Chapter 1,152: Ascension to Yizhou Mu, Army Expansion
Immediately, Ling Feng released Zhang Lu's spirit back to his true form and said, "General Zhang, if you surrender, I will definitely not treat you badly, how about that?"
He kept Zhang Lu for two reasons. One was because Zhang Lu was very strong and had the ability to train Taoist soldiers. The other was because of his grandfather Zhang Daoling. Such legendary figures were probably above the level of Earth Immortal.
The surrender of Zhang Lu now is also to establish a relationship with this person in the future.
Zhang Lu was silent for a moment, bowed and clasped his fists, saying: "See my lord!"
Ling Feng smiled and said: "I can win Gongqi better than a million soldiers!"
Immediately, Ling Feng slightly reorganized all the prisoners and obtained 2.4 million auxiliary troops, of which 400,000 were to supplement his own army of 3 million, and the other 2 million were under Zhang Lu's command. Ling Feng was not afraid that he would surrender and rebel again, because
Ling Feng has left forbidden laws in his soul. Once the opponent rebels, he can be easily killed.
As the news spread that Ling Feng killed Liu Yan and recruited Zhang Lu to surrender, Wenpin, who had already led his army to Badong Road, asked Liu Biao for instructions, and then the army returned to Jingzhou.
After receiving the news from other observers, most of them gave up their thoughts of fighting for Yizhou Mu. Even Liu Yan and Zhang Lu were defeated so quickly, how could they please?
Subsequently, the four armies of Ling Feng, Zhang Lu, Jia Long, and Ren Qi, with a total of nine million troops, began to regain Guanghan Road. They were so unstoppable that all the states and counties were almost defeated. In seven days, the entire Guanghan Road had been recovered.
At this time, Qisha had also led his army to capture the entire Shu Dao. In addition to Jianwei Dao, Badao, and Guanghan Dao, Ling Feng now owned four lands. His luck increased greatly, and he could breathe out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at a rapid pace.
Multiply!
Moreover, the Shura Blood Guards under Ling Feng have also grown rapidly. The ordinary Shura Blood Guards have been promoted to the peak of the late innate stage. Thousands of Shura Guards have successfully condensed the Blood Evil True Essence and have broken through to the Grandmaster realm. One
Many of the Qian Shura Guards have also broken through to the middle stage of Grand Master, and the strength of the entire army has increased a lot.
Immediately, Ling Feng took a brief rest and then led an army of tens of millions south to attack Yuexun Road. The Yuexun Road Observation Envoy had previously sent three million troops to invade Jianwei Road. Although they were repulsed, how could Ling Feng just let it go?
.
As the four armies of Ling Feng, Jia Long, Ren Qi, and Zhang Lu invaded Yuexun Road, the Yuexun Road Observers quickly organized an army of five million to resist, and sent letters asking for help to Zangke Road and Yizhou Road.
However, by the time the reinforcements from Zangke Road and Yizhou Road arrived, Ling Feng had already fought seven battles and won seven victories, killing the observers of Yuexun Road and occupying most of the territory of Yuexun Road.
In the end, they could only apologize to Ling Feng and retreat obediently.
Not long after, Ling Feng quickly captured the entire territory of Yuexun Road. He immediately moved Jia Long as the observer of Jianwei Road, transferred Qi to be the observer of Shu Road, and made Zhang Lu the observer of Badao. Reverse their positions to weaken them.
The strength of control over the troops under his command.
After this battle, the Shura Blood Guards also greatly increased in strength. All 90,000 Shura Blood Guards were raised to the highest level of innateness. More than half of the 9,000 Shura Guards condensed the Blood Evil Essence and became Grand Masters. The remaining Shura Guards
It won't take long for the personal guards to advance to the realm of Grandmaster. And most of the Shura Imperial Guards have already advanced to the middle stage of Grandmaster, and their overall strength has been greatly improved.
Later, Jia Long and Ren Qi wrote letters to persuade Hanzhong Road Observer Su Gu to join Ling Feng.
Ling Feng was overjoyed and appointed Su Gu as the Hanzhong Road Observer. He only transferred three million of his five million troops away and sent a trusted general from Luzhou to take charge.
In fact, the same is true for Jia Long, Ren Qi, and Zhang Lu today. Ling Feng will not completely deprive them of their military power, but he will not let their troops exceed two million. Otherwise, even if they do not have any dissent at this time, they will encounter in the future
In an emergency, it is inevitable that you will have different aspirations.
At this time, Ling Feng had already occupied the territory of Six Roads in the Ten Roads of Yizhou, and his troops were invincible wherever they went. Therefore, the remaining observers from the Basi Road, Badong Road, Zangke County, and Yizhou Road had all decided to join the army.
, so he sent someone to negotiate with Ling Feng.
If the other four realms can be accepted peacefully, a lot of killing and destruction can be reduced, which will be very helpful for Yizhou's recovery. The observers of the other four realms also know that Ling Feng's military strength is strong, and they do not have excessive demands, they just want to ensure
The interests of their respective families. Therefore, Ling Feng basically agreed.
Subsequently, Ling Feng sent troops to take over Yizhou Road, Zangke Road, Badong Road, and Brazil Road. The positions of each observation envoy were basically reversed, weakening their ability to control the local area.
At this time, Ling Feng completely controlled the entire territory of Yizhou, so he sent an envoy to Xudu to ask for the title of Yizhou Mu. He also relied on Yuan Shu's connections, so he successfully obtained the title of Yizhou Mu by Emperor Xian, and was also granted the title of Mu.
Granted the title of County Marquis.
Nowadays, although the power of the Han Dynasty has fallen, Emperor Xian still holds great honor and righteousness. After Ling Feng was canonized as Yizhou Mu, the recognition of the family and the people increased significantly, and many talents began to join Ling Feng.
Ling Feng's luck also increased greatly. The body of the four-clawed golden dragon grew several times and condensed a lot. The shadow of the fifth claw was faintly born. Although it was only a shadow, it was impossible to worship the heaven and proclaim the emperor.
Condensing this fifth claw is already amazing, and now he is at the top among the heroes. As his luck increased, Ling Feng's cultivation speed increased greatly again.
After Ling Feng became a shepherd in Yizhou, he began to focus on the development of people's livelihood, restoring the economy, and winning the hearts of the people.
The first was to work in the fields. Most of the prisoners and many ordinary soldiers were sent to work in the fields to resume production and accumulate food. The second was to vigorously build private schools, colleges, military attachés, and cultivate civil and military talents. The third was to develop industry and commerce and prosper the economy.
Of course, the military has not relaxed either. Now, Ling Feng's territory has expanded tenfold, and it must be suppressed by enough Taoist soldiers to ensure the stability of the place. Therefore, the Shura Blood Guard will be expanded to 400,000, divided into seven killings, and breaking the army.
There are four legions, Greedy Wolf and Wuqu, each commanding 100,000 men.
The original 90,000 Shura Blood Guards were promoted to Shura Guards, and the original 9,000 Shura Guards were promoted to Shura Guards. The new Shura Blood Guards mainly select elite warriors with reliable backgrounds from the army under their command, and then give them blood seeds.
, teach the Shura Blood Demon Technique, and it won’t take long to train them into an army.
The Qinglong, Baihu and other Five Elements legions will also be expanded to 500,000, with Qinglong, Baihu and others serving as legion commanders respectively.
In addition, Ling Feng vigorously trains weapon refiners, swordsmiths, etc. to refine matching high-level armor for the Shura Blood Guard and the Five Elements Legion. On the battlefield, even the masters may plant stray arrows, so armor is a must
There are few, and sharp, high-grade weapons can also greatly increase the combat power of soldiers.
After Ling Feng arranged everything, he began to concentrate on training. To him, power was just a foreign object, and only his own cultivation was the foundation.
