Chapter 131 The Spirit Demon Pro-Army (II) Asks for a Monthly Pass!
wiped out the rebellion of the Great Yan Holy Master, but Song Zheng did not have any silver gains. That Dayan Saint Master was also a poor ghost, and he didn't carry any treasures with him, even if he was afraid that he would be shattered by Zhong Yundai's thunder.
He reported the case to the public, but of course there was no reaction from the emperor's side - it would be good if he didn't give an order to reprimand him for doing more "business" and copying a few of his houses.
Xiao Zhen was still on the battlefield in the north, and when he talked with spirit talismans, he praised Song Zheng very much, and finally said: "This official has prepared a reward for you, and the time should be delivered." β
Song Zheng asked, "What is it?"
"Hahaha. Xiao Zhenlang smiled: "Confidentiality, it's a surprise." β
Song Zheng had a little expectation in his heart, and it should be good to be called a surprise by Xiao Zhen.
Then, Xiao Zhen said again: "How about the materials you prepared the day before yesterday?"
"There is an official document from the imperial court, and the preparations from all over the country are very fast, and they have been sent to Huzhou City one after another, and there are still three achievements left. β
Xiao Zhen was worried: "This batch of materials is very important. The front line insisted on extremely hard, and the delivery of this batch of materials can always solve the urgent need, and there must be no mistakes.
You are personally escorted here, and the route must be kept strictly confidential.
Now in Hongwu, there are Hua Xu's spies everywhere, and they will definitely keep an eye on this batch of materials and try their best to intercept them on the road.
There are still some scum in the territory who have forgotten their ancestors like Gou Chen, and they are also looking forward to Hua Xu coming in so that they can sell their ancestors for glory. Among them, there are some great families and great sects, and you have to be careful of them. β
Song Zheng nodded: "Don't worry, your lord, it will be delivered safely and on time, and you will not disappoint the front-line soldiers." β
Xiao Zhen agreed, and ended the call in a hurry with some abruptness.
Putting away the jade talisman, Song Zheng's face became solemn. Xiao Zhen is right, the situation is grim.
The battle on the front line is stalemate, and the internal situation of Hongwu Tianchao is becoming more and more unstable, he has just read Long Yiwei's monthly report last month, and there are more than 700 cases of rebellion investigated and dealt with in various places!
Among them, there are many local clans like the Gou Chen clan, which is a very dangerous signal.
And the batch of materials that Xiao Zhen said also made him worried. The imperial court issued an official document to let the relatively wealthy five states of Jiangnan, as well as the five states of Lingnan far away from the battlefield, gather a batch of materials, yuanyu, strange medicines, treasure materials, war equipment, etc., with a total value of 3 billion yuan jade, to urgently support the front line.
This batch of materials, apportioned in the name of "war endowment", is not levied for a long time, and is clearly only for war. Although the ten states were full of complaints, because the average number was still within the bearable range, they endured it. Although the expropriation did not go very smoothly, it was a success.
However, among the three billion strategic materials, in addition to the two billion in the war, there is also one billion in the "Taihu Warehouse" in the south of the Yangtze River.
At that time, Taizu prepared to build four "martial warehouses" in Hongwu Tianxia, which stored a large number of strategic materials, including materials for cultivation and food necessary for ordinary people.
When it came to the Northern Expedition Emperor, three more were added, for a total of seven.
But as the emperor's generation became more mediocre and profligate from generation to generation, the major military warehouses were also emptied, coupled with the secret greed of local officials, only Taihu Cang still had some things in the seven major military warehouses, and this time they were all emptied.
It can be said that this batch of cultivation materials is the last family foundation of the entire Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty.
And Song Zheng understands very well that the five states in the south of the Yangtze River look better by themselves, and the Lingnan side will collect one billion on the surface, but he is afraid that the top and bottom will be greedy for at least two billion.
This time, the war has hollowed out Lingnan, if there is a problem in the transportation, this material is lost, and you want to collect it again, Lingnan, which has always been fierce and chaotic and bandits, will immediately have a civil uprising.
He had just finished talking to Xiao Zhen, and suddenly in the homophone bone note, there was a light flashing again, and he looked at the accident: "Mao Zhengdao?"
Mao Zhengdao's voice came from the homonym bone note, with infinite exhaustion and a bit of despair: "Brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on......"
Song Zheng was taken aback: "What's wrong with you? Are you injured?
Mao Zheng said: "I'm not injured. His voice was still tired: "You didn't come, I don't know how desperate it is on the battlefield." I've heard that you're going to escort a batch of supplies, and do you know that you're everyone's last hope. β
Song Zheng's whole body was shocked, Xiao Zhen said cautiously, but he didn't tell him so bluntly, I was afraid that he was worried that he was under too much pressure.
"What the hell is going on? Where are you now, Lord Xiao?" he asked eagerly.
Mao Zhengdao replied: "I'll let you take a look." β
The formation engraving line of the homophone bone note became brighter, and the consumption of the spirit element suddenly increased several times, and a picture was sent over. Mao Zhengdao was in the picture, leaning against the wall of a battle castle reinforced with a spirit array, the spirit array and the battle castle had been damaged by more than half, and the light of the formation flickered a few times, and a bright light would burst out from the broken place, and the consumption of Yuan Yu suddenly increased.
Not far from Mao Zhengdao, there were several other cultivators, and the captain complained loudly: "What about the formation master? I reported it for repair three days ago, why haven't I even seen a ghost shadow now?" The Yuanyu sent down can't hold out for a few days. β
His subordinates replied helplessly: "What if you come, they can't repair it without suitable treasures." β
Mao Zhengdao waved his hand at him weakly: "Hey, Brother Song, have you seen it." β
Song Zheng did see that his condition was very bad, not because he was injured, or because the spirit yuan was consumed too much, it wasn't. He was in a terrible state of mind, depressed and hopeless.
Mao Zhengdao raised the homophone bone note a little higher and pointed ahead: "You see, two hundred miles ahead is Wuhou Pass, I am now in the General Pass, I was withdrawn from there three days ago." Just now, Hua Xu's side launched another attack, those bright yellow light clouds, it was their raging level battle tool 'Changfeng Roar', Lord Xiao was in Wuhou Pass, and Fan Zhenguo was also there, but Hua Xu also had three Zhenguo powerhouses on his side, we don't know how long Wuhou Pass could last......"
Song Zheng saw that the bright yellow cloud of light gradually spread in the sky, and the number reached dozen! On the battlefield below, there was a huge light, hazy and colorful, and two hundred miles apart, he could still see that from time to time some brilliant light would suddenly burst out.
He also understood that Lord Xiao had just ended the call in a hurry because the battle had begun.
"We need powerful combat equipment, qualified magic weapons, effective miracle medicines, and solid miracle formations...... We need everything, but here, we don't have the fuck anything!"
"You saw that Wuhou was closed, and you also saw us, and there are only four hundred of the thousand brothers I brought out. More than half of them were wounded on the battlefield, but there wasn't enough elixir, and in the end I could only watch him die. β
"When we came up, everyone had some supplies with them and started thinking about what to expect, but three days after the battle started, we had to use our own supplies, because there was nothing here, and if we didn't do that, we would have died. β
But a month later, the supplies he had brought with him were also exhausted. Someone sent a message to the family, and sent some more overnight, but those who were in average conditions at home had no ability to send anything more, so I gave them some, but my ability was also limited, and I could only watch them die...... Alas!"
"Brother Song, everything here is very bad. Seventy percent of the supplies sent by the imperial court could not be used. A few days ago, Wuhou Guanli almost collapsed morale, causing a mutiny. It was Lord Xiao who stood up and assured everyone that you would send new supplies immediately, and this batch of supplies was different from what the imperial court gave, so as to ensure that everyone could persevere. β
"With Lord Xiao's reputation and your reputation guarantee, everyone will be quiet. To be honest, I understand them, everyone works so hard for the dynasty, but the court treats them like this, who doesn't feel cold?"
"Come on, it's too late, I'm afraid that Lord Xiao will really not be able to hold on. I asked him to come down with him, but he wouldn't ......."
Song Zheng glanced at the battlefield of Wuhou Pass heavily, and silently closed the homophone bone note.
This time, he has a heavy responsibility! He shouldered the hopes of all the officers and men on the entire front, including Xiao Zhen.
"Bring me the map. He commanded, and his soldiers came in and emptied the bookcase and laid out a huge map. Surveying and mapping by means of repair, extremely detailed.
Song Zheng looked at the map, from Huzhou City to Wuhou Pass, the battlefield in the north, about 18,000 miles, there are a total of four routes for the army to march, the best is of course the official road, starting from Huzhou, through Jingzhou, Hanzhou, Hezhou, Jizhou, the shortest path. The official route is through the major states and counties of the imperial court, and you can get the support of the imperial court officials and soldiers and local dragon guards at any time, and it is also the safest route.
In addition to this route, there are three more, either the road is not easy to walk, or it is too far away, or it passes through some unsafe areas, Song Zheng looked at it and felt that it was safer, so he chose the official route.
"If people have calculations, they can easily guess that I will choose this path, but this time, I will advance in a dignified manner, with the cultivation army of the human demon clan, plus the two peak ancestors, along the way, order the local dragon guards to respond to support, and the strength is strong, with the division of the middle, to destroy all kinds of conspiracies. β
After setting the policy, Song Zheng called people over and asked, "Have all the recruits arrived?"
......
In addition to the Taoyuan Secret Realm, the remaining four are all over the country. Five hundred monks have passed through the state and countyβeven if they are not monks, they will definitely be intercepted by the government.
Song Zheng sent his capable general banner, rushed to a secret realm with the official documents of Renren and Long Yiwei, picked up those repairers, and took them through the states to come as soon as possible.
This matter has already begun, and Li Sanyan has kept abreast of the movements of various cultivators at any time, reporting them one by one.
