Zhao Hu, who got the news, noticed his spiritual power. There is not the slightest growth. I ran to the nearest Black Flame Taoist Temple to check. But he was stunned to find that the Black Flame Taoist Temple had become a righteous Taoist Temple. Naturally, Zhao Hu was so angry that he scolded and ran back angrily. On the contrary, it frightened all the retainers to come and ask.

I thought that the Black Flame Taoist Temple could increase my spiritual power to the most, but it turned out to have nothing to do with me! It seems that he can only increase his mental power by killing or capturing the Black Flame Samurai.

It's just that this Black Flame Taoist Temple doesn't know where to hide, and it was not easy to find a nest of the Black Flame Taoist Temple, but it was directly beaten down by himself. I knew that the Black Flame Daoist Temple didn't have anything to do with myself, so I wouldn't attack Donghai County and go directly to Donglai County.

Raise Donghai County, let him produce an endless stream of Black Flame Warriors, and continue, maybe relying on Donghai County will be able to make his spiritual power awesome.

It's a pity that there is no medicine before and after!

Hey, it's depressing enough.

Zhao Hu, who was helpless, had no choice but to focus on governing the territory, after all, this would consume the most time.

After Zhao Hu first unified Donghai County, he desperately expanded the standing army, desperately funded the samurai to learn power, and also greatly increased the number of assassins, which was naturally known to the surrounding forces.

For this kind of action that is not bad for money and food, everyone is envious and jealous, and it is even more taboo.

It stands to reason that since the Zhao family is taboo, then it is natural to take advantage of the good time when the Zhao family has just swallowed Donghai County and has not yet recovered, and join forces to destroy the Zhao family in one fell swoop.

It's just a pity that the Zhao family is too good at picking the time, and now it has entered the busy time of farming, and it will be the autumn harvest in another month or two, and this is the time to wait for the crops.

It's not that you can't draw troops, but looking at the standing army of one or two thousand at most, and then looking at the standing army that has increased to more than 10,000 people, it's better to shrink your neck and wait.

The other forces didn't know that Dong Shengguo had already begun to take action after deducting the four old forces outside the Ling family.

First of all, they followed Zhao Hu's practice and did not recruit peasant soldiers at all, because it was too much of a hindrance to recruit peasant soldiers in war.

Not to mention that these peasant soldiers can only fight with the wind, it is an insoluble matter to limit the time of sending troops.

Therefore, although the cost of maintaining the peasant army does not need much, there are so many restrictions, especially seeing that the Zhao family has relied on the standing army to build such a huge territory since the army started.

These four lord families made up their minds not to recruit peasant soldiers anymore and concentrate on forming a standing army.

For these four families who have occupied the first place in this Dongsheng country for many years, it is also very simple to select the elite from the people under their command.

After all, there was a limit on the amount of the standing army before, and when good seedlings were found among the peasants and soldiers, they only wrote down their names, addresses, and places of origin, and supplemented them when the standing army was lacking.

Now, at the sound of an order, the able-bodied peasant soldiers who had long been recorded were immediately called up. And the reason why these elite peasant soldiers are recorded is that their strength is of course very good.

Both the rules and combat effectiveness are very good, so as soon as these elite peasant soldiers are recruited, they will be almost the same as the standing army!

If you change the clothes and equipment of the standing army, you can't tell which is a veteran and which is a new soldier if you stand still!

The simultaneous actions of the four families made the surrounding forces stunned. Immediately came to his senses and watched silently. Because in their minds, it must be that the four major families have sensed the threat of the Zhao family and are ready to unite to exterminate the Zhao family.

After all, these lieutenant colonel families could sense the Zhao family's huge advantage over the control of Dongshengguo, and they didn't believe that these four families didn't perceive this threat.

Most of the forces have nothing to do with themselves, and they are watching from the sidelines. And he also pointed and laughed and discussed the war, there was a good chance of winning over there.

Originally, the four lords who each occupied half of the county united to attack the lord who occupied one county, generally speaking, four and a half counties were better than one county, but who called the Zhao family couldn't use common sense!

If you speculate with common sense, the Zhao family started with a hundred stones, and it will take at least a few years to meet a good opportunity before they will jump to the appearance of a thousand stones. As for becoming a lord? I can't even dream of it!

Who would have thought that the Zhao family's hundred stones would be sealed, and within a few days, they would leap into the territory of a thousand stones.

A few months later, just after the autumn harvest, some thieves invaded, just in time to take revenge for their neighbors and swallow up thousands of their neighbors' territories.

If it's just like this, there is no other interface, and the Zhao family is trapped in that poor place with thousands of stones.

But the local tyrant of Tianlan Township was too greedy and formed a coalition to crusade against the Zhao family, but he was beaten by the Zhao family and took the opportunity to swallow the entire Tianlan Township and became the lord of Wanshi.

If that's the case, it's just a small lord, and he will probably be in the countryside for the rest of his life. But the Ling family, the original lord of the Zhao family, was also greedy, and directly sent troops to crusade against this retainer who had jumped from 100 stones to 10,000 stones in less than a year.

The result was just as tragic, the head of the Ling family and the important ministers were directly cut off, Ling Wucheng was also occupied, and the Ling family, one of the five major in the Dongsheng Kingdom, degenerated into a local tyrant in the countryside so quickly. Then, it is estimated that the Zhao family discovered their own force and awesomeness, and naturally began to expand externally.

At that time, everyone thought that the Zhao family would swallow the Ling family's old collar and become one of the new five major of Dongsheng Kingdom. But to everyone's surprise, the Zhao family ignored the old leader of the Ling family, and directly mobilized troops and horses to attack Donghai County, which was watching the excitement on the side.

At first, everyone was stunned, but when they looked at the map, they all gave a thumbs up. Because as long as the Zhao family retains the existence of the Ling family's old leader, then no big force in this direction can suddenly attack him.

You can concentrate on attacking the Tokai County, which has thirteen lords. It's just that everyone is also gloating, the Zhao family may have brains, but don't look at the thirteen Wanshi lords in Donghai County who are fighting each other, it looks like it's so chaotic, but it is not so easy to be captured, and it can't be said that the Zhao family has fallen into a quagmire since then.

It's just that just when everyone brought a small bench to sit and watch, the Zhao family's attack once again amazed the world. It was also at this time that the world understood that the Zhao family had actually formed such a powerful killer army. It's so awesome that you can directly capture thirteen powerful lords.

As soon as this meeting came, everyone was panicked, especially when the thirteen lords were forced to announce their submission to the Zhao family, if the Zhao family had thirteen Wanshi retainers, would there be any other way out for this Dongsheng country? So everyone worked together to support the thirteen families, and also ran to buy the originally neutral Donghai County Naval Army.

But the result was a big disappointment for everyone. The Zhao family first did not move after conquering the five small cities on the border, desperately transporting supplies from the rear, looking like they wanted to fight a protracted war.

After the Donghai County coalition army attracted these five small cities, they quickly took a detour to kill the Donghai County Navy first, and then subdued the sailors of the East China Sea Army, and cooperated with the front-line troops to flank the East China Sea Coalition Army before and after, and wiped out the East China Sea Alliance Army without much effort.

Now it seems that supporting the thirteen Wanshi families to elect a new lord to start a war with the Zhao family is a bad move.

Because if it hadn't been moved before, the Zhao family would have had thirteen more subordinate lords of ten thousand stone lords, but at that time, the most Zhixing that the Zhao family could control was one hundred thousand stones.

Because at that time, the families of Donghai County were all subject to the thirteen lords, and the Zhao family deprived one-third of Zhixing at most to be a territory.

Where is it like now, the entire family of Donghai County has been wiped out, and the land of the entire Donghai County belongs to the Zhao family. actually made a 300,000 Shi Taishou lord come out! It's really hard to know what to say!

So now that they saw that the four hundred thousand stone lords were preparing to start a war against the three hundred thousand stone lords, everyone was naturally waiting to see a good show. Want to get involved? Let's wait until the fight is about the same.

It's just that these onlookers spit out their eyes again, and even jumped up directly. Because the four major families, after reorganizing a standing army of almost 3,000 people, they don't care whether it is a busy agricultural period or not.

There is a very tacit understanding to directly send troops to recruit the small and medium-sized families that occupy half of the county territory in their own county, and drag themselves back all day long regardless of whether they surrender or not! Obviously, he was preparing to unify the whole county first, and then start a war against the big threat of the Zhao family.

This is obviously a very good strategy, as long as the four major families let go of their vigilance for many years and do not do things that delay them, with so many standing armies, they can definitely dominate the whole county.

It's just that this made those families who were originally watching the excitement immediately scream. The onlookers never expected that no matter how they looked at it, it would look like they were gathering all their strength to deal with the four major families of the Zhao family. I turned the gun around and turned it on my own people!

It's understandable just to think about it. The Zhao family is so awesome, the 300,000 stone-high Taishou lord, if you want to start a war with such a lord, you have to settle your own backyard!

It was also these small families who died, in order not to let any big force dominate the Dongsheng Kingdom. has been making trouble behind the butts of the five major families for many years, and the five major families can't really unite to concentrate on dealing with their own backyards.

Therefore, these small families lived a fairly chic life, and they also deliberately formed a large alliance to fight against the five major families, everyone thought that the days would pass from generation to generation, but they didn't expect that a peasant warrior suddenly appeared in the Ling family, and in an instant, his kung fu expanded from a hundred stone Zhixing to three hundred thousand stone Zhixing.
