Shennong Sequence

Chapter 239 You know too much! A Confucian scholar who gave up writing to join the army? Finally returned to Hongzhou City,

What's more, if Qu Feiyu had a background, would such a troublesome task of transporting goods fall on him?
Qu Feiyu continued:
“Therefore, even if Beiliang Bianzhou is willing to construct various formations, it can only wait patiently for the core components of each formation in the Divine Capital of the Divine Dynasty to be refined, perfectly integrated into the formation system of Beiliang Bianzhou, and enlighten the spirit of the formation.

In this way, we can truly activate and revitalize the earth veins and earth energy of the entire border continent, realize their recycling, and put the defense, supervision and development of the entire border continent on the right track..."

Suddenly, Zhao Yun became even more alert. He felt that Qu Feiyu, the commander, knew too much!

Zhao Yun didn't dare to make close friends with him before finding out his true background.

Then he said in surprise: "Commander Qu is really knowledgeable, Zhao deeply admires him!"

"Hahaha, I was a Confucianist in Inner Continent before, and read a wide range of ancient and modern history, astronomy, geography, and other miscellaneous notes, constantly enriching myself... But I didn't expect that I would eventually come to Beiliang Border Continent, so I had to change my path and learn the sequence of military strategists. So now I not only delve into military strategy, but also study the classic theories of various schools of thought day and night, and dare not slack off at all..."

Qu Feiyu understood the implication of Zhao Yun's words. A commander shouldn't know so many things.

This is too much talk, people are afraid of it...

So he smiled bitterly, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness on his face, and then revealed some of his own traceable experiences.

"In addition, after finishing my military duties every day until late at night, I would immerse myself in many classics, absorbing the wisdom of my predecessors, and trying to find my own direction in this complex world..."

In just a few words, Zhao Yun felt that the image of Commander Qu Feiyu in front of him had changed again, becoming a diligent and studious student.

This heart can't help but be filled with waves...

This person should have the great awakening mind of "I examine myself three times a day" and the potential to become a king of papers.

Such a person definitely has some ideals and ambitions.

Either success or disaster...

But Zhao Yun just wants to live a peaceful life.

So, let's just meet for now, slowly move away from each other, and be a target of secret vigilance!

In addition, in the military, the art of war is certainly important, but each school of thought also has its unique value.

The talents of different schools, such as the diplomats, the famous scholars, the Confucian counselors, the military equipment of the Mohist school, the military law, discipline and rules of the Legalists, the medical treatment and temporary improvement of the soldiers' combat effectiveness, the Taoist soldiers, etc., gathered in the army and made reasonable gains and checks and balances on the power of the military strategists from all aspects.

Among the many decentralized forces, the agricultural faction has the most obvious decentralization from the military faction.

However, the focus of the struggle for military power between farmers and military strategists was mainly on logistical support, while the actual combat soldiers were mostly controlled by military strategists, who maintained the core combat effectiveness of the army.

In logistical matters such as the preparation of food and fodder, and the allocation of materials, farmers demonstrated unique advantages, and temporarily formed a delicate balance with the military strategists.

Time flies and half a day passes in a flash.

During their long journey, Zhao Yun and Qu Feiyu passed through the two prefecture cities of Qingyang and Bailu.

The two cities have their own characteristics. The layout of Qingyang City has a kind of thick and honest feeling. Bailu City is like a bright pearl, built by the water, with sparkling lake water surrounding the whole city, like a silver ribbon...

However, after everyone unloaded a lot of weapons in Bailu City, the Dragon Fury warship completed the escort mission and continued to move towards Guihongzhou City.

In addition, when walking from Bailu Prefecture City, they happened to see a huge barbarian army rushing towards them like a surging tide in the distance with dust flying.

The scene was so magnificent and terrifying.

Moreover, various armies were arranged in neat rows, exuding a fierce aura...

Some war beasts were as huge as mountains. Every time they took a step, the earth trembled. Their roars were deafening, as if they were going to shatter the whole world. The hot air spewed out of their mouths was like a cloud of mist, and it seemed to burn the surrounding air...

Seeing this, everyone on the Dragon Fury battleship suddenly became nervous, but their mission this time was to escort the city defense vehicle, not to help Bailu Mansion fight.

Then he adjusted the sailing direction, made a big turn, and sped towards Guihongzhou City at full speed.

Finally, they successfully arrived at Guihongzhou City, the most important core city standing on the border of Beiliang.

Its city walls, covered with array patterns, tower into the clouds and are also covered with various defensive equipment and endless crossbows, showing its majesty and power to the world.

However, what surprised Zhao Yun was that he originally thought that the area around Guihongzhou City, which was closer to the barbarian entry point, would face heavy sieges and fierce attacks from the barbarian army, but the scene before him was completely different!

Instead of an organized barbarian army coming out in full force to launch an attack, the place seemed unusually calm. There were only a few nimble barbarian wolf riders stealthily conducting explorations in a distant place.

The rest of the barbarian troops seemed to have disappeared without a trace...

"General Zhao, do you have any doubts in your mind? Why is it that Guihongzhou City is located on the border, but there is no barbarian army coming to invade?" Ever since Qu Feiyu revealed some of his experiences to Zhao Yun, he has been speaking frankly.

Zhao Yun had many speculations about this question in his mind. For example, the barbarians did not have enough troops to launch a large-scale attack on Guihongzhou City; or they knew that Guihongzhou City had strong defenses, and a rash siege would only increase casualties and would not be worth the cost.

But Zhao Yun did not rush to express his thoughts. Instead, he nodded politely and motioned Qu Feiyu to continue, trying to hear deeper and more comprehensive insights from this knowledgeable commander.

"The barbarian king's court in Canglan Grassland is under the rule of the eight major Golden Horde forces. The forces that entered the pass this time were only the vanguard troops sent by two of the Golden Horde's regions. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the barbarian army.

Therefore, their military strength is limited, and they are unable to shake the foundation of the entire Beiliang Border Continent for the time being. They can only carry out some small-scale harassment and plunder in the border areas in an attempt to test our strength. "

Qu Feiyu looked solemn and spoke in a low voice, with a hint of worry and urgency in his eyes, as if he could sense the impending, even greater threat of war.

"In addition, according to the investigation of spies, the remaining six golden tents deep in the Canglan grassland and the main army of the royal court have already assembled, like a volcano about to erupt, ready to go, and slowly approaching this side..."

"It can be said that the prelude to the entire war has just begun, and the real storm is still to come..."

There was a lot of worry and urgency in Qu Feiyu's eyes.

It can also be predicted that the upcoming war will be extremely cruel, and every detail may determine the overall pattern of the war.

"This escort of military supplies is of great significance. It is not only to enhance the defense capabilities of the various prefectures and counties under Zhoucheng, but also to gain more time and resources for a longer-term strategic layout."

"In addition, General Zhao, you have arrived in Zhoucheng, and after taking up the position of the Supervisor of Agriculture, I am afraid you will take on more production tasks to provide sufficient material support for those of us on the front line. But you are airborne, and there will be people who are not angry. You need to pay attention to the things around you and don't let others trip you up, which will affect the production of materials, and then you will face severe punishment during the war..." "Thank you, Commander Qu, for waking up!"

Zhao Yun nodded.

Besides, the barbarian army has arrived, and various siege situations will not be uncommon.

Once the city is besieged, the flow of resources is blocked, and once all the supplies are consumed, it will be the time to break the city...

But in this situation, the importance of farmers is revealed.

Therefore, farmers mainly rely on farming as their main occupation.

As long as there is land, mass production of basic materials is not difficult.

Take the most common rice, wheat and beans for example. If they are planted in spiritual fields, their growth rate can be accelerated by dozens of times.

By using the magic of the farmers and factions, such as the harvest magic, prosperity magic, root strengthening magic, etc., and combining it with the nourishment of growth materials from the geographical faction, and the help of the time faction in environmental temperature control, the growth rate can be even higher!

Therefore, as long as the land can be freed up in the besieged city, and the Minister of Agriculture of the Ministry of Agriculture uses some magic, the food can be enough to meet the daily needs of the people in the city!

During the siege, being able to eat enough was enough to boost morale...

As for the rest of the difficulties, just overcome them.

However, the cultivation of spiritual creatures is not that simple.

Spiritual objects are the essence of heaven and earth. Their birth is the essential color of the convergence of the rhyme of heaven and earth and the inspiration of nature.

Therefore, even the growth of the weakest spiritual creature requires a long time to accumulate the Dao of heaven and earth and the inspiration of nature.

Therefore, if you want spiritual objects to grow quickly, just like the one thousand acres of spiritual fields planted by Zhao Yun in the Yangui Spiritual Mountain, with the support of spiritual veins, you can ensure that after the essence of heaven and earth in the spiritual fields is absorbed, the grade of the spiritual fields will not decline, but can continue to nurture spiritual plants until they mature...

Afterwards, after Zhao Yun verified the Dragon Fury warship, he drove straight into Guihongzhou City from the towering city wall of Guihongzhou City.

After entering the city, the warship followed a fixed route and sped towards the military camp in the north city.

After getting off the warship, Qu Feiyu solemnly sent Zhao Yun to the gate of the barracks.

"General Zhao, I can only take you here. I still have military duties to attend to. I must submit my mission and report the information that Bailu City is besieged by the barbarian army...

In addition, there is a very important rule in Guihongzhou City. As long as the flying height does not exceed the roofs on both sides of the street, there will be no problem. But if you fly higher, you will be shot down directly by the guards of each town. At that time, it will be troublesome, and I hope you must abide by this. The rest of the rules are roughly the same as other cities. "

"Okay, thank you Commander Qu for letting me know."

After Zhao Yun left Beidaying, he immediately sent messages to Master Sun and Minister Jing, informing them that he had arrived in the city safely.

Afterwards, he asked Master Sun to find a landmark for the two to meet first, and then go to the Sinongjian together to take a walk around and see how they would take up their posts, including the content and direction of their future work, etc. These all needed to be discussed and planned in advance.

Soon, Jing Da Si Nong replied.

Jing Da Si Nong asked Zhao Yun to go to Si Nong Jian in the evening to have dinner and discuss future arrangements.

At the same time, Sun Zhengxuan also contacted Zhao Yun and told him to meet at the landmark building 'Dingshilou' in 'Daowufang' in the west city.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun found a secluded corner and released Xin Ruyin from the divine spiritual realm.

It is always more fun to go shopping with someone than to go shopping alone.

When we were not far from the Peking University barracks, there were few people on the road and it was quiet all around.

Occasionally, there would even be a few patrolling soldiers walking by, and the sound of their footsteps echoing in the quiet streets, adding a solemn atmosphere.

Obviously, this is a strict arrangement to prevent unauthorized personnel from approaching the barracks.

When we walked a distance out of the Peking University barracks and entered the real main street, the scene before our eyes changed drastically in an instant.

In this sealed-off city, people are coming and going, shoulder to shoulder.

There are many people setting up stalls on the street, selling a wide variety of goods, and the sounds of hawking are heard one after another, making the scene very lively.

However, Zhao Yun could tell from the items they were selling that these people were all engaged in small businesses. Although they were not rich, they still had a smile on their faces, and greeted passers-by enthusiastically, introducing their products.

Every stall here is like a small world, full of the breath of life.

In addition, Zhao Yun kept his ears perked up as he walked along the road. From some information, he analyzed that many people were recently extradited from the surrounding areas to Zhoucheng.

The government provided some help in housing and food supply, but it was not unlimited.

In order to meet their daily needs, these people still have to rely on their own efforts.

It is also because of this that there is such a bustling scene of street stalls.

This lively scene also gave the city, which was on the verge of war, a different kind of prosperity.

It is also a symbol of ordinary people trying to live their lives in their own way in this seemingly calm but fraught moment.

In addition, as Zhao Yun walked along, he discovered that among the people he was walking through, ordinary people accounted for a very high proportion. Most of the items sold in the shops were related to people's livelihood, but items and matters related to practitioners were rare.

It was not until we crossed another neighborhood that we discovered that the practitioners' items and transactions were often concentrated in specific Taoist temples.

For example, the "Daowufang" that Master Sun invited him to go to was a marketplace for practitioners where they gathered, traded, lived, ate, drank, and entertained themselves.

Such isolation and division means that there are very few practitioners living in ordinary residential areas, creating an invisible barrier between the two different worlds, separating the two in advance to avoid accidents.
