Chapter 416 The First Expedition
Outside of Qingming, the Wu clan is distributed in the west and northwest directions. Beyond the boundary and more than a thousand miles to the north are all the snow-capped mountains.
Within Ten Thousand Miles of Qingming, there are three major forces of the witch clan. One is the Rain Kingdom of Hongye; the other is the Tianyi Tribe where Sacred Heart, Hui Xin, etc. are; and the third is the Huangzu Tribe where Tianyu is.
The Tianyi tribe is the strongest, but it is quite difficult to deal with the Kingdom of Rain. There was a big war a few years ago, and both sides consumed hundreds of thousands of sacrifices. The Huangzu tribe is not weak either, and there are quite profound forces in the tribe. He inherited the witchcraft inheritance and established his own stronghold in the wilderness.
The Ancestral Ancestor and the Kingdom of Rain are relatively close, but they are not without conflicts. The Blood Witch, the Power Witch and the Magic Witch all look down on each other, and the Dao Witch looks down on them all.
Before Tianyu left, he brought with him a list given by Wei Yuan, which listed rare minerals, medicinal materials, blood necklaces and sacrifices.
After Tianyu left, Wei Yuan went to the Xun Gong Hall again, exchanged a large number of books and borrowed materials, and then ordered people to move to his residence. Wei Yuan exchanged so many books that he even had to build a special yard to store them. Available for others to view.
Now Wei Yuan not only reads for himself, but also for mortals in thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, so he reads a wide variety of books, including everything.
At this time, news suddenly came from thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that a small team of researchers had made an improved iron forging machine!
Wei Yuan swept his consciousness and saw the new plan.
This plan changed the method of lifting the forging hammer of the iron forging machine to using a roller hinge to lift it, but the core point is that it no longer relies on the physical strength of the monks, but uses the power of the magic circle to drive the roller rotation.
The magic circle can be driven by spiritual objects or monks. A magic circle can power multiple iron forging machines.
The core of this plan is to replace monks with formations. In the past, a monk could only operate one forging machine, but now a Taoist monk can use the formation to power three, five, or even more than ten forging machines at the same time. .
However, the plan is just an idea, and the specific magic circle has not yet been designed. These mortals have not been spiritually active for a long time. Although they study day and night, they are still far from being able to design a magic circle. However, the girl Yin Yang seems to think that this One plan seemed feasible, so I proposed it to Wei Yuan.
But the formation is not difficult. There are many talents who are proficient in formations in Qingming, and this formation is not a profound and exquisite work. Most of the cultivators in Taichu Palace can design it. Wei Yuan himself can actually do it, It's just that the magic circle is larger and less efficient.
Wei Yuan immediately took the formation method to Yu Zhizhuo. After reading it, Yu Zhizhuo also felt that this method was feasible. Now in the forging workshop, the monks' efforts are far from reaching their own limits, and the effect of polishing the foundation of the state of mind is not very good. .
For example, how can it be possible for a monk who has completed the casting process to crank the iron forging machine for days and nights without getting tired? After using the magic circle, as long as the power of the magic circle is fully activated, even a Taoist monk can only last for two or three days at most. hours.
Yu Zhizhuo believes that only in this way can the work of the monks be considered fulfilling.
Wei Yuan deeply agreed.
As for designing the magic circle, it was only a small matter, so the forging workshop temporarily stopped work for three days to upgrade and renovate it.
Wei Yuan returned to his residence and began to think about what he had in hand that could impress the Bao family. Now that the one-year period is getting closer and closer, Wei Yuan has not made a move with anyone since he became a Dharma minister, and he is somewhat dissatisfied with his own strength.
confidence.
After thinking about it, Wei Yuan felt that the Bao family lacked nothing, and since they were far away from Qing Ming, there really wasn't much he could do for the Bao family. Wei Yuan spent some more merit and research on the Ukiyo Dragon Picture.
material.
There are not many records about the Floating Dragon Picture in Taichu Palace. It is said that this is an immortal treasure handed down from ancient times. It was in a mutilated state when it fell into the hands of Qiongshan Fairy Island. With this treasure, you can borrow the luck of the dragon.
Attached to the descendants, those who have achieved dual cultivation will definitely have nine sons, each with different talents, and they are all immortals.
It's just that this method has extremely strict requirements for practitioners. It has been successful three times on Qiongshan Fairy Island in the past. The current Supreme Elder on the island is one of the Nine Sons and the only one who has achieved great results.
Zhao Fusheng was able to practice the Dragon Picture of the Floating World, needless to say he was talented. However, after searching for many years in Qiongshan Fairy Island, he found Bao Yun who was qualified to practice, so he was willing to pay a sky-high price.
According to normal logic, Wei Yuan feels that he should give more than Xiandao no matter what, so that he has a reason for the Bao family to reject Xiandao. For example, if Xiandao gives five, then Wei Yuan has to give six...
Wei Yuan took stock of the bargaining chips he could get now. They were nothing more than forging breastplates, cultivating Taoist foundations for the Bao family, and fighting for the Bao family. The rest seemed to be nothing. Or he could be shameless and bet on his own glory.
A bright future?
This matter was really difficult to resolve, so Wei Yuan discussed it with the cultivators of Taichu Palace one by one.
Master Choe He thought that he could sneak into the ancestral land of the Bao family with Diao Ye and steal people. Diao Ye was able to easily bring Bao Yun out, and then the two of them fled back to Qingming. From then on, the emperor was far away from the mountain. They waited for several years to be in the limelight.
After that, go and apologize to Baojia. Anyway, by then the deal is done, and Baojia’s asking price will definitely drop significantly.
But Master Chue He avoided a question, that is, what would Master Bao do if he wanted to kill Wei Yuan.
Yu Zhizhuo believed that Wei Yuan could go to the Bao family to dig mines. With Wei Yuan's current power, he had developed the Dharma version of the Golden Light Water Blade Technique. At that time, it would have been easy to dig up mines at least fifty or sixty times.
There is no need to take the Dharma form lightly. When Yu Zhizhuo also becomes the Dharma form, he will come and dig with Wei Yuan. In a few years, the Bao family's ancestral land will be hollowed out.
This method seems absurd, but in fact it is very feasible. Wei Yuan carefully calculated the workload and normal remuneration, and felt that it was not impossible.
But he soon realized that Yu Zhizhuo wanted to trick him into mining again!
Sun Yu's method is relatively simple. Let Wei Yuan refine elixirs and study medicine. When an important figure in the Bao family gets an incurable disease, Wei Yuan can use his alchemy and medical skills to solve the problem, and then let them owe a favor.
At least what if the big shots don't have incurable diseases? This can also be solved through medical methods. If there are no incurable diseases, just create a few incurable diseases.
Feng Tingyu... Wei Yuan decided not to consult Mingwangdian, otherwise he would be easily impeached.
After asking around, there really was no good solution. Wei Yuan thought about it for himself and felt that maybe he should fight a good battle now and rely on his achievements to make the Bao family look at him favorably.
At this time, most of the Xu family youths in the new city have advanced to the Bone Forging Realm, and only a few thousand are still fusing their blood. The qualifications of these young people are still quite good, and they are now an elite force that cannot be ignored.
As for the Witch Clan's goal, it has already been set, which is the Kingdom of Rain in the northwest.
There are large and small witch tribes scattered in this direction, and there is a large-scale city five hundred miles away. This city is the traditional witch domain, and the human race has never conquered it.
When Wei Yuan was preparing for the war, the old hoeer finally returned, followed by two caravans. The first batch brought back 50,000 pieces of Ning brocade and 200,000 catties of raw silk.
Wei Yuan put the raw silk into the warehouse, but Yun Jin did not unload the truck. Calculating the time, Tianyu should come back. Sure enough, within two days, Tianyu led a witch caravan to the edge of the boundary.
This time Tianyu brought ores, medicinal materials, blood necklaces and 20,000 sacrifices, in exchange for 50,000 pieces of cloud brocade. All the materials Tianyu brought were more expensive than 50,000 pieces of cloud brocade, and the 20,000 sacrifices became nothing more.
Gift.
After Tianyu left, Wei Yuan estimated that the Huangzu tribe should be stabilized, so he accelerated the pace of preparations for war.
This was his first time fighting outside the boundary. At this time, Wei Yuan discovered that there were many factors to consider, from the selection of troop types to marching routes, to logistics and supplies. There were so many things involved, which was much more complex than when fighting a purely defensive war within the boundary.
It's countless times more complicated.
Fortunately, Wei Yuan is not fighting alone. There are thousands of people in Wanli Rivers and Mountains helping him share the burden. After experiencing the test of different tasks over time, many people in Wanli Rivers and Mountains have shown talents in different aspects. Among them, in military affairs
There are about 2,000 people who are talented in this field, and half of them are currently being used.
During the preparations for the war, Wei Yuan continuously sent out small groups of reconnaissance riders to scout for intelligence about the Wu clan. Then based on the intelligence and terrain data collected, the mortals in the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains worked out multiple detailed plans for Wei Yuan in just a few days.
choose.
Every plan took care of every detail, even what kind of vehicles to use to load military supplies, and where to arrive at which day and time.
Seven days later, Wei Yuan led an army of 30,000 people to leave Qingming, officially entered the Witch Realm, and began his first expedition.
The first stop of the army was the mine. After passing the mine, the main force of the rear guard Yuan suddenly dispersed. Ten teams of 1,000 men were separated and quickly advanced in a fan shape. Then the main force of the Chinese army, 20,000 people, advanced along the road.
Wei Yuan wore the uniform of an ordinary cavalry and led more than a thousand cavalry to advance quickly, leaving villages behind him along the way. He was not in the middle army, but directly led the forward force of thousands of people.
If you look at the map, you can see that ten teams of thousands of people have spread out across the land, destroying all the Wu villages and towns along the way.
In an ordinary small village, a thousand-man team is enough. If you encounter a powerful village or a large Wu Clan army, several thousand-man teams from the surrounding areas will rush in quickly, either to outflank the retreat, or to directly surround them.
Annihilate.
In this way, the ten cavalry teams gathered and dispersed, sweeping all the way, causing huge panic to the Wu clan in the blink of an eye.
Many small tribes heard the news and had to migrate to the northwest. However, they were overtaken and killed by Wei Yuan's cavalry before they could get far.
At this time, another huge terrain image was built in the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Whatever the Daoji monk who led the ten thousand-man cavalry team saw, it would be shown in the image.
And Wei Yuan can give orders to the Daoji Kaihui warriors leading the team at any time and make corresponding adjustments. To a certain extent, this army has reached the level of using arms and fingers.
Chapter completed!
