Chapter 10: What's going on?

"Don't you want to keep a group of people in Banyue City?" Shen Zhui said helplessly.

"Not bad!" Yunwu said. "Ban Yue City is more than enough to house five thousand people. You now have nine military cities. The eight thousand people you brought now, plus the original five thousand people, thirteen thousand seem to be a lot. However, it is scattered to nine The military city seems to be missing."

"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?"

"It 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 still quite good. I haven't been dazzled by the praises in recent days." Yunwu nodded with satisfaction.

Shen Zhui progressed too fast, and 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 so fast.

Even looking at the entire Wu'an Army, Li Chengfeng's promotion speed is comparable to 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 let those people of secondary origins become subjects of our 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."

"Forget it about number four, I don't allow my comment on this matter."

Shen Zhui understood Yun Wu's words but hesitated.

This fourth factor is probably related to the national policy of destroying ancestral clans and abandoning temples and the constraints of King 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 in 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. The Wu'an Army alone has become somewhat difficult to resist!"

Yunwu said worriedly: "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 stipulated 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 a 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 an idiot's dream! "

"Four days ago, if Helianlie hadn't arrived at Cirrus Cloud City in time, I'm afraid that all the Lingtian ore veins you have outside of Cirrus Cloud 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 unknown things in 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 general, and where and how they will fight is all up to you!"

Seeing how generous Yun Wu was and thinking about him, Shen Zhui couldn't help but sigh that he was still too young.

I'm such a mean-mouthed person! Why bring this up if everything is fine?

That's good, you can climb up the pole!

This is treating yourself as a free labor force!

Yunwu just talked a lot and went around in a circle, but he actually 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 were thinking about Shen Zhui for him, and the reasons were very good. You boy is now famous, but you have never led a war, which is a bit unsightly. Now the manpower under your command can barely defend the nine military cities. If you want to take the initiative, the number will be smaller.

But it doesn’t matter, they are all from the Baiyun Peak lineage, and our four commanders will lend you troops! Make you famous!

actually

Since he is seconding soldiers, during this period of time, Shen Zhui will have 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 military achievements captured will be returned to the public for distribution, the prerequisite is that they must fight well and win!

Once he wins, he still owes the four commanders a favor. Is it reasonable not to give them some benefits?

And, it’s just a secondment!

Afterwards, these soldiers led the military exploits to capture, updated their equipment, and improved their combat power. They had to return to the four commanders.

Helian Lie, Yunwu Yunfeng, and Chen Chen have all been commanders for many years, and the development of their soldiers has already reached a bloated level.

If he borrows troops to chase Shen, even if he loses them all, 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 get benefits. If it doesn't succeed, there won't 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 there is no 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, there needs to be a big battle. 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 around 100,000. Since the Lingqiao realm killed in the secret space does not count as military merits, he is still far from a million military merits!

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 many years and months 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!

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 he 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 the troops from the border town are taken away, it will be a big sin! As the general guarding the military city, he cannot escape the blame for Shen Zhui!

"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 after just hearing Shen Zhui's reputation? It turned out to be waiting for him here!

Others said this would only be counterproductive, but Yunwu was 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! How about it?"

"I did it!" Shen Zhui gritted his teeth.

This was indeed a good thing for him and he couldn't refuse.

Not only can you accumulate military merits and hone your soldiers, but more importantly, you can do good deeds!

His good deeds had not increased for a long time.

As for why the four commanders didn't do it themselves.

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 captain. Only he can deal with those masters from other sects!

"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 too 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 all changed a lot. His skin became much darker, and his eyes were 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 advance to the Spirit Bridge realm is almost zero. Because they were ordered by Wei He to join the Wu'an Army. If Wei He hadn't given the order, even if they were promoted to the Lingqiao Realm, they would have continued to serve under Shen Zhui.

"Etiquette must not be abolished, and the commander 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 seen each other. Shen Zhui's cultivation had surpassed his, and he had reached a level that was difficult for ordinary people to reach. the height of.

"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 He's senior brother. He had extraordinary vision and knowledge. With just one command, he could guess his intentions.

"Oh? Brother Wang, tell me, why do you have such a guess?" Shen Zhui said with a smile, without comment.

Wang Long said: "Any military deployment is not without purpose."

"The three of us are staying in Banyue City, presumably because we have troops to lead. And 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 should be on the other side of the Canglan River. stronghold."

"Haha, Brother Wang is really awesome." Shen Zhui said with a smile. "Yes, I do have this intention, but it is still in the preparation stage at this time. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. Don't let the news leak. Just wait quietly in the city lord's mansion."

"yes."

One after another, Shen Zhui summoned dozens of powerful team leaders in the city lord's palace and made corresponding arrangements.

After working hard for two hours, I finally got free time.

Arriving at a place in the city lord's mansion, Shen Zhui landed outside the quiet attic.

This is Murong Qingxue's residence. 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 extreme realm steps into the Spirit Bridge realm, he can gain innate magical powers, but at this time, Shen Zhui reached the middle level of the Spirit Bridge and did not discover the secret of the innate magical powers.

Murong Qingxue worked hard to pursue the ultimate realm 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.

"My lord, 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, 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!

"What's going on?" Shen Zhui walked over quickly.
