Chapter 24: Sir, this is bad!

"Prince Liang again?" Shen Zhui was shocked. "Previously, Zixuan said that Prince Liang was the backer of the Li family and secretly prevented Marquis Wu'an from becoming the king. Now Lian Yunfeng says the same thing."

"Brother Shen doesn't seem surprised?"

Facing Yunfeng's inquiry, Shen Zhui nodded.

"Have heard a little bit."

"According to legend, three hundred years ago, Marquis Ping Ding expelled the sect and incorporated several continents into the imperial court's territory. This was how Dayuan Mansion became today."

"Ping Dinghou was also named King of Liang."

"Not bad." Yunfeng said. "Opening up territory, expelling sects from outside the country, reclaiming the barren mountains and ridges to mature land, building cities, and taking in the refugees from outside the country. This is an unparalleled achievement, and it is also the capital of the king."

"Now our Wu'an Army has actually pushed the border to the Canglan River. From the north of the Canglan River, there are no mountain spirits and wild monsters. There are no sectarian mountain gates, and hundreds of military cities have been built to guard it."

Chen Chen explained: "These military cities are responsible for settling ordinary people who were rescued from the sects outside the country."

Shen Zhui nodded. In the battle to destroy Shanmen, even the third-rate sects and vassals had a population of tens of thousands.

Not to mention the second-rate sects, which rule hundreds of thousands of people.

Once the sect was destroyed, these people became refugees without houses, land, or household registration. Even though there were a lot of losses after the war, tens of thousands of refugees were rescued after every battle.

With such a large population, we can’t all be sent to mine. No matter how big the mine is, we don’t need so many people to dig!

However, such refugees cannot be returned to the imperial court at once, because the ruling methods of the sectarian circles are incompatible with the imperial court, and some are even extremely hostile to the imperial court and are fanatical believers.

Due to various considerations, most of these people were unable to enter the imperial court, so in name, they could not be counted as subjects of the Zhou Dynasty. They could only build new cities, naturalize and discipline them, and open up wasteland to cultivate land.

These refugees provided resource reserves for the Wu'an Army. After two or three generations, these people naturally became subjects of the imperial court.

When these military cities gradually increase in number, the wasteland becomes cultivated land, and the small towns become large cities, the imperial court can build temples, set up government agencies and other institutions in this area of ​​land.

The territory continues to expand outwards, and the population continues to increase. As one goes and the other goes up, one day, there will be no more Fangwai sects!

To truly achieve the goal of being king of the world!

"Ping Dinghou became the king of Liang, and the military power was divided into three, and they were taken over by Wu'anhou who guarded Liangzhou, Shenjianhou of Qingzhou, and Dingwuhou of Jizhou."

"Among them, the Qingzhou Army under the command of Shenjian Hou and the Jizhou Army under the command of Dingwuhou have most of the captain-level officers who were former members of Prince Liang. Even our Wu'an Army has many people who have worked with Prince Liang's Mansion. Close relationship.”

"I have to say that King Liang has no other ideas."

"Boom!" Suddenly a thunderous sound appeared out of thin air in Shen Zhui's command house.

"Shut up! Stop talking!" Helian Lie's expression changed and he shouted quickly.

Chen Chen, Yun Feng Yun Wu's expression changed and he looked at the sky.

At the commander's residence, a dark cloud suddenly appeared. The dark cloud took on the shape of a dragon. A dragon head stared at Baiyun Peak, as if looking for something.

However, this dark cloud seemed to be blocked by an invisible force and was unable to condense into shape. In the end, it seemed that it could not find its target, and the dark cloud suddenly dispersed.

Except for a few people in the command house, no one else noticed this phenomenon. Only the titled captain could sense it.

"Yunfeng Chenchen, I will punish you two with half a year's salary." Yun Duo's voice reached the commander's house.

"Yes." Yunfeng and Chen Chen immediately obeyed.

"Yunfeng, look at you, you have such a bad mouth, you just decide what's going on, you have to make assumptions!" Chen Chen gave Yunfeng a vicious look.

Yunfeng's eyes were expressionless, but he didn't refute.

Shen Zhui was slightly surprised. Zixuan was indeed right. The prince was blessed with the fortune of the country. Even if he didn't call him by his name, he could easily be sensed if he spoke too much. What's more, Yunfeng said something behind the scenes. They all thought that King Liang was disloyal.

"Who are the brothers Zixuan?" After thinking about it, Shen Zhui couldn't help but feel doubtful. The same thing is said, but Zixuan was able to live in peace, while Yunfeng not only caused such an obvious vision, but was even punished by Yun Duo. You know, Yunfeng is the commander, and he is also a member of the Yun clan!

"Cough cough" Yunwu coughed twice, breaking the somewhat solemn atmosphere.

"The main purpose of my visit this time is to discuss border defense."

"Shen Zhui, I, Baiyun Peak, and you have nine commanders."

"The remaining four commanders are all stationed in the Dark Forest area, guarding one side."

"Now that the defense change is imminent, it is our turn for the five of us to go to the Dark Forest to replace the other four commanders."

Shen Zhui nodded. Baiyunfeng plus he had nine commanders, but even when he was leading the banquet, he never saw the other four commanders. It turned out that they were guarding the border.

"I don't know what I should do?" Shen Zhui asked.

"This is simple." Chen Chen waved his hand, and a golden book flew out from the storage ring. The golden book quickly grew in size. It was a map, with a mountain range stretching for thousands of miles, and in it, there were densely packed forty-five Stronghold mark.

Chen Chen pointed at five of the strongholds and said: "These five military cities outside the Dark Forest will be guarded by your people. The other forty cities will be arranged by the four of us."

"Shen Zhui, you have just become the commander, and most of the people under your command are novices. Now it is just right to use these four places as a basis to practice with the monsters in the dark forest. This can also quickly train the people under your command into veterans."

"The population of these military cities is no more than 30,000 to 50,000. Some officials sent by Tianxin Palace manage government affairs. Your people only need to be responsible for the security inside the city and the defense outside the city."

Shen Zhui smiled and said, "Commander Chen, why do I only need to guard five locations?"

Chen Chen smiled and said: "You have only five thousand men under your command. The soldiers are not cooperative with each other. Monsters come out to harass you from time to time in the dark forest. It is appropriate for your people to guard five places. If you have more people, it will be a bit difficult."

Shen Zhui chuckled and said, "Commander Chen doesn't have to worry about that. Shen Zhui has just become the commander of Jin Wu, so he should naturally contribute more to Baiyun Peak. If there are eight more ten seats, he can handle it."

The smile on Chen Chen's face froze, while Shen Zhui looked at him lightly.

The four commanders came together, obviously it couldn't be for some trivial matter. As early as they talked about it, Shen Zhui had secretly started to look up the matter about the defense change of the military city.

It is true that the Dark Forest is guarded by Bai Yunfeng, and it is also true that the commander changes defense. But at the same time, part of the tax revenue in these military cities is distributed to the soldiers who defend the city as resource supplies. Outside, they can kill monsters and obtain precious materials.

It can be said that guarding the military city is not a chore at all, but a great good thing. Otherwise, why would the four of them take this matter so seriously?

It may not be of much benefit to the individual leader, but it can quickly increase the strength of his soldiers!

"This is bullying me because I don't understand the situation." Shen Zhui felt helpless. The military city can be said to be an important resource supply city for all forces. If you only rely on attacking and destroying mountain gates to feed your soldiers, how can there be so many sects to attack?

"Commander Chen, commanders, whether it is good or bad to guard the military city, Shen Zhui can understand your intention to seek benefits for your subordinates, but if you continue to hide it and refuse to say it clearly, I can only ask the captain to make a decision. Already." Shen Zhui said calmly.

Chen Chen and others looked at each other. The four of them came here just to see if there was any opportunity to take advantage. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhui was not fooled at all.

Chen Chen was not embarrassed to be exposed by Shen Zhui. After all, Commander Cheng had been in charge for many years, so he still had some skills in cultivating Qi.

"In that case, let's not be polite." Yunfeng said with a smile. "Shen Zhui, you only have 5,000 people under your command, while we have tens of thousands of people under your command."

"Yes, guarding the military city is beneficial. It allows the people under your command to develop quickly without spending much of your own resources. However, it is much harder for us to feed so many people than it is for you to feed those five thousand people."

"The manpower under your command was brought together by a few of us for you. If you don't care about anything else, you have to recognize this favor, right?"

Yunwu glanced at his uncle, and sure enough, Jiang was still very old. Seeing that Shen Chai couldn't be fooled, he played the favor card in a blink of an eye.

"Shen Zhui, now that you have five thousand men under your command, five military cities are indeed enough." Yun Wu also agreed.

When Shen Zhui saw that Yun Wu had also spoken, he felt a little embarrassed. From an emotional point of view, the Xiantian Realm and the commander of the soldiers under his command were indeed brought up to their current size by the other four, and he did have to admit this.

But reason told him that he couldn't give in so easily. There were only 5,000 people now. Could it be that there had always been only 5,000 people?

"I wonder how the commanders were allocated before?" Shen Zhui did not make a decision immediately, but asked first.

"Of course it's an equal distribution."

"Then I also want to divide into nine military cities!" Shen Zhui said calmly.

"This" Yunwu didn't expect that Shen Zhui wouldn't give in at all, and the atmosphere was a little heavy for a while.

"However, Shen Zhui can temporarily give up the four military cities, but nominally, these four military cities still belong to my defense zone." Shen Zhui said with a smile. "What do you think?"

Seeing that several people were silent, the smile on Shen Zhui's face also faded.

"If you can't accept this plan, there is actually another way."

"What method?"

"Let's have a competition. Whoever is stronger will have more!"

"This method is not bad." Helian Lie said calmly.

""

Chen Chen, Yun Feng Yun Wu and others were immediately speechless.

Among the four of them, Helianlie is at the peak level of Lingqiao, Chen Chen is at the high level of Lingqiao, and Yunfeng Yunwu is at the middle level of Lingqiao.

In terms of strength, Helian Lie is certainly ranked first! Of course he agrees with this method!

But who is second, that has to be said.

Before Shen Zhui became the commander, Chen Chen was recognized as the second among the four.

But since the two challenges at the leadership banquet, no one dared to say that Chen Chen would definitely win against Shen Zhui.

After all, Hu Yao is also a high-ranking Lingqiao, and he is also the commander of King Wu!

As for Yunfeng Yunwu, there is no suspense.

Facing Shen Zhui, it can be said that you will lose but not win!

"It's inappropriate to cough. Why hurt your harmony?" Yunfeng said.

"That's right, that's right. Why don't we just follow Commander Shen's previous suggestion." Yun Wu also immediately agreed.

Chen Chen glanced meaningfully at the two uncles and nephews. Even though Yun Feng Yunwu was really old, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this time.

Facing the discussion proposed by Shen Zhui, a person from the innate realm, they did not dare to accept it, and they were really embarrassed.

"Also, as mentioned before, each of the five people will be divided into nine cities. Before Commander Shen's number expands, the four of me will each guard one city for him." Helianlie spoke again.

Seeing that Helianlie was speaking, Chen Chen didn't say anything else.

"In that case, let's follow what Commander Shen said."

Each of the four people left a trace of their spiritual consciousness on the book, and the distribution of the military city was finally decided.

After a few polite words, the four commanders left one after another.

"It's not easy." Shen Zhui sighed slightly as he watched the four commanders leave.

In fact, these benefits have not greatly improved the personal cultivation of several leaders. It's just that you have to fight for your subordinates. This principle also applies to Shen Zhui.

Don't look at the fact that he still has tens of billions worth of spiritual stones on his body, but if he really wants to expand and train his subordinates, no amount of money will be enough!

"You have to get ready to go to the Blood Demon Battlefield." Shen Zhui thought to himself.

The defense change in the military town was at the end of March, and it only lasted half a month.

And once you enter the Dark Forest to guard, you are not allowed to return easily without an order.

"I am now in the extreme Xiantian realm. I am far away from the perfection of the Golden Bone. I only have the last five acupoints left. Now I have mastered the first move of the fourth level of the Thunder God Technique. I have also learned the Five Elements Incarnation and the Tower of the Void. My comprehensive combat power should be At the top of Lingqiao High Level."

"As long as I don't meet a master of the Spirit Bridge Realm who possesses the essence and blood of ferocious beasts and can use his innate magical powers, even an average Spirit Bridge master cannot kill me so easily."

With a trace of spiritual consciousness entering the Jinwu Order, Shen Zhui began to check the news about the Blood Demon battlefield.

A stream of information quickly appeared in Shen Zhui's spiritual consciousness, and the information about the Blood Demon battlefield was quickly grasped by Shen Zhui.

"The Blood Demon Battlefield is where the gate of the Blood Demon Sect was located thousands of years ago?" Shen Zhui was stunned and looked for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. This is not a relic of the Jiuyou Divine Sect, so why is it related to the Blood Demon Sect? Already? What is the connection between this Blood Demon Cult and the Blood God Cult?

Shen Zhui continued to sort out the intelligence information.

Based on information

More than a thousand years ago, a talented demon master founded the Blood Demon Sect. Soon, the Blood Demon Sect became a super sect in the sect world, with great power!

Moreover, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Blood Demon Cult actually built the mountain gate on the ruins of the Jiuyou Divine Sect.

After that, the ruins of the Nine Nether Divine Sect appeared in the world and became known to the sect world.

Therefore, in order to compete for the relics and treasures of the Jiuyou Divine Sect, many sects in the sect world launched an attack on the Blood Demon Sect under the banner of encircling and suppressing the demonic path.

The two sides engaged in a protracted battle, resulting in numerous casualties. In the end, somehow, the mountain gate of the Blood Demon Sect was connected to the ruins of the Nine Nether Divine Sect.

Together with this, it has also changed the Nine Nether Secret Realm. It no longer appears periodically and disappears into the turbulent flow of space. Rather, it has always existed on the ground.

But at the same time, because the formation barrier of the Nine Nether Secret Realm is still in effect, it has always been in a semi-closed state.

Part of it is connected to the original site of the Blood Demon Sect, and part of it is hidden in the turbulent flow of space.

Because of this characteristic, later generations called the ruins of the Jiuyou Divine Sect the Blood Demon Battlefield!

"So it turns out that the Blood Demon Sect has become the largest force in the world of sects in just a hundred years. It must have discovered the remains of the Jiuyou Divine Sect. And this Blood God Sect is probably the result of the destruction of the Blood Demon Sect. , someone got part of its inheritance and created it." Shen Zhui thought to himself.

At this moment, King Wu Ling suddenly shook slightly.

"Is it Yue Cheng?" Shen Zhui quickly opened the communication, and then Yue Cheng's shadow appeared in front of Shen Zhui.

"Sir, it's not good!"
