Facts have proved that He Yunxiao's food diplomacy is very effective.
This move not only directly increased the influence of the new Chu army in the surrounding Qi army, but also caused many Qi troops who were not from the old Chu family army to come to worship the mountain to serve.
The original size of the new Chu army was about 10,000 people, but it has risen accordingly.
Coupled with the fact that more and more old Chu family troops defected, the number of the new Chu army soared from more than 10,000 to more than 40,000 in just half a month.
This is also the result of the New Chu Army's policy of preferring shortages to overuse. If all the Qi troops who came to defect to them were accepted according to their orders, the number of new Chu troops at this time would probably be comparable to the 70,000 soldiers of the Yan Army's Eastern Army.
Ruobao showed no mercy to the newly defected Qi army, high-level soldiers who should be transferred were transferred, those who should be demoted were demoted, and those who should be promoted were promoted. The basic soldiers were all dispersed, scattered and mixed for re-drilling. Those who disobeyed the transfer order would leave. The food and salary of the new Chu army only support soldiers, not uncles.
The expansion of the new Chu army is certainly a happy event, but the subsequent increase in military pay and weapon consumption has really stumped He Yunxiao.
Just robbing the Yandong Army can no longer meet the expenses of the new Chu Army. After all, the Yandong Army only has 70,000 people, and it is a bit embarrassing for them to rely on them to support another 40,000 new Chu Army. Therefore, the new Chu army has to work part-time to rob the Yannan army, which has more than 200,000 people. What ambush scouts, what collects tolls from the Yan Army grain transport team. In short, don't miss any chance to make money.
In the early morning of this day, He Yunxiao came out of Ruobao's room refreshed.
During the day yesterday, Ruobao severely criticized He Yunxiao's point of view of "supporting the new Chu army's robbery" in front of all the soldiers. In the evening, He Yunxiao didn't go to Youbao's place, but went to Ruobao's house to find the venue.
Last night, Ruobao was turning on the light to deal with military affairs. Seeing He Yunxiao coming, she asked He Yunxiao knowingly, "Are you not convinced?"
He Yunxiao repeatedly said: "No, no, I want to be a weak treasure."
Ruobao said again: "Today is a worry-free day."
He Yunxiao put on a straight face on the spot. "What is a worry-free day? How can there be such a saying? I, He Yunxiao, will sleep in my wife's room today. Who dares to have an opinion?"
Ruobao gave He Yunxiao a blank look. Those who know the relationship between the three of them are just the three of them. Since He Yunxiao said what he said.
Ruobao knew that He Yunxiao was venting his anger, but she thought she was right, and naturally it was impossible to admit to He Yunxiao, so she left him alone.
He Yunxiao called "weak treasure" a few times, but could not respond for a long time. Seeing that Fan Ziruo didn't answer, he went straight to him, picked up his legs and hugged him horizontally, and let him blow out the lamp in a hurry!
Although Ruobao has a tough temper, but he is delicate and frail, how can he deal with He Yunxiao. No matter how unconvinced she is, she does not admit defeat, and her body is quite honest. A heroine who is familiar to He Yunxiao can't afford to make waves.
…
The cold wind that night was extraordinarily strong and howling. It hit the window edge with a "slap" sound, which lasted until dawn.
…
Qing Yuzi's or Bai Yufei's "The True Meaning of Freedom" and Xiaoxiao's "No Phase Rebirth Kungfu" are both Taixu sect's top skills. At any time, they can have the ability to overwhelm mountains and seas.
"Phaseless Rebirth" practices "cause and effect cycle", through continuous reincarnation to experience life and self-realization of true meaning, so as to "unify all dharmas into one and transform all dharmas into one".
"Zizai Zhenyi" practices "the good fortune of the heaven and the earth", and relies on the practice of "worry-free and comfortable" to purify oneself, so that "the heaven and man are one, I am the heaven and the earth, and the heaven and the earth are me".
The reason why Qing Yuzi can't beat Xiaoxiao is not that "The True Meaning of Freedom" is not as good as "No Phase Rebirth", but that Qing Yuzi's own cultivation talent is far behind Xiaoxiao. Therefore, Qing Yuzi's "Zi Zi Zhen Yi" only has the Hinayana, but not the Mahayana.
They are all top-level exercises, and "Zizai Zhenyi" is far superior to "No Phase Rebirth", such as Qing Yuzi's maneuvering skills, which can be called superb and unpredictable, even Xiaoxiao can't catch it, so he just borrowed it. The power of heaven and earth.
Another example is that after Qing Yuzi is injured, he can also use the vitality of the world to speed up his healing speed.
However, this healing skill also has a disadvantage, that is, it will increase Qing Yuzi's perception of the surrounding environment.
Unfortunately, Qing Yuzi's room is not far from the room of Ruobao and Youbao.
So her skill is basically useless every night.
It can't be said to be useless, anyway, in the middle of the night, Miss Bai would be so quarreled that she didn't care to heal her injuries. She often had to take a rest and go to sleep, but most of the times she couldn't fall asleep in bed.
…
He Yunxiao came out of the Ruobao room refreshed.
With the blessing of the Soul Eater Pill, even if he sings every night, he will not suffer from back pain at all. For He Yunxiao, who has a big family and a big business, it is simply a priceless treasure.
"Taoist?" He Yunxiao asked in surprise when he saw Qing Yuzi waiting for him.
Qing Yuzi's veil cleverly covered her haggardness and dark circles under her eyes, and she said in a flabbergasted tone, "I am going to Yanyang City, will you go with me?"
"Oh, okay." He Yunxiao agreed.
Qing Yuzi is a rare great master in the world, He Yunxiao doesn't think he and Qing Yuzi know each other very well, at least it's not like "going shopping hand in hand". So Qing Yuzi came to him to "go to Yanyang City together", probably because he had something to say.
The two rode on the road to Yanyang City.
Qing Yuzi hinted: "He Shaoxia, you are young and strong, you should focus more on martial arts."
He Yunxiao was going to prevaricate Daoist Bai with the excuse of his brother-in-law, but he said brazenly: "What the Taoist said is that I practice swords every night."
Qing Yuzi: ...
What are you doing every night? Don't you know
Although Qing Yuzi knew it well, there were some things that women couldn't say easily, not to mention that He Yunxiao and Chu Fan were of the same generation, and she was still He Yunxiao's "elder", so it was even more difficult to say.
She could only continue to hint.
"Although the Soul Devouring Pill can increase the body's resilience, it cannot last long."
"Yes." He Yunxiao said firmly, this is his countless experience.
Qing Yuzi: ...
"The Soul Devouring Pill is neither righteous nor evil, you still need to use it with caution."
He Yunxiao thought about it for a while, he was indeed cautious, every time he closed the doors and windows tightly, and set up an internal force barrier, there was absolutely no possibility of being noticed by others. So he said relievedly: "Thank you for the teaching, Daoist, the boy is well versed in the principle of using it with caution."
"You..." Qing Yuzi hesitated to speak, and almost blurted out the truth.
He Yunxiao: "Taoist?"
"fine."
"The Daoist seems to be obsessed with Soul Eater Pills?" He Yunxiao asked curiously seeing Qing Yuzi always talking about "Soul Eater Pills".
Qing Yuzi's charming face hiding behind the veil showed a trace of disappointment.
"This elixir gathers the aura of heaven and earth, and it is a treasure. Ordinary people lose their lifespan after eating it, because their bodies are weak and cannot withstand the power of the soul-devouring pill. This way of practicing "The True Meaning of Freedom", you can use the power of heaven and earth to reconcile this elixir." , to stimulate the maximum potential... Although you don't know the exercises of the original way, there are other ways to weaken the power of this pill to achieve balance... It's just that the way and the soul-devouring pill have nothing to do with it."
