When Cheng Mu received the news, he and Li Shimin were reviewing the million-strong Qingzhou Army.
"Xian son-in-law, this is... is this the army from before?"
Li Shimin was a little confused.
Six months ago, when he saw this army in Qingzhou Province, its rank was just the ace level.
Although he is the elite among the elite, his strength is still not as good as the several elite legions under his command.
But now, among the millions of Qingzhou soldiers, there are actually 10,000 soldiers whose strength has reached the terrifying overlord level.
Isn't this the same as Yue Fei's Beiwei Army?
"Um."
Although Cheng Mu only answered one word, he was proud in his heart.
If it hadn't been for his repeated instructions, the entire Qingzhou Army would be overlord-level soldiers now, okay?
And the mere overlord is really not in his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, the overlord-level Qingzhou Army would not satisfy him very much.
Why?
Because as the army of the Apocalypse Empire, their strength is generally that of princes. And now, whether it is the Apocalypse Army or the Beifu Army, they have begun to enter the super-god level.
A mere overlord-level soldier is really not worthy of recognition.
Although the Flying Tiger Legion is weak, they are newly built and their soldier levels have not yet been upgraded.
As long as they have experienced a few battles, it is certain that Li Cunxiao's Flying Tigers will reach the princely level.
It's just that this is a special situation, and this dissatisfaction is suppressed in his heart.
"What a brave teacher!"
Li Shimin nodded in amazement.
What surprised him was not the strength of the Qingzhou Army, but the speed at which the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army improved their strength.
He didn't expect that this army could grow so fast.
In half a year, 10,000 people turned from aces to overlords. So if we wait a few more years, wouldn't it mean that the Apocalypse Empire would also have an army of overlord-level soldiers?
This is not good news!
'It's impossible, it's impossible, how could it be so fast?'
Li Shimin shook his head again, and he comforted himself by thinking:
'Cheng Mu must have put a lot of thought into this, right? He wants to pretend to be powerful in front of me?!'
It is the only most reasonable explanation that can explain why the Qingzhou Army's strength has improved so quickly. You must know that creating a hegemon-level soldier requires the unremitting efforts of several generations of a country.
Choose the best from the best, and then choose the best from the best...
Only through rigorous selection and training from an early age can a true overlord-level unit be created.
And the Apocalypse Empire can have 10,000 overlord-level soldiers within half a year, which must be temporarily piled up by gathering the strength of the whole country.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt relieved again.
There was no other way. The method of quickly creating an army of overlord-level soldiers was so shocking that Li Shimin wouldn't believe it until he saw it with his own eyes.
Under normal circumstances, overlord-level soldiers are already the ceiling on the battlefield.
Princes and super gods?
The Tang Empire did not exist, and Li Shimin had never heard of any country having one!
"It's much worse than the heroic army of the Tang Dynasty."
Cheng Mu shook his head.
Of course, what he meant was the gap between the number of overlord-level soldiers in the Qingzhou Army and the Xuanjia Army.
As the most famous army of the Tang Empire, the overlord-level Xuanjia Army was Li Shimin's confidence and capital to strive for world hegemony.
Some Hidden Dragon envoys have investigated and it is rumored that Li Shimin has millions of black armor troops under his command.
Adhering to the principle of rather trusting what he has than trusting what he doesn't, Cheng Mu was prepared to deal with it.
"A good son-in-law is humble, haha, a good son-in-law is a good son-in-law!"
Li Shimin laughed heartily.
Indeed, if this Qingzhou Army wants to compare with his Xuanjia Army, it is still far behind.
Those were the super elites who followed him in the uprising and fought everywhere. As the strongest arm of the Tang Empire, the strength of the Xuanjia Army has reached the pinnacle of the overlord level!
It is not comparable to the Qingzhou Army, which has not yet been truly promoted to overlord-level soldiers.
As for the reason why Li Shimin still calls Cheng Muxian son-in-law.
That's because, although Cheng Mu has now rejected his Princess Jinyang, in his heart, Cheng Mu is still his best choice for a virtuous son-in-law.
If that doesn't work, let Cheng Mu choose from Princess Taiping, Princess Changle, Princess Chengyang, Princess Lanling, etc.!
Once his Tang Dynasty marries with the Apocalypse Empire, Cheng Mugui will become his son-in-law Li Shimin.
Doesn't that mean that he successfully owned half of the Apocalypse Empire?
The meaning of this sentence is just like: Your grandson may not be your biological one, but your grandson must be your own!
"Ha ha!"
Cheng Mu also laughed.
Although the pretense this time was a bit unsatisfactory, his goal was achieved.
In fact, he also thought about transferring millions of Qingzhou troops.
You should know that the current soldier templates of the Qingzhou Army are just ordinary soldier templates and have not been transferred to any special arms.
The 10,000 people with overlord-level strength are completely enhanced by their talents.
Once they are transferred to special soldiers, their strength can be immediately upgraded to the prince level.
But Cheng Mu didn't do that.
Showing super strength in advance will make Li Shimin wary.
When we are not absolutely sure of resisting the Tang Empire's twin saints, we still have to keep a low profile.
'As long as the Apocalypse Legion and the Beifu Legion are promoted to super gods, then it's time to show their fangs.'
Cheng Mu knew that Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were different from Li Shimin.
Although Li Shimin has the strength of the Shentai realm, this strength bonus is not available outside the Tang Empire.
But Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang are different. Their shrines are genuine.
Since they are known as the strongest altar, their power cannot be resisted by mere prince-level soldiers.
The reason why they didn't take action directly was naturally because they were afraid of the backlash of luck.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, the Million Qingzhou Army did not change positions.
Although I am somewhat dissatisfied with the strength of the Qingzhou Army, I still have to focus on the overall situation.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, a guard hurriedly ran forward.
Skybird, is back.
"Um?"
Looking at the message in his hand, Cheng Mu frowned deeply.
Fifty percent casualty rate, this price is too high.
Although the Tianlong Army has been promoted to a super god-level unit, the price paid and the harvest are not equal.
To know.
The strength of the military soul condensed by the soldiers is not only related to the strength of the soldiers, but also has a great relationship with the number.
Ten thousand people can unite the military spirit.
But the duration of the military spirit is calculated based on the number of soldiers.
Now, although the 100,000 Heavenly Dragon Army can condense a military soul comparable to the strength of the Shentai Realm, this military soul will definitely not last too long.
If it's only a few minutes, it doesn't really matter whether the military spirit appears or not.
In this turbulent era, the word million does not just refer to quantity.
It is a watershed.
The military soul condensed by millions of soldiers is in its most perfect and peak state.
If the strength of the soldiers is not enough or the number is not up to standard, this will have a great impact on the strength and duration of the military spirit.
"Xian son-in-law, what's wrong?"
Looking at the frowning Cheng Mu, Li Shimin couldn't help but asked with concern: "Did something happen in the Apocalypse Empire?"
There can be no accidents now.
Once the millions of Qingzhou troops from the Apocalypse Empire came, he would have to drag these millions of people to the Song Empire to bleed.
As the armies of Liao and Xixia gathered together, the border of Datang was not stable at the moment.
Urgent support!
"Some little things."
Cheng Mu put the note away, regained his composure and said, "Thank you, Lord, for your concern. Your ministers will resolve this matter."
The message was sent using a note, which he personally requested.
Because the sky bird can speak human words.
When Tianniao said this information, he was afraid that Li Shimin would collapse on the ground in fear.
Super God, this is limited to legendary arms.
"That's good, that's good."
Li Shimin said: "In this case, we will set off with our army today!"
If he waits a few more days, he is worried that something will happen again.
Now that there is such a powerful Qingzhou army, there are people on the battlefield of the Song Empire to share the pressure.
How could he, Li Shimin, be unhappy?
"As it should be."
Cheng Mu nodded, but he asked again: "What about the logistics supplies?"
If you assist the Tang Empire in fighting, you can't let yourself supply food and grass, right?
"Food and grass, my virtuous son-in-law, don't worry!"
Li Shimin vowed: "Whatever the elites of my Tang Dynasty eat, your Qingzhou Army, Xianxiang, will eat whatever they want!"
It's just food for millions of people, a small problem.
"Then I would like to thank the Lord on behalf of the soldiers under his command."
Cheng Mu was also very happy.
If you eat from Li Shimin, the spoils you grab are yours. This business is a guaranteed profit!
Will there be any soldier casualties?
Cheng Mu actually had a countermeasure for this.
He had told Wei Xiaobao to just walk around when he saw Yue Fei.
Although Yue Fei's Beiwei army is strong, if you can't offend him, you can always hide him!
You can fight, but it's not necessary.
The main purpose of going to the Song Empire now is to train troops and search for trophies. There is no need to fight with Yue Fei!
Just like what Li Shimin said before when he was in Qingzhou Province, Cheng Mu also investigated.
In the Song Empire, except for Yue Fei's Yue Family Army, the rest of the armies were a mob!
