Chapter 186: Jun Wanma, Martial Arts Master
Chapter 186: Thousands of Troops, Martial Arts Master (Subscription Request)
When Xu Qing was observing the mountains and rivers and cultivating his spirit, smoke and dust were billowing not far away, and soon a group of cavalrymen approached.
This group of cavalrymen were full of fierceness, with strong muscles and bones, and they were running in an orderly manner.
Xu Qing had consulted Meng Yuxuan on the art of war, and he knew that if cavalry of this level worked together, even a master of internal fighting would not be able to defeat them head-on.
The blood and murderous aura of the cavalry surged in.
Feng Qingtian protected Xu Jieyuan.
He had been in the martial arts world for a long time, so how could he not recognize the power of this cavalry team?
Especially when this kind of blood and evil spirits come rushing over, many Taoist masters have to run away, because facing this kind of blood and evil spirits, it is difficult to perform Taoist magic.
Fortunately, he is a swordsman who has integrated swordsmanship and Taoism. The flying sword he refines is made of fine gold and can be transformed into Taibai essence, which has a strong resistance to the masculine energy and blood of martial arts.
Although Xu Qing was surprised by the arrival of the cavalry, he remained calm.
"But it's Xu Qing and Xu Jieyuan from Nanzhili." The leading cavalryman shouted.
"It is Xu."
"I am under the order of General Yu to invite Xu Jieyuan to the camp for a chat."
Xu Qing had read the latest court reports and knew that General Yu was a military commander newly dispatched by the court to quell the rebellion in Dongshan Province.
This man is over fifty years old and has made great military achievements.
Previously, the Lotus Sect's uprising in Lingnan failed, and it was defeated by General Yu.
Xu Qing observed the little snake of luck in his body and saw that no black air was coming out, so he knew that the person who came was not malicious.
He also understood that once he arrived near the imperial army that was suppressing the rebellion, it would not be difficult for the scouts to find his whereabouts with a search.
What's more, in a war like this, there will definitely be the Embroidered Uniform Guards gathering intelligence.
Xu Qing said calmly: "Please lead the way."
"Okay." The cavalryman looked straight ahead, and so did the cavalrymen behind him.
Then they opened the way and took Xu Qing to the camp.
Along the way, the horsemen were all silent and murderous, without any extra movements or words, as if they had turned into Shura-like killing machines, without any human emotions.
Xu Qing secretly admired General Yu's strictness in organizing his troops.
Although Meng Yuxuan also emphasized discipline during military training, he also had a humanistic concern in it. General Yu's way of commanding troops was obviously more in line with the world's definition of a famous general.
This also shows the respective leadership styles of the two famous generals.
Feng Qingtian followed Xu Qing into the camp.
He was a commoner, and he had been to many places, but he had never fought in a large army of tens of thousands of people. The blood and violence in the army made him particularly sensitive.
It's not like he had never faced government officials before, but those small fry were no match for the army before him.
What's more, the cavalry leading them are the elite among the elite.
He looked around and couldn't help feeling horrified.
If surrounded by this large army, he would not be able to protect Xu Jieyuan, and even rushing out by himself would be impossible.
He is a swordsman, not a god!
Under the bloody pressure of such a large army, it is difficult to perform any Taoist magic.
Feng Qingtian looked at Xu Jieyuan again and found him calm and relaxed, as if he was not in an army but walking in his own back garden.
How can one not be impressed by such magnanimity?
Feng Qingtian secretly admired him. No wonder Xu Jieyuan had accomplished so many great things at such a young age.
He is indeed a born hero.
Xu Qing looked calm, and he kept observing the little snake of luck in his heart. Fortunately, there was no change from beginning to end. If there was any sign of trouble, he would run away.
Although it was difficult to perform Taoist magic in the army, he was confident that he could escape with his superb Eight Trigrams Dragon Body Movement.
Moreover, General Yu had no reason to deal with him, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the court.
No matter how lawless Xu Qing was, he was still a member of the civil service system. Even though many civil officials were disgusted by Xu Qing, if Xu Qing was really beaten to death or imprisoned by military officers, the civil officials would probably cut General Yu into pieces. After all, it was the common interest of the civil officials that civil officials were superior and military officials were inferior.
This is also the natural law in the eyes of civil servants.
Along the way, Xu Qing had the leisure to observe the layout of the camp. Combining Meng Yuxuan's knowledge of military tactics, he secretly memorized what he saw and heard.
Before entering the big tent.
Xu Qing did not feel the martial arts energy of General Yu outside.
After he entered.
His followers and Feng Qingtian could only guard outside.
Xu Qing met General Yu alone. Although this famous general was over fifty years old, he was still energetic. What surprised Xu Qing even more was that with his eyesight, he could not even tell the depth of the other party's blood and energy.
"Master of martial arts!" Xu Qing was secretly surprised.
But when you think about it, this is only natural.
There is no reason for the imperial court to ignore the rebellion in Dongshan Province, and it is only natural that its true nature is revealed at this time.
A martial arts master and a famous general, with tens of thousands of well-trained troops, Xu Qing had no idea how the Luo Sect leader and his motley crowd could win.
At the end of most dynasties, peasant armies were massacred by government troops in the early and middle stages.
Therefore, in historical books, there are often records of government soldiers defeating tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of bandits for free.
There is a huge gap between the regular army and the makeshift team.
"Xu Qing, a scholar from Jiangning Prefecture, pays his respects to the commander-in-chief." Xu Qing bowed in greeting.
As he spoke, he used the secret of the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound. His voice was powerful and majestic, like thunder from the sky hitting the ground, which was shocking and courageous.
Xu Qing knew that these military generals and strong soldiers had always despised civil officials, but due to the country's system, they had to respect them.
He did not want to show off by relying on his status as a civil servant, but to demonstrate his strength in the most common way of a military man.
The military is a place where people admire the strong.
No matter what, it is the right choice for Xu Qing to show his strength so as not to make people look down on him.
Moreover, when Xu Qing Leiyin uttered the words, the solemn and murderous atmosphere in the tent was immediately dispelled.
"Good!" General Yu exclaimed, and continued: "It is true that heroes emerge from youth. No wonder Meng Yuxuan mentioned you many times in his letters."
He was the emperor's favorite general, so naturally he couldn't get too close to civil officials.
This time, he asked Xu Qing to join the camp because he felt that he would suppress the rebellion soon, and Xu Gongming's arrival in Dongshan Province was an unstable factor.
For a general, more plans are better than less plans, and less plans are better than no plans.
General Yu is well aware of this.
In this case, he summoned Xu Qing into the camp as the general and asked him to help him suppress the rebellion. By putting this unstable factor in front of him, he could then calmly display his strength.
What's more, Xu Qing is a civil servant who is good at pacifying the people. After he puts down the rebellion, he has to listen to Xu Qing's insights and ask him to help him deal with post-war affairs.
In fact, quelling civil unrest and winning battles are not the important things. The key is how to deal with the aftermath so that it does not recur. This is what a general should consider most.
It’s just that many generals don’t even consider these things.
It is normal for soldiers to act like bandits.
General Yu is naturally not such a general.
But keeping the people safe is indeed his weakness.
Moreover, Xu Qing's kung fu was even better than when he was young. His proficiency in both civil and military affairs made General Yu even more satisfied with Xu Qing.
He then looked relaxed and started chatting with Xu Qing.
