Loan Wusheng

Chapter 174 Dual Spirituality, Dugu Wish

Dust was flying and horses were galloping.

Dozens of miles away from the battlefield, Dugu Jing rode his horse in the distance, with only thirty or fifty riders around him. He looked at the scouts running back and asked calmly, "What's the situation?"

The scout seemed to have seen something big, and he immediately dismounted and said to Dugu Jing with a sonorous bow, "General, about an incense stick ago, a strong demonic aura erupted in General Ba's army. Not long after, a fox demon spirit was taken away in the air. The army was in chaos. The scout looked from afar and saw that the mountains and plains were full of fleeing soldiers, and many soldiers had already knelt and surrendered."

Hearing this, Dugu Jing's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "This Black Mountain Zao Li kid is quite capable. He dared to lead the cavalry deep into our Jingyuan County, defeated the 10,000-man vanguard in one fell swoop, and killed Ba Tao and Hu Huaiping. The two couldn't even escape."

Dugu Jing is also a veteran Tongqiao martial artist.

Although he has entered the Tongqiao realm for a long time, he is now only at the second level of Tongqiao.

As for the Tongqiao warriors of the same generation as him, such as Yan Yan, they had already reached the fourth or even fifth Tongqiao realm long ago, but he was still in the second Tongqiao realm.

The reason why this happens is very simple.

His origin is not very glorious, he is a northern Rong person.

Lanzhou is the place where the Dongyi, Xidi, Beirong and other Hu people were settled. Therefore, it is very normal for some warriors with unique surnames of Beirong people to appear in Lanzhou, and Dugu Jing is one of the best among them.

Because of their shorter surnames, Hu surnames such as Yuwen and Dugu have gradually begun to be integrated into the Great Zhou Dynasty. Many surnames can even no longer be distinguished as to whether they are major surnames in the Central Plains.

In addition, after the Hu people entered the Central Plains, those whose surnames did not conform to the standards often changed their surnames. For example, the former King Tingzhu of the Northern Rong originally had the surname Tuoba, but after entering the Central Plains, he changed his surname to "Yuan".

For example, people with the Hu surname such as He Liuhun, Qiu Muling, and Bu Liugu also changed their surnames to traditional Central Plains surnames such as Yu and Lu.

However, it is useless to change the surname. Origin has determined everything. Even if the surname is changed to Li, the identity of the Hu people cannot be changed. The only way is to wait for three or four generations and completely integrate into the life in the Central Plains.

This is the situation with Dugu Jing.

He is a second-generation Northern Rong person, and his father is a surrendered general of the Northern Rong who could not escape. Although he has broken through to the Tongqiao realm, he is of Hu origin after all. If he goes one step further, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Great Zhou court. Therefore, he deliberately gave up on himself and only advanced one level in decades.

In addition, Dugu Jing also read the "books of sages", took the great scholar Xu Feng as his teacher, studied hard, and finally got the position of governor of Jingyuan County.

In this way, his next generation will be able to become thorough "Zhou people".

Dugu Jing had originally had this idea, but since the death of Emperor Shenwu, the world has been in turmoil, and he began to have a strange idea in his heart.

Troubled times are about to begin.

The capable ones go up, the mediocre ones go down!

perhaps……

This is a great opportunity to get rid of the label of "barbarian"!

Lanzhou is under the jurisdiction of King Qin. Dugu Jing feels that by following His Royal Highness King Qin to build a career and relying on his own talent, there may be a chance for him to break through to the Yuandan Martial Saint.

After all, he has great talent.

If I hadn't suppressed myself so hard over the years, I would have been able to reach the fifth level of Tongqiao long ago.

His surrender was very effective. As soon as he surrendered, he was appointed by the King of Qin as the chief commander of the Lanzhou military road, a prominent position.

Just as his ambitions were aroused, he met the legendary young genius.

He had seen Nabatao.

Although he has high aspirations, he does have some abilities. He is Chu Xinghe's direct disciple. He has reached the level of Tongqiao at the age of 30. He possesses magical powers that he has mastered and is quite powerful.

As for the fox demon Hu Huaiping, although his attacks were ordinary, he was proficient in illusion. Ordinary martial artists could not even see through the power of his illusion and were often bewitched by the fox demon and lost their minds, and then were eaten by the fox demon without leaving anything behind.

Such a genius and demon with extraordinary powers, together with ten thousand soldiers, could not last more than an hour at the hands of Zheng Jun!
This made Dugu Jingxin feel very disappointed.

At this moment, a young man from the outer Gang beside Dugu Jing was quite excited. He immediately said to Dugu Jing: "Uncle, the enemy is going to withdraw... The scouts initially estimated that the enemy has about 4,000 prisoners, but there are only 2,000 cavalry to transport them. As long as we attack them halfway, with internal and external cooperation, we may be able to keep Zheng Jun here!"

This young man has an extremely handsome appearance, and his clothes are of unique colors. Although he looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, his cultivation has already reached the third level of outer Gang, and his youthful vigor and vitality cannot be concealed at all.

This young man is Dugu Jing’s nephew, Dugu Yuan, the talented child of the Dugu family.

"Qi Mi Tou, confused!"

After hearing Dugu Yuan's words, Dugu Jing's face darkened. He spoke to Dugu Yuan in Beirong dialect, "Zheng Jun is coming with great force. He can sweep Jingyuan County with only 2,000 cavalrymen. I only have 8,000 men under my command, and the remaining 10,000 are all from the Central Plains. How can I compete with Zheng Jun?"

"Qi Mi Tou" is Dugu Yuan's nickname in Beirong.

After hearing what his uncle said, Dugu Yuan was obviously reluctant and unconvinced.

After all, all young men are like this, and Dugu Yuan is now full of vigor and vitality, and is spiritually enlightened. It is extraordinary that he has mastered supernatural powers at such a young age.

In fact, Dugu Yuan's spiritual awakening occurred more than once. Dugu Yuan was a genius and had two spiritual awakenings, which was extremely rare.

This is also the reason why he was able to cultivate to the third level of outer Gang at a young age.

His cultivation speed is only slightly slower than Zheng Jun's.

"Uncle, Zheng Jun has led his army on a long expedition, launched surprise attacks thousands of miles away, and fought in the north and south. He is extremely weak at this moment. This is the time for our army to succeed."

Duguyuan said: "Fang Yan of the Fang family is now stationed in Ningyuan County. He is a martial artist at the third level of Tongqiao. Although the Zheng army is cavalry, they have more than 4,000 prisoners and march slowly. Our army does not need to attack with all our strength. We only need to harass and delay the marching speed of the Zheng army along the way. When Fang Yan's troops arrive, we can attack from both sides and destroy Zheng Jun's 2,000 cavalry."

After hearing Dugu Yuan's words, Dugu Jing looked at his nephew in surprise, as if he was very surprised by his nephew's idea. However, he just chuckled, spurred his horse, and headed towards Jingyuan City. At the same time, he said in Beirong language: "Qi Mi, you have a good understanding of military affairs. This way can indeed consume Zheng Jun's troops and make him exhausted."

Hearing this, Dugu Yuan was about to say something, but he saw Dugu Jing continue to say: "But war is not as simple as marching and fighting. There are many things to consider."

"There are only 8,000 men in our Dugu family in Jingyuan City now. Although the remaining 10,000 are supported and favored by our family, they are born in the Central Plains after all and cannot be trusted." Dugu Jing said, "If the 8,000 men of our family fight with Zheng Jun here and are exhausted... our Dugu family will have no use at all."

If we do as Dugu Yuan said, we can indeed delay Zheng Jun and have a bloody battle with him.

Even if there is no way to kill Zheng Jun here, at least most of the elite cavalry he has assembled can be destroyed.

But what’s the point of doing this?

The King of Qin would not think that they had accomplished any extraordinary feat. On the contrary, by doing so, they were merely exchanging their own capital for Zheng Jun's capital, which would only make them weaker, not stronger.

After hearing what Dugu Jing said, Dugu Yuan nodded slightly, as if he understood everything.

Duguyuan said: "Uncle, if we do nothing, we won't be able to deliver on our mission to the King of Qin."

"So what if we can't deliver the mission? Jingyuan County is in our hands, and the King of Qin is far away in Guanzhong. How can he control us?"

Dugu Jing sneered and continued, "If things don't go my way, the worst that can happen is that I will surrender to Zheng. It seems that there is no general under Zheng Jun's command. If I surrender Jingyuan County to Zheng, the treatment will naturally be very good. Although the financial resources are far less than what Fang and King Qin have obtained, the status will be more important."

"But now, the King of Qin is more perfect. He sent some scouts and spies to harass Zheng Jun to prove that we have done our best."

Duguyuan suddenly realized what was going on, and followed his uncle's horse, heading towards Jingyuan City as well, and asked, "Uncle, what do you think of Zheng Jun?"

"Zheng Jun? This boy is extremely talented and has powerful means. People all think that he is just a dog raised by the Cai family, like Ba Tao. However, my Jingyuan County is adjacent to Bozhou, and the people of Bozhou often travel through Jingyuan. I know that this man has great ambitions and is definitely not a dog guarding the Cai family!"

"This man possesses both civil and military skills, and has the hidden ambition to swallow up the world! Now the world is full of heroes fighting each other. From my point of view, although the descendants of the Shenwu Emperor have high cultivation and have entered the Yuandan realm, I have a vague feeling that these kings who jump back and forth will not be able to accomplish anything great."

"And heroes from the grassroots of the world have risen up, such as Zheng Jun of Bozhou, Zhang Chou of Qingzhou, and Zhang Bengong who fled to Yizhou... More and more heroes have emerged. If the princes of the Shenwu Emperor can't decide the winner, I think the Great Zhou will have to change its flag."

"If Zheng Jun had not died halfway through, if the turmoil in the world intensified in the future, he might have been able to establish his own territory and become the first emperor of the dynasty!"

Dugu Jing had high praise for Zheng Jun.

After hearing Dugu Jing's description of Zheng Jun, Dugu Yuan's eyes flashed with a thoughtful light. Then, Dugu Yuan suddenly tightened the reins, reined in the horse in time, and said loudly: "Uncle, as you said before, eggs should not be put in one basket. For the long-term survival of the Dugu family, I am willing to lead 50 Xianbei warriors to serve Zheng Sanlang. If the King of Qin wins, I will serve you; if Zheng Sanlang wins, I can also play a role in seeking a new path for the Dugu family."

After hearing Dugu Yuan's words, Dugu Jing was both surprised and relieved.

"Okay! But fifty cavalrymen are not enough. You go first. After I return to the city, I will assign two thousand warriors to you and you will serve under Zheng Jun!"

……

Jingyuan County, on the official road.

dusty.

The cavalry marched endlessly on the official road. The dusty Ningyuan County soldiers threw away their armor and helmets, with lifeless eyes. They followed the cavalry group numbly like zombies, looking quite tired.

Zheng Jun was riding on a handsome white horse. The owner of the white horse was none other than Ba Tao, the son-in-law of Fang family of Lanzhou, who had been killed by Zheng Jun and was at the initial stage of Tongqiao.

The green-maned horse that had a bit of demon blood and accompanied Zheng Jun for many days had died on the battlefield.

There is no way, although for Zheng Jun, the intensity of this battlefield is not high enough.

But it was still too high for the blue-maned horse.

It is normal for accidents to happen amidst the chaos of the army.

Now, the most important problem for Zheng Jun was not the problem of his own horses, but that there were too many prisoners, which seriously delayed the marching speed.

After all, he was still in enemy territory. If he was not careful, he would be attacked from both sides and lose everything.

Although he would not die on the spot, the two thousand cavalrymen he brought with him were probably doomed.

Zheng Jun looked a little worried for a moment.

"General."

At this moment, a personal guard beside Zheng Jun hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to step forward, bowed to Zheng Jun and said: "In my opinion, our army has penetrated deep into the enemy's belly, and carrying these prisoners will delay the march too much. Speed is the most important thing in war. I think it would be better to kill all these 4,000 people, and then build a Jingguan to deter those who come later!"

"When Emperor Gaozu of Wei unified the country, he also committed many murders. If you want to be a great leader, you can't be so obsessed with such trivial matters!"

Zheng Jun was a little surprised when he heard this. He turned around and found that the person who spoke was Muhanur, the Beirong slave he had asked for from the Cai family before.

Muhanur is now in high spirits, and it seems that he has not been so happy for a long time.

Ever since he was asked to leave by Zheng Jun, Muhanur has served in Zheng Jun's personal guard camp. He has made many military achievements during border frictions and even broke through to the first level of the outer Gang realm, becoming a general in the army. Now he follows the army to the battlefield and naturally follows Zheng Jun. He also killed an outer Gang enemy general.

"Killing prisoners is unlucky."

Zheng Jun spoke calmly, rejecting Muhanur's proposal.

It is impossible to kill prisoners without any bad luck.

Zheng Jun had previously considered the idea of executing all the captives.

But after thinking for a moment, I gave up.

After all, if we could bring back these 4,000 Lanzhou soldiers who surrendered voluntarily, it would send a huge signal.

That is, if you can't defeat Zheng Jun, you can surrender.

You will never die if you surrender.

In addition, his reputation in Lanzhou has already risen sharply because of the eradication of the Lanzhou Yuanlong Sect. If handled properly, the offensive against Lanzhou should become easier.

After all, I have to be careful and cautious about Lanzhou.

The Fang clan's first wave of vanguard troops consisted of 200,000 soldiers.

At least 300,000 more people can be recruited later.

Although they are not very strong, they are just new recruits.

But if a lot of sand accumulates into a tower, this army of three or five hundred thousand people can naturally be a headache.

After hearing Zheng Jun's words that "killing prisoners is unlucky", Muhanur couldn't help but feel very disappointed, and his admiration for Zheng Jun had already faded a little.

In Muhanur's opinion, the real heroes are those who are decisive in killing. Why keep prisoners like this who are a hindrance? Just kill them!
However, although he was a little disappointed with Zheng Jun, Muhanur had nowhere better to go at the moment. He could only bow to Zheng Jun and then retreat without saying a word. He continued to follow Zheng Jun closely, just like those ordinary guards.

The army was marching, but suddenly, Zheng Jun felt a sense of arrogance.

"Ok?"

Feeling this breath, Zheng Jun was stunned.

But soon, it calmed down.

It's a very strong aura, but the level of the aura is just that of external energy.

Not much strength.

But this breath is indeed somewhat unique, a bit like...

Wei Quan.

But it is equivalent to an enhanced version of Wei Quan.

I just don't know what this guy is doing in front.

Shaking his head, Zheng Jun continued to move forward.

Not long after, a scout came hurriedly to report, saying to Zheng Jun: "General, there is a young general ahead, who calls himself Dugu Yuan, and is a third-level Outer Gang cultivator. He has challenged the enemy in front of the formation and has defeated Generals Xu, Wang, Zhao, Zhuo, and Zhou in succession. He is currently fighting General Wei!"

"However, General Xu asked me to report that this person has no hostility and seems to want to serve the general. He just wants to use this skill to make a name for himself."

General Xu naturally refers to Xu Tianfang, the commander of the Cangdao Army.

This was the first external martial artist to follow him.

After hearing what the scout said, Zheng Jun became interested and immediately rode his horse forward towards the place where the battle was taking place.

Soon, I saw a brilliant sight ahead.

Suddenly, I saw two young players fighting each other.

Wei Quan is very familiar, so let’s not talk about him for now.

The young general opposite, wearing a brocade robe and armor, holding a fine iron spear, stood up with such imposing manner that he looked like a young hero.

Zheng Jun was a little surprised when he saw this, and at this moment, a line of small gold-plated characters appeared in front of him.

Bi-spirituality?!
