Zhang Meng smiled and said: "Lord, I didn't lie to you, do you want me to recruit my own soldiers to show you?" ”

"No need." Wang Xu waved his hand and said, "I won't go in, you go and train hard." ”

"No." Zhang Meng muttered a sentence and strode towards the barracks.

After the soldiers finished the inspection, Wang Xu returned to the courtyard.

In the next few days, Wang Xu came to the barracks every day to walk around, but he came quietly, did not enter the barracks, and he went back after watching for about half an hour.

On this day, Ye Xiong came to Languan City.

After Ye Xiong arrived at the mansion, Wang Xu hurried back from the barracks.

In a side hall, Ye Xiong was sitting at the coffee table and waiting quietly, and when he saw Wang Xu coming, he immediately got up and saluted: "Lord." ”

"Sit down, what's the matter?" Wang Xu waved his hand.

The two sat down, Ye Xiong said: "Lord, Jinyiwei has been formed" took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, Ye Xiong said: "This is all the list of Jinyiwei, as well as all the official positions of the establishment, please take a look." ”

opened the bamboo slip and looked carefully, Wang Xu was immediately startled, not because there were too many people, but because the official position of Jinyiwei was too bizarre, it was almost the same as that of the Ming Dynasty in ancient China, and there were still small flags and general flags, which made Wang Xu have to be shocked.

The smallest official position of the Jinyi Guard in the Ming Dynasty was 100 households, followed by 1000 households, small flags, and general flags, but Ye Xiong set up to directly skip 100 households and 1,000 households, and only retained the small flag and the general flag, so that it was much more streamlined, because the number of Jinyi Guards was limited after all.

While looking at the bamboo slips, Wang Xu asked, "How did you come up with the idea of using the small flag and the general flag?" ”

Ye Xiong smiled: "I made it up casually, if the lord thinks it's not good, he can replace it." ”

Wang Xu waved his hand: "No need to change, so be it." ”

According to the name on the bamboo slip, there are more than 1,000 Jinyi Guards, and they have been sent to all counties in the world at this moment, among which the Jinyi Guards of the Imperial Capital and the Royal City have been sent as early as five days ago, calculate the time, and now I am afraid it has arrived.

At the end of the bamboo slip, Wang Xu saw a name [Jing Jianwei], this name is very good, and the bamboo slip also made a brief introduction to this establishment, the main role is to secretly protect his own safety, for the strength of these black-clothed killers, Wang Xu was very relieved, looked at it, he didn't say anything.

Putting down the bamboo slip, Wang Xu said casually: "Is the cost of forming a brocade guard enough?" ”

Ye Xiong had a straight face and said, "The subordinates were about to explain this matter to the lord, and all the gold was used up. ”

Wang Xu just asked casually, but he didn't expect it to run out, it was 10,000 gold, if it was used to form ordinary soldiers, it was enough to equip tens of thousands of troops.

Wang Xu frowned: "Why did you use it so quickly?" That's 10,000 gold! ”

Ye Xiong smiled bitterly: "Lord, 10,000 gold is too little, 100,000 gold is about the same, just recruit more than 1,000 Jinyi Guards members and build equipment, and the subordinates spent nearly 2,000 gold, and now thousands of Jinyi Guards are going to various places, and each person only takes a few hundred gold, which is only enough to settle down in various counties, such as opening a restaurant first, or buying a courtyard to hide people's eyes, as for finding out the news, it is impossible to do it." ”

"Why can't you find out the news?" Wang Xu was puzzled.

Ye Xiong said: "If you want to get accurate information, you must establish a huge network of relationships, such as having a good relationship with the royal family in the county, installing the present in the royal city, buying off the guards and followers around many big people, etc., and all of these do not need money, especially with the royal family in the imperial capital, without strong financial resources, it is impossible to do it." ”

Wang Xu suddenly realized, he didn't expect that finding out the news would be so complicated, think about Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, how mysterious and powerful the Jinyi Wei he set up was, thinking about it at this moment, I don't know how much effort and money was spent behind this force, and it was definitely not something that could be done by just pulling a few people.

Although it will cost a lot of manpower and financial resources, Wang Xu is also very heartbroken, but he will never give up, after thinking about it, Wang Xu said: "Other counties can suspend the development first, the most important thing at the moment is to put the Jinyi Guard in the Guxi King City into operation, no matter what news you get, you must report it every day." ”

"As for the cost, you don't have to worry, there should be tens of thousands of gold in Languan City, you can go to Wu Cheng and ask him to call it to you."

Ye Xiong said excitedly: "Yes." He still can't believe that he actually commands such a mysterious army, and has the absolute power of life and death, judging from Wang Xu's attitude just now, he doesn't care about how this army is formed and operated, what he wants is the result. In this way, Ye Xiong's power is greater, no less than that of a general who leads an army alone

Time passed unconsciously, and in a blink of an eye, half a moon later, the weather had turned cooler at this moment, all the soldiers had added a shirt, and even Wang Xu had put on two clothes.

At this time, Li Zhi and Qin Shuang's troops had completed the siege task and led the army to move closer to the royal city, and Huang Quan was the same, he captured a total of five cities, his position was not far from the royal city, although he completed the task one day after Li Zhi and the two, but he was ahead of Li Zhi and Qin Shuang.

As for Sun Yu's tens of thousands of troops, he had already taken all the cities and garrisoned them in Qingyang City, which was the closest city to the royal city.

I have to say that the speed of the cavalry is very fast, in this short period of more than 20 days, Sun Yu took nearly ten cities, its speed is unparalleled, it is unimaginable, there are many cities where the infantry has not yet arrived, just use the cavalry to turn around the city, the county order in the city will be lowered, so, this way of conquest, Sun Yu did not fight much at all, and after the cavalry took the city, use the infantry to occupy the city.

All the soldiers were gathering towards the royal city, and it was time for Wang Xu to leave.

Zhang Xue also knew this, so she had been begging Wang Xu to take her with her for the past few days, but Zhang Xue was now pregnant, how could Wang Xu let her suffer from that kind of march.

Moreover, this time the decisive battle with Zhou Yi is unpredictable, and it is even more dangerous than the last time, once the army is defeated, there will be no place to bury him.

After thinking about it again, he still decided to leave Zhang Xue in Languan, but for the sake of her safety, Wang Xu left Liao Yun behind, along with the five thousand elites trained by Liao Yun, plus the thousand defenders in Minglan County, Languan has a total of 6,000 soldiers, sufficient food and grass, and countless equipment to defend the city.
