"Your Majesty, Andy City refused to carry out His Majesty's order, and sent a large army to capture all the towns within three thousand miles of Andy City, expel the officials of the empire in these towns, use the officials of Andy City, and manage these towns, as if they want to enclose the land as the king!" The internal official, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, looked at Long Kun cautiously and reported.

"I know, pass on my order, let the empire reserve the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh legions all dispatch, cooperate with the southeast, northwest, and four border armies, and advance in the direction of Andy City, be sure to rush to Andy City within a month, and form a siege of Andy City!" After hearing the report of the internal official, Long Kun ordered loudly with anger on his face.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" As soon as Long Kun's voice fell, the internal official immediately responded loudly, and quickly left, conveying Long Kun's order.

Soon after, Long Kun's order was transmitted to the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh legions of the imperial standing army and the four border armies of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh legions of the imperial standing army and the four border armies of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, with a total of one million troops, marching towards Andy City.

Such a big military move, completely hidden from anyone, just a few days of effort, the news of the encirclement of Andy City by a million troops, spread throughout the entire Emerald Country, and spread to the surrounding countries, so that the Emerald Country and the people of the surrounding countries have set their eyes on Andy City, quietly waiting for the war to take over.

The transfer of a million troops is the largest military movement in the Emerald Country in the past hundred years, which makes the people of the Emerald Country feel very uneasy, and they are waiting for the start of the war to start stockpiling various materials, especially food supplies, in case the war situation worsens, and the Emerald Country is plunged into a chaotic civil war, and they do not have enough food to survive.

The news of the encirclement and suppression of Andy City by the million-strong army of the Emerald Country made Tian Hongguo, Liuli Country, Feishui Country, Tianheng Kingdom, Anning Country, Crescent Moon Fruit, Tianyin Kingdom, Roman Country, and Flowing Fire Country overjoyed, and they all actively mobilized military forces in accordance with the secret agreement, quietly gathered troops, and hoarded not far from the border of the Emerald Country, ready to invade the Emerald Country at any time, carve up the land of the Emerald Country, and meet in Andy City to share the advanced gold management and alchemy technology in the hands of the Zhao family in Andy City.

At the same time, the news of the empire's million-strong army encircling Andy City made Andy City's lord Zhao Kun a little worried, and immediately found Zhao Hu, wanting to ask Zhao Hu's opinion on the empire's million-strong army encircling Andy City.

"Dad, don't worry, our Andy City will definitely be fine! Although the empire has sent a million troops to encircle and suppress our Andy City, but the millions of troops that need to be consumed to act together are too large, and in less than a month, the empire's million troops will not be able to step into our Andy City's sphere of influence at all!

In a month's time, the 100,000 recruits in Andy City should have finished their training and should be ready to go into battle! At that time, our Andy City had 100,000 merchant guards, 100,000 trained new troops, 50,000 city guards and 50,000 escorts, a total of 300,000 troops, which could completely encircle and suppress the empire's million-strong army!

Of course, in order to prevent accidents, I will recruit 200,000 recruits for training from the newly occupied towns such as Rainbow City and Tianyu City, so that we have a full 500,000 army in Andy City, which can completely protect the safety of Andy City and the nearby thousands of miles of land, and even take this opportunity to expand the territory and pocket the land of the empire! Looking at Zhao Kun with a worried face, Zhao Hu said with a smile on his face, exuding a strong sense of confidence all over his body.

Hearing Zhao Hu's words, seeing the smile on Zhao Hu's face, and feeling the strong confident aura released from Zhao Hu's body, Zhao Kun inexplicably felt a sense of peace of mind, and the worry on his face disappeared, revealing a faint smile.

"Xiaohu, our Zhao family has accumulated a lot of wealth in the past four years and hoarded millions of sets of armor weapons, rather than keeping these wealth and armor weapons moldy in the warehouse, there is no need to use them!

There are more than 50 million people in the 3,000-mile town near Andy City, and most of these 50 million people are from the stage of food and clothing, and at least 10 million can't even eat enough, so why don't we recruit a million recruits from them and train them into an army! I believe that with this million new troops, the safety of our Andy City will be absolutely guaranteed, and the Imperial Army will not want to step into our Andy City! Zhao Kun, who was worried in his heart, thought of the mountains of armor, weapons and wealth in his family's warehouse, his head moved, and he looked at Zhao Hu with an expectant look and said.

"Dad, although we have the conditions to recruit a million recruits at a time, we don't have that many officers! Without an experienced officer in command, the 1 million new army is simply a rabble, vulnerable! Hearing Zhao Kun's words, Zhao Hu said with a wry smile.

"Xiaohu, don't play those false things with me, I don't know the situation in Andy City! Of the 50,000 guards under your command, which one of them has not gone through several years of military training, which one has not mastered a large amount of military knowledge, and which one of them cannot serve as a middle- and low-level officer! As long as you are willing to disperse the 50,000 convoys, you can definitely easily form an army of millions, and a mere army of one million is nothing! As soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, Zhao Kun looked at Zhao Hu with a smile on his face and said.

The escort team has been training for several years, and Zhao Kun knows a lot about the escort team, knowing that in addition to strict military training, the escort team also has to learn a lot of war knowledge and skills, which is completely cultivated according to the needs of imperial officers.

It is no exaggeration to say that every soldier in the 50,000 guards has the military qualities of a middle- and low-level officer in the empire, and can command an army of 100 or 1,000 people.

If he didn't know the situation of the escort team, Zhao Kun would not have proposed to expand the army by one million. After all, after serving as the city lord of Andy City for four years, Zhao Kun still knew that there were not enough officers, and the new army composed of a group of farmers had no combat effectiveness at all.

Hearing Zhao Kun's words, the wry smile on Zhao Hu's face became even stronger, the 50,000 Escort Force was the elite army he formed, and it was also the foundation of Andy City and their Zhao family, with extremely strong combat effectiveness, it could completely resist the attacks of millions of troops, and even crush and annihilate millions of troops.

With such a strong army, Zhao Kun actually wanted to break it up and send soldiers to the new army as officers, which made Zhao Hu smile bitterly and didn't know what to say.

Seeing the wry smile on Zhao Hu's face, Zhao Kun seemed to know Zhao Hu's thoughts, and smiled slightly: "Xiaohu, I know what you mean!" Don't you just want to cultivate an elite army, thinking that the number of troops lies in the elite, not in the number! Your idea is good, but it's out of place! You know, the war between us and the Empire has broken out, the Empire has millions of troops, and we only have 300,000 troops, even if our army is elite and can be used as ten, but the Imperial army can use our numerical advantage to consume us alive!

At the same time, with the expansion of our territory, the number of troops in our hands cannot meet the needs of the territory for the army, so it is imperative to expand the army by one million! Of course, you can also recruit a group of escorts to train, and I believe that with your ability, you can spend a few years to cultivate more and more elite escorts. ”

Hearing Zhao Kun's words, Zhao Hu pondered for a while, feeling that although the time to recruit a million new troops was not very ripe, it was not too bad, so he nodded lightly and said, "Okay!" Since my father said so, I will follow my father's suggestion to recruit 1 million recruits from the towns and villages 3,000 miles near Andy City, form ten new armies, and transfer 20,000 people from the 50,000 escort corps to serve as officers at all levels of the ten new armies, so that the new army can form combat effectiveness as much as possible! ”

Seeing that Zhao Hu agreed to his suggestion, Zhao Kun showed a happy smile on his face, chatted with Zhao Hu casually for a while, and then left Zhao Hu's room and returned to his mansion, and prepared to gather the officials of the City Lord's Mansion to mobilize the food, armor, weapons, salaries and other materials needed by the one million new army.

Looking at the back of Zhao Kun leaving, the corners of Zhao Hu's mouth showed a faint smile, and he whispered to himself: "Dad has finally begun to take the initiative to participate in the war against the empire, I hope that my dad can grow up in this war with the empire, so that I can rest assured that everything in Andy City will be handed over to my father, and I can leave this land without the slightest aura with confidence!" ”

In the early morning of the second day, the news of Andy City's recruitment of one million recruits spread from the Andy City Lord's Mansion, and a group of conscription teams set out from Andy City and marched in the direction of various towns and villages within Andy City's sphere of influence, recruiting a strong young man into the army.

At the same time, all kinds of supplies were also loaded from the newly occupied town of Andy City, escorted by the Andy City merchant group, and transported to the huge military camp under construction on the outskirts of Andy City to prepare for the upcoming million new army.

The news of Andy City's recruitment of one million recruits, while spreading in Andy City's sphere of influence, also quickly spread throughout the entire empire and spread to the surrounding countries, instantly shaking the entire empire and surrounding countries, making the people of the empire and several surrounding countries all stunned, surprised and shocked by the Zhao family's strong financial resources.
