Chapter 211: Towards
After more than a month and more than ten experiments, Huo Hai finally completed a seemingly reliable closed space design with new alloy materials, allowing Zuo Ci to investigate the valley where the Baihu is located and find a place to build it.
In the past month, Lu Bu led Zhao Yun and others to several strange hands in the Qilian Mountains many times. Except for the golden-eyed eagle, they had already understood the habits of the big brown bear and the snow leopard. After making enough preparations, they were already very sure of successfully killing.
The construction of confined space requires digging tunnels, which is very time-consuming. This is too urgent, so Huo Hai can only wait. However, the war between Yu Fulu and the leaders of the Huns was decided at the beginning of the first lunar month.
With Tian Feng planning on the side, Chu Yan and other Black Mountain soldiers helping, Yu Fuluo easily won a complete victory. Therefore, Tian Feng's plan for more than 200,000 Hexi Huns was also sent to Huo Hai's desk.
According to the plan before departure, it was impossible for these Huns to be managed by Yu Fuluo himself, setting up counties, defence areas, or even rewarding some of the meritorious soldiers. This is what Huo Hai needs the most.
"General, Yu Fuluo can be used, so he must be with him."
Jia Xu, who came from Hexi, suggested to Huo Hai after reading the documents.
"How to stay in France?"
"At present, the place where our Bingzhou stationed troops is located is Mayi, and Mayi is outside the Great Wall. It is not advisable to let foreign generals command too many troops. I suggest that after the general receives the appointment of the prefectural governor of the court, he will set up the Bingzhou capital within the Great Wall and report to Fuluo as the General of the Central Army, leading 5,000 troops, and garrisoning Jinyang." Jia Xu said with a bit of a wicked smile.
"What's the beauty of doing this?" Huo Hai asked again.
"First, Jinyang is surrounded by strong gentry in Bingzhou, and will never collude with Hu foreign generals like Yu Fuluo."
Upon hearing this, Huo Hai nodded.
The Han people of this period were proud of the Han people, especially the great gentry. The Hu Hu were as cheap as pigs and dogs in their eyes. It was unlikely that they would conspire to rebel with the Huns, and what Jia Xu said was reasonable.
Not only that, these people will also become the biggest obstacle to Yu Fuluo's rebellion.
Because they are all their industries near Jinyang, they do not allow foreign tribes to invade and destroy, and the military strength of any of their tribes is not weaker than that of Yu Fuluo. Even if Yu Fuluo really has any unfavorable intentions, it will not cause any major harm to the vicinity of Jinyang.
"Secondly, using him to defend Jinyang can facilitate the general to attack the gentry near Jinyang. After all, they are foreign generals leading the troops, and it is inevitable that they are arrogant and savage!"
Huo Hai nodded again. The old saying goes well. If a scholar meets a soldier, it is difficult to explain it clearly. If this so-called soldier is the Hun soldiers who have just become naturalized, the children of the gentry will be even more difficult to explain.
Huo Hai just needs to let them bite those disobedient people from time to time, which can cause them a lot of trouble and obey them.
However, Jia Xu had three more, saying, "In this way, the Hu people on all sides can see the general's affection for foreign generals and fight to join us. This will have great benefits for the general to subdue the Xianbei people, Wuhuan people, Qiang people, etc. in the future."
In fact, the biggest reason why Jia Xu was willing to switch to Huo Hai was that he was close to foreign tribes. The Jia family, who lived in the border area of Jincheng, had long been in conflict with foreign tribes and had endless contacts, which is also why he helped Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo is also a guy who started his career with foreigners.
"Mr. What the sir said is reasonable. After the class, I will do it like this. By the way, what is the situation in Luoyang now?"
"The emperor's body is becoming increasingly weak and he has completely ignored the government. According to Guo Gongze's judgment, it will be as short as several months or as late as two years." Jia Xu said with a smile.
This time is not much different from history. Within Huo Hai's judgment, he nodded and said, "A few days ago, Zhang Rang had helped me get the appointment edict of the Bingzhou Governor from Liu Hong. However, his power was only within the palace wall. After all, He Jin had the final say. He could not send this edict to Bingzhou. The sir thought, who can I send to Luoyang to get the edict?"
"The general does not need to send someone, he just needs to send a letter to Yuan Benchu. He will find a way to help the edict deliver it to the general. Moreover, what the general wants is not an edict, but a big fan and a legitimate edict. Yuan Benchu can help the general handle these, but the general may owe Yuan Benchu a favor for this."
"Do you owe Yuan Shao a favor? That's okay." Huo Hai smiled.
If this favor is well operated, it may be beneficial to Huo Hai's follow-up plan. It was because Jia Xu saw this that he dared to suggest Huo Hai like this.
Even after Jia Xu wrote a letter in words, the letter was written after a while. After Huo Hai and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled, they began to explain to him what they had made during this period, and let Jia Xu stay and participate in the subsequent plan to hunt the White Tiger.
"The general thinks that the disorder of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will have a certain impact on our wise men?"
Huo Hai nodded and said, "Aura is related to the practice of practitioners and warriors. There is no reason why it has nothing to do with wise people. Perhaps, a wise man like you, under the erosion of high concentration of spiritual energy, can have strange changes in enlightenment or orifices. From then on, it is impossible to say that he has reached another level."
"Enlightenment? Pushing the Essence? What is the basis for the general?" Jia Xu said inexplicably.
"This is from the speculation of the prophets of the Huns. Prophets from all ages have studied the reasons for the emergence of strange beasts. They found that almost all strange beasts were caused by chance and absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy or external energy. The changes will enhance their bodies, enhance their inner attributes, increase their wisdom, and make them powerful. There is no upper limit. Ten times, hundred times, and ten times, are the most common, and thousands, thousands of times.
For example, the Xuanwu giant turtle we found before is tens of thousands of times stronger than ordinary turtles.
And when people encounter this situation, it should be the same.
However, human beings themselves are wise creatures, and practitioners or warriors have a training system that specifically guides these energy into the specific energy they need.
As for how wise men need to absorb these energy, make themselves smarter, or gain some other abilities, this requires research, or to try their luck."
Huo Hai's words made Jia Xu feel nervous. Is the level of wisdom the same as the level of cultivation of a monk or a warrior, and there is a realm division? Different realms and different abilities?
However, after learning that the body was washed away by spiritual energy, even if there was no change, it could make the body stronger, Jia Xu had no resistance. His biggest wish was to live healthy and healthy.
Another half month later, the construction of the underground confined space was finally completed, and Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others also successfully hunted the big brown bear.
According to Ge Xuan's estimate, the brown bear's skin can be made at least three sets of leather armor that can withstand the attack of the late-stage masters with sharp swords. Huo Hai and Zhao Yun did not need it, so they directly assigned it to Lu Bu, Xu Huang, and Guan Hai.
Its bear gall can be used to refine a furnace of at least 100 anti-drug pills. Huo Hai also allocated it to all the generals participating in the war to save their lives and spare them.
The remaining dozens are kept for emergencies.
As for bear paws and brisket, they were stewed directly in a large pot. All the generals and ordinary soldiers involved were given a large bowl of meat soup. Its qi and blood replenishment effect was very strong, which directly improved the realm of many people and greatly improved the team's overall combat effectiveness.
Xiong Gu was left by Ge Xuan to make refining materials, and then produced some and distributed them to the monks.
After enjoying the benefits of hunting strange beasts, everyone became more interested in hunting strange beasts. After receiving the leather armor refined by Ge Xuan, Lu Bu and others immediately led the hunting team to march towards the place where the snow leopards were occupied. Huo Hai led a large team to move towards the confined space.
"Everyone has to conduct multiple escape drills, because the time for the opening of the God-Star chapter will last for three quarters of an hour. None of us knows what extent will the wonder of heaven and earth reach during this period. Someone is buried in snow or soil and rolls into the cracks that suddenly appear. How should he survive and how to rescue each other is the first training event. There are other items that need to be trained, and other things, blown away by strong winds and washed away by heavy waters. They may not be impossible. They all need to undergo rehearsal training and make corresponding self-rescue and rescue equipment to minimize the losses.
Before the hunting team hunts snow leopards, those who can successfully pass the training assessment stay and those who cannot pass will evacuate first with some unnecessary materials and wait outside the mountain for the response." Huo Hai made the final arrangement for everyone.
After his deployment order is issued, everyone will learn various skills such as earthquake escape, rock climbing, swimming, skydiving, etc., and the time it takes not to take too long.
Because, with the experience of hunting big brown bears, Lu Bu and others won’t hunt snow leopards for too long. Only that pair of eagles can fly in the sky. It’s too difficult to hunt, so let’s put it aside.
Just as Huo Hai was making final preparations and training, Zang Min and Cao Cao, who had been away from Shicheng for several months, made new moves. They frequently met with major ethnic groups in Bingzhou, hoping to use them to weaken Huo Hai's influence and wealth in Bingzhou.
However, the effect is not obvious.
Because, in addition to land output, the source of wealth in Bingzhou mainly relies on trade with nearby foreign tribes.
Huo Hai did not take away any land output from local gentry, and there was no big conflict with local gentry in this regard, as for foreign trade.
Now the surrounding Hu people are under the rule of Huo Hai, so there is no foreign trade. These gentry can only trade with Huo Hai to gain something. It is impossible for them to use their own interests to help Zang Min and Cao Cao complete political tasks.
So, Zang Min and Cao Cao were dismayed and felt very weak. After learning about the situation in Luoyang, they really wanted to go back to Luoyang to see if they could turn the situation in a good direction. But at this time, bad news came from Luoyang.
Didn’t Zhang Rang deliver the edict to appoint Huo Hai as the governor of Bingzhou to Bingzhou?
Yuan Shao gave him a trick and could not send it out, so he announced it in public in the court.
This basically satisfies Huo Hai's desire to be the governor of Bingzhou. With this operation, even if He Jin does not allow Zhang Rang to send the edict out of Luoyang, it will be meaningless.
Therefore, immediately Zang Min, the governor of Bingzhou and Cao Cao, the prefect of Yanmen County, would become officials under Huo Hai and act according to Huo Hai's orders.
This result was something that both of them could not accept.
The two discussed it and there were only two ways, one was to abandon their official position and stop serving them.
Second, it means spending money to bribe He Jin or the Ten General Staff to change the place to become an official.
Cao Cao's family is rich, and it is not a big problem to become an official in another place, so Zang Min is different.
It’s not that he can’t afford to buy officials, but that buying and selling official positions is what he hates the most. He thinks that this is the main reason for the destruction of the court. How could he buy officials himself?
"The world is already in chaos, and there will be chaos soon. I want to abandon my official position and live in seclusion. Where will Meng De go?" Zang Min said after making the decision.
"I live in seclusion? I am afraid that the world will be in chaos and there will be no place to hide. I want to return to my hometown to recruit the village to protect myself and wait for the time."
When Zang Min heard this, his eyes narrowed. It seemed that Cao Cao was not a good bird, and he was ambitious!
Because, only local officials can recruit rural brave men to form an army. Returning to their hometown to be local officials and recruiting people from their hometowns can ensure the loyalty of the army to the greatest extent. This is the foundation of doing things.
Although returning to his hometown to be an official does not conform to the official system, in the current situation, as long as you have money, what does the official system count?
