This martial saint is too generous

In Guilu Mountain, the disciples endured hardships, fought tragically, and fought with high blood.

The disciple behaved crazily in an attempt to gain recognition from his masters.

Once you are looked upon by a certain master, you may become famous in the future.

However, the disciples could not see the situation outside Guilu Mountain.

In fact, there was already chaos outside the mountain, and the five masters had already left early in the middle of the third area.

The people currently in charge of the trial are three senior masters.

Even so, the three masters had dark faces, looking worried about the country and the people.

"This time, the imperial capital is really threatened!"

"Sigh... Who would have thought that all seven cities in Zhongjiang would fall within ten days? It's simply unbelievable."

"Danger! Danger! Danger! The loss of the seven cities of Zhongjiang is like a long knife inserted into the heart of Zhongzhou. The Yingxiong Kingdom is fierce, and the army is pointing directly at Kyoto. There is no natural chasm to defend along the way. What should we do!"

The master in the middle holds a teacup in his hand.

But he didn't care at all. The tea soup was already cold and the teacup was tilted.

Some of the deacons from the nearby academy also had ugly expressions on their faces, and there were also a few older disciples who also had solemn expressions.

Let the young people act desperate in Guilu Mountain, but in fact no one cares at all.

…

The main hall of the academy.

The five masters were sitting in the center, and the remaining masters were sitting on both sides. Everyone had solemn expressions. The solemn and huge hall looked like the enemy had already arrived at the city. It actually gave people a suffocating feeling as if all the air had been sucked out.

Not long ago, the Academy received an urgent tip. The Yingxiong Kingdom secretly assembled the seven countries to form a vast coalition. They attacked from the east and west, and deceived Zhongzhou's most elite Nanmen Army to the northern border. Then the overwhelming coalition turned their guns and headed directly towards Zhongzhou. The richest central hinterland penetrates directly.

The army guarding the seven cities of Zhongjiang is the most prestigious iron army in Zhongzhou: Zhongjiang Army.

Back then, before the late Emperor raised his troops to seize power, he was the commander-in-chief of the Zhongjiang Army.

Even if it dates back to the previous dynasty, the Zhongjiang Army is known as the first divine army in Zhongzhou. It is a huge iron army that scares all countries in the world. No one dares to touch its bad luck.

In the past decade or so, Zhongzhou's national fortunes have declined, and border wars have occurred frequently. But even so, no country dares to provoke Zhongjiang's army.

Just twenty years ago, the Zhongjiang Army dispatched only two legions and directly destroyed a small country that provoked Zhongzhou.

That battle back then was as fast as lightning, and the Zhongjiang Army's tactical coordination was as exquisite as thunder falling, destroying everything. It was impossible for any country in the world to stand in its way.

You must know that the small country that was destroyed back then did not have no foreign aid. At that time, thirteen countries sent foreign aid corps.

Even so, Zhongzhou didn't care at all.

Zhongjiang Army doesn't care either.

How about the Thirteen Kingdoms?

How about the Thirty-Three Kingdoms?

Even if you come to three hundred countries, why should Zhongzhou be afraid?

Heads rolled and blood flowed like rivers. In just ten days, a country was reduced to ruins from top to bottom. No one in the royal family of that small country escaped the pursuit. Even the prince in disguise was caught and executed on the spot.

After that battle, it was an eternal truth that Zhongzhou Zhongjiang's army was number one in the world.

All countries that invade Zhongzhou will also subconsciously avoid Zhongjiang's army.

Within the Zhongjiang Army, there are also many experts. In addition, the Zhongjiang Army is a legion of the royal family. As long as the court has the latest elixirs or weapons, they will be shipped to the Zhongjiang Army as soon as possible.

It is precisely because the Zhongjiang Army is so terrifying that the information at this moment is unacceptable.

The reason why the Nanmen Army dared to move the whole army was because the central hinterland was guarded by the Zhongjiang Army. They had no worries at all and were prepared to surround Yingxiong Kingdom on the northern front and fight a beautiful battle of annihilation.

Who would have thought that the Zhongjiang Army, which was once the number one army in the world, would be as weak as clay and vulnerable to a single blow.

…

"Zhongjiang Army's 700,000-strong army was killed and fled. The whole army was wiped out in ten days. Why on earth is this!"

Jiang Wutai was trembling with anger.

When he served the late emperor, the late emperor was just a young boy. At that time, Jiang Wutai could also be said to be a member of the Zhongjiang Army.

Although he was a eunuch and not a real soldier, Jiang Wutai never hesitated when he charged into battle.

After sitting in Yuzhi Academy for so many years, Jiang Wutai's only thoughts in his heart were his time in Zhongjiang Army.

Many old brothers have passed away.

There are also some old guys still alive. When Jiang Wutai is bored, he will go to these old guys for a drink.

Of course, sometimes some old things disappear every few years, which is a bit sad.

"Zhongjiang's army was defeated across the board, and all seven cities in Zhongjiang were lost."

"Hundreds of millions of people are besieged by the Yingxiong Kingdom. Countless people are in danger. A large part of the key central state's granaries, medicine warehouses, iron warehouses, iron mines...are located in these seven cities!"

Yuan Jingci also gritted his teeth and his arms trembled involuntarily.

The Yuan family were nobles, and they didn't care much about the lives of ordinary people. However, among the besieged people, there were countless nobles from the dynasty.

In particular, their Yuan family's industries are heavily concentrated in the Seven Cities of Zhongjiang.

Because the Seven Cities of Zhongjiang were guarded by the strongest iron army in the world, the Yuan family made a lot of money.

Now that the seven cities of Zhongjiang have been lost, the Yuan family's losses can be said to be cut in half. How can Yuan Jingci not be worried.

"That doesn't make sense!"

"It makes absolutely no sense!"

"The Seven Cities of Zhongjiang have always been prosperous. In recent years, the weather has been good. Various industries have flourished. Zhongjiang's army of one million can even be self-sufficient without spending money from the national treasury."

"How could such a wealthy legion, where almost everyone has armor and equipment, be completely defeated in ten days? This is simply impossible!"

Ji Shouxiang stood up, took two steps, and then sat back down. His entire face was darker than ink.

The other seat masters also looked confused.

There are many doubts.

You know, when the legion is fighting, the biggest problem is pay.

With the money and money, the soldiers have the motivation to fight hard. Coupled with the well-equipped pills and equipment, this kind of iron army is basically invincible.

Although the Yingxiong Kingdom has been aggressive in recent years, the country's biggest shortcoming is the lack of armor elixirs. In the past, they fought with all their strength. They may be able to harass the border, but even if they break the sky, it is impossible to defeat the Zhongjiang Army.

How can it be defeated?

Why did it fail?

"hehe……"

"The defeat of the Zhongjiang Army has actually been traced for a long time."

At this moment, someone suddenly stood up and sneered twice. He didn't know whether he was mocking himself or Zhong Jiangjun.

"Bai Taikong?"

"Who are you? Is there any room for you to speak here?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Yuan Jingci was the first to be unable to hold back and just pointed at his nose and cursed.

Yuan Jingci knew Bai Taikong's purpose of coming to Yuzhi Academy.

Kill yourself.

The beast looked at him as if he were looking at a corpse.

The eldest princess was indeed secretly killed by the Yuan family. Of course, there was no evidence of her death. There is currently no evidence pointing to the Yuan family.

Who makes the eldest princess like to be nosy?

In the palace, the eldest princess always opposed Concubine Yuan. When she left the palace, she targeted the Yuan family's property everywhere.

The Yuan family was too soft and showed too much weakness, but the eldest princess intensified her efforts and insisted on putting the Yuan family to death. Since only one of the two parties can survive, why can't it be the Yuan family?

Perhaps, the emperor also knew that the death of the eldest princess was related to the Yuan family.

But so what?

The Holy Emperor has so many heirs. Compared with the stability of the throne, what is a mere princess?

Of course, she is a princess after all, everyone is dead, and the Yuan family is also preparing to hibernate for a while, so Bai Taikong came to Yuzhi Academy. The Yuan family did not make any move. Yuan Jingci even dodged everywhere, only asking Bai Taikong to Leave as soon as possible.

But at this time, the Seventh City of Zhongjiang fell into the enemy's country, and 80% of his own property was in the city. His heart was already irritable. When Bai Taikong jumped out, he was simply seeking death.

"Hmph, what is it? Since he can stand here, he is the master of Zhongzhou. What's more, Bai Taikong is the son-in-law of the Holy Emperor. If you openly insult the consort, is it because you are dissatisfied with the Holy Emperor?"

Fang Xianglin raised his eyelids and asked calmly.

The Fang family also has properties in the Seven Cities of Zhongjiang, but the number is not large. It is not that the Fang family has no interest in the Seven Cities of Zhongjiang. The main reason is that the Yuan family has been deeply involved in that area for many years, and the Fang family will not be able to get involved at all for a while.

Good fortune and misfortune are unpredictable.

Who could have imagined that the prosperous and prosperous Seven Cities of Zhongjiang would fall.

Fang Xianglin is not one to gloat over misfortune. All the Fang family's properties are around Kyoto. Now that the seven cities of Zhongjiang have been lost, if you are not careful, the Yingxiong army will advance straight in. Kyoto may fall in a month at most.

He just habitually looked down on Yuan Jingci.

"Shut up, everyone, what time is it? Why are you still arguing!"

"Bai Taikong, tell me...what do you mean by "there are traces to follow"?

Jiang Wutai scolded, and finally looked at Bai Taikong.

In Yuzhi Academy, the person with the most power on the surface is Jiang Wutai, who represents the emperor.

When the eldest princess was very young, she often played in Jiang Wutai's yard. In the dense palace, the rules were strict. The emperor favored the princes, and the princesses only had enough food and clothing to live in, so they didn't get much attention.

The eldest princess is naughty, Jiang Wutai is laid-back, and the relationship between the two is the closest.

When the late emperor was still alive, he granted the eldest princess the title of Jiang Wutai's personal disciple.

Even though the eldest princess came to Yuzhi Academy this time as an imperial envoy, she was a woman after all. On the surface, she had a reputation for righteousness. It was she who came to serve her mentor, and secondly, she came to sit in Yuzhi Academy.

In Jiang Wutai's heart, the eldest princess actually has the same status as his granddaughter.

Jiang Wutai spoke to the emperor more than once, hoping that the Yuzhi Academy could be run by the eldest princess, but he never got the emperor's approval.

The eldest princess was killed, and Jiang Wutai stood on the top of the mountain all night. After he left the next day, all the plants on half of the mountain withered, and even snakes, insects, rats, and ants could not survive, as if there was some miasma.

In fact, Bai Taikong was able to successfully come to Yuzhi Academy because Jiang Wutai was also behind it.

When the princess chose her consort, Jiang Wutai secretly observed that he was lonely all his life and had no heirs, so the princess's marriage was more important than anything else.

In the end, Bai Taikong also got Jiang Wutai's nod.

In fact, Jiang Wutai looked down on Bai Taikong at first, because he was just a sour scholar with a stubborn personality, but he and the princess did have true feelings. For the princess, he would give up all his fame and wealth and be willing to be a consort.

Jiang Wutai helped Bai Taikong come to Yuzhi Academy to use his help to investigate the murderer behind the assassination of the eldest princess.

Of course, Jiang Wutai's revenge is completely different from Bai Taikong's.

Bai Taikong can only kill his enemies with his own hands.

And Jiang Wutai wanted to destroy a family.

Even if...you are from the Yuan family.

Or, you are a Fang family member.

…

Everyone's eyes fell on Bai Taikong, waiting for his explanation.

"You will be rich if you succeed, and you will be rich if you fail!"

"The Zhongjiang Army does not need the national treasury, and they even have to hand in silver to the national treasury every year... But if you think about it carefully, the officers and soldiers of the Zhongjiang Army do not have any land. They have to practice daily and have no time to do other things. The money is from Where did it come from? Millions of troops, white money, did it fall from the sky?"

"How many years have passed since the battle that made the Zhongjiang Army famous?"

"What on earth have the Zhongjiang Army been doing for so many years?"

"Haha, actually you all know it in your heart! The soldiers are doing business... Up and down, from the generals and commanders to the lower-level soldiers, everyone is doing business and buying houses and shops."

"Did you know that in the seven most affluent cities in Zhongjiang, the land price has exceeded that of the imperial capital, and some manors have eclipsed even the imperial capital. These seven cities are known to foreigners as heaven and earth, and the girls in the brothels are even in the imperial capital. I don’t even look down on it.”

"The Zhongjiang Army in the Seven Cities of Zhongjiang is a country within a country. As long as you are a soldier, you will have a lot of money. And if you are in this gold-selling cave, who will remember the drill? The generals are desperately trying to get money, and their eyes are full of money. It’s all money, who knows how to organize troops?”

"The officers and soldiers in the army are so fat, how can they fight against the thugs of the Yingxiong Kingdom who are like tigers and wolves?"

Bai Taikong shook his head, sneered again, and continued: "Business is just that, but do you know what the most profitable business is?"

This time, Bai Taikong's expression was even more desperate:

"Reselling strategic materials."

"The Zhongjiang Army saves the national treasury a lot of military expenses, and because it is the first army in Zhongzhou, the strongest and most powerful elixir weapons will be delivered to the Zhongjiang Army first."

"And what are our soldiers doing?"

"Reselling these treasures!"

"The Yingxiong Kingdom has beautiful foreign girls, fine wine, and precious stones... but they lack the foundation of Zhongzhou and the strongest weapons."

"When the Yingxiong Kingdom comes over, the weapons and elixirs of the Zhongjiang Army have been replaced by beauties and wine, so what will they use to fight?"

"Apart from surrendering before the battle, apart from offering up the city to stay alive, what else can these people do?"

boom!

Speaking of being angry, Bai Taikong punched the table.

In fact, many people in Beijing have seen the corruption of the Zhongjiang Army, and some officials from Yushitai risked their lives to remonstrate.

hateful……

Zhongzhou was besieged from both sides, with enemy troops on all sides, and the treasury was stretched thin.

At this time, every little bit of savings is worth it. Not only does the Zhongjiang Army not need money, but they also donate money every year. Even if the emperor knows that there is a problem with the Zhongjiang Army, he can only suppress it temporarily.

Of course, the emperor was not a fool. He sent people to investigate.

He could allow Zhongjiang Jun to go too far, but not too much.

It's a pity that under the airtight network of interests, all officials are colluding, and everyone at the top and bottom is taking advantage of it. If the officials of Yushitai are bribed or assassinated, no one dares to tell the truth.

Eventually, this cancer becomes bigger and bigger.

No one thought that the Seven Cities of Zhongjiang would really fall.

But in fact, the hardest part of Zhongzhou is actually its biggest weakness.

Bai Taikong still remembers the events in the Seven Cities of Zhongjiang, and the reason is also related to the princess.

Everyone in the harem knew that the princess and Concubine Yuan had a grudge.

But the beginning of the feud was when the princess repeatedly asked the emperor to change the Zhongjiang Army.

However, the base camp of the Yuan family is in the Seventh City of Zhongjiang.

It was a country within a country. How could the Yuan family let a mere imperial envoy get involved, let alone Concubine Yuan? So she turned a deaf ear to the emperor every day, and eventually the two became enemies.

So that...

well……

Even the princess was going to be assassinated, so a mere imperial envoy meant nothing.

This huge Zhongzhou is rotten to the bones.

…

The whole place was silent.

Fang Xianglin stared at Yuan Jingci.

Yuan family.

These are all good things done by the Yuan family.

"Alas... the matter has come to this, there is no point in talking more!"

Suddenly, Jiang Wutai sighed.

The reason is very simple.

But no one can turn back time, even if they go back to the past, who can change the dilapidated situation of the Zhongjiang Army.

"Go to the border between Jade City and Zhongzhang City. If there are no accidents, the next battle for Yingxiong Kingdom is to go to Jade City... We still have three days at most. Everyone, please think of countermeasures."

These words from Jiang Wutai's mouth are the key points.

Yuzhi Academy is located in the hinterland of Zhongzhou. In the past, no matter how chaotic the border was, it was still thousands of miles away from here.

Who would have thought that the seven cities of Zhongjiang would be lost.

Not to mention Xiaoxiao's trip to Yucheng, even the imperial capital was exposed to the opponent's sword.
