Chapter 158: The Way of Cold Blood

The sunset sun dyed the earth bloody at the end of the desert. Li Ang was breathing. Just now he had a final battle with Ran Min, and he lost. Although Ran Min's Zhu Longma was a factor in his loss, he had to admit that Ran Min, who was serious, was the strongest person he had ever seen. His two-handed attack on the horse was an absolute killing martial arts.

Walking to Li Ang, Ran Min patted his shoulder, "When should I find a good horse? For us, a good horse is the second weapon. A good horse can make you 30% more powerful in cavalry battles. Your gun skills are very strong. If you fully practice it, you may be able to defeat me. I am looking forward to that day!"

Listening to Ran Min's words, Li Ang smiled. He practiced internal gun skills, not many people, not even a school, and he had to understand many things by himself. Moreover, the development of cold weapons in this era was surprising. Many of the skills of later generations had been learned in the army, and the skills of internal energy were even more sophisticated.

Only by relying on continuous practical training can his spear technique be enlightened and created a complete school one day in the future. However, at that time, the two-handed blade technique of the man who should have been called the King of Wudao in front of him may become stronger! Looking at Ran Min, Li Ang couldn't help but think.

"To be honest, your martial arts are not complete!" Ran Min suddenly said, "Whether gun skills or sword skills are all a bit incomplete, but you can practice to this point, which really makes me a little envious."

"Is my sword technique complete?" Li Ang looked at Ran Min with some confusion. His murderous sword was taught to him by the high priest of Moshedi. It did not hide its own personal information, and it would be incomplete.

"Murdering Sword. That's what you call that sword technique?" Ran Min grinned and smiled. Then he pulled out the long sword he used for his cemetery battle and threw it to Li Ang. "Actually, the cemetery battle technique I practiced and your sword technique all came from a set of axe techniques."

"The Great Thunder Sword Technique and the Great Thunder Sword Technique are the real names of the sword technique of you and me." Ran Min looked at Li Ang who was holding the sword and said, "One hundred and fifty years ago, the first step in the battle between the powerful general Cao Tuo in the Qin Dynasty was used to fight with the two-handed axe. Even if he was as strong as General Zhenbei, Lu Bu and others, he could not take his axe attack head-on. It can be said that his axe technique has reached the pinnacle of destructive power. In the infantry battle, the only thing that can barely compare with it was the two-handed halberd technique of the Imperial Guard General Dian Wei."

"After General Cao Tuo's death, although his axe technique was passed down, no one used his axe to move, so his descendants reduced the weight of the axe by 50%. However, the power of the axe technique used by such an axe was greatly reduced, and it was not as strong as that of General Cao Tuo's that year." Ran Min glanced at Li Ang and continued to say, "The Emperor Taizong, who could not bear the loss of this axe technique, recorded this axe technique into a book and put it in Tai's book at that time.

I hope that later generations can learn it, but I didn’t expect that the martial arts masters and the Moshe masters were very interested in this axe technique. After learning the axe technique, they believed that the axe used by General Cao Tuo during his lifetime could basically be concluded that not many people could use it in the future. So they referred to their experience in martial arts and created a set of swordsmanship and swordsmanship, and named it after General Cao Tuo’s reputation as the “Great Thunder God” when he was alive.”

"Although the practice of the Great Thunder Sword Technique and the Great Thunder Sword Technique have been much relaxed, the sword technique that can be spread throughout the world is not preserved by the Taixue Academy, and the high-quality scholar of the Wu family and the high-quality scholar of the Moshe Academy were taught by people with high qualifications." Ran Min took the long sword handed over by Li Ang and clenched the long sword and said, "My company's Great Thunder Sword Technique was passed down to me by Grand Master Qiu Sheng. Compared with the Great Thunder Sword Technique, the Great Thunder Sword Technique was incomplete when it was created. Because the heavy sword body lost the sword, the sword was originally light and sharp, and it was somewhat biased towards sword technique, but its power was not weak, so the title of Killing Sword Technique was named. Moshe believed that the incomplete Great Thunder Sword Technique had the reputation of General Cao Tuo during his lifetime, so he kept using the title of Killing Sword."

Hearing that his sword skills had such a origin, Li Ang picked up his black giant sword and pulled it out. As his wrist flipped, the sword wind was howling, and he felt the experience of using the sword in the battle formation recently. He felt that something seemed to be missing in the killing sword. He returned to the sword and entered the sheath. Li Ang looked at Ran Min and said in a deep voice, "Brother Ran, can you use the Great Thunder God Sword Technique to show me?"

"Okay." Ran Min agreed. He told Li Ang about the Great Thunder God Sword Technique. He wanted to hand over the sword technique to Li Ang, hoping that he could understand the complete Great Thunder God Sword Technique. After all, it is difficult to find a good opponent. He used to fight with people, so it was difficult to fight happily. Li Ang in front of him was the only person who could make him use all his strength. He naturally hoped that he would become stronger.

The Thunder God sword technique used by Ran Min is similar to that of Li Ang’s killing sword. They are both powerful and powerful ways, but the attack is more direct, and there are not as many variations in the killing sword. However, in terms of power alone, they are above the killing sword.

After using the Great Thunder God's sword technique, Ran Min put away the knife and stood up, looking at Li Ang. He frowned and murmured, but he looked a little like Chen Qingzhi was thinking about things.

"Brother Ran, can you borrow a knife?" Li Ang suddenly walked to Ran Min and looked at the long knife by his waist. Seeing that Li Ang was searching for him, Ran Min didn't say anything nonsense and handed it to him directly.

After taking the knife, Li Ang drew his sword and danced. It was the Great Thunder God sword technique that Ran Min had just used. In fact, this sword technique is somewhat similar to his sword technique. He only read it once and remembered it almost the same. When he used it at this time, it was no different from when Ran Min used it.

After using the sword along the way, Li Ang could not notice anything unusual, so he could only hand the sword back to Ran Min. After thinking about returning, he also used the sword to practice it with the murder sword every day to see if he could understand any secrets.

"Brother Ran, we have had a great time these days. It's almost time to do some serious business." Looking at Ran Min who had put away his long sword, Li Ang couldn't help but think that he had handed over all military affairs to Chen Qingzhi and Ma Jun and others these days.

"That's right, when will you become stronger, I will compete with you again." Ran Min knew that Li Ang was talking to him and quickly replied. He had been enjoying himself a little these days, and he was waiting for Li Ang to enter the country later.

"Then let's go back?" Li Ang walked to his war horse. Looking at the horse's sluggish look, he couldn't help but sigh. Although his horse was pretty good, it was really not good to compare with Ran Min's fierce Zhu Long horse. In the past few days, there have been several times in the cavalry battle with Ran Min.

He became fierce and kicked and bit his mount, which made him lose his hands together with the blade technique and hurriedly defeated the north.

'It's time to think of a way to get a good horse!' Looking at the red Zhu Long horse under Ran Min's crotch, Li Ang said intimately, looking at the mount of Zhu Long's horse, he shook his head.

As soon as he returned to the military camp, a messenger found Li Ang, saying that Chen Qingzhi asked him to go to the Central Army tent. There was something important to discuss. Seeing that the atmosphere in the army was a bit abnormal, Li Ang frowned and went directly to the Central Army tent with Ran Min.

"General, our coolies who built the road were attacked, and the convoy from Wanzhou was also ambushed. Fortunately, the Dragon Cavalry went to a team of thousands of people this time, otherwise the supplies would be robbed." Chen Qingzhi said with a serious expression when he saw Li Ang come in.

"What's the loss?" Li Ang was not too surprised when he heard the bad news. If Liao Yuanhuo did not take any action to cause any damage, he would suspect that they had any conspiracy.

"Three hundred coolies died, and nearly one hundred people were lost to the Dragon Cavalry and the escorted convoy." Chen Qingzhi had ordered people to set up a sand table and said on the terrain, "There are nearly three thousand horse thieves coming here. They are ambushing here. If there weren't a trainer and the hawks were discovered in time, our losses would be even greater."

"There should be two tribes in this area, right?" Looking at what Chen Qingzhi pointed, Li Ang's eyes showed a cold light, "They can't not know about the three thousand horse thieves." Li Ang's voice was cold. The officers present knew that the general who didn't look cruel had murderous intent, but they did not object. Just like Li Ang said, "The three thousand horse thieves, there was such a big movement, and these two tribes could not not know about it, but they did not send anyone to signal them, so the only possibility was that they colluded with the horse thieves.

"The general is right, I think so too." Chen Qingzhi nodded, then pointed at the whip, "So for the majesty of the Qin Dynasty, we must teach these barbarians a lesson and let them know the fate of being an enemy of the Qin Dynasty."

"Extermination of the clan. Such rebellion is also a disaster." Li Ang said, judging that the fate of these two tribes would be completely destroyed. "What should I do if Ziyun and Chen Qingzhi's word "Land" are planned?"

"Ziyun thought that we should first send troops to control the escape route of these two tribes, and then send an edict to the desert to slaughter these two tribes in a dignified manner, so that all the other tribes can know the fate of colluding with the horse thieves and becoming enemies with the Qin." Chen Qingzhi also planned to use thunder to deal with this matter. For them, if the logistics are harassed, it would be a great trouble, and everyone here has their own dignity. If they ask for reinforcements from the Anxi Protectorate's Office for such a thing, they will not be able to accept it, and Chen Qingzhi will be the same.

"Do you kill the chicken to warn the monkey?" Li Ang said to himself, and couldn't help but look at Chen Qingzhigao, who seemed gentle, without any sympathy. This man was like him on the battlefield, and his blood was cold. "Then do it according to Ziyun's wishes, but you have to bring the tribal coalition forces and leave the prisoners to them to do, so that it will not make it too difficult for our soldiers to do it."

"The general is thoughtful, I've recorded it." Chen Qingzhi nodded. It would be best if someone does it for the massacre of the elderly, weak, women and children. For the Qin Legion, which has strict military discipline, it has always been equipped with a criminal army. Those massacre teams composed of serious criminals are specializing in these things. For an army, massacre of the elderly, weak, women and children is not a glorious thing, and it is easy to cast a shadow on the soldiers' hearts. Although this practice is suspected of deceiving oneself, the soldiers did not personally massacre those elderly, weak, women and children. Morally, the Qin Legion is still glorious.

After deciding the combat plan, the two thousand-man teams of the Dragon Cavalry were ordered to block the routes that the two tribes could escape, and Ran Min's three thousand infantry began to prepare for combat to attack as the main force. After dispatching various tasks, all the officers retreated, and only Li Ang and Chen Qingzhi were left in the quiet tent.

Li Ang always thought that Chen Qingzhi in front of him was a wise man, and he was more like a staff officer than a general. However, the cold blood that Chen Qingzhi showed just now made him see another side of him, not the young man who looked gentle, but a complete soldier. "I originally thought you wouldn't agree with extermination?"

Hearing Li Ang’s words, Chen Qingzhi couldn’t help laughing, “I don’t like massacre, but for the Qin Dynasty, massacring the excess desert tribe is a must-do. For me, as a soldier, it’s only execution, and it has nothing to do with my personal wishes.”

"I heard that Ziyun's father was a devout Confucian believer, and the elders in the family should also pay attention to be kind and forgiveness." Li Ang was a little interested in Chen Qingzhi's answer. It was hard for him to imagine how Chen Qingzhi, who was born in a scholarly family and had never really been to the battlefield before, would have such an idea.

"Actually, I am also a Confucian believer." Chen Qingzhi smiled and then replied quietly, "It's just that I'm not blind. For the country, Confucianism is not a good knowledge of governing the country. Although there are many Confucian believers among the ministers after Emperor Wu of the old Han Dynasty, the means they used to govern the country were Legalism, and the ability of officials had nothing to do with the doctrines he believed in."

"For the people, Confucianism has its positive side, but for the country it is a bit pedantic and inappropriate." Chen Qingzhi said flirtatiously, "It was like the chaos in the late Han Dynasty. It was because the national strength was exhausted in the previous siege of the Qiang people. The civil officials who believed in Confucian resisted the policy of extermination of military officers, which led to the Qiang people rebelling and surrendering. It took fifty years to exchange for a few years of peace. For the country, these Confucian officials who believed in Confucian and benevolent and righteous committed unforgivable crimes against their people."

"So you agree with the policy of genocide." Looking at Chen Qingzhi who rationally expressed his views, Li Ang suddenly realized that the gentle appearance of the young man in white in front of him was just a disguise. In fact, he might be more bloodthirsty than Ran Min, but was just covered up by the calm lock.

"I don't agree. I said it has nothing to do with personal wishes." Chen Qingzhi replied quietly, "I just stand on the standpoint of a soldier and look at these things from the perspective of the country, just like you, General."

When Li Ang heard Chen Qingzhi say this, he laughed. The young man in front of him who likes to wear white clothes is the same type of person as him.
