Xiao Linglong left, bringing Chu Tianya's thoughts and deep love, and completely untying him.

For a long time, Xiao Linglong has not only been the strongest relationship between Chu Tianya and Jiao Wentong, but also the biggest bond between the two. In fact, Jiao Wentong may not really want to compete with Chu Tianya, or he may be anti-willing. It's just that he objectively represents the original Taihang Jiushan power group. As long as he is in the camp, it will be difficult for power and prestige to be completely concentrated in Chu Tianya's hands.

Unless Chu Tianya takes some extraordinary measures to solve this problem. But as long as he does it, it will inevitably touch Jiao Wentong's sensitive nerves, which will make Xiao Linglong sandwiched in the middle, and it will be difficult to be a person inside and out.

Now that Xiao Linglong is gone, Chu Tianya took advantage of Jiao Wentong's reaction and made a few big moves-

First, Chu Tianya asked Liang Xing, the leader of Qixingzhai, to lead nearly half of the people of this branch to the Monk Cave branch under the arrangement of Ma Kuo to receive formal militarized training under the arrangement of Ma Kuo. This is the established rule of the Xishan Righteous Army, and all the horses and horses in the whole army must receive this kind of systematic regular militarization training in batches, and the head of the head is Ma Kuo, and the location is in the monk cave.

When such an order was issued, Liang Xing did not dare to disobey, and immediately counted the people and set off to the monk's cave. At the same time, Chu Tianya sent a fast horse to Qingyun Fort to give an order, ordering the Tiger Ben Commander Tang Ang and Anu to lead the lord's pro-Xun Tiger Ben army to Qixingzhai to protect the lord. At the same time, in order to prevent the attack on Qixingzhai when the number of men and horses decreased, Chu Tianya ordered Wang Xun of the monk cave to be transferred, and asked him to lead 5,000 trained "Qingyun Chop" infantry to Qixingzhai to consolidate the defense.

It was such a method of transferring at the same level and exchanging troops for troops, Chu Tianya disintegrated the branch forces entrenched in Qixingzhai. Liang Xing is the "agent" of Taihang Zhuzhai selected by Jiao Wentong, and now he is leading half of the men and horses to be transferred to Ma Kuo's men, and he is close to Qingyun Castle, and he can no longer toss the big waves at the feet of the Son of Heaven. The remaining two little leaders, Fu Xuan and Liu Ze, will be cleaned up. At the same time, Chu Tianya transferred the most loyal Tiger Benjun and Wang Xun, these people were firmly united around Chu Tianya, and it was not a problem to suppress a hundred Fu Xuan Liu Ze.

When this method was used, Chu Tianya did not give the slightest sign to the outside world. Even Liang Xing suddenly came back to his senses when he was about to set off - this time he was miscalculated! Now as long as he leaves Qixingzhai, it will be even more difficult to return to Taihang Mountain!

This is Chu Tianya's first stroke after taking office, thunderous and unexpected.

Now that the move has been made, there is absolutely no possibility of being timid. Immediately afterwards, Chu Tianya sacrificed the second sword:

He wrote a letter denouncing the Jurchens, calling on the remnants of the Liao State and the Han people who had been bullied by the Jurchens to unite against the Jurchens and avenge their blood hatred. The text is all over Hedong and Hebei, from the county government to the countryside. In addition to the text, Chu Tianya also sent many eloquent people to go around to propagate the anti-Jin to save the country, protect the territory and the people, provoke hatred against the Jurchens, and stimulate people's blood and patriotism. In an instant, the tide of anti-gold in the north of Hedong and Hebei was surging, and Chu Tianya's reputation was growing day by day.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Tianya officially launched a recruitment order, specifically recruiting warriors who can "ride and shoot well" to join Qixingzhai. At the same time, the more than 5,000 captured Jurchen war horses gathered in Qingyun Fort were all transferred to Qixingzhai and handed over to Tang Ang to manage.

Within ten days, the sturdy warriors who came to defect were almost about to break through the Heavenly Barrier of Qixingzhai!

Chu Tianya and Bai Xu personally presided over the selection of the cavalry, because there were too many people who came to defect, and in the end, it was almost one out of ten, and it was not easy to initially clarify the cavalry team of 7,000 people. The rest of Ding Zhuang and Chu Tianya temporarily incorporated them into Wang Xun's command, and none of them were wasted.

In less than half a month, more than 10,000 warriors have been added to Qixingzhai, most of whom are nomads who were proficient in riding and archery in the Liao Kingdom in the past. Coupled with the fugitive life in recent years, they are all characters who dare to work hard and are not afraid of death.

As soon as this new cavalry was formed, it concretized a solid foundation and the true character of the wild spirit. These 7,000 people are not fixed members, and they will have to go through elimination and supplementation in the future training and assessment, and strive to be fierce and absolutely obedient to Chu Tianya!

Of course, this newly convened cavalry team was unceremoniously incorporated into the "Tiger Army" by Chu Tianya. Except for the lord of Xishan, no one has the right to command and transfer them. In this way, the Tiger Ben Army has been greatly strengthened, and its strength has soared geometrically.

Chu Tianya also specially invited He Bo from Xishan to help him train the Tiger Army.

Although the old man's reputation in the rivers and lakes will be a little louder, in fact, he is the real military master. Jiao Wentong can train Xiao Qi, Xue Yu can train Qingyun Chop, as their master, he was also the chief military advisor and the head of the soldiers and horses under Fang La, the old man wants to train these more than 10,000 people and horses, it is simply a piece of cake.

Soon, all the pig iron and other things allocated by the imperial court were transported to Qingyun Castle, countless blacksmiths worked overtime to build weapons and horse harnesses, and the sound of soot in Qixing Mountain was endless day and night. In the Kaiyang Palace of Wuqu, which has been desolate for many days, there are also all kinds of brave warriors who practice boxing and martial arts every day and compete for the inferior.

Not long after, Zhang Xiaochun personally led the team and sent a group of "capable people" sent by the imperial court - the craftsmen of the gunpowder workshop specially requested by Chu Tianya arrived!

Along with this, there are also a large number of gunpowder ingredients and components for making various types of firearms.

Chu Tianya arranged this group of people in the Tianji Palace in the innermost layer of Qixing Village, which was once the residence of Xue Yu, the king of Lucun Xing. This mountain peak is relatively steep, a Taoist temple is built in the middle of the mountain, as long as a mountain road goes straight up, easy to defend, difficult to attack, easy to guard. Chu Tianya marked this place as an important place for military aircraft, and martial law was comparable to the military aircraft hall in Qingyun Castle, and idlers were not allowed to enter, otherwise they would be killed!

Then, Tianji Palace completely became Chu Tianya's private top-secret space, which would be used exclusively for the study of various firearms in the future.

……

Qixingzhai is making a big noise here, and it is impossible for Qingyun Castle not to know about it. But even if Jiao Wentong is unhappy in his heart, he is impeccable and blameless. Because everything Chu Tianya did was in line with his identity as a lord and in line with the overall interests of Xishan. Jiao Wentong could only watch Chu Tianya do whatever he wanted, dividing the Seven Star Village by dividing it by two and dividing it into the "Chu industry".

In Bai Xu's words, the lord used such a beautiful and domineering conspiracy to rob and rob openly and blatantly seize power. From now on, no one within us will be able to pose a threat to the position of the Lord, who will have real authority!

Chu Tianya smiled and said, the conspiracy is used to deal with the enemy; As the lord, I only have Yang Mou to use.

The number of people in Qixingzhai has increased to 30,000. Invisibly, the center of gravity of the Xishan Righteous Army seems to have returned to the natural Xiongguan fortress of Qixingzhai. Recalling that Jiao Wentong and Bai Xu and others led the crowd to join Qingyun Castle, in the blink of an eye, it was only a few months, and Qixingzhai made a comeback. It's just that now, the owner has changed.

Jiao Wentong, who was in Qingyun Castle, could only sigh and sigh, what a big move to move mountains and reclaim the sea, it was really terrifying!

In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the eagle flies in September.

In the early morning of this day, Chu Tianya came to Kaiyang Palace as usual to see the old man with a few newly selected cavalry leaders to practice the newly formed tiger cavalry together.

He stood on the second floor of Kaiyang Palace, with Tang Ang and Anu standing on the left and right, and Bai Xu accompanied He Bo on the school field below, recording the training diligence from the side.

Seeing the majestic scene on the school field, Chu Tianya was overjoyed, and sighed sincerely: "It's really like a tiger and a horse, and the old man does have a set of military training!" ”

"It's not like I'm raising horses well!" Tang Anwen snorted loudly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Chu Tianya for not praising him.

Chu Tianya laughed, "Of course—I'll reward you with two roast pigs at night!" ”

"Hey, hey, good!" Tang Ang immediately smacked his saliva. For him, there aren't many things to watch in this world. In addition to brotherly righteousness, all that remains is feeding horses, fighting, and roasting pigs. As for the contradictions between the lord and Jiao Wentong, or questions such as why Xiao Linglong suddenly disappeared, although Tang Ang would also pay attention to it, he couldn't think of a reason for the death. Therefore, he simply chose to ignore it.

Anu, who is as tall and majestic as Tang An, is the opposite. He rarely said two sentences in three days, his expression was forever indifferent, and he seemed to always have something on his mind. Unless Chu Tianya opened his mouth to tell him something, he never took the initiative to do one thing or say a word.

Chu Tianya looked sideways at Anu and said, "Anu, what are you thinking?" ”

"Back to the lord, my subordinates didn't think about anything." Anu replied indifferently.

"You've been with me for a while, but I've never seen you smile." Chu Tianya said, "You seem to be very prejudiced against me? ”

"If you go back to the lord, no."

"You don't want to ask, where did Lord Xiao go?"

"If you go back to the lord, your subordinates don't want to ask."

"Why?"

"If the lord wants his subordinates to know, he will naturally tell his subordinates; The lord doesn't want his subordinates to know, and if his subordinates ask, it's in vain, and they shouldn't ask. ”

Chu Tianya smiled dumbly, "It's rare that you have said everything you have said for a few days in one go." I see that you have a lot on your mind every day, so I am thinking, now that Lord Xiao is gone, you have every reason not to follow me anymore. No matter how you want to go, I will not force you to stay. ”

"If a subordinate wants to leave, no one can stop him." Anu was still very indifferent, and replied, "The county lord ordered me to protect the lord, and unless she retracts her order or Anu dies, his subordinates will always carry out this order." ”

Tang Ang sneered on the side, "I thought my brain was dead enough, it turns out that this world is even more brainless than me!" ”

Anu just glanced at Tang Ang coldly, and didn't say anything at all.

Tang Ang was bored, pursed his lips and ignored him.

Chu Tianya smiled and said in his heart, saying that my two personal guards and pro-commander are really like a pair of twins.

At this moment, there was a sudden uproar in the martial arts hall on the first floor, and even He Bo and Bai Xu, who were training on the school ground, noticed it.

"Hey, it looks like someone is competing!" Tang Ang became interested, "Lord, do you want me to go down and have a look?" ”

"Presumably, it must be the person who made the shot who was shocked, so there was such a movement." Chu Tianya said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look!" ”
