Chapter 157: Expedition

For a time, the people of the whole city, some applauded Zhang Jun's love and righteousness, some scolded Zhang Jun for being irrational, some failed to display their ambitions and used alcohol to dispel their sorrows, and more people worshiped Zhang Jun as a god, and were privately assembling to prepare to attack Emperor Leng's army.

After Leng Xiang'er led 30 million troops into Chiyan Pass, the entire army of 30 million soldiers entered the intensive innovation, all ways were copied according to the model of Zhang Jun's Red Flame Army, and the training and application of firearms were also included in the training schedule, and the 30 million army was also divided into 30 armies, and ten palace commanders were re-elected.

Leng Xiang'er became the new city lord, and the newly elected ten palace marshals took over the wheel of the original ten palace marshals.

The entire Red Flame Pass does not seem to have changed in the slightest except that Zhang Jun's position as the city lord was replaced by Leng Xiang'er, the princess of Yunyang Kingdom.

Of course, the resistance of the people is very serious, not only because of the hatred caused by decades of war, but more importantly, because Zhang Jun went to the Red Flame Pass for the sake of love, which intensified the anger of Zhang Jun's believers. Leng Xiang'er didn't expect that the people's support for Zhang Jun was beyond his expectations, but fortunately, Zhang Jun's four father-in-law kept secretly showing up to solve and appease Zhang Jun's believers, so that there was no big riot in the city.

The business that Leng Xiang'er was originally responsible for and all the things in the City Lord's Mansion have been handed over to Su Yun after the disguise has been handed over, Leng Xiang'er and Su Yun are now busy every day, and when they return to the City Lord's Mansion to rest, they don't even have the heart to fight with each other.

After receiving the news, he celebrated a lot, and after Zhang Jun's Tianyi Jewelry Store fell, he bought those blessed gems and mines at a low price, and sent secret agents to watch the changes.

A few days later, the blessed gem buyers of various countries did not wait for the news of the collapse of Tianyi Jewelry, except for the change of a general manager, the name of Tianyi Jewelry Company was changed by one word, and the rest of the jewelry store was not touched at all.

Since Yunyangguo took over Chiyan Pass, not only did Qiu not commit any crimes, but even all of Zhang Jun's business was not affected in any way, and it was still in progress, which made this acquirer anxious, like ants on a hot pot, gathered together to keep inquiring about the news.

Originally, I thought that according to the past brutality of Yunyang Kingdom, some of the people in the Red Flame Pass had accepted the preparation for being evil, but this day did not come at all, and Zhang Jun's strategy and laws for governing the city did not change at all, but invested more spars in the construction of the Red Flame Pass. All the people needed was a stable life, and the turmoil in the city was gradually subsided, and Chiyan Pass returned to its former prosperity.

........

Although there are different suggestions and opinions, as the order of the supreme commander, it must be carried out to the letter, and Zhang Jun is still the divine residence in their hearts.

The 30 million men and horses of the Red Flame Army were divided into 30 armies, with a commander in charge of each army and a palace commander for every three armies.

Together with Zhang Jun were the fifteen armies led by Hou Zhen, Han Tao, Du Junxian, Qi Fengyang, and Gong Jian.

Of course, there are also Kong Cheng, who was newly promoted to the captain of the 100,000 pro-guard guards, and Cao Sheng, the newly formed head of the Huangwujing Legion with the four major sects as the main force, and Brother Xue followed Zhang Jun step by step, and no one was allowed to approach Zhang Jun's range, except for Youyue, of course.

During this time, Zhang Jun's understanding and portrayal of runes have made great progress, most of the rune words introduced in the book have been understood by Zhang Jun, and there is no difficulty in writing complicated runes with a cinnabar pen, and it is easy to depict runes with fingers hanging in the air, so far there are no more than ten rune words carved with souls, but this has exceeded the moon a lot, and even the ancestors of the Chang family were shocked by Zhang Jun's high understanding.

In order for Zhang Jun to practice the formation faster, the ancestor of the Chang family, who had not been out of the Red Flame Pass for more than a hundred years, also came to Jun'an City with Zhang Jun's expedition team with Youyue, of course, a person with the identity of the ancestor of the Chang family could not show his face directly, but was hidden in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the only people who knew this secret were a few palace marshals and Kong Cheng, Cao Sheng and others.

The army of Emperor Zeng in Jun'an City has already withdrawn, and when Zhang Jun came, it was already an empty city, and even the five major families had already left their homeland with Emperor Zeng, and Guan Xiang was Zhang Jun's fiancée, and the five families had already known that how could they dare to stay in Jun'an City to be powerful.

The people of Jun'an City had already heard everything about Zhang Jun in Chiyan Pass, especially the fact that Zhang Jun scared away the five evil families, and almost everyone went out of the city to welcome the arrival of Zhang Jun, the king of Red Flames.

There are also many beautiful girls, dressed up in fancy ways to attract Zhang Jun's attention, Zhang Jun of course ignored these beauties with different goals, these ladies in the family are enough for Zhang Jun to drink a pot, and they really don't have the heart to make trouble again.

........

Emperor Zeng was strategizing during this time, and played the Eight Kings and his gang around, first exchanging the national capital Red Blood City for Lingshan City, which was a great success, and the families in the court who supported Zeng Huang and the main forces of the six major sects that supported Zeng Huang were successfully replaced by King Song's tricks.

Although the five million garrisons of Lingshan City were not captured by the Song Dynasty, the officials who planned to rebel against Yuncheng and Huaiyang City, as well as the nearly 10 million troops that had been recruited around these three cities, were taken by Emperor Zeng one by one, causing the Eight Kings to suffer heavy losses, and they gritted their teeth with hatred but were helpless against Emperor Zeng.

The Eight Kings originally planned to spend blood to recruit 30 million troops, but they were disturbed by Emperor Zeng's meal, and finally returned to the Red Blood City with less than 20 million people, and also lost many masters of Huang Wujing.

The ten major sects of the Red Blood Country originally took away the four major forces when Zhang Jun became the Red Flame King, and this time the other six families were almost uprooted and brought to Guiyun City by Emperor Zeng. The talents in the Red Blood City have withered, and the emptiness has reached the limit, and the bustling and lively Red Blood City feels a little lifeless.

Although the Eight Kings have been recognized by the Royal Elders' Hall, three of the five major families, and many old ministers, they have become the weakest party due to Emperor Zeng's plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.

.........

Zhang Jun's cession of Chiyan Pass to Yunyang Kingdom in exchange for his beloved woman soon reached the ears of Emperor Zeng, who had always been calm, was completely overwhelmed by Zhang Jun's actions, and originally did not believe the news that came, but later came one after another like snowflakes, only to know that it was not only a rumor, Leng Xiang'er of Yunyang Country had completely taken over Chiyan Pass without being injured and a soldier.

Emperor Zeng was so angry that he scolded Zhang Jun for his injustice. The change of ownership of the Red Flame Pass to the Yunyang Kingdom is equivalent to half of the Red Blood Country being under the deterrence of the Yunyang Kingdom, and there is no more dangerous place like the Red Flame Pass to defend. At the same time, it disrupted the layout of Emperor Zeng to encircle Zhang Jun on three sides.

"Brother Huang is angry, I always feel that there is something strange in this, although I can't guess what the specific thing is, but I always feel that it will not be so simple, did Zhang Jun really give up his hard-earned foundation for love?" King Song frowned, he didn't believe that Zhang Jun would do such a stupid thing at all.

"Oh, does the emperor's brother suspect Zhang Jun's deception?" asked Emperor Zeng.

"No, it's not a suspicion, there must be fraud in this, it's just why did Zhang Jun give up the Red Flame Pass? But it's an elusive thing" King Song didn't understand what made Zhang Jun give up the Red Flame Pass.

"Zhang Jun gave up the Red Flame Pass in my mind, there are only three possibilities,".

"First, his surrender to Yunyang State, handing over Chiyan Pass to Leng Xiang'er is one of the conditions for surrender, but I think this is absolutely impossible, with the domineering spirit of Zhang Jun's character, how can he be left behind? Not to mention that Zhang Jun has recruited 30 million troops, and he has surpassed the Leng Emperor outside Chiyan Pass in terms of combat power, how can he surrender when he can attack and retreat and defend? So I think surrender is impossible."

"And what about the second possibility?".

"The second possibility is that Zhang Jun and Emperor Leng negotiated an agreed cooperative relationship, and the two sides jointly sent troops to encroach on and carve up the Red Blood Country, which is not very similar to the current situation, because Zhang Jun is not stupid, and the basis of the cooperative relationship is even more impossible to give up his nest to others."

"And what about the third possibility?".

"The third possibility is that Zhang Jun is really for the safety of his own women, the abandoned Chiyan Pass, from the news obtained by the undercover people during this time, Zhang Jun is very fond of four women, among which this general-looking Yun Da Manager is the most favored one, living together every day, and even volunteering to be the entourage of these women. Zhang Jun is lustful and well-known in Chiyan Pass."

"Zhang Jun is lustful? This is impossible! The three maidservants I gave her, but the three extremely beautiful county lords, he didn't even look at the right eyes, I don't agree with your point of view, brother Huang."

"Maybe Zhang Jun has long seen your intentions, brother Huang, so he doesn't accept these three county lords." King Song said after thinking for a moment.

"What you said is basically the same as the situation of Uncle Huai's recital, is it true that Zhang Jun gave up his foundation because of that ordinary woman with an average appearance? I don't really believe that this matter is true! Brother Huang, have you sent someone to investigate the situation of Zhang Jun's women?"
