"Don't you want to keep a group of people in Banyue City?" Shen Zhui said helplessly.
"Not bad!" Yun Wu said. "Half Moon City is more than enough to house 5,000 people. You now have nine military cities. The 8,000 people you brought now, plus the original 5,000 people, 13,000 seems to be a lot. .However, if it is dispersed to nine military cities, it seems to be too little."
"Your original five thousand men were divided into five cities, but each city only had one thousand men!"
"And the border towns that I, Baiyunfeng, guard, are almost all close to the Canglan River. Boy, do you know what this means?"
"This means that once a war breaks out, the border town where I, Baiyunfeng, is located will bear the brunt, and with only a thousand people, it will be difficult to shrink the defense." Shen Zhui replied.
"It's quite good. I haven't been dazzled by the praises in recent days." Yunwu nodded with satisfaction.
Shen Zhui's progress was so rapid that his power more than doubled. Looking at the development history of the first eight commanders of Baiyun Peak, there has never been anyone like Shen Zhui, whose personal strength and the number of soldiers under his command have grown at such a rapid rate.
Even looking at the entire Wu'an Army, Li Chengfeng's promotion speed can be compared with Shen Zhui's.
Once a person stands high, he will inevitably look far away and become arrogant and arrogant.
And Shen Zhui was able to see clearly the shortcomings, and Yunwu was certainly satisfied.
"The Canglan River defense line is not as peaceful as you think."
"Marquis Wu'an designated this place as the border fifty years ago. First of all, he wanted to digest the results of the victory in the war outside the country, live with the people, and make those people of secondary origins become our subjects of the Zhou Dynasty."
"Secondly, it is to accumulate force and convert these resources into the combat power of soldiers."
"The third time was the establishment of the sectarian alliance, which forced Marquis Wu An to postpone the pace of the conquest..."
"This fourth... forget it, I don't allow my comment on this matter."
When Shen Zhui saw that Yun Wu was about to speak but hesitated, he understood in his heart.
This fourth factor is probably related to the national policy of destroying ancestral clans and abandoning temples and the constraints imposed by the King of Liang. It’s just that the level involved is too high to explain in detail.
After a pause, Yunwu continued: "The reason why we want to build a military city and set up a defense line on the Canglan River is because the sect alliance is not as weak as imagined."
"Especially in the past ten years, as the three super sects have united to rectify the good and the evil and form an alliance. It is already difficult for our Wu'an Army to resist alone!"
Yunwu said with concern: "Now across the Canglan River, a hundred miles away, the sect alliance has also established thousands of strongholds of different sizes."
"The sect alliance has made a rule that all disciples who have reached the Xiantian realm must go to the front line to fight for three years and earn enough contribution before they can retire."
Yunwu looked at Shen Zhui and said, "Boy, don't think that when the four commanders of us came together to find you, we were robbing you of your interests."
"On the contrary, I'm helping you!"
"If you don't believe me, ask your subordinates in the other five cities. In the past half month since the defense change, how many times have the five border cities been invaded by disciples from outside the city?"
"Let me tell you! There have been twelve battles involving more than 500 people!"
"The highest combat power involved has reached the peak of Lingqiao!"
"You went to the Blood Demon Battlefield, and none of the nine cities under your command had a commander-level combat force. Each city had less than a thousand soldiers, and less than half of them were new recruits. Do you think that those people alone can hold the border? That's a fool's dream! "
"Four days ago, if Helianlie hadn't arrived at Cirrus City in time, I'm afraid that all the Lingtian ore veins you have outside Cirrus City would have been reduced to nothing!"
Shen Zhui was silent and speechless.
As soon as he came back from the Blood Demon Battlefield, he immediately went to Lu Yuanwei's place. His understanding of the border city's defense line was only on paper.
I didn't expect that there are still many things I don't know about it.
Yun Wu looked at Shen Zhui with a smile and said, "Don't worry, since you are here, of course the four military cities will be returned to you."
"I and the other three commanders will allocate some soldiers from under their command to you and give them to your command."
"It would be a bit unreasonable for your majestic Commander Jinwu to come to the front line and not move a sword or a gun."
"But don't worry, the military merits and captures they have won will of course be distributed by you, the commander-in-chief. Where to fight and how to fight are all at your discretion!"
Seeing Yun Wu's generous and caring attitude, Shen Zhui couldn't help but sigh that he was still too young.
You are such a mean-mouthed person! Why would you bring this up if you are so good?
This is good, you can climb up along the pole!
This is treating yourself as free labor!
Yunwu just talked a lot and went around in a circle, but he actually just said one thing.
The four commanders lent him troops so that he, Commander Jinwu, could fight well on the Canglan River!
As for how to do it, that was up to him to pursue.
On the surface, the four commanders are thinking about Shen Zhui for him, and the reasons are very good. You boy is now famous, but you have never led a war, which is a bit unsightly. Now you have the manpower to defend nine military cities. Strong, if you want to take the initiative, the number of people will be small.
But it doesn’t matter, we are all from the Baiyun Peak lineage. Our four commanders will lend you troops! Let you become famous!
Actually...
Since he is seconding soldiers, during this period of time, Shen Zhui has to take care of food, drink and equipment, right?
I heard that the equipment and resources of the ninth commander are much better than others. Now the four commanders entrust their brothers to you to work hard for you. Not to mention giving you special treatment, at least they can't be inferior to other soldiers, right?
Although the military merits captured will be redistributed, the prerequisite is that they must be fought well and won!
Once he wins, he still owes the four commanders a favor. Is it reasonable not to give them some benefits?
And, this is just a secondment!
Afterwards, these soldiers led the military exploits and captured them, updated their equipment, improved their combat power, and had to go back to the four commanders...
Helian Lie, Yunwu Yunfeng, and Chen Chen have all been commanders for many years, and the development of the soldiers has already reached a bloated level.
Lend troops to Shen Zhui, even if they are all lost, it won't be considered a loss of strength. And since Shen Zhui is the commander, they will not take responsibility.
If Shen Zhui succeeds, they will be happy to see the success, and there will be benefits. If he fails, there will not be much loss. At least during the preparation time for the battle, the expense burden of thousands of soldiers will be eliminated!
It can be said that it is not a loss at all!
"I can't refuse..." Shen Zhui wailed in his heart.
Although he knew what the four commanders were planning, he couldn't refuse!
To integrate the soldiers, a big battle is needed. As for reputation, it comes second.
And if you want to reach the rank of captain, you must have one million military merits. And his current military merits are only about 100,000. Since the Lingqiao realm killed in the secret space does not count as military merits, he is still far from one million military merits. Very good!
A person in the Lingqiao realm, even at the peak of Lingqiao, only has more than 20,000 military merits. If he accumulates military merits as a lone ranger... how long will it take to accumulate military merits?
But leading troops in battle is different. 10% of the military merit of the soldiers under his command is attributed to the superior officer directly under his command.
If he fights well, maybe he can quickly accumulate a lot of military merit!
And for Shen Zhui, this is also a real benefit. He now has a total of more than 13,000 people, guarding nine border towns separately, and can use up to 3,000 soldiers for expeditions!
Unless he drains the troops from several border towns, this number is the limit. But can he do this? Obviously impossible!
If something goes wrong if something goes wrong if the troops in the border city are taken away, it will be a big sin! As the chief general guarding the military city, he Shen Zhui cannot absolve himself of the blame!
"Can the four commanders stay to defend?" Shen Zhui asked with the last glimmer of hope.
"Haha, what do you think?" Yun Wu looked at Shen Zhui with a smile.
"You must have discussed this a long time ago!" Shen Zhui said with a wry smile.
No wonder it was so easy for him to get back these military cities with almost no effort. How could the four commanders, who had been famous for many years, be so frightened that they gave up just by hearing Shen Zhui's reputation? They were waiting for him here!
Others say this will only have the opposite effect, but Yunwu is different.
When Shen Zhui thought about it now, he estimated that Helian Lie and Chen Chen had been prepared for their tragic or outright defeat long ago!
Yun Wu shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter whether we discuss it or not. I have explained the pros and cons to you clearly. We will not force you. If you don't agree, I will immediately withdraw my manpower to Banyue City and give it back to you." yes."
"If you agree, the intelligence and soldiers will be sent to Banyue City immediately! What do you think?"
"I did it!" Shen Zhui gritted his teeth.
This was indeed a good thing for him and he couldn't refuse it.
Not only can you accumulate military merit and hone your soldiers, but more importantly, you can do good deeds!
His good deeds have not increased for a long time.
As for why the four commanders didn't take matters into their own hands.
The reason is also very simple.
In terms of high-end combat power, no one can match Shen Zhui!
Being able to defeat Helian Lie with one move, Shen Zhui's combat power far exceeds that of a school lieutenant. Only he can deal with those masters from outside the sect!
"Haha, good boy, I saw you right! Prepare quickly. In three hours, the soldiers and information will be delivered to you!"
…………
Watching Yun Wu leave, Shen Zhui couldn't help but rub his temples.
This April, time was really tight and all kinds of things were coming, making him feel invisible pressure.
"Commander, the king's team is asking for a meeting." A soldier reported.
"Tell them to come in." Shen Zhui took a deep breath, calmed down and regained his composure.
"I see you, Commander." Wang Long walked in with Chen Feng and Ma Wu, and knelt down on one knee.
"Brother Wang, you and I don't have to be so open-minded in private." Shen Zhui walked down the steps with a smile and helped Wang Long and others up.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Wang Long, Chen Feng, and Ma Wu have all changed a lot. Their skin has become much darker, and their eyes are full of high fighting spirit.
These three people have all been promoted to the peak of Xiantian, and Wang Long has begun to transform into the Heaven and Earth Spirit Bridge and entered the stage of opening up the cave.
Compared with others, the possibility of Wang Long and the other three people leaving, even if they were promoted to the Spirit Bridge Realm, was almost zero. Because they were ordered by Wei Wenhe to come to the Wu'an Army. If Wei Wenhe had not given the order, even if they were promoted to the Spirit Bridge Realm, , and will only continue to serve under Shen Zhui.
"Etiquette must not be abolished, and a leader must not abolish private affairs for the sake of public service." Chen Feng said.
Shen Zhui did not hesitate on this matter, nodded and let them go.
"Commander, you are so anxious to call us here, but there is something important?" Wang Long also looked at Shen Zhui with some emotion. It had been a long time since we last saw him. Shen Zhui's cultivation had surpassed him, and he had reached a level that was difficult for ordinary people to reach. height.
"Yes, you three no longer need to stay in Sansha City from now on. You will stay in Banyue City on standby."
"Commander, do you intend to fight on the other side of the Canglan River?" Wang Long asked with a smile.
Shen Zhui secretly thought that Wang Long was indeed Wei Wenhe's senior brother, his vision and knowledge were extraordinary, and he could guess his intentions with just one command.
"Oh? Brother Wang, tell me, why do you have such a guess?" Shen Zhui said with a smile, without comment.
Wang Lung said: "Any military deployment is not without purpose."
"The three of us stayed in Banyue City, presumably because we had troops to lead. Moreover, when I first entered the city, I found that the fifth commander Yunwu's men had not withdrawn, but had increased in number."
"Since Commander Yun has moved, it is very likely that the other three commanders will also move. If they just go to kill some monsters outside the city, there is no need to make such a big fanfare. Therefore, my subordinates guess that the commander's intention is probably the one on the other side of the Canglan River. stronghold."
"Haha, Brother Wang is really powerful." Shen Zhui said with a smile. "Yes, I do have this intention, but it is still in the preparation stage. You must not leak the news, just wait quietly in the city lord's mansion."
"yes."
…………
One after another, Shen Zhui summoned dozens of powerful team members in the city lord's palace and made corresponding arrangements.
After working hard for two hours, I finally got some free time.
The figure came to a place in the city lord's mansion, and Shen Zhui landed outside the quiet attic.
This is the residence of Murong Qingxue. After returning from the Blood Demon Battlefield, Shen Zhui has never forgotten the secret of the Golden Body in the Ultimate Realm.
Legend has it that when a person with a golden body in the Ultimate Realm steps into the Spirit Bridge Realm, he can gain innate magical powers. However, Shen Zhui reached the middle level of the Spirit Bridge at this time and did not discover the secret of the innate magical powers.
Murong Qingxue worked hard to pursue the ultimate state but could not achieve it. Her understanding of this was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"Qingxue, it's me." Shen Zhui's spiritual power tapped on the door, touching the defensive barrier.
"Sir, please come in." Murong Qingxue's voice came out. Her voice was still so cold, but now it sounded a little different to Shen Zhui's ears.
He felt keenly that Murong Qingxue's breath was insufficient, as if she had been severely injured.
Frowning, Shen Zhui quietly opened the door.
As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong and pungent smell. The whole room was filled with the smell of decay.
The furnishings in the room were very simple, including a white jade bed, a desk and a futon for practicing. Murong Qingxue was sitting on the white jade bed.
Shen Zhui raised his eyes and saw that Murong Qingxue was not wearing a mask at the moment, her face was extremely pale, her original alluring beauty was no longer there, and there were two purple-black blood marks on her face.
What surprised Shen Zhui even more was that Murong Qingxue's aura at this moment was only at the innate elementary level. It was even difficult to stabilize at the innate elementary level, and he might fall down at any time!
