The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

The words of the green fish demon immediately aroused the sympathy of the aunties in the market, and they all said they would introduce a fish demon wife to it.

Fang Yun found this Kongcheng more and more interesting.

The green fish demon immediately expressed his gratitude, saying that he would send small fish to people, and casually said a few simple demon words.

Fang Yun smiled, glanced at the green fish demon, and continued to walk.

Passing by the door of a wealthy family, Fang Yun saw a lion demon general playing with a group of children, making the children happy, just like a docile big dog. Fang Yun looked at the group of children. Several of them were wearing the blood jade of the demon king. At least they were from wealthy families.

"It seems that the human race has been vigorously taming the demon barbarians." Fang Yun thought.

When the Wei couple brought Fang Yun to the Grand Canal, it was completely dark. There were many Kongming lanterns floating in the sky above the Grand Canal, and many candle-made lanterns floating on the river, including small boat lanterns, lotus lanterns, and even eggshell lanterns.

This is the tradition of Shengyuan Continent. People light lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and release lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival, placing their hopes on the lanterns, hoping that the lanterns can flow down the river and help them fulfill their wishes.

Fang Yun slowly walked towards the Grand Canal.

Kongcheng originally did not have this river, but the Holy Kong opened up a 20-mile wide Grand Canal with his own efforts, connecting Yuejiang in the west and the East China Sea in the east, allowing Kongcheng, which is 500 miles away from the East China Sea, to directly connect to the East China Sea, known as the Little Yangtze River.

With the Kongcheng Grand Canal, things from other places can be continuously transported to Kongcheng through convenient water transportation, making Kongcheng and Qufu more prosperous.

Looking at the men and women by the river, Fang Yun missed Yang Yuhuan and Nunu a little, and then bought a few lanterns with the Wei couple, and went to the Grand Canal to release lanterns and make wishes for Yang Yuhuan and Nunu.

After the lanterns were put up, Fang Yun and the other three walked home. After a few steps, they suddenly heard a messy but heavy sound of horse hooves in front of them. It was not a clattering sound, but a rumbling sound. At the same time, someone shouted to get out of the way.

Fang Yun looked forward and saw a team of cavalrymen running on the street. There were about fifty cavalrymen, each with two horses.

The more than one hundred horses were particularly tall, with palm-sized green scales all over their bodies and a single horn on their heads. They were pure-blooded dragon horses, and their value was more than a hundred times that of ordinary dragon horses.

Fang Yun couldn't help but smack his lips. Even the ceremonial guard of the King of Jing State only used twenty pure-blooded dragon horses. This team actually had hundreds of dragon horses, which could almost replace a 10,000-man ordinary dragon horse cavalry, and a 10,000-man dragon horse cavalry could easily defeat an army of 50,000.

These pure-blooded dragon horses would not get tired even if they traveled two thousand miles a day, but they looked very tired at this moment.

The pure-blooded dragon horses were all bull barbarians, wearing extremely sophisticated iron armor, with a blue-green glow on the surface. Fang Yun had lived in the army before, and recognized at a glance that this was a cold iron armor forged with the bones of the demon king. A set of armor was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and was extremely strong. Combined with the blood of the bull barbarians, it was enough to resist the war poems of many juren.

However, what surprised Fang Yun the most was not the pure-blooded dragon horses and sophisticated armor, but the barbarian knights with boiling blood.

Two bull barbarian generals, equivalent to Jinshi, led the army, and a full fifty bull barbarian generals, equivalent to juren, followed.

This is not over yet. After the bull barbarian general knights, there were twenty-four wolf demons, one of which was a demon marquis equivalent to Hanlin, followed by four demon generals and demon generals.

"This... can't be part of the private army of a semi-saint? Even if Li Wenying is the first university scholar of Jingguo and ranks second on the demon clan university scholar hunting list, he only has about ten demon barbarian followers, and the highest one is just a demon general." Fang Yun thought.

There is a blood-red ring around the eyes of these wolf demons, which means that they are demons who have eaten humans. Except for the semi-saint family, no one is qualified to tame and raise this kind of demon.

This team of demon barbarians was full of blood and blood. The surrounding horses or demon barbarians with weaker strength were scared to the ground. Even if the people on both sides of the street were used to seeing demon barbarians in Kongcheng, they were terrified. Some children were even scared to cry.

Hearing the crying, the cattle barbarians were better, but the wolf demons actually showed a contemptuous smile.

The wolf demon lord roared, with a strong murderous intent in his eyes, and he didn't take everyone seriously at all.

A tamed wolf demon was glanced at by the wolf demon lord, and he trembled and urinated.

Fang Yun saw such a fierce private army for the first time. He sighed in his heart that the Ten Kingdoms really had hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Once this team of private soldiers came out, even 10,000 troops were not enough for them to kill.

When passing by Fang Yun, the wolf demon suddenly looked at Fang Yun, then showed a mouthful of white teeth, showed a threatening and slightly disdainful look, and continued to run.

This team of demon barbarian private army crossed the street and left, leaving people shocked along the way.

Fang Yun was very curious about the owner of this private army, because even if the people of the various holy families could raise more demon barbarian private armies, they only raised a few loyal ones. There were very few private armies with more than 50 people like this, and even fewer people dared to be so arrogant under the nose of the Kongsheng family.

Fang Yun walked while listening to the people on the roadside talking.

"Which private army? It's scary."

"Damn it! This is Kongcheng, at the foot of the Holy Academy, who dares to be so presumptuous!"

"I remembered that I talked to a friend of the Kongsheng family a while ago. It should be the private army of the evil king!"

"It turned out to be him, no wonder, he is simply a lunatic."

"Humph, this is Kongcheng, he has to lie down like a tiger and coil up like a dragon!"

"But he didn't lie down or coil up."

Hearing everyone's discussion, Fang Yun thought to himself: Fierce King? Very likely. The Fierce Lord was the number one scholar in the Wu Kingdom, so he was able to rise to the top like only a great scholar. He flew here himself, but his private army was not that fast, so he traveled day and night, switching to pure-blooded dragon horses. He actually asked the private army to come together, and it seemed that he valued this holy ruins very much.

Fang Yun suddenly thought of another possibility.

"Eight years ago, the evil king was a Juren, so he must have been to the Holy Ruins! This time he was willing to exchange Han Xin's weapon platform for my blood-dropped animal skin, and brought an entire private army here. It was obvious that he was determined to win. Could it be? What important clues did he find in the Holy Ruins eight years ago?"

Fang Yun sighed softly. After seeing the private army of the Fierce Lord with his own eyes, he realized how big the gap was between himself and the Semi-Saint family. He also understood why the Fierce Lord was so crazy about plundering and oppressing those wealthy families. If he didn't do that, he wouldn't be able to support this family. A private army. There is no doubt about the strength of this private army. Just this group of private soldiers and the fierce monarch can defeat an army of 50,000 people. If they fight for Wenbao, the fierce monarch may be able to annihilate the entire army of 50,000 people.

"No wonder the fierce king has the confidence to restore the glory of the Meng Sheng family. When Meng Sheng was in Hanlin, he didn't necessarily have such a private army. The private soldiers of Hanlin actually had demon princes, which is equivalent to the private army of half saints having demon saints. , it was almost impossible to happen, but he just did it.”

"When I become a Jinshi, I will also be qualified to raise a private army of demons and barbarians. A real private army only feeds the blood and flesh of the demon clan, which is a waste of money. If the Holy Ruins cannot get some holy blood and holy jade this time, it will be difficult to move forward in the future."

Fang Yun was thinking in his mind as he returned to Zhou Mansion, feeling more pressure and having a stronger desire to visit the Holy Ruins.

"The first of the thirty-six strategies has been obtained. The second strategy of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao is best completed before entering the holy ruins. However... the eighth strategy of the thirty-six strategies is to secretly cross Chencang, and the evil king just has "Han Xin Three Chapters" ", and the first one of them is "Building Plank Roads Mingming, Crossing Chencang Secretly"! This means that in the future, "Thirty-Six Strategies" will never be considered a complete military book in front of those who hold "Han Xin Three Chapters"!

Fang Yun didn't expect that a fierce king would cause such a big obstacle to him.

Fang Yun pondered for a moment, and suddenly a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"First write down the second plan of "Surrounding Wei and Rescue Zhao" and then talk about it!"

After returning home, Fang Yun asked the Wei family not to disturb him, and then began to formally write "Thirty-Six Strategies to Encircle Wei and Save Zhao".

When he wrote the last word, Fang Yun entered Cai Qi Yan Wu for the second time.

As soon as Fang Yun opened his eyes, he found himself sitting in the Chinese army's tent. A man rushed in from outside and shouted: "Report to General Fang! Our army was originally going to capture the barbarian tribe tomorrow, but another barbarian tribe used a plan to surround Wei and save Zhao. Attack Dongcheng, and the monarch is in Dongcheng! Dongcheng is empty, and the monarch has issued an imperial edict, asking you to abandon this barbarian tribe and return to rescue. "

Fang Yun was dumbfounded, thinking that I was obviously going to besiege Wei to save Zhao, why did I get to besiege Wei and save Zhao? This talented martial artist is too vicious! Even a semi-saint of military strategists would have to vomit blood if he came.

The plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao was based on the general trend and conspiracy. It was the most poisonous plan and could not be solved.

However, Fang Yun was only angry for a moment before he returned to normal. He had been studying the art of war, and naturally he would also think of ways to crack it. He had already thought about it in his mind. This method of besieging Wei and saving Zhao must be used or not. Once it is used, no one can crack it, unless a saint descends from heaven. .

"However, just because the art of war cannot be broken, it does not mean that the battle will be defeated! This strategy cannot be broken, but there are ways to deal with it reluctantly."

"If I lead the entire army to rescue now, not to mention that the exhausted soldiers will be attacked head-on after arriving, even if I can persist in the battle, I will definitely be attacked from both front and rear. If I divide my troops, I will also be seeking death. This is how Pang Juan lost to Sun Bin. Yes. Since the talented barbarians used it to encircle Wei and save Zhao, there must be some reverse scholars who will not give me a chance."

Fang Yun kept thinking about what he had learned these days and finally made a decision.

"Winning is impossible, but there is a chance to be undefeated!"

As a result, Fang Yun ordered an overnight attack on the barbarian tribes and won the victory with absolute strength, but there were also certain casualties. At the same time, only 15,000 of the 20,000-strong army were left.

Fang Yun ordered everyone to eat, drink and rest, and go to Dongcheng to rescue the king tomorrow.

On the second day, the wounded were left behind, and the 15,000 soldiers who could fight set out, but instead of marching in a hurry, they marched slowly to maintain the physical strength of all the soldiers and avoid being surrounded by barbarians for reinforcements.

Slowing down the march is not a strategy for victory, but the only strategy for invincibility!

It could have taken half a day of rapid marching, but it took Fang a day and a half to arrive. However, Dongcheng had already been captured by the barbarians and the king was killed.

Fang Yun ordered an attack on Dongcheng, but in the end both sides suffered losses. Fang Yun died in the battle, and there were not many barbarians left. Cai Qi's first martial arts performance to siege Wei and rescue Zhao failed.

Fang Yun opened his eyes again and found that he was still in the study. Then he asked the Weis and his wife. In fact, only one day had passed. After careful calculation, he found that the time for marching was deducted from the talent performance and martial arts. It was exactly one day.

After Fang Yun rested, he rummaged through military books in a targeted manner and learned strategies for siege. When his talents recovered, he entered into the second military exercise of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao.
