Wang She asked Junior Leopard to set off the second day after he left. However, Junior Leopard stayed in the small town centralization at the foot of Tian Long Mystic Mountain for three days before he set off for Zhonghe City.
Firstly, he needed to consolidate his realm, whether it was his fist intent, External Elixir, or even his Level Three cultivation. After his cultivation reached Level Three, the Mysterious Fire in his Dantian had completely integrated with his Internal Qi. This made his Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Internal Qi contain a strong corrosive force. At first, he was not used to it. Secondly, it was because of his little self-esteem. He thought to himself, "Since Wang She asked me to leave early the next morning, I'll leave early the next morning. I'll just stay for a few days. What can you do to me?"
Indeed, he stayed for three days and Wang She didn't do anything to him. However, he was a little bored living alone. He was afraid of delaying things, so he felt balanced and took his horse with him.
Along the way, it was much more lively than when he came. There were people fleeing from the direction of Zhonghe City, and there were also people carrying sabers and swords heading towards Zhonghe City.
In this world, the value of an individual's martial arts was too high. Therefore, in the war, the power of a martial arts master could not be underestimated. Even the imperial court and the army had to rely on the power of these martial arts masters.
Compared to the ordinary army, the martial arts masters were not easy to manage. However, after so many years, an effective mechanism was gradually formed in this world to arrange these martial arts masters who came to participate in the war.
First, rewards. This was for sure. It was a matter of course to be rewarded for meritorious service. Even if these martial arts masters who came to participate in the war and contributed to the country might really come with hot blood and their minds were filled with the feelings of serving the country and never thought of receiving any rewards, as the imperial court, they had to express their displeasure. Otherwise, wouldn't it disappoint the hearts of the martial arts masters in Jianghu? In the future when there was a war, who would help you resist the enemy's martial arts masters? Therefore, they would be rewarded, and it would be a heavy reward.
Second, centralized management. The people of Wulin were not like the army. They were well-trained and knew when to advance or retreat. They were used to being lazy. They might have strong martial arts, but they did not have discipline. Discipline was the most important quality of the army. An army without discipline had no fighting power. Therefore, in this world, as long as these people of the martial arts world were willing to go to battle, they would be arranged to gather together and set up another camp, called "Military Camp".
In the army of every country, there would be a military camp, which was full of people from the martial arts world.
The members of the Military Camp were not fixed. Every time a war ended, a large number of people from the martial arts world would leave. When the next war started, a large number of people from the martial arts world would enter. The so-called "iron camp, flowing soldiers" was the most suitable to describe the Military Camp. The people of the martial arts world in the Military Camp were like mercenaries. Everyone had a different purpose. A small number of them were extremely patriotic, but most of them wanted to stand out. In addition, there were some special people who were wanted by the imperial court, such as great thieves, rapists, bandit leaders, and so on. The purpose of these people entering the Military Camp was to clear their names.
This was also another special function of the Military Camp, which was to clear the names of those Jianghu people with dirty names. As long as they could make enough military achievements in the Military Camp, they could write off everything in the past. Many people who wanted to retire from Jianghu also used this method to draw a clear line with the past. According to the unwritten rule in this world, once one succeeded in clearing one's name in the Military Camp, then no one would investigate the past. This was the unwritten rule of the whole martial arts world, which was tacitly agreed by almost all the big sects and schools in the martial arts world.
Of course, the "no investigation" here meant that no one would openly investigate and seek revenge. As for what to do in private, it depended on each person's ability. In this world, there were many precedents of people being assassinated after clearing their names. But at least, after clearing their names in the Military Camp, even if you were a rat hiding in the deepest part of the earth, you could now come out and walk openly.
In this Military Camp, the only person who had an official rank and could command them was the Camp Supervisor of the Military Camp. The Camp Supervisor of each Military Camp was fixed. He was from the imperial court or the military. These people's origins were complicated. Some were from big sects and schools, some were martial arts masters who had cleared their names in the past, and some were from the military. There were all kinds of people, but one thing was certain. The cultivation of the Camp Supervisor must reach the Bone-Forging Realm. In other words, he must have at least the cultivation of Level Four.
Only with this kind of strength could he subdue these unruly Jianghu scoundrels.
After all, in essence, Jianghu was a world where strength was respected. If one's strength was not enough, even if one used one's official rank to suppress this group of people, they would still not accept it and would always find some trouble for one. For example, if two fellows in the camp were fighting, and you asked them to stop, but they did not listen. What could you do? Of course, you separated them by force. But what if both of them were stronger than you?
You could only stare at them. In this case, even if others did not say anything, you would not be able to stay in the Military Camp. Therefore, unlike other places, the Camp Supervisor of the Military Camp could only be a person with strong martial arts skills. It was impossible to have a talent like a wise general.
Of course, the most important point was that no matter how strong the Camp Supervisor of the Military Camp was or how big the Military Camp was, he did not have the right to command the whole army. He could only listen to the commanding general. If the commanding general told him to go east, he would go east. If the commanding general told him to go west, he would go west. Occasionally, he would be given the right to make decisions in battle, but usually, he would not give him too much autonomy.
Now, Zhonghe City was occupied by the Sect of Flame. As a county of Qianzhou, it was located in the hinterland of the entire Great Jin. Of course, such a thing could not be tolerated in any case. Therefore, when Zhonghe City was occupied, the entire Great Jin started to move. On the third day after Zhonghe City was occupied, it was surrounded by the Great Jin's army in three layers.
Originally, in the eyes of the Jin, although Zhonghe City was not small, it was located in the hinterland. It was not a great city pass. There was not even a moat and there were not many troops. Looking at the situation from all sides, there should be about 5,000 people in the city. According to the allocation of such troops, they would be able to conquer the city in a few attacks.
Unexpectedly, after several days of continuous attacks, the army of the Jin suffered heavy losses. Zhonghe City was still in the hands of the Sect of Flame.
Of course, the loss was not without gain. The biggest gain was to know that although there were not many enemies in Zhonghe City, there were many martial arts masters. Dozens of people's cultivation had reached Level Three. Not only that, the youngest Venerable of the Sect of Flame, Prince Xiaoming, was also in the city. He was a Level Eight expert!
When one's cultivation reached Level Eight, he could completely ignore the advantage of numbers.
Therefore, after this news was confirmed, Li Yuan, the general of the Jin, decisively stopped. He only ordered all the generals to surround Zhonghe City tightly, but did not move. He quietly waited for backup. At the same time, he sent troops to the imperial court to ask for help. What a joke! Although he was the general of the army and had close guards beside him, if a Level Eight expert in the city wanted to assassinate him, it would not be a difficult thing. Therefore, during these days of waiting for backup, he was in a very bad mood. It could be said that days passed like a year. Fortunately, on the fifth day, his long-awaited backup finally arrived. It was Wang She, who was also the biggest guarantee of his safety.
Junior Leopard had already learned all this from the people in the martial arts world who were rushing to Zhonghe City on the way.
"What on earth do these guys from the Sect of Flame want to do? They suddenly and inexplicably occupy a place like Zhonghe City. It is neither a strategic place nor a great city pass. They have occupied it for 10 days and sent so many masters to guard the city. All signs indicate that they should be looking for something!"
… …
… …
"They are looking for something, and something very important. Otherwise, the Sect of Flame would not bear such a big loss to occupy such a place at this time and in this place!"
In the camp of the Jin Army, General Li Yuan looked at the defense map of Zhonghe City on the wall and said firmly, "So, we can't wait any longer. Every day we wait, they will be closer to their target. If this goes on, even if we finally take down Zhonghe City, we will have made mistakes without any merit!" Speaking of this, he glanced at the row of generals and finally fixed his eyes on Wang She, who was sitting beside his chair and gently waving a small fan. "Chief Wang, what do you think?"
Wang She smiled and closed the folding fan in his hand. "This time, I am here to listen to the general's dispatch. If there is anything, just tell me directly. I will do my best to serve the general and make meritorious service for the Jin!"
"How dare I order you to do anything!" Li Yuan criticized in his heart. Although he disliked these lazy people in the martial arts world, Wang She was not an ordinary person in the martial arts world. Not to mention his Level Eight strength, his status as the Chief of Tian Long Taoism would not be lower than that of General Li who commanded 100,000 troops.
Therefore, all along, Li Yuan had been very conflicted. He hoped that Wang She would come quickly to ensure his safety, but he was also afraid that after he came, he would rely on his martial arts and status to not listen to orders and ruin things. Now seeing Wang She's cooperative appearance, whether it was sincere or not, he was still very comfortable.
"Chief, you are exaggerating. How can I, Li Yuan, be able to dispatch you? Tomorrow, I will lead the army to attack. At that time, I hope that Chief Wang can stay in the middle army and wait for Prince Xiaoming to appear. After all, apart from Chief Wang, no one here can deal with an expert like Prince Xiaoming!"
