Chapter 175 Zheng Jun is too powerful, breaking with !
"General Wei, teach this guy a lesson!"

"What a dangerous attack!"

"Hiss~ This kid is really capable! After defeating Generals Xu, Wang, Zhao, Zhuo, and Zhou in succession, he was even able to fight General Wei on equal terms!"

"..."

The surrounding cavalrymen gathered around to watch and cheer, while the five defeated generals Xu Tianfang, Wang Tang, Zhao Zhe, Zhuo Xin and Zhou Yin looked a little unnatural, but they hid it well.

After all, no one would feel good if they were used as a stepping stone by younger people.

Fortunately, not only they themselves were used as stepping stones, but other comrades around them also served as stepping stones. They felt much better when they thought about it.

The more than 2,000 cavalrymen this time are all the elite troops in Zheng Jun’s army. Except for a few outer-level warriors, basically all of them are under Zheng Jun’s sight.

At the side, seeing Zheng Jun, the military supervisor Feng He was relieved. He immediately stepped forward and bowed to Zheng Jun, saying, "Congratulations, General. Congratulations, General. You have found another good general today!"

Although Feng He came from an ordinary family, he had a keen eye.

Of course he knew that this young general named Dugu Yuan came to join Zheng Jun and was not someone who came to challenge him.

This boy is so young and so brave.

This is enough to show that he has unlimited potential. If he can be recruited, he will be a rare talent.

Zheng Jun nodded slightly when he heard this. While looking at the situation on the field, he asked Feng He, "Dugu Yuan... Where does this boy come from? Is he related to Dugu Jing from Jingyuan City?"

"General, this boy is the leader of the third generation of the Dugu family. He is handsome, good at riding and shooting, has a magnanimous demeanor, and has extraordinary strategies."

Feng He said: "The Dugu clan originated from the Xianbei tribe of the Northern Rong. After the defeat of the Tuoba clan, the Dugu clan, Yuwen clan, and Duan clan took power. Ninety years ago, a riot broke out in the Xianbei tribe, and a branch of the Dugu clan fled and was settled in Lanzhou by the Emperor Shenwu. Since then, the Dugu clan has taken root here. Dugu Jing is a member of the second generation of the Dugu clan, and Dugu Yuan is the leader of the third generation of the Dugu clan. At the age of seventeen, he is already a third-level warrior of the outer Gang."

"At the age of seventeen, he is at the third level of outer power. He is actually more powerful than I was back then."

Hearing this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but smile and said, "I just started to refine blood when I was seventeen. Dugu Yuan was already at the third level of outer power at the age of seventeen. This boy is indeed a genius of his generation."

Feng He saw this and immediately stepped forward to flatter Zheng Jun, "General, you were born in poverty and only started to learn martial arts at the age of sixteen. Now, you are only twenty years old and you are already a martial artist. Although Dugu Yuan is extremely strong, he also started to learn martial arts at the age of ten. He had the support of the Dugu family's wealth. However, he only learned the outer strength after seven years. How can he compare with the general?"

When Zheng Jun heard Feng He say this, he nodded slightly.

Without saying anything more, he continued to watch the battle.

In terms of situation, the battle has reached its focus.

The spear in Dugu Yuan's hand was as long as a dragon, and the tip of the spear, carrying a fierce gust of wind, pierced Wei Quan's throat.

Wei Quan blocked with his sword, and the collision between the blade and the spear produced dazzling sparks, and the internal energy around his body was actually shaken to form ripples.

At the moment when the two forces collided with each other, Dugu Yuan's mouth suddenly curled up into a smile of "You've been fooled".

The tip of his spear trembled slightly, like stroking the strings of a musical instrument. The Star-falling Spear Intent, which should have been extremely powerful, suddenly turned into a soft silk thread around his fingers and circled towards Wei Quan's long sword.

Wei Quan only felt that the blade seemed to be slashing into a deep pool, and all the force was actually being dissolved layer by layer by some mysterious rhythm.

"Yin and Yang complement each other, hardness and softness coexist..."

Seeing this, Zheng Jun leaned forward unconsciously, and couldn't help but become slightly solemn.

This magical power is quite interesting.

Dugu Yuan's spearmanship actually contains both the ferocity of the Frost Wolf and the longevity of a certain water attribute. The two completely different fighting methods blend perfectly in his body!
The spiritual beings obtained by Dugu Yuan were obviously from a powerful man on the grassland, and another from a master in the Middle Earth, and also a Taoist master who advocated "the highest good is like water".

At this moment, Dugu Yuan's spear suddenly bent into a full moon. Dugu Yuan took advantage of the momentum to soar into the air. The shadow of the Frost Wolf and the misty water vapor intertwined into a Tai Chi pattern behind him. The tip of the spear pointed directly at Wei Quan's brow with a mysterious trajectory!

However, at this critical moment, the last inch of the spear technique was suddenly retracted, and the surging energy shattered Wei Quan's helmet, and his black hair scattered like a waterfall.

"Concession."

Duguyuan put away his gun and saluted, but his eyes were filled with respect. He said politely, "If General Wei hadn't deliberately given way, I would not have been able to last more than thirty rounds."

Wei Quan's face was a little more depressed, but he still put away the blade, bowed to Dugu Yuan and said: "Today's defeat is not a concession, Wei accepts defeat."

After hearing Wei Quan's words, Dugu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Zheng Jun who was riding a white horse not far away. He immediately put away his gun and stepped forward. He bowed to Zheng Jun respectfully and said, "I am Dugu Yuan of Lanzhou. I pay my respects to General Zheng! I have heard of General Zheng's reputation for a long time. I left home today to join him. I want to follow General Zheng to build a career and leave my name in history! If the general does not abandon me, Dugu Yuan is willing to be the vanguard and defeat the enemy for the general!"

Hearing this, Zheng Jun could not help but nod slightly, dismounted, and quickly walked to Dugu Yuan, saying to him sincerely: "General Dugu has abandoned the dark and joined the light, which is truly a model for the country! I am like a fish in water with General Dugu!"

Feng He, who witnessed this scene, did not hesitate and immediately said to Fu Li, Xu Tianfang, Wang Tang and other generals beside him: "In the past, the ancient Xia emperor got a good general to surrender and spit out food several times during a meal. He stood up to welcome the wise man and thus got the world's wise men! Now General Zheng dismounted to welcome Dugu, which shows the example of a wise ruler. Hegemony can be expected!"

Just lick it and it's over.

Feng He found his own way.

He is not good at either civil or military strategy. If he cannot make progress, he will die at the third level of outer Gang.

Therefore, if Feng He wanted to make progress, he could only use some crooked ideas.

For example, he is very good at flattering others.

If you can become a close minister to the general, you will at least have a chance of being enlightened in the future.

Thinking of this, Feng He's smile became even brighter, as if it was not him who had advocated the killing of Zheng Jun in the governor's mansion of Bozhou before he came to be the military supervisor.

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Dugu Yuan, though young, knew that it was just a polite remark, and immediately showed a determined look. At the same time, he looked at Zheng Jun with an unstoppable desire to fight, and said eagerly: "My lord! Dugu dares to compete with you and realize the limits of martial arts!"

After saying this, Dugu Yuan seemed to be worried that Zheng Jun might have misunderstood him, and then added: "In the past in Jingyuan City, I often competed with my uncle to hone my martial arts. I have heard for a long time that the master is very powerful and is indeed the best martial artist in the northern border. Therefore, I am bold enough to ask the master for guidance."

Dugu Yuan's words were very sincere, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

Seeing this, the defeated Wei Quan glared with anger, stood up and shouted angrily: "Dugu Yuan, the reason you lost today is that you didn't have enough time to practice martial arts! If I break through the third level of outer power, the outcome will be uncertain! Don't be so arrogant here today. If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end!"

The same was true for several generals on the side. Even Muhanur, who felt that Zheng Jun was not a wise leader, also looked furious.

Fu Li, who was standing behind Zheng Jun, immediately stood up and shouted, "General, this boy is too arrogant. Please let me teach him a lesson!"

"Gentlemen."

Zheng Jun slowly raised his hand, stopped the indignant voices around him, then looked at the arrogant Dugu Yuan and said, "In that case, I will test General Dugu's martial arts."

To tame a wild horse, you can't just rely on the trough.

To win over a good general, you can't just rely on words.

This is especially true for a gifted person like Dugu Yuan.

Geniuses are always arrogant. Now that he has seen this even more talented "prodigy", he naturally feels competitive and wants to try his own methods.

In this case, I naturally have to fulfill his insignificant wish.

Let him know how strong he is.

"Thank you, my lord."

Dugu Yuan did not take his comrades' words to heart. After seeing Zheng Jun's agreement, he immediately became eager to try.

Dugu Yuan held his spear horizontally and clasped his fists. The energy around him surged like the growl of a frost wolf, and the tip of the spear caused ripples on the green water.

He stepped on the Frost Wolf steps, his body moved left and right, and the long spear wrapped in the dual energy of ice and fire pierced Zheng Jun's throat. This spear secretly conformed to the principle of yin and yang. At the moment when the Frost Wolf phantom roared and bit, the spear force suddenly turned into soft silk wrapped around the fingers, and actually stimulated pieces of ice crystals on Zheng Jun's body protective energy!
"My lord, be careful!"

Dugu Yuan roared, and his two magical powers burst out at the same time. His spear skills reflected the shadow of a prairie wolf pouncing on his target, and behind this prairie wolf was the momentum of an upside-down river rushing forward!

The spear barrel suddenly bent like a full moon, and the shadow of the Frost Wolf and the water mist energy intertwined to form a Tai Chi diagram. The tip of the spear pierced towards Zheng Jun's Tianmu golden pattern with a mysterious trajectory!

"Om-!"

Zheng Jun was dressed in a blue shirt, without moving an inch, but a blood-red golden pattern suddenly appeared between his eyebrows, like the rising sun.

Dugu Yuan was horrified to find that the spear in his hand was suspended in mid-air, and the spear body was shaking and making a mournful sound.

And then, the golden light from Tianmu rolled back like a river in the sky, and the magical powers he was proud of melted like snow in the golden light, and the thirty-six back-up plans hidden in the spear's intent were exposed!

Zheng Jun stretched out his hand, flicked the tip of the gun with his fingers, and the Lushui sword intent spiraled up along the gun shaft.

Dugu Yuan's palm cracked and he watched helplessly as the fine iron spear cracked inch by inch and turned into silver flakes all over the sky.

The broken spear was nothing, but what made him more horrified was the gaze in the golden pattern that looked down on all living beings!
Dugu Yuan staggered to his knees, and the shadows of the Frost Wolf and Water Ripple behind him shattered.

He looked up and saw Zheng Jun standing with his hands behind his back in the golden light, like a god looking down on an ant. He finally realized that what his uncle said was not empty talk.

With the sweet taste surging in his throat, Duguyuan knelt down on one knee, ignoring the injury on his palm, and bowed deeply, "I am willing to pay my respects to you, my lord!"

"General Dugu, there is no need to do this."

Zheng Jun smiled slightly, stepped forward to help Dugu Yuan come, and said with a smile: "Your strength is already quite impressive."

Indeed, Dugu Yuan has the capital to be proud.

His strength is already enough to fight against a warrior at the initial stage of Tongqiao.

If he breaks through to the Tongqiao realm and has true energy, then even if Zheng Jun wants to defeat Dugu Yuan, he will have to spend some time and effort. It will take at least twenty or thirty rounds to defeat the opponent. His potential is far greater than others. As long as he enters the Tongqiao realm, he will be the leader among the Tongqiao.

The reason why he was defeated instantly by Zheng Jun was that Zheng Jun used his superiority to bully the weak, and used the minor supernatural power "Heavenly Eye Breaking Barrier" which was rare among the martial artists with complete orifices, to directly penetrate the weakness of Dugu Yuan who was at the third level of outer power, and thus defeated him easily. Dugu Yuan stood up with Zheng Jun, and at the same time said respectfully: "General, you can call me by my nickname, which is "Qi Mi Tou."

"What a great Qi Mi head."

Zheng Jun smiled.

Although he didn't know what 'Qi Mi Tou' meant, since it could bring him closer, he didn't mind calling him that.

However, after helping Dugu Yuan up, Zheng Jun's hand suddenly flashed, and in Fangcun Mountain, a magical silver spear of divine weapon level suddenly appeared in Zheng Jun's hand.

Zheng Jun held the bright silver spear tightly, and under the envious gazes of the generals, he held it out and said to Dugu Yuan: "Qimi's spear shot out like a dragon, but now the old spear is broken, how can you be without a spear? Take this spear, I still hope that you can do meritorious deeds and kill the enemy for me!"

This bright silver spear was the magic weapon held by Zhang Bu, the nephew of Zhang Bengong in the past. When Zheng Jun was fighting with Zhang Bu, he exchanged the 'Punishment Spear' with him and gave it to Zhang Bu, while he took the 'Bright Silver Spear'.

However, there is no spearmanship among his own magical powers. This "bright silver spear" in his hand is tasteless and a pity to throw away.

Now that Dugu Yuan has surrendered, giving him this 'bright silver spear' which is useless in his hands can also win his heart.

more importantly……

Dugu Yuan's uncle is Dugu Jing, the prefect of Jingyuan County and the chief military commander of Lanzhou under the command of King Qin!
If we can persuade Dugu Jing to surrender, it will be even more powerful.

Dugu Yuan was deeply moved when he saw this. He did not refuse but took the spear solemnly and bowed to Zheng Junchang, saying, "Since my lord has trusted Qi Mi Tou, Qi Mi Tou will not let you down! I still have 2,000 cavalrymen from the Xianbei tribe. We are willing to follow Qi Mi Tou and submit to you, to expand your territory and show your power in the northern border!"

"good!"

Zheng Jun clapped his hands and smiled: "In this case, let Qi Mi Tou be the vanguard and lead the troops back to the county."

"promise!"

Although Dugu Yuan was defeated by Zheng Jun, he was still full of fighting spirit. He rode a fine horse and held a shiny silver spear in his hand, marching to the front of the army, looking very majestic.

When Zheng Jun saw this, he said nothing.

Only the other generals had a slightly strange look on their faces.

Today, Zheng Jun's subordinates are mainly divided into three factions.

One is the local faction of Bozhou represented by Xu Tianfang, Fu Li and others, who represent the interests of the outer martial artists from Kangle County and Pingzhang County.

One is the old Nanchu faction, represented by Chen Jingzhong, who is mainly responsible for intelligence work and people's livelihood issues, and has a very harmonious relationship with the local faction in Bozhou.

The last faction is the outsider faction, represented mainly by Lu Chengbi, including a series of surrendered generals such as Zhang Bengong. They have no local support and can only improve their status by relying on military merits.

Now Dugu is willing to join, and has brought two thousand Xianbei cavalry with him.

This will also inevitably mean that there will be an additional Lanzhou faction under Zheng Jun's command.

Moreover, he is very powerful, and even the genius Wei Quan has to be slightly defeated by him.

Although, Wei Quan only has the second level of outer power, while Dugu Yuan has the third level of outer power.

But this can prove a lot.

Dugu Yuan may become the first external martial artist under General Zheng to break through the orifice!
Therefore, the mindsets of the other factions began to change slowly.

However, Zheng Jun is still in the start-up stage. Even if there is any fight, it is impossible to fight too much and can only be hidden in the dark.

But the fact that Dugu Yuan is so highly regarded by General Zheng is enough to prove that the Lanzhou faction will definitely have a strong impact on their three forces.

As for Zheng Jun, he was also aware of the complicated factions among his subordinates.

but……

This is also inevitable.

Which imperial court doesn't have factions? Even if we want to ban this, we can't.

However, the appearance of Dugu Yuan also relieved Zheng Jun of his worries.

That means at least he would not be ambushed by Dugu Jing and would not have to worry about the transportation of prisoners.

That's great.

……

Lanzhou, Ningyuan County.

In the Ningyuan County Magistrate's Mansion, Fang Yan, a third-level Tongqiao warrior from the Fang family, was sitting together with Yu Pei, the Ningyuan County Magistrate. They were listening to the military report in front of them, feeling as if struck by lightning.

The content of the military report was simple and clear. The 10,000-man army led by Ba Tao and Hu Huaiping was defeated by Zheng Jun in one battle, with countless casualties, and only dozens of people managed to escape.

Ningyuan County Magistrate Yu Pei is a peak outer-level warrior. He was able to serve as the magistrate because the Yu family was indeed a wealthy family in Lanzhou. Now that they were suddenly faced with a war, they were naturally worried. Therefore, he unconsciously looked at Fang Yan and bowed to him, saying, "Mr. Fang, this...what should we do?"

Yu Pei is very panicked now.

There is a deep-seated fear for Zheng Jun.

Others may not know the situation, but he knows it very well.

What two hundred thousand pioneers?

Where did the 200,000 pioneers come from? !

Although Lanzhou is not the core area of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is not close to the border. The threats from the Western Di, Northern Rong, and Eastern Yi are not close to Lanzhou, and the affairs of the Southern Barbarians are thousands of miles away.

Therefore, although Lanzhou seems to have hundreds of thousands of troops, there are many cases of people collecting empty salaries and sucking the blood of the soldiers.

This is the case with Ningyuan County.

On paper, Ningyuan County had more than 20,000 regular soldiers and horses.

In wartime, the number of troops could be expanded to more than 80,000 by recruiting civilians and county soldiers.

But what is the reality?
Work hard and get full rewards.

Only 30,000 people have been gathered now!
These 200,000 vanguard troops are only troops on paper.

The actual number of people pulled out was only 90,000.

Among them, 10,000 were killed by Ba Tao and Hu Huaiping in Jingyuan County.

Among the remaining 80,000 people, 20,000 are soldiers from Jingyuan County!

Dugu Jing of Jingyuan County did not eat the empty salary or suck the blood of the soldiers, because he was born in the Northern Rong people, and such good things were not his.

Now, Zheng Jun seems to have seen through their weaknesses. What should they do?
Fortunately, Mr. Fang Yanfang is also a soldier who drinks blood.

Therefore, Yu Pei placed all his hopes on Fang Yan, hoping to get a solution from Fang Yan.

"Zheng Jun's strength is too strong and terrifying!"

"In the Battle of Jingyuan, corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers! One hundred thousand of our soldiers were killed in the battle, and our food and supplies, 190,000 blood pills, and 10,000 sets of black armor were also stolen!"

Fang Yan took a deep breath and continued, "Ba Tao and the fox demon were beaten to death by Zheng Jun. Now several counties in Jingyuan have been captured and the county town has been besieged. We can only stay in Ningyuan and wait for reinforcements!"

After saying this, Fang Yan even showed a mournful look, crying to Yu Pei: "I, Fang Yan, am guilty, I, Fang Yan, am guilty! My crime is that I don't know how to fight. I actually destroyed the great cause of His Royal Highness the King of Qin in one battle. I lost 100,000 soldiers in one battle, and Zheng Jun defeated my army of 100,000 with only 5,000 cavalry. This time, I am afraid that my Fang family will be laughed at by heroes all over the world!"

"Forehead……"

After hearing Fang Yan's words, Yu Pei was stunned and shocked.

When did Zheng Jun's 5,000 cavalry exceed 100,000?

But Yu Pei was no fool. He immediately realized that Fang Yan seemed to want to treat Zheng Jun as a "sage of balance of accounts". He then asked in a low voice: "Mr. Fang, can the governor believe this?"

"Of course I don't believe it. Drinking the 'Soldier's Blood' was not something I did alone. The ancestor was concentrating all resources on a breakthrough to the Yuan Dan stage. Ultimately, the ancestor was still drinking the 'Soldier's Blood'. We were just drinking the soup base."

Fang Yan sneered when he heard this, and then said, "As long as the King of Qin believes it, it will be fine. Anyway, the special envoy sent by the King of Qin, Hu Huaiping, is dead, and no one can report the specific information. Just let the King of Qin allocate more funds."

"I think my ancestor is really old and confused! If the King of Qin cannot take over the capital, my Lanzhou will not be able to connect with Guanzhong. What's the point of surrendering to the King of Qin? In my opinion, instead of surrendering to the vassal king, it is better to surrender to the King of Wei. Who knows, the King of Wei may withstand the pressure from Emperor Yongchang and provide resources for my ancestor to condense Yuandan!"

"As for the King of Qin? He hangs out with beasts every day. In my opinion, even if he manages to capture the capital, he won't be able to rule the world! The fate of the world will most likely still depend on the King of Yan, the King of Zhao, and the King of Qi!"

The King of Yan had 200,000 elite troops in Yunzhou, the King of Zhao had 150,000 elite troops in Suzhou, and the King of Qi guarded Qingzhou.

These three kings are the real future.

Although the King of Wei and the King of Han seemed to be powerful, they were just vanguards of the king.

Even if they withstand the pressure, their power will be greatly reduced and they will lose the chance to dominate the world.

As for the King of Chu? Let's see who wins and who loses with Xiao Liang and Lu Wu first.

As for the King of Yue? He is just a lackey of Emperor Yongchang, and he can't do anything!
