture in the south of the city.
Sure enough, he saw the wounded defenders at the scene. These soldiers were ordinary border soldiers, not military soldiers, so they were no match for the Married Family Tabai Army. They were all driven aside with bruises and bruises on their faces.
Cheng Jimao, who was wearing Mingguang armor, was riding a divine horse, and he vigorously ordered people to take out the cattle and sheep from the pasture. His eyes were shining, and he had already begun to calculate how much these cattle and sheep were worth. .
"Please be quick with your hands and feet. Don't delay me from going to town to have a drink!"
"Captain, look, the man named Ye is here."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Jimao turned his horse's head and walked forward with a smile on his face. He clasped his fists with a hypocritical expression: "Ye Changshi, you're polite."
Ye Qingzhou rode his horse over, his eyes passed over the wounded soldiers on the border, and then fell on Cheng Jimao: "You can start saying your last words now."
Cheng Jimao's hair stood on end if there was actual murderous intention. Although he had heard about Ye Qingzhou's fierce record, he always thought it was just bragging.
After all, Liaodong generals brag every day, lie about their achievements, kill good people and take credit for their merits. Who doesn't brag about themselves as if they are gods descending to earth?
So it was up to him to save others. He also thought that Ye Qingzhou's achievements were just blown out, and he didn't take them seriously at all.
But he was a little panicked now. Just being stared at by Ye Qingzhou, he instinctively began to fear: "Ye Changshi, my father is Cheng Tinghu! Don't mess around! I am also following orders this time."
After finishing speaking, Ji Mao also wanted to take out the decree signed by King Chong himself, and wanted to talk to Ye Qingzhou about the truth in officialdom.
It's a pity that Ye Qingzhou only wants to talk physics to him.
"Have you finished your last words?"
Ye Qingzhou raised his hand and grabbed it, turning his spiritual energy into an invisible thread, grabbing Cheng Jimao in front of him from the air, and holding his head in his hand: "I haven't heard of Cheng Tinghu or Cheng Tinggou. However, if you dare to hurt me, you are asking for your own death.”
After saying this, he crushed his head and exploded it. This bloody and cruel scene dumbfounded all the soldiers brought by Cheng Jimao.
They are all veterans who have survived hundreds of battles. They have killed not one hundred but eighty people on the battlefield. But have they ever seen such an incredible killing method?
Just as they were stunned, dozens of riders came galloping towards them. It was Nie Shixiong who was rushing back from outside the city.
He glanced at Cheng Jimao's headless body on the ground and was shocked, but he quickly dismounted and knelt down on one knee: "Master."
"You came just in time."
Ye Qingzhou pointed at the married soldiers in front of him and ordered coldly: "Kill them all, and then destroy the married people. People always sneer at new things they have never seen before, and thus make all kinds of stupid choices, so the heart Wumen needs to show its strength, let’s start with getting married.”
Killing is more powerful than any words. Nie Shixiong understood that Ye Qingzhou wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and the family was the killed chicken.
"Disciple, take your orders."
Nie Shixiong sighed. Although the four great generals of Liaodong, Cheng, Li, Ma, and Nie, were not in the same spirit, they had fought side by side for many years, so they still had some friendship.
It's a pity that after getting married, Nie Shixiong was helpless because he was unconscious and hit Ye Qingzhou's gun. (End of chapter)
