Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 301 The Holy Monk Tang Pretends to Farm in A Prefecture, and Lord Wei Makes Three Visits to Modu

It is said that Tang Xuanci ordered the Independent Regiment to loot Haoshan completely, falsely report the results, and line his own pockets, making a fortune.

Then, he immediately took his two apprentices and the Liangshan troops back to the Baoxiang Kingdom, returned the military tally, and even abandoned the Independent Regiment, pretending to "retire from the army and return to his hometown".

After all, he was not a celestial general, but a celestial being from the domain. Once he completed the agreed-upon temporary assignment, the Ministry of War had no right to control him.

But the God of Jiawu was still counting on them to continue to shine and help him turn the tide of the war.

Seeing this, he couldn't even bother with his usual airs anymore. He immediately hosted a banquet for the three of them, saying that he would gather 10,000 heavenly soldiers and let Tang Xuanci lead an "independent division" to counterattack the Blackwater River.

He solemnly promised that as long as they won, he would personally help them claim credit. Even if Tang Xuanci didn't want to work in the Ministry of War in the future, he could at least be appointed as the City God of Shangdu in the pacified area!

Tang Xuanci was secretly pleased, but fully utilizing the art of negotiation, he directly refused, saying:

"Sorry, I'm busy."

“When I was still a monk at Jinshan Temple, I saw a rich man grabbing poor people on the roadside and beating them until they were covered in blood and bruises!”

"There was no reason, just because he was poor!"
"From that day on, I made a great vow to ensure that there are no poor people in the three realms!"

"This little fairy only saves all living beings, and has no interest in fighting and killing!"

"Only by developing the economy can we truly save all living beings. The reason I went to fight the demons on Mount Hao was not only to prove my innocence, but also because I didn't want them to affect the development of A-zhou."

"Now that the anti-demon has retreated, we, master and disciple, have more important things to do."

"Please enjoy your meal, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave now!"

After saying this, he left his seat.

The Jiawu Divine Lord was completely bewildered, having paid no attention to why the man had left a brothel when he was a monk. His mind was filled with these impassioned words, and he began to doubt all of the man's judgments, muttering to himself:

"The Demon Buddha resides in the Western Paradise, while the Holy Monk is on the way?"

However, he did not give up, upon hearing an advisor's advice:

"Since Tang Sanzang and his disciples care about all living beings, we can first find some upright immortals and persuade them by explaining the advantages and disadvantages of opposing demons and harming living beings."

Following the advice, the Jiawu God immediately tried to persuade Zhao Ziyu, the Yin Goddess of the Ministry of War, Can Shuiyuan, the Star Official of the Dipper Department, Yuan Liangping, the Thunder God General, who were his junior brothers who were immortals in the mortal realm, as well as other Qingliu sect immortals.

Then he personally led a team to the capital of the desert to persuade them.

On their first visit, the local earth god Zhao Dongzhi told them:
"Both Lord Chen and Tang Xianwei are not here. It seems they are away on business and will probably not be back until the day after tomorrow."

Actually, the four masters and disciples and Lord Chen were playing a five-on-one game in an internet cafe in the city center at that time.

On their second visit, Lord Chen told them:

"I came back first. Pigeon, Little Monkey, Little Pig, and Little Sand have to work on a new project, so they might not be back for a few more days. There's no signal over there, so we can't get through on our phones."

In fact, the four of them did have a project, which they were working on at the Heaven on Earth.

On their third visit, the Jiawu God and his entourage refused to leave and waited for a day and a night at the City God Temple's guesthouse, finally welcoming Tang Xuanci!

Seeing their sincerity and their invocation of the will of all living beings, Tang Xuanci finally agreed after making a series of unreasonable but seemingly reasonable demands and expanding his freedom of military action to the limit.

He immediately ground ink and picked up a brush, writing down four lines:
"To establish a moral compass for Heaven and Earth, to plead for all living beings, to vanquish demons and evil spirits for the Celestial Court, and to bring peace to the Three Realms."

This was to express his determination to eliminate the anti-demon.

The immortals of Qingliu were all moved, some even shedding tears.

Who wept the most in the entire audience? The Goddess of Yin's robes were soaked!
……

A few days later,
Tang Xuanci ordered Sha Wujing to properly manage the City God, oversee all affairs of Azhou, and ensure the supply of military provisions.

She also ordered the Queen Mother to look after the household and, together with the Fox Concubine, prevent Buddhist and Taoist thieves from taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble.

Finally, some leaders, key figures, and junior officers were transferred from the Hezi group to the central army camp to take command.

To make it easier to pronounce and to fit the newly established "Three Realms Unique Military Management Science" by Beaker, he slightly adjusted the organization based on the template of his home planet, reorganizing the more than 12,000 soldiers and generals into:
1 division;

5 groups;

20 battalions;

100 lines;

342 rows;

1333 classes.

All members of the division completed the beaker survey questionnaire within two days and recorded photos and videos using a professional APP, which were then compiled in one place.

The beaker completed the analysis and processing of all the information in just two and a half seconds.

From now on, any soldier standing in front of Tang Xuanci will have their name, gender, blood type, health bar (injury level), mana bar (mana consumption)... cultivation techniques, special skills, number of enemies killed, family members...

MBTI (personality test results), interpersonal relationships and reputation...

They will all appear instantly.

Moreover, with continuous improvement and refinement in the future, the beaker can adjust each screw to its most suitable position.

Even before the battle begins, she can judge the psychological reactions of each unit and quantify morale and chances of victory directly into intuitive numbers.

If there is a mole, she can calculate the suspicion level of each soldier and general, minimizing the cost of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free"!
This is the unique military management system of the Three Realms.

Far ahead!

After opening the altar and offering sacrifices to Heaven.

Tang Xuanci had an art student possess him and completed a pre-battle mobilization.

Then, with a single command, they marched westward to launch an expedition.

He once walked on thin ice, with only three Houmi and one Naillong by his side on his westward journey.

Now, he has tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers, an entire division.

The anti-demon army in the Wuji Kingdom heard that the Demon Commander Tang Xuanci, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong, and the Deputy General Tianpeng Zhu Wuneng had led a total of 10,000 troops to attack.

They were all terrified by this lineup and became restless.

With morale rising and falling, the Independent Division swept through the Wuji Kingdom in just seven days with overwhelming force, forcing all the anti-demon forces to retreat to the banks of the Blackwater River.

The blue-skinned King Si already harbored deep hatred for Tang Xuanci, and upon hearing the news, he was even more shocked and furious. However, he had no choice but to remain stationed in the still unstable Leiji Mountain Range to the north to deal with the counterattack of the Demon-Subduing and Demon-Slaying Allied Forces.

It was only among the former Four Rivers Dragon Kings that the Li Dragon and Qingbei Dragon, who had escaped capture and were not imprisoned by their father, the Jing River Dragon King, led ten thousand water-warrior demons to support the Little Crocodile Dragon.

He ordered the three brothers to stay put at the Blackwater River and not to engage in battle, no matter what provocations were used. He was to wait for the situation on the north side to stabilize before personally returning to deal with Tang Sanzang and his disciples!
Now, Tang Xuanci and his two disciples arrived at the Blackwater River. Looking out from a high vantage point, they saw:
Black waters stretch across the sky, demonic energy locks the gates of hell.
A thousand demons entangle the perilous pass, ten thousand miasmas obscure the dawn and dusk;
The mysterious blade is curled up in the waves, and the white bone flag is hidden on the cliff.
Even with the strength to match the heavens, it would be impossible to save the souls here!
The leader of the water army standing behind the three masters and disciples, "Black Demon in the Waves" Crocodile Shun, couldn't help but gasp when he saw this.

Compared to the perilous situation here, my own "Wazuka River" felt like an open-air bath.

Tang Xuanci also knew that this river was not much different from the Eight Hundred Mile Flowing Sands and the Tongtian River. Moreover, the demon reinforcements had arrived and were on guard against the monkeys. It would be difficult to take it down in a short time.

"I've heard that Wuneng once commanded 80,000 naval soldiers in the Heavenly River and is very skilled in naval warfare. What do you think... the best way to fight here?"

He didn't immediately ask Beaker what his plan was.

The war between immortals and demons in the Three Realms is vastly different from the war on the home planet, and there is currently a serious lack of practical experience, resulting in too many uncertainties in military command and making accurate calculation impossible.

Zhu Wuneng was once Marshal Tianpeng, so even if he was a bit of a fool and full of idiots, he must still have some knowledge.

But then they saw that guy, with his big belly sticking out, stuff a piece of betel nut into his mouth, chew it, and say:

"If you ask me, it's best not to fight."

The monkey launched a flying kick, sending his buttocks tumbling down, and cursed:

"This cowardly fool must be afraid that we'll send him to the front lines, so he chickened out and has no guts!"

"In my opinion, this place is nothing more than a small, broken river. Those three evil dragons are hiding in it, like a signboard for their heads to be sold!"
"You all stay here and watch. I'll go and play around first and test their so-called formations."

After saying that, he was about to do a somersault and take off.

"Wukong, don't be so impatient."

Tang Xuanci immediately grabbed it, frowned, and said to the pig:

What do you mean by "you won't fight"?

But then Pigsy said:

"You damn monkey, I said we won't fight here, not anywhere else."

"I suggest leaving the main force behind and setting up defenses along the mountain to confront them."

"We only brought a small elite force, ignoring the monsters on and off the river, and charged straight to the other side, speeding westward all the way."

"When the time comes, we will fly when the enemy comes, advance when the enemy retreats, retreat when the enemy is numerous, and fight when the enemy is few. We will avoid the enemy's strength and attack their weakness, and take advantage of the enemy."

"Just as the Marquis of Champion of the Western Han Dynasty penetrated deep into the heart of the Xiongnu territory, so too can we drink from the Zimu River nearby and seal off the Lion Camel Ridge far away."

Ah this?

Lead a regiment, abandon all escape routes, and charge straight for Lion Camel Ridge?

It sounds incredibly powerful, but... is it a good thing?
