Chapter 173, 177, 178, assassinating Ouyang Feng? The location of the sixth spirit seed!
In the Battle of Shazhou, the main general of the Western Xia army was killed in battle not long after the battle began, and the 50,000-strong army collapsed on the spot.
The entire army was wiped out in the pursuit by the Gaochang army, and less than a thousand riders escaped.
The reason why all the cavalry were annihilated so thoroughly was not only because the Gaochang army was also composed entirely of cavalry and was well-rested, but also because Ouyang Feng had learned Li Shimin's cavalry pursuit tactics.
I will not show mercy to you once I have the upper hand. I will not take off my armor for three days and will chase you and beat you relentlessly. As long as I still have the slightest strength to swing my sword, you will not be able to stop and catch your breath.
The Gaochang Wolf Cavalry, whose members are all skilled in martial arts and can enforce discipline, are the most suitable for implementing this tactic.
They took off their heavy armor and only wore mail armor. Led by Ouyang Feng, they easily chased the enemy for three consecutive days. They only had to change horses along the way.
Sometimes when there are no horses to replace, you can even run and chase the enemy, exhausting the enemy's horses.
Even the ragtag army led by Ouyang Lie, stimulated by the huge victory, broke out in amazing fighting enthusiasm.
There were two to three thousand riders in total, who followed the wolf riders all the way to the end.
Of course, most of these two to three thousand riders came from Baituo Mountain, or were herdsmen rescued from the grassland.
After this battle, they will be promoted to wolf riders and receive the best treatment.
In this battle, over ten thousand of the 50,000 Western Xia troops were killed, and the rest all surrendered.
Ouyang Feng confiscated all the weapons, armor and horses and distributed them to his own soldiers. The 30,000 soldiers replaced their guns with cannons and all changed their equipment.
After a short rest, Ouyang Feng led his troops towards Guazhou.
In the Battle of Guazhou, the "Dragon King of the West", who was feared throughout the Western Regions, finally displayed his long-lost cruel methods.
He followed the Xixia tradition and organized the surrendered soldiers into "Zhuanglinglang" groups, giving them only a knife or a spear and sending them charging into battle.
If you can behead one level by chance, you can regain your freedom. If you can behead three levels, you can get armor and a horse and become a regular soldier.
On the contrary, if one goes through three consecutive battles without any military achievements and has no battle wounds on his body, he will be beheaded on the spot.
Most of the main forces of Western Xia came from the Dangxiang Qiang tribe, which was the basis of Western Xia's rule to intimidate other ethnic groups in the country. When Western Xia had not yet been destroyed, it was difficult to convert them by normal means and use them for their own purposes.
Therefore, by using this "bumping son" system learned from the Western Xia against the Han people, one can avoid the stigma of killing prisoners and consume the diehard Dangxiang young and strong men in a fair and open manner, and force some of the Dangxiang young and strong men to fight against their own people in order to save their lives.
Once they started killing, they could never turn back and could only follow Gaochang to the end.
With the combat effectiveness of the Wolf Cavalry, it would be no problem for them to fight their way through the entire Hexi Corridor starting from Shazhou.
But Gaochang Kingdom had too small a population after all. Even if it defeated and occupied Western Xia, it would still have to convert more Western Xia people into its own people in order to rule effectively.
Fortunately, there are indeed many oppressed ethnic groups within the territory of Western Xia.
For example, some people say that the Han people had a high status in Western Xia and could become high-ranking officials, but what was the relationship between the Han people who became high-ranking officials in Western Xia and the lower-class Han people?
As a foreign race, the lower-class Han people were inevitably oppressed in Western Xia.
This can be seen by just looking at the arrangements made by Western Xia towards the Han people.
In order to prevent the Han people from fleeing to the Central Plains, the Western Xia deliberately settled a large number of Han people in Guazhou and Suzhou in the west.
If you really want to trust the Han people, why not settle them in Xingqing Prefecture, Xiping, Xiazhou and other places in the Hetao region in the east?
Other non-Dangxiang ethnic groups will also be oppressed.
Even the lower classes of the Dangxiang tribe were oppressed by the masters.
Ouyang Feng does not discriminate against any ethnic group, he only targets the upper class nobles.
Every time they conquered a place or occupied a city, they only targeted the high-ranking nobles, confiscated the farms and pastures of the Tangut nobles and tribal leaders, freed the slaves, reduced taxes for the civilians, and distributed the land.
Such a policy meant that the Gaochang Army encountered very little resistance in the occupied areas.
Even a large number of freed slaves and civilians who had been allocated land at home volunteered to join the army.
Ouyang Feng accepted all those who joined the army and organized them into the miscellaneous troops, leading them to continue their eastward advance. He also left some loyal and reliable miscellaneous troops to stay in the newly occupied areas.
After initially completing the capture of Guazhou, they headed towards Suzhou and easily captured the city in one battle.
Afterwards, he repeated the previous policies in Shazhou and Guazhou, reorganized the army, and did not advance eastward again, but instead went north to attack Heishui City.
Heishui City is the transportation hub leading to the Mobei area from the Hexi Corridor. Its strategic position is extremely important, and the Western Xia has stationed heavy troops here.
Because the area has abundant water and grass, developed agriculture and animal husbandry, and can trade with Mobei, the city has a large population and a very prosperous economy and culture after years of vigorous development by Western Xia.
Such an important town is not easy to capture. Under normal circumstances, it would require a long siege and a slow attack.
But Ouyang Feng simply used the technique of "casting beans into soldiers" and released two "heavenly soldiers" whose images were modified to look like Buddhist Vajra, and easily defeated the defense of Blackwater City.
The Western Xia people worshipped Buddhism. There were many Buddhist temples in Heishui City, as well as a large number of workshops for printing Buddhist scriptures.
Two ten-foot-tall, majestic and dignified Buddhist Vajra led the charge. Which soldier stationed in Blackwater City would not be shocked?
Especially when the general defending the city shouted: "This is a trick, this is fake..."
As a result, after being trampled into pulp by a King Kong who leaped onto the top of the city wall, all the lower-level soldiers prostrated themselves on the spot, trembling with fear and throwing down their weapons in surrender.
Ouyang Feng used the technique of turning beans into soldiers, not only easily conquering the important border town of Blackwater City, but also quickly winning the hearts of the people in the city.
The Buddhist monks in Heishui City, because of his title of "Dragon King of the Western Extreme", worship him as the "Dragon King of the Protector of Religion", and take the initiative to help him preach policies, appease people's hearts, and maintain order - to be honest, Ouyang Feng really deserves the title of Dragon King of the Protector of Religion. Because if there is no him in the world, Gaochang and Xixia will all be green in the future.
Blackwater City was easily brought under Ouyang Feng's rule.
Afterwards, Ouyang Feng led his army back south and returned to Suzhou. Then he marched eastward to Ganzhou, and led by the Buddhist Vajra, he captured Ganzhou City in one battle.
With Ganzhou conquered, the conquests for this autumn and winter came to an end, and the time turned to internal affairs to consolidate the results of the war, while at the same time guarding against a counterattack from Western Xia.
To be honest, Ouyang Feng really hoped that Xixia could gather a large army for a counterattack.
If the Battle of Shazhou could be replicated again, Western Xia would only be able to conscript men and women as soldiers, and its equipment level would drop to a horrible level, basically meaning that it could be declared that it had entered the countdown to its demise.
Unfortunately, the tragic defeat in the Battle of Shazhou, in which 50,000 main forces were completely wiped out, shocked the entire Western Xia nation, and they no longer dared to gather troops to fight back.
Just as Ouyang Feng was conquering cities and seizing territories in the Hexi Corridor, the Western Xia provinces of Liangzhou, Xiping, Xingqing and others were desperately strengthening the passes and cities in various places, stockpiling military equipment and food supplies in preparation for a defensive battle.
At the same time, Xixia also made two preparations.
While desperately defending themselves and preparing for war, Xixia Yipintang also sent out experts to try to assassinate the brothers Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Lie and directly disintegrate the Gaochang army.
The result...
"What? You want us to go to Ganzhou to assassinate the White Camel Lord Ouyang Feng? White-robed Shura, Blood-handed Yaksha, and Western Dragon King Ouyang Feng?"
Xixia Yipintang master, "Double Blade" Lin Tong, who had met Ouyang Feng once several years ago, stared at Master Feilong with his eyes wide open in disbelief, "Who gave this order?"
“Under the bright sky.”
Master Feilong said calmly:
"All the masters of Yipintang are out this time, a total of 27 people. The leader is the master of the royal family, 'Iron Eagle' Weiming Daliang. He is the son of Weiming Linggong, and he vowed to avenge his father and stab Ouyang Feng to death in Ganzhou City."
"Crazy, absolutely crazy..."
Lin Tong gritted his teeth and whispered:
"Master, Ouyang Feng is a peerless master who can take the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops! The Xixia nobles don't understand what this means, don't you understand it either? Guan Yu and even Xiang Yu in ancient times were no more than this! They want us to assassinate a contemporary martial saint and reincarnated overlord, and they want us to die!
"Furthermore, I have heard a rumor that when Blackwater City fell, Lord White Camel summoned two Buddhist Vajra statues that were ten feet tall and could leap onto the top of the city wall... If this rumor is true, Lord White Camel is not a mortal, but a true Dragon King!"
Master Feilong sighed and clasped his hands together:
"Yes, I also received a secret letter from a fellow apprentice in Black Water City, which confirmed that Lord White Camel summoned a ten-foot-tall golden Vajra and easily destroyed Black Water City. If this is true, then as a disciple of Buddhism, I would never dare to offend the Dragon King who protects the religion."
Lin Tong's eyes lit up:
"Master, what you mean is... we run away? And then join the White Camel Lord?"
Master Feilong lowered his eyelids and said softly:
"How can you achieve any merit just by running away? It would be better to... bring the head of Weiming Daliang with you to join the army. That would be the real merit."
Lin Tong frowned and said:
"But Weiming Daliang's martial arts are better than ours. There are also many die-hard Dangxiang masters in the team for this operation..."
Master Feilong chuckled, "But apart from the diehard Tangut masters, not all others may be on the same page with Weiming Daliang..."
Seven days later.
The Xixia Yipintang assassin team arrived in Ganzhou and sneaked into Ganzhou city disguised as a merchant caravan.
That night, a martial arts expert nicknamed "Night Owl" was assigned by Weiming Daliang to sneak out of the inn where the assassin group was staying and go to inquire about Ouyang Feng's whereabouts.
The night owl took advantage of the cover of darkness to run and leap on the rooftops, flying towards the Ganzhou government office. He saw a team of patrolling wolf riders from afar, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He leaped onto the street, knelt on the ground with a thump, and bowed his head:
"Sir, I'm here to surrender and I have important military information to report!"
The leading wolf rider was a young man in his early twenties. He looked relatively elegant, but his eyes were extremely cold and indifferent.
He stared coldly at the man in black ten steps ahead and said calmly:
"What's the military situation?"
"This……"
Night Owl smiled and said:
"Can you take me to see Mr. White Camel? I want to report to him in person."
"You have an unknown origin, how dare you have such an inappropriate thought?"
The leading wolf rider snorted coldly, "How do we know that you are not trying to imitate the story of Jing Ke and do something bad?"
As he spoke, his hand had already pressed on the sword, and his whole aura changed. When his cold eyes fell on Night Owl's neck, Night Owl instinctively felt a sense of horror as if a steel knife was placed on his neck.
"This guy is actually a master!"
Night Owl was startled:
"Such an expert is just a centurion who leads a night patrol?"
But it's not over yet.
The other nine wolf riders also dispersed tacitly at this time, semi-surrounding Night Owl. Some held knives, some held spears, and some drew bows and arrows. Their cold glances fell on Night Owl, making his scalp numb, his heart tremble with fear, and his breathing choked.
"This... a team of night patrol cavalrymen are all experts in martial arts!"
Ye Xiao was shocked, and finally understood why the Gaochang army was able to destroy the 50,000 main elite troops of Western Xia in one battle with its weak force, and successively conquered Shazhou, Guazhou, Suzhou, Heishui, Ganzhou and other cities.
The "Wolf Riders" who used to be feared by the Western Regions, and whose reputation is now known throughout Western Xia, are all experts in martial arts!
It is said that the wolf riders number a total of one thousand!
A thousand martial arts masters, all of them obey orders, and this kind of martial arts is willing to patrol the streets and guard the night...
With such a powerful army, which country in the world can rival it?
While being shocked, Ye Xiao couldn't help but feel fortunate for his choice. At the same time, he didn't dare to keep it a secret any longer, and simply said:
"General, allow me to report. I am from the First Grade Hall of Xixia, and I have been ordered to come and assassinate Lord Baituo. However, I admire Lord Baituo's divine power, and I am a Han Chinese, so I disdain to work for the Dangxiang people, so I have come here to abandon the dark and join the light..."
He talked a lot, revealing all the details of the assassin group in one breath, and finally said:
"General, besides me, there are twelve others who are willing to give up the dark and join the light. When you generals are going to encircle and suppress the assassin, I and my twelve companions can work together inside and outside to kill Wei Ming Daliang by surprise!"
The wolf rider captain looked at his comrades and said calmly:
"You follow us first."
After saying that, he led the team and continued to move forward leisurely. When they met another team of night patrol wolf riders, the wolf rider captain went over to greet them and whispered a few words to the captain on the other side. Then the two teams separated and continued their patrol.
Afterwards, they met another team of wolf riders on the road, and the captain went over to greet them again.
After patrolling the city for a while, the wolf rider captain asked Night Owl to lead the way to the inn where the assassins were staying.
When Night Owl and his team arrived, they found that there were already dozens of wolf riders on foot around the inn.
All wolf riders were very agile. Even when wearing armor, their steps made no sound when they marched quickly, and their breathing was almost inaudible.
The wolf riders surrounded from all directions, some stopped in the shadows of the street opposite the inn, while others jumped onto the opposite roof, drew their bows and arrows, and in a blink of an eye they blocked all the passages that could lead to escape from the inn area.
"Okay, you can go in and start it."
The wolf rider captain gently patted Night Owl on the shoulder:
"Remember, those who surrender will have white cloth tied on their foreheads. Otherwise, if you die in our hands, don't cry out for injustice."
"Thank you, General. I'll keep it in mind." Ye Xiao responded with a smile.
To be honest, since he learned martial arts, he had never been so polite to a junior officer of the centurion rank.
But at this moment he was convinced.
Because this group of wolf riders are all really skilled fighters, they can even do high-flying martial arts!
After Night Owl returned to the inn, within a short while, exclamations, shouts, and screams were heard in the inn.
Another angry roar was heard:
"Feilong! Lin Tong! Do you dare to rebel?" "Oh, Xixia is doomed, and wise birds choose trees to roost in. Lord Baituo is the martial saint of the world. If I don't join him, will I follow you, a fool, and be buried with Xixia?"
"Amitabha, Mr. White Camel is the reincarnation of the Dragon King who protects the Buddhist sect. As a disciple of the Buddhist sect, I must obey the Buddha's command and serve the Dragon King!"
Amid the shouting and conversation, the sounds of fierce fistfights and weapons clashing could be heard.
Then, a big hole was seen in the wooden wall on the second floor of the inn. Two figures rushed out in a panic. After they landed on the ground and were about to run away, two powerful arrows shot towards them.
The two men reacted quickly and swung their swords to block the arrow in time. Although they knocked the arrow away, the huge force of the arrow made their arms numb, and their momentum slowed down.
At this time, two more spears came rushing towards them. The two assassins hurriedly raised their swords to block them, but they did not expect that the two spears were not only as fast as the wind, but also had incredible power. With two crisp clangs, they easily knocked the two men's swords away. The spears did not stop and continued to advance. With two puffs, they pierced the chests of the two assassins.
The two Dangxiang masters from the Yipintang stared with their eyes wide open in disbelief at the two armored soldiers opposite them. They could not believe until their death that they, with their great martial arts skills, could be killed by a single spear from a soldier.
At the same time when these two Yipintang masters were stabbed to death by two wolf riders with the "Rock Crushing Strike", several other Yipintang masters rushed out of the inn in a panic with injuries, but were stopped one after another by arrows shot from the opposite roof.
Just as they stopped, the wolf riders thrust their spears forward and charged forward, their "rock-breaking strikes" drawing cold rays of light and shrill whistles in the night sky.
The Yipintang warriors either dodged or blocked, and after finally dodging or blocking a spear, before they could fight back, another powerful arrow flew over, blocking their movement. At the same time, wolf riders with spears came forward and thrust their spears.
Then after a series of puffing sounds, the bodies of the Yipintang assassins lay on the ground again, either shot to death by arrows or stabbed to death by spears.
At this time, another roar was heard in the inn, and then the roof of the inn exploded. A tall figure soared into the sky like a vulture with an astonishing momentum. It was the leader of the assassin group, Weiming Daliang, who was known as the "Iron Eagle".
Wei Ming Daliang's martial arts skills were several points stronger than Master Feilong and others had expected. Even when besieged by three experts including Master Feilong and Lin Tong, he actually injured them and finally broke through the siege and escaped.
Master Feilong, Lin Tong and others were eager to make achievements, so they jumped onto the roof regardless of their injuries. Just as they were about to give chase, they saw Weiming Daliang flying sideways and leaping onto the opposite roof.
On the opposite roof, there stood a soldier wearing iron armor and a long sword on his waist. When he saw Weiming Daliang flying over, he drew out his long sword with a swish and slashed five times in a row against the wind.
Weiming Daliang originally did not take the soldier seriously, but when the other party drew his sword and slashed continuously, with the sword flashing fiercely, Weiming Daliang's face suddenly changed slightly, and he roared, swinging his sword to meet the attack.
Clang, clang, clang!
After five crisp sounds, Weiming Daliang's flying figure suddenly stopped in the air and fell towards the street.
Before he landed on the ground, three wolf cavalry captains standing in a triangle shape on the street rose into the sky, drew their swords at the same time, and swung the "Five Iron Cutting Styles" towards Weiming Daliang from three directions.
Wei Ming Daliang had just fought with the wolf cavalry captain on the opposite roof, but was stopped in mid-air and forced to fall. His energy was about to run out, and now he was in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage. He could only barely swing his sword and perform a flawed "Night Fight in All Directions" move to resist the attack of the three men.
After another round of crisp and exciting weapons clashing sounds, the three wolf rider captains landed on the roofs on both sides.
Weiming Daliang fell to the ground with a thud. He struggled for a while, barely propped himself up with his sword, and knelt on one knee to try to stand up. But in the end, his head sank and he fell to the ground again. His limbs twitched twice, and he was completely motionless.
Soon, a pool of blood quickly spread out from under him, soaking half of his body in blood.
Seeing this scene, Master Feilong, Lin Tong and others couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling.
Wei Ming Daliang was very skilled in martial arts, and the three of them had besieged him but failed to defeat him. Instead, he was injured and broke through the siege. But now, he was killed on the spot by four armored soldiers...
Ye Xiao was not bragging, the Gaochang Wolf Riders were indeed all experts in martial arts, and they were also proficient in the art of combined attack!
Looking at the corpses of Weiming Daliang lying on the street, and then looking at the other assassins who were easily stabbed or shot to death by the wolf riders, Master Feilong, Lin Tong and others looked at each other, and saw a deep sense of relief in their eyes.
……
"Master Feilong? Lin Tong with two swords?"
The next morning, after receiving the news about the assassin group from the Wolf Riders, Ouyang Feng couldn't help but look a little subtle.
These two names are quite familiar.
When I was traveling around Western Xia looking for the "Qiu Shui Remains", I seemed to have met these two guys in the Western Xia Imperial Garden.
By the way, who was it that released the sad and gentle breeze that knocked down Hong Qi and Lin Chaoying?
After thinking about the past for a while, Ouyang Feng shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
Although there had been conflicts in the past, since he had already turned over a new leaf, Ouyang Feng would not be so magnanimous with his broad-mindedness.
But now, there was no need for him to personally meet these small shrimps, so he just said to the wolf rider who reported:
"Take them to Haitang and let Haitang arrange a position for them in the secret service camp. By the way, each of the Yipintang masters who surrender will be rewarded with ten taels of gold, twenty taels of silver, and ten pieces of cotton cloth."
This reward is certainly a little too little for a martial arts master.
But Master Feilong, Lin Tong and others saw firsthand how powerful the Wolf Riders were last night.
They must be very clear that with their martial arts skills, they are not qualified to receive special treatment under Ouyang Feng.
Besides, they didn't gain anything last night. The leader of the assassin group, Weiming Daliang, was killed by four wolf riders captains, and most of the other assassins also died at the hands of the wolf riders.
They should be grateful that the surrendered assassins' contributions to tipping off and colluding with the outside world were acknowledged, and that they were rewarded and given tasks.
Dealt with this little thing.
Ouyang Feng continued to deal with other military affairs.
At the same time, he was also thinking about going on a tour this winter, taking two Vajra warriors with him to visit Ganzhou, Suzhou, Heishui City, Guazhou, Shazhou and other places, to give the people in various places a little shock of the Dragon King.
The overwhelming force of the Gaochang Army, or Ouyang Feng and the Wolf Cavalry, was enough to shock all quarters and suppress all disobedience.
The various policies promulgated by Ouyang Feng were also very popular among most people.
Coupled with the bonus of faith, newly conquered territories such as Shazhou can become a stable rear in at most one winter.
"Next year. At the latest, we will be able to completely conquer Xixia. Governing it is not too difficult. After all, there are only more than two million people, and there are natural conflicts among different ethnic groups. They still have the slave system, so it is not too difficult to divide and disintegrate them. We can also use Buddhism... The best thing is that thanks to Li Renxiao's decades of vigorously promoting civil governance, Xixia still has many scholars...
"They don't necessarily have to be buried with the Tanguts. As long as I give them a way out, I will definitely be able to find scholars willing to work for me. Speaking of which, it seems that I can hold a special examination in the new territory? Promote some unsuccessful scholars to be local officials, and buy their bones for a fortune?"
Nowadays, if you want to govern the country well, you really cannot do without scholars.
Furthermore, the scholars of that time were very different from the corrupt scholars of later generations who spent their entire lives studying classics and writing eight-legged essays.
Not only were they proficient in Confucian classics, most of them also knew a lot of miscellaneous knowledge and practical matters, and they were not averse to learning practical knowledge beyond Confucian classics. They could flexibly update their knowledge base according to the actual needs of the monarch.
In particular, scholars in Western Xia and Jin were more effective in being flexible and serving their monarchs.
In this era, there will not be much resistance to developing disciplines such as mathematics and physics.
Of course, Ouyang Feng had no intention of doing these things himself.
He only needs to take charge of military affairs, and at most take the Vajra Warriors to patrol the local areas and appease the people.
As for the implementation of various policies, as well as matters such as opening special examinations and establishing new schools, just write an outline and give it to Ouyang Lie, and let him and his staff team study it.
"After conquering Xixia, we can invite Huang Yaoshi over. With his talent, he is more than qualified to be a prime minister..."
Ouyang Feng himself doesn't like dealing with these trivial matters.
He even led his troops to fight from autumn to winter, and every day he had to deal with military affairs except for fighting, which made him a little bored.
But now that the chariot has started, it is impossible to stop until Western Xia is completely destroyed.
No matter how much you dislike it, you have to grit your teeth and do it.
Fortunately, he can still find time to relax in the world of The Twins of Legends, the world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, and the world of the Great Tang Dynasty, or enter the Tongtian Fantasy Realm to train Guan Feng.
It is not easy to go to the demon world.
Not only is there dangerous monsters in that world, but even the essence of heaven and earth is weird. After the true qi is consumed, there will be considerable risks in absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to replenish the true qi.
Even when he transformed into a demon tiger, because he was still human in essence, he would continue to be affected by the essence of heaven and earth.
Therefore, Ouyang Feng held a cautious attitude towards the demon world. Anyway, he had not encountered a bottleneck in his practice yet, so there was no need for him to take risks in the demon world for the time being.
However, the world connected to the sixth spiritual seed is something to look forward to.
Speaking of which, the sixth spiritual seed was released during the Lantern Festival this year.
It is now deep winter, and it has been almost a year since the sixth spirit seed was released.
When Ouyang Feng used the Tongtian Baojian to sense and reflect, he could see that the scene around the sixth spirit seed was gradually becoming clearer.
Judging from the situation, the sixth spiritual seed may grow within a year.
This can be considered a precedent - the spirit seed is almost grown, but it has not yet encountered a "spiritual" host.
I don’t know what the sixth spirit seed is attached to.
However, since it only takes one year to grow into maturity, it shows that the world that the sixth spirit seed goes to is at a very high level.
There are so many good things out there.
After staying in Ganzhou City for half a month, he handled military affairs such as rewards and punishments, reorganization, and garrison.
Ouyang Feng left Wang Wu and Ma Yue to lead 900 wolf riders to garrison Ganzhou, and he himself took Dong Yun, Haitang and other 100 wolf riders to inspect the new territories. Wherever he arrived at a place, he was accompanied by Vajra warriors. When the people saw him, they worshiped him and regarded Ouyang Feng as a god. As a result, the people in the new territories gradually felt at ease and his rule became more stable.
It was not until around the Spring Festival that Ouyang Feng finally finished his inspection and returned to Ganzhou. He had a New Year's Eve dinner with his eldest brother, and then went to the Wolf Cavalry Camp to celebrate the New Year with the Wolf Cavalry.
After the New Year, it was snowing heavily and windy in the Western Regions, so it was not a good time to mobilize troops.
The army continued to stay in Ganzhou for reorganization and training. The newly promoted more than 2,000 wolf riders also began to practice military skills such as the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung, Iron Armor, Rock-Breaking Strike, and Five Iron-Cutting Swords this winter.
Although it is impossible for these more than 2,000 newly promoted wolf riders to achieve much after training for a whole winter, even if they continue to train until the snow melts in the spring, it can at least be guaranteed that their strength will far exceed that of the elite troops of Western Xia.
It is also possible to identify good seedlings with excellent talents and physique and focus on their training.
Time flies.
The Lantern Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
Ouyang Feng celebrated the festival together with Wang Wu, Ma Yue, Dong Yun, Haitang and others in the Wolf Cavalry Camp. He returned to the central army tent alone. The Tongtian Treasure Mirror in his sea of consciousness suddenly shook slightly, and a message came.
The sixth spiritual seed has grown!
Ouyang Feng was delighted and immediately reflected the location of the sixth spirit seed. He saw a still picture appearing on the mirror of Tongtian Baojian.
It was a forest, surrounded by towering ancient trees with dense crowns and vines like snakes and pythons. Only a little light could barely penetrate into the forest, making it look very dark.
The object that the sixth spirit seed was attached to was actually a strange egg.
The strange egg was dark red all over, with layers of scales on it. It looked like a snake fruit, but it was much larger than a snake fruit and seemed to be the size of an ostrich egg.
The strange egg was placed in a wooden box padded with some kind of hay, and the wooden box...
In the hands of a corpse.
The corpse was sitting with its back against a tree that was so thick that two people could hug it. Its body had completely turned into bones, and the skeleton was covered with vines.
Most of the clothes on his body had decayed, with only a few stained fragments remaining. It was impossible to tell their original shape, but judging from their texture, those fragments seemed to be coarse linen.
"The sixth spirit seed is attached to a strange egg? The owner of the strange egg is dead, and the egg has not hatched, so it has no host?"
Ouyang Feng looked a little strange:
"But the appearance of this egg seems a little familiar..."
I was searching my memory to see where I had seen similar eggs.
There was suddenly movement in the picture reflected in the mirror of Tongtian Baojian.
A bald man with a ferocious face and dressed in martial arts uniform rushed into the picture, wielding a sword and chopping down a field of vines and thorns.
Afterwards, the bald man came to the corpse, squatted down and looked at it for a while. Suddenly, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he turned around and shouted something in the direction he came from.
Soon, a girl in hunting clothes, long boots and a long sword at her waist entered the scene, surrounded by several men with longbows, knives and quivers on their waists.
Although the Tongtian Baojian can now reflect the images around the grown Tongtian Spirit Seed in real time like a live broadcast, it cannot transmit sound.
Therefore, Ouyang Feng could not hear their conversation.
But judging from the mouth shapes of the people behind the girl, they were speaking Chinese, and the content seemed to be...
Princess, be careful?
This person is a famous old poisoner. Even if he is dead, we still have to be wary of his poisonous corpse?
