Origin

At this time, the sun had set, and dinner had already been prepared in the canteen of the military camp. Wu Zhongyuan's visit was a temporary inspection. The Northern Army camp had not prepared any special preparations in advance. The dinner was the same as usual, it was rice porridge. To be precise, it was adulterated. Meat porridge with vegetables and minced meat.

At this time, it was different from modern times. People usually only had two meals a day, including the army. When there were no combat missions, they also had two meals a day. In the morning, they ate dry rice because they needed to work and train during the day, so they needed something solid in their stomachs. . At night, I eat porridge and go to bed after eating. When I fall asleep, I won't feel hungry.

To be fair, the meat porridge at the Beijun camp is pretty good. The rice in it is all fine grains that have been crushed and shelled. The vegetables are also very fresh, and there is also a lot of minced meat. The so-called minced meat is actually stewed and rotten meat.

It can be seen that the captain in charge of logistics supplies is still very responsible. Wu Zhongyuan did not fault the dinner, but he issued three orders. First, the food in the Sifang Camp was changed from one meal and one porridge to two meals a day. Second, in the future, the tributes of grain, meat, vegetables, and other tributes sent to the royal family from various places will be directly divided into five parts. The royal family will keep 20% for itself, and the remaining 80% will be distributed to the four major camps. Third, all garrisoned soldiers will take turns to take vacation before the end of the year, distribute their travel expenses, and return home on horseback. Each person will take half a month's vacation.

The three imperial edicts made the garrison soldiers panic and didn't know why.

Zhu Qianwei is a discerning person and knows the profound meaning of Wu Zhongyuan's move. In the future, when the beasts from all directions die, these soldiers will face the gods, ghosts and demons, and most of the soldiers will die here. Wu Zhongyuan arranged this to let These soldiers were able to live a good life for a few days before the war, taste tribute specialties from various places, and return home on horseback to see their families.

Although Zhu Qianwei saw Wu Zhongyuan's intention, it was not convenient for him to preach in public on his behalf. Wu Zhongyuan could only say these words to the soldiers in person.

But what Zhu Qianwei didn't expect was that Wu Zhongyuan didn't explain much, but said in a deep voice, "Escape from the battlefield, kill the three clans."

Everyone stood solemnly when they heard this and responded in unison.

Wu Zhongyuan did not stay in the dining hall to eat with the soldiers and lieutenants. Instead, he took Zhu Qianwei and others to Beiguan to worship Xuanwu, read out the poem, and remember the merits.

When Wu Zhongyuan read the poem, Xuanwu dived underwater. After Wu Zhongyuan finished reading the poem, Xuanwu slowly emerged from the water, nodded slowly to Wu Zhongyuan and others, and after observing all etiquette, he dived down again and hid.

After the worship was completed, everyone went about their own business. Jiang Nan also left the camp and headed to Lianshan. It was nominally to visit his mother, but in fact, he was explaining to Jiang Tao why Wu Zhongyuan wanted to kill Jiang Baili. After all, Jiang Baili was the Taixuan master of the Niu tribe. It is easy for him to arouse the suspicion of the Niu people.

Wu Zhongyuan and Zhu Qianwei talked behind closed doors in the commander's mansion. After the four mythical beasts return, the Sifang camp will take on the important task of intercepting the four paths of gods, ghosts and demons.

Zhu Qianwei is the person in charge of this matter, and Wu Zhongyuan must listen to his opinions and ideas.

The number of garrison troops in the Sifang Camp was decided after the two discussed earlier. The establishment of 10,000 people is relatively ideal, and the number of garrison troops does not need to be changed. What the two discussed this time was mainly about the specific methods of defensive interception, including Tiangang Issues such as the equipment of crossbows and ground bows, the use of firearms, and the setting of defense lines.

The role of the four mythical beasts is not to maintain the seal, but to use their own spiritual energy to set up a spiritual barrier to intercept and kill the four gods, ghosts and demons when the seal is loosened. The end of this year is the last time limit for the seal to be completely eliminated. By then The seal will disappear completely, and the wormhole will always be open. At that time, it will also be the deadline for the four mythical beasts. The four mythical beasts will all die and return to the sky. Without their protection, the four gods, ghosts and demons that have been sealed for many years will naturally The time and space on the other side of the wormhole rushes in crazily.

Wu Zhongyuan had seen the opening of the Nanguan wormhole before. The diameter of the wormhole can reach three feet. Three feet is approximately equal to ten meters. This is a big gap. Many people have no intuitive concept of ten meters. Modern rural bungalows are basically There are four rooms on top, eleven meters long and five meters wide. The wormhole opened is basically the same size as a house and is as high as three floors.

With such a big gap, it is extremely difficult to intercept and snipe. The Tiangang Crossbow can fire thirty-six thick arrows at a time, while the Disha Bow can fire seventy-two smaller arrows at a time. These two heavy weapons are used for defense. In addition to the main force, they must also be equipped with bows, arrows, firearms and grease. When necessary, gunpowder and grease can be thrown into the other side of the wormhole for bombing and burning.

The two of them were deliberating on similar issues, including the equipment of wizards, which Wu Ao and others had been struggling with for many years. There were not many high-level wizards in the Bear Clan, but he had previously tested the Five Elements in the Warriors of the Three Tribes. When they joined, they were tested for their bloodlines, and more than one hundred and twenty pure Yang and pure Yin bloodlines were selected. These new wizards have no hope of being promoted to the Purple Qi within a year, but they can try their best. Help them advance to the Light Blue Cave Mystery. As long as they can use the Wrath of Thunder, these wizards can go to the Sifang Camp to participate in interception and sniping.

In addition to this, there are several other problems. One of them is that the diameter of the wormhole is very large, as high as three stories. In addition to ground defense, there must also be sufficient air defense capabilities, in case something emerges from the wormhole. What should I do if the gods, ghosts and demons run towards the sky?

The task of air defense can only be left to the purple energy masters of the three tribes. The armor of the high-level warriors of the bird tribe has its own wings, which can spread its wings and fly into the sky. The Bear Clan has golden eagles and other birds, while the Purple Qi masters of the Ox Clan can turn into birds and lift off the ground. When it comes to a critical moment, most of the Purple Qi masters, including the major city lords, have to go to all directions to participate in the interception.

Wu Zhongyuan is the king, and Zhu Qianwei is the handsome man. Wu Zhongyuan has nothing to hide from Zhu Qianwei, and has told Zhu Qianwei any emergency plans. Currently, he holds two and a half aces, one is Qiongqi, Qiongqi had shown great power in the South China Sea before, and the Jade Void Red Dragon named Ao Yu was madly bitten and killed by him. This shows that Qiongqi's strength is at least above Tailing, and Qiongqi can stand alone at critical moments.

The second trump card is Bagua Qianyang. Bagua Qianyang is currently arranged by him near Youxiong. Its purpose is to completely isolate Youxiong from the outside world at a critical moment. Bagua Qianyang has many ways to set up the formation. As a last resort, you can Use Bagua Qianyang to form an array to seal one of them.

The last half of the trump card is himself. Now that he has been promoted to Yuxu, he can intensify his Qi training in the next period of time and strive to be promoted to Tailing before the end of the year. If necessary, he can only fight in person.

After listening to Wu Zhongyuan's words, Zhu Qianwei frowned and pondered. After a long time, he said, "Have you ever thought that passive defense is not a long-term solution?"

"Of course I have thought about it," Wu Zhongyuan said, "If we want long-term peace and stability, we must re-seal them. The method of sealing is in the mysterious gold slips hidden in the psychic weapon, but it is extremely difficult to deduce and understand, and there is not enough time."

The two had talked about this matter before. Zhu Qianwei was not surprised when he heard what Wu Zhongyuan said. He asked again, "Can we push the front army to another world and garrison it from another world so that they cannot attack calmly?" ?”

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "We don't know what the situation is like in the other world. If we enter it rashly, there will be too many variables."

Zhu Qianwei nodded and said no more.

"I am busy with trivial matters and have no time to take care of them all. I will leave the Sifang Camp to you. After Jiang Baili's incident, no one will dare to despise and offend you." Wu Zhongyuan picked up the teapot and poured tea for Zhu Qianwei.

Zhu Qianwei stood up in fear and wanted to take the teapot from Wu Zhongyuan's hand and replace it, but Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand to stop him, "You are running around and working hard, I will send you a deputy."

Zhu Qianwei didn't know why and tilted his head in confusion.

Wu Zhongyuan put down the teapot, raised his hand to Zhu Qianwei, motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "This person's name is Wu Chen. He has been stationed in Weushui Longze in the past few years. Now that Longdao has sunk, this person is temporarily unemployed. Things have always been free in Xionghoushan."

"Is this person a boy or girl?" Zhu Qianwei asked.

"Female." Wu Zhongyuan smiled.

If Wu Zhongyuan hadn't smiled, Zhu Qianwei wouldn't have been able to guess what he wanted to do for a while. When Wu Zhongyuan smiled, he immediately understood what Wu Zhongyuan wanted to do, because Wu Zhongyuan had previously restricted him to remarry within half a year.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but the Sifang Camp has just been built and there are not many affairs. The humble position does not require a deputy for the time being." Zhu Qianwei shook his head.

"Wu Chen is my aunt." Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile.

Zhu Qianwei became even more embarrassed when he heard this, blushed and shook his head, "I really don't need it."

"I have made up my mind..."

Before Wu Zhongyuan could finish speaking, Zhu Qianwei shook his head and interrupted him, "What the Holy Father said before is only one month from now, and it is still far from half a year."

"Are you serious that you don't want a deputy?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile. He wanted to find a husband for his sister-in-law. Although Wu Chen was not a few years older than him, she was already considered an old girl at the age of twenty-six or seven.

"Beizhi really has no intention of doing this. Besides, Beizhi and the eldest princess are not familiar with each other..." Zhu Qianwei hesitated.

Seeing Zhu Qianwei hesitate to speak, Wu Zhongyuan vaguely guessed something, "Who are you familiar with?"

"This, this..." Zhu Qianwei blushed.

"Haha, tell me, who do you like?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a laugh.

Zhu Qianwei waved his hands in panic, "No, no, the body of my wife who died in humble position is not cold..."

"How long has it been?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned and waved his hands, "This is not about restraint and filial piety. I don't care. If you don't find it yourself, I will grant you a marriage, so that you will not have no worries and seek death."

"With a humble position and receiving favor from the emperor, there is no reason to seek death," Zhu Qianwei shook his head and said, "You are not joking. The Holy Father has previously limited it to half a year. How can you change the order overnight and force others to do it?"

Wu Zhongyuan also knew that he was chasing a duck to sell it. Zhu Qianwei himself really had no intention of continuing the relationship. He was forced to be anxious and had no choice but to look for it. However, looking at Zhu Qianwei's expression, he should have already had a general goal.

After thinking for a while, Wu Zhongyuan guessed who Zhu Qianwei liked. Zhu Qianwei didn't have much contact with people in the Central Plains, but he had sent Li Wanzi to Kaicheng to meet Zhu Qianwei before, and the two had many contacts. Li Wanzi was in charge of the official department at this time, and Zhu Qianwei selected troops and generals, and had more dealings with the official department.

"What's your impression of Li Wanzi?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, tilting his head.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhu Qianwei's eyes were wandering and he looked around nervously.

"Haha, I know it." Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile, Li Wanzi is also an old girl, and her sister-in-law can't marry, so she can marry her off...
