Chapter 171: The army is streamlined and returns to the royal city
"My lord, after this battle, there are still more than 700,000 troops under my command, all of whom are combatants, and it is not a problem to defend all sides. Luo Yi then said in a deep voice.
"My lord, the strength of the army under my command is about 680,000, so if you calculate it, the strength of our three-way army is also nearly 2 million, and it is not difficult to mobilize some troops to defend the important places. Li Guang looked at Xu Shu and nodded.
"Nearly two million troops?"
Enough is enough.
Xu Shu stood up, but he took Huo Quzhi, Luo Yi and Li Guang to the side hall, where a huge map with a length and width of three zhang had been spread.
On the map, there is no longer a division of dynasties such as the Dalin Dynasty, the Dayu Dynasty, the Daying Dynasty, and so on.
This is supposed to be a new map, with more detailed and clear descriptions of the terrain and river divisions than previous maps, and already indicating the location of the rebuilt royal city of Yangzhou.
On the map, there are many important places that have been highlighted in the regions of the four directions, which are clear at a glance.
"This is a new map that I revised with Lord Zhuge and Lord Wang, and on top of this, there are still some important places that we must guard, and important places that we must guard in all directions. Xu Shu pointed to this map and said.
on the map.
In general, counting the land of the previous Great Zhou Dynasty, the territory of the Sifang Dynasty is irregularly distributed.
In the past, the four dynasties occupied one side of each side.
And now, the land of these four dynasties is integrated, and the whole looks like a fan, the large side of the fan is bounded by the vertical and horizontal mountains, and the small side of the fan is bounded by the Roland swamp behind Shushan Prefecture.
The location of the royal city is in the direction of the small side of the fan, not in the center of the whole map.
"Here. β
Xu Shu pointed to a piece of land on the edge of the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, and said indifferently: "There are many murderers who have gathered here, and they need to be cleaned up next." β
"This haunted building can be solved. β
Cao Zhengchun, who had no sense of existence on the side, said suddenly, take this matter down.
Murderers?
If there is a suitable person, then train and train, and you will be considered a good subordinate in the future.
At least stronger than ordinary warriors.
"Yes, then Lord Cao's ghost building will be in charge. Xu Shu looked at Cao Zhengchun, pondered for a moment, and then nodded and said.
These thugs have been entrenched there for a long time, turning it into a kingdom of chaos.
If it is not impossible to use a large army to suppress it, it is easy to startle the snake, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to deal with these people when they hide in the vertical and horizontal mountains.
And the ghost building shot is different.
To deal with these guys who are like poisonous snakes, the only way to attack a force like the ghost building that is more ruthless and poisonous than them is to 'prescribe the right medicine' and can kill them with one blow.
"Then the next step is to guard the important places of all sides, and to correct the turmoil and unrest in various places. β
Xu Shu said.
This time, the discussion lasted for two hours, mainly to discuss how to correct and calm the turmoil caused by the conquest of all sides, and to eliminate the bandits who had been dancing happily during this period.
Restore order to all parties and guard the choke points of all parties!
These two points are the main things that Xu Shu summoned Huo Qubing to discuss after completely conquering the lands of several major dynasties.
After deliberation, Huo Quai's illness and they did not stay.
On the day of his return, the armies were divided and headed for the important places of all sides, mainly to guard the four sides of the land in the vertical and horizontal mountains, to replan the defensive lines of various places, to mobilize the defenders from all over the country, to clear the turmoil, and so on.
When all this was ordered, it was not long before even more magnificent border towns began to be rebuilt on the borders of the Quartet.
Some of the original defensive points in various places were abandoned.
After the chaos of the initial mobilization, the defense of the large armies in various places became clear, roughly to establish three huge lines of defense around the royal city, not only to guard against the possibility of the Shang Ancient Dynasty attacking from the direction of the vertical and horizontal mountains, but also to guard against the possible arrival of the Yulan Holy Dynasty from the Roland Swamp.
When all the transfers were established and the defensive points in various places began to be rebuilt, Xu Shu also commanded a large army to quell the turmoil in various places.
After a month, the land that had been tormented by the battle finally returned to peace, and the defenders everywhere stopped moving, and stood guard in their respective areas, and stared in all directions, for the fierce bandits who would not come out and jump.
After the calm was restored in various places, Xu Shu once again counted the army under Huo Quzhi, Li Guang and Luo Yi, but it turned out that after removing the army guarding the important places of all parties, after some rectification, the strength of the army under them had increased to as much as three million.
Three million!
That's too much, and now this small piece of land doesn't need an army of three million at all.
So after asking Zhou Tian, Xu Shu and the others started a new round of disarmament - this disarmament is also very simple, after Huo Qubing and the three of them have been training at the hell level several times in the past half a month, they persuaded all the people in the army to retreat, so that they could return to their hometowns with enough severance pay.
Half a month later.
After the army of three million has been streamlined and streamlined, there are only about 900,000 people left, and the cultivation is all above the seventh level of the physical realm, and they are all the elite of the elite!
At this time, Xu Shu and the others gathered the army and began to head towards the royal city, returning triumphantly.
In the center of Yangzhou, a lake with more than ten miles of water, there is a drifting mist, and the white water vapor emanates from the lake, condensing and not dispersing, forming a charming fairyland.
Two figures slowly descended from the sky, their eyes fell on this lake, and they scanned all directions, with a thoughtful look in their eyes.
These two figures, one of them is handsome and handsome, holding a cyan light sword, wearing a tight swordsman's robe, flowing like a fairy between gestures, and his temperament is extraordinary. The other person was a strange woman who was as pretty as snow, with three thousand green silks fluttering in the breeze, with a sharp edge like a sword blade slashing through the air, and her breath was as cold as frost.
The handsome man is always half a step behind the woman when he walks with the woman, and he does not dare to make any mistakes when he looks at the woman, but he is full of awe and respect.
This time, the two of them landed on the lake, and after a glance, the handsome man raised his eyebrows and said: "Senior sister, this seems to be a leyline that has just begun to condense, looking at it, this leyline should have just begun to condense for a long time, and it has not been formed." β
"It's a pity, if it's a vein that has been condensed and formed, then I can't say what treasures will be hidden in it. β
The woman who was called the junior sister just bowed her head slightly, and after glancing at the lake below, she looked at the four directions and said slowly, her voice was crisp and moving: "What the senior brother said is, but from our previous observations, this side of the leyline can affect the area within a radius of thousands of miles just after it is formed, and if it is really formed, it should be extraordinary." β
"And wherever the leylines are natural, there will be people born with natural talents. The woman looked at the handsome man and said, "So senior brother, let's look around to see if we can find it, and if we can find it, then maybe we can take it back to Jianzhou." β
"It's-"
The handsome man hesitated, and said with a wry smile: "Senior sister, having said that, even if you find this person and bring it back to Jianzhou, the master may not necessarily keep this person, where will this person go when the time comes?"
"No, it won't. β
A hint of cunning flashed in the woman's eyes, and she said: "Since I brought people back to Jianzhou, then I will be responsible, and the master will not take him in, so I will take him (her) as an apprentice." β
"Senior sister, can we discuss it first?" The handsome man suddenly had a big headache, if this thing is done, then he will be finished.
"No, you can't. β
However, the woman's words blocked his words of discussion, but the handsome man did not dare to have an opinion, because he had tried to have an opinion many times before, and finally he lay down countless times.
His cultivation is not bad, but-
When it comes to demons, it's not something that cultivation can say.
After observing the lake for a while, the two of them then drifted away, and the direction of this departure was the direction of Wangcheng, because in this direction, they could feel a trace of a strange aura through the Qi Luck Observation Technique, which was the breath of Qi Luck Condensation!
And at this moment, after nearly four months of repairing the royal city, Zhou Tian stepped into the palace that had turned into a scorched earth, surrounded by high walls, watchtowers hidden between the palaces, a solemn and noble building complex, and a magnificent and majestic majesty.
After Zhuge Liang's planning, this once destroyed royal city finally regained its new vitality, and a huge royal palace appeared in front of Zhou Tian's eyes at this moment, shaking his eyes.
"How many palaces have been built here?"
Zhou Tian looked around, and while walking inside, he also looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.
"For the time being, only 9,999 palaces have been built, and for now, it should be enough. Zhuge Liang said, "Among them, 3,333 palaces are in the harem, including a piece of landscape behind the royal city, which stretches for about 50 miles. The remaining 6,666 palaces are in the main palace, occupying most of the royal palace. β
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine palaces?"
Zhou Tian smacked his tongue slightly, he knew that if he wanted to govern such a land in the future, he would definitely need a lot of people, but this palace was also a little more.
And there are three thousand three hundred and thirty-three palaces in the haremβ
In other words, he is now alone, is there such a big harem?
"My lord. β
"My lord. β
Walking all the way to the depths of the palace, there are already many scholars here, all of whom are guest ministers and celebrities who assist Zhuge Liang and Wang Yangming in governing all parties.
Until the kingdom was rebuilt, they had only that identity.
