Text Chapter 178 Recruiting Soldiers and Buying Horses (I)
The head of Lanyumen was under pressure from Zhenyi Palace, so it was not easy for him to let his men directly join the war to help Yang Qing. However, the main reason why the head and Yang Qing signed an agreement when they started the army in Shaotai Mountain was the third-grade magic weapon. If Yang Qing encountered trouble in the future, he could borrow the third-grade magic weapon from Lanyumen at any time.
The head also agreed that Hong Changhai could use the magic weapon to coerce Yang Qing at a critical moment, but the head meant that before we control Nanxuan Prefecture, the signed agreement cannot be revoked, and Yang Qing still has to be protected, otherwise it is not in the interests of Lanyumen to let others get Nanxuan Prefecture, so we only need to deceive Yang Qing. Maybe Yang Qing will not be able to bear the pressure and will agree to Lanyumen's conditions. If Yang Qing does not agree, then the magic weapon will be lent to Yang Qing.
But Hong Changhai acted on his own. Seeing that Yang Qing did not agree, he even hoped that when he pushed Yang Qing to the edge of the cliff, Yang Qing would naturally agree. But who would have thought that Yang Qing would collapse? He actually had a backhand and took down Zhang Decheng in one go.
In this way, Lanyumen was the first to tear up the cooperation agreement, and then it was Yang Qing's turn to break the agreement. Hong Changhai knew that he had made a big mess.
If nothing unexpected happened, the elders who lived in Nanxuanfu and were responsible for coordinating between Nanxuanfu and Lanyumen should be driven out of Nanxuanfu.
Without these old guys sitting in charge and advocating justice for the Lanyumen disciples who had joined Nanxuanfu, the Lanyumen disciples in Nanxuanfu would have to obey orders, otherwise Yang Qing could kick them out at any time.
Still want to take the opportunity to squeeze those more than 400 Lanyumen disciples into Nanxuanfu?
Now even if Lanyumen was allowed to squeeze those 400 disciples into Nanxuanfu, Lanyumen would not dare to do so.
The reason is very simple. Without the elders stationed in Nanxuanfu to coordinate, restrain Yang Qing, maintain the fairness of cooperation, and ensure that the disciples of Lanyumen will be rewarded for their merits and not punished for their mistakes, then the disciples of Lanyumen will be suppressed by Yang Qing in Nanxuanfu, and their chances of promotion will be slim. If they are disobedient, Yang Qing can kick them out. Kickout is good. What if Yang Qing keeps you and slowly tosses you around? You dare not run away.
Now, stuffing the disciples of Lanyumen into Nanxuanfu is equivalent to giving people to Yang Qing for nothing.
The disciples of Lanyumen who have joined Nanxuanfu are probably the most helpless. After entering this circle, they can't leave or come as they please. Will they listen to Yang Qing or Lanyumen in the future?
They know very well that once the cooperation agreement between the two parties is torn up, the ability of Lanyumen to restrain them has been greatly reduced. It is Yang Qing who can control them.
Some people are thinking that they might as well serve Yang Qing in the future, but they don't know whether their background in Lanyumen can gain Yang Qing's trust and reuse.
Elder Hong, standing on the ridge, didn't know how to report to the headmaster when he returned. He was sure that Yang Qing, who was facing life and death, would definitely agree, so he did this. Who would have thought that Yang Qing had a backup plan.
Looking at the bodies buried by the dead below, Elder Hong felt a pain in his flesh. Among them were many disciples of Lan Yumen. The others who were alive would probably have nothing to do with Lan Yumen in the future.
Lan Yumen had always wanted to control Nanxuan Prefecture, but today it was completely ruined. One wrong move and the whole game was lost.
In this sudden war, there was only one winner in the end. Zhang Decheng, who took the lead in launching the attack, was a mess, and Liu Jingtian was used without knowing it. It would be difficult for Lan Yumen, who broke the contract, to intervene in the affairs of Nanxuan Prefecture again. Only Yang Qing could turn the tide and reverse the situation in a critical moment. Yang Qing was the biggest winner.
Yang Qing ignored the hundreds of Lanyumen disciples on the ridge. After saying goodbye to Liu Jingtian, he buried all the dead on the spot and took away all the living captives. He did not leave a single person alive for Liu Jingtian to investigate the cause of the incident.
The snow had stopped and the sun was shining.
The large group of people did not stay in Wanxing Prefecture. They set out for Nanxuan Prefecture.
Elder Hong had a gloomy face and led hundreds of Lanyumen disciples to accompany him on the mountains on one side, as if he wanted to communicate with Yang Qing.
Even Miao Yi could see that Lanyumen and Nanxuan Prefecture had torn their faces, but he still couldn't figure out the internal reasons, mainly because he had always had a bad relationship with the mountain owner Qin Weiwei, and no one told him about this. His Lanyumen disciples were either killed by him or taken to Xingxiu Sea and killed by goblins.
In short, in his opinion, the people of Lanyumen were nothing. It would be great to recruit them to do work. If they didn't obey, they could just be killed.
Anyway, he had always made the people of Lanyumen obedient. He did not feel any difficulty in controlling the disciples of Lanyumen.
Miao Yi was a little depressed that so many people were left alone. If he was not assigned more people, he, the master of Donglai Cave, would have to do odd jobs himself. By then, even if he had enough wish beads, he would not have time to practice.
But he was embarrassed to ask Yang Qing for people. After all, he was not the only one who was short of people. Even his immediate boss Qin Weiwei was almost alone. Moreover, his original people did not die in this battle, but were killed by him when he took them out to do private work. He was a little unconfident to ask.
The place of battle was adjacent to Wanxing Prefecture and Nanxuan Prefecture. It didn't take long for the people to return to Nanxuan Prefecture. After finding an open area, they stopped again to reorganize.
Reorganization naturally meant redistributing the manpower of each mountain. Most of the lost people on the mountain were replenished, but the Zhenhai Mountain on Qin Weiwei's side was very embarrassing.
After replenishing the manpower in other mountains, Yang Qing only assigned twenty people from his direct subordinates to Qin Weiwei.
It doesn't matter that the relationship between the two parties is father and daughter. In front of everyone, those who deserve punishment must still be punished. It is impossible to lose the battle and pretend that nothing happened. If this is the case, how will Yang Qing control his subordinates in the future?
Qin Weiwei was fooled so recklessly that almost all the people in Zhenhai Mountain were wiped out. Although Yang Qing did not reprimand Qin Weiwei in person, everyone could see that Yang Qing was punishing Qin Weiwei in disguise.
Afterwards, the battle was about merit and rewards, and Qin Weiwei probably had nothing to worry about.
In this battle, two mountain masters of Nanxuan Mansion died in the battle, and Yang Qing re-appointed two people to take over.
As for the number of cave masters who died in the battle, Yang Qing did not intervene in the arrangements and left it to each mountain master to appoint them. He would not deprive the people below of their rights.
After the men and horses were reorganized, Yang Qing asked each mountain master to leave half of his men to guard their respective territories, and the remaining people followed him directly into the Changping Mansion, preparing to take over the Changping Mansion while the Changping Mansion was empty.
Xiong Xiao reminded: "Palace Master, is it inappropriate for us to take over Changping Mansion? Will it make the palace master angry?"
Yang Qing said calmly: "How can we let others pick the fruit that everyone in Nanxuan Mansion has worked hard to harvest? If you don't even have this courage, it will only make people look down upon you more. I hope that the harvest of the power beads will be around the corner. You will follow me first." Let’s occupy the Changping Mansion and collect this year’s wish beads. If the palace master insists on letting us withdraw later, we can return to Nanxuan Mansion.”
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Yang Qing insisted on this, so everyone had no choice but to accept the order.
Seeing that everyone was still a little uneasy, Yang Qing suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Occupy Changping Mansion. Excluding the harvest of Changping Mansion this year, except for the surrendered ones, the rest will be your reward for this battle. Let's go!"
As soon as I heard that there was such a benefit, there would be someone taller to hold up the sky if it fell. Since the master of the palace was not afraid, what did everyone have to be afraid of? They immediately became energetic and accepted the order with high morale, leaving half of the manpower behind. The others were like bandits. Normally, Yang Qing would fly straight into Changping Mansion.
Almost all the people on the mountain have left, leaving only Qin Weiwei leading more than 20 people. All the people in Zhenhai Mountain are here.
Qin Weiwei had no part in seizing the territory to share the fruits of victory, so Yang Qing left her behind, which was considered a continuation of punishment.
In fact, Zhenhai Mountain can't allocate more manpower to grab the territory. There are only about twenty people in total. Two people are assigned to guard each cave. There are no idlers.
The people left behind by Yang Qing didn’t feel aggrieved for not being able to share the fruits of victory and follow Qin Weiwei, because almost all the people in Zhenhai Mountain were dead. With so many cave master positions vacated at once, they must choose from among them. Can’t choose? Those who serve as cave masters must also be reused. This is where Yang Qing is great.
Sure enough, after Qin Weiwei watched everyone leave, she turned around and filled in the six vacant cave master positions.
The four cave masters, Gongsun Yu, Li Youqian, Zhang Yuniang and Miao Yi, naturally remained intact.
Among the ten cave masters, nine of them are assigned one person each. Only Miao Yi's Donglai Cave has no one because he still has Yan Xiu alive. The others are even more polished than him. How pitiful is Zhenhai Mountain? One can imagine.
Of the twenty people left by Yang Qing, six were appointed as cave masters, and nine more were assigned to various caves. The remaining five were all kept by Qin Weiwei. In such a big Zhenhai Mountain, she, the mountain master It is impossible not to leave some people around to obey orders, not to mention that if they are all taken out, they cannot be divided evenly.
There were ten cave masters, one barefoot and one soldier. Everyone looked at each other, a little speechless.
Not far away, Hong Changhai was not leaving with someone, nor was he leaving. He really didn't know how to deal with the boss when he returned.
Miao Yi looked at the hundreds of Blue Jade Sect disciples not far away and was a little jealous. He muttered unhappily and complained: "I have never seen such a pitiful cave master. This is the first time I have seen him."
Qin Weiwei turned her head and felt that Miao Yi was saying that she, the mountain master, was incompetent. Yinya bit her lip and finally endured it without saying anything. In the past, she would have probably been able to say back right away and say, "You don't want to do it." You don’t have to do this cave master, I’ll replace him immediately.
Gongsun Yu also knew that Cave Master Miao Da had always had trouble getting along with Mountain Master Qin Weiwei. Before, he would have immediately sided with Qin Weiwei and refuted Miao Yi. But it was naturally different now, but he still actively helped Qin Weiwei speak and persuaded with a smile: "Miao Cave Master, as long as we survive this period of time, the Mountain Master will naturally be able to find manpower to supplement our efforts."
Miao Yi snorted, thinking that of course adulterers and adulterers help each other talk. With so many people missing, he didn't believe they could fill them up in a short time.
