Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

Chapter 269 Super Central Plains People

Three days later, Jicheng was peaceful.

Inside the Protectorate, everyone held their breath, waiting for Ye Qingzhou's order.

"Junfeng, has the Tianlang tribe returned the people and property they abducted?"

"Master, no."

"Very good, I admire their courage."

Ye Qingzhou opened his starry eyes, and dazzling light suddenly shone out. The powerful mental power almost became material, making the air in the martial arts hall condense.

Spiritual energy was injected into Ye Qingzhou's body from the spiritual world, causing his essence, energy, and spirit to undergo continuous transformation. With the expansion of the Xinwu Sect and his growing reputation in Youzhou, the Xinwu Sect was becoming more and more powerful.

The original trickle has now turned into a gurgling stream, and the stream is gradually developing in the direction of a river, making Ye Qingzhou's cultivation grow stronger every minute.

It can be said that the people's support in Youzhou has become the source of Ye Qingzhou's strength.

Therefore, no one can harm the interests of the people of Youzhou, not even the crappy princes of the Daliang court, and not even the barbarians from outside the Great Wall, the Tianlang clan!
Ye Qingzhou looked at Nie Shixiong and asked, "How many soldiers have been trained now?"

Nie Shixiong quickly bowed and replied: "Master, we have trained 112 people, all of whom are brave warriors who have successfully broken through the gate."

"That's enough."

Ye Qingzhou nodded, fully approving of Nie Shixiong's achievements.

The Nie family is a military family from Liaodong. They have a tradition of military tactics and are best at training soldiers, especially cavalry.

The so-called Wu Zu are outer disciples who joined the Xinwu Sect. They inherited part of Ye Qingzhou's martial arts and successfully broke the limits of the human body. They possess super endurance, super strength and super agility.

Ye Qingzhou combined the secret techniques of "Qi Men Dun Jia" to crack the mystery of life and created a body training method that can continuously break the limits of the human body - Eight Gates Golden Lock.

There are eight doors in total: Kaimen, Xiumen, Shengmen, Shangmen, Dumen, Jingmen, Simen and Jingmen. Every time you break a golden lock, you can pass through the door and let the physical body get closer to the spiritual world.

When you break through the last door of shock, you will be able to completely break free from all the restraints on your body, break the last golden lock of life, enter the realm of transcendence, and become a saint in the flesh.

Ye Qingzhou is already invincible in the Cang Yuan Realm. He can sweep across the world by himself and destroy thousands of troops with a flick of the hand. He actually doesn't need an army.

But the way of Xinwu needs to grow stronger, so the Xinwu Sect wants to recruit disciples and turn the sons of fortune in the Cangyuan Realm into its own disciples to fleece their fortune.

At the same time, the power of thought is also a great help to the way of mind martial arts, so Ye Qingzhou needs a stable social order and a reasonable distribution system to support more people.

Even more, Ye Qingzhou needs to constantly select people with qualifications and perseverance from the large population, teach them the Xinwu Sect's skills, and strengthen the power and influence of the entire sect.

The way of mind martial arts is to pursue that everyone can be like a dragon, and only those who are capable can take the throne!
Soon, 112 soldiers were gathered and stood on the parade ground. They were like steel statues, standing proudly in the wind, unmoved.

They wore armor made of three kinds of materials, wielded crossbows weighing twelve stones, carried fifty arrows on their backs, placed spears on top of their arrows, wore helmets and carried swords. They had enough food for three days, could travel eight hundred miles a day on foot, and could run as fast as a galloping horse.

"The barbarians outside the Great Wall refuse to obey the king's rule, invade our territory, and kill and plunder our people. What should we do?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The shouts of more than a hundred people shook the sky. A surge of momentum, like a raging flame, dyed the clouds within a ten-mile radius red.

On that day, Ye Qingzhou personally led one hundred Wuzu and two thousand cavalry to attack the grassland.

When King Chong learned that Ye Qingzhou attacked without asking for his permission, he was so angry that he almost broke his hands.

"Lawless! This vulgar warrior is really rebellious! Someone, come and prepare paper and ink, I want to report him!"

Afterwards, King Chong began to report to the court that he was pursuing a policy of appeasement in Youzhou. He did not have the courage to suppress the rebellion of the Tianlang tribe, but he had the courage to engage in political struggle and it was great.

The two thousand cavalrymen were led by Nie Shixiong and Wang Junfeng respectively. They all had cavalrymen from the Tianlang tribe and were very familiar with the terrain of the grassland, so they would not get lost.

Ye Qingzhou did not discriminate against these foreign soldiers of barbarian origin. Instead, he treated them equally and was even willing to teach them martial arts.

Therefore, these foreign soldiers were all willing to serve Ye Qingzhou and act as guides, working harder than the people from the Central Plains.

Liu Chang, who went on the expedition with Ye Qingzhou, has now become a disciple of Xinwu Sect. He is very puzzled by this: "Master, those who are not of our race must have different hearts. I am worried that these Tianlang people are unreliable."

Ye Qingzhou didn't care much, "Xinwu Sect teaches everyone without distinction, and doesn't discriminate based on bloodline. Although they are of Diyi origin, as long as they are willing to enter the Central Plains and accept civilized education, they are Central Plains people. I want to destroy the Tianlang clan, not because they are barbarians, but because they raised an army to invade the Central Plains, do you understand?"

Liu Chang was sincerely convinced: "Disciple understands."

The news soon spread in the army, and the morale of the troops immediately boosted. Everyone agreed with Ye Qingzhou's ideas.

This recognition is also strengthening the power of the mind-martial arts.

The way of mind martial arts is the convergence of mind and belief. "Martial arts" is only a means to achieve it, and Tao is the real goal.

Ye Qingzhou is not a bloodthirsty person, and the way of mind martial arts is not the evil way of slaughtering the world with blood. Therefore, in addition to practicing martial arts, he also needs to cultivate his mind and understand why he wields his sword.

…………

Wanlang Tianshan is where the royal court of the Tianlang clan is located.

The leaders of the five major tribes gathered together today to hold a meeting of the five kings.

The five kings, Oerilehek, the 'Akuma' of the Black Mane Tribe, Daisendari, the 'Blood Hand' of the Red Mane Tribe, Daiqin, the 'Frost Blade' of the White Mane Tribe, Lakshen, the 'Wild Bear' of the Yellow Mane Tribe, and Morigen, the 'Bow Fox' of the Green Mane Tribe, are all paying close attention to the developments in Youzhou.

"Bage brought back information that the people of the Central Plains are planning to attack the grasslands. I have already said that we should not provoke them at this time. Our time has not yet arrived."

Morigen, nicknamed 'Bow Fox', is not only an expert archer, the most famous marksman in the Tianlang clan, but also a wise man in the clan.

Morigen has admired the Central Plains culture since he was a child. When he was young, he even disguised himself as a Confucian scholar and traveled around the territory of Daliang to study. He had a certain understanding of the customs and habits of the Central Plains, and therefore could see clearly the turbulent situation in the world.

It is true that the Daliang court is weak at the moment, but the local aristocratic families and powerful clans are not weak, but even stronger. They own a large amount of land and population, and even have their own armed forces. They are a force that cannot be ignored.

Upon hearing this, Oerleheke, the 'Gouki', was disdainful and mocked Morigen, saying, "Gonghu, you are cunning but not brave enough. The people of the Central Plains have always been weak and can be bullied. For more than a hundred years, they have even had to help us fight for them. Why do you think you can occupy the fertile land on both sides of the river?"

"Well said!"

Frost Blade Daiqin looked fierce, his hand on his sword, and his tone was also very disdainful: "My sword is thirsty. The previous tests have proved that the people of the Central Plains dare not fight us at all. As long as we show a tougher attitude, they will surrender to us and agree to our conditions."

'Auki' and 'Frost Blade' were the masterminds who led their subordinates, the Wolf Cavalry, to launch the rebellion. They were the ones who secretly instigated Sun Jingwei to launch the rebellion.

At first, the two men only intended to threaten the Daliang court and demand military pay.

But they found that the tens of thousands of Central Plains soldiers and horses of the Northern Territory Protectorate were so vulnerable. Caught off guard, the defenders of Youzhou were almost defeated.

The sudden success completely ignited the ambitions of "Auki" and "Frost Blade", and the envoys they sent were intended to deceive and paralyze the new Youzhou governor.

If King Chong had easily accepted their surrender and not put forward any additional conditions, they would have known that the reinforcements from the Central Plains would not reach Youzhou.

By then, Youzhou will belong to the Tianlang tribe, and they, the descendants of the Tianlang God, will be able to own a large area of ​​high-quality grassland.

It’s a pity that two envoys were sent out, but only one Bagh returned.

This made Akuma and Frostblade unsure of the Central Plains people's intentions. Red Mane's Blood Hand Daisendari couldn't help but ask the wise man Morigen for his opinion: "Gonghu, can we fight this battle?"

The tall and burly but not very smart leader of the Yellow Mane tribe, 'Wild Bear' Lakshen, also looked at Morigen and said, "Gonghu, whether to fight or not, I will only listen to you."

Gonghu Morigen closed his eyes and pondered, hesitating in his heart as well: "King Chong dare not talk about war, it must be because the treasury of Daliang is empty and it is difficult to raise troops to the north. But someone dared to kill the envoy of my Tianlang tribe. Is this to provoke him, or to show his ability when he is incompetent?"

Morigen, who had read many military books in the Central Plains, was now in a state of confusion.

Just as he was hesitating, a scout suddenly came back to report: "It's bad. The Central Plains people led their troops into the grassland. Within three days, they have slaughtered 21 settlements of our Tianlang tribe!"

The Sirius tribe is a nomadic civilization. On weekdays, the people do not gather together, but are distributed in the form of "settlements" to graze on various grasslands.

Larger settlements have a population of about 30,000 people and often occupy the best grasslands. There are rivers nearby, with abundant grass and water, and herds of cattle and sheep.

In smaller settlements, there are only a dozen or so herdsmen and less than a hundred people.

But this time it was different. Among the twenty-one destroyed settlements, there were two with a population of over ten thousand. Such a loss not only made the leaders of the five major tribes feel painful, but also made them frightened.

"How many troops did the Central Plains people send?"

"two thousand."

"How many?"

Frost Blade Daisendari, who was a little worried at first, laughed out loud: "With only two thousand soldiers, they dare to attack us. These people from the Central Plains really don't know how to live or die."

"Kill them all!"

Upon learning that the number of enemies was only two thousand, the noble generals of the four tribes, Black Mane, White Mane, Red Mane and Yellow Mane, all smiled happily. Aren't these few people just here to deliver food?

Only Mo Rigen, the bow fox of the Green Mane Tribe, frowned and asked, "Could this be a trick?"

"You wise men tend to overthink. No matter if he is deceiving us or not, let's eat up his two thousand soldiers first. Even if the Central Plains people have some tricks, can't our four-legged cavalry outrun their two-legged infantry?"

'Bloody Hand' Daisendari showed a cruel and hideous smile. He liked to rip open the stomachs of his enemies and then use his hands to pluck out their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs and kidneys while they were still alive.

Only with such blood-stained hands can he hold power tightly in his hands and gain the respect of his subordinates and enemies: "I heard that the person leading the attack this time is a famous general from the Central Plains who has recently gained fame in Youzhou. It is said that his name is Ye Zhou. I want to pluck out his heart with my own hands! Let all the Central Plains people in Youzhou fear the iron hoof of our Tianlang tribe!"

Rumble~
The thunderous sound of horse hooves drifted in the wind across the wilderness, reaching the distant horizon.

Over the past few days, Ye Qingzhou has been on the move, successively breaking through the settlements of the Tianlang tribe. Wherever he went, the entire grassland was dyed red with blood. He fought tooth for tooth, blood for blood, and made these nomadic livestock that believed in the law of the jungle die under even greater violence.

This is called asking for a hammer and getting a hammer. You can't just hold up the banner of socialism when you kill others and say that this is the law of the jungle, and then cry out for injustice when you get stabbed?
Wang Junfeng, his armor stained with blood, rode his horse to Ye Qingzhou and said, "Master, according to the scouts' report, the Heavenly Wolf King Court should have known about our arrival. They are gathering troops and want to surround us from all sides and trap and kill us."

"Haha~"

Ye Qingzhou smiled coldly: "It's a reasonable tactic, but it happened to us."

The one hundred Wuzu were all super warriors who broke through the door. They possessed the strong physique of professional martial artists. They were covered in three layers of armor. Even without riding horses, they were enough to become heavy tanks on the battlefield in the cold weapon era.

In the battles of the past few days, almost all frontal attacks were carried out by the Wuzu, while the two thousand cavalry led by Wang Junfeng and Nie Shixiong were basically responsible for cleaning the battlefield and looting supplies.

After more than thirty battles of varying sizes, more than two thousand enemies had been killed in the battle. So what was the casualty rate of these one hundred and twelve soldiers?
zero.

The most serious injury was just a slight scratch on the skin by the enemy's arrow on the battlefield, without even bleeding.

Wang Junfeng and Nie Shixiong, who were accompanying him on the expedition, looked at Ye Qingzhou with enthusiasm, respecting him as if he were a god: "Yes, times have changed. The future will belong to the world of martial arts. Ordinary soldiers will only be slaughtered when they encounter the warriors of our Shenwu Army."

Nie Shixiong came from a family of generals, so he knew even more clearly how extraordinary the existence of Wuzu was.

The existing army has no power to fight back against the soldiers who practice the Xinwu Sect's martial arts. If they encounter them on the battlefield, it will inevitably be a one-sided massacre.

The Wu Zu only broke the first golden lock and passed through the first door!
After opening the door, there are still seven doors: Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Si and Jing!
Nie Shixiong's heart was burning with excitement. An unprecedented road had appeared under his feet. As long as he followed Ye Qingzhou, he would be famous for generations to come.

"Junfeng and I are both third-level warriors who have broken through the wound gate. He has obtained the magical power of bronze skin and iron bones, and I have obtained the magical power of dragon spirit and tiger ferocity. In terms of combat power alone, both of us are capable of fighting against thousands of enemies. As for Master, he can even treat thousands of enemies as nothing. With such martial power, is there anyone in the world who can stop it?"

At this moment, Nie Shixiong felt as if he had witnessed the arrival of a new era: "From now on, in the Central Plains, I'm afraid that only those who have reached the pinnacle of martial arts can become the emperor."

Ye Qingzhou rushed forward all the way, but when his troops reached the outskirts of Wanlang Tianshan Mountain, he suddenly stopped, set up camp, and no longer advanced.

Gonghu Morigen believed that this was a sign that Ye Qingzhou's fighting spirit had been exhausted and the morale and energy of the troops were weak, so this was a normal assessment.

After all, normal humans have physiological limits in both physical and mental strength, so there is a saying that things will gradually decline and eventually become exhausted.

However, the Tianlang tribe had not yet realized that they were facing an army that was ahead of its time. They were no longer facing ordinary Central Plains people, but a group of "super Central Plains people."

The reason why Ye Qingzhou did not take any action was not because he was unable to fight again, but because he needed the Tianlang clan to have enough time to gather its troops so that the Wuzu could be wiped out in one fell swoop and achieve their goal in one battle.

Morigen, the "Bow Fox" of the Green Mane Tribe, suppressed the desire of the other four tribes to fight and persuaded them to continue to gather their forces. If they wanted to fight, they should do it with all their might like a lion fighting a rabbit. At the same time, they also wanted to see if the people of the Central Plains had any conspiracy or tricks.

Ten days!

I waited for ten days.

Ye Qingzhou allowed the five major tribes of the Tianlang tribe to gather their forces. There were as many as 150,000 soldiers, including 10,000 Tianlang cavalry. These cavalrymen were armed with spears, clad in armor, and were famous throughout the world.

'Bow Fox' Morigen was very careful. He had sent out his scouts and scouts a hundred miles away. After confirming that the Central Plains army in front of him was indeed isolated and deep in the enemy territory without any reinforcements, he waved the whip in his hand and ordered an attack.

The sound of a horn rang out across the vast grassland, followed by the earth shaking and the sound of horse hooves thundering.

"Kill!"

咻咻 咻 ~
A rain of arrows shot towards the positions of the Shenwu Army, turning more than a hundred soldiers into hedgehogs.

But facing this dense rain of arrows, all the soldiers remained motionless until Ye Qingzhou gave the order: "Shenwu Army, attack."

"Order!"

Hundreds of soldiers responded to the order in unison, then they shook their bodies, exerted their strength, and shook the arrows stuck in their armor to the ground. Then they took a step forward and started running at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

When the Sirius nobles saw that a force of only a hundred men dared to launch a counterattack, they laughed contemptuously.

But soon, the smiles froze on their faces.

The Wu Zu rushed into their army at a speed faster than that of a galloping horse, as if there was no one around, waving their spears and iron swords, and slaughtering their soldiers crazily.

Each of these soldiers was extremely strong and agile. They could even kill the brave and warlike Tianlang Cavalry with just the impact of their bodies, along with their horses.

"Anyone who openly invades the Central Plains will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

Under Ye Qingzhou's training, the Wuzu have become an army with conviction. Their mental strength comes from the millions of people in Youzhou.

Most of them themselves come from poor backgrounds, so they can empathize with others and have the awareness to defend their country.

Without this kind of awareness, it would be impossible for a person to refine the power of thought so quickly and break the golden lock of life.

When an army with conviction possesses superior military force, their fighting spirit will be indestructible, and when facing the enemy, they will be invincible!
