Chapter 3: Commanding the Expedition

"Successful check-in. ”

"Congratulations on getting the Beans. ”

Waking up early in the morning, the check-in system has been updated, and Zhou Xiao has checked in for the second time in his life.

"Bing Bean?" Zhou Xiao frowned slightly, not knowing what it was.

Immediately looked at the properties:

Item Name: Soldier Beans (Alias: Scattering Beans into Soldiers)

Item Grade: Divine Grade

Item Description: First-level soldier beans, scattering the soldier beans can summon a hundred heavenly soldiers to help. Bing Beans can grow and upgrade, and there is no level cap. The higher the level of the Bean, the more Celestial Soldiers can be summoned. It needs to be watered and nourished by the host with the luck of the Son of Heaven to upgrade.

"Is it so amazing? There is no upper limit on the level, doesn't it mean that as long as the level is enough, you can summon as many heavenly soldiers as you want?" Zhou Xiao asked the system excitedly.

System: "The theory is like this, but the more luck you need in the future, the more luck you need, it's not easy. ”

"Is there a difference between a heavenly soldier and an ordinary soldier?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"The cultivation of the heavenly soldiers is profound, and one blocks hundreds. They are illusory beings, painless, killing machines on the battlefield!"

"Sounds a bit strong!" Zhou Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, don't look at the fact that he can only summon a hundred heavenly soldiers now.

Just this 100 days of soldiers can overthrow an army of 10,000 people.

Absolute baby.

But Zhou Xiao still had a doubt, "How to get the luck of the Son of Heaven?"

"Cultivating the Book of Heaven can obtain a certain amount of Son of Heaven luck. The system replied.

"There is no other way to obtain it?" Zhou Xiao felt that cultivation alone was too slow and too little.

"If the host expands its territory and prospers the Great Zhou, it will naturally obtain the luck of the Son of Heaven. In addition, the system will also give it away randomly. ”

"Okay, the standard upgrade route. Zhou Xiao's consciousness was withdrawn from the system.

At this time, a palace maid served him to wash and change his clothes.

Well

The palace maids who serve him are not bad.

He suddenly thought that as the emperor, he didn't seem to have the standard harem of three thousand.

Don't say three thousand,

Now there are none of them.

ay

Lose face.

Thinking wildly, the eunuchs had already presented breakfast, and it was early morning after a simple meal.

Because Qin Qiang was sentenced to the Nine Clans, the atmosphere in the court today is a little dignified.

Seeing Zhou Xiao's thunderous methods, the officials were also cautious and cautious.

Zhao Zilong started the Great Zhou army and assembled it and waited outside the palace.

What made Zhou Xiao a little stuffy was that

The total number of troops in the entire Great Zhou was less than 100,000.

No wonder even Liuyun Kingdom dared to trample Da Zhou under his feet.

Yesterday, Zhou Xiao said that he would fight with Liuyun Country at any cost, and the ministers were still a little worried, "Your Majesty, the current strength of the Great Zhou is insufficient, the treasury is empty, and the current situation does not allow a war with Liuyun Country at all, please think carefully." ”

Zhou Xiao was a little surprised.

Yesterday he made his attitude very clear.

I didn't expect someone to let him think carefully today.

Zhou Xiao looked at the official who spoke.

This person is a tobe servant.

Qian Zhong, the head of the household department on the side, listened to Geng Zhi's speech, and even gave Geng Zhi a look, but Geng Zhi ignored Qian Zhong at all.

All this fell in Zhou Xiao's eyes, and he asked Geng Zhidao: "The treasury is empty?" ”

"Back to the emperor," Geng Zhi said respectfully: "In recent years, the court has been corrupt, and corruption has become common among officials in various ministries, and the country's situation has gradually declined. Now that the treasury is less than 100,000 taels of silver, this time the army will inevitably be exhausted......"

"So little?" this is something that Zhou Xiao didn't expect.

He had just regained the throne and did not know much about the situation of the Great Zhou.

He knew that the current Da Zhou was bad.

But I didn't expect it to be so bad.

What a mess.

"It's true. Geng Zhidao, "So please think twice about the emperor." ”

Zhou Xiao looked at Geng Zhi, "I appreciate your courage to tell the truth. However, it is imperative to send troops out. Yesterday, a lot of money was found among Qin Qiang's family members, which was just for the army. ”

"As for the wind of corruption that Aiqing reacted to, I have my own decision. Zhou Xiao stared at the court, "Everything will wait for me to triumph, and then thoroughly investigate one by one." ”

"If you report yourself, I will reduce the punishment as appropriate. Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference. ”

As he spoke, Zhou smiled and stood up, and Long Wei was mighty.

"If I find out, I will severely punish him according to law. Retreat. ”

Zhou smiled and turned away.

The eunuch Wei Zhong followed.

And under the court in the mountain and river hall, the officials fell into silence for a long time.

Many weak-hearted people trembled and hated Geng Zhi to the core.

Moreover, Zhou Xiao's last few words were meaningful, and they were deliberately done, except for a few courtiers, all the ministers were panicked for a while.

They could predict that in the near future, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty would be surging......

After retreating from the dynasty, Zhou Xiao wore battle armor, rode a war horse, and personally accompanied Zhao Zilong to the Liuyun Kingdom.

100,000 troops,

Mighty towards the east.

"Lord, why did you send troops in advance?" Zhao Zilong asked.

Zhou smiled: "The use of soldiers is a surprise. Liuyun Kingdom thought that my Great Zhou would abandon Luyang County in order to seek a truce. At this time, they will be defenseless. ”

Strategy?

Zhou Xiao actually doesn't really understand.

He just wanted to quell the unrest in the east as soon as possible.

Luyang County is not far from the imperial city, and they hurried overnight, and arrived at Luyang County at dawn the next day.

At this time, outside the city of Luyang County, the army of Liuyun Kingdom was stationed not far away, eyeing the defenders of Luyang County.

At swords' points.

Last night, the defenders of Luyang had a brief confrontation with the army of Liuyun Kingdom, and in the end, the defenders of Luyang County suffered a crushing defeat and suffered a demoralization setback.

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" said Yang Hu, the general of the Luyang County guard, impatiently.

"At present, the national treasury is empty, and there is no material supply for the whole country. I'm afraid we've already been abandoned......" Yang Long said, "Big brother, let's run away earlier." Otherwise, when the time limit comes, we may ......"

"Nonsense!" Yang Hu interrupted Yang Long with a furious shout, "We Great Zhou soldiers will live and die with the Great Zhou! Even if we die in battle, we will not be soft eggs!"

"Now is the time for us to throw our heads and spill blood for Da Zhou! How can we be cowardly?" Yang Hu's voice was like rolling thunder, and he was upright.

"But...... There is no hope for the Great Zhou!" Yang Long was deeply desperate, "It has been more than ten days since the letter of support was sent, and there has been no response yet. Big brother, I know you are loyal to Da Zhou. But I'm waiting here to fight desperately, how will the royal family treat me?"

The two brothers argued.

Yang Hu knew very well that now that the army of Luyang County was running out of grain and grass, if the Liuyun Kingdom launched another attack at night, they would eventually die in battle, and Luyang City would eventually fall......

The ambition of the wolf son of the Liuyun Country.

The two sides had already negotiated an armistice, but Liuyun Country did not abide by the agreement and sent troops to harass them from time to time.

It gave Yang Hu a headache.

At the time of the dispute,

Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly came to report.

"Report!!"

Yang Hu's nerves tensed instantly, "Liuyun Kingdom is attacking the city again?"

"General!"

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

"Reinforcements have arrived!" the soldier excitedly said.

It was as if the sudden arrival of reinforcements had finally given them hope for life for the soldiers at the bottom.

Yang Hu couldn't hold back his excitement, "Great!"

"I knew that Da Zhou would not abandon me and wait!"

"Hurry up!" Yang Hu stepped out, followed by Yang Long and the soldiers......
