Helianlie quickly left with his men and horses, walking neatly and without any sloppiness.
With the people above setting an example and witnessing Shen Zhui's strength, no one dared to embarrass Shen Zhui's people in the handover work. It was more of envy.
Being able to follow such a young, promising and talented Shangguan like Shen Zhui has a promising future.
Many people secretly inquired about Shen Zhui's recruitment conditions and revealed their intention to join.
The people responsible for handing over to the other party all held their heads high and their backs straight.
This is the benefit of a strong Shangguan. He can win external battles and defend his shortcomings internally!
"Sir, the people led by Helian have withdrawn."
In the city lord's mansion, Shen Zhui was sitting on a high chair, listening to Yue Cheng's report.
"It's no problem."
Yue Cheng said respectfully: "Only a few merchants did not know about the defense change at the beginning, and had already handed over the profits and taxes for March, April and May to the people led by Helian. However, the corresponding officials were quickly found and explained. This matter."
"According to your instructions, the profits and taxes for March will still belong to Commander Helian, and the shares for April and May will be completely returned to us. The same goes for the minerals and Lingtian."
Shen Zhui nodded, he also expected that nothing would go wrong again. After thinking about it, he still warned: "Lingtian mineral and timber business tax, these must be turned over to Tianxin Palace, don't be careless. Instruct your brothers. You guys, please don’t take things you shouldn’t have and don’t have any delusional thoughts, otherwise you will stretch out your hands and chop your feet, do you understand?”
"Understood." Yue Cheng nodded. Some of these copies have already been owned by them. If you dare to take the rest, you are violating the laws of heaven. Although the investigation here is not as strict as in the Zhou Dynasty, But since Shen Zhui issued a ban, Yue Cheng must enforce it.
Yue Cheng knew that his cultivation qualifications were mediocre, and that he could only be valued by Shen Zhui if he worked hard, so he naturally did not dare to be careless.
"Yes." Shen Zhui looked at Yue Chengdao. "I can rest assured that you will do your work. You will take care of the affairs of Juanyun City.
Finally, Shen Zhui looked at the bald man below and said, "Guizang, you lead the Fiery Team to stay in Juanyun City and assist Yue City."
Since Shen Zhui became the commander, he began to organize a group of personal barracks. As Shen Zhui's strength and reputation expanded, the scale of the personal barracks, both in quality and quantity, also increased accordingly.
According to the Five Elements of Wind and Thunder, Shen Zhui divided the personal camp into seven teams, with twenty people in each team, all of whom were at the peak innate level!
Among them, the captain of the personal soldiers has the ability to be a quasi-commander. This fire squad is composed of masters who are good at the way of fire.
And Guizang is the captain of the Agni Team with quasi-commanding power.
"Yes, sir." Guizang nodded.
"Thank you, sir." Yue Cheng said respectfully.
"Go down. These two thousand brothers will be left to you." Shen Zhui waved his hand.
"My subordinates retire." Guizang and Yue Cheng saluted together and slowly exited the hall.
Shen Zhui glanced at the other people in the hall and waved.
"The rest of you continue to follow me and go to the next city."
"yes."
…………
The number of soldiers Shen Zhui brought out from Baiyun Peak was close to 8,000. Of course, Juanyun City alone could not need so many people to guard it.
Moreover, according to past statistics, a border city and its surrounding resources can support a team of three thousand people at its limit. Any more, and there will be insufficient resources, leading to situations where one's own people are robbing one's own people.
Of course, Shen Zhui would not allow such a situation to happen. For the soldiers who went out to hunt monsters and train for battle, they were strictly prohibited from fighting.
At the beginning, Helianlie, Chen Chen, Yunfeng, and Yunwu each allocated a city to him. Now that Helianlie's side of Juanyun City has been taken back, of course the other three will also be taken back into his own hands.
Liuguang Feizhou led the remaining six thousand soldiers and headed for Wangjiang City where Yunfeng was stationed.
As soon as he arrived outside the city, he saw Yunfeng waiting outside the city early.
"Brother Shen, we haven't seen each other for a few days, and Brother Shen's demeanor is even better than before." Yunfeng said with a smile and cupped his hands.
"..." Seeing Yun Feng, who was old enough to be his great-grandfather, flattering him like a flowing stream of water, Shen Zhui was immediately speechless.
Among the four commanders, Helian Lie was the most dignified and dignified, much like Yun Duo.
The fourth commander, Chen Chen, had an arrogant temperament. Among the nine commanders, no one except Helian Lie was convinced.
The fifth commander, Yun Wu, was influenced by the Yun family tradition and was relatively gentle, courteous and more normal. Although he took advantage of others, he was very caring towards his subordinates.
On the contrary, Yun Feng, the third commander who is one generation above Yun Wu, is a talkative man. Although he is old, he does not have the consciousness of an elder. He is capable of sarcastic remarks and flattery.
Already aware of Yun Feng's character, Shen Zhui didn't take it too seriously. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Third Commander, you're not bad at all. Sitting here in Wangjiang City, watching the rise and fall of the tide every day, it's so uncomfortable."
"Brother Shen is joking. Brother, I am not as leisurely as you said. I guard the opposite side of the Canglan River every day with fear. I can only close one eye even when I sleep. I am afraid that monsters will attack me in the middle of the night and the army will press on me."
"Wangjiang City is close to the Canglan River. If there is a war, we will definitely bear the brunt of the attack here. Look, I am so worried...the white hair on this head can be pulled off and used as a white cloth to cover it!"
"..."
Shen Zhui was a little tired. Are you as miserable as you?
It would take at least a hundred miles to see a decent monster on the other side of the Canglan River. Now that Wu'an's army is so powerful, there is no need to worry about invasion all the time.
It’s true that you have white hair, but with your red face, you don’t look sad at all!
Based on this man's words, Shen Zhui knew that if he continued to be polite to Yun Feng, even for three days and three nights, there would be no result at all, so Shen Zhui had no choice but to get to the point directly.
"Ahem... Third Commander, Shen Zhui is here just to help you relieve your worries. This Wangjiang City was originally my duty to guard. Now that I have troubled Third Commander for many days, you should also go to the Banshan City behind to take care of yourself. Just rest and rest."
"That's very good. If Commander Shen is impatient, we can go and hand over the situation now. You can lead the brothers into the city." Yunfeng still said with a smile.
Huh? So easy to talk to?
Shen Zhui was slightly stunned. He thought that Yunfeng would continue to follow him for a long time, at least to gain some benefits from himself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I said it, I would agree so simply.
Could it be that defeating Helian Lie on his own was so intimidating?
"Commander Shen, please." Yunfeng stretched out his hand and said.
"Then it's time to work." Shen Zhui didn't think too much, waved his hand, and controlled the streamer flying boat to land in Wangjiang City.
The handover went smoothly, and Yunfeng was extremely cooperative from beginning to end, and even took the initiative to find out those who committed corruption and crimes among his subordinates and punished them severely in front of Shen Zhui.
This made Shen Zhui feel a little embarrassed.
As the handover came to an end, Yunfeng quietly approached Shen Zhui and whispered.
"Brother Shen, can you call me for your recruitment battle in the future? Don't worry, although I am old and weak, I will never be vague in fighting and will not hold you back! I am in the supernatural realm If you can’t do it, it’s still no problem to drag one or two high-level Spirit Bridges!”
Shen Zhui looked at Yun Feng, whose badge was clapping, and couldn't help but smile.
"I asked why Yunfeng is so easy to talk to. It turns out he knew about Master accepting me as his disciple."
Obviously, as a member of the Yun family, Yunfeng must know more information than others.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he mentioned attacking the mountain gate and named the powerful ones in the supernatural realm. Apparently, he already knew that he was apprenticed to Fengxing General Lu Yuanwei.
In this way, Yun Duo is Shen Zhui's senior brother. How dare he embarrass Shen Zhui in this matter?
Wangjiang City should have been guarded by Shen Zhui, but he couldn't defeat Shen Zhui, so he would eventually have to return it after procrastinating. He might as well be a favor and return it to Shen Zhui quickly.
How can such small gains compare to the great gains of attacking at least a second-rate sect?
With the help of the titled captain and Yun Duo, it is certain that Shen Zhui will attack the second-rate sect. As long as he participates, he will achieve great success!
People become better with age, and that’s what Yunfeng is talking about!
With emotion in his heart, Shen Zhui didn't say anything, and said with a chuckle: "This is natural. With the three commanders helping me, the battle is certain!"
Watching Yun Feng smile with wrinkles on his face and leave with satisfaction. Shen Zhui couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
They flatter each other and flatter each other, and they themselves follow suit...
………………
Without staying longer in Wangjiang City, Shen Zhui quickly led the remaining four thousand soldiers to the next location.
When taking over the Boulder City where the fourth commander Chen Chen was stationed, an episode occurred.
Even though Helian Lie was defeated first and Yun Feng surrendered later, this arrogant commander still made a request to discuss things with Shen Zhui.
City Lord's Mansion, above the school grounds.
"Dang~" Shen Zhui swung away Chen Chen's spear with a knife, and the blade was placed across Chen Chen's neck.
Ten caves opened up behind him, making Chen Chen unable to breathe and not daring to move at all.
"Four Commanders, I accept the concession." Shen Zhui slowly withdrew his spiritual sword, and the ten caves disappeared.
In fact, he didn't need to open all the ten caves, but Chen Chen didn't know the heights of the sky, and was afraid that Shen Zhui wouldn't be able to exert his full strength, so he provoked Shen Zhui with words, and Shen Zhui got his wish.
Defeat the enemy with one move!
Although Helian Lie could only open the six caves at that time, his strength was at the peak of Lingqiao and he had the unique skills of a captain level.
And this Chen Chen is just a high-level Lingqiao. Although he has opened up six caves, he is not as experienced and powerful as Helian Lie.
Under the pressure of the ten caves, Shen Zhui directly accelerated with the Wind and Thunder Escape Technique, and instantly subdued Chen Chen. He didn't even have the strength to parry.
"I'm taking it." Chen Chen was upright, and after being defeated by Shen Zhui, he didn't feel downcast. He patted his chest and said, "Before I, Chen Chen, can't beat you Shen Zhui, I have a destiny, go through fire and water, no one dares to disobey! "
Shen Zhui glanced at Chen Chen in slight surprise, and couldn't help but think highly of the fourth commander. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "There is no need to go through fire and water. The fourth commander only needs to return this huge stone city to me."
"It should be so. I'll make arrangements right away." Chen Chen left quickly.
………………
The light flying boat took off from Boulder City, and the last two thousand people arrived at the last city, Half Moon City, after crossing hundreds of miles.
In the city lord's mansion.
"You boy, you are so awesome now. There is a bounty on the Lingqiao, and you are on the list. You have a golden body in the extreme realm, and you are in the top ten caves. Now you have defeated Helian Lie and became a disciple of General Lu. It seems that I am really old..." Yunwu looked at it. Looking at Shen Zhui, he felt a little sad.
When he recruited Shen Zhui, he was already at his peak and his martial arts had just begun.
Before entering Baiyun Peak, I was completely destitute. Even the resources to break through to the innate intermediate level were given by him, Yunwu.
But now, with more than 500 Xiantian realms and over 10,000 soldiers under his command, he is already the strongest commander in Baiyun Peak, both in terms of power and personal combat power!
His training of soldiers by Shen Zhui is unparalleled by others. The treatment of acquired soldiers and corps commanders is almost comparable to that of most people in the Xiantian realm.
The provision of equipment, elixirs, and other resources is among the highest in the entire Wu'an Army.
Although such conditions cannot directly prove the combat effectiveness, but with so much money, will the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command be poor?
At first, he, Yun Wu, was under pressure to convince everyone and persuaded Yun Duo to recruit Shen Zhui. He never thought that Shen Zhui could grow so fast, but now, Shen Zhui's combat power far exceeds him!
How long has it been? It’s not even four months!
"The future life is terrible." Yunwu shook his head again and sighed.
Shen Zhui said helplessly: "If you have any requests, just tell me directly. I can't bear this. You have been kind to me, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you saved my life."
"I suffered a little loss, but don't cheat me too hard."
"Hahaha~" Yunwu changed his frown and laughed loudly.
"What do you mean by cheating on you? That's ridiculous!" Yun Wu said proudly. "Now that you are prosperous, shouldn't you be filial to your elders?"
"Yes, yes, it should, it should!" Shen Zhui shook his head with a wry smile.
"Boy, you only brought more than 1,700 people with your flying boat, right?" Yun Wu said with a smile.
"good."
"Half Moon City and the Hengzong Defense Zone are both twice the size of ordinary border cities."
"I have studied it for you a long time ago. If your nine military cities are formed into a line, this Half-Moon City will happen to be the center."
"The city is large and the location is good. It's best to use it as a base camp to coordinate and command the soldiers."
"You are in the best position to be here, am I right?"
"It makes sense." Shen Zhui nodded. He really thought so. During the days of guarding the border town, Banyue City was indeed the most suitable place.
No matter which military city he went to, the distance was almost the same.
However, when Shen Zhui saw that Yun Wu didn't talk about the benefits, but analyzed it for a long time, he suddenly felt something bad and became wary.
His intuition told him that Yunwu's request was definitely not that easy to handle.
"Ahem... Look, Banyue City is so big, and you only have over a thousand people stationed in this city. Isn't that a little short?" Yunwu grinned, showing a row of white teeth.
"Oh my god..." Shen Zhui immediately understood what Yun Wu wanted to say.
