That night, Xie Xin was almost a listener. Most of the time, he listened to Gongsun Sheng admonishing himself.
Gongsun Sheng's meaning is actually very simple and clear. On the one hand, he wants Xie Xin to join this plan and benefit from everyone; on the other hand, he wants to advise Xie Xin that he should take over the position of the head of the Xie family.
.
To be honest, Xie Xin was not interested in this proposal.
In fact, what Gongsun Sheng said makes sense. He and his brother will eventually have offspring. If they don't want to practice and just want to hang out in the world of mortals, then we have to think about them.
Instead of letting them struggle slowly with the possibility of forgetting their clan, it would be better for them, as their ancestors, to lay the foundation for them. If the framework of the aristocratic family can be improved, it will be much easier for them to add bricks and tiles in the future.
It's just that he doesn't intend to take the position of the head of the Xie family. Because the Xie family's family structure has been determined a long time ago. When he becomes their clan leader, he will have to tie his hands in many places. This is not in line with his character.
If possible, he hopes that their lineage will become independent and become a new family. All the rules will be determined by themselves.
It's just that it's not his turn to make a decision for the time being. He has to at least return to school and discuss it with Xie Yi. After all, his profession is not the clan leader. God knows why the system also defines clan leader as a profession?!
He himself would never be able to become the clan leader, so the candidate for the clan leader must be Xie Yi. And he only had to retreat behind the scenes to ensure the stable and safe development of this emerging family, and that would be enough.
Gongsun Sheng probably understands Xie Xin's thoughts, so he won't force it. To put it bluntly, the spy with Xie Xin this time was based on the idea that "my brother has benefited and he wants his younger brother to benefit from it."
, just saying hello to Xie Xin.
If Xie Xin had no relationship with him at all, or even just an in-law relationship, he might not even let Xie Xin know about it.
In the end, the result of this confidential discussion was good. At least the two parties reached a preliminary consensus. As for how to operate further, we will only discuss it slowly next time.
Xie Xin returned to his room and started practicing again, which had almost no effect.
Yes, it has almost no effect at all. This kind of practice cannot achieve any progress in realm at all. The only benefit is to consolidate the current stage of practice and prevent it from going backwards.
In the following days, Gongsun Sheng took him on a nice trip.
Going on an expedition is a very important matter. There are many things that need to be prepared, and we won’t be able to set off for a while.
But this is not bad, at least Xie Xin just took advantage of this opportunity to send all the students out to be taught by their seniors and gain experience in practical work.
As for Mao Jie and Zhang Ming, because of the help of these juniors, although their experience is still far behind, at least they don't have to do all the odd chores themselves.
Just like this, another two days passed before the logistical supplies were completed and the soldiers were able to get used to each other. They were ready to compete with the enemy in their best condition at any time.
"Mount your horses and set off!" After the assembly, Gongsun Sheng announced loudly.
"Teacher, do we really want to go on an expedition with the army?" Li Yan stepped forward and asked Xie Xin.
"When you encounter a small group of enemies, you may have a chance to rush forward. But your main work is actually logistical matters. Unless the base camp is attacked by surprise, there is absolutely no problem with your safety." Xie
Xin replied with a smile.
"Disciple just wants to ask if we have a chance to fight with the army?" Li Yan asked with golden eyes.
"Don't count on it. You are too young! The most important thing is that you haven't really experienced the battle formation, let alone practiced with them, so you can't talk about cooperating with each other. Don't wait until you die.
He died under the enemy's scimitar, but died under his own gun." Xie Xin glared at him.
"Yes, it's just such a pity..." Li Yan was not a fool, and he just sighed slightly after hearing this.
Xie Xin was also speechless for such a disciple who was like a war madman.
"Brother Xie, is it really okay for you to go out with the army?" Not long after, Gongsun Sheng rode to Xie Xin's side.
"I don't make plans, I don't command on the battlefield, and I don't go into battle directly. So there's nothing wrong with setting off with the army... And if I'm not on the front line of the battlefield, how can I know if there are any mages, shamans, etc. in the opponent's camp?
existence?" Xie Xin replied nonchalantly.
"In other words, if there is no such existence, brother Xian, you are just a soy sauce?" Gongsun Sheng said with a bitter smile.
"Not bad, I already know how to use the word soy sauce!" Xie Xin was shocked.
"Hey, it's dark to be close to ink..." Gongsun Sheng shook his head helplessly.
After long-term communication with Xie Xin, he also began to learn a few of Xie Xin's "weird words".
Although, speaking of these monsters, they still sound quite interesting...
After leaving the Great Wall, Gongsun's army quickly entered Wuhuan's territory. Once here, it was basically blinding, and those unfamiliar with it had no idea where to go.
"Brother, do you know where the enemy is?" Xie Xin asked, turning his head.
"This is not difficult. First of all, your brother, I have mastered some of it through trade. Secondly, haven't you noticed those things above your head?" Gongsun Sheng pointed to the sky.
Xie Xin looked up and saw four or five eagles hovering in the sky.
"These are Haidongqing tamed by specialized falconers. With their help, we are within our sight range for dozens of miles." Gongsun Sheng said proudly.
"I see. It seems that you have made a lot of preparations for this operation, brother?" Xie Xin said with a smile.
"The way of war is to know yourself and the enemy. If there is no absolutely high chance of winning, that is, if the transaction is not cost-effective, I will not fight such a war unless it is a passive defense!" Gongsun Sheng replied nonchalantly.
The two of them walked and talked, and time passed very quickly.
It didn't take long for them to start getting closer to their first target.
This is a camp for the middle tribe of Wuhuan, with about 1,300 people. During the war, it can probably organize more than 1,000 troops. The remaining 300 are old people who cannot move, and people who are not as tall as the shaft of a chariot.
little brat.
"Gongsun Zan, listen to the order!" Seeing the target close in front of him, Gongsun Sheng shouted to the left.
I saw Gongsun Zan quickly riding over and shouting: "The general is here!"
"You lead the white horse Yi Cong and attack the enemy camp in two groups. Your goal is to harass and destroy the enemy camp as much as possible and create the best fighting conditions for other brothers." Gongsun Sheng gave the serious order.
.
"Here!" Gongsun Zan accepted the order happily.
And at the first opportunity, he immediately rode back and ordered his troops to start taking action.
Later, Gongsun Sheng called the names of several other generals and issued battle orders to them respectively.
"By the way, Gongsun Zan has already joined his brother's command?" The generals began to charge with their soldiers, and Xie Xin also took the opportunity to ask.
"Yes, he has learned something, but his ability is worse than that of your disciples, let alone Gongsun Du. But I have to say that his talent in fighting is the highest in our Gongsun family, so I plan to let him join the army.
The direction of development." Gongsun Sheng said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, why didn't you see Gongsun Du?" Xie Xin then remembered.
"You just discovered? Shengji is proficient in both literary and military skills, but it seems that he prefers to be a civil servant. So I have made him the county magistrate of Zhuo County through my connections. In the future, when I have accumulated political experience, I will transfer him
He went back to Liaoxi as an errand." Gongsun Sheng said proudly.
The two of them chatted about each other, but the situation in the battle was one-sided and favored Gongsun Sheng's side.
During this period, the opponent also organized a resistance, but as soon as they raised their swords, they were shot dead by archers on the spot. Those who did not mount their horses but intended to resist were all killed by the soldiers of the Gongsun family immediately.
At the end of the killing, 1,300 people were killed and only more than 600 were left. The elderly had been slaughtered, and almost all the middle-aged men had died. The remaining ones were still young women and less than 100 people.
A twenty-year-old boy.
"No matter how young the women of Wuhuan are, their skin and figure are completely unqualified. But it cannot be denied that they are also very strong and can be used as horse slaves.
As for the men inside, they can be used as slaves to build bridges and pave roads. Anyway, as long as they don't starve to death, everything will be fine." Gongsun Sheng pointed to the prisoners and explained to Xie Xin.
"Shouldn't they belong to the 30% I got?" Xie Xin asked with a smile.
"Of course not!" Gongsun Sheng replied boldly.
In the bitter cold land of Youzhou, the population was originally very small, but now it was rare to find cheap people to use, so he would not give it to others.
Now that the war has come to an end, Xie Xin's students have begun to become active.
They followed closely behind the quartermaster and helped him handle all kinds of trivial matters. In addition to studying, they also experienced the atmosphere of the battlefield firsthand.
Seeing the corpses being cleaned out one after another, these little brats' stomachs were naturally churning, and it didn't take long before they vomited into a mess.
This move was laughed at by the surrounding veterans.
However, as the battlefield continued to develop, after the third tribe was eliminated, and at Xie Xin's request, these students personally killed a small group, they became qualified soldiers.
In other words, after experiencing battle after battle, even if they rarely fought on the front line, they had seen too much blood and corpses and had already become numb.
"It's been five days since we came out. How many goals are there left?" Xie Xin asked.
"Are you impatient? But it's almost over. The opponent has killed so many tribes. Although it has been ensured that there are no survivors to report to other tribes, if more than ten tribes suddenly disappear, Wuhuan's upper echelons will still react quickly.
So, I will attack one or two more tribes at most, and I will go back soon. To be honest, I also feel a bit pity that I didn’t meet a single mage or shaman all the way here." Gongsun Sheng said with a bit of resentment.
.
"I'm really sorry. Anyway, you can't expect to go back with the 30% of my loot." Xie Xin replied with a smile.
"No one asks you for anything, why do you and I care about this?" Gongsun Sheng replied angrily.
"But I can't take those things back directly, how about you cash them in for me?" Xie Xin asked with a smile.
"No problem, I'll give it to you at a discount based on Youzhou's transaction price!" Gongsun Sheng smiled evilly.
"Hey, hey, these things will cost three times more to be shipped to the Central Plains!" Xie Xin immediately retorted.
"Then you can pull him back yourself!" Gongsun Sheng had already accepted the thank you letter.
"Okay..." Xie Xin was speechless.
Most of the so-called trophies were mainly livestock and horses. Xie Xin didn't want to drive these things all the way back to Nanyang.
While the two were joking, Xie Xin received a long-lost system prompt.
"Survival mission: The son of Kunlun Sect elder Xue Ren entered the secret cave with you, but he did not come out. However, someone saw him going in with you, so he thought you killed his son Xue Li.
Now, he is leading his twenty Nascent Soul stage monks to kill the Xiaoyao sect, please go back and face the enemy as soon as possible!"
Yes, this is a prompt for a survival mission! A survival mission that has not appeared for a long time, I didn’t expect it to appear at this moment.
