When Long Chen said he would teach martial arts, the barbarians were very excited and said they were willing to join the elite soldier plan.
The bodies of the Central Plains people are not as good as those of the barbarians, but their skills are exquisite and they can become stronger than their physical bodies after practice.
The barbarians also want to obtain powerful skills.
Even Shanyu Tuzhi looked at Long Chen excitedly, and he also wanted to join.
Long Chen looked at these people and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I won't lie to you. This elite soldier plan is very cruel. Once you join, you are not allowed to withdraw until you defeat the ghost clan."
Tuzhi thought for a while and finally said nothing.
This elite soldier plan is likely to be closed, and once you join, you cannot withdraw.
He is a Chanyu of the barbarian tribe, and it is impossible for him to leave his tribe and be sealed in Long Chen's military camp.
"So, please think carefully and don't be so impulsive."
"Also, these five thousand wolf warriors must be elite. I mean smart, not strong."
Practicing exercises does not require brute force. Long Chen must find smart people, people who can understand the methods of cultivation.
After saying this, the passion of the leader and general calmed down a little, and everyone sat down to consider it carefully.
"That's what I'm here for today. Please help Chanyu carefully select them. After these five thousand elites are trained, they will be commanded by me during the war. After the war is over, they will be returned to Shanyu and become the warriors of your grassland."
Long Chen stood up, Tuzhi followed suit, and other leaders and generals also stood up.
"Please think carefully, this matter is not urgent."
Gao Qinhu was seriously injured, and all the ghost clan's personal guards were killed. The ghost clan should not be able to attack again in the near future.
If the situation is good, this winter may even be relatively stable.
Therefore, troop training can be carried out slowly.
Long Chen walked out of the tent, Tu Zhi and a group of people helped Long Chen mount his horse.
"Chanyu, I want to say a few words to you."
Tu Zhi immediately mounted his horse and followed Long Chen outside.
The two of them walked side by side, and Long Chen said in a low voice: "You and I have known each other for a long time. I'll tell you the truth, these 30,000 elite soldiers will all turn into half-ghosts."
Tuzhi was stunned for a moment and almost didn't react.
"Half ghost? Then... isn't that the same as those people?"
Tu Zhi is talking about the barbarian puppets who were bitten to death by the ghosts. If they become half-ghosts, they will be the living dead.
Long Chen shook his head slightly and said: "No, it's not the same, or it's completely different."
"I am half-ghost, so is the Holy One, and so are Wu Jian and the others, but we are not like puppets."
"Those people were bitten to death by the ghost tribe and then became servants and puppets. I will make them eat meat and slowly change their physiques."
"After the physique changes, their cultivation level can be greatly improved, their body's endurance and explosive power will be improved, and their thoughts can remain unchanged. They are still human beings, just like me."
Long Chen didn't know the principle, but from past experience, it was certain that people who changed by eating meat would not become walking zombies.
Tu Zhi nodded silently and said: "That's why King Wu requires that those who participate in the elite soldier plan must be married and have children."
Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, after becoming a half-ghost, I don't know if I can change back again."
"Besides, half-ghosts actually have the urge to suck blood. If they can't control themselves, I will kill them."
Tu Zhi's face was solemn and his mood was very complicated, and he said: "Thank you very much, King Wu, for being able to tell me openly and honestly."
"The situation is like this. I have to say that the Long family army has suffered more. I have nothing to say."
The ghost tribe invades. If the ghost tribe is not defeated, everyone will die.
As a grassland tribe, the barbarians have no reason to shirk.
Moreover, they did not bear the most, the Long Family Army and the Nanliang Army both endured more than them.
There are 30,000 elite soldiers, 15,000 of the Long family army and 10,000 of the Nanliang army. The barbarians only need 5,000.
Long Chen took a deep breath of cold air, exhaled it slowly, and said, "Okay, that's it, I'm going back."
After saying that, Long Chen rode his horse back to Yanmen Pass, and Tu Zhi watched Long Chen leave.
When he was out of sight, Tuzhi slowly returned to the tent, Basi stepped forward to lead the horse, and Tuzhi slowly dismounted, looking very serious.
With a look of shame on his face, Basi said: "Forgive me, Shanyu, I will just..."
Just now, Basi expressed his willingness to participate in the elite soldier plan without Tuzhi's permission. This is a sign of ignorance of the rules.
Basi thought Tuzhi was interested, so he wanted to explain.
Tu Zhi turned to look at Basi, sighed slightly, and asked, "Do you really want to participate?"
Basi hesitated and said, "I will eventually obey Shanyu's arrangements."
Tu Zhi sighed slightly and said: "Your child is not young anymore. If you want to go...then go."
"But you have to remember that you are a warrior of the wolf clan, not a ghost clan!"
Basi was stunned and asked, "Why did Chanyu say that?"
Tu Zhi didn't want to say more, shook his head and said: "It's nothing, just remember what I said."
"Go and discuss with the other leaders. To select five thousand warriors, they must be married and have children."
Basi didn't understand, but Tu Zhi didn't explain it, so Basi couldn't ask more questions.
"Yes, Shanyu!"
Basi immediately went to other leaders to discuss selecting people.
When Long Chen returned to Yanmen Pass, Meng Yidao, Zhuang Ling'er and others were waiting.
"Meet King Wu."
Long Chen dismounted and everyone immediately paid their respects.
"It's windy outside, come in and talk."
Long Chen entered the room, followed by nine people and sat down. Zhuang Ling'er closed the door.
"Not much else to say, you have your own way, let all the people in the world who are willing to contribute come."
"There are still barbarian puppets in the prison. You can take a few of them back to show them to the public. This will save you a lot of talking and explaining."
The situation is critical, Long Chen must gather as many experts as possible to jointly resist the ghost clan.
When he dispersed the weapons and techniques, Long Chen thought of today.
Meng Yidao said: "We discussed it. They have wider connections in the Jianghu. I will go alone and stay in Yanmen Pass to help while they go to gather the Jianghu sects."
Long Chen glanced at Meng Yidao, nodded slightly and said: "Okay, you decide for yourself, just ask for what you need."
The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough waves know the loyal ministers.
At this time, Long Chen was still very touched that Meng Yidao was willing to stay at Yanmen Pass.
Because after these people leave, they can leave without returning and let Long Chen fight on his own.
Zhuang Ling'er said: "Within three months, no matter what happens, we will come back."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "Okay, you go."
Everyone stood up, Zhuang Ling'er opened the door, and Long Chen sent them out.
Zhuang Ling'er immediately went to the prison to catch the puppet. After preparations were completed, Zhuang Ling'er and others immediately went south.
Meng Yidao was about to go to the military camp, and Long Chen asked him to find Wu Jianyi and others.
Meng Yidao immediately went to find someone. Long Chen rested in the room for a while. Wu Jian, Zhang Qian and other Long family army generals came to the room.
Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali, Wu Chuchu, Wu Xiangyun and Bai Tingting, Zhao Ying, Mei Yu, Yue Sisi and Hu Qiaotong were sitting together.
Wu Jian was sitting together with Han Ziping, Tang Heizi, Gan Zhen and Xue Ping.
Gan Xin, Mo Lin, Yu Fuguo, Feng He, and Lu Ji sat in the back. They were not combatants, so they sat back.
Meng Yidao stood nearby, wondering whether he should sit down.
He has a special status and does not belong to the Long Family Army.
Long Chen pointed to the seat next to Xue Ping and said, "Sit down."
Meng Yidao then sat down, feeling very happy.
The people sitting here are all members of the Long Family Army and are Long Chen's confidants.
If he can sit here, he is treated as one of his own.
