Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

Although Lingwu City is one of the gateways to Liangzhou, its geographical features are completely different from that of Liangzhou.

The territory is mountainous, hilly, and crisscrossed by water systems, so cavalry is useless here and cannot play a huge role.

Even if this cavalry is a first-class elite, and the mount on its crotch is a dragon-scaled horse comparable to a ferocious beast, it is still not enough to make up for the shortcomings caused by this geographical deficiency.

Unless, this cavalry is not actually used to protect Lingwu City, but is used as a mobile force to form a strategic containment on the three states of Hebei, Liang, and Yanzhou. This is the most likely possibility.

What is the advantage of cavalry?

The biggest advantage lies in mobility, especially dragon-scale horses like these, which are comparable to ferocious beasts. They can gallop freely and come and go like the wind. Today they are in Jizhou, and tomorrow they may be in the hinterland of Liangzhou. They are not enough to attack cities and land, but they are involved in field battles. Harassment, strangulation of scouts, suppression of news, delivery of information, etc. have irreplaceable and huge functions.

Meng Zhao felt that with the head of Yanping County Prince's Mansion, it was impossible to imagine such a deep strategic direction. It was probably because of the guidance of experts from the imperial court.

Of course, although this news interested him, there was nothing he could do to cause trouble. This could be regarded as a tacit understanding.

As for the second news, it made Meng Zhao feel quite troubled and even stuck in his throat.

"Zhu Xie Chiri, I didn't expect that the imperial court would be willing to send this genius general to Lingwu City to fight with me. It seems that the imperial court values ​​this small Lingwu City very much!"

In the lobby, sandalwood lingers, and the heater is like the sun.

On both sides of the seat are a group of trusted and strong men, many innate, not to mention that the strong men are like clouds and rain, but they are not much different.

Meng Zhao held the paper in his hand and said with a dark look.

Zhu Xie is a surname from a large family in the Dayong Dynasty. It can also be traced back to the Taizong period. It belongs to a family of generals. Although it does not have a title and is not among the nobility, the family has talented people born from generation to generation and works wholeheartedly. In the military, the military in Dayong has great connections and influence.

To a certain extent, the Zhu Xie family is very weak. Politically speaking, and in terms of status, this family is not even comparable to some nobles who have only arisen for a few decades. Because they do not have a title to pass on, they are just bumpkin. The kind that is easily despised.

However, not having a title does not mean that there is no strength. The Zhu Xie family is a die-hard loyalist, vassal, and highly trusted member of the Beitang royal family. In addition, they have inherited military skills and have an endless stream of good generals. In terms of strength, some marquises have no actual duties. , the Duke is no match for this mere general.

Of course, because of this, the influence of the Zhu Xie family is limited to the military. They are good at leading troops and can be regarded as a sharp knife, but their interpersonal interactions and political influence in North Korea and China are basically zero.

Whether it is to reassure the Beitang royal family or because of his nature, such actions have limitations after all.

Compared with the Meng family, who can be called the local tyrant, they are not even inferior. The Meng family is not without strength in the military, but in other aspects, it can crush the Zhu Xie family.

The only thing the Zhu Xie family can do better than the Meng family is that they are trusted by the royal family and are in the heart of the emperor.

Zhu Xie Chiri is the eldest son of the contemporary Zhu Xie family. He was born with a strange phenomenon. His hair is as red as blood, he is born with divine power, and his energy and blood are like elephants.

It is said that it is a body with some kind of extremely powerful special constitution, but unfortunately the specific one is unknown.

He was rarely gifted and courageous, so he practiced the unique military strategy inherited from his family. He joined the army at the age of twelve and was transferred to Ningzhou, the far south of China, to quell the rebellion of the Tu tribe. He accumulated merits as a soldier and spent three years. At the age of fifteen, he became a member of the army. Military lieutenant colonel.

After returning to Yujing City in Yongzhou, he was promoted to the rank of Yulin Guards School Lieutenant, one of the emperor's imperial guards, and was granted the title of sixth rank.

In another four years, he was promoted to the third chief of the Yulin Guards, and was granted the title of fifth rank, comparable to a general in the border area.

In fact, strictly speaking, he is also a talented strongman who is suddenly unable to do anything. Unfortunately, he is hidden in the army and is not known to the outside world. In the martial arts world, few of his deeds are spread. Otherwise, even if he is not as outstanding as Shen Tianci, he is still a genius. Second only to the top talents in that ranks.

This kind of person, excluding age, can already be regarded as a general in the army, and including age, he can almost be regarded as a handsome man carefully cultivated by the imperial military. In the future, he may even be a military commander in another state.

Although this is difficult, it is not impossible. Youth is Zhu Xiechiri's biggest advantage.

However, Meng Zhao did not expect that the gentlemen of the imperial court would be willing to send such a precious kid to a small place like Lingwu City to compete for the position of the chief general of the Yangwu Army.

Aren't you afraid that such a young general with unlimited future will be trapped in the endless power struggle and be crippled?

Meng Zhao's words are by no means alarmist. As long as the military power is not controlled by people elected by Lingwu City, even the royal generals will inevitably fall into overt and covert fights with the local forces. This is a group of flies that come over from time to time to harass and annoy. It's disgusting, but I can't kill it with brute force.

This kind of struggle is more of a test of one's communication skills and political abilities, but there is less need for the ability to lead and manage the army.

Therefore, Meng Zhao doubted whether the imperial court had been away from the place for too long and had become high-minded and low-handed.

Of course, if Zhu Xie Chiri can really deal with these things, that would be even better. He will be properly trained and a brave and strategic general will make his debut.

Or, Zhu Xie Chiri could lead the army, and Beitang He could fight with the forces in the city, and with both his civil and military skills, he might be able to hold the entire Yangwu Army in his hands.

Some of the people below knew about Zhu Xie Chiri, while others knew nothing about him. After a short exchange, they all generally understood his background and abilities, and felt that this person was menacing and might not be easy to deal with.

"Sir, this matter is actually easy to say and difficult to say. The only thing is whether you are sure that you can defeat this person with force. If you can, then there is nothing to be afraid of. If not, you may have to find another way."

The speaker was a handsome man about thirty years old, with two small black beards above the corners of his lips, handsome eyebrows, and a temperament as elegant as a orchid orchid tree, exuding a faint fragrance.

The aura on his body is also quite powerful, as powerful as the ocean waves. He is already a master of Qi training.

This person is one of the newly recruited Xiantian strongmen, Xiao Yun. He was born as a casual cultivator and has an ordinary family background. However, he has some potential for quick wits and good luck. He has entered the late Xiantian stage at the age of less than thirty. He is also a big and small person. Genius, it is not impossible to make further progress in the future.

The reason why he defected to Meng Zhao was very simple. He wanted to acquire a master's secret knowledge to continue his martial arts path. There were many similar people.

These days, martial arts secret books are very precious, Xiantian is already a rare version, and Grandmaster Martial Arts is a rare treasure that can be passed down by the sect family.

That is, Meng Zhao has a divine mirror that can deduce and integrate martial arts and accumulate huge wealth and advantages.

Martial arts secrets are the most in-demand martial arts resources.
