Chapter 78: National Defense Army

"I am General Niu Erdan, under the throne of King Potian, and I have come to recruit you."

A man in a general's costume walked to the foot of Shekou Mountain and said loudly.

Qiuyue saw that he was an envoy of a group of bandits after all, so she received him well. Unexpectedly, he kept acting like a general to her.

Now he is even more arrogant, demanding the surrender of more than 1,000 people in Shekou Mountain.

"My king has tens of thousands of soldiers and many powerful generals in the court. He will go to the capital to become the emperor in the future."

"Surrender as soon as possible, and my king can give you a good future."

"You have beautiful virgin girls here, who can be concubines for the king."

"My king naturally doesn't like people like you who have scars on your face and are ugly, but I, Niu Erdan, am not picky about food, and I can marry you."

This Niu Erdan was originally a scoundrel, and he has never been glorious in his life.

Since I followed King Potian in the rebellion and got the position of a general, I finally got a chance to shine. I feel like my ancestors are so proud.

Now, whenever I talk to people, I have to act like a general.

The only flaw is that King Potian's subordinates are all men. After so long, he hasn't even got half a wife.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to be an envoy, I have to get myself a wife.

"Get lost!"

"We have hundreds of virgin girls in Shekou Mountain, and more than a hundred young wives, but they are all from the Dong family."

"Let your broken king give up this idea."

Qiuyue was furious and directly kicked Niu Erdan out.

Recently, there have been rebellions everywhere. Only Shekou Mountain has not rebelled within a radius of dozens of miles.

So some monsters and demons came to recruit under various banners.

They are attracted by the population and food here.

Now there is no food to buy anywhere, there are no locusts, and there is not enough bark and grass roots to eat.

Most of the people here in Shekou Mountain are women and children, and there is also some food.

Recruiting them is nothing more than confiscating the food first, eating the children, and the women become playthings. When they are tired of playing, they will be killed and used as military rations.

Er Gouzi didn't want to pay attention to these people, and just asked Qiuyue to send them back.

Niu Erdan was kicked out by Qiuyue, and he left angrily, threatening to retaliate.

"Now the whole world is rebelling, why don't you rebel?"

Ji Cang looked at General Niu Erdan who left cursing and asked curiously.

Er Gouzi was checking Ji Cang's wound, and stretched out a finger to poke the black wound, but Ji Cang was unaware.

"Everyone else rebelled, but you are the only one who didn't. When the time comes, you will be the first to be beaten."

"I just want to farm in peace."

There is one more thing Er Gouzi didn't say. He read in the "History of the Great Zhou Dynasty" that the Great Zhou Dynasty had an army composed entirely of cultivators, and they had made great military achievements in history.

I don't know if this army is still preserved.

Er Gouzi then poked Ji Cang's blackened wound hard, poking off a piece of blackened flesh, but Ji Cang still had no feeling.

"Instead of worrying about whether I rebel or not, you might as well worry about your own injuries.

In about a month, you should be able to become a pure zombie, so don't bite me then."

This guy suffered various internal and external serious injuries, and was also poisoned by the zombies.

If it weren't for his high level of cultivation, he would have died many times.

Er Gouzi gave him some ordinary healing pills, but the effect was only slightly better than nothing.

It was all thanks to his strong cultivation that he managed to survive.

The last time he was poisoned by the corpse, the remaining detoxification pills were also used by Ji Cang.

It didn't work, and the corpse poison in his body became more and more serious.

Ji Cang still panted after walking a few steps, looking half dead.

I don't know what this guy came from.

He was already half dead, but every day he still raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sense of pride from the bones.

This demeanor is similar to his big goose.

"It's just corpse poison. I should be able to hold on for three months."

Ji Cang was quite confident that he could hold on for three months.

"I have a treasured detoxification pill. Do you want it?"

Er Gouzi was poisoned by corpse last time. He spent a lot of money to buy a detoxification pill, but he didn't have the chance to use it. It has been kept in the gourd.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Ji Cang asked. If there was a detoxification pill, he wouldn't have to suffer for so long.

"I'll try it with an ordinary detoxification pill for you first. If the detoxification pill can cure it, you can save a pill."

Er Gouzi said truthfully. He would rather let Ji Cang suffer more than waste a pill.

"I've told you, this pill is very expensive. You have to compensate me later."

The two were not related, and they didn't know each other before. It was really hard to give him such an expensive pill.

"No problem, it's just one detoxification pill, I'll return you 100 pills when the time comes."

Ji Cang waved his hand and promised to return 100 pills.

Er Gouzi naturally struck while the iron was hot and asked Ji Cang to write an IOU for 100 detoxification pills.

This guy looked like a young master from a wealthy family, and he took advantage of him while he was in trouble, without any psychological burden.

He blew the ink on the IOU dry, then folded it carefully and put it in his arms.

He then took out the detoxification pill and handed it to Ji Cang.

Ji Cang took the pill and looked at it, nodded and said: "The quality is not bad. With the help of this detoxification pill, the corpse poison can be eliminated in about half a month."

"Then you have a good rest."

After Ji Cang used the detoxification pill for only two or three days, his complexion improved a lot, and he was not so out of breath when walking.

On this day, Ji Cang sat on a big rock and watched Qiuyue and the others practice some basic combat skills.

"You can try to change the formation..."

Under Ji Cang's guidance, the team with spears, short knives, and strong and weak teams were all reorganized.

Qiuyue naturally didn't understand, but it didn't matter anyway, so she did it.

But Er Gouzi had read military books, and he found out at a glance that after such a combination, the team's combat effectiveness could be greatly improved.

"So you also know the art of war?"

"I know a little bit."

Ji Cang nodded reservedly.

"Then may I ask: How can we defeat them when we have few soldiers and long distances?"

Er Gouzi thought of the parts of the military books he had read that he did not quite understand, so he asked Ji Cang tentatively.

"With regular troops, the troops can travel thousands of miles, and only regular troops can reach far..."

Ji Cang still responded calmly and explained one by one, which made Er Gouzi suddenly enlightened.

Er Gouzi was overjoyed and asked again: "You can know the gains and losses by planning, and you can know the movements by doing..."

After asking more than a dozen questions in a row, Ji Cang explained them in a simple and plain way, pointing out the most critical principles.

Er Gouzi felt that he had discovered a treasure, and when he had nothing to do, he would chat with Ji Cang.

He found that Ji Cang knew everything from heaven to earth, from ancient times to the present, and always had that calm demeanor, revealing a hint of arrogance.

It was through Ji Cang's mouth that he knew how big the Great Zhou Dynasty was, how big the nine states and 186 counties were, and many secrets of cultivating immortals...

"The book says that the Great Zhou Dynasty had a very powerful national defense army. Is it still there now?"

When Er Gouzi read "History of the Great Zhou Dynasty", he saw the name of the National Defense Army more than once.

Whenever the Great Zhou Dynasty was in crisis, it was this army that turned the tide.

"National Defense Army, this is the army led by Taizu himself when the Great Zhou was founded, and it has made great military achievements.

But the Great Zhou has the disaster of sea monsters in the east, evil ghosts as neighbors in the west, giants invading in the north, and the Wan Yao Kingdom spying in the south, and there are all kinds of unrest inside.

The National Defense Army is no longer as good as before because of the internal and external troubles.

"Now is indeed a good time to rebel. Do you want to reconsider and call yourself a king?"

"I think you can be called the King of Shekou Mountain."

Ji Cang looked at Er Gouzi with a playful face, not knowing whether he was telling the truth or joking.
