The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

Daozu is Cthulhu Chapter 372 Wei Hu

While eating glutinous rice balls and watching the drama, Li Fan was not in a hurry to take action.

He couldn't say he had any resentment towards these rebels. Speaking of them, they were just defecting to the warlords from the vassal state, so there was nothing to criticize. What Niu Xiaowei, Wang Taiwei, has nothing to do with him, but Na Wei joins the army, no, Yushi Zhongcheng, even if I remember correctly, it seems to be the apprentice of the previous Yushi doctor Wen Jin, right? Calculating it this way, this person may still have some old grudges with Mozhushan.

However, because these defecting soldiers did not kill the waiters at the inn, they just drove them to the stable to avoid trouble. Since there are still glutinous rice balls to eat, Li Fan doesn't care about them anymore.

Of course, it’s also possible that the Nangong family was ‘conspiracy’ here, but they simply forgot to check if there was anyone around to watch. It’s just a fool who has a lucky fate and saved his life...

So I ate two more bowls of glutinous rice balls for Li Tangyuan. After he was full and full, the guy threw his head and fell into the basket for a nap, dripping with tears.

Li Fan also paid the bill and watched the light rain subside. He put the basket on his back and followed the clearly visible horse hoof prints on the ground toward the east foot of Taohua Mountain, following the traces left by the border rebels.

As expected, although the Nangong family's army in the south has banners flying all over the sky, and the alliance is hundreds of miles away, and the iron walls seem to be impeccable, it is these mountain guards who have been stationed on the border for a long time, who know the surrounding terrain best. Li Fan followed along the mountain path, from the foot of the mountain ridge Walking through the dense forest plank road, they quickly bypassed the army in the south and took advantage of the loopholes to bypass the numerous military camp sentries.

Even the scouts and Qingqi were not noticed, and Li Fan's heels were naturally not noticed. He crossed the border of Peach Blossom Mountain safely and arrived at Liguo.

Sigh... Look at the level of errors and omissions in the Nangong family. It's just that you don't know geography. People have passed right under your nose, and you don't even think of asking more. How the hell has this been able to sustain the Immortal Sect for so many years? Is there really a bonus to being stupid?

The first border town in the north of Liguo to bear the brunt is Bianzhou North Town. This military town is basically similar to the Hebei feudal town and belongs to the border defense troops stationed to guard the border.

Although the sects and vassals are different, the official names of the local vassals are all in a mess. The lords of the twelve kingdoms and the personal soldiers directly under the warlords of each vassal basically follow the principle of the more the better. They can raise as many as they can, and the miscellaneous generals are also given randomly. However, when broken down into local vassal and town guards, the establishment and organizational model of the military at the grassroots level, basically the twelve countries are of the same origin and have similar differences.

For example, the Seventh Division of Sifangsuwei in Sanyuan has five thousand households in each division, and the chief of the thousand households is the school captain. Of course, the Immortal Palace's Suwei Captain is not the same thing as the Patrolling Guard Captain named Niu. The captains of Suwei are even hereditary, and the ones above are Habayashi Lang, Zhonglang General, and even generals. And local vassal states, with a thousand soldiers and horses under their command, can call themselves captains.

Therefore, the establishment of the guard station in Li State was not five thousand households, but five thousand people, with a commander. Larger prefectural cities have five or six guard posts, smaller border towns also have three or four guards, and a governor envoy is installed. Prefectures and counties also have several prefectures and passes, and a governor envoy is installed.

And it is different from Su Wei's model of integrating soldiers and farmers to open up wasteland and defend the land. Li Guo recruits soldiers, and the land belongs to powerful landlords, so there is no land for settlement. However, in recent years, Li Guo has become rich, and the army, food and salary can theoretically be coordinated by the court and paid by the local government. However, it is inevitable that there will be those who take advantage of their pay, those who falsely report the number of soldiers, and those who fill the numbers with fake weapons. Therefore, in the garrison in the mainland, looking at the army of more than ten or two hundred thousand on the books, it is often good to have 30% of the troops. .

However, Bianzhou is an important town in the north of Liguo. It guards the border county all year round to prevent refugees and demons from escaping. In addition, there have been frequent rebellions by the remnants of the Black Lotus Sect in recent years. There is no shortage of soldiers. In Bianzhou North Town alone, there are two A mountain patrol guard, two vassal guard guards, and many refugee bandit commanders and mercenaries from the Central Plains and Kunlun can be recruited. Judging from the number of people, I'm afraid it's not much behind the Nangong family. It really can't be said to be a 'lone army'.

Of course, if you compare the cultivation level, the Liguo army will suffer more. After all, the output of the Shengang Dan and Shenyingdan is used by the Nangong family themselves. The Liguo clan is not divided enough, and it is not like the northern vassal towns that suffer tribulations every day. There is also dragon meat that can be greatly replenished. At this time, most of the soldiers in the city are Qi refining and foundation building. There are no more than a hundred people who have cultivated the golden elixir, and there is no Nascent Soul level at all. It can be seen that he has really been given up.

Although the Nangong family is rubbish, it is still a big piece of rubbish. They are heavenly soldiers and generals in the literal sense. What's more, the Nangong family's unparalleled prince led the expedition to the Kun Kingdom this time. They are also elite soldiers. There are at least three to five rubbish golden elixirs. Thousands, and there are fire phoenixes, pegasus, and divine weapon charms in the Immortal Palace. Even if the coach is mentally retarded, it won't matter. The strength of the armies on both sides is very different. If they are pulled out to fight head-on, there is a high probability that the Nangong family will win.

However, Li Fan didn't see any monks in the Nangong Army who were in the realm of gods, and there weren't many Nascent Soul cultivators, maybe seventeen or eight. It seemed that Nangong Wushuang was not in the army. He most likely ran away after seeing the meteor shower. Went to Taobao in Central China.

Originally, Li Fan didn't want to meddle in the Beizhen Army's business. Since he had easily passed the Nangong Army in Peach Blossom Mountain, he just flew back to Mozhu Mountain. But he caught a glimpse of those rebels entering the city, and on a whim, he wanted to see what kind of person Wei Hu was, who was praised to the heavens and the earth, and how he could be a leader of the younger generation. Will he fall for such a stupid plan of the Nangong family?

So he hid in the city and followed Captain Niu to the Governor's Mansion in Beizhen to have a look at the excitement.

The governor of Beizhen, who was not a member of Wang E's party, has been dismissed from office. Now the people who call the shots in the city are Zhongcheng, the former censor who joined the army, and Wei Gao, the supervisor of the five towns.

Although the Peach Blossom Mountain in the north is close to Chi Chi, where Nangong's army is stationed, the North Town is actually very orderly, and there is no trace of chaos. The city is also well-defended, and patrols and guards are as usual. It can't be said that there is any problem. But what is outrageous is that, When he arrived at the Duhu Mansion, Li Fan only saw a long queue outside the mansion. People were coming and going, and there was a lot of traffic. Moreover, they were not on alert, but seemed to be distributing food expenses...

It was really a break-up fee. Li Fan mingled with the crowd and watched for a while, only to see that the warehouses of the Duhufu were emptied, and piles of silk, gold and silver were piled in the yard. The secretary's soldiers were calling the money according to the list.

Those veterans who have been guarding the border for many years, who have an old and frail only son, or who are disabled or sick and short of money, or who have urgent needs for weddings, deaths or funerals, will be given rice, grain, money and silk and will be rewarded according to their merits if the necessary registration is true. When the army approached and refused to defend the city, Wei Gao personally wrote a letter, allowing him to cancel his membership and join the army, and leave the border and return home.

At this moment, hundreds of soldiers took their money, packed up their bedding and left, but most of them stayed. After all, the world is not peaceful these days. It is better to be a soldier and get paid than to farm, right? What's more, the land is not yours. You have to work hard and suffer from hunger and beatings. You are ruined because you don't work hard enough. At least you have a knife in your hand, so no idiot would dare to say that in front of you.

Li Fan was thoughtful, while Niu Yunguang and the others also looked confused. Although I couldn't understand it, I was shocked.

"Join the army... What are you doing to supervise the army?"

Niu Yunguang was obviously not a scheming person. He smelled of alcohol, and he probably got drunk, so he came to assassinate him with a sharp knife in his chest. But he didn't expect that the scene in the Protector's Mansion would be like this.

"The Supervisory Army has calculated and clarified the salary arrears of Zhu Duhu. Now that the imperial court has granted him the title of Supervisor of the Military North Town, he will naturally settle the matter first, and then talk about other things. Do you also want to calculate? Then go and line up at the back."

The gatekeeper pointed his stick, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that the long line had made a few rounds.

Niu Yunguang hesitated for a moment, "I'm waiting to come back from the mountain patrol and I have urgent military information to report."

The guard nodded, "Take off your armor and follow me into the house."

So the captain and the army commander thought about it, took off their swords and armor and went in. The other soldiers hesitated for a while, but they didn't want to force their way in, so they went to line up to receive the money.

The two of them followed the guards into the Duhu Mansion, but were led to a side hall, where several sergeants were dining, drinking heavily and eating large pieces of meat.

"The Supervisory Army has ordered that things are very busy now, and the military situation will be dealt with first. You will wait here for the summons. If you are hungry and thirsty, please eat first."

When the two of them saw that there were so many people lining up for military affairs, they had no choice but to go in to eat and drink.

Li Fanyuan followed them, but no matter how slow he was, he noticed it and stood at the door without moving.

As expected, as soon as Niu Yunguang and Su Yugang sat down and picked up the wine jar before taking a sip, they were swarmed by the sergeants dining around them, jumped over and captured them!

Ren Niu Xiaowei was also a bit brave, but he couldn't help but when his hands were occupied, so many strong men grabbed him, and he was tied up without struggling twice. In just a moment, the two people were already disgraced and were tied up. They were escorted together to the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion and knelt down!

These two people were defeated so easily. Li Fan was a little dumbfounded for a moment, so he followed them with the basket on his back.

I saw four military guards on the left and right sides of the lobby. They were all warriors with strong energy to protect their bodies. They were not ordinary mediocre warriors.

In the first seat at the back, there sat a scribe in Confucian robes. He had the cultivation of Jindan, and he looked really good. He was a dignified man of seven feet, with broad shoulders, high eyebrows, deep eyes, a leopard head with eyes, and a mustache around the cheeks. He has a strong sense of righteousness, his voice is not revealed, and he has a dignified manner. He is said to be a scholar, but he has no connection with poverty and weakness. There is probably no problem in picking up a pen and joining the army.

This person should be the famous leader of the four evils of Changsi City, Wei Hu and Wei Gao. It's just that this person said he was busy with official duties, but he was holding a volume of poetry in his hand and was tasting it. He looked quite leisurely, and he didn't seem to be pretending.

Because there was a table in the side hall on his right, with documents and account books stacked as high as a hill, but there was a clerk who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, disguised as a man, buried in it, brushing with a brush in his hand. Keep writing.

The secretary has something to do, right?

Niu Yunguang, Su Yu and others raised their heads and glanced at this person. Their aura dropped a bit, and they knelt down without speaking.

Wei Gao didn't look at them, and just said calmly, "Brother Yunguang and a group of brothers left without saying goodbye, and then came back to do more. Could it be that the gold and silver outside were not enough, and he came to get it?" My head?"

He closed the book of poems and glanced up at the two of them. His eyes were indeed like those of a tiger, extremely majestic and bright, making those with evil intentions break out in cold sweat.

The military commander, Ma Suyu, simply shrank his neck, dumbfounded and speechless.

Niu Yunguang also had cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't dare to look at the hall, he only stared at the floor tiles and said, "Yes... I was worried about being implicated by Zhu Zhu and was undecided. I heard that Ming Gong set things right and that rewards and punishments are clear. This I have just returned, and I am willing to work hard with you and live and die with him!"

After Wei Gao heard this, he laughed loudly, threw the collection of poems in his hand into the eucalyptus slip next to him, stepped forward in person, and pulled Niu Yunguang up, "Oh! Brother Yunguang actually has such intentions! Don't be surprised! It's not Wei. I am suspicious, but it is forced by the situation. The undercurrent in the city is dangerous, so I have to be on guard! With the help of Brother Yunguang today, our North Town will be as solid as a rock! Hahahaha! Please come with me! There is something that must be done by my brother, Please give me a helping hand!”

Niu Yunguang also followed suit, and within a few seconds he was surrounded by a group of warriors and dragged away in the middle.

Su Yu was even more miserable. Her mouth was covered and she was punched in the temple. She fainted and didn't know where she was taken.

Li Fanzhi frowned and saw Wei Gao's subordinates dragging Niu Yunguang outside the courtyard of the Protector's Mansion, but he was not in a hurry to follow him out.

Did this guy just hide a talisman secretly on Niu Yunguang?

Xuantian, "Yes, there should be another one."

So Li Fan turned to look at the side hall.

Sure enough, the clerk who had been busy writing and writing questions suddenly stood up, picked out a talisman from the collection of poems that Wei Gao had just left, pinched the talisman, swallowed it, and sat in silence with his eyes closed. .

Xuantian, "I'm casting a curse."

Li Fanruo realized something, and walked outside the courtyard, jumped on the eaves, and looked around. He saw that the three floors outside and the three floors inside the Protector's Mansion were all blocked by soldiers who had gathered.

The sergeants gathered in the courtyard sang and saluted Wei Gao and his entourage. Some were called to join the army, some were called to supervise the army, some were called Zhongcheng, and some directly called Wei Gong. It seems that they have spent more than just sitting in meditation in the past few years. Reading poetry books is so simple.

There were already soldiers running around, quickly putting tables together to build a high platform.

Wei Gao was the first to take the stage, but Niu Yunguang was pinched by two big men on the left and right, unable to move. He only looked confused and was dragged to the high platform by Wei Gao's personal guards and held him down on his knees.

Niu Yunguang's face was naturally recognized by the local Lijun army. Many people were whispering, wondering why the captain was kidnapped and paraded in front of the stage.

Then I heard Wei Gao's voice sounding like thunder and ringing like a loud bell. I don't know whether it was because of his talent or secret manipulation. He was really like a ferocious tiger roaring in filial piety. He pointed at Niu Yunguang and said loudly,

"Niu Yunguang! Why do you think Zhu Zhu was dismissed?"

Niu Yunguang said, "The Governor had a secret agreement with the Nangong family, agreeing to raise an army to rebel. Yin acted as a countermeasure and captured the five towns in Bianzhou to meet Nangong's army. This move was discovered by the Taiwei, so he resigned."

Wei Gao said again, "You patrolled the mountain yesterday! Why are you missing? Where did you patrol? Call us from the truth!"

Niu Yunguang shouted, "Nangong's army is approaching Chi Chi! Our army will be defeated! Brothers, it's better to make plans early and surrender in Kaicheng! General Nangong told me! Anyone who surrenders will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins! Anyone who kills Wei Hu will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!" "

The whole place was in an uproar.

"Coward!" Wei Gao shouted, UU reading www. ukanshu.net drew his sword and chopped off Niu Yunguang's head. There was total silence for a moment.

Wei Gao, holding Niu Yunguang's head, pointed his sword at the soldiers in the audience, "You guys are leaving! Just pay your wages and go! Whoever wants to take my head and earn some rewards, just come and fight!"

The soldiers below were silent for a while, and someone shouted, "Don't be ridiculous when you join the army! Your eggs are not soft yet!" "Who should I vote for?" "That's right, where will the reward come from working for Nangong? I'm beaten at every turn. Scolding, you don’t treat us as human beings at all!”

"Ha! A real man is born in heaven and earth, but only dies! Whatever you want, use the knife in your hand to get it! How can you kneel down and beg for life! Beg for alms! Bring me wine! If you have the courage to stay, do something great with someone Yes, just be ashamed of your blood!"

Wei Gao shouted angrily, threw away Niu Yunguang's head, washed the knife with wine, took a bowl full of blood wine, and raised it high to worship the sky!

"The sky is not hanging, the country is in trouble, and the rebellious ministers took advantage of the opportunity to steal the palace! But the rebels in the Nangong Palace also slapped the murderers, destroyed the city, and added cruelty, and the love reached the envoy. He didn't do anything for the superiors, so he was able to show mercy to the subordinates!

Gao used his heart and anger to not forget Di Ning, and vowed to be loyal to the royal family. All our allies will work together to eliminate evil!

The spirits of the ancestors must be praised. If you speak sincerely, your will will be united, and your sense of justice will be united; if your bones are broken and your body is broken, you will never care!

If you have this ambition in Chongqing, the Ming Dynasty will kill it and pass it on to your descendants without leaving it to others. The emperor, the emperor, and the queen are here to speak! "

He drank the bowl of blood wine in one gulp, and Yin Hong's mouth was covered with blood drops, as if a tiger had just appetized.

"Wei Hu..."

Li Fan stood on the eaves and looked at the large group of rough southern barbarian men in the Protector's Mansion who, although they didn't quite understand what he said, were so angry and excited that they swarmed up and killed animals and took their blood. They vowed to work together to serve the country and sighed. Take a breath.

Tigers will eat people after all...
