I'm the best catcher in martial arts

Raising food and salary also requires skills.

It doesn't mean that if you have money or a golden mountain, you can buy food and grass, especially when a war breaks out.

Once the cannon goes off, there will be ten thousand taels of gold. These words are definitely not empty words, but the most orthodox military strategy.

Fighting a war depends not only on the command of the general and the bravery of the soldiers, but also on the support of the people, the materials in hand, and the various transportation channels.

Li Xunhuan did the latter two things.

1. Find channels to purchase supplies.

2. Ensure smooth channels for transporting food and wages.

In fact, Chang Mao has worked hard over the years and Suzhou Guard has stored a huge amount of supplies that can support the army for long-term operations, but this does not mean that there is no need to purchase.

Zhu Biao wanted to use this battle to find the most convenient channel and the smoothest transportation channel for the border army.

Purchasing from the nearby small countries in the Western Regions has low losses, convenient transportation, and low prices. Most importantly, it can strengthen the Ming Dynasty's control over the Western Regions. The Western Regions have been in chaos for thousands of years, and they have long been war-weary.

After this war, the Ming Dynasty followed the example of the Tang Dynasty and established the Anxi Protectorate and the Yanqi Protectorate here, and then used the name of "Tian Khan" to mediate disputes and reduce chaos. In addition, the huge wealth brought by the Silk Road... …

Even if some small countries intend to rebel, the people will definitely not agree. This requires countless efforts, but it can bring hundreds of years of peace to the frontiers, create trade routes that will benefit thousands of years, and even unify the Western Regions.

This is definitely a groundbreaking achievement.

Another advantage is that it can form a counter-encirclement of Tibet and indirectly affect the situation in Tibet.

Due to the advantages of its geographical environment, Tubo cannot be defeated by conventional methods. The strategy against Tubo has been laid out for seven or eight years, and it has indirectly affected many people.

For example, Jiumozhi.

Jiumozhi's adventures in martial arts in the Central Plains, the princes and nobles he befriended, the occasional beatings he suffered, and his intermittent Buddhist enlightenments were not all destiny.

The more it looks like a coincidence, the more likely it is a calculation.

Shen Lian didn't know about these things. Shen Lian was busy buying food and grass to complete the "support plan."

The forces Li Xunhuan marked were all forces that expressed friendship and respect for the Ming Dynasty. They gave them gold, silk, porcelain, tea, and salt, so that they could become stronger and set an example for other forces.

The Shen family is best at doing business.

Although Shen Lian never participated in the family business, he quickly raised a large amount of food and grass by relying on the Shen family's caravan in the Western Regions and the huge amount of gold left by Ying Shuntian.

Part of the gold was sent to the Sword City, where the craftsmen recast it into portable ingots, gold bars, gold hairpins, bracelets and other accessories.

On the one hand, they take care of Sword City, so that Sword City can quickly get out of decline and find new trade routes for them.

On the one hand, the gold should be cleaned up. With so much gold piled up in the warehouse, problems will arise sooner or later. The gold bricks and ingots will be transported back to Jinling, and the remaining gold will be rewarded to the three armies.

Obviously there are multiple lines running in parallel, but under Shen Lian's precise scheduling, they move forward together without any sluggishness.

On the one hand, Shen Lian's ability is indeed very strong.

On the one hand, it's the Ming Dynasty's illustrious reputation, Li Xunhuan's hard work, and Liu Changjie's two years of undercover work.

Fighting is definitely not a one-person affair.

Working together, the more the better, is the way to go.

Shen Lian and Li Xunhuan were very busy, staying up late and working overtime every day, and even slept in the study.

The martial arts forces suppressed by Shen Lian saw that Shen Lian had no time to deal with them. The Ming Dynasty envoy also turned its attention to Suzhou and immediately started to cause trouble.

Of course they knew that this was very dangerous, and they also knew that at this time, if something went wrong and irritated Daming's nerves, it would not be Shen Lian who would come, but the elite cavalry of the Suzhou Guard led by Shi Yanwen.

Although Shen Lian is fierce, he is very reasonable.

Shi Yanwen was reasonable when wearing Confucian robes, but if he drew out the sword from his waist angrily, he wouldn't be able to run as far as he wanted, but he wouldn't be able to run at all!

So what?

This is the best opportunity to find wealth in danger.

The survivors of the Demon Sword happily gave up, and received rewards from Shen Lian, and received a pass from the Ming Dynasty, allowing them to cooperate with the Shen family's caravan on multiple levels.

This is Guanyutian's greatest advantage.

Win, win cleanly.

Lose, lose openly.

Don't quibble, don't make random excuses, don't roll over the table and throw in the towel.

Since you lose, accept your failure.

Losers may not be without benefits.

Now he has a lasting treasure.

——Slow water and long flow is the way to go!

The gold in the warehouse will attract covetousness. The Supreme Alliance has no power to help those with such background. If the major forces unite to fight for it, they will definitely not be able to survive.

The business on the Silk Road can generate at least twenty times the profit every time. As long as it is managed well, the Supreme Alliance will not be short of money for decades or hundreds of years to come.

Of course Guan Yutian understood this truth, so he personally took charge of various businesses. With his bold personality and five hundred years of family heritage, he quickly opened up the latest trade routes to transport goods to Roman Persia.

Liao Rushen has become increasingly depressed these days.

He is a person who spends all his time calculating his destiny. Although it is difficult to calculate one's own destiny, he feels keenly that his destiny has reached rock bottom.

Goshawk Fort was destroyed by Li Chenzhou.

The Supreme Alliance was firmly controlled by Guan Yutian, and the benefits Shen Lian brought to his door greatly increased Guan Yutian's strength.

Qinglong would be aloof from him, thinking that he could use his strength to drive away tigers and devour wolves, with the oriole behind, but he didn't expect that those dragon heads would ignore him at all.

Although the treasures of the Demon Sword Relics are good, no one really cares about the gold as the leader of the Azure Dragon Society.

Even if he cared, he would not dare to compete with Shen Lian.

Not to mention Li Chenzhou, as if God had just laid out the chessboard and took one step to start the attack, Li Chenzhou did not jump on his horse, but waved the table over.

Liao Rushen, you are really good at calculation. I wonder if you can beat this Heavenly Wrath Sword in Li Da's hand?

If you can't calculate it, I will kill you!

After many calculations failed, Zhuru Shen had only one last option left, which was the secret skill of Tianji Sect.

The secret skill of this sect is called "Dream Wuji". Because Liao Rushen rebelled against the sect and left the sect, it was not passed down. He also did not like to practice martial arts and felt that wisdom was more important.

Now he finally understood that when faced with reckless men like Li Chenzhou and Shen Lian who did not abide by the "rules", there was no point in setting up the chessboard, and swinging the chessboard was the way to go.

The talents of Tianji Sect are withering, and "Dream Promise" is in the hands of junior brother Huangfu Changhen. This person is good at whipping. It is said that he has some friendship with Xu Ruowu. Rushen usually didn't want to talk to him, but now he takes the initiative to come to his door.

In addition, the abbot of Jue Chan Temple has been able to eliminate evil for hundreds of miles and is proficient in the unique skill of the Western Regions, the "Four Symbols of Heaven's Will", which is quite similar to the combination of Sifangmen's Sifang Xuan Gong. They both control the power of wind, fire, thunder and lightning, and are as clear as gods who want to "borrow" them. .

What is Qinglonghui doing?

They were discussing matters with Jade Rakshasa.

Qinglong would take the risk of being bombarded by Shen Lian and come to the Western Region to perform tasks, and they would definitely make profits.

There are as many benefits as there are risks.

These discussions were quite secretive, and no one knew what they talked about, because there were no spies who could observe the Supreme Grand Master up close. If he could do this, what else would he be like as a spy? Who would let such a person be a spy?

The final move came from the Power Gang.

Li Chenzhou has dealt with internal losses and is preparing to expand his power externally, not by attacking externally, but by recruiting talents from the Western Region and making more allies.

Both Fang Yeyu and Zhen Sushan are unreliable.

Although the Demonic Cult of the Western Regions is an evil dragon, the nine sons of the dragon are all different. Some are loyal and some are treacherous in their hearts. This is Li Chenzhou's opportunity.

The ally Li Chenzhou selected was named Ge Shutian.

He is the general protector of the Demon Sect in the Western Regions. He is more powerful than one person within the sect and has great power. He is not only proficient in the magic of the Demon Sect, but also proficient in divination and calculation.

Li Chenzhou is a heroic figure, so he can tell at a glance that Ge Shutian will never be willing to be subordinate to others. He is the best ally when there are interests involved.

The two hit it off immediately and discussed cooperation.

There is also information that the white-haired and beautiful protector of the Magician's Palace rebelled and disappeared for some unknown reason.

Many martial arts forces in the Western Region are acting openly or covertly, just like a tornado sweeping through, followed by a small whirlwind. Every war can cause all kinds of chaos, and the Western Region is certainly no exception.

All kinds of information were sent to Shen Lian one after another. Shen Lian was so busy that he was dizzy and said to himself, Second Senior Brother, I will leave these matters to you and send them directly to Liu Changjie.

…

"White clouds are floating in the sky~

The people on the ground are busy~

For the sake of chivalrous tenderness~

Wandering around..."

Shen Lian escorted the collected grain and grass to Suzhou, humming a song. Li Xunhuan was originally the envoy, but now he is the army bookkeeper, responsible for recording accounts and expenditures.

There is no way, he is the only scholar, so all the literary work must be his, should Shen Lian be allowed to do it?

Jin Bingyun followed Shen Lian, listening to the song Shen Lian hummed, and couldn't help but make trouble: "Husband, who did it this time? Is it still Guo Juxia?"

"No, this is a ballad composed by Zhao Yinghao, the chief bodyguard of the Zhongyuan Escort Bureau, who listened to the village tunes when he was escorting the escorts. When the Zhongyuan Escort Bureau escorted the escorts, in addition to shouting "Hewu", he would also entertain himself with it. "

"I've heard for a long time that Zhao Yinghao has an upright character and is recognized as the leader of the escort industry. I didn't expect that he could also compose music. There are still some flaws in the evaluation given by the master!"

Jin Bingyun rolled her eyes at Shen Lian and asked, "Can you find a better excuse?" It is better to blame Zhao Yinghao than to blame Li Xunhuan. This may be more...

——Even more inappropriate!

Li Xunhuan is a talented Tanhualang. He must have great literary talent in reciting poems, poems, songs and music. Although this tune is nice, it is just a country ditty.

Shen Lian nodded shamelessly: "Your master is not omnipotent, there are always things she doesn't know."

"Does your husband know any other songs?"

"Yes, my cousin Shen Lang did it."

"Has Li Tanhua ever made any music?"

"Tsk tsk~ He doesn't know anything about music!"

Li Xunhuan: (ω｀ll)

You two are flirting, can you please leave me alone?

I'm very busy, okay!

If you are really too idle, you can help me with my official duties. Keeping them will make your back ache.

…

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.

Burning food is one of the oldest, most effective, and most demoralizing tactics. The fire that Boss Cao lit in Wuchao was a nightmare that Yuan Shao would never forget.

Therefore, the responsibility of the grain transport officer is very important.

Especially in a world full of martial arts, one not only needs to be meticulous in doing things, but also needs to be very good at fighting.

The famous Yang Jian's main duty in Xiqi was to transport food, and killing enemies in battle was a side job.

Zhu Biao asked Shen Lian to transport grain, which was a sign of knowing people and making good use of them.

Shen Lian is rigorous and meticulous, very good at fighting, good at small team combat, but not good at commanding thousands of troops.

"Bah!"

Ah Jin let out a sharp roar from mid-air.

Shen Lian ordered: "Be careful, someone may come to rob the food. There are about three hundred people coming, all of them are elite light cavalry, carrying kerosene and rockets with them."

Li Xunhuan asked curiously: "You know so much information just by the cry of an eagle? How do you do it?"

"This is the secret code of Ajin and I. We use flight and shouting to convey the enemy's information. The rest is my reasoning. They must have sharp archers."

"Why?"

"Because Akin always flies high."

The grassland aliens grew up on horseback and were all good at riding horses and bending bows. They were especially good at riding and shooting. Warriors who bent bows and shot eagles would be respected by the tribe.

When Pang Ban chased Shen Lian, if he had brought his bow and arrows with him, Shen Lian would have to pay at least three times the price if he wanted to escape safely, and he would be beaten to the last breath.

Shen Lian's beloved pet has long been no secret.

BMW Crescent Moon with super endurance.

Rhubarb, a spirit dog with a keen sense of smell.

The manned flying divine eagle Akin.

Seeing Ajin flying at high altitude, they knew that they had been exposed and immediately led the army to fight out.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Arrows rained down on the convoy.

The prairie people's riding and shooting are truly extremely powerful.

From the perspective of bows and arrows, there is a gap between the Central Plains cavalry and Wala, so they choose to use crossbows.

Under the command of Shen Lian, the elite soldiers of the grain transport team took out their hand crossbows and attacked the Ora cavalry. The Jinyi guards erected fine steel shields and formed defenses.

Shen Lian's shoulders moved slightly, Gu Wen popped out of the iron box on his back, and Yue Yaer shook his front hooves, assuming a charging posture, ready to charge into the battle at any time.

The cavalry charged extremely fast and fired three rounds. They were already approaching. Shen Lian exerted a little force on his legs. Yue Yaer received the signal and ran towards the enemy.

"Shen Lian is here, who dares to fight me!"

"Shen Lian is here, who dares to fight me!"

"Shen Lian is here, who dares to fight me!"

Shen Lian shouted loudly, his voice like a tiger's roar, and Gu Wen traced a sad path, piercing through three throats.

"Wow, yeah, yeah~~ If Shen Lianxiu wants to be so arrogant, I am Khan's general, Ma Yizan. Let me take off your head and achieve the first victory in this battle!"

Ma Yizan laughed wildly and rushed over.

Shen Lian did not take the move, but sent a message with his legs. Yue Ya'er moved two feet sideways and passed Ma Yizan.

Shen Lian continued to kill.

Ma Yizan fell to the ground.

But at the moment when the two horses pedaled wrongly, Shen Lian put Gu Wen in front of his throat. Gu Wen used the inertia to penetrate his throat, flew out from the back of his neck, and fell into Shen Lian's hands again, leaving only a transparent hole!

Tantai Jingming once said that Shen Lian's most charming moment must be when he is charging with a gun.

That is an indescribable charm!

It was a shock that cannot be described in words.

That is brave, arrogant, and domineering that can make men's blood boil and women cry!

Thousands of armies are ready to conquer the situation, and their momentum is as strong as breaking bamboo.

Wherever the gun tip hits, all enemies fall to the ground! (End of chapter)
