Seven days have passed since Yao Ruoyu decided on the name of the army.

What is strange is that although Guan Lu's face was full of resentment and hatred when he left, and he was eager to lead the army to attack immediately, until today, whether it is Hangzhou, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, or Chongqing Mansion, there is no news, as if the imperial court has forgotten them.

However, during this period, while the Song army was still attacking, Yang Renjie, Fu Feng, and Luo He immediately started recruiting soldiers.

Soon, the Thunder God Battalion headed by Yang Renjie and supplemented by Li Yilin and Hou Jingru, and the Rock Tiger Battalion headed by Fu Feng and supplemented by Jiang Siyu and Wu Xue, as well as the Luo Family Camp composed of Luo He's masters, set up a recruiting point in Hezhou City.

On the first day of setting up the recruitment point, relying on the prestige of the Luo family in Hezhou City for many years, Luo He recruited 300 people in just half a day, and all of them were cultivated in the second realm, and they were strong and strong, even if they were not as elite as the Yanggu Army, they were enough to compete with the defenders of the major cities of the Jin Kingdom.

But in the afternoon of the same day, it was very strange that there were only a few people to sign up at the recruitment point of the Locke camp, although the strength was still good, but there was no longer the crowded scene in the morning.

Seeing that the gap between the morning and the afternoon was so big, Luo He was unconsciously curious, and then his heart moved, so he asked his son Luo Cheng to run away to inquire about the recruitment of the Thunder God Battalion and the Rock Tiger Battalion.

As a result, when Luo Cheng came back, Luo He learned about the situation of the Thunder God Camp and the Rock Tiger Camp, and suddenly the whole person was not good.

Unlike Luojiaying, who only set up a sign to recruit soldiers, Fu Feng spent a lot of money to get all the Qing people such as singers and dancers from several Qinglou in Hezhou to the recruitment point of Yanhu Battalion, attracting a large number of people to watch.

After the number of onlookers reached a certain number, Fu Feng ran to the high platform set up in advance and talked about his origins, as well as the treatment of the Rock Tiger Camp and so on.

In this era when the people were still relatively simple, Fu Feng's eloquence cultivated in the student union immediately attracted the interest of a large number of young people, especially when he knew that Fu Feng was one of the heroes who repelled the wildfire thieves this time, and won the recognition of many people.

As for the Thunder God Camp, Yang Renjie directly held an exhibition, first he condensed the purple electricity, and all kinds of illusions were publicized, which attracted the applause of the people, and then Wu Xue used spiritual magic to create all kinds of brilliant and dazzling fireworks, and everyone around was stunned.

Later, Jiang Siyu took the stage and introduced the situation of the Thunder God Camp to everyone, but she, like Fu Feng, emphasized that she and others were the heroes who repelled the wildfire thieves this time, and because of this, a large number of people signed up to participate.

In just one day, the Rock Tiger Battalion and the Thunder God Battalion recruited a total of nearly 1,000 people, and at the same time, Yang Renjie and Fu Feng also set up a reward system, as long as they introduce people who meet the recruitment standards to join the army, they can get a certain score, and when the score reaches a certain standard, they will be eligible to serve as a captain, Turin, and general.

As a result, there are naturally more and more people who sign up for the Thunder God Camp and the Rock Tiger Camp, especially in small cities such as Hezhou City, where most of the residents are related to each other, and under this reward system, more and more people come to hear the news and want to join the two camps.

After learning of these circumstances, Luo He quickly changed his strategy and planned to learn from Yang Renjie and Fu Feng's methods.

However, the fame of the Thor Battalion and the Rock Tiger Battalion had already been played on the first day, so in the next few days, the recruitment of the Luo family camp was never too ideal, and they could only rely on the Luo family's local connections and fame to barely maintain the situation, and there was no situation where no one came to sign up.

Three days later, the Thunder God Battalion and the Rock Tiger Battalion were recruited successively, and the recruitment speed of the Locke Battalion returned to normal, and the recruitment was completed two days later.

After the recruitment, Yang Renjie, Fu Feng, and Luo He spent a day arranging their positions in the army.

Yang Renjie and Fu Feng naturally served as the battalion commanders of the two battalions, that is, the commanders.

As for the rest of the Ministry of Literature and Art, Hou Jingru and Wu Xue served as the generals of the Thunder God Battalion, Li Yilin and Jiang Siyu were the generals of the Yanhu Battalion; Chen Meng did not like to lead troops, so he served as the commander of the defenders of the City Lord's Mansion; Xu Xuanrong did not have the heart to lead the army, so he took the position of the head of the City Lord's Mansion, and said to the outside world that he was Yao Ruoyu's staff.

After the recruitment was over, Yang Renjie, Fu Feng, and Luo He took their soldiers to the pre-divided garrison location outside the city to conduct training to prepare for the next possible attack.

Although he comes from modern times and is not proficient in military training, Yang Renjie is a descendant of the overlord of Western Chu after all, and he has also learned part of the training methods of the Xiang family's iron cavalry, so military training is naturally not difficult for him.

As for Fu Feng, this guy simply moved the routine of military training in the later generations here, and added some teamwork and other things in the student union, so after a few short days, his training actually looked quite good.

And the last Luo Jia Battalion is the most suitable army of the three battalions in line with the training routine of this era, Luo He specially invited several middle-level generals who were originally defenders of the city to participate in the Luo Jia Camp and let them be responsible for training soldiers.

Whether it was the recruitment or training of the third battalion, Yao Ruoyu didn't pay much attention, first, he believed in the ability of Yang Renjie and others, and secondly, he did not have much time, at this moment, he was cultivating in the Tongyuan Palace, wanting to let himself completely master the sword intent before the revenge of Qin Xiang's henchmen came.

It's a pity, I don't know if it's because the emotion is not enough at that critical point, or because my cultivation is still too weak, until more than ten days later, Yao Ruoyu still can't completely grasp the sword intent, and has only activated it two or three times, and each time he can only hold on for a few breaths.

However, although he failed to master the sword intent, it was precisely because of this period of time that he continued to study the sword intent, Yao Ruoyu completely mastered the sword intent, adding a few more to his combat power, even if he couldn't use trickery later, he was still able to fight beyond the ranks and defeat the four realms.

Just when Yang Renjie and the others were making a fuss about military training, and Yao Ruoyu was in retreat to comprehend the way of the sword, Xu Xuanrong was sitting in the city lord's mansion in Diaoyu City, looking at the letter in front of him with a mocking look at the corners of his lips.

This is the information that the disciples of the Lily Sect found in Chongqing, and after the authenticity was confirmed, it was sent to Hezhou as soon as possible and passed on to her.

Three days later, Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan led 5,000 soldiers and were ordered to conquer Hezhou. ”

Muttering the information on the letter, Xu Xuanrong suddenly smiled, and ordered the attendant beside him: "Hurry up and find the city lord, let him go back to the city lord's mansion, and tell him...... The snake has come out of the hole, and the general trend has been achieved. ”

*——*——*——*

"More than ten days ago, after Guan Lu was driven out of Hezhou City, he immediately returned to Chongqing, with the help of the communication spirit array, the matter here was reported to the military department in Hangzhou, the result of the high-level military department was furious, and the matter was raised in the court, suggested by the Qin Xiang, Emperor Song issued an order, and ordered the defenders of Tongnan and Tongliang to come to suppress the rebellion. ”

But after this will was transmitted to Chongqing, Chu Madge suddenly stopped this will, and applied to the imperial court to be in charge of this matter, Emperor Song immediately agreed when he heard about it, and then Chu Madge ordered people to recruit the militia of several nearby cities to form an army of 5,000 people, which was handed over to Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan to attack Hezhou. ”

Thinking of this, Yao Ruoyu suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "So, this is why the offensive of the Song Dynasty came so slowly, it turned out that the king of Chu stopped the will and asked him to be responsible, so back and forth, plus the conscription of the militia, so he came to attack us so late." ”

At this time, in the city lord's mansion, Yao Ruoyu sat in the first seat, and Xu Xuanrong, Yang Renjie, Fu Feng, Bai Qiuyu, Luo He, Luo Cheng and others sat on the left and right, which was the first official meeting of the high-level leaders of the literary and artistic army.

"I said Brother Yao, isn't it the time to talk about this?" Touching his head, Yang Renjie smiled bitterly, "Why is Chu Yuan's big mallet coming to beat us?" ”

"It's because you can't beat it, right?" Fu Feng said with a sneer.

"Damn, who said that? Didn't I beat him like a joke?" Yang Renjie was suddenly furious, and just after retorting, he saw the disdainful gaze of Jiang Siyu and others, and then smiled embarrassedly, "Ahem, this ...... You have to wait for me to develop, and now I will fight him, what is the difference between this and a novice number full of runes and talents, and a level 30 trumpet?"

Xu Xuanrong smiled, and said: "Brother Yang's words are true, according to intelligence, Chu Yuan is already a four-realm two-fold, and Chu Xuan is a three-realm nine-fold, in fact, it is not difficult to deal with these two people, the city lord is enough to deal with Chu Yuan, and I can deal with Chu Xuan, but the five thousand soldiers they brought are a problem." ”

"Isn't there still the White Crane Academy?" Wu Xue was holding a grilled fish with a mouth full of oil, and immediately raised his head when he heard this, and said with a smile, "Isn't Grandpa Bai all five realms? It shouldn't be difficult to deal with five thousand soldiers, right? Besides, we still have six thousand people, let's do it...... Oh, they don't need to get out of the way!"

"That's not the case," shaking his head slightly, Luo He said in a deep voice, "After all, our six thousand people are all recruits, although the cultivation may be similar to the militia led by the second son of the Chu family, but whether it is the formation or mentality, it is definitely inferior to them, and it is ......"

Speaking of this, Luo He couldn't help but glance at Bai Qiuyu, and Jiang Siyu said lightly when he saw this: "Moreover, I'm afraid that Old Dean Bai may not be willing to help us, after all, Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan represent the orthodoxy of the imperial court, and we are only rebels." ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Bai Qiuyu groaned slightly, then got up and bowed to Yao Ruoyu, and said solemnly: "Before Bai came, he had tried to persuade his father, but his father was unwilling, and Qiuyu couldn't, but since Bai was a member of the literary army, he naturally lived and died with you, and he would never break his word." ”

Seeing Bai Qiuyu's solemn expression, Yao Ruoyu hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother Bai, why do you need to be like this? You and I met in Chongqing, and we have a deep relationship, and then we meet again in Hezhou, which is also fate, and I naturally trust you." ”
